Hello and welcome back to another round in the red light body panel showdown Comparison piece that I'm doing. So my name is Alex from AlexFergus.com. This is part three I believe of this showdown comparison piece in part one We looked at price and shipping costs in part two We looked at non native EMF fields emitted from these devices and today in part three We are looking at power output or irradiance from these panels. What are these panels? Well, you can see them behind me I've got six of the markets leading most popular red light therapy body panels on the right here I've got the mitre red mitre max here. I've got the red therapy Red Rush 720 Black one here is the mitre HQ mitre panel. You think by now I remember all the names, but I haven't Here I have the platinum LED therapy biomex 600 the juve solo is next to that and then finally We have the red light rising Full stack, which is the big taller. So we've already looked at a few key points emf being one and of course price probably the biggest Question Shopping point, I guess is the power and it's people want to know well What's what's the most powerful panel or how much power does it emit now? This is a very confusing controversial Topic or subject if you haven't read my article on red light therapy head over to Alex weeks.com I've got a pretty intense article there It's um everything you need to know about red light therapy and I go into power going to radiance I go into what you need to look for when it when you're buying devices and what's important and everything like that However, I need to be clear that there is still a lot of uncertainty around this alright just because um A study shows that X amount of power applied to a scenario helps. There's a lot of variables at play Distance half the frequency of that Dosage does it has been having systematic Systemic effects for instance so many things alright and um The other tricky thing with measuring power is as you go further away from the panel Yes, the power level drops off But all these panels have their LEDs work in unique ways and they have things called beam angles Alright, so some of these panels have quite targeted beam angles Meaning that the power is the light the photons are going directly in front of the LED I just have quite wide meaning being the angles meaning that it's you know The further away you go the wider the area which means a smaller panel actually treats a larger area But of course the consequence of that is The power level is lower because that same amount of power is spread out versus the targeted approach where it's all Concentrated now there's pros and cons of everything You know me if you want to spot treat a sore knee you want that targeted approach If you want to do the whole body and you can only afford one panel you might want a wide beam angle We're gonna look at beam angle later on in this series, I'm not gonna score on the angle because Some people want the wide some people want narrow so you know I'm not gonna give points to that because one isn't better than the other But I will I will read out what these panels have um, but because of that issue It's too difficult for me to measure power levels at a distance So for instance six inches or 12 inches or whatever Because I don't know the beam angle and I don't think it's fear to the panels because if I do that What's gonna happen is the panels that seemed all the light directly in front and concentrated are gonna get better results and then that's gonna show up saying that this panel the results are gonna Make the assumption that that panel is more powerful when it may not be the case It may just be that the other panel was seen in all its light on a white spectrum And in fact, I know that these panels have quite different beam angles.  So I'm sorry for the background noise So for instance, it's really therapy have made it known that they have a white beam angle, which means they treat a larger treatment area at a distance so because of all that I was like, what do I do I? Can one use the manufacturer's numbers and just score them based off that However, some of those numbers are a little bit murky. They just say bigger, you know greater than XYZ It doesn't give specifics. I thought I could use independent testing because some of these companies have done independent testing on their power outputs, but then the issue is Do I trust that independent testing because it was paid for by that manufacturer and then other panels haven't done independent testing So then I'm like, well, what do I do there? so I didn't really know what to do and Especially because I have this device. It's a spectrometer that measures wavelength flicker and also power irradiance From light so I can turn it on right now and see the radiance from the light bulb with the sun outside With a fireplace for instance, which I've done by the way Alex figures comm you'll see a Article when and also on my Instagram Alex figures underscore coach. I've put a lot of these interesting photos up So, um Given I have this very expensive device and I have these panels and I want to test this thing called power irradiance What do I do? And then I had a thought Rather than testing at a distance why not test it right at the source in fact right on the LED Now the cool thing about this panel is the sensor So if you can see this here The big round thing here It's not focusing is pretty much the exact size of these LEDs Well the LED case in whatever you want to call it. It's about a centimeter just over a centimeter white And I thought you know what why not test right at the source now I don't know how accurate this is okay, but it's gonna be the most accurate way that I can get a standardized Experiment I guess a standardized number that I can compare across all the panels Because like I said, there's too many issues if I measure at a distance It's just not fair for this Comparison to do that because of the treatment area Another thing I didn't mention some of these panels and this this isn't a great thing But some of these panels may have what's called hotspots. So for instance those the way the LEDs have been Layed out and with the beam angles there may be overlaps. So there may be an area where one point is Double triple the power in it's then a centimeter or two to the side of that and that's because the beam Crossover and focus and that's what the hotspots are and I've noticed this Well, I've tested six inches and then all of a sudden the numbers rise and then drop off And I thought it was the machine realize now it's things like hotspots So that's not great. I mean, ideally you'd want a nice even flint But that's very very hard to manufacture. In fact, even if you did It's only going to be balanced at certain Focus points as soon distances. So for instance the manufacturer might focus it all in so you get a nice even balance spread at Six inches, but then if you go to seven inches or eight inches, you lose all that Again, it is very missy I guess the only way you can test this is to spend lots of money and get them all independently tested but even then I don't know how they're testing it because you have to test the whole area and Another thing is let's say that has a really wide treatment area and you're standing to read therapy We know that it had high MF levels at six inches So you want to stand at eight inches or ten inches and it might have a really wide treatment area And by the way, I don't know if this is the case. I'm just putting this out there for for Analogy so you can understand what I'm getting it here If there's a really wide treatment area and you're at eight inches You might not be getting half of that light. It might be missing you might be going past you in which case The total power the treatment area the jewels produced You're not you know, it's actually absorbing that right, you know, it's you're not benefiting You know giving the benefits of that light the only way I could really measure this in a safe like standardized way would be if it was a Laser or one LED and you measure that But that's not the case. So what I'm gonna do Because I want to know the power level because you guys want to know what is the most powerful panel Actually, that's another point. Sorry But I'm making an assumption here that more power is bitter and there may not be the case There may be too much power Um, it may be that the body has a therapeutic effect at a low power. I don't know I'm not getting into that now. Oh, I know some stuff and again I've covered that in the article, but that's not the point of this review The review is just to put all the numbers out there and then you can make an informed decision And I'm gonna score it in the process because it's a bit of fun and it's just some excitement So, you know lots of uncertainties and that's why I've decided I'm gonna measure right at the source And I'm gonna do two measurements all these panels do both the red light and near for red light most of them do 660 and 850 660 for the red 850 for the near for it Some of the panels do a little bit of a wider spectrum. So the Platinum LED for instance, we're gonna get to wavelengths later on But what I'm gonna do is you can select between the red light showing and the near for it And that's possible for all these panels So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna turn the red light one on test the red light get a read in there Turn that off to the near infrared light on and test the near infrared LEDs, and I'm gonna get a power Simple as that and my body is quelling but more so I'm gonna get into this and Hang tight and take all these numbers crunch the data, and I'll be back here soon with an overview That is done that took me a good hour or so to get all those results, but I have them all and the results were Quite interesting. We've definitely got it a big spread on the numbers here And I simply gonna shake the field up of it. So let's get into them. We'll start on my right here with the Mito-red mitomex So what do we have there for? The red light so we're gonna break this down into red light and in there for it Let's do the red light first, and then we'll come back into the never so for red light There and these ratings are in milli watts per centimeter squared. Okay, which is like the standard sort of power Radiance measurement Mito-red mitomex I'm gonna make sure I'm looking at the right column here 289, which is good. Remember, that's at the source. That's a solid number So so many numbers here to look at this top red therapy red rush 720 294 so a little bit higher, but similar And I should say there is a bit of fluctuation with the numbers, you know probably plus or minus 10 or so I try to get a pretty good average. I keep the settings on the device the same as well Again, it's not gonna be perfect. This isn't a scientific experiment It's just meant to give you a rough idea of you know power levels and stuff, right? So if it and the third one was the one behind me the mito HQ mito panel that was 275 so slightly lower than the other two next we have the platinum biomex 600 that came in at 391 So that's like a hundred units higher than the other others, which is which is good That was a big jump up next we have the juve Juve social. I don't know why I keep saying social It's because it's the Instagram handle guess I'm tagging them a lot. Huh, uh, juve solo they came in at 655 no, that's not the wavelength That's the intensity that is huge like that's massive I mean that's double than those other ones and that's still a fair feel a lot higher than um, the 391 on the biomex So crazy and then red light rising Came in rock bottom and by a decent amount as well. They were 163 so yeah quite quite a big difference between these two in particular The spread there the lowest is 163 right up to 655 so um rankings top to bottom Juve first place by far second place was the biomex the platinum Third place was the red therapy this one fourth place the minor red fifth place the minor HQ the black one and Then I really need to be standing and have a pointer for this don't know Actually sitting on the floor um and then a last place was red light rising. So that's red I Jotted down the peak When do we do wavelengths? I jotted down the peak Wavelengths for each unit. I don't even know when we're doing wavelengths.  All right, and then um Let's look at them for it. My turn my name acts for the near infrared Now where am I again? Here we go 193 so all these numbers were a lot less than the red light in terms of intensity I guess there's more intensity coming from the red light, you know 193 Red therapy 183 so might have read put red therapy this time round might OHQ 145 Platinum LED biomex 600 now This number was a little bit tricky to calculate wasn't tricky But I had to run some math there because they use three different wavelengths for their Nairnford they use I Don't have the numbers in front of me 850 830 and 18. I think it was It's on my site. I'll public or we'll get wavelength soon anyway. So I wasn't too sure how they did that I didn't know if the one LED was Designed in a way where it would emit quite a wide range And then somehow there was more power going the other that's what I thought it would be But it wasn't because as I measured different LEDs I did that with all of them just to make sure there were no hard differences with discrepancies I noticed some were had much different or had very different peak Wavelength output and that's when I realized every like six or seventh LED was a different type I mean it was never read, but it was a different wavelength So I know the percentage makeup of each wavelength based on the manufacturer stats So I took all the readings and I calculated a weighted average So this score was and it's the highest so far 276 which is decent. It's a hundred units higher than the other panel so far Juve which had the top red light scope score by a big margin also has the top near infrared score by a big margin 436 heart crazies out. That's that's huge So we've seen compared to you know the mito HQ 145 Red therapy 183 crazy, and then the red light rising 163 which is exactly the same as the Red light with intensity. I triple check that because I was like this is beyond the coincidence Especially when all the others had much higher red light and they're lower than infrared But no that was a number. So anyway, let's do the rankings from last to first this time mito HQ in sixth place red light rising in fifth place red therapy in fourth, mito red max in third and then again Platinum and second and Juve So let's do a total score for the irradiance section Let's go from bottom up and fifth equal we had the mito HQ with 11 points and the red light rising on 11 points because they were fifth and sixth respectively for the two different categories So 11 points each there remember Lower is better for the points And then we jump up to 232 there were two on its two panels on seven points We had the mito max and the red therapy the two over there both on seven points and Then in second place the platinum on four points and then first place coming out number one and both sections was the Juve So crazy, huh? That's a big spread. I was really surprised with this spread there of numbers. I mean Juve is way up Everyone else was kind of in the middle and then red light rising mito HQ as well I guess a little bit no really like rising down the bottom everyone else reasonably close Actually, no, you know what? They're all over the place All over the place you can look at the numbers Alex figures.com will be posting all these numbers You probably see them if my video editor Dave He's amazing with all that with all the editing skills here So I'm sure he's polished these up and made something cool and maybe you can see all the numbers But anyway, I'll be publishing everything including photographs of the readings as well So you can go in and check them for yourself and you can read you this experiment if you want Anyway, so let's do a total. Let's check the table for the total Whoever I'm sitting after what are we three rounds now? So we come up to the halfway point. All right From the last to first and last place we have the mito HQ Mitopanel with 24 points remember the lower the score the better in fifth place We have the red light rising And they were on fourth place previously so they've dropped down a spot they Have sorry 23 points. Okay. What do we got next in fourth place? Who have come up one spot here read therapy and they were fifth and now they're into fourth and Third place and these guys have dropped a spot 16 points was the mito read so they were second and now they're down to third and Now for first equal it's a tiebreaker so far Platinum and juice They're both on 12 points each crazy very crazy. So do for instance with third after the previous round and Platinum were first on their own. So do have jumped up big time and It's gonna be interesting as we go into the next round. So in the next round. We're gonna do flicker and sound levels Then we're gonna do size LED and wavelength. I'm not gonna score on size because I Don't know if there's a better or worse and the thing is You could have a bigger panel, but maybe the LEDs are more spaced out and again This gets triggered with beam angle and all that so I'm not gonna score on that I am gonna score on LED count though and the wavelength and then we have the warranty and other features and then finally we have the wrap up so Hope you're enjoying this Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already see your alerts as well if you're on YouTube because I'm gonna be releasing these other sections other rounds and they're coming days Follow me on Instagram because I got heaps of cool stuff going up on over there More behind the scenes and more insights and interesting features as I do all these tests I'm gonna be publishing them all there and Alex for your comm You can subscribe to my newsletter. I've got heaps of reviews like in-depth one-on-one reviews In-depth reviews on on these panels I've got a lot of articles on red light therapy If you don't know why I'm spending all this time and excited by reviewing these panels here Check out my article everything you need to know about red light therapy because it is Pretty cool. I mean it's amazing like the health benefits of this stuff I got discount codes on all of these panels Discount code is alex al ex it will knock anything from 10% Write down to 0% what I mean by 0% if you don't do discounts instead You get a free gift you get a book or a supplement, but you have to use promo code alex All right, so um, take that out if you want to buy any of the other ones, you know plug in Alex and you'll Get a discount Pricing I covered in the first round to go back and watch that if you want to But if you want to wait until I come up with the overall winner You're gonna have to hang around for another week or so Leave comments questions feedback and I'm probably gonna get to work for the next recording the next one now So wish me luck speak soon. Bye


The Interpol Company of Wilmington, Delaware, makers of better things for better living through chemistry, presents the Cavalcade of America. Our story, a short straw. Our star, Irene Gunn. A short straw. A strange title. It's just muck, chance, fate. And fate it is in our drama tonight. A drama of sheer chance. The short straw. Our story begins in the Philippines. The winter of Burl Harbor. Gap troops swarming ashore on northern Luzon. The slowest doll of our troops toward Baton. This is a true story. The story of a woman, the first member of the United States Naval Service to receive the Legion of Merit Award. The story of nurse Ann Bernatitis, United States Navy. It was the day of Christmas Eve, 1941. Manila, an open city. All military personnel ordered evacuating. It piled into an old school bus. The nurses inducted the surgical unit number five. And we were off to Lamar, a little town on the can. I don't know what the situation will be at Lamar, Ann. We're going to have to make do with what we find. Oh, well, we'll manage all right, Dr. Moore. I'm sure we will. You've got me puzzled. Did you ever hear of a military hospital at Lamar? No, I didn't even know we had one there. I supposed to have one there. One thousand bed hospitals, I'll say my orders. Oh, this is jungle.  We need sick and perspiring. Give me the creeps. This is it. Am I the biggest in a one-horse town out of ten? Everybody out. Oh, boy, boy, you're sick. There's a hospital. There's nothing here but some old warehouses. It's got around, Ann. I want to check the supply truck. Right, Dr. The sound of those guns can't just be in here before morning. Lamar found it on Manila Bay, just one muddy street crowded with refugees. Some in Calais, the cars, but most on foot.  I pushed my way through the crowd to what seemed of office in one of the ramshackle warehouses. I'm Jones, Corporal Jones. What can I do for you? I'm Ann Burnett-Hiders. Surgical unit number five. Where's the hospital, Corporal? Don't look now, but you're in it. Here? In this warehouse? Sure. Come back here. I'll show you. Huh? Take a look. A whole thousand bed hospital in place. Bed tables for whole weeks. Oh, Grace. Corporal, how many men do you have with you here? Just about a company. The rest of the outfits have been moved up north into the line. All right.  Find as many natives as you can to help. And women, too. They can help scrub this place down. Ann? Ann, where are you? I'm back here, Dr. Moore. Ann, the casualties are coming in. It's one serious case. A little Filipino boy, badly burned, needs surgery immediately. Corporal, that's Grace in there. It's marked operating table. Break it out. Margaret, dear. Margaret, dear. All right, Sunny. It's all right. I brought you some coffee. I will guarantee nothing but that it's hot. The kid's coming. I'm still in a coma, but thank you for pulling out of it. This is hot, but it's good. Drink up. You need it. You know what? I can't figure something out, ma'am. A miss, a miss, miss. Well, the other nurses are on you.  Doesn't figure. Well, blame it on a short straw. A short straw? I don't get it. Well, I was at the Navy Hospital of Canakow, and we had some patients be evacuated to Army Hospital in Manila. Well, head nurse had us draw straws for the missing. I caught the short one. Simple as that. I see. I want to have those others and they can have it. If they got away. I heard over the radio that the Jeff... Hello, please. Uh-oh. Hello. Well, hello, please. Well, if it isn't our patients. Hello. I got burned. Your hand. How I fight Jeff's mouth. Take it easy. Tell me how I fight Jeff's. Easy, kid. How I fight Jeff's mouth. Now, now, now, now, now. What's your name? What's your name? Felipe.  And you've proved that already. You can still fight for Jeff. Huh? You tell me how. Well, you can fight without guns, Felipe. You can fight with your heart and your face. Don't, don't understand that. You can teach others to be as brave as you are. You can help them help you. Only guns stop Jeff's.  It's the people behind the gun. People like you, Felipe. Wonderful little people with tremendous courage. All the time, the rumble of the gun through close-ups. We literally worked our hearts out setting up that hospital. And the last time that it takes to tell every cop, every table, and every cabinet was uncrated and washed down. Surgical unit number five, more. Yeah. All right, yes. Corporal. Yes, sir? Where's Mrs. Linnokitis? I saw her in the ward when I commenced her. And? Yes, Dr. Moore. Just had orders on the phone. We have to pull out. Evacuate? Uh-huh. Oh, no, we've just gotten set up here. Where to now? The whole line is pulling back. We're on to a place called Little Bargeo. Maybe we can catch our breath there. Everything we did at Lamar, we did over again at Little Bargeo. Hospital lords sprang up in the midst of a jungle. No shed became an operating room. A garage shed became a kitchen. And always, all day, all night, the wounded were brought home. Little Barge. Yes, sir? Let's have a hand here. Right. And take over. Be careful, be careful. They're getting those men out. Yes, ma'am. Here, wait a minute, wait a minute. Carry this boy directly to surgery. That's him there. Yes, ma'am. Hey, Jimmy. And this man. Put him in ward beam. Easy there, soldier. Let me help you out. Thanks. Miss. You feel all right? Yeah. Just a chunk of scrap iron on my shoulder. Look after the others. Got to take a rest. Sure, here. Press the pad. Thanks. Would you mind lighting one? No. You've got a dirty face. Oh, mercy me. What will the neighbors think? You feel you're all right? Sure. Just to be sure, let me have a look at that. Look, Miss, you've got a more important business. I'll wait my turn. I remember we built a platform on a tree high enough to look out into the bay. Whenever we had a breathing spell, we'd climb up and search the horizon for some sign of ships. A dab of smoke on the horizon. Corporal Jones was up there one day with Philippe, and I was there too. I was waiting for the brownies to win a pen of watches for those ships. But this ain't never going to happen. Well, East is peaceful up here. It's like a Sunday back home. Where's home? Pennsylvania. A place called Exeter ever here of it? Nope. Me too. You too, what? Me too, nope. Exeter's a nice little old, can-I-be town. Take the airway. Let's get down from here. Quick, come on.  Don't worry about me, Jones. Help Philippe. Okay, come on. I'm all right. Look, look. There they are. Stop playing. Come on, come on. I've got to get to the hospital. Hey, wait! Under the bed. Hurry! Yes, sir. I'm sorry, soldier. This may hurt you a little. I've got to get you under the bed. Okay. Just put your arm around my shoulder. That's it. That does hold on. Just a minute. Just a minute. Thanks a million. Corbin, up those other men. That's him. Yes, sir. The plane's coming back. We need to get out of here. Please. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Get out of here, police. Get in the cellar. Please, be quiet. I tell you, don't worry about me.  Get in the cellar. Get in the back. Get out of here. Just where I lie back. You're crazy. You're crazy. I'm so straight. With the bombing of the hospital at Little Bargill, the last act of the drama of the Candigan, each by each, our men were forced to give way. Poor and tired men screened past the hospital in ever-mounting numbers. Find this homey order for your back joint, please. Leave everything else for the instrument, ma'am. We'll need them. Yes, Doctor Moore. Cormans? Yes, ma'am. The men in this ward can be moved into ambulances. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Oh, Philippe. I'd come and say goodbye. What's going to happen to you, Philippe? Where will you go? Oh, I'm going to Hill. I fight jacks. Why hell only but I fight good. I know you'll fight good. Where are you going to? To the rock. To the one place that jacks will never take. We're going to Corregidor. To the DuPont Cavalcade of America, starring Irene Dunn, and our Bill Hamilton's Beacon for the DuPont Company. I'm on the list of things that affect children's health is tooth decay. Even today, it affects 98 out of every 100. And now, during National Children's Dental Health Week, it's a good time to do something about it. Part of the answer is preventive dentistry, proper diet and brushing, regular visits to your dentist. Among the scientific tools your dentist uses to safeguard your health are X-ray examination.  DuPont Dental X-ray Film, for instance, is designed for faster exposures. It's less affected by movements of the patient. That's why it's so suitable for examinations of children's teeth. Along with other DuPont X-ray products, DuPont Dental Film contributes to better health as one of the DuPont Company's better things for better living through chemistry. Now, we return to our Cavalcade story, the short straw, starring Irene Dunn as the Navy nurse and Bernadette. Those of us who were there will never forget the night of April 8th and 9th. We were huddled into barges, launches, anything that could float under the fire of Japanese guns. We settled across to Corregidor, through the rock. Corregidor looked like heaven to us. They even had electric lights. But the lights illuminated seeing the penchant and anguish is 11,000 men and women damned underground. All their force, that's what the men left on the pan, still fighting, still holding on. And there's no more room in the wards. He'll have to lie in the new places up in his corridor. All right, get the orderly to put up cops right along this way. Another convoy wounded is coming in. We'll start using the next lasso. Attention, please. Hold it, hold it, please. It is the commanding general. The spirit that made it stand, a beacon to our liberty-loving people of the world, cannot fall. Our prayers are with the men we left behind. Oh, poor boy. What happened to him now? I don't know. No one knows. Hello there. Hi, Miss. How's the arm? Oh, it'll go. What's got me is trying to breed the worn-out fog there pumping into this tunnel. Well, now after what we went through across the way isn't this place a sort of heaven? Miss, heaven can't be a whole dug underground. Heaven is a mess room on a cruiser with a child-eyed moving bag. You're amazing. You'll bet. So am I. No kidding, Navy nurses? Yes. But I thought all the Navy nurses were caught in Manila all in turn filibub prudence. Oh, no. I mean, none of them got away. Now that I heard them. Oh, no. Okay, stand aside here. Oh, yes, of course. Easy now. Let him down. It's caught through the downs. Yes, Miss. You got any hospitals over here you want to uncreate? Oh. Yes, doctor? We can take him to the ward now. Yes, sir. All right, Jimmy. Give me your hand here, will you? You think you'll be all right. I don't know. I hope so. I'm so tired I don't know my own name. Pretty good me telling you that. How long has it been since you had some sleep, Ann? Oh, I seem to remember a couple of our sleep yesterday. The day before. I'm not sure. You're terrific. Terrific. Doctor, I'm one of the lucky ones and I know it. Like some of the Army nurses who came over with me have been at it for a week working right through. And Rosemary Hogan, Rita Palmer, badly wounded. Some of the girls never did get off the tan. Where are they now? And all the Navy nurses I worked with at Cannacal all interned by the death. Don't throw any poses at me, doctor. I drew the short straw. You know what I heard today, Ms. Burns-Titan? I don't think you ought to talk so much, Jonesy. I like to talk. I heard some scuttlebutt. About what? You. Now what did you hear? You're going home. You're delirious. No, that makes sense. This place can't hold up forever.  You're talking too much. That's what they should do. There's ain't no place for a woman. No, no, no. You listen to me. Ever since I joined the Navy, nobody's ever asked me where I wanted to go and nobody ever will. I follow orders. But even if I had a choice, there's no place I'd rather be at this minute than here. Right here on this rock. All I've ever learned, I learned for this. And for what I can do here in Corregidor. And that's true for every other nurse on the island. Yeah. But anyhow, I guess I'll ask you. What is it? If you should be going. Did you drop them and say goodbye? Hmm? I think I wouldn't. Get to sleep. It was later that night in the nurse's quarters. Look what it says in this paper. What does it say in the paper as if I didn't know having read it from front to back fifteen times the last two weeks? It says hemlines are going up this year. So what? I wonder if that applies to dungarees. Don't laugh at some serious matter. Imagine showing up at Lady Bittlesmith's in last year's dungarees. Attention, please. Attention, please. All nurses that are appalled to the mess hall at once. Repeat. All nurses to the mess hall at once. I wonder what's up in? Well, it's not an invitation to Lady Bittlesmith's ball. That's for sure. Let's go and find out. I understand. You're to have your gear packed and be at the assembly point at 2100. Any questions? How much can we take with us, sir? As little as possible. Wait, won't matter. Bulk will.  I want to read you a portion of a message I've just received from General George C. Marshall. I request that you convey the special commendations and gratitude of the War Department to the nurses on Corregidor, whose service is a source of inspiration to all of us. Sign, General George C. Marshall. And now you are leaving us. Do one thing for me. When you get home, tell them how it is back here. Tell them we are waiting. That's all. Good luck and God bless you. I won't leave. I'm not going to go. Somebody's got to stay here with his men. Listen to me, Jenny. None of us wants to leave, but we've got our orders. It's not our job to ask questions. Not our job to get emotional. They're taking us off because we'll be needed somewhere else. How do you think they're taking us off by plane? I don't know. He said that wait doesn't matter, but Bulk did. I guess it's submarine. Submarine? Oh, gee him. Say, do me a favor. Take my things with you to the assembly point. Well, wait a minute, Anne. We're due there in 15 minutes. Well, I'll be there. But you can't. I'll be there. But where are you going? Keep a promise. Orderly. Yes, Miss? Where's Corporal Jones? His bed is empty. I'm sorry, Miss, but he passed away an hour ago. Oh, no. Awful, nice guy. Yes, by Jonesy. A Navy launch took us out to sea towards a rendezvous point somewhere beyond the minefield. I'll never forget that ride. We just reached the rendezvous point when Jeff Searchlight brought us in their glare. In a minute shelled what pounded all around us. Time to go back. No, Shep will ride through this, shall he? Full of stains. Now, now hold it. Look there. It's a stop. Scrambled onto the deck of the submarine. Literally pushed down the ladder into the control room. The hatches were slammed down. Take it down. All ahead full. Level off. Periscope depth. Sorry for the rush-hack, ladies. You understand. I'll check for her to see if your bunks are ready. Glad to have you aboard. Glad to be aboard. October 14, 1943. The President of the United States approves the award of the first Legion of Merit granted to a member of the United States Naval Service. The citation... Lieutenant Ann Agnes Bernatitis for exceptionally meritorious conduct as a member of surgical unit number five during the bombing of the Philippine Islands by enemy Japanese forces. Constantly in the front lines of defense and on two separate occasions forced to evacuate to new positions after Japanese bombs had wrecked the surgical unit. Nurse Bernatitis courageously withstood the dangers and rigors of tropical combat, rendering efficient and devoted service during the tense days of prolonged siege and evacuation. This is Irene Dunn. I want to say that our cavalcade story of Ann Bernatitis is ended. But her story continues. Ann Bernatitis now has the rank of Commander United States Navy. She is stationed at the Naval Hospital in Newport, Rhode Island. Through her, we want to honor all the nurses of our armed services and to the nurses in civilian service whose lives may not have been as spectacular but surely are no less dedicated to healing in the immortal tradition of Florence Nightingale. Music Irene Dunn, the cavalcade players for tonight's true story. And now, Bill Hamilton speaking for the DuFont Company. A scientist in a modern paint laboratory really keeps his eye on the ball, literally. In DuPont's Marshall laboratory for paint research and development, there is a very simple testing device consisting of a little steel ball and a slanting piece of glass. A fresh coat of paint is put on the glass and the time it takes the ball to roll down the glass is recorded. Some paints let the ball roll all the way down. Others get tacky so quickly that they bring the ball to a dead stop. That paint wouldn't be so good if you had to touch up a section you had just painted. Although paint making is among the oldest of industries, the most far-reaching improvements have been introduced in recent years by research men. DuPont paint research led to Ducal Lacquer in 1923, helping to break a bottleneck in automobile production by providing quick drying finishes. And during the 30s, DuPont paint scientists developed a self-cleaning house paint. John Marshall, the DuPont scientist for whom the Marshall laboratory was named, was a pioneer investigator of man-made resin for use in quality paints. Today, the trend toward man-made ingredients continues. Now, resins, solvents, pigments, liquid latex ingredients, and many other synthetic products are giving us paints for lasting protection, as well as beauty. DuPont's new Sealer Coater, which primes and seals at the same time, is an example of this type of development. It usually dries in less than two hours with a faint, pleasant aroma. Sealer Coater makes it easier for a homeowner to do a good job himself. In the field of paint, where more than 1,200 American manufacturers must compete for the consumer's favor, DuPont scientists continually strive to bring you better things for better living through chemistry. Tonight's DuPont cavalcade was written by Irv Tunick. Original music was composed by Arden Cornwell, conducted by Donald Boris. The program was directed by John Zoller. And this is Si Harris, reminding you to be with us next week, when the DuPont cavalcade will present Operation Miracle, the story of United States Navy salvage experts in World War II. Our star, Robert Preston. Ladies and gentlemen, the Hart Fund already has given support to medical progress that is saving many, many lives. More, much more has yet to be accomplished. You can speed the fight by giving to the 1953 Hart Fund. Send your contribution to Hart, A-T-A-R-T, care of your local post office. Help your Hart Fund, help your Hart. The DuPont cavalcade of America came to you from the Velasco Theater in New York City and is sponsored by the DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware. Makers of better things for better living through chemistry. The preceding was transcribed. Next, it's Dean Martin and Gerald Lewis on NBC.


I had an idea for an experimental game jam. Are you familiar with the Exquisite Corpse artist exercise that people do? It's where you take a piece of paper, maybe you fold it into three or four different sections, and one artist starts drawing. At the top you can see there are two folds, fold lines, to make three sections in this photo by Alan Levine of an example. Person started drawing the head, and then they draw some lines that connect to the next segment of paper. Then that person draws, and they don't necessarily see the other part. And then they draw lines that connect and the other person finishes drawing it, and you end up with these really funny, strange, silly drawings that you would never come up with on your own. Oftentimes you'll see monsters created or the art styles will change wildly. It's a really fun way to be creative and collaborate. So I thought, what if game developers did this with a video game? Well, everyone would need to know the engine well so that they could contribute in some way, but designers, artists, musicians, programmers, etc. could all participate because a game needs all of those parts. I kept wondering what would happen? Would it be complete chaos? Would it be a person goes one week, and then they hand it off the next week, and then that person totally subverts it? Would the genre of the game change? I was so curious to see what would happen. So I reached out to the Dragon Ruby Game Toolkit community, a game engine that I've used, and 13 people, including myself, signed up to participate. And the structure we did was this. Everyone gets one week with the game, the week starts on Friday and ends on Friday, so people get a weekend at least to work on it, and it started at the beginning of the new year. We called it the exquisite core, a punny joke on exquisite corpse, kind of like contra-hardcore and that sort of thing. Everyone hated the name because core spelled like that looks a lot like corpse, and drove everyone nuts. So I kicked it off first on December 31st, 2023, and you can see my progress here. I've selected a few different weeks of progress to show in broad strokes how the game progressed, but you can see that I started with a simple top-down shooter. I was going for like vampire survivors, but a little more active, where you actually have to shoot instead of just walking around. And I'm going to scrub forward a little bit in the video, except I just messed it up. I think we're back to my week. So I'll scrub forward, and you can see that you collect these experience chips, and you power up with each new level you reach. So like I'll reach a new level here in a second, and that little spinning triangle I called a familiar, and then a second familiar spawns, and towards the end of my week I added these super enemies, which are green, and then I added the kings, which are those purple enemies, and it was just like a sort of hectic action shooter is what I started with. And so then we handed it off, a couple people went, and they took that and added procedural level generation, the next two people. So this is week three we're looking at here, and you see there's a mini map, we saw the level generating, we've got the core gameplay here, but now we have rooms generating in the walls, and you know, the game starting to shift and morph, where it's no longer this sort of vampire survivors direction I was heading, and it's now more of like a maze survival game. And then what happened is we got a few more routes forward, someone added a spider with creepy leg walking, that has this sort of physics where the player moves, and the player, which was before a hexagon, has been replaced with a spider with a gun on its top, like a sort of spider tank, with real slow intentional movement, and then another person added cards. So instead of your weapons just getting when you level up, you have these cards that you can catch, and we'll see some more card usage in a future week. So now we've moved forward a bit, someone iterated on the UI, let me go back, I messed that up. Working with video in this slide is kind of hard. Yeah, so there's UI here, sorry the video scrubbing is like in the way. But there's UI now, and quite a bit of polish. Person changed the enemies out for ladybug sprites, which gives it a more creepy insect vibe I'd say, and instead of just progressing through the level, there's now multiple levels with different generation, and you see up there, that's an exit to go to the next floor. So you need to collect the key to then proceed to the next floor. And so it's starting to shape up, we've got procedural generation, we've got action, the large enemies changed, then finally this is towards the end of it, we've got much faster movement for the player, and there's a sprint button, the UI has changed a bit, there's some various polish, I'll fast forward, here's the cards in action, I sure wish that I could get this scrubbing bar to go away. But yeah, you can see someone made it so that the shots bounce and you can use the different cards. Let me see if I can get that scrubbing bar to go away. No, I can't. Well, so that's where this ended, was 13 weeks later, 13 participants later, we've got this game where you're this spider progressing through procedurally generated levels, trying to survive, getting experience, getting power ups, changing your cards, there are bombs that you can drop. Let me try to get to those. Actually, I'll show those at the end, I've got a trailer I made. We also landed on a name, which was kind of hard, right? When you have 13 people coming to consensus is challenging, but we landed on a name called Robo Spider Reckoning, because we thought it fit the sort of cheesy B movie vibe from the game that we were going for. And here are my takeaways from doing the project. It was a lot of fun, it was so cool to see how it evolved. It wasn't as chaotic as I thought, and maybe this would change depending on who's participating, but I was like kind of expecting it to be like a bunch of different random game genres being thrown into a game to try to basically prank the past people and future people, but really what happened is people just took the game and moved it forward in a really respectful, thoughtful way and continued to make the game better. If you're going to make it open source, I'd say decide on it in advance. We decided at the end that we will open source it, but I just wish going in we decided at the beginning, so I'm going to have to figure it out at the end. And as you're participating, or as you're putting on an exercise like this, just see where it goes. You could experiment, you could say each person gets a day with it, you could do each person gets a week. Really it's up to however you want to do it. A takeaway I had too is that early code patterns and early game design decisions were really foundational, so like I made it a shooter at the beginning and then that sort of stayed out throughout the whole game. No one like took it and kind of just like subverted that. And one of the rules we did have was, you know, keep moving it forward. Don't just like delete something that someone added, sort of like improv rule of yes and don't just like take what someone did and rip it out. So I think that's, you know, sort of related is. Yeah, you see these, I don't, these things move through also coding it. I started by not using any objects. I was just coding in a functional style. And this really like, this was, I was trying out something new and experimenting and it, you know, then each week someone pick it up and be like, why isn't this using object-oriented programming? And that was a takeaway for me.  And it's a challenging exercise for absolute beginners to participate in because if you're not familiar with coding, it's really hard to jump into a code base that other people have established and contribute to it. So that's just something to consider. Like as an artist, you could contribute and as a musician, you could add things in. But if you have like 13 programmers of different skill levels participating, and it went much better than I was thinking it would, like everyone was able to contribute meaningfully. But, you know, that's just something to consider is jumping into another person's code base and then learning it and contributing it to it is quite difficult. And that's just something I was reflecting on the entire exercise. So here's a trailer that I threw together that I think captures the evolution in a more concise way. So there is the bomb and, you know, I've thought of this whole thing as a big experiment. We'll see how it goes. Each developer gets one week with the same game. And this is showing the end of the game. There were no rules, no prompts, except the whole, like, continue moving it forward in the spirit of those who came before you. You don't like tear things out, but, you know, you could add things. And here we'll see how it evolves, right? Much like I showed in longer form here. We've got my first week where, you know, the simple game and then people introduce the map. And while we're going through this, I want to thank everyone who participated. So we have Jay Donnelly, Kevin Fisher, Seth, Kota, Mark, Hero, Vlevo, F-3R, Papa Crug, Lwampa, Levi, and Magi. So those, including myself, are the 13 of us who decided let's try this out and see what happens. I hope everyone had fun and it seemed like they did. It's so cool to see it evolve and change and play it and to then each week come back and have fun with it and play the game again. And then finally see where it landed was really, really cool. And glad to have organized it and put this together. So that's RoboSpider Reckoning. We'll let this trailer run out and then I'll just show the game in Chrome and play it a little bit to show it off. Something funny is that like the big enemies get caught on the corners and no one really fixed that. So it's a good strategy to fight those big enemies is get them caught on the corner and kind of shoot them out. And there's those bombs again, which is a really cool weapon. And all those card juice mana, which is the blue bar. And at first you don't regenerate them. So, but eventually you level up it starts to regenerate itself. So you can play it on itch and that's where I'll open it up in the browser and we'll go ahead and play it. It's also open source. So source code's on GitHub. If there's anything you're curious about how it's done or how it was structured, you can check that out there. So let's go over to my browser and we'll zoom in a bit. It's at dragonriders.unite.itch.io slash RoboSpider dash reckoning. I'll put a link in the description and let's go ahead and run it. You can change the difficulty here. I don't know what they do. I just love the name grandma's house for the difficulty. I think that's hilarious. And yeah, we'll start it. I'm going to make it full screen. So the basic controls are WASD move, J's shoot and game pads work too. M pulls up the minimap and you can see that blue dot over in the bottom right. That's where our key is going to be. So we'll get the key and then we'll find the door. Okay. So the door is now in the upper left and we have to find a way to get there. The way the spider moves and the little that the feet make are just such a nice touch, I think. And yeah, the bouncing bullets is hilarious.  Now I've got a new weapon here. I called this the familiar in the code. I don't know how everyone else is referring to it, but you can spawn them and they spin around you. Yeah, we'll just sit there and take that out. You can sprint with the K button and L and H switch your cards. There's also a healing spell. And yeah, look, the RNG gods were in our favor. The cube is right there. So let's see what we've got. You can also change spells with E and Q, which is helpful. Gotta love the corners. Oh no, I ran out of mana. I died. Let's replay again and see if we can get a little further because there are some really cool power-ups. Something interesting is that no one added music. I was... Yeah, it's just because I know that there are some... I don't know if anyone was musical, actually. But ran out of mana. I guess my best option is to just go a different route.  So there's a sort of strategy there, too. Let's see. Can we get here? Yeah. All right. All right. Let's go. Let's spawn a couple of these. And now that I'm level two, my mana is regenerating a little bit. You can see that slowly, which is really helpful. Because oh my god, he's getting close. And I got a heal. You have to hold some of the cards to trigger them. Oh, I'm going in the way wrong direction. There's also a way to flip the turret, but I can't remember what it is. Oh, it's F. So if you press the F key, the turret does a 180-degree rotation, which is really helpful. Okay, let's heal this. And let's just take a beeline to the door. We're really close to leveling up. You can see down on the bottom, there's an experience bar. So that when you level up, I'm pretty sure you get new abilities. Who knows what the difficulties do? I'm a little scared. During the development process, it was like, oh, nice. I leveled up. I've got tri-shot. The game was so hard. Like I would have to record video demos for each week so that it was really easy to show to the person taking the project on how the game progressed without having to check out all the past versions in Git. So I recorded all these demos and I just could barely progress. So I think the game's grandma's house is a bit easier. And I'm all for grandma's house. These big bugs have a ton of health. Oh my gosh. Yeah, look at all the XP. Let's spawn some of these. And we'll heal a bit. Yeah, I feel like pretty quickly you get overpowered with all these familiars. And then the mana regen, it's like, you're pretty strong. Let's keep going until I die. I'm having a good run. We'll just keep healing. I think I've beaten the game. So there is a way to beat it. I think it's maybe level 10 is, wow, that was really in my favor. I also, you get, oh yeah, we got it. We have bombs. So this new weapon is a bomb and we'll, oh, I just dropped it.  So there's a little bit of buggyness, but that's okay. You know, there's going to be bugs. This is, the whole spirit of this is to have fun and not to make a perfect game or a super polished game, but instead move it forward. And there's the door. So, and we've got the key. I'm, I'm having a good run. All right, level eight. Also, one of the members wrote a story, which is on the itch page. So you can read the story, which is super fun. I'm like getting real easy RNG right now. I'll take it because for 13 weeks, I've been getting my butt kicked. So, okay, there's a big boss over there. Big boss is really hard to kill. We'll use a bomb to help with us there. Oh, I could just leave. I think I have the key. Let's, I don't know what that boss even does, to be honest. We'll shoot some shots down there to, I think if you just run into it, it kills you. I actually know that for a fact because I, I did it when making the trailer. Let's just run away. Hey, you win. I was level six, destroyed 49 enemies on the difficulty grandma's house. So hopefully if you, you're interested, you check it out. It was such a fun experiment and experience. And thanks again, everyone who participated. And that's it for rolo spider reckoning, aka exquisite core. Try it yourself. If you got people that might be interested in it and have fun.


Armenian's attack embassy of Azerbaijan in Lebanon, Akku sends note to Beirut. About 50 people of Armenian descent, who held an action in front of the embassy of Azerbaijan in Lebanon, hit the fence around the embassy's administrative building and threw the bottles containing paint and explosives to the embassy's administrative building. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, the embassy staff was not injured in the attack. The ministry informed that as soon as the security body responsible for the protection of diplomatic missions was informed about the incident, the law enforcement agencies arrived at the scene, but at that time the provocateurs managed to leave the area in order to detect and arrest the criminals in connection with this attack on the embassy. A relevant note was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lebanon and related measures are being implemented. Currently, the security of the embassy has been strengthened and the investigation into the crime is underway. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan said.


We are having a state visit as well. We are going to be discussing issues of mutual benefit of our countries. We are speaking about agriculture. We are speaking about the interests in the Spanish language. So we can see if we can cause solutions to get closer to be a tri-lingual society where we speak Spanish, Creole and English. And we are also going to be discussing air travel and we are going to be discussing some aspects of agriculture. We are also going to celebrate Jean-Baptiste Bidot. Bidot was a solution who fought in Venezuela and he is revered in Venezuela. In fact, any time we speak about it, when I was here discussing that trip, the veterans reminded me about Jean-Baptiste Bidot. So there is a long issue in these two countries and we are going for one state visit and we return on that. It's a trip which the minister, the senior minister and the foreign affairs minister is going to be joining me and it's just to reaffirm our position of non-interference and the position of being friends to whoever we deem and protect our interests.


We are in Berlin at the fixed-point mobile drug-consumption unit and I'm talking to Sebastian who is a social worker and working for the Neukölln Drug-Consumption Mobile Unit or how do you say that? Can you just tell us more about this service and when it was started and what kind of people do you serve? Of course, we are located in Neukölln since 2021. We are close to the underground, the line U8, a very famous one and on this line we have a lot of people who use drugs. There's a park close to the station and it's a park where people use drugs. So can you talk us about what we want to see here? We see here a table, a seat. Here people can sit down and take the drugs. At first I have to wash their hands to show what they want to take, what drug they have to show us. It's forbidden to share the drugs but I have to use her own drugs. One of our major aims is HIV and hepatitis prevention among drug users. We want to have here a room for people to consume at a safe place without pressure and here we have the possibility to address the people with safer use information. We have a lot of stuff here, we have needles, we have water and here we have tiny, prepared kids. We give kids to the people, to the drug users and then it starts. And then the main drug is heroin, right? Yes, heroin and cocaine. They're shooting cocaine? Yes, they're shooting cocaine. On different places in the city you have the people prefer other substances. On one location more heroin, on the other location more cocaine. Is there a difference between who uses cocaine and who uses heroin? Is it maybe more rich or rich people use cocaine? No. If there is no difference? No, no, no difference, no. People who use this offering often homeless and the crack use increased over the last five, six years. And it's a new phenomenon in Berlin. In the future we hope we can provide a smoking possibility for crack users and for heroin users who want to smoke and don't inject. Fixport was founded in 1989 and we started with a vending machine project in Berlin. Now we have 19 vending machines in the whole city and in the 19s we get the first vans. And now we have two counseling vans and we have two drug consumption units and a medical vantu and yeah, we are growing. This is our counseling van. Here we have the possibility to take back savages. And here we have a little service area for coffee and tea. Here we can see the used stuff. When it's full we close it and bring it to a special place for this stuff. And normally the people are on the streets and we give it to the people, the needles and stuff. Here we have different needles, we have cooker, we have filters, escubines. We have everything you need for safe injection. Here you provide the testing also? We provide here the testing but normally we have another medical van so it's better prepared for this. But here we are testing too. It's forbidden here to inject, it's only possible in this other van. We have to go with two vans because we need a social worker when we want to run the service. Do you have blood on your hands? Yes, I don't. He can disinfect his hands. Here the social worker peers and in this van are nurses or medical staff and so we are working together.   We have a computer, we have a mobile, we try to support the people on the streets. Do we have underwear? Yes, we do. Do you want to go over there? How many clients do you serve? Here in this van located in Neukölln, maybe five to ten in four or five hours. It's not that much but often they repeat consumption. And you said that you want to make a smoking room? Yes. Would it be a different bus? No, it would be the same bus with a facility inside. The cabin? How the needs of the CREC users are different from the other users? Can you talk about that? Yes, the craving is high so they need a lot of consumption units and a lot of CREC users want to consume in a group and it's not possible here. It's not the best setting in the van for CREC users but we have no other opportunities. How many drug consumption rooms or buses are in Berlin? Only two. And it's only buses or there are fixed... No, we have fixed rooms, we have fixed facilities. Two in Mitte, two in Kreuzberg and one in Neukölln, fixed places. And if you could meet with Herr Scholz and ask something from him like what governments should do, what would you say to him? We need to decriminalize every substance and legalize all substances for the people because when they don't get arrested, when they have the opportunity without pressure to use the drugs it's the best way to have harm reduction intervention. But in Germany you can have a prescribed medical heroin, right? Yes. You have to take the morphine in the location, we have no possibility to take home. Do you think your clients also need medical heroin? We have a lot of substance for substitution and it's one important substance for the substitution treatment but we need all, the people have different needs so we need the whole range. Do you have any problems with the police? We have another view on the people, the police, there are conflicts of course but we try to manage the conflicts, we gave no names, no data to the police. And with the people who are living in non-drug user neighborhoods? Yes, it depends where you are. So in a current we have no huge problems but the people there have problems with needles in the parks. It's from the vending machine. Normally we have colored pumps and this model is from the vending machine. Here you can see somebody has to open it. If they use a counter inside the needle, it tries. Why? Because if they have access to it? Because they are hoping that in the filter it's heroin inside, you know? They use a trice. It's horrible. So they want to collect stuff from it. Yeah, exactly. So actually the final solution would be to give them heroin. Yes, that's the final solution. Exactly. And a home. Everybody is talking about healthcare offerings and services but the main thing is that the people need flat, they need meals. And then you have... Yeah, exactly. Do you include somehow the clients? Is there any user group or organization that represents the drug users? Yes, in Berlin we have Balloon, an NGO for drug use people from Washington speaking areas. And yes, it's a very good organization and we're working together. And we have, yes, Junkies, Ema Ege and so on. We have a group who mainly are political activists. Do you have Naloxone? Yes, we have Naloxone here because we have here medical staff and nurses. So it's allowed to have it here. Have you ever had overdoses? Of course, a lot. And you reversed that with Naloxone, right? Yes, it's the best opportunity to save life, to save the life of drug users. It's not the main goal to reduce the open drug scene in the public. It's an aim, it's one aim, but at first we are here for a healthcare service. We want people to be healthy and that they don't infect it with HIV and hepatitis. We want to save lives.


Good morning everybody JR Fisher here. It is what day is today? I got a look and see I think it's Wednesday It is no, it's Tuesday. Excuse me. I got the day wrong today's Tuesday the 20th of April 2021 and we're gonna have a fun sessions day guys cuz I'm really gonna kind of pull back the curtains I'm gonna reveal a real funnel that I'm building right now That's gonna go live probably the end of this week or beginning of next week It will generate probably six figures I think you're really gonna like it and I'm gonna give you all the little tricks that I use to make it super profitable If you haven't joined us before I do these live sessions in the morning to help you start running grow businesses Not selling you anything whatsoever. Just trying to help you out. I love to get your comments So do me a favor put your comments in that chat section. Let me know where you're from Let me know what the weather is. Let me know any questions you have but just participate. I will tell you Participation means so much guys for success. You've got to participate and you can start off Participating by hitting that subscribe button below right there. Hit that subscribe button and ring the bell Turn on all bell notifications. See your notified every time I go live or every time I upload a new video I'm gonna kind of get in depth today in this funnel, but I'm telling you guys if you do these things I'm telling you you will make a enormous amount of money from building a funnel when it's really not that hard It's just understanding that you got a mop up all the little leaks that you have in your funnel Everybody's got a bunch of leaks in their funnel and that's what I want to talk about today as those little leaks Because those are the things that really prevent you from making a lot of money now The first thing I guess I should do is talk about what a funnel is Basically a funnel is you start with a large group of people now a funnel could be you know You're doing PDF downloads where you're giving some people some free information You're getting them into the funnel a funnel could be you send out an email to your list Which is what type of funnel I'm going to talk about today. It's an email funnel And then you have to have a place to build this funnel guys I would wholeheartedly Recommend cartra. I went through a bunch of email providers. I think it was yesterday or Friday I came in which day I did it But you've got to have a good provider if you don't have a good provider Then of course you're not going to get good results. So you want to have a good provider So I'm going to tell you the best one for that is cartra K. A. R. T. R. A. Let me put this in here R. T. R. A. is the best email marketing software All right, we put that in there Now do me a favor and don't search it wait until this video is over with look in the Description below and in that description there's going to be a link to cartra when you click that link It will take you to a video you can watch a video on exactly what cartra does If you're interested in cartra, which you will be once you watch this What you need to do is you need to Click it and you can get a $1 trial I mean $1 so you can try it out all the bells and whistles everything you want and see how it works for you So please please do that. You know the other providers out there They seem cheaper, but they're really not and this one's going to give you so much more than a lot of the providers that are out there, so We know basically what a funnel is it's to get people into a I guess a pathway and narrow them down to we end up with a sale at the end So I'm going to talk about like I said my email one today now for years I've been building a list, but this doesn't mean that you can't apply this in your business If you don't have a big list, you know, you're just going to have to get traffic from Facebook or YouTube or you know, you're gonna have to run ads or whatever you're gonna have to get some people in there Okay, you got to get people in without people none of this stuff works so The first steps of the funnel are this you want to test You want to test you want to test? Okay? So the first thing we're gonna do in our file and this is going to be going out to a pretty large number of people But I don't want to send it out to everybody until I test the subject line And let me talk about a subject line real quick here a subject line is Something to get people to click and open your email. That's all a subject line is so if you are saying Exactly what's in your email in the subject line. It's costing you money right now It's costing you money. So don't do that. I don't say hey, it's 20% off women's dresses today Because if a woman doesn't want to dress she wants a shirt or she wants jeans or she wants a hat You know at the moment and keep in mind what you want is based on what you saw and heard at the moment, right? So if she's not in the frame of mind of buying a dress, she's not even gonna click on your email So you don't want to give up what's in the email in the subject line Don't do that what you want to do is just try to get them to open it Now some of the subject lines. I'm gonna be using our hey, this just happened You won't believe why I'm doing this or when you click on this a email You're gonna be shocked, you know So none of those headlines give up what's in the email and quite honestly all those headlines I just said or excuse me subject lines I'm saying headlines all those subject lines I just said could work for almost any product you have right so they don't mean a whole lot They just develop a little bit of curiosity. So that's the very first step now What I'll do is I'll pick two headlines two headlines. Okay. Now. Let's say I'm mailing out to a hundred thousand people I don't know which headlines gonna work. So I want to test them So what I need to do is I need to take maybe I'd say about five hundred of those people five hundred of those people and send out that email with two Different subject lines. Now, how can I do that? Encartra the best way to do that is to search the list that you're going to be sending it out to and show Maybe a hundred people per page Click on those hundred people and add a tag that says test subject line test subject line Okay, and I would have that tag expire and you know three or five days because you don't want it staying on these people And you could do all this in cartridge So now once I've said test subject line and I've done that and I've tagged five hundred of my people I'm now going to send out the email But I'm going to a be tested So half of the list will get one of the subject lines and half of the list will get the other subject line Then I'm going to wait two or three days and I'm going to look and see which Subject line got clicked on the most. Okay. Now once I determine that once I figured out which subject line I got clicked on the most now. I've got my base subject line So in this case here, let me kind of tell you a story Our our company is in San Diego, but we're moving to Austin, Texas So that that creates a unique I can't talk unique opportunity Because I have to change the labels and all my products all my products are labeled with the San Diego address So this brings up the next thing I want to tell you when you're doing a sale Make sure there's a reason for it. Now the reason for my sale is that I'm changing the address on these labels So I'm letting everybody know how I've got to change the address in these labels I've got all these old labels with the old address on it And this is before I move we haven't moved yet And I want to extend a discount to you to help me get rid of all these labels So that is the basis of this particular promotion. Okay, that is the basis of it. It's real Okay, don't do anything. That's not real your basis of your promotion could be an inventory reduction because you're switching warehouses It could be a closeout of a product that you're not going to make anymore. It could whatever it is Okay, it could be you you purchased a limited supply of something And you've got you know, 50 of these or 10,000 of these or whatever it is make sure there's a reason for your sale Don't just say we're having a sale. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't hold any value So the reason for our sale is that We're going to be switching these labels now make sure the sale is good.  That's huge in addition to that. I'm going to give them free shipping Okay, which can save hundreds of dollars in large orders of products Now what is my product? My product is canned meats and they are long-term food storage Okay, and I have four that are available. I have beef chicken turkey pork and that's it Okay beef chicken turkey pork now It's going to send them to a sales page and I don't have all this to show you guys on this live But just try to imagine it. It's I'm gonna send out this email And it's going to send them to the sales page on the sales page What I did is I did a video and that particular video actually explains to them What the sale is about and I wonder if I could let me give me one second here guys I want to see if I can actually play that video Because I think you guys would be interested in that Let me see here. Where is that video? Okay, there's that one and I may not be able to find it guys But I'm gonna do my utmost best to find it and I think I can All right, so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go to my cartra account Real quick There's cartra Okay, then I'm gonna get my pages I may have to re-log in I know I'm gonna have to re-log in but you guys are gonna really like this when you see this video I promise you it is worth watching Okay My system's a little bit slow kind of work with me for so I'm gonna sip it to you I'll do that and guys put your questions in the comment section right now If you've got questions about what I'm going over, you know, feel free to ask me. I don't mind In fact, I really kind of enjoy it when you ask these questions. All right, let me Put in my password That'll get me in and then I'm gonna I'm gonna actually show you the sales page is what I want to do So I think I think you think it's gonna be pretty cool In fact, I know it's cool. It's course. Of course, it's cool. What else would it be but cool? All right To get that code for the page and this is the cool thing guys I'm gonna show you how cart for works so you can see how awesome the software really is you're gonna want it I'm telling you you're gonna want this Now you guys doing phones put something in that comment section if you're already doing a phone Do you know what a funnel is? Have you used a funnel before? I'm just kind of curious what you're doing All right, it's loading loading my page builder now And this is really cool because I'm gonna show you behind the scenes of exactly what I'm doing So that you get the same results. I didn't know this stuff years ago You couldn't learn any of this stuff guys don't look at people online making money going oh my god They're special there this through that they just learned something and all that's all it is and you could do the same thing You can do this with any product you have this can be for a product This can be a service this can be anything, okay? So don't think that you know just because I'm selling survival food You have to be selling a product like mine. You don't this works for anything you can adapt it for anything And goodness gracious my page is slow today It's like the one day you want to show it then it's slow loading and Cartra is normally incredibly fast But when you try to show it to somebody it slows down. So all right, it just popped up here. All right So now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get the url for this page This is another cool thing when you're working in Cartra. You can keep clicking and get the url and see what it looks like so that You can kind of see how you've come so far and it's so weird when I'm in the creator and building these pages I think it looks good and then when I go to the actual page and look at I'm like, oh, no I got to change that that's not quite right We'll go to that page now. I got that page open Now what I've got to do is share my screen with you guys so give me one second. I'm gonna share my screen Okay, so I'm sharing my screen now. I think you could probably see it and then I'm gonna go over to the actual page and Look in there and see when that page pops up Let me it's there's a little bit of a delay. So understand that What I'm showing you something here. It takes a second for it to actually show up. I've got the volume up now I just want to make sure that you guys are seeing it on your screen too before I hit the play button I think it I think it's working. I think it's working Okay, so you guys can see it now, right? I'm sure you can And I want to go back here. So now what I'm gonna do is go ahead and so this is the actual page Okay, it says regular price to 79 the case inventory closeout 159 say 43% I think I said see 46 it's 43 by 10 case limit a label change inventory closeout And I have a four-minute video that reveals what happened So what we're gonna do now and I'm gonna show you the rest of this page here But as you can see they might be chicken turkey pork. I'm giving the free shipping right here And talks about all this the nice thing you can buy one five or ten of these. Okay, so I give them Three choices because if you don't give them three choices, they won't buy more Okay, this is like common sense, but a lot of people don't know this. So let me go ahead and play this video It's called the great American food shortage and I wrote it I've also got a big announcement at the end of this video that you're gonna want to hear in addition to that I want to offer our now famous survival cave food can eats at a price I haven't done in 10 years. It will be the lowest price. I've ever offered but let me explain to you why I'm doing this I originally started survival cave food as a home-based business in Chesapeake, Virginia And actually did shipments out of my garage I developed a process to canned meats for a long shelf life So that the average American could buy high quality meats at a fair price to keep their family protected from food shortages I started with wholesome USDA inspected beef lean and delicious chicken and then added the best quality turkey I could find and pork from the finest small farms in America All these meats are processed humanely and are all natural and I can them without the use of preservatives additives or chemicals Please keep in mind that we only source and pack and package these great meats right here in America Nothing comes from outside the great USA when I started the company I processed orders late at night after working my day job through a network of websites I was able to grow survival cave food into one of the most respected and healthiest survival foods that you can buy We moved the business to San Diego, California in 2013 and as we grew so did our warehouse and during COVID our business boomed people realize they needed a good healthy and Reliable source of protein that was shelf stable and priced right and let's face it the grocery stores Well, they just ran out just as I had predicted in my now famous book Also during COVID we were able to serve our customers in this difficult time and make sure our customers were fed Nutritious food at an economical price We delivered our foods to towns big and small all across America and kept the citizens of the United States safe and fed So here is the big announcement today I want to announce that we again are moving our location to the beautiful state of Texas We will move our headquarters to Austin, Texas as soon as my home is ready there This move creates a unique problem because all of our food labels have our San Diego address And we need to change it to Austin, Texas So this is where the interesting part comes in we need to change those labels and get rid of all the ones that say San Diego, California So what I'm doing is drastically cutting the price of all of these delicious Okay guys, so you see here. This is where I'm talking about the reason for the sale This is so important keep listening can needs so that you can take advantage of our new move to our new location I'm pretty sure you don't care what address is on the can do you in addition to the delicious can needs I'm going to throw in an autograph copy of my book for each person who takes advantage of this incredible deal Now there's no catch to this all you have to do is click the button of your choice below and choose the meat that you want I'm offering beef chicken turkey pork and ground beef Please keep in mind that some of these may sell out very fast So if you click one of them and it says we are sold out I apologize in advance I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting us over the past decade And I look forward to supplying you with more delicious foods in the future Thank you for your business and please click the button now so that you can take part in this inventory reduction While there's still supplies available. Oh, yeah one other thing These have just been made fresh and are all in stock and can ship within three to five days So you're going to have these foods almost immediately who knows what the next major emergency will be But one thing you can know for sure is that there will be another emergency whether it's sickness Civil unrest terrorism natural disasters, or who knows what else we will all need survival food again Grab this amazing deal while you can and save a huge amount of money. Thank you for your business and remember You'll never see a deal like this again act today and get an autographed copy of my book for free and drastically discounted prices on survival cave food Okay, guys, so that is the actual video that people will see I want to give you a let me stop it here It's trying to play again, and then when they click on one of these let's say I buy beef When they click on it, it's going to go to this page here Okay, it's slowly loading. There it is So like on this page here, and it's got all their information and stuff on there But on this page here, they can pick how much they want one five or ten of these and the ten one You know sells for fifteen hundred ninety dollars. So it's it's a lot of money, but you know We have a lot of people buy it. So let me go back now to where you can see me on the screen Then I want to explain this to you a little bit more All right, okay, so I'm back with the screen now. So we send out this email and they go to this page And then they can click and then they can go to another page and they can actually buy the product now There's a couple things.  What this does is the people who were thinking about buying it But they were kind of on the edge this pops up and they're like oh Maybe I should get it. That's a really good deal. Okay. All right So now let me go back to my other screen here And these are all the things that make all the difference in the world when you're doing this stuff Okay, so they've got this discount thing if they don't buy but let's say they go to this page Okay, and they don't do anything. They just go to the page I have a sequence set up for people who go to the page land on this page and it says hey Bob Tom Frank whatever your name is I Saw you just checked out our offer But you didn't get anything click here to go back and check it out. Maybe you got busy. Okay, so initially I Don't give them any discount or anything like that. I just say hey you went to my page and you didn't buy So that's another part of the funnel that a lot of people leave out now. I have another sequence Let's say they go to the page and then they go to the order form, but they don't complete the order form Then what I do is I automate an email for people who went to the order form And we can do all this in Cartra People who went to the order form who did not complete the order and I say to them hey you went to this order form But you didn't buy anything I've saved all your information on the order form click here to go back and complete your sale now Why is that important because somebody could be at the order form and their kid falls down and gets hurt And they have to close their computer and go help them out they get a phone call they get an email They get a text Something interrupted them so my assumption is why they didn't finish that order form is because they got interrupted And in that email, I'm gonna remind them that hey But you went to the order form don't forget you get free shipping free shipping is a big thing nowadays So what I'm doing is I'm following up with all these people now Let's say they go to the order they go to the offer page They go to the order form they order the product when they go to order the product the next page They come to says thank you and by the way, I've got a special offer for you Thanks for your purchase, but now you can buy a small Cansett and it's a combo of chicken and beef and you can add this to your order It's normally two hundred and twenty nine dollars, but you can add it for only 99 bucks 99 bucks Okay, so that's pretty cool. And let me see if I can pull up that page for you real quick That way you can see what I'm talking about All right, let me get out of this one here This one and these are the kind of things you can do with the cart for guys and all this is automated All this is automated so that I don't really have to worry about it's just going on once I've set all this up It just does its thing Which is pretty darn amazing and let me find my little thank you page here And that will show you what happens once they buy the product What's up, Paul see here? He says so after they get in the funnel to buy the product So you capture email and then send to store or capture email and check out I get their email at checkout However, I understand these are people I've emailed. I've already got their email now I'm interested in the the dynamics of their actions. Okay, so let me try to find that thank you page And I want to show you Okay There it is Okay, so this one here Once they bought the product Okay, they're gonna go to this page Here and okay, so now let me share this with you real quick And Paul what are the heck is James today? I haven't heard from James. What's going on with James? That's weird James is always here. Okay guys, so once they bought it goes to this page It says thanks for your order grab this one-time special offer grab a case of our small cans for 56% off add a 12 can case of our 14 and a half ounce beef and chicken Regular price 229 add your order for 99 bucks Okay, so they're gonna go here. So now this is another $99 I can add to the order Okay, they get a great deal and I sell a little bit more product Now this is a very inexpensive add on because consider the first product minimum price was a hundred seventy nine dollars Then I think it went to 845 for five and it's fifteen hundred ninety for ten We have the majority of our people by fifteen hundred ninety dollars worth The reason being is we limit it to ten. We say that's all you can buy And when you say that's all you can buy people tend to buy all they can buy So if they decide to add it to their order, I can click here And this is a OTO one-time offer and built into cartridge that will just add it to their bill They don't have to put the credit card information in again. You don't do anything that will just add that 99 bucks to the bill And what it does, let me see if it'll work here. It may not work. Yeah. Yeah So what it's gonna do is it's gonna pop up this thing here And it's gonna say continue here to add this to my order now they may say no thanks I don't want to get 56% off on small kids. So they're gonna click right here If they click right there, it says your order has been received. We will email you when your order ships got questions This is our frequently asked questions page by clicking the button on the right. So notice every single page I have something for them to do every single page Pulse says by the way wife like your commercial my wife or your wife. My wife thinks it's okay. I don't know about your wife That could be different, right? So on this page here if they decided to click visit our FAQ They click here, and then it's gonna take it to our frequently asked questions If they have any questions about billing shipping their account, whatever it's all gonna be right here All right, so let me get back on the screen here All right now keep in mind That I'm gonna send them an email Every day for about four days to keep reminding them and let them know that my inventory is getting low because it will Get low and I'll sell out of this product and then I'm gonna let them know when it's the last day I'm saying I'm gonna close this out and on that last day I may send them three or four emails to remind them this is the last day man You need to grab this while you can food prices only go up. I've never seen food prices go down ever They just don't okay. I promise you next year at this time They're gonna be more expensive overall food prices will go up every now and then one commodity goes down because there's an abundance of it But overall your food cost goes up every single year. It is the best investment in the world There's no better investment than food Okay, and if you can buy food and it doesn't go bad, it's very valuable. That's what I sell survival food it lasts for years Does that make sense to you guys? So what I've done is those people that I would have lost by only sending one email about my sale I said a whole bunch to those people I would have lost by having a subject line that revealed what I was selling I fixed that by putting a subject line that doesn't reveal it those people I lost By you know having them go to the sales page but not by and I remind them I send another email I pick up those people those people who went to the order form and they didn't complete the order form I send them a different email So it's just like I've plugged up all these holes where we lose money Too many marketers say they have a funnel because they email for four days and they think that's a funnel That's not a funnel a funnel is where you plug up all the holes Okay, there's a lot of holes the funnel and you know when they draw that funnel thing You see it sometimes I think it should have holes all over where there's sales leaking out because they didn't do all these extra things and I want to share that with you guys because This will make you money. Does it take a little bit more extra work to have an automation if they visit the page and don't buy? Yeah, so what it's more money It doesn't take more work to send them an automation if they get to the checkout page and they don't complete the checkout Yeah, but it makes you more money. Okay Does it take more work to send them emails for four days and then three or four emails on the last day? Yeah But it makes you money. Okay, so this is the thing I want to get across to you guys and these can all be built in Cartra and some of these funnels like this one here is not an example of that because you know I literally am really changing the labels on the cans but some of these phones you can build and when new people come in You can start a woman funnel again. Okay. It's some type of sale. You're having this inventory sale It's it's a whatever sale And you can keep that funnel going as long as you keep adding people to your funnel You can just keep it going and going and going going. I've had phones that operate for years Now during COVID it kind of messed some of that up because some of the products they don't have available So I have to readjust some of those funnels But bottom line is guys if you make these changes if you do these things to your funnel You're gonna make a lot of money and put put in the comments or excuse me put in the chat right now Because we're live unless you're watching this afterwards and that wouldn't make sense because then it would be in the comment section So if you're watching this and it's not live put it in the comment section if you're watching it when it is live Put it in the chat section. All right. That's all you got to do And if it's if it's around 9 29 Pacific time Tuesday April 20th, you're probably watching this live if it is after that time once I've said this It's probably not live anymore, but I still come back and I answer your comments and all that stuff now Do me a favor if you watch this far, please subscribe hit that subscribe button whether you're live whether you're watching a replay Hit that subscribe button and don't forget bring the bell turn on all bell notifications Much better turn on all bell notifications.

I know it's gonna make me money and I know it'll make you money And I think that's an awesome thing that I can share with you and it's you can make money off this This is a good funnel. Could it be better? Of course everything can be better I'm always looking for new ways to fix things, but this is pretty good.

The saying is an entrepreneur's job is to do the things, let me think, do the things now that nobody wants to do so that you can live the life later that nobody can, nobody else can or something like that. That's where I'm at, I'm in the trenches and it's okay and it's hard and it's supposed to be hard. If it weren't hard, everybody would be doing it, right? So I'm okay with hard work, that's just who I am, that's what I've been trained. My dad and my grandpa, everybody around me has been hardworking people and so I think that plays out in this scenario as well. I don't have, what do they call it? I don't have quit in me, I just don't, it's just not a thing. Awesome.
