Waching daily Nov 2 2018

Wow temperatures have really plummeted this week. Take last night for example, we

had temperatures of minus 1 degrees Celsius or 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Now, our bananas have done fantastic this summer but it's now time that we need to

think about winterizing our bananas. Now there's loads of different methods for

overwintering bananas, but in this episode we are going to look at a few of

those and what I am going to do to try and overwinter my banana. And that's all

coming up after this. I'm Tony O'Neill and this is UK Here We Grow. On this channel we

deal with all things gardening, poultry keeping and beekeeping. If it's your

first time here consider hitting that subscribe button and Bell icon to be

notified each time we put up new content just like this. There are many cultivars

of banana and they all have different growing conditions, some are more hardy

like the Musa Basjoo and then others like this Dwarf Cavendish behind me are

not so hardy. Now, I set myself a massive challenge this year, and I wanted to see

whether I could grow an edible fruit on a banana in the UK without any extra

heat. That, is destined to fail. However, we now need to see if we can winterize

this banana because if we can get it through we are in with a chance.

Most of the UK falls into three growing zones which is 7 8 and 9. Now, it's

really important to select the right plant for your growing conditions and

bananas here because we are in zone 8 mostly, around this area, then bananas

don't do well because that means that we have really cold

minus temperatures and frost for long periods at a time. So, with that in mind

selecting the right plant is really important. Now the very hardy Musa Basjoo

would do really well in this climate, because it can get down to minus ten and

it's rare that we go below that for long periods at a time. The hardy Musa Basjoo

is the most cold tolerant banana plant there is. This plant can get down to

minus ten degrees Fahrenheit as long as it's properly mulched. It can also be grown

in all 50 states of the USA and the UK. However, this plant is an ornamental

plant and it although will give you the tropical feel in a garden, it will not

produce edible fruits. This plant can also grow up to five meters tall which

would take it around ten years. So although there are banana plants out

there that can deal with cold climates and the previous is ideal for tropical

gardens and things like that in the UK. If we want edible fruits, then we have to

pick a different cultivar. And I chose the Dwarf Cavendish for this, and a

couple of reasons for that. The first is because the weather in the

UK here we get very mild and short summers, and with that in mind I needed a

plant that had the potential to fruit relatively quickly. But also because we

have really cold winters I needed a plant I could grow inside, to

protect it from the worst of the weather. So these plants are quite fussy when it

comes to their care, and although the leaves are large and grow relatively

quickly, they are very weak and susceptible to frost damage. As you can

see we had a frost last night and it's gone. All the leaves are dead,

including a brand new when that's coming through up here.

I wouldn't even suggest trying to keep this in a cold room, through the winter

because you will find that you will wake up one morning to a mushy mess. But

against all odds I'm going to try and get this through

in a polytunnel, through the winter. And I'm going to show you how I'm going to

attempt that. Now I am pretty much writing the fate off to this plant based

on some ideas and I'm hoping that I can prevent frost from getting to it. I'm

hoping that we can keep this stalk but I can't see it happening. Everything inside

me is screaming dig it up and take it home. But when I set out to get this

plant growing I said that I wanted to see if it's possible to keep it in a poly

tunnel all year round. And that's what we're gonna do. Now I have taken some

small cuttings that were also frost damaged and we took some earlier in the

year as backups and they will be taken home so that we will still have a plan

to replace this one if it does go completely. I'm going to do some extreme

measures here today and try and prevent that from happening though. The first thing I'm

doing here is raising the base. The plant was originally planted on a mound of

soil and I found this year that had to dig out the edges of the soil to stop

the water from overflowing during watering.

By raising the sides I can add a layer of organic matter, this will stop the

overflowing and will also add additional insulation to the basal plate and roots.

We can now backfill this section being careful not to take the soil level too

high to prevent rotting off. Next we can cut the leaves of the plant and use

these as a mulch on the ground around the base of the plant.

And if you haven't seen how much it has grown over the last few months I will

add a link in the cards and description.

It's such a shame as this plant was looking awesome a few days ago. This will

leave us with just a stem, I would really like to get this through the winter if

possible as it will really give the plant a great start next season. I'm

going to wrap the stem with fleece to start, this will not be tightly wrapped

but will have quite a few layers.

Next a frame is built so that we can wrap the plant in bubble wrap.

And as I wrap the frame I fill it with straw in order to create an insulation

layer. Keep doing this right to the top and seal it off with a cap.

So here we have it folks, the banana is now insulated. Think of it as you going

out in the cold. The more layers of clothes you have on the more warm air is

trapped in between each layer and the warmer you are, and that's exactly the

same thing I've done here. We had that layer of fleece around the actual stalk

itself, then we've got a real big thick layer of hay and straw. And then around

that we have a nice big layer of bubble wrap. Now, the only thing I need to do is

put a topping over the top of bubble wrap and all I'm going to do for that is

just fold up some bubble wrap and stick it on top of all this straw. Hopefully,

that will produce enough warmth within there to protect the stalk itself, but if

it doesn't this should be more than enough insulation to protect the basal

plate and and root system and maybe it can throw a new one next year if it does

rot. So there's just a couple of other things that we might want to consider

here. And the first of those is watering through winter. We don't want to be

watering this through winter. Now that those leaves are died off this plant is

going to go dormant, and if we water that's going to be sat around those root

system and that plant is not going to take it up, and it's going to cause the

root system to rot off. So we're gonna leave it completely dry through the

winter and we'll start watering it again early spring. And another thing that we

may want to consider as well is that we'll want to shade this over if we have

a warm winter's day. Because that's an in a polytunnel is amplified through

all of these plastics and it could heat this area up and if it does that then it

might spurt that plant into growing again, which we want to avoid we want to

keep it dormant. Question of the day. Would you do anything different to what

I have? other than digging it up and taking it home. Put your answers in the

comment section below, so that we can all learn from each other.

I'm Tony O'Neill this is UK Here We Grow and remember

folks you Reap What You Sow. I will see you in the next one. bye, bye.

Is College Worth It In 2018? - The BEST Alternative - Duration: 12:06.

(Is College Worth It 2018?)

If you really sit down and think about it college is in fact an investment

right you're investing a lot of time four to eight years and a lot of money

the average amount of debt students have when they graduate in the u.s. is

currently $32,000 according to the Federal Reserve in the hopes that

getting a college degree will help you secure a good career but what if I told

you that there's actually a career path that is far cheaper and requires much

less time to get into yet pays better provides you with more freedom as an

even higher ceiling for growth and is far more secure I'm talking about

digital marketing and I know I know it sounds kind of boring but it's something

that I'm actually extremely passionate about because it's given me the life of

my dreams and in today's video I'm gonna show you exactly why this field is a

much better alternative than going to college let's start off with what

exactly is digital marketing well it's a huge field that covers just about

everything business-related online this includes things like sending emails

growing a YouTube channel placing ads on Facebook and even selling products on

Amazon but if I were to sum it all up in one sentence digital marketing is the

ability to get people's attention online to get people to stop and listen to you

your business and your message and this is one of the most valuable skills in

the world right now here are some fun facts in 2005 only 16% of the planet had

access to the Internet in 2010 30% and just this year 2018 we passed the 50%

threshold very soon the entire world will be connected by the Internet this

has caused huge changes in the way business is currently being conducted

around the world see in 2014 the total amount of sales for e-commerce which is

the buying and selling of products online was 1.3 trillion dollars this

year the total amount of sales will pass 2.8 trillion the amount of business

being conducted online has more than doubled in just four years

every business owner that has any common sense now realizes that there is an

opportunity of a lifetime instead of having to rely on foot traffic and

word-of-mouth to make sales you can now access the hundreds of millions of

people around the world who use the Internet every single day

and their next thought is well damn I need to find myself a good digital

marketer someone who knows a thing or two about the Internet someone who can

help me build my business online and it's this realization that is causing

digital marketing to become one of the most

in demand jobs right now in the entire world here's some proof to show you just

how easy it is to find a job as a digital marketer here's a screenshot I

took last year from LinkedIn there were about 18,000 positions open in the US

alone here's a screenshot I took yesterday

with the exact same search query on LinkedIn that the manage for digital

marketers has tripled in just a year and the reason this is happening is because

literally every single business on this planet that's hundreds of millions of

businesses are starting to realize that they need a digital marketer if they

want to stay relevant this means that unlike the forty percent of recent

college graduates who are currently under employed which means they are

working in jobs that don't even require college degrees if you study digital

marketing and gain just a little bit of experience you will have almost no

trouble finding a job this is because companies are having an extremely hard

time finding people who have even an ounce of experience in this field let me

explain why see the thing about digital marketing is that it's not something you

can learn in school you've seen it yourself the internet under goals pretty

significant changes every couple of years

this means colleges are having an extremely hard time catching up if you

look at most college courses nowadays that quote-unquote specialize on the

internet most of them are still focusing on things like building websites which

don't get me wrong was extremely important ten years ago but you're not

teaching you anything about YouTube or Facebook or Amazon which is what's most

important right now this means that companies are forced to

look for just experience when hiring digital marketers which means it's

entirely possible for an 18 year old to get a digital marketing job in fact

here's one of our students Sean who managed to land not one but two digital

marketing jobs making $60,000 at the age of just 18 years old

isn't that crazy that's basically how much people are making right now out of

college and I'm gonna show you exactly how you can do just that

but before I do that let's talk about something that's on everyone's mind

which is just how much money can you make working in this field now there are

three possible paths you can go down if you choose to become a digital marketer

let's start off with the easiest path which is to gain just enough experience

to get hired for an entry-level position and this is fairly easy to do there are

a ton of free resources online that cover the basics of digital marketing

but I'd actually recommend you to check out

of video training series that my good friend Saif and I put together for you

which I will link to in the description box below over there he goes into detail

about the basics of digital marketing what companies are looking for when

they're hiring and also step by step what you need to do in order to land a

digital marketing job in just a couple of months that's right we've had a ton

of people go through the program who landed a job in just a couple of months

like for example ash who was a high school dropout took our course and

landed a job in just five months or Shin who was a college dropout she managed to

land a job in just two months her husband went through the course along

with her and also landed a job in digital marketing

soon after now the average pay for an entry-level digital marketing job like

this is currently anywhere from thirty five to fifty thousand dollars which

isn't crazy high but keep in mind that you don't need to invest four years of

your life getting a college degree to land this sort of job on top of that

there's actually a huge potential for growth Seth went from getting paid a

$40,000 salary to getting paid over $100,000 in just three years

what justified this huge pay raise well if you're doing everything correctly you

will start providing results for the company that you're working for which

means that over time you become more and more valuable for them because you're

the one that's responsible for all of their growth online you're the one

that's making them more money which means they're gonna do everything in

their power to keep you around you can easily use this as leverage to get

raises all you have to do is say hey I'm making you more money so I deserve to

get paid more now in addition to this insane room for growth another benefit

is that you can ask for remote work which is the ability to work from home

or while you travel see most digital marketing work can be

done with just a computer and an internet connection so it's very easy to

ask your employer for remote work it benefits them because it saves the money

and office space and it benefits you because it allows you to work from

wherever you want you could stay at home in your underwear or travel the world

and work at the same time if you've so pleased now working for someone else is

the conventional route this is something that's perfect for any of you who enjoy

making good money and having little responsibilities of your own but if

you're someone who's a bit more ambitious and would like to make a lot

more money or be their own boss let me paint you a picture of what's possible a

couple of years down the line if you choose to get into digital marketing the

second path you can go down is to create what's called a digital marketing agency

like my friend Anthony who recently reached out to me about how he's been

able to replace his full-time income with the money he's now making from

running an agency now let me explain how this works see once you gain the

experience and a good track record working with other companies as a

digital marketer you could easily go up to other businesses and say hey I

managed all of the digital marketing for Bob's mattress store for half a year I

helped them grow their online presence and their overall sales went up by 25% I

can do the same thing for you all you have to do is pay me X amount of money

every single month and I'll handle all of it for you to give you an idea about

just how powerful this is a friend of mine actually runs an agency just like

this he manages and creates Facebook content for businesses in his area at

the rate of $2,000 per month right now he has contracts with 12 companies so if

you do the math that's about $24,000 per month which comes out to almost $300,000

a year imagine how much money you can make running an agency like this if

you're managing 25 or even 50 companies all paying you $2,000 every single month

you could become a millionaire if you so wished that's the power of running a

digital marketing agency and finally let's talk about the last path that you

can go down if you choose to become a digital marketer it's the path that I'm

currently on right now which is to have the business of your dreams to create a

business around whatever it is that you're interested in and make it succeed

by applying what you've learned over the years doing digital marketing for other

companies my business which includes multiple streams of income coaching over

the phone consulting for companies affiliate commissions and getting paid

for sponsorships are all possible because of my ability to get people's

attention on YouTube which is a digital marketing skill when I decided to start

a YouTube business I didn't just wing it I actually had a clear plan in mind a

plan that I knew had a very high chance of succeeding because I already had

close to two years of experience doing digital marketing on other platforms

Amazon and Google I spent about a year building websites on Google and another

year selling Kindle books on Amazon and when I saw an opportunity to create a

business on YouTube I took everything I had learned all the strategies that

worked for me all the mistakes that I made over the two years and I applied it

to the channel I stuck to my strategy and the results are what you see today

this was possible because the amazing thing about digital marketing is that

although every platform is a bit different right YouTube is very

different than safe but there are certain strategies certain

techniques that are universal to everything online a video that does

really well on YouTube is probably gonna do very well on Facebook this third path

is the path that I've chosen because it's given me complete freedom and

control over my life I don't have any bosses that I have to listen to if one

of my sponsors or clients is giving me trouble I simply tell them that I'm no

longer interested in working with them all of the work is work that I'm

actually genuinely interested in helping people improve their lives has always

been a passion of mine and on top of all of that I make enough money to travel

the world work whenever I want and basically do whatever I feel like doing

and it's all because I decided to learn more about digital marketing five years

ago all right so at this point you're probably thinking improvement pill I'm

interested but how exactly does one gain experience as a digital marketer well

there are two ways you could go about it the first is via trial and error which

is basically what I did I'm not gonna lie I was pretty cocky when I first got

started I attempted to build my online business without any experience

whatsoever and because of that I ended up wasting thousands of dollars creating

websites buying ads and buying software without any sort of success the only

reason I was able to eventually find success was because I got myself a

mentor someone who is already an expert at digital marketing on Amazon Kindle

who taught me everything I needed to know and even then once I knew what I

had to do I still had to spend thousands of dollars creating the books and

getting them ranked on Amazon I would only recommend you to go down this path

if you're someone who has a lot of money to burn and even then I feel like the

alternative is less risky and has the potential to get you better results the

alternative is to gain the bare minimum amount of experience needed to get hired

as an entry-level digital marketer which again can be done extremely easily by

going through Steph's course which I will link to in the description box

below and to use your employer's money to gain experience see when you get

hired as a digital marketer your boss is gonna give you a portion of their

marketing budget to play around with this is actually expected in the

industry your boss gives you a little bit of money to see how well you do

before handing their entire budget over to you it's actually expected of you to

show up to make mistakes and to gradually learn and improve over time

and over time you're gonna figure out what works and what doesn't you're gonna

start producing better results for them which means a pay raise for you but more

importantly a larger budget for you to play with because they have more faith

in your skills and over the course of many months

or years you're gonna get comfortable enough with your digital marketing

skills to go down whatever path you so choose you could apply it to other

companies as an expert digital marketer and make six figures that way you can

start your own digital marketing agency and make millions of dollars if you put

in the work or you can even start your own business something that you're

passionate about and live life however you please

getting hired and using someone else's budget to learn digital marketing is a

risk-free way of gaining experience think of it as an internship that pays

decently well with a lot of benefits and the potential to have an amazing

kick-ass career down the line I hope you learned a lot from this video again I

highly suggest you check out Seth's course which I will link to in the

description box below it starts off with a four-part video series that is

completely free so there's no harm in checking it out and out of all of the

programs that I've ever recommended on this channel his is actually the one

with the highest rate of success here are just some of the thank-you messages

we've received from his past students besides that guys I wish you the best of

luck and stay tuned

Local VS National SEO - What Is The Difference? | HiiQ - SEO - Ep. 8 - Duration: 2:47.

Hii everybody, I'm Peter vigilante and welcome back to another episode of HiiQ-SEO. Today

we'll be discussing the differences between local and national SEO. These tactics come from the highly respected SEO professional Neil Patel.

By the end of this video you should have a good understanding of the differences between which strategy you would utilize. At Hiilite

understanding our clients target audience is imperative in developing an ongoing SEO strategy.

We utilize something called CORE marketing sessions to fully understand our clients target audience in

addition to determining their brand voice and communication styles.

We can't overlook the importance of situating their business properly online for clients with a physical location

the communications and messaging is primarily directed to their locale. For an SEO specialist

this means that we will likely be focusing more

so on local SEO, meaning ensuring they rank

particularly

well for search engines within their geographic region. Those that can provide products and

services online or beyond their geographic region

we conduct a national SEO campaign. But first local SEO: here

we suggest incorporating your geographic region in your on and off page SEO

strategy combined with keywords that imply intent. For example

if we are a dentist in Kelowna

our keyword used may be 'family dentist in Kelowna', additionally because we also service people in the surrounding areas

we might build our location pages for every area that we want to target customers from. I.e.

'cosmetic dentistry services in West Kelowna peach land lake country, etc'.

Another aspect that we like to do for our local SEO clients is to ensure that they are submitted to all the appropriate

local directories, receive and maintain these profiles and

respond to reviews in a timely fashion as this has shown to impact search engine performance.

Now National SEO.

National SEO on the other hand ignores the need to include the city name in its SEO campaign strategy.

Because these clients aren't bound by geographic location

competition here can be fierce for some keywords. Here keyword research and additional on off page

SEO strategies are incredibly important.

Because national SEO is typically more complex. We suggest you consult an SEO agency or consultant.

Inside The Mind: How Social Media Is Ruining Our Memory - Duration: 3:02.

We live in a world where millions of people document and share their experiences online.

Their lives are published on social media for friends and family to see.

But new research suggests that using social media to record our experiences could be harming

our ability to remember the very events we are attempting to preserve.

A recent series of studies led by Diana Tamir of Princeton University looked at how taking

photos and videos for social media affects people's memory of those experiences.

We were interested in how our phones affect our experiences.

People were walking around all the time looking at their phones taking pictures of things

posting on social media.

And so what we did was we had people use their phones while they engage in experience and

measured how much they remembered about the experience.

And what we found was that people who were taking pictures and who were posting on social media

about their experience remembered the experience less so they couldn't remember

details about the experience they couldn't recall or answer questions about things that

they should have learned during the experience.

One of the reasons behind this is the idea of transactive memory - where one person does

not try and retain certain memories because they know they will be remembered by someone else.

This idea of 'shared knowledge' is usually applied to family and friends, but may also

apply to how we treat social media as well.

What media allows us to do is kind of offload even other types of information so we can

offload our memories onto photographs.

We don't have to retain all the details of an experience while we are experiencing it.

If we have a photo to kind of hold on to that memory for us

The Internet allows us to do this so I don't need to know you know anything that's on Google

so long as I have Google.

And people do this.

They rely on external devices whether or not it's the internet or their phone or their

friends in order to hold onto memories for them so that they don't have to retain them

in their own mind.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to offload your memories.

But it's a problem when you have to rely on those things when you don't have those things

in your memory instead

Studies can show us the effects of social media on our short-term memory, but as it

is a relatively recent phenomenon, there is a lot we still don't know about how using

social media in our day to day lives will affect our memory years from now.

We don't know the longevity of the effect. We don't know how it affects different

pieces of the memory.

I think there's a ton more research to be done to really pin down how these devices

in our pocket are impacting our experiences.
