Let's swing on in and review the minutes that I shared. Share any updates from any city committees, AKA Michael who is on all the city committees, but if anyone else has anything to share. And then just check in about the committee on committees planning. And then we have stipend discussion that continued. And I know in the minutes you'd shared like the recording from the video. And that was the one that I was on. And I thought there was another conversation after that. So we can check in about kind of what are the, what, what that looks like and what that next steps for that would be. Before closing. So how does that sound anything to add or change your shift? Be super speedy. Um, so let's look at the minutes, pull the minutes. I touched on the email. That's helpful too. Thank you so much. Cameron. Does anyone have anything? Anything to. Change. Oops. I've got someone joining. Nope, maybe not. Does anyone want to make a motion to approve the minutes? Pella makes motion to approve the minute. I'm motion. I'm motion. Lauren second. I can, although I wasn't there. So that's right. You can't. Should not. Yeah. You can approve minutes even if you weren't there. That's appropriate. And per Robert's rules. And I'll sit down. All in favor. I, any opposed. All right. Um, thank you guys. So, um, okay. So we're going to have a committee on committees. Like we had a couple of months ago. At this point, like six months ago. And we're, uh, You know, to get all, all the committee chairs or kind of delegates from the committee chairs. In a zoom room together to be able to learn and share from each other and to share information and, um, like materials. So kind of thinking that we wanted to do this in April, because then we'll have a little bit more of an understanding about how the stipend process is going to work out. Um, and kind of have a pitch to like make to the committee and committees about if their members are going to be eligible, getting them to sign up. Um, and then we also wanted to have it because we're going to rework kind of what they create, like the. Former creative just for his contract of having, uh, a big in person event. Um, and so wanting, like wanting to rework that and Bob Michael. Uh, isn't here to kind of dig in on like what that could look like, but of also kind of rolling out with the next steps for, for that would be. Um, does that, is that suddenly what people kind of envision like why we want to have this committee on committee is kind of the buckets to tackle. I think it was just like building relationships across these committee chairs so that like, if and when things come up, they know who to call on or check in with or things like that. Um, so what do the next steps for that look like, what do we need to do? I'm like, because they're on the same side of my screen right now, guys are going to get it in the, um, in on the, on the calendar and then, um, and then we'll kind of just do more planning as April is getting closer about kind of what will, what specifically will be on the agenda or is there any other planning that needs to happen now? No, I can, I can, I can get that on everyone's calendars. Um, we decided on what day? Let me pull that up. April 11th at 5 30. Yeah, actually, let's all just take a moment and make sure that's on our personal calendars. That works. I'm not saying that's out of experience or anything. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I can do that. I can do that for y'all this week. Well, next week, if, um, if, um, if, um, If that would be appropriate, just the calendar hold for folks, I would obviously say like this is for, you know, the CJET committee, you know, again, coming together, they'll have more information in an agenda soon. Just want to put this hold on the calendar. Right. And maybe something of what you said last time too, like, there's what we're going to talk about in generally, and then if you can't make it, see if you can send someone else from your committee. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was able to be there last meeting, but, um, around like, I know we had talked at some point, and we've done a little bit of this of like, kind of deeper dive with a couple of committees of like, what would it look like to partner together?  I think people found that valuable and I think it's great too. But are there like going to be either examples we could bring or some, I feel like just making it tangible for people. So it's not just, like, like great ideas that I had in like the breakouts and stuff last time where like they were great, but they were like all over the map and people just like, in many cases just like starting to think about like, what might this be and how might we, and so. I'm just like, how do we like make it. Very tangible. Tangeable or folks of like, with some specific examples of like what this is looking like in some of the committees or. How specifically we could partner. Anyway, we're getting like more into agenda, right before we dig into some of what we've been doing before in the next couple months because I think we were talking more about of like doing outreach for the site then the equity report and next steps and then the relationship building but right we could ahead of time think about who are the committees that we want to put into small groups together and why and what could they be doing right like do you have anything that's coming to mind right now Lauren like all the housing as like a particular area and we've had some meetings with some of the different groups so maybe even some of that's just in like the sharing how we have been working with some groups since we had all gotten together like that were and that like the stipends what you know I'm just like I don't know if we're gonna keep bringing people together I just want to make sure that it continues to feel valuable to people and like that they're getting I think the stipend information and the equity report stuff will be valuable in and of itself but then also like how did they go deeper in their own committees like with potential partnership with us right so the stipend and the report could just be an email and so right like what are we doing to make it super engaging and useful yeah I want to holler at Mike Philbrook just to thank him for being here he's our Community Resource Officer just for folks who don't know him. You're welcome. Hi Mike, good morning. Let me pause. Sorry, it's my audio on here. No worries. Yeah, do you have any questions? Hi, I'm Mike Philbrook, I'm with Montpahir PD, I'm here Community Resource Officer and I'm trying to get involved in as many area groups and committees and such against as many viewpoints as possible and how we can as a department better engage our community especially the marginalized members. But thanks for letting me join you guys. Please jump in with any thoughts or reactions or reflections or if you have any specific comments. Thanks. Sorry, I didn't mean to derail that conversation. I think we're kind of going in circles a little bit. So I think we have appropriate time to move on. Way to nip it in the bud. Yes, this is a good idea. Let's keep thinking about that. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, I don't have anything smart to say else about that. Should we talk about the site then discussion? Yeah, so is that that's officially in the budget, right? And so it'll be voted on at town meeting day. Yeah, what else do we? Yeah, it was a stipend discussion continued knowing that the city council had some questions and concerns about the kind of proposal that we put forward. I know we're going to like circle back with ethics to get lessons learned from them in a couple of months. But that is there like like based on the conversation at city council, is there any like knowing we have kind of a $30,000 cap for participation in me is kind of in the city in the. At writ large, like it does that change how we want to approach like what the proposal that we want to bring forward come. April, May, you know, June leading up to the next fiscal year. Well, I'll give you some I did talk to Essex the other day. Yeah, and so I will say that they are having issues and we had a really good conversation about systemic issues. Like this is hard to implement because the system is not made to support folks that need support. And so they're really running into some tax issues. We've talked about it a little bit here about like getting W2s and that kind of thing from people. And that's really hard. That's a barrier for a lot of folks. And and so it's become very administratively burdensome to them. I think is what I've heard, but they really are dedicated to getting it done. And so I think it's good that we're talking about that kind of now and just have sort of an example of how that's been rolling out. So there there will be lessons learned. I just I think it's important to know and to note that they are running into these sort of issues that we've already sort of identified as ones that will be issues, right? And I think it'll be good to be able to come to counsel very honestly and say, like, you know, here are the issues that Essex has been having.  And so anything that we do that sort of bucks any sort of status quo is going to be harder. And so I think having this amount of time to think about how to roll this out before the money is actually available is really helpful and valuable. Honestly, it's been interesting to me, the conversations in the public about the stipends, especially since they've been identified as a very important part of the council's strategic plan since, you know, back in the fall when we got the equity reports and talked about that. So it's interesting that when you put money to it, it's like it becomes real and people then have, like, issues, right? And so I don't really know where I was going with that, just saying that, like, it is they are having issues and it is hard. And I think it's worthwhile to push through how hard this will be because it is really important. And I think what where I was going with that is that it might be good for this group to talk about the value ad that this has and really put that in writing somewhere, maybe on your web page that we have is like, here is why we're presenting this because of these reasons. And maybe like quoting the equity report is a good thing for that. But I think coming up with some sort of like, here is why this is important to be included in the budget more than we've already done. Yeah, I just totally agree with all of that.  Like a lot of it was like, well, I volunteered for years and I don't expect to stay in the volunteer.  Then there was also, I think, like a healthy amount of skepticism like from council and some staff and stuff like that this will work that it will actually bring in new different people who wouldn't otherwise serve. And I think that's like the I'm hoping but like the six months that Essex will be ahead of us. Like to me, part of our work is like, well, what's like what's the outreach plan? Like what's the work that goes beyond it? Like if we just make them available, I don't think it will change anything or it won't change much, I would guess. So it's like, what's the whole plan around the money? And that we now have resources to also support people. So we are like able to recruit and like make it attractive and appealing for different people to actually participate in city government groups and can take away the barrier of the money. So I don't know, like that was definitely I think that's part of like what. For the plan that council would like to see is like what's the whole package that's the stipends are part of that is going to actually change who might apply to serve. And I think there was also like people are like a little grumbly about this. And and but like we're like, well, it was an equity like report. And so I think us continue like that was a good lesson learned for like how this group putting things forward.  I was like, I find it really like I don't remember how I said it, but like kind of frustrating that as soon as it became something about money, all of a sudden it's really hard for us to do like we've been willing to do. Other like things only we don't know what it's like we're not like we need to be willing to like actually put resources into these changes. We can't just do like low hanging fruit things. And I mean, everyone like supported it in the end and stuff. So but like I think we need to be able to show like how we can measure if it's working people are also concerned like how we even know if it's working or people who are just already able and willing to volunteer just going to take it. And then what have we accomplished and you know, so those are like the kinds of questions at like predictably. So I think just for as we come up with our package, so just being able to answer that those pieces would be really helpful. This is reminding me when we were having that conversation to the council, I thought it would be really helpful. It would have been really helpful going into that conversation if we had done some sort of survey of committee membership to of saying like if we had like data, we have the data from the equities are like obviously, but like if we had done some sort of survey of saying like, well, this is not that but like who who are who who are the people who are volunteering now and what is their like race and class back and family backgrounds and like how how do they make time to be able to participate and what do they see as being barriers for participation and then to do like a follow up survey in a year. Like also it's like we're not going to see a huge amount of progress in a year either. Right. It's like it's going to be a multi year project of like building you know, if you're like the one person on your committee is still going to be heart rate and so it's like and I'm like being able to chart kind of what that progress looks like. And I know who filled out surveys is also super weighted, you know, so. But maybe like as part of the. Recruitment force to the committee chairs, we could also send out like a who is part of our committees now and. Have them send that out to their their member and talk about it and then send it out to their members kind of pass the meeting or after the meeting. Yeah, that was what I was going to recommend is y'all like creating the survey of like how and I think that comes part and parcel with tracking the effectiveness of this program and asking them like please put this out to all of your members. I think that's a great idea that we're really trying to think of like why how we would track who is like what is the change over time. And it would be very hard because we don't collect that data. And it seems like we've got a great built in like April 11th meeting as like a deadline to have done this. Or if we haven't got more organized enough by them to roll it out. Is that just something that we can do like as an as an anonymous survey on like a Google form platform or would there be any problems of doing something like that with the city? OK. Maybe I'll take a stab at right drafting something up over the next couple of weeks if that sounds OK and then can can review it. On our next meeting, I think it would be really important that I mean, I know it would need to be anonymous like person wise, but I think we would need to track like per committee. Right. So OK. All right. Where my brain just got stuck after saying that all I do is like. What about all the people who are part of seven different committee, the Michael Sherman's of the world? Right. And so is it a check box? Is it you fill it out once per committee? You know, because we'll be able to like we'll know it's Michael Sherman when he checked off the seven committees that he's a part of, you know, just like using as an example, because he's so fricking civically engaged. That's amazing. And I can see one Google form where it's just check all the all that apply for committees at the top and then the same question. And I'll get you a list. It's a it's a lot. I'll get you the list. Love. Love a good committee. Yeah, cool. Yeah, not having a lot of like put in your thought. Yeah, just having your put in anyway. Cool. I'm excited about that. Helen, any any thoughts from you on this? I just haven't heard your voice a little bit. Should we just check in about equity report next steps here, too? Not equity report next steps, but I mean, the equity report next steps are to have this meeting and to share the next steps and everything else. But like kind of the next phase of this campaign was going to be having one big in-person launch event. And, you know, I think we all had a lot of concerns about that when we started talking about it in, you know, just November, December. And then now that creative dysparc has said that they're not going to go through with phase two of this. So sorry. Reminder, the kind of the next couple of stages were to have a big launch of a launch event bringing everyone together. And then from there, coming out with kind of cross issue or cross group focus groups to really be able to kind of not focus groups, but like smaller groups to be able to dig in. But whether or not identity based small groups, they're cross issue or cross identity small groups. And then from there to like make a kind of a final report and then do a big celebration and launch event. This is kind of like the pattern that's happened in Burlington and Essex and Winnowsky and other places. And here we are going into your three of the pandemic. And we're saying probably doesn't make sense to have one big launch event. Does it make sense to have to skip that and to go right into the cross issue focus smaller groups? Is that we're not like building trust and having bigger comfort? Like what like, yeah, of just kind of wanting to. I meant to kind of check in with the mother town, but I've done this too when I dropped the ball. So I can maybe just hold on to that conversation. And then it wasn't actually specifically on our agenda. But just if anyone had any thoughts or reflections. If it doesn't get written down, it doesn't get done. And if it gets written down, there's like a 50 50 chance it gets done. So I'm doing. I mean, yeah, I'd be interested if other communities have found a big gathering. Because I mean, it seems like, like, eventually, I'm hoping someday we can just think gatherings again. Like, like, so maybe it would be like where instead of that being like a launch thing, that's like we've done small work and then we all come together in a big event later. And that's not like the planning that right now seems hard. But if you learn that that's like a valuable tool, I think we could still keep it as something to like. Build into a long term plan, potentially if we. But I think another like parallel question to this is, you know, creative discourse isn't doing this. Do we want to open this up again to another consultant and to hire to be able to run kind of the next phase of this, whatever that phase may be. I think last time we talked about it, it seems like you're more focused on like what can we do as a committee with creative discourses like coaching? Like that is what they'd offer to continue to do. But it would be more on us as a committee or, you know, we don't have a contract signed with them or anything. So or would we want to kind of take it back out for an RFP? Oh, we don't. We're not making any decisions. OK, I mean, I wonder if we like I'm just thinking about like some process that maybe like this group, like we want to go through with this and this winter of like, what's our what's our vision? What are our goals? Like if you're going to write an RFP, I don't even know what we'd ask for because I think that we, speaking for myself, I don't feel like I have like total clarity on like what the options even are. Like creative discourse have kind of like a multi-year track. So that's one idea. If we were going to put it back out like, I don't know, I'm just not totally clear on like what we'd be asking for. I think it could be good to, but I feel like we would need to do some internal work of like, what are we? What do we see as like big priorities for the community knowing it's still COVID? But there's tools to still like get people together in various ways and still continue. I think also what creative discourse is given y'all and us has some very clear things to implement. And I'd be interested to see what that looks like and sort of talking through the implementation of those recommendations. And then by that time, maybe it'll be safe to sort of reengage with that phase two, and we'd have a better chance of getting buy in and trust because we have already done or attempted to do as many of the recommendations as possible, you know? Yeah, great. So maybe, yeah. I think maybe I'll try to circle back with Michael over the next two weeks to because I know he had a lot of really strong opinions about this. But then it's sounding. Yeah, so we could kind of write up what our organizational goals are, which are probably like starting with implementing the plan that we already have. And then like from there, maybe making the decision to like point this decision till after we get a better sense of like what's happening with COVID and what's happening with our plans and our priorities and maybe not. Yeah. OK, but yeah, I think, yeah, my next episode, I'll check in with Michael. I'll see if I can check in with Michael. I'll draft up the summary, the survey, not the summary. I think that's it. Anything else to check in on? And should we set the agenda for the next meeting and get out of here? So I've got the following things I just want to like go through because we talked a lot. I just want to make sure I've captured all of the to-dos. So I'm going to send out the calendar hold for everyone for all of the committees. I'm going to get Shayna, a list of all of our committees. That's fun. You know, honestly, looking thinking about it, I I've been to all of them, all the meetings, I think I could tell you who is on them and like. Preliminary data, like observational data, right? About make-ups of them, which would be helpful to sort of contrast between what people report and what? Yeah, we could get from like observation. So yeah, that would be interesting. I'll I'll follow. I'll continue to keep talking to Essex and maybe we can get them to come in and and schedule like Marguerite coming in sooner rather than later because April is right around the corner. Thank goodness. And then let's see. And then Shayna is also going to start helping with like. A survey about. Barriers, participation and demographics of those groups. So I guess if anyone has any further questions or. They should get those to you. Yeah, and I think of the next meeting, we'll review it more too. I think so. For homework reasons. Don't worry. Don't worry. Well, and then also just checking in on. I think next meeting agenda too is committee on committee is. Like. Small group discussion. Outcome goals for how like an end plans for that. And so for folks to noodle on that. For the next couple of weeks. If you want to talk about the stipends you want to talk about committee on committee. And so the stipends could also include the demographic survey.  A little bit like. Us getting real clarity on, you know, what questions we want to be able to answer by through the pilot program. So if we're going to do the survey, let's make sure we're asking all the right questions to get that data. So maybe that reviewing the survey. As part of like the pilot. That section of the pilot proposal of. These are the things that we want to learn. Just to make sure that we don't like lose out on the opportunity for surveying everyone to get. Information that we. With then wish we had. Because like some of it, like how did you hear about this? For example, like my help inform like where and how are we advertising who's. Everybody's just like inviting. Telling their friends to do it or. And then you get the same circles of people. You know how I don't know how much most people like get involved. Stuff like that. Beyond Democrats. Might inform how we like advertise. Right. I'm almost even curious, like. Do people apply for committees and then don't get them? And what's their. How do they stay engaged after they don't get a point? Yeah. That's just. Another. Very rare. But okay. Right. But then like almost everyone who applies. You know, I don't know how much most people like get involved or stuff like that, but beyond Democrats. Might inform how we like advertise. Right. I'm almost even curious like. I don't know. I don't know. But then like almost everyone who applies to just like. Anecdotally. Like has like master's degree. Like it's a very certain type of person who is applying right now. Like everyone you're like.  Impressive. Like credentials. But also shows a certain like. You know. Like, I don't know. What type of person. Has had access to higher education. And. And often even like any master's degrees. Which is. Which is great. And. Let's open it up to other. And then I'm also wondering if there's like logistical stuff too. Like, I know you said your daughter applied. And the city is like, we never got her application. And. Yeah. So there's also just like those. And. If there's like technical city doesn't get her application. Sorry. So city doesn't get her application. They voted. For. I mean. I specifically remember her getting an email. But. I don't, I don't know. I can't tell you if somebody doesn't respond to that, I don't. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But. Helen, I had it on my list to look into that. And I apologize that I haven't. Gotten back to that. I will write that down. Even her school told her. She's in the comedy. Right. So her school knows, which means there's some kind of. Documentation, I suppose. But yeah, she hasn't received any email from city or. I don't want to talk on behalf of her, but that's all I know about the. Process. She wants to really be involved. So that's why I just want to mention. No, I think I, you know, it's been like six months. So. Right. I mean, I was. It just makes me think of not.  So how, how is the form set up is like intimidating to people. That if they feel like they don't meet every, like. What's your educational background? Like if you don't have. Degrees and whatever the issue, you know, does it feel. Is it. Inviting. I think like looking at every step of the process would be good. If how people are recruited. Apply. I mean, Places where people get dissuaded from applying. Right. Like the life cycle analysis. Just anecdotally, I've gotten a lot of feedback that it is difficult to fill out. You know, I've printed it out for quite a few people or there's a, or there's a tendency to think. Even if they're coming to meetings. You know, I think that's like a public participant that somehow they would need more in, you know, they would need to dedicate more time or something. Even though that's the time period that we're asking you to like work and do. So. It's been interesting. I think there are quite a few. What's the word I'm looking for. Assumed barriers. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. If there's like some other requirement that they're not seeing. Then we've done a bad job sort of explaining what. It's what committees even mean. Like, what does it even mean to be on a committee? Right. Okay. Should we wrap it up there? And. It's like, I don't want to be in this meeting anymore. Oh, no, no. I'm like, I don't, if we keep coming. The service going to be five pages long. No one's going to fill. I'm like, no more ideas. Okay. If we wrap it up. All right. Thank you guys so much. Thank you, Cameron. Thank you. Thank you Lauren. Good to meet Michael. Thank you guys. Thanks to everyone. Bye. Bye.


What is it like teaching ear fell in a kindergarten? The majority of children turning five years old attend kindergarten for two years in preparation for primary school. Some kids enter kindergarten earlier at the age of only four. This actually varies according from state to state and also from country to country. In China, most kindergartens combine childcare with teaching so that the children will develop physically, morally, and intellectually in a harmonious way to get ready for their formal school education. A good environment is assured for the kids to have a conducive place to learn actively. Teaching English in China can be overwhelming considering that English teachers are also assigned to teach kids as young as one year old or even younger. Chinese parents prioritize the education of their children, so having them exposed to learning a new language very early on is seen as an advantage. Teaching ear fell in a kindergarten is really challenging. Before coming to China, I never had the experience of handling kids from one to nine years old. I was very reluctant about handling classes with kids when I was working at the language school in the Philippines because I was not confident that I could manage them well in my class. To me, teaching kids wouldn't be my forte. But, since I got a job offer in China for a kindergarten English teaching position, I took the chance and prepared myself for a challenging phase in this career. Undoubtedly, teaching ear fell in a kindergarten is really challenging. With my experience teaching ear fell, I searched for some resources and tried to adjust it with a kindergartner's learning needs. I have learned a lot of things in teaching. I have created learning materials to be of good use in the classroom. I have relied not only on textbooks but other sources to improve my teaching. I have become a better teacher through my experience. Teaching kindergarten is like a roller coaster ride. Answering the question, how is it like teaching ear fell in a kindergarten? I would say that it is like a roller coaster ride. Students have a very short attention span. Their attention could be taken away by a single movement or sound. It is so hard for a teacher to even have their attention alone, that is why it is very important to prepare various activities, materials, or tools that could help you deliver the lesson and be able to have it retained in their minds. Teaching a foreign language could make them hesitant to listen to you, that is why building trust among the kids should be a top priority. Incorporating the target language in an educational play is one of the things you need to prepare. You can also search for sources for art projects that could emphasize their creativity, singing songs and chanting are very effective in getting familiar with the words through melody, repetition and actions. And, last but not least, is preparing active games that make the kids move. Relay on translations. Kindergarteners learn fast through experience and that reference is what I as a teacher focus on for them to remember the key words in English. Having English as a foreign language to them makes it more difficult to check their understanding, that's why it is very important to demonstrate and show them what something is for them to understand it better without utilizing the help of a Chinese teacher. I am grateful to have a Chinese teacher as my assistant, but I see to it that the kids don't rely on direct translation in our class, but practice how to use their own observation in understanding the content of the lesson. Preparation is key. Preparations for the activities is the key to be able to assess how the flow of the class will be in reference to the kids learning needs. Once the class has finished, considering the fulfillment of all the necessary preparations for a better learning outcome, my mind feels at ease and I can get ready for my next lesson. Once a teacher has established a routine, it wouldn't be so hard to prepare, execute, and revise the lesson plan because you have already learned how to handle and deal with certain situations in classes. It might take time to be familiar with the class, the approach for a certain group, and the right activities for a desirable outcome, but everything is worth it. Truly, teaching is a rewarding job. Teaching kids makes you feel that young and free. You get to learn a lot of things from the kids that you can't get through teaching adults. All the hard work pays off as you get hugs, kisses, smiles and other signs of appreciation from them. Truly, teaching is a rewarding job that cannot be replaced.

Hey guys, giving everybody, welcome to another edition of the Access to Trader dot com nightly wrap up show. Everybody is having a nice Thursday. Good trading day. We'll talk about that in a second. Again, Chinese markets, Chinese trade war on and off off again off again on and on and on and on and on right. It's been like two years now. Yesterday 300 point rally in the Dow. Then next thing you know 30 seconds later after the market closes or, you know, obviously exaggerating China comes out and says we're not close to deal. Futures go down. Dow futures go down 350 points instantaneously. You woke up this morning.  The futures are green. Oh yeah, the futures are green because again, the next headline is while we're making progress. And then the future starts selling off again pre market and then only to rally back to green really good, really good aggressive market and somewhere right again around two o'clock right and that's the unofficial official time to release China headlines. Then they say, well, you know, we might be relieving as a rumor. They might be leaving, you know, off the table, blah, blah, blah, and then 30 minutes later after the close or 15 minutes after the close, you get a headline from Trump. We're making great progress. So up down, up down, up down. It's all irrelevant. Again, it's it's insane that they are letting these headlines disseminate in the middle of the trading day again. Free form right freedom of speech. You're allowed to do whatever you want. Anybody can tweet. But again, at some point, the financial markets need to be stabilized by eliminating tweets. The Twitter handles from anybody that can influence the movements of the markets up and down intraday. You want to release a press release, do it after the close at least anybody in the middle of the day. Excuse me, at least anybody overnight already knows there's risk, right, attached to their positions. So if they something comes out overnight, nobody's going to be shocked that God forbid their position goes the wrong way. So again, these tweets are just all over the place. They really are all over the place. We went from down 300 points last night to up the down 100 to up 250 to only up like 60 points in the middle of the day. Back to close to the highs of the day, just absolutely craziness. And it's challenging. But again, if you are patients, if you practice patients have a really, really good process and just be level head. Again, I think that's the name of the game. At this juncture, when you know we are a victim to the headline, you know, why would you trade extra loose? This is a very, very important time to recognize where the value is the first three, four hours of the day will give you a very, very good advantage depending how you trade again, everybody trades different. And the biggest risk. Okay, not only is an abnormal market in the afternoons because again, people are less likely to chase. Okay, in the afternoons because of people are tired. Most wonder what the case may be in a normal market. But in this type of environment, if you guys have noticed the biggest example of a storm, right, literally a storm of tweets for China comes after two o'clock and you have the really the most aggressive volatility. And again, I don't want to hear about everybody loves volatility yet everybody loves volatility until market structure breaks down things become volatile again. I was born at night, but not last night. We do this for 20 years. Most important thing is a structured market and I think everybody that's been trading for a long, long time will agree with that. Having said that, pretty solid session again, you don't need 60 random stocks, you don't need to be in 12 different trades. We trade the same names literally, you know, we sprinkle in names here and there, but we trade the same names over and over and over again. And just again, the familiarity of these stocks is crucial, especially in a very, very disturbing type of a market that becomes so irrational at times that you really need to know what you're trading. You have to be comfortable trading because of the risk. You have to know your exposure, right? Good, bad or indifferent. And the most important thing is when you are on the right side of the trade and you feel very, very comfortable, you have to know your measure potential. If not, you are trading blind and you combine that with all these irrational headlines and you could be looking at a very, very aggressive situations. If you are a new trader and you're not prepared for the ramifications or, right, or you feel that this doesn't concern you. Either way, it's not going to end well. Again, let's look at it from the technical point of view. Again, we made the video last night before that news came out and we said, look, the market keeps on, at least the market as far as the QQQQs, they keep on getting rejected.  Again, we look like we're about to rally again today. And next thing you know, again, Qs at supply started selling off. Will this latest headline after the close by Trump, we're getting closer, we're getting things done? Who knows? Again, headlines are headlines. That's great. That's fantastic. But again, you have to play by technical analysis and not the what if game. Okay, and definitely not the prediction game. Again, we don't have a crystal ball. We are not in the guessing game. Very aggressive day. Very, very aggressive day. If you knew where to look, pivots were really good. Really, really good today. Very, very aggressive indeed. I will say, I will say, I'm embarrassed to say I missed the Netflix move up. I knew they got downgraded today. Okay, I missed that first candle. And once it was up like five off the reversal, I never I just didn't look at the stock until towards the afternoon. And I knew 277 was going to be a big number because again, when you look at Netflix 277 here, right? This is the macro area 277. I knew this was a big area. I just thought especially after the market started selling off and the stock started trading back in the 275s. I kind of thought it was going to be better for tomorrow's session. Yada, yada, yada. Tomorrow we will be paying higher prices. But again, stock looks really, really good. And just again, unfortunately, I missed this. Tesla was fine. Okay, Tesla was fine. It just kept on getting rejected off the 249 level. Here is the pivot 248, 247, 50, 248. That was the big number. Here is the Tesla pivot. Here is the Tesla pivot. This 248 level. And again, look how many times it got rejected off this 249, 249, 249. And again, it made it up to like 249 and a quarter. But again, sellers just got very, very strong. Very strong and they defended that 249 area. I definitely minimized the trade. It was fine. But again, what could have been? Eventually, the buyers will clean up those sellers at 249. And I think this thing will test that 253, 50 area. It's just a shame I thought it was going to be today. But it was good. The trade was fine. Beyond, we've been talking about this down draft now for every day. I mean, every day it's pivoting lower. And every day this stock is not even, it's almost not even tradable anymore. Okay. If you think about what's happening with the stock, it looks like literally from the last headline from McDonald's, right? Like every single day just goes down to $3, right? If you guys notice it's $2, $2, $2, $2, $2, $1 update and literally goes down to $3 a day. So, I think tomorrow and this is a big number for tomorrow. Okay, I talked about this today, 137.50.... 137.136.50 area went down to 34 and changed. I think they're just going to keep on walking this thing down. Again, it's not going up on PRs. It's not going up on upgrades. It's just going to keep on going down $2, $3 a day. The big number here technically is 1.33. 133 that's a low from September the 25th. You have lockup coming up at the end of the month, which is not gonna be good. You got like 45 million shares being released. And again, I think this thing goes lower. I just don't see what this thing, I don't see why this thing will go higher. I just don't see it. Anything is possible. Another headline to come. But again, if you look at the stock, it's just they're walking this thing down every single day. I think the line in the sand will be in the next 24 hours below this 133 level or possible very exaggerated drop. 52, right, 52 on MDCO. Congratulations to you guys who took the trade. Nice, you know, nice scalp. Again, it's not a beta name, but beautiful chart. We had this thing on a watch list for several weeks. It finally, it finally triggered today. 52 went to like 52.60. I still like it going into tomorrow. We'll talk about that in a few minutes. Roku was definitely the trade of the day. So here's what I outlined. Here's what I outlined pre-market rising to 60 minute support, which is 116, right? For a potential bounce for experienced traders. But 119 build is important. If it did get there, it could go to 121. Yesterday, I screwed up on my execution on Roku today. We didn't. And it went right to that 21 area. It actually went to the 2170s area. And the most ironic part was, there was a guy who came in and here was the 16 minute view. Let me show you guys. So here was the 16 minute view, right? 118, 88, 118, 90, so 119 build. And here was supply, right? Here was supply to the 121. So it was a beautiful trade, beautiful trade. I was very, very happy about it. It's very rare. You guys hear me go, and I did that. So I was very, very happy about the trade. It broke 119, sat there for like 15, 20 seconds and then just exploded, just absolutely exploded. The most ironic part about, again, everybody talked about the level playing field was there was a guy in the middle of the day when the stock was like at 17, right? 117, he bet 50 grand, okay? Bet 50 grand that the stock was gonna go, he basically bought the 125 weekly calls, the 125. The stock was at 117. And I said, well, 49 grand is not the biggest trade, biggest bet compared to it, compared to I'm sure the size of this account. But I was saying, well, 50 grand, it's guys betting for a one day rental. It's very ambitious of the guy. And then you look after the close, the stock got upgraded and the stock is trading in the one, you know, basically the 120 area. Again, the level field in the market, guys, that's a bigger myth than, you know, than the Loch Ness monster or the two ferry. It's just, it's a joke. It's a complete joke. ULTA never got to the 235 area. And I think that's it. I think that's it. I think that's it. And oh, by the way, again, guys, for all you guys who don't trade beta, okay? That's the point of these pivots. You don't need, okay? You absolutely don't need to trade pivots, to trade pivots, excuse me, trade beta and trade pivots. I try to put, I try to put non-beta names, okay? On the watches. And again, what you guys are looking at for all you guys are joining us the first time, this is the private Twitter feed, right? This is the private Twitter feed. This is not obviously the live webinar. This is the private Twitter feed. Everything goes in here. This is the last night's watches. Again, obviously 264. You saw Tesla, Roku with the biggest move of the day. Beyond GTX, GT-HX 2140, GT-XX 2140. Had a nice little move. Went all the way down to like the 2060s area. Again, for $21 stock. Fran was definitely the biggest trade of the day. For all you guys, again, I wasn't in this thing. It's not really my thing, but again, nobody, again, a pivot is a pivot. Nobody needs to hold your hand. Fran, 1555 and this thing exploded. It absolutely exploded. It went to 1743, so big move there. And obviously MDCO was on the watch list as well. So a very, very constructive day. Again, for the bulls for tomorrow, and this is kind of how we segue into our watch list for tomorrow.

The Indian Home Ministry has recently red flagged the Zoom application, on the basis of concerns raised by India's Computer Emergency Response Team over potential cyber attacks through the video conferencing app. Ministry of Home Affairs in its advisory through Cyber Coordination Centre has termed Zoom as unsafe. The guidelines have been circulated to stop any unauthorized entry into the Zoom conferences and thwart malicious attack on other users. The Home Ministry has emphasized that the government officials should not use the application for official purposes. The major fear of the officials is that the use of the Zoom application has crossed 200 million since the lockdown began. According to a section of media, there exist more than 500,000 stolen passwords and account details for Zoom, for sale on the dark web. Earlier, India's Computer Emergency Response Team had said the application was vulnerable to cyber attacks, including leakage of sensitive information. According to the Ministry, now many organizations have allowed their staff to work from home, obviously due to lockdown, to stop the spread of coronavirus disease. Online communication platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft, Teams and Teams for Education, Slack, Cisco, Webex etc. are being used for remote meetings and webinars. Insecure usage of the platform may allow cybercriminals to access sensitive information such as meeting details and conversations. Zoom has become extremely widespread, and it has become popular recently as more and more people, employees, are working from home during the lockdown period. Even video communications enable you to organize remote meetings, webinars, etc. with audio video for all participants. It is today one of the most downloaded apps on the Play Store. In case of Zoom, it is claimed that a motherboard analysis revealed that its iOS app sends data to Facebook even if a user does not have an account on it. A user has filed a suit against the company, alleging that the video conferencing app gathers information of its users and discloses it without authorization, this personal information to the third parties including Facebook, which amounts to invading privacy of users. According to Zoom's response, Zoom takes user security extremely seriously, a large number of global institutions ranging from world's largest financial services companies and telecommunications providers to non-governmental organizations and government agencies have done exhaustive security reviews of Zoom's user network and data center layers and continue to use Zoom for most of all of their unified communication needs, that's what Zoom claims. Well, cybercriminals are always plundering and praying for targets online through various insecure apps, they want to be one step ahead of the cyber cops, so just be safe as we enter the virtual world more than before, stay safe and good luck.


So let's say I'm sitting in my room. Now I have my own frame of reference where the origin is right here where I am. Now I have my axes, maybe the y-axis goes in that direction and the x-axis goes in that direction. Okay, so my phone rings. Now where's my phone? It's right here. So the coordinates of that first notification are 00, the origin. Now one second later I get a second notification still from my cell phone which is still located here at the origin. So what are the coordinates of that second notification? They are 0, 0. Right? Both of these events happened at the same place. But if there was an astronaut floating up there in space, they would disagree. Because in the second that elapsed between the two notifications, the earth would have moved 30 kilometers. So from the astronaut's point of view, there's a whole 30 kilometers between those two events happening. So when I say both events happened at the same place, they both happened at the origin, I mean relative to my frame of reference which moves with me. So here we have Alice. Alice is standing at the back of a train and in this problem we're going to be describing things using Alice's frame of reference which moves together with her. Now on the opposite side of the train is Alice's friend Carl. Carl throws a ball towards Alice and Alice sees it approaching at 10 meters per second. Now in Alice's frame of reference relative to her, what speed does she see herself as having and what speed does she see the train as having?


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will discuss a question which says that proof that the circles x square plus y square minus 8x plus 6y plus 16 is equal to 0 and x square plus y square is equal to 0 touch externally at a point also find its point of contact. Now before starting the solution of this question we should know some results. First is circles between the centres of the two circles the radii of the two circles for internal contact is equal to this circle are given by my circle is given by us with the solution. Now the equation of the first circle is given to our equation of the circle. Now comparing this with the journal equation of the circle of the circle which is given by that is the equation number 1 is minus 2 minus f of g and f here this will be equal to minus of minus 4 first circle which is given by equation number 1 is of g square minus c. Now c is 6 is g and this is f this will be equal to square root of minus 4 square plus 3 square minus 16 which is equal to square root of 16 plus 9 minus 16 which is equal to root 9 which is equal to now given the equation of the second circle minus 20 is equal to 0. Now comparing this with the journal equation of the circle f is equal to minus 10 which implies g is equal to 2 equation number 2 which is given by equation number 2 is minus 2 minus f this is g and this is f here so this is equal to minus which is equal to minus 2 5. Now r2 of the circle which is given by equation number 2 which is minus 5 square minus minus 20 so it will be minus of minus 20 25 which is equal to 7 therefore r2 is equal to the coordinates of center c1 are minus 3 and the coordinates of center c2 so by distance c1 c2 is equal to square root of x1 whole square equal to square root of minus 2 minus 4 whole square plus n is 3 whole square which is further equal to square root of minus 4 is minus 6 and minus 6 square is 2 square root of 100 which is equal to so the distance c1 c2 is equal to 10 units currently at a point. Now using the first result which is given in the key idea is equal to 3 which is equal to 10 units in the centers which is c1 c2 is equal to the point of contact of the two circles so the second result which is given in the key idea now the point of contact let it be p xy divides the line joining the centers of the two circles that is 1 is 3 and r2 is 7 units so the ratio will be equal to 3 is to 7. Now the point of the two circles c1 c2 find the coordinates of p and that we can find by using the section formula or let this be x1 divided by 1 now by section formula x1 whole square divided by 2 plus m2 divided by 1 now putting all these values here equal to 3 into minus 2 plus and here it will be 3 into 5 plus into minus 3 whole upon 3 upon 10 and here 15 minus 21 whole upon this will be equal to the equation of the given question and that's all for this session hope you all have enjoyed the session.


and there's our fried steak. Sweet tea and cornbread. That's a Georgia way to eat. Nice and crusty on the outside. Done on the inside. It pretty much goes in the skillet for three minutes. Flipped two more minutes. It's done in five minutes. I can't believe I had fried cube steak on here. Today, we were making cube steak. Making two. One of y'all wanted to know how I made my cube steak, so I'm about to show you. The first thing I do is I take salt and pepper and I sprinkle it good and I don't flip it over.  Because I put enough on one side that it's gonna be delicious without me flipping it over. So put plenty of salt and pepper on it. Then I use Weber steak and chop and this is put, it's in a different container, but you can buy it. It's a store Weber steak and chop. It's my favorite for chops. I use the same recipe for my pork tenderloin that's been mechanically tenderized as well. So they make pork just like this and they tenderize it just like a cube steak.  I use pie plates all the time to season and bread things. They're wonderful.  Now I could have gotten by with one since I don't have a lot of cube steak, but my recipe costs for two, so I'm making it like my recipe. The recipe that you go by is actually the recipe in my first cookbook and it's called Fried Pork Tenderloin or Fried Tenderized Pork or something like that. You would use it just like you would for cube steak. It's the same thing except one is beef and one is pork, but they're made the same way. You're gonna put enough flour in this bread. I'm good and you can even use the flour that you use to bread them to make gravy if you want to make gravy for supper. So save it.  You don't dredge it. You actually put it in the flour and press the flour into it so that it has a really nice coating. Now this is just how I make my cube steak.  It actually has like breading on it like breadcrumbs, but now we grew up eating cube steak this way and you probably did too. So we're just gonna leave that sitting there. We're gonna put it in our skillet and fry this up. Now when you fry this, you will only because it's thin. You will fry one side for three minutes, flip it, fry the other side for two minutes. So you're gonna want your oil pretty hot so that it gets a nice pretty color, okay? And it needs to get done pretty quick. You need to fry it the amount of time I'm telling you to because if you do it'll be delicious, it'll be tender, it won't be greasy. It pretty much goes in the skillet for three minutes, flips, two more minutes. It's done in five minutes. Alright, we're gonna put oil in it. It's on a medium heat. I use a good bit of oil y'all. I do. You can use it in your gravy, whatever you want to do with it when you're done. It's up to you but I do use a lot. Alright, this is cube steak so I can just pull a little piece off of it pretty easy. So we're just gonna sit that in the skillet. Once that thing starts, sits in there, it starts dancing around a little bit, we gonna know it's hot enough and that's when we can drop our two pieces of cube steak. So just remember that you do not want to put your cube steak in your oil if it's not hot. On something like the skillet getting hot enough.  Do something different. Wait, when it's time to eat supper you won't have as much to do. Gonna drop it in. Alright, set the timer three minutes. Now you can heat this and make gravy out of it but since it had meat in it, you got to use it within a couple of hours or you have to throw it out. So that's just up to you. If you want to just use this flour for supper and make a gravy once your drippings are done on your steak, then you can do that. Otherwise discard it because raw meat has been in it.   And now we're gonna cook them for a couple more minutes on this side. And I did turn up the heat just a hand to do the other side. Now on this side you can tell that they look like they're gonna get browner already because I turned the oil up. You can see how it's starting to burn this is how stainless steel does. It starts to want to burn the flour on the edge of the pan. I don't normally make gravy in stainless steel. If I'm gonna make meat and do a gravy, I do not use stainless steel. I use my cast iron, okay? But keep that in mind as well because if it were in a cast iron pot, come around here and show them this burnt side, it would not be doing that. It would not do so. That will make your gravy taste like it's burnt. I'm gonna get these out in two minutes. Turn our timer off and there's our five steak. We're gonna get some peas or I got a little bit of butter right here. I'm gonna slice me a piece of cornbread. Put it on the plate. Slice it in half. Get some butter on it. That'll be a good piece of cornbread. Yummy! Sweet team cornbread. That's a Georgia way to eat. But I know all y'all around the United States in the world like to eat southern food and y'all eat stuff like this. Now watch this and listen to how crunchy it is. Nice and crusty on the outside, done on the inside.  There's a fine line there kind of. Delicious. Whatever steak and chop is better than the other brands that have the steak and chop type stuff. Y'all should try it. It's really good. And no, they don't pay me to say that. I don't get paid by nobody to say anything. Except for myself. Y'all know I'm gonna tell you what I think. Hope y'all have enjoyed Colored Valley Cooks today where we taught you how to make Plano Cube Steak. I can't believe I hadn't fried cube steak on here. But most of the time I do fry the pork tenderloin that's tenderized. Most people can't get that but at angles where we live they have this tenderized meat and pork and beef. It is delicious. Y'all have a wonderful day and go cook like mama did.


Hey guys, it's Jen from iCreeCrafts. In today's video, I will be showing you how to create these adorable Let It Snow ornaments using flat ornaments, some snow from the dollar store, and some vinyl. I will leave all of my supplies I used in the description below. Such an easy craft, so let's get started. All right guys, so to make these ornaments, I'm starting with these ones that I have here, Let It Snow. Some of these I bought from Etsy, some I bought from Design Bundles, and then some of them were in Design Space themselves. I have the yearly subscription, so that's where I found them. I just went, oops, not uploaded, images. I went to images and then I just typed in Let It Snow. And then I found some in here, and then like I said, I found some on Design Space and other places. So you can do it this way. Like you can see these say uploaded. I have a lot that I uploaded and I purchased already. Some of them say subscribed. If you have the subscription, you'll have this little A here. That just means that you get that included in your subscription, so you can find it that way. And that one's kind of cute, too, though, that I saw this one. So I already did that, so I found these four or five that I have on here already. And there's only a few things that I'm going to do with this. I'm very visual. I like to see what I'm doing and what it's going to look like. So for me, the ornament that I'm using is just a flat ornament, and I know it's about three by three.  And I'm going to change the circle to be three by three. So it's just to visualize it. So here it is here. If you put it up in the corner here, you can see with the ruler up top, three by three. So this is the size of my ornament. And I want to make my files a little bit smaller than that. I'm not sure if this guy's going to work out. We're going to see maybe I'll have to get rid of the snowflakes here, because if you shrink it that much, there's no way you're going to be able to add it out or weed out those little pieces there. So to do that, I have it selected. I'm going to go up to ungroup up here and it's going to ungroup everything for me. So basically I just try to see if I can find it on the side here. Here. So here it is here. I just want to get rid of those pieces. Actually, these ones right here, the snowflakes. So you can either click the little I here and that will get rid of it or you can go in and delete it itself. So I'm actually going to go in and delete it itself. I still think it looks cute. Maybe if I can, nope, I can't. It's going to say if I can ungroup this, I can move that up a little bit, but you cannot. It's the way it is. So I'm just going to leave that. Actually, you know what? I'm going to see what it looks like with getting rid of those. I like that by itself right there. So the last thing I'm going to do is I'm going to select all of this and then I'm going to attach it. Because I wanted to cut out as one whole piece. I'll just use like a white color or maybe even a light blue or like a holographic color, but I haven't figured out yet. But we're going to see what this looks like. I have to shrink it enough to get into this circle here. So we will see what it looks like. So I just used the double arrows and I dragged it, but now I'm going to unlock it here and see how wide I can get this. I want to get the most out of it. I think that's about as far as I can go because my circle is three by three. So I don't want to go over that. So this one is finished. I'm going to leave that one the way it is. This one, same thing. I'm not sure that these snowflakes are going to cut out very well. So I'm going to go up here to the ungroup button and do the same thing. You can always go back in and add your own if you want. But maybe one right here since this worth is over or maybe we can move it. Here we go. Sometimes you are able to move words. If they're not grouped together and maybe I'll just put like a little star or something in here. So I'm going to go to the shapes and I'm going to see what they have. So there's a star up here. Here's a different star. I'm actually going to grab that one and see what it looks like. The fun part with this is you can design it any way you want. You can add you can get rid of whatever you need. So we're just going to actually see how this looks. We'll add a star in here and maybe we'll turn it just a little bit. Oh yeah I like that much better even though it's not a snowflake it's still kind of getting you know what you're saying out there so I like that but I can tell right now that this black is different color than this black. So two ways you can do that you can either go up here and you can change the color or you can just select the whole thing like I'm going to and then push attach. And you know what sometimes when the images are not together by themselves I always push the weld button because sometimes your cricket machine will know to it will actually cut out little lines here where it was supposed to be attached. So I always push the weld button just to make sure that that won't happen going to do the same thing just kind of put it in here see if it's even going to fit. Sometimes it's really difficult to cut out small wardings so we'll see how this looks and how big I can get it in here. So that one looks okay so we'll see we'll print this one out to and see what it looks like and I'm just going to show you one more. I like these snowflakes but again they might not work. So I'm just going to shrink it up really quick put it in here and now it's behind it. Don't worry your images still there it's behind it. So you want to go to a range center front there it is we're just going to shrink this just a little bit and those snowflakes should be just fine actually I'm a little worried about this one. And with this file this came as is how you see it you can't ungroup it you can't detach it. The only thing you can do is contour it. So I'm going to click on that and see what we can do with that one little snowflake there. But it does it looks like he's doesn't it look different doesn't it looks like you have a bunch of little pieces in here looks just the same I'm going to leave that one I thought that these were little pieces that you had to weed out but they're not so I'm actually going to leave that as well. And then I'm going to fast forward this I'm going to do these two really quick and then I'll show you the next step. All right so a couple other things it's going to be very hard to see this just somewhere else so I'm going to see if I can get rid of that I'm actually going to make this a little bit larger so we can see I do like it where it says just somewhere else but I'm actually going to get rid of that and this one will let me get rid of it so I'm going to click the ungroup button up here and then see if this all comes together or how it is sometimes they'll attach it together so there it is right there I just want to get rid of this piece so I actually need to ungroup it one more time and now it should give me just that piece now I just want to get rid of that one I'm going to move this back up to kind of where it was because I just touched it a second ago there and now I'm going to select all of it actually I'm thinking I'm going to get rid of this guy too it looks kind of funny all by itself so ungroup it I'm going to grab just that and get rid of it he'll kind of weird there all by himself so I'm going to select it all and I'm going to go to weld again just because like I said the letters are touching each other and if you just attach it cricket will think that that's two different pieces so I always just weld it together so I'm going to take my circle and then just kind of going here again again as a fun part of this is just kind of trying to create it make it your own it doesn't have to be you know just this the way it looks you can always add to it if you want to so these are finished I believe I did them all did I not yes so the last thing if you want to change a color on any of these and any of these you definitely can like I said some of these they're already welded together some of them you can't take apart so like these ones whichever one this one is this one could be different colors like you do let it snow and white and then or in like a bluish color and then you could do the star little stars and little dots like a bluish color or sorry white but I'm actually going to leave them the way they are I think I'm going to change a few of them to like a blue color so I just selected it went up to the color box and I'm going to change it to blue so then the whole thing will cut out blue and I'm thinking maybe this one so just selected go up to the color box and change it to blue and you can do it any color that you want doesn't have to be what I'm doing it doesn't have to be what size I'm doing but I have like a really pretty holographic blue color so I'm going to use these two blue I'm going to get rid of this and then I'm actually going to change these last ones let's get the third one these last ones to a white so I'm going to select all three of them go up here and then find white but as I was doing this I did notice one thing another thing you want to look for is make sure that this is all grouped together so down here it has attached and welled you cannot click on those so that one's good to go this one we were already welded so that's good same thing with this one you can't do anything else with it there was one here so if we do this one and we don't click weld or attach it's going to cut out separately I'll show you guys really quick what I mean sometimes people ask me well what does that mean you didn't show it so I'm going to show you really quick what that part is going to look like so here it is let it snow and it's going to cut out all of the separate you don't want that you don't want to go ahead and cut all these out and have to figure out where they go so that's what I mean so I'm going to cancel this I'm going to go back and I'm going to weld this one together so this was the one so I'm going to click weld and now it's going to put all these pieces how you see it basically so now we're going to go back to make it and I'll show you what it looks like so we'll have a blue mat and a white mat just like that see it fixed it so one thing I do is move this over just a little bit that I can get my scissors in between each one of these files so here's the blue one and then that was the white one I really love this guy so I can't wait to weed him out and see what it looks like then I go to continue down here once you like it the way it looks and the colors that you want you can click continue so what I like to use is this stencil vinyl here as my base material and then I always for some reason it seems to cut better for me I go to the more one really important thing to remember is your blade I didn't realize that my blade had stuff on the tip of it so I actually replace my blade with a brand new one and it cuts so much better so if you're having an issue with your blade not cutting correctly or your vinyl not cutting all the way through check your blade so I'm going to go ahead and cut this out I will weed it out in these two different colors and then I'll show you what it looks like okay guys so I'm all set up here I did a few of these to show you what they would look like here's the first one the little snowman that I loved let it snow and I put some fake snow in here I think it turned out really really cute then I did this other one let it snow but a different kind of font and different look to it and then I put little snowballs inside of it you can fill this as much or as little as you want these are the ornaments that I was using I bought these from Michaels for 50% off they're just little flat ones you can buy these from the dollar store you can buy them from Amazon wherever you'd like and I bought this stuff it's just fake snow from Michaels as well I'm losing some here for 299 but I've got it on sale for half off and then I also found at the dollar store these really cute little fake snowballs I thought those are really cute to put in as well so the first thing you're going to want to do is clean off your ornaments at the front really well you don't want anything on it and then while it's drying you're going to want to use your or put your vinyl on your transfer tape so I'm going to let that sit for a minute and excuse my mess behind me because I was working on these before I started the video to show you what they would look like so I'm going to actually take this first file just let it snow it's just a pretty blue glitter color so I'm just going to put my transfer tape on here and then just rub it really well with my squeegee to make sure that it here's to the transfer tape then what I like to do is flip my design is stuck to my table with my design upside down and I can see if everything is coming off there are little tiny pieces on here then I make sure that stay on here so I just flip it upside down and make sure everything comes off sorry about that guys my camera battery actually died so I finished putting this on the transfer tape and my ornament is dry now so I'm just going to take it and put it on the center as best as I can and if you have a circle a full circle ornament I would suggest putting slits in your transfer tape so it's easier to put down but because this has a little bit not too much of a curve to it I'm just able to press it down with my fingers and make sure that every letter goes on straight but if you do have a circle one I would just suggest putting a couple of splits in it just like that and then once you get it on you just want to take your transfer tape off very slowly making sure you don't peel up any of your vinyl perfect just like that and then it's your decision what you want to fill it with I don't really have much left of this I got about three ornaments done with this fake snow I really love how this looks again it's this one it's got a really pretty fluorescent color to it so I'm just going to use some of these fake snowballs here just be very careful because it is very very messy if you do have a funnel I would highly suggest using a funnel here but unfortunately I cannot find mine anywhere so I will be making more of a mess you just want to open and end up and if you don't have a funnel I just kind of like clench my thumbs my fingers together and kind of pour it in and then just estimate how much you want to put in there I do about half or a little bit more again your station is going to get messy so they're just like that and then you just want to put the cover back on and it's just like that that easy to do so here's the back where you can see all the little snowballs and then there's the front and I would not seal this I would not do anything else with it this is permanent vinyl so this will stick forever so I would highly suggest not putting anything on here plus you don't want to ruin the clear part of it either so the last part I'm going to do is just put a ribbon or a bow on it and it's going to look like this so I'm going to finish the rest of these up and I will show you what they all look like


come back, it's mixed from the next creation and what are we talking about? Let us talk about the different kind of people that you can find in these companies. Yes, most of us come to the Gulf countries, yes, we do come to the Gulf countries, we need to have to earn a living, we need to further our developments, we need to further set up something that is different or what do we have to call tax free money in this country that is even better than in our countries, right? Most of you will agree with me, but when we come to these countries, Gulf countries, we find companies, this may be government companies, private companies, it may be a home, it may be you are going to work as a security, domestic worker, housekeeper, driver, wherever you may be, yes, we have what are called company accommodations, we have companies, we get to go in those companies one more time and something that I need to let you know, we find different people, different nationalities, different people are coming from different areas from Asia, from Africa, but these are different people in one way or another, everyone you see in that company has his own problems, has his own aspirations, has his own dreams, has his own long term plans, so you will find in those companies, you will find the good people who will advise you accordingly, the bad people, they will advise you or divert in another way and those that will discourage you, it is not possible, we have those, we have people that have come into the companies and they feel that is the final destination in that company, that is the final response, definitely you will find that kind of collective people and they will definitely do whatever, do whatever they have, you will find those that care, you will find those ones saying no, whatever I get the salary, so long as I get the money every end of the month, the rest I don't want to know, we have those kind of different people, all those kind of different categories, as you ever experience them or you always experience them every day, as you get to meet them every day, but something that I need to let you know or something definitely you need to know that you are an individual, in these companies we get a lot of to learn a lot of things, we learn a lot of skills, for those that do not know how to cook, they come learn a lot of few skills, for those that had what you call small business minds or what you call small things that they can do, they can do hair cutting, making some chapattis for the rest of the people and that is earning them some amount of money, but know how to deal with every kind of people you find, know your dreams and know your aspirations and all that, thank you so much for coming back this channel, hope to see you again, it's mechs but they don't forget to share and like, it's mechs from the Mech Pressure Team.


Hey, Radiant Moms. I just wanted to happen here and tell you that you are nailing it in this season.  And we just wanna celebrate all of you today for Mother's Day. So we know that God knows everything about you.  We're gonna do a little scavenger hunt. So get your kids together, and we will give you some items that are mom's favorite things, and you will have 30 seconds to locate or identify those items. Are you ready? Okay, let's begin. Item number one, go find your mom's favorite candy. All right, ready? Item number two, go find your mom's favorite cereal. Super. Okay, number three, find something that is your mom's favorite color. Fabulous, you're doing great.  Excellent job. Now go find your mom's favorite game to play. Great. Now go find your mom's favorite coffee mug or tea cup. Awesome job.


And still in the news, after several years of the impact of Boko Haram, a Damawa state has finally joined all the Nigerians to celebrate Independence Day, following the return of peace in all affected areas of the state. Governor Amadou Fintiri assured residents that security will always be top-most priority of his administration. He, however, called on security personnel in the state to always work hard towards ending the activities of bandits, kidnapping, shilla boys, and other forms of insecurity. Our subordinates have to do with the crisis of insecurity, occasioned by activities of terrorist elements which have done the unimaginable challenge to our unity as a people. On an occasion like this, it is important that we remember all the precious souls that have been lost in the unprecedented war of terror, kidnapping, and the menace of shilla boys and farmer-harders, crises before the advent of this administration.  In their mission, they have maimed, they have killed men and women and children, rendering many children orphans on several women widows. They have made violence their ideology and are bent on destroying the peace of our people. The Commissioner for Information, Dr. Umar Pella, says the state has encountered many security challenges in the past, but Fintiri's administration has brought hope to the people. So you get notified about fresh news updates.


So, I would love to talk to you all about this new tool that you may have seen floating around our various networks called Lassie. And essentially, what Lassie is, is a retrieval tool. That is the bottom line. It is a thing to retrieve stuff from our networks. It's a new IPFS client that can fetch content from pretty much anywhere. It's written in Go. In that respect, it's a new Go IPFS implementation like Pupo. We've started from the ground up and we have a single goal, which is downloading your data in IPFS and Filecoin. It should just work. We basically say, if you want your data, just tell Lassie to fetch it. That's our motto. And essentially, the origin of Lassie is that as our networks have grown, we start to see a proliferation of some transfer protocols. Well, BitSwap is our bread butter when we see a lot of graph sync on Filecoin. We're starting to see a lot of folks interested in HTTP. And this is all very interesting from a programmer perspective, but from a regular person perspective, no one really thinks what transfer protocol would I like to use to get my data? That's not something that people care about. What they want is they want to get their data. And so Lassie is a multi-protocol retrieval client. So it can figure out what data is available on what protocols and figure out the best way to get it. We already support BitSwap and graph sync. We're working on a trustless HTTP transfer protocol. And then in the future, maybe we will also add some cool stuff like this new thing that I wrote is working on. What is it called? Bow or if you've heard of carpool or car sync. And we have another sort of like approach, another sort of aspect of Lassie, which is in addition to not worrying about how you, what protocol used to transfer, we don't want you to worry about how you find your data. So Lassie can find data through both the IPFS DHT. We use IPNI, the network indexer to talk to the IPFS DHT. And we can find content on the Filecoin network. We don't have to know where your data is. We'll just track it down. We can even track down some providers who don't put their content in the DHT through BitSwap. And as new content networks appear, we intend to add them to Lassie. So goodness, though, if you haven't heard of the network indexer, I think that's the best way to advertise your content. It's super fast and super awesome. So how do you use Lassie? So we've designed Lassie from the beginning with basically three main ways to use it. The first is as a command line executable tool. You can download Lassie already compiled and ready to go and just run it immediately to fetch data. It's designed like we try to design it like a Unix command so you can pipe it and compose it with other things. And I'll show you how that works in a moment. The second way you can use Lassie is we have built essentially a mini HTTP server that exposes a trustless HTTP gateway that serves car files. It is much like the spec for the IPFS trustless gateway, but we do some other cool stuff. You can find data at a half beneath a SID. And there's a bunch of other things that go a little bit beyond what the current gateway spec is for trustless data, though we are actually working on an IPIP proposal to extend it or for trustless gateways for other IPFS implementations. And finally, we've designed Lassie from the start to work easily as a library so you can easily incorporate it into your Go application to seamlessly add retrieval from IPFS and Filecoin into your Go program. We see this as a sort of long-term Lassie superpower and we'd love to partner with other organizations, other teams who want to integrate Lassie into their systems. Cool, so there's a couple of things that Lassie will not do. We've built some design constraints into it and we put this in for a specific reason, which is that we want to stay focused on a goal, which is retrieving data. As a result, Lassie does not store data permanently on your machine. We return a car file to you and we think that's up to you to figure out what you want to do with it. We also will not provide records to the DHT because again, we're not holding data permanently. We are not a way to advertise to the IPFS DHT or other content indexing systems.  We are largely stateless. When you run us as an HTTP server, we hold onto a little bit of temporary state just to make some optimizations, but one of our goals from the start is there shouldn't be a config file or any other file that lives permanently on your system. As a result of Lassie, we are essentially a stateless tool for the minute you stop the program running. And we think this somewhat artificial design constraint is necessary as a way to keep our program simple, focused and easy to use for other folks in their programs. Cool, so let's see what Lassie can do. Essentially, as I said, Lassie is a simple command line tool is one of the ways you can use it. You can essentially tell it to fetch a given SID and then it will return that to you and it can return that to you as a data stream that you can part pipe to another program. In this demo, we actually fetch a SID and pipe that output directly to the go-car command line tool and then we use the go-car command line tool to convert it to the flat original data file and then we pipe that into FFMPEG, the video player and this is what you get. Again, we'll see if this actually works. Cool, yes, so here we are, we're typing it in. We're getting it, we're putting in a provider, we're getting a SID, then we're passing it to car, we're passing it to an FF player and you magically get a video playing on your screen. It's kind of cool that you can just go from a SID to a video playing. All right, cool, I'm gonna stop that because it's super loud. So another thing is so while Lassie's pretty new and it's definitely still in development, Lassie's not really a prototype project. We are already in production. We are the primary retrieval tool for the Saturn network to do cache misses. So when the Saturn network gets a request for data and they don't have it, they just turn over to Lassie and say, find this data and through the REIT project, which is the decentralized gateway project, that translates to we're downloading about 140 million SIDs a week through Lassie. So we've got some heavy volume use case and we're working on optimizing, we've got a whole team working on it. And Lassie is also increasingly one of the easiest ways to download data through Filecoin. So we're starting to recommend it to enterprise clients who wanna put data on Filecoin and get it back. And we have, as I said, we have a team working on Lassie. We're continuing to optimize, we're continuing to optimize how we select protocols, we're continuing to optimize each protocol implementation. And our goal is to make it faster and better over time. So if you wanna integrate Lassie into your project, I'd say go for it. We do have some work to do on documentation but we're also working on that. Yeah, so if you wanna know here more about Lassie and you happen to be at an IPFS thing, you can come by the data transfer track where we're gonna be doing the deep dive into the architecture. You can also just hit me up on Slack. It's probably the easiest way. I'm also happy to meet with folks one-on-one. If you start to use Lassie, give us feedback, file a GitHub issue. I didn't actually include the repo in here but talk to the Bedrock team, that's the team that's developing Lassie or complain to us on Twitter that we do not have a Twitter account. So you'll have to figure that one out yourself. Yeah, that's the tool. That's what we got. Yay, thanks.


Alright, welcome back to another video. Today's video is going to be a short voiceover over this quick shoulder workout and it was a quick workout, much quicker than usual because I got some sort of, I don't know, divine intervention to tell me halfway through my shoulder workout or a quarter way through to go and try and break the Anytime Fitness Alice Springs 500 meter row record which I did go in attempt after this workout. So what you're seeing here guys is just a few clips from my shoulder warm-up. I'll do some external rotations I'll do some rotator cuff movements, some really light presses, side raises, just to warm up my shoulders.  First exercise was a shoulder press. I'll use dumbbells, I'll use military press, I'll use a Smith machine, a plate loaded machine, pin loaded machine, really doesn't matter. You know the shoulder press is a really good compound movement. Today I started with 20 kgs, did two warm-up sets, went to 28, did another warm-up set. First working set which you're seeing now is with 34 kgs. Second working set was with 36 kgs. Third working set was with 36 kgs and the fourth working set which was a drop set which you will see was with 34 and I dropped it down to 20. So usually following a pressing movement I will go and do side raises, I'll do rear doubt flies, I'll do possibly another pressing movement. You know a good hour long shoulder workout is usually pretty normal for me. Today we cut it short after these presses and you will see why. I went over to the rowing machine, busted out the 500 meter row and yeah you guys are gonna probably laugh at me after that because I didn't feel too good, didn't feel too good. I think I say in the video it was an absolute shock to the system. Well I'll tell you what yes it was but with that being said I will leave you guys now. Check out the drop set, it was an absolute grinder. The form is on point the whole entire time all the way to the last rep and that is what I preach and it's what I try and do you know some days you go in there and you just don't feel it and you know you do rush through your workout but most times most times I try and keep time under tension as my main priority but with that being said keep watching and I'll see you guys see. I'm gonna go smash shoulders later and just by the way I am still kind of disappointed. 130.9 is nowhere near my best. I got 126.1 about a year and a half ago and that that was I was really proud of that. This is day number one cardio session number one 130.9 we can only go forward from here. Yeah we've got to get this. Lucas is a bit competitive so he might come and try and break up. Awesome that's what I need. I need some confidence. So now you're gonna work your way down to 2k right? Yeah I don't know well there's no one there is there? No. I think that we've got to get this. Part of the blog. Boom. Alright guys we are back we're back from the gym back from dead. Got my name on the board and that is all that counts right?
