And a lot of you guys know what's coming up next. It's the word chop, right? It's the word chop that everybody hates, no matter what type of trader you are. Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process and own your future. Hey guys, good morning everybody. Welcome to another edition of TheAxisTrader.com. Weekend update show, hope everybody is doing well. Hope you've had a great week of trading, obviously a crazy market, had a big, big run, nice rest for the tape, good, healthy rest. We'll get to that in a second. Just a quick announcement. Kyler, who does a phenomenal, phenomenal job doing all these videos and editing all these videos and all that good technology stuff. He's gonna put a link for all you guys who are curious about Pivots and always kind of wanted to try it. He's gonna put a link into the description for a discounted trial for the month to check out the webinar. Again, I've been saying this for many, many years. I don't think Pivots are for everyone. It's a very unique and advanced way of trading. There's a lot of moving parts, but for those who apply to their comfort zone and your account size and all that good stuff, it's a pretty, pretty cool way to navigate the markets. Obviously I'm a little biased by it, but if you do wanna try it, there is going to be a link in the description and you could take advantage of it. So let's talk about the tape. So marvelous run, absolutely phenomenal, phenomenal run off the bottom, off this kind of double bottom from the January, excuse me, February 24th and March the 14th lows. We had almost three week run, huge price action expansion everywhere, tech stocks just went absolutely nuts. And the question was going into this week, if you've been kind of watching the videos, the question was, well, how long is this gonna last? Is this run going to be sustainable? Because again, the last thing you want in any type of linear move is going up too far too fast or going down too aggressive too fast as well. And eventually the other side of the trade gets too complacent as well. And what happened was was something that was very much needed, right? When you look at the scoreboard towards the end of the week, you'll see the Dow, the S&P virtually flat on the day, flat on the week, the NASDAQ 100 eked out a seven tenths of a percentage gain, but the most important part was we needed that rest. It was a good, great run. The last three days of the week traded perfectly down to the 10 day moving average, reclaimed, held low volume. There was absolutely no aggression. There was absolutely no fear. Just a good, steady back test into recent price action. And that's what you need for healthy price action if the bulls wanna go further up. Now the question is, what happens next, right? We saw this phenomenal move down to the downside of the 200 day moving average. This great run to the upside. We hit the 150 day moving average kind of back tested. And the question is, what happened in the past is in the past. We can't control what happened leading up to Monday's session. We can only control going forward. And there's going to be a very, very valid argument, right? Or at least discussion of what happens next. Again, the bull case is, well, we had a two and a half week run. We back tested perfectly, into rising support, great rest, good digestion. The longer the bears are comfortable at these levels, the higher probability we're gonna reclaim that 30, excuse me, that 372 area on the queues and start really going up into the higher channels of the daily and weekly supplies, right? That's the bull case. The bear case is, well, every bear market has a violent run. You can go back to 9-11. You can go back to the mortgage crisis. All that, you've had violent runs in a bear scenario and now we're rolling over and now we're ready to go back to the lows. I think anybody who's trying to take a stand based on Friday's close is a little bit naive to think that they are 100% right. Number one, structurally, we did the right thing. The bulls are not wrong, the bears are not wrong. But the question is, what happens next? And none of us know. We could only prepare for it. And usually what happens when you have a digestion cycle, really good distribution level coming off higher levels, you're going to run into contraction channels. And that's the theme going into Monday, maybe even Tuesday. And contraction or distribution, which basically means the same thing, it's what we talk about from random times of the year of basically the bull and bear, and I've used this analogy before.  They're trying to have a fight with each other in a phone booth and we all know if you're standing in a phone booth, you have no room, you have no reach, you're not doing any damage. So you're not going to get any fear on the downside until we start breaking down like literally all this. And you're not going to get that massive aggression to the upside because stocks are very, very tired, which is going to cause contraction channels instead of the expansion channels that we saw on the way up. And a lot of you guys know what's coming up next. It's the word chop, right? It's the word chop that everybody hates no matter what type of trader you are, but that's necessarily what's going to happen because now the next stage of where we are now, not where we came from, but where we are now is who gets control, right? Who gets control of the next leg down? Do the bearers get below all this rising support and start going to the lows or the bulls get a good, good structural rest, start attacking the top of the channel and we go further marching back to all time highs. That's to be determined. But once that's happening, you're going to see, for example, a stock like Amazon that usually will have like a 70, 80 point average true range, maybe go down to 30. You'll have maybe a stock like a Tesla, we'll get the Tesla in a second of an average true range of $45, $50, maybe get down to 18. So what's going to wind up happening is bull and bear are going to take jabs at each other. Nobody's going to get ahead. Nobody's going to do any damage. There's just going to be a lot of noise. And what that's going to do is cause a lot of traders to pull out their own hair. Market sucks, it's too choppy. Well, if you know the market is going to be choppy based on this possibility, well, why put yourself in a position to get quote unquote chopped, right? Let the market play out here. It's not going to be a week, two weeks, three week type of scenario. And even if it was, you have to be an adult enough to kind of let it play out. But this should play itself out Monday, maybe going into Tuesday session. Eventually the sellers will clean up the buyers and stocks will go lower or the buyers will clean up the sellers and stocks will go higher. Until that happens, why would you possibly again step on a minefield knowing it's there if you don't have to, if you could avoid it, right? Let the other people do the legwork for you. Let the market participants churn themselves into oblivion knowing we're in a contraction cycle, a distribution cycle, whatever you wanna call it. Let them do the heavy lifting for us. When the bodies are on the ground and the smoke is left, we're gonna have a clear direction by Tuesday going into Wednesday session of if this market's going higher or is this market turning around and going lower? And this is where people use the word patience and use the word discipline, but how many of us can actually implement that, right? The hardest thing in the world for a new trader to do is kind of sit on their hands. It's the hardest thing in the world to do because they feel, and this is primarily because of social media because social media is saying there's something going on at all times, but what you don't realize that something that is going on has nothing to do with your approach, has nothing to do with your process, has nothing to do about the stocks that you trade and it's only the lights camera action that social media is providing and that's cool, right?  Let it rest, let other people have the fight for you and after it's all said and done, give you a clear view of what's about to happen next and when you're going through a distribution cycle that's exactly what's gonna happen. You can have a lot of strength in the morning and then you can have some afternoon selling, you can have some afternoon selling and then you have strength in the morning and it's gonna be a whole bunch of things. Strength and weakness are gonna be represented sometimes in the same channel, strength and weakness are gonna be separated sometimes in the same group and sector and you're gonna be very, very confused. I don't understand the stock was strong in the morning, how could it sell off? Well, I don't understand the stock was so weak in the morning, it was about to crack opening range, oh, how's it behind, that's what distribution is. And if you know the danger is going into this week, again, why would you put yourself in a situation to wake up, start pounding your chest, start screaming, is it Monday yet, is it Tuesday yet, is it Wednesday yet and get completely engulfed by this chop factor that potentially could happen. It's very, very out there, it's out there and the question is, are you going to give into it and just trade because the market's open or put yourself in a position of strength, right? There's a big difference between when you hear social media as the market is going lower and in a downward cycle, cash is a position, sit on your hands, yeah, that's an excuse but when you have a trendless market going through a distribution, sitting on your hands or maybe I don't wanna use that word but kind of patiently waiting for your pitch, you're kind of patiently waiting for a little bit more clarity, that's called being a mature adult and I do believe in the next, you know, the first day or two of the week where you are going to see many more clues, we're gonna see a lot more option flow coming into the market because if you guys noticed Thursday into Friday, it was pretty much dead, right? You saw the options market very, very quiet, nobody was really taking any big bets one way or another as we saw earlier in the week, as we saw earlier in the last couple of weeks, very, very aggressive out of the money call buying, we didn't see that and people are, you know, have been through the ringer so many times they get, you can't bet when there is no obvious direction, you can't bet when there's no obvious aggression and I think a lot of people are taking the stance just like myself, just kind of seeing what, you know, what there's out there, is there gonna be things to do on Monday? Yeah, I think so, yeah, Tesla and again, it's a funny story, a year ago, I turned to my wife, I go, you know what, I think it's time, I think I want a Tesla and she goes, she turns to me, she goes, I like them, she goes, but everyone has one, I don't want one, everyone has one and she's right, everyone has one, that's the whole point, everyone has one and when you look at the global deliveries, right, I think they were 310,000 that came out over the weekend, it's a phenomenal job, everybody's a freaking Tesla, my neighbor to the left of me has three of them, my neighbor in front of me has one and my neighbor's to the right of me, there's another three in the next four houses, so yes, everyone has one and that's a really, really great job by Tesla, not only turning into a car company, which is also a tech company, which is also a solar company, but now it's clearly a cold company and everybody loves their products just like an Apple and it'll be very, very curious to see what happens with the stock on Monday, did they blow away their estimates? No, they didn't blow them away, but it's super duper impressive and I'm very, very curious to see if they finally start attacking the top of the ranges here. If you guys remember, we did see pretty heavy betting earlier in the week for the 1150s, I guess they were anticipating betting into these, into these data release points, so it will be very interesting to see here, obviously I watch Tesla every single day, but I'm curious to see if this top of the channel gets confirmed and gets built upon based on these numbers. When you look at other tech stocks, they're all stuck in the range, right? They really are, they're all stuck. I'm not really interested in names right now like an Apple, because again, there's no clear direction. It held the 10, just like Mirrod, just like Mirrod, the Q's, if you look at Amazon after a huge, huge run, again, they could go one way or another, again, we're looking for clues again. If Amazon is gonna wake up and we saw some pretty big May, right, May 3500 calls, if it's gonna start going to 3500, right, we're gonna need to see it take out this whole channel and reclaim back the 200-day moving average. So there's a lot of names like that. There's definitely some names that look pretty good going into this week. Look at a name like Docu, and again, it might confirm, it might not. Again, it's only gonna be as strong as the tech stocks, but if you know it's basing out pretty well, if the market continues its next leg up, I'm definitely interested in a name like this. Look at Visa, right? Visa had a monster, monster run, closed above the last two channels, backtested like everything else, had a good, healthy rest, and looks like now it wants to resume. Look at a name like Zen, right? Not a name I usually would typically look at, but again, you're not gonna see many good-looking charts that look like this. Look at the top of this channel here, right? It never went down as the market was kind of healthy backtesting. So it's very, very important to kind of look out for names like this. This looks pretty good as well. And on the downside, you know, look at a name like FedEx that completely engulfed, literally two weeks worth of buying on one candle. FedEx starts confirming to the downside, well, there's a lot of room down as well. So, you know, you have to be prepared going into this week, but you also do have to acknowledge that going into Monday's session is not like going into last Monday's session when the market was still very, very aggressive and channels were still expanding. You know, this is a different market. Every single day is only as good as the next day starting pitching. That's where momentum is. And I do believe if I'm reading the data right, again, I could be wrong and I always am, but the point is if I am reading the data right based on where we are on the cues, number one, what's gonna need to happen for further aggression to occur back to the upside, we're gonna have to reclaim the five-day moving average. And that's kind of a big deal. If we can't reclaim the five-day moving average and for all you guys who are, you know, short-term traders, that's the most important, at least for me, that's the most important sentiment of who has control when you're underneath the five-day moving average that's not necessarily a sell bias, but there's weakness when you're above the five-day because you can see here, the whole run, can you see this orange line, right? The whole run came above the five-day. Everybody see it? Everything here, it's all straddling the five-day as soon as we lost the five-day, right? What happened? We started seeing weakness. So it's a kind of a little bit of a cheat sheet, especially for all you new folks, above the five-day is trending higher, below the five-day it's a short-term sentiment of trending lower. So if the bulls need to or want to start reclaiming back to higher levels, we're gonna need to reclaim back the five-day moving average on a close. So the message going into this week is pretty much every single week, be an adult. Again, I don't care if you're trading for 25 minutes, 25 months, or 25 years, act like a professional. Your money is just as green as everybody else's. You've worked as hard as for your money as anybody else's. And the great part about this is businesses, everybody has a form. Everybody has a right to make a bet. But if you are making a bet, make it intelligently based on technical analysis, based on market sentiment.  Guys, have a great, great Sunday. God bless. I wish you all the best health and happiness. Oh, God's help, I'll see you all tomorrow. Have a great, great trading day.


Do you ever wonder what happens when the police leave? Crime scene cleaners are private companies that handle the cleanup after the police are gone. Spalling DeCon is one of the nation's largest cleanup companies handling the aftermath of homicides, suicides, decompositions, hoarding, and much more. These are our stories. Of what happened to how her house caught on fire and how she has all this stuff, that we need to be getting out. Avalanche! You ever seen a rooch, Avalanche? This lady with this hoard, man, I guess she had lied to the adjuster and the insurance and she's going crazy, as you can see, crying and stuff right now. Of what happened to how her house caught on fire and how she has all this stuff, that we need to be getting out. But the adjuster says we can't go into the home right now because he has to call the origin adjuster to come and bring their own people in here to see how the fire started before we can even go in there. We're getting a little haily on a different level so, world, this is haily. You know, it's all American girl. H to the A to the L-E-Y. You hear her? I mean, we didn't even script that. That's really her. You feel me? I love showers. Stand in the shower for like an hour and a half. And if I have to shave, that's doing work in the shower. Shaving all my legs and my... and then washing my hair, it's been two hours. But you know what? I would rather shave my... and my... like, you know, I want none of that. That's bad business. Anywhere. You don't want to have to pry through the jungle. Like, oh my God. Oh no, you don't want to... You don't want to say she's like machete. She's got tree trimmers and hedgers. Had to get Emma Scissorhands to come in there with me. That is not poppy. Come on. Shave is what he's talking about. Look over and I'll make sure you get you on point. If you notice, follow the finger. If you notice, the five o'clock stubble, okay? This is more like, you know, not five, like six, maybe six-thirty. Could be six-forty-five. What is it that you like about hordes? They are, to me, easy. Unless they're picky and want to go through things and save clothes or jewelry, of course, as granted. But on all other terms, you can just get rid of everything.  Take a shovel, go in there, dump it, dump it.  The dead animal breaks my heart, but the filth aspect really is not the biggest deal in the world to me.  You chew gum, too. It's all American chick right here. That's right. I mean, this is good as a guess right there. Born and raised. You hear? I mean, I didn't got to say nothing. I mean, this is... What level would you say this is? What's the strongest hurricane? Five. It's kind of going five. Oh, that's the sinkhole. That's the sinkhole, dude.  I've seen tons of mice and tons of nasty grime stuff. This is a lot of bugs. Let's see what you're talking about, those grouse.  They travel from New York. How are you New York roaches? You need to get along. Okay, I didn't see all of this when I came in last time. That's bad-iouses. Yeah, yeah.    It wasn't me. It was gravity. Okay. Thank you. Probably high up there in one of the worst hordes that I've ever seen. Bugs. Filth. Not as bad, but filth. And it was mostly garbage. I can't believe that it was piled so high, but that-ious and I, we did a really good job. It was an avalanche. An absolute avalanche.   I wish you would have been there to see it. But it was just gross and nasty, but we got through it. Today was our only day to move everything out of there. When we arrived, there was a miscommunication, I guess, when we got in. There was a fire. Honestly, in my opinion, when you walk in, it smelled kind of like a bonfire off in the distance. Not too pungent, but you could tell something burned. The ceiling, I noticed, was very charred and black, and I don't think that's going to last a very long time, so to speak. I'd like to say that the lady that we worked with today was very nice. Items might have gotten misplaced that were her daughters' clothes and shoes and books and things that she didn't want thrown away. That, and she wasn't too very nice to me. I was told to be a man. I'll work on that, I promise. You ever seen a roach avalanche? The boys would do it. Hey, this is Fiona. Got Nick. Jarr. From Spalding. We're out in Pensacola doing some hurricane relief work. As you can see, the damage behind us, it's quite substantial. It's terrible. Even here. But we're just doing what we can to help the residents over here. We've got this, though. We're trying to make clean-up wipes of accidents as they happen. So, just taking it one day at a time, doing the best we can. So, the team went up to Pensacola to assist in hurricane relief. Some houses needed, tops put on the roof, water damage inside. So, we just went out to help the residents in Pensacola. We were in Pensacola for two weeks. Well, honestly, the most memorable was driving down the streets of Pensacola right on the edge of the water and just seeing the faces of all the people that live there and just seeing their face of relief when they see companies driving by to actually help out. It was eye-opener for me to actually see the extent of the damage in real life. Like, seeing it on TV or in photos is one thing, but seeing it right there in front of you was just, it's heartbreaking. I would say the most challenging day was the day that we had to do a third-story house. Ended up having to buy a ladder specifically for that job. John was the lucky one to go on the roof. With a harness, with rope, with an anchor on the other side, which was Franny. Yup. I was the anchor on the ground. It was challenging, but we did it. Third-story, so pretty much a four-floor. Winds were very, very strong. I would say anywhere from 50 miles to 75 miles an hour, trying to hold your balance and everything, but luckily I had a good anchor that didn't let me fall. It made it happen. It's a lot different spending the day with someone versus two weeks. You get to see everything about each other, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I'm ready to go back. Ready to have coffee on the table. I did wake up every morning to a cup of coffee waiting for me, so John's the best. Creamy sugar? Come on, Carrie. There was a house we would drive down the street and you'd just see signs saying, Thank you for all the work. Thank you guys. Thank you guys. Every time we went into a store, we went in to buy some food or anything, it was always a thank you. We went out to eat, someone gave us like a 50% discount, but you see the difference that you make and the impact. That alone is more than enough reason to do it again. Any final words that you want to leave or people who unfortunately come into situations, similar situations? I would say keep your hopes high. There's people out there that will come to help you. We're only a phone call away. We'll make it happen just like we did these last two weeks. We can keep on going all year round if we have to. Look back, melted. Absolutely melted. There's a couch there. That's kind of cool. I didn't see that when we first walked in.  You know what I mean? I think she thought that she was getting men, like big, muscly type men that could get the house empty in a day. Nobody really could have gotten that house empty in a day. I'm so sorry. You see my sweaty Tyvek muscles. It's a joke. I'm not good at that at all. Scratch that from the take. Stay positive. It'll get better before it gets a lot worse for you. All right? Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Glad we could be of some assistance service to you. You're very welcome. Just finished up this category 5 board. Hoard of the, you know, roach avalanche. It was a good hoard. One of the best ones I've been on as far as just, like, the amount of trash and stuff that was in the house. We try to put as big of a dent in her places as possible even though we seem like we didn't get anywhere. Put at the end of the day, you know, she started off a little rough behind the edges to client.   You know, we all go through things in life.  So, kind of glad, you know, we got to do the time that she's going through right now. She seemed like she was very happy, very pleased with the job and effort that we did today, you know, another satisfied customer. Even though we didn't get everything, we had to stop because she said that she was ready to go in, ready for us to go. So, toughest part about this job was going up and down stairs.  Share my friend code later. All you Pokemon go losers, play a real game. See how Hayley's looking right now? She doesn't like that because she's a Pokemon person, but she needs to play a real game. How are you going to insult me and then finish with a comment? Dude, play a real game, play a real game, like Tetris. Tetris is a real game, huh? Play a real game, like Mario Bros. No, don't play that. Pac-Man, play a real game, pinball, something. My age will not be revealed. My age won't be revealed, but at the end of the day, I'm happy with who I am. At me, I'm Pokemon Go. Look at him. Man, look how I have those. She's trying to get that air by. You feel me? That's a no. Don't add. Thanks for watching, guys.

I would like to welcome all of you to the White House. It's a privilege and an inspiration to be host to this distinguished gathering. In this room today are representatives of thriving democracies on many continents. President Monke leads one of Latin America's strongest democracies. Mr. Shavu Musa is the personal representative of President Shigari of Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation and a democracy. Europe's advanced industrial democracies with traditions of representative governments stretching over generations are represented here. So too are Asia's new democracies. And we also welcome representatives of international parliaments. President Aretha of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly. Vice President Ellis of the European Parliament. Vice President Townsend of the Latin American Parliament. And I would also like to greet the Democratic leaders who are with us in spirit, only Prime Minister Spadalini of Italy who could not attend this luncheon but who has sent a message of greetings in which he expressed on behalf of his people. Well, he did it I should say not in sending a message in delivering a great keynote address to this gathering which you heard. King Juan Carlos of Spain has sent a message of greetings in which he expressed on behalf of the Spanish people in himself support for the principles and objectives of this conference. And we are here today to celebrate the common vision, a vision of a world where right to self-government is openly acknowledged. Where the state is seen as not the master but the servant of man. In particular, this conference is concerned with free elections, the very foundation of democracy. There's no more striking symbol of democracy than the picture of a citizen casting a ballot, electing a leader, choosing his or her own destiny. Earlier this week, elections were held here in the United States. I spent the last two weeks on the road working for votes and trying to understand my country's problems better and so did thousands of candidates for local, state and federal offices with a wide variety of views. On Tuesday of this week, the people gave their verdict in free elections and the process is the same in your countries. The free flow and the open competition of ideas is the heart of our free societies. What a striking contrast this is with those nations of the world where the people have no role but must sit weekly by and wait for a small group of men to conclude their struggle for power behind closed doors and then rule without being accountable to anyone. But there's something else that brings us together today. It's an excitement that we share about the opportunities for the spread of democracy, the sense of hope about the prospects for the future. One of my predecessors in this office shared this excitement. General Eisenhower wrote in his personal diary less than a year after the end of the Second World War, our most effective security step is to develop in every country where there is any chance or opportunity, a democratic form of government. To lead others to democracy, we must help actively, but more than this, we must be an example of the worth of democracy. Well, I can think of no better way to express the challenge to those of us participating in this conference and the free men everywhere than those words of Dwight Eisenhower's, that this conference is taking place as testimony to the growing power of democratic ideals. And their appeal has led me to suggest to the British Parliament last June that you and I live at a turning point. A moment in time, and when time and circumstance and the sound instincts of good and decent people can unite to redirect history, to bring about a new and more hopeful life for future generations. Some may see this prognosis as too optimistic. I do not underestimate the capabilities for repression of dictatorships of either the left or the right, or the devastating effect of terrorism, but the imperishable democratic ideal and the democratic movement. These are stronger. As shown in country after country, on the continents which all of you in this room represent, mankind has an unquenchable aspiration to control its own destiny. It's our duty to speak out against the evil and the cruelty of misused state power. Unless we speak out, unless we give voice to the decent impulses of mankind and our own deepest held convictions, a kind of moral atrophy sets in. And we too may ultimately lose faith in the appeal and the power of our convictions. This conference is a further step in our support for the democratic movement. It's an opportunity to point out to the world that democracy gives to the people of each nation a chance to chart their own course. It's an opportunity to point out how free elections place the hand of the people firmly on the tiller of state. How the free competition of ideas at the ballot box is an invitation to stability and flexibility that is so necessary for economic and social progress. How universal suffrage is the certain route to popular support for institutions and policies. How the accountability of elected officials is the surest guarantee that the people's will is respected and that the fruits of growth will not be channeled to only a few. All of these realizations provide a powerful antidote to those who argue that state power and armed might are the only means to social or economic progress. In case after case we have seen the democratic states which rely on the initiative of their own people develop their economies and societies far further than centralized states. We must not underestimate the task that we face in supporting the growth of democracy. Democracy cannot be imposed from outside and it frequently evolves only after patient incremental steps. It must be the product of free institutions, churches, labor unions, independent judiciary and the press. And his life-giving rejuvenating process is a citizen placing his vote in a ballot box. The subject of this conference, your presence today already provides inspiration to those who believe in and work for democracy. I'm confident that your deliberation will be a source of new insight and wisdom. Yet we must do more than note the lessons of the past and the challenges of the future. It's my hope that this conference will produce not only a new commitment to freedom but a positive program for international action. Your Excellencies and ladies and gentlemen, I wish you success in your deliberations. And ask you to join me in a toast to our distinguished guests and, most of all, to our most prized heritage of our past and the most promising prospect for our future, personal freedom, the right to self-governing democracy. Senores distinguidos delegados a esta conferencia sobre elecciones libres, señoras y señoras. My dear friend, the President of the United States of America, Ronald Reagan, distinguished delegates to this conference on free elections, ladies and gentlemen. Es un inmenso honor para mi pueblo y para mi en mi condición de Presidente de la República agradecer las palabras y la convocatoria a esta conferencia por parte del Presidente Reagan de los Estados Unidos. It is an immense honor for me, for my people and for me as President of my Republic, to thank President Reagan for his words and also for his having convened this conference. Asistimos a un acontecimiento de una gran trascendencia para la lucha de los pueblos por la libertad y por la democracia. Aquí se han reunido gentes de muy diferentes lugares del mundo, pero todos identificados con los ideales de la democracia. Aquí se han reunido gentes de todos los lugares del mundo, pero todos con una profunda fe de que cual esquiera que sean las adversidades por las que de tiempo en tiempo pueda atravesar la lucha por la democracia, tenemos la más profunda fe de que al final triunfarán esos ideales en toda la tierra. So we have come to this event, an event which I consider to be of the greatest importance in the struggles of peoples for freedom and democracy. We are gathered here together peoples from different places throughout the world, but they are all together in their identification with the ideals of democracy. People have come here to this gathering from all corners of the world, all of them with a deep faith in democracy, in spite of adversities that might come up in each one of our countries from time to time in this struggle for democracy, we all share this deep faith that in the end there will be a triumph of democracy throughout the world. La definición de los Estados Unidos de América a través de su presidente y que dio el tema y el título central de esta conferencia es una definición de extraordinaria importancia para el futuro de nuestro que hacer a favor de la democracia, es elecciones libres, es una definición rotunda y categórica de los Estados Unidos a favor de la democracia, porque no se concibe la democracia sin ese principio de las elecciones libres y honestas del respeto a la voluntad de los pueblos expresada en las urnas electorales. And so this position adopted by the United States of America through its president of calling us here together and of establishing the theme and the title for this conference. Conference is a position of the utmost importance for the future in our day-to-day work in defense and for the development of democracy, because free elections, thanks to this clear cut, categorical positions of the United States have been enhanced and this is a way to promote the cause of democracy, because we cannot conceive of democracy without there being, first of all, free and fair elections in which the world of the people can be expressed as to the type of government that they choose for themselves. Para los que decíamos preservar la democracia y la libertad para nuestros pueblos, pero sobre todo para los pueblos que se debaten y se desangran en la lucha por alcanzar la libertad y la democracia, esta definición a favor de la democracia en forma militante y activa por parte de los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica es sin ningún lugar a dudas, a duda, la gran inyección, el gran aliento que estábamos necesitando en estos momentos de gran encrucijada para la democracia en América Latina y en el mundo entero. And so for those of us who want to preserve democracy and freedom for our peoples and above all of those, for those peoples that are debating internally, that are shedding blood in this search for freedom and democracy throughout the world. The adoption of this position by the United States of America in favor of democracy in a militant and active way, without a doubt, will serve as a tremendous injection, a tremendous source of encouragement that we sorely needed at this time in which we are at a great and significant crossroads as far as democracy is concerned in Latin America and indeed throughout the world. Y esta definición del presidente Reagan tiene también un significado aún más profundo y de mayor dimensión hacia el futuro. Destrosa una falsa alternativa que se ha venido planteando a nuestros pueblos en la lucha por la libertad. Se ha pretendido que la alternativa en la lucha contra el avance y la agresión del totalitarismo marxista-leninista es la dictadura militar conservadora también opresora de nuestros pueblos. Al definirse categóricamente los Estados Unidos como lo está haciendo por elecciones libres, elemento insustituible en la verdadera democracia, está definiendo los Estados Unidos que la alternativa frente al totalitarismo es la verdadera y la auténtica democracia en favor de la libertad y en favor de la justicia social para nuestros pueblos. And so this position announced by President Reagan is a sign that it's very deep, it goes much deeper than what I've said already and has an additional dimension as far as the future is concerned, but because it destroys what many people have been saying that there is a false choice and that the peoples face in the struggle for freedom that the choice is only when you have the aggression and the advances of marxist-leninist totalitarianism that the only choice for that, alternative to that is conservative military dictatorships equally oppressive of the people. And I think that the clear cut expression of this position by the United States in favor of free elections has been irreplaceable because it is irreplaceable as far as the development of democracy is concerned and I think that the United States by this expressing this position has shown that there is another choice when you are faced with the possibility of a marxist-leninist totalitarian system and that that choice is authentic and true democracy with freedom and social justice for the people. Si la democracia no se impone, como lo ha dicho tan correctamente el presidente Reagan, si en la democracia no se calca, no se imita, no se copia, no se trasplanta. Puede ofrecer algo a la lucha de los pueblos por la democracia un pequeño país de dimensiones poblacionales y geográficas muy reducidas. Un pequeño país que decidió desarmarse unilateralmente a abolir su ejército y que ha logrado construir una democracia que no es perfecta porque en la democracia siempre debemos luchar por la perfeccion pero siempre debemos estar preparados para no alcanzar la lunga. Puede una pequeña democracia ofrecer algo a los pueblos en la lucha para alcanzar esa meta extraordinariamente anhelada por los pueblos? Si, modestamente. No podemos ofrecer poder militar, no podemos ofrecer poder económico, pero si ofrecemos una vocación profunda de ese pueblo a favor de la libertad y a favor de la democracia. Y si podemos ofrecer el haber derrotado falsas teorías, pesimistas teorías sobre la democracia, una de ellas se ha dicho con excesiva audacia que la democracia no es una planta que puede crecer en los trópicos. Estamos en el trópico, somos hombres del trópico y le ofrecemos el esfuerzo de varias generaciones para establecer una democracia que ha podido desarrollar un país pobre, subdesarrollar y hemos podido consolidar una democracia y hemos podido rechazar el embate de los despotismos militaristas oligarquizantes que han maltratado a los pueblos hermanos vecinos y estamos rechazando el intento del totalitarismo marcista leninista de descarrilar esta tradición y este esfuerzo tan profundamente arraigado en la conciencia de nuestro pueblo. And so if democracy is going to win as was very well said by President Reagan, we have to consider what is it that we are going to offer a small country such as ours to this cause of achieving democracy. As I said, a country that is small, it is small in terms of population, it is small as far as territorial extension is concerned. And so what can we do? What can this small democracy of ours do to help a country that has decided generations ago to disarm itself unilaterally, a country that has decided on its own to abolish its own army and that has built a democracy, a democracy which we acknowledge is not perfect. Because democracy will never be perfect, we must always seek perfection, but we always realize that we will never achieve it and must therefore continue to work on it. So what can a small democracy as I said offer in this struggle for the peoples to find themselves a democratic system? I think we do have a lot to offer. It's an offer that we make with all modesty. We cannot offer any military power. We cannot offer any economic power. But we can offer the dedication and the deep vocation of a people for the cause of freedom and the cause of democracy. And we offer an alternative that will cause the defeat, will represent the defeat of false theories that have been expressed in the past. The theories, for example, the claims of some people that have gone as far as to say that democracy is a plant that cannot grow in the tropics. And I say to you today that we are of the tropics, we are men of the tropics, and we offer this effort of many generations that have established democracy so deeply in our country so that it is deeply rooted in the minds and hearts of our own people. And we offer this to the peoples of the world who want to achieve the same democracy.  What I say to you today that we are a poor country, an underdeveloped country, but we have been able to consolidate democracy in our land. And so we reject all of those people that have been battering at us from the military oligarchical despots in the past, who have tried to attack the democracy of our republic throughout our history. And we also reject the present attacks at the present time of Marxist Leninist totalitarianism that is trying to break our intractable tradition and efforts in order to continue democracy among our people. And in today's historical cojuncture, the present historical cojuncture, without anything due to turbulence, due to violence, and due to the siege of enemy ideas of democracy, we have the historical vanity, the historical pretension of being making a new contribution. What is that new contribution? We have rejected the strategy and the chant of totalitarianism that has always been intended and has sometimes managed to establish a division and a distance between the democracies of the poor and the small countries and the democracies of the rich and the big countries. Based on that strategy they have divided our efforts, they have weakened our energies to defend freedom and democracy in America and in the world. We have rejected that strategy and we have not accepted the oppression that has faded against the government and democracy that has collapsed this campaign of broadcasting of the Communist International for the only reason that we have believed that we should seek solidary plans and a compulsion between all democracies, the strong countries and the poor. And so, at this present juncture in our history, surrounded by turbulence, surrounded by violence, there are attacks presented by the people who are the enemies of democracy. And we'd like to have the historic pretentiousness and vanity, perhaps, to say that yes, in spite of all the history that has passed, we have a new confirmation to make to this cause of democracy. And you may ask what that new contribution is and my reply is that we reject a strategy of blackmail that is trying to seek and has achieved in some countries a division, a separation, a created distance between democracies that exist in poor and small countries and the democracies of the rich and the large countries. And this strategy has divided sometimes our efforts and has drawn our attention, has weakened our energies that should be devoted to the defense of freedom and democracy, not only in the Americas but also throughout the world. So this contribution is that we reject this strategy. We will not accept it, we will not be afraid, no matter what the aggressiveness is, against the government and the democracy of Costa Rica that is promoted by the apparatus of international communism. Because we believe that we should continue to make efforts to solidify and develop all democracies throughout the world and that we will defeat this strategy of dividing the democracies of the rich and the strong from the democracies of the poor and the weak. Gracias, President Errigan, por todo lo que para nosotros Los defensores de la libertad y de la democracia significan estas definiciones a las que he hecho referencia en mis palabras. Y me atrevería a anunciar que el pueblo de los Estados Unidos también de una profunda y grande vocación a favor de la democracia y de la libertad le agradecerán que con estas definiciones está dando la correcta y real imagen de la democracia norteamericana. Muchas gracias. Thank you, President Errigan, on behalf of all of us who work for the defense of freedom and a democracy, the position adopted by your government is extremely significant, the position to which I have referred to several times during my comments. And I would dare go as far as to announce that the people of the United States will be deeply grateful, a country that has such strong vocation for the cause of democracy and freedom will be deeply grateful for the position that you've announced so clearly, which has done so much to help and to present the true image of the democracy of the United States of America. Thank you.


All right, so the way that we're gonna section this off, I look at the parietal ridge as kind of a starting point. I also look at the recession point and the head as well. So I'll go across here. I'm gonna go just below the recession point. Now, why do I want to kind of section at this curve of the head? Well, that's where the head will start to shift over and when the hair starts to fall, that's where it starts to pile up and get the heaviest. So as I work through his haircut, I wanna separate top and bottom. And then this is kind of an area where Matt was complaining about as well because it starts to wing and flip out. So what I'll do is I'll cut into that just a little bit to help soften it. You gotta focus on that calic area to make sure that as I'm sectioning it, all this is kind of falling in natural fall and I'll work around that. So I'll show you guys that in a second. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna comb the hair back just like this. And we're gonna start working diagonal back hardings all the way through. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna be point cutting into his hair. My finger angle will mimic the parting. I'm gonna come through and I'm just gonna soften and take off about a half an inch of hair. And my elevation will go up right around the top edge of this. And the reason I start to raise my elevation is because I wanna soften that weight line that's gonna happen. If I don't elevate it and I just cut a straight line across like this, it's gonna get super heavy up there which is what it's already doing naturally. So what happened with Matt's hair here is that he's just been growing out a regular haircut. A regular haircut gets clippered here and it's short and it's all pretty much the same length or tapers and gets a little bit heavier with a clipper cut up at this top area. So when that grows out, you end up with a heavy kind of graduated feel which then turns a little helmety or mushroomy on the kind of on the end, back end of that. So what we're doing is we're just making that adjustment of cutting it into layers first and second, shifting my finger angle as I work towards the top of this section to then layer it instead of graduate it. Now the other thing with Matt's hair is that it gets a little fluffier feeling when it starts to dry. So as I go in and cut, instead of cutting a blunt line which will just make it fluffier, I'm actually going in and cutting a jagged line so that it'll lay nice and soft. So I haven't cut the nape area yet. I'm gonna move to the opposite side, work my way back to this point and then I'll go through the nape. So now this whole area all through here is nice and light before it was kind of poofing out. Now the heaviness is kind of on the bottom. What I wanna do is just go in and soften it a little bit. So I'm gonna use the tri razor for this part and this area is where we wanna work in. We want it to be nice and light because this is obviously the part that's gonna get long the fastest. You don't want it to be like a tail or a mullet. Vertical section I can see up above where I cut into it and I'm just gonna softly kind of work through. This will also make it fall nice and soft. So again, we cut the nape, we work those layers through then we've got the connection of these two sections.  Then I'll go through and blow it dry. See how much weight we've taken out and how much weight we still need to remove. This is a texturizing scissor. The reason I like this one is this one has a blade at the bottom. So what I do is I use that blade to kind of guide through the hair and I'll cut these kind of diagonal slices through it. But that's gonna do is again, remove some weight from this haircut and just soften it. So what I like is that right now we don't have a huge buildup of weight. You can see the texture and the layers. That's kind of what we want. We don't want that helmet look. We wanna flatten all this out. So just going in using the texturizing scissor add a diagonal to work through this nape area and kind of separate it a little bit. All right, so now I'm moving through the top guys. I do not wanna cut really any length off the top because that's the part that is gonna need to grow. But at the same time, it's gonna be the heaviest part too. So I wanna lighten it up around the edges, a lot of point cutting and just working through it. Also this fringe that kind of comes across in the front with Matt here, it gets super thick right in this area. So that's where I wanna cut into it. So a couple different things I'm gonna do. I'm gonna work through the top point cutting and then when I get to the front I'm actually section it away and work through it. Vertical section through the top, point cut, cross, again keep that length. So I come across the top and I section and I just let a little bit down at a time. What that do for me is just kind of let me work each section and make sure I figure out exactly where it feels heavy. So I'm going in here a little point cutting and then I let it fall back and I see how is it laying. Now it's laying nice and soft. So I just continue that all the way through, almost cutting like a round section. Open it up his face a little bit, just through here. Put it into it. Now look at this gap here. This is another thing that happens when you're growing out a shorter haircut. It takes on the form of the head shape. So where the temple kind of comes here, there's a disconnect on the fringe. So I'm gonna work into that. So I'll actually take that away as I'm cutting in and point cutting this because I want this from the recession point down. I want that to fall nice. I don't want to take any length off of that fringe area. The fringe will do last. So now we're in the fringe area. This is really heavy right here. So I'm gonna come across, bring this section over to me. I'm gonna start cutting my line across the front.  So, and I don't want to take length off here, but I just want to clean up the sideburn area, make sure it all blends and then we'll do the same thing in the back nape. So right here, just kind of start working those lines in. I don't take the length right away, comb that forward, work up. Then when I get it there, then I can take my comb, put it under, tighten up that sideburn. Now in the back nape, can lift up his hair and I'll just kind of work the clipper or the trimmer up underneath. I still want to keep this kind of fringier look. I just want to cut those little kind of loose, curlier hairs underneath. Now that I've shampooed him, kind of gotten all the loose hairs out, I'm in control of the hair at this point. So now I can kind of take a look again at that outer perimeter and just see where we're at. Then we'll start to style it and do any more cutting that we need to do. The other thing that I like to do is because his ears, like I don't want to cut them out too much, but I do want to tighten up the area around the ears a little. So what I'll do is I'll take a triangle out from where the ear is and that's where I'm going to tighten things up. We'll come across here, section down, that. And I'll section back off of the ear as well. And then this is the area that I'll assess. What I want to do is just take some of this hair. I'm just going to move a little bit tighter. So almost like concave in a way, just collapsing right above the ear and just allowing some of that length to play into it.  My tip of my finger here towards my body, we'll cut a little shorter towards the interior. This is a good technique for pixie cuts as well. So right here in the temple area, I see a little extra length and what I want to do is I kind of want to connect. This is the fringe here and it comes down and goes up a little bit. So what I want to do is just kind of connect in some of these pieces. So I can see where that goes up, slide my scissor up. I'll just disconnect a couple of these pieces to go in and connect to the rest of the cut. Just little details that I like to work in there because I feel like it brings everything together. So the last bit before we blow it dry is this nape area. So this to me, when I was cutting into it, just got a little fuzzy and doesn't need to be this long at this point. So I'm just going to take just the edge of it off, take a little extra off the back nape area, little steady grip. I'm going to put this throughout his hair and that'll help me with that kind of poofiness that can happen with longer men's hair. So that'll help control it a little bit. But obviously the cut at this point kind of controlled that as well. So like the biggest challenges he was having was the bulkiness here. You can see how it's laying a lot flatter. But then as we pull this fringe over, that's something I definitely want to work on now. You can see the side profile, got a little bit longer length, but then up through here, this is all layered kind of textured through. So I'm going to do a little bit more point cutting. So this is the hardest part about this cut, guys, is that it's not, I mean, I can give you tips to cutting, but it's going to be different with everybody that you cut. So he's going to wear it forward. If you wore it back, so I just kind of push it around. The biggest thing for me is that Matt has an easier time doing his hair when he leaves me, right? You'll see me push his hair kind of all over the place where I think he might push it and wear it. And then that way I can kind of determine at that point if he's going to have a hard time or not.


Hey everyone she bear 1,000 here today We have fan mail I'm gonna open this up see what it is. I know who it's from, but I don't know what it is You're not gonna know either cuz I'm gonna put it in the title So it's gonna be a surprise for you, too.

I sent him a Tripod he said he didn't have a tripod so you know what money as tight as it is nowadays I've got plenty so I said him a vintage one that I had that I used I used it behind my Computer for like live streams and stuff. So I sent that to him. He really appreciated it So let's see what we got here. So All right, we have Hot wheels. I have a couple hot wheels in the garage Something on my lens. This is a 1940 Ford From Dearborn, Michigan From the Ford Motor Company slammed with fat tires in the back and smoothed out with no bumpers or headlights or No bumpers or handles This hot rod or favorite was made for cruising to the drive-in or showing off on the main drag which When we would take handles off these cars Because I before I was YouTube and in my younger days. I built a lot of hot rods and stuff We would call like taking the door handles off. We would call them shaved We would shave the door handles and we would put fringe tail lights in them and stuff like that So that's pretty cool. Thank you Dennis.  So here we go. Oh, that's cool.

You can't just jump to the end product of the finished part of it. What got that set up in all the little motions and detailed things in it? The good thing is with technology now, you can break this stuff down, watch it over and over and over and analyze it. Going off the near side, near side, near side. So I want to be able to attack both sides of the body.  Left side, right side, depending on the leg, what you're comfortable with, single, high crotch, it's the same on top. If I can only turn to one side of the body, it limits me. So I'm going to go off a near side chop. Near side chop means as soon as I go and I go to chop, this guy goes long, basically tries to fight for chop. When he's on top, I get that arm straight, back pressure, so it stops my chop. So if I go to chop, he kind of goes long, just kind of locks that out. Where this move will come into play.  Again, everything that I'm trying to do is weaken his body. So if I attack his head, I've got to turn this head to make his body weak.  He's going to feel pressure all the way down. But at the same time, I have to have awareness that I'm not locking his body out. And what I mean is at the end of the day, I'm trying to go for a near side cramp. If I don't allow this knee to come up, I can't get my near side cramp. Go ahead and give me a hand. When I turn here, I'm trying to get his knee to pop up to the ceiling here by what I'm doing with pressure. If I don't take pressure off for something that I'm doing, this knee will never come up. So you've got to understand this concept of what I'm trying to do. And I want to show you that before we get there. So as I chop, and he back pressures into me, I'm going to keep my tight waist, and I'm knee bumping him. And I'm going to keep knee bumping him as I attack this head. And this is the move, basically, the head. Attack on the head. Guys are going to come here. You're going to grab the chin, and you're going to do this. It won't work. Other guys are going to do this. It's not going to work. I want to hold the head like a football. You guys that play football are just around the beach. Same concept. So I attack this head right here. And I'm going to take my elbow, and I'm going to try to pull it to my hip. The pressure of doing this in my tight waist is going to bring this knee up by me pulling to me here. Right now, if I stay where I'm at, he can't bring that knee up. But if I open my own hips right here, and this knee comes to the ceiling, and I keep pulling, he can open this knee, and I can get my lock right here by what I did. So it goes knee down, knee up, knee down, knee up. I open the door, and I allow this knee to come up to get my lock.  I keep this tight waist constantly, and I'm driving. If I'm really doing this, I'm pulling on a deep tight waist, and I'll also have the knee blocking the back. Because he's trying to stop me from chopping, so he's back pressuring it. The pressure together makes this move work. The combination of all this pressure makes this work. So as I attack this head, my elbow is going to come to my hip. And if I'm in a match, and I don't like this, I'm going to go as hard as I can to really get this knee to pop up. But I won't do it to him because he's my partner. But I'm going to pull this to my hip. I feel this knee starting to come up, I'm going to release. Yes. See what he did? He brought this up because it hurts, right? There's a lot of pressure going to your back. All I'm going to do now is come underneath him and get my lock. Elbow's going to go tight. Here. Elbow's going to go tight. Right here. You'll see some things I'm doing. Here. You bring that knee up, no other knee inside. Here. Once I get my lock, if I keep this elbow, go ahead and bring your head up, head and chest up, I'm not going to be able to turn him, right? So I have to make sure before that gets there, it's too late at this point, if I go ahead and drop that head. Because I've already blocked it off, right? And I get my lock, bring that knee up here. As soon as I get this lock, I'm basically taking my forearm almost over his head if I can get there. If I can't, then I'll just settle for my elbow over his head. And this stays tight to my head. If that head comes out, I'm done with this cradle, basically. So I have to make sure I protect myself. This controls the move, right? Head position. Same thing on our feet. Whoever has better head, on the head position, a lot of times it's going to win. Same thing here. If I don't control his head, he's going to win this position. Chop. Attack the head. I'm ripping him. Pulling, pulling, pulling. He brings that knee up. I come out and I get my lock right here. Boom. This is tight. All right? He goes flat. We're going to go into a finish from here. All right? There's a lot of different things to do on the finish. I want you to get this lock and then we'll come back and work on the finish. Set this up one more time. All right? Near side, far side. So now that we're resting on it, I can chop here. All right? I can chop. Attack. Bring this pressure. Pull, pull, pull, pull. Knee comes up. I sneak. I get my lock. Keep that head in tight. All right? Get the lock and then we're going to do a couple finishes. All right? Let's go. One, two, three, four, five.


See behind me the Massachusetts General Hospital? This is the building that houses the ether dome. So follow me now and we're going to go into the ether dome. We're here today at the ether dome to talk about strange sleep. It has been said that perhaps no advance in medical knowledge has alleviated more human suffering than the discovery of anesthesia. And today we stand on the grounds that birthed this discovery. Boston and more specifically Massachusetts General Hospital provided both the characters and conditions that enabled the scientific intrigue as well as the platform for demonstration of the efficacy of a variety of compounds. This history did not occur in a vacuum but rather was the culmination of numerous efforts by practicing clinicians contributing to the arc of discovery. Featured prominently in the development of this discovery of strange sleep were a pair of New England dentists, Taurus Wells and William Thomas Green Martin. A groundbreaking event which preceded Wells and Martin includes the fact that Crawford Long, a surgeon in Georgia, administered sulfuric ether. This occurred in 1842 but his findings went unpublished until 1849. In 1842, Horace Wells took William Martin first as his student in his practice then his partner. Wells had begun his practice in Hartford, Connecticut in 1836. Martin who was born in Massachusetts and trained for dentistry in Baltimore, Maryland married a woman on her father's condition that he quit dentistry and go to medical school which he did do beginning in 1844 but never completed. Although Wells tried to form a practice with Martin the new partnership lasted only a short time. In Hartford, Connecticut in December 1844 Wells attended a demonstration of laughing gas, nitrous oxide. This demonstration was put on by a showman Gardner Quincy Colton who had briefly studied medicine. Wells noticed one of the volunteers inhaling the gas had entered his leg during the demonstration and the man seemed unaware that he had suffered an injury. The very next day Wells asked Colton to come to his office and administer nitrous oxide to him while Wells associate John Riggs extracted one of Wells' teeth. Wells felt not as much of a prick of pain and believed that he Colton and Riggs had invented painless dentistry. After Colton taught Wells how to administer the gas Wells performed a dozen painless procedures over the next several weeks. Excited and increasingly encouraged with the success of each procedure Wells decided to demonstrate painless dentistry in Boston. This demonstration took place in June 1845 at the Massachusetts General Hospital before a group of Harvard medical students. During the demonstration the patient moaned as if in pain and the audience jeered and drove Wells from the lecture hall even though the patient attempted to explain that in fact he was not in pain. Despite the setback Wells continued nitrous oxide in his practice and fully shared his discovery with area dentist. The event in Boston temporarily deterred Wells from further attempts to publicize his successes nationally. Meanwhile Martin in 1846 appeared in this ether dome in Boston to demonstrate his compound. However he did not identify his anesthetic as being ether. Instead he called it lethion and applied for a patent for his substance. The ether dome was the site of the first public demonstration of the use of inhaled ether as a surgical anesthetic. The ether dome as it came to be called was an active surgical operating amphitheater in the Bullfinch building at Massachusetts General Hospital. This ether dome served as the hospital's operating room from its opening in 1821 until 1867. This demonstration took place on October 16, 1846 thereafter known as Ether Day. The Ether Day event occurred when William Thomas Green Martin a local dentist used ether to anesthetize the patient for John Collins Warner the first dean of Harvard Medical School. Dr. Warner painlessly removed part of a vascular tumor from his patient's neck and when the patient regained consciousness he reported that it feels as if my neck has been scratched. Warner then turned to the medical audience and announced gentlemen this is no humbug. Thereafter Martin quickly established a monopoly on painless dentistry in Boston. In contrast to Wells who's made efforts to share his knowledge Martin repeatedly tried to make a profit for his discovery but his attempts to claim sole discovery of anesthesia were denied. Both Horace Wells and Charles Jackson, Charles Jackson Martin's chemistry teacher at Harvard who had originally introduced Martin to ether challenged Martin's claim. As for Martin the promotion of his questionable claim to have been the discoverer of anesthesia became an obsession for the rest of his life and he would die a tragic and tarnished figure. Wells for his part sought further to strengthen his position by publishing a document entitled history of the discovery of the application of nitrous oxide in other vapors to surgical operation. He did this in 1847. In 1864 nearly 20 years later the American Dental Association followed by the American Medical Association in 1870 recognized Horace Wells as the discoverer of anesthesia. A universally accepted definition of a discoverer is one who first uses and then brings the facts and knowledge to the world and Horace Wells was the only inventor who completely fulfilled this definition. Although claims to singular discovery reinforce society's fascination with individual genius the astute historians of science note that it is not unusual for innovation to occur at a moment when several individuals sometimes with knowledge of each other's efforts and sometimes without such knowledge are simultaneously working along similar lines of effort. Discovery they emphasize is not typically an event but rather a process. Prior to 1846 little surgery was performed because the pain was intolerable. The brutality of this process extended to those who extracted teeth. Only opiates and alcohol combined with physical restraint. Physical restraint occasionally bordering on near strangulation. These were seen to be available for the patient. Clearly there was no anesthesia as we know it today. Thanks to America's pioneers in anesthesia today we experienced the highest level of comfort and safety when facing any type of surgery. It has been said that dentistry's greatest gift to medicine and even to mankind is the discovery and development of inhalation anesthesia. Paradoxically local anesthesia used ubiquitously in dentistry was introduced by a physician Dr. John Stuart Halstead. Dr. Halstead the first professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Dr. Halstead first demonstrated regional anesthesia delivering a mandibular block injection in 1884. In 1922 Dr. Halstead was honored to be the originator of regional anesthesia. There exists a subtle irony in the fact that a physician gave us dental local anesthesia and a dentist gave us general anesthesia. These scientific discoveries and their champions changed the operating theater in ways that were previously unimaginable. They risked not only their reputations but in many cases their lives in pursuit of this knowledge. From the late 19th century to the present the field of anesthesiology has continued to evolve. Refinements in anesthetic agents and armamentaria in the enhanced and rigorous education of those who deliver anesthesia have made the routine delivery of surgery possible. These refinements in anesthesia combined with minimally invasive surgical techniques will continue to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with surgery. Clearly history owes a great deal to those who championed the efforts to make this strange sleep possible.
