So hi everyone. This is one of my casual catch-up conversations with friends. I'm with Joanne McCall and We've actually known each other for How many years now Joanne? I think six six or seven six or seven years in a while. It's been a while and It's been probably Three four at least years since we've talked. It has been a while too long too long so we're just wanting to Learn what each other is working on what seems to be working How our perspectives have changed and what we're what we're learning about doing business from the heart and I was just talking with I was just Recapping with Joanne kind of what what's been changing in my business and I was mentioning how Now that I'm giving away all my content for free Joanne actually Knew me from the time in my business where I was selling all of my content You know and you're actually Joanne you're one of the you're one of the few you know kind of people that I'm I'm Talking with now recently that know my history way back then and I was selling you know $2,000 programs and most most of the most of the time people were buying these $2,000 programs Because I really hyped up how great the content was they really were buying the training Sort of ideas the knowledge right and then what came with it was some group coaching Never one-to-one, but just group coaching so now in the past two years since 2014 2013 really I started It made the decision give away all my content for free and only make my money from doing one-to-one Coaching now now that I'm doing it like two two and a half years into it. I'm now brainstorming Creating some group structure, but let me get to that in a bit. So one thing I was just mentioning is that When I now I'm giving content for free I Have I'm needing to really step up to the plate To create even better content than I was before because the irony is when you're selling content People don't really and it's not if it was like on Amazon where people could lots of people could review it Then it's like oh you can check out whether something is good before you buy it But in our world of you know internet marketing There is no such Amazon review for $2,000 internet marketing programs and so you just kind of have to buy it trusting that all the testimonials are what you're gonna experience to and Then you go in and then you see whether the thing was really as good as the testimonials said it would be and In my case and I think in the case of most of my peers We of course used the testimonials from like the top 1% of people who bought and had great things to say about it and Honestly, I think probably the the majority of the people who bought my programs They either didn't use it or they didn't use a Foley or they got stuck somewhere and weren't They didn't really try to come to the Q&A's and figure it out and really or or they just use it Didn't work for them And so they just kind of moved on or they got distracted by another program somewhere Which sometimes I was the one promoting other programs, right? so So in other words, I was able to keep selling the same program over and over and over again without Doing a whole lot of updating of the content and now that I'm giving it all away for free Okay, so when people pay lots of money they naturally Think well gosh, it's it's two thousand dollars. So it must be really good content and that kind of illusion I think That colors the human mind Makes a difference Unfortunately in the marketing of something because if I the higher the price the human mind says well Must be more valuable and then once they get the product The the perception that it's more valuable Actually makes them think it's more valuable even though that same content that I used to sell It's not as good at the content. I'm giving away for now for free. The irony is now that I'm giving up for free Because it's free and there's no price on it people naturally By default think that they must not be very valuable because it's free And so therefore I have to step up to the plate and really deliver value really deliver Effectiveness of the ideas and maybe a little bit higher quality production value or something like that back then I was just recording telephone calls and selling them basically with some slides now I'm like, you know, you know just up a little bit and like Make make some make some higher quality videos or whatever. I never used to make videos for my products. So Anyway, I have to step up that in other words the competition in the free market Ironically is much higher than the competition in the paid markets And I know that and financially it is definitely I'm making a lot less money than I used to be Gratefully, I am still doing okay, and I'm now really building for the long term So it sounds like it sounds like a spiritual practice to me Yeah, I Told yeah, I feel like I was kind of reborn two and a half years ago It's reborn spiritually and reborn in my business. I just you know kind of started with the beginner's mind and says, you know what? Let me just try let me just try to get as I've created content I really have grown faster in a lot of ways than I did when I was just Rehashing the same things and kept selling it which I see a lot of internet marketers still doing You know, they just and they they almost boast about it on some calls. I hear tell us how much I hear webinars here They kind of boast. Oh, I just created a program and I just keep selling it You know for months and years and people just keep buying it and I get lots of money and and I was no longer Okay with that I couldn't stomach that. I mean I just couldn't like if I could stomach it I would keep doing because I Couldn't stomach it. So that's why I said I had to really create quality and I have to let the quality speak for itself rather than make the pricing Give the illusion of quality, you know, I think it really speaks to your integrity and also something I've always appreciated about you is your beginner's mind and you're willing to experiment and try things I mean you come up with an idea and you are out there with it. I mean, it's awesome Better at it Yeah, yeah, it's it definitely takes willingness to To fail but the thing about failure. I notice online Nobody ever really said or said anything bad about my things. You know once in a while In the past really in the past two and a half years since I've changed I've gotten almost no negative criticism. It's been amazing in the past because I was charging so much I did occasionally get grumbles, you know But really when we're trying to do the right thing worst thing that happens Is silence That's really crickets. It's it's we're and you know, honestly, I experience that every week Because I nowadays I make five videos a week Not all five videos take off I'm lucky one of five videos a week gets above average likes but most of time it's A couple of my really loyal Supporters, you know oftentimes liking it just because it's me and they like it and so Anyway, um, I I was where we left off before we started recording this was I was talking about how now two and a half years into just earning money from the one to one And giving it all away for giving all the content away for free I'm now realizing that I'm experiencing something a little bit similar to what was happening in before Before when I was selling these programs. I had a large percentage like I mentioned who weren't using it or weren't getting the kind of results. I was I was hoping Now that I'm getting away for free I'm still actually getting a similar experience in terms of people Are very nice to say wow that was helpful or that was nice But very few people I'm able to actually follow up because it's all free out there, right? So very few people I'm able to follow up with and say was that content Did that really change your life that really changed your business and and of course it's much more fulfilling if I could See the fruits of my labor Um, and so I'm now realizing that people need structure That's my newest learning really for the past month is oh people Not only need good content because good content is abundant online You know But the free content market is far more competitive and far more crowded than the paid content market so People not only just need good content And they need good values behind that content, but they really really really need and will pay for structure So this is why those seven day challenges 21 day challenges 30 day challenges three month programs or whatever work People like to buy them because they feel like okay now that I've I'm in this community where everyone is kind of going to be doing this thing And there's a set deadline for things I'm much more likely to get it done And you were just mentioning that so I'm I'm gonna I'm thinking about creating like a monthly Each month going starting in july. I'm thinking of creating like a 21 day challenge And I'm thinking and you can give me your feedback on this because you've You've really been around the block and all these different kinds of programs and created things yourself I'm thinking creating I asked my My current clients like I have these four tracks Which one are you most interested in I have a a track on You know joyful productivity like time management energy management that kind of thing I could create a 21 day challenge around that I have a track on Optimizing your offering so basically clarifying your niche upgrading your How wealth how well your your service offering is to what the market wants that kind of things to optimize your offering Creating content consistently and enrolling new clients.  That's just one time and and as people join Join this community Each month I will create Four facebook events in that group And so each event will be one track So those of you who are interested in joyful productivity go and RSVP yes for that event and I will be kind of keeping you accountable in that event page And you can you're expected to come and update yourself, you know once a day or once a week whatever we decide to do So it's like there's four event Pages in this facebook group and people will just kind of be interacting there And if they have a if they don't want to participate in the challenge They just want general support and on their business. They just post in the facebook group Itself and then get that kind of support Well as we were talking about before we started recording you mentioned the three week challenge And I told you about a friend of mine who started who's doing a seven day challenge That is really very very successful. It's a video challenge in his case And what I'm finding is when it comes to structure People are so busy now. It's cliche to say it. I mean everybody's busy seven days A lot of people are willing to commit to seven days feels really doable I could do a video every day for seven days There's a private group with it and then if they want to continue on of course they can But and if they're done they're done But it's just seven days as compared to Recently as someone had a group that they were talking to me about and it's a year long A lot of that is just like You know it gives me a headache I just can't and I and I think I speak for a lot of people that's it's just too long So I think this is one way that things have really changed and the internet and being online is maturing for people Yes, and because there is so much content and so much coming at us Seven days for something we really want. I think most people are willing to do Okay, that's really helpful. That's really helpful. So, uh, I'm So, yeah, I might try different lengths. I might try a 21 day And when I say 21 day, I really should call it. Maybe I don't know 21 day sounds nicer than three week challenge. I guess Well, they say it takes 21 days to form a habit Right. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, so but but I probably I'm obviously not gonna have something for them each other 21 days But it's more going to be like a once a week kind of thing But I might actually end up doing seven day challenge take a week break and then another seven day challenge within a month So that that's another possibility But I want to turn it to to you now.  How do you like to introduce yourself these days? Well, I'm I'm a publicist as you know, that's what I do and it's uh, you know, the core of my being I help people to get out there and be visible I'm a former media insider. So I know how that works And really the what does that mean? I'm sorry. Just to interrupt you. What does that mean to be a media insider? Well media insider is someone who's worked really in that side of the fence and knows how media operates How they want to be approached and that sort of thing as I became a publicist I had that kind of insight as to how to approach people But the big distinction that I make now is between you media because we're all media now, right? I mean, you're doing video and audio. We're all media So there's you media your content generation and then there's earned media And earned media is someone else involved and it usually means you have some hoops to jump through Right and the beauty of it is often their platforms are huge So you have this additional exposure and those on those bigger platforms who are interested in you can then come and opt into Whatever you're doing learn more about you that kind of thing. So it's another way to build To build like that. Yeah, that's cool. So I work a lot with authors Authors and speakers. Yeah, and what do you What do you Maybe give me an example of how you would walk an author through what you do Well, let me share with you someone i'm working with right now He's actually been a client of mine off and on for the last 15 years or so on several of his books It's really wonderful two years ago get this two years ago He along with his team of like three they did a cross-country bicycle tour From the west coast to the east coast interviewing a hundred entrepreneurs along the way. That's incredible. Wow And they They videotaped everything and then they had a film crew behind them. They did all the behind the scenes Shootings too so that they're going to launch a movie a documentary soon So they did this trip that was two years ago during that time or afterwards He has written the book about it. It's called main street entrepreneur and He got a publisher Entrepreneur Press and now the book just came out in this last week and now we're doing additional Media for him with you know Ink magazine and all these other you know, i'm currently now doing that. So i'm helping to really Launch the book and help people to understand what it's about and talking to media about it and they're covering it and Mike is just i mean mike blouser is his name and he's just an incredible human being he's fun to work with He's like my ideal kind of person, you know to work with yeah So i think he really shows how things have just turned around I mean it used to be you would write the book after you had done everything right you'd already And that is what he did but he went out and he did the interviews first with all the entrepreneurs He gathered the information from that he synthesized nine key elements that all entrepreneurs have in common For being successful. That's really what we're talking about And so all that's done and now the book comes out and now the movie comes out so Nice. Yeah, yeah, so You're reaching out on this behalf uh to these different media outlets um What's what have you noticed is working these days in terms of reaching out to influencers and have them to say yes We will feature this or You know george the number one thing and I think that this is a fundamental truth I think it's always been true. You've got to have something unique And you have to have something that's different because when you think of earned media, they're pitched all day long Five days a week at least probably seven Yes, um and they're pitched all the time. They're hearing things all the time So you really want to look at how are you different? What are you doing that's different that's unique? Another one of my clients. She's a presentation expert About her we have all kinds of success with her because she offers tips that you haven't heard 50 000 times You know, and if you've heard it 50 000 times media has heard it 200 000 times, you know So I can always I could say to an editor or a journalist I could say listen She can give you tips you have not heard before and they're always intrigued by that They're like really like what and then I go to her I say I need some fresh I need something new and she can always deliver. Yeah So for anybody who wants this kind of thing if you're just writing your first book if you're just starting your business You just want to look at how are you unique? How are you different? Yeah, are you helping people in it in an unusual way? Those are the kinds of things you want to be able to answer so that it's Well, it basically it's kind of like what Seth Godin talks about the purple cow Right like this for those of you don't know the story like it's you are driving along the road a country road You see lots of cows Nothing unusual about it and then you're driving along driving suddenly something makes you turn you What is that? It's purple Yeah, that got your attention because it's unique. It's different. So Now for someone who is So here's the thing about here's the thing about unique. Uh, does it also need to be? Um, I mean might say useful Yes. Yeah, that's that useful is good. Yeah. Yes. It's it's solving someone's problem It's helping someone out. It needs to either be educational or very entertaining or both both is ideal Okay, and and so with with mike, right? Um Nine nine tips or nine, uh success factors for entrepreneurs that Itself is not unique Right, but what i'm hearing is that the story of him Bicycling across the country and interviewing all these people that's unique. Yes very much so But also, uh, the word entrepreneur Silicon valley has kind of taken it And given it at this different definition of you know high tech But listen not everyone can start a google or an amazon or ebay, right? People can't but they can start their own little business In their own niche or in their own hometown and the book is called, you know, it's main street entrepreneur So it's really about okay little towns and people who started a business and how they made it really successful The research is showing that technology is taking away a lot of jobs Now is the time that people need to create their own business. You know that you do it I know that I do it and there are a lot of people Struggling trying to figure out how to do that. So this information and these tips I think are really helpful for people to to begin that journey. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely So, um Talk to me about what since we haven't talked in a couple years. Um, what is has there been any Uh, has there been any change or shift that you have made in your strategy or in your way of working with clients or in your way of reaching out? Tell me a bit about that. I don't even know where to begin. George. I mean, that's such a great question. Yeah Yes, yes. Yes It changes all the time, but I have to say that I really love that I mean, I love that. I find it Interesting to learn and to try new things and to check things out Sometimes I notice that some people are kind of afraid of that or they don't really it kind of stops People most people are afraid of it If they can turn that around and get really curious in trying new things It can just make a huge difference So yes in my work. I do. Um, I've become very collaborative with my clients. It used to be a publicist You know, they were hired and they would just do the work and then let you know the results But I really work with the person because then we're both it's both of us making this happen Not just me doing it for you, you know, it's it's a real um, it's a real partnership And that's that's it. That's a difference, but I love that. I just I think that's fun Yeah, yeah, that's really cool. So when it comes to learning new things, I mean when it comes to marketing gosh, it's changing, um, you know by the hour it seems What have you Had to change or make do differently with regards to marketing or or your own clients marketing Yeah, that's uh, well for myself, you know, it's funny you say that george because I think it was like It was probably about five years ago when you and I were working together and I I did a head slap And I said oh my goodness joanne mccall is one of my clients All my business had been referral always had been referral I came to a point where I realized I have to be out there I mean I I have to demonstrate when I'm helping other people to do. Yeah, it wasn't always that way Yeah, right. So now I'm doing a lot more video. I've been putting video out there I'm doing, you know some facebook again. It's it's like an experiment Yes, I have a group that I work with of people who want to learn how to do their own publicity And so I have a group and and share with them different techniques and strategies that I'm trying And what's worked and maybe what isn't working anymore So that's that's really helpful. It's helpful to them and it's helpful to me because what I said last year Or even a few months ago. Yeah, it may be different today. Yeah, totally totally. Yeah, I find that um That's how I've grown the most is by Uh, sharing everything I can um in terms of what I'm learning. Yeah, and then this is why I encourage everyone to If at all possible to create and share content consistently I keep saying that because the more we do it Uh, the more we tap into this what we find is it is an endless bottomless reservoir of wisdom knowledge experience even Insight and if we don't give it away We're not really digging as deep as we could Again, I know not everyone agrees with my thought about giving all content away, but what I mean is just Giving it either for free or as a product to continually be as prolific as we can For each person that's different Right now I'm making five videos a week. Um, but Maybe you know three four years ago. I would have been proud to make one video every two weeks Um, so I I feel like it's that is really That's been like a like a big key for me Is to is to is to create as politically as I can And as much as I can engage with my audience to see which of those pieces were most helpful That's a really excellent point because I think in order for new ideas to come through us We have to clear the way of the ones that are currently up for us. Yes. That's what I hear you saying You know, you've got to put it out there because then more can flow through I absolutely think that that's how it works. Yeah. Yeah, totally totally Yeah, and the great thing of course is as we put it out there Uh, not only are we growing we're helping other people and We're getting noticed we're getting noticed by others and people can share it forward. I mean social media. It's amazing, right?  Mm-hmm. Yeah Yeah, another thing I remember learning from you that I think of often is The you would you would say don't try to remember everything in your mind write it down your brain is for brilliance not trying to remember to pick up the Yeah Yes, yes, so true. Yeah, it's it's true. Yeah, and and yes what Right exactly. It's like the library. We have of wisdom in here Let's get it down Ideally and then share it right ideally share it so that it can have its own legs and help other people and multiply Value and multiply kind of wisdom and experience for everyone Um, so what have you noticed? So so in in the past couple years, uh, you have worked with a lot of people Um, now now I'm talking in terms of partners Um in terms of like colleagues and peers um Have you noticed yourself? um Working better with some uh less with others any kind of changes there or any Kind of learnings you've made because I know collaboration. I'm again re-learning the importance of collaboration Uh and and sort of for for me these days. It's like I I I essentially gave up on a lot of my partnerships in the past, you know Because I mean those partnerships that where they promoted me Then it was required that I promote them Um That was how I made a very good living the first three four You know years of my business And because I could no longer stomach the way that we were selling I couldn't I I said no to the continued promotion promotional partnerships that didn't feel true to me And so I'm re-learning how to collaborate You know because I've been I've been out of the collaborations for Really a few years now and so like I'm kind of jumping back So I left I mean you're such a you're so good at you're so good people You know, I'm just great. What what are you learning in terms of collaboration and peers and yeah You know, I get better and better george all the time about knowing who I'm going to have fun working with and who It just isn't going to work. Yeah, and I've there are certain things that I look for and If I know that something isn't going to work for me, then I refer them on to someone else I won't take it on I say I probably say no to more than I say yes to Yeah, but that's because I I want to have fun And I want to learn and I want to grow and help people to do that and If someone Is in a different place then, you know, there are others that will work for them. Yeah So that's that's what I do. Yeah, exactly. I like that. Yeah, I feel like I'm learning again to Particularly pay attention to what it is that my audience needs Then it's this kind of very subtle Observation, okay, what is it my audience needs? And then also, what is it that the partner's audience needs? And is there a match there? I mean if there's a cross promotion, but if not, it's just Stating the case very very frankly. Hey, you know looks like your audience is there's a need here. There's a gap here Um, and it's a gap that I can fill And do you agree or can you know, is there can I help? Can I be a resource? You know, I think I think I'm learning to do this. I tell my clients to do this. I feel like not enough people do that Paying attention to what different audiences need and how they Can be the key or they can really feel the gap. Anyway, that's not being covered there And at the same time noticing what my audience needs and what resources I can therefore bring Do you uh, do you ever kind of I don't know how to say this tune into the other person's energy kind of the way they're Because language gives a lot of way just how people talk about things And do you ever through those kinds of exchanges determine? Maybe this wouldn't be such a good fit just based on someone's energy Yeah, um, I I feel like uh, well, I mean I think with energy We could mean a lot of different levels of that. I think for me. I Sometimes I I say that I'm so I'm so dense in terms of the energetic Um sensitivities, but but really I think I probably sense it naturally And I feel like is there what I'm looking for is is there a feeling of mutual support Right, it's like And and in the past the mutual support was like, well, can we make each other money? And we don't care if one person really likes the other I mean not likes but like has the long-term interest of the other in mind and heart and now I'm much better at Sensing into that. It's like is there a is there a feeling of long-term? Here's the thing. Is there is there a a commitment to the long-term well-being of one another? And Is there a long term? Is there a commitment to the long-term well-being of each other's audiences? I like that absolutely so tell me how are you getting a sense of energy or how how is that Working for you. So when you talk about long-term I I've Usually most of the time really looked at long-term such as Media for example I may not get a story with someone now But a few years from now. I mean I remember you remember, you know the show fresh air with terry gross, of course So one of the producers there it took me 10 years To connect with her. Yeah, I sent her christmas cards. Oh my gosh. Yeah, because I wanted to get to know her I was going to get to know her and I didn't know when And so I like that kind of a long-term approach to things and the same with my clients I've got clients that I've worked with they come back You know when they have a new project. Yeah I I like that. I like to get to know people really well I don't have to work with them all the time We can do campaigns here and then a pause and then a campaign again I I find that very rewarding And fulfilling. Yeah You could you can almost talk shorthand to the person because you get to know each other so well Yeah, so yeah, that's cool. Yeah So is there anything uh on the horizon that's exciting for you? I mean in terms of like the development in the market or kind of what's possible for us coming down the pike anything like that that's These days, I mean first of all, I just wanted and I asked the same question of you too But I have got such amazing people that I'm working with right now So I'm just so grateful, you know to attract people who are up to such interesting things So when I'm talking to someone they're telling me about their book or their project and I get all excited then It's it's just really fun. Yeah, I think that Looking forward, you know, they'll always be new platforms. They'll always be new strategies There's new things coming down the pike. I really think the main thing we need to really embrace Is learning and learning quickly Yeah, I I heard this story from this description from Richard Bandler And I think it's a really good one. I'd love to share it and that is our brains automatically learn quickly if we had if I had like a A pad of paper with stick figures drawn on it And and I went And it showed the stick men standing up and walking across and doing something in the other side of the room You would get that but if I handed you one card One one every week you would have no idea Yeah going on with that. Yes. So the brain sees patterns. It gets it. So I personally I think that that is exactly what all of us have to be doing is Really opening up and embracing the belief that learning is good and we can do it and we can do it really quickly So I love that. Yeah you're instilling faith in our human abilities to It almost like what you're suggesting is to kind of Rather than forcing it To kind of absorb and just to be willing to stay open Continue to allow information to come to us and and be I guess even relaxed enough to allow the patterns to emerge You know, because I think sometimes when we force it and we're like trying to figure something out Um, we're wasting a lot of energy Whereas if we kind of calmly let the information come to us trying to solve a problem or Trying to come to a new insight Which kind of let the information come to us and then calmly Um, it does come it does come when the when the time is right the patterns emerge and we oh my gosh How come I didn't see that before I come I didn't have that insight before Yeah, your frustration shuts everything down So when you start to get frustrated notice it early and go do something else Yes, go for a run. Go for a walk. Yes. Go play with the dog or the cat. How are your kiddies doing? Doing great. They're doing great. They're like right here right here in the right I don't know if I can even show them. Yeah. Well, there's um, I might Right, yeah, there's a cat right there. I know it's kind of and then there is another cat right there. Oh, there we go Okay And then I have a I have a new dog. I don't know. Yeah, I have a dog now. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, buddy and uh, He's he's super cute. I he's kind of taken over our lives Yeah, so uh Yeah, so I and one more thing I'll say about about kind of what even with all the new platforms that are building I think it's really important to remind ourselves that It's easy to lose touch with the importance of relationships um And and this is why I'm kind of doing these kindred spirit conversations again because There's this illusion that we can just learn some new platform and put our things out there and it's going to go viral and um the truth I've learned over at least seven years and I've failed at it multiple times is If we are willing to help the one Truly truly help the one Whoever that is today, um that we're engaging with it could be in a conversation like this or it could be um someone commenting asking a question on our you know over email or Or it could be with a client or it could be someone we see in a group. They have a question Like if we could really help the one um It it doesn't matter what platform we're using be using facebook snapchat. Whatever it's like Whatever platform we're using over email, you know Help the person that we're with love the person we're with and We we stand out but but really I think it's the it's the it's the thing to do that makes our lives fulfilling and makes our business this business is worthwhile, you know and I'm learning that again relearning it You know the biggest failure is if you have total business success and you're unfulfilled You know So I mean being successful in your work and at the same time living the art that is life Yeah, is is the key. Yeah That's beautiful. It's the key. Yeah Well, this is a good place to end our recording So I'm just going to stop the recording. Hope everyone enjoyed it. Yeah, I'll join I'll include the links to your website websites down Thank you

At least one personnel with experience treating venomous bites and stings must be available on standby while SCP-495 is in use. Description SCP-495 appears to be the oven from a 1992 Toy Mac Creepycrawler's playset, saved at the Creepycrawler's logo sticker has been replaced with a logo from a 1964 Mattel Thingmaker hotplate. A toy of virtually identical function to the more recent Toy Macs version. Discontinued by Mattel in the 1970s due to insufficient safety features. While SCP-495 is plugged into a standard 120 volt power outlet, it functions in the normal Creepycrawler's oven. When not plugged into a power outlet, SCP-495 displays the following anomalous behavior. Upon insertion of a filled or partially filled mold, SCP-495's activation switch moves to the on position automatically. The internal heating lamp appears to remain unlit, but the oven begins to gain warmth from an unknown source, reaching a peak internal temperature of 257.2 degrees Celsius, as measured by infrared camera. After approximately 8 minutes, SCP-495's activation switch moves to the off position automatically. Contrary to the behavior of a standard Toy Mac's Creepycrawler oven, SCP-495's door will open immediately, instead of remaining locked while the mold cools. All molded items will animate upon removal from the oven, behaving as though they were natural organisms. Animated objects are physically detailed well beyond what their mold would seem to allow, appearing physically identical to their natural counterparts, save for unusual coloration corresponding to the materials used to fill their molds. Dissection of animated objects reveals tissues and other internal structures composed entirely of whatever material was used to fill the mold. Any substance and mold used with SCP-495 will produce results. Handmade molds are substances other than Toy Mac's or Mattel plastic goop, such as chocolate or wax, will result in animate objects. Addendum Just because they're made of plastic doesn't mean they're safe. Where the venom comes from, I don't know, but Agent ██████ is now in the infirmary after being bit by a tiny purple asp. Please treat the products of SCP-495 as you would any venomous animal. Dr. ██████ Dr. ██████


Ding Bobber on Twitch. What's your take on the secret worldwide one-eye religion that all major players on the world stage and behind the scenes belong to? Also known as the true free mainstream which is a fraternity within a fraternity and it's a cloak sainism. Do you think this has anything to do with the way geopolitics plays out? Wrong stream. Haha. Not a wrong stream Ding Bobber but my take is that there are different factions to play right now. It's just not one group of you know Satanist and Freemasons. Freemasons has a lot to do with it but there are different factions of Freemasons all over the place right there's the I forget all the names I forget all the names right and if you go beyond this you could go into you know human beings really being if I want to say the aliens in this world right and being controlled with the different you know you can look into the cliff high stuff so I don't think it ends you know there's one branch you can go down with the Freemasons right controlling different things and stuff like this but there are multiple multiple branches kicking off that and that goes beyond the Freemasons even right so I don't agree that it's just ends with the Freemasons Freemasons or the end all are using more emerald calm yeah Pakistan take a look at what's going on in Pakistan whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa civil war indeed civil war indeed could possibly go hot could possibly go hot GB damn cliff high that's a name I don't listen I don't listen in a while yeah listen to cliff high is pretty good but if you want to go down a rabbit hole cliff high is phenomenal I agree with everything he says but on an economic front he's bang on on a historical front is pretty good right on the religious front a cult front he's pretty educated takes you down a rabbit hole that I personally would never go down but I find it intriguing right


Good morning folks. Steve Rhodes coming to you live from the shores of sunny Delray Beach, Florida. This year, 11 am update and a bit of a mixed bag just like yesterday that makes coming from the Dow and the Dow transports. The Dow is up 152 about a half a percent three tens for the trannies are up about 49. The S&P is up four three right now. NDX is down 31. Russell is off 10 points. It's about a half percent move to the downside. The SMI is there trading for about 1% 29 points. Gold is off two bucks. Silver 22 pennies to the downside. Like to recruit is up 48 cents natural gas taking a little bit of a breather. It's down three pennies. 30 year treasures down one point and one tick tradeout at 12205. Let's try to figure out what all that means by taking a look at that nine panel market update chart. You begin with the ES mini. The ES mini today is going to form bar number nine of a TD night out pattern. That suggests that the low should form today or tomorrow with a bounce up into its oscillator and change line. I don't have that on this sheet here. But we'll take a look at that most certainly during the Trader's Ed show. We take a look at spot follow techniques right now. It's positioned in favor of the bulls for the S&P 500. Why? Because prices below its 50 day exponential moving average. The 50 day is a 2078 price right now trading out at 2043. We take a look at the end queue. It too is going to form a TD nine count bottom pattern today. Well of course it depends on its close. But right now that's the position that it's in. It still has to form bar number nine. Out there we'll take a look at those details during the Trader's Ed show. But that is suggesting a move higher as well. The end queue would target around the 12275 area. The US dollar index is traded above the top of its daily profile. The top of that profile, 104.82. If it closes above that today, that's suggesting move up toward test that TD nine count breakdown level or the TD nine threshold level. I should say at 105.32. You close above that. The dollars headed to the moon. Goldilocks has a nice TD nine count bottom pattern with price consolidating with inside its daily profile. Resistance up at 1856. Silver formed a new profile yesterday. It is bullish in structure. Your support look don't have any kind of a bottom pattern. But prices above that 2083 level and another close above that is suggesting to you and I that Silver wants to make a run to 2213. I just wish we had a nice bottoming pattern out there. But take a look at late sweet crude just consolidate with inside its daily profile. That range between 7440 as support and 79 and a quarter 79.244 resistance. Natural gas, even though it's pointing back just a tad strong like bull. If you take a look at the last four or five trading sessions on every pullback, it's not even come close. Maybe one day came close to testing the prior low out there prices above the top of its bullish structure. Daily profile that suggests a much higher price. Folks, stay tuned for the trader said show if you want, but if you have to start Thursdays,

If this brand comes out with another flavor of chip, I will probably eat that bag as well. I care precisely not at all. If this is gonna sound really strange, and it's gonna sound like it doesn't make any sense. Hey guys, it's Liana, and I'm here today to talk about The Black Tongue Thief by Christopher Buhlman. Do I recommend this book? Kinda. So I picked this up because I heard pretty much nothing but amazing things from everybody. And I actually haven't looked at the back of this book until right this second, but it's blurbed by you name them, Glenn Cook, Brent Weeks, Anthony Ryan, Nicholas Eames, Django Wexler, Jonathan French, A.K. Larkwood. And I heard a lot of book reviewers also who had early copies of it praising it.  Also the premise of it, for once I did actually read the synopsis for a book. The way that I summed it up was that it's like grim dark about student debt, which it kind of is, because in this main character, studied for the Thieves Guild how to be a thief, but now he owes the Thieves Guild how a money and has to like figure out a way to pay them back. Otherwise they're gonna come for him, which that's literally student debt. Did I like it overall? Yes. Would I recommend it? Maybe. I ended up giving this book three stars because I sort of felt like the pros and cons kind of like balanced out at a three. I've said before that I don't tend to do standalone book reviews for books that I give a three star rating to because not because I have any against that or anything, but because I typically film standalone book reviews for books that I have a lot to say about. And I typically only have a lot to say about something if I really love it, so five stars, or if I really hate it, one star. Usually I have to feel very strongly, either positively or negatively, but very strongly in order to feel like a standalone review is warranted or that I even have enough to say to fill one. So why am I doing a standalone review? For the black tank thief, when I gave it three stars. Well, I feel very strongly about the positives and I don't feel super, super strongly about the negatives, but nonetheless, they made me dock two whole stars. So, to whom would I recommend this book? I guarantee you have no idea what I'm about to say. I would recommend this book to fans of Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. Angela's Ashes was my official favorite book for a long time, like the one that I would name if someone said, what is your favorite book? Now, I can't really, I don't have an answer for that and I prefer not to have an answer for that because I don't think you can have, maybe you can. All I have to say, I really, really, really, really love Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt, which is a memoir. It's not fantasy, it's not even fiction. The memoir of Frank McCourt is miserable, impoverished childhood in Ireland. That's what this reminds me of the most out of anything. It feels like Frank McCourt, but placed in a grim dark fantasy where he's a thief and there's like magic and monsters, et cetera. But the vibe, the tone, the humor, the character, it's himself, the main character, Kynch Nishanak screams Frank McCourt to me. And so for that alone, like the full three stars is basically for that. I felt precisely zero investment in the plot and even less investment in any of the side characters. I was, there was kind of a lot going on all the time and I wasn't really, I neither cared nor did I super clearly understand what was going on or what was meant to be going on or what I was meant to care about or whatever. I just so thoroughly enjoyed being in the headspace of this character and just going along with him and his voice and his humor. And if you listen to the audiobook, which I recommend, if you're gonna pick up this book at all, I highly recommend you experiencing it as an audiobook because it is narrated by the author himself, which is a very hit and miss. A lot of authors should never even consider narrating their own books. But some authors do it very well. Neil Gaiman does a very good job narrating his own books when he does it. I know there's someone else that does this. Oh, well Joe Abercrombie, he read one of the short stories in sharp ends, but I mean, Steven Pacy, who is the majority narrator for first law is the greatest of all time. But anyway, basically an author narrating their own work is not necessarily a recipe for success. In this case, there might be other narrators that could have done a good job as well, but this author did a very good job narrating his own book and it's written with a lot of slang and jargon and dialect that is very reminiscent to me again of Frank McCourt. I read Angel Satches as a physical book and then I also went and listened to the audio some years later and that is actually read by Frank McCourt as well. I tend to think it is a good idea if the book is a memoir because this is a person telling their own life story. So them reading it is not too dissimilar from them just telling you their own life stories if you're sitting down and having a drink with them. So Frank McCourt, the way he narrates his own book, it was very similar to me to how Christopher Buhlman narrates Black Chang Thief. It's this very thick Irish bro. There's again a lot of slang and jargon and it just flows sort of melodically and I feel like it would be much more difficult to get into this if I was reading the physical book and I didn't have that sort of like lyrical Irish accent in my head and just like looking at it now. I mean, yeah, it's written in a way with again, a lot of slang, jargon, dialect. And the thing is because this is told in first person then that dialect isn't only present in dialogue because basically this whole book is like dialogue at you, the reader, this character talking to you, telling you this story. So even the parts that are not dialogue are in this kind of flowing dialectical style. So again, audiobook, that's how to experience this. And I watch a lot of British TV. I watch a lot of movies and end shows that have heavy accents, Cockney accents, posh accents, Irish accents. I don't have, like my ears, it tuned to that already so I didn't have trouble understanding it. I did see some people complaining that it was hard to understand what the author is saying in the audiobook because of the accent. If that's the case for you, listen to it more slowly because it's a wonderful accent and it adds a lot of flavor and a lot of color to the characters and to the story. There's also a lot of songs in it which looking at the credits for the audiobook, the voice is similar enough to where I thought that was Christopher Buhlman singing and I was quite impressed with the singing voice but it's actually not him singing, someone else is singing it but it still has this like Irish accent and it's a very, the timbre of the voice is very similar to Christopher Buhlman's so it's not jarring or anything. It's not like Christopher Buhlman's voice and then someone else singing and then Christopher Buhlman's voice and someone else singing. It, I thought it might be him singing. But yeah, so the plot, it feels kind of like I don't actually play very many video games, I don't play any video games but it kind of feels like a video game where there's kind of generally speaking like a quest and end goal and there's a lot of stuff that comes in the way and a lot of people you meet along the way that give you some information or join your quest or give you a thing and then some big beastie gets in your way and then this other problem present itself and I guess I could say that about any fantasy plot. You could describe any fantasy that way I suppose. That's really all that's going on. Like I didn't feel any great depth to the character relationships. I didn't feel like a great overarching thing was really happening, although I guess this is the first in a series. It really just kind of felt like hanging out for a few days with, what's his name again? Kinshna Shannak, just hanging out with this super fast talking Irish speaking fellow and going on this merry adventure and the adventure itself, yeah. At no point was I like super needing to know what would happen next or how it would end or where this would go or would it be resolved? I didn't care really at all. This is gonna sound really strange and it's gonna sound like it doesn't make any sense. I apologize but I can't explain it any other way. I thought the world building was excellent but I cared not at all about the world building which is to say the world building felt extremely fleshed out and organic and lived in and nuanced in that way where when it would come up, when we would be encountering things, the way they would be described to us had this, this, I don't know how to explain it but there was enough flavor to sort of where this came from and how people regard it and it didn't feel like an encyclopedia spewing like this is how this thing works and these are the rules for it. It felt very lived in where like describing how the coins look and why you like one versus another and how people regard these coins and how they are used and why one looks like this and one looks like another and just the way that people would talk to each other and the narrator would explain to you sometimes why this joke works or how this people does a thing and then they would do that thing and it felt very real for that reason. All the little bits of lore that would like get peppered in because they would be serving the purpose of explaining this article of clothing, this coin, this, the name of this place. Like there would be these little moments which were kind of reminiscent to me sometimes of footnotes and other fantasies but they weren't footnotes. They were just kind of, it feels like if you were suddenly in this world and the person guiding you through this world is Kinshna Shanak. I keep forgetting his name, Kinshya, Kinshna Shanak and if like you were going to town in this foreign land with Kinshna Shanak and he's just gonna kind of tell you about like, oh well you know of course there was the war of this and then this lady did that and this noble said this and it ended up going down like this and that's why you have this one tavern called this but we didn't go to that one. We went to this other tavern which is called this and like it just felt very lived in which is what I've said like 10 times now. And so I appreciated that. It felt very organic, the Irishiness, the jokes, the colloquialisms, the idiomatic expressions, the insults, the weird idiosyncrasies of how these like different people to interact with each other and like the sort of the comedic opportunities presented by that. The songs themselves were beautiful and very amusing. They felt sort of like Irish tavern songs that have sign of like kind of a body humor and a double entendre is mixed in. And so I just, I had a really great time just kind of diving with this character in this world kind of like going to the Renfair where I'm just like loving the atmosphere, loving the vibes but the story, the plot, the world other than the incidentally idiomatic organicness of it I don't care about at all. If at any point during the book I had to stop I wouldn't be like gagging to know what happens next. And I guess this is the beginning of a series but I can't say, I mean, I'll probably pick up the next one if it's narrated again by Christopher Buhlman because I'll wanna vibe with it again but I didn't feel any great need to know what, where this goes now, what will happen to our heroes. I care precisely not at all. It's a really good time, which is all I can say. Like it doesn't really stick with me. I didn't feel any investment in it but I had a great time while I was gone along with this character in this world. So would I recommend it for a good time? Yes, this is like a bag of chips which would I recommend for just enjoying and finding tasty? Yes, would I recommend because you get any nutritional value from it because it's a meal that you'll remember for a long time that you'll recommend other people that you would give five Michelin stars to? No, but you know, a great bag of chips that I enjoyed while I ate it. Enjoyed a whole heck of a lot. If this brand comes out with another flavor of chip I will probably eat that bag as well. So let me know in the comments down below if this was helpful to you at all. If you agree or disagree with me if you've read it or if I've now inspired you to pick it up or to not pick it up, whatever you wanna let me know.

Now, let us say you have this random sample x 1 to x n drawn from this Gaussian mu sigma square. If you look into this quantity x bar minus mu divided by sigma square 1, the claim is this is going to be Gaussian with mean 0 and variance 1 or this is going to be normal distribution. Everybody agree with this? How to compute again? Again just to do go and do your moment generating function calculate for this and you will actually see that you will end up getting ok. One quick way to verify that this is indeed have a mean is like how to what is the if you compute this? Can I write it as can I write it like this? Because sigma square by constant I pulled it out and expectation of x bar minus mu and I know that expectation of x bar is mu that is why it is 0 and in a similar way you can also compute variance of x bar minus mu by sigma square by n which is nothing but covariance of x bar mu agree with this and now we know that this is nothing but 1 upon sigma square by n whole square covariance of x bar minus mu x bar minus mu right. Now, if you just expand this you will see that this will actually turn out to be just one ok. Now, first let us simplify further break down the problem instead of assuming that both mu and sigma square unknown let us assume that sigma square is known ok. What is unknown is only the mean value is unknown and now if that is the case can I understand from this value how much is the difference? Now, I now only mu is unknown and I want to quantify how much is the difference? I want to basically let us say I want to ask this question whether this is going to be greater than epsilon if I want to ask this question.  Now, can I ask what is the probability that x bar minus mu is greater than epsilon sigma square by n. Can I compute this probability? . Huh? . Ok, what is that phi of ok x bar what is the distribution of x bar minus mu normal ok. Everybody agree? Now, I cannot directly use the phi function here right I need to do couple of more steps here what are those couple of more steps? Ok let us write here this is nothing but probability that x bar minus mu greater than epsilon sigma square by n and no wait a minute. So, what I want is this difference I wanted to be lying in this region outside right this difference I wanted to be exceeding some region let us write this this x minus mu should be let us say ok maybe you should write like this on this and this probability that x bar minus mu greater than epsilon sigma square by n plus probability that x bar minus mu less than minus epsilon sigma by square is this correct? I am just writing this part into these two probabilities like when this is positive quantity it should be there when it is negative it should be equal to this ok. Now, what I know about this I can further simplify this step ok where I can write now this is nothing but 1 minus probability that x bar minus mu less than epsilon sigma square by n plus probability that x minus mu less than or equals to minus epsilon sigma square by and by our definition what is this quantity? But notice that x minus mu what is the distribution of x minus mu and when I want to apply phi function I want to make sure that the distribution of this quantity is normally distributed. So, what I will do is I think I should have avoided this circus what should I have done is I should have kept this x minus mu sigma square by n this is less than epsilon and plus probability that x minus mu sigma square by n less than minus epsilon and now I know that this quantity is what normally distributed right. So, this is nothing but 1 minus phi of phi of epsilon right and what is this other quantity this is phi of minus epsilon right. Now, notice that this all I could do provided my sigma square is known. Now, I know that if I know that now I am able to understand how much is my difference actually there is one small caveat here like the way I used I am now basically asking my difference x bar minus mu to be greater than this quantity ok. Now I am, but this can be anything that is given to you suppose let us say you have been asked x bar minus mu let us say you want to find it this value to be greater than gamma. Now, all this my method works if I set my gamma to be epsilon sigma square by n and so actual sigma is gamma n by sigma square right. So, if I want to know that my difference is greater than gamma then I should be writing this epsilon to be gamma n divided by sigma square. So, this should be actually 1 minus gamma n by sigma square plus gamma minus gamma n by sigma square is that clear? It is clear you wanted me to do more calculations is that fine all these details ok. Now, but unfortunately many times we may not even know gamma square right both mean and variance could be unknown, but in that case I cannot apply this directly ok. Then what is the method for that? For that we have a method which were proposed by one of the famous statistician long back I think in early 1800s GS Gosset I do not know it is 1800s or early 1900s long back statistics is a very old subject. So, lot of people have a in about lot of actually development in statistics is happened in early 1900s. So, lot of these results are pretty old actually, but now if you see that most of these results are now repackaged and now you see them as machine learning methods ok. When you do machine learning actually you will be basically doing this you will having data trying to extract information from the data ok. Now, when sigma square is n is known you could do this and you got a normal distribution and that helped you to find out what is the error. Now, but when you do not know I have to do find some proxy for sigma square right what is a good proxy for sigma square sample variance. So, that is what what I will do is instead of sigma square I will go and put sample variance I think why is this data make any mistake either should it be square root or it should be square root right everywhere. Everybody agree? It should have been square root of sigma square by instead of square root by n. Now, that is what now sigma squares rox is s square and when I put under square root it becomes simply s by square root n. Now, I am saying that ok I do not know sigma square let us take a its sample estimator and I will put it like this. Now, the resulting distribution of this notice that x bar is a random variable s is a random variable. So, this whole quantity is a random variable when this samples are coming from population which is Gaussian with mu sigma square then this quantity x bar minus mu s by n has a distribution which is called student t distribution with n minus degrees of freedom. Now, what is that distribution? Now, let us try to find out actually what is the distribution of this quantity and how does this t distribution look like ok. We will do some manipulation this is the quantity of our interest x bar minus mu divided by s by square root n what I will do is I will divide and multiply by sigma by square root n ok. If I do the sigma by square root n you will get this expression. Notice that I do not know what is the actual value of sigma, but let us say that I could do this sigma by square root n I have just done this. Now, I am going to look into this as a ratio of two random variables the numerator is this quantity and the denominator is this quantity. What is the purpose of doing it like this separating numerator and denominator? If you now notice is the numerator is a quantity which I know right which is x bar minus mu sigma by x n square which has a Gaussian distribution and the denominator has this s square by sigma square. Suppose if I multiply it by n minus 1 I know that we just discuss that this has a chi square distribution with n minus 1 degrees of freedom right. So, what I have basically done is and also notice that we just discuss that this quantity and this quantity they are independent of each other when it is Gaussian distributed is not it. So, this quantity is just like this normalized version centralized and normalized and this was sigma square say square by sigma square when we multiplied by n minus 1 we notice that this is a chi square distribution and these two are independent. So, you have to be careful like what we actually said is x square and s square are independent ok, but here we are saying this quantity u and this quantity v they are independent this needs little bit thinking right. We know that s bar and s square are independent, but here x square is being subtracted by constant mu and normalized by sigma whereas, this quantity s square is also multiplied by constant n minus 1 by sigma square. So, both these s square here by multiplied by constant and this x bar is also manipulated with some constant. If you just add and multiply add some constant or multiply constants does this change their independence nature? No right. So, that is why that is why we are we are doing this sigma is unknown, but you just take some sigma value it is constant here it is unknown, but in this computation it is a constant ok. We are notice that I have right hand exactly sigma I have not put it as an it is estimator or something. So, this is that constant only. Now, if you now look into this this quantity here nothing, but in terms of our representation numerator is simply u and the denominator is simply v by n minus 1 and this quantity and denominator they are independent of each other. So, this helps us to compute the distribution of this quantity which you are calling as t distribution. Now, if you use this property now what we have let us call that is call our z, z is our quantity of interest which is mu by s by square root of n which now we are able to write it as v u by v by n minus 1. So, I can treat as now z as function of these two random variables u and v and we know how to compute distribution of functions of random variables right. If you recall all the methods that we studied earlier where we use Jacobian and all right to find out the distribution of joint distributions we can use that method here. And now if you do that I am jumping the step now if you do that you will actually end up the distribution of here I am calling this as x this as x will have t distribution denoted by T p and it will end up with this kind of pdf function and this is for all x between minus infinity to plus infinity and this is exactly called t distribution or denoted as T p with p degrees of distribution. So, when I say now henceforth my notation is when I write T p this is a t distribution with p degrees of freedom and as a special case when I said p equals to 1 this will end up with this simple form which has a special name called Cauchy distribution ok. Now quickly you may be wondering how that this magically come up this distribution. As I said this come from computing the joint distributions ok. So, let us take you have this u and v and we know that u and v are independent and we know the distribution of u, u is Cauchy distribution and v is chi-square distributed with n minus 1 degrees of freedom since u and v are independent I should be able to write their joint pdf right just take their product because of their independence and now define two random variables x like this y like this and then just to find the joint distribution of f of y in terms of the joint distribution of u and v that we have done using Jacobian method earlier and now you will see that after that you find out after you find the joint distribution you find the marginal that will exactly give you whatever written here. Again this needs to be verified that is why I have this you need to check. Again I will post you the book where these computations are done, but you need to go and verify that it is very difficult and not really difficult it will be like I do not want to sit out and work out all the details this all the details you already know ok.


Jackson on the last 40 hours. We've got four and a half minutes left on the clock here right now. Hello? Baker? Mr. Dorsey, how are you? Good, how are you? I'm pretty good, thank you. I've got you on speakerphone here. You won't be the first pick in the draft? Huh? Yeah, I do. Well, buddy boy, I want you to get excited here because I'm so excited for you, and I can't wait to see you tomorrow. Let's do it! Guys from the Cleveland Browns, they have to get it right. They've got to get the right quarterback. With the first pick in the 2018 NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns select. Distressed, agitated. And it's getting ugly here in Cleveland. History hasn't been too kind to the Cleveland Browns. Often defeated and hardly victorious. The Browns were desperately in need of a savior. It's taking one game at a time and not really listening to anybody. Baker Mayfield was a quarterback at Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas. During his tenure, he threw for over 6,000 yards, 67 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions. Despite his solid numbers, Mayfield was listed as a three-star recruit. And that was not very well received. So he, you know, I think it was a little bit insulting to him. Receiving interest from smaller schools like Rice in New Mexico, Mayfield felt disrespected for not receiving more interest. He took the chance at becoming a walk-on at Texas Tech. After starting quarterback Michael Brewer injured his back, Mayfield became the first-ever walk-on true freshman quarterback to start a season opener. Mayfield thrived as the starter until midway through the season. After going 5-0, Mayfield was forced to miss a few games due to an injury. He would be cleared to compete at the end of the year, but an unusual decision by head coach Cliff Kingsbury led to Davis Webb finishing out the season. Mayfield has said there was no communication between him and Kingsbury. No explanation on why he lost his starting job. Looking back, this might have been the greatest thing that happened to him. This led to Mayfield transferring to Oklahoma. I was hearing the rumors that he's transferring to Oklahoma. I've never talked to the guy and he's never called to ask if he could. By NCAA rule in my release forms, I couldn't talk to him. I wasn't going to take a chance and have to sit out another year.  No, I didn't see it coming. Baker Mayfield was a blessing for the Sooners during his three-year tenure. 12,000 yards, 119 touchdowns, only 21 interceptions, three-time Heisman Trophy candidate, an eventual winner in 2017. This year's Heisman Trophy winner is Baker Mayfield of the University of Oklahoma. But with his greatness came controversy. Mayfield has been arrested in Fayetteville, Arkansas in charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and arrest and fleeing the scene. Going into the NFL draft, Mayfield's character was in question. They believed his past and his persona would be a distraction to their organization.  What are you grabbing stuff that, why? That's inappropriate, uncalled for, and that right there, NFL GMs are going to see that. Teams have said, what kind of guy are we getting? Are we getting another Johnny or are we getting a guy that's not going to learn from his mistakes? I don't know me at all. With all the off-field questions and teams heavily favoring USC's Sam Darnold as the best quarterback in the 2018 draft, no one knew who Mayfield would play for. But the day of the draft, one team decided to take a chance. McLean Brown select, Baker Mayfield. Wow. It is Baker Mayfield. And what was a shocker to some, Baker Mayfield was the first player selected in the 2018 NFL draft. As big of a moment this was, there was still one obstacle left. The Browns acquired Teraud Taylor from the Buffalo Bills before the draft. The plan was to make Taylor the starter in 2018 while Mayfield sits and learns. That was until week three of the 2018 season. And now Taylor is going to go down. Well, Teraud Taylor right now is currently in the blue medical tent, which does indicate that he is being evaluated for a concussion. We get a chance to see what Baker Mayfield's going to do. Here's Wall, airs it out, downfield pass. This crowd deserved to see that first win at home. And so that's the thing I'm most proud of is we put it together for the fans at home. The Browns had not won a game in 635 days. In his first game, Baker Mayfield led the Cleveland Browns to a victory. A team that suffered through their fair share of quarterbacks. A franchise that hasn't won a playoff game since 1994. An organization that has never reached the Super Bowl. If it's just something I've been built, it's never been about what happens, it's how you deal with it. It's about focusing on the next thing. Will Baker Mayfield be the one to turn this team around? The pass is the pass. You've got to hit the reset button. You've got to take the next step forward.


Well on Christmas Eve, a child custody exchange in the parking lot of the law enforcement center in Alabama ended in tragedy when two children witnessed the fatal shooting of their father. An organization in Brainerd is working to ensure incidents like this do not happen in Crow and County. The Alex and Brandon Child Safety Center was established in the year 2000 to ensure safe and supervised child custody exchanges and visitations in the Region 5 area. The Child Safety Center is a member of the supervised visitation network, a membership organization, the professionals who provide supervised visitation and access services to families. It's extremely important to our community because what we're able to offer here is a building that was specifically constructed, taking into consideration wanting to prevent the most impact, most negative impact that volatile exchanges and visits would have on children. The building is equipped with audio and visual security to ensure the safety of clients and staff during visits. It offers three separate and secure indoor rooms equipped with toys, games and even a kitchen where families can prepare and enjoy a meal together. The Alex and Brandon Child Safety Center was established after two area children were murdered by their father in a custody exchange, prompting the need for a safe and secure facility. The name came from two young boys that were murdered by their father in 96 and it was a divorce that was not going well. So their mother and the founding mother of the Minnesota Women's Center got together and raised money and built this place so that hopefully it would never ever happen again to another family. The Alex and Brandon Safety Center is open 365 days a year. Anyone is welcome to use their services with or without a court order.

Dear students, we are talking about the divisional organizational structures and within that we have discussed the matrix and the mixed organizational structure and now we are going to talk about various different other structures which exist beyond the type of structure that is covered under the matrix and mixed organizational structures. The first one in that domain is the heterarchy. Heterarchy from its name it is a combination of two words heterogeneous and arky. So managing your organization in a heterogeneous way which means that there is not a hierarchy there is heterarchy in a heterogeneous way. So there are mixed type of structures existing in your organization and not a single hierarchical structure which is in one line. In a heterarchy the multinational organization it has different kinds of center apart from the headquarters and why does that happen? That happens because it's not essential that a competitive advantage is available only in one country or only in the parent country. It is possible that when you are working on the global level operating on the global level where you have different competitive advantages in different areas for example in some places you get a very cost effective raw material, in some places you get a very cost effective labor, in some areas you get technological advances and R&D where you get a very good opportunity. Apart from that it is possible that in some areas your market is very big for example if you are working in India or you are working in Pakistan and you are working in consumer goods then you have a huge market. So that is a competitive advantage which is not present in let's say a Scandinavian country or in Finland or in France because there are very few populations as compared to the India-Pakistan region. So that means that competitive advantage is not limited to one country and therefore you may have different centers, power centers which are driving your organization from various different forces and your organization is not just being managed through the headquarters. In this particular type of structure from HRM perspective you have to adopt a normative system of control for rewards and punishment rather than a hierarchical setup. So you have got to go to a normative system, normative system is one which operates on norms based on norms rather than what your rules, policy and job description says. So in that kind that is a kind of system which is more flexible which is more open which is more organic and in that you need to have a more normative system which is your norms and your culture and your traditional, your organizational traditions based on your strict hierarchy because you are trying to tap particular competitive advantages from different places. So you cannot say that the manager here, the manager in Pakistan should have as much salary as in a small, very less populated country because that person is looking after a very large population in a consumer market setup so that has to vary accordingly. So normative system of rewards and punishment has to be established in that kind of a heterarchy. It demands skillful and experienced HR managers who can create this normative system of control and reward. It's not always easy to, you know, if you have a set of system written down rules and policies written down system to follow it's always easier to follow that but if you are working on a more flexible on a normative system in which you have to satisfy your employees as an HR manager while you are going for a certain way of controlling the rewards and punishment you have to be a lot more skilled and experienced HR manager. All right then another type of organizational structure is the transnational. Transnational is an advanced level of multinational organization and transnational when you call an organization a transnational organization it means that it is operating on a global strategy and global philosophy of globalization. So it's not actually, you can't define the boundaries that this is a multinational and this is a transnational but transnational is a different philosophy of looking at international functions and international business. In that you actually inculcate in your organization the idea and the philosophy of being globally integrated and locally responsive. So a transnational combines the dimensions of being globally integrated and locally responsive. The transnational it also recognizes the fact that resources and responsibilities are interdependent across national boundaries. So it's not necessary that what happens in Pakistan is totally independent of what happens in the neighboring countries what happens in China or in Afghanistan or in India it's interdependent on the national boundaries. And when you are working in an international context you have to take into account all the resources which are available globally. You can't just say that the resources which are available in a particular domain in a particular country those need to be tapped. You need to look at the, actually you need to look at the entire world as a source of resource and responsibilities. And that is interdependent. And then finally the third type of organization structure is the networked organization. Now networked is also a same type of description as a heterarchy is but in a heterarchy you have a limited you know centers of power but you do have a very strong headquarters. But if you look at a networked organization you can see that the headquarters they are a part of a network and there are nodal units and centers which exist in the boundaries of the corporate headquarters and they are almost having the same kind of power and influence on the rest of the functions on the rest of the areas of the organization. So the corporate headquarters is just named headquarters but the power and the interdependence of the nodal units and centers they have a huge influence on the networked organization.
