Good morning everyone So such asked me to come and talk about the first a thousand users I get to really interesting important journey for any startup and hopefully what I speak through today will help you get from Not sucking to from sucking to not sucking as fast as possible with as few mistakes as possible I'm going to talk about acquiring users as in consumers and also around Acquiring SMEs or enterprise businesses as well So hopefully relevant for whatever kind of startup you're running So I like to think of this kind of stage Clickers not working guys. Sorry. I like to think of this kind of part of the story as the maze So how'd you get out of the maze? How'd you get your first a thousand people and lots of startups never make it? they literally won't find a way out of it and That's that's a kind of challenge and I got this. Sorry guys. I've got this kind of dystopian Picture of a maze kind of squig games s because it's really brutal. It's really hard. It can be very demoralizing And you don't quite know where you're going. You'll make some wrong turns. You have to go back But that's all part of the journey and all part of the fun So a little bit about car wow just to set some context So car wow is a marketplace for helping consumers buy cars and sell their current cars So what happens is a consumer goes on they want to research what color looking to buy they use us They then build their car receive offers and ultimately we connect them with a dealer and they buy it And then we help them sell their current car in a similar way So I started this company 12 years ago. So straight after after university I did finance at uni and then I did an internship at a fund management company And it put me off that world of finance for life Those two months were the best two months my life because it meant I didn't spend the next 10 years in finance And I the advice I always got was set up something in an area that you enjoy and I've always loved cars And I've always found that lots of people come to me and say This is a massive financial decision What should I buy and that's our vision as a company to help consumers work out the best choice for them when it comes to a car So to give you an idea of scale So this year alone will have sold over four billion pounds worth of cars That's across the UK Germany and Spain where we operate. I got about 350 employees now And we also run a kind of side part of the business. We run a huge amount of content So we have the world's largest car channel on YouTube So we get about 60 million views a month an average six and a half million Subscribers and lots people know car. Well because of the YouTube stuff So it's kind of weird side business of it, but really really good marketing channel for us And as the host said we've got we'd be very very lucky to have Europe's best investors behind us So we've got Excel, Balderson, Vitruvian and Daimler Mercedes-Benz But this has taken us many many many many years to get here and winding back to think through the kind of very early days What I kind of call the hustle because this is the bit where it's potentially just you on your own as a sole founder or you and a Couple of co-founders or maybe early employees and it's really really really brutal again It can feel very demoralizing if you're not getting the traction But that's all part of the journey That's all part of what you have to go through so don't get too demoralized by it and you got a work hard on it I think don't go in with unrealist unrealistic expectations. There's very very very very few overnight successes They just don't really exist people underestimate just how long this stuff takes So I looked up in the database how long it took car. Well, so it took us just under 250 days To get our first a thousand users so a user for us. That's not people spying a car So there's a hell of a longer to get a thousand sales That's just people giving us an email address so they can configure a car and get offers So that's a long long long long time Lots of sleepless nights during those 250 days thinking what are we doing here? But so just to give you an idea and then we launched in Germany Five years ago now so by then we had the technology we had quite a lot of funding had lots of people Still took us nearly a hundred days to get those first a thousand users and what we did in the UK We couldn't just copy and paste we had to do things differently. So again, just set expectations that this is not going to happen very very very very fast and Then we got a little bit quicker in Spain, but still this is this is substantial amount of time So I think because it takes a time so much time You got to find a way to survive that you may have raised some money you may have not raised some money We hadn't raised money at this point So my co-founder David He had to do three months with car well three months contracting as an engineer. That was the only way he could survive We couldn't pay a salary. We had no money in the business. I had to do quite a lot of kind of side consulting I had to rent out my spare room on Airbnb So I'd be running the business then changing bedsheets that every morning to get new guests in and that was the only way We could survive we couldn't raise money at the time and so we had to find kind of side hustles just to keep going and Again, you just got to find a way to make sure you've got enough Incomes somehow personally as well to survive those kind of first maybe year or so. I think when it comes to listening to your Customers again be their consumers or businesses. You got to listen and build a lot of empathy with them But you're gonna listen but not too closely So if I'd have listened to everything that everyone told us as a consumer or as a potential customer We wouldn't have been here. We had car manufacturers saying we're never gonna let you do this We had car dealers saying we're never gonna pay for this and there and they ultimately they were wrong They pay for it now. They let us do various things So you can't listen too closely and the same when it comes to VCs or angel investors There'll be some people who give you some advice and they may be wrong You just got to ignore it But you got to build that empathy with the consumer try and understand what they want what you can offer Because it's gonna change your proposition a lot So keep you here to the ground, but don't take everything too seriously I think as the host said Paul Graham said do things that don't scale and this is critical You've got to keep it manual I've invested in quite a lot of angel investments and I and they talked to me about the scaling their invoice process Although getting ready for scale and it's just a waste of time. Just keep things incredibly manual because it'll evolve It'll change So when we first when we first started We had to do we tried to get car dealers to a load of work We tried them to manually put together offers to send to customers and they got bored after sending about 10 So we had to do it for them. We had to do it for them with literally a calculator So we had to every morning we get out our calculators work out office for dealers and send it on their behalf Now the customer the consumer they thought it was all automated They thought it was all super smooth in reality. It wasn't it was me with a calculator doing it for them And the same with when it came to invoicing Same when it came to sending out contracts anything like that We didn't bother automating it whatsoever and I'm very very glad we didn't because had we have done it It would have been it would have been wrong anyway because everything was evolving everything was changing so quickly So don't be afraid load of hard work a load of hustle and keep it very very very manual I think a very very critical point is try and work out how to explain yourself So the words you use to explain what you do as a business to customers to VCs You've got to keep testing this because there's a lot of ways to explain what you do They can be tiny little changes little tiny words that make a massive difference So we spent a huge amount of time a be testing this So using things like visual website optimizer to test using Facebook ads Google ads Just all the time tweaking and serious serious serious uplifting conversion right here And some words just really hit home some just didn't and when we took it into Germany we thought We'll just explain ourselves to customers like this And in reality in Germany we explain ourselves in a very different way to a german consumer than we do to a british one And that's fine We've got to keep testing it to see what works and you'll get very significant uplifts and conversion rates if you keep testing it Very very very critical You've also got to be very surgically focused Don't be crap at a lot of things be great at one thing So when we first raised investment, we only sold volts wagons So you could call on our website and buy a volts wagon and know of the car brand So we did this because we thought we're going to get great at helping anyone who wants to buy a volts wagon We're going to work very closely with volts wagon and their dealers and become really really good for them So forget about everything else and we raised money just by doing that one brand Because then we got confidence in ourselves that look if you're going to use this to buy volts wagon It's probably going to work for any other car if you're going to as a dealer pay for it It's probably going to work for any other car dealer as well So just do one thing And again, it's a lot of early stage companies. They try and do everything As an example, I invested in a great little startup called lick They do home decor And they do lots of stuff now loads of different types of paints loads of wallpapers blinds about to do curtains But what they started with is just a few paint colors in one type of paint They got really really good at that ready to shitload of money and then they could expand out But don't try and do everything because it you just won't be that good at it You won't be that relevant to that consumer that that supplier And vcs get that if you're good at one thing within a market that it'll probably extrapolate So just do one thing really really really well to start with I would fully recommend charging from day one. So don't give away what you're doing for free Particularly to SMEs or enterprises. This is a few reasons one is purely psychological If you're paying for something you value it more So if you've got if you've got a business using your your products your service if they're paying for it They're just going to value it a lot more. I'm going to take it more seriously The other thing is obviously you want to bring in some form of revenue to help the business grow And then thirdly you want to prove assuming you're going to go and raise money You want to prove to investors that people are willing to pay Investors aren't going to be particularly impressed if you've just got a load of people that you're just giving it away to for free Now, obviously that's a little bit different on the consumer side Or taking a freemium model, but do try and get particularly Businesses paying for your service. It'll really really really help you out And then also when it comes to selling to businesses Go very very junior. So go to the person who you're really going to help So we made some mistakes in the early days. We went to some big card dealer group We spoke to the CEOs They got quite excited But we were tiny so them for them selling one or two cars couldn't care less. They don't care However, you go to an individual sales person who has a target of only say two car sales a week If you help them with one you've done 50 of their job for that week So they really really care about it. They love it. They get really really engaged So don't go super senior. You won't be relevant. You may get a meeting But you're not going to impress them because you're just not going to have that volume So go really junior find the pain problem that you're solving for that almost individual or little team And get them using it. They'll get engaged. They'll be able to then get budget for it They'll be able to then sell it to their colleagues Or get it within their their financial planning. So don't go to the CEO As tempting as it may be go very very very junior And then when it comes to fundraising so you go to your stereotypical Vest wearing VC. What are they going to say? What are they going to think? I think getting to that a thousand users is a kind of key point They're going to want to see you do this quickly They're going to want to see you evolve as well So don't worry if you spoke to them at one point and then you change what you're doing. That's fine They'll like they'll understand that and they'll be impressed. They want you to be agile I want you to be nimble and they want to see you hustle and make it happen very very quickly And mark sester when it comes to uh raising money has that great quote of vcs invest in lines Not dots So what that means is the first time you meet a VC or an angel investor you're a dot you're a single data point So that you come along they may be impressed and they think okay. Yeah interesting The next time you meet or the next time you send an update you're another dot and hopefully you're drawing a You're on an upward trajectory. So they see that line growing the third time Hopefully the line of the kind of velocity you're going at is increasing all the time So make sure you keep in touch with vcs So when we we got our first I think seed round or series a from bolderton We met them two years before they invested in us. They gave us some really good advice We followed up a year later with a meeting. They said brilliant nice progress still too early So only after two years did they invest so we'd become a bit of a line for them And I see it now with angel investments The best CEOs are sending updates to potential investors every three months every six months They're sending a few bullet points a little deck some of the sending video updates And it's a really really good way to build that relationship Even now when we're raising fundraising most the the vcs or PE firms that we're talking with I've known them for already for two years. So I've kept to make kept the dialogue We're too early for some of them now But hopefully in two years we're raising that we're in that sweet spot So do keep in touch with investors Don't get dissuaded if they say no because that's their job You just got to keep going back to them and keep engaging with them so that they build that line for you Embrace the challenge. It's going to be hard work. There's going to be highs. There's going to be lows But this is a key kind of critical journey You won't you won't end up exactly where you thought you'll deviate your propositional change your pricing will change What you think you are will change your vision may even change and that's all absolutely fine That is all part of part of this journey Make sure you celebrate the wins as well. So this is was this was my co-founder alex now wife Co-founder david now cto. This is when we sold our first car So we had that bottle of champagne in the fridge for a very very very long time We're waiting to sell our first car. We had it in the fridge waiting And I think it was a monday morning or something when we finally sold it cracked it open and celebrated So celebrate your first user your tenth user your hundredth user your thousandth user and keep celebrating because startups are hard And you've got to celebrate the wins. It's never it doesn't actually get easier So just keep make sure you celebrate have fun and smile Because in reality this is just the beginning so getting those first a thousand users Again, then you've got to get ten thousand then you got a hundred thousand you've got to keep scaling But this is just the beginning. It's a really enjoyable part of the the startup journey It's where it feels most real and you're most evolving and it's the fastest change So you should enjoy it Smile don't get demoralized. You'll make it through and I hope that was useful. Thank you very much


Hey guys, Drew with GeoArm here to talk to you about the Alula BAT Connect and its connection to the GE Interlogix Concord 4 panel. The first thing I want to illustrate here is the box itself. This is what it comes in, the packaging. You're going to need to mark down the MAC and the MAC-CRC number, which is located on this white sticker in the top right-hand corner of this box, so make sure you document that. We're going to need it to get it activated for you. Alright, the second thing I'm going to note here is the actual manual itself. This is the guide, it'll show you how to get it mounted, it'll show you how to get it wired in, it'll cover everything basically that I'm going over here, and it'll also show you how to get connected to the Wi-Fi, etc. So what we're going to be using here to get the Concord connected to the Alula communicator is just the generic alarm panel wiring. So it's going to be four wires going between the Alula device itself and the Concord 4 panel. So I'm going to go ahead and place this on the side here. You guys can see the wiring that's being done. This is the Alula communicator itself, I've already pre-wired this by the way, this does not come with this wire. You're going to need to get some wire between 18 and 22 gauge to conduct your wire for this connection. This communicator is super easy to open, it's got this nice little ridge plastic clip on the side that you just press down, and then you just open the top from the bottom like that, straight like a door there. So very easy to get open, and as you can see once again I've already made my connections inside of the communicator itself. So we have two on this side for communications, and then we have these two which are going to be used for power. So we'll go ahead and get the power side wired in first. So I've wired the black wire into GND power, so you'll see that labeled GND power, and then I took the red wire and I went into 12V power. So we're going to take those two wires that we're working with for power.  Do not try to get this wired in with the panel powered on, it could fry the panel.  So just be careful, make sure it's powered down, backup battery, and power supply. So we're going to make our connections now. The black wire is our ground wire, so that is going to be running to terminal number three, which will probably have a bunch of other black wires in it. Maybe not, but probably because other things use this ground terminal as well. So if there are other wires, just put this in there along with it. The red wire is going to go into terminal number four, that's going to be for our positive power. Like I said, there probably will be other wires in this terminal. If there are, just put this down in there with it and get it tightened. So our power has now been connected to terminals three and four. So we have ground at three and positive power at terminal four here at the panel. As you see, our power is connected. So now that we have the power connections made, we're going to need to make the communications connections. So I've also used just a red and black wire for my communications as well. Like I said, you can use any strip between 18 and 22, as well as a little phone cable or speaker cable, that'll work as well. So I'm going to be taking the red wire here, and this is what is called the ring, and that is going to be going to terminal number 28, going to get that tightened down. And then the black wire here has been run back to the Alula communicator's tip. So we're going to take the black wire from tip to terminal number 25 on the Concord panel, and we'll get that tightened in place. So once again, tip from the Alula device goes to terminal 25 on the Concord panel, and ring from the Alula device goes to terminal 28 on the Concord panel. Now if terminals 25, 26, 27, and 28 on the Concord already have wires in there, take them out of there because nothing needs to be in these four slots as this is where the communications occur. So this needs to be the only device that's in there. Once you have these connections made, you are ready to go and you can give us a call to get this thing monitored.

Good afternoon everyone, my name is Keith McClellan, I'm the Director of Partner Solutions Engineering at Cockroach Labs. Clearly, I am not an AV specialist. I will be talking today a little bit about Cockroach DB and a little bit more about Cockroach DB on OpenShift. And I apologize if I'm completely thrown off by the technical difficulties. So, if I am terrible, it is all my fault and if I'm brilliant, I'm sure it is all to Mr. Waite's credit. What is Cockroach DB? Cockroach DB is a distributed SQL database. We bring together the best of the relational RDBMS world and the best of the SQL world in a database that allows you to run system of record workloads in a Kubernetes-native environment. That means a whole lot of things to a lot of people and I'd be happy to talk to all of you about that in more depth another time. But to start, we're a database that is architected to scale out rather than scale up. That means when you need more capacity, you add more nodes to your cluster. This is not too dissimilar to Kubernetes, which is so it's not probably too surprising to folks in this room that we run well in OpenShift because of that. And what we've done is we've presented a familiar SQL interface based on the Postgres wire protocol so your applications can connect to Cockroach DB just like they can connect to any Postgres database. Because we can scale our database by adding more nodes, whenever there is a capacity challenge in a database, whether you need to store more data or you need more transactions per second or you need to be able to host more users, you solve that problem rather than by buying larger and more expensive servers by just adding a few more instances of Cockroach DB to your environment. Because of the way we scale out, we're inherently distributed and that means that we can distribute across not only multiple nodes but multiple sites as well. And in OpenShift in Kubernetes land, that means we can distribute across multiple Kubernetes clusters, multiple OpenShift clusters and provision a single logical database to solve all of your computing challenges. Because of that, we're also inherently multi-cloud, which means you can have an OpenShift cluster running in AWS, you can have an OpenShift cluster running in GCP, you can have an OpenShift cluster running in Azure and have that be one database. Not three databases that you have to maintain and keep in sync, but one single database that all of your applications and users can interact with. So not only can we survive, say, a node failure or a Kubernetes cluster, an OpenShift cluster failure, we can survive the failure of an entire cloud provider if that were to become a problem for anybody. And we do that while guaranteeing no data loss and no disruption to your applications. So how do we do this? Not only do we present a database and not only did we build it from the ground up to work with Kubernetes, but we do that by providing an OpenShift certified Kubernetes operator for CockroachDB that gives you kind of our world-class, the information from our SREs and a world-class operator that will allow you to provision and manage your CockrochDB environment in OpenShift without requiring dedicated staff. Because of all of that stuff that we just talked about, running CockroachDB on OpenShift is a extremely easy experience, much easier than getting these slides up here today. So thank you all so much for your time. If you are interested in learning more, we do have a university where you can go and take some online classes and learn a little bit more about CockroachDB. And then you guys are going to be on the showroom floor. And we are going to be on the showroom floor. I will personally be on the showroom floor for the next three days. So please come and visit with me and we'd be happy to tell you more about the database and maybe even show it off a little bit. Are you guys donating $3 to some causal labor?  So thank you for that as well, Mr. Wake. Thank you.


Hi, my name is Andrew Varga and I'm with Razorback Off-Road and today we're going to be demonstrating how to install a rear window onto a 2020 Can-Am Maverick Trail. That's the machine we'll be demonstrating it on. So when you receive your product from Razorback Off-Road, we'll include two mounting brackets for the inside and we'll include all the mounting hardware and the main rear window panel. I'll go into some of the tools that will be required. You're gonna need assortment of sockets. So you'll need a 15 millimeter, you'll need a 13 millimeter, a half inch, a seven sixteenths, and a 10 millimeter socket. And you'll need two box wrenches. You'll need a 15 millimeter and a half inch box box wrench, and I'll kind of demonstrate that. You'll need a ratchet and a flathead screwdriver. So I'll get into the first part of the install, which will be we'll need to take off the two side panels of the machine so you can have access to the bolts that are going to be on these down bars right here. So we got to get to these bolts down here in order to remove these bars. So that'll be the first part. So to start that I'll grab the flathead screwdriver, and you'll see why here in a sec. So what you're gonna start with is this lower panel right here as these two locking screws that you'll just loosen and this panel comes off just like that. Put that off to the side. It has this this panel lock. It's this little plastic piece and you're going to use a flathead screwdriver and you're just going to gently pry on it until it'll unlock itself and then the rest of it pulls right out just like that. And save this and we'll put this off to the side. Okay and the rest of this panel has locks on it and you'll just gently lift it up and it pops right off just like that. Okay so now we'll move to the other side and do the same thing. So on the driver's side you're going to just take this panel it doesn't need any tools and you're going to start on one end and just gently lift towards the other end and this panel will pop right off just like that and then go ahead and set this to the side. Okay I'm going to grab the 13 millimeter socket. Go ahead and take this bottom bolt out. So when while you're removing this bottom bolt I just want to mention that you don't need to worry about your roll cage springing. This down tube is more for aesthetics it's actually slotted down here at the bottom so you don't need to worry about springing back or anything. So once you remove this you're going to do the same thing to the other side. So now we'll remove this bottom bolt here. Okay once you have that removed we're going to next move to the upper bolt right here and I'll go grab the tools needed for that. I'm going to grab the 15 millimeter socket so you're going to remove the upper one here. All right so once you have that loose you'll just pull this bolt out and you'll slide this drop tube off to the side and remove it just like that. So once you're done with that on this side you're going to do the same exact thing to the other side. So you're just going to set your tools off to the side. You're going to grab two of the larger bolts here and you're going to grab the window panel and you're going to go ahead and install it. So you're going to slide it in here okay and you're going to take one of your bolts and slide it right in there just to kind of hold it in place. I'm going to do the same thing to the other side.  So you're going to install the lock nut onto the bolt. So before you go and tighten these upper bolts I just want you to make sure that you push down and make sure that this rear window panel is sealed up against the body because this can potentially slide up a little bit. So just make sure that this is down and sealing right along the body here. So once you have that tightened you're going to go ahead and move to the other side and do the same thing. So now we're going to install the next part. So you're going to grab one of these brackets. You can grab two of these carriage bolts and two of the lock nuts. Okay and you're going to go ahead and install it. Okay so you're going to take one of these carriage bolts and as you can see on the side of this panel we have these squares here and you're going to match that square right here and you're going to install the holes that are farther apart onto that bolt right there. Okay and this gets two of them so you're going to do the top then you're going to do the bottom and you don't want to tighten this just yet not all the way. Okay and you'll see why here in a second and you're going to do the same thing to the other side. Okay and then you get there's two more bolts left and you're going to grab those and those are going to be installed right here on the inside of this welded on bracket right here on the machine. So I'll go ahead and do that. So you're going to grab the 10 millimeter socket okay and you're going to grab these remaining bolts right here and go install the bracket. So you're going to take this this bolt right here. This is a metric bolt okay everything else we've installed before are standard this is the only metric bolt that we include on the kit and this is the one that's going to be installed on the machine because this is a metric piece. So you're going to install it and there's a hole there's only one hole and it's located on the bottom and you're going to go ahead and tighten that or install that. So before you tighten this bracket all the way you'll notice that these brackets have slots in them and what that's for is for the adjustment so that you match the contour of this machine and then our rear window. So you'll kind of place that as best as you can to where it'll match the inside of this contour here and then at that point then at that point once you have that aligned that's when you're going to go ahead and tighten this down okay and then you're going to do the same thing to the other side and you want to do this before you tighten up these back bolts and I'll explain that in a sec. So you'll notice that on our bracket we have two slots on there and on the passenger side the hole is actually located on the top so these parts are universal it doesn't matter which side you install them on you just make sure that you find that that hole and install it in the right slot. Alright so once you're done tightening both of these bolts now you're going to go back and get the tools that are necessary to tighten the rest of these hardware. So the final socket that you'll need will be the seven sixteenths and that's what you're going to use to tighten the rest of the bolts. So when you're tightening the last four of these lock nuts just make sure that you use your thumb on the head of this bolt here to keep it flush against the back panel and also to keep it in that square slot and you're going to tighten these bolts but make sure you don't tighten them all the way just yet and I'll explain that in a minute.  So once you're done with that you're going to do the same exact thing to the other side. So once you're done installing all of your hardware just go through one more time and make sure all the bolts are snug and secure and now we're going to reverse the process and we're going to install the drop tubes back on the machine and the panels. So I'll go ahead and do that. So now you're going to take your drop tube and reinstall it, insert it, use the existing hardware and I would just leave this upper bolt loose for now it'll just make it a lot easier to align the bottom bolt here. So just leave this loose leave it like that and do the same thing to the other side. So now take the rest of the hardware and so now you're going to just take this, insert it in there like that okay you're going to do the same thing to the other side. So you're going to grab your 15 millimeter socket and box wrench as before and tighten down both of the upper bolts. So now the final bolt will be using the 13 millimeter socket and you'll go ahead and tighten that okay now do the same thing to the other side.  So there you have it that completes the installation of the rear window for the 2020 Can-Am Maverick Trail. I wanted to mention a couple of things this rear window will fit with the stock Can-Am roof so we designed this to where this lip will come underneath this top bar and the stock roof will fit right over the top of it and it uses the existing same exact holes that the that the roof uses so you shouldn't have any problems installing this window with the stock Can-Am roof. So if you have any concerns about machine fitment and if it will fit your machine please visit our website at razorbackoffroad.com we have a very nice detailed machine fitment list on our website and you can see if your machine is compatible with our rear window. If you haven't yet please like and subscribe to our YouTube channel and other than that we'll see you out on the trail.


Welcome back to the channel, today I want to talk about how to definitively farm legendary loot off of elites and guarantee you that elites are there and you don't just have to randomly bump into them or find them during a random quest. There is an easier way to do this and you need a mission mod. So hit that like button on this video if it helps, subscribe if you're new around here and leave me a comment telling me what you're loving about this game so far, what's your favourite thing about the game. So this mission mod I built in my apartment and you can do this too and there will be missions that are updated here regularly. You want to look for any mission that is kill the something, now this can either lead you to an elite who is just out in the open world who you can save before killing him and then keep reloading it until you get the thing that you want or it will lead you to a place where you can actually create an instance by going through a door which is way more beneficial and we'll talk about that if I can get one to spawn. This however isn't the only mission board in the world, there are mission boards in pretty much every main city, Akila city, Neon, you just have to go and find them, they're usually in the bars or like the very first kind of like building you come up towards, it's usually there in there and there's also faction boards and faction boards once you're in with a faction will give you similar types of things too. So for the mission board you need to go to your spaceport in New Atlantis, run all the way up here and we're going to go over to this bar in the corner, this is where the New Atlantis mission board is and we'll see what they have to offer and then I'll show you a few of the other cities as well, there are also some unlike the UC Vanguard ship and loads of different places like the Crimson Fleet ships as well, I've already done all these so I don't have any, I don't even know when they actually come back, I don't know if you have to complete a certain amount and then they come back but I did recently pick up some of these, I might even still need to do them honestly, let's look at the other cities. In Neon there is actually two sets of mission boards, I don't know whether they have the same missions or not, I've never checked both of them at the same time, but the first one is in the Hotel Lobby here, you just turn left and we have one here, let's see if they've got anything nice for me, no because I've already completed all those as well and then we go down to the, what's it called now, the Astral Lounge, that's what it is, I was drawing a blank then and as soon as you go into the room that you're going to go through they're going to be right there on your right as you're running through, pretty simple and that one also has none for me so they might be the same as the ones that are down below as well, let's move on and if you didn't know Neon is located from the Alpha Centauri down here to the right, the Voli system and then we're going to go to the Aquila City one which is up in Cheyenne up here or Cheyenne, I don't know how to pronounce it, this is where you'll find Aquila City's mission board. So for Aquila City you need to just right into the itching post and you will find them just here on the side, pretty sure I've picked up all these ones as well and I'm fairly certain that once you complete a mission another one comes back onto the mission board so once I go and do this kill mission that I just picked up in New Atlantis another mission will appear on that mission board. So I am finally here at the kill mission, I do want to say I am currently aligned with the Crimson Fleet and if I kill any of these people I'll get a massive massive bounty which I don't want to do but I am still going to show you how you do this so when you get a kill mission that's an instanced mission before you enter the door which always has this kind of symbol on it that creates an instance you want to change your difficulty to very hard. Now what this does is is everything that drops within this instanced room will be at a higher tier level because you've entered it on very hard so as we go through now it will create all the loot and all the people and everything and it will be a higher tier in terms of rewards then you just need to go into your settings and change it back down to whatever you want including very easy so you can run through kill everything pick up all the loot and all of that stuff because the loot is still the higher tiered loot but with less danger now so for me I just need to find the guy and kill him and find the chests that are here and see what actually is available now for some reason he's just chilling in his vents I don't know why he is but I think I can maybe pick pocket him I can now I don't know what's gonna happen here but we're gonna kill him anyway we're gonna find out what's happening you can also save it before him and do this over and over again but I just usually just don't bother with that I'm hoping see I've got a bit of a bounty now and he drops a blue unfortunately so I would now reload my game come back in and do this again and check all the chests and everything around but they're all gonna be after me now so I'm just gonna reload the game all right let's try and get him again and see what happens we're gonna use my sniper this time actually we're just gonna pop the head like how oh my god how strong you are you're a monster you're a beast oh wait did they not get a load this time oh they didn't get alerted that's good to know strange I've never seen that before but we do have a legendary bounty hunter spacesuit ready to go but I'm gonna go back and try it again so this was a weapon I just got as well from from killing the person you know not bad at all and some reason I've been having more success with not getting the bounty by sniping it's almost like my ears ringing and then there's another one where it says I'm blind so it's like if they can't see or hear you less likely to get the bounties it's strange see now just don't get the bounty but no legendary yet I swear to you I think I found the one kill mission that the NPC doesn't have a legendary like the only one in the entire game do I get a bounty I do not for some reason when I use a sniper I'm less likely to get the bounty god damn it yay finally and I didn't get the bounty what a great set of events just happened so you can see that I got the titanium calibrated Bridger a legendary heavy shotgun with instigating deals double damage to targets with full health staggering small chance to stagger enemies and titanium build premium build materials make this weapon light as a feather so the mass is way down this is a near perfect role in my opinion so I'm gonna take that I'm gonna save my game and then we're gonna go kill some people and show it off right let's try out this weapon then to see what happens they haven't got health bars though wow come here mr. level 16 oh dear god what in the absolute hell is this weapon and why is it so good quick give me some people to kill oh my days it's gone is unbelievable oh my god I missed it's basically a grenade launcher this is the best gun in the game this is the best gun in the game and that's about it I just wanted to show you the farming methods that we all know and love already but a guaranteed way to get an elite and that's to go to the bounty boards and pick up the kill missions and then you would guarantee to get a boss if you don't get an instanced room like I have and the boss is just out in the open you can still save before the boss and kill him over and over again you just won't have it at that higher tier on the very hard difficulty still worth grinding still worth farming and chests and also are the same thing once you enter an instance all the chests may have some very cool stuff too so make sure you check in them out and that's about it I hope it helps you to like button subscribe all that fun stuff thank you for watching I've been easy now you guys have been awesome


Welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I wanted to review prop trading accounts because I've gotten this question a lot recently and I wanted to talk to people about the exact definition of what a proprietary day trading account is. Many people weren't aware this even existed. So if you'd like more information you can email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com. You can call me at 929-3200 Gap. Follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. If you want to learn how to train either part-time for part-time income or to do this for your full-time job you can learn. And I can teach you how in my Golden Gap course. It's a two-day class where you would learn my entire system how to take the entries and then if you wanted to after the course you could sign up for the live trading room. Everyone in the live trading room is a student. You must be a student of the class in order to trade and join the room. I think it's very important for people to know what to do and talking about prop accounts. You really have to know what you're doing in any type of trading account but particularly with a prop account. So what is proprietary trading? It's also called prop trading. It occurs when a trader trades stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities or derivatives or other financial instruments with the firm's own money. This could be any firm. Okay so I'm not a prop firm but there's a lot of out there that you could go to. So you do it and you make a profit and that prop firm gives you leverage and many of the prop firms give anywhere from 10 to 1 leverage or even sometimes up to 20 to 1 leverage. So it's different for every firm. You have to talk to the specific firm. So the difference is with this you don't have to put up the 25,000 requirement that's typical of an active day trading account at a retail brokerage account. So there's different types of ways and means for people to trade who do not have 25,000 and if you've never heard of proprietary trading this is definitely something for you to look into. There are a lot of prices out there where you can open up accounts like this. So you do not need the cash equivalent of a stock price to buy or short any stock to day trade. I think that's important. It's something that I really want to talk about more when I was talking about the Golden Gap and AMAT which was recently a really nice play that you could have taken substantial size in because the stock was only initially 30 cents. Strike price was around 35 and change. In that example you could have taken obviously a good size even position if you had a prop account versus even a retail account depending on your balance and because something like that when you have a small stock you can take a lot of size even with a decent not that much risk okay. So 30 cent stock would be 300 bucks risk with a thousand shares but you have to have the ability to be able to take a position of a thousand shares which would be I'm just going to use 36 bucks even though again that's not the exact price of the entry but you would have needed 36,000 in margin. So the reason that I really want to review this is because you don't need 36,000 dollars in cash to take a thousand shares is something like AMAT. So every day trader actively trades with something called margin. So whether you have a retail account or prop account you're still trading with margin if you're an active day trader and that's just what makes sense because some of these trades are like two minute trades it just wouldn't even make sense to do a cash position. So you do not need the cash equivalent of a stock price to buy or short any stock to day trade. Day trading is you get in you get out you're in you're out you're in you're out in several minutes or several hours but you're in between nine thirty you're out before four. So day trading is you get in and out and most traders use something called margin as I said you receive margin from the broker the amount of margin varies from broker to broker again check with your broker. However you can use my system the Golden Gap per system to trade with a small account beginner or a large account advanced. The only difference is the size of the positions you would take based on the size of your margin. If you do not know what a proprietary day trading account is see the definition I just went over it or ask me for more information but this is definitely something that's available to people if they weren't aware of it that's one of the reasons why there's so many active traders out there ever since the proper account started I don't know how many years ago a long time now there's been more and more people more liquidity in the market. So literally anyone and even as twenty five hundred dollars to start a day trading prop account has the ability to trade my system after they learn my method in the Golden Gap course and again your risk how much you risk per trade has to do with the size of your account. So in 2019 I want to stress this it's going to be extremely important to know what to do when you're trading and to have proper education before you place a trade in the market because the market is going to be extremely volatile in 2019. I called it I said it I'm telling you this year 2018 is going to look like nothing with the volatility compared to 2019 so be prepared and what does that mean you prepare yourself ahead of time for trading by giving education what does that mean it means if you've been trading or you are trading now if you don't have the right education the right system to trade you're going to lose money and if you've been losing you're going to lose more and if you're making money you still might lose in 2019 if you don't have proper education and a system that works in any market conditions okay so my Golden Gap system is not dependent on the market rallying or falling I'm looking for specific stock picks every day that are gapping and every single day I'm looking at a different ticker ticker symbol and every single day I'm reading a different gap so when you look at the money that you have you have to look at the value of the education you're going to receive from me versus just losing money taking trades in the market a lot of people have money and they open up accounts and they trade they don't know what they're doing and they don't have the right education and maybe maybe people have taken educational courses in the past and not learn how to trade or make money but that's all fine and good that's life stuff like that happens not every place out there will teach you the right things to do it's not that easy it took me three years to figure out my system so again I've been doing this now for ten years which is a very long time but initially initially was three years to figure everything out and that is quite quite a long time so you were gonna lose money in the market if you don't have a good system and even if you're making money this year trust me next year is going to be extremely volatile and it's going to be one of those things where I think the fast moves are going to be the best moves and sometimes the biggest moves and you have to be able to capture those moves I hope that that makes sense anyways my system I look at the golden gap checklist you'll learn this in the class it's the 26 points that's who you know which gap to trade every morning 20 points or more tells you it's good and obviously I am the teacher in this scenario you would learn from me the class is online you can be anywhere in the world and take it so how much money do you need to trade the golden gap well obviously need the cost of the course the class is six grand then you need to open up a day trading active account after the class again prop accounts minimum 2500 retail accounts 25,000 you choose the type of account and broker that suits your personal needs wherever you want to go you have to check them out they have different platform fees and different commission structures too but you definitely can start out as a beginner trader with a prop account and trade my system even if you only risk $100 a trade at the end of the week that's 500 bucks and at the end of the month guess what that's two grand and two grand isn't bad for a small small account to be able to make you know and I'm telling you right now that people just don't think about the fact that they can start at a set place and go up the ladder people say well I don't want to start here I start up here no start here and go at a nice smooth pace it's a lot less stressful awesome and you'll learn as you go there's no downside starting out with a small account there's no downside starting out as a beginner and it teaches you to be disciplined and to focus on the information the information that I teach in the class and that I discuss in the trading room so the class is called the golden gap course class is December 15th and 16th last class of the year very important because if you want to start trading with me right away is in January 1st by 2019 then you better do the class in December and it's gonna be a good year next year was a good year this year it's gonna be even better one because of the volatility and also as you know I'd like to focus on the shorts and we're getting some selling action here in the market recently so December 15th and 16th is the class nine to five eastern time cost of class is $59.99 US dollars classes online it could be anywhere in the world and take it if you want to do the convotes the trends in the golden gap this is about long-term trends does help your day trading good for swing trading options cost of the class is $64.99 two classes for the one price and this is a great deal running an early bird through December 8th sign up for the golden gap course for December you get the trading room and options that are free through 228 okay deadline for this is Saturday December 8th so think about what I said tonight look into prop accounts if you want to there's so many places out there do your due diligence check the places out if you have any questions email me at thestockswish.com


States were running Genesis backwards, were de-creating. The philosopher Alfred North Whitehead stated, the universe is a creative advance into novelty. Create, de-create, recreate. I believe the part of the profundity of the float experience is that it creates a cauldron of creativity. In terms of perception, to paraphrase a philosopher, we exist in a flowing this-ness from which we posit moments. These moments are not isolated. They are more like notes in a piece of music, where meaning comes from relationality. A question would be, is there a pure moment? If so, could that moment be a vital potential? The moment of creativity, and therefore of hope. When we gather in celebration of the vital potential of the float, we create a symphony of awareness, of relation. From the heartfelt science, the mindful breath, the useful, often profound practices, the moving stories, the innovations, the overt creativity, we celebrate not just the float, we celebrate hope. Roshi Joan Halifax stated in relation to meditation, which I think also refers to floatation. She talks about the dissolution of the earth element as form unbinds into feeling. It has been theorized that feelings are high-order manifestations of bodily generated emotions, that feelings are the wellspring of sentience, of being, and that they permeate our consciousness. It has been said that the deepest feelings, the deepest biological function of feelings is that they guide our behavior in times of uncertainty. Are we not somehow immersed in a period, possibly an era, of uncertainty? The upwelling of feelings in the float, the often deep reveal that occurs, helps guide us. If feelings are fundamental to consciousness, then in the float, are we not accessing an essential aspect of the self? That the float supports and enhances the creation and manifestation of feelings, which we see so artfully in the images of Dillon Kahn. If so, could there be a more humanizing experience than the float? We float in an organismic zen, an intero-intuitive state. We resonate more deeply with what lies within how our minds and our gut are intertwined, how our perceptions and our thoughts play. Is not this state kind of an alternative milieu of neither being nor non-being, which signifies a side of the coming? In this in-between liminal state, do we experience what's called the hypnagogic? In neuro phenomenology, they state that the world is more what I live than what I think. And meaning is the bodily attunement in the world where we are intertwined with the basic stuff or flesh of the world. When we engage in deep practices like flotation, the inner environment gives its message to the receiving flesh. This is the deep text. We experience that deep text in the float. Philosopher and neuro phenomenologist Evan Thompson says the two key features of the hypnagogic are a slackening of the sense of self and a spellbound identification of consciousness with what it spontaneously imagines. Rather than being distracted, attention is fascinated. It loses itself in the image, in the imagining, and imagination may be the most important asset we possess. Have we not all originated in the dark saltwater chaos, depth itself? In theology and creation myths, the primal chaos which proceeds and gives rise to the generative tensions between order and disorder, form and formlessness. In the float, do we not symbolically return to that state? This is the great embrace. And is it any wonder how powerfully hugs manifest in this population? In the float, in the dark, in the silence, being immersed mutes the stridentcy of the dominant discourse, allowing an inner, possibly wiser voice to manifest. More attuned to what is called the Unus Mundus, a deeper state of being. There has been much talk about the concept of center or finding center. In the float, don't we often re-evaluate the center, the symbolic, bodily, nature-imbued center as opposed to the center as prescribed and enforced by a culture which dominates, defines, and demands? Certainly, we must meet some of those demands to dwell therein. But we of the float are explorers, purveyors, articulators of a renewed center which can redefine the periphery, redefine our reality. I have always thought that many of the people in this community could be called peripheral personalities, or peripheral people, obviously able to negotiate the center, but dwelling on the edge, the periphery, the intellectually creative wetlands, where, if you will, is the most second state where life in its great diversity thrives best. The poet states, we must pull the nails from our frame of reference. And in this, the float excels. Is this the center which science strives for? It is the center in which our spirit can manifest, however you want to define that term. Science and spirit, a dichotomy which is really and essentially the dual aspect of an engaged life. Again, in this dual aspect, the recognition of this dual aspect, the float excels. Simplistically speaking, there are those who believe and theorize that consciousness is a neurocognitive self phenomenon. Personal which expands to the social in this society. Others who believe it to be transpersonal, possibly cosmic. The luminous. Despite this, the clinical, the psychological, the philosophical, the poetic, the spiritual, the therapeutic often revolves around a reformatting, a renewal, maybe even a rebirth, where we begin to sense that we are not separate. We are deeply intertwined with the other, even if that other be different aspects of the self. In the float, we may begin to experience a relational account of the self. Begin to understand that perception is not wholly the achievement of a mind and a body, but also the whole organism in its movement in the world. It is this movement which brings us together, interconnected, open-ended. This conference is essential in that it brings your disparate brilliances together. To listen, to hear, to learn, to create, to enhance, to hug. This is a very, very vital community. Your work, your lives are essential. And as we've heard here in the last two days, becoming more and more essential. So, float on. And thank you.


what do you got after watching these two play both teams have lineups that can beat up on anybody in baseball no pun intended right there for the ball but the second thing is I think both organizations understand that in order for them to get to the postseason they have to go through one another they know that both teams are going to be there in the end so it's important to each ball club to play well and kind of win that psyche battle over each other well after the brawl last night I love the emotion that's in this series now and this is the first series of many games 16 left with these guys don't going toe-to-toe but they're very talented I think Boston really has that edge now at the beginning of the year because your new managers you want to get off to a good start the weather hasn't cooperated with a lot of people throughout the Northeast this is going to be something that the Red Sox have to build upon because the Yankees last year one game away from the World Series and also getting Giancarlo Stanton that's huge for him now that being said be careful of Giancarlo Stanton because being in New York having the good first game and then it really has has been a mixed bag since the defensive play tonight watch how that evolves as well talented player but a lot of pressure the big triple last night that help with that defense way well what good news is he should be going back to more of a DH I would think Hicks is back now we'll see how they play that outfield with Aaron Boone but the Nationals look so great right now you buying or selling the Nationals I'm still buying them you have you have Scherzer and Strasburg up there they can pitch you out of slumps they've already had to do that early on in this season you have those two power arms that can beat any team in baseball they should be all right still waiting on Zimmerman to come up come alive at the back trade turner still lagging but I think they'll be just fine I think there's a division a lot tougher and it hit them in the mouth early I think the pressure is continuing to mount for the Nationals because they are a juggernaut when you think of the regular season they're so talented and they're very deep obviously they have the two studs at the top of the top of the rotation and Bryce Harper it's looming the free agency you wonder if that's gonna affect some of the things but they have to get into playoffs and do well because there's a lot of excuses being thrown by the manager way and they've changed the manager multiple times that's the problem that I have with the Nationals they have to step up and get it done it's not about the regular season it's about the playoffs for them yeah and you know it's funny you're so good in the regular season you wonder you know gotta be hard at some point all right let's go with 97 and get back to the playoffs and who doesn't want to see Max Scherzer in the playoffs and pitching the way he does course that's the guy that you want to see because Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer those are the those are the guys in the National League yeah they don't look great they got too much talent you figure they will be just fine and Daniel Murphy's out gotta have him back at some point coming back from micro fractures so hopefully he come back and be the hitter that he always is


I'm obviously wondering if there's a sensual resolution that's going to be against it. Is what he's done and it needed to report worthy of censure? Not in my view. Ever since Democrat Jamal Bowman pulled that fire alarm to obstruct congressional proceedings, a crime that many peaceful J6 protesters were charged with, the usual suspects have been circling the wagons to ensure that Jamal Bowman is not held to his own standards. We expect that from our corrupt state media and their Democrat Party cohorts, but not the Capitol Police. If you're one of the few out there who think the Capitol Police have any integrity, then you might wanna see this. But first, with worldwide conflict looking more imminent every day, it's time to prepare. My Patriot supply, the largest preparedness company in the country, is dropping the price of their top-selling three-month emergency food kit. Get a delicious variety of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and more for $200 off. Secure your supply of this three-month emergency food kit from my Patriot supply. Visit preparedwithdronetech.com to save $200 on your food security. Okay, so back in September, Democrat Jamal Bowman pulled a fire alarm just before a vote to avert a partial government shutdown. We were shown pictures of Jamal Bowman pulling the fire alarm and we were told that he did it on accident in frustration as he hurried to make the vote. We were told that the doors had signs on them explaining how they're open, but due to some kind of shadowy conspiracy by Republicans, they were removed. The doors that are normally open so that he could get to the chambers to read were somehow miraculously closed. How did that happen? Lady, you're scaring us. Leading to Bowman, a former middle school principal to pull the fire alarm. Then last week, we find out that Bowman's getting a slap on the wrist and being charged with a misdemeanor. And later that day, Bowman was doing interviews where he was bragging that he cut a deal where the charges would be expunged from his record. Pay the fine. Three months from now, it'll be dismissed and I'll be able to just continue to serve my district. You mean it'll be dismissed like it'll be expunged from your record? I believe so, yes. That's the deal? Yes, yeah. With capital, please? ACD, the DC AG. Okay. Yeah. Man. Except the full video got released on the same day and we all saw Bowman walk with specific purpose to the door, remove the signs and clearly pulled the fire alarm on purpose. While reading a CBS news article on the story which seems to have been out before the video was released, I noticed that the Capitol Police appeared to be lying about what we clearly see in the video. First, I love how this paragraph starts. Congressman Bowman was treated like anyone else who violates the law in the District of Columbia. Based on the evidence presented by the Capitol Police, we charge the only crime that we have jurisdiction to prosecute. Except the Capitol Police are lying about what Bowman did which they would never do for you. And in affidavit for an arrest warrant, a Capitol Police officer investigating the incident said there were three signs near or on two doors that said quote, emergency exit only. Kind of weird for these journalists not to mention that officer's name. And I'll come back to that. When Bowman tried opening the doors and failed, he then turned to the fire alarm on the wall that had a warning and triggered it. Immediately afterwards, the defendant turned to his left away from the exit doors. Yes, the sworn affidavit from this Capitol Police officer states that Bowman tried opening the doors and failed. Not only did he not attempt to open doors, he didn't even attempt to open door. Er, wait a minute. Now that I'm looking at this video over and over again and zooming in, it's become pretty clear to me that he did try to open the door and knock the sign off in the process. So yeah, I was wrong. After working on this entire video, I didn't want to just toss it out. So I figured might as well just present what I found and that's Bowman actually trying to open the doors and knocking the signs off, which means the Capitol Police officer wasn't lying. I still think Bowman intentionally pulled that alarm. He undeniably lied about it. And it still seems like the Capitol Police and the media are both doing damage control for Bowman. I admit what I'm wrong and there you go. All right, folks, that's all I have for that one. I appreciate you watching and I hope you keep coming back.
