Welcome to the Smarter Building Materials Marketing Podcast, helping you find better ways to grow leads, sales, and outperform your competition. All right, everybody, welcome to Smarter Building Materials Marketing, where we believe your online presence should be your best salesperson. I am Zach Williams, and we have a great show lined up for you today. We've got Chad Lingavelle, who's the managing partner of LockDoc Security. He's also the host of a great podcast, if you haven't heard of it, called the Coffee Break Podcast, who I've been a guest on, I guess, one or two times, right, Chad? Yeah, two times. Yeah. So welcome to the show. We're excited to have you on. Hey, thanks for having me, Zach. It's not often that I get to be a guest. It's I like to be on the other side of the seat, so this is going to be fun. That's great. So for our listeners, just give us a little bit of your history, how you got in our industry, and then what in the world you do and how does how does a security company have a podcast? Well, the fun thing is that we have a security company that doesn't that has a podcast that has nothing to do with security, which is is really probably the most exciting part about it. So as short summary as I can, I got involved in the business and in the industry back in 2004, I had spent a few years out of high school in the radio industry. And I was I actually enjoyed that a lot. I thought that was going to be my career path.  And as I was kind of moving out of that into getting into web design and graphic design, but I landed into the radio world and I loved it. I'd always loved audio gear and learning that. And so I got involved in automation where we basically brought this radio station from an old school, throwing CDs on or even throwing the big carts into a device to turning the whole thing over to a computer run radio station. And I loved it. But it just kind of hit a dead end with it was kind of a small market radio station. So I started looking at some other options and I'd also felt like I had taken on more than I could handle. And so I was wanting to I was wanting to get a job where I could just check in and check out. I wanted a nine to five and an opportunity came available to get into the locksmith industry. And I said, man, this is going to be awesome. I can just show up, do my job and leave. And a few years later, I discovered that the job was not the problem. I was and that's that's just part of it. I'm I'm going to take on more and get involved. But yeah, so that's that's kind of how I got started. I joined in the security industry in 2004 as a rookie technician and I helped to work and grow a business. And now I moved into ownership a few years ago and just having a blast trying to build and grow something. That's cool.  I want to talk more about what you see that's happening with, you know, different types of trades professionals who are marketing themselves. But, you know, if we take a look at this from a macro standpoint, what I really want to dive into with you today is talking about the trades specifically from the manufacturing standpoint. There's a lot of manufacturers struggle with they struggle with getting people to actually do the work. They struggle with the trade as a whole. There's a decline in the amount of people that are in labor force, if you will, talk to me a little about what you're seeing then as well as, you know, what are some of the things you think the most innovative companies are doing to try to not only win customers, but try to win and build the industry is really what I want to understand. It's it's interesting question. I've been thinking a lot about this over the last, you know, several months, understanding who to partner with. So as a company that's that is a trade company, you know, we're very, I guess, very selective about who we work with. Especially in the security world, because there's a lot of different products.  Hey, would you like to check out this new product? And in the sense, a lot of it is all the same. It's just from a from a different a different brand. So where do we go to choose the type of companies that we want to work with? And those are ones that are constantly pushing the boundaries, constantly trying to find out new ways to do things. That's appealing to us. I feel like a lot of times, you know, maybe it's it's just the way that the business is structured and maybe it's the way that the business grew. But there's kind of gets to a point where you rest on your laurels or you become a little complacent. And so I like to align with people that are constantly, I guess, challenging that complacency, challenging the status quo to continue to grow and be innovative. Can you give me an example of a company or two? If I push on the spot, like, who do you think is being innovative? Of a name of a brand? Yeah, sure. In our industry or just, of course. Oh, I'll take, I mean, if you can give me a big list, that'd be great. But yeah, in your industry. In our industry, Brevo is does a does a fantastic job. There's another company out there called Vercata that is doing some really cool stuff. Also, Abloy does, does some, you know, does some stuff. They've got so many different companies that sometimes it's hard to navigate the whole process, but they've got a lot of innovative things happening in in corners of the business.  And so they're just constantly throwing new kind of data analytics stuff out for for video, which is is really cool. So there's a lot of stuff like that happening. And it's interesting in our industry where somebody will come up with an idea and it'll get out there and then everybody starts to build on it. And so having some industry leaders that are going to constantly re invigorate new ideas into the industry is a is a big benefit for everybody. So when you're saying you want to partner with an innovative company, is it just the product development side of things? Or are you also looking at how they're marketing their brand? Like, what are the different boxes that you're personally checking? You're like, I think that they are somebody we should consider. Yeah, marketing their brand, the way that their their business interacts with you.  You want to buy this product. All right, cool transaction be done. Right. And that is very frustrating and probably a lot of my personality is about developing relationships. So those that are developing relationships well, and that will help to support in the marketing effort, because especially in the trades world, people, trades people are not typically the best at marketing themselves. And so people that can help point you in the right direction to help market or at least give you suggestions or support you in that aspect are also very beneficial. Yeah, one thing we talk a lot about is it's just not selling the product. The product is just like one small part of what you're selling.  You know, it's really the entire gamut of what are you providing to that trades person or pro, if you will.  Like, do you get leads from partners and do you want them? Or do you want to marketing? There's, there's, there's no trades company that's going to say, no, don't send me any leads. If they do, then that is point of my direction. But the leads are great. Okay. I'm trying to say how to figure out how to clarify this because leads are great and everybody wants them. Our relationships are not solely related to leads. And so I think there becomes this situation where there's a vendor or a service company or a trades company that the only reason that they would have a relationship with a manufacturer or another partner would be directly before leads. And so it turns into just a handout situation. Like you come into it with their handout. And if some, if I, if I enter into a conversation with somebody and the first thing out of their mouth is we can get you better pricing and we can hand you leads, then it's probably not going to work because, you know, it's, it's just, that's, it's a, it's a complete transactional situation. Hey, how can we help to grow your business is a completely different conversation because now you've invested in partnership with me. And if we have to spend six months or a year of building a relationship so that we can build the business together, then at the end of the day, they're going to do that. I'll give you a great example. There's one, one manufacturer that we work with developed a business development group for our trade and we became a part of it before we were ever a customer. They, they invited us in and this was years ago, years ago when we were a significantly smaller company and said, we see something in your company and we want to help to, to, to mentor you essentially in growing your business. Zero history with them. We had no purchase history whatsoever. It wasn't like we were this big, big account that they were going after and they invested in us to help to show us how to build a business and that has translated into a lifetime partnership that I, there's zero reason and a high level of loyalty because they didn't come in and fix our business or they didn't come in and change our business, but they helped to, to walk us down a path to get to a point where our business could grow. What kind of time investment was that on their end? Ooh, before they saw what I would say, considerable results, probably two years. So they invested in your business for two years before they really saw return. Time investment. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And, and I'll say this and I, and I'm trying to, I don't want to, to an over promise and under deliver, but our, our business in the last five years, won two significant awards within the organization as hitting record sales numbers for their, for their organization. So we basically, we created two categories of sales, of sales targets based off of the fact that we came in as a zero dollar client and we set two, seven figure records. Okay. So what I really want to know is how did they see your business however many years ago and like what, I don't know if they've shared this with you, but like, what kind of qualifiers did they have to go? You know what? Lockdock is going to be a great partner for us in five, 10 years from now. Like, did they have qualifiers or they just reaching out to everybody and their mom and you all responded? They had qualifiers and the problem is that, let's say if we can march down this path that it can be universal because I think part of this process was very, very unique, right? But I'll give you a couple of elements. Their qualifiers were one that you already had to be an existing dealer, which we were not. So that was number one. And number two was you had to be, you had to, to be, you had to have a storefront. You had to have a business location. And at the time when we started the conversation, we did not. So we got that before we started. So that was, that was one thing that we, that we fixed. So you didn't have either of the things that they wanted and they still reached out to you? But I'll tell you what, what we did have. We met at a trade show originally and the guy that met us saw something different. And I'll tell you why it was a lot to do with appearance. We went to a trade show as a company of five or six, the entire company went, by the way, to the trade show. And at the time we invested in, there was two years that we went back to back. But the first year we invested in, in shirts. We got brand new, nice golf shirts. They were probably the most expensive attire that the company had ever purchased at the time. But we, they were all exactly the same.  And we all wore dark slacks. And we showed up to this trade show in a traditional blue collar environment, wherever there was a lot of people that were very, very casual, blue jeans, t-shirts, type stuff. We show up in our nice collar shirts and, and dress slacks and we stood out like a big sore thumb and it wasn't necessarily intentional. It wasn't like, Hey, we're going to show up and stick out. We just said, Hey, if we're going to go to this show and we're going to be there, then we're going to look like we, like we're supposed to. And so they drew a lot of attention and, and they saw that and they said, hold on a second, these guys aren't normal. You know, this isn't, isn't the norm. The second year that we showed up, we did it. We were very similar, but, you know, all dressed alike in, in, in company attire, not, not uniform, but not a uniform, but in uniform clothes. And we drew a lot of attention and people said, Hey, what, why are you doing this different? Why do you look different? And we said, Well, we were, we want to be professionals. We don't want to be just tradesmen. We want to be professionals. And so if we're going to be professionals, we're going to, we're going to dress the part. And because of that, it spurred several conversations and some sit downs. And they said, Hey, we think that you guys have something. We're not quite sure what it is, but we're willing to take a chance on you. So the, the first step was though, presenting ourselves to be where we wanted to go before we were actually there. I like that. It's just for the job you want, not the job you have was the idea, right? That's the idea. So let's talk a little bit more about the trade, the pro installer. What is the biggest challenge that they're dealing with today that most manufacturers aren't even aware of? You know, everybody says training. Like if you were to ask 100 folks, that's what they would say is training. We're different in that aspect because we handle training in, in house. I think a lot of people, especially from a marketing side of things, a lot of trades folks are, are looking for a, a, a easy switch to flip on. And, and what I mean when I say that is a lot of times manufacturers say, Hey, here are the elements that you need to promote and, Hey, we're going to give you collateral. And, you know, Hey, here's this PDF that you can put your logo on and, and all these things. And for somebody, especially in a business is growing, when you don't have an established marketing department and you're, you're really, you know, a lot of times the owner is heavily involved in the sales and marketing side until they build that up. It's, it's complicated.  So they're not giving you a cake. They're giving you the flour and the sugar and the, and the eggs to make it. You still have to make the cake. Oh yeah, we've got a couple manufacturers we work with who they'll go to their trades, tradesmen, trades people, their partners, and they'll say, Hey, we're going to handle everything for you. We're going to handle your website, your advertising, your positioning on Google. I don't know, not many people manage their social, but they'll go in and say, Hey, we'll do this. All we're asking for is either X, X amount of spend, you know, in terms of how much you buy from us, or you're going to put in dollar for dollar from an ad standpoint. But Dave, it's completely turnkey. And like, can you imagine as a business, if like you're trying to get off the ground, like what kind of value add that is like, you will never leave that manufacturer. Absolutely. Absolutely. It's what you just described as exactly what I'm saying is, you know, if you give me the cake and just say, Here's the cake, but here's the price for the cake, then that makes sense to me. If I back myself up seven, eight years, nine years ago, as we were trying to figure out how to market our business, it was like, there's a thousand PDFs and a thousand pieces of content. Okay, what am I supposed to do with it all? How do I do Google ads? How do I do it? It was too much work. And so even now fast forwarding, I'm talking with business owners across the country all the time. And they're all like, Yes, we want to do all this stuff. Can you do it for us? Because I don't have the capacity to put it all together right now. I'm trying to actually run a business, hire people do all this stuff. I can't run a marketing strategy. You can't throw another thing on their plate. Yeah. Yeah. What about marketing from the manufacturing standpoint? Like you do marketing all the time.  What marketing tactics and strategies should manufacturers be thinking about that maybe isn't on their radar? Or what do you see as working really well today that, you know, people may not be aware of? Have you heard me talk to people before Zach? Never. My biggest pet peeve from a manufacturing standpoint is that manufacturers are marketing to installers. They're not marketing to the end user most of the time. So I try not to speak in definitive. So there's there's pitching their product to me as a as a as a trades person to this is this is the facts and the features and all this stuff. And that's great. And they spend lots of money marketing that product to us. But it doesn't actually get to the end user. So the end user needs to know what I believe is the problem that the product solves, not the features and functions of the product. The installers need to know the features and functions and how it works and how to install it and all that stuff, because that's what they're doing. The end user, what drives demand for that particular solution needs to know the problem that it solves. So I'm trying to think of a good example, because I know that's just, you know, that's just terminology. But for us in our industry, a door closer. And this because this is the one that I use all the time, the door closer, which for a lot of people, they don't even know what it is or where it is. But it's this big metal chunk that hangs at the top of the door that you never even look at. And the only reason that you know it exists is if it's not working correctly and it's lambs or or the door stays open, right? But for our industry, manufacturers take wonderful product shots of this hunk of metal. And they post it out and like, you need to have this. And the for the average person has no idea what it is, it's just a big chunk of metal. Well, the problem that that thing solves is, have you ever gotten smacked in the back of the the heel of your your foot, because a door slammed on you? Or have you ever opened the door and it swung all the way open because the wind caught it? That's the problem of this hunk of metal fixes that problem. But at the end of the day, the end user, the person that's actually using that particular door on a day to day basis doesn't care what the metal looks like, they just need to know, can you solve the fact that my door slams or that my door won't open all the way? And so that's that's what I'm looking for from a manufacturer. If they're helping to market something and historically for us, all of the marketing money that they've spent to market that money, that product to us, it essentially falls dead at that point, because I now have to change the entire narrative and almost scrap everything that they've provided, just to actually point to the problem that it solves. So can I play devil's advocate with you on that? Please. Okay, so we help manufacturers with the very thing you're talking about. We've definitely seen a shift of more B to C, or adding B to C and to B to B, you know. But for a lot of manufacturers, they think, hey, if I get the tradesperson to like my product, they like it, they install it and we could take roofers or siding installers or plumbers, whatever. The average homeowner doesn't know any.  I don't know that much. Like if I go and let's say I go and I build a deck, okay? I go get some contractor who builds decks day and night, common quoted. I say, Hey, I really want you to use treks. And he goes, you shouldn't use treks. Treks is garbage. You should use Azek. Yeah, I'm gonna go. Great. I'm not going to argue with him. Yeah, sounds great. Because let's say Azek did a better job at marketing to that tradesperson. Sure. So that would be for a lot of manufacturers, the argument as to why they prioritize that tradesperson that installer. But what you're saying is, yes, I'm still important, me being them, you know, you the installer, but the homeowner, the end user, whoever is actually purchasing it is important because they have to understand the problem it's solving. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, because so in that exact and I like your scenario here because I have no idea anything about anything that you just said other than a deck. Okay. So all the other brands are Greek to me. So in that sense, if I'm searching for or I'm looking for a deck, I'm not going to be searching for either one of the products that you just said because they don't mean anything to me. What I'm searching for is how do I get a nice? How do I enjoy my deck? How do I have a maintenance free deck? Like I don't want to have to stain it and paint it or whatever that you would have to do to keep up with the deck. So that's what as a consumer in that situation, I would be looking for how to get a, you know, a very reliable deck with, you know, that I don't have to maintain or something like that. Yeah, some like that. Okay. So in that sense, now if the manufacturer is creating content that's going to drive me to that and then attach me to a dealer or somebody that's going to solve that problem, then I'm gold because now I'm coming to the dealer and saying I want, you know, I want this deck because I don't have to maintain it. You're more educated. Yeah. And the thing is now, you know, I have had this conversation with a lot of people will an educated consumers not necessarily what we're looking for. Well, you cannot look for that all you want to, but that's just the nature of the beast now. Have you seen this? You know, that's what everybody does. And if you want to know something, what do you do? You Google it. And what does Google give you a YouTube page? You know, that's that's what's happening is that users, end users, consumers are becoming more and more educated, more and more aware, and they know what they're looking for. And they're going to find somebody to help them get it. If you compare your customers today to let's say 15 years ago, 2004, you said you got started. Yeah, a little over 15. How much more educated are they? Oh, everybody is, you know, especially in some of the more advanced electronic products that we offer on the security side. I mean, do we have people contacting us and saying we want you to use this exact type of hinge or this exact type of door closer? Unless they're a facility manager and they're very, you know, very much adamant about it. But there are people that will come and say, Hey, I've done the research and I want to use this because of a BNC. Do you ever talk out of it? We explain our perspectives on the on the type of products that we use, because we we use a lot of experiential data. You know, we've been utilizing this type of product and we've used this and here's here's the pros and cons of both. This is why we recommend this. That's great. Chad, this has been fascinating. Man, thank you so much for coming on the show. For our listeners, if they want to get in touch with you or contact you, what's the best way for them to do that? The from the from a business standpoint, if you go to locdoc.net, you're gonna, you're gonna find me.  And it'll all point back to the same place.

So for listeners, you can check out our site for that. But I mean, I know a lot of people are listening to this, but Chad, you have the probably the single best backdrop and studio setup of anybody we've interviewed.  It looks like if you, if you just saw a picture of this, like it would look like you're interviewing me, not the other way around. I appreciate it, Zach. It is, it's been a, it's been a long process. We started out with, with a couple of simple microphones and a GoPro sitting, sitting on a stand to, to a really incredible studio that we're blessed to have.

So i'm gonna do my best to get through this I'm gonna be a try to be a little more calm a little more zen today So I don't mess anything up because it feels like I can talk right now, but it feels like I'm teetering on the edge of Dying from talking too much. So we're gonna see If I can make it we have a super rare a lot of times these are the streams where people tell me I talk too much So maybe today you guys will be happy and I won't talk enough.  We have an ultra rare so far We are looking for that art store christia. I've not pulled a quarter century or a collector yet out of this set. So Yeah, we have not done so well.  So if you're watching this and you see the rare You're like you just pulled it not the rare as I'm talking about the high end ones the quarter century the collector rare stuff like that Okay, we've pulled. Yeah, so we've pulled our store christia, but not the big one That's the card. I'm really looking for it. If we don't get it today We're definitely gonna be looking for it on saturday during the live stream It's gonna be fun. I'm excited about that and do not forget about the whatnot stream tomorrow night I'm hoping I'll feel better by then Uh, it's been a crappy few days, but fortunately I recorded most of my videos ahead of time This one on the other hand I did it.

We're locked into a super rare right there. We have literally pulled one ultra so far Which remember this is a collector rare set. So it's Gonna happen. We have a center iron. So a lot of center. I've been saying iron. It's ion You know, I realized that in the car. I saw the comments and somebody said center ion And I was like wait, that's not what I've been saying not iron ion. Okay different thing I don't know why I read iron. I just did the way I say iron sounds weird too iron iron Okay, we have a valmonica so far not even a collector rare, which is you know, it's a case opening We should in theory get one But you guys remember grand creators if you're longtime fans of the channel crazy that that was a long time ago Grand creators a year and like over a year and a half ago actually Wow, that's pretty insane. Uh, but if you're a longtime fan, you've been around since then you remember that All right valiant smashers smashing our wall right now. We have not really pulled anything Still pre-release prices. We're still pre-release locked at the time of recording this. It's thursday the day before When i'm recording this you're seeing it friday, you know, obviously kenneth.

I understand we are still pre-release locked with the prices So they are going to be a little bit crazier than they probably are at the time of watching the video But some of them might be close You just want to give you an idea of kind of what the better cards are with those prices Not necessarily an exact, you know end all be all value a lot of times that people don't really understand that They watch a video like six months later like that card's not 50 bucks. It's 20. I'm like it's because this was six months ago It's like it's it isn't now, but it was then we're getting straight into it. No funny business We're just opening packs. We're not really taking our time on anything That's because I can barely talk, but uh, i'm doing my best. Okay, volmonica in great Of course that that stream tomorrow is like five hours long. So uh, yeah I've been resting my voice as much as possible drinking tea With honey in it. I've been uh taking all kinds of allergy medicine which already take daily So it's just like ramping that up even more. This happens to me like every year. I can't I can't avoid it My voice just goes away At some point during the uh, you know the colder months. So it's kind of annoying. It's a thing that happens I I'm cue all you guys recommending things. I'll fix my voice. It's just a thing that happens, uh, every single time So unfortunate, but it is something that is going on. We have a volmonica It's kind of rough like before you lose your voice and didn't really matter But now that I have to like record stuff. It's like, oh well Can't really do anything I mean, I can do a lot of stuff, but I can't do recordings, which is a problem Fortunately, I used to be like I would never record ahead of time because I was editing my own stuff And that was a nightmare because like I'd be like four straight days without my voice and I Like what do I do for videos? I don't know what to do because I don't have a voice. Okay. We have a Center ion not iron another old shrimp But now I have a couple videos that I recorded before it got really bad So fortunately for that, we will have a couple PSA returns that I recorded coming soon Which uh, by the way, if you want to get a little sneak preview with those You can buy some stuff on my my website So I will listed some of those cards on my website ruxson34.com That's all I'm going to give you because I don't want to spoil too much of the uh the videos coming But there are some listed there if you're interested Some people have already found them. So yeah, if you're if you're keeping an eye on ruxson34.com recently I've been doing a lot more stuff on there. I've been putting a lot of oh, we got a is that a crimp? No, it isn't okay. I've been posting singles I've been posting sealed stuff that you can get open stuff that you can be ship sealed A lot of cool stuff like that if you want to see a box breaks, of course I've always been on there But uh, there's like a couple hundred items on there now versus normally there used to be like three Okay Dying smashers has been pretty boring for me.  I can't pull anything good out of it Not only can I not pull a card? I won. I can't pull even a high rarity card So we're looking we're attempting to get there. We have a all speaking of look at that Asking you shall receive a collector rare center iron Ion not iron I keep saying an ion emeth. Okay collector rare very nice cool stuff Okay, next up We have a dark honest. We have a oh back to back Okay, all right. So I was like, well, we hadn't got anything that uh, you know high rarity We get two in a row two collectors. There's only four in this case. We just got two in two packs. That's pretty insane All right, we'll take it. I'm interested to see what the qcr ratios are though Still haven't pulled any of those who have been three boxes previously. There's a whole new case So we should see like the case ratio. I would guess here Um, I'm guessing it would be like three per case That would be good because then you get seven high rarity cards. It seems decent versus like, you know I'm either separated you get three qcrs. That's it And here you only get four collectors. So it's not a lot. Okay valiant smashers. Keep on smashing We've got a couple of collector rares, which is very solid Not the best said ever. I've noticed you guys were not super excited about it in the comments I did ask if you were and a lot of you guys like, eh, not really. So yeah, I understand It's not like the best said.  Obviously Uh, there's a couple more, you know But goose does not a bad card There's a couple things in here that aren't bad And then there's the new archetypes that I know people a few people are excited about those I saw that some people were like, yeah, I've been really pumped for these three archetypes That's the cool part about the collector rares sets is they have three brand new archetypes Which uh, I I don't it's amazing that they can just keep making new archetypes and they're like You can everything like that pretty difficult thing to do making new sets that are actually good We have uh, which obviously this one's not so much but Just like I understand the struggle with trying to make a new archetype every time that's actually pretty good We have another ultra the combined creation. Okay. Still a lot of packs left. The voice is Ready to stop talking. I can tell you that right now. All right, there can be only one. That's a good one Not there can only be one there can be only one. That's the one I always get wrong Gravity another super yeah valiant smashers a little bit of a more low key video today in this one Hopefully you guys still enjoy opening, you know watching the opening and everything like that I'm hoping that you'll be feeling better for the next couple days I'm gonna try to rest the voice even though I do have to do a uh I had to do the announcing for a basketball game tonight. That's gonna be tough They're like announcing as in like the pa, you know, just like the Just a few things not like literally every play but just the baskets and the fouls and everything So it's gonna be hard like this. That's gonna be hard. I'm gonna rest after this recording I'm gonna get this to Kenneth. I'm gonna not say a word until that tonight So hopefully I will that won't hurt me for tomorrow and then tomorrow I can not talk all day until Until we actually get to the stream. So this is the least I've talked in a long time I didn't realize how you don't really realize how much you don't stop talking until you can't talk anymore You're like, man, I never shut up. Okay, which is guess what I should have realized it those emails told me all along You talk too much. We got the bone party bone party interesting Okay, where's the qcr? It's like how hard are they to pull because like they shouldn't change the ratios, right?  They have qcrs that are one every three Uh or whatever four boxes then you could have I guess qcrs that are even rarer I mean, that's the weird part about this rarity. Some of them are hard to pull some of them are not Hard to keep up with to be honest. It makes it confusing. I feel like they it should be consistent with the rarity It shouldn't be like hard to pull in one easy to pull in another because then like you see it and you think oh, it's rare And then you're like, well, it's not actually that's what people in like 10 years will be so confused about They're like, oh, yeah, I have one of those quarter century secrets from the 25th anniversary It's super rare, right? They're hard to pull and they're like, no, that wasn't a 10 And they're like, oh never mind Oh monica and they're like, but no, no, that's like the people I don't understand now They're like, this is rare. I'm like, no, it's not like, yeah, no, it is like, okay Sure, believe it. Believe it if you want, but it's not. Let's keep going. We have a center ion Not iron ion. I'm almost saying the same thing though with that the way I'm saying it Im blema oath another ultra. Then you know that, okay, I will say I don't like collector sets There's one thing I really love about them and that is when I'm listing the cards There's hardly any polls so it's super easy to list because if it's like three ultras per 12 box You get 36 polls and then you get the collector's and that's it So I guess we might have qcrs here. I hope so I'll add a couple more So it's like 40 50 cards after list That's it because the supers are never worth anything that rares are never worth anything So it's very easy on me a lot of times though you take L's though They're usually not worth too much but Uh, it is nice because when I do something like rarity collection in every freaking card I got to check and make sure it's not worth something That's a nightmare to list on tcg player and on my website Which I will be listing cards from the set on my website I will probably wait to do that until we do the live stream though So whenever we do the live stream saturday, I'll probably get all my stuff together that I'm on the list I'll post it on my website everything over 20 bucks anything under 20. I usually put on TCG player That's the new thing I've been doing with my website instead of Posting everything on tcg because they take a much bigger fee Then of my website, I just take the paypal fee or the uh stripe fee So I save a lot like a large percentage there about 10% So it's a little bit better for me to sell it there Just takes longer to list on my website But I figured if I'm gonna tell you guys about it and you guys know what's going to be there I might as well as listed there We have a super and uh, I think that's the right to say it's also a little bit easier to ship for my website So the time to list is a little longer, but the time to Ship is a little bit better So I think it actually evens out and especially when I only have a few different listings like with collector rare sets It makes it way easier and with a rarity collection There's only a few cards over 20 bucks So it didn't really and with this one maybe because there's so few listings that might put everything on there Oh, we finally got a qcr Uh Where is it right here? Wait, okay. Yeah, it's at the end. Okay. Our first qcr out of valiant smashers Whatever this card this thing's called will it be the art store christy? I think there's only three qcrs in here Let's see look at the trick clown. We have a magic planter. By the way, we saw it on the side. That's how we know It was there. Uh, okay for the short. We have supply squad advanced draw call the haunted We have the lutea and Okay, we have a center ion legatia. So this is not Art store christia. All right, so we did get at least a qcr I don't know how many we're gonna get but I'm hoping it's three. Maybe we'll get all of them Who knows? Oh another oh another collector rare wait They make these easier or are we just getting all of them dark way dark honest collector rare? That's a weird choice. This isn't even an old card. It's from lightning overdrive I guess two years but interest. That's a weird one. Okay, so we have three collector rares and qcr already Okay, I feel like dark honest is not gonna do well because that wasn't even an expensive card Normally, it's kind of funny. All right. Uh, well, I mean we'll take it.  We have a super should have one more collector We're two more qcrs if it's normal ratio, which I'm guessing is probably just what it is And we're just getting a little lucky getting them earlier. All right valiant smashers Keep on smashing. We have a angelo Super excited for that stream tomorrow though. Actually the word is really I'm anxious for the stream because of my voice I would be excited I would be pumped if I you know had a normal voice right now I am anxious now that i'm not going to be able to talk I've been anxious for the last like three days like am I going to be able to get nervous anxious? What's the right word for that whichever one it is I'm just worried that it's going to get there. I'm going to be like coughing which I'm hoping I'm trying not to do Just hope that doesn't happen So that's where we're keeping it low today But I am excited because that is a crazy crazy stream And I'm also pumped that a lot of the packs have sold already. We got uh Ian actually helped out with a little uh a little giveaway for the stream I haven't decided exactly what it's going to be But I think it may be some packs opened for a random person in the stream So you want to make sure you are there? It's probably going to be dual casted on to youtube But if you want to win a giveaway, you got to be there on whatnot as well So make sure you go to the whatnot thing That's where you can get some we'll have more giveaways as well like rarity collection Giving away, I think three boxes of that at the moment I'm going to be adding more giveaways haven't completely Decided what I want to do just yet But when I'm you know resting my voice a lot plenty of time to figure that out But it should be a pretty epic event. I mean I'm really pumped We're going to also the if you can't make this stream, which I hope you can but if you can't We will be cutting this down into 11 different videos There's another collector room the true day because we're going to have the first 11 sets So we're probably going to do a little fun thing at the beginning of december Doing like december 1st like december 11th with starting with ast going all the way to lob And so uh that way you guys can relive it one if you were there you can relive it in a cut down priced out version We'll probably have some tsa prices and everything for everything pulled And if you weren't there then obviously you can live it for the first time So I think that'll be pretty fun Also december is usually kind of like a slower month because of uh, you know slower in terms of there's not anything new Which is like probably a good thing for you. Yeah, and it's usually like you know top 25 pulls and stuff like that So we're gonna do we're gonna start it off I think with uh those booster boxes being opened and you guys get to get to watch those and obviously lob being open It's pretty crazy and you get to revisit all those old school ones And then we'll do some other classic stuff as well in december such as the top 25 such as uh, you know Reviewing best sets of the year like we did last year. That was fun Probably have a stinker of the year putting your I might actually put out a little form So you guys can vote. So if you're not if you're in the discord, you'll probably get to vote So go join the discord. It's free by the way. There is a paid version if you want to support me Um, but that the free version is like like 75 of it probably you don't actually need to pay to get in on it So go check that out If you've made if you guys make it far into this video I'm gonna be shocked because the way I'm talking I'm not very enthusiastic. You guys might appreciate that Let's just say that. Okay. We are making progress on this opening. I feel like I'm opening pretty fast today We got another collector where I didn't even really acknowledge it. We have true day of the collectorist We have four collectors one qcr very interesting. We have a Memento Memento clan bone party the bone party. It's bones. You know, what's nice about not being able to talk is I'm not trying to pronounce these names. I'm just skipping over. I'm like, yep. That's a super Making it easier on me. All right. We have a Memento lone bone party. Whatever that thing's called another bone Party a lot of those bone parties going on right now a lot of cards being open today. All right. All right valiant smashers Let's keep going. We have a not they're one of those link guys But like three out of last four packs a lot of the same cards Longer video if you guys do like this set though, don't forget. I do have an affiliate link 5 off of my discount code I know not the best set ever. I'm not like saying you should go buy it But if you do like it, you might as well use my code, right? So personally not super excited if you are excited about the archer of christia though Maybe or if you're excited about the three archetypes coming out. This might be for you Not my favorite. That's why we're not going super crazy on it. We're doing our normal stuff, but Saturday, uh, we're probably not gonna open like an insane amount But I think we should be able to get to christia fairly easily because if there's only three qcrs in theory It shouldn't be that hard, right? Um, we have a okay combined creation Well, I really don't know if we're doing well because like if the center ion are good Then they were probably good because we've gotten a lot of those collector They're not good. Then we're probably not doing so well center iron bonds Allianz smashers. Come on. We have a valmonica Intoner, I'm slowly getting to the end. We're probably like halfway through I would say right now We have oh y'all monica the Agatha Cacoological voice I got the cacoological voice. I don't think that's how you say that but that's that's a long one Okay, what do you expect from me? I can barely talk much less pronounce that. Okay Much less pronounce that we have a center iron bonds again Magician of bonds and unity when's the next one coming out soon? Is it gonna have a red background? I really don't know I think there's what two more there four total or three total We pull the yellow one. We have not pulled the green one Center iron bonds these cards are going everywhere another qcr will it happen? There's a like one per case that they make it harder. Who knows? Valmonica, here we go. I realized that now I don't look through my camera. I just look at the name Maybe that's why I was doing that with the platinum thing. Sean I look above my phone and all I could see is the name of the card I don't know That's the like the way I have to like think about it to look down like I really I guess maybe it's because of the motion and it's like Less shifty, I guess on like the camera. It's not like any like motion sickness kind of thing happening I'm just watching it on the real thing Maybe that's why I don't know who knows I think I need to get my contacts checked out because they're like I can't even like look at computer screens at 90 more. I'm like, oh, so I don't know what's going on I have terrible vision. That's all I know So it's been bad for a long time since like I think I got glasses in like third Second grade third grade. I think it was what it was not totally sure actually We have a uh, Trudea center ion We do have that in collector and those are the last collector we're pulled the smashers of valiant Give us another qcr so far. We only have one so Maybe they're only like two per case even one per case. Who knows we could have pulled it already I'm not totally sure. Look at this guy the horned dragon. Pretty cool. We'll try horn action Is that a try horn like retrain? I'm not totally sure The legatio I think we have that one in collector as well a lot of packs are being open But we are not pulling any qcr archlor christia. I'm gonna say that I'm gonna throw that out there No archlor christia just yet still looking longer video But I think we might actually make this one a little shorter last time at rarity collection We did the two case opening on our video. That was long. That was too long. I decided, you know what? We can't do two cases. That's just too much But for rarity collection, it was okay because rarity collection was so good for a cell like this I don't think we're getting the two cases. Yeah, this set's not great. Um Um Center ion very cool. Oh man. Oh man. Here we go. We have a Moment to land mace Packs are our cards are trying to go everywhere, but I refuse to allow it to happen We have a super right there valiant smashers Let me tell you what this kind of set when there's not so much hype It is so much less stressful for the selling as I was saying earlier just in general We don't order like like we went crazy with rarity collection that took forever and especially with the seven rarities Oh my goodness. It was an absolute nightmare to list. I had to make sure every time I was clicking uh prismatic collector or not prismatic ultimate rare They they had seven versions. I'm trying not to mess up any of them I think I only messed up a couple on the listings then on the packaging and everything and then there was like So many different money cards. I had a list. It was rough It was super super rough trying to get those all straight.  You want it to be nice and easy There's only a couple collectors that you can't really mess them up. There's only the ultra rare So there's not even secrets or anything. I don't have to really mess up any of that stuff So it will make this so much easier this weekend when I'm going through and listing stuff Which is gonna be a crazy weekend because we're gonna have all those what not orders I'm gonna have to ship and then I'm gonna list these and they're gonna have to ship So it's gonna be a nutty an absolutely nutty weekend and next week So it's already been a crazy week this week because of a couple sponsor. We had a sponsor this week already We have the what not stream Uh is a sponsored thing and then we have a raid raid stream this saturday for this. So it's another sponsor So dealing with those is like you got to get everything coordinated You got to make sure you have the right stuff. You got to get everything posted that you're supposed to post It is it's a lot. It's a lot.   So I get stuff Let's see on ruxand34.com stuff like that. I'm not like having to like sleep all day So that's good. I'm not completely out of commission But I am out of commission on the part that's kind of important which is talking So yeah, oh, yeah, if you guys have made it this point the video We gotta have a secret code and I'm impressed with you guys if you guys have made it this long Especially with me talking like this got to be something about the voice. How about a hyper voice ruxin? That sounds like That's something good that i'm using the pokemon move hyper voice rocks hyper voice ruxin Whatever you want to say something like that and then people be like, what if I go Why is it they sing hyper voice? Is it because he's lost his voice? No, it's because you're it's a special code for all you real viewers you true Committed fans of the channel right now that are here 30 minutes in and we have made a significant progress I'm very happy with myself that I've made it this far without any significant issue. I'm going to jinx myself So knock on wood for me right now, but uh, we have made it the recording at least this far. So that's good That's a good thing What if I looked up in there? It wasn't recording. This would be the absolute worst time for that to happen It is recording though. So we're good center iron This is also the first time I haven't streamed on twitch all week because of my voice I needed to rest my voice both uh, wednesday and monday and then friday We're going to be doing the whatnot stream so we won't be streaming then so this will be the first time all year Which it was one of my commitments to do three a week and i've done pretty good on that other than like something I if it is replaced by youtube or something like that. I don't count that and then if i'm sick I'm not obviously if i'm sick that shouldn't count against me right let's keep going So uh, yeah overall, we've done pretty good on that goal But unfortunately we had to this week we didn't really get to it So we'll get back to that hopefully next week. I'll be good But I have a bad feeling that this is gonna last a while, which is not good. All the remedies. Hopefully will help though All the remedies will help. I'm hoping There's super we're getting out of where we can see the end which is pretty nice Center, I if this is all center ion it feels like every ultra almost every ultra at least is center ion So i'm guessing that's the big one of the set the big uh, archetype. Okay Allian smashers it's been Quite a battle. We have a volmonica selta. So volmonica at least they have that ultra I guess feels like a lot more Uh, not too many of them are but I think there's a couple Ultras we have a Volmonica super there's plenty of those the big benefit of these sets is that you can build a deck some not not easily But easier than other decks because you know a lot of the cards are in there You do have to buy some boxes though or buy all the singles obviously, but they don't take like one box I take a couple boxes. I think okay. We have a Minto anguish. So, okay. There's some cards that are not center ion ultra rare Maybe i'm just getting the same ones over another potential. All right arts nemesis angelo almost to the end of the uh We call this the voice marathon pack opening Voice lost marathon seeing if we can do it get all the way to the end colossal fighter another nice reprint Just saw that like 30 minutes in I just oh, yeah, that's a good one. Okay. Is that a collector rare in here? It probably does right? All right. All right. We are definitely down to we're definitely over half I'm gonna say we're probably like a third left. Maybe a fourth or six seven nine nine stacks if those have like 10 packs these would be 90 packs It'd be about three point something boxes. Yeah, probably where we are Well, one of the stacks doesn't have that many we have emblema. Oh, so that's another non center ion So center ion might just have less than I thought maybe we're just pulling those same ones over and over We could be down to like 72 packs left three boxes something like that Okay, that's one's nothing too exquisite exciting there I'm really wondering about these qcr ratios though. I guess we're gonna find out very soon If there's nothing left in here one in a case is actually like Oh, that's not as easy as I thought they'd be the arch lord christian may not appear as often as I would like Which even then it's still only whatever three cases if it's one per case on average So that's still like less than a normal a way less than a normal starlet or collector rare.  Is he a comedian or something? What's going on there comedian ion? So that's supposed to be like centurion. Is that what that is? Is that what that is? Do you say centurion or do you say centurion? Wow took me this long to realize this. Yeah, it's kind of cringe Okay, I figured it out. I think it's supposed to be shinsher centurion So we have some some biblical references. That's pretty cool. Also, uh, I don't know how to pronounce it Is this center ion centurion? I bet it's center ion, but it's like based on centurion, right? Trying to figure this out very late. This is what happens in long streams You start looking at them differently the whole time you're like, what is this? Vamanica and these qcr's man. They're not really Showing up very well qcr ain't showing up center ion bonds centurion bonds We are down to a small amount left Super very small amount We are down to our last few hopes to get I would say we're like six in a stack times nine or 50 on stuff 54 Might as well. This one does not have a lot, but some of them probably don't have six in the stack That's still a decent amount of packs though last little bit. Come on Vamanica i'm getting hot in here. This room is cooking I need to this room that I the room that I record in for some reason it gets super hot So it might be because I have a million things in here. That's possibly why but it gets really hot too many too much cardboard It's overheating my room at this point. We have a Zebra, where are you qcr's? Chosen melody we are uh We went or we got a lot of high rarity cards early We got like one collector and the last like hundred packs. It feels like So that's the problem with these sets not the most exciting to open up Because it can be quite a while before you pull anything good. There's an ultra at least logatia Let's see if we can get something epic. We have a Uh-oh center ion Trudia Trudia Oh man, I just kicked that pack with my finger Can you kick with a finger? Not really sure. I just said that I did not sure if you can even do that Will we get anything else crazy for the end of this? I'm not sure. Maybe we will Maybe we won't maybe we'll end on a dud. I don't know. I feel like we're gonna get another qcr Right, you're not gonna get one in a case, right? Even though I don't know one seems more likely than two though now that I think about it because one per case You know, that's pretty standard. A lot of things have done it ghost rares You know, whatever I guess it was just ghost rares isn't anything else been one per case I guess they made star lights one per case for battles legend crystal revenge It's just a thing that it's just easy to do so they could make these one per case Which battles legend crystal revenge was the last set of the year and this is the last set of the year So who knows maybe there's some correlation there if you don't include the the Structure deck or whatever which that doesn't count doesn't count as a set. All right valiant smashers We're down to the last couple boxes here for sure. We have a momento. I'm saying momento bone party There's like more after that momento it's land momenta it's land But I'm not gonna it's too hard. I'm just gonna say momento, okay It's gonna say momento my voice can't handle it right now Wow, okay, this has been epic Don't forget guys before you leave to go bookmark my what not show tomorrow go to the link in the description $15 for free by the way if you have never done that for whatever you buy on what not and just bookmark the show that a rucksack 34 Uh profile you can go to shows there's a little tab that says shows You can just press that bookmark and you guys will not miss the stream trust at 5 p.m. Central tomorrow Hopefully you guys can be there. I know some of you guys and like you're up and stuff It's gonna be a little late for you guys, but it's kind of just a good time for everybody else, unfortunately But it'll it'll you'll be able to see some of it for it And as I said there will be videos coming out. So if you miss something You'll be able to see that. Okay, we have dino Diminu dmono. Wow. It's looking like we might only get one qcr Which means saturday is actually gonna be more interesting stream than expected It might be a little harder than I thought.  So let's get to those Volmonica cut these down a little bit cut them down to size For the last few packs of the opening. Thank you guys for enjoying the video Even though I don't sound the best right now I'm a little proud of myself though for getting through it and sounding relatively normal You know, I'm not as excited as normal because I can't get as excited as normal or else I'm gonna you know, you know when you have this like thing and then it feels like you Like cut into your throat and then it's like just there for the rest of the day And you just start coughing every time you talk. Well that I'm trying to avoid that happening. So That's why I'm being a little quieter. Um, I've already said that a million times But yeah, so you guys understand but thank you guys for watching it and enjoying it anyway And uh, don't forget, you know, we got a big stream Tomorrow and tonight. So we got the what not stream night side smashers stream tomorrow There will be giveaways in both of those. So if you are want to potentially want to give away I also announced to giveaway winners recently on the youtube community tab Still a couple that I have not shipped from last time. So don't freak out yet I've just had a lot going on. So we'll be getting there soon. Will we get another qcr? I'm guessing no at this point one qcr per case. So it's yeah, I was acting like oh, yeah Well, uh, they made these a little better by putting qcrs They added one guard per case one card. So that does make it a little better But yeah, one card per case not the most exciting It is cool that it is qcr, but the thing is qcrs are really easy to get in rarity collection So it's like, okay, I'm getting a much harder to pull rarity that I can pull a rarity collection really easily So kind of a weird thing there. I'm not really sure how I feel about them using the same rarity and different pull rates so many times Yeah, so rarity collection It's like three per box and you can get them one every four boxes in a regular set and here It's one every case and then you can get them as promos. So they're all over the map. They're literally everything So at this point, I'm assuming unless these two were qcrs, which would be crazy that you're getting one per case pretty strange Stand up center ion and the final pack of the video if you guys have enjoyed it Don't forget to subscribe Hopefully I'll be more upbeat in future videos when I can actually talk and don't forget of course The whatnot stream tonight at 5 p.m. And the stream tomorrow is going to be epic as well We got nothing in there. So yeah, okay. That was yeah That's a collector reset for you not that exciting to open up five big pulls Shout out to tome for show dax or tomato juice puppets of doom or nester dn at america doisier supreme stage 21 cj leo grind 62 yugioh unboxed it in a thai show in moosey jr.

Drought stress is a major environmental factor that affects plant productivity and distribution. It causes morphological, physiological, and biochemical changes in plants to reduce water loss through transpiration and increase water use efficiency. Stomate closure is one of the first responses to drought, which leads to adjustments in photosynthesis and defense mechanisms against stress. Techniques such as aquaporin synthesis and osmolite accumulation can be used to increase tolerance to drought and crop species. This review highlights the impact of drought on plant features and mechanisms of tolerance that could be exploited for increased survival under limited water availability. Additionally, applicative strategies are discussed to help plants counteract unfavorable drought periods. This article was authored by Dirty Kapoor, Savita Bardwaj, Marco Landi, and others.

Well today I have a bevy of new stories here for you guys on Tears of the Kingdom, including brand new screenshots of Tears of the Kingdom provided by Nintendo, updates on pre-orders, more marketing goodness, and more. So what are we doing, let's get into this video after I remind you that we are giving away a Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo Switch, OLED Edition, a Collector's Edition of Tears of the Kingdom, along with a pin from PAX East you can enter down in the pinned comment or in the description. You have about a week left to enter because we are drawing the winners on May 12th. That being said, let's get right into the news. Our first story deals with an update on pre-order items, so a lot of various outlets have had a ton of different pre-order items, and that's pretty cool, I don't know where you guys have pre-ordered the game if you're getting it physically and trying to collect some sort of pre-order item, Walmart has them, GameStop, etc. Well, Target has now updated what their pre-order item is going to be, and it's actually going to be an adventure hip-pack, which is basically like a fanny pack, meant to sit on your hip sort of like what Link does with some of his satchels. It looks pretty damn cool, we have some close-ups here, thanks to the Tears of the Kingdom reddit, it must be an employee at Target. It's pretty neat, I do think that this is maybe one of the better items out of all of the pre-order items to get, and remember, it's only while supplies last, right? So it's only a limited number of these we'll be able to hand out. Now, our next story is actually pretty neat. Yesterday we talked about how Best Buy, some Best Buys maybe had some really cool marketing, Four Tears of the Kingdom on the outside of their building. While we have more marketing pop up in other countries, in Madrid, Spain, there's this giant mural outdoors, it looks really cool. It has the game box there, it's got the giant official art, it's letting you know when it comes out on May 12th. It's just a really, really cool piece of art, and I mean, maybe I'd rather have this than what the Best Buy did, but that's not the only type of marketing. We're also seeing in Melbourne, Australia, their public transit has Tears of the Kingdom plastered all over it as well, and you could see, and you know, way down on the left of the image, you see the official art in the middle. You've got obviously Link, you know, his little Meebo pose, and then we have the trailer, and as you can see, you know, I'm sorry, the logo, and then as you can see, the patterns all around are those circles and all that, so again, looks really, really cool. Nintendo is going all out with the marketing right now, plastering this game everywhere, so I think that's pretty cool. Now, our next story deals with Nintendo, New York, and Tears of the Kingdom because they have opened up their sign-ups for a midnight launch of Tears of the Kingdom. They are going to have exclusive merchandise only for people at that midnight launch, but spots are limited. Obviously, we wish they had these stores pretty much all over the world that would be pretty cool, but you know, in the back of my mind, I kind of wish Nintendo would just partner with a Best Buy or some sort of national or worldwide chain and just do a similar midnight launch in more areas, but what are you going to do? This is the Nintendo New York Special. We'll have a link to the sign-up if you happen to live in that area and want to go to their midnight launch below. Now, another story here we have for you guys, got a couple more to go, is Nintendo released a story recap video for anyone who needs a reminder of what happened in Breath of the Wild leading into Tears of the Kingdom, and it's a pretty good story recap, and they actually provide a smidge of a tease for Tears of the Kingdom when they sent this out to press anyways. This isn't actually included on the video. In the press release of this video, it says, here's what you can expect in Tears of the Kingdom, an epic adventure across the land and skies of Hyrule awaits in the Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch. The adventure is yours to create in a world fueled by your imagination. In this sequel to the Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild, you'll decide your own path through the sprawling landscapes of Hyrule and the mysterious islands floating in the vast skies above. Can you harness the power of Link's new abilities to fight back against the malevolent forces that threaten the kingdom? So pretty interesting there, and I watched the entire six-minute video as well of the Breath of the Wild recap story. Look, if you play Breath of the Wild 100%, you'll know that, oh, there's all these little intricate details missing. It's just meant to be a general summary to catch people up who maybe didn't play Tears of the Kingdom. Maybe didn't play Breath of the Wild leading into Tears of the Kingdom. So that's pretty cool. I think it does its job as intended for the audience it is aimed for, and now we get to get into the most exciting part of the video, brand new content revealed by Nintendo themselves. This is what I'm talking about, folks. This is what we've been waiting for. This is what excites me. So, number one, we have this. This gotcha ball machine screenshot.  So that's really cool. It gives you building materials. It gives you a reason to want to fight enemies and collect the zonai charges. I find that to be really cool. I don't know if all of these are located up in the sky or not, but I do think that that is really, really neat. And beyond that, we need to talk about another new screenshot. This is guys, I'm gonna warn you right now it's something completely brand new, but as it was unfailed by the official Zelda thing, we could talk about at least some of it. And here you go, here's that brand new screenshot. What is going on? There's that hand thing. We got some zonai sort of stuff coming out from the two dragons there. There's some text in the background, some sort of rune area. Looks like maybe quicksand behind it.  Well, the official tweet says the following, once again, I found something strange on a sky island. A mysterious pattern emerges. But what exactly is this? Now, thanks to the game leaking out there, we obviously know what this is, but I said I wasn't gonna talk about those spoilers. So we're not gonna give any other extra clues over what this particular thing is. Somebody though has gone through and in Japan and zoomed in on the little area, the little map and they said there's an island that looks like an axe. There's a gotcha mark and there's something about the green mark. So it's really interesting because, hey, this is official media released. I don't know what any of this means, but it's really cool to see that if you zoom in on that mini map, you get some additional details in an island shaped like an axe. Quite interesting. All right, guys. So that's it for today on our little news update here. A bunch of stories gathered for Tears of the Kingdom. I hope you really had a good time.  Remember, we're on our road to 133,000 subscribers. So I'd appreciate if you drop a like and subscribe to the channel.


So, hello, so who are you? Hi, I'm Vahid Akhavan. I am one of the development engineers at Nova Centrics I have been with the company for Around three years now a little bit more than three years and it's a very exciting place to be working actually I have been in many different situations previously Nova Centrics we get to interact with many different customers and it's It's actually a very big thrill to be here in Berlin to be representing Were you working with printer electronic stuff before? I was I was actually concentrating on six photovoltaics for social process both solar cells and the six photovoltaics business actually requires a process called sound station and In the sound station process what we do is we place Copper indium gallium films in a selenium rich atmosphere and we annealed that at 500 degrees or higher temperatures and We can form a Copper indium gallium selenite not a crystal structure that can be used as absorbent material for photovoltaics, so what I was doing as a graduate student. I was working to to create copper indium gallium selenite crystals in a solution and then I was a spray depositing the solution onto the back contact and then Making a device out of that. So that was a few years ago that did ship commercially We did do some commercial stuff. Unfortunately that that is still a development project much And has not really taken off So comparatively, what's going on here at Nova Centrics? What what kind of stuff is happening? What are you working on? So at Nova Centrics we work mainly on Mainly on print electronics, obviously that's why we're here What what the main goals of Nova Centrics is is to deliver the tools that can be That can be used to generate the next generation of devices in the electronics business So we deliver nano crystalline-based inks that can be printed into conductive circuitry and then we deliver Photonic curing equipment, which are the state-of-the-art flash lamp systems that that use quite a few added features to a flash lamp system to enable Uniform pulse control to enable fast processing rate through water cooling of the flash heads that enable control of the Full production through a user interface and but also enable a Simulation of the temperature profile within the short processing windows that we have Um We have established with photonic curing So is it a fun job for the engineers at the Nova Centrics to make all this stuff? Absolutely. So what happens every day? So at Nova Centrics, it's it's No two days are alike. I have been there for a little bit more than three years as I said and we have been Expanding into very new territories that I never thought possible. We have been working on displays on battery on storage devices on on textiles on An unvariety of different techniques and all of these things were Dream or a vision a few years ago, but they are slowly taking shape into reality And we we will we are expanding and we put our photonic curing equipments are now Incorporated in actual production lines where Where this is something very new for us. So it's kind of Interesting and what what's possible with printer electronics? Is it is it kind of like a printed PCB on a Plastic and stuff and then but it's a low resolution compared to Other kinds of PCBs. What's possible? What's going to happen? I mean PCBs is one one Venue that's very interesting. I mean The ability to print Circuit board instead of having to manufacture a circuit board and an environment is Is amazing but that in itself Will not displace the At its current stage will not displace the conventional PCB manufacturing Conventional PCB manufacturing has been for a long around for a long time and people actually are very entrenched in that In that business. So I want to replace that but there are there are many new Venues at which we can apply these concepts that open up Open up opportunities that don't actually exist today, and I think that's where Print electronics can come into play. So for example textiles is a great example of this is happening. So this is uh Is a real it's kind of like it can be worn. It can be worn. There's a battery in there and then so this This prototype is does I can't wear it I just don't want to wear it because I will make it smell. Yeah, and then we have to wash it. But um, this prototype trambi is operating on a kind of a hybrid system or that We have printed conductive silver paths that that are um That are screen printed out of silver materials that novacentrics manufacturers and but the the leds the battery pack that the actual connectors the control board are all conventionally available Structures this Demonstration is used to demonstrate the versatility of and the ability to actually print Conductive patterns on clothing and still achieve very good and pasty on these patterns on these circuits So how do you do that? That's a different machine, right? So, I mean this is a screen printed sample It does not necessarily use the photonic curing equipment Even though we would like to use the photonic curing equipment for various Aspects of what we would deliver to the Garment industry. It is not a necessity for the government See that at novacentrics we work on so many variety of different techniques to actually Process the materials one of them being the photonic curing equipment So, um the printed electronics is pretty cool, uh Area area right absolutely So But how how soon is it everywhere in the world? Is it already a little bit? So printed electronics Is expanding rapidly actually we are getting into into the Customer world through our RFID manufacturing through manufacturing of Items that because of proprietary nature of these items, I can't discuss them in full detail here, but these things will be Ubiquitous in every day life and we will no longer believe in them as printed electronics We will believe in them as everyday items. So they will not be a distinction between The real world and our world we are the real world But the consumers are going to be a little bit impressed when they see this kind of stuff arrive around the world and they'll be like, uh Overwhelmed or they'll be like, ah, it's just okay. This this technology For because printed electronics world is being slowly incorporated into into the conventional electronics world what we are experiencing is that Consumers no longer can tell the difference whether an item was printed or an item was uh edged or an item was stamped these are all kind of being meshed together into a Into a unison that that the that the Consumer will no longer be able to distinguish these and if the consumer is no longer just being able to distinguish this I think that's the highest honor that the printed electronics world can can achieve So you said etched or stamped are those the conventional ways Well, those are the conventional ways for making for example RFID tag antennas is either Etched copper or stamped aluminum are Added additive technology by depositing the middle on ink and processing with the pulse force system Is a unique operation that doesn't require either etching or stamping So you said you were working in displays and in power batteries Yes, so amazing and awesome. They are amazing and awesome. Absolutely. There is there's a lot of things happening Unfortunately, we only have a limited bandwidth to work on specific items, but we believe we can work with quite a lot of Experience partners that are experienced in these fields that are helping us achieve Goals that are being set in the in the displays or in the in the storage devices or in Other types of electronic manufacturing So has it been at the at the show the printer at the show is great We have had two very productive busy days In our past and we are hoping that the leads we have generated from this show will pan out to Real partners and real customers


Okay it happens to be Saturday afternoon June the 15th 2013 June the 15th already how about that huh welcome everyone and welcome to progressive discussions we are coming to you live and pre-recorded because by time you end up seeing this is pre-recorded but it's still uncensored always uncensored always corporate and FCC free but we're coming to you from the newsletter censored research center probably collected by the NSA screwed am like I was saying we're coming to you from the newsletter censored research center in North East New Jersey so but let me formally pipe aboard my illustrious co-host and mentor the very founder of newsletter censored in 1977 and if you want to find out all about it the newsletter just go to newsletterscensor.com so I will pipe him aboard our progressive liberal Starship we got upgraded just like you upgrade your computer software or we upgrade it from a pirate ship to a Starship oh it's a dual piping aboard not only my co-host and mentor but mr. V for vendetta anonymous right here mr. anonymous mr. V for vendetta and my co-host because in spirit this guy's my co-host to maybe welcome aboard the progressive Starship the one and only the Reverend Dr. William J. Eisenman what how are you feeling this week sir you have to bear with me because I have a voice problem this week he had some troubles with his throat or I burned my vocal cord and it seems a little pretty good right now but yesterday it was like I had laryngeitis laryngeitis laryngeitis yeah okay so I will have to you know just be a little careful yeah well what probably happened is when you were drinking your your mega vitamin C drink when Ron I went down the wrong pipe it went down the wrong pipe yeah and being that vitamin C is an acid it wasn't the stove pipe no which we have a stove pipe but you'll see later on finally we have a stove pipe the guy just like them the right-wing counterfeit Christian yes we do have this we do have a stove right that's right here it's crude but it it works where you'll get it see if he's listening yeah we see if he's listening pretend I'm a self-righteous zealot evangelical right-wing religious nut you know bigoted and knowing nothing about the Bible but claims that they talk to God Republican hello gourd that's the Archie bunker gourd gourd are you have anything to tell me okay it's okay to cut social programs for the poor it's a second you sure you're talking to God yeah but we're Republicans we have a stove pipe to God what's that God it's okay for the rich not to pay taxes and make that make the middle-class pay it because we we create your jobs in in in in where the hell do we create jobs again in India and China you know I thought it was a matter I thought it'll be created in America now they're created by small businesses that have less than 500 employees they produce 60 to 64 percent of all the jobs in America really and it's okay to be a bigot and deport deport people of color for a Latin heritage no we want them to self-deport can you imagine that oh God said it's okay and it's okay to hire illegal aliens for cheap labor oh yeah and h1b h1b visas and outsourcing importing h1b's and outsourcing American jobs because it's selfishness is a virtue and and and greed is good greed is good wow God God's letting us do all these things I think you got the wrong stove pipe going to the wrong person I think you're talking to the other guy to get away of life you know diesel the stove pipe do you hear me do you know who we are yeah wonder how this would sound with the Xylon voice with the Jews harp the only thing is I would have to can't hold both things I would have to I would have to do this and wow anyway certain certain things you have to do one at a time that's true you know the old stove pipe but anyway all right let's let's get back to business here chiseler's hall of shame the chiseler's hall of shame for those of you that are members of our Facebook groups is exactly how it sounds it's a hall of fame for chiseler's and chiseler's take any form could be any business could be retail stores it could be a certain product you know lying commercials it could be a restaurant that's chisels you as a customer you know it could be it could take many forms but the one thing they all have in common is that under Republicans there they are allowed to chisel because they are deregulated all right now okay t-mobile now there's the quantum self t-mobile boost maybe there's a merger going on they're always changing the name the us the usually change their name when they do something bad cell phone wireless providers cell phone providers you know like Alec changed its name now because we have all the exposure that we found out how they were writing the laws for our congressmen and women and stuff like that's like that's like a sleazy company that that advertises on the infomercial late night TV once they get court screwing people over all of a sudden their PO box is gone their name is gone their avatar and then they come back as somebody else yeah reincarnation they get reincarnated but okay what Republicans think that's okay because you're supposed to like as a buyer you're supposed to be aware anyway t-mobile this came from a friend of mine he did not want me to use his name because he is so almost like vendetta there yeah he is so ultra liberal that he wants everybody to like him and I quote he wants everybody to like him and he wants to make friends and he don't want to say anything negative I said to him don't ever come on progressive discussions no because we'll make your hair curl and your and your blood coital that's curdle but that in three stooges story anyway this gentleman young man has t-mobile like many people because they they give you a good deal they give you a low price with unlimited you know texting and unlimited minutes and all this stuff but there's there's a catch to it once you get a smartphone well lo and behold with the t-mobile if you have internet access or let's say you have a smartphone upgraded every time you take a video with your phone you find it on your bill now I thought that was a normal function of the smartphone it should be I didn't know that was a a chargeable privilege I thought it was something inherently not normal to the phone like taking a photo but he don't get charged for that but what is this crap every time you take a little video it's on your bill every little friggin thing man it's like it's like it's like a hospital charging an insurance company one dollar per aspirin or one dollar or bank charging fees for this that you have a thing that's right every little thing they could charge for there was another analogy that was very similar to the to this and to the hospitals when it comes to me I'll mention it but there's there are similarities out there where they kind of like slither like a slippery eel and they they know how to play the system they have there are loopholes and there are ways they can you know they could receive their ill gotten gains and get away with it of course on the Republicans they can't so greedy bastards shame on you T-Mobile for doing that I don't have many chisels Hall of Shames but you know as once my co-host Dr. Bill starts doing the readings there may be others popping up now when William H. Moore the third our commercial voiceover specialist calls later on around 3 15 p.m. I want to go over this with him he interviewed another gentleman that came to us poor low income person that is collecting social services anyway this person recently had actually last week had his electricity shut off because social services Department of Social Services in Bergen County, New Jersey did not pay the bill he has some kind of a great arrangement where his utilities will be covered and he he filled out the proper forms his case worker said everything was fine well some incompetence some incompetent person or persons working for the state of New Jersey screwed up so his bill was shut off now what he found one week he had to take ice cold showers and he had no electricity no cable no nothing for one week they kept on telling him we'll get right back to you we'll get on it we'll solve it don't worry we'll get back to you anyway he sat for one week having nothing and he found out that public service the energy provider PSE and G of New Jersey was overbilling the state astronomically more than the consumption of electricity by this person who only lives in a studio garden apartment and there is no way that this man can possibly ring up an electric bill that high it's it's it's totally fraudulent so I have a feeling that PSE and G sees that the state is paying the bill and they must have attempted to rip off the state of New Jersey by jacking up this man's electric bill to high heavens so who didn't shut him down PSE and G shut it down because the bill wasn't paid but the bill because the social services yeah is suspicious of the height of the bill maybe that's why social services did not pay it because how could one man who is trying to live frugally in a garden in a in a studio apartment possibly can possibly have an electric bill above and beyond all of his neighbors in the same building at yeah could I know why ripping off government yes yeah that then you could have that yeah didn't people do it with the Medicare system ripple Medicaid Medicaid Medicare Medicaid Medicare was severely ripped off for a long time still is but they let it get away with it they let it continue that's right they let it continue that's right you can't cut those things you can't cut fraud and waste but you can cut social services right that's not a Republican's thing you know so shame on you chiseless Hall of shame PSE and G of New Jersey public service so is it gas and electric PS public service get electric and gas PSE and G of New Jersey you crooks but New Jersey's full of sleaze bags as far as I know they were there supposed to not cut you off especially if they're guilty of possible fraud you know especially with the non-payment of one bill yeah well anyway William sir William moral will elaborate on it later okay before we start the readings there was a very disturbing article that was given to me by a friend from from England who runs a publication dawn Lester I believe the country of Belgium is in the process right now of trying to pass a law that will never get ready you're not going to believe this that would allow the government of Belgium to euthanize children with autism and adults with Alzheimer's disease you believe this does it sound a little like Nazi Germany concentration camps I was looking at a video the other night there's a video on this well this video was not about that subject per se but it was mentioned in there that the elites would like to kill mm-hmm about 80% of us in America so so the calling of the herd is true that's correct that that lady that lady with the very short crew cut the doctor that's living in Central America in Costa Rica now that was on Jesse Ventura show she was right by the way the calling of the herd you just reminded about Jesse Jesse was on Gary now on Thursday I might go up to the archives to check it out not not to be a I now not PRN FN you got to go to WBA I got work yeah but yeah but yeah but the show excuse me the show that you hear on WBA I yes it's the same show that ends up in Gary knows progressive radio network archives if you can find it there then find it there I will also go to you stream to Gary knows you stream channel to see if it was video because the first time Jesse was on the phone so Gary usually on the video but Jesse's on the phone all right then then it's not important for me to see it the first time Jesse was on Gary knows show he was there in person and I think his book 60 60 things the government 63 yeah 63 things the government does not want you to know was just just had now the book is he's Hawkins is the the Democrypts and the real blood look on reblood lecans which nobody can say play play on words the Democrypts and the reblood lecans making reference to the fact that no more gangs in government at the two-party system is that corrupt they're two gangs and two gangs fight each other I mean it's accurate but it's hard for people to pronounce the two words but anyway some gentlemen I was interviewing some gentlemen and this has to do with online dating of course American men should beware of getting involved with women from other countries because a lot of them are using the American men just to get a permanent residency visa green card so you be aware of that and there are there are very good actresses out there and actors because men do it to women too but there's another little scam a little trick that the girls play today you know it's funny you know when the women's liberation movement was starting and we used to watch like all the family and you know in the 70s and civil rights women's live limit they used to mention a term called double standard back then now double standards are supposed to work both ways not just you know double standard works one way works one way but if you want to be good for the goose ain't good for you right like if you want if a woman wants total equality equal pay for equal job total equality across the board you can't say to the man what you're the man you're supposed to do this that the other thing you're supposed to pick me up you're supposed to pay for everything you're supposed to post a post what is this supposed to they want to make the same amount of money as a man which is fair but when it comes to interpersonal relationships when it comes to social life dating they want the man to be superior to them and do everything and pay for everything and not be equal that's a double standard I'm sure many intelligent feminists would reverse double standard would agree reverse double standard like reverse racism which exists now and there's plenty of proof of it now an intelligent feminist would hear this and would have to agree based on facts based on logic logic now the thing that the men were complaining about is that many females have become what is affectionately known as and I'm being sarcastic restaurant whores which is a woman who takes an interest in a man and instead of meeting at a casual place like a Starbucks for for a coffee or a cappuccino or a cup of tea a pastry perhaps they right away they want dinner they forget to have dinner and this is a person who is not your girlfriend she's not your main squeeze she's not your your fiance she's not your wife you're just meeting her and instead of meeting at a very casual surroundings which is the way it should be and you know if you can you go Dutch because you know you're not a couple right away they want dinner they have dinner they might conveniently order drinks which are expensive today and guess what then all of a sudden the girl starts blowing off the guy and or she doesn't return his phone calls his voicemails and then I assume she's going on to the next victim to get more free dinners and more free drinks and he she does the same thing to him and it goes on and on and on that's the newest dating scam the restaurant whore but it's not that new because I've seen it done years ago I've seen it done I mean but it's more popular now but isn't it funny how people a certain a certain specific group would complain and cry about the other the other opposite group you know playing the the victim sitting on the pity pod playing the victim but they don't they don't look at what they do they want their cake and eat it through I guess right they don't look at they don't look at what they do okay it's like anybody who's throwing stones in a glass house now they want their cake and eat it and my theory is they want their cake and eat it because they want you to pay for it they want you to pay for it because they know that men have a stronger libido than women and more testosterone and men will kiss ass and chase a woman that's hot-looking like his life dependent on it and they know they can wrap that guy they can wrap those men right around their little finger if they're hot-looking and that's how they get away with it the man's libido is much stronger than a woman's except when a woman becomes middle-aged and she becomes the hot to truck person in the relationship oh man I just forgot now I'm sorry no no it has nothing to do with what you're saying but can you dig that brother Dolores the other day told me what M.I.L.F. means which I've been fighting with for a long no find out the definition old and all the chick who's single and not out in the prowl right no it means something to the effect that hooker is that like a mother's mother's something that you'd like to fuck you like to fuck fuck say you're allowed to say fuck mothers but what the eye I forget but they have to be mothers yes mothers or I forgot what the I hope the mothers can get a babysitter mother's the mother's something you'd like to fuck what the eye means I'm it's out of my head so so it is it men they call them milfs or do the milfs call themselves I know all this stuff is men stuff come on milfs cougars men make all these desegregation you know a horny older women that are on the prowl hot to trot men men come up with all the shit look right ever since this inception what's the matter what they no matter what they try to say you got these women who want to produce their own porn and stuff and they they say they make it for them it's equal and they make it for women and stuff like that it's bullshit roll them and action porn from its inception has always been for the man for the man you might be right about that it is correct but now women or the women of shit about the women of porn do it you feel they do it strictly for the mula for the money the mula or they really into it well somebody immature ones like a young ones a nymph a nymphomaniac no they have nothing to do with say they get into it because they don't know any better I mean they're they're young dumb and full of comp there you go in fact that's the name of the video that's the name of the video series they're trying to young dylan the elitists are trying to sabotage my my levity bells over here where to fall right there oh anything is possible on progressive discussions oh man my poor uh oh no it's so no I could fix it but damn when we say something funny I ring the levity bells shit well one didn't like to be wrong I guess not I'll put it here I'll tend to that later anyway uh young dumb and full of comp and then you know I'm still wrestling with the eye oh in milf yeah what's that anonymous yeah why don't you help me here um mothers you know what it has to do with I just know that like the fuck is the hell and well because they're they're libido supposedly increases when a woman gets into a woman is
