Over here we have the mail. It's for like paper mail. If you have like a big package, you're going to pick it up from the front office. And a good reminder that you will share your mailbox with your roommate if you have one. So your mail will go to the same box. Awesome. Where are we headed to next? The basement. Perfect. Some water fountains. Good place to fill your water. How many floors is Yocum made up of? I believe nine. Yes. Well, hello there. Hi. How are you? How are you? Good. Who are you? I'm Justynda. I'm going to be the SRA or the senior RA of Yocum next year. Perfect. Awesome. You're going to join us along the way? Yeah. Yeah. Well first, before we go, do you have any advice for incoming freshmen? First year students? When you move in, like that first eight week when people are hanging out, just don't be scared of people. Hang out with people. Introduce yourself. Our floors are super great for communities. So just keep your door open and say hi when people walk past. Awesome. Thank you. How long have you been with Yocum? I've been with you for three years. So super fun. I love it here. I ask to come back every year. So get excited. Yocum's awesome. Yay. Awesome. Let's go look at the snack area. We are in the basement, right? We are. Yes. Oh, and you have recycling. We have a recycling here. Is that important? Yes. I think every dorm or hall has a really awesome recycling spot. So you can use Apple Pay on these and get snacks before you go to class. It's awesome little corner, some monster in case you're tired. And what's your drink of choice? What's your condiment or convenience thing of choice? I got to say tea. Tea. Okay. Sweet or unsweet? Which old question? We're going to lift in sweet tea. Very southern. Awesome. So this is a basement common area. We have a phone booth here without phones. These are old. There's several of them though. And we have a kitchen over here. Small kitchen. Got your stove and oven. So we have another lounge area here. Pool tables, heat pond tables.  Well, not rent. More borrow. Yeah, check it out. Yeah, just leave your city ID card and they'll give you what you need. Awesome. You also out the windows, you have an amazing view of the hills over there and parking as well. Beautiful, beautiful. There's a TV. I bet do people watch series over here? Do they have like a Tuesday night, you know, certain show they come and watch together? I know a lot of halls have little groups of people that like to come and do that. Yeah, we do a lot of our programs down here. So once a month there's like all hall where the entire dorm gets together and we like eat free food, maybe get some free stuff, do crafts, watch movies. All the best stuff. We hang out a lot down here. All the free food. Awesome. All right. Can we head to Laundry? I know that's down here. Yeah, just a minute away. Just a minute away. Just around the corner. Any summer programming? You guys are streaming? Anything worth watching? Any recs? The Summer Artem pretty. Oh, what's that one? One of my friends is talking about that. The Summer Artem pretty. Watch it. What's it on? Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime. You've got a door span. I'm waiting to watch the second season, Yasmin, if you're watching this. I'm waiting to watch it, to watch with my RA friends when we all get back. So it's a friend show. You can't watch until... Yeah, we all watch it together and now we have to wait. Okay. It's a little bit loud, so we might have to speak pretty loud, but this is the Laundry Room. Tell us about Laundry. So you're in a download of the Speak Between app, so you get two loads per week. You want an additional load, you have money to your account. It's $1.50 each time, so three dollars total. You can wash and dry, but we shouldn't need to wash your clothes more twice a week. Yeah, and if you need to, you can pay a little bit extra, but yes, download the Speak Between app. That app, you will already have an account created for you with your UR email and information, so you just have to sign in. You don't even have to create an account. You just swipe, I believe it. Yes. Yep. And there's also the ice machine. That's awesome. All right. All right. So, can we go upstairs? Yeah. Headed upstairs. Someone said Floor 7 gang. How do you feel about Floor 7? I lived in Floor 7 two years ago. I love Floor 7. Are we going to Floor 4? I think we are, yes. We're going to Floor and touring some of the rooms there. That's okay. If you're living on 7 this year, you'll have an awesome girl named Mary as your RA. She's the best. You'll love her. If you're living here, send any questions you have in the chat. We're about to head up to one of the rooms. See people from Texas, some people from Dallas specifically. Lots of Texas people here, lots of Dallas people here. Brian Arkansas. Welcome, welcome. I like how Dallas covers more than just Dallas. Yeah. From the area, Dallas. Yeah. And then you're like, where are you actually from? So, we might briefly lose connection as we go up in the elevator. We might not. Just a heads up. Mind the gap too, as far as not dropping any funds down there. That happens frequently. I think it tastes fine. I always fill up my water bottle and this little thing. Yes. Yeah. Because this is filtered. Yeah. I don't, you ever use this part, which I guess you could, but I always just fill up right here or you can get a burn out. So, if you're not using the filter water, I will say our water comes from Beaver Lake and then as the season changes, the lake will, the bottom part will come to the top because of the change in the temperature and it will be a few days where the water is a little different. That's a natural process. Awesome. So, what room are we headed to? We can go check out the bathrooms first. Bathrooms first. Okay. Good, good. Let's go this way. Yeah, I think we've opened up some doors on this one. That's fine, I've been there. Okay, we just take a loop by the stairway. This is a co-ed building. Do you know how many nodes are here? Five hundred and some? Yeah, five hundred and some. So, pretty big community. It's about 50 per floor, right? It's 55. Yeah. So, we have two showers and two stalls. Let's peek in here just so people know. Yep, so two stalls. Rotate back. This is nice, you have a little changing area too. Have some privacy and a hook. Awesome. Yeah, so these are your showers that you'll be using in Yokum and there is two of them in each bathroom and I believe there's a bathroom on both sides of the hall and four sinks. We can take a pass through there. Okay. Because we've opened up one on the other side. Let's check out the pipe chase room first. Okay. Look at that. Look at that. That's not progress. Okay. This has got a stairwell on each side of the building. If the elevator is going too slow, people use the stairs. Be sure you lock it though on your Apple watch or your Fitbit. Yeah. Someone asked how does co-ed work by floor or by section? It depends on the floor. So, this floor right now is all guys and there's other floors like that as well. Some of the floor is like seventh floor. Half of the floor is guys and the other half is girls. So, it just kind of depends when we also have all-girl floors. So, it just depends on your floor. I'm not going too far. No, I think it's down. She knows. Well, I heard her lead the way. Yes. Long-term resident. Okay. So, first we're going to look at 417. This is one of two rooms we'll be looking at and this is called a pipe chase room. So, this is the special case scenario where there's this little pipe chase moment in the corner. These do come with a TV. I believe all of them do and tell us a little bit about it. So, you have a really nice view to the south. You can see the football stadium. It's only about 10 minutes of walking. Yeah. Really close. Really great view. How often do bathrooms get cleaned? I believe daily. Yeah. Twice a day and then on the weekends if something's like really out of the ordinary and RA it will clean. Yep. Awesome. Well, we are in a pipe chase room currently. So, if you have any questions about dimensions, make sure you send those in the chat. We can answer them while we're here before we move on to the typical rooms. Someone said no water filters, just nature. No, residents typically really like these rooms. They're really cozy. You can move the furniture around compared to our other rooms you can. So, you get like a rug, some lights. It's always really cozy and nice and the TV now thinks they can't beat that. You know, it doesn't take storage away. And this is room 417, right? Yes. Someone asked that again. We are in room 417. If this is your room, let us know if we're in your room currently for the fall. Yes. And this is the only type of room that has movable furniture. Someone said dimensions please. Make sure you specify what dimensions. But we can just real quick maybe get the window dimensions, which there is this little chunk in the corner. We'll also get the walls at a moment. Long reach. You got it? 10 feet. 10 feet, 7 inches and then maybe height. Yep. 4 feet, 11 inches. 4 feet, 11 inches and then let's also just get this counter. One foot exactly. One foot. Okay. And then could you somehow go from this wall all the way across? So maybe hold it up against the wall here. Oh, that works. Set it on the edge of the bed. Can you see where the dot's going? To the wall. Perfect. 11 feet, 9 inches. 11 feet, 9 inches. Yeah, seems all right. Roughly. Okay, someone asked about the space underneath the TV. So if we could just go from the bottom of the TV to the floor, that'd be great. And then maybe also the width of the wall. Five and a half feet. Five and a half feet. Awesome. The width of this wall, which is going to be hard. Let me come over here so you can put the dot on my hand from that side to this side. 3 feet, 8 inches. 3 feet, 8 inches roughly. Awesome. Well, if we don't have any other questions, this is 417. I think we're going to move on. How many outlets are there in here? Just real quick. Do we know? 1, 2, 3, 4. At least 4. At least 4. There might be 5 if one's hiding back here. I think there is, yes. So there is 5 in this room, which means there is 10 outlets. Awesome. Let's go. If you're just joining, let us know where you're tuning in from. And if you have any questions, we are now headed to room I believe for 419. So this is what most rooms will look like here in Yoko. Tons of built-in storage. Quick view. Someone asked about inside a closet. So right after we kind of get the view of the room, we will measure the closet for you. Once again, amazing views. And this is only the fourth floor. Imagine going up even higher. Yes. So these are the closets. Mirrors. All the storage. Okay. Now let's get those closets. So to this shelf, that's about 5 feet and 2 inches. And then how long is the pole for clothes? Yeah. All the way across there. 3 feet 10 inches. 3 feet 10 inches. Well, this little shelf, huh? How long? Yeah. 8 inches. 8 inches. And then the top one can you reach? 1 foot 8 inches. So 20 inches. Yes. So that first room we did tour, it was a pipe chase room. Someone asked, yes, that's what that was. And now we're in what the majority of the rooms will look like. Okay. Could you tell them about the 3D presentations they can find online? Yeah. Where they can measure things as well. Yeah. Let me flip the camera real quick. So if you go to housing.york.edu and scroll down. Halls. Go to Halls. Go to the Halls. Specific Hall. Yes. Down to the Explorer area of the page. Okay. So you go to the Explorer area of the page and there you can actually walk through all of the halls yourself. It's kind of a virtual, it's called Matterport. It's a virtual tour and you can even measure things in there for yourself. So if you have additional questions that we can't get to, that's a great place to look on our website that is something new and it's there just for you to use. Thank you. Yeah. Someone asked, can the bed be lifted before move in? Absolutely it can. And tell us about that. Put in a fix-it request or? Yeah. So just google fix-it york and then you can get to the little request portal. But you can just ask for them to have it lofted before you get here and you tell them a certain height or anything. And they'll typically try to get all those requests fulfilled but yeah it should be lofted. Yeah I believe there's a date. Do we know the date for that? You have to do it by the end of the month. By the end of the month. So if you want your bed lofted ahead of time before you get here that does need to be sent by the end of this month. But we will have rubber mallets and stuff for you at move in. If like you don't get that requested you can do it yourself super easily for just a rubber mallet and we'll have those available for you. Awesome. Any other questions about dimensions? I think we did get closet dimensions. Let's also get this counter right here. How deep is the counter? How comes the lofting? 5 feet 10 inches all the way across. And two feet. Two feet. Okay sorry what was that you were saying? The lofting is done with these little pins here and this one in particular can go from it does every three inches from 24 inches to 59 inches. Beautiful. And it's just if you want to turn it you have to knock it out with a rubber mallet turn this thing around if you want to hang it up high. Yes. So you can see here. So you can do it yourself or you know have a friend help you maybe a family member help you but we will do it in advance if you do that. Someone asked how high is the ceiling? Could we get from floor to ceiling? Yeah. Straight up to the ceiling here. All right. Eight inches exactly. Eight feet. Eight inches high ceilings now. Eight feet. Can we measure from the top of the bookshelf to the ceiling? Yes. So this shelf here to the ceiling. Exactly. Yeah exactly. Beautiful. Two feet. Yeah so you've got these built-in drawers here for your desk shelving and even cork boards since that's what this is behind the behind the bed top so that's awesome. You can also I've seen a lot of people buy fabric because they didn't like the color of this and just kind of cover it with whatever looked nice to them. Fabric and you just like pin it in and then you can take it off at the end of the year super easy. Yeah and then some people buy like little like command shelves for the size of this.  Yes. I mean it can get pretty messy in these closets. But it is a lot of closet space compared to most. Yeah it's huge. So yeah the curtain comes in handy. I use the curtain because I love it and then you know cute little decor for the shelves. Someone has an additional question about the bulletin board.  Either one. It does measure from the bottom of the device you're holding. Just so you know. Yeah from the very bottom. So you want the bottom of it to be at the height of the... you got it? Yeah yeah. It's three feet. Well that's the the dot's going down there. Put your hand at the bottom. There you go. That'll do it. You're good. So two feet exactly. Two feet and then one side to the other. One inches. Awesome. So almost three. One other note I'll make is that removable wallpaper is not allowed. Anything that would has a substantial chance of causing damage to the paint is not it's not allowed. We don't want to charge you for it and so we prohibitively say don't don't don't do removable wallpaper. Especially stuff that like sticks in the drawers. Like a lot of people do that. I was trying to see if there was someone here. It's usually on the girls floors but they stick it in the drawers and then you can't peel it off because even if it says it'll peel off but these are like very old wood. So like it'll just rip the drawer apart if you try. So maybe don't do that. Did you do lead hogs or anything for pick one when you were a first year? Yeah I was in lead hogs my freshman year. My freshman year was in 2020 so it was COVID but um yeah we did lead hogs and it was really really fun. Really good way to get involved. Um I learned a lot like leadership stuff and it got me involved as an RA so I really owe it everything. So that's awesome. Love lead hogs. And just so you guys know this is being recorded it'll be on our reels in Instagram and also on YouTube um later this week or next week very soon. So for instance if you want to know those closet measurements that we took you can watch this back and see what those were. How many outlets are in this room? I believe it's also five. Yes awesome. So can we maybe point out the location of those? One, two. Two over the desk. Two by the mirror. One hidden over here. Let's see if we can show that. Yeah on the ledge there and I believe is there also is that it? That's it. That's it. Okay so two on this wall and three on this wall. Any other questions you guys? We are in room 419. Thank you. This is Yocum Live. If you're just now tuning in if you want to send in the chat where you where you are where you're tuning in from and yeah okay someone asked how wide is the bed post um from the outside post from outside post to outside post. Okay so like the length of the bed if I'm understanding that correctly. Okay yes so this is three feet two inches and six feet four inches. Someone asked are there any single rooms in Yocum? Um I don't believe so this year. Only RAs get that. Yeah um so I think pretty much every room is a double this year just due to like the size of the freshman class and space needs. Yes awesome and I guess we can do this measurement one more time. Also quick mention there are these poles on the back of the door great for hanging your towels after you shower and that kind of thing. Um how deep if we could get is the closet. So from the very outside point to the wall that's going to be two feet one inch. Two feet maybe an inch roughly and then if we go from the shelf um to the wall can you see what that is so for your actual clothes yeah. The depth? Yeah one feet three inches. Awesome and for the full height you can also watch this back it'll be posted under reels very shortly after after this live. Awesome any other question you guys? Send them our way we are here just for you to measure things and if we did not um answer your question send it again because sometimes it can be hard to scroll that far back. I'll show you the view one more time. This is really nice the stadium yep all of it. Someone asked about Holcomb live um that did already happen and so you can check it out under reels on our page or on youtube it is in both of those locations you can watch that live um but that happened last week at some point maybe on thursday yes so Holcomb has already been live um measure from floor to the bottom of top shelf in closet okay yes we have already done that measurement um so right after this ends you can watch back and see how high that was awesome well any other things to add from you guys out here i think we're about to wrap it up top tip highly recommend i recommend i keep asking to come back so can't be that bad um yeah just come ready to go on moving it'll be hot but we'll all be you'll see me i'll be out there um yeah come say hi i'll be on the eight four i hear one thing again and again and again i'll just share this bit of wisdom with you shower shoes no bring shower shoes for sure people often forget that um one more question someone asked do any of the drawers in here lock um no they don't if you want a locking system you'll have to bring it yourself because we don't have anything that it can even like loop on yep yep you don't have the hardware that you can kind of twist right yeah because i'm going to show them real quick these are the handles to the drawers they're just these flat if you have a pipe chaser i think i'm not quite sure but i think the desk drawer you might be able to loop a lock in there because i lived in hots my freshman year and i think you could loop a lock in there don't we have safes available for people to get or something but you're they can bring your own safe too yeah yeah awesome well thank you guys for joining yokem hall live 2023 bye


Tucked inside the historic Brookline Savings Bank building, Greater Boston's first recreational marijuana dispensary, New England Treatment Access, or as customers call it, NETA. Some residents don't like the way the neighborhood has changed since NETA began selling recreational marijuana in March. HUNDRED signed a petition to hold a special town meeting November 19th to discuss increasing the town's cannabis regulations. They also got 877 signatures. You only need 200 to put on a special town meeting in 24 hours. It's unheard of. Petitioners want the dispensary to close to retail customers two or three hours earlier and have appointment-only sales to reduce noise, lines, and traffic.  NETA said in a statement they have responded to resident complaints. Brookline Police have reported crime has not increased in the area, although resident nuisance reports have gone up. But not all residents want more regulations. Yeah, I think the regulations are fine. I think making reservations ahead is good. And it will just make things worse. This isn't about NETA. It's not about the product. It really is about the size of the operation. Brookline residents and customers have mixed feelings about potential new regulations. In Brookline, for Bnew Service, I'm Antonia DeBionchi.


With such negativity around nursing and all of the press and you hear about qualified nurses leaving the profession I wanted to gather some of my favorite people to make a completely positive amazing video The just shows actually why do we stay? Why are we in this still with all the negativity and everything? Why do we know? I love the excitement I've not known what every day will bring. You wake up one morning You don't know what you're gonna get, what patients you're gonna meet and I love the ups and the downs The connection that you make with people, get to know the story, especially in community, can really build up a rapport with patients Get to know them and their families and you're going into their home So we have to have a good relationship I love that you just never stop learning every single day as a learning curve I'm excited for the Respect of all the post-grad options that you can have the opportunities that arises for you once you graduate It's just unreal and the feeling that you get at the end of the day when you know that you've given a good care That is what makes me nurse Hello, my name is Charlotte Hall and I chose to be a nurse because I feel like it's the most humbling profession in the world I feel like it's an absolute privilege to be a nurse. It's something I don't take lightly at all It's an absolute honor to be able to be there at the best and worst times of somebody's life and that instant connection and that instant Trust that you have between a patient and a nurse is just incredible And I feel like it really restores my faith in humanity my faith in community and the nursing community As a whole I find as a second family. I feel like I Trust in my colleagues. I trust in my peers. I look up. I'm inspired by people. I work with them inspired By people around me day to day and so to have that as a job It's more than a job. I don't go to work. Just to work. I go to work to nurse. Why do I nurse? I nurse because I've been on the receiving end of amazing nursing care myself Well, I think back to a year ago. I was really unwell in hospital and during my stay It was the nurses who made a really big impact on me So much so that I chose to change career and become a nurse And I think how they made me feel as a patient really inspires me to want to do everything I can for patients in my care in future and to give them the best experience that they can have Hello, my name is Nikki Abel and I'm a multiple sclerosis specialist nurse. Why do I like nursing? I like nursing because I love my patients I've been really privileged that I've been an MS nurse for more than 20 years And so I've spent 20 years with some of my patients and I know them really really well And I think as nurses we can make such a big difference to patient care We can look at them Symptomatically and we can enable people to live better with a long-term condition like MS We can talk to patients about what's on offer in connection with symptoms And then they can make choices about which of the strategies they they want to take on board We can make a real big difference to people's fear and anxiety Because some people are really frightened of living long-term with a condition that can make them disabled And we can make a real big difference to them as nurses because we sit and listen We don't always have to come up with strategies to help, but we can sit and listen and that makes a difference And I'm also really lucky that I'm not only a specialist nurse and I'm a lecturer in a university And I'm able to lecture student nurses, which is fantastic Because student nurses are hungry for knowledge, they're hungry to know more And they really seem to appreciate the fact that I've got some long-term experience as a nurse And it's really wonderful to be able to discuss Perhaps anatomy and physiology and start to see these student nurses begin to make sense of what we're talking about And let's face it if we can make student nurses really well educated It's going to make patient care all the better Hello there, my name is Jake, I'm a student nurse at the University of Southampton I'm in my final year and most of my final placement at the moment I just wanted to tell you why I'm such a big fan of nursing and why I've got such a love for it And it really boils down to two things, I've got a love for people and a love for problem solving And as a nurse you're in a unique situation where you actually have to be balancing both of these at the same time Coupled with the fact that you're working with people in some of the most vulnerable moments in their entire lives And also working with their families It's truly an honorable position to be able to wake up every day, go to work and truly spend every moment every day Commit to helping people get out of hospital in a healthy state and also making sure that when they do go home That they're not going to be coming back Of the facts about nursing that I really love is just the wide range of physiological things you're going to see The body really is poetry, emotion and it's one of the things that really draws into nursing So I hope that's interesting, so yeah, men in nursing! I nurse because I want to make a difference to somebody else's life I genuinely genuinely love helping other people and I've been like that since probably since I was born I grew up just always wanting to help people and that's the one thing that truly honestly makes me happy in life I feel better if I'm making somebody else's life better and that's one of the reasons why I do what I do And I just, I'm not good at anything else, yeah okay I'm creative and I like to write poems sometimes I like to do it all, I like to do all these other things but you know what I'm really good at is nursing It's all I want to do, it's where I see my whole entire career ahead of me And I just, I wouldn't be anywhere else because sometimes you know you could be having the worst day ever Everything's going wrong and there's just that one patient at the end of the day who just holds your hand They look at you and they smile and they say thank you for absolutely everything that you've done for them And it just, it melts your heart and you just know that you've done an amazing job And that's why I do this, I do this for the patients, I see what a difference I make to my patients and the colleagues around me But what really stands out for me is that feeling you get inside your soul and your heart When you've given someone that amount of care And they're just so grateful that you're the person that's come to them and provided them with that care The compassion and the commitment and there's just no other feeling in the world, it's so rewarding It's the most loveliest feeling and this is why I do it, I don't do it for anything else I don't do it for the money, I don't do it for the thanks or the praise I do this because it makes me feel good, not only am I making my patients feel good My colleagues feel good because I try and be positive around them and motivate them and encourage them I do this because I love it, I don't want to be anywhere else other than nursing


In this video, I will explain to you how to use your focus to achieve your goals and where do most successful people spend most of their time in terms of their time and their thinking and their attention. So I have friends that are doing self-development, that are trying to improve their lives. And what I've noticed that is very consistent with them, especially those that don't move forward, that are maybe moving very slowly, is the principle of attention creates energy, like where attention goes, energy goes, is always there. So you see those people, they kind of move forward and then back, and then they move forward and then back. And it's kind of like this, it's kind of like improving and then falling, and then improving and then falling, and then improving and then falling. It's very slow. It almost looks like it's a crawling way, whereas most of the time in my life and in people that I associate with, I see that success looks more like this, looks more like an upward rise and then like this. Now why do some people grow like this and some people grow like that? Well my speculation is that it's about focus. Where do you put your attention on? So most successful people put their attention 80% on the future and 20% on the present, meaning they put almost all their attention on where they want to get. How will I use what I learned to move forward? What are my goals? Where am I trying to go? Almost always just moving forward, moving forward, just looking ahead as if you're driving and you're all paying attention to where you're trying to get. And 20% of their attention is on the now, is like how do I solve this problem right now? Sometimes things now are stopping you from moving forward, but notice again, most successful people spend most of their time on the future. Look at unsuccessful people, look at people that don't really get forward, don't move forward or move forward very slowly. What happens is, let's take somebody who's in self-development, they have some win, they do something really, really well. What happens now, they talk to their friend like, oh look what I did, I did this and this happened and talk about the past and they celebrate it. It happens so often right now with people that I associate with, people that I talk to, again that are in self-development but are not really moving in that way, where I kind of push them to take massive action. I push them to move faster and what happens is they get a win, so they get like a win.  They go like, oh Robbie, I did this and I did that. And I always cut them off. I always tell them, stop the focusing on your past, stop talking about what happened. You know, you want to talk about what happened? Let's talk about how you can take what happened and use it for the future. Use it to leverage yourself in the future. Notice how much time you spend talking about this happened and this happened. Even if it's good, even if what happened was a good thing, you're paying too much attention to it. Successful people don't spend any time on the past. They don't focus on it, they don't think about it, whether the past was good or the past was bad. They only use the past to get lessons to move forward. So only as a learning tool and even then, only in very specific times that are dedicated to learning from the past. Most successful people spend their time learning in the present. So they take action, they see what happens, they adjust quickly and they move forward. And it's always thinking, where do I want to get and what's in front of me? Exactly like when you're driving a car.  Of course not. You're going to crash. So what do you do? Most 100% of your time looking forward and 20% looking at stuff in front of you, like obstacles and stuff that you need to take care of right now that are not in front of the destination, but they're sort of in the way. And you almost spend no time looking in the back because why would you look in the back? It doesn't help you. It doesn't promote you in any way. So start catching yourself. Start looking at where am I focusing on the past. This happened and he did this and he did that. And start diverting your attention to the future. Start focusing more on the promising future. I don't even care if you dread the future, but put your most of your attention on the future and on the obstacles that are in your way to get there. Spend as little or no time at all on the past and what happened. Again, whether it was good or bad. Do this. Actually change your focus and make a big shift in terms of your attention and you'll start seeing massive changes in your life. You'll stop moving back all the time because you're focused on moving forward.  So what happens is they can only see forward so they only move forward. If you lost your, imagine if you lost your ability to look back. If you lost your ability to think about the past, if the past just disappears and never exists again. And the only thing you can focus on is the future because the present moves so fast, you know, you can only get a glimpse of it and then oh, it's gone because let's be in the present. Okay. And this is the present and I was gone. Now there's no more present now in the future. So put more, most of your attention on the future. Imagine again, you have blinders. You can only look forward. Do this for a month and you'll see miracles in your life. I hope this message greets you well. I hope you learned a lot from it. Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to subscribe and share and like this video and check out a evolution of a maniac, the book which details my life story and the biggest epiphanies that I learned in the description for just 999.

We're currently working on a session focusing on sport and ICT for the ITU event in Doha. ICT permits sport events from the construction phase through the preparation of the event and finally to the production of the event, both from the perspective of the operation of the event and of course for what you know best, the experience we can deliver to the fans whether they are sitting in the venue or enjoying the event remotely. You will get direct insights from practitioners having worked on many mega events including the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup. So please consider to come to enjoy and raise as many questions as you wish.


Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Adrian Nixon of Investor Intel about the global graphene market. How are you today, Adrian? I'm very well, Tracy. How are you? I'm fantastic. And you know what? Graphene is so interesting, but of course many people out there don't actually know what graphene is. Do you mind if we just start with a basic question and can you tell our audience what is graphene? Yeah, sure. First of all, it's carbon. So it's the same stuff that's in pencils, graphite, or diamonds, or coal or soot. It's just the way it's arranged. So graphene tends to arrange itself in hexagonal sheets and it's what forms the graphite in graphite pencils. So lots of little sheets stacked up on top of one another. Graphene is one of these individual sheets that you can separate out and do fantastic things with. Of course. And speaking of fantastic things you can do stuff with, can you tell us why graphene is so important? Because that's what we want to talk about. I'll see. Yeah. Well, the first thing is it's 200 times stronger than steel, which is big enough as it is. And then you've got the fact, couple of this with the fact that it is the world's best electrical conductor. It also conducts heat better than any other material. It's also the world's thinnest material too. So it's incredibly strong, flexible, very thin, about a million times thinner than a human hair. So if you can imagine a sheet of this stuff would be one atom thick, so you barely see it shimmering. And you could put a two kilogram cat in the middle of this if you made a hammock of it. And it would just float there, supported almost by nothing. It's that strong and flexible. Great stuff. Lots of potential. Defense applications are just one of the applications for this wonder material. Yeah, you could make aircraft parts out of it. So you could make very light, very strong aircraft. You could also coat the surface of the ships, the hulls. And graphene is something called super hydrophobic. It reduces the drag of a ship by 35 percent. Just imagine what that does for fuel consumption. And how is it made that it's incredibly easy and incredibly hard at the same time. I've got this pencil, you know, it's graphite. So imagine lots of little layers of graphene all stuck together that make up graphite. So it's rather like the individual pages of this report, which we might come to in a bit. And so when you're drawing a pencil line on the surface of paper, you can drag it along the line and then gradually just release the pressure slowly, slowly, slowly. And what's happening is individual pieces of graphene are shearing off the graphite and somewhere along that faint part of the line, you've actually got a piece of graphene. So it demonstrates about this really easy to make. The problem is, well, what do you do with it? That's the hard bit. How do you get useful quantities of this stuff? Getting the usable quantities of graphene then is quite a challenge. There are two methods of making it because the top down method and the bottom up. And the top down method starts with graphite. You either smash it to pieces in a blender with various solvents and you can get lots of platelets in solution, which you can then dry as a powder. Or you can use electrochemical techniques to get the powder, graphene powder straight out in one go. Another way of making it is the bottom up way, which is actually assembling it atom by atom on a metal surface. It sounds complicated, but basically you get hot methane and very hot hydrogen at low pressures and copper surface. Don't try this stuff at home. And then gradually a layer of graphene will build upon the surface. And once the surface is covered, it stops growing. So you end up with a single atomic layer and that's roughly how the two methods work. And of course, the race is on to produce graphene and the numerous technologies. And your report, for instance, you know, I assume there would be a lot more companies. Approximately how many companies worldwide are producing graphene right now, Adrienne? There are about 63 companies worldwide making graphene and different claims for it. About 70 percent of them are using the top down approach, about 30 percent are making it by the bottom up approach. And they're based mainly in America, China. Europe has a good showing as well, as does Canada. And the UK, obviously, where graphene was first discovered, has a strong showing too. So lots of people are in a race to try and make this stuff around the world at the minute. And of course, there's a lot of people in the race to try and make graphene. Can you tell me what the state of the art manufacturing techniques are currently? What processes are leading? Very good point. State of the art, really, in terms of the quantity is firmly on the top down side. So there are a lot of people around the world making by the top down method. And it's fairly easy to do in chemical terms, but the the quality side of things to actually get a large surface area sheets of graphene. And when I say large, I'm talking about the area of maybe a postage stamp, something like that. They're usually on the metal side. So this is the bottom up approach depositing on copper or silicon carbide. And there aren't very many people successfully making the minute. The trick is everybody's after something which is manufactured on the scale of a carpet, let's say. And everybody assumes when people announce they're making graphene that they're reeling this stuff off in great roles. Nothing could be further from the truth. Actually getting proper true graphene made on a large scale is a very difficult challenge. And not many people have cracked it yet. I would guess Manchester in the UK is probably in the lead at the moment based on the research I've done so far. But there's lots of people chasing one another around the world. Well, speaking about around the world is the top global graphene expert. Adrian, I want to thank you for joining us today. And we're going to be speaking with you regularly. Thank you. My pleasure. Take care.


buddies, this is gonna be a reseller vlog. I'm gonna tell you the things that I'm shipping out. I'm gonna show you one of the items I sold and we're gonna talk about a big money Bolo. So there's also gonna be a Bolo category video thrown in here. I'm also gonna show you how to search solds to know if an item actually sold or not and how to figure it out if you don't know how to do that because I think a lot of times people search solds and they are misinformed because they're not doing it right. So we're gonna talk about that and then we're just gonna talk about some other miscellaneous things as I pull stuff and I'm gonna answer a question that one of my viewers asked in a comment on one of my videos. So stay tuned for that. Lots of information jam packed into this video. I don't know how short it's gonna be but it is a reseller vlog. So thank you for being here. I would love for you to subscribe and let's get started. Hey Bolo buddies, thanks for watching. All right, we are gonna do a reseller vlog with a focus on a Bolo. So I'm gonna show you what I'm shipping out today and then we're gonna talk about a big money Bolo that you need to be on the lookout for. But the reason we're talking about this Bolo is because I sold something and many of you are gonna remember it. It was in one of the weirdest places I've ever sourced videos. Do you guys remember that one? It looks like this. Definitely go check out that video to hear the whole story about this item. But let's get into what I sold on Saturday. All right, also I wanted to talk to you guys about tonight. I'm having my what not show and it's gonna be a jewelry show but what I did during my last show and if you missed it, you can check out the replay right here is I threw in some cool vintage figurines and I'm gonna do that again tonight. So every so often during the show I'm gonna grab probably a Made in Japan item. I love Made in Japan and I sourced a whole bunch of amazing items and I'm gonna be mixing those into the show tonight. So just to spice it up, keep it exciting, mostly gonna be jewelry but probably I'm gonna say up to 10, maybe a few more. So this is a tote full of mostly Made in Japan amazing items. So this belt obviously is not Made in Japan and this picture is obviously not Made in Japan but some of these cute little items. Oh my goodness, like look how darling she is. I kept them all wrapped in paper. Now look at these. I think I'm gonna bring these tonight. What it says is, there was a little piece of paper attached to it but this is like the cutest little turtle. I think it's just like a little trinket bag or you could put jewelry in it but it says silk turtle bag. So apparently I guess this fabric is silk, I don't know. It's kind of textured or I don't know if I'd call it flocked. I'd say it's textured but look it's a little turtle, whatever it's made of that's what they said it was made of. Whoever put the tag on it, they said it's silk. So I have the turtle and I have the swan. So how darling are these? And they're just little bags. So you can use them for whatever you want but I am gonna bring these to what not tonight. So I hope to see you guys at the show because I'm gonna bring some cuteness but again, it's mostly gonna be jewelry with a mixture of some little things like this that are just really, really cute but these are all these paper are wrapped. Wrapped up breakables, you guys know I love breakables not really but these are small enough and easy enough to ship with the jewelry that I think it'll be a fun element to add to my show. So check out my last show at that video that I showed you guys to kind of see how I mixed those items in and kind of see an example of some of the items that I was bringing. Here's a little Santa made in Japan. Kind of looks like he's sitting on a toilet. Now that's not a toilet, that's a chair. He's sitting in a chair getting ready to see a little kid and ask him what they want for Christmas.  So I hope to see you at my what not show tonight. You guys, if you're not following me, I'm Bolo Buddies over there, all one word lowercase. I would love to see ya. And if you're not on what not already you can use my referral code down below in the description. I'll try to remember to put it in the comments as well and you'll get $15 to shop. So that's free money to use. You can use it to buy something from me or someone else. But let's take a peek at something that happened. Do you guys remember this amazing shelf that I picked up? Wow, you notice it's empty. And by the way, see these dusty dishes? These are dishes that I bought. I don't know how long ago. I'm like, I love these. I'm gonna ship these. I'm gonna sell these. I can't even remember what brand they are. I don't know, what is that?  So these have been sitting here for like, I don't know how long, years, years. You can see they have dust on them. And then you have these, which are also incredible. And I heard that these came from a local restaurant near me. And you guys, I'm talking like probably, I don't know, five, seven years. And my husband's like, why don't we use them? And I'm like, well, it's just plates. So I could list these as singles. And I would be willing to ship that, but I just, you know what? They just keep sitting here. They just keep sitting. So that's where they're gonna sit. So I just got squirrel moment, sidetracked. So let's go back to my shelving unit. While I had this was, I had jewelry that I was going to sell in singles on the top. And then I had jewelry here in the middle that was small lots jewelry. And then I had all my crafters jewelry down here. Well, guess what happened guys? It got so heavy that it literally bent and came out of the rail here. So guess what? I got to figure out how I'm going to best use this amazing rack that I picked up at a garage sale because how I was using it definitely was not working. My jewelry is now back in totes until I figure out what I'm gonna do. This is all crafters, all crafters. I have done some small bundles, you know, where I show like two pounds of jewelry and then we go on to another lot. Do you guys want me to do a what not crafters show of just crafters lots? Let me know down in the comments. Or would you like me to mix those into my regular shows? I know a lot of you craft and a lot of these items, some of them just need repurposed. Some of it's wearable, but I feel like it's just not something that I wanna bring. Like these earrings are on the original tag here, but there's a little bit of discoloration here. So somebody could maybe do something with that, craft with it. So lots and lots of crafters items, but I'm just not sure. I mean, look how great these colors are. I'm just not sure, but I was thinking like one to two pound lots and showing those at the end of the show could be maybe a way to unload some of this to people who need it, who like to repurpose items. This is all just a huge bag of beads. I think it's a court-sized bag of just different beads that I found. All right, fellow buddies. So I also did a what not sale where I created bundles. Bundles of 10 to 15 pieces of jewelry that all kind of look good together. So whether or not a reseller's buying this or somebody is buying it to wear the jewelry, I don't know and it really doesn't matter to me. I'm just building beautiful lots for you guys to check out and purchase if you like. This is the video that I put out that shows you all of the different bundles from the last show. And then here is a replay of the live show if anybody wants to kind of check out the format. Now, somebody was saying, I was like, I don't know if people are gonna wanna see this. And somebody told me it's educational for people that are on what not that are looking for different ideas. And I'm like, I never thought about that. And it also is teaching different ways to sell things. Now I could also list these lots on eBay. So if you have a surplus of jewelry and you're not on what not, you could do bundles like this on your selling platforms and just price them accordingly. So I guess it is educational in that way, but I wanted to let you guys know I am having another show like this. If you liked that one, I know so many of you came over and purchased and watched that show, but on July 30th, here's the pop-up of my what not at 10, 15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, I'm doing another show like this. A lot of you say you can't make it to my shows because it's so late. I am doing where it's preloaded. There's 21 bundles up right now. I'm not gonna show you those today, but I may show them to you in a future video. I'm not sure how many I'm gonna do, but right now there's 21 up. They are available for pre-bids. So if you can't make the show, you can go and put in your highest bid and you may win the item. So a lot of people did pre-bids. I think every bundle had a pre-bid at my last show, which is amazing. Thank you guys all so much for the support. So head over to my what not, click on the July 30th show, click on the house and go into the, I think it's auction tab and you'll be able to see all of those bundles if you wanna see it before I do the preview. All right, you guys, thanks so much. All right, Bola Buddies, let's talk about beaded vintage purses. And I wanna show you the top selling ones to look for. Now, are these gonna be easy to find? Probably not, but Bola Buddies, this first item is the one we're gonna kind of focus on in this video. Let's dig through this tote, which is always a good time. This one is stuffed full. Oh, I keep track. Here is my tote system. These all have letters on them. This is my letters room. So this is in tote F. So what I do then is it's under my custom SKU. So now I gotta find the item. I have to find it. It's somewhere in here. I remember this is another one of the items from that video. So hopefully it's over on this side. But who knows? It could be anywhere, anywhere. And I don't know if I wanna make you guys suffer through me looking. Oh my goodness. So all of these items are listed. Everything in this room is listed in my eBay store. A lot of the items are cross-posted to Mercari and Poshmark. And I use list perfectly to cross-post. If you wanna try list perfectly, you can get 30% off your first month with coupon referral code BOLOBUDDIES, all one word. And I do have a tutorial video down below. So you can check that out. And it'll show you exactly how to cross-post. And I'm telling ya, more eyes on your items, more platforms. So it is more work. And for me, I can only handle two more. I was doing Etsy and some Facebook marketplace. And I decided to scale back and just do eBay, Poshmark, and Mercari. And then I added and whatnot. All right, I'm gonna get two hands going here and see if I can find this item because I'm not having any luck. So I'll be back. Okay, I removed the little nativity. So here's a little tip. This is Fisher Price Little People. I do have two of these listed right now. This is more of a long tail item. If you can find the figures or you have a complete set, this can be a BOLO. I like to part them out and sell the figures like the camel, the Mary and Jesus and Joseph and all the different figures that come with this. I sell them individually, typically or in small lots.  But definitely a BOLO to be on the lookout for. Here it is. Here's the mesh purse. It's not mesh, it's beaded. The beaded purse. And I'm gonna show it to you guys up close and personal.  This thing is a mess. But look at all these beautiful beads. It's so pretty. This is the inside. And then here is the amazing, how it shuts is just incredible. And I've, there we go. Look. So I'm gonna put this back in a Ziploc bag to keep everything together for the person that bought it.  I sold. It is this one right here. And I listed this December 25th of 22. So it has been listed for a good while. Let's see, December, it's July. Is it July? Yeah. So it's been listed about seven months. Not quite. And it's an antique Victorian filigree frame, beaded purse, reticule, Slovakia, damage, read, TLC. This thing is trashed. My husband actually gave it away. And if you watch my video, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. He gave it away. And you know what? I'm like, do you want that?  And I knew that somebody out there was gonna want this item. I sold this for a best offer of $50 with all of this damage. But it has amazing hardware. A lot of the beads are still intact. You can see right here it is signed. This is a beautiful piece, damaged, needs a new home and somebody to repair it. But nonetheless, look at that hardware. It is stunning. So somebody bought this probably gonna take the pieces and use them to repurpose into something very, very beautiful. So I put pre-owned TLC damaged parts or repair sold as seen. And again, I took a best offer of $50 for that. So it's got the strap on it. It's got the hardware which all is in working order and signed. And it really has a lot of beautiful beads still left on it, but not in great condition. So can you sell damaged items? Absolutely. These are micro beaded purses. And this one is peacocks. And this one I just picked because I thought it was cool. It was auction style. It sold for $227.50. So what I found from my research of beaded purses is that the ones with the ton of detail like the beadwork is really detailed are the ones that went for the most money. So we're gonna keep looking here. This one here is another one that's just a print and flapper evening bag. Beaded Art Deco is the words used in the title. Now, mesh is also a word that's used. And this is from the 1920s. This one actually is not beaded. I apologize. This one is mesh. I thought it was beaded when I pulled it up because I typed in beaded. Now it does say beaded in the title. So I'm trying to figure out what is beaded on this. Do you guys see? That's interesting. Cause mesh is not considered a bead. Mesh is mesh, right? Maybe that was a typo. But anyway, mesh purses are also a big money bolo. I did not really go into the mesh style purses in this video but yes, definitely be on the lookout for those as well. All right. This one here is title antique microbeaded jeweled enamel frame, ADA Grunfeld Austrian purse. Look at this, you guys. Look at the detail. I mean, wow, right? Wow, and it's got the kiss lock. That's what you call this right here on the top.  A lot of people will use that term in their title as well. Honestly, there's not a whole lot of photos. I would love a close up of the beadwork. Now, you can go to the feedback and type in either the item number or the title to see if the item actually sold for this one. Now it doesn't tell you for sure if it actually sold but if there's feedback, you know that it sold. If there's not, the person that bought it may not have left feedback. So what I do then is I go into the seller's store and I see if they have re-listed the item. If I do not see it re-listed, my assumption would be that, yes, it was a good sale or it sold on another platform because they do not have the item re-listed. So I do try to do my homework when I'm sharing with you guys comparables of solds because I don't wanna just show solds because a lot of times things sell that didn't really sell. And I'll give you an example of that here at the end of the video. So this one says beautiful purse, fast shipping sold for $620. So another problem that you're gonna run into when you're searching for solds is you're gonna see this line and it's slashed through which means that an offer was accepted which can mean anything. I saw, or I gave an example in another video of one that was listed for crazy money and they sold it really cheap. And when you're looking at solds and you see the slash through, you kinda think, oh, well, they took a best offer but it's probably close to their asking price. Well, that's not always true. And I'm gonna show you a way to actually check. But this one right here is an antique, again, 1920s with this Venetian scene. It's a beaded purse and the beadwork is just incredible. But if I saw that at a garage sale without doing this video, I may not have known that this was worth as much as it is.  But some of these go for crazy money and we're gonna talk more about that. If you go to eBay and you click on the research tab, you can go into Terapeak and you can type, I usually cut and paste the title into the search bar. I hit search and then you go down here and you see, here's the item and I can see that this item actually sold for 600. So they had it listed for 699.99 and this was the best offer that was accepted on this item. Here is another one, rare antique Paris NYC French Art Deco beaded purse, plain spirit of St. Louis. And you can see it's got all of those keywords here in the title that are on the purse. That this is also a very detailed beaded purse. They've got the ruler to show the size. You guys can show size however you choose. I recommend doing it in the photos, especially for hard goods like this. They show you the detail of the strap, any defects, any issues with the item. This is a very, very old item. This sold for $698.88 plus shipping with 34 bids. Now, this one there was no feedback but the item was not re-listed and there were 34 bids. If you wanna go in and see the bid history, what you can look at right down here, you can see that they started this at 99 cents. So they either didn't know what they had or they knew what they had and they knew that the market was gonna drive this up on auction, risky, but if it's something that's super, super rare, sometimes you take a gamble and really get that interest, drive up the interest. That's kind of what I do on what not. I start my items low and just hope that things get bid up. A lot of times things sell for less than I hope for but a lot of times also things sell for a good price. So you just never know with auctions. That's on any platform that does auctions. You can see here that the winner had 2,116 feedback. There were 11 unique bidders with 34 bids and this was a seven day auction. So because this person had a higher amount of feedback, if this was a zero, that would be another, maybe you could question whether or not it got paid for but because they have a lot of feedback, more than likely this was a good sale and based on my research. So let's look at this one right here. I clicked on it. This was the highest sold bag. And when you go in, you see re-listed this item. So that tells me that the buyer did not pay. The seller went in and clicked re-list. When you click on re-listed item, you can see they did an auction again. It got zero bids and they re-listed it again. And now it is up for auction for $700. So that is one way to know that the item did not sell. So let's go back. Okay, here we are. So that was the first one that I looked at because it was the highest sold, but it didn't actually sell. It looks like it sold, it actually sold but it did not get paid for. So now we're gonna look at the ones that are trending at the highest, the highest solds. I showed you some of these, some of these I did not show you but just look at the detailed pattern work with the beads. These seem to be the highest selling beaded purses. Now this one does not have a lot, it's just black beads but right here, you have the cameo frame which probably is what it made this really special. Don't know for sure, I'm not a bag expert but look at the detail of all these high dollar selling bags. So definitely be on the lookout for anything that is beaded and do your homework, research them. If you can get it for a good price, just grab it and run but look how beautiful these are. This one's mesh. So mesh, beaded, just type in vintage purse and you can search high to low and see some of the different ones. I actually have beaded in my search because that is my focus because of the item I sold. So let's dig a little deeper into the item.  So also when you're researching, you can search lowest first and you're gonna see lots of beaded bags that did not sell for a lot. And a lot of times it's simply because the seller started the auction at 99 cents and the interest was not there. Had the seller started this at a buy it now at a higher price maybe these would have went for more, maybe not. Because when you do a seven day auction you're depending on at least two people if you start your item at 99 cents at least two people wanting your item and bidding it up. What I always do and say is search solds if your item is hard to find or rare start your item at the price you would list it for at a buy it now. And this is a great way to feel out the market. So if you think, oh, I'm gonna put this on a buy it now for $50, start it at $50. You never know, two people may really want your items and you may get $100 for it. And I'm telling you this, I started this on auction I think I did a couple auctions on it and it did not sell. I did start it higher if I remember correctly and it didn't sell. So I put it on a buy it now of $100 and I ran a 38% off sale. So it was on sale for $62. And then I ended up taking a best offer of 50. All right, so this item I'm awaiting payment for and I'm hoping I'm gonna get payment. It ended up getting three bids and sold for 43.66. If you find this item brand new with everything in it it is definitely a Bolo. Mine was pre-owned and not in complete condition. It was missing items. So let me just show you my photos. I did try to show what was in the back here and somebody actually asked me if everything was there. So I ended up pulling out everything that was in it and adding additional photos. And what I found was that everything was not there and it also had this inside of it. So this is to another kit. So the person that bought this got a bonus item and I can't remember what this is called but if you find these, definitely pick them up because people will buy them individually. When I listed this originally I did not catch that this was not a part of the kit or I probably would have listed that separately. But anyway, really nice set, definitely a big money Bolo if you find it complete new in the package and still did really well sold as is and it sold for 43.66. Now, if the buyer does not pay I will be re-listing this item and I'll have to decide if I want to take out this or leave it in. So I could sell this separately. I'll probably leave it in just because I'm lazy and I don't have a lot of time to take listings apart and recreate them when it's already done. So that's like doing work twice and that doesn't really make sense to me. So that is probably what I'll do. What I recommend you do is take this out and sell it separately, you'll make more money. But guess what I'm gonna say on that one is don't do what I do. All right, we're going over to tote 24. This is a bread and butter Bolo. That's items that I sold for $35 or less on eBay that I sourced cheap. Where is tote 24? Where are you? This is my number room. So I have my letter room and my number room and I'm not seeing it. So let me find it and then I'll come back and show you what I sold. Oh, here it is. What am I looking for? Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. This sold for $7 and the buyer paid shipping. I do charge the buyers shipping. Look at this beautiful quilt. It's a quilt top. I do charge the buyers shipping on eBay. They pay the shipping and I'm not seeing what I'm looking for here. My goodness, look at these little teletubbies. You guys remember teletubbies? I sold these. These are Halloween gloves, $7 buyer paid shipping. These came out of a thrift store mystery box. In fact, when I used to get mystery boxes from the thrift store that were either toys, Halloween, Christmas, this came out of that. It's tote 40. I think this is called Mighty Max. It is a toy. There it is. It's really small. It's kind of like the Polly Pockets only. It's not. It is made by Bluebird. I sold this for a best offer, I believe, of $8 in the buyer paid shipping. You can see it says Bluebird toys on the bottom. It's from 1992. And these come with little figures. So if you can find the replacement figures, you can sell them individually as well. But I sold this as a replacement part. The next item I got out of a mystery toy box from Auctions, or no, I'm sorry, it was a mystery, just a mystery box. It had toys in it, but it had a mix of things. And you guys can see that whole video on my channel. This is not something that I list all the time, but it was in the box, so I decided to list it. Now let's see if I can find it. These are awesome. Is it in here? No. Where is it? No wonder I couldn't find it. It's teeny tiny. I was thinking it was bigger than this, but it is a manual, a booklet manual, for a model. And I sold this for $10.54 plus the buyer paid shipping. Now what I will say about ephemera or paper products is a lot of times they are long tail, but I got $10.54 plus shipping out of this. If you're looking for inventory, check out T Auctions for you over on YouTube. She does sell to resellers, and a lot of times she will do a Teeble, which is a box of reseller items. So you pay for one price for the box, usually with free shipping, and then she ships it to you and you list the items and sell them for a profit. So this came from Auctions for you, I'll link her down below. So this is all jewelry that I have listed, but I sold this on Poshmark. I got an offer of $7. I took it. Poshmark took $2.95. Anything I believe under either 10 or $15, it's automatically a $2.95 fee. Now they made the offer so there was no discounted shipping and this is a handcrafted brooch, 4th of July. So what does this tell me? Keep things listed all year long. It is now past the 4th of July and I still sold this. Was it big money? No, I can't even remember where I got it. I sold it for $7. Poshmark took $2.95. So my profit on this was $4.05 minus cost of goods, which was probably anywhere from 25 cents to 50 cents. I probably didn't pay much for it, but just a super cute handcrafted item, but moral of this story is keep things listed all year long. Christmas sells all year long. A lot of times people will say, should I wait to list my Christmas items? That's up to you. I don't. You may get more near Christmas, but Christmas sells all year long. I had a question on my YouTube channel, so let me pull it up and I'm just gonna discuss it right here right now because it was a good question. But I don't know that I have the best answer. So what they said is, could you do a video on how you split your time? For example, sourcing, listing videos, et cetera. Do you pick a day and focus on one thing? Do you set a calendar? Thanks.  I'm not a calendar person. I really don't like schedules. I got into, like I worked full time and I quit working full time to do reselling full time. And one thing that I love, love, love about reselling is that I get to make my own schedule. But the best part is, is I really don't have to have a schedule. Now, I'm a very motivated person. I like to work, so I am always doing something. It's like, do I set days that I source? No, not really. Now, since I have started whatnot, things have been a little trickier.  I have been having a show. I've been trying to do a schedule, which I really don't like schedules, but I feel like if I let you guys know when I'm gonna be on, roughly certain days at the same time, that is helpful for people to remember. And when you're having a sale, you want people to know about it, right? So I have been going on on Tuesday night, Friday night and Sunday night at 10, 15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Now, that's what I've been doing the past couple months. Is it gonna stay like that? I can't say for sure. I kind of like this schedule. And because of that, I do kind of have to tweak when I'm doing my videos and when I'm recording for YouTube, when I'm listing on eBay. Right now, I'm listing on eBay whenever I have a little bit of time. But a lot of prep time goes into figuring out what I'm gonna bring to whatnot and how I'm gonna do that. I know you guys see me pulling from bags, but I do like to sort my jewelry into bags that are, like I talked about in the beginning, my single items that I'm gonna sell individually, my items that I'm gonna sell in small lots and then my crafters items. So the jewelry does need sorted. A lot of times I am buying in bulk. So it does need sorted. That takes a lot of time. So I'm usually on whatnot. I usually go on at 10, 15 and I'm usually on until 3 a.m. So come hang out. I love being live on what not. It's so fun. I love hanging out with you guys. I love selling live. It's so funny because I talked to you guys about listing high and waiting on the right buyer. That is kind of my go-to for eBay and Poshmark and Mercari. But for what not, I'm starting my items low and giving you 30 seconds to bid on it, sometimes 20 seconds. So it's completely different than what I'm used to. And I love it. Surprisingly, I love it. I thought, I'm gonna hate this. I'm gonna hate this. This is absolutely against everything that I talk about. But it's a different platform. It is a different business model. So it's just different. So sourcing, when do I source? Whenever there's an opportunity. Like this weekend, there was a great garage sale and I went and got all those made in Japan awesome figurines. I went on, is it Friday? And then I went back on Saturday. And when I went back on Saturday, the items were half off, which is awesome because I'm bringing these items to what not. I'm starting them low and they may go for my asking price or they may get bid up. Again, it's going to depend on who is in my audience. So I hope you guys will come over to my what not show. Listing, sourcing videos. Okay, I do a video a day. I don't recommend it. I don't, I don't. But what I have run into is I started doing a video a day and now I feel like to maintain, I need to continue to do a video a day.  There are many, many YouTubers that only do one video a week, two to three videos a week. I probably do more than I should. I'm just gonna be honest with you. So if you're thinking about YouTube, just know that that video that you're watching that might be 15 or 20 minutes, probably took two to three hours to make. So 30 days, we'll say average in a week. In a month, 30 days. 30 days in a month, let's say average. So you got anywhere from 28 to 31 days. That's a lot of hours that I'm putting into YouTube. I do love YouTube, but with everything that I have going on, I feel like my eBay is suffering a little bit and you're gonna see, I didn't sell a whole lot today because I'm not putting in to my eBay store. I'm not listing as much as I used to, but I'm bringing in incomes in other areas. So I am diversifying where I put my time. So where you put your time is where you're going to see your profits. So if you decide to cross post like I sell on eBay and then I cross post to Mercari and Poshmark, I am going to see sales on Poshmark and Mercari also. So those are other streams of income. So I'm doing YouTube, whatnot, eBay, Poshmark and Mercari, five things. So yeah, I mean, there's no really, I guess the short answer is no, I don't have a schedule. I don't keep a calendar, but because of whatnot, I am kind of, I know that on Wednesday nights, I kind of prepare for my videos and then on Thursday nights, that's my record night. And then I edit all through the week at different times of the day. I don't know if this is helpful to anyone. If you're a YouTuber and you sell, it's a lot.  So yeah, no schedule here. I try not to have a schedule. If there's a day that I don't want to work, I don't work. Now, does that happen very often? No, it doesn't. I usually work every day, seven days a week. I usually do not take a day off, but I do take time away from reselling every single day. So make time for yourself, for sure. But yeah, sourcing, I don't know, there for a while I was going to the bins all the time. And it just depends on what, like I used to garage sale all the time. I loved it, loved it, loved it. But now that I'm doing whatnot with a focus on jewelry, do you find tons of jewelry at garage sales? No, but I found these amazing made in Japan and I'm like, I'm going to bring those into my jewelry sales. So we'll see how it goes. Thank you guys so much for being here. Thank you for watching.

What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here since I'm about Jeepers Creepers 4 in this video here again today Jeepers Creepers were born talking about this alternate trailer or teaser or actually yeah trailer alternate trailer that was discovered online and Was sent to me by several different people. I'm gonna shout out Shout out to all of you because I can't really cite all these names But I am gonna mention the name of where it was originated from for everyone who kept sharing it to me shout out to you Kane and This video is showing us the footage I Had talked about in another video, and I know some other people have talked about piloting in on their channels as well This alternate trailer shows us the footage of Lane getting taken by the creeper after what looks like Chase is trying to propose to her at the horror Hound event I guess in a cemetery and then while that's occurring that she gets snatched by the creeper there's some awfully hideous green screen behind all of it and That's I guess still a thing that we should expect in the upcoming Movie when it releases in September There was also a new poster that came across as well much this poster that's out here I guess it's from either Australia or Germany. I didn't really recall what's what country it was for But it's much better than the multiple posters that they've already put out for us in the States out of state There's also been this new images. I've come across of Jaru Benjamin in the creeper makeup Again if you're listening to me Jaru, I have a something is telling me that you might be the highlight of this movie I'm not necessarily digging the makeup, but I know you message me I am looking forward to what you do in this in this costume in this makeup And I'm looking forward to seeing how you make the character your own. I'm just not digging this look I really am not I think though that he Jaru that being our new creeper he will be the highlight of this movie something about what I'm seeing from him in the Trailer in the manualisms that is what is getting me excited about seeing what he can bring to the table in this role Even though I would much rather of course have Jonathan break back as I know all of you would I still am gonna give this individual a chance And shout out to you because I know you watch my videos. So As far as like that goes and the whole abduction with Lane and this new This new image that you see here on your screen of a child over or not a child but a carriage That will hold a baby. I Really don't I hope they don't do this. It seems like they're going down there that whole Lane again I've already touched on this another video Lane is pregnant There's there's this script page that I've already talked about on here where there's bits of dialogue that indicate that Lane might be pregnant It's not only that it's the fact that in the posters that we've been seeing and now this behind the scenes image The hints of a baby care or the teasing of a baby cares death gives it death gives it life is what one of the posters said So Lane, I'm assuming is pregnant Chase probably knows about this or something like that and they probably know about it equally It's not something he's keeping us. She's keeping a secret for him I guess or maybe something else is going on and Chase decides to propose her because of this but I Something tells me that Lane isn't what the creeper is after he's after this fetus. So again That's very nightmare now Street 5 It's not something I know many of you will be digging if you're someone who knows how trash nightmare now Street 5 is Not just not to then say that the movie itself isn't fun because bad movies can still be fun Jeepers Creepers 4 again looks like it has a lot more better concept the whole mixing escape room and you know Hellfest and then bringing it into this IP. I like the concept meshing there I do also see where a lot of people are chiming in with their thoughts saying this is a complete Departure from what we've seen in those first two movies and maybe that's for the best Honestly, if you want to see something more traditional You're gonna have to stick to just watching those first two movies because it looks like they're trying to step as far away from that While also keeping those two movies canon And mostly ignoring the third one because we see the post-puncher at one point in the teaser During the creeper being shown coming out of the barn. What is presumably the Taggart barn? So we know there's that continuity there, but something again about this image from behind the scenes with Jaru and Now seeing the footage in the trailer to confirm that yes There is indeed a proposal going on and then we're considering the script page that again might not even be dialogue That makes it to the final product I'm thinking that the creeper is after the baby within Lane. She's pregnant. There's a baby inside her and Something about the baby is what the creeper wants doesn't really care for Lane movies probably have a very gruesome ending when in which Lane dies and so does her her unborn child and Maybe just maybe if and I'm really just holding out hope There's a brief cameo from a fully developed creeper and it's Jonathan Brink Now I know that's really just me shooting off predictions that aren't gonna happen because his manager has already said He's not in the movie, but you never know I don't believe he's gonna be in it Love to see an ending like that where the creeper has been so skinny and you know Just not his usual self for most of the book of the movie and then by the end He has his full form and it's somebody else somebody who you're more familiar with seeing in the makeup It's Jonathan Brick in a cameo appearance as the creeper I know a lot of you would also like that chance of that happening are probably very slim 0% is our highest chance of that happening But again the whole concept of doing that having him take a baby I mean, I'm not against it I just am again not blown away by what we've seen so far in the footage that we've got now that we've gotten like a full-length trailer Again, the thing I'm sold on the most right now is what Jauru might potentially be able to bring to the character and Also the overall concept that's being presented in the movie I'm not gonna say that it doesn't look like it won't be more fun than Jeepers creepers through because it doesn't like it'll Be a lot more fun. The performances do look like they'll be slightly better I am already seen people saying that they cannot stand the use of the green screen I'm right there with you the green screen looks terrible. It just does And again, I've already put out a poll asking you guys when you plan on seeing the movie Looks like a majority of you are gonna be seeing this on September 19th Now if I honestly cannot see this for free. Yes, I am going to go out of my way to secure a ticket It might seem it seems like honestly, that's what I'll end up having to do anyway because it I'm assuming going off of my recent Recent attempts screeners would not be made available for this movie You will have to go out and see it in theaters if you want to see it in advance So on September 19th, if you're planning on seeing the movie You'll have something to look forward to when you're done seeing the movie because my review will be up on the channel one way or another Again, honestly with that alternate trailer showing us showing us Lane getting taken I'm just fully convinced. We're gonna introduce something that's related to a baby I know a lot of you might not even fall for that storyline or even buy it. You'll be turned off by it I'm not really looking forward to it again. It just reminds me of Nightmare Nail Street 5 and how bad that was But let me know what you guys think about all this down in the comment section below If you haven't already of course make sure you subscribe turn on post notification never miss a video in the description I'll have links on my social media accounts on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there, of course So let me know if there is any movies news or a huge like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video
