We are joined by the great Jim Wyatt. Jim, we're talking all things offense today. And so I have to start with the quarterback and the running back. The two most prominent guys on that side of the ball. In your analysis, what did you see out of Ryan Tannehill and Derek Henry? Well, I think Ryan Tannehill has looked poised. He's looked in command. We all remember this time last season he was deferring to Marcus Marriot as the backup quarterback just waiting his turn. He got an opportunity and he hit the ground running. And I think having another year in the system with author Smith, I think he's looked really good. He's been accurate in practices. I think Derek Henry has always been on the go. I think running the football, he's been very effective. He came in camp in great shape when there's a break. And the action hits the sand pit, heads to the bike. He's always doing something. Can tell both those guys are ready to start the season. Do you feel like AJ Brown has picked up where he left off his rookie season in 2019? I do. I look at him and he just doesn't look like a guy who is going to the second season. He's got such a professional approach to him, just his work ethic, the way he attacks the football and practices. I think one thing that's strapped to me is he just hasn't had an easy camp because I think the defensive backs have really risen to the occasion as far as being physical with him, getting up in his face, challenging him on a lot of plays and practices. He's won that battle some days.  But I like that because I think that's something that's going to really prepare here for the season. Adam Humphries is the guy who missed the last couple of months of 2019. He's back now in 2020. Do you feel like he's picking up kind of where he left off? Yeah, I mean, last season he limped to the finish. Unfortunately, because of the ankle injury that he suffered late in the season, I think he gutted it out to be able to play in the season finale. Talking to him this off season, just having a year with Brian Tannehill, kind of knowing what to expect, having a better feel to offense. I have to say, last year, I noticed him in camp more than I have this season. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. I just think this team has so many more options on the offense side of the ball that he doesn't necessarily have to be a focal point in a lot of practices. Jim Wyatt, you've been here for a while. Do you think that this could be one of the most effective Titans offenses in over a decade? Well, it's a tough act to follow. I think there are every reason to believe it can be. But I look at what it did last year. I mean, first in the league in red zone efficiency at 75.6, third in the league in rushing yards, 138.9 a game, fourth in yards per play, 6.2, 10th in points per game, average at 25.1 a game. Tannehill was number one in pass rating. Derek Kenry leads the league in rushing. AJ Brown, a 1,000 yard receiver. So you're picking up from that success. But the good news is these guys are back. And I think there's a comfort level there. These guys have played alongside one another. They've got the same offense of coordinator. So heading into the season, I think there's a reason to be very optimistic about things moving forward. All right, so let's maybe not shoot for all of those number one numbers. But let's shoot for top five. What are some of the keys for the Titans offense to be one of those top five offenses in the league? Well, I think red zone efficiency is always going to be at the top of that list or near the top. Because number one, obviously, is good health. You've got to keep Tannehill healthy. You've got to keep Derek Kenry healthy and have them play a 16 game season and then going in the postseason. But you've got to be able to score when you get close to the end zone. That's what this team did so well last season. So you need to continue to do that, get your playmakers involved, spread the football around. The only real question mark going to season is just how things are going to shake out at right tackle. I think we have a feeling that it's going to end up being Dennis Kelly's spot. So just that offense of line being able to be cohesive and operating without any hiccups is a key as well.


What's up everybody? Jayce here for Jasper's casebricks.com. This is a little random number block, random number block number one for four spots in 2021 tops transcendent case break number one. So of course, please read guys. You are buying the way this works. Of course, you're gonna get four hits in transcendent no matter what. So instead of typing in four names in the random hit, the name is gonna be titled random number block number one four different times. So guaranteed four hits. Now the way those four hits are distributed is like a random number block. So everyone's gonna get a random number from zero through nine with each spot they buy but only for that one hit and any redemptions slash invites will go to automatically spot zero and just as an example if random number block number one and you your random number block number one, sorry and you have certain number number five and we pull a mic Trout five out of 20 then you would get that hit. Of course, and like I said, it's just random number blocks You have four different opportunities basically to get a hit instead of paying that full random hit spot price at 450 plus So good luck everybody. This is number one. I had a doodle over it. Obviously number two is on the website now So if you want to buy any straight up spots, they're still available If you want to buy any spots in the next random number block, they're still available. So let's go guys. Good luck Here's a dice roll. Here's a customer names a bottom Derek down to Jeremy and we have zero one two three four five six seven eight nine Good luck roll it It's a three to six nine times. Good luck one two three four five six seven eight and nine So nine times Three and a six nine Danny at the top down a curtain nine times three six nine one two three four five six seven eight and nine Boom nine times eight down to one So of course if the invite were to be Part of ran a number block number one then that would mean Jeremy poor last Bob Mojo would get spotted would get it with spot zero So Danny have eight Derek with nine Danny with four Jeremy like I said last Bob Mojo So any redemptions or the invite if it does get randomized to R&B one that'll be yours Jared with three Kurt with two Alan with six Danny with one Kurt with five and of course Kurt If there is any one-on-ones randomized to random number block number one then this would go to you So appreciate it guys again. This was random number block number one Number two is on the website. We have seven left to go. So again Just a much cheaper option to potentially get a random hit For paying a smaller price point and who knows guys. I mean, I'm not saying this is gonna happen But I'm pretty sure it's possible is that all the four hits that pop out for random number block number one Could go to the same exact number if it really did so you just never know so appreciate it guys jasky's case breaks calm


What's the difference between worldly joy and godly joy? Simply put, the source. Our joy can only be as strong as its source, last as long as its source, and be as pure as its source. The things of the world are temporary, so they can only bring temporary joy. But the heavenly is eternal, and can therefore bring joy ever-flowing, overflowing. When you have the joy of the Spirit, it lasts in trials, and there's enough of it to spread to those around you. But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Do an honest evaluation. In what do you find your joy?


I have taken a week off, I feel refreshed, and this week's review was chosen by my patrons on Patreon. They got to vote to decide what we would see this week. And what figure did they choose to see this week? They chose Crystal Ball. G.I. Joe's answer to Doctor Strange. He is strange. I don't think he's a doctor, though. I'm not upset that they chose Crystal Ball. I've been looking forward to doing this review. I'm happy this is the one that was selected. Before we get started, I want to thank Chris Pierce. Chris did the thumbnail image for this video. Chris has his own YouTube channel. He does the show Comic Tropes. And if you like comics, you'll probably like that show, so check it out. Crystal Ball has been called the most hated G.I. Joe figure of all time. But there's a lot of lore surrounding Crystal Ball. It's rumored that his file card was written by Stephen King. The look of Crystal Ball was inspired by Vincent Price. And I'm a big Vincent Price fan. He was one of the great horror actors of his generation. And he was more versatile than you might think. He appeared in many non-horror roles. Do not underestimate the power of Vincent Price. Oh my God, he's here. That's right. Doctor Phibes will not be ignored. Yes, I know. Vincent Price didn't only do horror movies. He also had a brief campy phase in which he played characters like Doctor Goldfoot and Doctor Phibes. They were his greatest roles. It's an era most of us have forgotten or are trying to forget. I have come to warn you, reviewer. Your doom is at hand. My doom? Not likely. I made a deal with the devil in case you haven't heard. And by the way, how do you talk without moving your mouth? It didn't make sense in the movie, and it still doesn't make sense. Your doom, reviewer. None may cross paths with Doctor Phibes and live. I have constructed a secret weapon by combining two of Doctor Goldfoot's most famous devices, the Bikini Machine and the Girl Bomb. It is the Bikini Bomb. The Bikini Bomb? Yes, the explosion from the bomb will alter the molecular structure of your clothing, reforming it into a woman's bikini. This will cause you to die of embarrassment. That is the stupidest plan I've ever heard.  First, I don't think I would die of embarrassment. You know I edit these videos, right? I could just cut that part out. Second, your bikini bomb sounds less lethal than your ordinary garden variety bomb. And third, why a bikini?  This is a family show. A family show. Get out of here, Doctor Phibes. You don't belong here. I'm here to review Crystal Ball. I refuse to let this show go campy.  You've been warned! HCC788 presents Crystal Ball. This is Crystal Ball, the Cobra hypnotist from 1987. This figure was first available in 1987 and was also on the pegs in 1988. It was discontinued for the year 1989. Crystal Ball had no replacement in 1989. His file card alludes to Crystal Ball's skills at interrogation. That was the original job of the 1986 Doctor Mindbender before they changed the character to a mad scientist and a master of mind control. The name Crystal Ball comes from the traditional fortune-telling object, also known as an orbuculum. It was deemed heretical by the medieval Christian church, so fortune-telling with a Crystal Ball, also known as scrying, has the mystique of the taboo around it. There is a rumor that Crystal Ball was created by horror writer Stephen King for his son Owen. Owen was a G.I. Joe fan and the character Sneak Peek was named after him. Crystal Ball was mentioned in Stephen King's book, The Tommy Knockers. That book was published in November of 1987. Late in the same year, the Crystal Ball figure was released. I don't know exactly when the figure was released, so I don't know which came first, the book or the figure. There have never been any other versions of Crystal Ball released. Let's look at Crystal Ball's accessory. He came with what the card contents call a Reflected Light Pulse Modulator or Hypno Shield. That's really what it's called. I did not make that up. The Hypno Shield has a clip and that clip will fit on the action figure's wrist, like so. The shield has a lenticular sticker that creates a kaleidoscope effect when the shield is turned. It's supposed to have a hypnotic effect. That sticker can come off. You find a lot of hypno shields without the sticker. That's it for accessories, so let's take a look at Crystal Ball's articulation. He had the articulation that was standard for G.I. Joe figures from 1987. That means he could turn his head from left to right and look up and down. He could swing his arm up at the shoulder and swivel at the shoulder all the way around. He had a hinge at the elbow, allowing him to move at the elbow about 90 degrees. He had a swivel at the bicep, allowing him to swivel his arm all the way around. The figure was held together with a rubber O-ring that looped around the inside. And here is a special channel announcement that will be totally missed by everyone who skips this part of the review. Next week's review will be Python Patrol Viper. He could swing his legs apart about so far. He could swing his leg up at the hip about 90 degrees and bend at the knee about 90 degrees. Let's look at the sculpted design and color of Crystal Ball. But before we get started, I want to point out a flaw in my figure. It looks like this figure has some significant discoloration, especially between the flesh tones on the face and the chest. In fact, the back of the figure looks much closer to the original color. So it looks to me like this figure at some point spent a lot of time face up in the sun. The overall look of Crystal Ball is probably intended to evoke a stereotypical Romani mystic. Such characters have been fodder in literature for generations. In books and movies, such characters are often women. Looking at Crystal Ball's head, there is a strong resemblance to Vincent Price. Although with this hairstyle, it looks more like Vincent Price's character in Scooby-Doo, Vincent Van Ghoul. The sculpting is excellent.  Whatever you may think of Crystal Ball, this is some of the best sculpting of the era. Check out his eyes. He has red eyes. That is wild. But red eyes can be useful. Give me a cake of beer. On his chest, he has a fur lined collar and that goes all the way around the back. The shirt is brown, possibly leather. It's open here in the front, showing his bare chest. On mine, his skin is bright pink, probably due to discoloration. The shirt laces up here in the front with some black laces. He has some small shoulder pads there. Then he has this really ornate gold piping. This chest features some excellent sculpting and paintwork. Lots of paint application, lots of fine sculpting in that gold piping. I may not agree with the artistic decisions on this figure, but they spared no effort or expense. The arms feature brown and black sleeves, and the brown is a bit washed out on the front of my figure. You can see closer to the true color on the back. Those sleeves are short and he has braces on each hand and those braces have more of that ornate piping like on his chest. His waist features a belt and on the belt is a really interesting belt buckle that is gold, or I guess it could be bronze. It is a triangle and it looks like it might have an eye sculpted in it, but the detail is just too small for me to see clearly. His legs feature gray trousers, and on mine it looks a bit brown, but that's due to discoloration. If you flip it around to the backside you can see that is all gray. The front looks a bit brown due to yellowing. The right leg is plain and on the left leg we have a holster with a gold pistol. Excellent detail both on the holster and the pistol. We see many pistols on GI Joe figures, but this is one time when it seems out of place. It seems too modern for such an anachronistic design. The pistol is on the left leg. Sometimes this has no significance, but in Crystal Ball's case I do think it is intended to show he is left-handed. Left-handedness has unfairly been the source of stigma for centuries. Black magic is even sometimes called the left-handed path. Being left-handed adds to the sinister aura around crystal ball. With apologies to all left-hand dominant people, such stereotypes are unfair and untrue.  Let's take a look at Crystal Ball's file card. It has his faction as Cobra. It has a portrait of Crystal Ball here, and it is as wild and funky as the figure itself. You can clearly see his red eyes there, and he looks like he's up to no good. His codename is Crystal Ball, and he is the Cobra hypnotist. There is no file name on here or anything like that. It just jumps right into his story. This top paragraph says, Born of a Romanian father who supposedly had second sight, and an American mother from Bangor, Maine, Crystal Ball actually was the seventh son of a seventh son, and such men the Gypsies of old believed were possessed of supernatural powers. Okay, a couple things here. I could not find a reference to Romanian as a nationality. It could mean Romanian, or a person from the country of Romania, or it's a reference to the Romani people, which are sometimes called Gypsies. I assume the latter.   In parts of Europe, a person with this lineage has special powers. In parts of Latin America, the seventh son of a seventh son was believed to become a werewolf. Reading on it says, that may or may not be true, but Crystal Ball can sometimes read minds, making him a unique addition to the Cobra forces, especially as an interrogator of captured Joes. Cobra doesn't use torture to interrogate their prisoners. When Crystal Ball is having one of his good days, they simply don't need to. This bottom paragraph has a quote. It says, when Crystal, not Crystal Ball, it says when Crystal is around, you don't have to just watch what you're saying, you have to watch what you're thinking. This file card badly overuses the underline for emphasis. So, Crystal Ball can read minds. Really. What says the congregation?  Right. Wait a minute. I'm the second son of a second son. Maybe I would have a little bit of the power. This is a comic book shop. The comic book was invented in 1976 by a stand-up comic named Edward Book. You can purchase them at your local comic book shop where they are sorted by size and flavor. I'll take these GI Joe comics, please. That'll be $12. Look into my eyes. Look into my eyes. Don't look around the eyes. Don't look around the eyes. Look into my eyes. Three, two, one, you're under. Now, you don't want to charge me $12 for these GI Joe comic books. There's a sale today. All GI Joe comic books are free. Oh, and your boss called. He said I can have anything in the store because I'm his favorite customer. And three, two, one, you're back in the room. Still be $12. Still not working. Looking at how Crystal Ball was used in GI Joe media, he showed up too late to appear in the GI Joe animated series. He did appear in TV commercials. Oddly, he was in the commercial for the Cobra Buzz boar. In the GI Joe comic book, he appeared in only one issue. In the second series, GI Joe's Special Missions, issue number 24. Notably, that issue was not written by Larry Hama. It was written by Herb Trimpe, the artist who drew most of the Special Missions comics. That was a bizarre issue. It starts with GI Joe's female agents dressed as dancing girls and high kicking at a baseball game. Crystal Ball hypnotizes Hawk and Falcon as part of a Cobra plot to kidnap the president. It is bad. It has fireflies throwing exploding hot dogs. Lady J kills one of Raptor's birds by forcing it into a propeller. The Joe's prevail by playing baseball with a smoke grenade. It's one of the worst GI Joe comics I've ever read. Looking at Crystal Ball overall, there was a lot of extra effort put into this figure. The sculpting is top notch, top to bottom. The Vincent Price likeness is excellent and the costume is well designed. The hypno shield is wacky. It reminds me of the Marvel Secret Wars figures. This may be the one figure I can't rate. There's a lot to like about it. Its biggest problem is it doesn't fit in GI Joe. He's similar to Raptor in that sense. I don't know why they thought GI Joe needed this guy, but he is less ridiculous than Raptor. Raptor was in a bird suit. Crystal Ball's weird, but he's not that weird. I could imagine a context in which Crystal Ball could be a cool character. He has an air of mysticism about him. Like Doctor Strange, he would fit in any of Vincent Price's horror movies. My first instinct is to put Crystal Ball in the bottom tier because of its strangeness and the poor fit within the GI Joe universe. But I can't. I'm gonna say he's middle tier. There's something about the figure that draws me in. I can't stop staring at it. I just realized the word I'm looking for is hypnotic. The Crystal Ball figure is hypnotic.


Let's look at some examples of computing anti-derivatives. Now anti-derivatives is reversing the derivative process. When we have a derivative problem, it's given us a function, we have to find its derivative. Anti-derivatives mean we are given the derivative, what's the function? And every derivative rule that we've learned in the past actually can be turned into an anti-derivative rule. One to start off with is with the power rule. We've learned with the power rule that if you take the derivative of a power function, we can find its derivative by bringing down the exponent as a coefficient and we can lower the exponent by one. So when we take like d dx of a power function x to the n, the idea is you can bring the exponent down and so you end up with n times x and then the exponent lowers by one as well. So you get n times x, n minus one there. That's the derivative of power function. Well, if we reverse this process, we would increase the exponent by one. So we wanna increase the exponent by one and then bring this thing back inside. That is we were multiplying by the exponent and we subtract one from the exponent and we reverse this process. We're gonna add one to the exponent like you see right here and then we divide by that new exponent n plus one. So this gives us what we might call the power rule but this is the power rule for anti-derivatives or we might call it the anti-power rule, right? It's like the nemesis to the power rule. It's the kryptonite for the power rule. Now the nice thing about anti-derivatives is because we're good at calculating derivatives, we can actually, if we ever wanna check our answer for an anti-derivative, we just take the derivative like we did earlier in this class here. So I claim that the anti-power rule says that the integral of x to the n will be x to the n plus one divided by n plus one plus a constant. And to check this, I'm just gonna take the derivative of what I think the anti-derivative is. So we take x to the n plus one over n plus one plus a constant or take the derivative. When we take the derivative of a constant that'll just vanish and then by the power rule, we're gonna bring the exponent down n plus one. Well, I guess actually let me go back a second. Constant multiples can be brought out of the derivative process. So we get x to the n plus one. We have to take its derivative. The one over n plus one we brought out. And so now by the power rule, we will bring down the power of n plus one and then the exponent gets lowered by one. So n plus one minus one. And as we simplify this, n plus one divided by n plus one just goes to one and plus one minus one just goes away as well. And we're left with just x to the n, which shows us this anti-power rule in fact gives us the correct anti-derivative. Let's look at some examples of this. So by the power rule, if we take the integral of t cubed, the anti-power rule says we'll increase the power by one. So three plus one there. And then we divide by that new power, three plus one. Don't forget your arbitrary constant there. You have to add a constant. And so if we simplify this thing, you get t the fourth over four plus a constant. This is our anti-derivative. Sometimes if you want, you can write it as a coefficient, one fourth t the fourth plus a constant. That's really just giving our function a manicure at that point. It doesn't change who it is on the inside. Exact same function. And if you're all concerned if this is the right anti-derivative, just take the derivative again. One fourth t the fourth plus a constant. Take the derivative. Well, you're going to get by the power rule four over four t cubed plus zero, which simplifies to be t cubed. We see we have the right anti-derivative. Well, how about the next one? Well, much like we did when we first learned about derivatives in order to apply the power rule, we have to view this as a power function. So if we take the integral of t to the negative two, that's a power function. One over t squared is just t to the negative two. Reciprocals mean negative powers. Now by the power rule for anti-derivatives, we're going to increase the exponent by one. So we add one to it and then we divide by this new exponent. And don't forget the plus c. Otherwise you'll probably get docked by your math professor there. If we increase the power by one, we get t to the negative one. This will sit above now negative one plus a constant. Let our function go to the day spa. We end up with negative one over t plus an arbitrary constant. And this is our anti-derivative. You can take the derivative of that again to see that this was the correct anti-derivative. As another option here, another example, take the square root of u here as our integrand. First recognizing as a power function, we can write this as the one half power. Take the integral with respect to u here. So by the anti-power rule, we'll increase the exponent by one and then divide by that new exponent. Don't forget your constant here. And so this is the hardest part of the whole lecture. Oh no, what are we going to do with a fraction? Well, one's the same over as two over two. So we're going to take one half plus two halves here, which gives us three halves. And then we're dividing by three halves at a constant. Now, whenever you divide by a fraction, remember you're just multiplying by the reciprocal. And so you end up with two thirds u to the three halves and don't forget that constant. We'll see later in this lecture why we care about the plus c so much, but it is because we don't know what that constant is. We have to include it because it could be anything, honestly. We'll talk about this in another part of this lecture, not in this video though. Now, for this last example right here, it's like, okay, let's take the anti-derivative of there's no function. Where's the function? Well, we saw this same situation when we dealt with derivatives. There is a function. It's just the function is one. You don't see it there because multiplication by one is implied. And okay, what do you do with one? It's a constant. Well, this is still a power function because one is just x to the zero dx. And so by the power rule, you're going to increase the power by one, which gives you one and then you divide by one. So we end up with just x to the first over one plus a c. Make it look like a one so you don't accidentally take the derivative again. And so the function you're looking for here is x plus c. All right? And you can double check again that the derivative of x plus c is just one. So this is in fact the correct anti-derivative. Now, there's one thing I almost forgot to mention. When it comes to the anti-power rule, you can apply this for any power function except, except when n is equal to negative one. The power rule doesn't apply there because if you try to do it, if you have x to the negative one dx like so, well, the power rule would say, okay, I'm going to take negative one plus one and divide by negative one plus one plus a constant. This gives you x to the zero over zero plus a constant. And uh-oh, uh-oh, we divided by zero right here. This of course represents death. You don't want that to happen, right? So this is our skull and crossbones here. Oh boy, it's bad. We don't want to divide by zero. But actually when it comes to negative one, we have to handle this thing a little bit differently. If you want to take the integral of one over x dx, well, let me back up for a little bit. If you want to take the integral of x and negative one dx, I actually recommend we think of it as the function one over x dx instead. The reciprocal, because then we have to find a function whose derivative is one over x. And we actually know that function, it's the natural log of x plus a constant. And that's almost correct, right? The issue here is that the domain of one over x is all numbers except for zero. The domain of the natural log is only positive numbers. And as a function's derivative never has a bigger domain than the original function, we actually have to make a quite a simple modification here. The anti-derivative of one over x, x and negative one power, this is gonna be the natural log of the absolute value of x plus a constant. The absolute value allows that the domain of both of these functions is gonna be everything except for zero, all right? And so when you can use this power function for any anti-derivative power functions, this power rule, except for when you have the function one over x, use the natural log instead.


My name is David Cookson. I'm based in Hydroconstruccal's Singapore office. I've been in Asia Pacific for the last six years and prior to that was in Europe for 12. I'm a full-time member of the global CFO practice and board practice and I am co-lead for our global banking practice. The role has undoubtedly become much more complex in nature. Since the pandemic, we've had so much change and transformation across banking, insurance and to large extent wealth management in Asia Pacific. That undoubtedly the CFO's breadth, the responsibilities, the stakeholders they've had to deal with, whether that be boards, regulators, investors, all have become front and centre. You add in ESG, which has been a huge focus for the industry. You add in more recently the sudden adoption or indeed opportunity for many of AI and the CFO's of all banks insurers, asset managers and across financial institutions need to have a view on these topics. The investors expect it and the board expect it and fundamentally if the CFO is going to be a co-pilot to the CEO, which is what most modern days CFOs are and aspire to be, then I think you need to have an understanding of all of these themes. Well globally we've seen a lot of disruption in the banking industry in particular, both in the US and Europe and that will increase the pressure on CFOs and indeed boards from regulators around the world. So governance and regulation undoubtedly will be here to stay and remain as part of a key priority. But given the changes we've seen in technology, in digital transformation, the prominence of AI, which of course is a very hot topic at the moment, CFOs will have to have a view on this and will have to help the organisation both embrace these opportunities as well as mitigate the risks. So we have to remember that the CFO is fundamentally still the guardian of the finances, the chairman, the chair of the audit committee and the board rely on the CFO to keep the business safe. All CFOs must remember that as their first priority. The second leadership attribute is undoubtedly intellectual curiosity. Boards, CEOs want their CFOs to go that extra layer deeper to understand what's going into the organisation, knowing when to drill down into something that they don't understand, asking the difficult questions, ensuring that they are in command of the detail at times, but knowing when to delegate and when to step back and when to give their teams greater support when needed. For anyone aspiring to be a CFO, I would recommend they involve themselves in subsidiary boards or main boards as early as possible. That exposure of navigating that stakeholder group, the earlier they can learn, gain insights from that board, help influence those types of individuals the better. Secondly, for any deputy CFOs or individuals in other areas of financial services that want to become a CFO, I would ask the basic question, how are they preparing themselves for that? Are they networking with other group CFOs? Are they talking to big forward partners about what it means to be a CFO? Have they made sure that if they're not from a technical background, they at least know the basics?


Kind of the curtain raiser for the WTA and the the WTA is clay court season European season big names are playing big names Pulled out though, so let's start with the withdrawal list So plays that are withdrawn from the Stuttgart open as a rancor is pulled out So as Collins credit your cove is pulled out We haven't seen her for a long time She's gonna be able to play at the French open in a few months time for a couple weeks time of keeping on her Oster Penko's also out heavily a check of his out She's been out with a knee problem for a long time and Svetlana is out as well So big names that are not playing in this event all of those either top 10 or former top 10 players All right top of the draw. We've got eight seeds in this one. She'll be on tech the number one in the world She is back. She's gonna continue the streak Hopefully for her I guess continue to the streak she gets by in the first round She'll take on either gobbit or a qualifier in the second round Then we've got Paulini versus Georgie winner of that match will take on either a qualifier With a number eight seed Rado Khannu who at the moment is playing the event now She is battling blisters and we've seen that over the last few weeks She is battling blisters yesterday in the Billie Jean King Cup match So let's see and hopefully I mean look Rado Khanna versus Fjontek quarter-final who the hell thought that was even going to Happen one day. I mean that's crazy, but they both obviously have to win Rado Khanna, I don't know. I'm skeptical that Rado Khanna is actually gonna play But hopefully she does and hopefully we get that matchup in that quarter-final second corner of the draw And we've got Zachary the number four seed in the first In the second round she gets a buy in the first round She is gonna play in the Sigmund or Zed and Shek in the second Then you got Samsonova versus a qualifier Winner of that match will take on either Kvitova or the number six seed Plushka that is a fire first-round matchup Kvitova versus Plushka that is crazy in the first round and of course this section of the draw will play Shveontek in the semis or her section in the semis So Zachary versus Shveontek could be a matchup that we see and I'll tell you what that would be an absolute epic matchup If that does happen bottom half of the draw now and things are starting to get a little bit more interesting We've got Kontavate taking on Kerber Kontavate the number five seed. That's a really fun matchup there Then you've got the winner of that match will take on either Zheng or Alexandrova in the second round Then you've got Naimea the wild card taking on Drescu good to see her back Winner of that match will take on the number three seed Sabalenka on Drescu versus Sabalenka second round That's a real interesting match considering both those ladies are not in great form If on Drescu can win her first round and place Sabalenka in the second that is a must-watch match Fire bottom quarter of the draw now We've got Vondrusova taking on the number seven seed Jabor what a matchup What a great match in the first round winner that match will take on either golf or Kazakina in the second round Then we've got Rabakina versus qualifier. Winner will take on Bedossa in the second bottom half the draw is absolutely stacked You know, you've got to watch out for obviously Bedossa and Jabor Vondrusova and Rabakina are very dangerous on clay and golf I mean the last quarter of the draw here is massively stacked Definitely bottom half the draw is the hardest part of the draw But man, I remember this section of the draw will take on the Sabalenka section, but we all know Sabalenka is not in good form So who is gonna win this tournament? I mean it's English for context to lose, right? But maybe Zachary Sabalenka got to the final here last year. Maybe she does something Bedossa, I mean she's in pretty good form this year. Let me know down in the comments below Who do you think is going to win in Stuttgart?


Family Theatre presents Stephen McNally and Billy Burke. Hollywood, the Mutual Network in Cooperation with Family Theatre, presents the fourth act starring Stephen McNally. And now, here is your hostess, Billy Burke. Thank you, Tony Lafranco. Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become as important part of our lives if we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world. Family Theatre urges you to pray, pray together as a family. And now, to our transcribed drama, the fourth act, starring Stephen McNally as Genesius. Year 300, the capital of the known world was Rome. Outwardly, it gave no sign of the decadence that would finally crumble its empire. It boasted an invincible army, a tradition of law and a flourishing culture. The emperor himself subsidized its theater. Never have I seen such a performance. I'm sorry, Genesius. You're sorry. That's not enough. You didn't even come till the play had begun. Then you'd do your part in a drunken stupor, and you say you're sorry. What else can I say? I hope I never have to see another performance like that one. It won't happen again. I'll see to that. No, I'll see to it. May I go now? You'd better go before I forget myself. I... I really am sorry, Genesius.  You gave her quite a time. Well, she earned it. Let me see now. I'd better take home some of these plays and study them. There's got to be one here that doesn't put the audience to sleep. You know why she did it? Did what? Oh, you mean why she came in here drunk? No. They arrested her husband today. Her husband? Why? Found out he was a Christian. Oh, I... If I'd known that, I... I wonder if I could catch up with her. I doubt it. She'll probably be better off without him anyway. Why do you say that? A Christian. Must be something wrong with him. Well, maybe so. All the same, I wish I hadn't given her the tongue-lashing I did. I was just looking for someone to blame, I suppose. The play, you mean? The plays that we have to act a trash. They're so bad it makes me ashamed to be an actor. You mark my words. One day Diocletian will come and see how we spend his money. And then? Then we will play one farewell performance, you and I, to the lions in the Colosseum. I've heard there's no room in the prisons for common criminals. Oh? They are filled to overflowing with these Christians. Are you nearly finished? Nearly. I don't see why you don't take all the scrolls with you. No, just the ones I want to study. I think this does it. I'll carry some. Thank you. You, uh, go to the games, collectus? Only because it's expected of me, and my wife likes them. Why don't you join us the next time? Oh, no, no. You should, you know. A public figure like the great Genesius should be seen at the games. Christians are no. I have no wish to see citizens of Rome come to such an end. It, it's usually lions, isn't it? Usually. They've tried matching them against each other, and that was a complete failure. Then putting them up against armed gladiators. But the fighters didn't like killing when the opponent doesn't fight back. So now it's usually wild beasts or burnies. There was a time when it would have been unthinkable to visit such a punishment in the citizen of Rome. But these people, by their very beliefs, make themselves unworthy of being Romans. Did you know they worship goats and fish? I've heard rumors to that effect. Their very existence is a threat to our state religion. There would certainly be plenty of room and paganism for another guard, but they insist that their guard is the only one. Well, I suppose you're right about the Christians, Colustus. You suppose I'm right? They're a threat to Rome itself. To my mind, there is no greater threat to Rome than Diocletian. He and his reforms. Dividing the empire. It could be the ruin nation of everything we... Mind your tongue. You say this to me. I'm the chief at this theater. I... I'm aware of that. I was speaking as a friend. After all, Genesius, we have been friends for a long time. I would hate to lose you now because of some chance remark, which some passerby might sound like treason. You might do well to remember. You are not a politician, but an actor. And as such, have nothing to gain from having a political opinion. On the other hand, much might be lost if you... Hold there. You too. A soldier at the top of the stairs. Victorian Guard. He must have heard. No, I don't think so. Did you call? Come up here. He heard your... Is there something you wanted of us? I am looking for the actor known as Genesius. Don't you recognize him? This is the great Genesius. Is this true? It is true. What business do you have with me? You are to accompany me. For what reason? Or is a citizen still allowed to ask? Of course. He will accompany me because it is the will of the emperor. What does the emperor want of me? Perhaps you'd better take that up with him. You mean you're taking me to Diacletian? To the emperor himself? Does it worry you, citizen? A little, yes. If it's any comfort to you, a man of my rank is seldom sent to make arrests. My orders state that I merely to see you into his presence. In that case, lead on, Centurion. You appear somewhat ill at ease, Genesius. I've never been in such an august presence before, my emperor. Then you must look to Cletus here.  Not even a general, always at ease. But then he has had long practice, haven't you, Cletus? I have, Your Imperial Highness. One of my most trusted aides. But then we've always trusted the military. Enough of that. Actor, we need your talents. My talents, my emperor? But you already have them. You mean the plays you do in the state theater? Of course, it's been a long time. But we seem to remember having seen one of those presentations. Which one, Your Imperial Highness? That is beside the point. I mention it only because we have heard reports that the arts seem to be failing Rome. Oh, well, if I may assure you... One moment. One moment. We did not mean to cast any aspersions on the abilities of the players, rather at the plays themselves. We have heard they leave something to be desired in the way of entertainment. Is this true? Very true, Your Highness. Good. Good? We have a solution. You, actor Genesius, shall write a play. I, Your Highness? But I... I am no Seneca. You have eyes. You will have our support. And we have heard that you are not without humor. You want me to write a comedy, Your Highness? A very funny comedy, Genesius. Tell us, what thoughts do you entertain about the Christians? About the... The Christians? Oh, come, come. Surely you have some thoughts on the subject? Your Highness, I feel that a Rome under Diocletian has little to fear from them. Actor, be wise enough to avoid flattering me when I am looking for straight answers. Yes, Your Highness. Well, then? Well, I have heard that the Christians present a very real threat to the state origin. A very real threat. They scorn the household gods, even Jupiter himself. They refuse to admit the divinity of the emperor. They refuse to go to the games like other citizens. We've changed that for them, haven't we, Cleetus? Indeed so, Your Highness. They go to the games now, but not as free citizens of Rome. Now they go as meat for the lions. Genesius, these Christians are the greatest threat this empire has ever known. They must be destroyed utterly. We must fight what they represent until even the memory of it is gone. And you must help us do it. But what can I do? A play. You will write a play. And this time the law will be enforced. Every Roman citizen will see it. If you have to have a thousand performances, you will write a comedy about the Christians. You will paint them as fools as anything you like, so long as they are laughable. As you say, Your Highness. We have killed them by the thousands, Genesius. We have burned whole villages, threatened them with worse, but nothing works. Each week there are more than there were the week before. I think we have found the answer now.   I think so, Your Highness. But, well, I know so little about them. So little? Your Highness, I could take him to the prisons. Let him meet some of them, talk to them. A thought, Cleetus, a thought. What do you think of it? I believe the idea is sound, Your Highness. Good. Then you will begin in the morning. The interview has ended. These are your quarters? They are. I would think it belonged to a senator, at least. The state is not unkind to its artists. So tomorrow we go to the prisons, to the cells at the arena. That's where they keep most of the priests and the people from influential families. From influential families? Are there many? More than you might think. That's why they're kept at the arena. The emperor hopes that the sight of others dying might make those of influence change their minds. Do they? Some have. Not many. There must be more to this Christianity than meets the eye. There is. You'll find out during the coming days. Well, good night. Wait. Yes? Earlier when you came to conduct me to the emperor. You mean when you were talking to your friend on the stair? Then you did here. I knew when you made the excuse for me before diacletian. Tell me, why didn't you tell him what I said? My reason for that is private. Well, whatever it is. Thank you. Don't thank me, either. The reason was also selfish. I'll probably tell you about it sometime. Until tomorrow, actor. Until tomorrow. Oh, one other thing. Yes? From now on it might be wise if you follow the advice your friend gave you. About political opinions? No. About minding your tongue. What do you know about them? Nothing. All next to nothing. I've heard that they worship goats. Yes, I know that you've heard that. And I've heard that they sing on their way into the arena. That happened only once in my memory. Sometimes they cry. Sometimes they scream. But they go. And the speaking of a single word would set them free. It is a most uncommon bravery they have. Here, down these steps. But why? What can this religion be to be great enough to give up everything for? To face these lions for? You'll have to ask them. And after you've heard the answer, maybe you'll understand. If you have the gift these people call faith. I heard that all the cells of the arena were filled to other flowing. Yet this one is almost empty. A girl and an old man. These people the emperor considers dangerous. Well, they haven't noticed us yet. Tell them. Tell me about them. I'll let them tell you about themselves. You have a visitor. Cletus, I thought I was. I have a friend of the emperor with me. Oh? Bring him in. By all means. Bring him in. Go on, Genesis. You two know each other? Your dealings are with the old man. He'll answer your questions. Of course. His beard makes it difficult, but I have the feeling I've seen this man before. You have seen him many times before. He was one of Rome's greatest generals. Procless Gaius? Can this be? It can, and it is. May I present my daughter, Claudia? We are honored, Claudia. Our visitor is none other than the great Genesius. Of the theater. I'm flattered that you should recognize me, General. But this must be some mistake, Cletus. Surely this man is no Christian? Oh, but I am. Perhaps now you can see why the emperor considers him dangerous. Never were generally known that the esteemed Procless is a Christian. You might imagine the effect, especially upon the military. Indeed I can. I don't mean to seem inhospitable, but I am curious as to the nature of this visit. Well, I would learn something about this religion of yours. The emperor sends you potential converts, Father? It does seem a little strange, but then perhaps Cletus has an answer. Sir, the emperor ordered me to let him talk to some of the condemned. I brought him to you because I thought you could give him a true picture. Iocletian has ordered him to write a play. A play? The kind of a play Judas might have written. Ah, I see. Well, Genesius, what would you like to know about Christianity? You will answer my questions then? Of course. All right. First, who was this Judas? He knows the right questions. You underestimated this man, Cletus. Genesius, Judas was a betrayer. He it was who betrayed our master, Jesus Christ. The man who sold him to be crucified. My next question. Is Cletus one of you? I am. Ah, then now I know why you did not report my indiscretion to the emperor. Now if I report you, you can report me in effective countermeasure. I am a soldier and a soldier must have weapons. Do you intend to use this weapon to keep me from doing what the emperor has ordered me to do? Cletus is in a valuable position. He has been able to warn many who would otherwise be dead. He would be a fool to jeopardize that position. Now, you have other questions, Genesius? General, I don't know enough about Christianity to ask questions. I've heard that you worship fish and goats. You worship fish and goats? That's what I've heard.  I will tell you the whole story, but it might be wise to start by correcting your misconceptions. Sit down, Genesius. I'm sorry I can't offer you a more comfortable seat than the straw-covered floor. Oh, that's all right. Now, about the fish. Merely a sign or a token we used to use to identify each other. Persecutions such as this are not new to us, you know. You say used to use. Now we use the cross. The cross? But a cross brings to mind, well, crucifixion. Jesus died on a cross. Now, about the goat. You, uh, you said a goat. And that's what I heard, General. That could be a distortion of fact by our enemies. You see, Jesus, the Son of God, came to us to die, to sacrifice himself so that we might gain eternal life. A lamb is symbolic of sacrifice, so sometimes we refer to Jesus as he referred to himself on a number of occasions as the lamb of God. Now you say this, this Jesus was the Son of God. He is. The Emperor claims to be divine.  Then why do you believe one and not the other when they both make the same claim? There are a number of reasons I could give you fifty. Give me one. Jesus Christ said he was the only Son of God. He worked hundreds of miracles. He couldn't have worked them unless he was who he claimed he was. He said he would rise from the dead. And three days after his crucifixion he did. He what? Perhaps I had better start from the beginning if you have enough time to listen. I have the time and I have an order to listen. Fine, fine. Well, the story actually begins before the creation of the world. You see, Genesius, in the beginning there was God. Well, actor, how are things progressing? Quite well, Your Highness. I am making progress. We have it from Cletus that you spent all day, every day last week, talking to prisoners at the Colosseum. That's true, Your Highness. Trying to get the history of this cult. I am going again today. Today? It takes a great deal of information, Your Imperial Highness, to fill five acts. Get your information then, Genesius. But your play must be ready one month from today. One month, Your Highness? One month. And to Genesius, it had better be very funny. Cletus, wait. I've been looking for you. I didn't think you'd need me today. Of course, I can't afford a dawdle now. Diocletian's given me only one month, no more. You know, I've been writing everything down. Have you? I do it at night after I get home. As much as I can remember of what Proclus tells me. And you know something? I think perhaps I can write a play which will do your religion as much good as it does, huh? With Proclus' help, I'm sure I can do it. Let's go. I'd like to talk it over with him. To the arena? Today? Why not? Haven't we been going to the arena all week? Yes, Genesius, but this is the day of the games. The day of the games? Proclus can give you no more help. Oh, I... I'll arrange for another instructor for you. Perhaps tomorrow. Now pray, Genesius, that when your month is up, you'll be ready. Any sign yet? Any sign? None that I can see. Genesius, I have never seen such an audience. The guard will come in first. The men will take their stations. Then the emperor. There are no guards, not yet. It's past the hour. Wait, what's that? Where? There. The petroleum guard is coming in. Oh, yes. In a few moments, Diocletian will follow. Come, I have some last-minute changes to make. Changes? Are you mad? Come, come. I've forgotten everything. Everything. The room itself is up there. Quiet. Quiet, please. You have all learned to play in five acts. You have done this in a remarkable time. And for this, I am grateful. I am going to say something now, and I want no arguments. In fact, I do not even want to hear any comments about it, because there isn't any time. You will do only three of those acts. The final two have been so revised, that I must do them myself. That's all I have to say. You may get back to your preparations. Genesius! Oh, Cleetus, I didn't expect to see you. Come with me quickly. What's the matter? Come. I don't want to be overheard. What is it? You have an ambitious man in your company, a man named Calextus. Oh, yes. He was with me that night six weeks ago, and you first took me to the emperor. Why? What have you planned for the last two acts of your play? Nothing that would harm what you believe in, Cleetus. What I believe in? All right. What we believe in. Why do you ask? The man Calextus claims to have a copy of what you intend to say in your last two acts. He says he has it in your own hand, and it's a business. How do you know this? He came to see the emperor. I'm having him detained, but I don't know how long I can keep him detained. Oh, I see. I am a centurion in the guard, but I don't command it. What are you going to do? There is only one thing left for me to do. We'll begin now. Genesius is in here. Tipper. Yes, Genesius.  I'm sorry. I ask your forgiveness. You... You have it, Genesius. Thank you. I know they killed him because he was a Christian. If you are a Christian too... If I... If you are a Christian too, pray for me. Goodbye, Tipper. What a strange thing to say. Not really strange. He's going out under the stage alone. He knows he's going to do. I know what he's going to do. What? The Fourth Act. People of Rome! People of Rome! And Emperor of Rome! Many of you know me. For those who don't, my name is Genesius and I'm an actor. You have been ordered here for your own good. I know this to be true. For some weeks ago, our gracious emperor, Diocletian, asked me to write a play that you might know the truth about the Christians. And he sent me out to study them so that I might know the truth. This is the result of my findings. These Christians are a peculiar lot. If you ask them, they will tell you that the state religion of Rome is false and that there is only one God. That his son came to earth, founded their religion, that he gave his life so that each man, woman and child in this world might have a share in eternal life. Further, these Christians will tell you that this son of God, who was himself God, said that he would rise again on the third day, that he was crucified and did rise again on the third day. Now some of our greatest men have listened to these sayings and have believed them. The trusted and beloved General Proclus, Marcus Antonius, former Senators Marcellus, Cassius and 20 others whose names are known to you. They believed these followers of Jesus and I'll tell you why. I can tell you better than they, for I am still alive. They believed because it was the truth. The things that Jesus taught are true. On the stage before the audience, Genesius, the actor by order of the Emperor Diocletian, was beheaded for his faith and thus stamped from his stage before the people of Rome into eternal life and the presence of God. This is Billy Burke again. We of the theatre are extremely proud of our Genesius and of other figures like him, not all of whom indeed suffered martyrdom for their beliefs, as he did but who have through the ages lived up to the splendid traditions of noble aspirations, of generosity and in many more cases than the public may be aware of, of tender and devoted family life. Genesius was a hero and our inspiration in our own more humble and much smaller way. We are privileged to follow in his footsteps. Genesius, the careless man, vain perhaps at first, yet who rose grandly to the occasion and played his part to the end. Genesius, the man of prayer, without which he would never have had the courage or the grace to defy imperial custom and unjust law to his death. And so Family Theatre tonight reiterates its message that prayer is the mighty solvent, the true communication medium between God and man, and that the family that prays together stays together.

Hey everybody, my name is Dutch, I moved with Mr. Presslaad into surgery here, I'm talking about, I noted his great energy and how great it is to see people who appreciate it and understand it. I think a lot of people run from great energy, so glad to have, be part of it right here. I appreciate that. Thanks so much brother. Mr. Presslaad.


So you trained your data, but you have no idea how to use that training to generate new images. Not a problem. After your training, you'll see a bunch of safe tensor files in the output. These represent the beginning, middle and end of your training sessions. Copy them and go to your stable diffusion folder, web UI, models, Laura, paste it in and now we're going to download some more stuff because when we generate stuff, it's important that we make our AI model as close as possible to the exact style that we want before we add our training to it. I am specifically going for a very vibrant colorful anime style. So there are a few things that I'm going to want to download to make sure that my workflow is simpler, faster and easier. We'll start by downloading forge UI, download it from the link in the description, go to where your Koya and stable diffusion folders are and add a new one called forge drag your forge zip inside and extract its contents. Now you were going to want to copy the model from your old stable diffusion UI to the new forge UI in your new SD web UI folder, go to models, copy the folder, go to forge UI, web UI, forge web UI and paste the models folder to replace the one here. From this point, you can run forage the exact same you normally would run stable diffusion. Just click on the run executable. Now I'm going to go ahead and download model ex since I think that one is going to help us a little better than what we're using right now. Once it's downloaded, go to forge, forge web UI, web UI models, stable diffusion, paste it in. And now when we run forage and click refresh, you should be able to click model ex right here. And last, we're going to want to control the negative embedding because a lot of people forget that if you are not specific, you will not get anything specific.  This is what negative embedding does. People who have been working really hard on this have already basically figured out a big list of words that we usually don't want popping up in our designs and they have organized them into a nice neat embedded file that you can find. Link in the description. Once you've got it, go into your forge UI, forge web UI, web UI, embeddings, paste it in. And now you are technically ready to generate your stuff. It's always good to test things before the Laura training and after. So we'll just ask it for a rough estimate of what the character looks like, which is our keyword, woman, long hair, ponytail, shorts, orange hair, and something simple and fun, like playing on the beach. Now if we want to add our negative embeddings, we have to go to textural inversion, refresh, we should see it here. And if we click this, now we can dump them right into the negative prompt here. If we generate now we can see what the AI would normally give us without our training. All right, looks pretty good. This is a good base for us to build whatever we need on specifically an anime style. So now let's see what it looks like when we add the training that we just finished in the last video with our custom character. We can do this by going to Laura, refresh, pick the training models from the last session. And to get a good comparison, we'll recycle this exact seed. All right, look at that. That is definitely my character. And the cool thing is because the AI saved multiple versions of the training, we can actually see how the result would differ if we used less trained versions of the model. So this is the last training session. So let's see what it looks like when we input the first training session. And as you can see, the features from my character are a little bit less defined because the Laura we're using is a much earlier training. And sometimes that's a good thing, because sometimes the final session is a little over trained, and it's not flexible enough to use for general things. For example, like if you over train it, it might be difficult to get her to wear different clothes. So we can easily just go back and use a less trained model from an earlier training session, if we think it's going to give us the results we want. Now something cool that we can do is we can actually adjust the weight of the training in the prompt. Here, you can see this number one, which means the training has a weight application of 100%. But if we change this to 0.5, this means that the strength of the training will only be applied at half the strength. So the features of my character will be a little bit less defined, allowing the AI to diverge from the original to create some new designs. So now that you've seen this process in action, I think you're probably starting to get an idea for how this actually works. Training an AI to get your work consistently is not really a one step kind of process. With the good data set and good tags, you can probably get 80% of the way there pretty fast. But ideally what you would do from this point, in order to get a much higher level of consistency is when you find generated images that are really close or exactly like what you want, you add them to the data set, and then you use those to retrain the data, which will hopefully give you even more images that are closer to what you want and then get the best images you get there and retrain it again. That's how you're going to get the best results. But if you just want to be general and have fun with it, I mean, you can see the kind of results we can get from just doing one training session. Essentially, what you are trying to do is guide the AI so that it understands what you want to generate when you ask for a certain style on your specific character with that character's specific features. And we do this by leveraging the things that are already inside the AI's default tendencies. That is why it's hard to find tutorials on this kind of stuff because the process and the tools that you are going to want to use and download will be very different depending on what style that you're trying to go for. We were specifically aiming for anime style, but if you're aiming for a different genre with different dimensions with different lighting or more realistic or more cartoony, then all of that affects the type of models that you would want to use instead the type of negative embeddings and the type of base model that you might want to start out with, which means that in order to get the most out of your art, then it really helps to understand the fundamentals of classical art, the names of the different styles, the different techniques, the different genres, the different types of lighting, different art philosophies, photography terms, camera angles, portrait landscape, and all the traditional art jargon, which is why if you are a programmer or an accountant or a doctor or a lawyer or really anyone who's not familiar with the art jargon that professional use, then I got you covered and I have a gift for you.

For those of you not aware already, Aiden Ross is a live streamer who built his audience off the back of streaming video games like NBA 2K and Grand Theft Auto. Initially heavily involved with Twitch, Aiden would transition to kick in early 2023 after being banned from the former platform numerous times. Born in Boca Raton, Florida, Aiden has lived all over America throughout his still young life, growing up in New York City before settling into three rivers California for his teenage years. While attending Woodlake Union High School, Aiden nurtured his passion for streaming, even going so far as to skip his high school prom so that he could continue gaming. After establishing his audience with the help of the NBA 2K, Aiden began hosting e-dating streams on Discord and in early 2021 he moved out of his family home and into a content house alongside the likes of Phase Banks, Summer Ray, Mike Malak, Half-Cuberman and Ricegum. There, his relationship with fellow influencer Karina Koff would continue to increase his popularity, especially whenever these two happened to hop into a hot tub together. Unfortunately for Aiden, this relationship would ultimately prove to be the reason that he moved out of the LA Cloud House as well. It wasn't anything Karina did instead it had everything to do with a man Aiden once considered a friend. His colleague Ricegum. In late 2021, Ricegum reignited a beef he had with British internet sensation KSI, mocking the Brit's girlfriend and career. Rather than join in and criticize KSI, Aiden remained neutral on the subject, something that seemed to bother Ricegum. After, Ricegum would accuse his friend of defending KSI and things only escalated from there. Resorting to some truly trollish behavior, Ricegum began DMing Karina on the down low, but eventually, Aiden found out and he was not happy about it. Thus, Aiden was so upset that he moved out of the LA Cloud House altogether, and who could blame him? The question became then, where would Aiden move next? During all of this controversy, he contemplated moving back to Florida but eventually settled on moving somewhere in the city of Los Angeles.  In late 2022, Aiden Ross spent $5 million to purchase a home in Central LA. Formerly owned by the likes of Charlie D'Amelio and NBA star Kelly Ubre Jr., this home featured the exact kind of celebrity pedigree Aiden was searching for. An impressive combination of modern lines and easy California sensibilities, this party pad is a sweet place. We'll sing a ton of privacy backed up against a massive hill. As you might expect, the indoor outdoor lifestyle is in full effect for this 5,500 square foot property. It's situated on just under half an acre of land, thanks to a series of enormous automated glass panels slight open to night the main living spaces with the outdoor area. Tucked behind gates in the exclusive area of LA known as Lower Nicholas Canyon, Aiden's home was originally built in 2019 and has barely been lived in by the people who have owned it since.  Not far away, a gigantic great room boasts a living room adorned with a built-in fireplace and wet bar, which is the area Aiden most frequently streams from.  Elsewhere on the lower level is a guest's bedroom with an en suite bathroom that currently serves as Aiden's home office. Upstairs is where the rest of the bedrooms are located, all of which come complete with attached washrooms of their own. The most notable of these rooms is of course the sun-drenched master suite, which boasts a seating area, fireplace, walk-in closet, a dressing room that rivals clothing stores and not one, but two balconies overlook the outdoor living area. There's also a luxurious marble bathroom to accompany the space with dual vanities, one extra large rainfall shower and a freestanding soaking tub. As for the home's resort-like backyard, it features a saltwater pool and spa combo flanked by an eye-catching waterfall. There's even a full bathroom out here just in case nature calls while you're in the middle of a view lapse. Nearby, there's a sprawling patio that's perfect for alfresco dining thanks in no small part to its fireside conversation area and outdoor kitchen set up with a built-in barbecue. A bonus is definitely the integrated smart home and speaker systems throughout, as well as three-car garage and motor court with room for an additional six vehicles, including an electric charging station. Well, I can't imagine a more luxurious place to stream from and I'm sure Aiden felt the same way until things began to go horribly wrong. Why did Aiden leave such a beautiful spot? Well, it all comes down to swatting. Every job has its occupational hazards, even streaming, and I'm not talking about thumb ballisters from gaming or sore throats from talking too much either. I'm referring to the potentially dangerous trend of swatting. Swatting is what happens when you take a good-nasured prank and turn the volume up to 11. It involves reporting a fake emergency, usually to the police, then results in a swat team being sent to the address in question. All in attempt to simply disrupt the person who's streaming. Aiden's no stranger to this practice. In fact, he was once swatted twice in the span of a few months shortly after moving into his new home. The first happened in August 22, when police came storming into his streaming space, catching him completely unaware. Then three months later it happened again. This time Aiden was a little bit more upset over what happened. As a result of these multiple swatting attempts, the LAPD had to take steps to change how they responded to calls regarding Aiden's home. They resorted to a work ground involving contacting his security team to confirm if the call was real or bogus, before sending officers or choppers to the scene. A few months later, while Aiden was visiting Las Vegas, he'd have to cut his trip short too after learning someone was trying to break into his home. While Aiden never specifically addressed the rumors, he did have some words for people who believed he was capping, adamantly denying the accusation. After all these occurrences though, the damage had been done. Aiden decided to sell the home he had lived in for barely over a year and even accepted a small loss. According to TMZ, Aiden originally listed this home in March 2023 for $5.5 million dollars. Unfortunately, no one bit. So a few months later, he dropped the price tag down to $4.9 million dollars and found a buyer in July of that year. Well, for now, we don't know exactly where Aiden Ross is moving next, but we do know who he's planning on moving in with. And if the rumors are to be believed, it won't be low-key either. During a recent stream on Rumble, controversial streamer Sneeko revealed that Aiden has been reaching out to other influencers behind the scenes to set up a new content house. Well, we don't know who exactly he's planning on inviting, but according to Sneeko, it might include himself, Aiden, Neon, Cheezer, and maybe Foosie. Some of these guys seem pretty controversial, so who knows what would happen if that's true. Maybe Aiden didn't learn anything from his first go-around living in a content house because this combo of talent sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen. As for who Aiden himself thinks would be a good addition to this new collective, he's recently been seen recruiting Aisho Speed to move to Miami with him and taking real-life content to a whole other level. Where will Aiden settle down next? We'll just have to wait and see, but once we find out, we'll update you on everything there is to know about the place. In the meantime, thanks for watching, and before you leave, consider answering the following question. If you were a full-time influencer, would you rather live in a collective or on your own? Let me know what situation would lend itself to better content for you in the comments below. Otherwise, like, subscribe, and turn on your notifications to make sure you never miss an episode. My name is Kara, and if you'd like to check out another celebrity tour, then stay tuned because next, I'm about to take you inside YouTuber Salish Matter's homes. I'll see you next time. Bye. Meet the 13-year-old Salish Matter, a rising American Instagrammer, YouTuber, TikTok, or in social media sensation. She's famously recognized as the daughter of renowned author, photographer, and social media star, Jordan Matter. In 2020, Salish emerged on various social media platforms, quickly gaining popularity and building a substantial fan base. She made her debut on her father's Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube accounts. Additionally, she launched her own Instagram account under the handle, Stay Stay Matter, which now boasts over 1.4 million followers. Before her rapid rise to fame, Salish Matter began her frequent appearances on social media in 2020. In addition to her social media endeavors, Salish is a skilled gymnast. Salish has formed collaborations with popular content creators like Nadal Wonder, whom she affectionately refers to as her bestie. Family plays a significant role in Salish Matter's life. Her older brother, Hudson Matter, is not only a photographer, but also a social media star. Adding to their family dynamics, they have a delightful dog named Boomer, who often makes appearances across Salish's social media channels. In 2023, Salish Matter's net worth is estimated at $3 million, a testament to her growing influence and entrepreneurial ventures at such a young age. While she's recognized by her father's legacy, Salish is carving her own path in the digital world, promising to leave her own mark. Recently, the Matters have embarked on a house challenge to find their new home. They visited several houses in different locations, but they ultimately chose a house located in the LA suburbs as their new home. This house captured their hearts due to its suburban charm and various appealing features, making it the ideal choice for their family. In this video, Salish and her family invite fans to explore their new home. While it's still a work in progress, let's dive into the unique features and amenities that define this house. Salish introduces their house tour with an unexpected feature, an elevator installed for convenience. It's a lifeline for elderly family members who prefer it over stairs. This living area reveals a familiar couch from their previous home, filled with cherished memories. Now, moving on to the kitchen. They show us their fridge, their coffee maker, and practical cereal dispensers at streamlined busy mornings. Now, this kitchen is where the culinary magic happens. This organized pantry sparks playful arguments and the family shares a humorous moment concerning Jordan's DIY haircut. We gotta admit, this pantry is a point of pride. Just look at that organization. Salish and Jordan have a ton of laughs as they take us back to the living room where Se is already claimed her territory. Here, adding to the features of the living room is a record, an array of books and family pictures, and a huge frame TV. Now, to the backyard. Se, Se, and Jordan showcase various elements of their outdoor space. They have a bench for additional seating, a warm fireplace for chilly evenings, an outdoor ping-pong table perfect for friendly matches and family fun. Then, a sunken trampoline even adds an element of adventure to their backyard, which seems to be Se, Se's favorite feature. The tour in the backyard concludes by featuring a lovely swinging chair, which is a perfect spot for relaxation and offers a beautiful view.  However, since the latter still lacks furnishings, they both speculate that it might eventually become mom's office. Let's head to dad's office now. Completely detached to the house itself, this spot is reserved for Jordan. A thoughtful housewarming gift from YouTuber Darman adds a personal touch and proudly on display is their diamond play button, a recognition for reaching 10 million subscribers on their channel. During this part of the tour, there's a conversation regarding their patio's purpose. Jordan proposes the idea of installing a fire pit in that space to create a warm ambiance for storytelling and heartfelt conversations. As they go up the stairs, a glimpse into Hudson's room reveals a peaceful vibe with a ton of natural light. But then, Salish adds an element of playful surprise attempting to enter her parents' bedroom, despite Jordan's earlier insistence that their room isn't prepared for viewing and even attempted to jump only to reveal a balcony. The tour takes an unexpected turn as Salish decides to showcase the laundry room before unveiling her own room. And now the grand finale. Cece excitedly announces her own room, but there's a twist. It's far from ready due to their recent move, leaving a devoid of the personal touch that she wants. However, she assures her viewers that a dedicated video on her dad's channel will showcase her room's transformation in the very near future. In conclusion, while this house isn't entirely ready for a traditional house tour, it's Salish and her family's unique dynamics and small details within these walls that truly make it feel like home.   Let me know in the comments if a handy elevator might make you lazy. I'm more of a stairs person myself. But don't forget to like and subscribe to our channel so you never miss a house tour. I'm Kerri the Vampire Slayer. Follow me on Instagram and I'll see you all in another video. Bye.


Hello everyone in this video. We're going to talk about the best gaming crypto. Okay, this is what I think could be one of the best ones There is a lot of good gaming crypto projects out there. I do believe but I do really like this one I like the collectability element of this crypto gaming platform I like how they organize it. I like how it's structured and we're gonna go through what I think is the best game of crypto or One of the best we'll say it's in that top sort of furry top five Game encryptors, okay Let's go into this and if you'd like me to cover more game Encryptor or if you'd like me to cover more content on this particular one that we're gonna go through today Then do comment down below and I'll be sure to cover this even further in the future If that's something that you'd like or you want me to look into any other game encryptors now The one that we're talking about today is axi infinity. Okay, so this is a gaming crypto and Mark Cuban has also of course tweeted Well, he's not tweeted but he's actually talked about this coin He's talked about it freely and he's said that there's got basically a lot of potential So it said it's really incredible. It's a unique opportunity and if it's done, right It can truly be game changing. So mark Cuban has talked about axi axi infinity He likes the project. He likes what it's doing, which is massive because it adds credibility to axi infinity and that gaming Projects that they're working on at the moment. So that's fantastic to see by the way before we go into some more information I've got to say I'm not a financial advisor. I'm a business teacher But I know means an expert on the stock market or crypters Okay, but with that being said, let's get into some further information and get right into it to respect your time Okay now going into this. What is axi infinity? So it's a digital Collectible card game based on crypters. Okay, it involves a card game Where you can play competitively against other players And then you can earn rewards by winning you can collect cards. You can collect what they call them is axes in terms of that and you can battle with these axes essentially and It is actually I've seen some of the gameplay on this and it actually looks really fun It looks really quite strategic. It's got an interesting art style Which is it's I like it. It kind of stands out now moving into this. What is it? So axi infinity is a Pokemon inspired universe where anyone can end tokens through skilled gameplay and Contributions to the ecosystem Players can battle collect raise and build a land-based kingdom for their pets All our assets and axi genetic data can be easily accessed By third parties allowing community developers to build their own tools and experiences in the axi infinity universe Although axi is still in early access axes ranks the number one ethereum game by daily weekly and monthly active users Okay, so this is the number one by actual statistics But I also see why it is because it's got a lot of potential and the point is is that it's a it's quite What I can see from the gameplay can be it's quite an addictive game. Okay? I Haven't bought any axes yet, but I've been looking at this project for the past three to four months You know thinking should I get into it because I really do like it I could see myself enjoying the game as well just just in general so while axi is a fun game It's also taken on characteristics of a social network and jobs platform due to the strong community and player to earn Opportunities that have come from its early success so what you get is you can get the these these Actual rewards from actually playing the game, but of course you need to invest in the axes to then play the game to get the rewards Now the key difference between axi and a traditional game is that the blockchain Economic design is used to reward our players for their contributions to the ecosystem This new model of gaming has been dubbed to play to earn axi has attracted thousands of players from developing countries in the pursuit of a new income stream So very interesting stuff Now what you get this is the other part of it So if you was to not necessarily invest in the game or invest in the axes in the game What you can do is invest in the axi infinity shards, which is ax S so if you believe in the overall game you could invest in the actual shards But not play it just hold the shards and hope that they move up in price as we see that Improve that so a x a x s holders will be given We'll be able to claim rewards if they state their tokens play the game and participant and give the governance That's so you can actually vote in three community that community base You can actually vote players will also be able to earn access when they play various games with the axi infinity Universe and through user-generated content initiatives Okay, so very interesting now. What is the goal of the infinity shards? So it's to align the incentives between the players of the game and the developers in novel and exciting ways They're going to reward place for interacting with axi infinity But decentralize the ownership and governance of axi infinity to the community Okay, because they're making this a community decentralized driven game. That's the purpose of it Which is good to see now the actual coin in relation to the token in relation to axi infinity has actually You can see over the past 90 days. It hasn't moved up from two dollars all the way up to six dollars eighty So it's moved up a huge amount. It has actually had a bit of a drop-off. It's it's highs were at like nine dollars So nine dollars are there and then it's off some eleven dollars thirty eleven dollars fifty there So it has Been much higher than the six dollar eighty three range now for a long to medium term hold What I would look for is for this to just drop off a little bit more But then consolidate a little bit although you can see here. It doesn't really consolidate for for long So you want to wait for that consolidation? That little bit of a drop-off to try and limit your downside and maximize your upside So ideally if you can get this around sort of four five dollars, that would be probably a good range probably the four dollar range however We may not see that because this game is incredible Okay, the addictiveness of this game They've also got this land area of the game where you can actually purchase land and there's the sort of a blockchain element to that This game Has longevity. There's people that are dedicated to playing this game on a daily basis And there's people that are coming back to play it over and over again that has had the axes all the way through the you know the the volatility right so They like the game so that's why to play it and they believe in the project So I can see why that is because it does look like a really good polished game Now if you did enjoy the video don't forget to smash that like button and also make sure that this gets up into the YouTube search results So if you are an axi fan or you'll like the sound of this project smash the like button So that it then gets into the YouTube search results and that'd be fantastic to do So thank you for all support if you're new around here welcome We cover many crypters and stocks and investments So if that interests you then do subscribe to the channel hit that subscribe button and I will see everybody in the next one
