Welcome back to my channel and welcome if you're new here. I am so excited for today's video I'm going to be sharing with you a one-month update since I transitioned over to a clean eating We're gonna talk about the expectations versus the reality of moving over to clean eating some of the positive things I've noticed some of the things that I was kind of surprised by that could be maybe negative or just things that I just Wasn't expecting so that expectation versus the reality of being a clean eater What that means to me over the last month? So I'm going to share with you everything that I've learned the good the bad the ugly of clean eating So if you want to hear my update as well as my total weight loss since switching over to clean eating stay tuned What made me decide to switch over to clean eating I've been getting this question a lot on my videos I did actually do an entire video called I need a change where I talked about my reasoning for wanting to not only switch WW programs but switch over to a clean eating approach to WW so I am going to link that video down in the description box for you guys I think that that's the best one for you to watch to really get a feel for my Reasoning behind switching over from green to blue on WW and switching over to clean eating But in a nutshell the reason that I chose to switch programs was I was finding that my choices on the green program Weren't the best choices. I wasn't reaching for a two-smart point egg for breakfast I was reaching for a two-smart point pancake or something sweet or something carby Versus reaching for good whole foods that actually cost points on the green plan You know, you do have to count for things such as chicken and eggs and when I was on the green plan I was picking other sources of food such as Carbs or maybe a red meat versus a lean chicken So I found myself not reaching for the best food choices for my points in addition to that I found that I was eating a lot more sugary processed foods I wasn't feeling my best my energy wasn't where it should be my workouts weren't where they should be So just all of that coupled with doing a lot of research on what clean eating is and the benefits of eating a whole Real food diet for your body I decided that it was time for me to take the plunge and that happened about one month ago So it wasn't very long ago that I switched over to clean eating But let me just tell you a lot has changed in that month So I'm here to share with you what those changes are also before we jump into that I want to talk a little bit about what is clean eating Essentially the definition of clean eating is eating foods in their most natural state So instead of eating strawberries sweetened with sugar you're eating strawberries And instead of eating grains that are processed like white bread white flour cracker cereal you're choosing Grains in their more natural form sprouted English muffins sprouted bread rolled oats that type of thing If you want to know a little bit more about clean eating You can definitely watch my clean eating 101 video where I talked about the dirty dozen and the clean 15 And I recommend that you do a little bit of your own research I am not a nutritionist a doctor an expert What I'm sharing with you is my personal opinion as well as research that I have done in my take on that research So again, I recommend that you do some research for yourself Before making any major changes in any type of eating or diet plan Also, it's recommended that you do consult your physician as well before making any changes in your eating So let's jump in to clean eating expectations versus reality one Extremely positive thing that I have noticed from switching over to regular eating American diet to switching over to a more whole food clean eating is my energy you guys my energy is through the Roof my workouts have never been better I took a pre-workout prior to switching over to clean eating to make it through my workout now I take that pre-workout and my workout is so good. It's so intense. I'm burning more calories. I'm less fatigued during my workout I feel like I'm getting an overall better experience in my exercise not to mention exercise But just my day-to-day living I have more energy to do the things that I need to get done during the day cleaning my house doing my laundry running My errands cooking my meals spending time with my husband and my dogs I'm noticing that my energy level has increased so much and this was instant Within just a few days of switching my diet from a more processed diet to a clean food or clean approach diet I immediately noticed that big increase in my energy and that is one thing that I am so grateful for Making this transition is just having more energy feeling better needing less sleep and actually speaking of sleep Let's talk about sleep. That is another huge thing that I've noticed that has been a benefit of switching over to clean eating I am falling asleep a lot faster. I am still taking a gummy type of sleep vitamin But to be honest with you I'm going to try this next week not taking that because I am finding that by the end of the day. I am tired I'm ready for sleep. I am falling asleep faster and more importantly. I am staying asleep all night I used to wake up several times throughout the night and then have a really really hard time getting back to sleep And I don't have that anymore since I transitioned over to clean eating I am sleeping so much better so much harder more soundly And I am waking up the next day feeling so much more rested And I think it's because the food that I'm putting into my body My body one knows what to do with and how to process it and it's using that food for energy So I am energetic throughout the day But then once my body has processed those foods that I've eaten throughout the day It is winding down It is putting my body into a sleep state where I am tired And I'm able to fall asleep and get a really good night sleep I couldn't be more thankful for that those two things alone energy and sleep are One of our the reasons that I'm going to continue on clean eating without any other types of Results or reality of clean eating just better sleep and more energy has been huge now This might be TMI for a few of you But I have noticed also since moving from processed food to clean eating that I am much more regular And I know that one of the side effects from transitioning over to WW or really any type of major change in your diet You are going to notice that you're not as regular you sometimes have to take Medication to help move things along a little bit more freely in your body But I am so much more regular since switching over to clean eating I can count it by the clock like I know When all that is gonna happen when things are gonna move and shift in my body and that is amazing to me It is like clockwork now where before it was hit and miss I wasn't as regular at all like I am now and I feel like when I am moving things through my body It's moving at a normal rate and it's coming out looking as it should and I apologize in advance for TMI But you guys know I'm always honest and transparent with you And it's important for me to share and be transparent with you on these updates from clean eating And that is one thing that I've really really noticed and I'm thankful for that I feel definitely definitely less bloated my stomach feels flatter and more tone It's amazing just that little bit of shifting the foods that you're eating over to foods that your body knows what to do With can make you feel so much better less bloated and much more regular now one thing that I expected Switching over to clean eating that is not a reality is my grocery bill A lot of you have been asking me if I'm noticing a substantial increase in my grocery bill because of buying Organic fruits and vegetables pretty much organic food in general grass-fed dairy grass-fed beef And I expected quite a big increase in my grocery bill to be honest with you when I did switch over to clean eating And on that same note I was okay with that increase in my grocery bill because I know that the food I'm putting in my body is good for my body in my body knows how to process that food and turn it into energy and Into a fat burning machine, so I was okay with that But to be honest, I have not noticed much of an increase in my grocery bill now Yes, there's a little bit a little bit of an increase because Regular conventional strawberries versus organic strawberries is a little bit of a difference But you guys what's crazy is that difference is sense in very rarely dollars So you'll notice that the sense between non-organic and organic food is a little bit different now That isn't for everything I noticed that the salad dressings that I'm buying are about a dollar or so more expensive than regular salad dressing also a lot of the Flowers that I'm purchasing because I've leaned more towards nut flowers almond flower coconut flower those types of things They are a little bit more expensive than your regular white or enriched flower But again, I'm not seeing a huge increase in my grocery bill on average I would say that my grocery bill has increased anywhere from 10 to 20 dollars a week So not bad and again considering that I'm seeing a much better difference in my energy in my sleep My regularity my workouts and just my body feels so much better eating these foods There's no dollar amount that could take that feeling away from me And even if it was double that or triple that I would still be okay eating clean Organic whole food a never huge benefit of switching to clean eating is I feel much more full Satiated with my meals if you notice in my what I eat in a day I really don't eat a morning snack anymore prior to switching over to clean eating I always had breakfast a morning snack lunch an afternoon snack dinner and dessert and with clean eating and eating whole food I'm not hungry between breakfast and lunch So it's very very rare that I will have a morning snack now, which is great It just saves those points for me to have whole real food with my main meals my breakfast my lunches and my dinners Now as far as snacking goes I am generally still having an afternoon snack I've really been enjoying smoothies and I did have a smoothie video come out recently where I shared with you six Clean eating smoothies and I will link that video down below for you guys as well But I've really been enjoying having a smoothie in the afternoon I feel like it's a great way to get in some leafy greens some fruits And it just kind of gives my body that little bit of energy that I need to make it through the rest of my day Now on a caveat to that if I am doing jazzer size in the mornings Then I am generally hungry between breakfast and lunch and I am having a snack So I'm not having to have as many snacks throughout the day Which allows me to save my points for my meals and that's another huge question that I've been getting is how the heck? Am I supposed to eat clean on the minimum number of smart points 23 30 or 16? There's no way that I have enough points in the day to eat almond butter or full fat cheese or full fat dairy And I'll tell you guys honestly since transitioning over to clean food and not having to have as many snacks throughout the day I'm not spending my points on snacks and junk food and processed food So it's giving me those points back in my smart point bank to use on real whole food So I don't feel bad spending seven to ten points for breakfast because I'm having my sprouted English muffin with a tablespoon of nut butter Because I'm not hungry between breakfast and lunch So I don't have to spend three four five whatever points you're spending on snacks throughout the day You can save those points for real whole food and that is really a huge epiphany that I had since switching over to clean eating I literally can go between meals and not have to have a snack therefore I'm not spending points on snacks and speaking of points I did do a video recently where I did a full day of eating where I shared with you guys Exactly what I ate throughout the day that was well within the minimum number of smart points for blue purple and green And I am definitely linking that video for you guys you have to check it out I share with you exactly what I eat and I give you the points for all of my meals and my Ending points for the day and you will see that I was able to stay within the minimum number of smart points and still choose Whole real food. Let's jump into points now That is another thing that I was a little bit worried about switching over to clean eating is how the heck Am I going to eat all of the whole real food that I want to eat and stay within my points And I am given more than the minimum number of points and that was still a concern for me So what I have been doing is taking my points that I'm allowed for the day And I'm dividing that up into points for breakfast points for lunch points for dinner And then I'm also taking some points for one snack per day as well as a dessert or a sweet treat during the day And that way I kind of already have it in my mind How many points I have in the bank for all of my meals my snacks and my dessert and that's been a huge game changer for me Switching over to clean food is I know kind of what I'm allowed per meal and I work whatever whole real food I want into those meals and one huge tip for you guys Switching to clean eating is incorporate those zero point foods If you haven't noticed no matter what plan you're on blue green purple the zero point foods are clean foods They're whole foods in their natural state.   It's whole food It's gonna give my body what it needs to make it through the rest of my day and to satiate me between meals Another expectation that I had that is absolutely not reality is I'm gonna have a hard time finding food That tastes good that I want to eat. What about snacks? What about dessert? I could not believe how many snack foods dessert foods breads even chips and dips that are out there that are made from whole real food It was insane to me I had so much fun at the grocery store just going through all of the aisles Looking at all of the healthy options reading the ingredient labels Seeing if what was in there was whole real food and I was literally flabbergasted with how many options I had I don't think I'm ever gonna be able to try everything that's out there. That is good whole food I did want to let you guys know about a website that I recently found that I am in love with and that is the thrive Marketplace now the thrive market has thousands of products not just food, but household kids Cleaning supplies laundry supplies literally everything and anything you could ever desire. That's clean sustainable good for the environment There's so many great whole food options on that website snacks that I've never seen Bread treats that I've never seen that have excellent ingredients and their prices are out of this world So I am really focusing on ordering from thrive at least once a week And that's where the majority of my healthy food is coming from when it comes to non-perishable foods Now thrive doesn't sell things such as eggs and cheese. They do have grass-fed meat that you can purchase I do find it to be a little bit pricey So I've been looking more locally for that but any of your non-perishable foods thrive has a fantastic price on those They do have a promotion right now where if you join thrive and sign up for a membership I joined for a year because it's literally $5 a month They give you $20 worth of free product of your choice and with every order you place you get free goodies that they just throw in Your box as well as free shipping So how do you recommend thrive? I'll link the link down below in the description box for you guys For the $20 off, but I've been loving thrive and I have found an abundance of a really good clean eating food In fact, I am doing a snacks video where I'm going to show you everything and anything snack related That is considered good whole foods. So stay tuned for that video as well also calories This is something that became a little bit of a concern to me when I did transition over from processed food to clean food Clean whole foods have more points. That's just a given rule Peanut butter in its natural state of mixed nut butter definitely has more points than jiff whips or powdered peanut butter So with that though the calories aren't necessarily that much difference For example, if you have two tablespoons of jiff whips, it's a hundred and forty calories If you have two tablespoons of a mixed nut butter, it is a hundred and sixty calories So there is a twenty calorie difference But there is a three to four smart point difference between jiff whips and nut butter made from literally nuts And maybe a little bit of added salt So I was concerned that if I was staying within my points that my calories would be too low because I'm paying Points for whole food. I'm paying the extra points for nut butter versus jiff whips So I decided to do a little week-long trial where I tracked my calories and I also tracked my points What I found for me is on the days that I'm not working out So the days that I'm a little bit less active by eating whole food and staying within my points I was pretty close to where I should be calorically, but the days that I was working out going to jazzer size I was anywhere from three to five hundred calories below where I should be to lose two pounds a week So that was a little bit concerning to me and that was something I wasn't expecting necessarily when I transitioned over to Eating this way because I feel full I feel satiated But I'm not getting in a lot of times on those heavy workout days enough calories So what I would do is I would eat something that was point heavy But kind of calorically dense things such as a full fat yogurt or full fat dairy Or I'd add a little extra nut butter to my snack my breakfast my lunch and that way I was getting a little bit closer to where I should be calorie wise But it was putting me over a little bit in my points But I had to remember that I was earning fit points that day as well And that I'm going to eat when I'm hungry and I'm going to eat good food that satiates my body when I'm hungry My ultimate goal with this is to eventually transition from the blue plan to the purple plan I don't trust myself yet to watch my portions on Rices and starches. So that's why I didn't make the lead from green to purple I feel that blue is a good transition color to eventually get to the purple plan And then once I get to the point that I have lost my weight and I'm maintaining my weight on the purple plan Eventually I would like to move more towards intuitive eating but still tracking my point just eating what sounds good When I'm hungry and a portion of that food now you guys that's a long way down the road I'm nowhere near being able to do that But that I feel like is the growth that we want to see as we lose weight and as we learn to eat healthier and Better foods we want to see ourselves progress down the road eventually moving into an intuitive eating So that's kind of my ultimate goal So being on the blue plan and really eating when I'm hungry and being okay going a little bit over my points If it means that I'm getting a little bit closer to where I need to be calorie wise now I want to also say that I am not counting calories because I know you guys are gonna come for me in the comments Saying why would you do weight watchers if you're gonna count calories? I did it literally for a week just to see where I landed it is not something I plan to continue I am just tracking points right now, but I know that on the days that I work out if I'm hungry and my points are gone I am okay for me for my plan eating a little bit something extra Even if it puts me over my point such as full fat dairy or full fat nut butter Or maybe some hummus with some crackers or some vegetables That is what I've chosen to do for me now you if you're not comfortable going over your points Even on days that you work out then that's your decision But this is something that I'm doing because I'm trying to get my body adapted to eating when I'm hungry And the last thing that I wanted to share with you guys is overall weight loss. So In a nutshell, I'm loving making this decision. I'm a loving clean eating whole foods I feel so much better in all of the ways that I mentioned in this video But I am also seeing a substantial increase in the amount of weight that I am losing I will post a picture here where I show you guys a face to face From when I started ww also a full body from the day that I started working out to right now And that weight difference in that full body shot is about eight pounds But there is such a huge difference in the way that my body looks because I'm feeling it with good food Which means I'm getting in a really really good workout at jazzer side So I am getting more strong and fit and toned and I'm noticing a huge difference in just my overall body And the way that I feel but since transitioning over to clean eating I have lost about eight pounds and that's in the last month or so since that transition Now I have lost in this year of 2020 Through today, which is march. Oh my gosh, you guys. I'm so bad with dates today is march 9 So through today I have lost a just shy of 10 pounds since the beginning of the year Now most of that was since I transitioned to clean eating about eight pounds of that So I am seeing a lot more success on the scale I'm feeling better My body is just getting smaller and toned up and it's such a fantastic feeling that I literally am so incredibly grateful that I made this decision to not only switch to the blue plan on ww But to really switch to eating more whole real food and eliminating Processed sugar-free fat-free. In fact, I am no longer eating any sugar-free or fat-free I was able to eat that up throughout the last month or so since I moved over to clean eating And I really just recently finished up all my light cheeses and those types of things So now I've switched entirely over to full fat good food I've been sharing tons of recipes with you guys tons of my finds Highly recommend you guys head over and check out thrive and join the thrive marketplace It's amazing. So in a nutshell, I'm thrilled that I made this decision It was the best decision I could have ever made not only for my overall health But for my weight loss journey. So I'm so grateful for this decision I wanted to also let you guys know that if you do decide that you want to move over to clean eating You don't have to go go in both feet. You don't have to jump in entirely You can take baby steps and little by little eliminate a little bit of processed food here and a little processed food there And maybe some fat free and some sugar-free and eventually get yourself over to eating whole real food And if you choose not to do that and you're happy with your results on wwe eating what you want I say you do that too I think it's important for us to remember that we all have the decision to make about our journey our weight loss What we want to do to reach our goals health related wise weight loss related wise And for me, this is what i've chosen and i'm here to share that with you guys You can always make tweaks and substitutions if you don't want to have coconut oil in your Dessert because you want to save those six or eight points Then feel free to substitute whatever works for you if you don't want to eat milk plant based butter And you want I can't believe it's not better then certainly make those decisions for you We have to do what's best for us We know our bodies better than anybody else And we have to choose the foods in the way of eating that works best for our bodies I will be continuing to share points for you For all three plans like I always have and also for clean eating versus making some lower fat Substitutions that will lower the smart point. So I'm going to continue to be here for you guys No matter what way you've chosen to eat on w w whatever plan you're on on w w I am here for support and to answer any questions that you have I appreciate all of you guys so much.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. I'm pleased to get us started on our last session. And certainly, this is going to be a very interesting session, much as the others are, but this is very pertinent to the challenge that every one of us is facing right now, and that's dealing with the pandemic, the COVID-19 virus. And we are very fortunate to have Professor Yossi Sheffi, who is the director of our center, the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics. As well as holding a number of other positions at the institute. He's the Alicia Gray Professor of Engineering Systems, and has been a very prolific producer of relevant material in the entire supply chain domain, but particularly in our world of resilience and the challenge for supply chains to be resilient. I would argue that he's the world's foremost authority in this subject matter, particularly evidenced by all the great content that he's produced and shared regarding COVID-19. And we're fortunate to have him today to share some of that with us. Yossi, I'll turn it over to you now. Thank you very much, Jim. And hi everybody, good afternoon. Thanks for staying with the last. I hope to keep it worth your while. So we'll talk about COVID-19 and we'll cover the, what should corporations do now, how they should look at customers, what will happen in the next year, year and a half, what will be the new normal after that, what does supply chain look like, and a comment on environmental sustainability beyond the current period. So first of all, you know, there are many, many risks. And we usually talk about random phenomena, things like, you know, natural disasters, accidents can derail what we do. Politics, of course, when you have tariff wars, when you have other issues, non-compliance can bring companies to their knees. Competition can come from unexpected places. You know, sure, Apple, I'm sure, you know, Nokia never thought that going from 67% market share to 3% market share would be done by a computer company that's never been in the business. The economy, we're now living it, but we had before a significant downturn. This is very significant downturn, comparing probably to 1930s. Issue with social discontent when people are demonstrating against the use of animal against using fats, whatever. Intention disruption, of course, when we have issues like terrorism, there's also intentional disruption in terms of work-out and things like this. And finally, we're going to talk about pandemics. So they're all very different than I like to call what they call the Anna Karenina principle. So the story of the happy families are all alike. Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. We usually say that every disruption is different. Every disruption comes with only kind of misery, disasters, causes, not all the same. It is true. However, the management of most risk involves certain principles that are applicable to almost all of them. Prevention, detection, response. So they're a generic preferential step and then generic response steps. So what do companies are doing? They should think about having an emergency management center to get all their information in one place. We talk more about all of this. Think about how they communicate, how they make decisions, how they look at suppliers, how they look at the side, which product and customers to keep supplying, what did they do about their finances, and how they plan for recovery coming out of the COVID-19 era. So when I talk about emergency operations center, when I talk about is a general, is a place where a lot of information comes into and decisions are being made there. It's a general information decision-making function. It looks something like this. That was before the current pandemic. Right now, most companies operate the centers like this virtually. They are responsible for taking care of employees. So right now they are looking at employees, how they're doing at home, how the families are doing, how do we bring them back? They're taking care of the business ecosystem. How do we keep operating when we are under the COVID-19 regime? How do we keep operating when customers completely change what they're buying, when they're buying, if they're buying at all? And taking care of communities. Many of these large companies operate in a community and selling to areas where there are communities that they have to take care of. Just as an example, this is the emergency management center of Walmart during a small hurricane. A big hurricane, there'll be a lot more people, but it's a small hurricane trying to manage the response. Right now it's done online. This is the emergency management of American Airlines. There's nobody there. Nobody's flying right now. So the next thing that we have to talk about is crisis communication. How do we communicate to the various constituency that companies should be communicating to? So center for having ready communication to all stakeholders. What I mean by that, it used to be that we needed the envelope to send letters to everybody. Right now we need everybody's email address and we need to have a script for each one of our constituents. And the constituents are employees and customers and suppliers and the media and shareholders and analysts and the community. We need to communicate clearly and consistently to each one of these constituents. Most importantly, speaking with one voice. The company should get its act together and speak and communicate all this information consistently. We need to know who is in charge. If you recall after President Reagan was shot, General Hague went on television and said, I'm in charge. Actually, he was not in charge. Behind the president is the vice president and then the speaker of the house. The Secretary of Defense was not the next in command. The next thing that we should think about is give accurate information. And when I say accurate information, accurate information is also, I don't know certain information. I'm still looking at it. So it's what we know, what we know that we don't know. So I'm still looking at, say, what is the significance of antibodies? Are people getting actually immune or not? Well, we don't know, but we are looking at this with gusto. We're trying to understand if the world is looking at this. And then there are things that we don't know. We don't know. I still unknown. We don't know how long this will take. We don't know if some vaccine will be developed, will be effective. A lot of things we don't know. But communicating this and admitting that things that we know, we don't know is extremely important. In terms of decision making, I call it the swim your own lane. There are many examples when there's, there's an emergency operation center that has all the information. It has people who understand all the intricacy of building the product and understand the customers invariably in several of the crisis that I was studying during my, the time that I was writing my books about it. Some VP came in and made a decision or CEO came in and made this, just do this invariably. It was the wrong decision. Product that complicated customer relationship are very nuanced. And it's very important to be close to the people closer to the action. We'll take responsibility. Bill Betty check who anybody from England knows and loves and anybody from outside knows and hates used to say, do your job. That's the idea. Don't do other people's job. Just do your job. What it is that you are responsible for. Very important. We look at suppliers. We have to, um, if we're lucky enough to do what's called supplier mapping before, before they started, then we're in good shape. Supplier mapping tells us where all the suppliers are, not where the headquarters are, but where the extra plants are. So if something happened in this area of the world, we know immediately what product are being made there, which, what parts are being made there, which product they're going into, which customers are being served by this product. So we can alert the customer, we can make, make some decision. It's become, it used to be a huge exercise for a large company, large complex company. It's not a lot easier because there are actually companies who are specialists in doing things like this. So they, and they can be very helpful and do it relatively quickly. In terms of supply, you need to know, as I said before, what do they make as is it critical? How critical it is to your operation? Which customers are being served? As I said before, of course inventory level throughout, throughout the supply chain and the supplier. The capacity, that's a supplier can recover very quickly. Or how long does it, how long does it take for the supplier to recover? Can we look into the recovery path? Can we look into the supply? Do we know them? Can we get good information there? Now, that certain thing to watch for when suppliers getting trouble or have a, the capacity impeded things like quality degradation. Some, in some cases we've seen supplier that reduce quality, dilute certain assets that go into the program without doing the right quality control. If you see late delivery and order errors, it's usually a sign that the management is looking somewhere else and not taking care of you or other customers. Of course you look at the financial health of the, of the supplier to see, you know, how long there will be in business and you have to communicate with them continuously. Finally, as supplies dry up, we see a lot of fakes that happen in every crisis that we ever had in the Japan crisis, the Thailand floods. We always have when there's a shortage of supply, new companies are coming with fakes. We see this now even with masks and other PPEs, huge shipment from China turned out to be subpar, not good for you in hospitals. Holland said they had to throw out 600,000 masks that were subpar and it did happen even in the United States. So this is something to always watch for, for fakes and the stuff that's very, very low quality. Finally, at the same time that you are worrying about cash and as we go into the, the current recession and we are going into recession. Of course you try to, to manage cash instead of managing for profit, you manage for cash flow, but when you start lengthening payment terms to suppliers, you put the suppliers in risk. So you have to think about both worrying about cash and supporting critical supply. And this can happen in a lot of way. You can use your credit to have the supply. There are lots of, lots of ways of doing this. I don't have time to go over all of this. What happens when you don't have enough supplies? How do you decide who to give it to? Well, if you have limited supply, one way you can do is allocate. You can say, okay, I cannot give to everybody. So I'll be this product and not those products. I'll serve these suppliers and not those suppliers. How do you decide when one way to do it is based on margin? I'll just build the product and serve the supplier where the highest profitability. This can have repercussions. This is not generally used as a fair deal. And customers may retaliate later. In fact, there's a case, a dramatic case like this, is the auctions when during the Thailand floods, Western digital was hit very hard. And the Seagate, the competitor decided that it's good time to do an auction. They'll give these drives or short supply to the company who pays the most. Customer had no other opportunity, so they pay, but as soon as the flood receded, Western digital became number one again. Every customer could move back, move back. Talk about dilution. That's one way to reduce product quality. There are cases where simply reduce product quality, but the dilution sometimes worked. Intel, for example, during the Japan crisis, diluted some acid that it uses in the chip making process. But of course they did with a lot of quality control and made sure that it worked. Finally, you can shape the demand. There are companies who are, if they don't have certain parts to make certain products, they raise the price of this product, but reduce the price of product of which they have a lot of. So they try to move customer through pricing to the product that they can supply. You have to ask also, not this is what you do right now, but you have to start planning for the recovery. You have to worry about keeping expertise in house. You have to worry about treating employees right if you can continue to pay. All the other companies are now paying all their employees because they don't want to be causing a situation that trained people will leave the market. So they take care of employees and families. They also allow part-time work. Interestingly, in Germany and Holland, they changed labor law in order to make sure that people can work half-time and they'll get unemployment, only half of the unemployment. This was not allowed before in the changed labor law. Suppliers will remember how to treat them, how to treat them, how you treat them as well. So take this into account. However, not everything is lovey-dovey. A crisis is a terrible thing to waste and this is also an opportunity to make some tough business decisions. It's an opportunity to do the reorganization that you always wanted to do. The company always needed to do in your function and there was also resistance and you couldn't get people to do it. That can be time to do it. For example, cutting non-performing products and customers, that may be the right time to do it. In fact, we see retailers and food companies and other manufacturers cutting down a lot of their assortment and focusing on a few items that they can supply consistently and build inventory. Let's look at the next 12-18 months as the country is opening and see what is likely to happen. Let me just say that, as I said before, forecasting is difficult, especially the future. So what I'm now doing is forecasting. Opening the economies. First of all, the economic impact, the recession is likely to linger for years. Almost nobody thinks any difference, aside from some epitoc from certain quarters. But countries and states are starting to open up. It's very interesting to look at a Swedish model. Sweden did never close the country. They gave all the information to people and many people stayed home, but others did not. This is what happened. This is the weekly rolling average of fatality in Sweden. Getting to about on the average, this is the days since they first discovered I think the first case or the first three cases in the country, they never closed. And I should just say that this is a logarithmic scale, but they got to about 100 a week of cases of fatalities. It's interesting that there are countries of about 10 million people. Interesting to compare it to the UK. The UK closed very late. And they are now running at about 1,200, 1,300 a week in average in terms of death. Norway, for example, which locked down immediately, got less than 10. It's about eight. Now it's about six death a week. A country of about half the size of Sweden, but 10 times less death. Similar Denmark, very similar, got to about 12. The country is a little bigger, got to about 12, but they closed immediately. They closed right at the beginning. They look at other countries and say, oh my God, they closed. So it's really interesting. What we see from here is closing late. Doesn't quite work. Closing early is the key to success. We'll see what happened. And then Sweden gives us a test case in how we can do opening societies. So it's not clear who is right. It's not clear that Sweden is wrong because we may still have a second wave. We may still have a second wave where Norway, Denmark and others open their economies. Now it's a choice between multiple options. It's not like you either close or open. The trick is of course to find a balance when you can open. We're not working at MIT, but how do we open the Institute? How do we bring people? How do we conduct research when some people are online? Some people are in other countries. How do we bring undergraduates, mostly Americans? How do we bring them back on campus? And we bring them in waves and not everybody in the, in the dormitories. But there's a lot of thoughts about continuous testing, about tracking, about the, not, interesting, not forcing people to come on campus, especially students. But after six months, if they don't want to come on campus and we feel there are no cases, everything works. Explaining that doing research at MIT is a privilege, not a right. So we treat it this way. So nobody's completely opening or closing indefinitely. There's always, you know, in all the plans to, to opening, there's a middle ground. And the question is, will the subsequent wave be worse? Will we have, there's a lot of people who think that the next wave when people are starting going out will be worse. I'm not sure because this does not take into account the fact that a lot of people will voluntarily stay home. And not especially people who are, and all the people, people with, with all kinds of conditions. The important thing, the only reason that they really, that the Sweden model was, you know, not every country should use the Sweden model is because it could overwhelm the hospitals. In fact, the United States got very close to overwhelming hospital. Boston just missed it. Boston is not going to overwhelm hospitals, but they came very close to overwhelming hospitals. So we are witnessing a natural experiment around the world. And we should take a note and make sure that we study what everybody is doing, understand their success or their failures and learn from this. So what will the recovery look like? Some people say it's going to be a very recovery.  Some others say it will be a recovery.  Some people say it's an end. We'll, for years, we will be in a recession. And some people say it's going to be a W.  I think a better way to think about it is a Wackermann recovery. We will have a random flare up, shut down, reopening around the world in random times. We will have people opening up, and then they open maybe too much, and they'll see suddenly infections spiking up, and they'll close, and they'll shut down factories again, and they'll shut down stores. The question is we have to be ready for it and think about how to manage it. So the question is, in this case, it is so random. What's the value of the supply chain strategy? It's important to, well, first of all, it's important to stay with, trends will continue in frequency. A lot of trends that are accelerating after the coronavirus case. And always keep testing your assumption, of course. So what's the value of planning here? Well, Dwight Eisenhower said, plans are worthless, planning is everything. And clearly no one plan can anticipate what's going on. But planning, looking at various scenario, is very important because it socializes and conditions the organization to think about various outcomes. So you plan for reactive response. And several companies are putting together what they call local tiger teams. They are watching for areas of the globe and have teams that are just looking at this area and listening to several things. Not only local hospital and social network, but HR in plants of suppliers. The thing are these people doing social distancing and masks and gloves and testing as they should, or they're just being cavalier about it. And they'll have another flera. All these tiger teams are coordinated by the emergency operation center that I mentioned a few slides ago. Other strategy, some strategy, for example, that helps in this case is postponing. If you don't send the product, but wait with it until you commit a product to a certain locale. So the new normal. This is the handshaking in the new normal. So the new normal coming here, clearly we'll have a recession. And the question is what we'll say in the recession. Turns out that we saw in 2008, 2009, low end sales and high end sales. High end sales because people who buy Rolex watches are usually not influenced by the recession, not affected by the recession. So people, a lot of people buy the low end. So the Walmart did very well in 2008, 2009. The problem is middle of the road offering. If you are kind of middle of the road supplier, middle of the road retailer, you will be hurt. And in fact, we see many of the large retail retailers are closing jobs. We will have inflation. You cannot put trees of dollars into the economy and not suffer inflation down the road. And you have to, the usual balance is between, you know, cost and level of service. But now a lot of us will look at resilience and being able and risk management resilience and there will continue to be pressure on environmental. But I think we'll come back to this, the last topic I'm going to talk about is environmental issues. So one of the things that there will be a new competitive adventure is safe zones. After 9-11, we created safe zones in airports, in shopping malls. If you go to a country like Colombia and Israel and others, shopping malls, kindergarten, and looking like airports, you just cannot just go into them. So this allowed people to start flying again. They now feel safe to go on an airplane. With COVID-19, there will be another type of safe zone. We will have to create minimal infection danger. So areas when people can congregate without fear and doing it right would be a new competitive advantage, but we need to create different type of safe zone looking at it from healthcare point of view. The new normal, of course, will be masks and still a lot of working from home, a lot of Zoom, and yeah, a lot of homeschooling. Let's look at post-COVID supply chains, because I think there's a lot of stuff written about it that one has to examine critically. So the media is talking about the failure of supply chain and the end of just in time, and the end of reliance on China and all reshowing. I'm not so sure. So failure of supply chain are contrary. This is their finest hour. I actually wrote a blog about it. I think it's the finest hour of supply chain. Look at the food supply chain. No restaurants, no institutions. So half the food that's being plucked and manufactured will go to restaurant institutions. Change of item consumed. Very few people are buying fresh. A lot of people are buying flour and bread and beans and canned goods. Completely changed the demand pattern. So it's less fresh, more canned food, more bread, pasta. We see plant closures here and there. And still, of course, the media shows us this. The media is responsible, by the way, for a lot of the panic buying, because of course, you know, if it bleeds, it leads type of, you know, this is the picture if you come at night when the supermarket is closed. If you come in the morning, it looks like this. All this picture of empty shelves were taken at night. Only nobody told the consumers. Empty shelves, my God, let's run for the hills. So to me, the fact that the food supply chain is still working is amazing. And it's something that supply chain managers in this industry should get a trophy for. It's impressive. So I don't see a failure. I see flexibility and adjustment to an extended, say, hard to imagine. Just in time, the end of just in time. Now it's not going to be. The third production system is one of the most important innovation ever in terms of manufacturing supply chain. So, yeah, it calls for minimizing inventory, but the result is also resilience and flexibility. Ability to respond to demand changes because information can travel very quickly throughout the supply chain. It results in high quality. That's how Toyota almost decimated the US auto industry a few decades ago. Low waste, avoiding bottleneck, controlling for variability. You get low waste. These things are the result of low cost high quality products that you cannot do without. So people will still use just in time. They may keep in certain places higher inventory, especially when you talk about things like medical supplies. There are about 150 medical supplies that we need that are the United States does not make in the United States and are done overseas. I'm not sure that the solution is to move them into the United States or to keep an inventory at the point of sale. But rather treat it as we treat the strategic petroleum reserve at the time that we thought we don't have enough oil. There was a central reserve and we can talk more about it, about where to keep the Central University. My latest influence blog on LinkedIn talks about this. Will people get out of China? Well, I'm also not sure about that. Many companies are not in China do only to low cost. Low cost by the way is diminishing advantage in China. In many industries, costs is becoming is going higher. Those that are going for low cost, like certain government manufacture are moving to other Asian countries are not coming to the United States. They cannot justify the cost. So they're moving to Vietnam. They're moving to Indonesia. They're moving to Bangladesh. But they're not getting. They may be moving out of China, but not to the United States. Other industries that are what are called sophisticated product industry automotive high tech aviation. There's a whole infrastructure of Chinese supply, Chinese suppliers and ecosystem that offers innovation, speed, capacity, responsiveness. That is hard to match elsewhere. It may take many, many years to be similar capacity elsewhere. And I'm not sure it's a, the time may be past. You may not able to lose. I don't see this taking place. You can't find this. And however, let me just say that company may balance procurement. They may still do 70, 80% of procurement in China and have some Western suppliers just, just in case, at least they are not going to be shut down completely. But at the same time, some companies with Western suppliers want to balance with some Chinese suppliers. Finally, let's not forget that China is still a very large and growing market. Companies cannot just not go to China. Medical supply. It's a, it's a different story to avoid the repeat. People are talking to build US manufacturing capacity. Let me give you an example. It makes no particular sense. 3M makes N95 masks. It's worldwide from factories all over the world. They make 50 million N95 masks. N95 is not the gold standard of masks. The agencies, the government thinks that we need 300 millions of masks just for healthcare workers. Forget what other people work. People in industry are using them. People who work in, you know, all kinds of dangerous industries. 300 million are just, you know, so something here. What does it want me to do? So can you see this on my screen? No, just your slides. Good.  I don't know. Anyway, so many more required for industrial workers and anybody in contact with the public would want them in the non-normal. So we don't have enough capacity to make them. And the issue is currently it is many healthcare, but there's a lot more of this. So the question is to understand how we do medical supply, think about the medical supply chain, the medical devices and pharmaceutical supply chain. So there's all these plants all over the world. And these plants are sending product to basically to a number of distributors. The distributor industry in the United States is very concentrated. About 80 or 90% is held by the four or five largest distributors. And from there it goes to hospitals. Sometimes it goes from China or elsewhere to local manufacturer Johnson & Johnson. Sometimes they take some compounds from China and they set it either to the distributor or to the hospital directly. Remember this supply chain because the question is now about 150 critical pharmaceutical medical supply not made in the US. Solution one is big local capacity. That's what many people are calling for. But creating US capacity to manufacture, I mean, much more than we need is very wasteful. We'll have idle machinery and work here when there's no once in a hundred years storm. A different solution is inventory. Hospitals can keep some inventory and can be stress test, right? Like the banks are being stressed as if they keep enough cash. We can also keep the main solution is central inventory. But unlike the strategic petroleum reserve, it should not be in a central place in some mountain in Omaha or whatever. The question is worth it because also you need to avoid expiration of pharmaceutical. So it should be held by distributors. Distributors should have a much higher inventory to operate and this will be a live inventory. It's just that the carrying cost should be paid by the government just like the strategic petroleum reserve. The strategic petroleum reserve, the government pays for everything. Here's just the carrying cost. And the idea is that this distributor will not be able to go below a certain level. It's an inventory level without approval that maybe the president or somebody at that level. So they will not be able to use it to modulate day-to-day fluctuation and they avoid the cost and quality issues that come with too large inventory. And this should be audited and should be reported on. Now, of course, machine and medicines are not enough. You need medical technician and doctor and nurses that are also in short supply and getting, you know, work to death. So the solution is probably a national guard and medical national guard. Just like we have a military national guard, we'll have a medical national guard when people are working, let's say, a weekend a month, you are a dentist, but you work a weekend a month in the hospital and come for two, three weeks a year, you know, to be trained on new machinery and new procedures. Finally, what about environmental sustainability in the new normal? Right now we have some winds. You know, you see pollution in China during the height of the pandemic was, when China was closed, was significantly less. And on two level in Boston, down by quarter, it is quiet in the street, much nicer. But, you know, much less of cycling is going on. Now we have a ban on multiple use bags. We want single use bags. E-commerce gives us so much packaging that it clogs everything. So the question is, what's next? What will happen as you start to open up? So air travel clearly down for the count for a long while. Big conferences are not going to happen anytime soon. The question is, for example, people who have transit use, I think there will be unbelievable congestions in the streets because people are going to use their cars. People will avoid using buses and trains. We'll avoid cases when they interact with other people. There will be a lot of incentive to restart the economy and that's what people may pay attention to and not pay attention to environmental sustainability. More e-commerce will go back to, you know, same day delivery or two hours delivery, which is really not a good way to distribute product. Low oil prices. Low oil prices means that the whole renewable economy is in question, at least for a wine, until oil prices will recover. The question is, how far will they recover? Oil prices are low. People are using more. It makes less sense economically at least to buy an electric car, for example, or a hybrid car when oil prices are so low. And after the financial crash, a mission recovered relatively quickly to an all-time high in 2010, just a year after the crash. So in recession, consumers are likely to focus on cash and economics and not on, and buy the least expensive product rather than the product that is billed responsibly. And companies will focus on staying in business and growing their business. And again, focus on economics. And I expect a lot less on environmental sustainability. The one bright note that I see is that sustainability and resilience intersect. If companies after the, after when we come out of this, will companies start very diligently mapping the supply chain down to the plant and second and third level supplier, second level tier supplier, they know more not only about the risk posed by the supplier, but the environmental and social practices of that supplier. So they can, just by knowing who they are, they can put more pressure on them. Anyway, so let me stop here. And if you want to read some books that are, don't talk about this pandemic. These are my two books on the subject. And they, on my, on my side, there's a lot more material, a lot more papers, the Wall Street Journal article, several of my Bloomberg, Bloomberg, CNBC and many others. And mainly my LinkedIn influencer posts that the last three or four deal with the pandemic. Anyway, so let me stop here and turn it over to Gene. Great, thanks, you'll see. We have a bunch of questions. One of them is a interesting one from Amir Shahir. And Amir asks, do you think COVID-19 accelerated the need of AI and supply chain? And if yes, how do you think AI can help enhance supply chain? Okay, that's a complex question. AI is a family. So if we're talking, for example, when people talk about AI and supply chains, one of the biggest application is forecasting. We all want to be able to forecast. So better forecasting clearly helps supply chain. Better forecasting would have zero impact in this case. Because when you have something, the most sophisticated AI, the most sophisticated machine learning would have no impact in this case. Because when you have such structural change in the demand, think about it. All the machine learning was working on the data from the last year, two years, three years, trying to figure out seasonality and product and what people buy and these are, everything is out the door. You cannot use any of these. Now, as we go forward, what will happen is, I don't think there's particularly related to this. In fact, if anything, some companies will restrict their investment in the CAPEX in general, capital investment. And this may include using technology that is more, that they are not comfortable with. People will use it on an experimental basis here or there, but in talking about on an industrial scale, it will wait. I'm talking about supply chain. It is used on industrial case by Facebook, by Google, by others, clearly today. But in terms of supply chain operations, in certain areas, yes, in certain reading documents, in certain language processing of documents, stuff like this. In spots, yes, absolutely. It's an application. If you have a problem and AI is the best solution, people will use it. But I don't see right away a big push to invest in technology that a lot of people still consider new. Thank you, Yossi. Jared has a comment. Dr. Jared Gensel. Hey, Yossi. I agree with your assessment of the whack-a-mole recovery and we're going to be dealing with, I think some degree of social distancing for a while until we have a vaccine. So how do you think that affects productivity across the supply chain? So for example, CDC came out with guidelines for the meat industry and said they have to do social distancing, you know, instead of being next to each other, they have to be for their part. That cuts productivity of the plant. This happens in warehouses where people have to arrive in shifts at different times. How do we, we plan our supply chains around this kind of temporary new normal? Yeah, I actually wrote about it. And what will happen is we will have reduced capacity. There's no two ways about it. If we have in a warehouse in a production plan, I don't know if you saw those two or three days ago, there were interviews and on public, public television with the CEO of Ford and with the chairman of Ford and the CEO of GM, and they show how they're going to work in the future. Well, there are stations far apart with plastic, you know, dividers between them, people with, you know, gloves and people are being tested when they come in, temperatures being taken. All of this will reduce capacity. People working, you know, people may have to add a shift and work around the clock. Some people come, they will not be able to have the same number of people at the plant at the same time at the warehouse at the same time. Rule of picking and packing at the warehouse will be different. For example, people will be able to go just like in written stone, not only one way along the, along the aisle. So it will take a little more to pick, to pick each package. The good thing is that we have what I think it will accelerate is the move to robotics in warehouses. That's a move that's already very strong. And I see it accelerating. Roboting on the manufacturing floor to the extent that it worked, but robotics in warehouses are so widespread and they're better and better machinery, better AI in fact that runs these robots. So we'll see more of this for sure. But we have to get this means that costs will go up at a time that people will have less ability to pay. It's not a question of profiteering or taking advantage costs will just go up because you'll have to, to use more people to do the same job. Great. What about middle management, the productivity of decision makers? We're all making decisions on zoom meetings. Does that change too? I don't see it. I think that we get used to it. Amazing. In terms of, of making this, what happens is we work longer hours for sure. I mean, I, I'm on zoom. 12 to 14 hours a day and I'm not making it up. It's just that they, I, many of you don't know, but there's a MIT. We started eight o'clock in the morning. And that's all usually my second meeting of the day. At eight o'clock in the morning is a meeting of all departments. Every day. All departments in center. It's about how do we move forward in terms of education, in terms of research, in terms of discussions going on. And then it goes down. Then I have discussion with people in the center. So this is a, I think it's working. I don't see problem with this, but it's more pressure. More pressure of working at home. I don't have young kids running at home, but people who do. You can see it on zoom. Yossi and Jared. Thank you. I'm going to give our last question to our friend, Bob Ferrari. Bob asks, Yossi, how do you view sales and operations planning in the post COVID-19 normal? There's a process far more tactical and focused on agility. It's exactly what I was going to say. You know, the answers in the question. The, the, I think that they, we will have sale and operation planning in much more broad strokes. And we will keep doing it. More detail, more frequently. And as information is coming in, for example, I talk about a Wacom all recovery.  Well, we may have a, there's a port there.  If you have operation there, if you sell there, you have to respond somehow. If you think it's a long, it's a long term, you may have to start moving parts out of there.  So being able, that's what I talk originally about the, the role of the tiger team and people paying attention to certain parts, parts of the world, many of them should be local. So they, they listen to the local vibe and start to, to understand quickly what's going on. And then feed it to the emergency operations center that basically what the emergency operations center is doing the last detail of the SNOP plan. Because that's what they do with the SNOP, look at supply and demand and how to connect supply and demand quickly when the situation changes. So yeah, they have certain manufacturing and they want to have more than one supplier in certain area and they want to have some more inventory, possibly it would be the general SNOP decision, but then responding to immediate challenges would have to bend frequently as they come. Yossi, thank you very much. I want to use this to close and say, thank you to a great many people, including our presenters, Yaxin Huang, Tim Swagger, Muriel Medaud, Alexis Bateman, Donna Palombo-Milly, Wojciech Matusik and of course Yossi. I also want to say thank you to my colleagues Kent Cottrell and Dr. Jared Gensel for joining and participating in the discussion. And then also thank you to Arthur and Dan and the cons team, as well as all the staff at CTL that have pulled this together. And very importantly, I want to say thank you to all the participants for joining. We really appreciate you investing your time in this. We think that we've hopefully made a little bit of a dent in understanding what some of that uncertainty is in the future that applies. I think we've left also some things for you to think about the development of some of these different technologies and capabilities and how they may apply to solve hygiene in the future. It's an ongoing discussion that we expect to continue to have.


okay it's been a while I know I'm sorry but I have been figuring things out and I'm not playing around with like figuring little things out I've been figuring the big guns out and I'm gonna tell you guys as much as I possibly can right now in a video about the future of Canada's Wonderland and I'm gonna tell you right now and you've heard it before we've been talking about it a lot but I can confirm now that Canada's Wonderland is under a serious redevelopment process and so much so that they've sought out the help of third party companies to come help design new attractions and keyword redesign old attractions to better fit into a new theme park essentially transforming Canada's Wonderland from an amusement park into a theme park in Canada so this is definitely an extensive project that is going to be taking place at Canada's Wonderland and it's gonna be happening over starting now actually probably even starting on the past attractions I would say Frontier Canada started at all but moving forward it's only gonna get more accelerated I'm hearing things from walk-around characters finally coming back to Canada's Wonderland over the years I'm hearing themed music is being discussed I'm hearing there's a major plan for Splashworks but we won't get into that quite yet but I'll tell you right now that I figured out that this rendering on the screen right now the blast coaster is a fully designed concept so this concept art was presented and designed by a firm a third party company as a idea for an attraction at Canada's Wonderland and it looks like it's gone forward so much so that I can tell you that there is construction update that I'm not allowed to film for you guys I have been told to not film inside Wonder Mountain so I can't film what is going on but I'm gonna tell you guys what's going on okay so pretend like there is footage in front of you but they are clearing out the mountain we're talking old Hannah Barbara stuff Hannah Barbara stuff how everyone I pronounce it it is all being vacated from the mountain there is a ton of formations in the mountain getting ready to pour B&M sized columns inside there as well as little tiny formations to restructure the mountain as well so definitely get ready because they are moving forward with that attraction and it definitely is going to be happening whatever they decide to build we don't know if it's going to be a wing or an invert or some first of the kind but they are moving forward with something now moving on to other areas of the park I don't know what the theme for Kingswood area is going to be but I'm going to assume it's going to be world expo but expect something big there as well I also expect the hotel making an appearance down the road whether it's changed or whatever or a new plot of land maybe it'll end up being gigs would who knows I also have also also also heard that front gate is on the list for our renovation okay we have seen signs of it and it is definitely on the list furthermore so splash works is oddly on the list as well it appears from my rumblings that splash works may be on the list to receive a complete overhaul and they might aggressively go after the Canadian theme in splash works and alter splash works all together so those are things that are coming down my pipeline into my rumor mill um so we will have to be paying attention to a lot trust me things are about to get started I would say land clearing is going to start sometime in December or January early January it's going to be late December early January that land clearing starts for 2025 coaster but wonderland is under a rapid expansion phase so pay attention anyways I wanted to quickly up this information for you guys and get you hyped up as the construction updates will be coming back but unfortunately as you heard I can't film inside the mountain I am actually restricted but nonetheless stay tuned because there will be drone updates because there will have to be land clearing starting again in December or January anyways thanks so much for watching guys have a good one bye


Voyager boy that I love that platform and you know that I talked about it many a time on this channel and Now it looks like we're coming to the final resolution As it looks like Voyager is gonna be picked up by Binance US Binance US can move ahead with plan to acquire Voyager digital assets judge rule. I gotta give a hand to judge wildly He stood up to the SEC council and said basically, what are you doing here? Why trying to disrupt this? I'm gonna move this this forward if you didn't give guidance that's on you Grab some bench you guys are rookies So I give all the props of the world to judge wildly and it just shows you that one person can truly make a difference so

La constructora del proyecto es Gratix Utilities. El personal de esta compañía es, por ejemplo, Michael Brax. El asesor del diseño de ingeniería sería la compañía RLG. Y su representante es Brent Lewis. This project is in Council District 5 and it will impact the historical top six and its top six fully oversight areas. The landmarks nearby are Fort Worth Fire Station number three. The boys and girls club of Greater Tarrant County is across the fire station. We're here. And the Emanuel Masonry Baptist Church at Ronnie Avenue 3rd Drive is here. Las generalidades del proyecto incluyen, por ejemplo, que el proyecto se encuentra dentro del distrito municipal número cinco y afectará a las asesoraciones del diseño of the historic top six y al área de top six in the fully oversight. Algunos puntos de referencia para que mejor se ubiquen incluyen a la estación de bomberos de Fort Worth número tres. Esta se encuentra en el 2502 in Sheraton Drive, junto a un nuevo hogar. Después está el club de los boys and girls of Greater Tarrant County. Se encuentra al usar la calle frente a la estación de bomberos número tres y la UPSF of Pista Emanuel Masonry, que está en la esquina del área y la raíz de Sheraton Drive. Are we doing this project at the Fort Worth Water Department and the neighborhood services department are partnering together on the community development block grant, CDG fund project. This grant is from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development at UD fund. This project will provide water to experiment for the future of affordable housing. Por qué realizamos este proyecto, la compañía de agua de color y el departamento de servicios de vecindarios se unen en este proyecto del sub street subsidio para el desarrollo comunitario de cuadas. El subsidio es patrocinado por el departamento de viviendas y desarrollo urbano urbano de Estados Unidos. Mejor conocida como HAL. El proyecto permite mejorar la tubería del agua y entrenaje y facilita la futura construcción de hogares en esta cuarta. I'm going to talk a little bit about the community block grant. In early 2020, our developer applied for the community block grant and to install water and sewer line into the lot they owned on the Sheraton Drive and the neighborhood services department staff learned that water and sewer means are not, they do not exist on this block and as a result proposed to fund this project with the CDBG funds to provide water and sewer services with blocks in order to support single-family in-fail development on certain drives. The in-fail development is defined as new development on the vacant or undeveloped land within an existing community that is enclosed by other types of development. Estarán preguntando qué son los fondos del subsidio para el desarrollo comunitario de Cuadras. Bueno, tenemos que a principios del 2020 una constructora solicitó la vida de los fondos del subsidio para el desarrollo comunitario de Cuadras. Mejor conocido como CDBG. CDBG. Para instalar la tubería de agua y granadio y poder conectar uno de sus terremos en Sheraton Drive. El personal de servicios de desnudadio se enteró de que no había tubería de agua y drenaje en esa cuadra y como resultado se ofrecieron a pagar este proyecto con fondos del CDBG. Proveriendo así los servicios de agua y drenaje hay esta cuadra y para apoyar además la construcción de hogares en los terrenos valdíos en Sheraton Drive. Se define la construcción de espacios vacíos como nuevo desarrollo en terrenos valdíos o no desarrollados dentro de una comunidad existente que está rodeada de otros tipos de desarrollo. What does this project include? This project includes extending our water main and scientists who are main from Rami Avenue and Sheraton Drive intersection to the Sheraton Drive, San San Drive intersection. Addresses 2510, 2512, 2514, 2516, and 2518. Un certain drive on the wayside of Sheraton Drive are owned by Photos Housing Finance Corporation and are intended for the development of affordable single-family homes. This includes in this project is the project to include the extension of the tubería de la agua and the drenaje saletario. The intersection of the Rami Avenue is Sheraton Drive, and the intersection of the Sheraton Drive is San San Drive. La dirección en 2510, 2512, 2514, 2516, 2518 and Sheraton Drive, ubicados a lado oeste de Sheraton son propiedades of the Photos Housing Finance Corporation. La intención es construir hogares económicos en estos terrenos en el futuro. Now I'm going to talk about the project area, the new water main on the certain drive will connect to an existing water on Rami Avenue, and then that will extend on the Sheraton Drive and connect on the other side on the Sheraton Drive. The sanitary sewer main will tie on an existing sewer main on the Rami Avenue and extend to an existing sewer main to the San San Drive. The sewer main will be installed on the west side of the Sheraton Drive and the water main will be installed on the east side of the site. The project area includes that the new water pipe will connect to an existing water line on the Rami Avenue. Then it will extend to an existing water pipe in San San Drive. The sanitary sewer main will connect to the current line on the Rami Avenue and extend to the drainage line in San San Drive. The drainage pipe will be installed on the west side of the Sheraton Drive and the water pipe will be installed on the west side of the Sheraton Drive. Construction scope on this project, the construction includes installation of water and sewer mains and water and sewer taps on the certain drive. After the water and sewer taps are installed, main and tap are installed, certain drive will be paved with asphalt including the curb and gutter installation. The construction work includes installation of the drainage pipe and the sewer tap as well as the water and sewer taps in Sheraton Drive. After the installation of the drainage pipe the Sheraton Drive will be paved with asphalt and the curb and gutter will be constructed and connected along the street. Water services to the residents and residences and the businesses in the immediate area of the Sheraton Drive will be impacted when the water line is tied in at the Rami Avenue and the San San Drive. That will include Rami Avenue from south, it will terrace to M.S.A. Avenue and the San San Drive from south, it will terrace to Langston Street. In Servicio de Agua para las Residencias Negócios Arteacentes al área de Sheraton Drive, se verán afectadas al conectarse la seguridad del agua en la avenida de Reine y Sunshine. El área incluye la avenida de Reine de south, it will terrace a la avenida de Amanda. Sunshine Drive, the south edge will terrace a la calle Langston. Are there homes at Sheraton Drive? Yes, there are homes on the Sheraton Drive, new homes. 25 different Sheraton Drive at Sheraton and Rami Avenue just a corner and it is tied to the water and sewer on Rami Avenue. The other one is 25, 20 Sheraton Drive, which is at the Sheraton and Sunshine intersection corner and is this home tied in the water and sewer on the Sunshine Drive. Se preguntarán si hay hogares en Sheraton Drive. Por si, la dirección es el 2502 en Sheraton Drive en la esquina de Sheraton y Reine, la casa está conectada a la avenida de agua y del drenaje por la avenida de Reine. Después tenemos el 25, 20 Sheraton Drive en la esquina de Sheraton y Sunshine. Esta está conectada a la línea de agua y del drenaje en Sunshine. Are there, so there is an entire park on the other side of the road and add eight people to seven people. But the parking there didn't drive. The parking was connected to the water and it took on the record. So she was cutting out. Sally, I don't know if you noticed that. Like you did that. Should I continue? Hey, that was my question. Can we, we can't splice it together. You want to start over? Sure. But team, if something's going on with your connection, do you know what it is? I don't know.  It's a, a staticky. Yeah. So it's got your, your words up. Do we just start over? Yeah, we'll have to start ever since we just talked to her. Okay. I can't stop it. Okay, let me try again, call in again. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and stop it and then we'll start it back up, okay? Oh. All right, hang on right.


What's up everybody, Jason here for JazzBusyCaseBrace.com. Last filler guys, this is going to be with the last six spots in the hip parade mixer with this 2022 Capstone's MLB pack number 40. So again guys, same thing. We'll do the break, then at the end we'll randomize the customer names and the top six names get into the break. So let's do the pack filler first, roll, it is a one and a three, four times, one, two, three, four, four times, four times, Tristan. One, two, Tristan, four times, one, two, three, four, four times, four, four, Marlon down at the Texas Rangers, four, four, all right, again, stick to what you got of course, no trading. So all right guys, here we go, let's put it all in this little pack here, Suzuki, Bowman, Siri, and nice, we got another auto. Bryson Stott, so the first one I think we got a, you got a Pudge Rodriguez, now Bryson Stott for Philadelphia, there you go, little sum sum, deja vu. So that Philadelphia Phillies is going to go to Michael Tang, there you go. Now the switchings and of course last one here, hip parade mixer, last six, top six get in after the dice roll of five times, one and a four, five times, one, two, three, four, five. Bowman five times, five, five, just missing out with Michael P, sorry buddy.  Stephen Barry, you're in, Eugene, Michael Tang, Tristan, D-Mac, and Michael Tang, congratulations, boom, nice. So there you go guys, top six are in, paste your guys' names in here. And again guys, we do have enough to run a couple of these guys, and like I said, I'll repost it right now once I'm done with this. So again, obviously number one's coming up next, but like I said, if you want to get into the next following one, I'll repost up some fillers and some straight up spots and we can get the next ones rolling guys. Appreciate it guys, jazbscasefrakes.com.


So I just wanted to show this little graphics here to kind of give you an idea where Python lies within all the other languages. The real language is comprised of many characteristics or different layers. And as you can see here under this row, we have some very specific types of languages. If you look under this big blue box here, so all these program languages are very specific to their own thing, right? So usually you don't use it to do anything else other than what it's designed for. So like HTML is used primarily for web pages. You don't use that to create a game with something, right? I mean, you can, right? It's not that feasible. The same thing as over here, most of these are for like AIs and for math only. And then down here we have the general purpose languages. I'm sure you've seen a lot of these already. And most, well, actually the book of languages out there are for under this general purpose, okay? And then we look at the column wise. So we have the low level languages here and we have the high level. As you will see, probably 99% of all languages today are high level, okay? The only low level language that I know of that exists today is assembly. And I haven't done any assembly coding since like the late or the early 1990s, so that's the only one that I know of. Well, and then of course machine code is just binaries, okay? So low level here is it means just like how close it is, meaning your code itself, how close is it to the actual machine language? To zeros and ones, meaning binary codes, right? So in assembly language, although it's not written entirely in zeros and ones, it's written in some really very simple words that is also very hard to combine and join to make a statement. So if you were to add two numbers together in assembly, it will take about four or five lines of code just to do that. Because you have to move one number to a register, add another one and do a additional subtraction and then you have to clear the register and move things back. So the sequence is very, very tedious, but it does it in a way that when you run it, it's really fast, right? Because it's so close to machine code that you don't have to do much to convert those code to the actual zeros and ones. So it's really very fast, but it's just really hard to type into right, okay? So that computer scientists created new ways to do that and they create high level languages so that these high level languages are written in, you know, English words that we can easily associate with, we can understand better and also because we have very, you know, low capacity and memorization so that, you know, we use what are called variables to store data that will actually point to a location and memory, computer memory that will actually contain the zeros and ones, right? So because the high level, when you run your program, they have to compile or convert it to the actual binary code so that the computer can understand and run. As a result, when we go from the high level down to the low level to the machine code, it takes some extra time and because of that, it is actually much slower than the low level languages, okay? So that is the downside, but I think these days can be just really fast because, you know, with the advancement of new technologies, faster CPUs, it's almost like as fast as machine, low level languages. And so most of the languages are high level and then we have here everything in the blue box outside of the orange box, okay? Inside the blue box here, outside the orange box here are called or some strongly typed or statically typed languages, okay? And then everything inside this orange box here are the weekly typed languages. Again, does anybody know what those two terms mean? What do they mean by weekly typed and strongly typed? Well, those of you who have Python background should know, right? Okay, so in a nutshell, the strongly typed languages, it means that before you can use a variable, we'll talk about that later, to store data, you have to declare what type of data that variable have to store, right? Can store, otherwise you can't use it. So if you have a bucket, right? This bucket must contain water that it can only contain water, right? You cannot put like rocks in there or something like that. That is what's called a strongly typed language. So like in Java, for example, if you want to create a variable called age and the age is going to store only integer, then you have to specify that age will contain integer only and you cannot change that in the future, okay? So that is a strongly typed language. As opposed to the weekly type or sometimes called the dynamically typed languages, these you don't have to specify the type because the type will be assigned based on the values that they store. So if you have a variable called, let's say a pet, so usually we think of pet is a social with an animal or some sort and we can say pet equals cat, right? So that is a string of that type. Or we can also, you know, say pet is equal to five, you know, anytime along the way, it doesn't really matter because you can change their value anytime you want to assign to the same variable name. And so in that way, you don't have to say that, okay, pet must be an animal. It could be a number, it could be an object, it could be nothing, right? Any time in your program. And that's why they are weekly typed languages. And so Python falls under this category, okay? So we have here Python like PHP and JavaScript and Ruby's and several others as well is a weekly type language is also a high level and is a general purpose language. And there are many other characteristics which I'm not able to put in here. You have a multi-layer or dimensions here. And Python is also case sensitive, as you will learn. So computer languages are classified under two classifications called compile language and interpreted language. But sometimes called a scripting language. So Python is an interpreted language. So if you look at this workflow here, you'll see that on the left box is where you write your actual source code, your Python code or your Java code, it doesn't matter. And then so the first one here is compiler, compile language. This will be like a C, C plus plus and Java, visual basic and things like that. So when you write your code, you need a program to compile, okay? Meaning to convert your actual text of code into machine code, okay? So you need a compiler here. And it does that by reading every single character, every single line of statements in your code and it convert that to machine code. So this is what I mentioned earlier that high-level languages need to compile down and transpile, it's like translating it to compile into machine code so the machine can understand.  So you're gonna get in the end here an additional file or files, what's called an executable file, okay? So in Java and see, in Java would be another dot Java file. And then in C plus plus or C should be get a dot ex ex executable file that you run and it will run until you actually delete, right? So here in the interpreted languages, you have in between just an interpreter, although this is not entirely true, you still have a compiler within the interpreter here, but mainly just interpreter that outputs the result out here. Now the difference between the two is that in the compile languages, okay, what it does is that when you run your code, the compiler will compile all your source code at the same time, all at once and convert everything into machine code assuming that there are no errors in your code and you get a single output file on the end, okay?  It's already finished. So at that point it's really fast at the time. The only time that it takes is to compile your code. As opposed to the interpreter language like Python, you have your source code here. If the interpreter here, it also compiles it but it compiles to a virtual machine that exists within Python itself and that virtual machine, they will talk to the underlying system. So that's why Python is a program that can run on any machine just like Java is because of that virtual machine that talks to the underlying system. But the neat thing about this is that it will execute one line at a time and output that for you, okay? So it does not have to compile everything all at once and give you one output at the end. So it goes as you compile and interprets it, it translates it and it renders it at the same time. So if there's an error in your code somewhere and one line of code is has an error, it will pause at that point. It will not continue on until you fix that line. So if you have script with JavaScript, same thing. If you miss one line of code that has an error then the rest of the code will not be executed because again, it's interpreting one line at a time, okay? As opposed to the compile, if you have run through this program, then the compiler will catch all the errors in your program and it will sped up all of the errors at once at the end for you so you can know where all the errors are. So that is a slight difference between the two here. And this is also why like JavaScript is interpreted language is also why it's used for web pages because websites needs to change almost instantaneously every second that a visitor comes to the page, right? You don't, it doesn't have to recompile, build, execute, or file and run again at the end. It just takes too much time to do that, okay? So there's always a pros and cons between the two types of languages, what you want to do with it. So I just want to show you that one there and you scroll down here a little bit. They have a nice table kind of give you the differences between the two types of languages.


So good afternoon everyone and welcome. This is Melissa on with the stock switch and reviewing target. What a really nice move This has had in the gap and then on the live day I'm showing a lot of strength here at a certain point in the morning I realized this would go to 125 and it did in fact it went past that it went up high of the day here then this was in the morning was 126 so 6 and this is continuing to go I mean I it's very early really here if you think about it because we have an hour and a half left in the Day and this is nearing the highs again, so this could hit the absolute dream numbers I mean this really did hit the dream numbers today though But it could hit even more bigger dream numbers now Here into the clothes because I don't think this goes anywhere, but higher at this point here now today now again It's got to get over 126 with some some flurry some momentum But if it does 127 128 and again, it just depends on how this acts with in reference to the market So market is lifting here as I expected plan of action for Target is Wait and see how this acts here at the high Lots and lots and lots of trades called in this today Options trades day trades some people are in some some people got out of some some people have some some people Got out of everything some people are in everything. I mean again Just all around nice call-and-target and everyone should have made money in this today The one interesting thing I will say though is that I I was I took a long time this morning Figuring out what strikes to call this for the options letter because I wasn't sure exactly how it would set up so I I really thought hard about the strikes and I thought it would scoop around and do a scoop and That's what it did. So I I was glad that I ended up calling the strikes in a way that I did this But anyways, it went to every number. It's going to every number. This looks really really good So we'll see where this goes from here. Good luck everyone that is still in the target and Again, it's only 230. So really that's not that's early. We've got an hour and a half left before the close Good luck everyone Target was a really nice call in here today Bullish gap up if you're interested interested in the next golden gap course email me at Melissa at the stock swish com The last class for the year is December 14th and 15 And if you're interested in just signing up for the options newsletter, you can do that at any time There's no prerequisites. It's 59 90 90 year. Have a great day, everyone
