Hello, it's Waylon Chow and this is Real and Personal Property, Module 6A, Part A. In this part, we will look at the different types of property in law and focus on personal property. In particular, how do you acquire and lose rights over tangible personal property? Let's look at the types of personal property recognized in law. There are two general types, real property and personal property. Real property is considered to be immovable while personal property is movable. Real property is immovable because it is essentially land. A piece of land is where it is, you cannot move it. Also included in real property is anything attached to land which most notably includes buildings and houses. Personal property or movable property includes tangible and intangible property. Tangible property is also called goods or chattels.  Intangible property has to do with legal rights that you may own. For example, if someone gives you a check, a check is tangible in the sense that it is a piece of paper, but its real value has to do with the legal rights that are attached to having that check, essentially. It gives you a right to go to the bank and exchange that check for cash. Also included most notably in intangible property is any kind of intellectual property which we will deal with in the next module. Things like computer software. While the computer itself is tangible, the software that runs it, the computer code is intellectual property that is owned by someone. Other pieces of intellectual property could be a copyright over music or films or TV shows. All of that is intangible, intangible personal property that someone can have a legal right over. We're going to look at now the various different ways of acquiring and losing ownership or legal rights over tangible personal property. So we have two people. First person is Claire and the other is Bria. Bria is the proud owner of that bike. And Bria wants to sell her bike to Claire for $100. And Claire is very willing to purchase it and hands over $100 to Bria. So because of that exchange, the ownership of the bike has transferred from Bria to Claire. So what's happened here is a purchase by Claire and a sale by Bria through a contract that they've entered into. Let's say now that instead of selling the bike to Claire, Bria wants to just give it to her for free. So she offers the bike for free to Claire and Claire is very willing to take it and is actually very thankful for that. And Bria hands over the bike to Claire. So what has happened here is a gift. The ownership has transferred from Bria to Claire by way of gift. Let's say Bria now absolutely hates her bike and she wants to throw it up. So she picks it up and flings it into the dumpster. So that's called an abandonment. And Claire happens to be walking by the dumpster and sees the bike. And she actually likes the bike and she takes it out and brings it home for her to use. So she's taken possession of the bike and she's become the new owner of that bike. Let's now say that Bria has lost her bike and can't find it. And Claire finds that bike and takes it back home to use as her own. Remember the phrase finders, keepers, losers, weepers? We do know that that phrase might be law on a playground, but is it actual real law? So under property law, Claire as the finder has a right to possess and use that bike over and above anyone else in the world except the actual true owner of the bike which is still Bria. So if Bria finds out that Claire has her lost bike and Bria wants that bike back and Claire legally has to give the bike back to Bria. So the last part of that phrase finders, keepers, losers, weepers? The last part, losers, weepers is not correct law. The Bria as the original owner has a legal right to get the lost property back from Claire. If Bria creates the bike on her own from spare parts, then as the creator she is the first owner of that bike.


We're developers.    If you didn't rush us, then we can give the client what they want. It's not about being facet, it's about being smart. Smart?  We can't keep up with your smart. Maybe if you brought up your issues rather than hiding, we'd get somewhere. And give you more reasons to nitpick everything? Maybe if you did your job right, I wouldn't have to check everything. I'm doing the job of three people here.  Sure, when you start showing real results, then I'll give you some support. Why should I try new things when you shoot every idea down? Must be fun to play it safe all the time. It's not about playing it safe, it's... Think about me trying to dive into every half-baked idea that you have. You gotta think it through first. I did think it through. And that's why I say.


I think consumers are already seeing the really simple stuff in devices like especially Fitbits, health trackers, apple watches and so on, but at the same time a huge amount of investment is going into the more sophisticated machine to machine tools, whether that is in smart cars, smart meters, smart parking. I think it might really take non-technical consumers by surprise over the next 12 to 24 months that there's just such a wave of these products going to be springing up in front of them. I just walking around my neighbourhood the other day in London saw that our local council is doing a trial of smart parking sensors, which surprised me.


This review has been a long time coming because of my internet so before we even start with the video I want to apologize to the author. He sent me the book for review and I'm just now getting this review shot and uploaded so my apologies to him. Thank you so much for the review copy on with the review. Hello everybody! E here. Welcome back to another book review. Today we are talking about Michael Brent Colling's Stranger Still. The first thing that I want to talk about with this book is something I had no idea when I signed up for an ARC the author approached me and said hey look you know I wear big boy pants I want you to review my stuff be brutally honest and I like to cut of his jib so I said yes. I do not take review requests normally but he did such a good job approaching me that I was honored to take the book. Honored to try to read the book. But yeah this one follows like I was saying before we even get started this is a sequel or a continuation to his book Stranger from what I've read from other reviews I had no idea and the reason why I'm bringing this up at the beginning of the review is because I want to let you guys know that so you grab that one first in case you don't watch the entire video. The problem with that is and the reason why I knocked off a star is I had no idea the other book even existed. That's not a huge issue but in this one I felt like I was missing something. Whether or not I was or not I felt like I was missing something. So that is my one criticism but I went back and I read other reviews and other people were saying this was a continuation of his book Stranger and I will be going back and checking that one out. A message to the author I am now a fan of your work so I will be checking out as much as I possibly can no need to send me any more ARCs I want to support you I will buy the rest of them.  The back and forth between Legion and his well not Legion but I'll call it his brothers I'm trying not to spoil anything but the back and forth between Legion and his brothers is a lot of fun if a might repetitive you get to the point where it's like okay we understand who they are just cut it back and around that time what I mean by cut it back is that he gives like this a bigger name than there should be I don't want to spoil anything for you because I want you to read it for yourself but then he chops it down to just a one word and the story flows much much better after that point the brutality and the violence is on point there were several times in this book your boy cringed and I know all you guys are out there cringing right now because I said your boy but you'll be all right at least there isn't a raid shadow legends add on this video so much okay so but this one is it it's just a lot of fun I don't I don't know how else to put it um is it great literature no is it a shit ton of fun yes it is it is but it is well above like schlocky B horror content you do have that content but you also have really well-developed characters there are two that are very very similar that kind of caught me off guard because well I didn't really confuse them but it was but then it was explained why they are like that like I don't think this too much of a spoiler but there's two characters in this book who both named their guns after certain figures those figures are similar similar and it almost caused me to roll my eyes but then he explains it and every time that I felt like I was reading something where I didn't trust the author the author would come up and I'm calling the author because I don't know whether or not to call him Michael or Michael Brent and Michael Brent is a mouthful so here we are but the author sorry I screw up everybody's names but with this I I trust it I came to trust him and the reason why I'm going to be going through his entire back catalog is because now I trust him the book is very very well edited is very clean I'm not sure if it is an independent it seems to be an independent release it might not be I apologize for not researching that beforehand I'm trying to shoot a bunch of these videos all at one time so my apologies but this one the character development like I said was on point there there came a time when I didn't like anybody in the book and then I started liking certain ones again I feel like that was intended by by the by the author I do feel it was intended I think the only person that I actually liked was the female lead I finished this one ages ago it's been months since I finished the book and I don't remember character names I apologize I've already listened to and read another 20 30 books since then but this it's a lot of fun I honestly don't know how is to put that the bonsai tree is a plus you'll know what I'm talking about when you read the book I thought that in fact his characters reminded me a lot of Michael not Michael of Robert McCammon in in that in their quirks there's one character in here especially that reminded me of the main not the main character but the character in gone south the one with the secret under his shirt I don't want to get too far into it but it reminded me of Robert McCammon it's not as over I don't want to say overwritten it's not as wordy as a McCammon but it definitely the characters definitely felt very McCammon ish and I'd like to know Michael Brent Michael what what is he an inspiration of yours I know you're gonna watch this is he an inspiration I just want to know but anyways this comes highly recommended for me maybe not my highest recommendation but if you're looking for fun horror this this is a book for you I once again I just want to make sure you guys know that I got the book for free but that did not color my my review at all there's been numerous books I've gotten for free that I've utterly trounced and destroyed here on the channel I hope that lends some I hope that gives you guys some kind of trust in me but anyways this one four stars easy have you read this yeah you plan to read it let me know whether or not you liked it or not down there in the doobly-doo if you did like it let me know why if you didn't like it let me know why you didn't like it so we can have a discussion but until next time I have been E you've been you this been another book review I'll talk to you guys later bye


2 into 10 to the power minus 3 and root 3 by 0.866 and root 3 also sometime people don't even remember root 3 value because head times values are given like that okay that they will tell you delta t is 1.732 but that thing will never strike in your head okay root 3 is coming in dynamite I will cancel it one by one next question no breaks today a circular coil a u it's fun right you don't need breaks you know every time you are fighting for me circular coil of radius 10 centimeter and number of turns 500 I will give 2 minutes number of turns is 500 and okay this is radius I will call this as a because r I have to use for a distance red distance is 2 ohms okay it is placed with its plane perpendicular to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field are you getting it you don't have to write all that don't write the story just imagine what is happening here this is only data is this much data is this much and then it is placed perpendicular to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field so how it is placed like this horizontal component getting it it is rotated about its vertical diameter through 180 degrees it is rotated by 180 degrees in 0.25 seconds 10.25 seconds horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is 3 into 10 is 4 minus 5 tesla fine you need to get the value of emf current and the charge that has flown through the coil yeah charge that is flown through the road in this time because the emf and current how much initial flux is what initial flux is b into a into cos of what cos of 0 final flux is what b into a into cos of 180 degrees see you can choose your area vector initially like this fine once you have chosen this this area vector becomes fixed it rotates with a coil also you can't be like okay after it rotates I will chain my area vector like that no you can choose once once you have chosen like this it is fixed if coil rotates the area vector also rotates fine the final this is equal to minus ba initial is b into a so changes what minus 2 into ba fine so minus of delta 5 by delta t is the emf that is 2 ba divided by delta t this is emf e and current is what 1 by r times 2 ba by delta t and one thing you have to notice here that there are number of terms what you should do here multiply with n how you get delta q what is emf minus of d5 by dt fine current is what 1 by r d5 by dt fine current is also dq by dt right dt and dt gone so you get dq is equal to minus of d5 by r so when you integrate this you will get delta q is equal to minus of change in flux by r or magnitude of charge that has been passed across is magnitude of change in flux divided by resistance so you just divide the change in flux with the resistance you will get the charge that has flown across get the values here is 3.8 into tensor minus 3 minus 3 3.8 tensor minus 3 how much you got flux 3 pi into tensor minus 7 so 2 times of that into 500 divided by 0.25 or you made calculation that I cannot do this 3.8 into tensor minus 3 1.2 pi is 3.8 but then you are handicapped after 1.2 pi you are not able to proceed you are not able to multiply 1.2 with pi any doubt no doubt


From the early 1970s, there were dire warnings of a new Ice Age coming fast. Multiple media sources were telling the public about the coming Ice Age. In order to give a feel of the sort of panic that was being spread amongst the public at this time, I am going to show clips of a long-lost film, The Coming Ice Age, and I'm also going to make comments as we go through the film. In 1977, the worst winter in a century struck the United States. Arctic cold gripped the Midwest for weeks on end. Climate experts believe the next Ice Age is on its way. According to recent evidence, it could come sooner than anyone had expected. At weather stations in the far North, temperatures have been dropping for 30 years. Free of summer ice are now blocked year-round. According to some climatologists, within a lifetime, we might be living in the next Ice Age. Most of the inhabitants are Inuit Eskimos, whose ancestors migrated west from Greenland a thousand years ago. Today, the island is poised on the brink of Ice Age conditions, a critical signal post for changes in the Earth's climate. According to geologists, the last major Ice Age began on Baffin Island 115,000 years ago. Perpetual snow spread southward over the continents. The weight of many years of snow compressed into ice. The ice grew thicker until it covered Canada, the Northern United States, and Europe to a depth of two miles. For 100,000 years, the ice remained over large areas of the continents. Then, it retreated to the Arctic. And for the last 10,000 years, we have flourished in a warm interglacial period. Dr. Gifford Miller is a glaciologist from the University of Colorado. He's been studying the climate and glaciers of Baffin Island for the past six years. For the last 3,000 years, the summer temperatures have been getting colder, and the amount of precipitation and rainfall and snowfall has decreased, and the conditions have been drier and colder. And at the same time, the glaciers have expanded. And the most recent expansion, which occurred between 300 years ago and the turn of the present century, the glaciers attained their most extensive positions that they had during the last 8,000 years. The summer of 1972 was one of the most severe summers on record, and the ice never melted that summer. We turned to Broughton Island, one of the local settlements here, talking to the Inuit people, and they could only tell me that their fathers had told them of a time when the ice hadn't gone out. This once-in-a-lifetime summer ice has surprised old-time Arctic residents. Ernie Sieber is superintendent of Baffin Island National Park and has lived in the Arctic for over 20 years. In 1973, we had ice all over the East Coast. Some of the ice in the fjords didn't even leave, and almost every year since, we had ice moving out of the fjords, so it looks like the climate has changed. It looks like it turned colder. Since concern for our weather has increased, the park wardens now take daily records of temperatures, wind, and solar radiation. Weather data from stations all over the Arctic is collected and fed into central computers. Balloons are launched every day to monitor the winds and temperatures and high altitudes. The data shows that average temperatures in the Arctic have fallen dramatically over the last 30 years. In most locations, the drop has been about 2 degrees centigrade. At that rate, the descent to ice age temperatures could take less than 200 years. It is not only the lonely Arctic that has cooled, the whole northern hemisphere is growing steadily colder. There is little doubt that someday the ice will return. At least eight times in the past million years, it has advanced and retreated with clockwork regularity. If we are unprepared for the next advance, the result could be hunger and death on a scale unprecedented in all of history. What scientists are telling us now is that the threat of an ice age is not as remote as they once thought. During the lifetime of our grandchildren, Arctic cold and perpetual snow could turn most of the inhabitable portions of our planet into a polar desert. In Greenland, the snows of centuries have piled up on the largest ice cap in the northern hemisphere. Scientists have recently discovered evidence of a climatic catastrophe. Drilling down over 1,400 meters, geologists have collected precious samples of ancient ice. Some of it fell as snow over 100,000 years ago. The ice has shipped south, where it has kept frozen at minus 35 degrees and carefully divided up for study. By separating out the two forms of oxygen in the ice, scientists have been able to chart the temperatures when it fell as snow. Near the bottom of the ice cap, they found traces of widespread freezing occurring with dramatic suddenness. Dr. Chester Langway is chairman of the geology department at the State University of New York, Buffalo. We have evidence from the ice core studies that approximately 89,000 years ago, the global climate changed from one of greater warmth than today into one of glacial severity. It is possible that we may enter into such a cold climate almost instantaneously in the very near future. If the climate does suddenly cool, will we survive the change? 18,000 years ago, Manhattan Island was buried under a mile of ice. With the Hudson River flows today, there was a huge glacier. Pack ice filled the ocean off Long Island. We're only beginning to understand the cyclic history of the ice, but evidence is mounting that another ice age is due. The most persuasive data comes from beneath the sea. The research ship Vima sails the world's oceans, taking samples of sediments deposited long ago. A crew of scientists rig a long cylinder and drop it vertically to the ocean floor. The cylinder dredges up mud from the seabed in the form of long cores. The types of tiny fossils found at different levels in the core shows the sea temperatures of the past. Geologists have collected enough sea cores to form a detailed history of climate during the last million years. The cores are analyzed at the Lamont-Daherty Geological Laboratory of Columbia University. Dr. James Hayes leads the research. The climatic record in these deep sea cores tells us that there have been eight ice ages in the last 700,000 years. It also tells us when they have occurred. This provides us with a test of various theories of the ice ages. We now have a theory that tells us that changes in the shape of the Earth's orbit act as a pacemaker for the ice age succession. Since this theory can precisely predict when ice ages occurred in the past, which can be tested against these deep sea cores, it also can predict when ice ages will occur in the future. From this theory we can say with confidence that we are currently heading toward another ice age. In the winter of 1976-77, one storm after another buried the northeast under record amounts of snow. Months of brutal cold made much of the nation seem like the Arctic. Chicago temperatures hovered at 19 degrees below zero, Dayton 21 degrees below zero, Cincinnati 25 degrees below zero. But just as today, with scientists not all agreeing on the global warming alarmism, not all scientists agreed in the 1970s on the coming ice age. But enough scientists agreed on the coming ice age to actually write as a group from a conference to President Nixon with a letter warning him of the coming ice age. We have just shown you a warning evidence of the cooling of the planet from the 1940s to the 1970s. And as you have already been shown, this cooling was across the entire northern hemisphere and whilst the evidence in the southern hemisphere was meager, it certainly extended as far as South Africa. So it was a pretty worldwide phenomenon. And there were humming and now familiar tune. A tune that demanded world government cope with the ice age coming problem. But all these predictions were wrong. And the world now in the 80s started to warm. Just as it had done in this report from 1902 with the Arctic warming caused the buildup to some very hot times in the 1930s. Hence there was a clear warming cycle up to the 1930s and then the 1940s cooling and the 1980s warming. And looking at this USA 1999 NASA graph, you can see how the temperatures were. They built up from the 1900. And there in 1921 you have the big peak as detailed in the newspaper report you've just seen. And there again in 1936, another big peak. But the averages there show a buildup to the 1930s just into the 40s. And then we start to decline just as we've seen in the film. There's a decline since the 40s for about 30 years to the 70s and during the 70s. But then it start to pick up again. So what we're seeing is cycles. Now there's a problem with this 1999 chart from NASA. It didn't reflect the growing CO2. In other words, why when the CO2 was very low was it hotter in the 1930s than today? But clearly the alarmist couldn't allow this. So you're not going to believe this. They just did all the temperatures going back in history. And the result was this graph. So in the space of just two years there's been a major change in the historic temperatures. Now the 1930s here are a much lower temperature than the year 2000. You see now it more or less conforms to the CO2 rise. So how could anyone have changed the temperature graph so much making it to the same scale? Just let's look at the two temperature curves. Well for a start they do away with the 1921 heatwave. It's pretty cold in 1921 according to this chart. And of course whilst it's warmer in 1936 nothing like today which is absolutely absurd. It just ignores all history and all the temperature records taken at the time. Then instead of the nice sharp drop we had at the Ice Age Comet from the 1940s into the 70s. Whilst there is some drop they have minimized it trying to flatten it out a bit. It just ignores all the history. But after this in fact they start to instead of be lowering the old temperatures they start to increase them. And let's look at how all this was achieved because what they've done is depress the heat of the past before 1940 after the 1970s cooling period. This is the zero line the line at which no adjustment for that year has been made. So when you're below the line you deduct the temperatures that were red and when you're above that line you add on to the temperature readings. So what is being claimed here is quite absurd that all the people right before 1940 managed to over read the temperatures so all those had to be deducted and lowered. There were enormous between 1914 and 1970 when we mess about a bit but after that everyone seemed to underestimate the temperatures and so we had to add to those temperatures an adjustment. Of course the result of all this was you lowered the past increase of future and somehow conformed to the CO2 growth rather than the original temperatures of 1999 and before which certainly did not. Then lo and behold we now have the blue dots as the temperatures and that straight line as the CO2 growth. So they can publish the graph showing that CO2 causes that direct temperature rise. The 70s alarm period well that's just still a little bit of growth throughout that that decline has completely gone. But this changing of historic temperatures did not just stop there they couldn't help fiddle a little bit more and so if you look at the latest one what you see is a very cool 1920s you know that 1921 heat wave and then you build up a bit to the 1930s but these were still pretty cold and then that cooling period from the 40s to the 70s well that's now not a cooling period anymore all that you've heard about with those rapid drops in temperature in the whole of the northern hemisphere and quite a big part of the southern hemisphere gone. It's worth pointing out something that's on all the alarmist charts they actually have a temperature range of around about one and a half degrees from the bottom to the top quite a small range but further they're not temperatures as such they're temperature anomalies and that anomaly means they compare the temperatures to a certain fixed 30 year period and in this case they've chosen the 1951 to 1980 period so these are the differences between that 30 year period and the actual temperature so it's a very distorted picture because that period they've chosen is a very cool period so if you're comparing it to the cooling period as they pretty well are you're going to get bigger temperature rises showing up and if you compare it to another 30 year period every single alarmist temperature graph everywhere is based on temperature anomalies compared to a given 30 year period and it's important to know which period they've chosen in this case they've chosen a cool period to show the temperatures and this is why by the way in that cool period that we know actually existed they've had to really lower the past to make it even cooler no matter where you look in the world you will find this distortion of the historic data taking this record of Reykjavik and Iceland there were times in that cooling period when the harbour was totally frozen over you couldn't get into it but all that gets changed with the history change so these temperature changes go against all sorts of overwhelming evidence to prove they were wrong looking at the original Reykjavik data you see the same old cycle that we had prior to 1999 and the subsequent distortion of history by the alarmists this original temperature graph is in degree centigrade, straight forward and it shows pretty high temperatures in the 30s and 1940-ish but look after this adjustment a simply massive deduction in temperatures to meet the agenda we are now in a world where you cannot trust the media one time they say the ice age is coming and giving all the scientific evidence the next time they say global warming is coming what we don't have these days is an honest debate because the alarmists do not allow it and when scientists do not allow discussion and debate it's no longer science I was privileged quite recently to be able to challenge the author of the best-selling climate alarmist book out there and when I challenged him on the data that he compared his theory against his scientific work against he couldn't answer me he said Paul I don't know this subject in other words he'd taken the misleading data the sort of trumped-up data I've shown you to prove his theory and so perpetuating the CO2 myth and how it tallies with the temperatures over the last 150 years which it does not


What makes for excellence in heart care? It starts with one of the most amazing teams of heart surgeons and cardiologists that I've seen assembled under one roof and the region's leading technology in a new 40 million dollar facility. This is the nationally recognized Heart and Vascular Institute of Eastern Kentucky at Pikeville Medical Center. The Pikeville family area YMCA is taking initiative to better the community's overall health and well-being with their wellness Wednesdays. Every Wednesday there will be a new service offered at the Y that will either increase health awareness or offer different types of health checks to the public. These services are made possible through numerous partnerships the Y has maintained over the years. We started with Wellness Wednesdays with in-house with our employees so we would have little initiatives to do like to increase our water, to increase exercise, to make better food choices and we decided after the first of the year where that's kind of like a reboot for people reset and we thought that it would be a good idea to maybe give them opportunities to find out what's what's available to them as far as services within our area. Pikeville Medical Center, ARH, Pike County Health Department and Mountain Comprehensive Care Center are just a few of the organizations participating each Wednesday. Non-members can also attend Wellness Wednesdays free of charge. Information about upcoming services can be found on the YMCA Facebook page. We have a menagerie of different programs and organizations that offer so many different things that can be beneficial to each person if they want to use them. So instead of us trying to do everything we want to include these other partners that we have so that they're able to help with the progress of people's health and wellness. We have a different person that we reach out to each week. So far you know we've had PMC, we've had the Pike County Health Department, Klein's Medical Group just to name a few and they offer different things. They may come up here and do blood pressures and glucose checks or they may just give information about what they're offering just a lot of information to help that person to make decisions in what role that they would like to go forward in their life. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.


Okay, so now we know what we do in the arena, where the scoring points are. It's time to pick our team. I can't wait. Now, unusually, Martin, this is a bit different to a game like Vanguard, where you have your own warband or Dread Ball, where you have a team. Now, what we are is we are fantastic, famous coaches. We travel around the galaxy in a space shuttle with our entourage and fans. We get to an arena, and then what we actually do then is when we get to the arena, we pick our players. So here, we've got the six players, or giants, from the core game. And what we do in the standard game, they all line up here, waiting to be chosen. So it's a bit like when you're in the school playground, and you want to choose your favorites, you put them on your team. So it's the technical term, it's drafting. Are there any other ways to draft you want to get into that now, or is that something for a later video? Well, what we'll do is we'll draft our team now. We'll show you how the simple mechanic works, and then I'll talk about what would happen if you want to have a little bit more advanced drafting. Yes, of course. So I'm the home player. I get to go first. So what you do is you look at these, and you think, okay, well, which sort of character do I want to play? So they're all very different. And so just a quick question. So when you're picking your three, are you aiming for kind of individuals, or would you have a kind of synergy in mind? I think it's totally up to the coach. I mean, personally, I just choose the ones I like the most individually. But I know in the past, you've looked at ones that are synergetic. Synergistic. Synergistic, there we go. And you can look how their abilities might combine, or even how their overdrive might combine or something. So you could even have a bit of both. So you could have maybe two synergize in one, like a lone hero, almost go and do stuff on his own. Yeah, exactly. So that's a really good way. So there's lots of different tactics. And when we talk about the advanced kind of drafting, you'll see there's even more mental mind games. Fantastic. So I'll be the first player. Now, as you know, Martin, I like slightly weird, quirky characters. So I'm going to pick Cynic Docker, the space jellyfish, because they have a really good move where they can mind control characters. So I basically just take it, put it on my side, and now I've chosen that character. So now it's up to you.  So, you know, there's only, there's a couple that might fit that, but there is one that absolutely stands out, and that is carried on the shark. Shark face. So you'll be my first pick. Okay. Now, what you've picked carried on, he's very, very good at hitting quite strong, quite fast as well. So I think I want something a bit more defensive this time. So I'm going to go for Dozer, the Teraton, who is able to hide in her shell when things get a bit too scary. Very you know. Yeah, yeah. I'm thinking maybe to help pull and push characters in the way, maybe set up, carried on for some tasty slams. I'll take the spawn because he can pull people out of position and maybe set those up in the game. Yeah, particularly in this mode, actually positioning and being able to move other players around is really key because if you know, if I'm studying one of these scoring zones and you want to get me out, then actually pulling is a really great way to get me out. Yeah, that too. Yeah. The scoring zone thing. You're just thinking about hitting me. That's fine. Okay. Well, I've got quite a good defensive option here. I think I want someone who's going to be a guaranteed hitter, a bit tougher as well. I think I will finally go for Brank Reborn. Okay. So as I was saying on the preamble, I think these two work quite well from a synergy point of view. And to, I think to round that off, I think Scarathon works quite well in that as well because he is very good from range. Yeah. So he can potentially put wounds on ranged, from range, which sets up Carradon to do his overdrive ability, which we'll talk about later. Yeah, so actually, so in the core game, Scarathon is the only one with a ranged attack. So that's quite a good little tactic there. I think I've got a bit of a mixture there. I've got some hard hitting, some movement shenanigans, and also some ranged attack. Yeah. Okay, so now we've drafted our team. If you were playing sort of in a league or in a tournament, you would probably do the advanced drafting. So that's a bit more tactical, I guess. What would happen is you would line up your six characters here.  And then what we do is we actually take it in turns to choose our three players from our own lineup. But what would happen is, if we had the same player, for example, I had Brank, you had Brank, if I select Brank first, it means that you can't select them. So it's almost like that mental mind games where you're looking at their selection and thinking, okay, what sort of game are they going to play, and then trying to get first blood by taking away some of their favorite characters. And I guess that also helps promote not just playing with the same three all the time, to have a bit of a mixture of different giants. So if you do suffer that when you're drafting, that you're able to play the game with not just your favorite three, but maybe the secondary. Yeah, and it also, I think one of the key things about Overdrive actually means that every single, you know, new giant, new player that we released can be used in your team. So it's not like, I don't know if you know, Martin, but I like goblins. Do you? Yeah, so obviously when a new goblin release comes out, I'm really excited. When a dwarf comes out, I spit on the floor. So the great thing about when we release new players for Overdrivers, you can immediately sort of add them into your roster potentially and start using them. So all releases are kind of usable via everyone. And the notice there aren't actually any goblins, and are you upset about that? Not yet. There's plenty of time. Okay, so now we've drafted our team, let's get set up and start slamming. So we've selected our teams now, and it's time to start setting up so we can get stuck in. So you've selected your team, I've selected the winning team? Sure, let's go with that. So what happens is, I set up all my players first, and what I can do is I can put them in any of the scoring zones on my side. Now, obviously, in the first rush, none of the scoring zones are active. We're just all about getting kind of stuck in, kind of maneuvering our and positioning ourselves to get ready for the second rush when one of these will be from active. So depending on what sort of player you are, you might want to be defensive and sort of hold them back to begin with, or you might want to get sort of in your face and start playing. So I set up on mine first. So Sync Docker is quite weak. So I'm going to keep them at the back here. Doze is pretty tough, but she's slow. So we've got a move of four. So I'm going to put her here. And then finally, I've got Brank. Now Brank is a bit of a beast. He's quite tough, good at slamming, and also can reduce the amount of wounds he takes. I'm not too worried about him, so I'm going to put him there. So once I've set up mine, you sort of have a little bit of a bandage because you can see how I've positioned myself and you can respond to that. Okay, so I know these two are tough as nails. So I'm thinking maybe I should go with Karadon over here to try and hunt down your jellyfish. Yep. I've got the spawn, who I'm going to put here. Hopefully move you around a little bit. Yep. And then I've got Scarathon over here so I can start doing some ranged attacks. Okay, so now we're all set up. We kind of know what's in the arena. We know how to score. One thing as well actually talking about scoring is, now I've talked about these active scoring zones. So for those, you'll get a point or you'll get a bonus point if you're stood like that in the scoring zone. So you can potentially get two points if you're stood here like that. What you can also do is you can also score points by knocking out your opposition. And that's an immediate score. So these are at the end of the rush. But if I manage to knock you out, that's an immediate one point to me. So for example, because this is definitely what's going to happen, you know, Brandt would come over here, Slam Karadon to oblivion, and then I'd get a point and that would come. Ding, ding, to me like that. So there are two, in this mode of play, there are two different ways to score. You can either secure the active scoring zones by kind of like King of the Hill, I guess if you're playing a video game, or you can punch people and take them out or use the range of time. So there are two different ways to score, so that's worth bearing in mind when you're starting to play. So now we're all set up. I think we're ready to start moving around and slamming and doing all that.


Welcome. This is either the really late or the really early or the in between show I think for everybody. Hillary and I were talking about how some are going to bed after this and some are right in the middle and I think some are just now waking up and getting ready to start the second day of the Connectathon. So welcome everybody. We've got a full house in here as well. Start letting us know what team you're on. Type in your team name and let us know. And while you guys also do that, we're going to talk a little bit about stats today and we're going to show two quick tips. I want to let everybody know that I'm filling in for Alish. I am not good at stats, so don't expect Alish out of me. He will be back tomorrow and the next day as well. So let us know. And we've got a lot of people. So we've got a lot of super Aussie genies in the house. So Northwest Terriers as well, Legacy Hares, the Southern Cross Stars, and Mighty Oaks is in the house. Kiwi Crew, the Tavelin tortoises are representing. So we've got quite a bit. We've got somebody from France too. Woke up an hour ago. You're ready to go. Okay, let me tell you guys too. If you do not know, if this is your first time at the Hangout, I'm going to tell you guys a word to type. You're going to type it. It can be capitalized or in a sentence, however you want to do it, it is cousins. And when you type that word, we will do a prize drawing at the end of the show. So type the word cousins. It is plural. And let's see how many we can get. So we have to find out what the prize is. The prize, I do not. I do not. It's a surprise prize. Oh, okay. It's a surprise prize. So what have you guys been working on? What have you guys been doing? I know, Hillary, you guys have been working on a lot of things behind the scenes, cleaning up and doing a whole bunch of things with profiles and from the whales too. Yeah, my team decided not to join the thumb this time. So we are doing some cleaning up of the whales profiles, cleaning up the jet coms and doing some sourcing and generally tidying up things that may be connected to the whales project. So very worthy. Like my son's teacher used to say, do worthy work, worthy work in, that's worthy work. Kathy, what do you work in on? I don't know. I'm all over the place. Yeah. Now I left Darren and David to the last because you two are kind of working together on something really cool, right? Well, our whole team is. Yeah. Yeah. What team? The Globe Trotters. Globe Trotters. Yeah, we are trying to make at least one connection for every one of our global countries. And that's been interesting. I got distracted because while I was doing Indora, I came across a murder. Oh. Yeah. And I wound up spending too much time reading and not making profiles. Beyond 1830 Baroness who had a stalker. Oh, really? When they found out, they shipped him off to Galatia. He was in Spain. And but before he went, he hid in the bushes and she went to go to the theater. He jumped out and murdered her. What year was this around? 1830s, I think. Wow. Well, I'm kind of impressive that you're researching that part back as well. You know. And then her husband, like two months later, got remarried so he wouldn't mourn for a long time. No, no. And it looks like Robert was saying that the Swedish archives, unreachable, the whole weekend, that should not happen on a thawing weekend. That's terrible. Hang in there. Hang in there. They will go fix it sooner than later. Seems to happen like everywhere. It's like, like, museum, their beating, our beating, so it goes down. I've heard it, that it happens in the, for Australian sites. And I was going to say, too, I know that family search, they always do an update.  And most of the time, we survive it. It's really quick. It's really easy sometimes. So I think it was like last year, it was down for quite a bit. And I want to let everybody know that I put guess the connectathon total in the chat. Go up and put your vote in. And Darren is go over some stats to help us kind of understand what these divisions are, what's going on. We have something called divisions. So let's see if we can figure out the divisions and also what the number for the chat is. But I do need to tell you that if you are interested on guessing the total, definitely be here this time tomorrow because the LESH is much better at this than I am. Okay, Darren, let's talk a little bit about these hats. And what in the world are divisions? Well, a base thing means that we're not just saying Appalachia winning everything. So, so it's divided. We've divided the, oh, sorry. Sorry, I think I'm new to myself. We've divided the teams have divided into three groups. So the vision one is the smallest amount of people in the group. The vision two is sort of the medium groups. And then the vision three is the super groups. The ones that have got some, quite a lot of people. And I should mention too, you might see a couple of new teams here as you're looking at the screen. And for example, Newt A and Newt B, the reason why there's an A and B is because if you reach signups for your particular THON team at 50, once you get to 51, Wiki Tree asks you to split your team just to make it fair for everybody. So one team had 75 and everybody else had 40 that doesn't quite equal it out and make it fair. So that's why you see two new teams that are there and also great guardians. They're new and they're in the larger team as well. So where would you like me to start? Would you like to start at the smaller team? Yeah, we'll start at the smaller team. Okay, so the smaller team and Kathy, look. Sorry, I keep on having wrongs. Oh, you've got 17 teams in the vision one. And you've got the flying Dutchman, who's the second place there. There's 797 profiles for that team, pretty good. And Team Italy, 860 profiles. So you can see by the spread that the teams and the vision minus sort of evenly splurge. And you've got quite a few teams that are higher than other divisions, but it's equal in these teams. If Friday, when the thong starts, a lot of people are still at work. So these numbers will get much interesting tomorrow on the weekend. Some of you are ready tomorrow. I guess we all are pretty much. Kathy, are you tomorrow already? Yes. I think you're the only one in our group that's the furthest back on the time zone. And then division two was kind of in between, right, Darren? Kind of in between the really big and the smaller. Yes, so the budget two is, I only got 12 teams this time, so I'm not sure why we've got 17 in the budget one and 12 in the other two divisions. You've got Kiwi crew, 957. So getting close to the past 1000, yeah, that's pretty good. And sort of most of Kiwi crew sort of got to be ending the day because eight o'clock here in New Zealand. And then you've got the Germany genies at 1,580. And they're just starting their day. Yeah, they're starting the day. Okay, then as we come up to the larger group, so this is gonna be the more team mates per group for I think they started about 26 members and go up to 50. Yeah, thank you. So you've got some new groups in there like the Grave Guardians and the new teams. Most of these teams have sort of been around a lot, quite a few times, a few times and they know how to do this stuff. So second place, you've got Marty Oates at 2,238. And then of course, Appalachia Bruce, question biscuits, you've got 5,340. Few of us have not slept yet. We're still going to, but the question came earlier, what are the divisions, what are they about? And basically you're looking at size, each team, each division, excuse me, has a different size. So division one has less members in their team. Division two is kind of the middle ground and then division three is the larger groups. When a team gets 50 sign ups, if they get to 51, then they split and that's why you see new A and new B, the new team. And you can win, each division winner gets the winner badge for their profiles. So that kind of talks about the stats there and we are now up to 27,672 profiles. So that's pretty good. I know everybody's going to ask me how we were doing this time last year and I've got an answer for you. I'm not sure, but I know a rash. We'll know tomorrow that I do know. But a few people were asking what the total was last year in the total last year was 98,937. So I'm going to ask everybody that's in chat and everybody that's here with me, are we going to do it? Are we going to break the 100 mark? What do you guys think? No idea. No idea.  I shouldn't say ever because it was a long time ago. Yeah, I think it has happened. Does it happen? Yeah, I think so. So we got a lot of answers here. It's kind of a mixed bag, what everybody thinks. And thank you, Kathy, for putting this up. This kind of talks about the team size that we have and explains it a little bit more. Okay, so I'm going to leave it up to Alish to kind of bring this into perspective tomorrow. Remember, he's going to be back at the 4 a.m. slot for the next two 4 a.m. slots. But I think, why don't we go over quickly? The word again is cousins, plural. So if you want to be in the drawing for the prize, then type in cousins. If you have won a prize in the past six months from Winky Tree and that includes Arbingo that David and I do, you are not eligible to win again. So it's like a six month break that you take from playing for the prizes. And that's just to keep it fair. So everybody gets a chance to win a prize. Now, how would you guys like to see some new things that have been going on behind the scenes that the developers have been doing? I have two new tricks to show you guys that are kind of interesting. And if you are part of the connectors project, you already know this one, that's right. I know, Darren, I gotta tell you, if you're part of the connectors project is fantastic because Darren's in connectors discord a lot showing people how to connect. And also we see a lot of connections that people will put up. So if you're doing the connectors project, it's really fascinating to see the work that everybody does. Okay, does everybody see what I call the little orange puzzle man up here? That used to be only if you were part of the connectors project. And now Ian has given it to everybody. And what does that mean?  But if you see the puzzle man, that means this is not connected to the big tree. And I'll show you real quick.  And if you don't remember this, just look through your options and look for connector jigsaw puzzle symbol as used by connectors and just turn it on. And then that way you'll see the orange man. Now, here's something Darren, I think we should let everybody know. Let's say that you're working on this particular profile and you connect them to the big tree in the next five minutes. That puzzle man is still gonna stay. Yeah. And about how long does he stay? It's really hard to say because I always tell people overnight because where I am, it's almost overnight. But where you are, you probably see it at a different time. It might be during the day. I think it's usually about 10 o'clock in the morning. For you. At all late. I haven't actually sort of paid much attention to it. Because I use one of the other methods to say you have a profile connected. It just remember, so if you connect to the big tree in the next five minutes, the puzzle man will still stay there. It takes a while because what happens is when a less runs the reports overnight in the database does its run, then it checks and looks at what's connected along with a lot of other things, categories, CC seven, things like that, errors. And then this puzzle man will disappear. But in theory, if you see it, chances are it is not connected to the big tree. Now, another thing that I wanna show you that's really cool and this one is really branded. The puzzle man's about a month old for everybody to get it. But the next one is how many times have you created a profile from scratch and you save it? Then you gotta go back into the profile because you wanna add a category, say the location or something like that. Now you can do the category as you're creating the profile. So I'm just going to go and say add sibling. Let me come up and use my sorcerer and save the person's data. And I'm gonna come over here and dump the data here. But look what we got, this new little box. So before we wouldn't be able to put the categories here. Most of us recognize that you put the categories above the biography and you have those little boxes that you can search by. Well, now you have this.  Whoops. And there it is. So all I gotta do, it pops up. I just click on it. It automatically puts it above the biography because that's where categories go. And then if everything looks good, you can continue and you double check for duplicates. I've already done that. So none of these come over to your new profile and you have your category. Pretty cool. So you can do everything. You can do locations if you know their occupation. You can do that. If you know there's cemetery, you could add there's Simcat right there as you're creating. And instead of having to create, come back, go back into the edit screen and type everything in there. So pretty quick and easy. And I will tell you that the person who created that is in the chat. That's Flo who did that. Ian did the Puzzle Man and Flo did the category. So thanks so much. And I should mention as well, I'm sorry Flo, your arrow keys. So if you don't want to use your mouse and you like using your keyboard, you can also use the arrow keys for that. And thanks Shonda. The category edition is great. It's been adding the infant mortality categories as in terms of the profile. So that's a little way that you can enter different types of categories. What do you guys generally enter for categories? Do you enter the cemeteries? Do you enter the locations? Locations normally for birth at least. I've been updating some things recently and I've just used the auto categories for it. Because once you put the categories in, once you put the locations in, it will find the main locations in the birth and the death and the marriage ones it'll find. Well, Hillary, now I'm going to ask you a question because I know that you're sitting in Wales right now. And for the location category for Wales, are they really this long? I mean, do they really, I mean, locate the letters in a town name in Wales? Yeah. Well, I mean, if you get the longest name in one, if you're local, you just shorten it to slunfair PG because it's just so much easier than slunfair the whole thing. There are long places. There are long places, you know. Well, I mean, put it this way. If you put the full address, if you put the full location name in full the village where I live, you've got three words just in that first part of the location. And then you've got the county and the country and the fact that we're in the UK if you want to add the UK after 1801. But we get a lot of problems with the locations. That's what I was gonna ask. I mean, I can imagine your cleanup that you're doing even now is sometimes a lot when putting in those locations. I know that a couple of people do migration as well, categories if they are going from one location to another. Kathy, I can see you guys using that a lot in Italy and looking at they are immigrated so they migrate one. Yeah, Italy's locations are interesting. I can never remember. So I kind of stay away from those profiles. I work on the English ones. And my little spiel for like new people, when you're putting the location in the birth marriage and death field, write out the whole location, but do not put, they died in a cemetery or they died in a hospital or they were born at the hospital. In the US it would be like town, county, state and country. If it's after 1776, England is UK or United Kingdom after 1801. Northern Ireland after 1901. 1901, is it four? 21 or 22? I should know that. I keep doing the suggestions on that. I was just forming 21 that the suggestion cut self-hatch. All right, that's usually correct, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, Darren, we have a challenge for you. Yeah. I've been through there. Pretty sure it's in the Hawkes Bay, but I cannot pronounce it at all.  So this is just right around the corner from you, right? No. Yeah, it's in a different island. I have been there. Well, I'm pretty sure I've been there. Is that an island that you're working on with the Global Project? Well, it's in the North Island of New Zealand in the Hawkes Bay region, if I'm remembering correctly. Yeah, actually New Zealand's not part of Global. They have their own project. Oh, that's right. That's right. So Darren, you're working on a lot of islands though, right, for the Global? Yeah. I've got quite a few islands and yeah, a lot of the profile names and location names. They're interesting to think about and you have to think about if you're spelling it correctly. And Darren, Ruth would like to know, where is it, the long name place? Joku, you're going to have to tell us where, or how you found that record too. That would be interesting. Yeah, I'll see if I can get there. Where is it? Yeah, it's a hill in Southern Hawkes Bay. But is it in Wiki Street? Is it? I don't think so. But it's sort of well on the Wabwabs. Sorry. So, did you just type it into your search engine? My copy paste. Oh. Yeah. Miss, can I? Now, I'm curious, has anybody given yourself a goal of how many profiles you will do during this Connectathon? I have not. My main purpose was just to enter a large amount of DNA cousin bait. And however far I get with that, and it's mostly last name and location I'm looking at from a Texas group of individuals. So that was my main goal. And I don't know how many there are. So that's how come I don't have a number. But what about you guys? Do you guys have a number that you're looking at? Or are you looking at just a particular location, a family line? CC7, who's working on their CC7? No. Sorry. Yeah, I'm a little all over the place this time. Yeah, I always used to be all over the place. I used to do something, and then I thought, oh, my god. I'll answer your challenge, I'll do something different. Sometimes it was CC7, sometimes it was. But I haven't got a lot to add to my CC7. And then sometimes it was I was doing something on helping out on, I tend to go and add things. Because if I've updated a profile, and there's obviously family members missing, and put the census on there, I'll go and add it to the category that needs profiles creating for that county or whatever. Because most of my works in England and Wales. And then either I can update it, or if somebody else is working on it in the connected film, they can update it, because they can find it easily in that category. That's a good point. And you mentioned they can find it easy in that category. So categories are important to profiles. Somebody asked, why do I really need them, or why they are important? And I think of them as file folders. You can put the profile in a bunch of different file folders, and people can find them. But somebody said they like to put as many categories as appropriate, because they use Wiki Tree Plus to try and find them as well. And I hadn't thought about that. So that was a good idea too. And I really, I like this as well, trying to hold villages in my one place study project. And I love the one place study project. So that's a really good idea to get them in. Because once you get a person in, chances are from that whole village, you're easily adding families, and then neighbors, and so on. And I agree. I feel so bad for you, Rob. It's really hard when the archive's down. That's a struggle. How many people are using their cell phone to thon? Daphne and I were talking about this earlier. I only know one person that's ever done that. I did it the very first course of thon, but that's it. And that was the tiny phones that they had then. But I feel for you, if you're using your phone and trying to source, or trying to add and source and connect, I feel for you, because that's got to be tough. We were talking today, how many, you speak, if you're doing it by your phone, now it's how many monitors do you have? I have two monitors! Yes, I made it. I agree, you got to have something bigger than the phone to do that. You can't use things like the source if you're going to use it. And the source is so good for helping to add things and add people. You know, if you're adding sensors, information, it's just straight in easy. It really is. It gives us a little bit of a biography as well. Or you can use the Wikitree browser extension auto bio, but the source, you're right, Hilary. It just gives us the sources. The only thing that I have, I'm curious to see Darren and Hilary and everybody in chat that's not in the United States, or if you have the same problem. If you do happen to use FamilySearch for your location, does FamilySearch give you about 50 marriage sources? Because in the United States, they give us so many marriage sources, we have to delete them out. But do you guys in your archives find a source? They duplicate so much? The trouble is that they've got a transcription that they've got out there. And then they might have a link to the archive. I find, like, that they'll have a transcription that somebody's done in the past. And then they might have the county archive. They might have a link from that. So sometimes you will get, if you just use the build-all citations, you will get more than one. And sometimes I just end up deleting the ones. Just put the important one, like the archive, because that's the place. If I really wasn't able to get a hold of something online, that's the place I'd go to. That makes sense. And I think that's what we end up doing, deleting the 49 out of the 15. And they want to make so many, but we're getting out of it. It gets interesting. What about you, Darren? Well, if I'm getting it from a FamilySearch profile, I've got to check it to see whether or not people have added the ancestry.com sources to the FamilySearch profile as well. And sometimes you get duplicates with that. But if I'm doing just, like, BDMs, I'd just use the regulatory book B and it's set up to pick up the details from the New Zealand BDM. And this is interesting. They use FamilySearch for the actual records, not their profiles. And that makes sense. And then somebody else barely uses FamilySearch. And I don't really know. It has FamilySearch, has become very annoying with the need to constantly log back in. That has been something that's just annoying. And in Australia, the grave records are duplicated. That's interesting. There. So it looks like FamilySearch and others' archives are, they have their pluses and their minuses as they go through it. Well, I think we should talk about the prize giveaway. So if you have not typed in the word cousins yet, please type it in and we're going to do the giveaway. Let me share my screen real quick. And the prize will be a surprise. Anyone will get in touch with you and she'll let you know what the prize is. So here we go. You guys ready? Let's see it, let's see it, let's see it, let's see it. Oh, there it is. And she just put it on too. She's on the tortoises, I believe. And guess what? She's also in Appalachian. But we have found, so don't think we're an exclusive bunch. We have found that you give us somebody and we can probably find an Appalachian in your family, that one. So congratulations Susan, anyone will be in touch with you and anybody have anything left to talk about? Anything you want to mention or say? Well, I've got a challenge for you. An Appalachian connected to me. I knew you were going to say that. We are, we're going to talk about that in the connectors discord. I was going to say wait till after the thaw and she'll find one for you. A little known Australian, I believe that was. That went over there. That nobody knows about. And I came back and I will tell you that if anybody is participating in the rock this month, there are five that need rock. So after this, if you're enjoying the connecting and the adding profiles, definitely look at the rock. And I have found, this is the first time that I really, really tried, but all five of the rocks of Appalachian in there. And some of them are from Kathy's era, way up in New York. So that was kind of an interesting find as well. But otherwise, everybody, thank you so much for watching. If you watch live, thank you for participating. If you're watching this after the fact, we appreciate you watching as well. Have a very good couple of hours and go ahead and put those connections in. Let's see what the numbers are. We were at 27, almost 28,000. And the next hangout will be in about three and a half hours. So thanks everybody for joining us. Bye, everybody. Bye.


What's up everybody? Brickie Karuth here. Welcome back to my channel. So today I want to talk about losing over $27,000 in real estate commissions. It's deals that I lost. They slipped away. I did all I could do. I'll recoup some of it down the road because there are some of them were my listings, but maybe I won't on some of it because it was a buyer. Maybe they never come back and buy. So how am I handling this? How am I coping with this mentally? And what am I doing with this extra time I have on my hands? So I want to get into that. First off, I want to let you know that I confirmed Ryan Serhant to come back to let me interview him for a second time. That's going to be on my second YouTube channel. I want to put a link in the description for you to go subscribe, hit that bell. That's going to be Friday at noon central. And what I want to do is I want to give a free book away list to last, how to survive every real estate market crash. Just comment below either a question that you would like to hear me ask Ryan or just anything that's on your mind right now concerning the real estate market. At the end of this video, I'm going to share with you a comment of the day and I'm also going to be giving away free books on just about every video moving forward for the next couple of months. So if you don't win a book, this video, don't worry. We're going to have plenty of chances for me to send you a signed copy of my book. So before we get started, click that like button and let's get into the video. Okay, so how did I lose over $27,000 with the real estate commissions and what's going on? What's the story behind it and how am I handling this situation? And I think this is a big huge subject for real estate agents, especially newer real estate agents that don't understand the game. I know a lot of you are hitting me up on Instagram telling me about deals that slipped away and how hard you worked on it and how bad it hurts. And that's why I wanted to make this video to let you know that I still lose deals all the time, all the time I'm losing deals. Sometimes they come back. Sometimes it's a listing that we had a contract that fell through. Months later, I resell the listing so it didn't really go away forever. It came back in the long run, but for the short term, it slipped away. But some of those deals do come back, but not all of them. Sometimes they're a buyer and they decided not to buy and they go away, they decide not to do anything, whatever the case may be. Or maybe it was a particular property that that buyer only liked that property. There's not another property like it. It's very unique and we're never going to be able to replace that and it was either that property or nothing. So sometimes that happens. So you don't recoup every single deal back, but you do recoup a lot of them. And what I would say is that you recoup a lot more than you would have if you handle it the right way, which is realizing that we do lose deals or deals go away or temporarily go away. That's just the name of the game. There's nothing we can do about it. There's nothing we can do to control that situation. And what we need to do is understand this and to go with it. And what I'm saying is that if you have a client who, let's say for example, you showed them a lot of properties and then you spent a lot of time with them and then they all of a sudden go use another agent out of the blue, just out of nowhere, they just use another agent and you find out that they broke a contract with another agent and they're under contract with another agent. You're like, what in the world is going on here? A lot of agents would get upset. They might even say something rude maybe to the prospect, to the client. And to me, let me tell you a couple of things. For one, I've had these situations and when I was newer, I did. I reached out and I said, what's going on? Why did you do this? I spent all this time with you. This hurts. And those situations never really turned out good for me in the end in terms of that client ever using me again. However, as I became more experienced in the business, now I take those situations and I congratulate the client because they made a choice that they felt was best for them. Now in the end, maybe they decided that was or wasn't the best choice, but when they closed on that property three years later, I've had so many clients that used another agent for whatever reason. And then three years later, they decided to sell that property by another. Who do they call? They call me because I called them and congratulated them, told them I was here to help them. I didn't try to make them feel bad for not using me as an agent. And it always left that door open. So I want you guys to always leave the door for relationships open. Think about your future. Think about your future. So these deals that I lost, it was two deals. One was it was going to be $335,000 and I was going to be on both sides of it for 5%. Both sides, 5%. I think that's like $16,750. Something like that. And literally just slipped out from under my hands. I mean just, I just, what happened was is I went, I showed the property. The buyers were very excited. We went back and forth. We got to where the buyers wanted to be. The sellers wanted to be. Everybody was happy.  Okay. This deal was done. They were happy. They were excited. We had many conversations. They were moving forward. There was really no signs. Even my wife, she overheard one of the conversations. She said, that deal is done. And then they called the next day and said, you know what, we're not going to do this deal. We don't feel comfortable. We think the markets this or that. We want to be a little more patient and really to be honest with you, the deal was a really good deal and a very nice property. But that's not neither here nor there. It's their decision. So what did I do? I told her right then and there, that is great. That's what we need to do. If that's what makes you feel comfortable, you know, let's start working towards whatever we need to to help you get to the place where you are comfortable to move forward on this or another property. You know, let's do some more research. Let's look around more. Let's do whatever we need to do. I didn't backlash on her. I didn't try to make her feel bad for not doing what she basically told me that she was going to do. So on and so forth. Okay. So that 16,750 slipped out from my fingers and I still have the listing. So I'll sell it down the road. We have a couple of showings right now as we speak. However, that buyer may or may not buy again. Right. So this is part of the game. The second deal was an offer on a listing that I had. We actually went under contract 360. Okay. And about two days later, the buyer decided to back out cold feet. Okay. So cold feet. It was, it was my listing. Another agent's client was the buyer. And so, you know, I don't know exactly what the dynamic was on the other side, but hey, you know, there's nothing I can do about it. The buyer decided to walk. So they have that right. And that's what they did. So these are just two examples of many, many, many, but I want you to realize this when you lose a deal, okay? When you lose a deal in general. Okay. I want you to think about the hours that you would have spent on that deal, everything that's involved in a deal and getting a listing, getting it set up on the market, showing the property, getting the contract, negotiating it, dealing with all the title company, mortgage, inspections, all that stuff, all the way down to the closing. It's hours and hours and hours. Okay. So if you don't get that listing, okay? That's going to leave you hours of your life and the future, future hours that you just got back. Okay. The most important, the most, the highest quality commodity to us as humans is time. Okay. We can never get time back, but if these little circumstances and situations give us future time back, what do we do? Instead of sulking and thinking about it and not taking action, let's utilize that future time and go out there and initiate five more deals in the same amount of time that it would have taken you to close that one deal. Let's go initiate five more deals. This is how you multiply your business. This is how you use losing a deal to multiply your business and every deal that you lose is definitely a lesson learned. So I want you to replay. This is what I want you to do every time you lose a deal. I want you to put the stopwatch on your phone for five minutes. Okay. And I want you to give yourself five minutes, five minutes to think about that deal. Maybe you're, you know, you have the right for five minutes to maybe even be a little salty about it. Be a little upset. Okay. And I want you to think about what happened, what transpired, what can you learn from it to make yourself a better agent? I want you to think about the future time that you get back from that deal. And I want you to utilize that future time in this new knowledge that you have as a better agent and go out there and initiate five more transactions. This is my, this is the Ricky Hruth law of five. I want you to give yourself five minutes. As soon as that timer's off, you're done thinking about it. You'll never think about it again. You're going to drop it and you're going to start utilizing your time to go out there and get five more deals. I hope this video helped you tremendously. I want to share with you the comments of the day. The comment of the day comes from William Patrick and this was off of my video, how to make a hundred thousand in your first year in real estate. And he quotes me here. He says, we trade stocks on the future earnings of companies. So I trade market share on the future earnings of an agent.  And I think that is so funny, but it's true guys. You trade stocks on the future earnings of companies. And so when I look at an agent's business, I want to look at how many calls you're making. I don't care where the leads are coming from. I want to know how many calls you're making. I want to know out of those calls, how many people you're talking to. And now that I want to know how many you're connecting with. That tells me your work ethic and that tells me your communication skill level, where you are. Okay. And based on that, along with whatever your results have been over the last six to 12 months, I can tell you exactly where your business is heading. And that my friends is what I base a real estate's business on and how I evaluate a real estate agent's business. Leave me a comment for two reasons. One, it could be the next comment of the day. And two, I'm going to give away a free signed copy of my book, list the last how to survive every real estate market crash. I hope you guys got a lot out of today's video. Let me know if there's anything else in the world I can do for you, what videos you want me to make. And I'll talk to you guys on the next one. Let's go.


to encrypted credentials in Rails 5.2, secrets to success. So this is a sponsored talk by EngineYard. EngineYard is everything you need to deploy your Rails app in production. We've been around for 10 years. We provide 24-7 support. We provide DBA support. You don't have to wait three months for your app to fail. We could proactively help you with that. You also get AWS support through us. So if you have any questions, come talk to me. Come talk to the EngineYard team and we'll have a booth tomorrow and on Thursday. My name is Christopher Rieger. I'm the tech evangelist at EngineYard and you could find me on Twitter at Krieger. So who here has already used credentials on Rails 5.2? Okay, we have a few. I mean, that's more than what I expected. If everyone's using Rails 5.2 and credentials, then we don't need to have this talk. But yeah, so that's good. How about encrypted secrets on Rails 5.1? Okay, we have two. So the good news is you're encrypting your data. The bad news is it's already deprecated. So from 5.1 to 5.2, they introduced encrypted secrets, then deprecated it. You could still use it. I'm not sure when they'll remove it, Rails 6. But yeah. And then, secrets.caml, Rails 4.1 and up, I guess most of you are using that. I see some people who didn't raise their hands are using Rails 3.2. Yeah, one. We have one guy over there. So yeah, so let's take a look at what secrets.caml are. So every time you create a new Rails application, you get this, your secrets are grouped per environment, right? You have development, test, and production. So you would see on development and test, the secret key base are hardcoded. But in production, you read that from an environment variable. So why do we do that? Because you could commit this file to your repository. So that's why you don't want to put any credentials on that file because everyone who has access to your repo would see it. So the problem here is, well, secret key base, if you're only using it for development, it's fine if some people would see it. But if you have, let's say, AWS keys, even if you're using it just for development, you don't want other people to access it, right? So what you do is keep on using environment variables and before you know it, you have a lot of environment variables on this file, which is, we could work around that. That's what a lot of people have been using, but you just have to remember to set your environment variables and to do it securely. And there are some gems that help with that, but we want to move to something better, right? So on Rails 5.1, it is deprecated, but we'll talk about that a little bit. This is the first time that Rails is encrypting the data, or is helping you encrypt your data. So before you could use some gems, but now you could use it out of the box. So when you want to use encrypted secrets, you run secret setup, and that would create a key on your application, and then it would also create the secrets.yaml.enc. That one, you could commit to the repo, but the key you don't have, or you shouldn't put that in your repo, because if you have the key and the encrypted file, then anyone could just decrypt it. So this is what, so when you edit your credentials, you actually use secrets, edit a command. You won't be able to just open the file and then edit it yourself. What this command does is decrypt your data, put it into a temporary file, and then open your text editor. That's why you have to set the variable editor there if you haven't, and you would see something like this, and then the comment is, see secrets.yaml.tips on generating suitable keys. So you would see here that it's still grouped per environment, you have the production environment, and you have the key external API key. So the problem here is you're using secrets.yaml for some credentials, but they're not encrypted. Then you have encrypted secrets, which are encrypted. So you have two different files, one is encrypted, one is not, it gets confusing, right? So that's why even though it was introduced just recently, it was already deprecated. So this is just a look at the encrypted files. So that's why you could commit this to your repository because no one would get your data from here. If you don't have your key, this would just be, you won't be able to get the data from here, you won't understand it, right? So instead of using secrets and encrypted secrets, they changed the name to credentials. So credentials is used on Rails 5.2. You get a key named master.t or you could set it with an environment variable Rails master key. So I named this title encrypted credentials, which kind of suggests that there's an unencrypted credentials, which is wrong. So we just use credentials and they're always encrypted. So when using it, you, similar to Rails 5.1 encrypted secrets, you run credentials edit. So you would see here that you didn't write, you didn't run any setup code because if you create a new Rails 5.2 application, you would automatically get a key. So but if you're upgrading, you could also run a setup command that would generate the key for you. So now if you run this, you would get something like this. So what has changed here, right? You would see here that it's not group per environment anymore. There's no development or production. And then your secret key base automatically gets added to it, right? So there's no separate secrets that YAML, it doesn't get generated anymore on Rails 5.2. And yeah, you're supposed to use this only in production. For development or staging, we'll talk about that towards the end of the talk. So now I wanna, I want to do some demo on how it's done, how to use credentials, okay. So can everyone see that? So now I'm creating a new application and it finished quickly. So we're starting from a brand new Rails 5.2. application and if you search for master.key, you would see that Rails automatically creates that file over there. So then let's generate a controller that we'll use later and the welcome action. So we'd see here it's a standard generator with create files and now we would edit the credentials. So the master key has been created automatically and now we just want to use those credentials. So let's set our editor and then Rails credentials edit. Right, okay, so AWS is actually commented out so we'll uncomment that and then I heard DHH doesn't like the full variable so we'll put that in, right, and save it. Okay, so it says here new credentials encrypted and saved. So once you save your, on your text editor, it would encrypt those credentials and save it, right. So if you check, for example, for your credentials that camel.enc, that is encrypted, right. So your unencrypted credentials, the one that you saw earlier, won't be saved on your application. Okay, so let's go to, let's go to our application. So this is our application, let's view the routes. So I'm using a Mac Vim on my local machine, root pages, welcome, just so that we see that. And then let's edit the welcome view. So like hello, Railscon, and then let's, probably the most controversial in this talk, we'll use inline CSS style, font size. Yeah, I miss doing this. So who is, how do we access our credentials? So you access it with Rails application, that credentials, that poof. And that's it, you could access your credentials with that. And then AWS access key ID is Rails that application, that credentials, that AWS. And since it's nested on, you know, our YAML file is nested, this becomes a hash, so we'll access the, we'll use the access key ID key, right? And then, thank you, always make that mistake, okay. I closed my HTML tag, and then let's run Rails server. Okay, it's running, let's go to the app. Oops, that's actually the demo. All right, forgot the new line, but yeah, foo is bar, AWS access key ID is 123, right? So that's how you access the credentials from the YAML, so what did we learn here, right? Well first, don't use inline CSS, and don't display your credentials on your view, right? So this is just a demo, like don't go and say, well, you know, just display your credentials so we could see it, right? There's actually a way to display the credentials, which is Rails credentials, it could do that. So that's the demo for using the simple credentials, right? If you've noticed, I run Rails new, I run Rails credentials show, that's actually not on my laptop, if you could see I put there dev spaces. This is actually one of the tools that we're looking at, that we're trying at Engine Yard, which is running your Rails application on a remote server, right? Which is nothing new, right? I mean, people do it. If I'm on the conference Wi-Fi, and I attempted to start from a new Rails application, it connected to rubygems.org and all that, but it's on a remote server somewhere, so that's why I could do that. But what's new with dev spaces that we're trying, if you've noticed, I used my local IDE. So one of the problems with just using the server is, well, I have to use Vim or, I don't know, I just use Vim when I'm SSH to a server, but here I'm using my local IDE, which is also Mac Vim, but it has my shortcuts, I can keep in using it. So I didn't have to install ruby or Rails, or run or connect to rubygems.org for my machine. It does that from the remote server, but then I could continue using my local IDE. So cloud IDEs were a fad before, but here I'll use this because I like my IDE, I like my customizations. If you're using Visual Studio Code, just keep on using that, Sublime, Atom, you could continue using that. So yeah, if you want to learn more about dev spaces, we could approach us at the booth. It's great for developers, especially for me when I'm traveling, when the Wi-Fi is not great. Yeah. So the next part of the demo is using the encryption that Rails uses on your own code. So Rails didn't just say here use this for credentials, it exposed the API so that you could use it on your own app so that if you want to use encryption, you don't have to rewrite things, you could just use whatever it's using. So on a Rails console, you could see, for example, that credentials, these returns encrypted configuration. So this is the new class that Rails added and exposed for you, right? So you could use encrypted configuration, but instead of using that, let's just use it again, instead of using credentials, you actually use Rails that application that encrypted. And now I want to specify the file that I want. So I'm not using the credentials that the channel that the ENC that Rails uses, I want to encrypt something else. So I'm going to specify, let's say, Railscon for that ENC, right? Now I could write my code, my message, right? Hello Railscon, right? And if you read it, you could see it back. And that's how you create another encrypted file. So if you go here, you could see that you have Railscon ENC, right? So again, it's encrypted. It's similar to credentials that the channel that ENC, you can't see it, you need to run, you could use it from your app to decrypt it or you could also use it, use a command to decrypt it. We shall show in a bit. We didn't specify any key here, right? So what key did it use? It reused the master.key that Rails already created. So if that's something that you don't want to do because you want to use a separate key for a different purpose, you could do that as well and Rails support that as well. So if you, so we want to use a new key, right? So we generate the key first, encrypted, configuration, generate key. So now you get this new key that you could use, right? It's just a hex of size 32 because you need 16 bytes for the key. So the hex, the string is a length 32 that generate key uses, right? So you didn't have to do this earlier because Rails already generates it for us, right? But so let's insert here, let's call it the top secret key. So I'm going to save that and now this, I'll use this key to encrypt my data so that I don't want to reuse my master key. So, okay, top secret, right? So it's on my dev space now, I created it on my local machine on MacVim and then it's now on dev space, right? So I could now do bar, Rails, that application, that encrypted, config, top secret, enc. Now I could specify the key, right? So instead of using the master.key file, I could specify any key that I want. So I named it config, top secret key, right? There you go, and then you could write, this is a top secret message. So earlier I told you I could edit that as well. So instead of using credentials edit, Rails gives us encrypted edit, right? So you specify top secret, that enc, and then you pass the key that you want to use because you use a different key. So top secret, and you get an editor again with the message that you, so I added the message on my Rails console, edited it from the command line, then you could edit this and say, and then I could actually do encrypted show, which is similar to credentials show, and it was just, well, you don't need the editor variable there, but that just, you get the message. You see your encrypted message again. So yeah, that is the demo for encrypted credentials. Okay, so what does encrypted configuration use, right? So encrypted configuration is the new class that Rails uses, but it actually uses message encryptor. So if you've heard of this, this was actually introduced in Rails 4.1, which is used for encrypting data on your cookies. So it's, Rails exposed a new class, but inside it, it reuses what we've already been using. So that's one good thing about Rails, you were building things on top of what already works for us. So now on to what does credentials use, I mean what type of encryption that we use. The Cypher that Rails uses is AES, which is a symmetric Cypher. We won't go into details about how it works. As the HH said, we don't need to know these things. We just let someone else handle it. So AES is a symmetric Cypher could have or it could be a stream or block Cypher. Those are the two types of Cypher, a stream. Let me just, so a stream Cypher encrypt your bits individually. Whereas a block Cypher, it divides your data into blocks and then encrypt those blocks to encrypt the whole data. So AES is a block Cypher. So but before we talk further about AES, not the internal details, but before we talk about that, let's talk about what came before AES, which is DES or data encryption standard. So this was released in 1977 by NISD, National Institute of Standards and Technology, which is named differently back then. So this is the agency that I think provides guidelines on passwords and even for cryptography. So it was developed by IBM with the help of NSA, so the intelligence agency. So there was a concern back then that the NSA could pass a backdoor on the AES because they helped building the Cypher. So IBM described or NISD described how the algorithm works, how DES works, but some parts of it weren't really described fully or weren't really explained in specifically, specifically DES and other block Cypher's use substitution boxes, right? So these are, DES uses eight of these S-boxes, right? You could see numbers there and they're hard-coded. These are the specific numbers that DES used and they didn't explain why they chose these numbers, right? So what would people think, right? Like these are the numbers that NSA used to, for a backdoor to DES, right? They could decrypt the data without your key, right? So in 1990, so remember this was released in the 70s, in 1990 two researchers released a paper on an attack called differential cryptanalysis attack. These attacks, the block Cypher's including DES. So at this point there are other block Cypher's aside from DES, right? So, but they made a note that these cryptanalysis attacks weren't really that effective with DES, right? So that's an interesting note. So one of the creators of DES said, well finally you know about cryptanalysis attacks. So apparently in the 1970s, IBM and or NSA already know about cryptanalysis attacks and that's why they chose these numbers specifically to protect against those attacks, right? But they couldn't say what those numbers are for because they wanted to keep it secret, right? The US government wants it to be an advantage, right? They could decrypt some data but you know, not tell the public that they know about this. But apparently this is the height of the Cold War in the 70s but apparently the Russians also know about these attacks, right? So yeah, in 1997, 98, DES is being attacked, right? So it held up in 1990 but 97, 98 is already being attacked. You get powerful hardware. Computers were being built specifically to attack DES and it's not the cryptanalysis attacks. So what was the problem? They used a small key space. They used 56 bits which was awfully a concern in the 70s. IBM wanted 128 but guess who wanted 56 bits, right? So the NSA wanted to use 56 bits. So NISC said, well, right? We want a new cipher that would replace DES. So but instead of doing it the way we did with DES which is, you know, it was developed by IBM not in the open, you know, we want to ask for submissions, right? So 15 submissions, right? There were 15 submissions and that was, and we had five finalists in 1999 and it's an open process. It's very different from the way that DES was developed, right? So and in 2000, the Rindell cipher, if you've heard of it, it's a Belgian cipher. It was chosen as the AES cipher. So it was renamed to AES. So that's how we came with AES. So from DES which isn't recommended anymore but by NISD, we now have AES advanced encryption standard. So the standard here is because, you know, the US government NISD, right? The agency, you know, said that this is a standard that people would use but actually AES is used pretty much, it's pretty much actually the standard, right? A lot of applications use it, right? So it's, you know, it's, and the testament to that is NSA actually allows their data to be encrypted by using AES. So before that, they used their own ciphers, right? Their proprietary ciphers. But with AES, they said, well, it's good, you know, if it's good enough for NSA, you know, it's good enough for our AES applications. So 128 is the bit key size, right? 128 bits, just a note about, you know, the key sizes, right? You'd hear that the bigger keys, right, is better. Like if you're using SSH keys and you create, you know, and you use RSA, you would, you know, I think right now the recommendation is to use 2048 bits, right? But here we only use 128 bits because the key space only matters if that is the, it's the brute force attacks. It's the most, you know, it's the attacks that people use. If it's the brute force attacks, and it's, so RSA is different from AES. That's why the keys could be smaller. So in fact, with AES, you could only choose 128, 192, and 256 bits, right? So those are the only three options. And 128 is, you know, it's good enough. It would take decades for, you know, for AES to be broken, right? So then GCM, Galois counter mode, it's the mode of operation. Since we're encrypting by blocks, then that's, you know, there's a way to, like to encrypt those. So GCM is the recommendation, and that's what we're using. So AES 120 GCM, this is on the actual Rails code base, right? This is what we're using. But if you're using something else, or if you want to use something else, then you could do that as well. You could just change the cipher and your code would still work, right? So should I use credentials, right? Should you use credentials? If you have, if you haven't been encrypting your data, then yes, you should use credentials, right? But if you have something else, like if you're already doing something, if you already have policies in place to encrypt per environment, and then, you know, you don't want to mix them, like to mix your staging and your production keys, because, you know, then all your developers would need access to that key. Or in development, right? If they need that key, then, you know, you're exposing your credentials to probably unnecessarily to a lot of people. So, you know, check what you're using now and see if this is better or not, right? So, but definitely if you're not encrypting your credentials yet, it's good to use this new features. So what are the alternatives, right? EJSON is from Shopify. It uses JSON though. They have supposedly a replacement for that, which is ECFG, you know, I researched that, you know, included it on my slides. And then, you know, two days ago, I checked the repo and then it says abandoned, right? So it's like, so, you know, you could check EJSON. It's, I'm not sure how tight it is with Rails, but it has some good features. Like it's not using one key. Like every developer can have his own public key. So they are using a symmetric encryption, right? You have a public and private key. So, you know, check that out. Secrets, I believe, is the inspiration for the credentials feature. So it's not more as an alternative as, you know, what prior gems were out there. And then finally, I added this pull request. This is the pull request that merged where credentials feature was merged. And until now, it's still open. Because people have been saying, we need to use credentials on development, on staging, on test, right? And you only told us that we could use the credentials feature in production, right? So people have been replying, right? And it's very active. Like last I checked, maybe the past few days, you know, there has been a reply. So there is no answer right now from Rails core on how to handle, you know, per environment credentials. The code is there. You could use, you know, when I specified a different key and a different file. It's there, but then each and every one of the applications that use staging credentials would have to use those, you know, those code. And, you know, it doesn't, so it's not yet over, right? Like if, I think there would be more features that will be added soon. Some people have released gems to tackle this. And I think DHH also, you know, likes, you know, if you want your idea to be used, then put it on a gem and let's see how people would use it. So that's the current state right now. I actually bumped into one of the Rails core team member and he said he's gonna push something today before my talk, but I don't think he did. So as of now, yeah, you could use credentials, but yeah, I mean, you check on the status as well of what's coming in the next few versions. And that's it. Thank you very much for listening. And yeah, I think we have time for questions.
