Assisted living facilities in carrollton tx

Cameras

2023.06.06 17:16 Flyingwings14 Cameras

Can anyone tell me what the laws are in an assited living facility regarding hidden cameras put in by the director? From my understanding cameras are supposed to be visible if they are put in but no one see's any. The only ones that have been seen are the ones at the entry doors but we constantly hear be careful there are Cameras. Isn't it against the law to have hidden cameras where residents live and they did not consent to be recorded?

2023.06.06 17:13 all-time-tacos Starting school soon and have a few questions.

I’m f 22 for context. So I start school in September. I just have some questions about going agency because my goal is to travel.
So I was told to work at a facility/hospital about a year then start applying for agencies. Would you guys agree with that?
Also, how do I come across the agencies that will pay for all your travel expenses? I have a suspended license so the only way I could travel is by flying and getting ubers. Is this common or reasonable at all?
I live in central IL for context

2023.06.06 17:11 bellasky75_ TW childhood SA -Prayers for a Period

I (26F) am vague on my abuser as I have yet to go public with this information. I don’t really know what good it would do at this point, and I don’t know if I want to go public with it.
Prayers for a Period
Once I was educated on periods and fertility at the end of the fourth grade, I consistently prayed for it to come. Not because I wanted to become a child mother. It was because I thought, maybe then, he would stop raping me. Maybe if I was in any way able to get pregnant from him, he would loose interest in me.
It was summer, 11 going on 12 years old, and bored as hell in the grocery store with my mom. For whatever reason I decided to make a detour to the restroom. An overwhelming sense of relief washed over me, my period came. I was fueled by hope and happiness. I really thought he would loose interest in me and I would finally be safe. What a silly, innocent, childish hope. I couldn’t be more wrong. It went on till I was 13, till he was no longer a threat living inside the same home as me.
It only happens when no one else is home, and it only happens in the shower. It didn’t matter if I locked the door to shower, he could pick the lock. I went through a gross kid phase because of this.
I try not to remember the details. I actually feel really unattached to my child self, I’m not sure if that is a good or bad thing at this point. I guess I will take it over trauma-pissing myself almost every day. The specialists couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t hold it, why, as an adult, I was pissing my pants again. Until I finally broke my silence about my years of sexual abuse.
I didn’t tell a soul. Not until I was 25. I had many therapists up to this point, but I wasn’t ready to talk about it any sooner. When I told her, she kind of broke-up with me in a way. She did not specialize in trauma therapy, and she did assist in finding me someone who did. Someone who specializes in EMDR therapy.
EMDR stands for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. I highly suggest it to anyone dealing with overwhelming trauma. I still utilize practices from that therapy, even though I wasn’t able to do it for very long due to loosing my job with medical insurance. I could no longer afford the sessions.
I believe I have done the most growing just in this last year, after finally reaching out for help to resolve the trauma. I can’t say it is resolved. I can say I feel like my current state is the healthiest I’ve been probably in my entire life. I know there’s some room for improvement, but I feel really good about where I’m at. Year 26 was overall good to me, I’m excited to see what year 27 brings for me, I am less than a month away from my birthday!

2023.06.06 17:09 skinshates Where to start looking for attorneys?

Hi everyone,
My husband and I agreed to a no-contest divorce. Children are involved. We share no assets and have been most cordial.
I am afraid he will eventually argue the custody arrangement we agreed on.
I am looking for attorneys, but I don’t have a ton of money in the bank to spare on top of bills. What is the best way to go about this in a cost-effective way, while making sure that the custody arrangement is in the best interest of the children?
Trying to keep this short.
I don’t want to talk about the backstory much, but to put things in perspective, he is moving in with a lady an hour away in the country to watch her kids during the weekdays and live rent free. I have been asking him to find a good job and help me pay for childcare since before we split, but this is the solution he’s found.
I am gone 12 hours a day at work, and we’ve agreed that the kids will live with me during the school year mon-fri and he can have them on weekends. The school district in my area is one of the best in the state. They have so many opportunities here.
During the summer, since he isn’t working, we agreed I could have them thurs night-sun afternoon. I don’t qualify for daycare assistance, and summer camp costs more than I can afford. It’s been a struggle looking for someone that can help for 12 hours on Fridays only. They’re on waitlists for day camps. I want Thursday night with them during the summer more than anything.
He threatened to move them to a school district with 20 students total when I suggested he drive up to pick them up from school a few days a week so he can spend time with them. Otherwise they’ll be at the after school program while he takes care of his girlfriend’s kids.
I am afraid he will claim he can’t bring the kids to me because he doesn’t have money for gas, because he doesn’t have a job. He swears she’s paying him something and that money won’t be a concern. This all is why I’m afraid he’ll fight me on custody.
She is older, more established in her career than I am, and i am afraid she will hire him the best attorneys for him to get primary custody.
I would just like to keep it 50/50 because the kids deserve us both. I wish someone had told me at 18 that you don’t have to get married to be happy.
Thanks.

2023.06.06 17:09 FTR2PTR Career advice (FTR to PTR)

Hey guys,
I'm currently a FTR custodian who drives an hour and a half to work. I've been using eReassign to try to get something closer, and am being considered for a position that's only 10 minutes away. The only issue is that it's a PTR (21 Hour.)

I had a couple of questions:

  1. Is that 21 hours guaranteed? I know PTRs often work 6 days a week, but to get 21 hours maybe it's a 7 day a week 3 hour job? Does anyone have any experience with a listing like this?
  2. I know that some places the part time is in quotes, and you'll get 40 hours a week. Is there any way to figure out if this location would be like that? I'm not entirely sure the Postmaster would be honest if they want to fill the position.
  3. If I do eReassign (same district,) how long do I have to wait to eReassign again?
  4. How do I see what facilities are in a bid cluster? I think this position would be more appealing if there were a lot of stations/plants.
  5. I've been told there's different accruement rates for PTRs. How does Annual/Sick Leave work? How about Holidays?
In general I'm just trying to see if it would be worth it. I could, for a little while, live off the potential less hours if it's guaranteed 21. I know it's a lot of questions, so thank you for your time.

2023.06.06 17:04 Mammoth_Dot9500 Building on Midnight Suns for a new X-Men team strategy game that plays more like an action rpg

This is just a concept I came up with, however if there are any concept artists out there that want to participate and helping draw this into more conceptualisation, hit me up and we'll take it to the investors at Marvel, lol.
So imagine this...
You choose your roster (yes your dream team lol)
These characters have many adjustments you can make before you take them out to battle such as their offensive, support, defensive positioning, which synergies they play with their comrades, what pallet swap etc.
Now things get interesting, your squad touches down in a rich environment as you would expect to find in a Midnight Suns game for example, except this game style mechanic uses your team to pursue through the environment as a whole, or you can separately select a member and the rest follow suit. The map has both land/air dynamics, and obstacles which require certain characters, this increases gameplay dynamics like they had in X-Men Legends 1.
This isn't anything like X-Men Legends 1 though, this is a team based strategy rpg in real time dynamics. When a battle approaches, you have the chance to slow-down time to select different dynamics in the heat of the battle, and also change the viewing angle for the best cinematic spectacle. You have a range of skills, abilities, etc as you expect to find, maybe 10-12 each character, but also each character has certain synergies with others as you'd see in a MUA2 game.
In offensive modes, characters are in the heat of battle and they engage in Melee or special attacks, some characters inherit more evasive abilities in melee while some brunt the force. Certain characters act as support such as teleporting in to rescue or creating ice/psychic barriers etc, while more defensive types stay at range or assist in taking the brunt of the attacks.
Now if you put that all together, imagine a Sentinel battle for example, where you can slow down time and select different synergies and paradigms like a Final Fantasy live action scenario, with all the benefits of X-Men lore and cinematic spectacle, then what we have is a timeless replayable classic Marvel would be silly not to endorse.

What’s she worth?
Bought this ‘99 to rig up, but I just have to delay that project a little bit (and could use the cash). Before listing it I figured I’d ask the braintrust what I could reasonably expect to get.
I’m only the second owner and live in Fort Worth, TX, but she spent most of her life in Iowa, so there are some points of concern rust wise. Underneath the rust looks thin, and there are a lot of places where she’s free of rust as well.
Inside is clean. No tears in the seats, etc.

2023.06.06 16:55 SourcerBot Ukraine dam supplying water to Crimea, nuclear plant is breached, unleashing floods

Here is the most important information, and related articles, from this article.
Published on 2023-06-06 at 07:42 and published by reuters. (5 minutes)
Save 5 minutes of reading with this summary:
The Nova Kakhovka dam, which holds water equal to that in the Great Salt Lake in the U.S. state of Utah, supplies water to Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, annexed by Russia in 2014, and to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, also under Russian control. However, Ukraine's state atomic power agency Energoatom said the water level of the Kakhovka Reservoir was rapidly lowering, posing an "additional threat" to the facility, Europe's largest nuclear power plant. Some 22,000 people living across 14 settlements in Ukraine's southern Kherson region are at risk of flooding, Russia's RIA news agency quoted the Moscow-installed head of the region as saying. The Southern Command of Ukraine's military accused Russian forces of blowing up the Nova Kakhovka dam, which is 30 metres (yards) tall and 3.2 km (2 miles) long. Ukraine's military intelligence agency later said on Telegram that Russian forces had blown up the dam "in a panic", in what it said was "an obvious act of terrorism and a war crime, which will be evidence in an international tribunal". Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will hold an emergency meeting over the dam blast, Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, said on Twitter on Tuesday.

2023.06.06 16:52 NearbyMushroom5746 AITA for telling my girlfriend her wishes would be fulfilled very soon?

(Cross posted to AITA sub) Not too sure how to title this but I’ll make it as short as humanely possible. I (23F) have dated my girlfriend (26F) for about three years. We were long distance for about a year, i was stationed overseas and working on my medical retirement but always made sure to fly back to the states and see her whenever I could. We always had fun, she wasn’t like anyone I had ever met before and I loved learning her mind and what made her exactly who she is. I was completely swept away by her mannerisms, the way she spoke and her knowledge. After moving to our new state, she got a job and a couple weeks into it, she was acting a little off. I noticed small changes in the way she spoke and her body language but i decided new things required some time to settle in and left it at that for a while.
One morning, I noticed it wasn’t really getting better and I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach. After a little while, she told me she had met someone at work who she found attractive and thought she might have feelings for. She asked to take some space so after a couple hours, we talked about it. I was really hurt. I asked her what she needed from me and she said it was already squashed, she had talked to a couple of her friends and they “reminded her what she had at home”. I chose to understand and move forward but I knew this was a little wound I’d have to tend to here and there and i was okay with it.
We slept in separate rooms and it crushed me but i still stayed with the program and made sure that her needs for space and time were fulfilled. It’ll be no shock to some that she ended things with me a couple days later. We cried and talked about the freshly signed lease and our pets. She asked me if I would still like to live there but in separate rooms and for some reason, i agreed. I told her that I made a commitment to my half of the bills and I wouldn’t back out on them.
I ended up moving out, i just mentally couldn’t take seeing her every day and i couldn’t get over her in the way I needed to. After staying with my parents for a little while, we talked almost every day and she would ask me to hang out here and there. It was fun to be friends but I knew it was confusing me. I did it anyways. One night she said she was going out with friends from work and asked me to let the dogs out for her. I drove out and i got that feeling again that something was just off and admittedly, this is where I’m probably the asshole. I set up the ring camera “for her” but also, to see if she was going to bring this individual into the home that I stay at every once in a while, and pay for. I let her know I set it up and she thanked me, all was well. She got home and sure enough, the person she thought she may have feelings for was walking into our house. I was so heartbroken and i felt betrayed. I confronted her and asked where the other person was (outside on the deck). She told me that he got too drunk and needed somewhere to stay, he would be on the couch and gone in the morning. Oh also, she threw in she had known he was gay for a while now but decided to not tell me because she “wanted me to trust her regardless” which, makes sense I guess. I left that night and the next day, boundaries were set and feelings were addressed and apologized for. One night as we were hanging out at my parents, she looked at me and told me she wanted to have sex. I knew it would complicate things but i wanted it. We hung out every day after that and reconnected.
I got my annual PAP, they have come back abnormal in the past so I get them done yearly. This year was no different, high risk HPV and abnormal cells present. The doc scheduled me for a cervical biopsy and over the course of a couple weeks, i was diagnosed with stage 4A cervical cancer. I took time to absorb it, i told her. She was devastated and asked me to spend the night. We talked for hours. I’m terrified and she makes me feel like I can be a normal 23yo around her.
Today, she was depressed the moment she woke up. She texted letting me know that she wanted alone time tonight. I quickly understood and while it did make me a little sad, I didn’t mind all that much and we said goodbye for the night and parted ways.
I called her and let her know I was home, we talked for a little about wanting to get married before I travel to TX to get chemo for the next couple months and we were both on the “yes when it’s right” train. A little later, i asked how she was and if she was home and she said she wasn’t. She was out getting a beer with work people, and I knew that he would definitely be one of said people. I don’t know if it’s the fear of my diagnosis or the fear of abandonment but i lost it (called a friend to express that emotion). I had expressed my feelings to her multiple times about this person and she seemed to be so understanding. She texted me asking what was wrong and i said I felt hurt that she chose to go out in the presence of this dude. She said she “needed a night to forget everything that’s happening. I needed space from YOU (me).” And it completely shattered me. I felt like a burden to her all of the sudden. Despite my efforts to only take care of her, I was in the wrong and I didn’t know what to do. She ignored me for the rest of the night and came home around 2:30am. She ran into her room and when I knew she was dressed, I knocked and went in. She told me I was mean for making her feel like she couldn’t have friends. I wasn’t allowed to talk to her about any of it tonight and she told me to leave. I left, but I’m stuck. I fly out in 14 days and I feel terrified. She texted me telling me that her space needs to be respected and i told her that those wishes would be more than fulfilled very soon. Probably not my best moment. I’m not sure how to handle any of this and i definitely have more to learn. Was i the asshole?

2023.06.06 16:49 saint_olive New Grad Career Choices

I am a BSN nursing student with 1 semester left in my program. Prior to attending this college, I became an EMT and I currently work as a hospital tech on a Med surg floor. I completed a nursing externship in a rural ER at a critical access hospital. I saw a lot of trauma due to this hospital being the only facility for a large rural county.
My question is this: what is your advice for getting a job in a different state? I’m not really interested in travel nursing (unless some amazing opportunity presents itself). I’m more focused on simply relocating to a more urban area, because I am tired of living in the rural south.
My plan is to work for a year at a local facility (most likely the ER) and then move to a different place and get an RN job there. Will 1 year be enough? Or is it better to enter a new grad residency out of state? Any advice would be appreciated.

2023.06.06 16:47 xtremexavier15 TSROTI 4 (pt 1)

Toxic Rats: Geoff, Scott, Leshawna, Sammy, Trent
Mutant Maggots: Anne Maria, Katie, Molly, Scarlett, Dave, DJ
Episode 04: Finders Creepers
"Last time, on Total Drama Revenge of the Island!" Chris opened over a stock shot of the camp, the recap montage starting off with a clip of the contestants racing off towards the side of Mt. Looming Tragedy. "Twelve bumbling buffoons battled it out in a brutal buffet of bombastica," Chef was shown gleefully dropping ice blocks on the climbing campers, catching Geoff and Scott but narrowly missing Molly and almost catching Anne Maria.
"Why all the 'B' words?" B was shown demonstrating his couch invention created from junk, "Because, B proved he was a brave and brilliant improviser who scored big time for his team!" B used an ice pick to poke holes onto a shard of ice and placed it on top of the castle, directing the sun beam towards the Maggots' base and melting it effectively. "Until his bitter teammate Scott allowed brainy Molly to botch it on purpose and B got the boot," Molly threw a snowball onto the shard, melting the castle and B was shown being flung into the night.
"And now," Chris said, popping up in front of a shot of the full moon in a cloudy sky with a lit candle in his hand, marking the end of the recap montage, "tonight's challenge is about fear." He made a devilish look. "And everyone knows fear is a dish best served, in the dark!" he said in an exaggeratedly spooky manner, an eerie sound playing as he laughed evilly. "Huh?" he stopped suddenly, the camera pulling back to reveal Chef standing next to him...dressed like a showgirl with lots of peacock feathers. "Chef!" the host said in annoyance.
"Wardrobe was all out of vampire costumes," Chef explained as the series's capstone then began to play.
"It's all scary!" Chris said, walking off to the left. "Other than that," he scowled and gestured back toward his off-screen assistant. "Right here! Right now!" he resumed his usual demeanor. "On Total! Drama! Revenge, of the Island!" He adopted his spooky tone as he finished the title, and ended with another evil laugh.
XXXXX
Frogs and crickets chirped and croaked, joined by an owl's hoots as the episode opened on a shot of the full moon. The camera panned down to the cabins as the sound of snoring was added to the nighttime mix, and the scene cut inside to the girls' side of the Maggots' cabin where Anne Maria and Katie were sleeping peacefully in the bunk they shared. Dave and DJ were also shown sound asleep on the boys' side, and the scene cut to the Rat boys to show Geoff also sound asleep.
The camera cut next to show Sammy waking up with a yawn. She stretched her arms out for a few good seconds and fell right back to sleep...until the sudden shrill wail of a blow horn pierced the air.
"RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Chris hollered from off-screen as the scene cut back outside, the blowhorn continuing even over the panicked shouts of the campers.
The camera briefly cut to a close-up of the blowhorn still blowing, then over to the Maggots' cabin as they ran outside fully dressed – first Katie screaming "What's happening?!"; then DJ just screaming; then Scarlett yelling out "This is unethical!"; then Anne Maria just hollering; and then finally Dave coming out, calling out "I'm wide awake!"
The Rats were shown next, Scott grunting "Me first!" as he shoved Geoff down the stairs and slid down the railing; Leshawna quickly running after him; Sammy screaming at the top of her lungs; and Trent coming out last at around the same time while screaming.
They assembled nervously in the common area between cabins, where Chris – wearing a pair of heavy earmuffs – finally eased up on the blowhorn. "Glad you all could make it," he grinned as he took off his headgear.
Molly soon arrived later. "Is there an attack or what?" she asked her teammates.
Katie shot her a quick glare. "Of course not, but why would you care about anything but yourself?"
Confessional: Molly
"Olay, yes," Molly moaned. "I left my teammates behind, but that was because I wanted to win the challenge first. I was always taught to focus on one thing before moving on to the next, and that's what I did." She grew concerned. "I don't see any problems with that."
Confessional Ends
"I hope you're all ready," Chris continued, "'cause it's challenge time!" He stepped to the side as Chef rolled up a large widescreen television on a wheeled cart. It was currently displaying an aerial map of the island with several additional colored icons – six bright green skulls scattered around the island; three yellowish envelopes over the campfire pit, the western edge of the campgrounds, and deeper into the forest; and a large purple spider in the middle of it all.
"We're gonna do a challenge?" Anne Maria wondered. "In the middle of the woods? At night?"
Confessional: Anne Maria
"Doesn't Chris know that we need our hours of sleep?" Anne Maria criticized. "I haven't even done my hair."
Confessional Ends
"Your challenge," Chris continued as though there'd been no interruption, "a scavenger hunt for three creepy souvenirs. Your locations? A haunted forest," he walked across to the other side of the television, "a scaaary pet cemetery, and an extra spooktastic cave. First team to each location gets a special clue," he said, the camera zooming in as he pointed towards the westernmost letter icon on the screen. "But watch out for booby traps," he added jovially as he moved his finger to one of the skulls, "I really went to town with them, heheh." The campers were shown watching warily.
"So move fast," the host added, "and stick together. You'll be penalized for each player you lose!"
"Umm, what's with the giant spider?" Sammy asked.
"Oh yeah," Chris answered as the shot zoomed in on the icon in question, "there's some kinda gigantic mutated spider sorta running around loose on the island."
The cast immediately started to voice their fears and protests.
"A huge, humongous spider is on the loose?!" DJ hugged Katie out of fear.
"I guess so," Katie said frightfully, but was secretly enjoying DJ hugging her.
The shot zoomed in on Dave in particular as he looked around, moaning "Oh no..." in annoyance.
Confessional: Dave
"Ever since I was a kid, I've never been a huge fan of spiders," Dave admitted. "They leave messy webs everywhere they go, and it takes me a long time to clean them up in places like my uncle's attic or my aunt's basement." A spider soon crawled down on a string. "This is gonna be unpopular, but I'm not a huge fan of Spider-Man because of my dislike of spiders." The spider hissed after hearing the criticism, making Dave flinch.
Confessional: Leshawna
"I may seem fearless on the outside, but spiders are one of the few things I'm terrified of," Leshawna said nervously. "Anything with eight legs is frightening enough."
Confessional Ends
"And since I want to keep things fair for both teams," Chris continued, "I decided to bring back an eliminated contestant for the Rats."
"It's so good to be back here!" the familiar voice of Sierra was heard, becoming more recognizable when she ran next to Chris.
"Sierra! I haven't introduced you yet!" Chris snapped at her.
"If I waited any longer, the episode would've been past the usual 22-minute runtime," Sierra explained. "I'll just go join the Toxic Rats and save you the trouble of doing so since I've rejoined."
Chris watched the fangirl run up to the contestants in annoyance. "Long story short, Sierra is the returnee." Chris regained his smile, and the dramatic and almost heroic tune started playing again. "There's nothing to fear but mortal terror itself! Talk soon," he added impishly, sounding his blowhorn once again.
The twelve campers ran off towards the woods.
\
The footage flashed ahead to another shot of the full moon over the forested hills of Wawanakwa, an owl hooting as the scene cut down to ground level. The logo of the Toxic Rats appeared in the corner of the screen just before the team itself did, running up and stopping in front of a tree with a loudspeaker set up in its branches.
"We're in first place! Sweet!" Geoff cheered just before the loudspeaker whined into activity.
"Welcome to the Haunted Forest!" Chris announced over it, the shot panning downward to show the six Rats gathering around a small crack in the ground. "Your clue can be found at the base of this tree!" Sierra reached into the hole...and screamed in pain as something metallic snapped inside the hole.
"Inside a bear trap," Chris finished his announcement with a laugh.
Sierra withdrew her hand from the hole, the trap clamped down firmly on her arm – though she was at least clutching a note in her hand. "Here! Read the clue," she said, passing it to a mildly shocked Sammy. Just as she was about to read it, the sound of approaching footsteps distracted her and her teammates.
"Bad news guys," Anne Maria commented from the six Maggots. "They have the clue."
"Even with a team advantage they still managed to beat us," Katie reminded them.
"We can let the opposing team have their clue," Scarlett said, looking back towards her teammates. "I have another plan," she said, running ahead with her teammates in tow.
\
The shot cut to the Maggots as they stopped at a clearing further along the trail. "So what's the plan?" Katie asked the girl in front.
"Find a place to hide so we can follow the Rats and their clue to our first souvenir," Scarlett answered. "Into that bush!"
The Maggots dived and painfully tried to hide in a thorn bush.
"Be quiet," Dave hissed, "They're coming."
"Inside a knot is a nest," Sammy read as the scene cut to the Rats. "Your souvenir lives with a pest. Find Polaris to travel northwest? Polaris is the North Star."
"The North Star is right there, so this way's northwest! There's a path!" Trent declared. He ran off, the rest of his teammates following suit.
"Now we follow!" Scarlett declared as the rest of her teammates came out of the bush.
\
The Rats' logo reappeared as the footage skipped ahead again to them running along through the woods.
"Inside a knot is a nest," Geoff muttered to himself as the shot zoomed in on him. "Hey Sammy, what was the rest of that poem again?" he called back without taking his eyes off the path ahead.
When he didn't get an answer he immediately skidded to a stop. "Sammy?!" he yelled in rising panic, and looked back to see nobody behind him.
The shot cut back to show that the rest of the Rats had stopped in their tracks. "What? Did we lose the mouse?" Scott asked.
Geoff gulped. "We get a penalty for each player we lose, right?" he asked nervously.
"And there's a spider crawling around, right?!" Leshawna said in panic. The shot cut outward as he did so, showing a large purple spider crawling down through the shadows of the forest trees.
"We're looking for a knot with a nest, right?" Scott looked off to the right; the camera quick-panned over to a large tree with a noticeable hollow knot in the trunk with the hints of a nest inside; a few green and red marks had been spray-painted on the bark under it.
"There it is!" Leshawna said, immediately rushing towards it.
"But what about Sammy?" Trent asked his team.
"We'll look for her after we get the souvenir," Sierra assured him.
Leshawna started climbing up the trunk as the rest of her team ran up to join her, and soon began to root through the tree hollow with one arm.
Suddenly, a large eye opened up inside the hollow and stared directly at Leshawna. She screamed, and several squid-like tentacles reached out of the tree's other hollows. One quickly grabbed her around the neck and held her up, while another gave her a few wet slaps then poked her in the eye.
"My eye!" Leshawna yelped in pain and terror. In response the tentacle tightened its grip, and Leshawna began to choke.
"What do we do!?" Sierra yelled in panic.
Geoff looked around, then bent down and picked up a handful of small rocks. "We can throw these stones at the octo guy!"
"Good idea!" Scott said as he and his team picked up rocks of their own and began throwing them at the creature, but they seemed to be hitting Leshawna more than the mutant squid-tree monster. Eventually, the thing just raised its captive up even higher, then slammed her down onto the ground and hissed at the others.
"RUN!" Geoff shouted, turning to flee as a tentacle shot towards them, forcing them to scatter.
Unfortunately, Trent was unable to get away in time and was lifted up by the leg. Trent cried in pain as the mutant began to punch him in the stomach with a curled-up tentacle.
The sounds of pain and wet punches caused Leshawna to get frustrated. "No way am I gonna get pushed around or let a squid attack my teammates!" she declared, getting back on her feet and climbing up the tree-squid's trunk while it was distracted. "Quit buggin' us!" she cried as she punched the mutant in the eye.
The beast bellowed in pain, dropping Trent and retracting into its tree. As soon as he got back up, a strand of spider's webbing shot down from above, sticking on to his head and pulling him away from the floor.
Leshawna reached into the knot once again, quickly and triumphantly pulling out a brass key. "And that's how I roll!" she called down to her teammates.
She dropped down to the forest floor, and landed in front of Geoff, who grinned when he saw it. "We got the key, Trent." Geoff received no response as Scott rejoined.
"Trent?!" Leshawna yelled out in concern. "Where are you?!"
As she panicked, the shot changed to a perspective further away, and the footage switched to an infrared shot of the four Rats.
"Guess he's gone," Sierra sighed sadly. "On the plus side, we found the key."
"We lost two players!" Leshawna said. "Shouldn't we go and look for them?"
"Knowing Chris, he probably has them trapped someplace else, so I'm not too worried right now," Scott brushed it off.
"You've got a point there," Geoff agreed.
Just then, the six Maggots arrived on the scene.
Scott was the first to notice them. "No luck here," he quickly said with faux disappointment, "Do you want to see if Sammy and Trent saw anything better over there?" he looked back and asked Sierra, Leshawna, and Geoff.
"Absolutely. It's not just the three of us," Sierra caught on before they turned and ran off.
"I see something!" Katie pointed off to the camera's right – the direction of the squid-tree. "Team colors!" The camera briefly cut over to the knot in question, with a focus on the marks below it in the two teams' colors.
"Excellent eye, Katie," Scarlett complimented while DJ ran to the tree.
"I'm not just a phone addict, y'know," Katie laughed a bit.
"I got the key, everyone," the camera cut to DJ who was in the tree's hollow and holding out a key. He threw the key in front of Dave and Molly.
"Way to go, DJ!" Molly said.
"Now you want to support us," Dave snarked at her. "Where was that when I was frozen?"
"Are you still mad about that?" Molly groaned.
"Of course we are," Katie snorted.
"You don't just leave your teammates behind," Dave lectured.
"Whatever happened happened," Anne Maria got in between them. "Let's focus more on the challenge and less on squabbling right now."
Confessional: Anne Maria
"I'm here to start no fights," Anne Maria confessed. "What Molly did was messed up, but they can scold her after the challenge."
Confessional: Molly
"Thank you, Anne Maria," Molly let out a sigh of relief. "Finally, someone who won't ride on me for my choices!"
Confessionals End
"You're right, Anne Maria," Dave sighed. "We shouldn't waste anymore time fighting."
As Dave bent down to pick up the key, however, a line of spider silk shot down from the treetops, wrapped around Molly, and pulled her up out of sight.
DJ regrouped with his team. "They said they saw something far away, so maybe-" he paused and looked behind his teammates. "Wait, where's Molly?"
The other four looked behind them and gasped. "Oh no, Molly's got taken by the spider!" Dave cried out.
"What do we do now?" Anne Maria griped.
Scarlett sighed. "Not to sound apathetic, but I think we're gonna have to continue on without her."
"Are you sure about that?" Katie questioned.
"I'm sure we can catch up to wherever she's being taken to," Scarlett waved off her concern.
"Well, I hope so," Katie said as she and the team exchanged nervous looks.
Confessional: Dave
"I don't see Molly in the best light right now, but that doesn't mean that I want her to be taken away," Dave began to shudder. "Especially by a spider."
Confessional Ends
"Why are we running so slow when we're in a challenge?" Geoff said as the scene moved back to him, Sierra, Scott, and Leshawna running through the forest. "We won't beat the other team at this rate."
"Relax, I know what I'm doing," Scott conversed with him.
Confessional: Scott
Scott was whittling another piece of wood with his shark tooth. "I'm heading us back into last place where we belong. Another elimination ceremony for the Rats and it's bye-bye Geoff! Or Sierra. I can't decide."
Confessional Ends
"C'mon, let's rock this! With years of exercise and partying, I've got energy to burn!" Geoff said, snatching the key from Leshawna and jogging ahead. The three followed him, but the camera kept its focus on Geoff as he passed a tree stump, then a rock; then stepped on a mysterious clump of dirt… which exploded and sent him flying.
Leshawna, Sierra, and Scott stopped immediately, the shot showing Sierra and Leshawna being shocked and Scott showing delight as Geoff got launched from one land mine to the next off-screen.
During this, however, a line of spider webbing was shot onto Sierra's leg. It quickly wrapped around it and tugged Sierra away from her team.
The camera finally cut back to Geoff, singed and groaning on the ground in an awkward but still holding the Rats' key. The Maggots approached him moments later. "Sorry that had to happen, doll!" Anne Maria comforted as she ran past Geoff.
Scott and Leshawna came to Geoff's need. "You gonna be alright?" Leshawna helped him up.
"I'll walk it off," Geoff tried to remain cool headed.
"Thanks, focus boy," Scott said.
"I don't want to strain my calves," Geoff added.
"We should leave in a few minutes just to make sure we catch up to the other team," Leshawna said. "Sierra just got captured, and I don't want us sticking around here."
\
The scene cut to the lantern-lit cemetery. The camera panned left across its headstones and crosses, several of which were pet-themed, to the entrance as the five remaining Mutant Maggots arrived, huffing and puffing from their run.
"Welcome to the Wawanakwa Pet Cemetery!" Chris greeted them over the loudspeaker.
"We're first. Nice!" Dave said.
"What's the clue?" Anne Maria asked Scarlett.
The camera cut in close as she opened the lid to a small coffin in an open grave, revealing a ragged piece of paper within bearing a list of numbers: 5 in the first row; 5 in the second; 5 in the third. Notably, while most of the numbers were plain black there were three 6s and the 18 were all an eye-catching red. "Three 6's is normally not a good indication of luck," Scarlett said with a nervous look.
"Let's fan out and look for numbers!" DJ said as the perspective cut back to its usual sideview.
"By ourselves?" Anne Maria asked.
\
"I'm in a creepy cemetery in the middle of the woods looking for three 6s. It's no big deal," Anne Maria said warily as she backed through the graveyard. "Good news is, there aren't any owls hooting around. I think I'm safe," she told herself, pausing to smile. "Now, let's see if I can find any numbers..."
She turned around and started examining the nearest headstone, and the shot cut to a view from afar, the footage switching back to infrared. The monster serving as the camera's viewpoint blinked, and when it opened its eyes it had gotten much closer to the jersey girl, and had extended four sharp limbs with tiny claws on the end towards her...
Anne Maria's scream echoed through the cemetery, quickly catching the attention of Katie, DJ, Scarlett, and Dave as they looked up in shock. "Anne Maria?" Dave asked out in concern, the footage quickly skipping ahead to show all four arriving at the location the tanned young lady had been snatched from.
"I could've sworn she was just here," Dave said in confusion.
They all gasped. "Where'd she go?" Katie asked in mild terror.
"I'm just as concerned as you all are," Scarlett started, "but like what happened with Molly, we should move along and hope to catch up with them."
"I know you're trying to be reasonable," DJ said, "but you're rubbing me off the wrong way."
"Yeah, it's like you don't care about what could happen to our teammates," Dave told her.
"I'm just used to not expressing my emotions on occasion," Scarlett told her team members. "Thank you very much."
\
The scene flashed to the Rats, where Scott and Leshawna were next to grimy coffins propped upright against a couple statues.
"Find the souvenir, hide the souvenir, lose the game…" Scott went in to unlock the coffin, but was interrupted by Fang bursting out of the coffin with a menacing grin.
"AAAAHHHHH!" The devious ran away screaming when Fang moved to chase after him.
Geoff was looking at a grave that was open. "This grave smells like french fries. Weird, but I'm not complaining." He got shoved in thanks to Scott running away from Fang.
The camera followed Scott as he ran past two open graves, one of which with a mound of dirt in front of it.
The mutant shark followed his quarry, but when Scott leapt over the mound of dirt, Fang tripped over it. The shark fell into the open grave and growled.
"Why does this graveyard smell like fries?" Katie wondered aloud, following a scent as she walked through the cemetery. She soon came to the pit Geoff was in. "Maybe it's coming from there."
"Hello? Anybody? I need someone to help me down here!" Geoff called out.
Katie backed away a bit. "Did that hole just talk?"
"It's me. Geoff!" Geoff tried to denounce her belief.
"Oh right," Katie sighed in relief. "You're the guy with the cowboy hat."
"That's right," Geoff confirmed her statement. "I fell down this hole, and I'm covered in grease right now."
"So that explains the smell," Katie realized.
"Can you get me out of here?" Geoff begged her. "Grease doesn't mesh well with my shirt."
"I would, but I have to help my team right now," Katie declined. "One of your teammates could get you out. Bye," she left the scene.
"This sucks," Geoff whined, unaware of four maggots coming by the grave. As soon as they saw the grease and Geoff, they jumped in and attacked him, making him howl in agony.
\
The scene cut to Chris, who was watching feeds of both teams on a trio of monitors and laughing hysterically. "Will anyone make it to the spooky cave?" he turned and asked the camera, holding a covered cup with a straw in it. "And if so, how can they possibly make it all the way to the finish line? Less brain, more pain, when we return!" he said, finishing with a sip of his drink.

2023.06.06 16:40 autobuzzfeedbot 17 Wild And Interesting Stories From "Normal" People Who Dated Celebs

  1. "When The Simple Life with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie was popular, I made out with Paris at a night club in Baltimore. Essentially, they were filming them doing all sorts of random jobs around the country and staying with local families all for the culture clash laughs. One of those families ended up being my friend and her family. Being a close friend and a well-known admirer of Paris at the time, I was invited over and got to hang with her a good amount while they were in town. Both of them were super sweet, and a lot smarter than they played for the camera. Paris was a great kisser, and this story is always a hit with my friends."
  2. "My mom dated Keanu Reeves back in high school. She broke up with him because he was too focused on his band with his friends at the time."
  3. "I worked with a guy who claimed that he dated Meryl Streep in high school. We all laughed at him until he brought in his yearbook and showed us their prom picture."
  4. "My friend's aunt went on a blind date with Gerard Butler, circa 300 (the movie, not the year). There was a big miscommunication, because he was looking for a hookup, and she's a kindly French Canadian woman in her 50s, but they both had a laugh about it and enjoyed supper with each other."
  5. "My friend dated Dax Shepard in college. She said he's super nice and genuinely funny. [She said,] 'Just a good-hearted man.' She said he didn't really express much interest in comedy or acting at the time (or ever really), so she was surprised that's what he ended up doing."
  6. "A girl I worked with dated Jake Bongiovi before he started [his relationship] with Millie Bobby Brown! She had nothing but positive things to say about him and his family."
  7. "Not a romantic date in the least, but I had dinner once at a Japanese restaurant (in a group setting) with Leonardo DiCaprio while he was in Louisiana filming Django Unchained. He wanted to know what college was like and was asking us all about our lives. He also let me try his udon. It was my first ever Instagram post!"
  8. "My aunt dated Matthew McConaughey before he was famous. He ended up getting invited to her wedding to my 'normal' uncle, and proceeded to pass out drunk in the back of my family's car. He refused to leave, and now my dad refuses to watch his movies!"
  9. "Charlize Theron flirted with me when I was an extra in her first movie. She was a 'nobody' and had a really small role. Then her makeup [artist] or assistant told me I was lucky. I was shy and backed away because it was odd having a girl hit on me so hard."
  10. "My husband's grandfather took Bette Davis to the prom."
  11. "My aunt went on a date with Jimmy Buffett. She said he picked her up, stopped at a gas station, bought a jar of pickles, and then drove to the beach. They ate pickles, and he took her home."
  12. "A few years ago, I was getting on a flight back to San Diego after my cousin's wedding. I was very hungover and judging people as I walked to my gate. I saw this long-haired man stride by me and thought, 'Who's this?' As he walked by, I realized that's Fabio! A bit later after getting a snack, my brazen and probably still drunk self saw him sitting at his gate and just sat down next to him. ... We proceeded to talk for 30 minutes until he had to leave. He was so intelligent! We discussed cancer therapies in depth, and I recall thinking, 'Fabio is way smarter than you. Just nod and smile.' Before leaving, he asked for my number and texted me the next day for a date."
  13. "My mom had a dinner date with George Clooney in the '90s. She didn't really say much, apart from the fact that he's an interesting and charismatic guy, but she honestly didn't think he was going to blow up."
  14. "A teacher of mine dated Rainn Wilson for three months. She said he was a funny and kind man. They also went to Mexico together. When I asked what they did, she replied, 'What happens in Mexico, stays in Mexico.'"
  15. "My aunt dated Weird Al Yankovic when she was in her mid 20s. I wasn't alive back then, but my family tells me he was a genuinely funny person in a way you wouldn't expect."
  16. "My uncle is a ski instructor in Northern California and had a coffee date with Pink."
  17. And finally: "I dated Flux Pavilion for seven years. It was great, so we got married in January [2019]. I enjoy my own company, so the touring isn't really a problem."

2023.06.06 16:33 MightBeneficial3302 Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) Special Report

Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) Special Report
Predictmedix – a great way to surf the Artificial Intelligence wave.
https://preview.redd.it/ebltwtbjqe4b1.jpg?width=741&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0009582d4b19ac1bb9536165ec88b94b8359023
There is a saying attributed to Mark Twain that goes, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but if often rhymes.” This means circumstances might be different but similar events often recur. This is good because securities regulators demand that you make it clear that in the financial markets, “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.”
However, investment analysts continue to use rhymes and here’s one that could help you see sizeable investment returns from Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF). This is how the rhyme comes together:
A. The 1990s technology boom: The parallel I see is between the current Artificial Intelligence cycle and the dot-com stock market cycle of ≈1990 to ≈ 2002. As background, the 1990s either developed or laid the groundwork for changes that completely transformed the world we live in. Out of that time came many new technologies and related developments and each was highly disruptive. Here is a very brief list of some of those developments:
(1) Nokia was the first mass-produced cellphone offered in 1992 with the ability to send and receive phone calls as well as store data (e.g. phone numbers).
(2) The World Wide Web, a.k.a. the Web browser was proposed in 1990 and debuted in 1991. This was the start of the Internet, Websites, e-mails and a massive amount of information that would become available to everyone.
(3) With the explosion of data available, finding it became a challenge. Mosaic started as the first search engine in 1993 followed by Yahoo in 1994 and Google in 1998. Today, Google has risen to the top and become synonymous with an Internet search. Google it.
(4) Other important developments of that time included the growth in the capacity of microprocessors, Photoshop, texting, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, realistic videogames for a more adult market, collecting and using DNA, the start of e-tailing and more.
(5) Finally, we have the stock market. Cisco, Dell, Intel and Microsoft are sometimes referred to as the four horsemen of the 1990s tech boom. But we can’t ignore Apple and Google and there were many more that benefited. The smaller, new, Initial Public Offering companies came to the fore with incredibly high returns in the second half of the 1990s.
The chart to the right shows how stock markets performed during the 1990’s high-tech boom. A few things are worth noting:
(1) The Dot.Com stock market cycle lasted a long t time. Essentially, more than the decade of the 1990s. It’s length reflected the importance of the fundamental changes taking place.
(2) There was an important development regarding the stock market that has become part of the stock market legend. On December 5, 1996, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan in a televised speech used the term “irrational exuberance” to describe a stock market that he thought was highly speculative and overvalued. His comment was intended as a warning from the Fed that the stock market, driven by the high-tech developments described above, was overvalued. His timing was five years early which is a lifetime in the stock market.
(3) The five years after Greenspan’s “irrational exuberance” statement was the most profitable for investors of the entire ten years plus of the stock market cycle.
As you sit reading this brief, imagine your life without a cell phone, the Internet, e-mail and text messages. How different would your life be without just these four products that emerged from the 1990s. A more relevant question might be how different would your life be if you had purchased shares in Apple or Cisco or Dell or Google or Microsoft back then?
B. The Artificial Intelligence Boom (AI): The term Artificial Intelligence was created in 1955. The idea was to have a machine that could take data, and find patterns that would enable it to make predictions and reach conclusions (make decisions). The Oxford Dictionary defines AI as “The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.”
It was Moore’s Law in 1975 that stated the capacity of semiconductors would continue to double every two years which enabled computers to be able to put into practice the AI Boom that is taking place today. Current forecasts say the AI industry will grow to $900 billion by 2026 and $15.7 trillion by 2030. AI growth in the 1920s could dwarf anything high-tech was able to accomplish in the 1990s.
(1) There is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom going on and many people don’t yet realize it is even happening. AI is used in:
i. Self-driving and parking cars. AI is used by Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Toyota and Volvo.
ii. Maps and navigation. Enter where you are and where you want to go by car and Google Maps, for example, will give you a choice of routes, the time optimal route taking into account construction and traffic.
iii. Facial detection or recognition. Facial detection identifies a human face or facial recognition that identifies a specific face that can be used for surveillance and security.
iv. Digital assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Google’s Now and Microsoft’s Cortana. When combined with search and recommendation AI, Alexa or Siri is able to learn your preferences and recommend things you are interested in.
v. Customer service chatbots that answer frequently asked questions, track orders or direct calls. Often people will be unaware they are dealing with a machine.
vi. Vehicle recognition use computer vision and deep learning to find a specific car on a surveillance video.
vii. Robot vacuums can scan a living area, look for and remember objects in the way, remember the best route for cleaning the area and decide how many times it should repeat cleaning a specific area.
It is estimated that by 2030, between 400 and 800 million jobs will be displaced by Artificial Intelligence and 375 million people will have to change to a totally different type of work. It is also forecast that it is not just lower-paying, blue-collar jobs that will be replaced by AI. Jobs such as accountants, lawyers, doctors, investment advisors and portfolio managers might all be substantially eliminated. AI will impact all industries and the rate of change will be exponential, that is, the rate of change will accelerate.
For example, what does a doctor do? In general, a doctor gathers new information, refers to a patient’s medical history, refers to a medical book or today’s Internet, makes a diagnosis and provides s treatment. This is also what a lawyer does. AI might reach the point where it can do it faster and better than a human..
AI does present threats to human existence. As AI is changing exponentially, it will happen faster than the technology boom of the 1990s. It took technology 20 years to produce the changes we discussed above. AI could produce equivalent changes in 10 or 15 years. For example, ChatGPT, an AI product went from zero to 100 million users within months making it the fastest-growing consumer software product in history. There will be others.
(2) The AI shift could drive economic change and a stock market cycle at least as significant as the last “dot.com” cycle. The “go-to” companies today for participation in AI are the likes of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ: META), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL). These are very large companies. GOOGL has a market cap of $1.6 trillion, AMZN has a market cap of $1.2 trillion, META has a market cap of $$648 billion, MSFT has a market cap of $2.4 trillion, NCDA has a market cap of $963 billion and ORCL has a market cap of $282 billion.
(3) While these are excellent businesses, they are also amongst the world’s largest companies. In 2022, GOOGL, META and MSFT purchased 2 out of every 3 AI chips. In my opinion, it is almost unthinkable that GOOGL can be a ten-bagger from a base market cap of $1.6 trillion or AMZN from $1.2 trillion. But it is clear these stocks now have a major component of their value derived from involvement in Artificial Intelligence and it is not surprising that early adopters would choose a lower risk/lower return approach to gain exposure to an emerging Artificial Intelligence industry.
(4) The changes created by AI also carry some risks. The speed of change will be challenging to human beings. There are forecasts that say one in four workers globally will see their jobs disappear and one in eight workers will have to be retrained in a totally unrelated field. During the industrial revolution and the tech boom, there was always the promise of more and better jobs. With AI we may have reached the point where machines actually do replace workers.
(5) Cathie Wood is a well-known and widely followed money manager with a reputation for expertise in the Artificial Intelligence sector. Wood manages a range of portfolios including the ARK Innovation Exchange Traded Fund (ARKK) and since its founding in 2014, Bloomberg estimates NDVA has contributed 13% of the fund’s 112% total return only behind Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, Invitae Corp and Tesla. That is all positive but Wood sold the ARKK holding in NVDA in January 2023 just before it rallied strongly adding some $560 billion to its market cap with $200 billion coming on one day after reporting earnings. Wood’s investors have basically missed the huge rally in the stock and the sector in 2023.
(6) But there is another phase I would look for and that is the participation of smaller, retail investors. Whether it was in the tech cycle I discussed above, the “meme” stocks or commodity exploration and development cycles in the past, the retail investor buys in before the bull market ends. Market pundits such as Citi global asset allocation and Vanda Research make the same observation: where is the retail investor?
We know the institutional investors have been getting in. So far in 2023 according to Bloomberg, the top 4% of stocks in the S&P 500 have contributed 94% of the index return and 8 of the top 20 include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet Class A, NVIDIA, Alphabet Class C, Tesla and Meta. In other words, the top 2% of the stocks in the S&P 500 contributed 94% of the return. Through mid-May, if the AI stocks are omitted, the S&P Index would be down -1.4% instead of up +8.3%. All of these stocks are AI leaders and each of them is an institutional stock. Yet, I believe the retail investor will come into the market and when they do, it is stocks like PMED for which they have always had an appetite.
C. I think investors will get more bang for their buck by investing in a small company like Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) with a total commitment to AI. From a base market cap of $16.6 million and, as I have pointed out in recent reports, many different business verticals to get them higher, I see PMED as a unique opportunity for aggressive growth investors. It is hard to imagine any decade having more of an impact on the ensuring socio-economic decades than the 1990s. Imagine your activities today without your cellphone, Internet, email and texting.
I expect the cycle driven by AI to be a long one, similar to the dot-com cycle that lasted longer than the decade of the 1990s. To the right is a chart published by Luke Lango’s Hypergrowth Investing. It shows the stock market in the 1990s and overlays current results. The parallels Lango sees include:
• Federal Reserve’s tight money policy slowed economic growth in 1990 as it is doing currently.
• In 1990, the markets were down around 20% and in 2022 stocks dropped around 25%.
• In late 1990, the Fed started reducing interest rates and the markets rebounded.
• In late 2022, the Fed has turned less hawkish and into 2023 has slowed the pace of interest rate increases. The markets have been recovering.
• In the early 1990’s, the dot-com stock market rally began and the market would advance generally higher for the rest of the decade and into the new millennium.
• Today, it is Artificial Intelligence that is pushing stocks higher and given my expectations for AI, it could stock prices higher until at least 2030.
Conclusion: I believe Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is exceptionally well positioned to participate in the upcoming boom in Artificial Intelligence. There are many different ways to describe market cycles that evolve around such drivers. Here is mine:
  1. Accumulation: the earliest buyers tend to be larger institutions that gain the information necessary to be early adopter. I have given several statistics to show this has been happening.
  2. Retail Participation/Speculation: as the story gains acceptance, less experienced investors enter the market and prices begin to rise more quickly. After two to three years of combined buying by large and small investors, it is possible to identify speculative activities such as very rapid increases in a stock price or underwritings of companies based on questionable valuations. This is the next phase I see ahead for the current AI cycle.
  3. Distribution/Sale: At some point, toward the end of the Retail Participation/Speculation phase, some investors will begin to sell. It is popular to believe that institutional investors or “smart money” sell at this stage. During the many years, I have spent in the investment business, this is not true. Institutions can hold on to their AI stocks for far too long and end up seeing their portfolios incinerated. This is still many years away. The challenge today with a stock like PMED is not getting out; it is getting in.
  4. Bear Market: eventually there will be a broad sell-off of AI stocks. Some institutions will sell without regard for their impact on the market. Margin buyers will get margin calls and may be forced to sell again without regard to price. At this time, over half of the AI companies trading at that time will simply disappear. Some will be successful but remain smaller. Some will merge with another AI company. Some will be acquired. Very few will survive and become leaders in the industries. They will become the Alphabets, Amazons, Metas, Microsofts, Nvidias, and Oracles of the 2040s and 2050s.
I started out with the quote “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” So I don’t think the AI cycle of the 2020s will be the same as the high-tech cycle of the 1990s but I think it will be similar. If you agree, Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is a stock to buy for your portfolio.

Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) Special Report
Predictmedix – a great way to surf the Artificial Intelligence wave.

There is a saying attributed to Mark Twain that goes, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but if often rhymes.” This means circumstances might be different but similar events often recur. This is good because securities regulators demand that you make it clear that in the financial markets, “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.”
However, investment analysts continue to use rhymes and here’s one that could help you see sizeable investment returns from Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF). This is how the rhyme comes together:

2023.06.06 16:30 Otherwise-Plastic-85 The Happening ep gave me a childhood reverie

I’ve always wondered why I had a bit of a soft spot for The Happening. Listening back to the 7(!) year-old ep suddenly to an intense childhood experience I will always associate with it:
I was watching this at age 10 or so with my older brother and his friends our the basement rec room. It was one of my first R movies, and I got to watch it with the cool older kids, so I was primed for this one to stick right away. Now, our basement room is one of those that is half-underground/half-above ground, so the window gives you a perfect view out to the front lawn and the busy street beyond it.
I shit you not… MOMENTS after the Jeep suicide scene, a drunk driver swerves down the road in front of our house and collides with a giant oak tree at the end of our driveway. The crash sends the driver flying onto the street (I guess through the windshield), the hood of the car completely wraps around the giant oak, and significant chunks of car strewn throughout the neighborhood (supposedly our neighbor found a pieces of metal in his BACK YARD).
Luckily, we lived across the street from the fire station and he received help as fast as humanly possibly. My aunt, who is a doctor, was visiting at the time and was able to assist until paramedics arrived. That being said, watching my aunt and dad calm down a drunk man who had just flown out of his own front windshield and prevent him from peeling himself off the pavement MOMENTS after seeing a Jeep purposefully ram itself into a tree in that movie left a big impression on my subconscious that only came back to me this morning.
All that said, still a bad flick. I’m and Old (2021) head forever.

2023.06.06 16:30 Radtech3000 Need advice

Hello, I’m not a nurse but I’m a X-ray/CT tech. I’m not currently happy with my job (due to pay) and am considering traveling. My wife is an occupational therapy assistant and so we had an idea that maybe we could alternate contracts. I work a contract then I take a break while she works one. Would this be feasible? How would this work for health insurance?
Secondly, I prefer small towns and small hospitals. Is this something they can be arranged each contract?
Thirdly, we want to plan on having a kid within 4-5 years. Is it worth it to start traveling considering that or should we just stick to working and living in our home town? TIA
