we started the lobby of the public theater and we have much thanks to give to HowlRound and the public theater for helping us, especially since lockdown when we switched over to Zoom, where we were doing it every day, in a row for a little while, and now back to once a week. So I'm SLP, thanks to Audrey. And yeah, so we're going to work for 20 minutes, that's what we're going to do. And then we're going to open it up for questions and the time remaining. And Audrey, you're going to tell them how to ask questions. Should they have questions? Yeah, definitely. Hi, everybody. So if you have questions and you're inside of the Zoom, all you need to do when it comes time is click on the raise your hand button, which is in the reactions tab. It's likely on the bottom of your screen if you're on a laptop or the top if you're on an iPad or a tablet. And if you're watching the stream, not inside of the Zoom, you are very welcome to tweet and watch me work SLP with the hashtag HowlRound, H-O-W-L-R-O-U-N-D, or you can tweet at the public theater or write to our Instagram. And those are the ways. So many ways. There's so many ways. Okay, we're going to do this for 20 minutes, and then we're going to take questions from you. Here we go. All right, all right. Those who have questions, anybody has a question? I'm here in the daylight. So weird to have the daylight. It's very strange. I mean, and we do this every year, this daylight change thing, and yet it feels particularly odd this year. I agree with you. I don't know what this year is really throwing me off. We don't have any questions just yet. Oh, Jonathan, I love the analog hand. Hi there. Forgive me, I lost my AirPods, and so I got these like beautiful rushery things, which I love. No, and I'm in a coffee shop. So if you hear lots of noise, I'm not in a dorm room or something because if he's closed, you can buy these shirts. So anyway, what is the coffee shop? It's called Adenine.  Oh, Milwaukee. Yeah, here we are. Yeah, so here's my question. I have been writing with y'all back in the day in 2020 when the world was ending, and I wrote a draft of a play, and I then put it on the shelf because I had to find new housing, and then I moved back to Milwaukee, and here we are back in the world. And I have not touched it for a while. And so I reread it. I printed it out and I reread it. And the things that I have found are it feels very similar. The voices all sound a little similar, which I would like to shake up a little bit. And I also feel like it is bones. Like there's not a lot of meat. Like there is meat, but I want to like build on it, and I want to give it some more nuance. And I was just kind of curious, this is sort of my first week going through this, and that's sort of how I did it. I have a beginning, middle, and it's cool, but I just wasn't, I wanted to, yeah, more. And I was just curious if you could help me dust this off in a new vigor. Well, congratulations for all the things you've been doing. You wrote a draft, and you put it away, and you moved, and now you take, I mean, that's a whole lot. That's a whole lot. You're quiet, please. So now we're thinking, so how do we go about this? I think so far everything you've done is great to take it and read it, print it out, and you read it aloud, I'm guessing. I didn't because I was in a public spot again, and I... No worries, no worries, no worries. They would look at me weirdly if they had these words. Totally, totally.  Yeah. So are you clear on what each character is going for, what each character wants? Yeah, there is ways that that can be fleshed out. I... Yeah, I feel like I'm discovering more about what it is, like when I'm asking them, what is it that you're wanting here or what role do you... So right now it feels like I have, like, here's the plot. I understand it. I understand how we get to the final piece, but I feel like those earlier parts is like, we... But who are you and what stakes do you have in this story? That's exactly right. That's exactly right. So you can ask that of each of your characters, you know, what are you doing in this scene? How are you contributing to the story? How is what you want contributing to the story? You know, because it's like, I do this little math thing, two points make a line. So the character, like for example, let's say with the play we both find out, like Hamlet. You know Hamlet. Okay, so, you know, so there's Hamlet and Horatio. And Hamlet wants one, Hamlet wants a certain thing, right? So where he starts and where he ends, you can, those two points, those are going to determine his lines of dialogue, you could say, right? Two points make a line. That's a math, that's like geometry or whatever. But those points, his beginning point and his end point, are going to determine his lines of dialogue, right? Horatio wanting something different, his beginning point and his end point are different. And so his lines will probably be different. You see? So if you can really fix yourself to any of you can do it within a scene. So we took the whole of Hamlet, right? So small it up and just go, where does Hamlet start in one scene, scene one, for example, you know, or whatever scene two, whatever, where he makes his entrance and where does he end in that scene, right? What does he want? So that could help you more clearly and distinctively hear his voice as opposed to the voice of Horatio, for example, using Hamlet as an example. Does that make sense? It does. Yes, I think there's a, there, all the characters have sound a little like Jonathan. Okay. And Jonathan is not in the story. That's me. So it's like, I want to just continue to... Right, right, right. Well, I mean, there are aspects of Jonathan, we could say. This is true. True. Okay. Okay. Okay.   And this character wants brand, and there they are doing such and such in the scene. Then maybe it's really time, if you've really done that kind of character detail work, then maybe it's really time to get some more voices reading it.  I think I met an earlier, I think I met this scene where you're talking about, I think my protagonist has that clear A to B. We haven't get that, but I think some of those other characters are more, not foils, but they're in the service of, and I feel like, oh no, this will thicken this up if we have clearing that. Yeah, yeah.   You know, so good way to go about it. This was given to tribes. Yeah, absolutely. I, yeah, I need to, yeah, it felt a little rusty getting back into it. So I was like, very brave though for you to like move, you know, halfway across the country, dust it off, take it out, read it, you know, very cool. So, you know, I mean, really, that's a big, give yourself a pat on the back, bro. That's a big. That's all right. Kyla, who's also on this call and I'm calling her out, she and I have like a deadline in like later this spring to like share our work with each other. So, Kyla, all right.  Just to try and keep pushing on on this. So, thank you. Really do appreciate that. Oh, thank you, Jonathan. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks, Jonathan. All right. We don't have any other questions at the moment. Oh, we've got a thumbs up from Tamir. I think taking that as a perhaps a question. You ready? Did that work out mute? Okay, here we go. Yeah. Okay. I made a mistake. I did not know that we were supposed to write in silence. So I did not write anything. But then I started writing something else. And that is very interesting to me, that just the fact that everybody was focused on writing kind of made me want to write too, even though I was just actually doing research, but that's fine. So my question is, so first of all, thank you for doing this. This is absolutely amazing. And to actually see you is equally amazing because I love your place. So I don't know what your process is. And if you can relate to what my process is, but mine is definitely that I write intuitively. And I pick up the pen and boom, off it goes. And then I wake up in the middle of the night and I have a wonderful idea. And if I don't jot it down, it's gone. So the light goes on and I write it down. And then what happens is I have this very rich, very interesting, very intricate sometimes, I don't know, nuggets from another world. And I am not sure what the process is of putting the logic and the organization back into it. And I'm always a little bit nervous about disturbing that flow versus what it needs to be a play with the beginning, middle and end. Although that is the easy part. There are more complicated parts, which is, for me, the transitions. So there we go. I hope that was clear. It sounds like you're very aware and very onto yourself in terms of what your process is. And it's something that's very enjoyable to you. It is. It sounds like it. So we don't want to touch that. It's working for you. It's fantastic. That sounds like maybe the first that helps get the first draft down or these are the nuggets from another world. Yes. They sound very yummy. So yeah, so you want to keep that.  It sometimes is more clear to me than it is to others. The sense that it makes a kind of, well, intuitive sense that, yes, that's what does happen. And sometimes what people see as climax, I see at the end as a soft landing, not as a climax. So maybe my ideas of what I am reaching for is not the usual classical way of climax towards the end. Sometimes it's in the beginning, actually. And then the understanding of it, which to me is more climactic, is in the end without going to further detail about a particular play.   You know what I mean? So that's that. That's okay. I mean, it sounds like again, it sounds like your process and your what you're coming up with is very pleasing to you. It's you said something about the transition. So what do you you said you have some of the plays that I've written have flashbacks that feed into the now time. But I find that I need to actually put more signposts for the audience to follow me. And when I have done that, then it works, but it always feels artificial to me. And maybe because the nature of memory and the nature of processing that memory in now time is different for each one of us. I'm not sure. Yeah, you can also play. I mean, the signposts you say are helpful to audience members, but they feel artificial to you. So what would I mean, where's a where's a meeting of the middle ground? Where's the middle path on that?  Here we go. You know, that feels artificial, but maybe you can find a more natural or subtle or way that feels more effective for you.  But just experiment, keep experimenting, you know, and as you wake up, you like to wake up in the middle of night and write ideas down, which sounds really beautiful. Start thinking about, you know, what could be cool transitions here? You know, you're you can get some nuggets that way. Yeah, there's also another thing that I found very, very, very helpful. And that is I'm writing a play right now. It's actually pretty, it's finished and it's going to be read. But I have two worlds going on. And there's the other world, and then the this world. And I I originally saw the other world as completely a spiritual world with a spirit guide that is helping a woman who is dying and her helping her in her in her passing. And then somebody said to me, Oh, I am so appreciative that you wrote about near death experience. And I wasn't. But it was such an interesting feedback from the audience that said to me, Well, if through magic, and through near death experience is how she and others I presume will understand the spirit world, then why don't I use that? No, it's just, I don't know why I'm saying this, but it's just something about feedback that resonates and that somehow is translatable into how we then take the play that we are given and give it back to the audience. It sounds like that was very helpful feedback to this phenomenal feedback. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's very fortunate. You got I mean, you were fortunate to get feedback. That's very helpful. You know, have you ever had that where it like a feedback will change the direction of how you perceive a play, your play? I can't remember off the top of my head. But I'm so focused on you guys right now. Got it, got it, got it. But I'm sure, sure, let's just say sure. Yes, of course. But I'm just, I'm just focusing on you all right now. But it's a very it's a big gift to have someone give you some insight and some and some ways to see your work and you can sort of rethink it in your head. I'm certainly notes, you know, notes are have always been very helpful to me from different various people in my career. But and also though you also and you know, you all know you we've all received feedback that's less than helpful. So we're mindful of that too. Sounds like you're on a great road to me. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you, Tamir. All right, Phoebe. Hey, Phoebe. Did that work? Oh, almost. There you go. I apologize ahead of time. I lost internet there for a minute and I fiddled around and I got it back. There you go. But so I got a real problem. So I've been working on one particular play. It's a musical for 10 years. I've had a 29 hour reading. We've done the whole thing. I've got all the all the stuff. Congratulations. And I put it away for two years. Had to do other things during COVID. And now I've brought it back out. And I find myself needing a unifying concept. So I wanted to ask you about the whole area of concept. So and in change, and I think I found the unifying concept. But it means to me, it means that I need to completely disassemble and rewrite, which is terrifying and also very exciting because I didn't like it before. So I feel like as if there's hope. Great. Wow. But so you know that. What is a unifying concept, Phoebe? Are you asking me? Yeah, I am. Because you've even asked a fine one and you think you know what it is. So I just know what you're doing. Well, I've got too much going on. So there's jazz. The music is is well, it's it's post jazz, but it's jazz. And so then you get this story and then you get some Shakespeare stuff, these things, all these different elements that I I believe they're neat. I needed to find what was in common in all of those elements so that I could redo a structure that makes sense. I don't know. Help me. So I'm finding, I think, I think what I need to do is start writing a narrative, writing a description of what the play is. Oh, damn. There's crazy people calling you. Oh, yeah. There you go. Good. So you said a narrative. So a unifying concept we could say is a story. Is there a story? Oh, there's a story. But I think that what I'm realizing is that the entire thing is about war. So there's a unifying concept. Right. And it changes what everybody says and why they're saying Oh, the position that they're saying. Okay. So there's a race war. There's jazz is having its own war with black identity. And then there's just wars throughout. I mean, everybody's fighting. And but but it's a big picture. So a unifying concept to me, then can also take on the structure that the structure could also be at war. And I think if if and then then if you have things happening at five different levels, my hope is that it's the unifying concept will make it worthy of anybody watching it. Because it'll then becomes art. And not just story. I mean, storytelling is an art. But it becomes more. Does that make sense? If it makes sense to you. I don't really I'm trying to follow you there. Okay, you jump when you when you separated storytelling from art, that's where you lost me because I'm like, Oh, oh, I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't mean it. So that there's more than one level. Sure. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yes. Yes. So so what you need to do is you you have these, we have a script full of amazing things that are going on. And you feel like if when you sort of unite all the elements under one concept, then it will be much more compelling than these it will give these things a depth and a resonance. That's my watchable. Okay, that's my hope. It'll have it'll become part of a converse a national conversation. It'll have its own place in a conversation. Okay, because so what's your game? What's your gameplay? How are you going to go about rewriting it? So you're going to have to rewrite it, which is well, I'm thinking that I have to write about it as if I am a critic. So I want to write the critic that want to write the I want to analyze it before I write it. In other words, I want to hear what the critic would say this so that I can then go back and make it that makes sense. It makes sense. It is not what I would suggest, but it make but if it's, I mean, it's kind of it's sort of at a distance and very analytical rather than in a story and talking about people doing stuff because and this but if that seems like a natural way for you to go about it, then I would say totally go about it that way. You know, I mean, if that seems like what's moving you like, yeah, I want to think about what people might be saying about this piece, my piece, and then get into the writing of it that way. If that seems like a natural way for you to go about it, then I suggest you go for it. There are other ways like character, story, those kinds of things. For example, we're talking about Hamlet with Jonathan earlier. I mean, Hamlet is a story, you know, but I would also say it's a work of art. I mean, I think, you know, it's a work of art, you know, it generates conversations wherever it is, wherever it is staged and has done for hundreds and hundreds of years. But there's a very compelling story there. And there's lots of things going on. A unifying concept, I would not know off the top of my head what the unifying concept of Hamlet was, but I could tell you the story of it. I would just, it's just general, this is just my opinion, like they say in the Big Lebowski, which is just so my opinion. But I would, I encourage artists, writers to stay inside the storytelling and allow the brilliant critics and scholars to take that, you know, a hundred, you know, a view from a thousand feet up and dissect it. We live, we work with the living. You dissect the dead. Postmortem.  Race war, you know, I got to say, if I see a play about a race war, I don't know, you know, if that's going to start a national conversation, where I'm from my point of view personally, but if you tell me about a person who's in the middle of something like that, I'm going to lean in. You know what I mean? Okay, let's try, can I just try one more angle? So in jazz, for instance, so you have, you've got your theme and so that's music. So you get your theme and there it is and you can kind of hear it, but then you break into solos and people that are doing it their way, they're, they're improvising. And then you listen to all that and it gets pretty interesting, storytelling. And then you come back to the theme again. So that theme that I'm mentioning is what I call unifying concept. So like the head in jazz. Yeah. Right. So I don't, just yeah, but, but music acts asks different things of us than a play or a musical, you know what I mean? I would say that we could use it to help us write and think about writing. For example, you know, if I think of just mention about the death of the last black man, the whole entire world, aka the negro book of the dead, that's, you know, I listened to a lot of jazz when I wrote that it has a head, we have departures. It comes back to what you would call unifying concept. I would say the story. I would suggest as an exercise, start using that word just because I'm going to go out on a limb here. I still, I'm old school, I still use the word women to talk about certain people. I know that word is falling out of fashion. I still use the word story, you know, I mean, there are some words that can exist alongside of words that have become more of use and perhaps more useful in current culture. But I still think there's a place for words that we used last year to, you know, and I don't think story is a bad word. And I don't think story has been rung, you know, of its resonance and meaning, especially when concepts are so tied to the marketplace and talking points of what we're all supposed to be writing about these days. Give me a story any day. That's just my opinion. Give me a beautiful story.  There's a lot of, there's a lot of wealth in a story and a story can resonate.    Those are stories. Those are people. I don't know any play I can, I can think of. Those are stories about people and the music man, Caroline or change, you know. Now I've run out of things, examples, but so I got it. I'm gonna get off my soapbox. Keep in touch. Keep in touch, baby. Keep in touch. Keep in touch. Okay. Thank you. I like it. Thank you. I appreciate your question. Great question. All right. So Kevin has a question. Go for it, Kevin. We have about eight minutes left. I've been curious about, I mostly like monologues and I feel like I'm struggling to find kind of like a voice. Like, I read a lot and I'm finding whatever I'm reading kind of ends, I end up sounding like that.  I just read like Rachel Kosk. So now I sound like a woman going through a divorce with a problematic department. Like, so, so I'm, I'm like trying to figure out how to sound like me, but also enjoy a kind of encountering other people and their writing too, if that makes sense. That's maybe a therapy question with this question. No, well, that's okay. It's a great question. It's a great question because you it's great that you read and read widely and enjoy other people's work. That's awesome. I would say, step away from the work a little bit. You know, if you're so easily influenced, you know, then you can take pauses between your digestion of their work.  But if it's a, it's a, it's a concern for you, then I would say less of them, you know, more of you. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I guess making that room for like silence and reflection has not been a part of my writing process, but I feel like I get involved and feel like, oh, I must like, accomplished by like putting pen to paper, but maybe that like extra space can be helpful to I think, Kevin, I think you said it better than I did. Yes. Extra space for silence and contemplation. Do you have a meditation practice while we're on the subject of? No.  Two minutes, close your eyes, breathe, create space for that small still voice within, you know. Also, when you do write, you can try, look, I have all these little things here. You can try, look, their ear, not ear, not like these, you know, but the ear, what do you call them?  Those, those are really good because what you hear is like, it helps create silence in your head, which is really awesome. Also, if you have a 10-year-old, it helps keep the noise up. But those, that's helpful. So meditation practice, start out with two minutes every day, every morning, that could help. Or if you can't do two minutes, do one minute. One minute is also good. And also, fewer, read a little less. Yeah. Because you might be scared of not having anything to say. Yeah, I think that's part of it. And that's okay. That's okay. Well, thank you. That was helpful. Thanks so much. You're welcome. You're welcome so much. Good question. Great question. I don't think we've ever gotten that one. Yeah. Thanks, Kevin. Well, we've got about three minutes left. Don't know that I see a question at the moment. I'm just going to say hi to Melania. Say hi to Gina. I'm spacing on your name, sis. Adam, wait a minute. Oh, Melania's got a hand up. I was going to say Crystal and I'm like, wait a minute. I know someone named Crystal. It's you. Melania's got a hand up. What's happening, Melania? Hi, Susan. Hi, Melania. How you doing? I'm very, very good to see you. And I want to share with you one thing. I am still, they are dancing with my one woman play trying to find, yes. But that's good. But what I want to share with you is that my daughter, my 11-year-old daughter, Chloe, for Black History Month, chose you to write her work. So he presented out you and the entire cast and her work was the one that the teacher loved the most. Yes. And so she said that she's so inspired and she she looked at me that I feel so inspired by you. So I wanted to say thank you. I know that we have three minutes but to say thank you because what you taught me and you are teaching me and I think at all our, my classmates is that being in the work, even when maybe we have some conflicts or is something good, is nice, is a way to be there, to have communion with the work, to listen to the spirit, to be this, trying to find the silence in our heads in order to say what we need to say to our character. And she saw me so inspired by you that she chose you for the work and you was a huge success. So I wanted to say thank you for working. Thank you, daughter Chloe so much. That's so very kind. Yes, thank you. Well, we're proud of you, Melania, because at all you and Crystal too. I mean, those of you who have been coming and coming and working and working, even if this is just your first time here with us, you know, it takes a tremendous amount of courage to sit down and create something, whether it's a song or a poem or a play or a novel or a painting or whatever, or just get through the day. Hey, let's be real. Yeah, that's right. It ain't easy. It ain't easy these days.  And how fortunate we are to have internet connection, even though it might be dicey, you know, and have a place to sit down where we can feel safe and do our work.  And what an effort. We are giving something to the greater good by showing up.  Thank you. Well, thanks Melania. Well, that's a great note to end on. That's it. Yeah, it's six o'clock. We'll be back next week. Right on. We sure will. Okay. Have a good week, y'all. Bye-bye-bye. Thank you, Audrey. Bye-bye. You're the best.


How to write profitable sales emails now have you been struggling with writing emails knowing what to say how to say it look This isn't something you're bored with you need to know a process And that's exactly what I'm going to give you in this video so that you can get real results with sales emails And we're starting right now Hey, I'm JR Fisher and if you're new to my channel take a second and subscribe go down there to that subscribe button click that button Don't forget Smash that bell turn on notifications so that you can know every single time I do a video set it to all Notifications so that you'll know now when this channel I teach you the techniques that we use to sell millions of dollars of both physical and digital products My branded products are on thousands of websites including Walmart And all I do on this channel is share with you the tips and tricks that I've learned along the way so that you can get Results to now have you already tried to write sales emails? What kind of results did you get? What did you do? What didn't you do? Do you have questions about it put all of that in the comment section below so that I can share more information with you? And you can tell me what you need at the end of this video I've got a $97 e-commerce course that you can get absolutely free all you have to do is click the link now I remember way back when I first started trying to send out emails. I didn't I didn't know what to say I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to offer. It was really really difficult But in this video, I'm going to show you exactly what to do what to offer so you get results and you could skip over all those problems Back then I would actually do an email and just send people to my website and I hope they would buy and they didn't it didn't work It didn't work at all. It was really bad But nowadays I can actually send out an email and see thousands of dollars worth of sales come in within just hours All because I changed my process and I want to share that with you Now I want to share with you all the steps that we go through to get real results number one Know what you're offering now that may sound silly. You may say well, you know I've got a website and we sell sunglasses So sunglasses is our offer, but it really isn't what you need to do is narrow it down to a particular product For instance, we have a survival food site and we sell canned meats We sell dehydrated foods the canned meats We have beef and chicken and turkey and pork and ground beef But to really be effective in email marketing You have to pick out one of your products and actually run and add directly to that product. It needs an Individual page. So when you start your email campaign, you've got to understand that you've got to know your offer Your offer has to be something special out of the ordinary You can't just send them to your page and hope that somebody's gonna buy now take for example in our freeze-dried line We have 30 day supplies 60 day 90 day 6 month 1 year and we have all kinds of different configurations too So it's not just one type of bucket with certain types of foods in it They're all kinds of different foods in it when you do an email campaign You should send them to one landing page or sales page if you will and you should just market that one particular product You shouldn't try to market everything you have it gets way too confusing for the people and you're not gonna sell more I know the thinking is well if I show them everything I've got they're bound to buy something But they don't they get over confused and they don't end up buying anything at all now Here is a landing page I use now and it has a video on it explaining the product and tons of details about the product It offers discounts if they buy larger quantities and if the sale is big enough they can even get free shipping So to reiterate know your offer. It's got to be one particular offer once you've got this done Then you can move on to writing your emails Number two is playing your sequence and what I mean by this is you're not going to make money Sending emails by sending one email to an offer it doesn't work that way It has to be a sequence of emails offering that item and taking certain steps to get them closer and closer to the sale So in the case of our canned meats, we may run a special a 72 hour special on a particular product Maybe a mixed case of meats now the way we'll set this up is we'll run a 72 hour sale So the first day we're going to send them an email and announce the sale and give them all the details of it The next day we're going to let them know there's only 48 hours left And we may give a little bit more detail the third day We're going to let them know there's only 24 hours left and on the last day of the sale We're going to mail them in the morning to let them know how many hours are left in the afternoon to let Them know how many hours are left and a last email of the day letting them know they're just about to miss out So you can see in that sequence right there. We've got about six emails right off the bat This is what works. This is what you have to do. You have to send a sequence of emails Now this is really easy to set up if you have the right software We build ours in Cartra and you can get a trial of Cartra for only $1 by checking the link in the description below at the end Of the video you'll want to check it out It's an awesome software and it's going to help you because you won't have to spend as much time writing emails You write it one time and the sequences go out as new customers come on your list They get put in the queue to get those emails. Okay, I'm in Cartra right now And this is one of our sales sequences for a survival cave food The starting rules are right here and as you can see if the lead is assigned a tag SCF sales sequence They will actually go into the sequence here and once this is built I mean it's like really super easy because it just goes off on its own and then it splits right here and it Asked a question. We'll take a look at this real quick and it asked the question. Do they have Tag SCF 5 can sample buyer in other words have they already bought it or do they have tag sample purchaser home? So if they have either one of those it's actually going to stop the sequence because the sequence is actually trying to sell them this So as you can see here, it's doing five can sample email one and ask them the question again Did they buy? If they did not buy it sends in the next email then it asked the questions Did they buy and these are like one day after each other so that it gives them a day to purchase that item And if they didn't buy it sends them this email here So they go through three different emails trying to offer them the sample can purchase Number three is design your subject line now understand what a subject line is there for a subject line is not to tell What the subject is I know that sounds crazy, but it's really not a subject line is to get them to open the email So you have to have something of interest if you put in your subject line 20% off all men's t-shirts today They can look at that and they can decide if they want to open that email or not If it's a female, she's not going to open it if it's a person who wants a sweater They're not going to open it so you don't want to do that what you want to do is have subject lines They're going to actually grab their interest you can put something like have you seen this yet? You can put it in there. Why wouldn't you take advantage of this or I've done talking about this You won't hear from me again now Here's an example of one of my emails that goes out to my customer So you can kind of see what they see and you can use it as an example for your company Okay, so going back to our previous example where we're selling them the sample can Email I'm going to go through here and just kind of show you one of the emails that's in that sequence Subject line says first name now What it'll do is it'll insert their name in here automatically because it's a dynamic field and These are one of the components you can put in here And I say bet you didn't know this and it's free and if we go down here says hey first name I want to let you know about all the cool products We make in the awesome survival blog I write You can get free access to the survival blog by clicking the link below and it gives them the link to it In addition to our freeze-dried dehydrated meals We also make delicious ready-to-eat all-natural canned meats We are giving away some free samples now just pay shipping grab your free canned meat now by clicking the button below Believe me when you eat this you'll be blown away by how great they taste and then there's a button here And if they click it obviously it's going to go to that sales page and they can look at that product So this is an example of one of the emails that we send out that is very very effective Now if you follow these steps you will have successful email campaigns Hey, if you enjoyed this video give me a thumbs up down there if you didn't give me a thumbs down I want to hear what you're doing.

Keep it clean, team keep it clean On your screen, the Ravens on your screen And if you see the Ravens on your screen Nine times out of ten YouTube team keep it clean What's going on is Sangraven here with another video And in this video as you all know Today is the day where Justin Houston is scheduled to visit the Baltimore Ravens So the Baltimore Ravens are gonna get an opportunity to sell themselves to Justin Houston And he's gonna get an opportunity to sell himself to the Baltimore Ravens And of course we all hope that this thing goes really, really good Justin Houston, a good past rusher And like we said before when we spoke about him He is a finisher And not only a finisher but a consistent finisher And that's what we've been lacking at the Past Rush Department for years For years It's been a very long time since we had a consistent finisher as a past rusher And no, sacks are not everything Trust me, sacks are not everything Pressure is the real deal Because pressure, it messes up a quarterback It messes up the clock in their head Pressure is the real deal but sacks, they just They can be that, they can be very, very sweet A nice little cherry on top But he does both And he's good at run defense too So this video This video serves as a plea from me personally To the Baltimore Ravens But before we get into this I love y'all I really love y'all We've gotten a lot of positive messages from people Especially over these past couple of days And it's a beautiful thing that y'all are sharing your positivity with other people man I appreciate that, we appreciate that, they appreciate that Keep doing that, don't stop Don't stop People going through stuff right now man Y'all know, y'all know people personally Y'all know some of y'all even personally are going through stuff man Be there for people Be there for people Time, whether it's time, whether it's whatever Just listening, listening ear Makes a big difference, please do that for people But anyway I did say this video serves as a one last plea For the Baltimore Ravens And what I mean when I say that is I just I don't want them to pass up on a potential difference maker Like a potential difference maker Just to hold on to a comp-pick Cause I know they love that comp-picks I know they do, I know they do We know y'all love them comp-picks Ravens are at the cost of I didn't know some stealing the bill to everybody We know y'all love the comp-picks We appreciate that and a couple years ago when that rule came out That they were like, okay, you guys can trade comp-picks Now you know the Ravens were like, yes They were probably the ones that pushed for that rule But in this case, again Super Bowl window Not that once you pay Le Mar, it's over Cause it's certainly not But it's just, it's gonna make it harder to build around her It's gonna make it a little bit harder to put pieces around her Once you pay Le Mar But this is why if you got the opportunity To get a potential difference maker And a proven, excuse me Not a proven difference maker Proven guy Take it, please take it Because as we know Like I said, every year This happens every single year Guys are out there in the market Guys are free agents They're free agents And then once one team is interested It's like, ooh, okay Now another team's interested And another team's interested And that's how it works It happens every year with different guys At different positions Just, I'm just, I'm scared that with Justin And this is, you know the Ravens really love this dude Because y'all remember They tried to sign him two years ago They tried to sign this dude two years ago And he obviously chose the Colts So this is the Ravens circling back around Unless For some reason This is a smokescreen I don't think it is But you always gotta have that possibility In the back of your head But I don't think it is But with Justin Houston That this is them circling back around And you know when it comes to past rushes They will circle back around They did it with Yanik and Gakwe They did it with Judevian Clowney They will circle back around So I just I do not want If they're really interested in this guy You know what he can do We talked about the numbers yesterday And even though numbers don't tell the whole story They sure tell a good chunk of it Especially in his case What he could do for the team What we need A glaring hole right now Is at the past rush position Right now our past rushes We got Bowser We got Pranel McPhee We got Jalen Ferguson So Well, Jelly is not really a pastor He's an interior defensive lineman Along with Brandon Williams Broderick Washington too And Kaleas Campbell He's a little bit of both But he's not really a past rusher Past rusher But yeah So we clearly have a lack At that department We clearly have a lack in that department So I just really Really ravens please Because I just feel like this dude Is gonna slip away He's gonna get scooped up by some He just knows He's gonna get scooped up by some If the ravens don't make this move He's gonna get interest from somebody And they're gonna be like, hey Justin Houston we know what you can do Come on We don't care about them compics And it's not that the compics are bad They're just a maybe They're a maybe They're a big maybe Like oh well maybe they Whoever we draft could work out Because sometimes it has for the ravens Other times it hasn't It's just an unknown But we're just Houston You get a player that Oh man It's a fit man It's a fit My guys are NFL Ogden And Devin Butcher his last name I'm gonna try to read it one time And if I don't get it right Penchwa My apologies my boy I'm sorry if I messed up your last name They were just talking about it About what Justin Houston could do For these Baltimore ravens And my guy Devin made a really good point When they were talking about him Being a good run defender He said he has that value over I think he was a really good pass rusher Good pass rusher But run defense wasn't his thing You bring in Justin Houston Who can defend the run Strike a deal please ravens Please because it just makes too much sense Don't let him go Don't let him get away Don't let him get away If you want another pick Just I don't know man Just don't let him get away If you're gonna trade Orlando Brown Jr Like let that take over for the comp pick If you're gonna trade I mean I would rather them keep Orlando Brown Jr But if you're gonna trade him You're about to come up on some picks anyway So let this like sort of cancel that out Cancel out you losing the comp pick From when you trade Orlando Brown I don't know man But no seriously I just I don't want them to lose an opportunity like this Because you're trying to win You're trying to build the best team that you possibly can The comp pick And you're trying to do that this year This year The comp picks are not until next year And they're not even setting stone What round they're gonna be in They should be fourth round Comp picks And you'll have one that's a third round comp pick The David Coley one that's a guarantee But for Matt Judon and Yannick and Gakwe They should be fourth round comp picks But it's just It's not even a guarantee man Get Justin Houston man Justin Houston man Please just get him man Please just get him We don't ask for much We'll keep you all posted Hopefully I got a feeling what the title of the next video is gonna be Based on later today But I'm not gonna say anything Because I just I don't want it to be that But I got a feeling it's going to be just that So I already know what I expect And I know a lot of y'all know what I'm talking about already When it comes to Justin Houston and the Ravens But we'll see when we get there I love y'all team keep it clean I appreciate y'all team keep it clean And hopefully later on like Justin Houston Won't be without a deal I'm out


Welcome to Geneva and WSIS Forum 2022. With me is Vladimir Stankovic, who is one of the WSIS coordinators at ITU. Welcome. What are your reflections on this week? Thank you for having me. Finally, after two years, we're back to the physical format of the WSIS Forum. I've been very pleased to see so many happy faces. Most of them really appreciating the efforts of ITU and other WSIS co-organizers and coordinators. What we have done so far, especially during the COVID-19, where we went fully virtual and hosting more than 250 sessions each year. This year, we started on the 15th of March with more than 150 sessions, finalizing during the current week with more than 100 sessions, high-level segment, but more than that, we had amazing outcomes at the WSIS exhibition, at the WSIS Knowledge Cafes, Round Tables, and of course, the ceremonies and announcements. One of them I would like to highlight is the WSIS Prize 2022 ceremonies. On Tuesday, we have announced the 18 winners, and I would like to use this opportunity to congratulate all of them, and of course, our champions, who were also celebrated the day after. The recording, of course, is available on the WSIS Forum website. I do invite everyone to take a close look to celebrate the success of the winners, champions, the nominees, but everyone else who has contributed this year to the implementation of the WSIS process, through the WSIS prizes, through the WSIS stock taking, and through many other processes that we have been started, thanks to the external stakeholders. So the WSIS Forum itself, from its beginning, has been very unique, multi-stakeholder, inclusive, crowdsourced. Everything that is happening at the WSIS Forum is because of the requests coming from the WSIS stakeholders, so very happy that more and more stakeholders are recognizing WSIS platform as their platform, as their home, where they can share knowledge, information, promote the good work of ICTs in their communities and networks, and of course, on the global level. We at the WSIS Forum are really trying to amplify the voices of all of them, individuals, different groups, through special tracks, through many various formats, and I would like to mention some of them. We have had the very interesting outcomes coming from the ICTs and youth special track, ICTs and older persons. For the first time, we have held the Intergenerational Knowledge Cafe, and it seems like that in the future, this topic will hold a special place at the WSIS Forum and beyond the WSIS Forum itself. Of course, besides this, we have been working with healthy aging communities, and many stakeholders that were involved this year. We had the second edition of the WSIS Healthy Aging Innovation Prize, where the three winners were announced, so we also would like to invite everyone to follow closely on that. The photo contest was also there, the finalists were announced, the winners were announced. You have had the opportunity to also see the exhibitions, also dedicated to the photo contest, to the WSIS Prizes, of course, to our partners who have been supportive for so many years, and the new ones coming, and we look forward to the future WSIS Forum events. I've been really struck by how appreciative the projects are of the WSIS Prizes and how helpful that recognition is to driving forward their progress to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals. Indeed, so. Since we started this process in 2012 with the WSIS Prizes, the numbers were good, perhaps as every other start shy, but very soon after that, we moved to close to 1,000 submissions coming from around the world. It means that the community is recognizing WSIS Prizes as a very important platform to showcase the good work. I always say what we do here is to promote ICTs for development rather than promote a particular project or a particular entity, country or a region, but even they get their piece of cake and are very happy about being promoted. Each year, newcomers, some really amazing projects out there, everyone's being very happy about it. Wherever I meet people on the corridor, in the meeting rooms, they're discussing how important the WSIS Prize award is for them, how their community is seeing this back home, how their ministers, presidents, prime ministers have been congratulating them, and I look forward to seeing their promotion and to further promote it back at the WSIS Forum. Well, congratulations to you on helping to coordinate such a successful week. Vladimir Stankovic, thank you very much for your time. Thank you.


Hello, it's Waylon Chao and this is torts an introduction and intentional torts module 3a part a In this part We will begin the introduction to torts by looking at what is a tort the three different types of torts legal analysis that you need to apply to torts and also the the tort of battery What is a tort? It's it's certainly not a cake a Legal tort is made up of three different elements There has to be some kind of wrongful act committed by a person and that act causes an injury or loss to another person Which leads to civil liability? So what that means a civil liability is that the injured person or the person who suffered the loss may sue the person who Commit the wrongful act The person who committed the wrongful act the the technical legal term is a tort freezer Now there is a social purpose for For a tort which allows someone to make another person liable for their for their loss It tort law is meant to discourage people from committing private wrongs by requiring them to compensate and restore The wrong party so it gives people an incentive to not do these wrongful acts and and to be to be careful in what they do Here's a comic strip illustrating the three types of torts There's intentional torts where there's some kind of intentional act the the comic here Illustrates the tort of trespass, which is actually something that we won't cover But what it was showing is that the the intentional act of kicking the ball the ball is trespassing on someone else's property the second the second drawing here is is negligence when someone accidentally or Is careless and and that careless carelessness causes an injury to another person and the third one is strict liability which Could involve in being attacked by an animal and suing the the owner of that animal for for the injury So again, there are three types of torts the first type is intentional torts Which is covered in module 4a of this course the intentional tort involves an act that was done Intentionally and that act causes harm to someone else Negligence torts, which is covered in module 4b involves an act that was done carelessly or accidentally and that that careless or accidental Act causes harm to someone else The third type is strict liability or strict liability tort So with a strict liability tort someone has been harmed, but it's not because something was done intentionally or carelessly So this type of tort is only in particular special situations such as the transportation of dangerous products Or the keeping of dangerous animals We don't cover this type of tort in this course, but if you are interested, please have a look in the textbook There is a case brief case brief 3.1 on page 67 with a case called Cowles versus Balak so it involves a couple who were injured by By animals at the African lion safari and interestingly enough One of the one of the one of the people injured was a Sheridan student at that time To determine whether or not a tort has been committed We first need to see what the legal requirements are for the specific kind of tort Every type of tort has a specific list of requirements Requirements that have to be met in order to conclude that a tort or that tort has been committed These are legal requirements have been set by by courts through case law If the requirements of a tort are met we then need to look at The applicable defenses that that may allow the defendant to either avoid liability altogether or to reduce the defendants liability So some torts have specific defenses that that would do that so for the tort of defamation There are the defenses of justification absolute privilege qualified privilege and fair comment So if any of those defenses apply the defendant the person being sued would not be liable for defamation if if we conclude that all the requirements of the tort are met and None of the defenses are available Then a tort has been committed The next thing the court has to determine is you know What is the appropriate remedy to give to the plaintiff to to address the wrong that has been suffered by the plaintiff? Let's go back to the case of Betel and Yim, which we looked at way back in in module one So we had used that case to illustrate You know how how we do a proper three-step three-step legal legal analysis So that so if you remember that case involved a variety store owner named Mr. Mr. Yim and one day a Bunch of boys including one named Betel entered his entered his store You know played on played with stuff in his store and then and then mr.. Yim was irritated with them and asked them to leave The boys went outside and start throwing lit matches into the store So mr.. Yim went after the boys and grabbed one of them Which was which was Betel who is the plaintiff in this case and start shaking Betel and In the process of shaking him He hits Betel's nose and Betel's nose is broken So that's the the the injury that's being sued for in this case By Betel is is the broken nose So let's let's look at this case in terms of the tort of battery Back in module one we had looked at the the requirements of the tort of battery But let's look at it in more in more detail now So first for for all the torts or most the torts that will will cover in this in this module We will we will Summarize them in three different parts the first part being the requirements for that tort the second is The available defenses for that tort and the third is the the appropriate remedy if that the tort has been committed So for the tort of battery The the requirements are that there has to be an intentional act Causing offensive bodily contact and also the defendant has suffered some kind of harm from that from that contact and and what is meant by the word offensive is that the The the bodily contact was was want unwanted. So even if the contact is harmless or even beneficial like in the case of a medical treatment treatment where consent has not been provided If the contact is Unwanted it is still considered to be to be battery So if those requirements are met The defendant could still be held not liable if one of these defenses is applicable the first defense is the defense of consent You know did you know did the did the the plaintiff in some way consent to to the battery so you know the Most most obvious situation where you know being Where you have consented to being hit is where you voluntarily enter into a fight With with another person. So if that other person, you know hits you in that fight There is available the the defense of consent you've consented to being hit by entering into that into that fight So you the defendant could not be held liable The second defense is called is called self defense. So if someone attacks you You can use reasonable force in response to an immediate risk.  So specific people under You know on under legislation or even common law It may have legal authority to use to use force to make bodily contact with another person The most obvious example is is police So if if they if they if they feel that someone has committed a crime, they have a right To use reasonable force to to make to make an arrest the third or The rather the fourth defense is called necessity. So that's where the the bodily contact is justified because of some Emergency some kind of critical situation where the contact is Needed because of that emergency situation The the last defense is called provocation. That's only a partial defense. It doesn't remove all Or eliminate all of the defendants liability So that's you know, so that's where the the person has been provoked Where the words or actions would cause a reasonable person to lose self-control So if if the plaintiff had had said or done something to provoke the defendant to and which caused the defendant to lose self-control and hit the plaintiff then you know, then there is the partial defense of Provocation and the defendant will not be held fully liable for the for the injuries Now if the requirements are met and no defenses are available So that means the defendant is liable and the court has to decide on an appropriate remedy in in the case of the tort of battery the The the the usual appropriate Remedy is compensatory damages to cover the economic losses that the defendant has suffered Due to the injury later on in this module We will cover in greater detail the different types of remedies available in in tort cases Let's now do the legal analysis for the Betel and Yim case the first step of identifying the legal issue is Is is stating the the legal question now did Yim commit the tort of battery against Betel? The second step of stating the applicable law So the first thing we need to set out is the legal test for the tort of Battery which which is your battery is committed if the defendant did an intentional act Which caused offensive bodily contact on the plaintiff and the plaintiff has been harmed by that contact the The second part of the applicable law is setting out the applicable defenses So I won't you know read read them out, but that's basically putting out in in full sentence form what the defenses are and last part of the applicable law is Stating what what the appropriate remedies Are so so what I put here is that if the defendant did commit battery without any applicable defense The defendant must pay compensatory damages for the injuries suffered by the plaintiff so let's The third step of the legal analysis for Betel Yim and Yim is applying the law to the facts and coming to a conclusion or Opinion so we first apply the legal test for the tort of battery to the facts So Yim did intentionally make bodily contact with Betel by grabbing and shaking him And this contact caused the breaking of Betel's nose. So there was harm caused by the bodily contact So therefore the legal test for battery is is satisfied The next thing we do is look see if any of the defenses are applicable to the facts So the first defense is the defense of consent. So Betel did not consent in any way to being grabbed grabbed by Yim And since Betel did not attack Yim Yim was not acting in self-defense. So the self-defense Defense is not available Yim does not have any special legal authority to grab Betel and also there was not any emergency which necessitated The grabbing of Betel. So none of those defenses apply. However We could say that Betel provoked Yim by by throwing lit matches into the store So therefore a partial defense is available to Yim. So this partial defense would Would act to reduce Mr. Yim's liability For the tort of battery. It won't eliminate his liability. It will only reduce it The third step of applying the law to the facts is to is to determine the appropriate remedy So Yim will be liable to pay Betel compensatory damages for any economic losses He has suffered due to his broken nose. So such so these economic losses could be things like medical expenses or Or a loss of income for missing work due to the injury So if Betel had a job that he couldn't do because of his broken nose He could claim for that for that loss of income in the form of compensatory damages


So just a little bit ago, I was looking at some videos that we put out earlier today. And something that I noticed was that, man, I was looking rough. My hair was looking all messy. I needed to shave. I was just not team keeping clean whatsoever.  Definitely wasn't my best work. I did not put my best effort into it. I shaved. I just put myself together to be halfway decent, but I could have done a much better job if I would have just put in a little more work. And that's the same thing with this Stephen A. Smith take. It's definitely not his best work. He could have done a much better job if he just put in a little more effort. And it was lazy. Going forward though. You're taking Joe Burrow. I'm saying because only because of this one position. I have been a stickler for many, many years. I know how electrifying Lamar Jackson is. But I've been a stickler for years about when you play the quarterback position, I have to believe in your ability to throw the football consistent. I'm not thinking playmate. First, you have to show me that consistently you can be accurate in throwing the football. That is my criteria for the quarterback position that I've been consistent about throughout my career on television. I'm very, very big on that. And that is the lone question I've had about Lamar Jackson. He was the leader of Russia last yesterday with 86 yards or something like that Russian. They had nobody else running the football for them. He was sat five times. He was under pressure. I get that. I love that touchdown pass. I get it. But consistently watching them throw the football, Joe Burrow just appears to be on another level. You know what? But it's Lamar Jackson. It's Lamar Jackson because we're talking about Lamar Jackson like he's a finished product. I mean, we're talking about Lamar Jackson like Joe Burrow's not older than he is. Lamar Jackson already has an MVP. Lamar Jackson isn't playing with the Jamar Chases. Lamar Jackson isn't playing with the Joe Misses. Right now, all of his running backs are my age. All of his running backs were on teams and cut and released. That's why he's the leader of Russia. That's why he has to go for 500 yards in prime time to get this team to win. Lamar Jackson is playing at such a high level right now. I think that we are ignoring it because we've seen it before, right? We saw him win the MVP. We saw him carry a team. Lamar Jackson is on pace to again give us something we've never seen. And y'all act like it's not happening. Steven A, I got some words for you again, my friend. And of course, they are all clean. Yeah, this feels like a dream. YouTube team keeping clean. What's going on is engraving here with another video. And Steven A Smith, he's back at it again. And this time, he said that he would take Joe Burrow over Lamar Jackson. But see that, I have no problem with him saying that because everybody's entitled to their own opinion. Which QB you would take over the other one doesn't matter to me. That's fine. It is what it is. But where I question Steven A Smith is where he questions Lamar Jackson's accuracy. Or in his words, his inaccuracy. The fact that he's not an accurate passer and I'm still trying to figure out why we are still stuck on that. And I can't even say that Steven A Smith was a prisoner at a moment for the game yesterday. Because if you listen to him and go watch the clip over again, you can tell. You can just tell that Steven A Smith did not watch one ounce of this game. Not one ounce. But before you get into it, I gotta give a huge shout out to all the Team QB Clean Patrons. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all so much. Thank you for supporting the channel. If you wanna become a Team QB Clean Patron, you can go to patreon.com slash ingravenvids. And if you don't wanna become a Team QB Clean Patron, then you ain't gotta go to patreon.com slash ingravenvids.  You got it. It's all yours. But anyway, back to Steven A Smith. He talked about how, right now, he would take Joe Burrow over Lamar Jackson because Joe Burrow is just on another level. And Joe Burrow is just such an accurate pass for the football. He's on another level from Lamar Jackson when it comes to passing the football.  And this wasn't even Lamar Jackson's worst game. It was his worst overall beatdown as a starting quarterback. But it wasn't his worst game as a quarterback. But when you do a Steven A Smith, and you just, you only look at the numbers, you only look at the numbers. You say, my Lamar Jackson was 15 for 31, under 50%. Yeah, he's so inaccurate, gross. 257 yards, one touchdown on the exceptions. And he got sacked five times. Wow.  He completed less than half of his passes while he's so inaccurate. I still have questions about his accuracy. And this is how you can tell Steven A did not watch 1% of that game. He mentioned, again, he talked about what stats show. He said, oh, Lamar Jackson had like 88 rushing yards. And that pass that he threw to Hollywood Brown was nice. That's how he's talking right there. He didn't watch one ounce of the game. But he talked about how, oh, yeah, yeah. And then all his other running backs, they didn't have any running yards. And Lamar, yeah, yeah, he might've been under pressure, but no, but he's inaccurate. If a quarterback is always under pressure, what do you expect them to do? And again, Lamar, yesterday and yesterday's game, there wasn't an accuracy issue. There was a bingles issue, a bingles defensive line issue that became an issue for the Ravens offensive line, which has been an issue. And that created this even bigger issue that we saw throughout the game. And Lamar Jackson, a lot of times yesterday, he was holding the ball, holding, holding, holding. A couple of times he ran into sacks. A lot of other times he just had a lot of pressure and he got sacked. And it was just a very rough game. But yesterday was not one of those games where his accuracy was in question at all. At least not in my opinion. I did not see any throws where it was like, oh man, Lamar, who are you throwing that to? Yuck. Or at least none of those throws to where he had a clean pocket and he threw it. And it was like, whoa, who was that intended for? Like, what is going on? See, this is the problem with a lot of media. Again, like my guy, Strong Opinion Sports said, media guys aren't football guys. It doesn't always mix. And Stephen A. Smith, this is a clear example of him being a media guy, but not a football guy. We know he specializes in NBA. That's his bread and butter. But hey, Al, you work for ESPN, so you gotta cover a lot of stuff. So I respect him for continuing to go at NFL, but I really just don't think that's his specialty.    There's a lot of football. There's a whole lot of football. But even if it's condensed, but when you come on the air, when you come on the national, this is how narratives get created. Narratives get created by media guys who come on air and they just say anything without doing research, without really watching any of these players who they talking about play, by just watching the stat sheet. They just spit out anything and then this how narratives are created and how they get just, they continue because they'll spit this out and then fans and people who watch these shows, they'll take it, they'll take it in because they're seeing it on a daily basis. They're hearing it on a daily basis. So it's being repeated in their mind, it's being repeated from what they see on TV and they're like, whoa, whoa, okay, it is right. Since the guy on TV said it and he's been on TV for a long time, he's had plenty of jobs on TV and he keeps getting more jobs on TV, then that makes it right, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Anybody who still had questions as for Lamar Jackson as a passer this year, those questions have all been answered. Anybody who had questions for Lamar Jackson as a quarterback this year, those questions have all been answered. And not even just one, because if it was just one game, I could give you that, but it's been several games where he has shown you over and over and over and over again. He's just fine as a quarterback. He's just fine as a passer. He can come back from being down, he can come back from being down multiple scores. So it doesn't make any sense when they still try to push these same narratives. Now, shout out to Ryan Clark. My favorite part of that whole thing was what he said. He said, man, these running backs that Ravens got, he said, they're my age. They are my age. And he continued to show why Lamar Jackson is so valuable to these Baltimore Ravens. And why he deserves, in my opinion, a blank check. A blank check. Because this team would not be this team without a Lamar Jackson. My guy JT, I was talking to him earlier. He said he thinks this team will be two and five without Lamar Jackson, with those wins coming against the Chargers and the Broncos. And I, I don't know, I could say, maybe even one of six. Because this guy has just, it's crazy. And again, he's not the only person that's putting in work. It takes a team effort. But the amount of work that this guy puts in, that's what Ryan Clark was highlighting. That's why he brought up the running backs. Cause they all castoffs. They all guys that got cut from other teams or then get signed by other teams. And hey, now they Ravens. And of course it is due to the situation with the JK Dobbins and the Gus Edwards, which is extremely unfortunate situation. But that's what it is for the Ravens right now. So the fact that the running game just has not been anything special, but the Ravens have still been getting it done. They sitting at five and two. And we've seen what Lamar been doing. Again, he, he, he's shown us, give that man a blank check. That's probably what the holdup is right now. That that's probably what the only holdup is right now with his contract extension. Lamar got a blank check from Eric DeCosta. And he's like, man, how, what, where should I start at? Should, what, what should we do? Should I go to 600 mil? Should I go to 700? Like, what should I do? Cause he deserves it all, man. He deserves it all from the moment that he became the Raven starter. This team has not been the same in a good way. And then it's crazy too, because you see, whenever the Ravens lose in the regular, actually whenever the Ravens lose, a lot of fans, they flip out, they go crazy because they're not used to it. It doesn't happen very often. His rookie season, he lost one game in a regular season against the Chiefs and then one game in the playoffs, I mean, obviously playoffs are one and done and that was against the Chargers. His sophomore season, he lost two games, one against the Chiefs again, and then another one against the Browns in the regular season and then in the playoffs, they lost to the Titans got demolished. And then the following season, what, how much did they lose five games last year? Well, he only lost four games because one of those games, he wasn't a starter. One was to the Steelers. One was to the Patriots. One was to the Chiefs. And the fourth one was to the Titans in overtime. And then they lost in the playoffs to, they did win the first game, but they lost in a playoffs to the Beals, the 17-3, I think. So my point when I say that, it's crazy that every single loss on Lamar Jackson's record, and then of course this year with the Raiders and the team yesterday, wow, the Bengals. I couldn't remember for a second, but it's crazy that every single Lamar Jackson lost, you can remember off the top of your head, just like that. You can remember off the top of your head because it happens so far and few and it's not a frequent thing. So Lamar Jackson has spoiled this Ravens fan base, spoiled him to where, like I said, when Lamar Jackson and Ravens lose, a lot of fans go crazy, but when Lamar Jackson and Ravens lose, the media's like, man, we've been waiting on these guys to lose for so long, man, what took you so long? Come on Ravens, why don't y'all lose more often? So we can get on Lamar Jackson, we can talk about how bad he is as he's inaccurate, he can't play quarterback, he's a running back, he's this, he's that, he's everything except the quarterback. And then insert Stephen A. Smith with stuff like this. Again, nothing against Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow's nice. He did his thing. And again, like I said earlier, Stephen A. Smith, if he really believes that, if he taking Joe Burrow over Lamar Jackson, no problem with that, but to throw the narrative in there for accuracy, it's like, cause he was like, no, no, no, I'm not talking about how electrifying of a player you are, I'm not talking about playmaking, I'm talking about accuracy. No, accuracy is not a question with Lamar Jackson anymore. And I mean, it should have never been. I think the only reason it was, it became a question was because of media, media spewing that stuff out there continuously. And they still spewing it out there, a lot of them are like Stephen A. and he's one of the more notable names. So that's why these narratives will continue. But hopefully one day, Stephen A. will come to his Stephen A. senses. But until then, it is what it is. Team Keep It Clean, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all and we out.


We've all been watching as the war continues to rage on in Ukraine. From the other side of the world, it's easy to feel like there's not much we can do to help our brothers and sisters who are suffering so. But the Church on the ground in Eastern Europe is strong and is already making an incredible impact. Your partnership has allowed one hope to resource trusted churches and organizations who are rescuing children, aiding in evacuation, opening doors for housing, and providing other essential services. In addition to meeting tangible needs, the Church is also meeting spiritual and emotional needs. Teams are praying with refugees as they cross the border, hosting church services, and sharing a message of hope. Through digital programs, one hope is also able to reach the next generation with the good news. In the midst of fear, children can play with the Bible app for kids and learn about Jesus. While teens scroll social media, they are invited to ask questions about God and talk to a live online missionary through our What If It's True program. I am so grateful for partners like you who are allowing us to respond to immediate needs as they arise in Ukraine. Even after the new cycle stops, I promise you that our teams will not be walking away. We're in this for the long haul.


What's up everyone takedown here today I have gotten my complete set of Tim Horton's NHL mini sticks I'm really excited but I also went and purchased a second McDavid for myself so I can put on display with my Connor McDavid McFarland figures and my other McDavid collectibles so this one's going to be on display with them and the rest are going to be put on display together as a complete set. I purchased one set for myself and I purchased the second set for my girlfriend's grandfather who is a heavy collector as well so I thought he'd really enjoy this so I'm going to be opening up these today they are six dollars at Tim Horton's I know not all Tim Horton's had enough of them in stock and a lot of them are running low which is why I went and called ahead of time and had the manager set everything that I was picking up aside they are six dollars each and for a complete set with tax included is 40 dollars I've already seen them going on eBay for 80 dollars I was going to pick up a set and try to flip on eBay for myself but I'm not going to do that right now just because I don't necessarily agree with it but the money would have been nice what I might do if enough people comment on this video stating that they wished per take in a giveaway I might go back if I can get a complete set and use that as a future giveaway on my channel let me know in the description or in the description let me know in the comments below if you guys would be interested in that kind of giveaway I'll try to go and pick up these pick up a complete set to use as a future giveaway let me know what you guys think on that there is a chance for getting gold sticks though so I'm really excited a lot of people in the Facebook groups I'm in say that these should be wrapped in clear plastic that is not true I called talk to the manager and he said how they receive them is just as is in the box and he stated that you can tell if they already were opened I already opened this one myself but he said you can tell if they've been tampered with but for him personally at this location he keeps them all in his office so there's no employees that are near them at any time so I'm going to start with the one that I keep holding up here the McDavid one and since for myself I plan on keeping the box at least for now I'm just going to put a key in the top and pull up on the box so I don't rip it and that's how I'm going to be opening these up so I can try to keep the box in good condition so the first McDavid it is kind of thin plastic but it is does look does look nice so we're going to open it here and see if it is gold inside I'm assuming not just because it's a small town that I'm in and it is not however this looks really nice the door is a little thin and doesn't stay open right at least in my opinion the stick looks really nice it looks like an insert at the back here it's not a sticker whereas this insert here is a sticker that's pretty nice it has where he lives a couple stats about him and of course the stick I'm not going to take it out but that looks really nice kind of like the McDonald's ones from 06 0708 I think they had them so that's really cool I'm just going to leave that one to the side because that's not in this complete sets and now we're going to go through one by one on these ones here so it looks really nice that one's going to be nice for my McDavid right next to my McDavid figures and the rest are going to be on my uh in a complete set on a shelf so this is Kerry Price I'm not sure if it's just McDavid that has the gold stick or if they all might so we're just going to check them out here that looks really nice not a gold stick but that's fine that looks like a nice stick he's the only goalie in this set which was surprising to me I thought personally I think if this is going to be as successful as it's going to be so far I think that they should do a set a year and they should have a goalie set and regular player sets I think that's likely what they're going to do in the future at least that'd be really cool I'm going to do Mitch Mardiner now open this one up now I'm really surprised that Austin Matthews was not the chosen one for Toronto I think Austin Matthews is a way better player or even John Tavares but Mitch Mardiner is still pretty cool I'm not a fan of Toronto if you guys didn't know that looks pretty nice pretty clean inside at least if I can put it here like this it does cover Kerry Price so I'll leave it like that that looks pretty cool I'm not 100% sure right now how I am going to display these I kind of want to keep the box for now but I don't think I'm going to put them back in the box I might just keep the box in my collection for now and then we will let's see if it's a cool stick no but still pretty nice I'm not sure if I'm going to display them where they're completely open like the Kerry Price one here with the door wide open or if I'm just going to display them closed like that that still looks really nice so I don't know I'm going to have to see how I want to display these up on my shelf and also I'm going to have to clear out a shelf if you guys want to see what my current hockey collectible shelves look like I can do that for a future video if you guys want but right now they are pretty messy I have a lot of stuff I really wish I could find more room for them so right now it's McKinnon just a standard stick inside but these look really nice and clean and crisp they display a little bit better than the mcdonnell ones from back of the day they stay open which I think is really cool Ovechkin right now this might be the only Ovechkin collectible I have that's pretty cool I wasn't expecting my small town to have a to get gold sticks or if they did get very many of them but like I said the manager put them in his back office so I know these ones were not open in ransacks I've seen a lot of people on facebook groups where they open them up and after they open up the actual case here the locker there is inside it's a flower and different things from the employees at Tim Horns the bakers if it was on their hands it when ended up going inside which I'm a hundred percent against they should be leaving it for the competition or just doing it like they do now Sydney Crosby that was really nice I like that so yeah I don't know if I'm going to display them closed like I have the mcdavid one here that still looks really nice or if I'm going to display them open like this that looks even better in my opinion comment down below what you guys think I should do of course if they're open like this it's going to take up more room but I'm really debating on just having them closed and having them all at the back of my collectible shelf or I might put them at the back here for hockey card videos have them kind of at the back I don't know I don't really know what I want to do with them I know I want to display them that's the sole purpose of purchasing them for my complete collection I just don't know right now if I want to display them closed which still looks really nice and you know exactly the players and everything or if I want to display them open because they do look really nice open like that looks awesome that looks incredible I kind of like them open but that's going to take up twice as much space if I keep them like that and I don't even know if I'll be able to put them on a shelf if they're open so I don't know I'll let you guys know in the future if you guys want to see my collectible shelves where I put my personal collection let me know down in the comments below but yeah this is my complete set for Tim Hortons a lot of Tim Hortons are running low on them or at least running low on certain players I ended up calling ahead of time and they set aside two complete sets for myself one for me one for my girlfriend's grandfather who's a collector I wanted to get him that and I also picked up the second mcdavid just to put on my mcdavid shelf this one here the second mcdavid I'm going to leave that open up on the shelf because that looks awesome the complete set at least for now I might leave it all closed when I display it now like I mentioned earlier in the video comment down below if you guys think I should do a giveaway like I said I was going to buy another set try to flip it on ebay double my money but I'm also not not for that I'm kind of against that just because they just came out it is high demand right now some locations are running low so I get why and of course the United States not very many Tim Hortons are over there so I might do purchase a complete set and do as a giveaway in about a month for the channel I'm not a hundred percent sure it depends on if I can get a complete set now or not if I can I might do that I'm not a hundred percent sure so at least these look really nice clean and look awesome and they're going to be a little nice on display even if I just display them closed like this that still will look nice sitting up on my shelf so hope you guys enjoyed this video hope you guys were able to get these mini sticks if not I might do a giveaway but I honestly would recommend staying away from ebay right now because they're charging $20 to ship these are incredibly light so I can't see it being $20 to ship plus they are $80 so you're paying $100 for a complete set that costs you $40 tax in if you buy them at Tim Hortons so just buyer beware but this is a complete set for me I absolutely love them and these are going to be staying in my personal collection I am not selling these ever I really regret selling my mcdonalds ones from back in the way because I had a complete set for both years I really regret doing that so I'm leaving this video here hope you guys enjoyed please take care peace
