So actually, I'm in a departure from my usual efforts to be very analytical and empirical, try to be a little bit more of a storyteller today. And that's partially inspired by the topic, or my lack of confidence or competency in the topic, that of emergencies and crises. So actually, vis-à-vis my following in the footsteps of Pair, when I think about a crisis, when it was 30 or so years ago that Pair offered me my first real job working at IFPRE with him or for him, but he never made it feel like it was for him. He always made it feel it was with him, one of his great managerial, many of his managerial skills that I've failed to quite figure out how to emulate. When we sat many hours, many days, many years together, not just Pair and I, but the group of researchers and researchers at IFPRE, and we talked about our commitment and were inspired by Pair's commitment and determination to address problems of world hunger and malnutrition and the ethical urgency of doing so, I don't think we ever use the term emergency or crisis in the sense that when the phone rings and one of your kids fell down when they were young or when the phone rings and one of your parents is ill, when you're older or whatever these crises and emergencies are in your lives or in the lives of other. When I think about a crisis, I think about an acute urgent situation for which there is a lack of time to plan, to consider the best course of action always, and to try to figure out a way of moving forward in as muddled of a fashion as possible to address the urgency of the problem. But instead, the work that we did at IFPRE and I've continued to try to do throughout my career, again, following as best as I can through the early inspiration of Pair's work, is to look at causes and solutions to problems of hunger, such as improving health infrastructure, technological change in agriculture, increasing and improving mother's education, breaking into generational poverty traps and the cycle of poverty across generations, investing in the types of services and human capital and physical capital that will enable us to break the grips of chronic poverty, chronic hunger, chronic malnutrition over decades, if not generations. And one thing I don't take any personal pride in but personal satisfaction is possibly a better way of putting it is that as a global community, we have succeeded in doing that. Levels of malnutrition are nearly half of what they were in the 1990s. The percentage of children who are hungry and malnutrition every day, malnourished, who go to sleep every day without enough food has declined dramatically. So when Finn and Tony approached me about participating in this meeting, I actually sat and thought long and hard about, well, what do I know about crises? I have devoted my career and my life to not approaching problems of hunger and malnutrition in a crisis mode, but in a rather methodical way that involves spending years designing surveys, years collecting data, years doing models, and so forth. That doesn't sound like a crisis to me. So what is a crisis and what is an emergency? And is there really a big difference between what we call crises and emergencies? Nutrition and emergencies responding to crises as the title of the session is from the type of work that I've been doing, that Pair has been doing, that others in this room have been doing. So I actually, as a point of departure, I have to go to the next slide. I started thinking about what are these crises and how do we put them in a historical context. So of course, I wasn't alive when Malthus was writing his great treatises in the 18th century. I don't think anybody here was, as far as I could tell. But most of you are very aware and knowledgeable about how, back several hundred years ago, Malthus could not envision the amazing strides in terms of technological change in agriculture, things like the Green Revolution, the Biotech Revolution, and so forth. And he envisioned, as did many people, or most people at his time, who are witnessing the increase in the population growth, massive famines, inevitably causing a break on the growth of population and killing large shares of the world's population as a result of food production not being able to keep up with population growth. Now, of course, the amazing work of dedicated scientists, policymakers, institutions like the CGIAR, people like Pear and others in this room, looking back at Malthus seemed like he was living in a, or his conception of reality was completely divorced from what was to follow in the centuries that followed. But that being said, while Malthus proved to be completely off base and completely incorrect, by the mid-20th century, we were facing massive famines. And these massive famines, such as the Great Famines in Asia particularly, or in China in 1958 that killed over 30 million people, that's what I would call a crisis, an emergency, an acute one and extreme one. But at that same time, a number of very wise, thoughtful people such as Erlich in his work started echoing again the ideas of Malthus, saying, well, we've made great progress in agriculture, but look what's going on now. We have these massive great famines, food shortages, and yeah, Malthus after all was correct. Well, then of course, came along Amartya Sen, much of his thinking and thinking of his people such as Amartya, who introduced ideas around the capabilities approach, entitlement failures to understand human deprivation and famine. And really, he redefined those causes of those famines, not in terms of food shortages, which was the idea of the time. In the 1960s, 1970s, people were talking about famine equals food shortages with great deal of regularity. And he redefined kind of the underlying causes of these great famines that were at the time in the middle of the 20th century being defined in terms of food shortages. But then the notion of what is a crisis and the nature of emergencies continue to evolve, or at least this is my take on what's been going on over the past few centuries. And in the late 20th century, particularly, once again, we started to see the emergence of a new type or a new set of crises, particularly in Africa and the Horn of Africa, exemplified by the events in Ethiopia, which again, reintroduced the idea of food shortages, but primarily in the context of things like drought and the stresses of the growth of population in these areas on the agro-economic climate in which people were living. And in fact, it became less clear even at that time when we go back and look at these great famines in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa, some of the analysis seemed to fall short in terms of explaining these things. It really wasn't just a matter of entitlement failures. And so we started to rethink what were the causes of these famines. But very soon, and not very soon, but 20, 30, 40 years later as we entered into the 21st century, the nature of nutrition emergencies seemed to have changed once again, or the paradigm for analyzing and understanding them. And they seem to transform into these within-state, drought-induced or even conflict-induced emergencies into emergencies that affect the refugees and displaced people in failed states, more along the lines of what we were hearing this morning from our plenary speaker, Elizabeth Reigns, in her discussion of migration, refugees, migrants, conflict. And increasingly, we have seen this emergence, particularly in the past 10 years, five years, even more so, of this acute increase in the number of people caught in between war, conflict, many of which have already left their countries. And if they are in their countries, they're displaced people. And there's been an exponential increase in the number of refugees and displaced people who are suffering serious hunger and malnutrition problems that have really taken on the forefront in terms of the fight against hunger and malnutrition. And it has a very different texture to it than earlier famines and other food shortages that occurred, whether it be in India and China or even in sub-Saharan Africa in the end of the 20th century. And the numbers in this regard are startling. They're quite remarkable. In 2016, over 65 million people were displaced, all confronting the threat of hunger and malnutrition. And over half of those people are children. The numbers are 1 in 113 people worldwide are displaced by conflict and persecution. These numbers are staggering. They're nothing like anything we've seen in history and or at least modern history. I can't quite speak to the Middle Ages. And the question is why? And I think there are two answers in terms of just simple short answers, which is that conflicts that were often resolved or famine situations that were often resolved over the course of two or three years as rain returned or as drought conditions diminished or as some internal conflict in a country abated. Well, they seem to be lasting and persistent. So problems in places like Somalia and Afghanistan, instead of being two, three-year problems, they're decade-old problems. And then, of course, we have the other issue of new conflicts and an increasing number of new conflicts over the past five years, whether that be in South Sudan, Ukraine, and, of course, Syria. So our challenge now in terms of when we have to confront nutrition emergencies is really addressing primarily the needs of internally and increasingly internationally displaced people, where there's a diminished role of the state, the diminished role of the types of institutions that we used to think about working through. So for example, when there was a famine in India in the 20th century, we thought about what's the role of the Food Corporation of India? What's the role of government subsidies? What's the role of investing the government working to improve storage and access? Well, that's less the discussion now. Now it's more, how are we going to deal with this? How are the NGOs going to respond? How are the international organizations like the World Food Program going to bring in food from outside and distribute it? How are indigenous institutions and camps and going to organize themselves to address these problems? So the whole texture of the problem of nutrition emergencies is completely different now than it was 10 years ago, 20 years ago, and certainly 50 years ago. And it presents new challenges. Now trying to tie a little bit of that together with the chronic story, one of the issues or one of the challenges that's emerged is because these nutrition emergencies have fallen in the lap of the international community. Donors are doing their best at doing, I would say, while certainly inadequate or remarkably good job at responding to these emergencies, but there's a cost. And the cost is that the investment, the resources that are going into emergency nutrition programs now are dwarfing the amount of money being allocated to the non-emergencies, the type of stuff that I thought I would spend my life working on. And the demands of these emergency nutrition programs are growing rapidly in magnitude and the amount of funds being allocated to them are growing rapidly in magnitude unlike the rest of the type of normal nutrition interventions nutrition programs scaling up the types of things that work that are being neglected because resources are scarce and they're being pushed forward into or redirected into these emergency situations. So just to give you a factoid to kind of illustrate this that I found is that the World Food Program emergency operations increase from 55,000 to 4 million individuals from 2008 to 2015 in that five-year period alone. So it really is a major shift in terms of the use of resources and the perceived needs in terms of combating malnutrition from these and one of my concerns and I'm not gonna have a lot of time to although I have actually quite a bit to say about this and many other things as you might imagine is that the emergency programming and the emergency activities because they're deemed emergencies and they're deemed critical without time to prepare to think, to organize, to collect data, to do research and so forth are subject to far less scrutiny in terms of evaluation, in terms of economic analysis, in terms of assessing impact. So we know a lot less about what works and what doesn't work and why it works and we are in one sense operating in the dark and I won't get to my final slides but one of my main concerns or major concerns is that we don't have the evidence, we don't have the knowledge and certainly the type of people that I know who have spent their careers and even now in terms of students and areas of study that are focusing on ameliorating problems of hunger and malnutrition. They're not doing it in these contexts. They're not evaluating programs, they're not doing RCTs, they're not doing anything, they're not doing any models, they're not doing anything that we've spent our careers talking about doing and saying needs to be done for looking at nutrition programming, it's completely off the agenda in the emergency context. To me, this is a real big problem. So I started thinking more about what are the dimensions of these emergency programs and I wanna highlight a few of them and then try to make a few more remarks before my time is out and maybe we can come back to this during the question and answer period. So when we think about these emergency programs, the four dimensions that I thought about that may be worth considering in a little bit more detail but I'll just throw them out there or some of them are very prominent and highly visible. And the degree of prominence and visibility, I would argue, is what defines the nature of the response, not necessarily and the degree of prominence and visibility is not necessarily correlated with the degree of need. And I think this is a very important issue. You know, when we go in and we try to intervene in a kind of a normal, quote unquote, normal development context, we think about needs and then we think about designing programs and policies that respond or address the neediest populations. Well, in the case of emergencies, it's prominence and visibility but that's not necessarily correlated with real need. So there may be parts of the Central African Republic, for example, where prominence and visibility is low but need is astronomical but they're just not getting the types of attention and resources. This is a big problem. Another element is that of duration. Now I alluded to this earlier that we have this odd situation that these nutrition emergencies seem to go on forever now. People are on camps for decades, for generations. Well, but we're still calling them emergencies but really aren't they chronic situations and shouldn't we be doing the type of careful analytical work and design work in those contexts that we would do if we go into communities in Northern Kenya or in Tanzania or in Latin America where we have populations of undernourished people and we do careful analytical work, design things, make sure they work, evaluate their impact, talk about how do we make them sustainable, how do we involve the communities but if you're in a camp in Somalia for 25 years or in Sudan for generation after generation, no, it's an emergency. All we have to do is throw the food in and we're doing the job. I don't think that's right. And then we have this issue of whether it's an internally stable versus internationally displaced population. Of course that has tremendous implications for how we again think about responding and what can be the response in terms of addressing the nutrition problems. And I'm just gonna not expand on that further but there's also this degree of destruction of systems and infrastructure. Now we spend a lot of time when we're dealing with chronic malnutrition problems talking about we've got to set up health systems, we've got to improve infrastructure so that markets function better. We have to provide for water and sanitation. But the reality is that in, especially amongst internationally displaced people, the whole opportunity to respond in this way is often absent for a number of complex reasons and they can involve the host governments. They don't want the infrastructure built there because they don't want these people hanging around too long but it also could be because there aren't the institutions, there's no governance structure. And it's also again, the nature of the mentality when you respond to an emergency, truck in the water, truck in the latrine, right? But don't think about rebuilding the infrastructure. So these are complicated distinctions that in fact, at the end of the day, the most, as I say here, the most important distinction between an emergency and a non-emergency situation really is the dimension of suddenness. But an emergencies because they're can supposedly sudden, I don't mean to diminish this or sound too harsh but there's almost like this excuse that people are dying, we've got to do whatever it takes, right? I mean, we got an emergency, we got to respond, we got to be jolly on the spot, get all the resources in there. We don't have to worry about if this is efficient, effective, sustainable because there's a life-threatening problem. But what about the chronic malnutrition? Which is, I ensure you just by the numbers. There are a lot more kids who die every day by orders of magnitude as a result of chronic malnutrition where we always have to talk about promoting sustainability, evidence-braced approaches, considering opportunity costs, negative externalities, priority setting and so forth. But in the emergency context, this stuff is, I won't say ignored but considered a second order problem, a luxury to think about. But is it really a luxury in that context but not in the context of all the 250 million years in children who are suffering malnutrition? The hundreds of millions of kids who are iodine deficient, the 250 million kids who are iron deficient, who are not considered the emergency population that we need to worry about? So I'm going to just at the end of the day, conclude, because again, we're short on time and like to hear from you, is that chronic malnutrition, whether it's stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and so forth, and increasingly even obesity, I would argue, represent a silent emergency greater in scope than the acutely malnourished that we try to conjure up in our minds or unfortunately not just conjure up in our minds, but that are all too horrible to consider in the context of these emergencies that we're trying to respond to in amongst displaced people, people affected by war drought, bad governments. But we are facing this serious competition for resources. And the perception is that emergencies can't wait, but chronic malnutrition can. And that we first need to deal with the humanitarian crisis and we can wait on the rest of this. And that's what's going on now in the world in terms of the allocation of effort, time and resources. And it worries me. And I'm not sure how to reconcile this because there is no good answer. But let me finally go back one slide, sorry guys. And that is as an economist, I've been thinking, or as a researcher, really, what is the role of economic policy research? What can we do better? And I think what we should try to move away from is the excuse that is ignoring in the emergency context traditional areas of evidence-based economic research, including evaluation, which are far more limited in scope. And as I said, that we put a higher standard in terms of dealing with chronic nutrition problems. So there may not always be time for RCTs and there may not always be time for collecting good observational and baseline data and worrying about models that have proper identification and good instruments or all the other stuff that we spend our time thinking about. But I don't think the situation is that dire in the sense that not that people aren't suffering, but I think a good creative effort on the part of the research community could help formulate a research agenda around emergency responses and economic, and of course I'm thinking more in terms of not a political, the role of political scientists or logistics people or all sorts of other areas that I know nothing about. But in terms of even economic analysis about looking at how to make responses to emergency situations be a level or a standard that is somewhat consistent with what we would expect for ourselves in responding to more chronic and long-term problems. So thanks very much.

What's the word y'all? Pascal Siakam is now a part of the Indiana Pacers. Now, we kind of had an idea this trade was about to go down. Yesterday, Shams tweeted that the conversations were very fluid and that three first round picks were involved. And the moment I read that tweet, I said, there's no doubt in my mind Pascal Siakam is about to be a part of the Indiana Pacers because anytime you can get three first round picks for an expiring contract, you pull the trigger and they did. I was so confident in it that I woke up this morning and I was like, you know what? I gotta wear my Pacers gear. It is the only piece of Pacers merch that I have because this was the last time that they was, anyway, shout out to the Pacers. They did the deal. Pascal Siakam, as far as we know, and I always gotta say as far as we know, Pascal Siakam was the number one potential trade piece on the market and he's gone. He's an indie and that sets, maybe sets the market a little bit and we'll kind of talk through some of those things. And I say as far as we know, because I had no idea that Kevin Durant was gettable a year or so ago. So you never really know the trade that line. They just get kind of crazy. Here are all the details. The anti-outpacers are finalizing the trade to acquire All-Star, Ford, Pascal Siakam, the deal that was sent Bruce Brown, Jordan Ward and three first round picks to surround a Raptors. New Orleans will be a third team of the deal sending Kira Lewis to the Raptors. Three seconds on that, every NBA tax nerd in the world knew that the Pelicans were gonna trade Kira Lewis to give them under the tax and they did that in this deal. Now, Indiana is sending two 2024 first round picks and a 2026 first round pick to the Raptors. One of those picks is their actual pick and then another one is the worst of a Utah, Houston Clippers OKC pick, which is gonna be at the tail end of the first round because OKC and the Clippers are both very good basketball teams. All right, so those are all little details and that 2026 first round pick because it's been about an hour since the trade has gone down it doesn't like there's any protection so that's completely unprotected. And again, we mentioned that the Indiana pick is unprotected too but the Pacers are a playoff team at the moment and acquiring Pascal Siakam, you would assume that stays the case. So we're talking about some picks from the Indiana perspective that maybe not something you care about whatsoever because you don't pull off this type of trade without the assumption that you're gonna be able to retain Pascal Siakam. Now, if that's not the case and Pascal walks in free agency then we look at this trade differently but as of right now you gave up Bruce Brown who you gave that bag to this office and a lot of people question that he's been looking pretty good but it wasn't a guaranteed contract for the future. You turn that plus Jordan Warrow who sometimes in the rotation sometimes not in the rotation to Pascal Siakam?  A lot of y'all know that the Indiana Pacers as of right now are the best offensive team in the history of basketball. It's kinda skewed because of the pace and everything but as of right now that's factually true. They are the best offensive team in the history of basketball and now they add a little bit more fuel to the fire. Again, under the assumption that Pascal will resign this feels like a no-brainer and it's very on brand for the Indiana Pacers to do something like this. Other than last year because Tarris Halliburne got injured the Pacers has always been a team to build towards the middle. They're never gonna be really, really bad and then boom, they're gonna make some trades. They're gonna do this in order to hit that next step. We saw that when they traded All-Star the Matissa bonus to the Western Conference in exchange for this young guard that looked pretty good throughout his first year and a half and Tarris Halliburne, now he has blossomed to an All-Star potentially multiple time All-Star. Not potentially, he is a multiple time All-Star and they set pat on all of their assets because before this trade they had from 2024 all the way to 2030 as far as their own draft picks. So they were just playing around with house money at this point. Who is a person that we believe can help us hit that next step? Should we sit on our assets and wait into the off season or should we acquire a guy right now because we're damn good right now? And the answer is let's acquire him now because who knows what can happen? You get him in the door a couple months early you showcase hey, India's the place to be you play a couple games, 20, 30 games with Tarris we make a little playoff push you ain't even thinking about free agency. Well, the alternative is you let him hit free agency you try to acquire him then but he might have hair lunch in Detroit with these 64 million dollars he might have hair lunch and Philly would have a much money they gonna have so you get him in now to say hey, we traded these assets for you because we really believe in you for the now and the future and there's no better place than here in Indianapolis. I just love the NBA so much because there are so many different ways to make things happen. If you look at their roster I mean they have Tarris Halliburton who they acquired via trade they have Benedict Matheren who they drafted obviously they acquired OB Toppin they drafted them hard and they second round they had this pick because last year they fell off they acquired Buddy Heald they acquired TJ McConnell again Bruce Brown who they picked up in free agency and then flipped him. Jordan Rurra, Aaron Neesmith who was a part of the Malcolm Brogdon trade and a lot of people thought that the Pacers didn't get anything back and now Aaron Neesmith is a quality NBA player they acquired Jalen Smith and Myles is like one of the soul draftees that are actually like getting real, real PT so they've always been Jim Boylan is on the I did not know Jim Boylan was on the staff, okay? Again, it's just another way to make it happen we don't need to bottom out every single season to get a star because we can trade for one we don't need to do this, do that we're gonna be consistent give our fans a good product and then when the time is right we pounce and that's what they did with Pascal Siak now it's probably gonna be a minute since we see these guys together because Tyrese Steele with his injury I think it's a hammy and a hamstring injury can go a lot of different ways but eventually we will see these boys on the court together and I think that number one offense of all time is just gonna be better. I mean, right now the top two of fast break teams in all the basketball is the Toronto Raptors because of course Pascal Siak and Scotty Barnes are on the team and then the Indiana Pacers and now we're taking away one of the best fast break players in the league right now and add them to one of the fastest pace teams of all time this should just be really, really good and though he might not be as good of a defender now as he has been like two to three years ago Pascal Siak obviously is an upgrade defensively for a team that lacks a bunch of long defensive players I mean, Pascal Siak is definitely and because you've been able to build your team without having really good draft spots and things like that you feel comfortable giving up these picks because again, this year we're a playoff team that other pick was like we don't really care about the 23rd, 28th overall pick and then in 2026 you just assume you assume that with good health and resign a Pascal Siak we're gonna be in a playoffs again so let's pull a trigger with the Raptors I'm just happy they did it but that was conversations about the alternative of not trading him letting him play the season and trying to resign him in the off season with the idea that we can flip him for something even more if he's under a long term contract and I'm like bro, please just give the keys just give the keys to Scotty Barney and let's Scotty be the guy and now he's completely got that you get a contract that is expiring or an option in Bruce Brown you determine whether or not he can be a part of your core slash future and that's something you decide after the season and then you get three first round picks the same thing we just mentioned with the Pacers though I mean those picks at least if everything goes perfectly aren't very super valuable high picks but who really knows? This is an organization that drafted O'Gianna Nobby with the 23rd overall pick and drafted or that they trade for Pascal so y'all come on draft mine either way at the end of the first round I think number 26 or 27 so they've been relatively successful in the spot now recently it was like Malachi fling over Desmond Bayne so it hasn't been 100% hits but this is a spot that they've been pretty comfortable with and have had success everybody's gonna keep trying to compare it to I guess what they could have got last season if they make the trade but without us knowing exactly who was interested or what they were potentially willing to give up it's hard to really say I mean I have been a guy that said that they should have made these adjustments make these trades back last season but better, better late than never because they waited too long on Fred Van Vleet and then Freddie just walked for nothing so being somewhat proactive is better than not I guess and now this puts you in a place where obviously it's not a full reset because you did get a player back in Bruce Brown and then the previous trade you got RJ Barrett and you got Emmanuel quickly and you still have Scotty Barnes so it's not like it's a complete reset but nonetheless, that is a way for you to I guess get rid of a little bit of talent and maybe that sacrifices some wins and maybe you get some extra lottery balls so your own first round pick being better is probably the best pick you get in this trade it just feels good to be here, honestly, honestly because last year I sat on this channel that until OG or until Pascal get traded I will not be reading no mock trades with them because I'd never really know what Masai and was it Bobby Webster I'd never really know what they got planned and what they had planned was making these two trades and these two trades are pretty different, right? The O'John and Obie trade net at zero first round picks and I'm assuming, I'm just assuming that because of the teams that were interested in him that they could have got some first round capital but instead they opted to get real players that can help and be developed in Canada right now and Emmanuel quickly and RJ Barrett while the second trade of Pascal Siakam is mostly draft capital versus getting back the players now again, Bruce Brown is a good NBA player and maybe they try some Kara Lewis Jr minutes here and there but the first trade was players the second trade was picks and I kinda like that balance but the market is set, the market is set and again, and now that we've seen OG and Pascal fall the next name that is high on the priority list to be moved is probably Dejante Murray because his contract is really nice and again, he's a good NBA player I wonder what that means for his market I wonder what that means for a Zach Levine market Yeah, bring it into the bulls baby and maybe the three first round picks for Pascal Siakam is the anomaly but a lot of people believe that because he wasn't expiring a deal the return wasn't gonna be too crazy right and now that we see that those first round picks are not maybe as valuable as the number says three first round picks sounds like a ton but you think about where they're projected maybe not that much maybe he's the anomaly because the Pacers have full confidence that they'll be able to resign him and here's a tweet from Mark J Spears that said new Pacers for Pascal Siakam just got off a phone call with Rick Harlow and President Kevin Pritchard Siakam maintains his bird rights with the Pacers who are expected to resign him in free agency appears doubtful that he'll play in the next game but I like this trade a lot more for the Pacers than I do the Raptors I think the Raptors did okay but I love this trade for the Pacers because they get a guy that at the age of I think he's turning 30 this year so you get him now before 30 and it doesn't feel as though Pascal Siakam's game will translate that in the next three years or so because I'm assuming that contract is probably three to four years long when you resign him he feels like a guy that will be consistently in these conversations for being an all-star caliber talent even if he never makes it again because the East is gonna be crazy and he will be again the number two option behind Terry's Halliburton even if he never makes it again we know that the talent is gonna be there and given that the Pacers have been a team ran this specific way I love this a lot I'm giving it like an A minus and for the Raptors I'm probably giving it closer to a B, B minus because again even though they have had success drafting any spots it's not like you got a pick that projects to be a lottery pick so only time will tell I edited this video and I've been just thinking I'm lower on this trade for the Raptors now after editing and re-thinking about it because there is a world that in a couple years you don't get anything tangible for Pascal Siakam who's one of the greatest players in your franchise history you did not get Jiris Walker which I thought was a guarantee in Australia you didn't get Benedict Matherham which is less of a guarantee so you got three first round picks that are probably late first rounders and obviously those are no guarantees I think I said B minus originally it's probably a C bro maybe I'm being generous I don't know again only time will tell what they use the picks to get in this draft they also traded their pick their own first round pick now that I'm thinking about they traded their own first round pick for Yaka Perdell because they thought that this draft class was trash so you just acquire you just acquire two picks in the draft class you thought was trash last year I'll talk about it more later haven't really been on Twitter or social media a lot today it seems like the Warriors lost their assistant coach Deckey which I didn't expect to read that right now some fortunate but that's not what this video is about I was just saying my prayers to his family to the Warriors organization and everybody impacted by his passing man that's super young alright let me know what you think about the Pacers and the Raptors deals I will be talking about it more on the Kenny Beatson podcast a little bit more in depth when I get my mind around it in a few hours so links is in the description to the Kenny Beatson podcast


What makes for excellence in heart care? It starts with one of the most amazing teams of heart surgeons and cardiologists that I've seen assembled under one roof and the region's leading technology in a new $40 million facility. This is the nationally recognized Heart and Vascular Institute of Eastern Kentucky at Pikeville Medical Center. Josh Vernon, a local architect with over 20 years of experience, has been appointed to the Pikeville Historic Preservation Board. The Historic Preservation Board works to maintain historic architecture and repair historic buildings throughout the city. Mr. Ellswick called and we've been doing work with the city for about six years or more on various architectural projects and he just had a conversation with me and asked if I would be willing to serve on the board. The main purpose of the Historic Preservation Board is to assess proposed changes to any historic facilities or facilities that have historic value to the city of Pikeville and to assess and make recommendations on how those proposed renovations or proposed changes and how appropriate they are and make recommendations for how things should be done to give appropriate respect for historic architecture. Several buildings throughout Pikeville were built over 100 years ago and require specific knowledge of antique architecture to maintain and repair. Pikeville is they have a really invigorating downtown area and there's a lot of rich historic architecture. Some of that has fallen into disrepair or is whether from weather damage or from just time and buildings being used are in need of repair for them to be able to be used and so it's it's the important thing is is that when projects are proposed to utilize historic architecture that that those proposals be evaluated based on not taking away the value that that historic architecture brings to the city and making recommendations for how it can be done well.

Okay, next right now, addition of water. Addition of water. Next, yes. Addition of water. Right off. Alkyne's undergoes acid-catalyzed addition of water. In presence of mercury ion as the catalyst. So what's the name of this reaction? It is addition of water on alkyne. So it's not under the same thing like the liquidation. Sir, mercury is HD2 plus. HD2 plus. So what is the secret plus called? Mercury. So what is the secret plus called? Mercury. Mercury ion as a catalyst. Right on. Mercury ion present as a mixture of mercury sulfate that is HgSO4. Mercury sulfate in aqueous sulfuric acid. In aqueous sulfuric acid. This reaction follows Markovnikov rule. Markovnikov rule. Right down. It forms ketone, sorry, enol form. It forms enol. Keto enol. It forms enol form first. Enol form first. Which converts into keto. Keto through tautomeric. So in the keto enol tautomeric, there are some percent HgSO4. Yes. So for that we have 4-5 rules. That rules we will discuss. Actually you cannot find out the exact person. Yeah exact person. But you can find out that which one like in the given option. You can find out which one should be the like suppose around 88% or 60% like that. Or 100%. Suppose if you have a compound like this. Suppose you have a compound like this. This converts into what? This converts into phenol after tautomerism. It converts into phenol. Just one example. This HgSO4. One of the HgSO4 will come out. Right. This goes over here. This comes over here. And this HgSO4 will attach onto this. So you will get this. Yes. Yes. Space for that. It comes over here. We will get this. Right. Since it is phenol. Right. And it is aromatic. So we can say the composition of this is 100% in the way. This will entirely convert into phenol. So like that based on the stability of the molecule. We can find out the percentage. So for that. You didn't give us one way right? That is something you find out the degree of the compound and then you count the number of alpha and check. No that was chlorination. Yes. Chlorination. Chlorination. Chlorination. Composition for that. Chlorination. Percentage composition of the chlorinated product. So that will work for not halogen. No. No. Okay. So reactionary right down to CH3, CH2. C triple bond CH. This on reaction with water. And the catalyst we use is H2SO4 in presence of HGSO4. This is the reagent for this reaction. H2SO4 with HGSO4. Okay. So in this the product is CS3, CH2, C double bond. CH2. The final product of the reaction. You'll get an alkene first. What is the name of this compound? This we call it enol. I'll tell you what. One, two, three, four. Butte, butte, one in two holes. Right? It's an enol form which goes under ketoenol atomization and converts into... This is CS3. Lucille, tell me what is the product? That double bond go, it becomes CS3 and this will be T double bond go. So this becomes... See generally enol form is more stable, like here we cannot compare the percentage, but enol form is more stable not enol, keto form is more stable, why because C double bond O the bond strength is higher than C double bond strength, right. So, generally what we say keto form is more stable than the enol form. So, the percentage is around 60 percent will be this or 65 percent and this will be the rest 35 or 40 percent, okay. So, exact composition we cannot say, we can talk about which one is more stable and based on that we can say which one is more and which one is less, okay. It is like I said it is spontaneous, right. The structure which is more stable the composition on that will be more in the mixture, okay. In this case we can say as I was telling you. So, sometimes what happens the compound which forms after this tautomerism that get stabilized through hydrogen bonding, right. So, the one which has the hydrogen bonding the composition is more stable. So, we have four five rules for that. So, this is the reaction we have here, okay product. HD2 plus here also what happens this HD2 plus forms a cyclic ring here intermediate which is not that you know important, but if you try to understand the mechanism it goes like this CH3, CH2, the C KSR will have HD2 plus C double bond H and then here what happens H2O behaves as a nucleophile and the attack of H2O on the carbon atom which is more substituted because it follows what Markovnikov. So, here say we will have attack of H2O this will attack on the carbon atom which is more substituted this ring will go up. What happens after this CS3, CH2, C OH2 positive charge double bond CHHG this H plus comes from this OH2 it becomes OH and this H plus will attach under this carbon atom. So, it forms what CH2 here goes OH and this pi bond will not be there. So, here we will have the positive charge so, that pi electron takes this H plus. So, it forms CH2 and this positive charge over here. Now, after this what happens as HG2 plus goes out and this bond pair is going into this positive charge carbon atom. So, it is the metal it will not take part in the reaction it is a catalyst. So, we are using some temperature also here at this temperature here the elimination of HG ion takes place which further combines the substrate ion forms HG. So, what I said mercurinium ion as a catalyst. So, when it is a catalyst it will not take part in the reaction. So, it comes out at the end of the reaction. So, we will get here C double bond CH2 OH which is this form in all after this keto form. Oxygen pair will have lone pair and hydrogen this lone pair forms pi bond and this pi bond shifted with this carbon and to stabilize this oxygen because if you have double bond here the oxygen has positive charge to stabilize this positive charge. And this H plus is taken up by this CH2 minus C S3 okay. But again like I said mechanism is not important okay only one thing you have to keep in mind that whatever nucleophile you are taking nucleophile is bought here what is the nucleophile what is getting attached here So, what is the nucleophile? No, nucleophile is H2. Nucleophile is always the molecule which attacks. Now, why OH we are getting here because these two H2 attack here we have positive charge on oxygen to stabilize that positive charge H plus comes up and then you get OH. So, nucleophile is always the particle which attacks suppose which is not possible in this reaction I am going to have a C S3 OH one hypothetical case I must do right. So, which one will attack the whole this compound will attack here C S3 OH. So, nucleophile is what? C S3 OH after this H plus and where C S3. But the nucleophile is always C S3 OH H2. What is the nucleophile in this reaction? So, always remember nucleophile is the molecule which attack double bonded or electron deficient of region whatever we have in the molecule. So, H2 is a nucleophile in this reaction next reaction there you come hydration of alkyne by addition of borane. Borane we have done hydroboration oxidation reaction based same reaction I just write down the reaction hydration of alkynes by the addition of borane. What is the reagent we have here hydroboration oxidation reaction? D H3 with in T HF or B2 H6 because B H3 can exist in dimer form also right. So, B H3 with T HF in the second stage what we take? H2 O2 with OH minus. So, first it forms what? C H3, C H2, D H2 and then two times again the same reaction. So, it forms C H3, C H2 twice B which is nothing but R3 dry alkyne borane. So, here also we have same thing. So, 3 moles of this it eventually gives you H C H sorry H C H2 C double bond C H whole thrice B. We have C H3 C triple bond C H C H3 C H double bond C H addition of H2 O2 OH minus will get attached right. So, OH minus will attack next step name H2 O2 H2 O2 OH minus. So, this forms C H3 C H double bond C H OH plus B OH 3 molecules the reaction is not okay it is exactly same. So, what is this product? This one what is this product? In all right. So, again the product is C H3 C H. So, why do you want it from the outer part? It is a carbonyl. Keto enol we cannot say this one because this is not a keto. But the reaction is same similarly. So, why does it have to be asymmetrical? Symmetrical also you can take. So, you erase the symmetrical. Because it is easier to understand with this, but you can write down the same reaction with this. I will give you the same reaction write down the product in this one. I think you will get C H3 C H O in this. Right not double bond would not be there. C H3 C H O C H3 single bond C H. First of all you get C H2 double bond C H OH and then totomerism this H comes over here C H3 C H O. So, terminal alkynes gives you aldehyde here. If you have non terminal alkyne then it will be a ketone then this keto enol. C H3 C H O. The first product is this C H2 double bond C H OH and then it goes for totomerism form C H3 C double bond O.  Two three more reactions we have write down next. Carboxylic acids. No no no carboxylic acids are not carboxylic acids. Because what happens Carbony compound for definition is the molecule which has this group. Carboxylic acid may this carboxylic acid does not have double bond characteristics because in carboxylic acid what happens C double bond O OH. In some books they have taken carboxylic acid also a carbonyl compound right. But usually we consider only aldehyde or ketone as a carbonyl compound because in carboxylic acid or even if you take amide C double bond O NH2 right here also we have resonance. So, carboxylic acid does not have double bond characteristics. That is why we do not consider this as carbonyl compound. Aldehyde or ketone.


The XS port is synonymous with the identity of Cobb tuning, but it isn't where we started. At first, Supermaps had to be flashed directly to an ECU on a bench outside of the car. It worked, but it was time-consuming and inconvenient. As is often the case, necessity and a bit of frustration led to innovation. In an effort to streamline the Super tuning method, Trey dreamt up the idea of accessing the OEM ECU directly via the OBD-2 port in order to flash modified ROMs to the car with a convenient handheld device that is now known as the Version 1 access port. For the first time, without the need to remove the ECU from the car, a professional tuner could connect their laptop to the ECU while on the dyno and easily make calibration adjustments in real time between pulls. And even more importantly, the average Joe could quickly change between several save maps for their engine at any time and place all with an affordable device that could fit in a glovebox. The release of the Version 1 access port completely transformed Subaru ECU tuning in North America and laid the foundation for the future of Cobb tuning.


Did something special with my ex-girlfriend, so I'm not friends with him anymore. Give us a 360. I love the back. Of course, of course. I love the mullet at the back. The bow can't fade at the front. It's a bit different. That's what the barber wanted to do, you know what I mean?  I was like, do what you want to do, and he said he would do it. Sorry, I didn't know what to do, you know? Did the girls like it? They do, surprisingly. That is surprising, but that's what matters, right? It's very surprising, I know. But they all just come up to me. Even the security guard, you know, she's come up to me as well, so... You got the security guard risen, yeah? Yeah, that one right there. What's your Riz? My Riz. Hi, how are you? I hope you're having a good night. Hey, with Riz. And they all just come flying. It's crazy. I want to give a shout out to Ty's Lomax and Roy Newman.


What's up everyone, Takedown here. Welcome back to another video. Today I'm gonna be unboxing two of these Highland Mint's NHL Trading Coins, Series One 2022. These are really cool. They're at Walmart's. I only found that one Walmart's and then they started popping up everywhere. I've seen these before and I've collected ones from back in the day. One of the sets from the 80s, I have a complete. So I've seen these and I thought these are gonna be really cool, not only for the channel, but for me. But they're also kind of expensive and it's a bigger set than back in the day. I'm not exactly sure, but there is a, I think, partial checklist on the side here, all these players here. So I'm not sure if that's a complete checklist. I haven't really looked into it online, but you can get these guys here, but it does look really cool. Now they are expensive because there's only two coins per box and the box costs $30. So you're paying $15 per coin. Now flipping it over here, there is some really cool stuff you can get. So all of them are limited edition. The lowest one you can get is this 4500 for each player. Each player has 4500 of the, what I'm gonna call base one. Then the silver one is 450, 45 gold and then one platinum, which looks really, really cool. So hopefully we can pull something in this, get something really cool. I'm actually hoping for McDavid, Crosby, Ovechkin, Austin Matthews I'm okay with and a few others, but we're gonna open it up here. I'm gonna, you know what? I'm gonna open up this one first and see what we possibly could get. So this is my first look at these. I just seen these. I decided to pick up two for the channel and to open up and to see possibly what we could get. So right inside, we do have a full checklist here of the players you can get. Now there is actually two rookies here. Colin, Cole, Cole, Caulfield, Montreal, I'm stuttering there, and Zegrez for Anaheim. So those ones are what I believe to be more valuable, but you do have all the different variants and the probabilities of getting some other ones. The rookies have different odds, different ones were made, so that's really cool. And now for the coins. So we do have, up first, we have a Sydney Crosby, which is really cool at a focus here. Sydney Crosby, that is really cool. This is just the base, so out of 4,500, but that is still a really cool coin, look at that. So that is nice, and we do have one more inside here, and that is a Patrick Kane. Now this is the silver, so this is one step up from, I believe it's silver. Yeah, it says on the back here, silver plates out of 450, at least it tells you on the back of them, that's really cool as well, so you don't have to guess. But a silver Patrick Kane, who I also collect. So that is really cool. Let's check out the next box here. I'm actually really impressed, the quality, the design of them, they look really good, and the fact that they're colored. We do have another checklist, so you get a checklist in every box, which is awesome that you can actually use as a checklist and check off. I thought it was just gonna be what is on the box here, which is kinda hard to use as a checklist. It's easier to actually have something like this where you can check off along the way. And it has it for all, if you notice here, it has it for all versions. So the base, silver plate, gold plate, and then the one ounce silver or platinum or whatever you're gonna call it, that's really cool, and it does have the rookies on there as well. Next up we're gonna have Andre, I always butcher his last name, so I'm not even gonna try. Now, this isn't really a player that I collect. We'll see kind of what this is worth, we'll have to look it up, since he's a two times Stanley Cup champion, but that is a really cool card. I had a 400, sorry, I almost said 450. 4,500, and there is one left, and I'm really excited about this one, because this is one that I wanted, and that is Connor, frickin' McDavid, look at this, let it focus, look at the quality in that. That just looks amazing. They actually do have some weights to it, so it's kind of a little heavier than a tuning. I would say maybe possibly the weight of two Canadian tunies, but it is just awesome, so you have the player, you have their jersey behind them here, you have the team they play for, their name up at the top here, it has the team colors, which is awesome, and this one here again is the, what I'm gonna call the base one again, which is out of 4,500, which is awesome, but all of them are limited edition, which is really cool, and I'm a huge, huge support. So I love that, and they just look really, really cool. So again, they're on the pricier side of things, but what I've seen them so far is the base ones anywhere from 10, maybe five to $10 depending on the player, better players like McDavid and Crosby around the $15 mark, which is what you pay for them, so it's not too much less than, it's not like buying a pack of hockey cards and hoping that there's one expensive card in there, but you get all base, so you get all lower end stuff. You are gonna hopefully get each point, five to maybe $15 depending on the player. The silver ones, I'm not sure what they're worth with this Patrick Kane is worth, the silver plated out of 450, but it is really cool as well, and then of course the possibility of getting the gold ones, or even the one ounce silver, which I'm calling platinum, which I'm not sure if that's what they're going by, but those ones are out of one, there is only one, so let's say this one was that silver one, the one ounce silver or platinum I'm calling it, for Patrick Kane, it would be the only one for Patrick Kane in that quality, in that, it's one of one, so this is one out of 450, but the other one is one of one, and let's see if it says here, I think it says on the back here, the gold one is out of 45, so it's a little bit more valuable, so I don't know what those ones are worth, but this is still pretty cool, hopefully I might pick these up in the future, but they are kind of expensive, so I'm not 100% sure what I want to do, comment down below if you guys want to see more of this on the channel, or if you guys think I should look at other products, regardless, I'm gonna see you guys in the next video, please take care, peace.


This video is sponsored by Paradox Interactive. You see, they approach me with a job and like every job that comes across my desk, I said, I'll think about it. You see, sometimes people want to promote their products and well, I'm just not that interested. That ain't saying they're bad products. All I'm saying is, I'm a busy guy. Then the gravity of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks. This is more than just a job. This affects my heritage, my pride in my country. They're coming for the alcohol. Prohibition, they call it. Fancy men using fancy words to take away something they don't got nothing to do with. And normally, they get away with these kind of things. But this is where I draw the line. You don't. No, you can't take away alcohol from an Irish man without a few kneecaps getting bust. So that's where we find ourselves. It's time to bust some kneecaps.  No, Jesus. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'll be playing a game.  Sorry. Sorry, I've been having issues with my throat. So the voice keeps kind of messing up like that. We're going to be playing Empire of Sin. Thank you to Paradox for the sponsor. There's a link in the description if you want to check out the game for yourself. But let's jump right in. Oh, yes. I have your phones today. I can't do the headset snap. It doesn't really work with the hat. All right, here we are, Empire of Sin. I love the kind of aesthetic of these games I really do. And I feel really immersed now because of the way I'm dressed. You're yours. My lady. I can finally do that with a fedora. My life is complete. Okay, so the person I'm playing is Dino Bannon, who was a bootlegger, I believe, apparently at one point making about a million dollars a year on alcohol. He's part of the north side mob until his death in 1924. Wait a second. Oh no. Okay. Okay. No, it's fine. It's one o'clock. I still got a couple of hours left in me. That's great. And this is true. He died on my birthday.  It's not the greatest gift, but it's the thought that counts. You and me? We're going to clean up this town. Yep. You and me. But I'm you. So you and you. Me and me, whichever you prefer. Hard time florist, full time gangster. I forgot about that. Sounds like the worst Tinder bio I've ever heard. What troubles you, my son? Oh, I get to pick my answers. We missed you at church last Sunday. Oh God, I missed church. Is there something I can do to make up for it? Don't tell him I've missed every Sunday for the past five years. I fear that we may not be able to put up the new roof next summer as we had hoped. And if it does go up, sadly, we may have to skip out on the gold plating. Not the gold plating, father. Is there anything I can do? What do you need me to do? Quite simply, this layer must be destroyed, ripped clean from the earth, and soon. This priest isn't that peaceful. For the church? Oh, yeah, sure. I can kill for the church. Is there another way, father? No, no. I'm all for it. Here, for your trouble. I can't take that, father. The church needs it more than I do. No, no, thanks. Take it. Thank you. I mean, I need gold plating, too. It's not just the church. No, don't give me Al Capone quotes. Give me Irish mobster quotes. Like, call me Kevin. Give me a call me Kevin quote in there. Racket unlocked. Speak easy. All right, it's time to sell alcohol and kill people. For the church, though. For the church. The priest is looking out the window, like, oh, God, really? I asked this guy to do my bidding. Don't look left or right, Dean. It shows weakness. Tog-occupied racket. All right, I can deal with some thugs. Attack. All right, I say we teach him a lesson with our first move. We'll use our special ability. Oh my God, what was that? That move was called Blasphemy, and he just kind of exploded. Oh my God, there's so many of them. They can slid a little old me. Keep coming one at a time, please. And don't have guns. Oh no, he has a gun. I hope it's not 1924, because I think the writing's on the wall. I'm not sure what my gun is. It looks very similar to mine, except his doesn't have a trigger. This is fake, by the way, so all right. Just so you're aware. Don't call the police on me. Dean, you're surrounded. Okay, I say we open fire on this dude. He seems like the best possibility. Oh my God, he just took the bullet. Please kill him this time. Oh no, this is not looking good at all. No, Dean, he's behind you. Oh, he missed. Thank God. Oh no. No, Dean, he's behind you. Okay, he didn't miss. Oh my God, and they just shot me. All right, how about a melee attack with just your fists? Oh no, I attacked the wrong person. I just ran into the open. Oh, what a legend, though. Even the sounds, I'm just like, dude, I'm sorry. He's getting destroyed. No, no plural. I came alone. Yeah, that's right.  I'm dead. Okay, this time, I'm not going to do that. I have been buried four years prematurely. Good to see you again. Hey, you wouldn't have any of that sacramental wine, would you? That was actually legal, funnily enough, back in the prohibition era. Never a better time to join the priesthood. All right, Dean, and this is it. This is the canon story. You want more pointers about how combat... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, police officer. All right, blasphemy it is then. For the church. Everyone get out of the way. There's so many civilians between us. I don't think that was a good idea, but I got 73 bucks, so not my worst idea. I'm going to enter my own speakeasy and take a look around. Maybe if I got drunk in my own speakeasy, then I can withstand a few more bullets. Yes, music. Dean loves music. What can I do for you? Just give me a drink. Now has the drunk trade. Perfect. What does that give me? He's falling all over the place. All right, I'm going to hire some mobsters as well, because I kind of need some help. You're my under boss immediately, the new person. Oh, I can't do that. Yes, probably for the best, to be fair. All right, and I'm going to buy a submachine gun to make it a little bit easier on myself. Okay, I'm going to try and find this guy, George, because I want to recruit people, because I clearly can't do this alone. This is pretty cool as well. Like, if I pick this guy, for example, he doesn't like these people. The thumbs up are the middle finger. I love it. Oh, she loves the guy I hired. You're drunk. Minus 25 marksmanship minus one movement.  All right, Georgie. Boy, oh, come on, help me out. I'll get you a nice bouquet of pansies. There's trouble with the church and there's a den of sin opening in the neighborhood. A what? A brothel. Sorry. I don't know why I was talking like that. He says after he knocks some sense into my bartender, he'll be in. I'm not going to stick up for my staff. That's fine. I'll meet you there. Can I get you to come with me as well? Add to group. You know what they say. All right, now that we're hiding behind the car, wait, let's get my crewmate into a different position here and I'll be over here. Stop beeping at me. I'm a mobster and you will be in big, big trouble. Now burst fire this dude. Yes. Yes. Good job. I love my new gun. Blast for me time. Blast knock. Perfect. Now see here, see we got you surrounded. Grover over here. Oh my god, Grover. I just wanted to rough him up a bit. We can't even have an open casket after that. I'm just going to go over and smack him. He's one health. There you go. That's it. I need to drink myself at this point, but not to worry because drinking alcohol wasn't illegal in prohibition. It was, I believe, making it, transporting it and selling it. So I'm fine. Suddenly doesn't hurt so much anymore. Take him out, Grover. Yes. That was so successful. Neither of us even got hit. Oh, I'm so good at fighting and I found a shotgun. Oh, this is the best day ever. And now we'll go talk to what's his face. I don't know. Watch out. Hey, Georgie. I didn't forget your name at all. Let's get in there before they get away. I didn't know he was standing there. Otherwise I could have used him too, but me and Grover proved our point. Oh no. Oh, there's someone right next to us. Hold on, Grover. Where are you going? Open fire, Dean. You did what I said, but you didn't hit him. Grover over here is just amazing at what he does. I am so proud of Grover. And George is hitting over there. Okay, you're making me look a little bit bad now. First fire. Watch out for friendly fire there, Dean. Oh, poor Grover. Don't worry. Grover can handle himself. You get by with a little help from your friends. Look at that shot. Okay, he redeemed himself. I got a cotton padded vest and a rifle. You've taken over derelict building. What'll I do? Raise it. Just destroy it immediately. Oh, you can go in and smash up the place. I think take over and we'll turn it into the father Higgins was annoyed that it was a brothel. What if I just make another brothel rename building? I'm going to call it Higgins house. I named it after the priest. It's a brothel. I don't think the priest's going to be happy. Where's George? Did he leave already? I need to talk to him. Why is there liquid everywhere? You know what I won't even ask? Georgie, my bio. Good job in there. Father Higgins is going to jump out of his frock when you tell him we took care of this place. Yep. Higgins house has turned over a newly. Oh, the prosperity has changed from mediocre to bustling. I tell you, nothing changes up a neighborhood like changing a brothel into a slightly fancier brothel. Grover monks has learned new talent. Oh, what have you learned now? I hope it's the ukulele. He grew over it. Killing a target grants you a free bonus move. Yes. Yes, I want that. Hey, dogs, what are you doing in my neighborhood? My accent keeps changing. My guy's having a bit of an identity crisis.  It's getting embarrassing. Grover here has to keep finishing them off for you. The one thing he can do well is blasphemy. It works really well. It's like a one shot every time. I found some wizard oil. I don't know about that. I learned a talent. Instead of dying now when I reach zero, I'm guaranteed to bleed out. I know it means time to revive me, but honestly, it just sounds like guaranteeing myself a horrible death. Vacant buildings can be purchased and turned into rackets. Oh, I could just buy this one. Okay, that's a lot more money than I have. I could make a hotel, but it needs synergy in the neighborhood. And I guess they don't like me. All right, fine. I don't know why they don't like me as I push this woman down the street. Where's Father Higgins? I love the map, by the way. It looks great. Look at this racket he is going. The greatest racket of all. That place is huge. There we go. Okay, there he is. Just waiting for me. Yeah, that's dealt with. Let's just not go into details, Father, for your own sake. Really, for my sake, though. With that vial established and gone, our parachutes will feel much safer on their way to church. Yeah, sure. Yes, too grand. Oh my God, where's he off to? He's running to check out the new brothel, I think. Where is Grover? I can't fight without Grover. Honestly, he should be the one in charge. Oh, I can rename him. I renamed him to unnamed henchman just so he doesn't get too ahead of himself. And this guy's a demolitionist. Oh my God, look at that outfit. We have the same fashion sense. I mean, I wanted that outfit, but Paradox was saying maybe it's a bit unsuitable.  We're just going to call him tiny. Come on, unnamed and tiny. Let's get going. Oh no, I met a new faction.  Oh, I don't know how this. All right, let's request a sit down. Bonjour, no, Mr. Oben. How do they say that in Irish anyway? Top of the morning is something like that. You got the wrong Irish man. Let's jacksepticeye. What I hear about Father Higgins ain't exactly the best influence on someone like my brother. Is it because of that brothel he owns? Higgins house? Yeah, I know. It's kind of weird for a priest, huh?  Let's just get down to business. My guy's been way more hostile than I want to be. But that doesn't mean we can't help each other. I mentioned just a full on band over to the right just playing this song as we're talking. I don't know what we're making a deal to. I think he's going to help me with men and I'm going to help him do up his speakeasies. I mean, I am a florist after all. I know what to do with plants and whatnot. All right, I'm going to go to a nearby neighborhood and try and open a casino or at least the tactic casino. All right, we're in the casino. Now ambush boys throw a bomb at him tiny. This is so overkill. All right, he's dying. They're all in overwatch. Just watching this hallway waiting. Here we go. Yes. Good job, everyone. Racket taken over. This is like Courtney's blood lords. I've never even met these people. I just came in. I kind of want to take over it, but I also kind of want to just destroy the building. You know what? I got to see what it's like. Destroy it. So unnecessary. Come on lads, across the street now. Hey guys, we're the new band. Tiny and the tenors are called. All right, ambush. Oh no, there's a guy right next to us. I didn't see him. All right, burst fire him. Dean, you missed most of your shots as always. What's new? Don't worry, you get another shot. No, you still missed. Don't worry, unnamed has got this fire. Tiny has an arm on him. Time for the blasphemy shot, Dean. Look at this across the bar. Yes, he's accuracy with that is amazing. I'm going to take over this one. Change it into a casino, I'm going to call it Higgins Blackjack. They're all named after Father Higgins. He's going to hate me. Look at this for a makeover. I no wonder your man wanted my help with interior design. What was that? Did something fall down? We shouldn't have removed that with supporting wall. They're learning such cool abilities. I'm going to open another throttle. I'm just buying this building Higgins pad for Father Higgins mission complete. Break by break. All right, gentlemen, you have had a fantastic day. Honestly, super productive. We did prove that friendship can solve everything because everything turned as soon as I relied on my friends. Good old unnamed and tiny, but we are going to end it there. I hope you enjoyed the video paradox. Thank you so much for the sponsor. This game is a delight. As I said, there's a link in the description if you want to check it out. I know I'll be playing more of this on my own time. I just love this kind of time period prohibition and all that is super interesting. It really is. I hope you enjoyed. I appreciate you watching as always, folks, and I hope to see you next time. Bye for now.


Well hello everybody and welcome back to my channel. Today we're doing a plan with me and we are working on Monday January 23rd through Sunday January 29th. As always let's take a look back at last week. Today is currently Sunday January 22nd. I just went to Financial Peace University and now I am filming. I actually just filmed my FPU update. Now I'm filming my plan with me and then I have my February budget that is coming up on Wednesday for you guys too. Fun things that happened this week. My dog Doyle turned 10 so he is officially my old stinky man and that was kind of fun and actually I went to lunch with my friend Jody. She is at Life's Organized Chaos here on YouTube. I will link her channel below. She does very similar content that I do. She does plan with me. She does budget style videos. She doesn't actually do like showing her budget videos but she shows like her setup and stuff too which is really cool. Also something fun that I did this week is I hired a realtor because I am starting to look for homes. When I actually start looking for homes I will be taking you guys along on my journey but that hasn't started happening yet but we just had our initial meeting of about what I'm looking for and like all that good stuff so anyway that's going to be happening. So let's do this week. So I actually pulled some washi so I actually was wrapping a bunch of washi for Jody. She's been on this money saving journey as well as I have and I kind of rediscovered some of my like skinny washi I guess so as I was like washing washing as I was wrapping washi for her I'm like you know what I need to start using some of this again but she's also going through Financial Peace University which is what I'm going through as well that video will be up on Friday if you guys want to watch it and yeah so figured I would wrap some you know kind of more basic stuff for her and I was like why don't I ever use this stuff so I don't know. Now I'm using it long story long though I'm using it so I'm not really going with any like particular theme this week. I really haven't been doing like tons of themes recently. I don't know why I don't know I'm just like I'm into planning obviously but like I think I tried for so long to be so like themey and different and I just it's not that I don't care it's just that if I'm being totally honest I just don't have the time to dedicate to like think about what theme is this week gonna be. It's kind of like I'm so over the themes and now that I say that I'll probably do a theme next week or something but you guys know what I'm saying though. All right so all of my work is in all right I'll make labels for those in a moment and I think I'm gonna have a bonus video this week I've had this other video this 2016 video calendar that I filmed like honestly quite a while ago but I just haven't published yet and I think I'm just gonna publish it like this sometime this week either Tuesday or Thursday because honestly it just needs to get up and it's kind of like one of those videos that to me is more in a timely manner I would say so I just need to put it up I just need to bite the bullet and put it up it's edited and everything it's I believe it's already even uploaded into my YouTube channel but I just haven't made it like public yet so it's just one of those things sometimes I am just like a professional procrastinator but that's okay and then I have this little cute washi sample of a bunch of different colors so I figured purple purple kind of went with this so we're just gonna do it oh and this is like almost exactly as much washi as I need so that's perfect it makes me feel like so satisfied when I finally like use all of my planning supplies it gives me like so much joy in my heart to do that like finishing a whole sheet of stickers is like bliss for me I'm just like yes I finished it see I didn't waste my money all right so there's that perfect all right so I've got my FPU class actually I'm gonna use this like little tail that was left over and put this right over here if I can put it in properly put it in that 10 my class is at actually at like 10 15 my goodness here we go oh it's kind of janky at the end there there we go that looks a little bit better okay wonderful I like the way that looks so let me work on my work labels actually let's see here all right let's do some work labels actually I already have this one from the other week all right if you guys hear any like loud gnawing in the background that's my dog he's working on a bone right now and I really don't feel like getting up and taking it away from him because he gets all mad about it and then he clanks around on the hard floor and that irritates me even more so get out it's okay he's having all the fun over there okay so work work work work work work work work all right got the work in perfect okay so let's put in some videos all right I think I'm gonna put these in on this and actually Jody from Life's Organized Chaos gave me these um for a birthday present those thank you Jody if you're watching um so I'm gonna put all of my youtube videos in here these are super cute and they're like teensy tiny they're from a park's party is what they're from so I'd never heard of that sticker shop but um Jody had ordered from there and um yeah so so like oh my gosh these are like super cute and really really functional and yeah so okay I need four of these because I'm gonna do four videos this week okay so I got all my videos written out and hey I wanted to talk to you guys about YouTube really quick so I just actually pulled my stats this morning um before I filmed this because I wanted to just chat with you guys about some stuff so as some of you know that I've been a long time subscriber you know that my channel has kind of done some weird things in the last like month month and a half or so so I was looking at my stats in the last 28 days I have gained over 6,000 new subscribers so thank you so much that means so much to me that you guys actually want to watch my content that's like pretty mind-blowing and amazing so essentially my channel has more than doubled in the last month so what that means is is there's lots of new people which hello to the new people out there um leave a thumbs up if you're a new person but anyway what's happening is that there's a lot of people that are commenting on a lot of different videos which thank you so much for commenting but I feel so bad because I am missing so many comments and I know you guys have a lot of questions about certain things and I just can't get to everybody anymore I used to be able to and I'm just unfortunately not able to any longer really the reason I the reason that I'm not able to get to everybody is because I have a regular full-time job I do not do YouTube full time maybe someday I will I don't know but I'm not at that point where I can quit my full-time job and respond back to comments but I'm just letting you guys know if for some reason you need to talk to me about something feel free to look in the bottom bar below I will see something that will come through on email like my personal email it's like favorite period daughter period Emily at gmail.com feel free to check that out down below as well as if you are a part of my Facebook page I am more apt to see a message come through on my Facebook page as well so if you need to talk to me about something check out those links also one more thing I want to address is I have had several like at least 10 maybe 15 emails about this in the last month or so wondering if I do help would help someone do like financial counseling and I don't do that I am not a financial person I just love sharing my story with you guys so that's why I do financial videos I am in no position to give any kind of financial advice the place that I would refer you to would be Dave Ramsey I will put his website down below if anyone is interested in checking him out that's the program that I have followed for a few years and I was actually like doing his program before I even knew what his program was honestly so that being said I highly recommend Dave Ramsey for any of your financial needs so definitely check him out it's worth your while so anyway I want to kind of get that out of the way so I could chat with you guys about that but I just feel so bad like I've just been feeling a lot of major overwhelm because of that and it's just like I feel bad that I can't talk to everybody anymore and it just it makes me really sad but also it's really a positive thing because the channel is growing in the way that I would want it to it's just all happening at the same time it's not gradual this thing is like kind of booming and I'm just experiencing a lot experiencing a lot of overwhelm not in a bad way but in a way that I can't do what I used to do for you guys so I just want to let you know I'm not not responding back because of a specific reason it's just that there's so many comments that I can't keep up with them especially when they're on super old videos so any who so that's all I wanted to say about that and also I'm going to be using this this is the Aaron Kondren designer sticker book this is the monthly collection edition two I'm going to use on the April sheet I'm going to use this little purple guy right here just put in my financial class fpu also I do have a code for erid kondren if you guys want to buy anything from her this sticker book is from her as well as these like little pink stickers that I put on the planners from erin kondren this is the 7x9 so it's the regular size not the upgraded larger size of a planner and I'm in the hourly in the neutral version with a silver coil so I know I get a lot of questions about that and I should probably change my youtube description um so I actually tell you guys like what kind of planner I use I just haven't done it yet I just haven't done it yet and then this little guy's from coffee break planner these work stickers are from there and then also this little trash is from coffee break planner as well there's also a discount code um for coffee break planner as well um and then also if you sign up under the erin kondren link that is down below you'll receive a if it's your first time ordering you'll receive a $10 off coupon code emailed to you that email typically takes anywhere from a couple of minutes to a couple of hours to generate it's a unique coupon code you use it at checkout and then if you choose to use your coupon code once your item ships they actually send me a $10 off coupon code so then I can bring you guys massive giveaways and show you guys all the fun things that are new from erin kondren so anyway that really helps me out and supports my channel as well so thank you to everyone who's already used it so also I need to do some filming and that will probably happen on Sunday when I get home I just generally like to do filming on Sundays just honestly um and then also I need to do my day ramsey budget which I will do sometime this week do my fpu budget I'll still do my normal budget but I need to do an fpu budget um all right so I think I'm probably going to do the fpu budget sometime this week and I'll just do it after work one day maybe like I think I'll do it on oops I'll do it on Wednesday I'll have time then to sit down and do the things um actually I got these from a friend of mine she actually bought them from erin kondren so this says groceries on it so I'm gonna use this and I think I'll probably end up going grocery shopping probably on Friday because I have such a rockin personal life you guys which is obviously a joke if you've watched my channel for more than a minute um but I will be going to Aldi to get some groceries I love these little grocery box things from coffee break planner they're super freaking cute they're like one of my favorites these two are probably like two of my favorite sheets that I've ever gotten from Catherine shop they're super freaking cute what else do I need to do okay I don't know um at some point I actually need to go to Target so guess what I'm actually gonna use this thing over here as a to do I literally can't remember the last time I actually used my sidebar maybe someone can tell me it's been a while I need to go to Target because I need to do a return I bought a shirt a while ago and I didn't try it on because I just don't try stuff on which I totally should but whatever um but I need to go to Target at some point this week I just don't know what day I'm gonna go so I don't want to put that in yet but anyway my week is like super boring I'm gonna do laundry at some point one of these days I just don't have laundry stickers sitting out so
