What is up everybody, Jason here for jaspyscaserace.com. We just sold out 2324 upper deck Black Diamond Hockey, five box inner case break, random teams number one guys. So again, we're chasing Bidar and some really nice hits in this Black Diamond Hockey. Just released on Wednesday guys. So here's the dice roller, here's the customer name, sold out straight up guys. And then of course there's the teams. Everybody gets a random team, let's roll it. Two and a one three times, here we go. Three times one, two and three. Two and a one three, three. Gerald, down a hoof set. Now three times here, three, three. One, two and three. Three, three, three. Blackhawks right at the top, all the way down to the Yotes. So boom, Gerald who actually got the last four spots. There you go man. Hawks right at the top. Michael you have the Canucks, Scott with the Flyers, Gerald with the Blues. Joe, Lawson you have the Canadians, Gerald with the Wild, Jim with the Rangers, Nicholas with the Sharks, Yankee with the Avalanche, Hulfe's having the Islanders, Kevin with the Panthers, Gerald with the Sabres, Troy with the Penguins, Michael with the Senators, Chris with the Blues, a blue jacket sorry. Robert with the Predators, Randy with the Flames as well as the Jets, Hulfe's having the Knights, Scott with the Devils, Randy with the Lightning, Raymond with the Bruins, Michael with the Leafs, D-Mag, you have the Hurricanes, Yankee with the Kraken, Nicholas with the Oilers, Robert Runk with the Capitals, Craig with the Kings, Joe the Ducks, Raymond with the Red Wings, Yankee with the Stars, and Hulfe's up with the Arizona Coyotes. So there we go, boom, just like that. You guys wanna make any trades potentially, I'll leave the trade window open. What's up G-Cloud, how you doing man? Thanks for sounding that out, got rewarded. Now let's get some Bedards for you man. So like I said, I have a whole master case guys, depending on how this one goes, you know. If you guys wanna try the second half, you know especially if you don't point anything massive, second half's gonna probably be crazy good, I'll post it up, and then hopefully we can sell some straight up spots right away to get some momentum going. And then if anything, I can always create a filler for it this time, so that way it doesn't straggle that long. Remember we're not live tomorrow guys, so any breaks you see on the website today, definitely wanna try to get them done today.  But yeah, I'm feeling confident about this case though guys. Saved it just for you guys. Definitely feel like we can get some nice stuff. Try one of them closing guys. So like I mentioned guys, we do have, like I said, a full master. One, two, three on the left side, four, five, six for the right side guys. Five, one, two, three, four, five, six. So this one potentially, either for the second half, if you guys wanna try another five boxer, or turn those into one boxes after we get done with the next two that we have loose. I think we're gonna point it massive here. We could definitely do another five boxer today. I think we had enough momentum today, sold 16 spots total today, so I know we could do it. Just like that. All right, here we go. Oh, thick, this mama is good lord. Good lord. Good, good. That's crazy. All right, Nick Suzuki to 75. To 80 ends, that's going to Joe. Save that, that's usually the hit. You got Elias Pedersen, Diamond Mine Relics for the Vancouver Canucks, going to Michael P. You have a Simon Edmondson to 99. Little Diamond Nation, really, really cool looking part actually. Red Wings to that one. That's going to Raymond. Then we got a Maddie Berniers to 299. And then we got a Luke Hughes Exquisite to 349 for the Devils. Devils that is going to Scott. And last one before the actual hit hit is a Exquisite Tandems, Stan McKita and Bobby Hall to 299 for the Blackhawks. It's called the Blackhawks going to Gerald. All right, let's go with the hit here, guys. Druels of the Draft. And it's Tyson Forester, Patch Autograph, 2020 NHL Draft, round one pick 23 for the Flyers on a Scott. Nice little first box there. And see the good thing about that is that it's not just the one boxes. You know, you can buy two spots in a one box or it's almost the price of the random team break. You know, you only get one box, two teams, but this one's great when it's five boxes. How about a Doug Gilmore Cup Winners patches? It's friggin' awesome. These are all manufactured patches, but they're pretty sick. And we got another Edvinson Diamond Fawcett. Little shadow box there. Red Wings with a couple of nice inserts for Raymond. And we got a Max Savdye to 100. Rookie Gems, Jesus Christ. Buffalo, going to Gerald, last one, Mojo. And then an Exquisite, Sean Farrell Rookie for the Habs 2399. Joe, last one with the Canadians. All right, here we go. And a Samuel Bulldog. Is that a diamond right there? Looks like a diamond. Yeah, Diamond Relic, just one though. Islanders. Hope's up. There you go, man. Little diamond for you, buddy. It's kind of weird that they're, they only have them on one side. I think I liked the one that was just like one. If you had two, you had two, then you had three, then you had four. But two out of five, though. Then we had a Riley Grig. Two boxes down, still three to go, guys. And we have a manufactured patch, Team Logo Jumbos of Luke Evangelista. Last one there for the Predators, Robert Runkle. We got a little Alexander Barkov Diamond Mine Relics for the Panthers, going to Kev. Then we got a John Gibson of 2.99. And then, nice Matthew Coronato, Exquisite Rookies. These are selling really, really nicely for some big names. Three out of 99, Calgary Flames going to Randy. All right, and then we have a Phillip Grubauer. And then, how about another Diamond Relics, Bobby McMahon? Looks like a double diamond. 89 out of 99. So there's a diamond right on this side and a diamond right on that side. That's for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Michael P. Two more boxes, guys. We don't have anything massive in this side, guys. Man, the second half just feels like could be some massive stuff, but there's still a lot we can still pull here, but. So far, we have Team Logo Jumbos, Steve Iserman. Or if you do collect all of them, put them together, just makes one big emblem. Detroit Red Wings, Raymond. Looks like we have an Exquisite coming up. And a lot of Ed Vincent to 25 Exquisite Rookies. Red Wings having a hell of a break, Raymond. You're the biggest Ed Vincent collector now. Luke Hughes to 299. And then, Leal Carlson, very nice. 236 out of 349, that probably sells well. Anaheim Ducks going to Joe. Number two overall pick in this past year's draft. I thought they would have drafted Fantilli, but they won with Leal instead. Nice. And then, Aiden McDonough to 99. Black Diamond autographs for the Vancouver Canucks, which is going to Michael P. All right, guys, one more box. You guys are interested in the second half, we don't point any massive. Let me know and I'll post it up right now. I thought they should just give it a shot. All right, this one feels heavy. Big one. All right, we got a nice two-color patch for the Canucks. Heroes. We have Eric Lindros to 299. The Flyers. He's going to Scott. And another Exquisite rookie this time. It is Luke Hughes for the Devils to 299. That's probably pretty nice. Scott with the Devils. Last one before the hit is an Exquisite Tandems, John Leclerc and Eric Lindros. 299 for the Flyers. So yeah, I've been hearing that every innards has at least one to two diamonds. So we already pulled the second one here, so in the next case you'll have its own set of diamonds. And here we go, last hit of the box, last hit of the break. And it is a Sebastian Ajo. Team Jumbos. This one actually didn't even have an auto or a diamond. Extra relic, maybe?  This should have been an auto at least. All right guys, well again, some beautiful stuff here as always, but I definitely feel like that second inner might have all the big, big heat. So if you guys want to give it a shot, I'll post it up. I might post up some fillers if it gets stuck guys, but again, if we can sell 16 spots within the last seven, eight hours today, I think we can sell another 16 quickly. And then like I said, if I need to do a filler, I might just do a five spot filler, so that way we can kind of get maybe some people in that don't want to spend too much, still get a chance to get some spots there. But yeah, there was some nice stuff here though, regardless, but I feel like the second half is probably the pretty loaded one. So I'll post up another one guys, see if we can do it today. And like I said, we're not live tomorrow, so I think today, hopefully people want to get in again on this today, so yeah. This one right here guys, hopefully it has all the big juice in it. Appreciate it guys, thank you.


Alaska is a land of plenty when it comes to fresh game meat. We have moose, caribou, reindeer, buffalo, muskox. The list goes on and on. Canning is an excellent way to preserve meat so that it can be stored safely. While meat may be canned in a glass jar, many people prefer to use cans. When you use a can, you have a lightweight product that is unbreakable and is easy to transport. Hi, I'm Roxy Dinsdahl of Alaska Cooperative Extension, University of Alaska Fairbanks. Because game meat is naturally low in acid, pressure canning is necessary to kill dangerous microorganisms. For more information, refer to our learning module on pressure canning. Research on food preservation is an ongoing process. The United States Department of Agriculture and the Cooperative Extension Service continuously apply new research findings to their food preservation techniques. The guidelines in this module may be revised as we find new ways to increase the margin of safety or to increase the quality of the food. Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service annually for updated information. Let's take a look at the equipment you'll need for canning meat. First, you'll need a can sealer. You need cans and lids. You need a pressure canner, either a weighted gauge or a dial gauge pressure canner. We need sharp knives and a cutting board. The cutting board, if you don't have one, you can use a cardboard box or folded newspaper to cut on. You need a thermometer that's capable of coming up to temperatures of 170 degrees. You need a plastic knife to release air bubbles. You need a paper towels or a towel. You need a skillet, a timer, a marker for labeling cans, a pen or pencil and paper to put down our accurate times, potholders, and finally, a can lifter. Before you begin, review the manufacturer's directions for pressure canning. If you don't have an instruction manual, be sure to contact the manufacturer for a new copy. Your pressure canner must be in good condition. Inspect the gasket to make sure that there are no tears or nicks. You want to make sure that the pressure plug is seated properly. And finally, we want to check the vent port. Look through the vent port and make sure that there is no obstructions that will reduce the airflow. If you're using a dial gauge, have it checked annually for accuracy. Dial pressure gauges may be checked by your local extension agent. You may use either half pound or pound cans. They come in two different types. This is a two-piece can, which has no side seams, no bottom seam, only a lid, and three-piece cans. Three-piece cans have a bottom seam, a side seam, and the lid. It doesn't matter if you use a two-piece can or a three-piece can. They work exactly the same way. Before canning, make sure your can sealer is working properly. Run a few empty cans through the sealer and check the seal. If you aren't sure about the seal, refer to our two publications, Visual Inspection of Can Seams in Home Food Preservation, and Assembling a Can Sealer. Both of these are available from your local extension office. When you have game meat, handle it with care. Keep game meat iced, refrigerated, or frozen until you're ready to can it. The meat should be stored at temperatures lower than 40 degrees. You can either use fresh game meat, like I have here, or frozen game meat for pressure canning. Many Alaskans freeze their meat after harvest. After a year, if it still remains in the freezer, then they can it. This gives us an effective shelf life of two years. When you use frozen meat and you're going to can it, what you want to do is to thaw it in the refrigerator or under running water before canning. Trim away freezer burn that might have occurred for a quality product. In preparation for canning, you may rinse the cans. You want to be careful not to wash the lids. There's a delicate sealing compound right on the inside of this lid that may not seal if it's washed off. We want to cut the meat into chunks, or cubes, or strips, whatever final form you want the meat to be in in the can. Then we're going to precook the meat to a rare stage by roasting, stewing, or browning it in a little bit of hot oil like I'm doing here. I'll be back when I have the meat ready to go into the cans. Now that the meat's browned, we want to pack it loosely into the cans, leaving a quarter inch head space. Now that I have my cans filled, we're going to look at the meat being no higher than a quarter of an inch from the top of the can. Then I'm going to add boiling water to my cans, again preserving that one quarter inch head space. You can choose to use the broth out of the bottom of the pan, or you can use tomato juice, or other liquids that your family might enjoy. Once your cans are filled, we want to shift the meat to make sure that we've released any trapped air bubbles that might be in the bottom. Now that we have them to this point, we can add salt, garlic powder, pepper, any of those seasonings that your family enjoys. It's important to note that the seal is formed differently in cans than in jars. So the first step in the sealing process is to exhaust air from the can before sealing. This process prepares the meat so that a vacuum will be formed during the pressure canning step. First, we're going to put a rack in the bottom of our canner. I've already put enough water in it so that the water will come about halfway up the sides of my cans. I'm going to place my open filled cans inside the water in the canner. If you have more, then we'll fit in one layer in the canner. We're going to put the second layer in a different pan and heat it separately. I'm using a cake pan here. You can use a roaster or whatever pan works well for you. I'm going to place my cans again in the water where the liquid comes about halfway up the sides. And then I'm going to adjust the temperature so it's at a gentle boil. The next part is crucial. We want to check the internal temperature of the meat. It needs to be 170 degrees. But it's important that it be inside of a piece of meat because the temperature of the juice will come up faster than the temperature of the meat. So it's an internal temperature in the meat of 170 degrees. Now as they heat, we're going to check each can because they may not all heat at the same rate. When a can of meat reaches a temperature of 170 degrees, use the jar lifter to remove it from the heat. Use a paper towel or a regular towel to clean the edges. I'm going to use my potholder to remove it and place it in the center of the turntable on my can sealer. Put the lid on the top. I'm using an Ives Way can sealer today. Your can sealer may be different. Make sure that you follow the instructions that is with your can sealer. I'm going to pull the lever down and again center it so it's completely engaged all the way down. My window shows a zero. Means that this is at the beginning of the process. I'm going to crank it until the first set of rollers come in. Then they release and the second set of rollers start. And I'm going to continue cranking until my window shows a zero. I know I've been all the way around. Still very hot. So use your potholder, lift up, and then inspect your seam and make sure that it's done correctly, that there's no v's or no droops. This is a good example of a can that has a droop in it. This seal would be compromised. After sealing, inspect each seam on the can to ensure that it's completely sealed. Check for sharp edges or drooped edges. For the safety of the product, if a seam is formed incorrectly, the meat must be removed from the can, packed into a new can, brought back up to 170 degrees and resealed. Correctly sealed cans should be returned now to the hot water in the canner. After all the cans have been exhausted, sealed, and inspected, it's time to start the canning process. Filled cans have been placed in the canner on the rack in the bottom. If you have more than one row of cans, you either need to use a second rack or offset the cans by placing two here with a third one in the center. Add more water to the pressure canner if needed up to three quarts of water. When your canner is filled, place the lid on the canner. You wanna look for the little arrow here on this canner and it matches with an arrow on the handle. And I know that those two have to match up for it to go on. Canner lids go on only one way and most have an arrow like this one that shows when it's correct. Be sure that your lid locks completely.  We're going to turn on our stove on high and we're going to heat the air inside the canner. As we heat the air, it's going to expand and push the excess air out of the vent port. So now I'm going to watch the canner until we have a steady stream of steam coming through the vent port. As you can see, we have a steady stream of steam that's coming out of the canner. We've allowed this to go on for the last 10 minutes and so now it's time to close the vent. With the dial gauge canner, we drop the dead weight on.  Now we're gonna watch the canner and wait for the pressure to come up to 11 pounds on a dial gauge or 10 pounds on our weighted gauge. The way that we know it's 10 pounds on this weighted gauge is that it will jiggle gently. Now, we're gonna process our one pound cans for 99 minutes and the half pound cans for 70 minutes. For altitudes greater than 1,000 feet above sea level, be sure to check with your local extension office for correct times and temperatures. Now we're gonna wait until we have 11 pounds pressure to start the timer. Now that the canner is at the recommended 11 pounds of pressure, we're going to check the time and write it down. I'm gonna add to it the 70 minutes that is required for processing half pound cans.  I'm also going to set my minute timer so that I'll have two ways to check my processing time. Stay in the area where the product is being processed so that any changes in pressure can be corrected immediately. If the pressure drops below the recommended amount, you have to bring it back up to the proper amount and restart the timing. Time process is completed. Turn off the heat and remove the canner from the heat source if you can. Let the canner depressurize. Allow the pressure to drop naturally. Don't use a cold cloth or cold water to rush the process. It takes 25 to 35 minutes to depressurize the smaller canner, a large one like this one may take 45 to 60 minutes. Don't rush the process. When the pressure gauge reaches zero, we're gonna gently nudge the dead weight and make sure there's no pressure inside the canner. No steam should be released and no resistance should be felt. Gonna wait 10 minutes. Now that I've waited 10 minutes, I'm going to unfasten the lid and remove it with the facing away from me so I don't burn myself with the steam. I'm going to remove the cans with the can lifter and place them on a cutting board, a rack or even folded towels. And I'm gonna let these cool for 12 hours before moving them again. Do not put the cans in water and the can, as you can see, the canned lids are slightly domed right now. As they cool, they will pull in and this indentation tells us that a vacuum has been formed. When the canning process is complete and your cans have cooled for 12 hours, examine the seams, make sure that they're nice and smooth, flat and that there's no evidence of any leakage occurring during the canning process and that there's no sharp edges. Then you know you have a good seal. So what happens if your can didn't seal? You have three options. First, you can take the can and place it in the freezer and use that can just frozen. You can take the can and put it in the refrigerator. Keep it for three to four days. Use it within that time. You can also reprocess by opening it up, putting it in a new can. Reprocessing does not affect the quality of the meat inside. Wipe the cans clean. Write with a permanent marker the date, the product, the minutes of processing and the pounds of pressure. Store canned goods in a cool dark place. Do not allow cans to freeze as it may compromise the seal. For best quality, use canned meat within one year. Now you have fresh canned game meat ready to be used in your family's meals.


You're financial news network updates and morning folks. This is Steve Rhodes coming to you live from the shores of very sunny Delray Beach floor. This your 9 a.m. update and currently have all U.S. equity futures trading to the downside. That was down to 11. NASDAQ is up 187. The S&Ps down 42 and the many Russell is off 18 points. That's about 1% to the downside. Gold's up 21 bucks a little over 1%. Silver's down 2.5% or 54 points. S testing support. We'll take a look at that. 30 your treasures off on nearly two points. 1.21 seconds out there trading out at 142.02. So what's all this mean or what are you going to be watching today? We'll switch back and forth between a couple of charts right now. We'll take a look at the daily equity future contract charts out there. Gonna want to really watch the close today. Why? Because if we do get various reversal candles, which we have right now, that's easy to do for the ES many because yesterday was just a doji. Right now you've got a three river evening start pattern. If we do get that, that's a sell the D point signal. That would suggest price pulling back and testing support. The first level of sport would be 40 59. Inside the end queue itself, the D point pattern would suggest price moving back to 12 797. In the case of the Dow, its first level of support is around that 32 174 area. And inside the Russell 2000, it's below 18 70. But that would then confirm a sell the D point pattern. So it's going to be the end of the day that you're going to want to watch. Don't know what it will look like at the end of the day out there. If you don't get a bearish reversal candle, then the next likely topping signal would be TD nine count tops coming from the ES, the end queue and the Russell 2000. But they're close today could impact that as well out there. Let's go take a look at what's going on in the other markets out here. So if you give me a moment, we'll take a look at my other nine panel market update screen out there. And first, what we'll look at here is the US dollar index. US dollar index is trading in between support and resistance, which is between 105 63 and 106 82. That's the top and the bottom of its profiles. Goldilocks, as I mentioned, or maybe I didn't mention it has an A to B equals CD. And if it does create this little bearish reversal candle, which is present right now, that suggests a price could pull back to 17 58 to 17 73. Silver right now is testing the bottom of its daily profile. That's at 1958. We're trading in 1953. The close blow 1958 is going to suggest lower price, lower price being where? Well, I'd say at least the top of the swing point from the trading day of July 14th out there. By sweet crude, we have to watch that here today. You've got the natural gas consolidating with inside its daily profile as are the 30 year treasuries support for the 30 year treasuries one 40 31 folks day two and Tommy O'Brien is up next with the morning market kickoff. Have a fantastic Friday, wonderful weekend. I'll see you on Monday, 11 o'clock sharp. Take care.


Such a wonderful time of year a bit of a snowy morning quite the snowfall last night This is a morning where you're thankful to have four-wheel drive, but the snow won't slow us down We got work to do no clue. What's really on the agenda for today? Thanks, we'll find out snow. We'll just say that snow is on the agenda for today and a lot of four-wheel drive Scared daylights out of myself at the Timmy's this morning I guess my wallet had dropped between the seats into the back and when I got to the window I couldn't find my wallet Panicked a little bit Good thing I found it on the floor behind the seat in the back there Otherwise it probably have been dropped out in the snow. That's what I was thinking There was somewhere out in the snow and I'd never find it again, but we're okay. It is still a go They haven't told me what I'm doing today. I don't know if I'm still filling in for that driver Or if he's back and I'm filling in for a different driver I know that they said there's a couple of drivers that were out. Well, there's either I think one had a funeral to attend and All the preparations I guess that goes into that and another one had some time off for Christmas or something Finally told me to show up this morning. So here I am Battling the weather in the four-wheel drive. At least we got a clean truck might be full of snow But it's clean. I brushed off as much as I could I'm gonna go in there get our paperwork get the truck figure out what we're doing and get to it It's gonna be an interesting morning with all this snow Snow clearing is already in effect everywhere. They're already plowing all the roads and the yards and everything So it probably by the time we get going, you know, you get everything warmed up It'll probably all be clear and good to go. Oh We're riding fancy today everybody Mercedes Check this out. So it's a solid wall behind me, but there's a lot of space back there. I'll show you later. Maybe I got a review mirror for my convenience to Stare at the wall, you know just in case I forget what's there All right, let's go. It's a snowy day out here today. This thing isn't the best in the snow, but We'll make it work. I know what I'm doing But in too much or anything that is a stadium for winners break up right there This is the new stadium as well, I don't know why they built it here Well, it's a better location because the last one was you know closer to downtown But this location has no parking You think it would because it's a big wide open space, right?  There's one package here one package there And I'm guessing I do all my pickups in the morning and then in the afternoon I'm gonna run out and get all the deliveries done is I'm guessing that's how they work it Going down route 90 here right now Keniston Boulevard or whatever is called now route 90 changes names many times in Winnipeg it goes from from Keniston I might miss a few here. Keniston to Century Brookside I think there's another one in between there's no going to like I don't know changes names a few times It's route 90 I got to go and pick up a package up on Wall Street Not the Wall Street in New York. That's a different wall. That's a much fancier Wall Street Winnipeg has its own Wall Street. It's an industrial zone Not quite the same a little bit slow moving today because of this White stuff there's glorious white. Well, it's actually brown on the road right now real messy Real messy But we want to get on a Portage Avenue. Now if you're giving directions in Winnipeg or getting directions most likely The street Portage Avenue will come up Take Portage to this take Portage to that It's one of the busiest roads in Winnipeg and this is where we got exit right here Portage Avenue follows the Asiniboine River on the north side all the way from downtown and it turns into the Trans Canada And if you keep following it, it'll take you all the way to the Pacific Ocean in Vancouver, British Columbia It's the same road. So Winnipeg is known as the heart No, is it the heart of the continent and also Gateway to the West? Because everybody traveling from Eastern Canada into Western Canada will come through Winnipeg here way back in the day They'd have to go right through town here. Now we have a bypass. We call the perimeter That goes all the way around get out of this lane. I think this this road here So we're facing east right now. This road will take us right into downtown Winnipeg and behind me a Long ways behind me is Vancouver, British Columbia Not very often that I get to sort of do To pick up and deliver is running around all these places in the city All right, let's get on to Wall Street Whenever I say Wall Street, I always think of like New York Or wherever Wall Street is in America, you hear about it in the movies all the time through all the rich people. All right, I Don't know. What do I know? Our Wall Street is not nearly as nice But hey, look at what we got to deal with every year This is just the beginning of winter today is winter solstice actually happy solstice everybody. I guess it would be yesterday for you But it is officially the first day of winter for me today on December 21st Three months to go and it's springtime Yes, welcome to Wall Street Isn't it fancy I told you It's always fun delivering in a big truck with this guy off on the right It's just like a straight truck, but this guy on here has to get into a dock with a full trailer And then this guy's parked in the road here into this lane. This is always a fun neighborhood delivering Very old neighborhood. I was honking what? There'll be honking at me. What do I do? I think we're just up here off on the left One package going to Steinback This sprinter is so quiet. It doesn't seem like a diesel to me I Had to make sure it was the diesel when I first got into it was one this thing runs so quiet even going down the highway Even accelerating you can't even hear the engine. It feels like it's and sounds like it's an electric vehicle I'm very impressed. It's a 3500 diesel How'd they get it so quiet? Me the engines obviously stuffed up underneath the dash here because the hood is so short, but wow This is impressive Look at that. You can just barely hear the turbo. That is hashtag impressive It's amazing what they can do with Engines and vehicles nowadays. I mean, why can't they make every vehicle this quiet? Glad I brought my wipes along today Well, we did all of our pickups in Winnipeg and now we're rushing to get all of our deliveries done here in Steinback Got one more left just between Steinback and Le Broquerie Time is four thirty three and I have to be there before five and they are officially eight minutes away. Oh Yeah They got four boxes Whatever Karen, I know where I'm going so that's been a fun day driving this little sprinter around has actually been quite a lot of fun it's very maneuverable and Can get in anywhere can go down any street. There's no like restrictions like for truck routes and stuff You're waiting. Okay, then I'm going I didn't get the green light Okay, are you going straight? No, you're turning. Thank God for signals. You got the right away, bud. Go go Okay He was supposed to go There's another van just like the one I'm driving on the right there That's what this one looks like But it's been a lot of fun fast-paced and I know I'm slower than the guys who have done this For a while and who are used to it and used to all the deliveries and pickups But I'd get faster every day We are going really slow here though But first off this guy's license plate's falling off and the guy in front of them doesn't know where his gas pedal is I've got six minutes Well six minutes on there. I have 25 minutes to get there and then I'm done This bad boys got some pretty good pickup and go to she'll give her. Oh Wait, that van doesn't have doolies. I have doolies on this van having fun today I can't get out of this lane either people will not let me around these people Finally I got into this lane This car up here without its lights on was holding up traffic for everybody long line up behind them In the left lane just putson along now. He's going pretty good. You know if you're scared of the winter conditions I mean, it's okay to go slower It's okay to go slower if you're scared of the conditions But if you are going to do that at least stay to the right at least stay as far right as possible Right the left lane isn't a travel lane. It's a passing lane. A lot of people don't understand that This last delivery was down a beautiful little driveway Tucked away in the woods This is awesome. This is my kind of living beautiful farmhouse off to that driveway that just went off to the right there not too far from town, but Far enough to be nice and hidden away in the bush can't see it from the road well plus Plus they got neighbors across the road that like to decorate for Christmas friends Look at that Cousin Chris's farm Chris and Tanya is also right across the street Not these ones here in front of us. Oh I'm gonna need to take a running start at this You're running start at this. There's some serious snow there. All right. Here we go everybody Look at both left and right. Nobody coming. Yeah, so Chris and Tanya Delivered to your neighbors across the street from you a nice property there, too. This is a very nice area here I'd say that was a successful day for a first-day drive in a sprinter Do pick up and delivery something I'm not really familiar with but I mean it's picking stuff up and dropping stuff off I'm pretty familiar with that It's just with the schedule with the customers with the deliveries the addresses Everything takes me a little bit longer than the guys who have been doing this for a while, right? So a little bit slower than them That's okay if I stayed on here permanently and I wouldn't be opposed to that. It's great company if it didn't work out at the other place We'll see what happens. I mean if something comes available right now They said they had no permanent positions available, but I'll take all the temporary work I can there because I like it and the more I do it the faster I'll get Maybe I'll work my way up to the number one driver there, right? It's always my goal. It's always my goal to be number one But it takes a little while to get up there takes a while to get used to the system, right? And then I'm starting something new on Wednesday. Hopefully not for sure for sure for sure but hopefully and if that all works out and it Everything you know clicks Just perfectly And it'll take me a few weeks there Maybe a few months to get into the swing of things Hopefully not a few months maybe like a month maybe like four weeks to get into the real swing of things Get to know all the customers get to know all the deliveries all the equipment all the people there You know the mechanics people in the office everyone that I need to deal with regularly And then you find out who the best driver is And then you target them You never sabotage them right healthy competition you find out who the number one driver is and you try your best and try your best And try your hardest to be better So you're number one because we're winners, right? Winners were number one and you don't just become number one By yourself. Nobody gets participation trophies. Those are lame. I Hated when I got participation true but participation trophies and hockey so lame. I still have some of those trophies in I Mean people ask me. Oh, wow. Did you win those like no? They felt bad for me. So they gave me one. I didn't win anything, but they gave me a trophy like how lame No, you want to strive to be number one in everything you do All right find out somebody who's really good at what you do like I said find the best driver find out Who is the best like see how they do things find ways to do it better and faster and more efficiently? That's how you create a great resume and How you create good relationships because if you want to get a different job one day You got to have some really good references and you want to be Excuse me You want your previous employer to be able to tell your new employer that he yeah, yes He was our number one employee or at least one of the best right always cleaning up after himself Always getting the work done on time always showing up on time always staying late if need be Always getting the job done no matter what? Finding new ways to get the job done more efficiently Right got to think outside the box If they expect this from you hit them with this So you get what I'm saying right Now you're gonna have to remember that you're not perfect and your employer is gonna have to remember that you're not perfect either I'm definitely not perfect. I don't nail all of those points every single day Sometimes I miss them by a little more than I should Let's say that I'm not the greatest of the great people out there But I want to be and I want to keep getting better so that one day I am right Like today for instance, I was slow. I was a lot slower than the other drivers. Was it a little embarrassing? Yeah, because I want to be number one of course, and I wasn't number one at all But just because you're not number one every day doesn't mean you can't try to be tomorrow But tomorrow I'm gonna go in I'm gonna do a better job. Maybe I won't be number one again Maybe I will be I don't know. I'm gonna try But it's only gonna be you know what my fifth day at this place So there's some guys that have probably been there for years. It's what it would take a long time to get to their level of efficiency Don't get discouraged if you're not number one right away tomorrow's a new day Dodge is trying to roll coal there. Oh, you see that Always dodge I gotta be for dodges. Don't I I do a little bit. Don't I I don't know they're nice trucks. They're nice trucks I just pick on them Ripped is out right now. So We got the house to ourselves boys Party time guys night. Come on. What we're gonna do what we're gonna do Good boys. I have wieners in his kennel so he doesn't get hurt Stepped on because somebody has a sensitive back It's just me weiner mom's not here. Don't get too excited Guys don't step on them. Don't step on them. I mean your mom's not home. Careful careful careful Chevy Okay, guys. Hey guys watch watch him. Weiner. Can you go somewhere safe, please? Hi weiner. Hi Hey guys, I Appreciate the Rockstar welcome The Rockstar has arrived Merry Christmas. Oh, I can't say it the Chevy is a family channel, but you know what I mean Got my cousin Eddie hat on All right, guys. Thanks for the welcome So I gotta shovel the driveway before Brit comes home because like six inches of snow on it again I just shoveled it last night. Oh, the snow came back I'll shovel the decks that if we get any packages delivered here that The package delivery guys don't fall Can't they sue us if they do that? I don't know diesel. How's everybody doing? Who wants to go outside? Who wants to go outside anybody? What you doing up there Frank? Weiner go outside. He's gonna roll around party over there. Oh, come on. I know you guys want to go outside Come on Come on commander Frank. So it's a fun day. We were driving a Mercedes Sprinter van I think it's called a van or a truck. It's a van Lots of room in there. It's crazy. It's a 3,500 diesel And we're doing pick up and deliveries. Are we gonna be doing that today and tomorrow and then on Wednesday? Like I said is the big day Hopefully everything goes good then and We'll see what happens But I'm pretty tired. So it's been a long day Thanks for watching everybody. I appreciate it. Always do your best be number one We'll see you tomorrow


Hey there, Chip Monge here for High University Libraries. Let's say you have a company and you want to compare your company against others in the same industry in a particular area, maybe in a state. This video shows you how to do that. You can also use information found in this video to create a potential list of clients. For example, if you're looking to sell your product to companies in a particular industry in a particular location, this video shows you how to do that. So what we're going to do is use LexisNexis Academic to find companies by location and create a list and get information about those companies. So here you go. So when we get to LexisNexis, we're going to click on companies. And then because we're going to create a list of competitors or create a list of potential clients or customers, we're going to do this create a company list here. And then we're going to go in and the variety of ways you can search for this, depending on what criteria you want to use, or we're going to look for customers or competitors or potential clients. We want to find companies in the same industry and to do that, you use these NAICS codes. And unless you know the NAICS code by heart, you have to use the NAICS code lookup here. And typically what I would do is start browsing. Sometimes the search up here doesn't necessarily work as well as you think it should because you have to actually match the your terms up with the terms that are available down here. So let's say we're looking for liquor stores. Well, a store is under retail trade. And then liquor would go under basically food and beverage, right? And then here are beer, wine, and liquor stores right there, okay? And then what I typically do, well actually drill down as far as I can is to see what's available down there. And generally I will usually just go ahead and select most of the ones that are there. And if they broke it down further and it was just liquor stores without beer and wine, we could also just select that and not get the ones of the parents in the hierarchy there. You can also go up here and search for liquor as well. In this case, we would have found the same thing. But you have to make sure you actually know the words they're using, otherwise you may not find anything. So sometimes it may be easier to actually browse. Once you've made your selection, you just click OK. And then we'll go down and actually put the next codes in there for us. We'll go down and let's say we're just looking for liquor stores in Ohio. So we'll just do United States here, do States, do Ohio, and then create our list. If I was 1235 companies here, we'll go over here and click next to customize our list. And here's where we can change whatever kind of information we want to have. I'm just going to do, let's see, I don't really want their ticker symbol because most of these are going to be privately held companies. I don't really want their website or email address, not needing their fax number. We know they're in the US, we don't need their country. And let's get rid of primary SIC and choose primary NAICS because that's what we originally searched on. And then we can go down and click update our company list. Now this is going to be sorted by default sort order if we want to. We can sort by city, by sales, let's just do by city here. And then click update company list here. And then there we have our list of companies sorted by alphabetically by cities in Ohio. If we wanted to, we can download these selected items to excel. It would be a good way to see how many liquor stores are in each city compared to other cities in Ohio. To once again get a good idea of your potential competitors or your potential customers that you might be reaching out to. So that's how you do this in LexisNexis, company dossier. Hope this helps you. If you need more help, look for the contact link on the business blog. Be glad to help anyway. Can't take care and have a great day.


In our very basic introduction to R and setting up, there's one more thing I want to mention that makes working with R really amazing. And that's the packages that you can download install. Basically, you can think of them as giving you superpowers when you're doing your analysis, because you can basically do anything with the packages that are available. Specifically, packages are bundles of code. So it's more software that adds new function to R makes it so it can do new things. Now there are two kinds of package to general categories. There are base packages. These are packages that are installed with R. So they're already there, but they're not loaded by default. That way, R doesn't use maybe as much memories that might otherwise. But more significant than that are the contributed or third party packages. These are packages that need to be downloaded, installed and then loaded separately. And when you get those, it makes things extraordinary. And so you may ask yourself, where to get these marvelous packages that make things so super duper? Well, you have a few choices. Number one, you can go to Cran, that's the comprehensive R archive network. That's an official R site that has things listed with the official documentation. Two, you can go to a site called crantastic, which really is just a way of listing these things. And when you click on the links, it redirects you back to CRAN. And then third, you can also get our packages from GitHub, which is an entirely different process. If you're familiar with GitHub, it's not a big deal. Otherwise, you don't usually need to deal with it. But let's start with this first one, the comprehensive R archive network or CRAN. Now, we saw this previously, when we were just downloading our this time, we're going to cran dot r dash project dot org. And we're specifically looking for this one, the CRAN packages. That's going to be right here on the left, click on packages. And when you open that, you're going to have an interesting option. And that's to go to task views. And that breaks it down by topic. So we have your packages that deal with Bayesian inference packages that deal with chemometrics and computational physics, so on and so forth. If you click on any one of those, it'll give you a short description of the packages that are available and what they're designed to do. Now, another place to get packages, I said, is crantastic at crantastic.org. And this is one that lists the most recently updated, the most popular packages. And it's a nice way of getting some sort of information about what people use most frequently, although it does redirect you back to crant to do the actual downloading. And then finally, at GitHub.com, if you go to slash trending slash r, you'll see the most common or most frequently downloaded packages on GitHub for use in R. Now, regardless of how you get it, let me show you the ones that I use most often. And I find these make working with R really a lot more effective and a lot easier. Now they have kind of cryptic names. The first one is de plier, which is for manipulating data frames, then there's tidier for cleaning up information, stringer for working with strings or text information, lubricate for manipulating date information, HTT are for working with website data, ggv is where the gg stands for a grammar of graphics, this is for interactive visualizations. gg plot two is probably the most common package for creating graphics or data visualizations in R. shiny is another one that allows you to create interactive applications that you can install on websites. Rio is for our input output is for importing and exporting data. And then our markdown allows you to create what are called interactive notebooks or rich documents for sharing your information. Now, there are others, but there's one in particular that things useful, I call it the one package to load them all. And it's Pacman, which not surprisingly stands for package manager. And I'm going to demonstrate all of these in another course that we have here. But let me show you very quickly how to get them working. You just try it in R. If you open up this file from the course files, let me show you what it looks like. What we have here in our studio is the file for this particular video. And I say that I use Pacman, if you don't have it installed already, then run this one installation line. This is the standard installation command in R. And they'll add Pacman, and then it will show up here and packages. Now, I already have it installed. And so you can see it right there. But it's not currently loaded. See, because installing means making it available on your hard drive, but loading means actually making it accessible to your current routines. So then I need to load it or import it. And I can do it with one of two ways. I can use the require, which gives a confirmation message, I can do it like this. And you see it's got that little sentence there, or I can do library, which simply loads it without saying anything. You can see now, by the way, that it's checked off. So we know it's there. Now, if you have Pacman installed, even if it's not loaded, then you can actually use Pacman to install other packages. So what I actually do is because I have Pacman installed, I just go straight to this one, you do Pacman, and then the two colons, it says, use this command, even though this package isn't loaded. And then I load an entire collection, all the things that I showed you starting with Pacman itself. So now I'm going to run this command. And what's nice about Pacman is, if you don't have the package, it will actually install it, make it available and load it. And I got to say, this is a much easier way to do it than the standard R routine. And then for base packages, that means the ones that come with R natively, like the data sets package, you still want to do it this way, you load and unload them separately. So now I've got that one available. And then I can do the work that I want to do. Now, I'm actually not going to do it right now, because I'm going to show it to you in future videos. But now I have a whole collection of packages available, they're going to give me a lot more functionality and make my work more effective. I'm going to finish by simply unloading what I have here. Now, if you want to, with Pacman, you can unload specific packages, or the easiest way to do P underscore unload all. And what that does is it unloads all of the add on or contributed third party packages. And you can see I've got the full list there of what it's unloaded. However, for the base packages like data sets, you need to use the standard R command detach, which I'll use right here. And then I'll clear my console. And that's a very quick run through of how packages can be found online, installed into our and loaded to make your code more available. And I'll demonstrate how those work. And basically every video from here on out. So you'll be able to see how to exploit their functionality to make your work a lot faster and a lot easier.


Moscow does not care that Japan is worried about the islands. Medvedev. Moscow is not against signing a peace treaty with Japan, but Tokyo must understand that the Kuril Islands are and will remain part of Russia. Former President Dmitry Medvedev has said, Medvedev, who now serves as deputy chairman of the Security Council, was responding after Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stated that his country remains firmly committed to the course aimed at resolving the territorial issue and concluding a peace treaty with Moscow despite continuing to support sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine conflict. Moscow and Tokyo have for decades been locked in a territorial dispute over the four Kuril Islands known as the Northern Territories in Japan, which were captured by the Soviet Union at the end of World War II. Russia has argued that its sovereignty over the Kurils is guaranteed by post-war agreements while Japan has said they do not cover some of the islands. Against this backdrop, the two countries ended a formal state of war in the mid-1950s, but never signed a peace treaty. In a post on X, Medvedev stressed that nobody's against the peace treaty, which he said should reflect the fact that the territorial question is closed once and for all in accordance with the Constitution of Russia. The Kuril Islands will be actively developing as their strategic role continues to grow, especially when it comes to the deployment of new weapons in the region, he added, we don't give a damn about the feelings of the Japanese concerning the so-called Northern Territories. Medvedev stated, he suggested that anyone who is unhappy with the situation should end their life in a traditional Japanese way, referring to the seppuku form of ritualistic suicide originating with samurai warriors.
