I'd like to thank you for your presentation on the book. I'm a Jordanian journalist. I just wanted to make two comments to ask you a question. First, about the refugees, or they become more than half of the population, like, in the case of Jordan and the Palestinians, that's one. To my understanding, now Jordan has closed its borders. Now, no, the refugees are not allowed in anymore, because the country cannot have that happening. I wanted to ask you, when you talk about mainstream media, can we really replace the word mainstream with Western media? Because you've got Ajazeera, who have been doing a really great job, I think, in Iraq, and have really changed the stakes internationally. I read a book by, I forgot his name now, a former American Marine, who is now working for Ajazeera International. And in his book, he talks about how he was treated and how he was called a traitor, and everything that happened to him when he left the army. I wanted to ask you, how are you received in the States? And have you been bothered? How easy was it to move around in Iraq? How easy was it to go into Iraq, out of Iraq, when you talk about moving there? I was thinking all the time about kidnappers and the horror stories we hear. So can you tell us a bit about that, and how are you received there by the mainstream media? Yeah. And thanks for pointing that out about mainstream. I was definitely being American-centric there. I meant mainstream Western media, and even more specifically mainstream United States. Because you're right, Al-Jazeera Arabic continues to do a phenomenal job. I think they're one of the best news outlets on the planet, if not the best. And with me, I have not had any direct problems of going in or out of the United States, going in or out of Iraq, working in Iraq, no more than Iraqis do, or anyone else, aside from dealing with the daily risks and threats and having to be extremely careful and taking what precautions you can. And I think a lot of it was just luck.  And hopefully, that car next to you is not a car bomb, which is what every Iraqi is having to live with. But I haven't, and I think some of the more, not covert, but other ways that I have been affected in the United States would just be censorship, that the corporate media just will not run this information. I mean, there's a reason why my publisher is Haymarket Books, an independent publisher, which I'm really grateful they published my book, because none of the other big ones would touch it, because they don't want to report on this information even after a lot of it's been admitted by the military itself. So ironically, the idea of actually national coverage, I was on Al Jazeera International. I've done short radio interviews on BBC World Service, BBC NewsHour. I've been on national media in Italy, and Denmark, and Greece, and Turkey, and basically, and I've been on CBC in the past, but basically everywhere but my home country. So it's kind of an interesting trend.


that he's lying. He's lying. He's lying. He's lying. He's lying. He's lying. He's lying. That's a lovely question. Great question pointed clear simple.   A good answer to that would be no, he's lying. That would be good. No, he's lying and then something like I've never thought that. Yeah, what he says is no, I never told him that. No, I never told him that you had thought about killing her. You just haven't told Lenny.


This is Think Tech Hawaii. Community matters here. Aloha. I'm Marcia Joyner and this is Cannabis Chronicles, a 10,000 year Odyssey. So tell me news of that plant of many resources which wonder far and wide the ancient plant of food, fuel, fiber, cultivated for millennial. So as we venture through the past 10,000 years, we will explore and discover the plant from which cannabis derives. The many uses of the plant, hemp, cannabis, ashes, cannabis and religion, cannabis and medicine, cannabis and dear old Uncle Sam. And so our Odyssey begins. Today our Odyssey is not long going far away. It is current and in progress. And therefore we are visiting with two of my new best friends, Miles Tuttle and Dee. Yes. They are on the forefront of the cannabis industry. They were going to talk about all these wonderful products, but they are the go-to people for all of the vendors who are creating product as well as the dispensaries. You have to have something to hold your product in. You can't just say, oh good, I made these edibles. Now what? So that's why we have invited these two people who not only know product, but they can assist you with the legalese of your product, how to go about this, what to do, what not to do. So they are of vital importance to the industry here in Hawaii. So welcome, welcome. Thank you so much for coming. So tell us all about Kush Bottles. Kush Bottles Hawaii. Kush Bottles Hawaii. First and foremost we want to thank you for having us on the show and thank you for using your voice and platform to educate and inform people as we all learn together. My name is Miles Wesley Tuttle and I'm the CEO of Kush Bottles Hawaii. This is my wife, Adi Elani. She's a general manager when we do is we sell and market packaging products, solutions, accessories, etc., to those operating in the regulated medical cannabis industry. So how did you get started in this? Interesting story. Let's see, 10 years ago I was injured at work and my doctor recommended that I go get tried medical cannabis as an option as opposed to any harder opioids. And I found that it actually worked for me. I was in California at the time in Los Angeles and then I started working with different dispensaries. It's like I went in and I talked to the owners and yeah we just started providing solutions because at that time in Los Angeles the rules were very vague and there wasn't very much regulation. People were getting rated times by the DEA or ROB. Here we're starting fresh. So we moved here probably in 2010. We moved back. Yeah so we've been working with the drug policy Department of Health and as they slowly build the industry we're providing solutions and that starts with child resistant packaging that is specific to this product. We sell it to dispensaries as well as to patients because we feel that children should be safe. The medicine should be safe one way or the other or at least in safe packaging. So if I'm a patient and I buy the product from the dispensary does that come with the packaging or do I have to buy it separate from you? Oh no it comes with the packaging. We're here to support the the dispensaries themselves and the industry in a whole. So if I grow the plants at home then I buy the packaging from you. From us directly. Yes. Okay all right so so tell us now so you started with all of these people and you're on the ground floor with all of the dispensaries and the laboratories and what have you. So what does that mean? Let's see the way I looked at it is everyone wants to either be the gardener or the chef but you can look at different opportunities within the regulations within the laws. So right now based on the number of licensees that are allowed to participate in the market only certain people can be the gardener or the chef but there are a lot of other opportunities and that's where we found packaging as a as a viable option. I would think so because everybody needs it. So then you work with the dispensaries to from the beginning how does that work? How do you? So basically in the beginning you know for a few months I think the dispensaries are kind of trying different options out packaging wise but once we work with them to kind of finalize what they like best like in size wise and what what fits their product the best um and type of packaging then we pretty much will stock their preferences here for them so that when you know they call us and say hey you know we're running low on this then we'll be able to go and deliver to them. Now these are right ahead yes yes oh you gotta squeeze these for children oh it's child proof. Squeeze the sides so make a nice pop oh there you go oh once the children find that out it's hand strength yeah it's grip strength actually yeah yeah but once they can read it says but these are airtight yes waterproof so that your product doesn't they'll do or right yeah and that product is valuable yes right yeah so that now what about vials um you mean I guess or like push and twist oh these ones okay so yeah tinctures tinctures yeah so does this come in one of these no dependent on the you mean she means like packaging yeah okay yeah you could put that in here if you wanted to but you wouldn't really need to because this is um child resistant this one's child pushing turn um yeah and it is opaque as well so all of these are opaque and that's part of the so um so this one do the do you put their do you print their labels or they print their labels they print their labels they print them at this time we are capable of of putting labels or even um printing directly onto the bottles um but that will probably be something in the future once because uh let's assume because most of the people that were at the expo there were 60 different vendors selling CBD yeah yeah so if they buy from you do you do the labels or can you do yes we can yes we have our own graphic design team um and they pretty much can customize you know all of our products yeah definitely yeah so this is this is something like a you know a customized exit bag so you can what do you mean exit bag so I know what you can try oh you want to try this this is a bag so the you kind of push so this is what the edibles could come in or is it yeah so pull this out that way push and slide push and slide okay you got the awesome you got the awesome fingernails yes yeah okay so you just kind of slide it out and then this comes out so it's child child resistant there yeah um so this is an exit bag you know when um the time comes that we or that the dispensaries are able to have edibles you know maybe a patient comes in wants an an edible plus some flower we can put it all in the bag and then zip it up and then they take out the bag with all of their stuff in there yeah so yeah and so you print those yeah we can print those those those are print I like this exit bag yeah I like the exit bag yeah right now what they're working out is uh for edibles uh they're considering having transparent or see-through packaging so the patients can see what they're buying and then the goal is to obviously put them into another bag yeah because I was gonna say that yeah we're where these are transparent or opaque for children not to be able to see I don't children aren't going to try and eat grass they're trying to eat a brownie brownie yeah so you got to have that opaque so and you don't want to be walking out of the dispensary and have somebody on the street see what you've got right right yeah so that's that's a really yeah yeah that bothers me really their security the dispensaries are very secure they have security guards there and they'll the parking is safe so as long as you get to your car yeah so so they walk you to your car or if you feel uncomfortable I'm sure they would yeah I'm sure they would yeah they're what we've worked with uh all of the dispensaries on the island also uh someone Maui and uh they're very professional yeah especially compared to some other states some of our other experiences um tell me speaking of other islands the neighbor islands about transporting okay I look at your face and yeah that's the same issue okay how do we do that for the packaging or for the medicine for the medicine how do you you know Kauai, Niihau, Lanai have nothing so Lanai all of those little islands have nothing so how do they go to the closest dispensary as of now they have to probably either have a caregiver or grow on their own island in their backyard or something like that I think it all comes down to the inter-island transfer or getting on a plane or uh going from island to island uh my opinion on that is uh through research I found that there was a case in 2005 which was uh Gonzales versus Raich where they had interstate commerce where someone was going from one state to another to get a good deal on medical cannabis because we're geographically isolated in the middle of the ocean no one's gonna come over here because the travel is so expensive um I feel that there's a an individual like case by case situation where Hawaii should probably be allowed to at least do everything interstate now okay some people have heard over the years say that the waters between the islands should be part of the state of Hawaii and not federal uh so um if you're packaging right yeah then who would know exactly yeah I'm not one to take that type of risk no but I this is a this is a device and it's for if you have a rolled uh a can of a cigarette it's a child resistant and it goes right inside so you hide the smell I wouldn't go uh from on a plane personally it's it's everyone you know your personal risk tolerance yeah yeah I just I just think the state has to deal with that yeah yeah I totally agree because it seems discriminatory that you have people all over the state it is legal statewide yeah and yet they don't have access all you can do is fly to wahoo but you can't take it back or I'm supposed to well they're working on it every year they make adjustments it's a work in progress and they have like a fix it bill the one they're working on this year has to do with reciprocity edibles vape cards employment discrimination uh testing like people who get drug tested uh at work uh you can't actually tell if someone is physically impaired at the time of cannabis but it actually stays in your system for a longer period so if you were do you really get impaired with cannabis I know nothing so I think it's I think it depends on the person yes person reacts differently so um some people don't really get as impaired and some people really do so it's hard to you know have anything set on that yeah they're working on it in other states as well sometimes you know you have the breathalyzer for if you've been drinking but uh they don't have anything so you said there's a meeting today that's right tell us about that all right it's at three o'clock in room 229 at the at the capital state capital and it's the it's the conference committee meeting on the bill to set hb2729 which specifically deals with reciprocity edibles vape cards uh right now and also uh devices should we show our device something like these little uh devices that are you can vaporize so it's a battery yeah that's a vape cartridge yeah a vape cartridge is pretty whatever that is yeah yeah so you kind of you know spend your cartridge in there it's an oil from the dispensaries and and they fill it up they fill it and we're hoping that they do yeah if the law passes yes right now you you you would fill your own but hopefully yeah they would do it for you yeah and that's really pretty well listen we need to take a break when we come back let's see some more of what you all the goodies here okay okay this is think tech hawaii raising public awareness i just walked by and i said what's happening guys they told me they were making music hello everyone ted ralston here a host of our think tech show where the drone leads where we talk weekly at thursday's noon by the way on subjects related to the emerging technology and business of drones as they might apply here in hawaii issues involving commerce and education legislation technology public safety all the things that you might want to hear about we talk about them with local experts and people from across the country so join us at noon on every thursday and we'll have a new subject and we'll have new faces to talk about this most interesting subject area hello i'm marchie joiner and this is cannabis chronicles a 10 000 year odyssey and today we are visiting with my new best friends for everybody that knows i only deal with my best friends so this is d and this is miles and this is their product their business is kush bottles hawaii very good and they are the underpinnings of the cannabis medical cannabis industry in hawaii if you're going to grow develop process sell you need to come see them to package all of your goodies is that right absolutely that's that's right now let's speaking packaging all of the people that are creating cbd products and like at the festival my goodness i had never seen so many people selling cbd it's grown year after year absolutely so do they buy from you also um they can yeah we have a couple people that do um but yeah they're more than welcome to we we sell to the the local companies here as well yeah so if i want to create a product then i and i say well i need to go to you what are the rules what are what can i do what can i not do what is legal what isn't legal can i come to you for that yeah we offer we offer a compliance uh consulting uh most of the restrictions and regulations as far as child resistance apply only to the dispensary so um there are a lot of other packaging companies out there none that are actually here in hawaii so we usually just get phone calls with people who have either been working with companies on the mainland and they realize that we're here we have all the products on island in warehouse and they just call us and say hey we'd like some of these do you have them and hopefully either we do or we can get them oh i so oh where did if you're going to do a cbd product where does the cbd come from i don't know i mean yeah you grow your own it will open i'll open with i'm not a doctor or a scientist or a lawyer or anything but and i haven't actually experimented with the uh the actual manufacturing of cbd somebody they buy it from someplace they grow it themselves i think i think they grow it themselves and they're able to process it yeah it's moving along that fast that people here in hawaii are capable of obviously growing it in their backyard and then processing it themselves and just calling this up and packaging it some people want actual like uh the the labeling on it or some uh branding or graphic design and they're they're building their brands here in hawaii um getting ready for uh tourism or anything else speaking of tourism let's go back to the reciprocity yeah and tourism yeah what does that mean oh okay well as of now and all the rules are changing probably today or as we speak a doctor would be probably pre-approved from another state would have to be pre-approved said that the qualifying conditions match up to hawaii's special list um and then they're allowed to contact a patient or a patient can contact them and say i'm looking to go to hawaii on vacation for this amount of time um and i'm i normally use medical cannabis i'm i'm just not supposed to for the next uh you know week or two while i'm there um and then they uh submit their information to the department of health and they get approved and they get a card in the mail that they can print out and bring with them and how long does that process take let's assume that oh hey let's go to hawaii for the weekend how long does the process take well it hasn't even been set up yet oh so that's part of what's happening today yes at the legislature yes yes and hopefully as fast as quickly as possible that's what we're hoping yeah because they i read that there are about 18 000 new applicants every month you know that write for the to get their card okay so well i know that there's about 20 000 patients currently in hawaii um yeah you mean in other states no hawaii that apply okay that go to the web page and fill out the application and then they only allow a certain amount of them that actually pass i assume i don't know yeah yeah well you have to do that pay your 38 dollars then go see your doctor then the doctor says yes you qualify for all of these certain things i'm going to do my little plug here uh i just recovered from uh open heart surgery six months ago and my doctor dr paul clink actually did all of this for me so the day i got out of the hospital um i went straight to dr clink and uh him and his doctor and his team there set everything up for me and sent me my card in the mail yeah we didn't have to do any of the online anything so if you go to the doctors they can they know the doctors that do this they know exactly what they're doing yeah but i'm just thinking of the timing for the tours yeah to go through all of that i think it's a relatively new new thing coming up so i think they'll eventually get there where there's a fast turnaround time but it won't be quite yet yeah it's got to be at least the same amount of time that the local patients have to wait like it would be unfair for a visiting patient to get their card like that and sometimes the local patients have to wait a little ways would if you have a card already from another state from another state and you're just you're here on vacation can i use my card from another state no you gotta clear it through the department of health pay your fee and then uh and then they'll send it to you in the mail you're pre-approved prior to arrival so then you just show up and you have your special three two nine v visitor card and then you just you can go to the dispensaries and they'll look it up on the database and that's in process it hasn't even it hasn't started yet yeah so now we that this event is today yeah and you are going i'm gonna i'm an observer and an absorber of information and knowledge and it's very entertaining okay so you will come back yes and tell us exactly what happened okay and where we are in the process hopefully everything goes exactly as planned this is a white state it might i'm really impressed with how much got through this year like there were a lot there was a lot of people butting heads but the fact that edibles are available for people who probably can't yeah if you have a child that's yeah yeah yeah yeah and even for medicine at all uh carl bernquist from the drug policy forum he mentioned that uh cherry flavored night well like yes it's cherry flavored so that the the child will taste it will enjoy it or actually eat it so yeah there are children who need medical cannabis and so edibles also patients coming from other states that only use edibles if we don't have edibles here then they're because a lot of people don't want to smoke yeah it's understandable and and we've done this on every show to talk about if you live in a condominium smoking is an issue smoking anything yeah it's an issue yeah so there has to be another way now tell me with a tincture is that a tincture tincture okay now do you how do you ingest this do you or or do you what there's there's different ways so you can actually physically put it in your mouth like maybe a couple of drops under your tongue like for a child a lot of times they do it that way with a child um you can also do it um in your food so you can use it a certain amount yeah yeah in your food make your food that way and then um also you can do it topically yeah so you know you just drop some on so you specific area and rub it in kind of thing yeah oh very good yeah that was my concern about children because you know all the nationwide that all people talk about how well the child has done with this and all of the issues the children with epilepsy and all of the other and what how good it has been for them so I was just concerned about how you ingest this yeah it's pretty simple so if you have a cut or sore or something on the skin you can mm-hmm yeah probably more for like um muscle eggs or something like that I mean I'm not a doctor either so I'm not really sure actually but um I don't know about open cuts or anything like that yeah we used it on my back when I was having some problems after my surgery um yeah it worked I mean that along with medical cannabis was uh much preferred for me personally than all of the prescription the heavy drugs yes yeah so I had I had no problem stopping uh using those although many people do I had never gone to the hospital before so it was a new experience for me and uh yeah and Dr. Klink helped me out the the availability and access of medical cannabis um has been very helpful oh great that is wonderful and he has been a jewel with us and and on the show and a lot of background information and even though he was sick he volunteered to go to Houston for the floods to help out the Red Cross so we interviewed him on Skype from Houston so even though he was sick he volunteered to go so he yes he's been with us all right an awful lot and like I said he took me to you said to meet you excellent we had to talk to you absolutely so you are nationwide and then what each state or island or whatever you own so it's your company yeah we're a local company and we're the exclusive distributors of kush bottles products yeah so you're a what do you call it an independent contractor or distributor exclusive distributor yeah exclusive distributor of a nationwide bottle right they only right now I think they only have two exclusive distribution deals or maybe three Puerto Rico Hawaii and Alaska well that makes sense yeah um and then for the rest of the uh US they have either territorial sales managers uh that are actually working within the company but we're our own independent company well that that makes sense on those those faraway places man what did the president say about that island in the middle of it they didn't know we didn't know we were part of the United States well listen again thank you so much for coming and after this we will call we will make an appointment for you to come back and tell us what happens at the meeting okay after everything will work smoothly okay thank you again thank you so much for being here and we look forward to seeing you again


Aleppo is the scene of terrible destruction. The noise of clashes and fighting is a common occurrence now since two years and a half. Some hospitals, schools, public facilities have been damaged, affecting everyone's life.  There was one hour electricity on most days. And the lack of electricity and water is affecting mainly hospitals because surgical operations are delayed, incubators do not function and machinery does not work. What I saw is that the health personnel was very busy and really caring for patients from all over Aleppo and beyond. The ICRC is supporting collective kitchen in Aleppo city, providing cooked meals to approximately 30,000 people per day. Tens of thousands of displaced people live in dire conditions in a volatile and fragile security environment. The ICRC and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent are also helping displaced population who are living in unfinished buildings. We have installed sanitation blocks, water storage, tap stands, isolation material around the skeleton structure to protect the displaced people against cold weather, against the wind. And also these displaced people are receiving aid from the Syrian Arab Red Crescent in terms of food and essential household items. The International Committee of the Red Cross and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent have regular and constructive dialogue with the local authorities in Aleppo. The local authorities do recognize and facilitate the impartial and humanitarian work of the ICRC and the SAC. Our continuous dialogue with all sides yielded results and made it possible to reach and assist millions of people in need. Last week, the ICRC and the SAC returned to the cross-line and the SAC volunteers could transfer 11 people who needed specialized medical treatment that they could not get in the eastern part of Aleppo and were transferred with wheelchairs to the western part of Aleppo to a hospital. We have done a lot and we remain very committed to pursue our humanitarian work. Nevertheless, the ICRC and the SAC and all others involved in providing humanitarian and impartial aid must be allowed to do much more and to be able to work in safety. There is still so much more to do in Aleppo and similarly in other areas badly in need of aid in Syria.


Welcome back to my channel, friends. I'm so glad that you're here. Thank you so much for joining me for June Monthly Favorites. I am always the one that goes, I can't believe that June's over, but you know what, June dragged on for me. I don't know why other than we have just been in this quarantine situation and I am one that stays home anyway, so this has been a double stay at home order for me. But anyway, hopefully we can all get back to the normal soon and try to adjust to what our new normal is, right?  Now, I have some absolutely fantastic products that I have been loving this month. Some of them I've just been trying. Some of them I've talked to you guys about a little bit. Some of them I haven't mentioned at all, so we're gonna get right into this and see what I was loving for the month of June. I have a huge basket, you guys. So let's get into this so that we can get through it in such a timely manner that it won't take up half the day. Okay, let's start out with what I have on my eyes today. I actually used two pallets, but I have three to share with you. These are the new ones that came out from ColourPop. I don't know when, but not very long ago. These are the In-A-Trans is this one right here and this one is Miss Bliss. Now, first I'm gonna tell you that they are the plastic packaging with the mirror, which I love, so it's the nine-pan pallets. And I used this row right here over on my eyes today. So I did the pinks over here. I have been using the peaches a lot. My looks have really trended towards very summery colors for the past few months and lightening up my makeup quite a bit. So I've really been enjoying that. And then this one that is In-A-Trans from ColourPop has the pinks and then these are purples right here.  I think what I'm gonna start doing with those is I'm gonna take that pan completely out and pop something else in there from another palette that I may have been getting rid of because I didn't like the total palette, but I'd like to color and just pop another color in there. So I think that maybe is what I'm gonna do. But anyway, I really like both of these for being such bright, cheery, beautiful colors that you can wear on your eyes and it'd just be very wearable, very easy to just pop on one or two colors and then go about your day. But the one thing that I will say is that when I did use those colors right there that I didn't find a dark enough color to be able to put in my outer V. So what I did was I took the Milani Most Love Mats, which, oh my gosh, I love these palettes, you guys. And I promised that I would do a tutorial and I'm still going to. But I went in with this color right here on my outer V, which is kind of just a deepened plum color to go along with the pink. I love the way that the look turned out today. So all three of those palettes I really do love. This is one that is discontinued, you guys. Hop on that train because they are still on Amazon and they actually, some of them still are on the Milani website, but I don't know how long that's gonna be that way. So really like all three of these palettes. And I should have started with skincare, but I didn't. But I am gonna tell you guys what I've been really enjoying and really been appreciating. And that is the Vitamin C serum. This is from Hada Labo and it's the Deluxe Vitamin C serum. And there's a lot in there, you guys. Quite a few ounces in there. And I think that this is a really good Vitamin C serum. I love Hada Labo's products anyway, but I think that this Vitamin C serum is great. It's very essence-like, toner-like. So you're gonna wanna use it as one of your very first steps, which I think is really good. But yeah, it's just one of those ones that I've been loving and using a lot as I get towards summer and I'm outdoors a little bit more. And I want to make sure my face is protected with the antioxidants and I really love this. However, there is a tiny scent in here, you guys. Not, it's just so slight. It really just does smell like a lemon peel, but it's a tiny, tiny scent in there, just so you know that. But I did wanna tell you guys, and you'll see this pop up in another video. This is from Skin Aqua. This is their Super Moisture Essence with an SPF 50 plus and then it has four PA pluses on the end of it. And I have been using the one in the blue, the little blue bottle or the little blue tube like this. Love that stuff for it being a hydrating SPF. But I was feeling like it was getting just a little bit too much as we're transitioning into the hotter months. So I tried this one and I love it. It's really lightweight. It sinks into the skin really easily and really quickly. And it's a pretty big tube. So I haven't been minding putting this on the back of my hands or on my shoulders and kind of really just slathering it in. So really have been enjoying that one as well. And then wanna share with you two primers that I am absolutely in love with right now. This one is from Hard Candy. This is one that has been around a while, but this is the Poor Defense Primer. And it says it's oil-free and silicone-free. So how do you get the blurring effect if it's a silicone-free primer and oil-free? And I don't know. But I do know that it's beautiful across the skin. And I have it on today all over the skin. And I just think it makes such a pretty canvas. And it really does help to blur out my pores really well and really cost-effective. And you can pick that one up at Walmart. Make sure that I link that one for you guys. But I also got the Misha. Love Misha as a brand. They're usually on Amazon. You can't really find them too many other places. Maybe YesStyle, maybe. I'll make sure that I link it for you. But anyway, this is their Illuminating Primer. This one is really a beautiful primer, you guys. This one gives the most beautiful, soft glow on the skin. And it has definitely fragrance. If you've ever tried Misha before, they use fragrance. They're a Korean beauty brand that doesn't mind using fragrance. But hopefully you guys can see a little bit of the sheen. Can you see a little bit of the sheen on that hand? It's just beautiful underneath. Makeup sinks in really well. And yet it has a little bit of a hydrating property to it that I can feel. So I really have been enjoying that. If you are somebody that can't do fragrances, then definitely, you know, steer clear of this one. But I wanted to make sure I told you about it because I just think it gives just the prettiest glow. All right, speaking of glow, there are so many glow products in here, you guys. I'm just like, this is crazy, Melissa. I don't know if you guys remember or not, but I had a glowing tutorial. Glowing tutorial, that sounded weird. I had a video where I was talking about getting a glowing look. And I used Essence Pure Nude Highlighters. This one is Be My Space Light. The other one is Be My Highlight. And I used them on my eyelids. And I had talked about wanting to get this palette from them that had the four different, oops, sorry, that's a mirror. Yes, it does have a nice mirror in it. For $10, okay? I got this palette. It's basically called Pure Nude Highlighter Palette. So it has the four different colors. They are so pretty, you guys. And they are that same consistency, maybe just a little bit softer, which actually lends itself to blending a little bit better. But you have a pink, a gold, a yellow, and kind of a peach color up in there. And I just think it's so, so pretty. And I've been using these a lot across my eyes because this is just brightness.   So if you guys like those other two or you like the Essence Pure Nude Highlighter, I think that you're gonna love this. I fell in love with it. And I've just been keeping it in my makeup bag in case there is a palette where I just don't find a light enough highlighter or a light enough lid color to be able to bring brightness without bringing too much metallic. So I'm in love with that, you guys. Another glow product that I found is the Milani. This is their highlighter duo. And this one is in Supercharged. This is a really beautiful highlighter. And I've been wearing it a lot. Now this side is supposed to be cream. And then this side is supposed to be the powder. Now I will say that the cream doesn't feel much like a cream. What it feels like is a super shock shadow from ColourPop. And so I'll just kinda swatch those right there for you too. I'm the worst swatcher, you guys. But it is so pretty. Those are just some next level beautiful highlights. This one is that is the cream is a super soft and condescent. And then this is more like the Becca highlighters that are the pressed one. It's just a really, really beaming highlighter. So a really glowing highlighter. But I like both of them. And these come in a few different colors. I think three, maybe four colors. So this one is more along the lines of the pink, which is my coloring. But if you like peaches or just the icy colors, they did have a few others of those. Now, I told you guys about Sydney Grace and how much I'm in love with her powder. I picked up the other one, the other powder, which is the, this is supposed to be medium. So let me show you the fair. This is the fair, which is just like a white color, okay? So that is the fair one that I've been using all month. And then this one came a few days ago, which is the medium. And you know what you guys, if I dip into the lids, you know, you kind of turn these over, dip into the lids of both of them and then do my dusting. It is gorgeous. The color is perfect for me. This is a little bit too much of a color for me, but the two together are perfect. But this powder is made of mica and it's absolutely 100% a dupe for the Hourglass Veil Mineral Powder, 100%. So if you guys have been looking for something to try as far as Hourglass goes, but you can't do that. These are only $14 and I think they're fantastic. And they have like two or three times more product in them than the Hourglass one. So Sydney Grace has my vote for the company that I'm exploring right now and then I'm absolutely in love with. If you get the chance to, please try some of her stuff. Now, look at this highlighter. You guys, isn't that gorgeous? Okay, I put this highlighter on underneath my blush before I did my blush and it's still shown through. So pretty. So I need to show you guys this highlighter. She has pressed highlighters and she has just the loose highlighters, but I got the loose one because I thought, well, maybe this would be better for me. And you guys, what is this color by the way? Let me find out, pink lightning. You guys, this is some Beyond Highlighter Highlightness. It is so pretty. Oh, my word. Take a look at that. Oh my gosh. Why is my whole video about June about highlights? I have so many products, but this Sydney Grace one, tons of highlighter in here. This is gonna last you a really long time because all I did was put this on with a fan brush and holy moly, look at the glow. And no texture. It's very, very light, airy. Didn't feel like it settled into my pores, my larger pores that I have. So pretty, you guys. I just, I can't say enough about that. It's just really, really gorgeous. So if you've been looking for something as a mature woman that really loves that glow, but she doesn't want to, look at the finger. Oh my gosh, but she doesn't want to get, you know, too much texture on your face. You might try it because I just, I think they're so beautiful. Okay, I am going to show you several things that I have been absolutely appreciating more and more this month. And I've shown you guys these actually a lot in the month, the LA Girl Pro Conceal. This is my peach corrector from them. I haven't found anything that works as good as this because it has a tendency to grip underneath my eyes but not show up any texture. It's creamy enough to not show any texture. I love that, you guys. My Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyeshadow Primer. This tube has lasted me forever. I mean, I bought this tube before we moved into this house and we moved into this house back last September. This is just going strong. You just need so very little of it. It completely takes out any redness, any veining, anything like that on my eyes, grips my eyeshadow like no other. I can't say enough about that. I did a concealer video this month and fell in love with the Elf Camo Hydrating Concealer. Love this stuff. I think that it performs as good as high end and just Mines and Light Peach, perfect color for me. I can't say enough good about this because it does last on me all day long and just really have been enjoying that. Also these little sticks from Elf that are the multi sticks. These are so great, you guys. They're used as cream blush. I use them as cream blushes. You can also use them as lipstick or an eyeshadow if you want to. But they're so easy to blend. I think those are great. I actually did just order me two others to try. And then I'm gonna talk to you guys about in the summer as I'm darkening up my makeup, I'm buying darker foundations but every single one of them seem to be either way too peach or way too yellow. And this is saving my whole makeup look every single time. It's the LA Girl Mix In Medium in blue. I'm very cool toned.  So that's basically what I'm absolutely loving. And then I know I'm gonna get a lot of you asking what's on my lips today. This is something that I've been enjoying a lot too. This is from Essence and this is their Soft Contouring Lip Liner. This one is in something for gray, sucker for gray, gray, not gray, sorry, sucker for gray. And I love these pencils one because they're very easy to work with. You can smudge them out if you want to. But I love this color because my cool coloring and how I'm always wearing pink on my lips, this is the perfect liner. I can line outside of my lips and kind of fill in just a little bit. And by the time I'm done with this, I feel like I've got a bigger pout. And then I also have from Dose of Colors, I've got this lipstick a long time ago, but I'm in love with it now. And this is the color Parfait and I absolutely love everything about this lipstick. I love the texture, I love the color of it. It is matte, it stays on really well. And I do have a gloss over top of it which is a Fenty Gloss, but I really like this. I got it on Altus 21 Days of Beauty, I don't know, quite a while ago. But I love these lipsticks. I haven't purchased any more of them because this is a perfect color and trying to use up what I have. But this is so pretty on. And it's just a beautiful, beautiful, rosy pink color.  This one is not a setting spray. This is from Fourth Ray Beauty which is ColourPop's sister brand. You can buy this on their website. I don't know if you can get this in Ulta or not yet, but if you can, I'll make sure I link it. This is the Fresh AF.  And this really acts for me a lot like MAC Fix Plus which is the primer spray that you can use. I love that spray for refreshing my face. I love it to spray my sponge when I'm putting on my foundation because it just seems to spread everything just so pretty. And I've been using that in place of my MAC Fix Plus and I love this stuff, you guys. It really is a nice mist. It is not a mist that you would want to use as a setting spray. It is not one that is going to keep your makeup on all day. It just won't do that. But if you're having times during the day when you feel like your face is really dry or your makeup needs refreshed, you can spray this on top of it for sure and get a really freshened look to your makeup. I think this is a great spray and I'm glad I got it. And then two different sprays. Another one from Hard Candy. I kind of rated the Hard Candy Isle at my local Walmart. This one is their Glow Setting Spray. Really like that one. It really is a beautiful, dewy finish. And then the one I have on today is a new one from Maybelline and this is their Glass Spray. And this one just seems to be one that just makes you look like your skin is so glowy and so dewy and just beautiful. But I will tell you that the sprayer on this is crap, you guys, it's terrible. So I'm going to be transferring this into another bottle but I really do like the Glow Spray itself. It just makes you look really pretty and give you kind of a soft candlelight glow to your skin. So I really do like that. I'm going to wrap this up with talking about two high-end mascaras that I got. But look at them guys, these are the little tubes. So I think that one might have been 11 and one might have been 13. I'll make sure I put that on the screen. But one is from Fenty Beauty. I do know that it's 13. And then the other one is from Anastasi Beverly Hills and I have the Fenty on this side and the Anastasi Beverly Hills on this side and we can get close. You guys can see what I love about this one from Fenty Beauty. They both do this but I'll tell you what, I love more about the Fenty one. They both separate the lashes and they give you great volume from the root up. And then you can build on them. You know, you can continue to build on them. But the Fenty, I can build on this even after it's dried. It makes a beautiful eyelash look. I absolutely love this. I love the Anastasia one too but I think the Fenty one kicked its butt because I actually do like this brush just a little bit more. Now, if you look at it right there, it just looks like, you know, typical, I don't know, wide and then tapered brush but it is thinner so you can get into your eyes and kind of, you know, make sure you get those inner ones, make sure you get those outer ones. So I like that. Anastasi Beverly Hills one is very much like all of the other hourglass ones that are on the market right now. It's not anything different. I do like that it's a little bit more of a natural bristle instead of the rubber ones that you get but I do think I like the Fenty one a little bit better than this but either one are really good. I think the Fenty one might last longer. I haven't noticed any smudging or any flaking from either one of them. Both of them, you can't go wrong but the Fenty one seem to just make those lashes fan out so much and it's so easy and they're soft.  It doesn't feel like that. It's really soft because it still feel really soft and so I love in both of those. I'll have them both on at the end of the day when I'm done with my makeup. So that's it for today's video, you guys. I hope that you did enjoy this monthly favorites. I know that I had a lot packed in here and I kind of talked really fast which is kind of what I always do but I hope that you guys did enjoy this. Let me know in the comment section below if there's any of these products that you've tried and that you love or ones that you have tried and you hate. I'd love to know that too, you guys. Thanks so much for being with me today.  Love you, bye guys.

Click the link in the bio, watch the video and apply today. Now while today is just a preview of the full length video if you wanna watch the full length or any of our exclusive content then become a member of MIC. What I'm gonna go over today is can be applied to longs too but most notably this is a short selling small cap strategy that I like to see used. Anyways, so let's get to it. So we're gonna talk about key traders. I honestly didn't do the only trade I made all week was today on CTRM. I'm gonna go over it but like and I count my start of the week because I do my webinars on Thursday I start my week like on Friday and it was just a slow week for me you know but like I didn't wanna force trades just to go over them here. I always feel that pressure that I wanna force some trades to make sure that I have stuff to go over here but like I mean it's just not my style like I'm more of a like Posh said today a two to three trades a week kind of guy that's all I need. I don't need to just keep going. Like that's when I lose money. So anyway we're gonna go over market sentiment trader topics, trader topics slash fallacies that I like to include in there too sometimes. This week we're gonna go over strategy boards strategy that I wanna go over and we're gonna end it with Q&A. So if you guys have any questions if you guys have any questions feel free you get I'm at the end of the screen I'm gonna go over all of the Q&A all of the questions that are in here and I'm gonna go over them one by one. So if you have a question that's pertaining to what I'm talking about at the time you can post it and like if I happen to see I'll go over it if not I'll get to it at the end. Sam, what's up buddy? All right so okay. So CTRM CTRM for me was the first resistance short and I kind of originally when I first when this first came up it was just kind of a trade where can everybody hear me? It was I realized this was over here. CTRM was a trade where the daily line of five was pretty prevalent, right? So I felt like that was kind of what everybody was watching was the $5 line and that's essentially I wanted to treat this as the first resistance short and this is a little bit of what I'm gonna get into the specifics of this kind of mentality at the end of the webinar but I basically covered this like a piker but I was okay with that because for me it was still front side and I was going for the front side cover when it ultimately failed here. So a quick interjection on process and I didn't wanna go over this, right? The following the process is not meant to maximize your profit on any given day. It's supposed to increase profits and consistency in the long run but it's goal is not to ensure gains. Like you don't have a process to the goal of the process is not to create gains, right? That's not a process is job is to make sure that you make money, right? That's, there's one part of the process that's supposed to ensure that and that's the profit taking part of the process but the process as a whole its job is to mitigate risk and to keep you in the game. That's the only job of a process, right? Is to not blow up, right? To keep your mind healthy for tomorrow's because you don't wanna miss out on an opportunity because you're so hungover on your trade on your missed trade or messed up trade or lost from yesterday, right? Your process is designed to keep you following your rules which will keep your mind saying it will keep you in the game long term because one thing that for most traders will develop over time is you will get an experience as the longer you're able to stay in the game but if you don't follow your rules in the beginning I mean you're gone in the first two years like the people that I see on Twitter I can't tell you how many traders are not on Twitter today that were on Twitter when I first started. So today, this week's market sentiment was significantly slower than the last couple of weeks but it's not nearly as bad as in the summer. We're still getting a couple of plays every single week. I happen to miss them this week but or they weren't my place I know a couple of other people got trades but yeah, the main leaders this week like that stayed positive were EDSA, which was today, LCI which is all last week and ABEO which was like I think two days ago but everything else was kind of everything that popped up kind of faded and if you guys have been watching these webinars long enough, you guys will notice that there's always more red tickers than green tickers, right? But the green tickers are always so much stronger than the red tickers. So this is actually a good representation of how small caps work and this is kind of what I'm gonna be going over but this is a good example of how small caps work. It's like with shorting, you're gonna win most of the time, but you're gonna lose big, right? You're gonna lose big on these three names but you're gonna win on all of these names, right? If you're only short and if you're only long, you're going to win on these and lose on all of these.  You need patience to be able to sit through and hold for larger moves because you know that larger moves are possible. And if you're a short seller you just by looking at this market participant like what's red and what's green every single week it should kind of give you a clue that you're gonna win most of your trades but there's the one couple exceptions that you have to watch out for. And depending on whether you're a long or short bias trader you can make money being both, right? But you have to formulate your process in a way to where it adheres to the style of what you're trading. Like if you're a long trader you wanna be gearing, you know, in my opinion when I form my long process I try to gear it towards taking full advantage of the good risk rewards of my trades. And when I'm shorting I'm trying to take full advantage of the probability side of my trades. That's why I'm always so conservative with my covers on shorts, right? But my long trades are always so much bigger, right? That's just what I try to strive for because that's the innate advantages I feel in longs versus shorts that I want to capitalize on. And if you just look at the market by this make it's always a small amount of green and a large amount of red. That's just always the way it works. And I still think we're right here like we were here last week I still think this week and last week we're kind of the same. I do think we're gonna be like I think CTRM was a little bit of a hint today that of what might be to come next week or the day before that it might transition more from a longs can be free to buy to where shorts can feel a little bit more confident in their shorts and things might gap and crap a little bit more often. That's just kind of the direction I see next week. OSN I counted last week. Oh, like, but yeah, OSN was good but I counted that last week. My week is technically I guess for me starting Friday to this Thursday because I don't want to double count content. But yeah, OSN was good. Yeah, but I like back to what I said I do think that we are shifting into maybe like next week or so it might like shorts might have their turn, right? Longs had their turn the last couple of weeks again shorts are gonna have their turn their turn in the next week. So one quick thing I want to get over before I get into the meat of the presentation is why mixing lines is really bad? Like I think I went over this yesterday or this morning it was one of two, but it was something I wanted to go over more. Why mixing lines is really bad and Joe and I have gone touched on this in another webinar but it's basically the reason why it's bad is because you're essentially forcing two trades in one. And what I mean by that is think about any trade you ever take there is always a reason why you're in and the reason why you're in is because if you're buying it you think it's going to go to X from, it's gonna go to Y from X, right? The exit is the reason why you're in because you think it's going to be higher in the future or lower in the future if it's a short, right? The exit is always gonna define the entry, right? There's always like, if you wanna sell at $10 and the stock is at $7, tanking to $5 you don't need to be the guy that buys it at $5 and sells at $10, right?  You see how that works? So depending on where you wanna sell or cover that almost tells you what's the most where it makes the most sense to enter to provide the least amount of stress on yourself, right? But also, so because of that factor if you're trying to combine like one exit with two different entries very rarely does that happen, right? Like if a stock is washing out of the open and your exit that the find you're by right at the open is you thought it was gonna gap and go or something you thought it was gonna gap and just ignite up and go from $7 to $10 well if it starts tanking to $5 and you say, well no, that's good, that's a washout long trade I'm gonna buy that too. What you have to consider is after it's washed out is your goal of 10 really feasible? And very rarely is that kinda gonna happen, right? And then the question then presents itself well if it is gonna go to 10 you can wait for it to get back up to seven before you enter and risk the fact that one you might be wrong and it might just go back to three.  So just taking those two factors into consideration. So this is what I wanna talk about. This is the strategy I use to get that has led me the most consistency when it comes to shorting and longing but it's especially short selling in general short selling small caps. I'm gonna call it the powerful pair and the powerful pair is the basic part of the strategy is that you need to start late and you need to start slow. This is the most consistent way I've found to short selling small caps, right? And so I'm gonna go into it. Most traders are gonna flock to one and you're probably gonna find that you do one of these in your trading but not both. And so like you'll try one of them and it will kind of work but not consistently and then what you'll do is you'll try the other one and it will kind of work but not consistently and you'll never ever try both, right? You'll never ever start late and start slow. And the reason why no one ever does both is because they're greedy. I mean, it took me a while to figure this out too. Like it's because traders are greedy and if you remember what I talked about in last webinar greed and the inability to be grateful for gains is in my opinion, the one reason why traders fail is because they can't mentally win in their brain and they just go down this down. So this is what we talked about in last webinar. So really it was I think one of my favorites. So if you haven't seen it, make sure you go see that one. But yeah, not being grateful for your gains, right? Because you always want more, right? So most people either start late or start slow but never both. So and in my experience in backtesting one never cuts the juice, right?  Individually they can work but your odds are lower if you're not exceptionally anal about being like particular and selective with your trades. So I'm gonna define them here, right? So starting late, what I mean by starting late is starting after everybody else, right? And I mean starting like making sure that you start after everybody else. Meaning like if you have a line here, right? If there's a line here at eight, you know people think that it's not gonna get there and people are basically shorting before six, they're shorting before, you know, you're shorting at five, they're shorting at six, they're shorting at seven, right? But there's a clear line here at eight and this is the most outer line, right? It's like seven, 75 or eight, right? Starting late to me means starting at the outer lines, right? Not scaling into the outer line, which is what most people do because nobody wants to be, these are the people who start scaling before the outer lines are the people who have FOMO and they don't want to risk missing the move. They don't wanna risk missing whatever move is out there currently. They feel like if it goes down without them, they're gonna lose money, if they're losing opportunity, they're gonna feel really bad if they miss it, right? So most will start in on inner and build into outer and this has some credence, like this will work a lot of the times, right? But what tends to happen is people will start at inner lines and build into outer lines and when you get to the outer lines, you're nervous, right? So I'm gonna define starting slow.  You ever change, remove your entries for the fantasy or based on price action? As a general rule, no, but if it's something really crazy, you bet your ass, like something like OPGN, like if I had an idea, like it depends, if the price action, from the time I set the order there, if the price action is trading a certain way, but all of a sudden it starts to trade a different way, like the ass, all of a sudden it starts getting really thin, really choppy or really, really, or it starts halting or really starts getting exponential, I might consider being like, you know what, F this trade. I may be not, I might not move it, I might, I'm more likely to just be like F this trade, right? It's, I'm not really, I'm really gonna change the order and say like, oh, well, maybe a little bit higher because now that's just me being afraid. That's not me trusting my lines and that's not me, and that's me trying to be afraid. And if you move the order, now you're gonna regret it. If it goes to that order, stops and comes down, it's much better to just have the order in there and stop out. If you're not wrong, that'll save your sanity and be like, okay, the trade didn't work and I pre-planned the risk and it worked out or it didn't. When, more likely than not, I'm just gonna be like, you know what, I don't like this anymore. Like I am no longer, this is not me, I'm not gonna tackle this.   Now that wasn't in the original cards, right? It wasn't supposed to already take and then come back up to my line on some renewed strength, right? That, you know, like that might change my thesis a little bit, but as a general rule, I'm not changing the order because that just, you're normally just changing it in fear and what's to stop you from changing it on like your second, like if you'll change it the first time, why won't you change it the second time? It's just fear that's making you change it. And if you're afraid now, what makes you won't be afraid later? You gotta trust yourself a little bit, right? I'll only remove the order if I feel my thesis is invalid. Good question, very good question. I may have missed this, but do you add after the trade starts working? And if you do, where do you add? So I didn't go over that in this webinar, but I have in others. So my rule on ads is I only like to add when I can lower my risk. So like, I only add if I can lower, so let's say I was short here. Let's say I shorted into Edson, right? Here at 7.25, and my risk is eight, right? This is now my risk. Now when it tanks over here, I might consider an ad over here, but I'm only going to add if I feel comfortable moving my risk down to 7.40. So that's my general rule of thumb is I only add when I can... I only add when I can feel comfortable moving my risk down, not moving my risk down because I added. Make sure that they don't flip, like you're moving your risk down because you added. Like only when there's like a level that kind of makes sense to move your risk down, that's when I like to add. Another rule of thumb is if I wasn't in the stock and I wanted to get in, where might I get in and risk a certain level? And it's the same thought process, right? That's now the risk of that trade. So essentially I only add when I'm trading two trades at once. Like I still have this trade risking this trade, but now I have this trade risking here, but I'm also just moving this risk up to here because I think this will invalidate both pieces. So I only add when I can lower risk and this also works when I talk about involved risk. Like sometimes, and it's a more advanced technique is when like you always have an ultimate stop, but I don't often wanna take my ultimate stop, I will, but I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. And I'm typically really small in, you know, if that, so that if that does happen, I'm not gonna be hating myself tomorrow, but when I have an ultimate stop, but I know I wanna be in because I feel like this action is not sustainable. I have an ultimate stop, of course, but I'm waiting for some price. I'm waiting for the action to evolve to where I feel comfortable adding some size and using that the risk. Now I have identified the risk or essentially moved the risk down from the ultimate to now my preferred stop I'm gonna use. Hey traders, this is Tosh.

Johnny, how are you? Who's that, Ted? That's right, Ted Orlov, Los Angeles. Well, how are you, Ted? What goes with you these days? Problems. Haven't we all? Here is a fire, Johnny, that have been costing less than a deputy a heap of dough. Suspect arson? Suspect? I'm sure of it. But, Johnny, somebody's gotta prove it. Prove I'm right. Can you make it? Sure, Ted. Why not?  Welcome to the Action Practic Expense Account, America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator, yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, the western indemnity company of Los Angeles office. Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the all too easy matter. Shortly after Dom cracked the next morning, I drove to the airport and spent item one, $20.20 clean fare for a 930 jet out of New York. I went to the Los Angeles International just 10 minutes before noon Pacific time. Item two, six and a half bucks into the office of western indemnity. As I started through the front door of the building, a man rushing out bumped into me. Oh, sorry, Mr. Blemner. Hey, hey, Ted. Ted, Ted, what's the hurry? Listen, I'm glad you're here. Come on, my car's right around the corner. Come on, anything you say, but what's the big emergency? Another one, Johnny. Another one of these fires I called you about. That'll be number six, Johnny, six in a row.  If that doesn't lower the insurance we're going to have to pay, if only I didn't know there were going to be more of them. What do you mean you know? I mean, that firebug will start exactly 15 more of them before he's through if somebody doesn't stop him. You seem to know an awful lot about him. You bet I do plenty. Except for his next method and where he's going to strike next. Oh, wait a minute. Ted, where's the arson squad and all this? Yeah, where? You know your fire department out here is one of the best in the country? And if it is, I'm sure it is. They agree it is. But in spite of all I tell them, they refuse to grab the guy. Who's doing it?  I sure do, guys. Who is it?  Nothing for us here until it cools off. Good. Let's go something where I can get a drink. Boy, I can use it. Look, Ted, tell me, who benefit? Okay. Listen, his client of ours. His name is Alpheus Brockway-Brocks. Yep. Widower, 82 years of age. Lives on Techway Drive in Beverly Hills. Mm-hmm. Doctor says he has only a couple of years to go at the most. Heart condition, huh? But he doesn't look at Johnny. If I look as good as that when I'm 60, I'll be mighty thankful. What about him, Ted?  A playboy in space. But by the time his beautiful young wife died, he had to quit all that because of his age and his heart. Mm-hmm. Well, the old boy had just about had and done everything. And of course, he'd gone to a stack of dough. I should think so. But he was apparently content to settle back and take it easy. He lived this simple life and just to live out the end of his age. He had no responsibilities. His only child, really a stepdaughter, had got married, followed by the name of Ben Plater in the import-export business.  You mean he's broke now? Well, he isn't rolling in dough the way he used to, but he isn't broke because his old man who had worked for a living had been smart enough way back to buy up all the property he could let go of his hand on here in L.A. Ah, I see. But now all he has left is a little bit here and a little bit there, and I know what's turned out to be pretty poor defections of town. Mm-hmm. An old broken-down frame off on South Dakota Darrow Street remains of a creepy-pea loft building on some land that won't be redeveloped for another 10 years and so on. So what happened? Go ahead, you tell me. Taxes higher and higher every year on this land of his. No. So he has to get up the dough for them every year. Oh, naturally. He still has insurance on the worthless old buildings on that land. Mm-hmm. So you figure that old Alpheus Brunston is eating his cake and having a tomb right now, you're with me. He burned down a worthless old building that would have cost him money to wreck. Mm-hmm. He collects a big hunk of insurance from me, and he still has the valuable part, the land. Oh, boy, what a racket. Well, maybe so. Sure. Well, let's go back to the office and I'll, uh, what's the matter? I don't know, Tim. But it has to be that way. It's the only thing that makes any sense. Brunston is burning down those buildings, and he's not only costing the company a fortune, but making a bunch of suckers of it. I wonder. Wonder? Isn't it obvious? Maybe it's too obvious. Makes the answer seem all too easy. Oh, now, Johnny, the law. Yes, sir. Just a little too easy. But we'll see. When you have to stay alert, don't let drowsiness fool you. Per cop. Per cop with no dollars. The safe way to stay alert without harmful stimulants. Remember, when you're driving, working, studying, and monotony makes you feel drowsy. Per cop. Per cop with no dollars. No dollars. Properties that haven't gone up in flames. Not yet. Not until he gets to them. Now, look, Ted, if you're so sure that Brunston is setting those fires, have you forgotten that favorite saying of yours? I don't know. Have I? Que bono. Who benefits? Well, Althea's Brockway Brockson is the only one who has benefits, and the only one who will benefit when the rest of his properties burn. Now, I guess you have a point there, Ted, but if the fire department arson squad can't pin it on him, they simply refuse to look at the obvious. And you listen, John. That's all I am doing.  Well, haven't I heard you say, and more than once, that the obvious makes the best cover-up of all? Perhaps. On occasion? Well, it's true now. The police, the fire department say, oh, no. A crook would never be so dumb as to leave a clue or evidence or a motive right out in the open. So it has to be somebody else, they say. It simply can't be poor, dear, sweet old Mr. Brockson. It has to be somebody without a motive, somebody all the sufficient dozens point to. You sure that's their reasoning? Well, I say they're wrong. And what about Brockson's age? 82, did you say? Okay, so perhaps he has somebody else do it for him. Is there any difference? Aren't there bound to be plenty of pros in a town like this? Ted, whether you realize that or not, the arson boys know the pros, all of them, and they usually keep pretty close hands on them. Usually, huh? Well, they haven't done it this time. So, Johnny, you've got to work on it. Okay? Okay. Okay, Ted. Oh, excuse me. Sure. All of them. Oh, hello, Commissioner. Huh? Oh, no. Where? Okay, then you listen up. I know, I know, but now listen. You know what I've done?  Yeah, Johnny Dollar. Huh? Well, yeah, I guess so. Hey, Johnny. Oh, yes, and? Another fire, Johnny. Another one of Brockson's building. That's two in one day, and now he wants to talk to you. Who, Brockson? No, Fred Klein. Fred Klein? Yeah, he's a firehead. Oh, I know. Here, let me have the phone. Here. Fred, how are you? Pretty good, Johnny. You're just the man I want to see. I kind of thought you might. Tell me where and when. For you, Johnny, right now, if you like. Good, where? 17 South Hill. Now, I'm on my way. You're going to see him, Johnny? Yes, sir. Then get him working on this thing from the right angle. And I know that you can do it, Johnny. That you can prove to him that I'm right about his old alpine speed. Yeah? We'll see.  No, Johnny. All our feelings on the matter don't bother me a bit. A lot of people don't think too much of this until they see the results of our work. I know. Luckily, knock on wood. We usually do manage to get some results. Luckily, hmm? What? Fred, in my book, it takes a lot of hard work to get lucky. And in a department like yours, I'd say a lot of ability, too. But now, what about the stubborn notion of Ted Orloff? In the beginning, we were inclined to think the same way he does. Until we really ended things. And now? I don't see a sproxed and a little 82-year-old man with a heart condition, wouldn't stand any kind of excitement. We'll talk to him, Johnny. And I think he should, by the way. Yes, I want to. And see if you come up with the same idea that we have, that he's hiring a pro. His six fires, seven as of now, have not been set by a profession. You're sure of that? I'd stake the reputation of this old apartment on it. Why? A pro has a pattern, Johnny. Almost invariably and easily identifiable, notice how kind they are. I may not realize it, but it's their... their trademarks that enable us to nail so many of them. Yes, I know. What's more, we have fires on those boys that are so complete that, well, we're like an expert dry fly fisherman. He's always set to strike just before the trout hits the fly. Exactly. And I take it these fires don't fit the pattern of any known arsonist. They don't fit any pattern. We believe they're all the work of an amateur. Yeah. He tries one method here and another there and so on. The same amateur? Only because of the frequency and regularity. All men rock some properties and hit. Seven in less than six weeks. That would seem to indicate at least that he's in backup, wouldn't it? What? Don't say him, Johnny. I will. And who knows? Maybe you'll come up with the same idea we're working on. Which is what? Talk to me. Then we'll compare and know. And remember one thing. Yeah? In spite of its inadequate size, the arson squad is my pride and joy. Eleven of the best men in the country. But only eleven of them.  We do have other fires, you know.  I'll go say bye. Right. I drove out to South Pecway Drive and talked with Mr. Roxton. Fred Klein was right. That old man would have been utterly incapable of setting those fires. The excitement alone would have killed him in a minute. What's more, although he was no longer wealthy, he was perfectly content to live out the rest of his days taking care of his modest little house. Motive? Absolutely none. He didn't care about accumulating money to lead to his stepdaughter Lois and her husband. They were grown up and able to take care of themselves. He didn't see much of them. They'd never been to him for help of any kind. And they'd assured him they were getting along just fine. So on the strength of that one brief conversation with him, by the time I thanked him, unless I was completely convinced of his innocence, but then, a few blocks away, it suddenly hit me. A couple of things. I had Orlov's reminder of my own words. To Ibono, who benefits. And the old man's insurance policy in the state. The same idea Fred Klein said that he didn't. Maybe. Maybe not. But it was certainly worth following up. It meant all cigarettes. The right amount of menthol. Just a hint of cool, refreshing mint. That's the thing about Newport. That's the combination that makes Newport more refreshing to begin with. More refreshing all the way. Just enough menthol to make Newport so refreshing while you're smoking. Without hiding the rich taste of great tobaccos. That's the word. I am Newport. That's the kind of item for a dime for a phone call to Mr. Broxton. I want a call on them. Just give me the address, please, Mr. Broxton. All right. Good. Thank you. Well, now just a minute, Mr. Dollar. Thank you very much. Imitation leather portfolio. Plus a dollar for some gold lettering on it that said, Federal Housing and Occupation Survey. Then I'd rule to the San Fernando Valley to Sherman Oaks. To another modest little home. A rather poorer sort of home is more like it, because of the neglected shows both inside and out. And the woman who met me at the door, well, she was young and good looking, cheerful, well spoken, but there was something about her that belied not only what I'd heard, but what she told me.  You're not to pardon my looking this way, but I just got home from work. Oh, that's perfectly all right. Federal Housing and Occupation Survey. Another big government investigation? Well, it's just a kind of general survey. Oh, I see. Why, do you have to pick on us? Us? Yes. Oh, you're married then? Oh, yes. My husband's name has been played here. And I'm lowest played in this year. Dollar, did you say? That's right. Won't you get down, Mr. Dollar? Oh, I'm sorry. I guess this pacing of mine is just kind of a nervous habit. I hope you don't mind. Oh, not at all. Well, now, what can I tell you? You say you go to work? Oh, just to fill in time, you know. I'm the type that's over there, Dad. Oh, I see. In your husband, does he work? Oh, yes. He's in the import-export business. Oh, and his office address? Well, that's his little office right behind that door. Oh, I see. But he isn't here now, is he? No, no. He left for Mexico, where he has a lot of business contacts. And when did he leave, Mrs. Clayton? Yesterday. Yesterday morning. Now, what have you been doing? Oh, there's a big sort of cement machine that's used in building work, and it's made by Central Corporation over in East Los Angeles. And then there's sort of a crane that goes on a truck, so we can put some timber in. I see. And an air conditioner that's made over in Long Beach, and some Japanese transistor walkie-talkies. Oh, first of all. Oh, that's some of the literature on that desk beside you. Yes, I see. Well, would you say he's pretty successful at it? Oh, yes, very. Good. All right, I suppose I look around the house. All right. And we'll start with his office. Oh, oh, dear, I'm sorry. Sorry? Well, he always keeps it locked, and he gets the only key with him. Oh, well, that's all right. We'll skip it for now. The house of a success, who is? Highly. And among the papers on the desk I've glimpsed a reposition notice for their TV set. So as soon as I made a cursor inspection of the rest of the house I left and drove to the nearest gas station and ran up item six, $1.30 on two phone calls. The first was to the head of the Central Corporation that she mentioned over in East LA. Now, don't mention Ben Plates. Leave her out here, Mr. Dollar. Oh, why not, sir? Oh, he's been in trouble for us. Expense. Sure, or he had a working arrangement with us until we got wise to him. All those phone declines that have a lot of big deals pending down in Mexico. Well, only. Well, I think he's just a lazy, good-for-nothing. Look, over the phone is no good. But if you want to drop in here with the dollar... No, no, thanks. I don't think it'll be necessary. The information from the air conditioner off from Long Beach was virtually the same. Then I dropped in at the State Employment Office near where they lived. And there I learned Plater had had something like a dozen jobs in the last five years. Had held each one of them just long enough to get fired, then collect unemployment insurance and some disability insurance as well. All right, tie that in with the fact that old man Broxton didn't have long to live. And sure, it all tied in. I put him to call the Fred Klein, then drove back to the house, and there... Oh, Mr. Dollar. I'm afraid I didn't really finish my job. Hear me out again? Oh, of course. I was just fixing myself to do it. But I'm pretty sure he'd like to say it. Oh, well, thank you. But all I wanted to look at your husband's office. All I told you, Mr. Dollar, it's all locked out. Well, then I'm going to have to break my way in, won't I? What? Really? Well, without a warrant or something? Well, I mean, the fly. Just stand aside, Mr. Slater. Mr. Dollar! Please stand aside. No! What I found in that room after turning on the lights? Long strips of piracin tape, handles, cans of solvent, and gasoline. Even a couple of crude timing devices made to set off ablaze. I'd been right. Then Clayter was behind the fires. And the reason? They had every possible dollar to the old man's bank account before he died and left it to Lois. And there was all the evidence I could need. The case was closed. Almost. Okay, Dollar, don't move. Then Clayter... I said don't move. Don't! It's a gun! You see, have one, Lois. Here it is. Just hang on to it. You made a bad mistake giving Lois your right name, Dollar. I guess my big mistake is believing you might really be in Mexico. But don't you think you're making one now? Do you think I didn't know all about you? Didn't figure something was up when you came here before.  It doesn't give me much of a choice, does it? Nice fellow you married to. Lois, now it's gonna be a killer. Ben! This is it, Dollar. No, no, Ben! No, no, you can't! Who said I can't?  Because of the money they'd get it, but not this. This is me! It's him or me, isn't it? No, no, no!  Look then, look at me! Look, I have his gun! Put that thing down and get away.  Oh, wait, you won't stop me? No! I'll stop you! Fred, I think so. I suspected you might lead us to something. That looks like you have, doesn't it? I think so, Commissioner. Ben and Lois Platter. I think they're through playing with the fire. And I hope the shock of it all isn't too much for old Mr. Braxton.

Oh, what's up internet? Nandyan ka pala, di kita nakita, daki nung monitor ko eh. Actually, hindi siya monitor, TV siya. Yung usual setup ko kasi, tatlong monitor, isang 27 inch, dalawang 24 inch, tapos siya isang 24 inch na ka-portrait mode. Na-isip ko, pwede gawa palitan lahat ng tatlong monitor na yun, tapos isang malaking TV lang gagamitin ko. TV SPC display, good idea ba yun? Let's find out. Pero yung una kung kailangan gawin for this experiment is to activate windows. Ang pangat kasi na watermark na yun for unactivated windows, tapos kung 49 inches yung TV ko, sobrang laki na watermark na yun. I've recently been playing Halo Master Chief Edition and kahit dun may windows watermark. Thanks Microsoft. Yung go-to natin provider for windows activation keys is CD-key offer and they have an ongoing Mother's Day sale now. Links to the Windows 10 activation key are in the video description. Go to the product page, add to cart. Atin-atin lang pero may discount code kami, HS20. Pop in the code, get the discount. Usual payment options, personally gamit ko PayPal dito. Once payment is made, you can access the code through your dashboard. Pop in the code, go to activate windows on your desktop and paste the code. Wala pang 5 minutes, finished. May legit, working CD-key ka na. If you need Microsoft Office, meronin sila at gabagana rin yung code namin to get the discount. Now that windows is activated, ano ba yung mga advantages to using a TV for a monitor? Yung una, kahit anong TV, pwede mo gamitin. Itong TV nga na to, 49 inches LG, 8 years old na to. May discoloration nga with the pixels in the center. They're too white, dino sila nagwabago ng kulay. TVs are also usually cheaper than monitors so you get a lot more screen space for your buck. Kung size lang habul mo, mas cost efficient yung TV. Pero ba bala, pang work lang to. For gaming, you really do want to still have a good monitor kasi kailangan mo nung fast refresh rate and high resolutions. Features which a lot of TVs still don't have. Using a TV as my primary display seemed like a good idea, pero mga bilis ko natuklasan na medyo bad idea pala siya. Una, mahirap makahanap ng puesto para sa TV. Yung mga computer spaces natin, usually naka-design yung for smaller monitors in mind. Pero kung di kaya makapasok nung malaking TV, baka ito ba tayo nag TV, diba? Nag monitor na lang sana tayo. I was able to finally make room for this 49 inches, pero hindi talaga siya practical. Plus, takot pa ako na bumagsak o makulog to kasi wala nang support dito sa likod. Kung big lang na sagito, or big lang na kalindol, bye-bye old TV. Pangalawa, 1080p yung resolution ng TV na to, which isn't enough screen real estate to have all of the windows that I need. Yung minimum na kailang ko, at least 3 windows. Browser, chat, and document. Kitang kita dito na sobrang squish na sila. You need at least 2K to have those kind of things on screen na workable na magagamit mo, na makita mo at the same time nandun silang lahat. 1080p just doesn't cut it. And yes, TVs now do of course have higher resolutions. 4K, 8K. Pero yung goal ko sana dito, gumamit ng Luma a cheaper budget alternative kung baga. Pero it just isn't cutting it. Di ko magamit yung screen like this. What did I learn from this low? Number one, super easy to connect a TV to a computer. Windows basically treats it like any other display. Number two, nung natakot ako na masyadang malapit yung screen sa muka ko. 49 inches is a lot of screen to have so close to my face. Ginamit ko talaga to as my primary display para makita ko kung viable option talaga siya. And pretty quickly, I found out na kaya naman na sasanay ka na sobrang lapit niya. After a certain point di ko nga na isip na masyadong malapit siya. Number three, it works great as a secondary monitor. Kaya kailangan ko pa lumingon para makita siya. Useful naman siya. And it's so useful, in fact, that I've kept it like this. So nakaapat na ako na displays kaya yun. Yung tatlong monitors ko, and then yung isong TV. The big space does allow you a certain freedom. It's nice to read your emails, your articles, your essays on it. Plus nag-agamit ko rin naman sa work. So puwede naman yung TV as a secondary display. Optimal setup ko sana, yung TV kasama pero nandito sa likod. So kita ko yung primary display ko, tapos liling nung lang sa taas, makita ko na yung TV. Unfortunately, not possible yet in my current setup. I do set up again the home office in the future. I'll really think about putting that as an option. TFW. And thank you to our top fans.
