Thank you so much please be seated. Well, this is my story, this is my song, praising my Jesus all the day long. How may? Forty-five years have passed by. I started off when I was 21 years old, walked out of my home with a shoulder bag with tracks and my Bible. Never knew what I was supposed to do, never had a clue what I could do. I wondered why God called me.   He messed it all up, threw me out of my house, out of the streets. Amen. And literally I lived on the streets. I slept in front of shops in the night. Didn't have a place to go. I used to walk about 15, 20 miles every day. Not that I like walking. I didn't have the few pennies to pay for my bus fare. And I used to go without food for, for five days. My greatest miracle in those days was, was something to eat. And so I just wondered why did he call me? I could have been better off if I had the job that I could have had some money and he could have had some money. It seemed like we both were broke. So here we are. God kept on telling me, I called you to evangelize the nation of India. It's just nagging me. And I said, okay, stop, stop, I heard you.  I started to do some research and then I found out that I live in a country of complex nature. It was a nation of nations. You know, in 1976, we had only 620 million people. Today we've got 1.25 billion people. We speak 22 major languages. It is not a dialect because we've got over 1,000 dialects.    So what do you do? And this was a country and God was telling me, go and evangelize the nation of India. And I had nothing, no money, and what do you do? But he was nagging so much, let me do something. So I decided to have a street meeting.  You have to my age to understand that. The young people don't know. You pump the gas and the mantle close. It's a pretty decent and cheap deal. So that was my crusade. And the good thing about India is no matter what you do, about 200, 300 people come around wanting to see what you're doing. So you don't have a problem to get people. You don't need to stand on your head to do that. So they all came and I did not much to say from the Bibles.  So I'll call out to the people to come for prayer. And that's the only thing that I knew.  So we did not tell the people to come for healing for prayer and all that. So this is an instant crowd right around me at the street. So you don't expect many hard sick people, okay? So you are thinking if there is any kind of sickness, it could be just a headache or a toothache, maybe a pimple on their face, you know, something like that. So that's what you expect. And as I was waiting for some to come and suddenly a guy was bringing another guy holding his hands, walking towards me and I'm thinking, why is he holding his hands? Why can't he walk on his own? And as he got closer, realized he was a blind man. And I said to God, no, this is not on. No, this is not the deal. When I'm asking for prayer, this has to be something easy. You know, you don't do that to a guy who has never prayed for any sick person before. And you don't bring a blind man to start with.  I said, okay, I did, but not you really, you know. So what do you do? So all right, let just me do anything. So I laid hands on his both eyes, squeezed his as hard as I can, you know. And I prayed. I said, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I command this eyes to be opened. And I took my hands off and he said, I can see, I can see. I said, you can't see. He shouldn't see. But he can see. Well, I said, it worked. He just opened the eyes of this guy. God set him free. And I've never looked back. Am I? Hallelujah. Next day, I'm having the same meeting, right? And as I was praying and I preaching, and a lady got up from the back and she started running like a hundred meters race. You know, she's running. And I'm thinking to myself, I did not say anything bad about their guards. I did not offend them. Why is she running so close to me? What does she want to do? She's screaming and running. And as she came closer, she just crashed on the floor, like a crash landing of a plane. And she's screaming and she said something like this, Jesus, leave me alone. And I'm thinking, I'm not Jesus. So what is she calling out to? Then I remembered, in the Bible, I have read that the people or demon persons are calling out to Jesus like this. So then I thought, maybe she's demon possessed. So I should try. I should ask the demon to come out.   And sure enough, to my great surprise, the demon came out. Amen? So I became a healer and a deliverer of all the demons and everything in two days with no expenses, just all free. And that ministry is what you heard has grown from zero to 4,500 churches today. Amen? And so many other things. I take care of 17 orphanages, hundreds of children. We take care of orphan children. And we got sewing schools for destitute women, more than 70 sewing schools. So at any given day, more than 1000 women are taught to sew in all through our sewing schools. And you saw the schools. And the latest one was, of course, the school that was built. You saw the building just finished. And we got about four or 50 children ready to go to school in the radiant school in India. And they will start their school next month in July. Amen? So there we go. God has been so good. And I was sitting with Pastor Lee a few months ago and I talked about the school, the building coming up and all that. And I said to him in between all that, I said, you know, I think that you should build another school. And he looked at me. He didn't say, no, that's a good sign. And so he nodded his head and he said, where do you want to build it? Well, I've got plenty of places to do that. So I said, well, you should think about it and we are praying. So I put a word to him. So please remind him that we need to build a school in India. Will you do that for me? That'll be a great thing. Hallelujah. And I want you to know radiant churches built three orphanage buildings and two school buildings, apart from buying bicycles, apart from buying sewing machines and all that, that you have done. Just like Pastor John was saying, you know, this is the only place in this country I read it was written in the village. I've never read that in any other place. You know, Richland is a village. I thought it was a city. You know, so anyway, so but you have done such an amazing work for us in India. The only thing is we are not finished yet. So you are not done yet. Amen. Continue to pray and believe God with us and let us do some great work for the work in India. Well, I've been asking people to pray for a change of government, if you recall, because the, the prime minister was a very anti-Christian man. And after he came to power five years ago, we have had so many persecutions and pastors being killed. And so we wanted him to go. So we all were praying. We have prayed like never before in a thousand, tens of thousands of Christians, whether we all prayed and guess what? He won with a bigger majority this time. And he came to power two weeks ago. And we are thinking maybe we should never pray again. You know, this is not a good deal. And we thought he'll be gone, but he is there for another five years. So we don't know why he wants to change the constitution. He wanted to make Christianity illegal. He would like to do all those things, but he can't do anything without our Jesus, can he? Amen.  And I looked up and I saw this is what was written on a board in front of the church. And it said something like this, no matter who your prime minister is, Jesus is always the king. You like that? I said, well, here we go. Amen. We don't care who the prime minister is, but Jesus is still always the king. Amen. And he can take care of us and he can lead us. And we believe that with all our hearts. And God lead us and guide us. Amen. We got one of our pastors killed. He became a martyr for Jesus Christ, leaving his wife and three children behind. They shot him dead and I rushed to the place.  And she looked at me and she said, no pastor, I don't want to go. I wanted to stay back here and continue the work that God has given to my husband and myself. He has gone to be with the Lord, but I want to continue the work. So please allow me to stay here. So there she is with her children, continuing the ministry, the same place where husband became a martyr. Well, I, of course, I support them and I take care of them and I want the people to protect that family. And there they are working for the Lord. Amen. So that is on one side, on the eastern side of India, somebody died for Jesus Christ. And on the western side of India, in one of the churches that I have, a man got ill and he's very sick and to death and they took him to the hospital and there he died in the hospital.  And the wife said, no, no, no, no, don't cover his face. Just leave him alone because he's coming back. So the doctor looked at that thing and well, it's a little crazy. It's okay. She's sad. So he left her and walked away. And she said, word to my pastor saying, come quickly. I need you. So pastor rushed to the place. After two hours, he got to the hospital. He was thinking that he was supposed to pray for the man.  But by the time he got here, the wife looked at him and smiled and she said, I was waiting for you. I said, great, what? My husband died about three hours ago.   When somebody dies, we bury the person. And he's asking us that somebody is just sleeping. He says, raise him up. So I didn't want to offend her. So I said, I was going to pray a small prayer so that, you know, she'll be happy and nothing's going to happen. Then we'll take the dead body and bury him. So as I started to pray these lousy prayer and in the middle of that, I felt this woman has got the faith to see her husband come back to life. And here is the pastor. And what am I doing? So I said, I put my hands heavy on the on the dead body and I started praying with all the faith that I can sense. The Lord, here is the wife and me. We are agreeing together. And I pray in the name of Jesus, this man should come back to life. And I command you to rise up. And the next thing, the dead body rose up and sat on the bed. Amen. So they packed up their bags and went home. Amen. On one side, somebody became a martyr. On the other side, there Jesus raised somebody once from the dead. Amen. He's all Jesus, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Amen. Hallelujah. You know, I was in the, in the, in your Grand Rapids Airport about, about four, four months ago.  So I'm used to that. So this general man was looking at me and I was looking at him. I thought maybe one of those people. And then I went to the restroom and I came out and this time he was standing just outside the restroom and he was looking at me and he said, excuse me. I said, yes. He said, have you ever been to the radiant church in, in Richland? I said, yes, I have a few times. And he said, I go to that church. I said, wonderful. And he said, you happen to be the missionary from India. That's what I am, sir. So we started talking to each other. He talked about the work and all that. And then he said, you, you always ask about the bikes. You want to have bikes for the, for the pastors. I said, of course we, we need more than 300 bikes. And he smiled and in between he put his hand in his pocket and he pulled out a bunch of money and he gave me a thousand dollars in cash. And he gave it to me and he said to me, you know, I wanted to go and buy some bicycles. I said, thank you so much. And I'm thinking, well, he got raced him up and brought him to the, to the airport to give me some money to buy the bicycle. So what is the model of the story for everyone of you? If you ever see me at the airport, don't even look at me. Pretend that you don't know me and walk away from me. Because if you happen to come and say hi, it's going to cost all your money. And we are going to turn that into bicycles. So there you go. Hallelujah. God is a good God. Continue to pray for us and do whatever you can so we can reach the nation of Jesus Christ, for the Lord Jesus Christ, India. Amen. Got a little bit of a thing to preach. Is it okay with you? Huh? Or are you already tired of me? Well, if you are, well, too bad. I'm going to say it anyway because this is the last service. So nobody is going to show me signs, you know, to quit. And then it'll become like the signs and wonders ministry. The pastor sits there and makes all the signs. And I'll stand here and start wondering what's going on. Okay. So here we go. I wanted to share with you a message that I believe is a message for every one of us today is what I will call to be able to hear a new sound. A new sound is coming. And we should have the ears to hear the sound the Lord wants to bring it to our lives. Amen. First Kings chapter 18 verse 41. We read like this. And then Elijah said to Ahab, go up and eat and drink for there is the sound of an abundance of rain. So that's my message for you friends. I believe the Lord is wanting to bring an abundance of rain into the life of every one of us here today. Amen. When the story begins here, this is the time there was no rain for three and a half years. Famine dryness is all because of a wicked king by name Ahab. He and his wife, Jezebel, have messed up the whole country of Israel. And because of that, when you read in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28, it talks about the blessings of people when we follow the Lord and obey His commandments about from verse one to 15. And then when you go further, it talks about the courage that comes upon people who will commit sin and turn their back on God.  So that's what happens.  It became a brace in heaven. And the earth has become iron. You cannot do anything. Nothing it will bring out to us. And that's because of the sin of man. It's the sin of Ahab and Jezebel. And the Bible says that Jezebel killed about so many prophets of God. And she has got all these ball, the prophets of bulb in her palace. Things are going so bad. And three and a half years, the God has punished the nation without any rain.  And God tells Elijah, I'm going to bring rain to the land. Amen? And that's a good news I want to share with you today. God is going to bring rain into our lives. Amen? A land of darkness. Friends, we are living in a world that is full of darkness today. What is going on in this play? What is going on among the people, the laws of the country, the governments? What is happening? We are living in the most perverse nations, perverse world that we have ever known. Nothing has gone wrong this way ever before. And this is what we are seeing, dryness, spiritual famine, even physical famine, darkness everywhere. There's no rain. It's dry all over the place. And I believe that when we are going through these situations like this on and off in between, God will raise a hero. God will raise heroes to come up and speak his word and bring rain into the place that is so much of in need. Amen? And I believe with all my heart today that we have been raised as the heroes in this darkest time of this universe. I believe that the church is the only hope for this world. How many of you believe that? Do you know that you are the only hope for this world? What will happen to this world if we are not here? If there is no church in this world today, what will be the condition of this world? It'll be absolutely messed up. It's already messed up. It'll be destroyed. But God is having mercy upon this world because of a group of men and women crying before God, wanting to live a godly life, wanting to walk in his ways. That is why we are the heroes that God is looking at.  Amen? Are you happy with that? You look so serious. You know, I'm thinking, what am I saying? Am I saying the bad things here? You know, well, if you feel like that, I'm going to say it anyway. Amen? God has called you and me to be the hero, to bring change into this world. If any change is going to happen, it's going to be because of you. It's going to be because of me. Amen? So he called all the people and he said to them, we are going to put to test today who is the living god. And the plan was about 450, you know, the prophets of Baal and Elijah all alone on the other side. The plan is they should build the altar and put the sacrifice of the bull cut into pieces and call out to God to bring the fire to consume the sacrifice. That was the plan. So he said, because you guys are too many, why don't you do it first and then I'll do it later.  And this is the time for Elijah. And the Bible says Elijah built the altar that was broken. You know, that's the beginning of bringing God's power and God's glory. You build the altar, you repair the altar that needs to be built again. And I believe that we need to do in our lives because some of our altars are broken along the way of a walk with the Lord. And we had to ask us today, what are the altars that I need to build in my life? You had to ask us, what about my altar of my prayer life? What about the altar of my spending time with God? What is the altar of me meditating God's word? What is the altar of me by giving to God so many altars? What are they? If that is broken, it's time for us to rebuild it because God is getting ready to bring the fire down and consume the sacrifice that we put before him today. Amen? He put the sacrifice and the fire came and it just consumed, burned the sacrifice, just took everything out. And Elijah killed all those prophets of Baal. And now he comes to the king and he says, hey, I hear a sound. Amen? I wonder whether you hear the sound today. It is not an ordinary sound. It is a sound of an abundant rain. Amen? A sound that is going to make all the difference for you and me. A sound that is going to bring rain into the dryness.  The Lord is saying it's time that I'm about to bring an abundant rain upon your life. Amen? Do you want an abundant rain? Or would you like to live in the dryness for the next three and a half years? What would you like? Would you like that abundant rain? Because I want you to hear the sound. The sound is coming. I can hear that. My spiritual ears is hearing there's something happening in the heavenlies. Something is happening. The brace and door is opening. Something is happening because the Lord is about to pour the rain upon every one of your life. Amen? Hallelujah. He sent the king and he went to Mount Carmel and he's just starting to pray. Put his head between his legs and pray. And in the prayer, he said to his disciple, I wanted to go towards the sea and see if there is anything happening on the sky. Do you see any clouds? He goes there once, twice, three, five times. Nothing is happening. He said, no, nothing, Master. He said, go again. On the seventh time, seven speaks about perfection. Seven speaks about God's timing. And you keep on doing it until God is about to move. Don't stop on the fifth time. Don't stop even at the sixth time. Go on the seventh time because things are going to change. Amen? And on the seventh time, he saw right on the right and he saw a little cloud in the size of the fist of a hand of a man. He said, that's all I can see. That's okay with you? I saw that.  Amen? God's abundant rain is about to come through the little things that we see. There's a thing that is so insignificant for you and me, but I want you to know that God is God is miracle. That is all packed up in that, in that small cloud and that is about to become a torrential rain that you and I are looking for in our life. Amen? Hallelujah. God is going to bring a rain into your life. That's my message for you all the way from India. God is going to take the dryness of your life. God is going to take away the problems in your life.  Amen? Hallelujah. That's what God wants to do. Isaiah says here in his book in the book of Isaiah chapter 60, there he says, a light and shine for the light has come. Amen? Darkness is going to go. Light is going to come. And Isaiah says, time for you to rise up and shine because the glory of the Lord will be revealed in this world. Amen? The glory of the Lord is going to be revealed in your life, in my life, and that's what he's going to do. I believe with all my heart, the Lord is going to send an amazing revival in this land, in this world, in these last days. Amen? I have an anti-Christian government. I got an anti-Christian prime minister. They wanted to shut us down, but I believe you might try to do anything, but I see a revival. I see the people of God moving in the miraculous in the land of India. We're going to bring millions and millions of people into the kingdom of God because I hear the rain coming. I hear the rain for the revival is coming. I hear the rain coming into the land of America. I believe the Lord is going to do whatever you have seen. It is nothing compared to what God is going to do for you in the coming days. Amen? Get ready. Get ready for the mighty revival. Get ready for the abundant rain. Amen? And let me read verse five. You will like that. It is in chapter 60 Isaiah verse five says, then you shall see and become radiant. I thought you would like that. Right? You will become radiant and your heart shall swell with joy. Amen? Hallelujah. What happened in the beginning of the church of Jesus Christ? What happened in the day of Pentecost? What happened when they were waiting in one accord, waiting for the promise of the Father to come? What happened in chapter two of the book of Acts? We read in verse two like this. As they were waiting, there was a sound from heaven. Amen? And not only just the sound, it was turned into a mighty wind and the wind blew into that upper room where they were all waiting. And then they started seeing. They heard the sound words and then they saw this amazing global tanks of fire and they came and sat upon every one of them. Amen? And they started to speak in tongues that they have never spoken before. And something happened to the church that day. Something happened through the sound from heaven. Something happened through the cloven tanks of fire. What happened was their lives were transformed. That Peter was never the same again. John was never the same again. Even the doubting Thomas was not never the same again. He got to that little tiny sailboat. He traveled all the way, came to the land called India, and he walked in there with a message of the Lord Jesus Christ.  They changed the world. And here we are about to change the world one more time. You ready for that? Stand with me. Let's pray together. Stand with me, my dear friends. Do you hear the sound? In which area of your life you need a rain? Today is your day. Today is your day, friends. In any area of your life, God is about to pour his rain. He's going to take away the dryness. He's going to take away the sickness. He's going to take away the poverty. He's going to take away the struggle on your financial situation. He's going to take away the problems and he is going to pour his rain upon the dryness and he's going to bring changes into your life today. You ready for that? You want the rain to come? You want the rain to flow upon your life? You want to walk out from here not dry anymore but drenched in this rain. Ready for that? Lift up your hands towards heaven. Let us pray together. Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus. I pray for my brothers and sisters today, Lord. Thank you for your rain. We are sick and tired of being in dryness. We are tired of being in the famine, Lord. We are tired of being sick. Lord, we pray that the rain come upon us, Lord. That the rain of healing. That the rain of abundance. That the rain of deliverance. That the rain of prosperity. That will come upon everyone of the people who are today, Lord. And I pray your blessing will come upon them and that you will touch everyone, Lord.  I command people to be healed from their sickness, Lord. I see today the Lord is touching about three people. The Lord is healing your back. You have been struggling with the back problem for the last several months of the Lord is touching and healing you today. I see the Lord touching someone who has been struggling with the liver problem. I see the Lord touching and healing you today. I see the rain. I see the rain coming and flowing into the life of people. In Jesus' name, I bless everyone, Lord. Bless the church, Lord. Bless my dear friend Pastor Lee and his team. Bless Jane, Lord. Bless the anointing who will be upon her body and upon her life, Father. We give you the glory. We give you the honor.  In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you.


What's up, how are you guys this weekend?  I eat what my body craves or I eat according to what I happen the fridge Let's just get straight to breakfast because I mean we're not off to a great start when your shirt says recycle You know Like what kind of mentality? You know we did the burger views on best burger views probably a year or two ago now and those Burger buns Kings Hawaiian from like a cost effectiveness perspective are actually pretty good, but I Don't know why she titled this homemade Korean meals Because I have a feeling it's not gonna be that traditionally Korean Is it a little ironic when you have like perfectly manicured nails, you know, maybe you spent I don't know how much Manicures are now, but you know, imagine if that money went into the food quality instead She's using chopsticks all is forgiven if she can use chopsticks like that. I Get it, bro.  So The benefit is that you know, she has at least animal nutrition in the meal Even though it's low quality conventional probably full of chemicals and the protein content isn't too high She is getting a very calorically dense meal, you know, so she's feeding her gut microbiome with starch carbohydrates But again, it's it's all conventional low quality agrochemical fill to it. You know, she's got and Jemima I didn't see the brand but that's like fake maple syrup, you know, she doesn't have real maple syrup She has low quality ingredients. So, you know That being said it cost it's probably three to four or five times the price to get the quality ingredients Which would actually make this healthy Now we don't need to go down the list of it's just gonna be a lot of negative chemicals And then whatever was sprayed on the crops of these foods But the actual food choices themselves of like bread bananas cream butter those are okay the gold knife and fork Well, if this isn't a fed I don't know what is you get some pretty Korean girl with a gold knife and fork To eat stands an American conventional crap wearing a recycle shirt. All right. Um, this one's throwing me for a loop Maybe like a mediocre diner, I agree Oat milk and carton coffee It's been about two hours since I had breakfast. So now I'm having snacks. I have gummies rice crackers There's no way this is actually what she eats for what Why is this video titled homemade Korean meals and you're breaking out sour gummies and Madeline's and talkies Okay, all right to be fair that's somewhat Asian right For lunch today, I'm gonna make Chan Chi Guksu, which is don't tell me to recycle bro I bought I bought four different color-coded very expensive large garbage bins from my house Only to find out that the jurisdiction I'm in the area I'm in They don't actually separate the garbage. They just collect everything in in one load And then they separate it at the at the garbage plant.  I had I had my different color-coded bins. I was ready But now I just throw everything in one one bin the color doesn't matter Korean noodle dish Chan Chi translates to a feast or like a banquet So it's usually served at like weddings or any like celebratory occasions But it's one of my favorite noodle dishes and it's super duper simple to make it takes like probably less than 10 minutes So let's make our Chan Chi Guksu I'm gonna add in a broad maker I don't know why she would take water from the fridge instead of a faucet. I mean The water might be a little colder and but the filtration system in a typical fridge isn't going to make Really any significant difference in the water quality So It's an awfully yellow cucumber. Is that a zucchini squash? What'd she say that was?  You have a little bit of vegetables for fiber I would consider this, you know, with the exception of of the poor food quality and excellent balanced meal so Can't complain too much you're getting protein you're getting starch you're getting fiber. That's what the body needs Now, yeah, the difference between using like the store-bought stuff versus corn and soy free pasture raised eggs Organic udon noodles organic vegetables changing up the vegetable choices You know making your own homemade stock using a less inflammatory one that that's what makes the difference between super healthy and normie The problem I have with like the the olipop and any sort of organic Can thing that's marketed as healthy We don't even have to talk about the ingredients and whatever potential preservatives or flavorings or chemicals are in the drink One it's in an aluminum can and two it's made with tap water That's enough for you to not drink it. So You know organic healthy It's it look water quality in aluminum can it's out the window out the window 100 out the window It's time to make some dinner I think i'm gonna make kimchi jjigae because I found this in my fridge This is like a super fermented kimchi and it's perfect for kimchi jjigae. So let's make some kimchi jjigae I have some pork ribs here that i'm gonna parbo the first just to get rid of the smell I'm gonna add a spoon of tenjeon and i'm gonna add some peppercorns For any of you uh crow magnon neanderthals, what are what are my realistic chances Of getting a Korean chick and was I right with my initial assumptions that you know I gotta be like a little more, you know northern european looking and about half of a taller I think we might be able to work something out. Maybe I need to straighten my hair too I wasn't paying attention. I think i'm gonna make kimchi jjigae. Let's make some kimchi jjigae I have some pork ribs here that i'm gonna parbo the first just to get rid of the smell I'm gonna add a spoon of tenjeon and i'm gonna add some peppercorns Yo, who's in the background? I'm gonna add a spoon of tenjeon and i'm gonna add some peppercorns. I think it's our mom It's definitely Korean I mean Koreans are known for having like a lot of animal protein in their diet It's part of the reason they're they're healthy and they look better And they're taller than most of the other Asians. I didn't see what that was Yeah, again, this is what I was thinking of like healthy balanced Korean meals with a variety of foods She made some type of like pork soup, which is as Korean as it gets with like pork ribs kimchi gochujang and tofu if like You went into a Korean market as like a non-asian person and got told to make a Korean I mean you might actually pick out those few ingredients She put another omelet in there. So a lot of animal protein I didn't see what those those slices of brown stuff are. Maybe it's some type of fermented tofu or something or soybean, but you know, there is tofu in the pork concoction she made and omitting the soy Is probably for the best even though you you might be able to argue that there are some Preparations of soy products that aren't as bad I feel like people might find this weird, but this is made from like acorn powder like literal acorns It doesn't really have a taste it's more of like so so acorn powder Is probably an excellent source of fiber So an excellent source of starch and fiber to balance that meal out in that it wasn't anything soy The texture of it is just a very soft texture kind of like soft tofu in a way But the sauce is what makes it good I mean this is Really really an excellent meal and this is why again Koreans are some of the healthiest people they have very balanced diets That are high in animal protein, you know white rice starch source excellent Acorn powder brick thing excellent source of fiber some eggs or some more animal protein She's got pork ribs for animal protein. I mean I would say the potential negative of a meal like this is The gochujang the chili paste and like in the kimchi it's like red powders and a lot of spices that are high in flavonoids and carotene and stuff that's bad for your liver however You know when you've been eating this much animal protein your whole life And you develop properly and your organs are properly sized that type of stuff is Is not that big of a deal It doesn't have as much of an impact on a healthy person as it does and not a healthy person If you're wondering our polo is he's been sitting at Matt's house because he peed on my mom's bed He didn't even pee once he peed four times So he's kind of been banned from my house for a little while, but I've been able to eat in peace, which is really nice I like that she has some old school values like I feel like a liberal white girl in New York if Their dog peed on their mom's bed. They would just They'd blame the mom or something where the Korean girl she kicked that dog out. That was that was the right thing to do Anyway Outside of that curve ball of a breakfast I think this Again, like comparing it to a stands in america diet what the average person is eating This is super super healthy now, you know, you want to live to 120 Yeah, then you're gonna have to go to the farm get the pasture raised eggs Do everything organic homemade that that's the difference here that that's the that's the main significant difference here But uh Well, you know, we kind of saw what I was hoping to show you guys that that koreans have balanced amounts of almost similar to my diet where I try to have Protein starch and fiber with every meal and the presence of fermented foods is also very very important. So Maybe we can uh, we can finally get some Frankie syringe meat merchandise like shirts and send her one That's not out of the realm of possibilities, but thank you guys for joining me Hopefully you enjoyed this if you have any videos or anything you'd like me to watch or recommend a review Uh, just let me know down in the comments below outside of that Uh, you can go to frank dash the farm or you can support me through all of my unique and interesting businesses where I try to provide you guys with affordable high quality health products you know, we have like sauerkraut and Pickles and jargonera all lacto fermented now available on frankie syringe foods.com We have a variety of starches on the foods website as well. So You know similar things to to what we see here You could probably actually get all of these foods that she's eating and in higher quality versions And and make meals out of that through the Frankie syringe meat and Frankie syringe foods website but Thanks again guys If you can drop a like on the video leave a comment down below Make sure to subscribe and check that notification bell and I guess we should check the comments real quick before we go, right? Yeah.  I guess when you make You know food videos like this or day of eating is where You know, you're not pushing any nutrition stuff or have any specific diet. It's kind of hard to critique, but I'll see you guys soon


Welcome to Texas Heart Institute Educational Programs on Innovative Technologies and Techniques. The purpose of these presentations is to inform and educate the physicians, allied medical personnel, and the general public on the latest advances in cardiovascular medicine. I'm your host, my name is Von Merkrager. I'm an Interim Cardiologist at Texas Heart Institute and Baylor CHI Medical Center and Clinical Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and immediate past president of the International Society of Endovascular Specialists. The topic of this presentation is rational evolution and the results of fast-track endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm or EVAR and endovascular repair of thoracic aortic aneurysm or TIVAR. The question is, is this approach becoming a new standard of care? Now, as far as disadvantage of surgery or concern for EVAR and TIVAR, the great majority of patients will require the use of general anesthesia, the procedure is time-consuming, it is painful after surgery, and also there is a higher risk of infection. We have to face the reality, technology has significantly changed and continues to drive toward less invasive solutions for TIVAR and EVAR. Lower profile devices are now available and are associated with higher success rate and fewer complications than 20 or 30 years ago. We also have to take into consideration patient satisfaction and what is also very important, payers and hospitals demand better resource utilization and demand to find a way to reduce the cost of the procedure. So, how can we decrease morbidity and mortality and the cost of these procedures? One approach would be fast-track EVAR and TIVAR. Now, what is the feasibility of fast-track EVAR and TIVAR? There are numerous publications that address this particular issue and here are some of them that have been already reported in the literature. Fast-track EVAR is being adopted for elective open-infra-renal abdominal aortic acid repair which offers shorter ICU stay and shorter hospital stay and reduced mortality. There is also information as far as the risk appropriate in hospital mortality is concerned following 132,000 elective EVARs at 100,002 and 7 hospitals is as low as 0.7% which is dramatically lower than in early studies with EVAR and TIVAR. The lateral PVAR and local anesthesia offers 94% treatment success and shorter hospital stay of 1.3 days and 0.6% 30-day mortality as we have published this in a previous study. Also, short stay EVAR offers patients to achieve early discharge in an established protocol that is accepted nowadays in most of the institutions. So, what is the premise of fast-track EVAR and TIVAR? We know that traditional EVAR and TIVAR requires femoral artery exposure and repair surgically. Frequently there is a need for general anesthesia due to discomfort. The patients are routinely admitted to intensive care unit and typically the length of stay is between 2 and 3 days. All of those procedures increase perioperative morbidity and contribute to the overall cost of the procedure. So, what is the premise of fast-track EVAR and TIVAR? Well, the most important thing is that the procedure should be performed via percutaneous access to avoid complications of surgical access and repair. There is no need for general anesthesia. Typically it's done with local anesthesia and concious sedation. There is no need for ICU stay. The patients can be admitted to a regular floor and typically they are discharged the following day after the procedure in order to improve patient outcomes, patient satisfaction, and health care resource utilization. Now, to achieve that goal, percutaneous large-ware closure has evolved to prevent the risk of surgery and one of their earlier devices was Prostar XL which is a 10-french braided, suture-mediated vascular closure device. This device has been extensively studied and published by many investigators in single-center studies and is approved in European Union for large bore femoral artery closure but it's still not approved in the United States for this particular application. What's very important is that one device can be used for access closure all the way to 20 for French. Now, another device that is commercially available and approved for large bore closure is ProGlide which is a 6-french suture-mediated monofilament vascular closure device. Obviously this device is lower in profile. It is very frequently used for diagnostic and interventional procedures and the operators are very familiar with this particular device. This device is approved in the United States for large bore femoral artery closure all the way to 21 French OD diameter devices. We have published our early experience with the use of Prostar for large bore closure with very high success rate and also we have shown the technique and the results of the use of pre-close technique for femoral artery aneurysm repair and also for the endovascular repair of abdominal aneurysm using ProGlide device. Now, to prove the concepts of results of this particular technique so-called percutaneous technique with a pre-close technique using ProGlide we have carried on a multi-center prospective randomized trial of percutaneous EVAR versus surgical femoral artery repair so-called PVAR trial. The technical success using ProGlide for this particular use was 94%. When we look at the results of this particular trial looking at major ipsilateral access side vascular complications in 30 days we can see that ProGlide offered only 6% complications or vascular complications in comparison with CVAR that had a 10% incidence of vascular complications which was significantly different. In addition to that PVAR with the ProGlide shortens the procedure in comparison with CVAR and time to hemostasis was also significantly shorter with PVAR than with CVAR and this was published on several occasions in different journals and here we can see the results of those publications related to the PVAR trial results. Now, our personal results with fast-track EVAR that started in 1996 and we looked at our results from 1996 to 2015 2,183 EVAR procedures performed during that period of time and PVAR procedures were performed in 2010 patients. As we can see the fast-track from 1997 to 2014 was performed in 78% of patients but more recently since 2000 so it means for the last 19 years 98% of patients underwent PVAR technique and fast-track protocol. As far as technical success is concerned using ProStar device the technical success was achieved in 97% of patients and with ProGlide the technical success rate was 96%. As far as need for blood transfusion it was low 2% of patients required blood transfusion either during or after the procedure and conversion to general anesthesia was very low and occurred in 0.1% of patients. Hospital mortality was low in all comers 0.3% for all patients including patients with serious comorbid conditions and access site infection was very low at 1%. Now as far as the least invasive fast-track EVAR protocol is concerned we carried on this particular study in so-called life registry. Life registry was done using a 14 French ovation StenGraft under fast-track EVAR protocol so this device is significantly lower in profile than any previously used devices in any of the EVAR clinical trials. The protocol required that the percutaneous femoral artery access and repair was performed with two ProGlide devices in so-called pre-closed fashion or at the beginning of the procedure. No general anesthesia was used no ICU admission was required and the patients were discharged the following day and here are the results of life registry fast-track EVAR using local anesthesia percutaneous approach and next day discharged. Successful bilateral PVAR with ProGlide was achieved in 97% of patients which was higher then in the PVAR trial where the technical success using ProGlide was 94% with a larger profile device with a 21 French OD. When we look at the other parameters as far as life registry is concerned we can see the major adverse events occurred in 0.4% of patients which was the lowest of any clinical trial that was carried on with any of the devices that are commercially available at the present time. Also from this trial the procedure time was dramatically shorter than in any published literature using EVAR devices and the hospital stay was the shortest 1.2 days and the ICU stay was none in this particular trial in comparison with the other publications related to EVAR. Also what is very important as far as the patient's outcomes are concerned quality of light improvement was significantly better in patients that had a successful fast-track EVAR is concerned and this was also published in the Journal of Endovascular Therapy in 2017. More recently we published the results of economic benefits of fast-track EVAR and we can see the patients that completed fast-track EVAR had a significantly lower hospital cost and reduction in the cost was roughly $4,000 per patient. When we compare the EVAR hospital readmissions in previously published studies and compare it with the life registry we can see that the need for unplanned 30-day readmission was dramatically lower in life registry it was 1.6% versus 7.9 and 8.1% in previously published studies and also as far as need for operation during the readmission was zero for life registry and it was significantly higher at 28% in previously published studies. So we can say that life readmission rate is 5 times less than contemporary EVAR reports. More recently we have also seen that there is a newer device that can be used for large foreclosure and this particular device is Manta by essential medical and more recently by teleflix. This device has been approved for clinical use for large foreclosure. We can see here Manta deployment animation. This device has over-the-wire design. It achieves hemostasis by sandwiching arteriatomy with polylactic coagulacolic acid intrarterial toggle and extra vascular bovine collagen plug that is sandwiched with two polyester suture and locked in place with stainless steel suture lock. There are two sizes available 14 French Manta that closes the access sites up to 18 French and larger 18 French Manta that closes the access sites all the way up to 25 French. As far as Manta, US ID, Pivotal Trial is concerned we can see here on the left-hand side the technique using ultrasound for gaining access measuring the depth and then advancing Manta device to close the access site post EVAR. So 18 French Manta was used in 84% of patients in this particular trial, which is a large Manta. The great majority or 80% of patients had a Tervor procedure and about 20% of patients had a PIVAR or TIVAR. As we can see, the time to hemostasis was short. It was achieved in less than one minute in 86% of patients and hemostasis was achieved in less than five minutes in 94% of patients. Technical success was 97.7%. The major vascular complications occurred in 4.2% of patients and minor vascular complications occurred in 2.7% of patients. So as far as the fast track EVAR and TIVAR is concerned we can see that this particular technique provides benefits across the whole healthcare delivery spectrum. There are numerous patients' benefits as listed here. It is a minimally invasive procedure. We can avoid general anesthesia complications. There is less blood loss. There are fewer growing complications. The patients experience less pain and the patients are offered quicker recovery time. There are also several physician benefits such as quicker procedure, no need for anesthesia and anesthesia delay. The patient satisfaction is greater and there is better efficiency. There are also numerous hospital benefits. The patient satisfaction is better. There is lower incidence of infection, lower cost of the hospitalization and the procedure. There is less need for blood transfusion and we have improved efficiency of patient care. Thank you very much for your attention.


Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with the stocks. What should I'm here today to review the market? Just wanted to take a look here. It's the holiday week. Gonna be slow trading, not a lot of volume in the market, but I really wanted to see what the market's doing today. So we closed Friday bearish. Actually, let's see where we closed. Well, we closed right on 200, barely hanging on to the support area from over here, which was $199.95 from the previous bounce on the 14th. We did gap up today. We're not flying through with it. That was obvious. The gap up today wasn't enough to get going. The only way we're gonna get up and going again here and out of this area is really to gap up and gap up out of it more than we did today, like significantly. I wouldn't really call this gap today significant. We did open $1.40 above the close from Friday, but that's not enough. Why? Because we've traded down hard, hard in the last, well, it was the last two days from last week, which was Thursday and Friday. Today is like neutral, but because we gapped up and we're falling and we're still holding, but really it's Thursday. And then the gap down, follow through continuation on Friday and the fall on Friday into the support that we gotta get around. And I'm not saying we have to gap up all the way to 209, but it'll be a really interesting to see the close of the year here. I mean, it will be extremely interesting to see how we actually close on the calendar year. Let me just find here the first day of the year again here. So we opened at 206.38. And it'll be interesting to see, it'll be interesting to see if we either gap up there or trade above that before the end of the calendar year. I think that that could happen. The idea of making another high before the end of the calendar year would be a dream target at this point now, given the way the markets acted last week on Thursday and Friday. And we could have very well done it. I mean, we had a nice bounce here into the FOMC minutes, which I predicted and we rallied on it and we should have followed through, but we didn't. And this gap was not really a gap to short and should have held us along, but very quickly did in the morning so then you couldn't have gone long yet. And it wasn't anything that I would have thought ever would have fallen like this. But when it did, we followed through Friday. Again, we were bearish on Friday. Today is just neutral, but it'll be interesting to see. Dream target is that we make a new high before the end of the year and I don't think that's likely now. We don't have enough days left and some of them are holidays, but we could close neutral on the year. It'll be interesting to see really how we act in the overall market before January 1st, well, 1221. So let's just look. The last trading day of the year actually is the calendar. Well, it is the 31st. The market will be up in half day. Although no one should really trade on that day, but it'll be interesting to see if the market can close neutral on the year as far as the actual close on the year. I'm talking about the spy. I'll review the cues maybe later today or tomorrow, but it will be interesting to see. We still could do that, but I believe 100% we have to gap up out of this area. We could do it in a series of gap ups like today, gap up tomorrow a dollar, gap up the next day a dollar. We could do it in a series of moves up, but in the ideal world, in the best case scenario, we have a large gap up in the market, a gap up to 204, 205 or 206 even. And then we rally. I still don't think that's gonna make us have a new high before the end of the year, but the market for whatever reason could not see the follow through on the FOMC minutes from Wednesday to Thursday. And when that happened then, with the very few days left in the year, I'm not sure how we end up closing on that calendar year. We have to get up to that 206 area to be able to even close with a neutral price in the year. The overall trend of the market though is still bullish. It absolutely is, but we're not getting the follow through in either direction actually. So it's interesting. We're not really getting the follow through higher. We're not really getting the follow through lower. We may not know the answers until January on this. So we may not know the answers until January on this exactly, but I will tell you that we're still in an uptrend. Any people would disagree with me, but we still are holding the uptrend. Follow through isn't it happening to the downside either, but the market isn't ready to move higher yet. I don't know if we will before the end of the year or not. This is Melissa Arm over the Stock Swoosh. Have a great day, everyone. Happy holidays. If you'd like more information on the stock market class, which is December 28th, and we'll talk very specifically then about the targets for 2016. And then we will also talk about the gaps in the market too, in the SPI and the QQQZ ETFs. Email me at melissa at thestockswish.com if you would like more information. Have a great day, everyone.


I'm really happy to be here. I'm going to read something that's a little bit about me, which San Francisco is in my bio. I realized so many times, so it'll also be in this. And also something I'm thinking about. It's called Currency of Kindness. Cities are in my genes. This pull toward urban epicenters comes from the heart. This desire to understand the intricacies of neighborhoods with names like the sunset, the Richmond, the Mission, and Barcadero, and Hunter's Point hits me like chemical wiring. And pupils, sharp enough to see extremes, do not be sheltered from the delight and grief, gentrification in native grasses, generations of families that stay like we do, the beauty and horror of the city. This is part of my inheritance. Chicago, the windy city, was my mother's city until there was a conference in Seattle. And at this conference, she met my father, a pastel blue pants wearing Chicano from the Bay Area. And in this emerald city begins their love story, an eventual decision to make a life in San Francisco, my city. San Francisco has the lowest percentage of children in any US city, coupled out with news of it having some of the highest rents in the nation. And it's not hard to see why middle-class families are leaving. Statistics like these encourage fleeing. And this fleeing encourages us to turn our backs in San Francisco, but let's be clear. It's not just those in the highest income bracket that are left to make up San Francisco. There have always been working class and poor people living alongside the middle class and owning class. There have been immigrants and laborers, queers and artists and outcasts, activists and war veterans, the marginally housed and more alongside industry and business. There have been mothers and fathers and grandparents dedicated to the upbringing of young people and to the right of a comfortable old age. There are individuals and families that don't have the luxury of easily living or that don't want to leave, despite the threat of being pushed out. I'm talking about the girls and boys growing up here in their families. I was once a little girl in a working class family in San Francisco, and now I'm a woman still complexly in love with her city. It's with this love and commitment that I speak to the currency of closeness and kindness. Call it barter or trade, far before the city of San Francisco, the native people of the land traded abalone, salt, feathers, obsidian, and more. The currency of relationships relies on human elements, trust, and friendship, and ingenuity. Like many, I learned firsthand the currency of relationships, and it's what's allowed my family to stay in San Francisco. I was born to my city at the very side of the 80s at San Francisco General Hospital, shortly after my birth, we moved to Hayward. But right before my 10th birthday, my dad had brief success in the computer world, bringing in more money than my family had ever seen. So my parents jumped on the opportunity to move back to San Francisco from Hayward. My dad lost his job shortly after moving, but my parents were determined to raise their five daughters here. Their main source of income was a sewing business. They filled orders for a furniture shop in the city. My dad designed, measured, and cut the orders, and my mom, a talented seamstress, completed the sewing. She used these same skills to update our wardrobes with shirts and skirts made of fabric of our choosing. There was never much money for eating out or buying brand-named or packaged goods so they'd cook food from scratch, vegetables and lean meats. For many years, we shared a garden with my dad's best friend's family. Noticing a neighbor's empty, locked and dilapidated stairs, my dad and Dan offered a trade. They'd rebuild the stairway in exchange for use of the backyard to plant a garden. My parents couldn't afford a car in San Francisco. We rode the bus to the grocery store, and if we weren't packing the bags light and sharing the load between the six or seven of us would pile into a cab. It wasn't out of question for my mom to arrive home with pizza after walking into a pizza delivery spot and asking the question, if I order a pizza for delivery, can you take me with it? She really did that many times. On one occasion, she announced me catching a ride to school in a diaper delivery truck.  For extra money, my dad painted houses, set tile or rebuilt staircases. Art and community organizing was at the center of my father's heart and important work to him. This was often unpaid work. It not only enriched our lives, but taught us about social justice and gave us access to artists and to politics. But it also taught us a larger lesson about being intricately connected to others and how relationships are key to helping us remember our own value and worth outside dollars and cents. My father died on the warehouse floor of Cole Hardware where he eventually worked. I was 17 years old and my mom was a widow with five daughters. There was no savings or life insurance or means to move to any other place. Still, we had our own form of currency. The Cole Hardware store owner extended a discount to us that still works to this day. At the neighborhood market, my mom negotiated a tab she could pay off over time so we could always get chips or fruit after school. We all worked, some of us including myself, at the hardware store. My sisters were involved in after-school programs and free art classes and other parents gave us rides from school dances or sports games and for each monetary thing we couldn't give, we gave other things. Our ideas, our friendship, our home. Some time ago, my mom moved into a new home. The house was built 100 years ago by the landlord's grandfather. Our landlord recalls the days of dirt roads and chickens, fairgrounds along the Great Highway and crossing below red arches the day the Golden Gate Bridge was unveiled. His parents lived and died in the house she now rents from him and he's the last of his family. When we moved in the house, it was carpeted, cigarette stained and stale. Since then, we pulled up the carpet to expose hardware floor, filled it with our large family, our Dia de los Muertos and Dia de los Orellas, Mexican traditions and the ordinary things of daily life. He's become Uncle Bill. My mom can't afford to live in this home at market rate but Uncle Bill's made it quite clear we've brought something invaluable to his life, closeness. Call it luck or social assets. I know there are many barriers and not everyone has the chance to negotiate as we have but ask around, you'll be surprised to find more stories like this. This is for those who believe in relationships above all, my mother and father, my friends and their parents, to the queers and the artists and the organizers, the landlord with the dwindled family, to the diaper truck driver, the delivery man and more. The currency of closeness doesn't erase a crippled economy, racism, underfunded public schools and overused prison system. Still I call for another kind of currency for people to stand up for each other, for a new type of investment in relationships, for all young people growing up in San Francisco and for all those to come and the fleeing and the turning away from your cities. Thank you.


As we move into fall, the South Portland Recreation Department is wrapping up its summer projects and getting ready for new activities. Tom got an update from the department's director, Rick Toll. Rick, thanks for joining us. It's great to have you here. Glad to be here again. Yeah, so something's always happening in Parks and Recreation in South Portland. What's the latest? Well, we've got a lot going on, wrapping up from fall, getting ready to go into winter. We have our Liberty Ship Memorial Project that just got reconditioned. It came out phenomenal, and that's done at Buglight Park. So people can kind of meander out there and see that. Mill Creek, our internal park within the downtown area between Nightville and Route 77, is in really good shape, and that's wrapping up. The stonework there is phenomenal in the plantings. And then also our newest and best playground that we've done recently, and it's in Wayne Wright Recreation Complex off Highland Avenue. That's come out excellent, too. So we're really proud of that. I think it's a staff effort. We built it internally for the first time, too. Park's team received the product from Landscape Structures, and then we built it. So it's been a good fall with all of those things. Could you describe a little bit about the Liberty Ship Project, what that's about? Yeah, historically, the city of South Portland, we had a shipyard that built obviously the ships, and they were sent overseas to participate in, obviously, the effort of the World Wars. So we set up a memorial there, and that memorial is a large structure, a bow of a ship, and it's really neat for kids to see and interact with, and it has interpretive panels that tell the history of the site that is now Bug Light Park. So originally it was that shipyard, and now it is Bug Light Park. So that sits on the property and facing the Casco Bay and the Atlantic. And that's all new? No, it's been there for several years, quite a few years, but we had to recondition it. I see. We had the exterior of it because of the harsh conditions out there, and the metal, as you can imagine, even on a regular ship, you have to paint it every so often. It is the battleship gray that you would traditionally see, but it needed it. It was time for an update, and the city council more than generously supported that, and the city manager, and it's come out really nice. Oh, good. Is that something that people can visit all year round? Yeah, you can go there anytime, year round. It's an open public park from sunrise to sunset, and it's a really nice place if you want to go, and then off to the side there's a grassy area too that overlooks Casco Bay and Peaks Island that you can sit out there and have a picnic. So if it's, you know, November and we have a nice day or even, you know, January and you're out there walking around, you could go for a walk and see it. Cool. Now you mentioned the stonework in Mill Creek. What's that about? Well, we put in a lot of the areas and upgraded in the first phase of three phases. We put a lot of the infrastructure in, including that stonework, and the masonry that's been done there, Tony and his crew, those guys have done a great job, and a local person, who was an archer on a paper recently, they came to me and asked, hey, I've got these boats I carve out of granite, sailboats. And I said, that's amazing. And they said, I'd be willing to kind of help you with this and put them in on the pedestals that are going to be the columns that face Ocean Avenue and Broadway. We have a big formal archway entrance that's going to go in there. And I said, could you carve me to the face inward, one at each other, the bow? And he said, yeah, I could do that. Yeah, he did it, and we put them in the columns and it's going to really add a nice feature. And that whole stonework and that architectural stuff, the regime of the architect, the landscape architect of the project, did a good job. You'd be surprised it pops out and it looks really nice, especially in the fall. You've got to make a point to see that. Now, you also offer classes and there's another cycle coming up? Yeah, October leads into winter, late fall into winter, and typically we kind of start slowing down when you should be kind of continuing all the hard work you put in over the summer. Whether it's you've been biking or running or walking, whatever your fitness level, you want to continue that because you don't want it to be in cycles. It's bad for you to go high and low, high and low, and you don't want to go dormant over the winter. So we encourage you to use the South Portland Community Center, which has a 12th mile track inside, to walk around. We also encourage you to use Red Bank Community Center for various activities, ranging from resumba classes and art classes to other types of fitness and other types of activity. But even if it's just going and being around other people and being active, because it is also mental wellness too. And it can get hard going to work in the dark and come in home in the dark. Oh, yeah. You know, we take that for granted in Maine, but it really does have an effect on us. So heading into spring next year, your goal ought to be through the winter to keep up as much as you can. That's great. There's probably tens of stuff that's going on that we could talk about for more than five minutes. But if people want more information, how did they get it? Well, they could go to our website with the city, southportland.org, and then look under Parks and Recreation and it lists all our facilities and our programs. They have a virtual or interactive brochure that you can go in. It's really neat. You can click through the pages and it'll take you right to the classes to sign up. So it's really easy and fun. You also can call us at<PHONE_NUMBER>, which is our main office number. And you can talk to staff and they're ready to help you. And you can get signed up for classes or they can tell you how or give you general information. So there's lots of different ways to get ahold of us, but the most important step is starting the process and reaching out. That's great. It sounds like it's hard to be bored in South Portland. Yeah, it is. Thanks for joining us. Well, thank you. Thank you.


As people have said I'm Therese and I'm one of the social workers on the subacute site and I've worked in rehab for a number of years and part of the social work role is to really try to address the psychosocial impact of illness and hospitalisation. Part of the the role is obviously to assist patients with a smooth transition from hospital to home. We work part of a team and it is a very much of a team focus within the rehab setting and part of the social work role too is to be the key contact person for the family. So often some of our work will be obviously working with the patients but also organising family conferences and things like that to provide information and education to family members. I've had the privilege to work with Janet when she was in the rehab unit and I think their experience is very much highlight very well the meaning of driving to people in the community. It's associated obviously with people's identity, their roles in society and family. The positive benefits of driving obviously include independence and spontaneity and comfort. Being able to just go out of your home and jump into your car is something we take for granted. Stopping driving can have negative social and psychological consequences and some of those have been illustrated today by Janet, loss of identity, loss of employment in the community. It may cause conflict in their relationships with their loved ones. Obviously people often experience a loss of control and very much social isolation. Many of the activities they may previously have enjoyed are no longer available to them. The impact on the care or the family I suppose we as a treating team often encourage patients to when they first go home not make hasty decisions about driving, getting back to those sorts of things to allow them to have time to recover physically and psychologically from their whole trauma. That's fine but we often assume that families can come in and take over that role and that places a significant burden on them. It can be seen as a common cause strained for the family members and it can disrupt their home and work and community activities in their own right. That conflicting desire of a family to provide safety to their loved one but also to balance that the need for their independence is obviously extremely important. So I suppose part of the social work intervention and as part of the team is to work with the patient and families, all patients and either of those people make raised concerns regarding their driving capacity in terms of their history and also concerns about their capacity to drive in the future. My responsibility as a social worker as like other people in the team is to report those issues back to the treating team and I suppose as Chris has pointed out we don't always do that very well in a systematic way and it would be really good to think that driving is something that we look at for all in patients. I also believe that we need to inform the patient and also the family of our recommendations and obviously the fact sheets et cetera that we talked about this morning that are now available might be really useful to be able to give to people when they're in hospital about some of the concerns and the processes they may need to go through to resume their driving. Part of the role also is to provide emotional support to patients and families including the adjustment to their new status so it may be that people in fact cannot resume driving as they once did and then it's about I suppose the social work and the rest of the team helping to identify alternatives to enable community access which we know is important for people to have meaningful roles in our society. Some of the community resources are well illustrated today in seminar room one we have a whole display of different organisations and people that are available to speak to you at lunchtime about some things that may overcome some issues around getting back into the community. As Janet mentioned there's things like half price taxi cards which are still costly, red cross can often provide transport to medical appointments, we're lucky in Ballarat to have Uniting Care Community Transport that's based around a system of volunteer drivers. We have schemes like Viptas or Victorian Patient Transport Assistant Scheme which also will give some assistance for travel and accommodation costs for people who need to travel 100 kilometres or more to a specialist appointments. There's things like companion cards, disabled parking permits etc and I suppose one of the roles of social work may be to look at trying to link people into support services that will allow them to continue their active participation as I said before in the community. So things like community aged care packages where perhaps a carer can take someone to appointments is all part of it and the aim of those things as I said is to minimise the impact of their disability. In summary I'd just like to say and I suppose it's just reiterating what people have been saying all morning that we know that driving is important in our society, we need to acknowledge that, we know that the loss of that ability to drive does cause difficulties for people, we need to balance the best interests of the individual and public safety and obviously we've covered a lot of that this morning. Obviously if we can develop a plan for driving cessation that is the best way to do it in conditions like dementia etc if we can start that discussion early that helps the person adjust perhaps makes new plans for the future they may need to look at relocating their house or whatever to be able to be closer to the facilities they need to access in the community. Obviously to involve the patient and the family in the decision making process so that they understand as much as possible where we're coming from as a health service. As I said to provide information again to patients and families on alternatives and in terms of public policy I suppose particularly for people in rural areas the development of alternative transport options for people who can no longer drive is extremely important. Okay thank you.


So you'd think Monero will rule Monero for one understand it has it's it's better than Bitcoin Yeah, I think Monero has Add an immediate it by design right Bitcoin does not Bitcoin can be tracked every Bitcoin transaction could be tracked all the way back to a source So they can come out and say any Bitcoin we talked about this Any Bitcoin that has gone through the dark web or any place any site that they don't like that Bitcoin is no longer valid Right, so they could take for example all the cash in the world right now that you have in your pocket Right and before you're allowed to spend it you have to run it through sort of a scanner to see if there's any traces of Cocaine on it. Well, guess what huge percentage of the cash in the world has traces of cocaine on it And then once you run that oh, it's got traces of cocaine that was in the hands of somebody that had cocaine That dollar or that a hundred dollars or that Thousand dollars is worthless now. You can't spend it. We have to burn it right? They can do that to Bitcoin They can't do it to Monero from what I understand. Okay? This is not financial advice cosmic visions. Hello, Chicho.

I'm going to tell you a secret how to get it. Do what others won't.   See you smashing them because you get it down. Yeah. Look whatever you do and you do a lot you're going to become good at. That's it and keep your foot on the gas.  Let's start out by drowning out the haters, okay? The voice on the inside driving you to be who you want to become and who you know you can be is the voice that matters. No one else's voice matters. This isn't a hype video. This isn't a motivational video. This is the damn true. You want to become great? Number one, every single person who's successful in this world, every one of them, they were all mocked. They were all ridiculed. They were all laughed at until they laughed their way to the bank. You know why? Because of that inner voice. So number one, what's your inner voice saying? Look at me. You're worth it. You're capable. You are totally worth it. You have to look at me right now and you have to become delusional to believe who you can be starting at this moment forward. You realize that generational influence, who are you setting yourself up to be now so you can tell those stories to your kids when you get older, right? Like and if you got kids now, if you haven't had that wow story yet, make it out. Like dude, there's nothing cooler than us telling our kids that we used to be average and it made us sick. Dad almost threw up and I looked in the mirror and knew he deserved it. So the dad went to work. Mom went to work. We sacrificed everything. Where's the time away from you guys so that we can give you guys a lifestyle that we knew you guys deserved. Guys, I am telling you right now, never finish, never arrive. Keep that chip on your shoulder. If you don't have that chip, you put it on there now. If you have to arrive while I'm building, understand this, somebody's going to do it for you. Okay? Get rid of it. Remember this. Make your living out of humble people and keep the average.   You don't own your life.  Own your life. Own it. Okay? What you guys do will be the life you create. Okay? Do you want to display your life to the world right now? Do you want to display your freaking year to date to the world right now? Do you want to display your savings account to the world right now? Do you want to take your shirt off to the world? Go come on, man. Look how disciplined I am. Do you want to display your family and the lifestyle that you've given them? Do you want to display all the things in your life and say, look, I am an example for all of you. Not look at me. I'm great. No, I'm an example to other human beings that we can get it all. Okay? So I'm going to be a standard son. You know what?   You've never thought big. You've never raised your standards.


Becoming rich is the dream of everyone. However, wealth generation is not gotten based on wishful thinking. It is the product of the decisions you make. These decisions are not limited to just forming habits. It also includes breaking from toxic habits. A lot of people focus on searching for the dues of the rich but do not spend time to notice their don'ts. Hence, I want to show you seven habits you need to quit if you ever wish for your dream of becoming rich to become a reality. 1. Condemn the rich One primary reason why a lot of people are not wealthy is that they believe that all rich people rob the poor to become rich. This mindset has been tagged the zero-sum mindset. The belief that economic life is like table tennis where one person wins and the other loses. In his poem Alphabet, the German poet Bertolt Brecht formulated the zero-sum mindset as follows said the poor man with a twitch, were I not poor, you wouldn't be rich. This mentality is wrong and will only make you remain poor. For you to become rich, you have to stop the faulty thinking that someone else is responsible for your issues and begin to appreciate riches truly. You must see that people who became rich got there by hard work and sacrifices. A glance at the Forbes list of the world's billionaires reveals that almost everyone on the list became wealthy as an entrepreneur or because they continued businesses that their parents had founded and that took them to the next level. A majority of the world's top 10 wealthiest people are self-made entrepreneurs and they are also philanthropists who give to society. 2. Plain Safe Research had shown that 10% of individuals own 85% while the bottom 90% fights for the remaining 15% of the total world's wealth. The difference between these top 10 individuals and the bottom 90% is the courage to step out and take opportunities. Safety is essential but it is never a good strategy in the game of wealth but a lot of people are of the habit of taking the safe train rather than taking risks.  An anonymous quote says life is a risk and even not taking a risk is a risk. In fact, not taking risks is the highest risk you can make in life because it amounts for you not to genuinely live but just exist. Saving money is an excellent thing to do but you can never be on the way to success. When you step out and explore and try out new and daring feats then will riches come to you. 3. Waking up late A study carried out by author Thomas C. Curly on 177 self-made millionaires showed that about 50% of them wake up at least 3 hours before their work for the day begins. Early to rise is one habit that many successful people practice. However, they do not just wake up and start carrying out tasks they take out time to think and refresh themselves. Waking up to meditate in the early hours of the morning is a strategy that productive individuals use in dealing with the inevitable challenges that they may encounter during the day. According to Curly's discovery getting up at 5 in the morning to plan for the top 3 things you want to accomplish during your day allows you to have more control over your activities and life in general. Well, you got it. The step between you and greatness probably lies in your waking habits. Wake early. 4. Overspending Satisfying every craving and desire is not a thing for the rich. Everyone aspires to be wealthy. I mean, who does not want to ride in fancy cars, leave in mansions, stop working and have many vacations and guilt-free shopping. Even wealthy individuals do not do all those and that is one way through which they amass the wealth. The self-made millionaires and billionaires had to learn and master certain things and one of them is the ability to restrain themselves from unnecessary spendings.  If you ever want to be rich, you must be sure of your wants and needs and be conscious of your spending habits. 5. Eating out often In the 2013 survey, US author Paul Sullivan and financial psychologist Dr. Brad Klont found out that the main difference between the wealthy and the average individual is that the wealthy person eats out 30% less and they save 30% more of their income for retirement or whatever they may need. Sullivan suggested that the reason for this similarly funny decision is because they believe that the little money if invested can yield substantially. The rich people don't eat out not only because it saves money but because they understand that freshly prepared homemade meals are better than junk and other outside food. For rich people, they consider their health as their wealth instead of eating junk and accumulating so much fat in cholesterol they prefer to cook meals by themselves properly. 6. Trying out every get-rich-quick scheme In today's world, many people prefer instant gratification to long-term rewards. This quest for immediate pleasures is the reason for the rise in Ponzi and other get-rich-quick schemes. Studies have shown that four individuals are most likely to fall for these schemes. A rich person would never fall for this kind of system because they have educated themselves deeply on finance and business. Hence, they quickly notice red flags. The rich understand that a mass and wealth is not an overnight theme. It takes time and process. They are willing to follow the process and its struggles but the poor hate the process so they are more prone to falling into the hands of fraud through get-rich-quick schemes. An interview podcast on nav.al summarized this point.  It's not necessarily going to work for you. 7. Bad hygiene This may sound strange. I bet you never thought that hygiene had anything to do with a person's financial situation. It may come as a shock but the truth is that your health has a role to play in your present financial state. Throughout history it has been recorded that the rich are mostly to wear neath clothing. Uniquely white-colored clothes and have elegant haircuts. Individuals who keep themselves and the environment clean are most likely to be rich. Rich people take hygiene very seriously. Some of them are even borderline germaphobes because they get irritated by dust. From their fingernails right to the clothes they wear and the place they stay, research shows that the thoughts of the mind are more organized when the surrounding is orderly and you are likely to feel more mentally relaxed to think well after a shower. Do you like ideas? Clean your room. Take a warm bath and think again. Many of the habits you portrayed today began from childhood and were taken into adulthood. Some of those habits may tend to stand in the way of your becoming wealthy especially if you are not from a wealthy home. But the good news is that old habits can be broken and new habits formed.


Some time ago, I read a story of a king who wanted to give his daughter in marriage. But there was a condition, and that condition was, the man who would marry the king's daughter must be willing to jump into a swimming pool filled with crocodiles.  The day to choose a husband for the princess came. All the men in the village gathered around the crocodile pool. Each one of them was willing to marry the king's daughter. But looking at the crocodiles in the pool seemed like they were staring at their graveyard. As they all envisioned the glory attached to being the king's in-law and the death right in front of them, one of the men mistakenly fell into the pool. Whoops! It's too late to think. The guy fought with every strength he could gather and swam as fast as he could. Behold, James got to the other side of the pool without an injury. Breathing like Usain Bolt after a running competition, the king announced to the thousands of spectators, You see, everything you see in the pool is toy crocodile, which only moves around. Wow, there was never a single crocodile in the pool. Only toys to scare the cowards. I tell you dear friends, often these princes are our dream and that pool is the road that leads to our vision. Those crocodiles are the fears that keep us from daring our ambitions. Yes, they often seem real, but for those who are courageous enough to face them, they are usually crocodile toys. In today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you the three common fears most people have, which is the reason why they are poverty-stricken. And I'll try and suggest how you can overcome those fears. If you're new here, consider subscribing so that you won't miss other exciting videos like this. 1. Fear of failure I spent my first 17 years battling with rheumatism as a sickly child.  I laughed because I know what death looks like, or at least I've smelt it several times. Till today, I can still remember how everyone in my family was worried that I would crush my life. My elder brother often warns me not to come back to him after I destroy myself. No, I wasn't fearless, I just moved on anyway. You see, that's an important thing you should think about. Nobody is without fear. Even the bravest of soldiers and the craziest of heavyweight champions still have fear. Fear is natural for every living being. The difference between those who marry the princess and the spectators is the courage to jump into the crocodile pool. When people warned me that I could destroy my life because I stopped schooling, I knew they were right. When they told me to have a plan B, I knew they were reasonable. When my brother warned me that I could crash myself, I knew he was right. But regardless of what fear I felt, I knew that if I didn't jump into the crocodile pool, I couldn't marry the princess. There are no two ways to overcome the fear of failure than to fail. That's why Nike says just do it. Just do it is the only single way to overcome the fear of failure. When you do it, you'll make mistakes and fail. If you do it again, you're likely going to make another mistake and fail. After a few failures, you start seeing the blessings that come with failure. Yes, you failed, but you've also learned and know what not to do the next time. If you continue in this process, at some point, you become unstoppable. No, your fear of failure will never go away, but you'll become so smart and confident that you know that you can overcome the next blow. 2. Fear of what people think of me I know a man who earns a little more money than the average man in my city. And because he makes a little more money than most, he is living in an affluent neighborhood. Millions of people like this are in the world. And the only single reason why they do what they do is fear of what others think about them. Take a look at the cars on the street of your city. Look at the beautiful houses and look at Instagram. Most of the things you see out there are not owned by the people who can afford them. These people want to look good because they want others to perceive them as being rich or having money. If you care too much about other people's opinions, you'll spend the money you don't have to impress the people who don't care about you. And you'll be miserable. You can have it for free in the future. What I mean is this. Almost every luxury I have today are free because my assets bought them. I never bought expensive phones, shoes, watches, or anything for most of my life. I used the cheapest things I could afford so much that at a point, almost all my employees have something I didn't have. Today, I got all my luxuries for free because my assets bought them. Your income is like a cup of water, while assets are like a stream of water. If you drink a cup of water, it's gone forever. But if you take a cup out of the stream of water, you've lost nothing because the stream is flowing. Don't drink that cup. Use it to build a stream. 3. Fear of selling One day around the year 2011, I went into the city I was living with the singular aim of talking to someone who could invest in my business. That was a crazy idea, you know? You want to jump on the street and convince strangers who don't know you to invest in your plan. But I did it. I can't remember most of my experience that day, but I remember the guy who agreed to support me. I jumped into his office and politely asked for his time. I pitched him about my idea and asked him to support me. The young man looked at me and said, Well, someone helped Mark Zuckerberg to build Facebook. Since I don't know what your idea can turn into, I'm going to help you anyway. Today I hear people say, Nobody is willing to help you. Everybody is stingy. Most rich people are greedy. Well, you're not getting help because you're not asking enough people, because you're afraid of rejection. Yes, most people won't care, but someone will. And that is the only person you sometimes need. Those who become rich are not afraid of selling. The wealthy sell every day. They sell their product, services, or even their ideas. They pitched and asked for help. Yes, most times they get rejected, but they do know and believe that someone somewhere is waiting for them. And if they could endure enough rejection, they'll get the yes they need. The summary of this video is, Your dream is like the king's daughter. You dearly want to marry her, but therein lies the crocodile pool you must go through. These crocodiles are your fears, the fear of failure, the fear of what people say, the fear of rejection. The good news is that the crocodiles in the pool are lifeless. If only you are courageous to jump into the pool, you come out from the other side as the inlaw of the king.

Live, from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE. Covering Informatica World 2018. Not to you by Informatica. Hi, I'm Peter Burris. Welcome back to day two coverage on theCUBE of Informatica World 2018. We're broadcasting from the Venetian here in beautiful Las Vegas. Certainly a lot of excitement. A lot of the buzz. Just heard the general session empty. Probably a thousand people in the room looking at various booths, excited to be here. This morning, we're being joined by my co-host, Jim Kobielus. Jim is a lead analyst at Wikibon SiliconANGLE looking at a lot of the data and data practice issues. And our first guest is Juan Teo. Juan is a principal of data management and architecture at Deloitte. Juan, welcome to theCUBE. Great, thank you guys. Thank you guys for having me. So let's kick it off. What do you do at Deloitte? What's interesting? What are customers talking about? Yeah, no, absolutely. I think we are absolutely at the, what I would call inflection point around the importance of data. And so my role at Deloitte is to lead our data management and architecture practice, which essentially deals with everything from data strategy to data execution, and how we enable all their transformational initiatives to truly take advantage of the power that data has to unlock better business processes, to unlock better insights, to take better actions, right? I mean, everything that we've been historically talking about in terms of what can organizations do around their data asset? My job is to ensure that we are leading, guiding, driving, and developing these solutions for our clients. So here's a simple question. Just kind of kick it off and see where it goes. We think that data is becoming more important. You think that data is becoming more important. Are you finding yourself still talking to people that are data administrators, or are you finding yourselves being pulled into higher level conversations within the business to talk about data asset, data asset formation, data asset returns? How's that changing? So I would say it's evolving, right? I mean, if I, and so I have the privilege of running our practice nationally, right? So I have the privilege of looking at all of the various industries and sectors, right? And so I think, you know, if you take the financial services, the life science healthcare industries, right? Where there's a lot more regulatory demand on data, ensuring that you know what it is, where it's coming from, it's got the right, you know, data standards and qualities. I would say they've gotten it long ago, right? And they've put in place, you know, data management organizations. We hear the chief data officer, right? I would say those industries and sectors are a lot more prominent. And so the conversation is absolutely at the executive level, right? They're an executive owner that's responsible for ensuring that the data is correct. Tell us about the changing data landscape one. Why do enterprises need to change their data strategy and architecture? What are you hearing from clients? What are you telling them? Yeah, I think it's quite simple, right? It is to absolutely enable their business strategy, right? You can no longer enable your business strategy without the data dimension, right?  Well, now there's a fourth dimension, right? People process technology and data. And that's how we like to think about it, is that important, right? You need that executive, and I'll use two words very distinctly, right? You don't need an executive data sponsor, you need an executive data owner, right? And that's the transformation, right? And the evolution that we're seeing in the market and that we're actually advocating for, right? To truly unlock that business strategy, that business outcome that they're looking for. So let's talk about if we're going to do that, then we need tools to do it. Yeah, absolutely. So we're talking about data, we're talking about data owners, we're talking about practices to actually create, generate value out of data. That's not something we're going to do manually. That's right. So talk about some of the tools generally that your clients are starting to apply to improve their productivity at doing these things. Yeah, I mean, I would say there's this sort of standard spectrum of data management tools, right? From the database to master data management, to quality, to metadata management, right? And so each of these technical capabilities and tools, right? Provide the capabilities required to manage that sort of data supply chain, right? There is infinite sources of data and there's infinite sources of demand, right? And it is the responsibility of the data management organization to manage that supply chain and obviously you need tools and you need technology to sort of support that entire life cycle. Juan, what is the one thing that you tell clients that they need to do with their data in order to stay competitive? Is there one imperative thing that they all need to do with their data? Just to stay in the thick of whatever it is they do in their industry? Yeah, so the one thing I always advise our clients is all data is not created equal, right? So find and identify the data that truly drives value for your organization, right? Because that's been, I would say, one of the biggest challenges in this space, right? Is everyone's drowning in data, right? And so to bring all these capabilities for your entire sort of landscape in your organization, it's massive, right? It's just too big, right? So tie value and outcomes to the data that matters, right? So I'll give you an example, right? So in retail, right? I mean, there are values around knowing their customers and the products that they sell to those customers, right? So let's start double clicking underneath that and figuring out and ensuring that that data, right, has all the right standards, is up to quality, so it can meet those business strategies, right? Don't go after everything, right? Map business outcome and value to the data that supports that. What's the role of the Chief Data Officer and the other C-level executives in driving that sort of transformation? Yeah. And how is their role changing? So I would say the Chief Data Officer role is, again, evolving and still maturing. Not everyone has it, but I do see them as one of the next executive C-level roles that will truly be a catalyst for change and innovation, right? Where I think we traditionally think about the CTO or the CIO or the Chief Strategy Officer, right? Sort of back to the, there's now four dimensions, it's no longer three. Their ability to understand the business strategy, understand where their data is to support that and bring new, innovative ways to enable that, right? So it's absolutely critical. So what we think ultimately, I want to test this on you, is that a Chief is an executive that's responsible for demonstrating that they're generating return and share older capital. Exactly. And a Chief Data Officer, therefore, would be the individual that's demonstrating that they're generating return in a company's data assets. Yes. When you take an asset approach, you can think about portfolio. When you think about portfolio, now you're discriminating which value is most valuable, which data is less valuable. If you agree, that suggests that there is a new class of tool that has to be bought in around this notion of portfolio, catalogs, master data management. Give us a sense of that kind of new toolkit that's going to be at the core of not just managing data inside an application like a DBMS, but something that's actually managing data assets. Right. Yeah, I think it's the entire ecosystem of how we bring it together and how we create what I would say is products and services around data, right? So back to this construct of you're managing the data supply chain, right? And so the responsibility of the CDO and how you measure and manage that to outcomes and shareholder value is I've just created a product around this data. And we talk a lot about data monetization. And I would say it's from a outside in perspective. Am I selling my data? Am I making money? Right, well, and of course that's one angle. But I would say there's also the inside out view where you're monetizing to create value back to your organization, right? So increase customer sales, right? Reduce churn, right? All those things matter. And so tying data products to those business outcomes is I think how you get to the return on investment, shareholder value as it relates to this role in the products and services that it's creating. All right, we're out of time. Wanteo, principle, data architecture, and? Data management architecture. Management architecture, sorry. At Deloitte, thank you very much for being on theCUBE. Great, thank you. All right, so we'll be right back with another event or another segment from Informatica World 2018 here in Las Vegas.
