Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby cheating video and today we're going to talk about doing the Crimson Armor that I do on my Slaves of Darkness. I had a lot of questions about it for my Crimson Cabal Force when I posted up my chaos warriors and in recent hobby cheating videos so I thought I'd take a do a whole video where I show you exactly how I went about it. So here I have my chaos lord on Karkadrak. He's all puttyed up because the parts under here are already painted since they were beneath the armor so then we just have our putty over him. I didn't bother to putty the whole cloak because I just set that black so I could tell kind of how light everything else was looking in comparison. So now we're going to get to the painting. Now I'm going to warn you most of this at the beginning will be airbrush and then we'll finish up with brush but that being said I thought we'd start over here so you can see the paints that I use under this. So our highlight is going to be Glacier Blue from Vallejo. This is actually a game color but this is my thinned down airbrush version. I just pre-mixed some for airbrush really like them. I have some Nocturna Fantasy from Vallejo Crimson. I have some Scale 75 Fantasy and Games Bloodfest Crimson. You can see the difference there. You see how this one has more red in it, more red orange. This one has more purple so we use both of those. Then we have a little bit of Inks we're going to use in some amount. We have a Process Magenta here just for a light tone. We have Red Earth which is using a very, very, very, very, very, very, very minor amount to just influence the red tone and push a little more orange back into it. Then we have Payne's Gray which is what we use for our shadow color. When you put this blue together with the red you get a nice purple. Now technically this armor breaks a rule in that it has a cold highlight and a cold shadow and I don't care because that's what I wanted to do with them and I like that effect. So you can sometimes break the rules when you feel like it. So I'm going to pause here. We'll jump over to the airbrush booth and I'll show you how we attack this. Alright so we're over here in the airbrush booth. Now so we understand this whole time I'm going to be using my Iwata HP CS Highline. This has a really fine spray control. I have the actual like air nozzle down here turned way down so very little air comes out. I'm going to be here then or not. It's very quiet. We have we're set at 18 psi and we're going to start with a 2-1 thin, so 2 thinner to 1 paint of the Bloodfest Crimson. So the first step is just setting the kind of base tone over the whole armor. Now this is going to be very very pink when we do the first layer. You'll notice that when I'm hitting this armor I'm trying my best to be really really controlled with how I apply this. I don't want it pooling anywhere. Nothing like that. Very thin, thin, thin paint and that's okay. We can do thin paint. We just have to really control how much we're actually spraying out and if I hit stuff like the other things that I haven't painted yet like his sword or his arm or the fur I don't care because that's all going to get covered in different colors later so it doesn't really matter. So we just kind of cover this all up here. Nice thin coat of it and we're good to go. There's his armor and his hand. Great. Okay, so easy peasy, lemon squeezy. There we go. Now he's all he's a pretty pink knight. Oh sorry his little leg back leg plates almost forgot those and we'll get this little thing too. We've got a lot of different little armor plates. Okay. So once we have that done then what I'm going to do is I haven't changed the paint but I'm going to go in with the same crimson and we're going to find and start establishing some initial areas where I want it to be deeper. So basically in the area that I'm going to pick is my shadows. I'm going to start laying in a little stronger amount of this crimson. So like here on this plate for example I'll bring the shadow up toward the top, right? Here on this again shadow toward the top this is tucked away from everything so I just want to make sure those areas are really saturated. Here on this arm plate we're going to come in and get the top real strong under there that plate. So you see what I'm saying here I'm using the angles of this thing. If it were rounded I would be doing the same thing with the whatever area, whatever area is going to end up being in shadow I'm pulling up toward that and making sure that I'm setting that just quite, quite pink basically, right? And again there's, it doesn't have to be, you can kind of pick the logical sense if you have a good part of it of where the shadows are going to be. If this were like a chaos shield it'd probably be the, it'd probably be the bottom of the thing that would be in shadow depending on the angle of the shield. The new chaos shields in the new kit are all over the shop crazy so it's kind of whatever. So this is the shadow scheme for your, your minis and you're good to go. Okay so good to go there we've got that reinforced. Now what we're going to do is just walk down the progression. I still have that same thinned blood fest crimson in here and I'm going to dump most of the excess out. You can see now that's what I've got left in there. I know it's kind of dark I apologize but there you go. Most basically most of the paint's gone. Then I'm going to refill it with again we'll go two to one but this time I'm just going to take the standard nocturna crimson just a little more red or sorry a little more purple I apologize go about the same ratio there but I'm also just going to put a single drop of that red earth in there so this has a lot this is about one to ten of the existing ratio okay so it's a very very small amount but that ink is very potent so you can see how much we've got in there we mix that up nice and nice and stirred you can see how that red earth just has a heck of an effect like it's it's shocking how much it actually influences that red color so once you've got that we of course do a little test on the back of our hand right sorry I was realizing his heads off camera here and I needed to get his head there's a little happy head okay so now what we're going to do is we're going to come in and we're going to just reinforce toward those shadows with this color it's not going to have a huge impact but it's going to set a little bit more of that red tone that we want because we do want this to be crimson not pink not magenta it's got to be crimson think like dark red wine that's effectively what we're aiming for ultimately trying to decide what on his leg is armor and what's a boot his weird feet I can always black that out if it's wrong no big deal so once again we just kind of push toward those shadows same thing as before we'll get up under you know way up under here under his arms and stuff real well that's going to be completely in shadowed basically nice simple step we're just strengthening up that color making it a nice strong version of that pulling constantly toward those shadows okay so the reason we're doing that is because we want to start setting some of those more aggressive tones one of the things you're trying to do when you're when you're trying to nail a sort of interim color like this you want to make sure that you know the airbrush a good tool it can work fast so let's use it to our advantage let's make sure we have all those tones in there working for us right so if we want a little more red let's lay some more red down now at this stage when we can easily then reduce it later back it out later this is often one of the ways I use my airbrush is I think what are the kind of tones that I'm going to want in here every paint is slightly transparent and when you incorporate more of those varied colors in there your brain doesn't even consciously see it but it knows it's happened so given that now we're good to go there our next step is going to be to continue shadowing so take that big bunch of paint we're gonna dump most of that out just dumping it into my paint cup there okay all right now so again we're back down to basically just an almost empty paint cup not washing the whole thing out don't need to but there's still I left a little bit in there now we're gonna get out our dollar roundy Payne's gray ink so this is a blue black what we're gonna do here is we're gonna go five to one so ten drops of thinner to two drops of ink okay because this stuff is real real strong and we want it to be real real thin then we'll mix that up and you can see now instantly how dark that is we test on the back of our hand there that's the color we get so now we're gonna reinforce our strong shadows so we have to be real careful about this because we don't want we don't want to go overboard so we're just real careful like a little surgeon with our airbrush moving over those areas that we want in that nice deep shadow don't have to get it all at once notice how little air I'm using how little I'm rocking the trigger back very very very light touch I can do it multiple times and keep working that right no issue at all so we can just very carefully work our way around the mini you'll see how I'm just finding each little shadow getting the airbrush right up in there working real close and just making sure that I get each one of those little shadows the most important part is on these big plates so we establish a nice strong directional shadow that's what's gonna draw the eye that's what's important so when we lay in these real deep shadows under the armor you want to make sure that as you can see here on this like back leg plate you can see how that's really causing that directionality that's what we want so continue this just reinforce some of my deepest shadows here as I make my way around the thing and then next now is when now I'm down to my deepest shadow so now I'm gonna clean out my paint cup completely I'll do that off camera and I'm gonna come back and we're going to then start laying in some of our highlights so I'm just gonna clean all this up hit all the rest of them I'll be back in just a moment okay so air brushes all reset and now we've just got pure thinned a glacier blue it's thinned a little bit more than two to one so let's flip our bad boy around here and now we're gonna do is we're gonna pick the opposite side of wherever we placed our shadows and we're gonna place our highlights okay so in this case they're rear of this panel again working very thin very intentionally with the airbrush treating it just like I would a normal brush right you see like the the motion I'm making almost as though I were painting with a physical brush trying to respect where the highlights would be stronger where they'd be weaker but I am gonna overemphasize the highlights the reason I'm gonna do that is because later on I'm gonna want to come back in and do some glazes and knock these back down if my highlights are weak then I'm gonna go too far when I glaze if I over highlight with the airbrush which again is something I think a lot of us sometimes always fear that we can make things look kind of over highlighted or cartoony with the airbrush which is true you can absolutely do that but that's okay just don't make that your final step one of the real keys to using the airbrush is to not let this kind of a high highlight or something like that where you're where you can have this real kind of spread out powdery look just don't let that be your final step you can always tell when something has that airbrushed look and part of the reason that exists like that is because the person didn't go back in and then sort of do the rest of the glazing like you would do in anything like you have to do even with your airbrush to bring all those tones into line so you can see how right now I'm just making all these little highlights around him just popping all this stuff out and yes it looks kind of ugly at this moment and that's alright it looks overemphasized and kind of ago and that's alright our little castle it'll be pretty he'll be a pretty little he'll have his pretty little pony and he'll be a pretty little boy in a moment we just got to get there almost every miniature has an ugly phase well welcome to this one's ugly phase right where we have these extreme sort of highlights that are just way over the top and that's alright get the fingies there just go through make sure we've got everything nice and set make sure I didn't miss any spots like the bottom of his leg there right and now we've got them all nice and highlighted now what we're gonna do is again we're gonna go ahead and dump most of that glacier blue into the this is what I do a lot I don't I instead of changing the paint all the way I want a little bit of that previous paint in there so that it's actually like again mostly empty so that it's just constantly picking up a little bit of that color then we're gonna get out our process magenta ink this is a little bit weaker than the paints gray so I go about four to one here so in other words I'm gonna put in two drops of ink to about eight drops of thinner something like that again none of these are like exact ratios or should ever be need to be thought of in in those discreet of terms there's no exact ratio they can even vary because you have different humidity or something like that in your area what I'm gonna get it something very pink looks like that do a little test here on my hand good okay so now we're gonna do is we're gonna find the edges of that the edges of that highlight we just did we're gonna soften that transition up with some of this pink it's just a very quick step because you're just literally hitting the all the edges of your highlight just softening it down with that pink this is because here in a moment we're gonna do a bigger transition on it now we and we just want to have we don't want to be quite so stark and quite so powdery this helps smooth that out the more lighter colors you use like that the more powdery your work tends to end up again it's one of those things that contributes to that kind of airbrush look that's a quick step we just literally place that pink against all the whites or against all the glacier blues I should say sorry the reason I use blue with this magenta is because it just makes it colder it's more visually interesting than just using white in general when you're kind of when you're working avoiding white is is not a must a lot of people tell you never use white you can you can use white I use white all the time and stuff like non metallic but when I'm just trying to have like an armor like this where I want it to be really visually appealing I'll try to avoid white instead use a nice yellow or a glacier blue it's just more it's just more interesting because the way it sets the tone you get a nice cold light instead of just instead of just some standard you know yellow white okay so now I'm gonna empty my cup again completely because it's time for the next step of paint and that one's gonna be a real fun one so you'll see when we're back in a moment and we bring all this together so back in just a minute right so now is where the magic happens this is how we take this very crazy sketch and we bring it into line do you do that we're gonna get out some golden heavy-body acrylic alizarin crimson when this is a super thick you know artist paint I think when most people think of this they don't think about airbrushing but all you have to do is thin it down so here we've got it very very thin this is using both my traditional thinner and flow aid mixture of 80 20 thinner and 20% flow aid as well as a few drops of water at a crazy ratio again it's it's hard to count because this doesn't come out and drops it just comes out in little squishes so you know thin the better way to do it is you test and as you can see here on the back of my hand that's about the consistency that I'm getting there that's right where I want it so now what I'm gonna do is come in here and over not the most extreme but just kind of bring that up and just very lightly start glazing that red in that crimson and that alizarin crimson you know Bob Ross he was a smart guy you knew what he was talking about he he used that now most of his projects and it's just such a wonderful tone it just adds this great color to this and when you put it over that that sort of pinky magenta that we've got you just get this really nice red tinge I hope that's coming through on the camera just how nice that looks so we're just gonna go through and we just cover almost all the dark and most of the light is basically what we're doing here so by laying a little bit of that crimson over all of that dark blue we end up in the end warming up those shadows a little bit and some places I will cover the light completely like say down here on the bottom of his foot like down here there wouldn't be as much light so that would be completely in the crimson color and that's fine up here in these more exposed areas I'll leave a little bit of that blue there for us or sorry yeah a little bit of that glacier blue I know it sounds strange because it doesn't really feel like blue again always just turning the figure to make sure I get it how I want just little things painting with it painting with the airbrush just like I would with the brush okay you can see how this is how we glaze with the airbrush and most importantly this is how we get rid of that airbrush to look when we do this final glaze of something highly pigmented like this you can do the same thing if you don't have that same heavy body acrylic you've got like any kind of crimson ink you can do the same thing I mean this is a very specific kind of color but there are other crimson's that are like it it's just a really really nice tool in your toolbox let me say to have that the listering crimson I'm a big fan of heavy body acrylics in general I use them quite often because they are so rich in pigment and what they do is because they can be thinned way down but still maintain their color they become really transparent you'll get the same thing out of inks I just happen to like this option a little better for this because I don't really have an ink that has the same richness of tone and that's what I'm aiming for here it's real nice rich crimson color alright so that feels pretty good we'll go ahead and do his head here so what I'm gonna do next there's a little head is we're gonna go back over to the painting desk and I'm gonna show you how we can touch this up with our brush and then continue to pick out the details continue to focus the pyramid down so that we establish the sort of full range of what's going on really pop those highlights out and control those shadows especially on this guy where we have all this ridiculous detail it'll be a good example of kind of showing you how we we deal with all these different services because the airbrush in the end on a figure like this it can only do so much for us it's you know this guy has a ridiculous amount of tiny tiny tiny detail so it's gonna be brush time now one thing I will do before I go back over there when you thin paints to this level especially reds and crimson colors especially with this much medium in them they are gonna get real shiny and we don't want that because that'll influence our ability to see and understand our color our true color and our blends later so once that's all dry I'll give it a few moments then I'm gonna hit everything with a nice mix of varnish in this case I'll use some AK interactive ultra matte just to make sure it's nice and dull I'll probably put like a drop of satin varnish in it as well maybe one or two just to thicken it up a little and increase the durability but it'll still be a very matte much more matte than it is here take on it so back over to the painting desk in just a moment but now you can see look how much more rich and aligned all those colors look because of that glaze now we've got this beautiful transition taking us up through all these colors and that's the that's the beauty of what you get out of that glaze right that final step that's what snaps it all together so back at the desk in just a moment all right so we're back over here at the painting desk you can see everything is nice and even in its finish now as the varnish is all dry so now becomes that there now is a time where we just we want to finish out our details so part of what that means is getting everything in order here adjusting all the small things edges all the stuff that the airbrush is not fine enough to control right on any miniature you're going to run into like this this one's kind of a hyper example of it but the reality is no matter what the miniature is the airbrush you could stop here I'll say that like if you're just interested in kind of you know having the piece and you're happy with this hey stop cool you're good to go but my recommendation would be at very minimum you want to take you know here or something dark so I've got my paints gray ink with a little bit of flow improver okay and what I'm going to do is come to each of these little cuts that are in his armor gonna darken those right down by getting the ink where it shouldn't be we can easily just wipe it off there we'll get the center of this chaos star he has this guy just has like chaos stars everywhere the ink makes it really easy to do this because ink already flows very well when we mix the ink with the flow improver it gets even easier we're gonna trace out that chaos star very lightly that way I can make sure I have a nice shadow for that because that'll obviously be metal later and that gives me the edges for that and let's me actually see kind of that space it's gonna occupy so a nice easy quick just you know sharp brush this is size 0 Raph 8404 and the idea here is it's hard to tell when you've got a lot of you sort of detail like this in the way the same thing is true on a lot of the chaos shields where you need to sort of establish this big blend but then at the same time you also have all this other nonsense in the way right and so it's good to kind of just give everything a nice little dark line understand exactly what all your your shadows are gonna be that kind of thing okay we'll hit all the rivets as well make sure those are nice and dark okay so once we've got all those down and we have a pretty good idea of what we're dealing with here as far as now it's much easier to see how that star stands out against everything so the other thing we're gonna want to do is obviously create all of our edges so here I've got a little bit of the original glacier blue and what we're gonna do is just come into all the armor we've got it thinned down with a little flow improver and we're just gonna side of the brush hit all our edges again we always turn the mini if we can't easily access the the the edge nice light touch just keep rotating the mini around in our hand so that way we always have easy easy access to the edges don't don't try to just draw it like don't try to attack it straight on if you can in any way just turn the miniature around just keep flipping it and achieve the same thing now we're also gonna need to get them the edges here these sort of stand out boxy edges that he has now here I'm gonna do this with this glacier blue but I doubt I'm gonna leave them all this color but by making it this light tone it's easy for me to come back in later and just apply some glazes here and there if I want to knock the contrast out so quite easily I could come back into that boxy edge and I could I could just take a nice thin glaze of that crimson like we saw me do earlier and we could just run that right at the top and boom because it's a super light color it's gonna transform any of the dark colors underneath would not we'll also want to hit the lower edges of all these cuts just like they were just like we would if they were painted on battle damage so if you've seen my how to paint battle damage video you know that I we always find the edge sort of away from the light in this case it would be the bottom of all these we give that a little highlight I want to make sure we get every one of them and again this is another of those things where like a simple glaze can correct it later so we can bring it all back into line if we feel like that's too extreme final thing we want to do is we want to make sure we come in and just kind of set our highlight to be really bright in the places where it's gonna be really bright so I start by just establishing a nice bright line like that then we add a little more water to the what's already on our brush and we just do a nice little glaze of it all around that okay that way we just fade it out and we'll take a little bit of that original pink color mix that in there as a nice thin glaze and just feather that edge right out and just feather that edge right out alright and then boom we get a nice blend just that easy if we need a little bit of time if it doesn't look quite as smooth just sit there let it dry just run up alright easy peasy so and if we want to just showing you what it would look like to turn that those bright whites into something a little more perhaps reasonable for this spectrum just grab a little bit of that glaze right over the top of each of these cuts and just turn them pink and there we can bring them sort of back in the line so you can see how they still show but they're not quite as obnoxious and bright if you don't like that you could always make a slightly brighter pink and continue to adjust a lot of the work is refinement with anything like this it's not just like oh we're gonna magically do it all in one step I think that's a challenge a lot of people have they try to just sort of like here is the steps I take ABC the problem is a lot of work when it comes to stuff like this is just sort of finding your way you test something you make it a certain color you see how it looks if it looks nice you keep it if it doesn't look nice you adjust it there's no there's no other way to really go about it so there you go that's kind of it the only other thing I might do is take a little bit of the darkest color here my ink thin that into a glaze and just as a final step come up into those dark corners and really make sure that my lines are nice and crisp and that those shadows are real dark and shadowed right so we just kind of the same way we pushed that that highlight up we can push that shadow way down and that gives us that nice full gamut of controlled contrast so there you go that's basically the armor now I'm just gonna repeat this around on everything else so if you like this give it a like I hope this was helpful for everybody who wanted to see this recipe it's a really fun color I love how this looks so throw a like down there I really appreciate it helps others find this video subscribe for additional hobby cheating we have new videos here every Saturday if you have any questions drop those down in the comments but as always I very much appreciate you watching this one and we'll see you next time


This paper presents an efficient online algorithm for quantum state estimation using a matrix-exponentiated gradient method which is previously used in machine learning. The state update is governed by a learning rate that determines how much weight is given to new measurement results obtained in each step. The algorithm shows convergence of the running state estimate in probability to the true state for both noiseless and noisy measurements. To guarantee convergence beyond the noise threshold, the learning rate has to be chosen adaptively and decreasing. As a practical alternative, running averages of the measurement statistics and a constant learning rate are used to overcome the noise problem. The proposed algorithm is numerically compared with batch maximum likelihood and least squares estimators, showing superior performance in terms of accuracy and runtime complexity.

We're in a recession. We're not in a recession. The recession is postponed. The recession is delayed Well, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter guys. In fact, if we go into a recession, many people say Recessions is where wealth is built. If we do hit a recession, I'm not gonna trip I'm just gonna build wealth But at the end of the day, if we are in recession, if we're not in a recession at the end of the day We want to receive a check in the mail every single month in the form of dividends by doing absolutely nothing That is called passive income as you guys know I say dividends is the best form of passive income because you literally do nothing at all except for let these big giant companies Right. So in this video, I'm gonna give you guys all I'm all of my dividend Pay stocks that I invest into now Now, I'm just gonna give you the ones that I invest into Specifically for their dividends because yes, I invest into Apple and I invest into Nvidia But both of those have state they pay dividends But they don't really pay dividends that you could survive off of it's less than a percent It's less than a percent that they pay on a dividend So I'm not gonna be focused on Nvidia or Apple or companies like that. Those are my growth stocks I'm gonna show you companies that I'm investing into specifically For their dividends in this video every single last one I'm gonna give that to you guys in this video So make sure you stay there after the entire video so you don't miss out on any crucial information But before we dive into all of my stocks, this video is bought to you by Moomoo signed up now I'm by clicking the link down in the description you receive up to 13 free stocks That's right 13 stocks just from sign up for Moomoo the positive hundred dollars you get even more stocks So if you guys want to check that out, I'm gonna leave that link down in the description You sign up the positive hundred dollars get your free stocks once you get them You could keep them inside the platform and decide to use it or you can sell those free stocks and withdraw All of your money guys is literally free money. Do not miss out on that opportunity. That's 13 stocks Also, I'm gonna leave a link in the description with we will you sign up with we will deposit any amount of money Just one penny if you want to and you can receive up to 12 free stocks paid up to around $30,000 don't do not miss out on free money guys. So if we do head into a recession, just know that you got some free stock options Available to you right here with those links down in the description, but enough talking Let's go ahead and dive straight into this video. Welcome back dreamers. Here we are on my rivalhood account I'm gonna give you guys what companies I'm investing into and why I'm investing into each one of these dividend-paying companies Now on rivalhood my account is at 98,963 dollars and 35 cents over the last week had a pretty good week And over the last month had a pretty dog on good month up 21% Still recovering over the crash that we had over the last couple of months heading into a recession But like I said, I'm not tripping if we head into a recession So let's go ahead and scroll down to some of my dividend-paying stocks The first one is Clorox took a symbol CLS. Clorox produced a lot more things than just Bleach they produce they they have a lot of different items inside their portfolio even barbecue items inside their portfolio So that's why I love the company Clorox But the reason I really love them is because they have a 3.1 8% dividend yield and they are dividend aristocrats Dividend aristocrats is a company that's inside of the S&P 500 and have been increasing their dividends for the last 25 years now with Clorox they have been increasing their dividends every single year for the last 44 years so they're very close to becoming dividend kings in order to become a dividend king You have to increase your dividends every single year for the last 50 years So if we do head into a recession I like investing into companies like Clorox because I know because they're so close to becoming dividend kings That they're probably not gonna cut their dividends in the time of a recession because companies like this have been through pandemics recessions depressions all types of stuff like that and still have found a way to increase their dividends that year so I like investing to good quality stocks like Clorox in somewhat Recession not recession postpone recession I know at the end of the day, they're gonna pay me out their dividends and then they're not gonna cut their dividends at all So that is ticker symbol CLX the next one is practice gamble companies like practice gamble thrive in a recession because they make Everything inside of the grocery store. In fact over the last year when everything is down practice gamble is still up 2.53 percent. I'm talking about companies are still down 40 50 60 percent practice gamble is up 2 Also, they have a dividend year of 2.43 percent and they also have been increasing their dividends for 65 years, they're not gonna cut their dividends. I don't care what happened They're not gonna cut them So I like investing to good companies like Clorox and practice gamble that pays out a Pretty good dividend and they've been increasing their dividends every single year for the last 65 years This is something I'm gonna pass on to my kids and they can pass on to their kids They're gonna make passive income every single month for the rest of their life Investing into good quality companies like practice gamble. So with practice gamble being our first dividend king Our second dividend king will be 3m ticker symbol mmm. Now. They have been increasing their dividends for the last 63 years, that's right. Almost just as long as practice gamble. They're not gonna cut theirs at all In fact, they have a dividend amazing dividend year of 3.9 Percent and I receive dividends from them every single quarter That means they pay out their dividends every three months four times a year The next one is Johnson and Johnson over the last year Johnson Johnson's just down 5.6 percent Johnson's just they have been increasing their dividends for the last 59 years So they've been dividend kings for around nine years now So um, Justin Johnson's not going to cut their dividends at all. They don't have a really high dividend yield on Johnson and Johnson, but it is 2.61 percent and and they are our Third um dividend king. So we got practice gamble. We got 3m and we got Johnson and Johnson all dividend kings Our next one is waste management. I love investing to waste management over the last year that up 14 percent I'm up 36 percent on waste management. I don't specifically invest into them just for dividends I just love this company man. They're pretty good. Um, they're always going up. They never go down Over the last five years, their line just goes up and they also have a decent dividend yield. It's not amazing It's okay, but it's a 1.43 percent dividend yield And waste management usually performs well as one of the top utilities to have inside of your portfolio The next one is AT&T tickle symbol T. They have not been performing too well inside my portfolio Down 41 percent over the last year. They're down 13 percent Now the reason why a lot of people was investing to AT&T Was because they had a high dividend yield of 8.73 percent Remember when companies have a super high dividend yield paying back out to their investors They don't have that much money to reinvest back into growing their own company. So you have to be careful So one of the bad ones I did invest into was AT&T I did sell a couple of their shares at the top So I didn't um lose too much. I just kept a couple inside of this portfolio But uh just because you see a high dividend year start with an 8.73 percent dividend yield Don't mean it's amazing dividend paying company because they could get cut at any time And they actually don't grow that well because their dividends are so high They don't have enough money to invest back inside of their own company. The next one is PepsiCo They are dividend. I'm gonna say they're dividend kings. They've been increasing their dividends for the last 49 years At any time now, I think maybe at the end of this quarter one of these quarters is gonna go from 49 Over to 50 so they have been increasing their dividends for the last 50 years And this will be the next dividend king paying company inside of our portfolio I love PepsiCo tickle some of PEP. They have a dividend year of 2.47 percent. The next one is Coca Cola Same thing dividend king. Um, Coca Cola always perform well. I'm a supporter of that product Tastes amazing dividend year of 2.7 percent. Okay, now we're moving on to some of my top paying monthly Dividend stocks that mean they path up dividends every single month You're going to get a check from these companies one of the first dividend ETFs I've invested into was SPHD It is a high dividend low volatility ETF over the last year. They're up 5.16 percent So that mean I have many different companies inside that portfolio that have high dividends In fact, you can look at their sectors right here and you can look at that top 10 holdings that they have inside their portfolio And they have a sweet dividend year of 3.82 percent and they pay me out every single month So we scroll down you guys can see I get paid around four thousand 25 cents four thousand 22 cents So I get paid around four dollars and 25 cents every single month just from holding how many shares I have 30 shares of SPHD Just imagine if I had 300 or 3000 shares of SPHD I would receive a large paycheck every single month and that is amazing. That's why I invested to SPHD But this is not my best monthly paying dividend stocks. We will get into that. I am up 15 percent on SPHD The next one is AGNC. This is a real estate read they invested to real estate They are required by law to pay out 90 percent of their taxable income back to their investors through the form of dividends And this is also a monthly paying dividend stock I am down a little bit 11 percent But I've made that back in dividends in no time I own 119 shares and they have a high dividend year of 11.27 percent Real estate reach usually have a higher paying dividend than other stocks So if we scroll down as you guys can see I'm getting paid this every single month 14 dollars 14 dollars 14 dollars 14 dollars for every single month So I'm not really down on AGNC I'm really up because they pay me out the dividends every single month So let's scroll through these a little faster SPYD same thing as SPHD No difference really up 15 percent monthly paying dividend stock You could choose either one SPYD or SPHD. They're pretty similar but out of all of them My favorite one is PEY for the high yield ETFs that I invest into on PEY I'm up 33 percent That's way higher than any of the other companies and they have a dividend year of 3.87 percent And I've been receiving around seven dollars from them every single month from PEY RITM they have a dividend year of 9.85 percent and I receive 50 dollars from them every single quarter In fact, I just received the 50 dollar payment from them. They pay me 25 cents Per share and I own 200 shares. So they give me 50 dollars This is one of my highest paying dividend companies that I own inside of my portfolio RITM the next one is another real estate read a real estate income ticker symbol Oh, I've been investing to them for a while up 15 percent and they have a dividend year of 3.91 percent A lot of people credit ticker symbol all real estate income as being the monthly paying dividend stocks. So if you guys run a real estate read to invest into Uh, I me not financial advice. I will invest into ticker symbol all real estate income IIPR, this is the next one can't really talk about them on youtube Don't want to get demonetized your own research. Um, they have a high dividend year of 6.60 percent Let's see. We got Microsoft and video Delta airlines southwest airlines, but I invest into those those pay dividends But I invest into them for growth reasons. So I'm not going to just add them to my list PSEC. This is another monthly paying dividend stock ticker symbol PSEC. I'm up 77 percent on PSEC They're up to eight dollars and 11 cents over the last year. They're down 1.58 percent And they have a dividend year of 8.86 percent paying their dividends out every single month In the last one, I'm going to bring you guys this QYLD I just recently made a video about them if you want to check that out You could click this right here there to take you to that video QYLD It's a cover call ETF if you don't know how to do cover calls are highly recommended that you learn That's why I did in my last video So you guys should probably go check that one out on how I make more Money and cover calls that I make in dividends I can make more money in one week than I can in an entire quarter of dividends So if you guys want to check that out But if you don't know how to do cover calls, you can invest into a company like QYLD They do it for you and they pay it out back to their investors in the form of dividends So QYLD, they have a dividend year of 11.73 percent And they pay out every single month as well to their investors Right now I have a recurring buy of $20 every single market day that is open I'm investing $20 into that company. So right now I'm all the way up to 15 shares And I'm going to keep this running All the way till I retire. Hopefully I can have around 1500 shares in there by the time I retire And I'm gonna and with 1500 shares I'll be getting so much in the form of dividends from just this one etf And that's it guys since you was wondering what dividend stocks I have inside my portfolio That is them. That's not all of my dividend stocks Those are just the ones I invest into Specifically just for dividends and if there were dividend kings or dividend aristocrats That's why I'm investing into them But if you want to know every single time I buy and sell a stock Check out the link in the comment section that'll take you to my Patreon The Patreon will take you to my discord Inside of the discord I post every single time I buy and sell a stock All of my option trades swing trade cover costs And we also have pro-day traders in there that post their option trades every single day And you'll also be a part of a great community of people just like you That want to invest into that financial freedom So if that sounds like something you want to be a part of check out that link down in the comment section But other than that guys, I've just had to show you guys all of my dividends because I begin in questions Hey, sure as your dividend sure as your dividend portfolio. Well, there you go Make sure that you subscribe to this channel So don't miss out on any future videos because I do plan on doing a video where I show you guys my entire portfolio Whether they pay dividends or not My growth stocks Stocks I swing trade all my option trades my leap options I'm going to show you all that so make sure that you subscribe to this channel So don't miss out in any future videos other than that. I'm zeke bring you to dream green show and I'm out. Peace


Hello, everyone. I'm Dr. Barani Dharan. I'm an observer at Vista Imaging and Specialty Diagnostics Hydrabad. My guide is Dr. Vijay Bhaskar Nori sir. I'll be presenting a pictorial review on cardiac MRA of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The aim of this talk is to learn how to diagnose HCM, what to look for and report in case of HCM on cardiac MRA, and finally to review a case example. What do you need to look for on cardiac MRA in a case of HCM? Wall thickness and severity, morphological pattern of wall thickness, obstruction, it can be at the level of left ventricular outflow tract or LV cavity, mitral regurgitation, papillary muscle abnormality, late geranium enhancement, and myocardial mapping. To diagnose the case of HCM, the wall thickness needs to be more than 15 mm on endiastole. There should not be any explainable systemic or cardiac causes like hypertension or infiltrative diseases. In general, the septal involvement is common. Even in cases of concentric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, there will be asymmetrical involvement of the septal. Whereas in case of other etiologies like severe hypertension or infiltrative diseases, there will be symmetric concentric involvement. To differentiate this, we can use the ratio between septal to infrolateral wall thickness, which should be more than 1.3 in case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. There are different morphological pattern. The most common one is septal form. The other common ones are concentric variety, mid ventricular type, epical type. In general, the apex is thinner when compared with basal and midsection. So a 15 mm mark may not be reached in all case of epical HCM. For this, we can use the ratio between epical septal thickness and basal septal thickness. If it is more than 1.3, it favors the diagnosis of epical HCM. In this case, the ratio is 1.36. The septal thickening and hypertrophic can cause dynamic changes. In this case of septal HCM, you can see the LVOT is narrowed because of the septal thickening and systolic anterior movement of mitral leaflet, which is also called SAM. This SAM is due to venturi effect. Because of this LVOT narrowing, you can see a turbulent jet. Because of anterior movement of systolic, anterior systolic movement of mitral valve, the mitral orifice gets opened and there is an eccentric mitral regurgitation as seen by this black jet. In case of mid ventricular cavity type of HCM, there will be cavity obstruction. Here you can see the mid cavity is obstructed and there is a turbulent jet. And there is also a resultant epical ballooning. In case of epical HCM, the epical cavity gets obliterated. Here in this case, a two-chamber view showing obliteration of the epical cavity. This is short axis view at the epical level showing cavity obliteration. There can be associated papillary muscle and mitral valve abnormality as well. There can be elongated mitral valve leaflet. In this case, the anterior papillary muscle is hypertrophied. It is arising more from the apex and it is directly inserting into the mitral leaflet without forming a chordate antennae. The same scene on a two-chamber view. This is a three-chamber view. On short axis view, the septum is mildly thickened. This is at the level of mid cavity. The anterior papillary muscle is much thicker than the postrolateral one. And also instead of being antrometrial, it is more anterior. This is at the basal section. Basal section, you should not be seeing the papillary muscle because it will transform into chordate antennae. But in this case of direct insertion into the mitral leaflet, we can see it in the basal section as well. The reason why we need to look for these abnormalities, this can cause LVOT obstruction and mitral regurgitation. When not addressed and only the septum thickening is addressed by ablation or surgery, there will be persistent LVOT obstruction and SAM. Myocardial fibrosis happens in case of HCM. It is seen as late gadolinium enhancement. The usual pattern is mid myocardial patchy enhancement and RV insertion point enhancement. Other pattern of LGE should raise the suspicion of alternate diagnosis. Even in cases with absent LGE enhancement, like in this patient with a septal form, the T1 values can be elevated, indicating early fibrosis. The main concern in patients with HCM is sudden cardiac death. MRI can predict the sudden cardiac death. Some of the markers are LVOT thickness more than 30 mm, late gadolinium enhancement involving more than 15% of the myocardial mass. LV apical aneurysm and thrombus. The thrombus can pose the risk of cardiac embolic stroke. Ejection fraction less than 50%. Usually, ejection fraction is preserved in HCM cases. If it is less than 50, it indicates birth dot HCM, and these patients are candidate for cardiac transplantation. Let's see a case example, 50-year-old male with concentric LV hypertrophy and preserved ejection fraction on echocardiography. Here are the short access views at multiple levels, spatial, mid and apical, showing asymmetrical thickening of the septum, more than 15 mm, establishing a diagnosis of HCM. It's a concentric type of HCM, as you can see in this four-chamber view. Right ventricle also is mildly thickened in this case. There is incidental erectile right atrial lesion. These are CINY loops, four-chamber view, showing cavity obliteration of the mid and apical region, and apical ballooning. There is also mitral regurgitation in this case. This is two-chamber view, CINY loop, showing mid and apical cavity obliteration, and a part of the apex is ballooned out. And there is also mitral regurgitation. Three-chamber view showing the same cavity obliteration, apical ballooning, and mitral regurgitation. However, there is no LVOT abstraction in this case. These are short access view at multiple levels. Here in the mid-cavity level, you can see the cavity obliteration and an apical region that is part of the cavity is obliterated, and in the true apex and the inferior area, it is thinned out and ballooned. These are late cardinium enhancement images, two-chamber view and four-chamber view, showing severely thinned out apex and inferior part of apical region with transmural enhancement. There is also an incidentally-detected clot. This is in four-chamber view. The right atrial lesion turned out to be a clot. It did not show any enhancement on contrast. Short access view at base-aliment level shows patchy mid-myocardial enhancement and RV insertion point enhancement. Ejection traction was calculated to be 55%, which is above 50%. LV-myocardial fibrosis was approximately 15%. It is calculated using software and of using the LG images. 15% is significant. Through summarize, it's a concentrated biventricular HCM. There was no SAM, LVOT abstraction. It was a moderate MR. MR leads to left atrial dilation, so the patient has a risk of arrhythmias. There is systolic obliteration of the apical and mid-myocardial cavity. The poor prognostic features seen in this case are myocardial fibrosis, more than 15%, and apical balloon dyskinesis and scarring. These two pose a risk of certain cardiac death due to arrhythmias, so this patient can benefit with ICD placement, which is implantable cardioverted defibrillator. There is a small clot in the LV, so there is a risk of cardiac umbilical stroke, so the patient needs anticoagulation. There is right ventricular hypertrophy in this case and clot in the right atrium. These are my references, and thank you.
