Who a hotter story? Something to think about.  Posed along. No, they're gonna say, take money. Take money. Take money from Athens, that's East Texas. That's a fact. Dang, I didn't even know that. They just keep adopting her saying she from dollars. She is from Athens, Texas. That's East Texas. Wow. Facts. That's a fact. Now, now, now there ain't another one. Name another. Name an artist in Houston who hotter than the artist down here. It's only one. Well, I say two. South Walker and Lil German. That's it. That's it. Ain't none of them artists. Ain't no artist in dollars or Houston hotter than C.C.O.P. in take money right now. But Lil German. That's it. That's the only one. And he in Houston. I can't really, like I said, I can't put my thing on it. Yeah, you can't. Look at the views. Look at all that. They're gonna, uh, it's a fact.   They keep on adopting, take money. Every time, what you hear when they say, take money. They're gonna say dollars. They're gonna say dollars. She from Athens, where is Athens? East Texas. East Texas. Yeah. That's 903. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. See, they don't want to talk about that. Well, she said she from dollars. It don't matter what she said. Y'all supposed to be, Dallas people supposed to be like, now, she ain't from dollars, but they want to get that shine. So they're gonna say, yeah, she from dollars. No, she from East Texas. They were doing side-thrombot three. Yeah, but see, that's the thing. When mode three was rapping, they was, ah, he from McKinney. He ain't from dollars. He ain't from dollars. He ain't from McKinney. I mean, he from McKinney. That's what they were saying.  Yeah, she gonna go. She jamming. She jamming. Yeah. I want to get on the show too. That's another one I want to get on the show, eventually. Like my list, they was talking about them lists last year. Man, all of them.  Damn, now everybody on that list I named on top right now. Everybody. Damn, now all of them is. Everybody on that list. That's a fact. Everybody on that list. When I said the hottest, the most promising in East Texas, damn, now all of them on that list. We can go down through there. That's a fact. Wow. Let me show you. I'm feelin' the name of them off. I'm feelin' the name of them off right now. I'm feelin' the name of them off. All of them working right now and all of them doing good. You got Megan Estagion, Don Tolofam, South Walker, Mo3, Lil' Jeremy, Yellow Beazy, Peso Peso, Trapboy, Tay Money, Lil' Lo, that he passed. You got Toby, from Houston, ALD. You got Enchantin', you got B-King, Number 7, Erica Banks, Baby Youngin', K-Breezy, Rizzo Rizzo, Lil' CJ Casino, K-Twin Flame, Luce Ace, Lil' Runny Mother Elf, Trilly Pope, Punchin' Brothers, name some, name one of them artists that ain't doin' nothin', that ain't doin' nothin' that I already know. All of them doin' somethin'. But then the people that get on here and say my list ain't valin' an dollar.  Well, it is your opinion, Trill Talk. But I mean it came to light, though. It is. All of them artists doin' somethin' right now. All of them. Every single one of them. When you look at it. But if I wouldn't have made that list, they would not even mention them these Texas dudes under. That's a fact. So monetize YouTube. Yeah. I see you doin' your thing. Yeah, I feel like, man, my thing is now I wanna make five people, I wanna help five people get monetized on YouTube. Okay. If I can help five people get monetized on YouTube, that'll create revenue for life for them five people. And then they gon' take it and they gon' do somebody else the same way. Now, I agree with that. That's residual income for the rest of their life. So how do you plan on helping? Like, I've been telling kids, like I've been telling people, like, make your kid a YouTube. Your kids playin' sports is no reason why they shouldn't have a YouTube. Yup, they should. Like, they gon' put their stuff on Huddle and all that stuff. They need to put it on their own YouTube so they can get paid for that. Especially since college players can get paid now. Think about it. If you push a kid from sixth grade, all of them today in college, pushin' their YouTube, promote their stuff. And they playin' sports or somethin' like that. You don't know how much money they can generate from that? Yup. A lot of money. So do you feel like everything's solid if you do that, you're able to, I think it will help, futuristic. It'll help more than one way. It'll help a lot of ways. Yeah, a lot of ways. And the thing that I think about a lot of times, even in this store, being here for 15 years, I just feel like if I started being serious about YouTube years ago, I'd be way better. What? I'm tellin' ya. I didn't think about it like that. I was more about that. I'm keepin' you admittin' that to me. Yeah, cause I was sellin' clothes. I wasn't even thinkin' about no YouTube. And I coulda been gettin' everybody to subscribe to keep doing that. And write that to be paid. I been real paid. Yeah, exactly. But I didn't think about it. That's why I said you gotta do it for the youth. Like Charleston be sayin' about the youth. Wow. You got the, you know, forget the grownups. Let's get the youth right. I wanna ask you about Charleston. Hold on a minute, sir. How do you get the youth right without the grownups? Because the grownups that doin' right, they can work with you.  Exactly.  So it's gonna be, they're gonna influence them. They gonna wanna go try to help them.  Once they get that first YouTube chick, they gonna forget about him. Do you? Yeah, but they have to get it. You have to get up to that part, though. Yeah. Are you right? I get it.  For doin' a song with Treboy? Yeah. Not really. And you heard what Ryan woulda said. That's his character. Yeah, I mean, I don't feel like he was wrong because at the end of the day he, did him and Mo3 over me? No. Exactly. So how is he wrong? I told him he wasn't wrong. He ain't wrong? Yeah, but you wouldn't want nobody to hang with somebody that had done something to one of you. If you'd not. Hold up, hold up, hold up. Mo3 and him friends. So, okay. What's him and Mo3 friends? They weren't friends at all. So why do we matter? But he's still locked in with him. He was talkin' with him and back and forth from text. Yeah, yeah. He might've been doin' it. That don't mean they were friends, though. I text a lot of people. So it was business is what you do? Yeah, it was business. See, I know the subject. What about, remember they always say booze and cupcakes didn't like each other. So why Mo3 got something to both of them? Exactly. It's a done deal. Same thing.  No different. Exactly. Ding, ding, never that light bulb. So. But people don't say that shit, though. No, they don't. So do you. And nobody else said nothin' about that. Kevin Gates said nothin' about it. Booze said nothin' about it. They all cool. No, cause they get money. Exactly, it's the internet. It's business, yeah. It's the internet. It's the people that's not gettin' no money.   Well, Ryan brought it up. Ryan made, Ryan is, and Ryan here has a say so cause he's a manager of Mo3. So he brought it up. Who made him Mo3? Who made his mouth a prebble? Yeah, but he brought it up. Who made Ryan water mouth a prebble? He's havin' the business right now for Mo3. Ryan water a block of two. Yeah, he is.  What makes him so, so above everybody? All I'm sayin' is he's doing the, he's tryin' to make the projects come out appropriately for the labels. They've given him this agenda to help. And so, he has a right to say what he wanna say about who he wanna say it about. Yeah, you're right. So that's why I say he says something. And just like that, I have a right to say what I wanna say about it. Well, yeah, that's your opinion. So when I say this opinion, but when he say it, it's loud. No, it's cause he's in a twine and tryin' to help that process now that Mo3 is gone. He gotta build up that legacy. He gotta try to do somethin' and keep the music, you know, in the place where people can still look at it, relevancy. So I get it why he does what he do. He ain't gonna do that, tryin' to tear down the other thing. But can I ask y'all a question, though? But Mo3 made those songs. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. You're right, you're right, you're right. I just wanna say that he put in the mouth. So tell me why he hasn't put out a positive song from Mo3 yet. Yeah, he got it. What a, what a, what a, what a, what a, long time coming, what a, all that kind of stuff, the um, what's the song, no love, where all them songs is. You can't say that because that song that he put out, the one outside is not a beef song. No, but it's not a beef song. Hold on, that song was never gonna get put out if Mo3 was alive. It don't matter, all I'm sayin' it wasn't a beef song. Exactly, where them songs in now? Yeah, but he put it out. That ain't, when they dropped that reloaded, that part two, the shotters. The first single was a song where he was on their walker, where he was on their walker. Mellon, that was the first single. Not the Mo3 song, no, no, that song where he was in that walker was the first single. Mo3 song is jamming. Yeah, it's jamming, but it couldn't be the first single. But he's still puttin' him out. He's just not puttin' out. Yeah, but he puttin' out, he puttin' out, what's the name out first? He puttin' out this song out first, every time. You know how he doin' that? But the trap was, hold on, hold on, hold on. It's a whole tug of war. But the trap was doin' that because he dissin' him. If every time I'm puttin' out, I'm on this thing, I'm postin' some, you got all these people hatin' on me, then you then turn around and the manager or the person who's supposed to be got these people mad at me, they comin' out with a diss song. What I'm supposed to do? I'm a diss bag. You don't tell me to stop dissin' the dead if the dead don't diss me. I really wanna see these guys come together for as, for as, cause rain, rain not a bad dude, you know?   I don't think trap ain't a bad dude. He helped the kids. I done dealt with people that say he helped them to do things for you. They buy bikes, these guys are prominent people in Dallas, Texas. So at the end of the day, I'm the dude that say, let's make a bridge instead of a wall, most three is passed on and I get it. But we gotta somehow come together with this whole situation for us, for the city when it come to our music makin', our entertainment, dealin' with the youth. But that ain't my business though, I'm East Texas. I'm out here with him. I put a lot of time and energy into the Dallas communities. I've done things, I've clothed the young, you see them on my channel. See, I do it in East Texas. I do it up here too, I do it in Dallas. I do it in Dallas. Shout out Fresh. Yeah, I get it true though, but I'm just sayin' it's a whole, and it's not just a East Texas Dallas thing, it's a Texas thing. They make it like that though. I'm just telling you, it ain't a East Texas thing. It wouldn't be like that. It ain't a Dallas thing. We got an event happenin' next week. I got people from Houston coming. You know why they been like that. I got people from Dallas here coming, that's coming, I got people from East Texas coming. I'm dealing with everybody, man. Okay, who are you got from East Texas? I got Camp comin', who else? It's a couple of people comin' from East Texas. They're gonna expect East Texas artists to be humble in there. No, it's not, it's not. You know what I mean? They always want to get the powers that be. No, we're the only ones there. Yeah, yeah. Ain't no way. Well, you need to make sure East Texas is the top of the skill, top of the skill. No, everybody even, man. It's about us coming together. It don't be even though other way. Listen, man. It ain't never even. It's always. I got artists from each place coming by, man, and that's the thing. We gotta try to make a bridge instead of a wall, man. We can't, but we not making a wall. They making a wall. Enemies, we hurt ourselves more than anything by putting up people in the comments, bro. East Texas, he ain't lying. East Texas this and East Texas that. They ain't got nothing. Name somewhere in East Texas. What city is East Texas? All this, that's the company. That's the company they don't know. That's ignorance. They hate. Because they don't know. But they behave, but the big of the business is ignorance. That's ignorance. Yes, exactly. But they don't mean, that's not a bad thing. So you don't think, Dallas and Houston treating East Texas like New York and California and all of them did South. You don't feel like that. I know that there's a difference, but I think that we can change it. Well, listen, if you don't know some, why are we gonna change it if they keep on talking about it? We change it. We change it. They don't know nothing about us. We change it by the bloggers, like we change it by, actually everybody was mad when a real tune did a list for Texacana. But I'm gonna be honest with you, those things are gonna have to happen in order for us to break those walls down. You're right. You're right. I see why some people is mad. They're just saying cause they feel like he ain't been down or whatever. I get it. But I'm telling you right now, if we want to, we've seen people make lists, we've seen people, so you talk about stuff to go on in Dallas? Yeah. If you connected to that person, you post Pooka Leroy stuff all the time. But I'm being Dallas. It don't matter. I'm saying we have to stop acting as if there's some type of wall put between each city. But who put the wall? We are Texas, man. But who put the wall? And we need to get out of San Antonio. You're still not answering my question. Who put the wall? I think you do it just like everybody else. I ain't put no wall. You just did it. No, I didn't. You just did it. No, I closed the door. Hold on, hold on, hold on.  No, no, no, no, no, no. That's how I look at it. That's the wall. Yeah. That's the wall. They started it though. Listen, no, listen.  No, listen, listen.  I'll do it. I mean, I'll walls have a door. I'll beat that all down. All walls have a door. See, if I was still rapping or something like this, see, you know what I'm saying? That's what people be saying. You got old rappers, mad rappers. I ain't one of them dudes. I ain't one of them dudes. I feel like it's a young nigga world. I feel like it's time for the young people to shine. Like it's a time of time where you gotta pass it on, pass on that torch. Let me just be honest with you. And I'm gonna say this and I'm gonna be real with you. You gotta understand this. Everybody don't like the way you put our stuff in these tents. They ain't got to fight me. They don't like to come fight. That ain't no wall. That's the wall. I'm saying it. That ain't no wall. I'm welcoming them. I'm welcoming them. I'm telling you, listen. There's a lot of East Texas artists that... Hold it, hold it. Before we go any further. Who didn't deal with what I did for East Texas? I'm not saying that you didn't do it for East Texas. I'm just saying a lot of times. Who puts song for East Texas more than me? When it come to putting everybody on every section. I don't see nobody putting more on me. Exactly, exactly, exactly. But still, a lot of times people don't like the way that you organize it.  What my shirt said, just because the only people who get mad about my list is people who are not on my list. What is it? The loser's gonna complain. That's where they humble, be humble. You gotta be humble, all that. That's a weak, that's a loser's trait. You don't gotta, if you a winner, you post a rule with an iron fist. All that, be humble. You got a lot of mad. That's a person telling you to be humble. That's a person who lose all the time. You got a lot of mad rappers, man. Yeah, it's a lot of them.    To keep rapping. Yeah, keep rapping. I'm supposed to be honest with them. If I don't like your music, that does not mean I don't like you personally. That mean I don't like your music. I'm just saying that, because it was a dude who inboxed me, talking about he wants to be on Boss Talk 101. And I told him, send me his music. And I told him, I said, you can do better. And he got mad at me, like I told him wrong. Exactly, you know what I'm saying?  Like you can't get mad because somebody don't like your stuff. A lot of people be thinking they popping in one little area and they not popping everywhere. Like when you make a hot song, you make a hot song on these tics. Everybody on these tics is hurt. You still got work to do. Exactly. Dallas ain't hurt this song. Houston ain't hurt this song. New York ain't hurt this song. See what I'm saying? Mm-hmm.

Alrighty, so I got to do the VIP experience at Canada's Wonderland, an experience that they'll be doing at all four, well three now, of the fireworks shows for the remainder of the season. Basically, what it is is you get a really fancy meal, well fancy for a theme park, a really fancy meal, unlimited snacks, unlimited drinks, and a balcony view of the fireworks. It is unmatched, look at this view, that's where the fireworks are about to take place, and honestly it was great. The service was great, the food was really good, so essentially it's the same food with a little bit of enhancement, so the beef brisket is on two buns. You get two sides, it's a really, really large portion of food. I couldn't even finish my food and I'm a bigger guy, but here's the food selection, so you have the same old chicken, but it had more seasoning on it. Everything is cooked a lot fresher because obviously it's only for 175 people max, so the food was great. Honestly it was a really good experience, it was some of the best food I've had at Canada's Wonderland ever. The vegetables were actually really good, I got them this time because I was so done with the theme park food for the day, but I'm about to show you guys the portioning size because it's insane, and then you get unlimited snacks on top of it and unlimited drinks, and I heard that they're going to be exploring some alcohol beverages as well for the future ones possibly. So here is the portion size, the macaroni and cheese was really good today, normally I hate it at Wonderland, but it was great and the vegetables again, amazing. Outside of that, it cost only $50 which is a huge, that's a discount in my opinion, they could have charged about $75 to $100 per person I think, and yeah, it comes with a really fantastic view. So here's the view I had for the fireworks show and you have speakers all around you up there, so you're getting a really good sound quality and it's a really great experience.  I know they'll probably raise it a bit, especially if they do explore the alcohol option, but yeah, 100% worth it, I would pay anywhere between $80 to $100 for this experience in the future as well. Outside of that, Wonderland finally opened the grass hill below for the general public, so that was really awesome to see as well. So definitely a lot more areas to view the fireworks from. Wonderland's honestly done a really good job on improving things all around and I think the last thing that Wonderland needs to really work on is their front gate and the cars exiting the parking lot at the end of the night. Those are two things that I think that I would really love to see Wonderland work on over the next couple of years, obviously they can't fix this right away. So those are the only two things that I kind of would give a negative review for my experience with the fireworks show this year. Outside of that, it was really busy today and Wonderland handled it really well. So kudos to Wonderland and kudos to the entertainment department and the food department for this amazing VIP experience today. Thanks so much guys, have a good one. Bye.


Your motor grader plays an important role in any construction or road maintenance activity. And if not properly maintained, the equipment may break down and work could stop completely. Because the equipment is used in many different road maintenance projects, the only person who can perform daily maintenance functions is you, the operator. Each agency has its own specific maintenance activities, and each equipment manufacturer has its recommended procedures. It is your responsibility to be sure that none of these special requirements are overlooked. This videotape will show the general methods and procedures for operator daily maintenance on motor graders. But more important, it tells you why these procedures are necessary. By using a check-off list, the operator can divide his checks into four groups of activities. These activities are the pre-start check, the warm-up check, the daily operating check, and the shutdown check. If during these activities problems are discovered, follow your local guidelines to determine corrective procedures. Follow along as our operator begins the first activity. The first activity consists of the pre-start check. This is a walk-around inspection for damaged or worn parts and fluid leaks. It also includes checking the equipment's fluid levels and air filter system. Starting with the tires, inspect their air pressure. Maintaining the correct tire pressure helps provide maximum tire service life. Also look at your tires for excessive wear, cuts, and sidewall damage. If any problems are discovered, report them to your supervisor. If your motor grader is fitted with directional tread tires, the operator must make sure that they are mounted correctly. With the operator standing at the front of the motor grader, the four rear tires should be mounted with the point of the tread pointing toward the ground. Tires mounted in this manner will provide maximum traction when blading material. However, on the front steering axle, the tires should be mounted with the point of the tread pointing upward. This reduces wear and provides better steering ability for the grader. Now that we have inspected the tires, we can move to the motor grader attachments. Check the mold board to make sure that there are no loose nuts or bolts. Also inspect the cutting edges and end bits for wear. If the cutting edges and end bits are worn to the mold board, report it to your supervisor so he can arrange to have them reversed or replaced. The scarifier should be inspected for broken or worn teeth. If a replacement is needed, follow your local guidelines. As part of the pre-start check, you should look for any fluid leaks. Fluid leaks will affect the safe operation of your equipment. Often leakage can be found by looking on the ground under the motor grader. If you see any wet spots or stains, look above the spot to locate the source of the leak. Brake fluid leaks may be found by looking at or feeling the inside of the wheels. Look for hydraulic oil leaks at the circle attachment, scarifier and steering cylinders. Hydraulic leaks are most often found at the cylinders, rod seals or at the hose connections. While you're at the circle attachment, take time to inspect the circle top face and the slide shift bar. If you're working under extremely dirty conditions, they will need to be cleaned daily with diesel fuel and lubricated as specified by the manufacturer. Once a thorough inspection of the hydraulic system has been completed, you can continue checking for leaks in the engine compartment. In the engine compartment, oil and fuel leaks may occur around the filter bowl seals or at the hose connections. Feel the bottom of the filter bowls for oil or fuel leaks. Radiator leaks may be caused by loose hose connections or a damaged radiator. We have inspected the motor grater for leaks. Now we must see if the fluids are at the correct operating levels. The engine oil must be at the proper level on the dipstick. If the oil is below the proper level, do not run the engine until the proper type and amount of oil is added. The fan will control the temperature of the engine. Proper operation of the fan depends on the fan belts. Hand test the fan belts for tautness and examine the belts for wear. Now look at the coolant level. Be sure that the fluid in the radiator is at the level required for your particular machine as specified by your supervisor. Add more coolant if needed. Never remove the radiator pressure cap while the engine is hot. The cap is designed to maintain pressure in the cooling system. This pressure, if released by removing the cap, could cause serious injury to you. Once you have finished with the engine's cooling system, you can check the engine's air filter system. Begin with an inspection of the pre-cleaner bowl. If dust or other material have accumulated in the bowl, clean it. Dump out the dirt and wipe with a clean rag. Be careful if the pre-cleaner is plastic as it can crack or break if you hit it against a hard surface. Daily cleaning of the pre-filter will greatly reduce clogging of the air filter elements. This indicator warns you when to clean or replace the dry type air cleaner element of your air cleaner. Dry type air cleaner elements should either be replaced with a new element or a serviced element that has been vacuum cleaned and inspected by specialized shop equipment. If a replacement element is not available, the operator should clean the old element in the following manner. To clean a dusty element, remove it. Tap the element with the palm of your hand. Do not pound it on a hard surface. It could damage the element. If tapping does not remove dust, use compressed air if available. Direct the air up and down the pleats, blowing from inside to outside. The element can be checked to see if it is clean by placing a light bulb inside and viewing the penetration of light through the pleated paper of the element. If a light bulb is not available, hold the element toward the sun and view the penetration of sunlight passing through the pleated paper from the outside of the element to the inside. Reinstall the element, making sure that the housing is correctly sealed. This will ensure proper air filtration through the system. Never operate the engine without the element in place, as this can cause extensive engine damage. Important additional inspections are at the battery. A word of caution. All batteries give off explosive gas. There should be no open flame or smoking permitted around the battery. Follow your local safety guidelines when working with batteries. If needed, fill each cell to just above the top of the battery plates and separators with clean distilled water. Never fill the cell to the top or allow the fluid to drop below the top of the battery plate and separators. Before you leave, make sure that the battery is securely fastened. Check the battery cables, clamps and connections for tautness and corrosion. Next, we will need to drain condensation and sediment from the fuel tank. To do this, a drain cock is provided at the bottom of the fuel tank. Open the drain until all condensation and sediment have been removed. Never perform this while smoking or with an open flame in the area. Draining this sediment helps keep the fuel clean and prevents clogging of components. Sediment like this, if not removed from the system, can cause serious engine damage. Now, look at the hydraulic fluid level. A dipstick or site gauge is provided for this inspection. In this case, it is a site gauge. Hydraulic fluid is necessary for the operation and control of the motor grater and the attachments. As with engine oil, hydraulic fluid must be the proper type and amount. Now for your last pre-start check. Record your engine hour meter reading. The hour is registered will determine when you need to notify your supervisor that the motor grater periodic maintenance is needed. Before we go on to the next set of checks, this is a good time to stop the videotape and review the inspection steps up to this point. In the last segment, we finished our pre-start check. Now we can go on to the second activity, the equipment warm-up check. The equipment warm-up check is carried out in the parking area. It helps ensure that the motor grater will perform as it should during daily use. Before starting the engine, be sure to see that all control levers are in the neutral position. The parking brake is on and that all attachments are grounded. Now, start your engine. Let the engine warm-up for 5 to 10 minutes, even in hot weather. This allows the oil pressure to build up and lubricate all moving parts in the engine while the coolant begins to circulate and heat the engine to its operating temperature. If your equipment uses air pressure, this warm-up allows the air compressor to build up pressure in the air tank. Listen to your engine.  The paddle gauges provide information about the equipment operation. Look at these gauges to make sure they are operating in their normal ranges. Does the amp meter read on the positive side? Is the oil pressure in the safe zone? Is the fuel tank gauge functioning? Is the tank full? Is the temperature gauge reading in the safety zone? If applicable, does the air pressure gauge or warning light indicate safe operating pressure? If your grader is equipped with additional gauges, these should also be checked to verify their operation. Before making any additional checks, be sure that any people are a safe distance from the machine. Lift the attachments from the grounded position. Once these attachments are raised, you can check their operation. Lift the mold board up and turn the circle. Check the side shift and the blade tilt. Now, test the scarifier. Notice that the scarifier was left in the raised position. This protects the asphalt pavement from damage. Does the scarifier raise smoothly? Do all the control levers function properly? An additional part of the hydraulic system is the steering. Does it have a smooth and even movement in response to your controls? It should. For the last warm-up check, you should test the brakes before starting out. Release the parking brake. Put the motor grader in motion. Then apply the foot brake. Your brakes should feel solid. If they do not hold, or if they need to be pumped, shut down your equipment and notify your supervisor immediately. All these pre-start and warm-up checks are critical to safe and efficient equipment operation. Do not leave the parking area until the list has been completed. Once this has been done, you are ready to begin work. The third operator maintenance activity, the daily operating check, is carried out while the grader is working. During daily operations, you should monitor your equipment's performance. Specifically, listen for unusual noises. Read your gauges. And be aware of changes in the performance of your equipment. We can look at these individually. Listen for unusual engine and equipment noises. These noises warn us of problems that could damage the motor grader. Look at your gauges during operations. They indicate changes in equipment operation. If any gauge reads in the danger zone, shut down and inspect the system. Notify your supervisor. Be aware of changes in your equipment's performance. Report any changes. The fourth and last daily maintenance activity is the shutdown check. The shutdown check helps prepare your grader for the following workday. If your agency provides a fueling station, pull in there first and fill your fuel tank. This minimizes water compensation. When doing this, be sure all fueling equipment is clean. This prevents contaminants from entering the fuel tank. Since these are flammable liquids, do not smoke or have an open flame in the area. Your facility may provide an area to clean your vehicle. If so, pull into this area next. Clean away dirt or material from the machine that is built up during the workday. After cleaning, find a level area to park your equipment. Set the parking brake. Lower all hydraulic attachments until their full weight rests on the ground. This secures your equipment and prevents injury to anyone tampering with the machine while it is parked. Now, let the engine idle for approximately five minutes before shutting down. This reduces the pressures in your working systems that can cause leaks or damage. After the engine has been turned off, record the hour meter reading. This is important for keeping a record of your equipment's periodic preventive maintenance. Now, using a grease gun, grease the mechanical joints. Proper lubrication extends the operating life of your motor greater. Follow your equipment's guidelines for proper lubrication procedures. One way to make it easier for you to identify the daily lubrication points is to have them marked. If your water pump is equipped with a grease fitting, do not forget to grease the water pump shaft. That completes the detailed description of the four major daily operator maintenance activities. Now, let us review each group of activities once more. The first activity is the pre-start check. This is a walk around inspection looking for damaged or worn parts such as the attachments and tires. It also includes checking for fluid leaks of the hydraulic, cooling, engine and brake systems. The engine's air filter system is inspected. The fluid levels, oil, coolant and hydraulic are checked for proper levels. And finally, dirt and condensation are drained from the fuel tank. The second activity is the equipment warm-up check. This is made from inside the cab while the engine is warming up. Listen for unusual engine noises. Be sure to read the gauges and test the hydraulic system and brakes before leaving the parking area. The third activity is the daily operating check. The operating check during the workday includes listening for unusual noises, frequently reading gauges and being aware of changes in the equipment's performance. The fourth and last activity is the shutdown check. Fill the fuel tank. Clean away dirt and debris. Park the machine on a level surface and set the parking brake. Rest all hydraulic system attachments on the ground. Idol the engine for approximately five minutes prior to shutdown. Record your hour meter reading and grease all mechanical joints. This videotape has included general maintenance procedures. Your agency may require that you modify certain activities. There also may be additional safety inspection points. If so, follow your local operator guidelines. This concludes the videotape on motor grader operator daily maintenance. Following these procedures will help ensure that your motor grader is properly maintained and stays in good working condition.


Very good morning to you and thanks for joining us on the run-up. My name is Nyamgul Aggaji. I also have BioLua K here with me. Bio, good morning and welcome to the program. This time around if you hear someone's voice, it is very, very gladdening because you know that the person has woken up, there's poverty in the land as it were. There is hardship in the land because of a lot of factors and I think it's time to just be checking our loved ones to know how they are faring even though you may not be able to do anything from afar. I don't know how the situation of the scarcity of narrow nodes is in the area you are bio. It's a nationwide problem. I mean it's a nationwide problem and people are complaining everywhere. I think there's probably a disconnect between the central bank and the commercial banks because the CBN apparently issued a directive requesting commercial banks to start paying out the new narrow nodes across the counter but you would find queues. The queues are still long. In many cases on moving, there are stationary queues. They have the move which signposts or rather gives an impression that not much is happening by way of the money being dispensed and so the queues are static and people are frustrated. Frankly, I cannot put a finger on exactly what's going on. The major issue is even if we're doing a cashless policy, you find out that even when you try to do transfers it's very very difficult. Sometimes it doesn't go through, sometimes you'll be debited but it doesn't get to the destination and the reversal it's taking a long time. Sometimes you go to the ATM and for every 1000 narrow nodes you're being charged and then you're paid only 3000 narrow and you're expected to go into the market to buy things in an economy whose inflation has gone more than 20% and it's a very very dangerous thing because like they say, a hungry man is an angry man. Now there was this case that just happened. Was it today or yesterday where army men went to uni-ben and they were beating up everybody and that was because the first day or the previous day they had gone to the ATM according to the stories while everybody was on cue to withdraw the little money that they could withdraw the men in uniform went and intimidated everyone drove everyone away went and withdrew the money that was available and they went back the next day and the students also said okay if this is what you're going to be doing we cannot be hungry while you be collecting the money and the fight started now the soldiers have gone back there as a reprisal and all that. So the point I'm trying to make here is that for as long as people are hungry a lot of caution is thrown to the win and it becomes more and more dangerous why I asked you in the first time what it was like in your area is that in some places POS are charging an amount that you think they are just short of just holding guns because it's so outrageous and they are giving you all sorts of explanations and all that in some other places they are still having a human face at least so that's why I was asking whether it is so terrible in your area or it's the same as in some other areas that are a little bit fine. Well I mean the situation is basically the same I think that for the very slow I mean I experienced that myself yesterday I bought I bought something the transaction didn't go through I ended up having to pay cash and I wasn't I didn't want to pay cash because I have very small amount of the of the new loads and I didn't want to spend I didn't want to spend them where if I have the option of being a transfer and also because if you spend them you'll get old notes back as as change and you're trying to get rid of the old one so it's a catch to any two situations you know but I think the the transaction process is extremely slow on the on the POS is because they there's so there's so many people on the system you know everybody is on the system trying to make trying to make things work for them so it slows down this is what I suspect right now for the and then they have to do something about this I mean the other day we were talking about the bandwidth you know the internet bandwidth yeah when everybody started working from home because of COVID in the first few weeks when the whole world switched to online we had problems the system was very slow because it was not configured for having so many people at the same time but in a matter of weeks you know if it was resolved you could go and zoom you could go on sky you could go on anything and it was normal speed even if there were so many people so my expectation was that perhaps a similar approach ought to have been taken when the CBN knew that this process was going to be launched to have involved all the companies provided access access you know visa whatever it is with the banks basically used to ensure that there's an increase in the bank apparently that is not happening with regard to the soldiers who went to university of the name in my personal opinion this I don't see any reason for soldiers to have come there first of all I believe that most of the military bags have ATMs there are banks there are ATMs so for soldiers to go out of the bags and go into a university campus although this is what we saw online but I want to believe there's an element of truth to it I don't think it was fabricated but of course it should be investigated and therefore for them to have engaged in no matter the level of provocation they had no right to have engaged in the act you know that they have been alleged you know to have been engaged in and it speaks also to the level of discipline from the barracks from where they came the commanding officer of that barracks from where those soldiers came has to explain why he so just left the barracks and whether they were authorized to go out of the barracks at that time you know because discipline has to be taken seriously because what has happened now is that they are giving the army a very bad image okay by their conduct or by their alleged conduct they are giving the military a very bad name so the commanding officer of that barracks ought to take measures he has to find out why those soldiers left that barracks at that time and for the students of the University of Benin who are alleged they have a right to complain to the police and they have a right to complain to the proposed mashup of the Nigerian army they probably knew where those soldiers came from so and what usually happens is that people don't take action and people just complain but the people know the right quarters and take the necessary action I am sure this will not repeat itself so the authorities of the students have a right to complain to the commanding officer of that barracks and to the proposed mashup of the Nigerian army yeah well but like I said a hungry man is an angry man um the soldiers should never have cost to be hungry because there are no uh naira notes to use and the students also should not have any cost to be hungry uh hungry because they don't have money to spend I've seen people who have been stranded in places I've seen people who are otherwise rich men uh becoming almost like beggars I've seen stories some of them online you may not believe them but the ones I have seen I've seen people really really suffering whatever has to be done by the by the central bank of Nigeria should be done and should be done very fast because the more it stays the more it lingers the angrier people get is this is not about election or anything but it's just about the welfare of the people we didn't know yes we didn't we didn't plan for this we didn't envisage this but on the other hand I know that the policy is good in fact it's not a new policy this this should have been happening every five years or ten years as as the case may be but now it has happened after so many years so we are trying to adjust but whatever has to be done should be done now and before now bio I was talking with a security expert um about another grievance another anger that the people may be feeling now because they are online stories like you said that we cannot believe all of them uh about uh bandits supposed bandits and less bandits brandishing new neurones and claiming that they have up to 10 million and the security expert just laughed and said these people are people who want to incite the citizens against the government and they like to do what they call war propaganda so nobody should ever take them seriously because I mean how do they get this money so I I tend to tilt to his side as well and to also talk to Nigerians that the fact that you're seeing it online does not mean it is true it's if if a fight begins within the community it is not these supposed bandits that are trying to soil the name of the government that will suffer it is you and I that will suffer so let's appeal to the relevant authorities to do the needful rather than believing what bandits that already have shown themselves as people who want to divide this nation are showing online so I'm just borrowing the words of the security expert to also talk to Nigerians maybe you have a word as well to say I mean you said it all you see we need to be extremely careful in this day of social media we need to be extremely careful because social media gives you immediacy which means you can put anything else as it is happening you can even put it live and as long as you know there are no facts checks made you don't have the date you don't have the location you don't have all of those kinds of information on whatever is published most times it is very difficult to ascertain or to verify you know what has been published and so we need to be extremely careful it is not just about what what we find but there are also people who don't even check the information they are sharing people just see something and they just forward it and this this cuts across ages and seeing people who are in their 60s who are in their 50s doing the same thing you don't forward everything it's not everything you get that you must forward there are people who bombard other people with so much information just forwarding and forwarding without even knowing whether what you're forwarding is true or false and then you generate unnecessary discussion in some cases you generate unnecessary tension you know and that's where we were discussing the universe case I said what the soldiers were alleged to have done because unless all these things are verified and confirmed it is usually difficult to speak comparatively on that so we have to be extremely careful. Okay well I'd like to just inform our viewers right now that the second half of this program we will be talking with a legal practitioner Ken Abbasu and we our concern will be what INEC predicted about fuel scarcity maybe affecting the that it might affect the elections on the 25th of February and maybe beyond and all that but right now we're just looking at some topical issues that are worrisome in our society right now people like we have said throughout this show we've talked about people have called in to say there are now three queues there's a queue for the fuel there's a queue for new narrow nodes in fact for money not just new narrow nodes and then there's also a queue for PVC everybody needs to queue for all these ones because one of at least two of them will affect you whether you have a car or not the fuel scarcity will affect you whether you have an account in the bank or not the new narrow nodes or the money will affect you their unavailability of the money will affect you and also everything else that we are queuing for but we have to take the right decisions we have to be patient a little bit more and all that well let's just look at another security issue that may not be related to what is happening right now it's an old issue about the the former minister of petroleum that disney allison madioke that was there was a request put forward that the uk government should let her come and face the music in nigeria and the uk government blatantly said no whatever reasons that might be and the the um interpol chief in nigeria said that for whatever or whoever is supposed to answer to any crime in their country they made sure they sent those people there for whoever was supposed to come back to nigeria they made sure those people come came back to nigeria for for the case of allison madioke they were not able to get this permission this uh this from the from the uk government now i don't know you have interaction with the international community what can make a country not to release someone who is supposed to answer for crimes in her in her country for that country to go and prosecute what are some of these issues that we're looking at that we may not know at first site i think the standard thing i mean this even any student of international relations you know probably know that as well the standard thing is that oftentimes there has to be an extradition agreement between the countries involved so in this case like you mentioned the interpolic example you gave and the reasons they get so nigeria and the uk i know they have an extradition treaty and so because otherwise the the gentleman who was speaking would not have said there have been instances when they have sent people to the uk on the request of the uk as well as vice versa so why would missis desiani alison madrigan not be extradited i wouldn't know if he had said all the terms of the extradition agreement have been fulfilled uh because then then we will know that they've actually followed that and then we also need to know if this is bilateral request for extradition in other words in in in which case it's a direct request on the nigerian government the british government or it's a request being processed through interpol in which case interpol will be working with this nigerian interpol the working with the british interpol counterpart because it's a crime it has been committed in one country and then this person has crossed and and there's therefore an international arrest warrant if i'm correct which has been processed through interpol so i don't know exactly the the the procedure you know that this extradition request was made whether it's bilateral government to government or whether it's processing an arrest warrant through interpol or since it was the interpol officer uh who was talking another nigerian ministry of foreign affairs i want to assume that this request was processed but i may be wrong uh this request was processed through interpol still we don't know the the reasons for which it was not granted have not been disclosed and so we we we are only left to you know debate what was said discuss what was said without actually knowing the details of the request okay my quarrel all has always been that whatever it is nigeria should build itself to such an an extent that every time they're talking with another country they will have a bargaining chip that is very very glaring anyway we are moving on to other issues well um the probe the the second part of our program we're going to be dealing with uh so many other issues there will be a time we'll talk about what comment that the minister for minister goff reo nema goff reo nema yeah that's that's the name i was i was forgetting he said that um we we should not complain about the travels of uh mr president that he should do even more about that but we'll not discuss that now what we are going to discuss after the break will be that the extension of the collection of permanent voters cards pvcs nationwide to 5th of february 2023 uh is finishing in a matter of days but ionic national commissioner has said that no timetable of ionic will be scuttled by any any complaints that people are complaining everything will still go the way it should go the extension of pvc collection ends on sunday 5th of february 2023 and there are still complaints on the process of the collection with many nigerians calling on ionic to allow nigerians with temporary voters cards to exercise their rights however the independent national electoral commission like i said have said that they are not contemplating shifting or adjustment of timetable for the forthcoming polls the electoral body insisted that on no account would it allow anti-democratic forces that's how they called it and 5th columnist confused the nigerian people on the plans and intention of the commission the clarification became imperative following a report by a national daily that the electoral body was contemplating postponing postponing the presidential election by two weeks due to recent attacks suffered by the commission especially in the southeast now there is a report on the pvc collection process and challenges faced by nigerians in leaguers and other parts of the country but after that report when we return we'll meet our guest stay with us


Alright, so our next speaker is CEO and founder of Hashed Health, a healthcare tech innovation company focused on accelerating realization of blockchain and distributed ledger tech.  So without further ado, let me introduce John Bass. Hey, how's that sound? Can everybody hear me? Cool. This is great, thank you for being here, thank you for coming. I'm gonna move pretty fast.  I assume if you're here, you know what blockchain is and how it works. I am gonna talk a little bit about healthcare and why blockchain is important and how we hope that it can empower consumers and become a tool for us to change the system. You know, everyone complains about the healthcare system and it's certainly a topic of conversation right now but it actually is working as designed. I don't know how many of you've read Homo Deus, a great book if you haven't read it. Yvonne Harari talks about it pretty well in there, basically says that for the first time in history, more people are dying of overeating, eating too much than too little and more people are dying from old age than from infectious disease. We've really been successful at creating a system that keeps people alive, that fixes acute care illnesses. We are really good at that and we've built up these massive insurance companies and pharma companies and a lot of different middlemen and between EMR companies that have done very well because of that system and it's been successful in a lot of ways but the problem is that it seems to be going a little bit backwards in terms of quality. We ranked number one in cost but number 37 in terms of quality and it is eating away all of our GDP. Right now we're looking at about 18, climbing close to 20% of GDP and by 2020 the estimate is that it will be around five trillion dollars in healthcare costs. It's basically eating our government. Over time there will be little room for much else other than healthcare and the waste is pretty substantial. The estimate is that 25% of those costs are administrative waste. About a third of that five trillion dollars is waste. It comes in a lot of different forms according to the NIH. Services, basically needless services are the biggest piece at $210 billion per year. Administrative costs at $190 billion. Inefficiencies, pricing transparency, fraud and the failure to prevent diseases continue in terms of making up that 25%. The leading killers in our country are heart disease, cancer and medical errors. Medical errors are the third largest contributor to death, mortality, morbidity in the country according to CDC last year. Medical errors kill more people than respiratory disease and one of the kind of consensual themes here is that our fee-for-service healthcare system actually rewards those errors.  We're working to change that but we're still built on top of fee-for-service infrastructure and fee-for-service relational databases and systems that are a fundamental challenge to us digging our way out of the hole that we're in. Fee-for-service creates these perverse incentives and the relational databases, create siloed data structures that prohibit us from really moving the ball forward in terms of interoperability. At the same time, most of the people who really need help are, for example, mental health patients, one in five Americans and the really bad ones aren't in the institutions where they should be but they're in jail or they're in on the streets or they're in the morgue. We're realizing that while we've gotten really good at treating acute care illnesses, we're really not so good at treating those leading causes of death like cancer and heart disease and respiratory failure because we seem to have over time institutionalized some of those illnesses. Health is not about, it's about more than the absence or lack thereof of disease. It's about your environment and it's about what's going on around you.  Do you live in a food desert and are you generally happy with your situation? An interesting study on rats found that rats will choose opioids over food when they're caged but they'll choose food over opiates when they're not caged. A lot of your health has to do and your tendencies towards escape has to do with your situation in life. We know this yet we continue to market opiates and other things that are destructive to health because it feeds that system that we've created. Another interesting point is that brain studies have shown that sugar is as addictive as cocaine and sugar is the leading cause of a lot of these problems that I'm talking about. Cancer, for example, feeds off of sugar. The last depressing statistic that I will talk about as we start to look at how we're going to change the system, we have to recognize that the, you can't read that, but that's the health and pharma lobby on the left. In terms of contributions to government lobbying, financial contributions far outweighs other types of lobbying. It's really hard to change the system under these circumstances. Despite successes, and there have been many, we're really good at knee replacements and hip replacements and fixing trauma and keeping people alive and treating people when they have certain types of cancers and heart disease and things. My grandfather turned 107 years old a couple weeks ago, so there's a lot of good that we can do for people and there's reasons to do that, but we can't afford it and it's starting to become weak in terms of its ability to deliver quality to the patients who need that care. We are clearly headed for a crisis in terms of how much it all costs. We have a system that worked well for a while and has become a big ugly baby that we need to now take care of. So we're at 20% of GDP and we're starting to go backwards, how do we fix it? Well, certainly there's a lot of noise coming out of Washington on how to do that, but we really seem to be struggling with it. I am not making any kind of political statement here. Obama's tried and the new administration is finding that things are a little more complicated than they had realized, maybe, and we all seem to be headed towards a, you know, both sides of the aisle seem to be pointing towards a single-payer system where government runs our healthcare. So what are we going to, what do we need to do? What I would believe is that we've got two paths. One is to do that and the other is to change the conversation and empower the patient, empower the consumer. And unfortunately in our country it seems like crises are what's necessary for us to really start to change behavior and open a new door. But I think now is the time that we can do that and certainly there's a lot that would be required, but I believe that one of the fundamental things is how do we start to re-envision a foundational architecture for the value chains that exist in healthcare and the consumers' roles and responsibilities, the consumers' position in their own care and in the care of their communities. So I'm going to talk about how blockchain can help. And when I say blockchain, I'm not sure how many kind of blockchain philosophers we have in the audience, but for right or wrong blockchain has become a term that encompasses what I consider a spectrum of trust-based transactional systems. There are public and private blockchains. There's a lot of different protocols that have been advanced to solve specific issues in blockchain world. And I'm going to, for the purposes of this conversation, lump that all underneath the word blockchain as many people do today. Blockchain, you know, like Bitcoin it provided a new conversation in terms of moving a currency around. We need a new conversation in terms of moving data and moving health-related data assets between companies and between companies and individuals. And the guys who were before me gave you one interesting use case of that if anyone was here to see it. Trust is a big problem in healthcare and the concept of moving trust from intermediaries and centralized third parties to the protocol is a fundamentally exciting and interesting concept that we are pursuing. In addition, the idea of taking what's currently building applications across the value chain on top of existing relational databases and using the blockchain as a market-level data structure upon which we can build new types of applications is a really exciting concept. And it's a new way to innovate in terms of healthcare delivery. A few of the use cases that we are working on at hash health. Identity and identity-related use cases. In our world, there are two different versions of identity that we are working on. One is patient identity and we have got some relationships with hospitals around the country where we are starting to look at first putting a core identity and then building out extensions of that core identity to look at the patient's profile, health-related profile for healthcare relationships and healthcare transactions. Same thing is true on the provider side. We are looking at core identity and these extensions that are things that currently need to be maintained in order for physicians to transact business in terms of today's structure, health plans have to maintain about 15 different data fields on every physician that is part of their system. That information has to be correct in order for that physician to treat a patient to get paid for that treatment in order for a claim to be processed correctly. So that's something that is really a problem now. And in the future, core identity plus these attributes plus things like patient-reported outcomes measures and quality scores will be important for physician identity-related concepts as we look to create future blockchain-based marketplaces. So those are a few examples of identity-related projects that we are working on and related to that is also on the IOT side and on quantified self. If you think about it, quantified self is kind of an extension of your patient identity. It's a health-related extension of you as a person and the information that needs to be understood in real and virtual marketplaces going forward in order for us to know how to price treatment and things like that. Quantified communities, you know, at Hash Health we talk a lot about not only the individual but the community in which that person exists. So allowing people patients to form groups and then look at attributes of the group and allow them to connect to provider and provider groups in new ways, new and innovative ways of aggregating. And self-sovereign medical records, the idea for you as a patient to have your mobile device that has your information on it and opening and closing the door to that data much like you would a Bitcoin wallet is an exciting concept rather than having, as you move through an episode of care, each physician you talk to or see opening and closing the door to their EMR platform for you. That does not make sense. It's not sustainable and doesn't scale and doesn't solve the problems we need to solve today or in the future. Broken value chains, there's a million concepts here. Pharmacy benefits management, the pharma value chain, the supply chain. A lot of blockchain based solutions are looking at track and trace and serialization solutions. I think the larger opportunity in terms of pharma and supply chain is unmasking the complicated and obscure a way that we manage these value chains in terms of payments and contracting. For a lot of different reasons over the years we've built these admin fees and rebate fees and these big intermediaries that sit between businesses so that now pharma companies don't even know who takes their drugs without buying that information from a middle man. So the middle of these value chains has gotten so bloated that no one on either side knows what's happening anymore. So it's a great opportunity to create more peer to peer relationships between the entities who really need to understand that information and allow for us to take that value that's currently being extracted and bring and give it back to the patients. The same thing is true on the value chains for medical records and claims, life cycle and a lot of different value chains in healthcare. Those are just a few examples.  The concept of programmable value or programmable currencies in healthcare is a very powerful concept. The idea of linking payment to benefits is a concept that over time I think could revolutionize the insurance industry. So when you talk about all of these different use cases that I just kind of blew through, identity, diagnostics, these different value chains, payments, that's healthcare. And it's a more peer to peer as you chip away at that, it builds a more peer to peer version of healthcare that puts the consumer at the center in a way that also creates this feedback loop kind of around a learning healthcare system. The leading protocols, you know, we've done a lot of different projects now. We've got a lot of different relationships that we've got with a lot of different healthcare enterprise and consumer focused organizations. In our experience, the leading protocols are hyper ledger, fabric and sawtooth lake. The enterprise Ethereum alliance has got some interesting healthcare activities going on. Obviously, anchoring to the Bitcoin blockchain where you can use a public blockchain is something that you would strive to do. Most use cases that we come across, most use cases that people are asking for, at least in the short term, are private permissioned blockchains. I hope this is a temporary thing and as things mature, we all migrate towards public open chains, but due to some of the sensitivities in healthcare, especially depending on the use case, private permission chains seem to be kind of the default. We are starting to look at Ether Mint and Tender Mint because of some of the things there and then we are very interested in things like Tezos and EOS in terms of some of the newer protocols that are coming along. We believe blockchain is a good enabler for the reasons I mentioned before. I think there's lots of powerful things we can also do around incentivizing patient behavior, whether a lot of that could involve using a token. We are looking at moving towards a world where patients are at the center of these collaborative networks that are designed to organize and empower people who both are providing and consuming health related services. The idea of prosumers, the idea of you as the consumer using your data to create value for yourself, those are concepts that we are very excited about, creating new assets, new types of currencies, new types of health marketplaces. Everything we do is built off of mass collaboration and we hope that's the strategy of the future. Certainly it's core to the blockchain space and we believe that over time it's going to be really interesting to watch healthcare companies behave and think of themselves more like software companies. Same thing could be true for clinicians and researchers. Now is the time that we can, because of the crisis, because of all this scary stuff that's going on, we hope that now is the time to rethink this fundamental relationship that exists not only in our country but around the world in terms of commerce and its relationship to healthcare. I'd be happy to stick around for a few minutes. If you want to learn more you can reach out to me and thank you. I think we have time for maybe one or two questions. Cool. Hi, thank you for your talk. So there are ways that blockchain could change the incentive structures as you described. For example, we could put a bounty on your future health and incentivize doctors to proactively make you healthier, as strange as that would be. But that would require, a change of that level would probably require a long regulatory process. So what do you see as the potential entry points for researchers, startups, and probably most people in this room to start acting and changing the incentives now without requiring a long government approval process? So this was exactly the question I had for myself about a year and a half ago when I left HCA to start hash health. How do you create a company in the healthcare space with that in mind? And so what I decided was simple demonstrations of value in the B2B relationships were a good place to start. How do we create new ways to manage things like provider directories for insurance companies? And now granted that those types of use cases are kind of nibbling around the edges of existing systems, but I think in the short term those are important demonstrations of value to prove that the blockchain is capable of solving real problems in today's world as we build a foundation for these longer term, more disruptive solutions. So when you think about, you know, there are real problems and identity both on the patient side and on the provider side that we can solve in the next year or two using the blockchain. There are real opportunities in things like reward systems for health behaviors I think that we can solve in a fairly short period of time. And then these concepts of identity payments incentives start to form the foundation for a marketplace that becomes more and more real over the five to ten year horizon. Thanks for your question. Thank you.
