This is covering the spread part of the Fandall podcast network a lot going on on this Monday We of course have a six-game NBA slated as they start to ramp up towards the playoffs as we are now into March But also NFL combine has wrapped up in a lot of key reporting out of the combine Obviously, we're not going to take away a lot from a betting perspective from the testing numbers But the reporting it could be impactful with divisional markets now up at Fandall sports We're going to talk to you Ryan Williams getting his read on both of those things Knights NBA slate and key takeaways from the NFL Scouting combine as we dig in to Fandall sportsbooks odds for today This is covering the spread right here on the Fandall podcast network and Fandall research. My name is Jim Sonnis I am a managing editor of digital media for Fandall research Joined here as mentioned by Ryan Williams check him out on Twitter at Ryan Alexander underscore W Ryan fun night on tafford tonight a both looking back at the NBA the NFL combine and looking at a six-game NBA slate How you doing today? Is it isn't a fun one Jim? I mean, we got a weird one coming up on this six-game or with some back-to-back since but no anything will be better than a Sunday With the Warriors blowout With the Celtics just not fun And it has been a fun NBA season in general and especially after the all-star break You can really tell that some of these teams are ramping it up, especially the young teams there in the West So no, I I say that tongue-in-cheek. I'm really excited to dive into the slate with you a lot of injury news That's affecting the slate from the early game So definitely something that we want to monitor here early But it is nice when we have some of these early locks, especially on a six-game slate So that we only have to worry about a couple games later on. Yeah I mean, this is why I have you here because I have no idea if it's a fun slate or not This is why I got a Ryan Williams my corner to tell me.  Maybe that's tainting my view of this slate and slanting things in that direction We'll talk to Ryan to get his read on tonight's slate and then talk some NFL We'll talk about potential Kirk Cousins landing spots and what that could mean here later on today But first a reminder to make sure you're subscribed to covering the spread wherever you get your podcast We are here five days per week every single week on the covering the spread podcast feed Just search for covering the spread wherever you get your podcast If you like what you hear leave us a five-star rating on Apple podcasts or Spotify You can also find this show on the fan dual YouTube page and over on fan dual TV plus Right, let's begin things by talking about the NBA as mentioned. It's a six-game slate here So some wonky spreads as you mentioned some back-to-backs as well Let's start things off with the traditional markets any spreads totals or money lines to stand out to you for tonight Yeah, so from the traditional market standpoint You know, I really feel like the lines where they opened up for this slate are absolutely Perfect or I guess have been adjusted since they've opened of some look ahead lines have really, you know Kind of been wonky. I was looking at the Clippers When they were at five and a half just a point and a half over that kind of magic number of five in the NBA As most games tend to land on that number of the Clippers aren't a back-to-back But they have been pretty good straight up on back-to-backs this season They're foreign to on back-to-backs for whatever reason though This team gears up and listen the Clippers are looking at their future and knowing that things, you know Are coming into fruition as far as like, you know We're a month away from when the playoffs are gonna be starting And so this is a huge opportunity for them, you know To kind of take it to the former coach of the Clippers Doc Rivers here with the Bucks who have been absolutely incredible since the All-Star break You know, we kind of talked about them and their future odds leading into the All-Star break and the Bucks have really got it coming together But this would be, you know, definitely a big win for the Clippers Even if they were to keep this game close, you know to be able to kind of get the haters out of there So I am looking at the five there for the Clippers that they are getting I also think the Washington Wizards getting six. We're not gonna have Laurie Markin in for this game We're not gonna have, you know, there's the Walker Kessler is questionable for Utah and the Wizards have been so Tough to trust especially from a betting standpoint to be able to get in on them But with so many key pieces missing there like this is a time where, you know Advia and Kuzma and pool off the bench Ty's Jones like they could really get something going here in this fast-paced matchup We're looking at that 240 number And I don't actually necessarily hate that number of 240 going over just because of the way these two teams play and the Wizards are Just gonna keep getting shot after shot after shot up Definitely like looking that way. The early games are tough, Jim You know, we got a 14 point spray like you mentioned with Minnesota Went against Portland that number being close to 15. It's actually been bet down So the spread has kind of closed the gap I believe it was right around 14 and a half maybe 15 Initially and so, you know, you definitely look at that with the Timberwolves on the back-to-back Just hard to trust Portland and then the Memphis in Brooklyn side of things like 208 is such a low number in today's NBA I'm willing to go under on this. I mean the Grizzly that's just played last week The Grizzlies couldn't even get to 90 points. I believe their team total is right around 99 99 and a half points for tonight I'm actually looking at you know, potentially taking that under just because without Jaren Jackson jr. And Jaren Jackson jr. Played in that matchup when these two teams faced last week and he won't be out There the Smith, it's Grizzly's team is just you know, they're they're putting it together With pieces that are kind of just feel like quote-unquote off the street, you know Anybody who makes it into the NBA you got to respect them But you know, it just doesn't seem like they are a well put together NBA team at this point And that's what I spread is and honestly, you know with the new coach there For the Brooklyn Nets since he's come in the Nets have actually been taking care of business and and we like their chances Even without cam Thomas been being in the lineup So the spread kind of worries me a little bit, but I definitely be looking at it under there So that's a two-way right now for the Grizzlies and Nets potentially looking at it under despite the fact It is such a low total in that one wanted to go back here to the Clippers and the Bucks game you mentioned that was five and a half It's now down to five How much value is there love to squeeze on this one right now if it were to get to four and a half with that The situation where you would be jumping out and no longer it's in the Clippers or you think they're the right side in this game Only to bet this down to potentially four and a half if it were to get there Yeah, I mean you when you look at it from a money line perspective gym That's what makes it kind of intriguing because even with even with that number being at five You know the plus 172 not quite at the two to one that you normally expect but again, it's the it's the Clippers I think they're just getting a lot of respect from that market if it did come under the five number Yeah, I would probably be looking at the Milwaukee Bucks side, especially with it being at home These two teams I believe are facing again Maybe later this week or early next week. I believe it's in three games or so for the Clippers So they'll have that home matchup to be able to get revenge on and we could definitely be looking at that depending on how how this game goes, but But yeah, the five numbers just so key that if we were to go under it I'd probably be out on the Clippers at that point. Okay, so interest in the Clippers plus five Potentially the money line of plus 172 the Wizards plus six and then the under for the Grizzlies and the Nets That is at 208 and it just went back to five and a half So rest assured there on the Clippers and the Bucks you can still get that five and a half right now at Fan Duel Sportsbook What about player props any of those stand out to you for tonight Ryan? Yeah, so if we're talking about player props, I'm going to go back to my card here and just pull it up I mean the Washington Wizards in Utah game like anytime we have a total that is around 240 or higher And especially you guys expected to miss. This is always going to be one of the first places I go When we're looking at Denny Odvia, you know his over 14 and a half points I absolutely love you're getting minus 108 on that number It might even get you know, we might even get plus money to him as we get closer to Closer to luck because we kind of know who the usual suspects are going to be Taylor Hendricks for the Utah Jazz is probably he's been getting spot starts already But without Laurie marketing being out there I believe his rebound chances are going to be you know pretty pretty raised there And so when you're looking at his number at over seven and a half rebounds at plus 102 again I expect a ton of shots to be up in this game So probably a lot of rebound chances and just getting plus number plus money on that number is interesting Even John Collins, you know, he's at 10 and a half right now, but that's plus money I think that these bigs are definitely going to have to show up tonight For Utah to to have chances and have possessions We got a way to see what the backcourt is looking like for For the Utah Jazz as Jordan Clarkson has been missing some games But I definitely would have some interest in him If those lines get released just because of what we're what we're expecting from that game When we look elsewhere I'm going to pull this up real quick The other one that I was looking at in the Portland and Minnesota game with Minnesota being on the back to back Is the points total on Anthony Simons? We've seen this kind of fluctuate already this morning I believe it was right around 20 maybe 19 and a half now It's at 20 and a half at minus 115 still like that number This guy has been really tough to kind of trust in the vacuum He seems like you know, he just came off a 30 point game and when he has big games He tends to not show up in the previous games But this is going to be a game where should be higher higher pace for Portland He's honestly been the only one that you can be able to trust and probably why we only have the prop market Open for Anthony Simons at this point because Jeremiah Grant hasn't been showing up DeAndre Aten hasn't been able to suit up the past couple of games And if the trailblazers want any chance of staying in this game keeping it closed potentially winning this game I believe it's going to come off the heels of Anthony Simon. So I absolutely love getting him at 20 and a half tonight Yeah, it's a 20 and a half and right now the over is a minus 115 on that and you mentioned the inconsistency With Simon's that's definitely been the case you dig into his most recent game logs But there are some spike games in there. Do you have any consideration to going with an alternate market here? For Simon's 25 plus points is plus 2 10 It is a tough defensive matchup. The wolves has some great defenders out there as well Or do you think that that's kind of why you're shying away from the alt market sticking with the traditional market at 20 and a half No, yeah 20 20 and a half is is kind of where I really like that that number But yeah when we go to 25 points and you're getting 2 to 1 on that like yeah, there's some interesting merit in there You're looking at infany simons. He's actually played against this team before and has not hit Over the 20 and a half number and either one of these most recent matchups However, he did take 15 shots and 19 shots respect respectively and took eight threes in one game and in 10 threes in the other So when i'm looking at that over, you know, if i'm looking at that alternate total Like let's get in on the action on his made threes as well to be able to parlay those two together He's a he's kind of you know a heat check type of person That was the case when he was kind of backing up The guys of cj mccallum and damian littler when they played in portland as well So his over three and a half number on threes is plus 120 To be able to parlay that is nice, but yeah when we look at the alternate market, you know four threes Um, I'm sorry, uh five threes is plus 300 Even if you get to six threes that's seven seven to one on that So, you know for him to be able to get to those points. He is a he is a shooter Um, he's not somebody who's going to take it inside most of the time So yeah, that's where we can really get action on these alternate markets and and making it You know make it make it interesting Don't have to go the full unit half a unit a quarter of a unit Would still be enticing to be able to get on some of those Right good way to think about things kind of deciding which market to take advantage of some volatility with simons whether that be All market for total points or looking at the made three categories mentioned over three and a half made threes is plus 120 But then a five plus made threes three to one and then six plus made threes is seven to one as well other Prop that uh, ryan mentioned taylor hinders or seven F rebounds plus 102 and denny adiva, uh over 14 points Which is minus 108 Let's talk some NFL right now ryan because as mentioned we had the combine this past week and again You know not going to take a lot away from the testing numbers We will later on once there are more draft props up But I think the biggest takeaway from this combine was a lot of buzz about the elana falcons odds to land Kurt cousins sounds like the vikings are bracing as if cousins may not be able to resign with them The falcons aggressive in the veteran quarterback market be it with cousins baker mayfield guys like that They're currently plus 150 to win the nfc south Is that number tempting to you or do you want confirmation on cousins making the leap before you decide to invest in the elana falcons? Yeah, you know It's interesting jim because as we were going into this and we were talking about this um Before I was actually interested in possibly taking this number at 150 was so much Kind of up in the air and not really sure what the state of the nfc south looks like and then we're talking here And as we're talking we get the news that mike evans resigns with the bucks Which baker may feel back there we go. Yeah baker may feel back to the bucks What was not a foregone conclusion? And I do think you know a lot of what we think about the nfc or i'm sorry the nfl Kind of state of where things are and where landing spots should be and this and that Changed when we figured out the cap number was going to be that 15 percent higher than what we originally thought So a lot of these teams are able to you know Are the chiefs able to get luxurious need and chris jones now and you know all these other things Um, it makes it makes things a lot more easy. So uh with the bucks getting mike evans back I think that there's a good chance that they Resigned baker mayfield and now at two at two and a half to one like the bucks are still intriguing to me So without getting that news on the lana falcons like it does make it tough Like lana just had so many options like are the bear are they going to trade you know for just infield with the bears Are they going to try and draft one of these quarterbacks? You know, it's like there's so much up in the air that 150 doesn't feel that great and also jim Like to answer your question just tenfold This is a market where like we should be taking long shots at this point because things change so much throughout the course Of the season like there's so much overreaction that happens within the first weeks of the NFL that I hate having favorites Um necessarily in these markets unless i'm really sure that the number is like only going to change in a drastic way toward the other side So like, you know, not to just bounce around for your question But like a team like the rams, you know, who's for for 20 um to win the west right now As you know People are picking them potentially to make a super ball as their window like is dwindling and we know that McVeigh just went back there Stafford is he gonna be healthy for another year like puke is coming into his fold But do they bring more pieces in on on defense? They have a first round pick for the first time in like seven years or whatever the case may be like It's just insane. So like these are the long shots I want to take also the new york jets at being close to three to one like Do we forget that erin rogers is potentially going to come back like he's not Going he's not going out into the sunset after the way that last season ended. And so The best thing that I like to do at this point in time Is to take some of the long shots in this market and have those tickets to where i'm looking at it where You know during the season are these going to be favorites at any point in time and we're going to be wanting to hold Those tickets Yeah, baker, uh, or mike evans resigning with the bucks according to adam shefter Two-year 52 million dollar contract their reporting had been that evans wanted to test free agency for the first time in his career But yeah decides to run it back with the box probably his final contract for that two-year deal We'll see if baker goes back there, but I want to go back to this nsc south because I agree with you. Um, I think honestly ryan if you told me right now That okay kurt cousins 100 signs with the falcons Would you take 150 and I would hesitate still? I I had talked on this show before the combine about some things I wanted to watch and one of the I think the biggest question as far as like betting markets was Where does kurt cousins go because if he goes to minnesota, they could be viable the nsc north if he goes to Atlanta They could be viable in the nsc south But then you see this market and see that they are like decently favored because they're plus 150 the buccaneers are plus 250 And like you guaranteed me right now the cousins is there I still don't know if I would take plus 150 and it's not a guarantee that cousins does go there either so i'm on board with you where Like I want to buy into the falcons because I think that they have they have good playmakers They've got a defense that made pretty big strides last year as well But the market wants to buy into the more than I do which means I just can't do it And that kind of buns me out honestly because I thought we might I want to Take advantage of the fact that I think cousins is better than given Respect for for these kinds of markets not for like winning superbowl markets, but like I don't think I can with where the market currently is No, and yeah, I mean, you know, that's again. This is where it becomes fun though. Jim is like, okay So let's say that kurt cousins lands in Atlanta, right? And so like if if we are thinking that they're this Heavy of a favorite like if Atlanta is this better this much better than all the other teams in the nsc south They're making the playoffs right and so now we think about like, okay So like what does that mean? Record wise when they have to play Tampa twice New Orleans twice Carolina twice and we start looking at the schedule like Do we do we then look at the season awards market and you know, it might sound gross But like where's kurt cousins at and that he's for he's 40 to 1 right now So like what am I am I going to take a chance on you know the 150 for them to win the division at this point When the number could fluctuate during the season or let me get the 40 to 1 right now on kurt cousins as Grosses that may seem on paper quote-unquote to people But like that number is only going to like it's only going to get better especially with him being Uh, not on a team right now Like if he lands to Atlanta that number is just going to increase just because people are going to be thinking About kurt cousins and now think about that picture So let's let's take some of these long shot bets now and have those tickets that are hanging out that Hanging out there for the season Yeah, uh cousins 40 to 1 win MVP interestingly, you know shorter than jared golf who is 50 to 1 I don't think golf I think golf might get pertied if he were ever close where they're like, oh We'll find someone else to give it to so I I understand why golf is that long But I do find it interesting given how much How high the sentiment is around the the the lions that he's that long I would not bat golf at that number, but I do find at least interesting How far out there he is lemar jackson 12 to 1 uh to win it again herbert 13. Yeah I think this is this is a good spot to look at the season awards markets I don't see anything that stands out to me right now necessarily but That could be the alternate route to betting the falcons of plus 150 If you think that they play well, maybe cousins benefits from that It could wind up finding himself in the mvp discussion You've alluded to the rams the nsc west you've alluded to some mvp markets any other Futures you want to grab now with free agency the legal tampering period being now one week away ryan Yeah, so You know, I did mention the jets as well too Like I am going to be looking at the jets just play, you know playing in that division I understand miami buffalo like that, you know, definitely tough teams But like, you know, this was a team a year ago that like once they landed there and rogers It was go go go for this team and like What are we doing now like sleeping on them? Like I you know, we're waiting for them to come back from injury But like joe burrowed the same way and this is a you know This is a mvp caliber player that we're talking about not caliber like the dudes won multiple mvPs and The jets just aren't getting respect and like this is a team that could really like they're gonna Probably show up things on the offensive line for an rogers like they could go out and make another splash play on the offensive Like are they bringing in divante adams? Are they going to bring in another wide receiver? But at mike evans was talking about potentially Being it being on the jet So I do think that there are still moves to be made for the new york jets that are going to increase their numbers So I want to make sure that i'm ahead of the curve there with them In the superbowl market, you know, not not too many things stand out I wish since an addy's number was just a little bit better Because I do think that they have some merit to them at 15 to 1 there But you know still could be potentially interested in that like still Honestly as crazy as it sounds like kind of interested in the houston texans like yeah, they're going to get healthier on offense Like they have the quarterback and cj stradler thinking about these guys who are on rookie rookie deals right now is definitely the exciting You know way to way to kind of take them as that's kind of been the the notion that we've been seeing for success in the super Bowls outside of matthew stafford and tom brady But uh, but yeah, I mean it's it's such a fun time to to get in on some of these long shots Right now as we see fit even in the season awards markets like mvp might seem like you know You might not want to dabble there, but we do have the offensive player of the year market up We have the defense player of the year market up I would love to see what comeback player of the year is going to be because I think there's so many You know, especially from a quarterback position So many guys that are coming back that definitely make it intriguing In the offensive player of the year market gym if we're going to be talking about, you know, the the jets I'm looking at garret wilson at 50 to 1, you know to be be here He was going to be the guy like if they do bring in somebody like sure Maybe maybe that could potentially be dead But let's say they don't bring in another receiver and he's just the alpha getting peppered like that could be really incredible For him and his upside and this was the guy who people were talking about last year To potentially be the wide receiver one paired up with rogers. So when we're looking at that market, that's an interesting one as well I think his teammate breeze hall is also pretty interesting 40 to 1 Given the usage he saw last year in the passing game if you pair where they're in rogers, that could be That could be kind of fun. Uh, so yeah, it's it's fun to look at these markets right now and see If we can find some value potentially in some long shots around there But we're gonna have ryan back on next week talked about free agency takeaways That is going to be a whole lot of fun ryan. I'm looking forward to that Good luck to you with the nba slade for today. I hope it goes well for you We'll talk to you once again next week talk some more nfl free agency Yeah, I can't wait jim.

for a fan duel research to get his read on e pl match week 27 Find austin cast on twitter at austin cast 1 and 4 week for austin the first one being uh the bernardo silva to score or assist prop that was for man city versus man united Man city did get the win 3 to 1 but silva not involved in any of those so uh knowing there for silva two recommendations for the Tottenham versus crystal palace match First one was the tottenham first half money line at minus 110 and tottenham got blanked in the first half Which was concerning given that the other bet was tottenham over two and a half goals of plus 158 But tottenham put on a second half clinic and did surge back to get the win there They scored three goals so a plus 158 winner for tottenham over two and a half goals Austin had the everton money line at plus 105 everton unable to get the victory there And the final one was evan tony to score or assist at plus 135 tony held off the score sheet in this one Now has scored or assisted in four out of eight matches since returning from the suspension So couldn't get the win there with tony one and four week overall for austin final on twitter at austin cast We had sam hopping on to preview the formula one race in bah rain Which was this weekend and sam did hit on max for stappen at minus 115 to win the poll and the race for stappen Did not have the fastest time in qualifying actually charlotte claire had that but that time came in q2 Not q3 so over stappen did win the poll and coasted to a 22 second victory So win for sam at minus 115 there also had charlotte claire to podium at minus 105 La claire did qualify seconds and was fast But then had some issues with his car During the race his teammate carlo signs able to get past him signs finished third la claire finished fourth So no podium for la claire at minus 105 final one for sam also subject to some car troubles That was alex albon top 10 at plus 220 albon Didn't have the best car by any means But would have been at least in contention for points had it not been it sounded like his car Engine was a bit sour throughout the race the Mercedes power units had issues Both for them and for the actual Mercedes team as well So couldn't get the albon plus or top 10 at plus 220 there find sam hopping on twitter at sam hopping and check out His work over at betting pros for nascar on me In the cup series only bet I had before the friday show is denny hamlin 10 to 1 to win the race Toyota was fast, but hamlin was not the fastest toyota That was like a ton of reddick who came in second behind kyle larson I thought reddick might have a chance to the win reddick wasn't the betting guide over a fandom research But came up a bit short larson did a great job in that final stint of arrow blocking reddick So reddick could not get the win there And no win on hamlin at 10 to 1 for us an xfinity on saturday depends on what number you got john hunter nema check Acts we talked on friday I said I showed value on him at plus 350 But I wanted to wait until after practice and qualifying to see what number I could get because it felt a little bit Short at that time nema check did lengthen post practice and qualifying I think he was around four four fifties somewhere in that range But nema check did win the model had confidence in him based on how fast he was a mile and a half last year And nema check ran really well his entire team was very fast Chandler smith was the other fastest car during that race so Depends on what number you got nema check at probably four four fifty somewhere in there But he did win in this race other recommendations for xfinity were eric amarola 14 to 1 and sam mayer 18 to 1 Amarola honestly very underwhelming I thought throughout this race wasn't very fast on uh friday and practice and qualifying Never really inched into the top five during the race either so disappointed there given how fast Both nema check and chandler smith were on the same team and sam mayer 18 to 1 had issues very early in this race and did not finish So no win for sam mayer there friday in the truck series I had christa rebelle 6 to 1 to beat kyle bush and bush did have issues so like the thesis of Bush's overvalue did play out but bell was not the benefactor christa rebelle did finish fifth in this race but Not really up towards the front roger caruth ran a great race and got his first victory in the nascar craftsman truck series I think he take away from me was that I should probably treat the spire trucks Effectively as if they're a kyle bush motorsports truck because that's the team they bought last year a lot of the employees are the same So i'm going to be shifting the priors on roger caruth chase perty when kyle bush is in that truck To up the equipment to you aspire because roger is a very good driver But this is a new level of performance from what he had last year So I think those might be effectively kyle bush motorsports trucks So i'm going to treat spire that way going forward based on what we saw out of roger caruth there Congrats to him on the wind really fun to see him Get that victory but no win on christa rebelle at 6 to 1 That's all that we have here for today on covering the spread But we are back with you once again tomorrow and throughout this entire week So make sure you're subscribed to covering

We often cover ancient, yet seemingly advanced, ruins. During our presentation of these evidential arguments, often suggesting at least one antediluvian civilization lived before the last Ice Age and had actually accomplished a level of societal sophistication which allowed them to master, among many other things, the art and gargantuan responsibility of stone masonry. Even creating ancient stone structures so plumb they can even rival modern master masons of the day in their astonishing skill, accuracy, and thus by default high precision unquestionably achieved with highly advanced technologies now lost to the sands of time. But I digress. For there are many other avenues of investigative research, supporting evidence of past highly advanced human activities, uparts, also known as out-of-place artifacts, is now, thanks to modern technology and social medias, a literal treasure trove of ancient artifacts that in one respect or another, utterly support the channel's hypothesis. However, if ever academically acknowledged for what these relics truly are, it would topple their tower of cards, for all modern academia has achieved by doubling down and keeping a profitable yet so strongly disprovable chronology on life support, protected as a status quo unwittingly creating a castle upon the proverbial sands of public opinion. Without the influential grip that institutes possess, and now that academia has doubled, tripled, quadrupled down on already pushed, popular, and thus profitable modern paradigm, but due to individuals such as mystery history and many others like him, whose collaborative work over many years has not only contradicted said tale of events countless times, but due to said argument becoming more and more compelling, with every fine driving the nails deeper into the coffin of their theory, has in return forced academia and historians into a position of obvious deliberate ignorance, denying a reality we simply wish to convey. We never intend to push a theory upon anyone. We attempt to explain the channel's opinion, and importantly why any particular subject or place is not only unexplainable, but I had to come to my own particular conclusions regarding said subject. Yet worryingly, this next approach is not one pursued by academia, firstly to convey all the evidence found at a site, not just that which supports my theory, even that which cannot be explained, but also to never state my presumption built over many years of research as an undeniable fact. I set out to provide uncensored, unbiased, impartial truths, often Earth's advanced ancient megaliths, tool marks, stone cuts, artifacts, and many other areas one can investigate. Often accompanied by an array of photographic evidence supporting our theory, and the more academics continue this denial of said evidence, they force themselves further and further down the proverbial plank of popularity. For if one bases one's premise upon a faulty foundation, then eventually it will collapse, becoming disproven beyond any reasonable doubt. And if it weren't for a greedy, power-hungry, controlling force still within academia operating on our planet to this day, the long-attested timeline for man on Earth would have unraveled a long time ago. Not only ending said flows of cash currently generated by said conspiracies and associated constructed theology, but additionally, and perhaps the defining motivation behind this mammoth task of not only funding academia and subsequently pushing said conspiracy, and the very costly operation it must be to preserve it, in addition to the tremendous efforts witnessed in regards to the timeline's protection. The Bering Strait, for example, not only lost a highly gifted, honest archaeologist her career, but due to it being crucial to mainstream theory, and due to its ability to disprove said theory, has been a location completely shut off from everyone, now guarded all year around with incredibly harsh penalties for trespassers. A move we find highly suspicious. Their loss of public trust, their authority over public opinion. The loyal flock of the illogical, however, due to these character's positions and their ability to pump out books regurgitating this particular tale of historical origins, highly paid, so-called trusted academics, whose reputations rest upon this hoax, protect it at all costs, they must ignore that which doesn't fit, for due to their utter conviction in their own explanations, academics would ultimately experience irreparable damage to their particular institution's validity. Interestingly, an area that is rarely covered within this genre of historical study, which is somewhat surprising, is the curious and quietly studied evidences found upon a number of rare ancient remains that not only suggest that people were practicing surgery thousands of years ago, but also due to the surgical evidence left upon an Egyptian mummy is truly astonishing. Perhaps these practices were inspired by the death of King Tut, more popularly known as Tutankhamun, who died after complications derived from a broken leg. Yet such feats this particular procedure, for example, should have been far out of the technological capabilities of the Egyptians, we are so often introduced to at school and any other educational institute found to control mass opinion. Although some impressive wooden prosthetics have been found over the decades, some even dated to the Egyptian dynasties to have actually operated on and successfully pinned and repaired a knee joint is simply too far of an advanced surgical procedure for them to have known. Is it possible that the task was undertaken by a surgeon far more equipped than that of the currently academically claimed builders, who in reality we feel were mere lodgers? How did this ancient people accomplish such impressive medical procedures? Is it possible that we are looking at a member of a far older one's highly capable lost civilization? We find many areas of ancient antiquity can still tell us some incredibly intriguing things regarding their age, our past, and perhaps one day ultimately expose who we are and where we came from. It is a pursuit of truth we will always find highly compelling.


Oh my goodness, you're not gonna believe it. But when I got started back in the cleaning business about 30 years ago, I thought that I could go up and down the grocery aisle shelves. I know what you're thinking. You've done the same thing, right?  And you're like, oh yeah, I saw this on TV. I should buy this. And so you buy it and you try it. You're kind of experimenting with it. And then you go back to buy more supplies and you see new cleaning chemicals. And you're like, oh, I gotta get me some of those, right? Well, it wasn't too long into my cleaning business before all of a sudden I noticed that I had chemical sensitivities where my eyes would turn red just by the cleaning chemicals that I was using.  And so going to work every single day and not factoring to the fact that if I was gonna be in the cleaning industry for 10 or 15 or 20 years that I was gonna be responsible for my own physical wellbeing and the cleaning chemicals that I used, right? And so somewhere along the way, I started looking for a safer choice, a cleaner choice of cleaning chemicals. And so today we're gonna have a really fantastic conversation. And this is one of the conversations. If I had all the conversations I could ever have with you, this would be one of the most important conversations we can have together. And it's gonna be a very short conversation. We've got about 30 minutes here today and I have with me today a really special guest. This is Jenny Romer and she is the Assistant Administrator. She's the Deputy Administrator. I can't even read this. Assistant Administrator for Pollution Prevention at EPA's Office of Chemical Safety. I'm gonna put this up here on the screen so you can read it. And that shortened stands for OCSPP. And in this role, she oversees several programs. One of them is the prevention program, the pollution prevention program, the P2 program, and it includes the preferable purchasing, the safer choice programs, the green chemistry awards, a whole bunch of stuff, okay? The reason that I'm excited to have her here today is because of her experience and because of her education in the safer choice program. So I'm gonna bring her up on camera and I'm super excited. I know you guys have a lot of questions I do too. We're gonna bring her up here and get her to answer, if she will, some questions about the safer choice program. So thank you guys so much for being here today. I know we've got a lot of folks already. I see Bruce is here. I see Melanie is here. And with that, I see Jenny Romer. Jenny, how are you today and welcome? Hi, thanks so much for having me. So tell me a little bit about how you got started in the safer choice program. I know that you have the experience from the pollution that you've done in the past before the safer choice, you were part of the EPA's program. Before the EPA, you were part of the surfrider foundation. Share with us about that and how you came to the EPA. Sure, so I'm the deputy assistant administrator for pollution prevention. I think you were trying to give me a little bit of a promotion earlier, being the assistant administrator. But I'm the DAA for pollution prevention. I have a back, my background is as a lawyer working mostly on plastic pollution prevention policies. And I have an undergrad degree, a couple of them, one of them's in biology. I also spent some time working on litigation focusing on cases related to green marketing claims. So the kind of claims you'd see going down the aisle at the grocery store. And I also worked for the surfrider foundation for a few years, leading their plastic pollution initiative that's representing surfers and protecting the ocean. That was right before joining EPA. And I'm also a mom. I have a two year old daughter and a 12 year old stepdaughter. I kind of background for this show. I clean my house. And I spent a tiny bit of time as a house cleaner. I have hired a couple of house cleaners in the past to give some kind of context for what I'm bringing to the picture here. I'm here to talk about Safer Choice, which is a label that I oversee as part of my position at EPA. And that Safer Choice label really helps people find cleaning products with safer ingredients for people and for the planet, which is a part of EPA's mission. And we really do the homework for you. And so I'm really happy, really proud of that program and happy to be here and talk to you about it. Well, and I love that you shared that with us. Thank you so much, because there are a lot of people that start in the house cleaning business as cleaning business owners and also homeowners that when they first get started, they think all cleaning chemicals do what the labels promised. And I'm curious, is that true? Well, I think there was really a need for a label like this in the marketplace so that you could look beyond claims of saying that a product is green or something like that to really be very specific about what the promises are for that label. So the Safer Choice, I'll show you. We're not talking about a particular brand here. We're talking about a label. So this is a little mock-up bottle. It isn't an actual cleaning product, but you can see the label here. And when you're at the store, you can see it just as just a little label that is either on the front of the product is where we like to see it, or sometimes on the back. And that label means that the product is made with Safer Ingredients for People for the planet and that it's tested to be other. There you go. There's an example of it on a product. I'm supposed to do endorse particular products so I couldn't hold one up, but so I'm sure that a lot of your followers here, people tuning in, have probably have some Safer Choice products or Safer Choice certified products in their homes, in their businesses already. And so maybe you could do a little inventory of what you have already to see what's there. But when these products carry the label, it means that they meet EPA's highest standard for ingredient safety, performance and packaging as well. So we have nearly 2000 products that are currently, certified products that are currently on store shelves that a variety of price points that cover merely all of your household cleaning needs. And you have a variety of brands to choose from. So I can get into a little bit of kind of what the label actually means, but I just wanted to start there to make sure people understand what it looks like, what we're talking about. And really that we see it as a way to differentiate a product in the marketplace. Yes, when I first started, when I first learned about the Safer Choice program, I was really keenly aware that it offered something that I didn't have to do on my own because I was trying to read all the safety data sheets and I was trying to figure out is this safe for me to use inside someone's house? Is it safe on particular surfaces? And then if I find something that is a Safer Choice, is it gonna be as effective? So yeah, please share with us. What does the label mean and how does that all work? Yeah, and one more thing about how, we see it for, it's for consumers to be able to have that product differentiation. It can also be a differentiation for your business for people in the audience who are tuning in who own their own cleaning businesses really being able to tell your customers if you're using Safer Choice products, Safer Choice certified products that you can tell your customers that. And you can share some of what we have in our website or in our media kit to help them know. But getting into a little bit about what the label itself is. So every Safer Choice product relies on or has to include only the chemicals that are on our Safer Chemical Ingredient List. And so unlike most labels out there, we really look at every single chemical in that formulation too. It has to, we have to really know what we know what the chemicals are and we know how they interact with each other. So it's rather than saying something is free of a particular chemical, we're looking at the whole thing. So I think that's what really sets Safer Choice apart. And it's also, it's an EPA owned label. So it takes all of the information that we have here at EPA's Chemical Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention to bring into doing this analysis. And so it really doesn't work so that you don't have to spend a whole lot of time looking at those less and standing in an aisle comparing one product to, I mean, you still have some products to choose from because we have a variety of them with the logo. But it really I think helps with that choice to feel confident. Well, one of the things I really like about the Safer Choice program is that with the label, both the homeowners and the house cleaners that they hire can agree on, this is what you're bringing into my home. Instead of the homeowner saying, how about using this product? And the house cleaner saying, well, there's a different version that I would prefer to use. And so it's kind of a cross the board label that then keeps everybody safe, which I absolutely love because now we can come to some agreements on what it is we're gonna be using. Right, and we also have a fragrance free option. So if there's someone who is particularly sensitive or wants to move forward with that option, then you can kind of bring that to the table as well. So I think that's a good way to offer some potential variety and still be able to have that kind of the underpinning of Safer Choice. Well, and I'm so glad you brought that up about the fragrance free because when I got started in the house cleaning business and this is true for a lot of cleaning companies today, they think that if they leave the house with all kinds of smelling aromas when they leave that the house means that it's clean and spraying chemical on top of chemical on top of chemical.  Often triggers a lot of chemical allergies to people. And so knowing that there is a fragrance free version and that there are safer choices, I absolutely love that because that's a great starting point to say, hey, listen this is gonna be less allergy triggering for my clients. Yeah, exactly. And I think that a lot of people do really associate certain smell with being clean. And so we provide a variety of options there so that we can meet different customers where they are, but still with that same framing. Well, and you mentioned that there is a whole entire list of cleaning chemicals that you evaluate against. I think there were 950 on the choice list there. And I'm really intrigued, like how does someone get on that list? Can they just like say, hi, I'm on the list and claim that they are, is there a process they have to go through? And there's a whole process and we review, we review this on a rolling basis. And so I will say that we use this mostly for the safer choice label for cleaning chemicals, but other companies like Apple and Levi's will use that safer chemical ingredient list in there for their manufacturing process to say these are the chemicals that we want to use, whenever they can. And so I think that's important as well, but we reviewed it last time a few months ago where we will add a couple of chemicals to the list working with companies that make those chemicals and it goes through a review process. And we also sometimes take some chemicals off of that list. And so are you familiar with PFAS chemicals? Does that come up in your work? Sometimes, but it's not as common as it could be. And it depends on where in the country or where in the world people are. We get questions all the time about is this available in my area? So in some areas there are chemicals that are more available than in other areas. Well, PFAS is a kind of emerging chemical of concern, I would say, it's a group of chemicals. And so recently we took here at EPA at this favorite choice program, we took some actions with our safer chemical ingredient list to move or we call it putting a gray square on a chemical. So putting a gray square on the chemical saying we're phasing this off of the list. And we've done that with PFAS chemicals and it's actually been a good story because it's something that's been coming up in the news a whole lot, chemical that classic chemicals that they're been concerned with. But we worked with, there was a water-based floor finish that was thought not to work well without PFAS, but we worked with that company, that's a rich choice partner and with reformulating that floor finish. So it no longer included that chemical of concern and we're told that it works just as well, but not better than the original version. And so we're looking on an ongoing basis, not just to static, like these are great chemicals, leave them on the list, but we're really looking at it on an ongoing basis and taking chemicals on and off the list based on what our toxicologists are find. So I've come from a law background, but we have a team of biologists, toxicologists, other professionals here and doing the homework, like I said. I have watched some TikTok videos where people mix all kinds of stuff and they do some really entertaining kinds of things. And it's not really very safe and it makes me really upset that we watch and we pass it around millions of times and go, oh my goodness, look at all this. What advice can we give to maybe the youth that are out there that think it's okay to not, I mean, we're not talking any safer choice at this point, we're just talking, they're just mixing chemicals and they don't know what they're mixing and there could be some really serious messages that need to be shared with them in the terms of this could be hazardous to your health. Right, yeah.  And so I'm very cautious and try to make sure that I'm supportive of wanting to experiment with science but doing so in a way that is overseen by a teacher or someone and not, because we want to make sure that not combining leach and ammonia, so we don't want to do anything that can be really or encourage anything but to be very dangerous. So yeah, I share your concern there. But I think with safer choice, we have our toxicologists doing all of this work and really want to make sure that people are staying away from anything potentially dangerous. And I love that you have a team because as small business owners, we do not. And as homeowners, we do not. And so to be mixing chemicals, we do not and should not be doing that. Now that I got that out there, yeah, I feel better already. Ah, I feel better already. Okay, so now I have a question and this comes up a lot in our conversations because I'm really insistent that everybody that goes through our cleaning training programs read safety data sheets and that they learn how chemicals work. And so they ask me about questions like safer choice. How do I know it's as effective as like another product on the market that I saw on an infomercial that supposedly cleans everything with just one swipe? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Now, well, I will say that safer choice certified products are also, they're tested not only for chemical safety aspects but also for effectiveness, that they actually work. And so I think that that should help but as far as making people feel comfortable with it, but I will say that there are a variety of products. So you can try one product, one dishwashing fluid and if you don't like it as much they're having a variety of other options there as well but they do all need an effectiveness standard. I don't know if that'll draw everyone away from what they see on an infomercial but hopefully that would help. I'm not knocking the infomercials. I'm knocking the idea that with one sweep, one chemical with fancy packaging can solve a problem when there are equally as good products that are on the safer choice list. And one of the things I'm so excited about is safer choice is not just cleaning products. Can you tell us a little bit about the variety of products and kind of the scope that it covers? Yeah, the line is focused mostly on cleaning products but we do cover other specialized areas as well including road salt. But one thing that I'm particularly interested in is really exploring. I've been in this position for about a year and a half and really tasked with how can we grow the program? How can we improve how we're communicating about the program, which about the label which is happy to be here and reach different audiences but then where else can we go as far as what other product categories can we cover? And one that I'm interested in is personal care products. And so things like lotions and shampoos and conditioners and deodorants and things like that. And so that's one place where I would really like to see us grow and I'm trying to push for that a little bit. So we'll see how it goes. Well, we don't stop to realize for the most part that we are a participant in all of the chemicals that are in our lives, whether they're cleaning supplies, whether they are body lotions, shampoos, soaps, deodorants, whether it's stuff that we wash our clothes with or the fabrics that we clean our carpets with or any of those things. It's chemical on top of chemical on top of chemical and our bodies are like fighting to try to deal with all of it.  And I would go home and like my eyes would just be bloodshot and my nose is stuffy. And unconsciously, I'm like, I don't wanna go back to that house, that house makes me sick. And there are just things inside the house and it's just chemical sensitivities and what have you that every time I go, they come back just feeling bad and not being able to breathe and like all the sinus stuff in my head.  And I think, I would imagine in your position going into so many different houses, you can see the variety of that as well. So yeah, so that's a good choice. We're looking at to see where else that makes sense for us to grow. But right now, and we're very squarely in the cleaning products realm. And so I think that's where you're gonna see our label. Our label. Nice. I also have some up here behind me. There it is up there, all the way up there. Oh, so my question is this, if I'm new to the Safer Choice and I've never bought any Safer Choice products and I was gonna commit to do this today, give it a try, what would that look like for a consumer that's never purchased any Safer Choice products? Where would they go to look? How would they find out about it? So if you're new to this, I would suggest first doing an inventory of what you already have.  I looked up, Angela, I looked up a few doors that you had held up in your previous videos. And you definitely, or you just held that up earlier, you definitely already have some.  And so when you're at the store, wherever you shop, looking for the Safer Choice label, and I will say that we've really worked with our partners, some of the manufacturers to expand where we're seeing these products. So working the manufacturers on formulations that can make available at dollar stores, we do see a lot of price competitive products already but working on that even more so that we can really get products into the hands of people who need them, who use them, especially people who are cleaning every day and expose chemicals or really see that as incredibly important and something that we're putting a lot of our energy into. Well, I think having an awareness gives you choices. And I love that you said start where you are and take an inventory of what you have because if you don't know what you have, how do you know what you're using? And now be consciously aware moving forward. It's a little sticker or a little label on the cleaning chemicals that we're buying. And so is this available in the common stores that we have, is this available in grocery stores? Is it limited to certain areas? How wide-reaching is the scope of the EPA's Safer Choice program? I will say it's quite wide-ranging because we do work with those, some of the biggest cleaning brands out there and some of the more smaller niche brands as well. And so at the grocery store, at what the big box stores if you can find our Safer Choice certified products and also at one of the largest online retailers has a, you can do a specific search there as well for Safer Choice certified products. And it will say that we do have, Safer Choices is our main label, but we do have a label specific to disinfectants that are designed for the environment. So that is not something where we're kind of working on the final steps of a rebrand for design for the environment. And that is, should be on the shelves, I think this fall. So right now it's kind of an older logo that looks a little bit like 90s clip art. So we're updating that to make it a little bit more modern, but that's specific to that to me. Well, and aside from the 90s looking logo, one of the things that I love about the design for the environment program with the disinfectants is that we're not talking just about our own physical health, but we're also talking about the world that we live in. And that's really incredibly important when you talk about pollution and you talk about landfills and you talk about the waterways that we have and how that affects the water that we're, our animals live in, animals don't live in water, but our fish life and aquatic life and all those things. And so tell us a little bit about the design for the environment program and what can we do? What's our role in that? So that we can help participate in leaving the world a cleaner place. Cause I love your mission. I'm on the same mission. We're in this together. What can we do? All right. And so with both the Safer Choice and with design for the environment, it really follows the EPA's model of protecting human health and the environment. And so if we think about this a lot of the time with any products, the exposures to humans and to our pets and our children in homes, but then this is also, we're also looking at the ecological exposures as well. So how not only how this affects us, but also how looking at the, we call them the environmental end points. And so looking at the water, air, all of that is also encompassed within this label. So that like I said, you don't have to do the homework. We've already done that part for you. And if you want more information, I should say you can go to the Safer Choice website. And I think you're going to link to it for us as well. Just to get more background on what our Safer Choice standard is and all of that. But at epa.gov slash Safer Choice website. Yes, I'm going to link to all of that below. I also want to link to the book that you wrote, which is about single use plastics. And that's really important to me as well. And we got to have you back on for another one of those conversations about single use plastics. Because as house cleaners, not just the cleaning chemicals inside the bottles, but many of us are using ready to use bottles, which are those that we find at the dollar stores in some of the cheaper places. And every one of those going into a landfill is again polluting our environment. And so if we can use concentrates and we can dilute those concentrates. And I know the Safer Choice program has a lot of concentrates that cleaning business owners and professionals use that homeowners can use as well. And I love the fact that they are readily available to everyone. And I know a lot of the big box stores, like you said, the major online retailers are carrying these products. I do have a question that came in from one of our viewers here today. And she wanted to know if these products are available in England. Is the Safer Choice program primarily just the USA? Or is it Canada as well? Like how white is it? And we do have some availability in the UK in England, but I believe it's probably more limited than it is here in the US. But that's something that we're working on as well. And I will say that I really appreciate you bringing up the plastics part of this. Because I think that's something that we're encouraging and trying to have our Safer Choice partner companies talk with each other about how to address single use plastics. It's something that the United States is entering into negotiations on a global plastics agreement. And so it's something that's really top of mind for a lot of people. But it doesn't mean you have to completely change the way you do things. And you can be effective, maybe even save some money by using those concentrates and watering them down yourselves rather than buying the single use. So really happy that you brought that up and love to talk to you about it again sometime. Well, I'm really excited about the Safer Choice program because it removes a lot of gas work. And like you said, you guys have already done all the testing. Instead of just testing a brand, you're testing all the different ingredients inside that product. And that is huge because we don't have the ability as individuals to do that. And so when somebody like the EPA comes along, I say somebody, some huge conglomeration like the EPA comes along and says, hey, listen, we got your back on this. We got you covered. All you gotta do is find the label. Okay, that makes it so simple and so easy. And to know that they're readily available in all the grocery stores and all of the regular stores where we buy cleaning supplies and chemicals. I love the fact that it's so readily available in the United States. And I say that because I'm in the United States. And so that's my mark. That's where I am. And I know a lot of our friends from across the globe have different choices and it always comes down to you gotta check the area that you live in. I would say that we have Canada, Mexico, France, Germany, Spain, UK and Greece are the places that are really covered. But of course, the United States is where we're based and I think you'll see them up. I did not know it was that big. I'm giving you a happy bill for that. Thank you, thank you. That is fantastic. I didn't know it was that wide reaching. That's great. All right, so do we have any other questions here? I know we've got lots of questions that have come in. These are in the sidebar. I promise, Jenny, we'd only keep her here today for 30 minutes. So our time is wrapping up. I'm gonna be back inside the notes and we will answer all of these questions on an ongoing basis. But my hat is off to Jenny today for the time that we spent together. You guys, if you don't know about the Safer Choice Program, now you do. I want you just to open the dialogue here. Start having a conversation about it. Come back to this particular channel wherever you're watching this. Ask your questions, we wanna get them answered. And we want you to start being aware that there are choices that are easily available and readily available to you right now. Thank you so much for letting me come on and talk about Safer Choice. I really appreciate it. We are so excited that you're here and I would love to have you back again and chat with us again. Thank you so much. You guys, this was awesome. And we'll see you again next time here on the same channel. So take care and have a great day.


Tom here from Lawrence Systems, and let's talk about the Unify 6.0 controller upgrade that I said not to upgrade to, which was 6.0.20. And as of today, October 20th, 2020, they have released 6.0.28. Still don't upgrade. But let me explain why, and I'm going to give you a little context for it. And I have a forum post I'll link to before we dive into that. Let's first, if you'd like to learn more about me and my company, head over to LawrenceSystems.com. If you'd like to hire a short project, there's a hires button right at the top. If you'd like to help keep this channel sponsor-free, and thank you to everyone who already has, there is a join button here for YouTube and a Patreon page. Your support is greatly appreciated. If you're looking for deals or discounts on products and services we offer on this channel, check out the affiliate links down below. They're in the description of all of our videos, including a link to our shirt store. We have a wide variety of shirts that we sell, and new designs come out, well, randomly. So check back frequently. And finally, our forums. Forums.LauranceSystems.com is where you can have a more in-depth discussion about this video and other tech topics you've seen on this channel. Now, back to our content. So here's a link to my forum post, which I'll leave linked in the video here, that says, don't upgrade to Unify Controller 6.020. And people have been absolutely for every incremental release, which now we're all the way over to 6.028. Keep asking me with each release. Is it ready? Is it ready? Is it ready? And I wanted to do a video as a reply for is it ready? And basically, at the time of right now, as in, if you're watching this video now, that's when this is relevant. Sometime in the future, this will change, but I don't know when that date is. I'll make a video when I'm ready to go to the new controllers the best way I can answer it. And I don't think I answered that in that video, which is why I'm getting so many messages. They have been bug fixing quite a few things. And if you're among the people who didn't have issues, wonderful. Thank you. You have a great system that you didn't have any of the edge cases, which I don't even know if there's edge cases because so many people had problems, but you did not have a scenario that caused a problem with the controller update. That's great. Stay on it. There's not really a reason to downgrade that I have seen if you're not among the people having issues. And Unify has been working fast at iterating the versions up to quash bugs as fast as possible. My preference though is going to be to wait till the 6.1 release. And I'm not going to dive deeply into that. It's something you can sign into their forums and look ahead if you want to see beta releases coming out. But the 6.1 to me represents some real change in Unify. And that's what I'm waiting on. As of right now, I'm still running 5.14.23. That is the current version of the five series that to my knowledge and to anyone else that's publicly disclosed any of it, there is not any vulnerabilities in it. Therefore, I don't have a real reason to upgrade. 6.0 didn't offer enough features to make me really want to upgrade to it. And matter of fact, it's missing a couple things, especially some of the way the data analytics is collected. The fine tuning has been removed, but rumor has it and granted this is complete rumor that it's going to be added back in the 6.1 series because it beta so I can't really concretely say anything in there is going to actually hold true at time of release of the 6.1 series. Who knows it may get bumped away forever. But that's one of the things missing in the 6.0 was the ability to adjust the way your data analytics works on there and how much data it starts consuming. This is a problem for people who host lots of controllers. And the way Hostify is dealing with this issue and looking into it is the fact that they go on the back end. So me and Riley still continue to talk about this. And on the back end of their systems, what they do is manually tune the MongoDB. Are you skilled enough to manually tune MongoDB? Well, if you are awesome, you can just go in there manually do all the settings like Riley does over at Hostify or you can wait till they have a version that doesn't force you to do some manual tuning when you do the updates. And this is part of the testing that they do over at Hostify. And I also do testing here as well. And we do have a controller set up with the latest version. We still find it to be buggy. I didn't update to the 2.8 yet. That's on my list. It's just our beta controller. And I'll continue to do some testing. But I at least wanted to get a video out to address that question of when should you upgrade? I don't know exactly. And I don't have any type of release date. You can feel free to sign up to the forums. This is my source of information. I play with the stuff that I find in the forums. I read through the errata and all the comments and try to sort through the noise of people just complaining versus people who actually take the time to learn stuff like Riley who follow him if you don't already at Hostify because he's been posting about different findings and how he's learning how software works and therefore sit on the five version unless you can keep an eye out of course or unless there's some security problem that occurs. And I will be of course posting about it. And I'm sure many others will be posting about as well. So if we find some major flaw in that older version, yeah, I would hurry up and switch to the 6.0 series because that would be the current release series right now. And as of today at 6.0.28. But my overall feeling is I'm going to wait till the 6.1 because that's actually based on the betas not actually knowing when it's going to be released. So I can't tell you when it's going to happen, but actually offers feature upgrades that I'm interested in and has a lot of the things back that are seemingly broken in a 6.0 series very specifically that data collection part and being able to fine tune that. So that's my stance on I'll leave a link to my forum post where I've been updating people as well and interacting because it's harder to see all the YouTube comments. I've ranted about this before the YouTube comments team system is kind of garbage for seeing replies and I have to follow them through emails. This is one of the reasons we have forums where I can have a more active and engaging discussion. And I'll link to the specific forum post that has one field video of why you shouldn't upgrade. And I'll link this video there as well. And the forum post explains my stance on it. And that's how I feel as of October 20, 2020. It's always important to date as a context when you talk about software versions because if there was some problem found after this date, of course I'd upgrade. I don't leave things hanging out there unpatched if there's any major issues with them. So that's how I feel right now. This video is kind of just a reply for people. And so is the forum post is kind of all goes hand in hand. And I, you know, it's not like there's any major issues at all in terms of functionality that I don't want to keep using the five series one. So for now, I'll keep using it.

Garrett after the double to a glaciers in the first inning it seemed like you really settled in there. What were you able to do to cruise up until that seventh. Gary and I were on the same page a lot and we were executing a lot more pitches than not. And we kept the steady mix too. It seemed like after that first inning you had a pretty long conversation with Gary and Matt Blake in the dugout. What were you frustrated about if anything after that first frame. The leadoff walk. I just felt I could have I could have challenged in the zone. And the mistake pitched a glaciers. So I mean. Yeah. In that seventh two outs and things kind of unraveled pretty quickly there. Just what happened in that inning. Good pitch to ninjas. Good swing. Bad pitch. The Stewart. Good swing and good pitch to Severino and snucked down the line. So. I felt like. I felt like we. We. We. Yeah. We just kind of got a little unfortunate there. But certainly the pitch to Stewart. Overall. How do you feel about the out as a whole. I thought it was a big step forward. I liked everything relative to the last start. And so. Steady improvement. It's good. Thank you. We'll go to Bruce Beck. Karen. I know you didn't look happy when you left the game. But do you still evaluate the length of your performance and the fact that you had the seven three lead when you when you left the ball game. Do you kind of weigh all that stuff together. Yeah. I think so. I was pleased with the outing. You know I. I just just you know I didn't end on a. I know. Let's go to Marley Rivera. Hi Garrett.  Obviously your preparation got skewed this time. You got a different opponent. How were you able to perform so well when things changed so quickly. Well I think you know. I think Gary was a huge help in this situation knowing the Orioles really well and. You know it's now the fourth fifth time in a row working with him. So our communication was flowing well and I thought that you're able to keep a steady mix to. Kind of stay one step ahead of them at some times. So. But I leaned along. I'm very familiar. We executed a lot of pitches so we were in a good spot. Thank you. Take the next question from Eric Poland. You guys talked during the three weeks spring training about the importance of being flexible and with some of the stuff curve balls are going to get thrown your way during the season. So. Is what happened the last two days and into tonight just kind of an example of that of having to go you know go with the flow. Yeah. I mean no doubt man. I mean we have nothing to do with Miami and like our schedule got got wrecked. So. You know I. Is a good way to call for the league. Hopefully we learn from it and know that know that you know it just it doesn't just happen. You know it just happens. You know it just happens. I mean it's just impossible to pass a ripple effect throughout you know other clubs. So. It's. But. Where we we adjusted as the players we adjusted well and. Yeah I expect the protocols in the union and I'll be to keep moving forward as expected as well. Thank you Gary. Yep. and after the first. Is that just mostly the mix of pitches that you're working with, Gary, or are you making any in-game adjustments to deliver it to get a better flow there? I think I just kind of got into the rhythm. Only was I really upset with the one pitch to Glacius, and I just felt that I could have challenged the leadoff hitter a little more over the plate, but by and large, we executed a lot of those pitches in the first. So, and then as we started to roll, there was some unpredictability there, I thought, and then matched that with executing more pitches than not, and it just kind of flowed a little bit, so. So it's not like one thing physically that you tweaked after that first inning? No, I just, no. Yeah, thanks. We'll take the next question from Brendan Cuddy. You've won 18 straight games. The record is 24. Can you get there? I don't know. We'll see. We got next week. We got to win 19 before we win 20, I guess, right? So just try to bounce back and I don't know, take it one game at a time.

More community members are getting involved with donating and distributing goods to those in need, including Valley Elementary. Mountain Top News spoke to their principal to understand the full scope of the help they are providing to the families that fell victim to the flooding. We were contacted by the dream center in Pikeville to possibly bring supplies up here and do some things. They just do amazing work through a county and are still continuing to do that work. Rachel Dawson has just been amazing. Once we got it started, I got local churches involved and the Lord has just absolutely blessed it. It just keeps growing and growing. As you see today, there's people in there volunteering during the day. You can see cars coming in and getting supplies through the whole day. We've been fortunate here to offer some help to some people that are in need. We started immediately when the flood recited, we started to offer help to our people. It just continues to grow. We're averaging about 1500 mills a day for the people in our community. Supplies are coming in and just as they come in, we're pushing them out to the people that need help. We also have some local companies, side-by-side dealers in Pikeville that have offered their services for us.  Then they take supplies to the people that can't get out due to the bridges and things that are out. It's truly a team effort. Our community has really stepped up and our people are really benefiting from it.


Hello, in this lecture we will define deposits in transit. According to fundamental accounting principles, while 22nd edition, the definition of deposits in transit is deposits recorded by the company but not yet recorded by its bank. So these are deposits that we know that we have made. Generally, we've put them in the bank in some format. However, the bank has not yet processed them. Therefore, on our books, we have put them into the our books. We know that the deposit has been made. We have increased our account by the deposit. However, they have not yet cleared the bank. If we're doing a bank reconciliation, then we may have these deposits that have not yet been cleared. Those being a timing difference, those being something that we will have to reconcile for within the bank reconciliation. For example, if we did the bank reconciliation here, we'd have a bank statement. This is supposed to be a bank statement from the bank, beginning balance, ending balance, bank summarizing the activity that has


And welcome back to news on I want to welcome back our panel. We only have a few minutes remaining So I want to get your final thoughts on a couple of things Let's start with you. John Jackson will give each of you about a minute So we were talking about that prediction from former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich saying that Republicans are headed for an Electoral tsunami as he put it your thoughts on that and also critical race theory a lot of people Pointing to the fact that a number of minorities were elected to office proving that this theory is in fact false What are your thoughts on that? I? Think the narrative on critical race theory is false. It's not taught in our schools. It's a manufactured crisis to get Republicans elected So no, I don't think of the election proves anything about critical race theory because that's about resource It's really about resources and equity As far as Newt Gingrich's prediction President Biden needs to get his agenda passed. He needs to get it going If Democrats are gonna have a shot President Biden needs to find a way to get his agenda through the Senate or it could be a bad midterm for Democrats All right, Melissa. I don't think whether the critical race theory was one of the biggest issues or not I don't think there really needs to be that necessarily as an issue I think this was a tough Election for anyone that was running the Democratic ticket to get simply because of the period of inflation that we're in We're having terrible supply chain issues. We're in a high period of inflation It's going to continue into 2022 Administration said earlier in the year that was temporary It is already not temporary and J pal already has said that's going to continue while the stock market is rallying You're still almost 11 million people out of work and tomorrow We have a huge huge jobs number out and we don't know what that's going to be the vaccine mandates have Pernan employment people are still not back to work with all the stimulus checks. It's hard to motivate people to go back to work I think one of the reasons the Nancy Pelosi is trying to push this stimulus panther It was because they think they're gonna lose control in 2022 Otherwise, why push push it through why ram it through while the pressure on mansion go through the process How the people that are voting for this haven't even read the whole bill and don't even know what's in it Last word to you Haven I'll start with Newt Gingrich. He predicted a Dramatic victory for Trump and Trump lost by seven million He predicted victory for Romney and Romney lost by about five million So I'm not too concerned about Newt Gingrich's predictions, but I think that there is a case to be made against Democrats right now I think Melissa made it well and and certainly Mr. Jackson also referred to it That they're not passing the president's agenda the president believes that we need investments in infrastructure Believes we need investment in in health care and in child care in universal preschools and to fight global climate change And there are 48 Senate Democrats that agree with them and two who don't Unfortunately, the two who don't have the ability to stop at all and if they stop at all Exactly, how are the Democrats going to say vote for us we get nothing done Yeah, okay, it reminds me of when Republicans were all in charge and they talked about getting rid of Obamacare a very reminiscent of that You're referring to Joe Manchin and Kristen cinema Obviously holding back on that infrastructure or not infrastructure, but the reconciliation spending package despite the president lowering that price tag Of from three and a half trillion down to one point seven five trillion again They're expected to vote on that Tomorrow we're gonna continue to watch that panelists. I'm sorry. We ran out of time Love doing it. Melissa. You held your own today Really do appreciate it Are in New Yorker and it shows you did you definitely did. Thank you all appreciate it So yes, we're still gonna continue to monitor that situation when it comes to the infrastructure bill Will it or will it not happen? They've been talking about it for months. The Democrats believe that this is Being reflective in our elections that we just saw happen on Tuesday that they aren't getting enough done and people are lashing back Others would argue a different reason that that's not the direction where Americans want to go and this is a referendum on the president's policies What do you think you can always weigh in by letting us know? Hashtag share your voice funny at real Miranda Khan speaking of your voice There are a lot of issues facing our country today, which one do you consider to be the most important?
