On a certain day, don't sleep on me, okay? A man was going about selling hats in the tropical heat of India, village to village, selling hats. In the afternoon, he was very tired, came and sat under a tree, opened his packed lunch, heated, dosed off. After some time, he opened his eyes to his dismay, all the hats were gone. He looked around, where are the hats? Where are the hats? He couldn't find them anywhere. Just by chance, he looked up, there he saw a whole bunch of monkeys sitting their heads on. He screamed at them, they screamed back at him. He yelled, they yelled, he abused, they abused. He tried to pick up whatever, he couldn't throw it at them, they picked up whatever, they couldn't throw it back at him. Out of sheer frustration, not knowing what to do, he took his hat and flung it on the ground, not knowing what to do helplessly. All the monkeys took their hats and flung it on the ground. He picked up these hats and went about selling hats. That was in early twentieth century. This is 2009, November, another hat seller going about selling hats. In the summer season, and in the afternoon, he came and sat in the tree. He opened his packed lunch, ate, promptly fell asleep. When he woke up, the hats were gone. He didn't look around, he looked straight up. All the monkeys were sitting with hats on. He got up and jived. They all jived with him. He made faces, funny faces at him, at them. They made funnier faces at him. He had all the fun he wanted to have with them. And then, he took his hat and flung it on the ground.  There is scientific evidence that monkeys are evolving. About human beings, there is no such thing because what is human cannot evolve unconsciously. When you were a monkey, you… I'm sorry, I did not say this, Charles Darwin, you know? Not me, okay?   When you were a monkey, you did not desire, I want to be human. Nature just pushed you on. But once you become human, now either you evolve consciously or you stagnate. That's all the choice you have. From here, you cannot evolve unconsciously because now what you call as human is not an established state. Please see this. Every other creature has established states of what they are. What is human is not established. This moment you can be god-like, next moment you can be brute-like, isn't it? Isn't it so? What is human is a flux. You can be anything you want and this is the human being's struggle. Right now human beings are not suffering their bondage, they are suffering their freedom. You could choose to be anything you want right now, this moment. You could choose to be whichever way you wish to be right now within yourself. This is the struggle, isn't it? If your life also was fixed as the animal life is fixed, this is how you will be. You wouldn't be struggling so much.  See for example, a tiger is born. A tiger is not sitting and wondering, how will I become a good tiger? How to become a good tiger? Should I go to the tiger college? Just eat enough food. If you eat well, he becomes a good tiger, isn't it? You are not like that. You are born as a human being. To become a good one, how many things you have to do. Whatever you do, till the end you don't know whether you made it or not. Yes or no? Socially, in a particular society, you can look at people and say, okay, come back to this person, I am better. But by yourself, you do not know whether you are this way or that way, isn't it? Because what is human is not an established state. Every other creature, it's a fixed state. They eat well, they will become that.  Nothing else will happen. Isn't it so? Everything else has to be strived for because nature has left you free to become whatever you want to become. And right now humanity is suffering its freedom, not its bondage. If you are suffering your bondage, it's bad enough, but it's okay.  If you suffer your freedom, it's a tragedy, isn't it? Isn't it so? Once you start suffering your freedom, it's tragic because what is the way out of freedom? There's a way out of bondage. Where is the way out of freedom? I can bind myself. Please see in how many ways you're trying to bind yourself. You're trying to find a way out of freedom. There is no way out of freedom. There is a way out of bondage, but there is no way out of freedom, isn't it? Freedom is a benediction if you're aware.  So right now, don't curse your freedom. You just have to become more aware. Starting with this, how this works, if you become aware, then this freedom is such a fantastic thing, such a beautiful thing it is. Because you could be whichever way you want. You could be whatever you want right now within yourself. No animal, no creature has this freedom except the human creature, isn't it? Isn't it so? Shall we exploit this or no? If you do not choose, if you remain a compulsive creature, you cannot call yourself a full-fledged human being. That's why I said it's an evolutionary problem. Only when you're able to do everything by choice, you can say I'm human, because a human being essentially means he is what he is by choice. If he becomes compulsive, he's like any other creature, biological, that's all. Nothing more will happen.


August was my worst month for stock photo sales in years and in this video I'm going to talk about what happened. Now the only good thing that happened with stock photo sales last month was Adobe stock. Adobe stock was my number one site last month and that's the first time that has ever happened. It's the second time that Adobe stock has been higher than shutter stock on my sales so as my shutter stock has been going down Adobe stock continues to rise and so I'm pretty happy about that but that's the only good thing that happened this path months in my stock photo sales. Alright now if you've seen any of my past earnings reports one of the things you'll know is that typically in Vano Elements is my number one site each month and is number one by a good margin typically I make more than 250 dollars on Vano Elements each month and I have been for a couple years now but this month it dropped down to 10 dollars so that's a big cut going from like 250 dollars to 10 dollars. Now the reason this is is that most of my earnings from Avento came from the contributor bonus and what the contributor bonus is is what Avento does if someone doesn't download any photos for the month one of their subscribers they take that and put it into a pool and what they were doing is they would basically take that pool of money and they would distribute it evenly amongst all the contributors to the platform. Now they made a big change in how they calculate that last month where now they distribute it portionally based on the number of sales you get so because I don't have that many photos up there I actually don't get that many sales I've only got about 15 photos my portion of the contributor bonus went from 250 dollars to 3 dollars okay so this is going to be a big cut and they're going to be doing this going forward so I don't expect Avento elements to ever get up to 250 dollars again. Now to be honest the way that they're doing it now is probably more fair well not probably it is more fair than the way it was before because you have someone like me who just uploads a couple of photos and was getting like 250 dollars a month even though my sales of those photos was maybe only like five dollars whereas on Avento it's not just photos they have lots of other things like design templates you know videos website templates and things that take a lot more work to put together a lot more time to put together than a photo does so the way that it works is those ones sell at a higher price so if someone was let's say get a hundred sales on a design template as opposed to a hundred stock photo sales they're going to get a larger portion of it plus if there was a photographer on there that had thousands of photos they're obviously going to get more sales and a larger cut of the contributor bonus so it is more fail but it's a bit disappointing for me because obviously it was nice having that 250 dollars coming in every month now overall the rest of the sites were pretty much average or a bit lower than average there was really no standout sites last month I didn't make any big sales on 500 px or find out at america you look at big stock photo last month I made like 27 dollars this month it goes down to like a dollar so just overall not great sales on the rest of the sites and so that ended me up with 150 dollars in sales on uh in august now that may not seem that bad but in july as comparison I made 500 dollars so you can go and take a look at that video but it's a pretty big drop and normally I'm averaging like 300 to 600 dollars a month so going from that range down to 150 dollars is a pretty big drop and unfortunately because a lot of the drop is because of the elements and because I don't expect it to pick back up again I think I'm going to start seeing you know monthly sales in the range of 150 to maybe 400 dollars going forward so one of the things I do need to do is I really haven't had as much time to upload my photos but I have been taking a lot of photos I just haven't been processing them and uploading to the stock sites so one of the things I'm going to do over the next month is start processing and uploading more photos all these photos I've taken over the summer get those on the stock sites and that should push the number up a little bit another thing that might help my sales in the coming months is that a couple months ago I submitted some photos I had on view bug to their creative marketplace and they finally got accepted at least some of them have got accepted so if there are people going and buying stock photos on view bug at least now I've got some photos up there and I may start making some revenue from that site and that's it that's all I really have to report this month no there's not a lot to talk about when I don't make many sales but this is kind of nature of the industry right like last month I made 500 dollars this month 150 it really does go up and down my month and since I've been doing stock photography it's always been this way you have some good months and you have some bad months and what you really need to look at is kind of what you average out for the year or sometimes what you average out for the quarter if you look at your sales over a three month period it'll be more linear but when you look at it month to month it can be really be up and down like what I'm seeing these days anyways this is your first time at the channel I suggest that you go through and subscribe I do videos like this where I do my stock earnings reports but I also create videos about how to make money selling your photos online I've got a playlist up here that you I'll link to that has all of my other stock earnings reports and best of luck selling your photos online


I know that many of the people on this webinar are already very active and engaged in justice seeking, not just in Palestine and Israel, but many of the issues confronting creation. So I will not presume to be as comprehensive as I think we need to be or as I should be, but I will just basically speak to some of the priorities that this delegation has raised in its report that we heard about from partners. We all know that Palestinian and Israeli partners of the churches of Kairos, Canada, have been very clear about what is needed for realizing a just and lasting peace.  This must happen. And that the missing piece in the quest for the peace that we so desperately hope for and work for and year and for is justice. As Ross mentioned, as we colleagues on this call have mentioned, a justice that upholds respect for human rights, the dignity and equality of all is essential. We have heard from partners in Palestine who are fellow Christians that they have called on the churches around the world to engage in solidarity and that they need us to take urgent principled and prophetic action in support of a just peace. They said this many times over the decades. More recently, they've said this very clearly in December, 2009, when they issued the Kairos Palestine moment of truth. They said it again in June, 2017 in the open letter from the National Coalition of Christian Organizations in Palestine, and they have just recently articulated a cry for hope again in July, 2020. We struggle as churches in Canada about how to do this work of justice seeking for peace in Palestine and Israel because we are complicit in the injustice. As Canadians, we are complicit in the injustice. Our role in part is to amplify the call and the voices of partners, but our role is also to do our part to respond to what they have clearly stated is needed. And so there is work for us to do here in Canada. Some of the ways that we have tried to respond faithfully, this delegation visited Canadian representatives in Ramallah and in Tel Aviv. They had meetings in Ottawa in March of this year with MPs, with members of the government, with global affairs, and reiterated the calls that were made in the report. Most recently, Canadian churches have written to the Canadian government, calling for the government to use all measures at its disposal to oppose annexation and the ongoing occupation. We have called for an end to the blockade on Gaza. Kairos Canada continues to amplify the voices of the women of courage that were highlighted in this webinar throughout its programs and in meetings in Ottawa, accompanied by partners from Riyam, like Lucy and Tarik. Part of decolonizing our solidarity with our partners is for us as people of faith to ask ourselves, to ask our churches and our government some tough questions. Why does the occupation continue? What are the structures and policies and practices that maintain and sustain injustice, whether it is in Palestine and Israel or here at home in Canada, on Turtle Island? What is our role in sustaining injustice and therefore what must we do to dismantle that injustice and the systems that perpetuated? We have heard today some of the ways that we can do that and some of the ways in which we are striving to learn what are the ways that we can engage? And these are some of the questions that church leaders on this delegation wrestled with in their visits with partners and since their return. In Canada, the Canadian political context and Canadian policy have been challenged by how Canada has engaged justice-seeking in Palestine and Israel. Canadian policy is very clear that the occupation is illegal and annexation is illegal. The settlements are illegal. Canada can be more outspoken and explicit in implementing its own policy as I've articulated to support self-determination and international law and human rights. Whether at the UN or not, Canada can be a force for justice and for upholding international law. One way is that at the UN, Canada can be consistent with its own policy and with longstanding international law by voting for UN resolutions that call for an end to the occupation. We are concerned as Canadians about Canada's voting record at the UN. We were encouraged by its recent vote in December 2019 for self-determination or recognizing and affirming the self-determination of Palestinian people. But those votes need to be consistent. Those votes in favor of international law, in support of international law, need to be consistent. They cannot be piecemeal and they cannot be one-off. Our leaders, political and faith leaders, have often failed to do everything possible to work towards a just peace in Palestine and Israel. Canada has an obligation to comply with international law. Churches have an obligation to speak truth to power and to call for justice. The church leaders who participated in this delegation have been doing this, as you heard on the call today, not only with the government but within their denominations and ecumenically. One hoped for essential outcome of this webinar in hearing from we and partners and the church leaders on this delegation is that we renew our commitment in our denominations and across Canada to work for a just peace. All of us gathered today can take action and do everything we can to contribute to ending the occupation. Thank you for the action you take today, for the actions you have taken and for your continued commitment to work for justice. You will see on your screen a particular ask. The focus right now has been on the looming annexation, whether it is by a formal announcement or the creeping annexation, which has continued to take over much of the land and displace people from their homes, their farms and their communities. If there's one action you take today at the end of this webinar, please write to your MP, write to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and call on Canada to take action to oppose annexation and to end the occupation. Thank you.


Hi everyone. I'm Sanjay Gupta. I welcome you on Sanjay Gupta Tech School. So I hope you are doing good and safe. So this is day 31 of Salesforce Learning Bootcamp and prior to start Salesforce custom development, this will be the last session. So here we are going to discuss about flow best practices and in flows like two, three topics are remaining. Those are like two are somewhere related to coding. So I didn't explain them as of now. One is like how we can interact, how we can make an interaction between flow and apex. So as many of you don't know about apex, so I didn't explain that. So first we'll be learning apex and then we'll be trying to connect our flow with apex. And second is platform event triggered flow. So they're also we need to use coding. So that's why I'm skipping these two as of now. And third is orchestration. So that is also pending. So it is new feature and I also need to understand that in detail so that I can create some of the use cases for you. So these three, I'm skipping as of now, but later on I will be picking them as we will be completing the apex part. Okay, so once again, hello and welcome to everyone. Okay, so this is here you can see this is number 31 of this bootcamp. So it is like if we count total number of sessions that I conducted as of now. So it is around one month and I remember the day I started a day zero on 17th of January. And today is 17th of March. So I kept my promise. I promised you on 17th of January like I will be doing sessions totally free of cost live. I will be explaining all the concepts I will be doing all the demonstration will be giving you all the exercises will be working on the projects with you. So like I'm along with you sharing my knowledge so that you can just save your money and you can just focus on the learning only, right? So I am on my commitment and like I hope. Okay, so now I'm moving to the session. So I think Internet is creating some problem today here in Jaipur like weather is not good. So maybe you will experience some Internet issues. So apologies for that. So this is my profile. If you don't know about me, so you can just go through this profile and I can see like my video freeze. So I'm just fixing that just give me a minute. Okay, so moving to next slide. So here you can see we are following all the best practices for virtual learning, right? So if I move further here, you can see the session split times are mentioned. So today it will be kind of mix. I will be explaining some things. And if you ask questions, I will be explaining at that moment only because today I'm not going to do any demonstration. It is just straightforward session where we will be discussing about best practices of the flow, right? And I can see like in self help group, people are asking questions, but less people are replying. So please do participate and help each other so that you can understand whatever problems other folks are facing. So I didn't get much time because I'm busy with another stuff as well. So if you see any question and you know the answer, so try to answer that question and do some research so that you can also learn the things. Okay, so moving forward. So here you can see we have this bootcamp timeline. So week eight is about to complete today. And from next week, we'll be starting a big sessions. So I know lots of people are excited for that. So like I will be sharing the knowledge from the very beginning. And those sessions are designed to keep in mind like, like college students may be joining these sessions for apex programming, or maybe freshers, those are just pass out from college, they will be joining. And maybe non IT folks, those are having no coding background or folks, those who are having coding background, still they don't know the basics of apex. So for them, this session will be fruitful. So I think this week is not highlighted in proper color. So I don't know what is happening. Like some colors are not visible properly. Okay, so no need to worry. Moving to next slide. So please hear this channel link with everybody who wants to learn a custom development in detail, right? So now jumping on to our main topic, which is flow best practices. So let's discuss this first. And then we'll be having some Q&A as well. And this today's session will be short, because I have only three slides where whatever I just whatever I was able to find as a summary of best practices. So I just collected and here you can see, I have reference link as well. So I will be sharing that with you. Okay, so whenever you start working on flows, so you just need to go through all these best practices, right? So these are listed here, you can just read them line by line and try to understand. So I'm also explaining each point. And then I will be sharing the reference link and all these reference links I will be providing in our exercise sheet as well. Okay. Now before starting these best practices, let me have your focus on one more thing. So yesterday we discussed one example and I just mistakenly explained this as one or two then and three. So basically a requirement was like if any opportunity is open, so it should not be closed one and it should not be closed lost, right? So here instead of all you need to apply and so I apologize for that mistake. Like later I realized, I just explained it incorrectly. So this is the correct way one and two and three. So the stage should not be equal to close one. It should not be equals to close lost as well. And the task created is null should be true, right? So this way, if you provide this condition, then only it will be working fine. So if you have also implemented it incorrectly, so just correct it and then test it out. Okay. So now let's understand each step line by line. So first point says plan out your flow before you start building it. So this is very easy step before building the flow. You just need to think the problem like what should be the solution.  So if you have rough sketch ready, then your flow will be working fine. Otherwise, if you directly start, then lots of debugging will be required. So it always it is always suggested like plan out your flow before you start building it. Then next is build and test environment like sandbox or developer edition or before deploying to prod prod means production environment. So right now we are using developer edition or so which is free or that is available for testing purpose so that we can learn Salesforce. But whenever you will be working on the project, so clients won't use developer edition or they use like other editions which are paid ones and through those editions they can create sandboxes. So sandboxes are basically copies of prod production environment. So in sandbox, we do all the development if something is breaking. So we just try to fix that in sandbox and then we deploy things from sandbox to production. Deploy means to transfer whatever you have built in sandbox to prod, right? So moving component from one environment to another is basically known as deployment and DevOps area is basically related to that. Then third point says make all database changes at the end of the flow avoid in loop. So this I hope you remember if we have implemented the loop. So we always used update record or create record once loop is completed. Because if you write those update record create record inside the loop, so they will execute like if your loop is executing five times, so they will also be executed five times. So in Salesforce, we have some limits. Those are known as governor limits, right? So to accomplish those limits, you just need to avoid those database changes elements inside the loop. So you just need to implement them once your loop is implemented completely, right? Then provide an error handler. So we have fault element for that. So for whatever element you see like you can implement a fault element. So just implement that so that like you can design your flow in such a way whenever you see any error like your flow see any error. So a particular action can be done. So if I click on this reference, so you will see an article. So it is like Salesforce help article that I'm going to show you it is publicly available will be sharing its link in the chat so that you can just go through. So here you can see configure every fault path to send you an email. It is considered as best best practice. So here you can see. So if this create survey record fails. So here we have fault added fault path added. And here we are using a core action which is for sending email, right? So this is a simple flow. But here if create record create survey record fails for any reason. So you should be notified with the help of an email, right? So I'm going to share link of this article in the chat. So you can also go through with this. Okay. So now next point says never hard code Salesforce IDs. So whenever you are implementing any flow, so try to use variables where you can store ID. So if you remember to store a particular record ID, we used record ID variable. We never used hard coded IDs directly, right? So this should be your approach wherever you implement any flow. And next is save early and open. So this is also important. Like whenever you are implementing any flow. So at several steps, just save your flow because if you don't save and you refresh by mistake your page, so everything will be removed automatically. So then use subflow for use reusability that we already did. It reduces complexity and control data access. So yesterday I explained you like if you want to implement auto launch flow as a sub flow that is possible. We created a screen flow as well as a sub flow. So this way if you want to reduce complexity, you want to distribute your logic into different flows so that you can reuse the logic so that you can do with the help of sub flows. Then test as many permutations as you can. So there there may be different ways to implement the solution. And we saw it with different flows. So you can try and testing is also important. Like if you have implemented a flow, so test it for two, three ways, like positive case, negative case. So if you do testing properly, then you can say like your flow is implemented properly. And last is also important. So to show this point, I just need to hide my picture from the screen. So I just removed it. So last point you can see it is saying avoid mixing DML operations for setup objects and other Salesforce objects. Example if Salesforce updates an account and user record in a single transaction, so an error will occur. So we have some setup objects like one setup object is user object, which is provided by Salesforce by default. And account is basically treated as Salesforce object, like S object. So if you in a single transaction, if you're working on these two types of object together, so it will be like becoming a mixed DML operation or mixed DML error. So you just need to avoid that you need to keep this in mind. Right so these are some best practices that you need to follow. And from where I just listed all these. So here we have a reference. So I'm just going to open this link and I'm going to share this link with you as well. So this is a Salesforce help link where all the best practices are available. So I'm just pasting this link with you so that you can also go through and I will be providing this link in the document as well so that for later use this will be available. Right and here you can see all the flow related topics are available here. If you want to learn so I will be preparing like I will be learning flow orchestration from here only and then I will be explaining to you. And nowadays I'm also learning Omni Studio. So I will be creating content on that as well. It is also a low code automation tool. So it is related to industry clouds. Okay, so all business process automations are available here which are used for low code automation. So you can see approval process workflow rule process built and everything is available here. Right. Now moving to next slide. So here you can see we have some general limits. So in a few sessions you ask like what is the limit. So here you can see in this table all the limits are available and these limits are for different different editions. Right. So you can just go through with this table and here you will be able to see the data. So just read this is like provided by Salesforce here also reference link is available. So all the reference links I will be adding in the in our exercise sheet so that it will be available for you. Okay. So I am going to open this as well. So let me just open all these in that sheet because today I didn't update that sheet. So I'm going to update it with you. No, this is the project one. So I'm just placing all the links in the document so that you can access them all together. So it is basically related to flow best practices. So here I am just restarting it with one. And first we have this one like fault path. Right. Then we have best practices. Then we have limits. So we have general flow limits. Right. So here I'm pasting flow best practices link. Okay. So here I'm going to paste general flow limits link. So all these links are available publicly so you can just access them. Okay. So next we have a flow per transaction limit. Right. So this I was talking about governor limit. So here you can see if you are querying some data through get record element. So limit is 100. If you want to retrieve records, so you can just retrieve 50,000 records. Then if you are using create record update record delete record. So total DML statement you can use as 150. So in one single transaction, 150 times you can use create record update record delete record. If this limit crosses, then you will see an error. Right. So this with this table is also important and I'm just adding this reference link as well. So it is for pre transaction flow limits. So all these are important and these are asked in interviews as well. Right. So this is a good interview of preparation exercise. So just go through all the links and explore them properly because everything is written here. Okay. And it is the same document that I explained earlier. So all the links I shared with you so that you can just go through and understand all these things. Okay, so like today's session is really, really very short because this this is the only thing which was pending with flows. So I just shared all the content with you. And I hope you will be able to understand this. Right. Okay, so I hope you understood whatever we discussed. And now I'm just opening the chat. So if you have any kind of question, just put that for me so that I can help you out. So I'm just waiting because I just provided all the links. So if you want to go through and later if you want to ask any questions, so you can just go through the links and I will wait for a couple of minutes and then I will take all the questions. Okay, so now I'm going to answer all the questions which are available in front of me. So Samir is asking what kind of questions we can expect in interview on flow. So like with this link, you can just understand all the best practices because this is the common question.  And here you will find one video related to lightning flow interview Q&A. So if you go through with this, here I have collected all the questions along with answers. So you can just go through with this video and you will find all question and answers together. Right, and I will be sharing all these PDFs as well. So I will be sharing those PDFs in the Telegram group, LinkedIn. So please join those platforms so that all the PDFs timely, you will be receiving, right? So some of you are saying can we extend flow for one more week? So right now it is not possible because I have committed to start a pick sessions from 20 March, and it is shared with lots of folks. So if you have moved out, so maybe like after completion of apex, when we'll be recapping apex with flows, then I can take some examples if you have any doubt on those. Otherwise, you can ask questions in the Telegram group and people will be answering for your doubts. Ashok platform event trigger flow is basically related to code. So I'm not explaining it as of now. So let me complete apex sessions first and then I will be explaining that. So there is no other way. So in that case, you can just go through trigger if you want to increase 50,000. So deployment process, we will be discussing later in the bootcamp. Right now I cannot. Yes, if we can delete all the deactivated versions, and we can just deploy the active version, because if you deploy in the production, so only active version is deployed, not all the versions are deployed. So VV Babu for your question on like, I'm running this bootcamp for total six months. So at least six months will be required to know about admin and development. And from January till today, like we completed two months. And in these two months, we are able to complete all the admin concepts along with flow builder. Yes, I'm a platform event flow. I will be explaining later because it is somewhere related to code. So let me first complete apex and then I will plan one week dedicatedly for a flow plus apex so that we can discuss those together. Rituras, there is a lot of weight is an interview related to flow. Okay, so next is yes, VV Babu, I will be teaching or required prerequisites. So just just have a look on my previous session, then you will get to know the depth of all the sessions. So Kalpana basically scratch or are for development purpose, which you can use for short duration. And sandboxes are the copy of production ox that client uses for actual use, right? So sandboxes never expires. So you can just do implementation as many days you want to do. And sandboxes are connected with your production. So whenever you want to deploy something from sandbox to prod, so that is very easy. So so no setup objects are like user user is a setup object. And non setup objects are like account contact or all the custom objects that you create. So you can search on internet like what are setup and list of setup and non setup objects, then you will be able to identify them. So Archana for limit for DML, like I already shared all the links, just go through. And you will find that number from there. I think there is no limit for this. Thank you, Minu, for appreciating the efforts. Rituras know in interview, they won't be asking flow practically because it will take lots of time. Yes, Emya, you can clean your sandbox. So it depends like what all features you want to erase. So you just need to do that manually. So Archana, you are saying trigger to combat 50,000 limit meaning with batch depicts I didn't get. So basically, if you are talking about SOQL, so for SOQL limit is 50,000 records. But if you write SOQL in loop, loop first line, so that limit is increased automatically. So we will I would suggest to join me on LinkedIn, Telegram or Instagram, or just paste this in the comments. So I will be answering your question there. Because it will be having a conversation like how you can prepare as non technical background. So so I'm not explaining deployment as of now. First, as per my knowledge, like you need test classes if you want to deploy code in production. So all apex classes should need test classes debugging topics means what? So whatever flow debugging we need to know, I already explained. Yes, Aparna, we will be starting cybersecurity data science soon. So first, I will be starting data security from next month. So like my friend who is a consultant, so he is preparing the content. So it will be started maybe mid of April. Till then, you will be able to complete your apex and trigger classes. So maybe I need to decide the timing so it will be like it will be on any other time so that it won't conflict with this, because it will be going for six months and maybe I will be explaining clouds as well. So that will be having different time. Yes, really, in real time project, you will be using sandboxes to work. And don't say no developer edition, you can use developer edition or but priority will be sandboxes. So this custom setting topic is not related to admin. So whenever we will be doing apex related stuff, then we'll be understanding custom setting and there is one another topic custom matter types. So those we will be discussing there. Yes, first, the recruitment project which we which we did for admin and flows. So in the same project, I will be adding apex and LWC related stuff. So that one project will be having everything and it will help you to showcase your knowledge and interviews as well. So Sreevali in Salesforce. Also, we have dev test stays and plot. It is same in Salesforce as well. So I think for experienced folks, hiring is already on. So you just need to keep an eye on LinkedIn and try to search for relevant companies and try to apply for jobs. And due to recession, like jobs are less in market, but you need to keep on trying, keep on learning. Like soon jobs will be more so we don't know the future, but you should be like very well prepared in terms of learnings. And apart from admin and development, just try to learn about clouds as well, like sales cloud service cloud, marketing cloud, non profit cloud, commerce cloud, omnis studio, CPQ. So these are demanding clouds, those you just need to learn. So visual studio code, Northern, I will be using while explaining lightning web component, because apex we can easily implement in developer console. So I will be initially using that because many known IT guys will be joining. So it will be difficult for them to manage or as well as visual studio code. So first, I will be using developer console. And then later, we will be using visual studio code. With us, we will be discussing how to call flow in aura or LWC because right now I have not explained aura or LWC. So we covered flow only when we'll be covering aura or LWC, then I will explain how we can call flow in aura and LWC. Yes, so no, if you have cloud knowledge, so like, it will be better if you go for an interview. No Abhishek market is not going down. Due to recession, there are less opportunities. But it is happening for all the technologies. You can see in recent days, like product companies are struggling. And service based companies are not so much struggling. So market is down for all the technologies. So it is the best time to learn. Because you can focus on your learning and whenever there will be lots of firing, you can just utilize your learning and you can go for proper interviews. Because if interviews are also going on, you are also learning. So if you do both the things together, then it is a problem. So just learn properly. And then whenever there is any opportunities, let's go for that. Archana like deployment, I'm not covering I'm going step by step, right? So I cannot break the step because many folks, those who are following this bootcamp, they are not from tech or maybe students or freshers. So I'm just going to maintain all the sequence and then like after development stuff, we will be picking the deployment stuff. Okay. So I think whatever questions are there I already answered. Arun Kumar, right now there is no playlist for sales and service cloud. So I'm just preparing the content for those and soon it will be available.  So by the end of this year, there will be lots of content on Salesforce on my channel. And like prior to join this session, I was scrolling LinkedIn and I just saw a post post like someone posted a fraud like he or she joined an organization and paid huge amount and they promised for job and then they didn't help. So please help those people who are struggling with money and people are doing fraud with them. So just share link off my channel. You can see I completed 31 sessions free of cost in detail. Everything I explained in detail, right? And everything is available with you freely in Excel sheet and docs. All exercises are available. I'm coming live and explaining all the topics in detail interacting with you answering all your questions. So I think it is more than paid boot camps or paid trainings or internships. And this is only kind of boot camp that is running in entire Salesforce ecosystem, right? So just share this information with everybody so that they can just save their hard earned money and don't become fool, right? So this is important. That's why like I'm conducting these sessions because nowadays in market, everybody targeting students like learn Salesforce and you will get a job. So they are charging huge amounts. So like by sharing link of this channel, you can save their hard earned money, right? So if you if you think like my sessions are better than paid classes as Ritu Raj is saying, so please share this information with everybody because you all are connected everywhere. You are connected with WhatsApp groups, telegram group. And if I say join my boot camp, that doesn't make any impact. If you learners are saying if this boot camp is good, so people will believe in you because you are the learners, right? So that's why I'm requesting with you. And I'm very honest and doing all this stuff with my passion and dedication, right? So I'm putting all my efforts. So just share this information and help people learning Salesforce and try to do more and more practice so that you can become export in Salesforce. And believe me, admin part is completed. Flow is completed today. Then from next week, I will be starting development and I will be explaining development very in in a slow process, right? So if it like apex, I need to teach for one month, I will go for that. But I will be explaining everything in detail. I will be giving you all the practice practice exercises so that you can understand the concepts very well, right? So this way I will be going forward. So first I will be covering backend development, then I will be covering all the front end development, then we'll be picking up all the clouds like sales cloud service cloud, experience cloud omni studio. So 455 I have planned and I am preparing those content as well. And I already told you like there will be boot camps on cyber security, DevOps, data science. So those will be starting soon, right? So I think this is enough for this year. If everything works fine, so all the sessions will be delivered live. And whoever will be delivering sessions, they will be doing interaction in the same way, right? So I can see a few questions are here in the chat. So Sonu is asking for writing apex code. We need only core Java or J2EW also. You you just need to know core Java. And if you don't know, then also I will be explaining concepts from the beginning. So Abhishek you gave four interviews. I'm happy like you got an opportunity to give an interview. So if you didn't receive any offer, so maybe you need to do more practice so that you can explain concepts in well way. So thank you, Amit, for considering this channel as best for Salesforce learning. And soon it will become best in other sectors as well like cyber security, DevOps, data science. So I won't be limited to Salesforce only. I will be making this channel generic for all the technologies so that all the students will be benefited and all the live sessions will be free of cost in detail and everything will be available with you. Yes, Amiya, I just posted on LinkedIn like if you follow me on LinkedIn, so see my post. See my comment on that post. I just recently posted and I posted like I just I'm just here to save your money. And I don't know why I started it. So maybe it is like God assigned this duty to me like go and teach students free of cost because many organizations are doing fraud. So I am happy like I am I am here to do this novel cause and through this I am having your blessings as well. So those are important for me. Yes, Arun in my trigger playlist, all the topics are available and it is enough. So Arjuna, you need to search about internship programs. And I think remote internships, I don't know any company will offer you. So you just need to search for that. And I think if you complete this bootcamp, so it is kind of similar to internship, because in internship, you learn the concept, you implement the problems. So we are doing both here. So Prudhvi is asking recruitment project belongs to which cloud. So it is not related to any cloud. It is a custom application that we built. If we talk about the Salesforce clouds, so in those clouds, basically we will be building functionalities on top of existing functionality, right? But the recruitment app which we implemented that is for like custom solution. So it is not built on top of any cloud, right? So those who are live, so I just want to hear some feedback till now, like how you consider this bootcamp. So just just send some comments about me and my bootcamp or channel or whatever I'm doing for the community. So I just want to read your feedback because we have enough time today. And I can see 54 folks are watching this now and many will be watching this later on as well. So if you are listening this as a recording, so do share your thoughts in the comments. So I just need a review or feedback about the bootcamp about me or whatever I'm doing for community. So if you can share that, so I will feel happy reading your comments. So because today's Friday and week is like weekdays are completing and we'll be enjoying our weekends. So I just want to go with happy comments. Yes, Ankur, I will be adding those in the project. No need to worry. So Aparna, you are asking, please explain. So what I need to explain? Can you please rewrite your question? So Veevi Babu, this I already explained and there is a video in the playlist where I interacted with all the freshers like how you can prepare for certification. So there I just guided about the career paths as well. So if you follow all the videos, so you will have all the information. Okay, Chakri Srinivas, thank you for liking my methodology. So it came after 16 years of experience. So I am teaching since 2008. So through that continuous teaching learning process, I came to know and I'm able to explain things through this methodology. Thank you. Thank you, Rivathi. Yes, Aparna, I will be explaining about sales cloud and service cloud but with the content. So you need to wait for that. Thank you, Arun. Thank you, Sonu, for her wonderful comment. Thank you, Arjuna. Thank you. Yes, I need more blessings, strength so that because I decided to do live sessions every week throughout the year. So six months for admin development and then cloud specific sessions. So it will be for whole year. Thank you, Gayathri. And also share this with your friends, colleagues, juniors, seniors and one request like please share this with the college students as well because college students doesn't know more about Salesforce or other technologies. So share the link with them as well because I know you are pass out from renowned colleges. So if you have connections with those colleges or faculty members, so share this link so that those students can also learn Salesforce free of cost because everything is recorded and exercise sheet is also available. So before graduation, they will be having enough knowledge with them. Thank you Ashok for appreciating Thank you for this. Thank you, Pooja. Thank you, Rituraj. Thank you, Gaurav. Okay, so I think lots of people are enjoying this bootcamp and I can see lots of positive feedbacks are there. And I would appreciate if you give me some suggestions like if something needs to be improved. Otherwise, I am just focusing on everything, whatever I can do for you. Thank you, Rekha, for wonderful comment. Thank you, Badal. Thank you, So Bhagya. I can see many more new folks are writing comments today. Thank you, Mani. Okay, so I think everybody is enjoying this bootcamp and I hope you are eagerly waiting for coding related sessions like Apex Trigger test classes. So I am also excited for those and this weekend I will be working on content creation. Like I will be redesigning all the slides. I have content already, but I need to redesign them, keeping in mind like all the beginners will be joining. So on weekend, I will be doing that. Yes, Prithvi, that is already shared. If you go to description of this video, you will find a link of the project. So you can just go through with that. Thank you, Srivalli. Thank you. Thank you so much. Yes, Archana, like after completion of development session, maybe I will arrange some more interview. So what I decided like instead of asking question, what I decided I will become the student and I will have one more folks with me and he will be asking question and I will try to answer the questions so that you can understand how actually we need to answer the questions. So I myself will be becoming the student like I am applying for a job. So if you watch those recording, you will get an idea like how actually we need to answer the questions. Thank you, SK for appreciating my efforts. Yes, Tarab. First of all, thank you for appreciating me. And if you have Java HTML CSS and JavaScript knowledge, so that is good. Otherwise, not Java. Java I won't be covering, but I will be explaining Apex in such a way like you will be able to understand the concepts that I'm sure and HTML CSS and JavaScript I will I will be covering first before starting aura and LWC. Thank you, Sonu. Yes, Rekha. So it will be starting from Monday. Thank you, Kapil. Thank you for the blessings. Yes, Tarab. I will be like explaining all the concepts related to development and each session we will be doing some hands-on scenarios. And in recruitment application, I will be adding those scenarios based on that project. Yes, Prithvi, developer use cases I have not added right now. So after Apex session, I will be adding them. Yes, Pooja, you can go through 30 days sessions. So from next week, I will be having four sessions in a week, right? So rest three days. You can go through prior sessions and you can just do practice. Yes, Samir, I will be creating more interviews. And as I told you, I will be becoming the student will be answering the questions. So Aparna, aura and LWC are basically components that we built for front-end. So these are basically front-end components and these are frameworks through which we develop front-end components.  So thank you, Manoj, for motivating everybody. And I never told anyone to like the videos. It depends on you. So I am happy like you while learning. That's it for me. So for non-tech guy, prerequisite will be like Java or C programming. If you know C programming, Java programming, then that is good. So in this weekend, like on the Excel sheet, you can see Java playlist link is available if you go through quickly. So you will be having some terms in your mind, like whenever I will be explaining Apex, so you will be able to understand those. And like just to focus on Manoj's comment, if you can get me like real subscribers, so that I would request because I decided or you can say a resolution. I made it with me like I am targeting 100 K subscribers by the end of this year. So this is my target and I am dedicating all my energy to have 100 K learners on my channel as a subscriber. So if you can get or you can just support me on that front, so I would be appreciating your efforts. I would be thankful for you. So Aparna for LWC aura, you need to know HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Thank you, Bhanushri, for appreciating. And like this is the USP of my channel. All the videos are crisp. No, no, like unnecessary stuff. So here also, I'm just interacting with you like this. I am doing in the live session and in very few sessions, I am talking this way. But in all other sessions, I am not talking like this. So I'm just focusing on the quality content. No, like nonsense stuff. So I don't like that. That's why my content is to the point. Yes, really, this is so just everybody read Srivali's comment. It is good. If you go through old apex or trigger sessions, so you will be having like little bit idea about that. And when I will be taking live sessions, so it will help you out in understanding or you will be able to ask questions, right? So live sessions will be a kind of revision for you. And I don't think there is any other channel who is coming like four or five times a week in front of learners and answering their questions. So I am doing this free of cost. So just utilize this platform to ask questions and to get answers with you. OK, so I'm very happy to read all the comments. And now I just want to leave and I think we discussed a lot of things. And once again, happy Friday. Thank you for joining today's sessions and those who are watching this recording till the end. I'm not sure if you are watching, but if you are watching, please share the channel link with others so that they can be benefited. And remember me in your blessings. Thank you for appreciating my efforts. Yes, sir. And I will be covering integration and at WC as well. So don't worry. OK, guys. Thank you so much. And I appreciate your time and efforts you are doing for this bootcamp. See you on Monday with apex. Thank you. Bye, everyone.


Thank you all so much for coming to this. This is such a great turnout. Obviously, I mean we didn't expect so many things. We didn't. Unless you're all here to complain, which is, that book sucked! No, just go on Amazon and leave one star reviews. My name is Katya D'Angelo. I own Bridgeside Books in Waterbury. And we had Sarah last year when her last book came out, Do I Know You? And we wanted to do it again and it was Sarah's idea to bring together the local in the mix. So thank you to Sam and his team. They have transformed this beautiful space for us. And it happens to be right in Sarah's town, which is fantastic. I wanted to bring some business down here, but then I thought, uh-oh, we have a lister here who's probably taking notes saying, Sorry, Sam! So for those of you who don't know Sarah, she is the best-selling and award-winning novelist of 19 books for adults and young adults, including The Cinderella Pact, which became the lifetime original movie, Lying to Be Perfect, and Bubbles Unbound, which won the Agatha Award for Best First Mystery, and then that became a series. She's a former newspaper reporter, and you probably know her better as the town clerk here in Middlesex. I'm so sorry! It's okay. Dr. Freud? By the way, we just had somebody move to this town and her mother complained about the name. She disapproves of the name Middlesex, and as we pointed out and said it could be with more town, it could be more sex. So there you go! She would have been happier with Middlesex. Maybe she thought she was moving to Middlebury. My middle school was on Middlesex Road, and as a middle schooler, let me tell you that. Never ending stories. The address was 69 Middlesex. Of course! Anyway, so I wanted to start this with a question about how this was inspired by your house buying experience, because that's such a great story that you told me many months ago. Okay, well, first of all I want to thank everybody for coming out tonight in this showery Wednesday. I really appreciate it. It's very heartening, and I know a lot of you are not voters, so I especially appreciate that. So the people who are voters are going to be mighty concerned to find that my husband and I ended up with a newly legal means as a duly warned tax sale at my job. I ended up with a log cabin on 11 acres here in Middlesex. Okay, I can hear the criticism. It's such a New England vibe, you know? Anyway, it was because no one bit on it and there was a reason for that. I discovered later when we removed 8 tons of trash to dead dogs, and when I say we, I mean not me. I mean Dorinda's husband, David, helped, and Charlie, and there were a couple of heroin addicts living there, so it was just kind of a bad, sad scene. We tried to change the karma of the place after we fixed up a little bit by letting a family of eight that had lost their house in a fire live there for 18 months, so that was good, and then when another family lost their house in a fire, my husband and I lived there for about eight months, and that was very, very cold because there was no heat there. But that's when I wrote, we love to entertain.  And that's the book! And it's also the house the cabin is haunted. And we won't get into that. I don't want to, you know, but I can talk to you about it later, but it's true. It's definitely, I mean somebody died there. But I think we purged it. Really? Yeah. Oh great. Yeah, I think she got sick of us, you know. So that was it. She saw the way. She saw the way. She scared the way the ghost. I scared the way the ghost. But I wrote that in this, you know, this attic, like room there. I wrote this book this entire time. And so I got a little bit too much into the weeds about Vermont and tax sales. And my poor editor in New York was like, you know, wherever you go, don't mention tax sales. And no one cares, you know, but that's not true. I've tried to leave it. I tried to make it sexy. Like, somebody gave me a good review. She's a former reporter who's, and I think her review is something like, if you really like going through town records, you're going to love this book. No, you're not doing me any favors. This is for a very small cotter in court. So what part of Kim's experience mirrors your own as a town clerk? Is there a character in this that is a town clerk? Yes. There is a, the long and short of it is that there is a town clerk and she has a daughter who is working for the celebrity couple because this is her ticket out of town. And of course bad things happen to the daughter after the celebrity couple go missing, you know, and poor Kim is trying to keep everything together. But Kim's not completely on the honest and the up and up either. And so that was where I'd like to correct the record for everyone. You know, I am on the up and up as much as I possibly can be. I just want to assure all middle sex voters that there are a few stories. I don't know if the animal control officer is here. Oh, is Erica here? Oh, there's somebody who is an inspiration for this book. My former assistant town clerk. But yeah, so a couple of things. And I told, I just got off a road trip, but 1,300 miles on my car this weekend. And I know it was horrible. And the story that everybody liked in other parts of the world. And I know this is, you guys will understand this is like mud roads. Mud roads, right? And then we say, well, you know, we had, we did have this, I have this scene in this book about this runaway goat. And we did have this runaway goat meal. Look at, see the knotting? And do you remember, do you remember how the runaway goat was caught? Everybody was out looking. There you go. And it was, it was bad news because people were doing the wrong thing. They were bringing food and food was not going to get this goat, right? What did you need? Does anybody know you needed a rag soaked in nanny goat urine. And Erica was like, don't anybody touch the goat? As soon as any of you see the goat, Erica is the best animal control officer.  I'm just, all I need is a bucket of nanny goat urine. And oddly enough, that's easy to get. And she stood there. I'm trying to think who else she was with. Maybe Sarah Stiedman. I'm trying to think of who else it was. But there was somebody at the end of the driveway and they took this thing and it stinks to high heaven. And they winged it over there. And the goat was standing on top of the shed. And it just went, oh. That went boom, bing, bing, bing. That's how she got it. We didn't have as much luck with Lucky. Do you remember Lucky the Pig? Does anybody here remember Lucky the Pig? Do you don't? Oh, come on. You've got to remember. Maybe I remember it because it was the first snow in November and every other town in the five-town school district was fine. It had absolutely no snow except for Middlesex. Middlesex had snow. And the phone was ringing off the hook left and right, left and right. You know, people wanted the snow plow to accompany the school bus to Rumney. It was just a whole thing. In the course of that, I got a call from the state police saying, you got to do something about this goddamn pig. I said, what pig?  And there were cars sliding all over the road. And they were trying to avoid this pig. And the road was like icy.  And so, and I swear to God, I swear to God that it is true. Thank you, Michael. Michael was there. That the dispatcher said to me, well, you got to do something because we can't shoot it. We can't have pigs shooting pigs.   There was like a father and daughter hunting one day and lucky showed up and they just took him back and to the place in Berlin. And, you know, he was, he was fine, supposedly. He was lucky. Yeah, I know this third. This is only like the tip of the iceberg of the stories and the rest of them I can't ever tell. So how do you feel about writing about kind of this personal, this job of yours in a small town, like, you know, well, I think the weird thing is talking to everybody here who has been, you know, inspirations in one way or the other. Because when you're going away, nobody knows anything. They don't, you know, you could tell them anything. Like I was just telling Katja that this woman at this conference said to me that she was, oh, she loved Vermont. Everybody at the conference loved Vermont. I love Vermont. It's so precious. It's so sweet. I'm like, yeah. And she said, and so I can tell this crowd, right? You guys, and she said, this summer, my husband and I are going to Vermont. I said, oh, where? She says, where's Jean? I said, where's Jean? Where is Jean? And she said, you know, where's Jean? And I realized, who did, does anybody know what it is? For Jeds. For Jeds. And of course, I being the heck, I'm like, very sure, it's for Jeds, you know. And then I put on my boots, put on my mucklucks and walked out the door. Ugh, the heck, the heck thing it never ends. Thanks to Charlotte. I was, I went through that. And I think by this time, her eyes would be getting a glaze over. It's like, and if you see a town that's C-A-L-A-I-S, it's actually Calis. Cal is not Calish. It's like, okay, get it, you know.  Charlotte, right? Right.  This is very conversational. Great. So, okay, my other, my next question is, how do you really feel about all of the HGTV reality shows? Well, I, I mean, that's the other thing talking to this crowd. Like a lot of people don't even have cable. So it's like, you know, right. And some woman wrote me and she said, she said, when I saw that it had a reality show and it was like, bummed, you know. So, I- I thought that different from like the old school, this old house. This old house. Yes, the PBS. For those of you- I don't know. I don't know. You know, part of the fun for me was doing the culture clash, was having people coming from away. And I do, let's just put it this way. Do you see this beautiful carpentry here? This is all done by a carpenter in the valley. And every once in a while, I get neat people who are building from the valley. And you know, they are building outrageously expensive homes. You know, they are building patios that are worth my house. Can you attest to that, Linda? Yes. Right? And so, I just like the image of those people coming in and taking some land and the- and then, you know, you can't trust us. I like the idea of Ramoners not being trustworthy. I think, you know, we're just a little squirrely. I say, looking at Lee- What is H.D. TV? See, this proves my point. Yes. It was, it was, the original name is Home and Garden Television, but it morphed into something that is really addictive, where it'll have house hunters or house hunters international. And during the pandemic, it was really important to a lot of us, because we could go to places that we hadn't, you know, We could think about, well, let's see, if I had $500,000 to buy an apartment in Paris. You know, I don't think I'd choose that one.  And the idea of we love to entertain is that these couples, and this is the other thing about H.D. TV, you have these young couples, you know, my daughter's age, and somehow they're walking around with like, we only have $800,000 to put down on a house. They're like, who are these people? Do they have student loans? And what kind of jobs do they have? I don't know. They're my niece. They're your niece. Oh, well, now we know. And then they justify this expense for this incredible kitchen and this outdoor patio by saying, yes, but we love to entertain, as though they are special people, right? The rest of us don't like anyone, so we're not going to spend $40,000 on a refrigerator, which you can do that has a built-in coffee maker and television. Yeah. And it'll notify you when you're low on milk. Will it? Yeah, definitely. Do you notice why? Do you have one in Waterbury? No. I'm not putting something like that in my 1800s. No. The whole house will collapse, but that refrigerator will still be there. No. Yeah. So that's perfect. Yes. Sarah, when you, in the story, used that whole sort of the subplot of the people on Reddit, I think it was. Yes. Like, did you have to research? Is that what people do, like, on this show? Yeah, absolutely. How did you research? I just want to identify Liz Sharp. Liz Sharp is the person from your elementary school who did all the homework and then sat in class and can answer all the questions. She is also our most hard-working select board member. So just to answer that question, yes.  Yeah. Okay. That's what's really happening in real life. In real life, yes. It's like they can't leave. They've just got to constantly be in contact. And yeah. So that's it. What is Reddit? It's almost like from porch forum. Only it's constant. Yeah. And rude. Yes. And snarky. And snook snarky and rude. And non-censored. Yes. Also true. Yeah. The HTV Dream Home, was it? Yes. I think. The most while I was writing the book, it was in Waitsville. Warren. Warren, right. Yeah. And there is a really energy sufficient. It looked like this. It did. There's a house I used a lot down there in Warren. It's got the rubber roof and it's got, you know, this couple thinks they're being virtuous because they're building something that is environment, no offense, that's environmentally efficient. And while the other couple is, you know, they're a gay married couple and they're bringing in teenagers who have been bullied to their ranch. The other couple are people who are in health care, who are bringing a retreat for people who have been suffered during COVID. But these people are building a huge energy efficient home. And for that, they should win because they're so virtuous. But I'm just, I mean, these biases, I do not extend to my job. I just want you to know that. So Snowden. Snowden. Yes. Is the town that this takes place in. And from some of the details that you put in there, it's further south than where we are. Was there a specific?  Right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was fun. National Forest is a giveaway. Yes. Yeah. Oh my God. Good for you. You read it too. I did. Thank you. It's part of the Britside Book Club. Oh. Yeah. And it's a state park ranger. Oh, that's very cool. That's really neat. I bet he has stories, right? Yeah. Yeah. A lot of dead, a lot of dead characters down there. Yeah. Dense characters? Well, dead or dense. Oh. Yeah. We hope. Yeah, that's true. So that was like a little detail that was really lovely. And I found that this is your first book set in Vermont. Yes. And probably my last. Really? Yes. Oh, why is that? Well, I don't know. You know, one and done. I think my next book is going to be inspired by Vermont. It's going to be inspired by a situation that we had not. Is anybody here from Worcester? Good. I know this is going to go on Orca, but so no one from Worcester will watch it. So one day, Katie Winkle John, who is the town clerk in Worcester, and now she is the town treasurer and she lives in Mexico. Go figure. Nice setup, right? Okay. She calls me up on a Monday and she says, she said, do you have a marriage certificate for a guy named, hold on, Arthur McBeath? And I said, oh, come on, no. And she said, yeah, he's married to, it was like something like Paisley Wingding. And I was like, okay, sure. And sure enough, I do. I have a marriage certificate for them. And I said, why do you need it? And she says, because I got to put together a death certificate.   So I said, all right, what happened? And she said, well, it all started when Arthur McBeath had a, she said, do you know that he has a druid compound up on, at the, at the Middlesex Worcester town line? Did you guys know that? Yes. You did? Well, there's druids also in Calis. Yeah. Kelly. Kelly. So apparently it was the, it was the Autumn Equinox. And there were many, many visitors coming to Arthur McBeath's druid compound that has a mini stonehenge up there. And it was an incredibly warm weekend. And Arthur was closing in on 500 pounds. And he drops dead of a heart attack. True story, all of this. And his wife says, I need to go to a cleansing bath, ritual, and leaves. And the people who are there say, let's burn them. Seriously? Seriously. So they put him on a pyre. And they make a festival of this. And it is closing in now on 86, 90 degrees. So that was Thursday when he died. Oh my God. Friday he's getting a little right. And meanwhile, poor Katie is trying to call the authorities and saying, well, we don't have a funeral home involved. What do I do? And they say, well, actually, statutorily, it is the town clerk's responsibility to put together a death certificate. So she's running up and down, going down to the cleansing stream to talk to the wife, get that information. Getting all this information. Saturday night, she's at home. As she says, it's bureau clock. And she gets a call from a friend of hers who's up at the druid compound. Because, of course, they don't have any cell phones up there. And she says, you got to get here now. It's a total cluster. So she runs up there. What's the problem? The problem is that there is a fight among the druids. One half just wants to light the torch and set him on fire. Others have said, no, no, no. I've been to India. You've got to stab him first. Because otherwise, he's just going to explode. Like a potato. Like a potato. Like a potato. Like a potato. Like a potato. Like a potato. Like a potato. But at this time, Katie says, you know, enough, enough. We're not going to do this. We're not going to stab this corpse. And we're not going to explode the world by lighting him on fire. So she starts calling around trying to find any type of crematorium that will take him. And there's apparently one in Northfield that will do it no matter what. You know this, don't you? Corroboration. Corroboration.  And I really do like cults. And I have to tell you, I just finished this book called Cults. Surprise. And it's about cults. And it's all nonfiction. So if you really want something to listen to, that's fun in a 1,300-mile car ride. It would be great. It would be great. It would be great. It would be great. It would be great. It would be great. It's fun in a 1,300-mile car ride. You know, I recommend this highly. So that's going to be the inspiration, but I'm not going to set it in Vermont. I'm going to set it in New Hampshire. Okay. You nailed it. That's very true. Oh my goodness. Wow. Yeah. Okay, so you set it in Vermont, and I have to say the, I want to say like world building of like really making it feel. Oh, good. That was so, just like little detail. Oh, thank you. I hope people who don't live here can, I don't know, understand and like, oh, wow. You know, who knows? It's going to be the people who really enjoy going through town records. It will suddenly be an uptick of people coming to live here. Right. Or like auctions, like housing. Yeah, tax sales. Yeah. Right, right. Okay. Any other questions? Questions? Can you give me an example of that? Not the auction stuff, just the little details. Oh, goodness. My God, now she's being, do you want to put her on the, are you putting her on the spot? I read this in six hours on a planar. Oh my gosh. Okay, never mind. It was, like, I read it so quickly. It was such a great thing. Yeah. Things like, well things like the dirt road stuff. Yeah. Yeah. The deer. The deer, totally. The deliveries, like how they don't show up. You are so good. Yeah. So like little things. Like come to your store. Check. Thank you. Yeah. People wear many hats. Yeah. The guy who knows everyone. Yeah. Knows Erica's past. Yeah, that's a key part.  That is true. Yeah, right. Right. Yeah.  And that's a big town. That's it. Big town. Let's see. What other questions do I have for you? Yeah, I don't know. Do you guys know about this book? This is the other book I wrote? Yeah. This is 18 out of the 19th. So just to give you some background on this, I'm just going to tell you this because I have to go to the Northshire bookstore for a very fancy weekend this weekend with, I know, with literary writers. I don't know what I'm doing there, but people are paying $200 ahead. So that's it. So we're supposed to do something kind of funny or funky. And they said, you know, if you want to read an avant-garde poem or something, but I'm not, I'm going to dress up as my original character Bubbles. And I haven't, I haven't put, I haven't squeezed into that outfit in 20s or so years, but I ordered the wig off Amazon and I got the leopard print bra. And I got the see-through thing. So I'm ready to go. Yeah. I'm going to bring down the real estate in Manchester. And I'm going to talk to them about the, the fact that, that book do, I don't know if you know this that I'm on the terrorist watch list. I have recently been freed from the terrorist watch list. Thank you. I will ever wrote, you know, letters. Thank you very much.  And I was reading Jennifer Wiener's good in bed and people are walking by and everywhere I went. But during that course of that, I also learned about when I'm from Eisen in Heathrow being detained, I learned about super recognizers, which is what the British have used with the IRA forever, which are people who never forget a face, but also can see, you know, how people walk and move.  And they were laughing at us because we take off our shoes. They said, no, no, no, we've got plants all over the place. These people, we cultivate them. And so I put that away and so this is a, this has a super recognizer and I think I'm going to tie it. I think that's a justification for wearing a Bubbles outfit, don't you? If not just to shock them. Chris Bajalian will be like, never coming back again. It's interesting you mentioned Chris. He came into the story yesterday. Oh, he did. And just out of curiosity, after he left, we looked up our sales for you versus Chris and guess who wins? You know what? You have just made my life. No, I'm not kidding. Thank you so much, Katya. If my mother were alive, I could call her and say, see, I never had to get that master's degree like you want. This is going to sound like a criticism and I promise it's not. That's okay. I got thick skin. I'm just wondering in the course of the character development and kind of bracketing the fact that Kim has your job in the fictional world and how you might relate to her. I'm wondering how you feel about your characters because I found that Tammy was the only one I liked. Oh, that's interesting. That's too bad. Hopefully it's too bad. I'm going to go home now. Tammy is the one from Florida. She's Haley's mother. How do you connect to your characters?  I think that's probably the psychological thing that we've uncovered. It's okay. It's all right. I did take a break from therapy, but I'm going to go back.  Who doesn't like stuff? I read books with lots of unlikable characters. I love them.  You know, I watch shows with unlikable characters. I personally liked Kim, but that's okay. I did love Tammy, though. She was my favorite. Sorry. I really like Doreen. I really like Doreen. I thought she was such a whippersnapper. She is a whippersnapper, and her inspiration is here today. Would Doreen please stand up? The real Doreen, please stand up. Yeah! I was so happy to read the note at the end about how she's not like Doreen. She's not like Doreen, but she kind of is. The whole book, I'm like, oh my God, she actually worked with something like this? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to just tell you one quick story. When I first got this job, Marika was the assistant clerk, and she was there before I was. Marika knows everything, and she's the most capable human being on Earth. And so we used to close the office for lunch, and we closed the office, and we're working together, and we look through the door, and we see this little guy, like, covered in tats, all muscled, and we think, oh crap, it's finally happened, right? We're going to be held up, right? Oh. And so Marika and I sit here, and we conspire. Okay, look it. Marika's like, I can take them. You make a deal. You go off for distraction. I can take them. You know, I think she's got a baseball. Did you have a baseball bat? No. No. I know the bookkeeper had a gun. The golf chucker or something. I mean, this guy looks so bad. He looks so gnarly. So we're ready, right? I'm like, oh, I'm going to go in the vault and close the vault. And then we have all this. We're working ourselves into a lather. At least I'm working myself into a lather.  Who cares? So he comes in and it turns out he is an undercover investigator for the Social Security Administration. I'm sorry. Wait, they were undercover investigators for Social Security Administration? Yeah. And he has a really big territory. I mean, it's like from Concord, Massachusetts to the Canadian border. So you don't see him too much.  So we do have moments like that in the town clerk's office. Here I thought he was from Berlin. Berlin. But I can say that because I live there. You can. Yeah. People say Berlin. Others say Berlin. Yeah. It's an endless debate. But we know it's not, you know, yeah. It's the one town where people don't know how to pronounce. I think you're probably right. But you don't live in Boston. Yes. And if you ever watch Investigation Discovery and you watch any of theirs, a couple of murders there, they always say in the quiet town of Bar of Vermont, you're like, Bar of Vermont. Auntie Churchill recently also mispronounced Charlotte. Did they? Yeah. They said, oh, down the road in Charlotte. Everyone in the theater was like, oh, to Charlotte. Well, you know, I have the great pleasure of actually auditioning the people who do the audio books. This is really fun. Harper Collins gives me, you know, three or four readers for each one and says, you know, they give me a little test tape and stuff. It is fun. It's really fun. I didn't know you had, like, authors had any. I have more input in that than I do in the cover. I just kind of, yeah, it's really interesting. And we had to give them, so then they returned with a list of how do we pronounce these things. And it was, it's huge. Yeah. Oh, very interesting. Yeah. What do you look for it or listen for it? I'll listen for something that matches the voice in my head. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. We're all in trouble. No. Right. Yeah. So now I got to ask, how do you feel about the cover? Since you don't have much say in that. You know, they're dark. Mm-hmm. That's very genre. Is it? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. If you look at, like, the shelves and the mystery thrillers versus, like, obviously rom-coms or even fantasy, there's a look. There's always a look. Yeah. Well, right.  Could that work? No. Oh, my gosh. They always change your name. Yeah. Colleen, I think she'd come right after me. Those romance types, they really are copyright fanatics. So I hate to keep you guys here in this dark, in this, you know, building, whatever. How are we doing on time? Yeah. We're at about 6.15. Okay. Great. More questions, more thoughts. I mean, yeah. Go ahead. Did you end up being town clerk? Yeah. That's a good question. I mean, my husband wants credit, but he's not going to get it. So I mean, I left my job, and that is a whole story, as a newspaper reporter. I had a job, I was working at the state house for the Valley News and writing a book on the side.  But what she went through was so horrific, I'll be glad to tell you about it some other time, but it was horrible. I don't want to trigger anybody. And the editor came up to my office and gave me a letter of reprimand and took me out to lunch. But I'll, I stick by my decision. I didn't want her to be victimized twice. I'd rather, you know, script. And as he was walking down the stairs, my phone rang, and it was Heather, my agent. She was no longer my agent, thank God. And Heather literally talks like this. Oh, it's Heather from ICM. And she's about this high. And she said, I just got you a book deal. You can put your job. You know, I was like the universe. So I quit my job and I wrote books and raised kids and did all that. And then the kids went to college and I was stuck home alone and I realized a couple of things. I realized I have no health insurance. I realized that I am getting baddie just sitting in this. And I needed a new infusion of, I just needed, you know, I just need to be part of the community. You know, you're really isolated as a writer. It's an incredibly isolating thing. So there was a town clerk opening. I, you know, they interviewed for it. The person who interviewed me was right here. And she, one of her questions was, this is Mary Skinner, do you do housekeeping? Yes, you did. That was like a little test. Do I do housekeeping? And I lied and said, sure, and thought I'll never wiping a toilet down here in my life. So that's not true. I ended up wiping them last. So that's how I became town clerk. And I really ended up really lugging the job. And it combines all the skills and also taught me skills.  Because you're going, this is Lee who's a former town clerk and this is Rosie who is a current town clerk in East Montpelier. So you know what I mean?  Some of them can be kind of rude during the 2020 the aftermath of the 2020 elections. I had a couple of wise guys. My favorite one was a guy who came in for the 2022 general election and he said, I'm going to be there at 6 a.m. and I'm going to watch voting. I'm going to watch what you do with that Dominion voting machine. And I said, we'll be there. He showed up five minutes before the polls closed. Three sheets to the wind and very happy. So you know, there's all that kind of stuff. But I think it's a real privilege. I think it's one of the best jobs. Yesterday was like town clerk, national town clerk day. Was that right Rosie? Did you see that? Vacation this week I must have. And as one of the town clerks pointed out, it's the second oldest profession. So there you go. So it's a great honor. That's awesome. Yeah, it is. It's a wonderful job. That's great. Any more questions? Otherwise we can kind of wrap it up. Uh-oh, here's Kim. Here's another Kim. So Bubbles was your first book, right? Well no. Depends on how you define book. Barbie Unbound, a parody of the Barbie obsession. A high quality book in itself. It's now back in fashion, yes. That was going to be my question. Do you find that as each book comes out, that it rekindles interest in some of your old books? And did you ever imagine that 20-something years ago? Yeah. Because I seem to remember a certain sixth grade graduation where parents all got a parting gift of the book Bubbles. Is that what I did? That's what you did. That's pretty awesome. I thought you were going to talk about when I delivered the U32 graduation to rest as Bubbles. Can you remember that? I was just telling somebody the other day, I was at this mouse convention that I did a reading at the Barnes & Noble in Salem, New Hampshire, which is across from a racetrack. And I was dressed up like Bubbles, big wig, everything like that. And somebody reported me to the store manager. They said there's a hooker at the back of the store. That was so flattered. Oh my God, I just want to say Barbie Unbound is brilliant. Have you seen it? Buy it. Oh, thank you. She's related to me, so. I've actually wondered, being from the Lehigh Valley where Bubbles makes for Comet, I've always wondered do people who are not from the Lehigh Valley think it's just completely sterically funny as anybody who knows that area does? I absolutely love those people. Aw, thank you. I don't want them at all. I don't know. I'm from the Lehigh Valley, so I don't know. I have a weird Pennsylvania following. I just went out of my way in this torrential rainstorm on Friday or something to go sign some books in Pennsylvania. Not that much has changed down there. Nothing changes down there, frankly. It gets built up, but it's got the same mentality. Who are you to think you're so special? I don't know. I miss it. Bethlehem's nothing like that anymore. It's all steel town, pink-walled hair salons. My mother used to go to religiously. The day my mother died, week before my mother died, she kept saying, call my hairdresser. Call Bonnie. Call Bonnie. Call Bonnie. And she was in a stroke, and I was like, why do I need to call Bonnie? Bonnie, this is in Alaska, was out fishing, so of course. She's like, she'll come back on Saturday when she's done. I was like, Mom, what are you going to do? She's like, it's my hairdresser. I've got to get my hair done. Of course she was taking the greatest trip ever. But that's like that generation, hairdressers. You had your standing, right? You guys know. And if you had your Friday 2 p.m. appointment, you did not miss your Friday 2 p.m. appointment. You bought Christmas gifts for your hairdresser and their kids and their grandkids. Washington set. My great aunt was a hairdresser in Bethlehem. Carmen. I don't know how we didn't talk about this before. I didn't know you were from Bethlehem. Is that wild? Everyone's from Bethlehem. They're very, very funny, but I never know. Are they so funny because you know all the people who do this? Yeah, I don't know. They're probably not that funny. They're pretty funny. They're pretty funny. Men read them sometimes. I read five of them in a row when my dad was so sick because I just needed to be happy. Oh, that's good. That's great. Well, thank you for that. That's awesome. Well, I want to thank you guys so much. This has been, by far, the most fun event. This was a lot of fun. I just want to give you a credit to Bridgeside Books. It's a wonderful, wonderful bookstore. They're great. They're receptive. They've got a cool stuff going on. It's in a cool area. I highly recommend it. Please, for a take of the local. Please go down there. Yes. Or else you can buy the book. I can take credit cards and cash. Wine glasses. There's a tray just outside the door. If you could put your wine glasses on that. And then there is a bathroom. There's a door right there. There's actually a bathroom door. There's also a bathroom in the red end. The hallway. You're here to sign books. I'm here to sign books or whatever. I want to thank you so much for coming. Thank you.


Alrighty, I got a construction update for you guys today. A lot has happened at the park, um, that's kind of BS, though, but there's a lot of juicy information in today's video, um, ignore what's on the screen right now, okay? Just ignore. Um, Super Soaker is coming along with its construction, so this is looking really good. Can't wait to see the finished project, um, as usual. They're moving really quickly, um, but yeah, the pump house is done, so that means Splashworks should be fully back to normal by the time it opens. This does not seem like a project that is slightly delayed, unlike a certain other project in the park. I don't know what I could possibly be thinking about. Oh yeah, Tundra Twister. So they had one dude working on Tundra Twister today, as you can see right there. I flew at about 5pm, um, so this is what the site looked like at around 5pm. It's a bit crazy, um, truthfully, I don't know what's going on. Are they waiting for something or, um, yeah, no op booth, no, like, op panel, um, unless the op booth and op panel is in that basement or that building there with the blue tarp over it, but from what I've been told, it should be built above that platform. So we'll have to wait and see.  Um, not quite sure why it vallied, it wasn't too windy, um, and it wasn't cold, it wasn't like crazy cold, so, um, it's a really weird place to vally too. Like I would have expected it to vally, uh, like in between the drop and that first turn around, um, but I just realized I got a raccoon and can y'all see the raccoon on the screen in the up left section? I just noticed that now. Um, but there is the, um, new front gate, um, so, not new front gate, the new extended entry. Leviathan's sign is back. That's crazy. That's awesome. So Leviathan's sign is back, but Leviathan's third train is not. Um, from what I'm hearing, there's a potential that Wonderland could be starting this season with only two trains, um, but I, that doesn't seem like Wonderland to me. So we'll see how that plays out. Um, Soopy's Racing Railway is coming along with the roofing on the buildings and finishing the final touches. Again, this ride should be open in time from what I'm hearing. So we'll have to wait and see. The race is on. Anyways, thanks so much for watching this really quick, but packed update. Um, have a good one guys. Bye.
