All right, so in this video, I'm gonna summarise some of the insights from this book, The Millionaire Fastlane. I thought that this was gonna be really bad when a friend recommended it to me. And then this friend said, "No, trust me. Ignore the click-baity title, The Millionaire Fastlane, and read the book because it's genuinely really good. And it is genuinely really good. This is probably the single best book I have ever read on how to build a business that makes money. And so in this episode of Book Club, which is the series where we distil and discuss highlights from some of my favourite books, we're gonna be breaking down five key lessons from the book. And also, the five commandments of building a business that MJ DeMarco talks about. How to get rich quick.
Now, the first important lesson in the book is that we want to avoid the slow lane. And the point that our friend, MJ, makes in the book, is that "get rich quick" is often seen as, like, a scammy thing. Oh, it's a get-rich-quick scheme. But actually, it's not get-rich-quick that's a problem, it is get-rich-easy. Like it is very possible to get rich quick, and that is why we're talking about The Millionaire Fastlane. It's very possible to get rich quick, but it's not at all possible to get rich easy. And so, if someone is trying to sell you that it is easy to get rich, that is a scam and you should avoid it. And one of the interesting things that he talks about in the book is the idea that there are three paths through life. There's path number one, which is the sidewalk. This path to the slow lane, and path number three, the fast lane.
The sidewalk is basically where people who are living paycheck to paycheck live, people who don't have a lot of money. I'm not gonna talk about it too much. It's a bit disparaging.
It's very American style. Sort of very brash way of describing it that he does. Like, you know, "If you're living on the sidewalk, then you're living paycheck to paycheck." And like, "Your life is screwed because you believe that the government is screwing you over," all that kind of stuff. We're not gonna talk about that too much. There are a few bits like that in the book where you have to kind of read or listen to it with a little pinch of salt.
But I think the second path through life, the slow lane, is interesting. Because if you follow the slow lane, you can still get rich. And the slow lane is generally, if you're watching this, probably your parents' generation stood by the slow lane.  You get good grades. You get a decent job.   You put that into investments, maybe in the stock market, if you're particularly rogue.
But probably, you know, you should invest in property and real estate because property is a good investment.  And you can enjoy your retirement at the age of 65 when you have osteoarthritis in both of your knees. That is, basically, the idea of the slow lane.
And he talks about how there are three traps that we can fall into, which will end up keeping us on the slow lane. The first trap is that life in the slow lane looks like it's pretty safe. You can think that, "Okay, once I get this job, then my life is pretty safe and I'm pretty sorted." But if the pandemic has taught us anything, and if, you know, the way the world is at the moment, A: it's actually not that safe. You actually could lose your job.
If you're, fine, if you're a doctor or something like that, where you're unlikely to lose your job, that's still pretty safe. But even so, what he says is that there are a tonne of other unexpected events that happen in life. Like if there's a market crash like there was in 2008, or if you have kids, Or if you get divorced.
There are all of these fairly common, unexpected events that can happen in life that make life in the slow lane not actually as safe an option as it might've been for our parents' generation.
The second trap that Slow Laners can fall into is this idea that if we build our intrinsic market value enough, then we will get rich. So, for example, these are the people who think, "Okay, I've worked my job for two years. Now I'm gonna go and get an MBA and pay like however many tens of thousands of dollars to get an MBA. Because then once I have that degree, then I will be worth more to my future employer."
But the problem with that style of thinking is that it's not really the fast lane approach to building wealth. It is still, ultimately, trading your time for money. And yes, fine. If you get you that extra degree, if you get that extra qualification, your time will be worth more. A little bit more, maybe even significantly more, but ultimately, you're still just trading your time for money. And that is a very slow-laney way to approach building wealth.
And the third trap that Slow Laners can fall into is just not even believing it's possible to get rich quick, unless you're super lucky or super talented. But, as MJ says, even if you can't get rich easy, which is not a thing, you can get rich relatively quick, if quick is 10 years.
10 years is the definition of quick, which to be honest, it's pretty quick. But a lot of us, when we think "get rich quick", we're thinking a few weeks. That is not a thing. What he's arguing for is a process that will take probably around 10 years to get rich quick. And that is actually quick, in his book.
And that brings us on to lesson number two, which is to work the process. Now in the book, he talks a lot about how wealth is not an event. Like, getting rich is not this sort of binary thing where one day you're living paycheck to paycheck and the next day suddenly you've got millions in the bank. It is a longer drawn-out process that takes usually many years to do. But the problem is that the media often reports wealth as being an event, and those are the stories we latch on to. One of the stories he talks about is this guy, John Darius Bikoff, who founded Glaceau Vitamin Water in 1996. 11 years later he sold the company to Coca-Cola for $4.1 billion. And in that 11 year long story, the thing that people remember is the event. But what they forget is the process of 11 years that took so long to get to that point. Therefore, wealth building is not an event, it's a process. And it's exactly the same thing with building a creative business, building a YouTube channel. You know, it's easy to see creators and their overnight successes, and all that jazz. But you don't see the five years they spent making videos that no one was watching to get to the point where they could then have the "event" of the overnight success.
All right, so lesson number three is to build money trees. Now we've all heard that phrase that money doesn't grow on trees. But what he says in the book is "Money does actually grow on trees, provided you build a tree that grows money." So what does this mean? He says in the book that, "Money trees are business systems that survive on their own. They require periodic support and nurturing, but they survive on their own, creating a surrogate for your time for money trade." Basically what we're doing is we're building a business. We're building this money tree where the amount of wealth we can generate is not directly tied to the amount of time that we're putting into it. This brings us onto the next question, which is how do we actually build a money tree? And he talks about, there's like four or five different types of money trees that we could potentially build. The first one is that we could build a rental system. And a rental system is basically anything that involves renting out something that you already own.  The problem is it's very hard to get to the point where you have a bunch of properties to rent out, 'cause you're already probably rich at that point. The other way of building a rental system is by licencing.   Secondly, what you could do is you could build a distribution system. Now this is basically a system that connects people who want something with the people who are supplying that thing. So for example, Amazon is a distribution system. It connects buyers with sellers and Amazon is the middleman. And therefore, if you build the middleman, if you build a distribution system, you can get really, really, really, really rich. Now interestingly, one really great distribution system is a company like AppSumo, who are completely coincidentally sponsoring this video. AppSumo is run by my friend, Noah Kagan. It's ridiculously great company, and what they do is that they give you the best deals in software. Their model connects people who want software, people like me and you probably. If you're watching this, you're interested in software just as much as I am with the people that want to sell software that have software that they want to sell. And they give you that software in a way that's either free or just, like, amazingly well-priced. Every week, there's new deals added to the website. And it's not just software, it's also online courses, It's also education. And so if you want to learn anything in this how-to-build-a-business sphere, AppSumo probably has it covered. And the whole vibe of AppSumo is that it's very like indie hackers, start-upy kind of vibes. They do have a couple of tools that are suited for enterprises. Mostly it's aimed at individuals and small businesses, which is probably the type of business you want to make if you want to get rich quick using The Millionaire Fastlane. And I'm even recording this to you from the future to tell you all about their Black Friday giveaway. So last year on Black Friday, they gave away a Tesla, which was pretty cool. But this year, they're giving away a million dollars worth of stuff to entrepreneurs, not who buy their product, but who list their own product on the AppSumo marketplace. So if you have a product that you want to sell on the AppSumo marketplace and you list it somewhere between now and November 17th, 2021, then the first 400 people, just to list a product, will get $1,000 of free money from the AppSumo team. And the next 2,000 people to list a product are gonna get $250 completely for free. You don't even have to make any sales of your product. You will just get that free money in return for just listing your product on the marketplace. That's pretty cool. And then everyone who enters of those 10 people will be lucky dipped to get $10,000, which is also pretty sick. So if you've got any kind of digital product and you want to stick it on AppSumo, you can check out the marketplace to see what things you want to buy because they're all discounted. But you can also sell your thing on AppSumo and it's pretty easy.  So again, if you list your product on AppSumo marketplace up until November the 17th, 2021, then you can grab your share of the $1 million giveaway fund. And you might be one of 10 people lucky enough to win a check for $10,000. If that's up on your street, hit the link in the video description, you can check out all the products. And you can potentially sell your own things. So thank you, AppSumo, for sponsoring this video. All right, thirdly, when it comes to building a money tree, we have a software system, But it is five o'clock and I have a Zoom call to attend. So I will be right back. (claps hands) All right, we're back. We've got a slight change to the lighting, but the third type of system that you can make to make this money tree. I'm so glad. I'm so glad that worked. I really hope this is gonna work in the edit. Anyway, the third type of money tree we want to create is a software system. Now, that's pretty standard. You make the software once and then you can charge people for the software or for the digital product. And then you can make money multiple times because the cost of distribution and the cost of replication is effectively zero. I've made a bunch of software products in my time when I was in med school. I built something called BMAT and UCAT Ninja, which was like a software platform that helped people get into med school by helping them prepare for the med school admissions exams. One of my YouTuber friends, Oliur, managed to make $9,000 in a single week by selling icons that he designed. So that's a digital asset. He puts the work into creating it once and it's sort of like a software system whereby other people can just buy the thing because it is, ultimately, software. And the fourth system that our friend, MJ, talks about is my favourite kind. And that is the content money tree, the content system, where basically the idea is you create content. So if you write a book, or make a YouTube video, or write a blog post, or make an online course that you can sell, ultimately, this is all content. It takes an investment of time and effort to write the book or create the content once. But then you can sell it to multiple people further down the line. And similar to the digital stuff, it has basically zero cost of replication and distribution, assuming it's on the internet. And if it's a book, well then, there are some costs associated with it. But it's still broadly a way of making money that's not tied to your own time. For example, like two years ago now, a year ago, or something, I made a Skillshare class about how to study for exams. And that class brings in about $10,000 every single month in pure passive income. And I don't do it- I basically do nothing to promote it. By the way, if you have exams coming up, check out my Skillshare class. It'll be linked for free in the video description if you want to check it out. But it's amazing how you can just do the work to make something once. Although, in fairness, I was creating study-themed content on YouTube for two years before I made that class. So again, it wasn't a get-rich-quick scheme. It wasn't a get-rich-easy scheme. But it was like a money tree that built up over time and has now helped pay the mortgage on my house. So we've talked about the four different types of money tree, but what MJ says in the book is that, and what's obviously true, is that it's not that easy to build one of these. You don't just magically have the ability to do that.
And one of the ways that you can is lesson number four, which is switch from being a consumer to being a producer. Now from a young age, society broadly teaches us that we should be consumers. And we should be thinking about what to buy, you know? Our parents are like, "Johnny, what do you want for your birthday?"  It's all very much based on being a consumer. But, as MJ tells us in the book, this consumer mindset is never gonna help us to actually build wealth. Instead, we need to think to a producer mindset. And this genuinely changes the way that you approach the world. Like if you think in the eyes of a consumer and you see some cool- I was in the Samsung store earlier today. It's fairly close to where I live. It's really cool. I'm thinking as a consumer like, "Bloody hell, there's all these phones and watches and gadgets and fridges and microwaves and all this cool stuff. And the store is really nice. And I want a fancy new sofa because that's a fancy new sofa. But if you have more of a producer mindset, then you start thinking you could- you kind of ignore the fact that there's all this stuff out there you can buy. Instead, you start thinking, "Oh, this is an interesting marketing play that they're doing." "I wonder how much it costs to put the store together?" "Oh, I wonder if I could make a video where I switched from iPhone to Samsung because there's so many Samsung phones here? So I can make a video where I talk about it and switch. And then teach people what it's like to switch from an iPhone to an Android", and all that kind of jazz. And so the way I'm thinking there is, hopefully, as a producer, rather than a consumer. And if you want a practical tip for how this works, I think, really, the key is to just think about what's going on on the business side of stuff when you are out and about. For example, next time you're in McDonald's, instead of thinking how tasty your Filet-O-Fish burger is, think, "Huh, I wonder how it is that McDonald's created a system whereby every single fish burger in every single McDonald's basically tastes the same?" "How do they do that?" That's pretty incredible. And then you can read a book like "The E-Myth Revisited", which is, again, one of my favourite business books of all time that talks about exactly how McDonald's built this sort of franchise system.
And lesson number five, show commitment, don't just show interest. And this is a message that MJ talks about throughout the book. Basically, there's a difference between interest and commitment. And if you want to get rich quick, but not easy. If you wanna get rich quick, you have to do things that other people are not willing to do or not able to do. And usually, that shows commitment rather than just interest. And there's a nice quote from the book where he says that, "Interest works in your business one hour a day, Monday through Friday. Commitment works in your business seven days a week, whenever time permits." Now, when I was first growing this YouTube channel and the personal brand and the business and everything, I would spend basically every waking moment where I wasn't at work or at university or in lectures and stuff, thinking and planning videos. And planning content and figuring out the business strategy and doing a lot of stuff. And yes, someone might look at that and think, "Oh my god, toxic productivity, hustle culture," and all that jazz. But you don't get to a point where you build a successful business or a successful YouTube channel, all this kind of stuff, you don't get to that point without putting in the hard, hard work. And my point is that the hard work does not have to be suffering. It's hard, but it doesn't have to be painful. It can be fun. And I find ways to make it fun. And that's the subject of the book that I'm writing, how to make things fun. But it does take work and it is hard. It's not an easy process. And I think a lot of the kind of anti-productivity, toxic hustle-culture kind of zealots, are sort of campaigning for an easy, chilled-out life. And that's totally fine.  But, what MJ says and what these sorts of people were like, you know, if you care about building wealth in a short amount of time, you can't take the easy route and have a chilled-out life. You do have to start being committed to the stuff that you're doing, rather than just interested in it. And there's so many people I know who've started YouTube channels or businesses that are like, "Oh, you know, I just want to do it for half an hour a day." Okay, that's fine. You can do it for half an hour a day as a hobby. But if you just do it for half an hour a day, you are very unlikely to be successful. Which, I mean, in fairness, it kind of depends on what your goals are. If you don't wanna become a millionaire through this business, whatever. That's totally fine, be chilled out about it. But if you do, if you want to follow The Millionaire Fastlane approach, you have to be committed, rather than just interested. Okay. So we've talked about five of the different lessons. And in fact, like there's tonnes of– this is a very, very dense book. It looks- I actually read this on- listened to this on Audible, so I didn't know how dense it was. But actually, it reads more like a sort of textbook, rather than a storybook, which is kind of nice. Like it's really, really good, would recommend. Amazon link in the video description. But so, we talked about five of the key lessons that I learned from this. There's so many more, but I want to talk about his five commandments for building a business now. And his overall point on the book is that if you want to be on the Millionaire Fastlane, you have to follow all five of these commandments. You don't have to follow all five, like dropping one or two could still make you rich, but it's just so much more likely for you to become a millionaire quickly i.e. in under 10 years, which is isn't that quick. But quickly, if you follow all five of these commandments.
The first one is the Commandment of Need. And he says that 90% of businesses fail within the first five years because they don't satisfy the Commandment of Need. And the Commandment of Need is that people actually need the thing that you are offering. We have to create a business that provides value or solves people's needs or wants in some way. And if we're not, it's really, really hard to build a business based on something that tries to solve a problem that people don't actually have.
Secondly, we have the Commandment of Entry. And the idea here is that you ideally want to build a business in a zone where the barrier for entry is high rather than low. And the reason you want this is because a high barrier to entry means that it's very difficult for someone else to copy your business. For example, if you or me decided we wanted to start the next Amazon, that's really fricking hard. There is a very high barrier to entry to starting the next Amazon. But if there's a business that looks easy to other people to start, and there is a low barrier to entry, for example, starting a YouTube channel where the barrier to entry is low. Or starting a podcast where it's even lower. Or starting a blog where it's even lower than that. Or starting a TikTok with even lower than that. The lower the barriers to entry, the more competitive the landscape becomes. And actually, one of the nice things I like about YouTube is that in this creative sphere, YouTube is still the thing that has the highest barrier to entry. There is now, like every year, the bar for production value and quality and all this stuff rises. And so, for a newcomer to get into the YouTube sphere, they kind of need to have decent gear and decent equipment. It's like, "oh, and this takes us into a whole lot controversial territory", which I talk a lot about in my course, the Part-Time YouTuber Academy. So I'm not gonna go into it here, but basically, I like YouTube because it has a higher barrier to entry than starting a TikTok or starting an Instagram page, for example.
The third one is the Commandment of Control. And that's the idea that at every step of the process, we want to be in control of the thing that we're trying to sell. And if we don't control things, like the price or the way it's managed or the way that it's being sold, then it's hard to build a business on that. This is partly why building a business of just a YouTube channel is very scary because it does not fulfil the Commandment of Control because ultimately, my business lives and dies by this YouTube channel. That's really scary. That's really bad. I am not fulfilling the Commandment of Control in this business that I've got around the YouTube channel. And that's why when I make courses like my Part-Time YouTuber Academy, I try and fulfil the Commandment of Control by being in control of as much of that process as possible. This is also why MLM multi-level marketing schemes don't work because if you're selling someone else's product, who's also trying to get you to sell someone else's product, you ultimately don't really have the control over that process. And therefore, if stuff goes wrong or stuff is bad, you personally can't really influence it. And that's a very scary way to build a business.
Commandment number four is the Commandment of Scale. And that's the idea that ideally, if you want to grow rich quick, the idea is you want to build a business that has the potential to scale up. For example, starting a barber shop and cutting people's hair for £10 a pop is not a business that has very much potential to scale, unless you try and build up more and more and more barbershops and a chain of barbershops. But then, that costs loads of money. Whereas a software business or a content business really does have the potential to scale. So ideally, you to build a business that satisfies the commandment scale. And there's another thing that he talks about in the book that we haven't talked about in this video, which is the Law of Effection. Basically, the law is that to make millions, you have to impact millions. (chuckles) And it's pretty simple. Like if you want to make millions off a YouTube channel, you have to be impacting millions of people. If you want to make millions off a business, you have to be impacting millions of people or impacting fewer people, but with a very large amount of impact. And so the Commandment of Scale kind of relates to that. You can't get rich quick off of selling lemonade in your local neighbourhood. You have to build a business that has the potential, at least, for scale.
And finally, we have the Commandment of Time, that the idea here, as we talked about before, is that you want to build a business where the value of the business is disconnected from your personal time input. If you have to show up every single day, nine to five or whatever many hours to make your money, then that's not really true wealth. And that is actually one of the problems with this YouTube business. As great as the content business in, I have to keep showing up time and time again, to record videos like this one. It's kind of fun. I'm having a great time. And I would like to build a sort of business in the future. One where I really don't have to show up at all to continue to do the work. This is why writing a book is great because once you've written the book, people just buy it, assuming it's marketed well. And assuming it's a good book, of course, all that fun stuff. So that was a very, very long summary of some of the lessons in this enormous really, really good book, The Millionaire Fastlane, would recommend. If you're interested in more ideas on how to be able to make money, how to build passive income, check out this video over here, which is nine passive income ideas. And it talks about how at the time, I was making $27,000 a week from these passive income sources. Thank you so much for watching. Do hit the subscribe button, if you aren't already.

--- layout: post title: Some thoughts on "organizational neutral" ---
Recently I had a shower-thought about the concept of "organizational neutral". "Organizational neutral" in my mind can be contrast with "Organizational fifth gear". You know you're in fifth gear when people are trying to pour gas on whatever thing you're working on. Users are flooding you with feature requests, your part of the org is getting as much headcount as you want, and people are generally very excited about what you have going on. The problem when you're in "fifth gear" is that you need to pick a generally correct set of things to work on and make sure that people are not stepping on each other's toes too much (there's probably a separate version of this for hypergrowth, where you just point a mass of people in the generally right direction and pray).
The other opposite to "organizational neutral" is "stopped" or even "reverse". This is what happens when you keep suggesting ideas and people go off and do the opposite. Your manager starts having very direct conversations with you saying "don't do that" and you aren't getting any traction. When you're in "stopped", the key is to recognize the signs, stop what you're doing, and re-orient to figure out how to do more correct things.
Organizational neutral is neither of these. It's a no-mans-land between "let's double down" and "stop doing what you're doing". No one is telling you to stop, and you're occasionally getting positive signals, but people aren't banging on your door to buy whatever it is you're selling. Getting out of neutral is hard, because there's friction in almost any direction. You need to apply focused energy to get out of neutral, but it's unclear where to apply that energy. You don't have anyone in the organization telling you where to go, and it feels like making anything real happen requires much more energy or staffing than you have available. These are often problems shaped like "cultural change", which can't happen just by flipping a switch in code.
I think the key to us getting out of neutral is to very publicly do cheap things that didn't require any additional permission. Some things that don't require anyone's permission include:
By contrast, things that do require permission include:
The name of the game is been to do things that don't require anyone's permission, show that they matter to decision makers, and then gain permission to make larger changes based on our successes. The other key part has been doing all of this very publicly. When you're trying to get out of neutral, one of the biggest challenges is to get other people to care. Taking an effort from 1 → 2 people gives you WAY MORE than a factor or 2 speed up, or at least it feels like it does. Being incredibly public with the work that we're doing + how to find us increases your luck surface area; it doesn't guarantee that you'll happen to stumble across a partner-in-crime, but it certainly makes it much more possible.
So, how do you get out of "organizational neutral". Place lots of very public small bets by doing things that don't require any permission. See where you get positive feedback and double-down on those areas to recruit allies.


Bevan try snatches last-gasp victory for Wales over Ireland
by By Online EditorsKeira Bevan’s last-gasp try gave Wales a 15-13 victory at the UCD Bowl and denied Ireland a maiden November Test victory.
Adam Griggs’ side were on the cusp of a winning start to their international season when Ellen Murphy kicked a penalty with six minutes remaining to put here side 13-10 up.
Ireland had created some daylight through tries from Linda Djougang and Enya Breen, before Wales responded with 10 unanswered points.
The hosts still looked like they would hold on for just their second success of 2019, until replacement scrum-half Bevan went over to seal a narrow win for Wales.
In a country where rugby is king, high schools are breeding grounds for future rugby talent that the sporting world acknowledges to be the most plentiful on the planet.

We probably differ on more points that we agree when it comes to details but I generally agree with his intent. Heck he even declares that you should take him with a grain of salt - tongue-in-cheek kind of way. All that aside, I do run across a post of his while googling something that crosses my mind now and again. Today I was looking for something or another and happend across a post of his from earlier this week. I forget what the post was about but there was something in there about the price of old film gear going up and up and up. He makes some pretty wild claims in the post and I wouldn't bet on some of his actual numbers quoted nor agree that it is a fantastic idea to pay a premium price for a NIB Canon A1. There is one thing that I can confirm myself - that is that some film gear is going up. At least the stuff that I sorta track with in a non-clinical way. I am not talking about investment grade collector's cameras, or Leicas, Hasselblads. I am talking about some fairly common, used 35mm gear. It may be a fluke but Nikon FE2's seem to be fetching more than they were even a month ago, way more than they were a year ago. FM2's seem to always bring more than FE2's and still do but you would see a lot of FE2's in fantastic shape go for about a hundred bucks. Not so much anymore. Nikon manual focus glass has shot through the roof in the last year and some of the prices I am seeing this month for stuff like the 28 f2 and 35mm f2, etc are twice what they were last year. I honestly wonder if this is a fluke or there are actually more people getting into 35mm film? You can get some really great deals but even I am finding it harder to buy at the prices I was seeing last year. Seems like you have to take more of a chance on "iffy" descriptions or the seller doing a really bad job of describing the item. Here are a few of the deals I would have bought myself today but I got distracted on a phone call and blew it:

Why the Anti-Capitalists Are Dead Wrong | Breitbart
The following article is sponsored by Oxford Club.
by Alexander Green for Oxford Club (Sponsored)- Anti-capitalists argue that current economic inequality shows that capitalism is “broken.” But this is a gross mischaracterization.
- As Alexander Green explains, no system provides more opportunities to build wealth and achieve success.
- How to claim a hardcover of The United States of Trump, FREE!
In his excellent new book The United States of Trump, my friend Bill O’Reilly explains why the president refuses to admit it when he’s wrong.
The short answer is he views it as a sign of weakness.
In any event, I don’t have that luxury. I pick stocks for a living.
When a recommendation goes south – as one will from time to time – it’s like backing over your neighbor’s mailbox while he’s standing in the driveway.
It isn’t hard to determine who’s responsible.
However, some business leaders today have the opposite problem.
They are trying to create goodwill by apologizing for things they didn’t do wrong. Like generating profits for shareholders.
A while back, the Business Roundtable – a group made up of the CEOs of 192 of the largest U.S. companies – made a strategic blunder when it issued this statement:
Americans deserve an economy that allows each person to succeed through hard work and creativity and to lead a life of meaning and dignity… We commit to deliver value to all of them, for the future success of our companies, our communities and our country.
We already have a system that allows everyone to succeed, provided they work, save and invest. And the economy is hardly broken (>>PROOF HERE<<).
Unemployment is at a historic low. Household income is at a record high. So is household net worth.
This is the continuation of a long-term trend. American prosperity has been on the rise for well over a century.
No one talks about “the French dream” or “the Norwegian dream.”
No other country is universally recognized as the land of opportunity. And no country attracts more students, more immigrants, or more foreign investment capital.
American businesses dominate the world.
It’s no coincidence that fantastic innovators like Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, Uber, Airbnb, and countless others were all founded here.
Our business leaders recognize that a company succeeds only if employees, suppliers, and customers are satisfied, not just shareholders.
If you don’t agree, you’ve never run a business.
Undercompensate or disrespect your employees, and they will take their talents elsewhere. Bargain too hard with your suppliers – or pay them late – and they won’t trade with you.
As for customers, if they aren’t delighted – trust me – shareholders won’t be either.
Yet – by acting as if these things weren’t already the case – members of the Business Roundtable created an “aha” moment for socialists and anti-capitalists to proclaim that “even the billionaires” know the free market system needs to be reformed.
(And, indeed, a few actual billionaires, like Marc Benioff and Ray Dalio – who ardently want to sell their new books to the angry mob – may someday look back and wonder just what the heck they were thinking.)
Capitalism is the greatest anti-poverty program of all time – and the greatest creator of prosperity.
Yes, government has a role to play too. Someone has to defend the shores, enforce contracts, and referee the game.
But look around the world. Heavy-handed government does not lead to more prosperity.
Anti-capitalists regularly describe our economic system as one based on greed, selfishness, and exploitation.
That is a laughable mischaracterization.
The free market says you can have anything you want if you provide enough other people with what they want.
That’s how you get rich as a capitalist.
By thinking not about your own wants and needs but about the wants and needs of others – and how to satisfy them better than anyone else.
Companies that understand this – and can deliver on it – are the ones you want to own as an investor.
Which ones are they? Bill O’Reilly and I discussed just that important topic in our recent Great American Wealth Project, already viewed by over 750,000 people.
To discovery why there are a record number of millionaire households in America today…

Eventhough I have finished school, I love to learn. I keep learning new things everyday, and that is what made me passionate about computer sciences. I really enjoy working on challenging IT project and trying to figure out what might be the best solution to a given problem. I do not affiliate my self to a specific programming language, in my opinion the language is just a tool and we have a huge tool-box at our disposal to solve different kind of problems
However I do love using cutting-edge technologies.

Untangling Enterprise Software Development
Information, Discovery, Analysis, and Artificer
Brett Meyer
- Artificer, Project Lead
- Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat
- @brettemeyer
Typical enterprise software development...
The Problem
- Companies, teams, individuals
- Tangled mess of "stuff"
- Information, metadata, and "artifacts"
More Problems
- Re-use and prevent duplicated efforts: hard
- Understand how everything connected, related, dependent: really hard
- Minimal "breaking things" (early detection): extremely hard
Even Worse
- Same problems, but within granular content of artifacts
- Ex: XSD type declaration <-> WSDL message
Oh So Many Problems
- Tends to include a wide variety of bits
- Files, including granular content
- Files, no granular content considered
- Custom metadata for each file
- Logical, metadata-only "artifacts" (information)
Your Frustrations
(Hoping someone actually understands that reference...)
What's Needed?
Discovery & Re-Use
- Has this file/capability/project been created before?
- What pieces could I reuse?
- Who's responsible for this piece?
- How do I even find the pieces when everything is so desperate?
Impact & Dependency Analysis
- Who uses this artifact?
- How does this artifact fit into the larger picture?
- If I change this file, who's affected?
- If I change this specific element in a file, who's affected?
"Bigger Picture" Analysis
- How does this artifact fit into our projects?
- How does this artifact fit into our organization?
Hierarchical Classification
- "Tags", but more to it...
- Hierarchical ontologies
Lifecycle Management
- Thin interfaces only!
- Workflow utility
Auditing
- Show me how this artifact has changed over time
- Show me who all changed this artifact
What has worked for your organizations?
Disclaimer
- No one likes sales pitches...so it won't be.
- General discussion of approaches, using Artificer as an example
- But it is pretty sweet...
- This is a discussion and fact finding mission!
Common Data Model
- Desperate information
- Extremely varied
- Vital: normalizing into common data model
- Abstract and flexible
- Powerful and all-encompassing, OOTB
- Extendible
Common Data Model (cont'd)
- Physical and logical artifacts
- Interconnected (bi-directional)
- Hierarchical
Common Data Model (cont'd)
- "Modeled" metadata: provide the "core" data OOTB
- Auto-detection of artifact types
- Not just MIME!
- "If file 'foo' is present in the archive, it's A. Otherwise, B."
- "If the content includes 'foo', it's A. Otherwise, B."
- Ad-hoc metadata
Common Data Model (cont'd)
- "Primary": main artifact
- "Derived": logical artifacts pulled from primary content (ex: type declarations from XSD)
Derivation
- Auto creates "derived" logical artifacts from the primary
- Examples:
- Type declarations in XSDs
- Messages/ports/endpoints in WSDLs
- Many more...
OOTB Data Types
- Provide "enough" OOTB to be immediately useful
- Examples:
- Basic "document"
- XML
- XSD
- WSDL
- WS-Policy
- Java
- Office
- (Artificer also provides plugins for other types of JBoss projects)
- (Many more planned...)
Logical Data Types (Examples)
- Service information
- Teams
- Metrics
- Policies
- Deployment information
Relationships
- Bi-directional
- Between any artifacts
- Relationship name
- 1..n targets
Relationships (cont'd)
- Maybe the most important piece to get right
- Relationships between both primary and derived
- Support both automatic relationships and ad-hoc
- Auto relationship examples: WSDL imports XSD, WS doc'd by WSDL, etc.
Classifications
- Hierarchical "tags"
- "Hierarchical" == powerful, especially for queries
- Web Ontology Language (OWL)
Query Language
- Encapsulates all areas of metadata
- Can chain 0..n relationship paths
- Full text search
Smart Constraints
- Block certain actions
- Much like SQL FK constraints
- Preventing impacts > impact analysis
Extensibility
- Compile-type contracts
- Artifact "builders": derivation, custom metadata, etc.
- Artifact type detection
- Ad-hoc everything
Interfaces & Integrations
- REST/ATOM
- Web UI
- SDKs
- CLI
- Others: EJB, JMS, etc.
Visualizations
- Really hard
- Useful for impact analysis and dependencies overview
- Visualize the relationship graph
- Need to be "smart" and show enough, but not too much
Artificer Specifics
- Everything we just talked about!
- "Not Just Another Repo"
- Powerful data, powerful tooling
- Can be nearly "auto everything"
- Valuable info, relationships, context, etc. over simple repos
Artificer Specifics (cont'd)
- Maven (& Gradle): Includes a Maven Repo "Facade"
- Acts just like any other Maven repo
- Publish and consume
- Can replace your existing repo, or augment it
Artificer Specifics (cont'd)
- Performant, vertically scalable, horizontally scalable
- RDBMS + JPA (Hibernate) + Caching (Infinispan) + Indexed Search (Lucene/Hibernate Search)
- JCR (ModeShape) + Infinispan
- Planned: NoSQL + Hibernate OGM
- Maybe: Graph DBs
Artificer Specifics (cont'd)
- Mostly built on solid JBoss platforms:
- Wildfly/EAP
- Hibernate Family
- ModeShape
- Keycloak
- Errai
- Aesh
Artificer Specifics (cont'd)
- OASIS S-RAMP
- Fully-compliant with OASIS S-RAMP spec
- ...for now (fairly dead spec)
- Foundation of data model, query syntax, and REST/Atom binding
- Mostly SOA-centric
- We extend well beyond the spec
Artificer Specifics (cont'd)
- Docker (and therefore OpenShift V3)
- IDE (Eclipse) integration, coming soon
- Multiple extension point contracts, but...
- ...soon replacing with a new, powerful plugin architecture
Artificer Features & Ideas
Out of Left Field
- Software was the original purpose
- Useful in many other ways
- Any type of hierarchical, inter-connected information
Example: "Getting Things Done" (David Allen)

The spawn()
function is a high-level wrapper
for running stackful coroutines. It is based on the Boost.Coroutine library.
The spawn()
function enables programs to implement asynchronous logic in a synchronous
manner, as shown in the following example:
boost::asio::spawn(my_strand, do_echo); // ... void do_echo(boost::asio::yield_context yield) { try { char data[128]; for (;;) { std::size_t length = my_socket.async_read_some( boost::asio::buffer(data), yield); boost::asio::async_write(my_socket, boost::asio::buffer(data, length), yield); } } catch (std::exception& e) { // ... } }
The first argument to spawn()
may be a strand
, io_service
, or completion
handler. This argument determines the context in which the coroutine
is permitted to execute. For example, a server's per-client object may
consist of multiple coroutines; they should all run on the same strand
so that no explicit synchronisation
is required.
The second argument is a function object with signature:
void coroutine(boost::asio::yield_context yield);
that specifies the code to be run as part of the coroutine. The parameter
yield
may be passed to
an asynchronous operation in place of the completion handler, as in:
std::size_t length = my_socket.async_read_some( boost::asio::buffer(data), yield);
This starts the asynchronous operation and suspends the coroutine. The coroutine will be resumed automatically when the asynchronous operation completes.
Where an asynchronous operation's handler signature has the form:
void handler(boost::system::error_code ec, result_type result);
the initiating function returns the result_type. In the async_read_some
example above, this is size_t
.
If the asynchronous operation fails, the error_code
is converted into a system_error
exception and thrown.
Where a handler signature has the form:
void handler(boost::system::error_code ec);
the initiating function returns void
.
As above, an error is passed back to the coroutine as a system_error
exception.
To collect the error_code
from an operation, rather than have it throw an exception, associate the
output variable with the yield_context
as follows:
boost::system::error_code ec; std::size_t length = my_socket.async_read_some( boost::asio::buffer(data), yield[ec]);
Note: if spawn()
is used with a custom completion handler
of type Handler
, the function
object signature is actually:
void coroutine(boost::asio::basic_yield_context<Handler> yield);

This document describes the behavior in Flask 0.7 which is mostly in line with the old behavior but has some small, subtle differences.
It is recommended that you read the The Application Context chapter first.
Say you have a utility function that returns the URL the user should be redirected to. Imagine it would always redirect to the URL’s next parameter or the HTTP referrer or the index page:
from flask import request, url_for
def redirect_url():
return request.args.get('next') or \
request.referrer or \
url_for('index')
As you can see, it accesses the request object. If you try to run this from a plain Python shell, this is the exception you will see:
>>> redirect_url()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'request'
That makes a lot of sense because we currently do not have a request we could access. So we have to make a request and bind it to the current context. The test_request_context method can create us a RequestContext:
>>> ctx = app.test_request_context('/?next=http://example.com/')
This context can be used in two ways. Either with the with statement or by calling the push() and pop() methods:
>>> ctx.push()
From that point onwards you can work with the request object:
>>> redirect_url()
u'http://example.com/'
Until you call pop:
>>> ctx.pop()
Because the request context is internally maintained as a stack you can push and pop multiple times. This is very handy to implement things like internal redirects.
For more information of how to utilize the request context from the interactive Python shell, head over to the Working with the Shell chapter.
If you look into how the Flask WSGI application internally works, you will find a piece of code that looks very much like this:
def wsgi_app(self, environ):
with self.request_context(environ):
try:
response = self.full_dispatch_request()
except Exception, e:
response = self.make_response(self.handle_exception(e))
return response(environ, start_response)
The method request_context() returns a new RequestContext object and uses it in combination with the with statement to bind the context. Everything that is called from the same thread from this point onwards until the end of the with statement will have access to the request globals (flask.request and others).
The request context internally works like a stack: The topmost level on the stack is the current active request. push() adds the context to the stack on the very top, pop() removes it from the stack again. On popping the application’s teardown_request() functions are also executed.
Another thing of note is that the request context will automatically also create an application context when it’s pushed and there is no application context for that application so far.
What happens if an error occurs in Flask during request processing? This particular behavior changed in 0.7 because we wanted to make it easier to understand what is actually happening. The new behavior is quite simple:
Now what happens on errors? In production mode if an exception is not caught, the 500 internal server handler is called. In development mode however the exception is not further processed and bubbles up to the WSGI server. That way things like the interactive debugger can provide helpful debug information.
An important change in 0.7 is that the internal server error is now no longer post processed by the after request callbacks and after request callbacks are no longer guaranteed to be executed. This way the internal dispatching code looks cleaner and is easier to customize and understand.
The new teardown functions are supposed to be used as a replacement for things that absolutely need to happen at the end of request.
The teardown callbacks are special callbacks in that they are executed at at different point. Strictly speaking they are independent of the actual request handling as they are bound to the lifecycle of the RequestContext object. When the request context is popped, the teardown_request() functions are called.
This is important to know if the life of the request context is prolonged by using the test client in a with statement or when using the request context from the command line:
with app.test_client() as client:
resp = client.get('/foo')
# the teardown functions are still not called at that point
# even though the response ended and you have the response
# object in your hand
# only when the code reaches this point the teardown functions
# are called. Alternatively the same thing happens if another
# request was triggered from the test client
It’s easy to see the behavior from the command line:
>>> app = Flask(__name__)
>>> @app.teardown_request
... def teardown_request(exception=None):
... print 'this runs after request'
...
>>> ctx = app.test_request_context()
>>> ctx.push()
>>> ctx.pop()
this runs after request
>>>
Keep in mind that teardown callbacks are always executed, even if before-request callbacks were not executed yet but an exception happened. Certain parts of the test system might also temporarily create a request context without calling the before-request handlers. Make sure to write your teardown-request handlers in a way that they will never fail.
Some of the objects provided by Flask are proxies to other objects. The reason behind this is that these proxies are shared between threads and they have to dispatch to the actual object bound to a thread behind the scenes as necessary.
Most of the time you don’t have to care about that, but there are some exceptions where it is good to know that this object is an actual proxy:
If you need to get access to the underlying object that is proxied, you can use the _get_current_object() method:
app = current_app._get_current_object()
my_signal.send(app)
If an error occurs or not, at the end of the request the request context is popped and all data associated with it is destroyed. During development however that can be problematic as you might want to have the information around for a longer time in case an exception occurred. In Flask 0.6 and earlier in debug mode, if an exception occurred, the request context was not popped so that the interactive debugger can still provide you with important information.
Starting with Flask 0.7 you have finer control over that behavior by setting the PRESERVE_CONTEXT_ON_EXCEPTION configuration variable. By default it’s linked to the setting of DEBUG. If the application is in debug mode the context is preserved, in production mode it’s not.
Do not force activate PRESERVE_CONTEXT_ON_EXCEPTION in production mode as it will cause your application to leak memory on exceptions. However it can be useful during development to get the same error preserving behavior as in development mode when attempting to debug an error that only occurs under production settings.


Patanjali founder Ramdev’s crazy hug video involving Arnab Goswami sets internet on fire
by JKR StaffRepublic TV’s Arnab Goswami recently welcomed controversial guru and founder of Patanjali Ayurved, Ramdev, in his studio on the day the Supreme Court delivered its much-awaited verdict on the Ayodhya land dispute case. With a favourable Supreme Court ruling, Ramdev was unable to hide his excitement and decided to hug and lift Goswami in the air. The video of Ramdev hugging and lifting the Republic TV founder in the air has now triggered a wave of memes on social media,
Ramdev lifting Goswami in the air may have gone unnoticed had Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera not tweet the photo asking his followers to write a suitable caption. He wrote, “Caption contest. Intelligent captions will get RTd/liked.”
No sooner did Khera share the photo, users began to flood his timeline with creative memes poking fun at two of the most controversial pro-BJP individuals.
Goswami had founded Republic TV with the help of BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar in 2017. As for Ramdev, he’s been a fierce supporter of the BJP and its Hindutva ideology. He had played a key role in leading a public agitation with Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal against the then Manmohan Singh government at the Centre in 2011 and 2012. This led to the creation of the Aam Aadmi Party, which is now in government in Delhi.

Although I was born in Aleppo, Syria. I was raised in a village called Al-Safita. In our village, you rarely met any Muslims, we were all Christian Arabs. I moved to Armenia three years ago with my brother, since we had to escape the country in order not to serve in the military, because it was and still is very dangerous to serve in the Syrian army, especially during wartime. We could not travel to Armenia by airplane, therefore we had to take the bus, travel to Lebanon where we were constantly discriminated against just for being Syrians and from Lebanon, we travelled to Yerevan via Dubai.
The road to Lebanon was very dangerous but we had to take the risk, The bus that was in front of us was attacked by rebel ‘moderate’ forces, three people were killed that day, but we had to continue our journey because of our fear of further potential attacks.  Although we would love to go back to Syria one day, we cannot complain of our lives here in Yerevan, my brother and I are employed and we have a above our heads, which is way more than what millions of Syrians wish for nowadays, so I can only say "Alhamdulillah" (Thank God)

Reporting primarily about myself, and my wife C.
Drug experience:
Me:
Plenty of pot
30-60 times with MDMA (and probably other things sold as E) all with C who introduced me
10-15 times with Coke
5-10 times with Crack
a couple times with Opium
once with some low-grade meth
I should say that I am far more sensitive to pot than almost anyone I have smoked with (C excluded), and it is easy for me to smoke myself into a stupor and pass out. Especially if I mix even one or two drinks of alcohol, which I am NOT normally over-sensitive to, even in pretty large quantities.
C:
A few times with pot
100-200 times with MDMA
2-5 times with Coke
1 or 2 times with LSD
once with Crack
once with Opium
once with some low-grade meth
Disclaimer: Our experiences with 2C-I were a long time ago, and I wish I'd written this sooner so as to be more accurate, but this is the best I can recall.
The reason:
Our MDMA supply had been dry for a very long time, and we were really jonesing for something. I read a lot of reports that 2C-I could be similar, and good for sex (one thing we like about MDMA). In hindsight, NOT good reasoning.
The setup:
We acquired 200mgs 2C-I, and since we had no scale and did not want to invest that much for an experiment, I got a good quality eye dropper bottle, some everclear, and set to work. I can't remember the exact count, but I believe I had it worked to where either 3 or 4 drops was one mg. I was EXTREMELY careful when doing this counting and math, and I almost never make mistakes with things I'm being careful about. Who knows, maybe they sent us too much, and that screwed our dosings. But looking at the whole picture of experiences, I doubt it.
The first time:
We were excited to try it, and we were careful to eat well the day before, sleep well the night before, eat good breakfast and lunch and then skip dinner the day of. We were also allowing a buddy (F) to come over and join us. He had always been cool when we wanted someone to hang with and talk to, and he was always good at staying out of our hair when we wanted private time.
T+0:00 F's not here yet, and won't be for a while, but we want to get started, and he won't care. So I carefully prep a moderate-low dose for each of us estimated to be slightly over threshold, which probably would have been 12-14 mgs.
Mistake One: I use OJ to do this, forgetting that C doesn't really like OJ that much. She doesn't usually have nausea problems, but apparently on this night, the OJ seemed to go badly for her on an empty stomach with a strong psychedelic.
T+1:00 We're both starting really starting to feel something coming on, but no bad feelings yet. Then (Mistake number 2 and 3), the phone rings. C picks up the phone, checks the caller ID says 'It's your parents', and hands me the phone. I say 'No way I'm talking to them right now like this', and she mouths 'I already hit the talk button. I'm SOOO Sorry!!!'.
Me: 'Mom! Hi.' Well, long story short I get my mom off the phone in record time (just under 20 minutes), and I don't think at the time she detected anything (or heard my not answering comment). I'll never truly know.
Damn I wish I'd just unplugged the phone that night.
T+1:30 I'm REALLY feeling some things happening that are DEFINATELY NOT MDMA. C doesn't look so good, and she tells me (again) how bad she feels about the phone, and that she (and her stomach) feels crazy messed up, and she goes downstairs to lay down. I try to put some music on upstairs (which takes quite a while) and stay out of her way, so as not to upset her nausea any worse. I'm getting worried that the phone incident has sent our entire evening in the wrong direction, and that our mood will never recover. (I was too right)
T:+1:45 F shows up. Me: 'Dude, we are MESSED up, and this stuff is NOT Ecstacy.' I tell him exactly how much we did and how to mix it, and that he is free to do so at his own risk. Now we never really told him what it was for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that we did not trust him to have his own access to the stuff in the future, purely for his own well-being. But anyway, he trusts us as we were pretty good friends, and we had introduced him to MDMA. So he takes a much smaller dose. I have no idea how much it was, or if he ever even made it off of baseline. But he was a good house-guest, did nothing annoying, and tried to help by doing anything we ask him to.
T:+2:00 C's getting worse and worse, and my visuals are so crazy that I could not detect if I had a body buzz, or if that was just dizziness from not being able to see straight. I had this Aztech pattern flowing over everything in my field of vision, whether my eyes were open or not.
The next 2-6(?) hours were really a haze of us just trying to get comfortable, which we never really did. I didn't puke, but I couldn't tell you if C did or not.
Finally, we eventually calmed down enough to watch a movie and started GRADUALLY feeling better after that.
The second time:
A week or two later after me trying to figure out what went wrong, and figure out a way to make it an enjoyable trip, I decide to expiriment. So, on an evening that I'm home alone, I take a small dose, probably 6-8 mgs, and wait. After a few hours, I start to see the familiar Aztec visuals, and I'm feeling a slight body buzz. It was all very controlable and somewhat enjoyable, but still nothing really like E.  Now, as I mentioned before I have a low tolerance for pot, and I can get extremely F'd up.
 Now I always feel great when I'm stoned, but this was truly something else. My body feels like it's made out of lead. This always happens to me when I get really stoned, but it usually takes more quite a bit more weed than that. But I'm still feeling better than I ever have, I just can't move, so I lay there and listen to music for hours, and feel really bad about feeling this good without C.
So I tried for the next week or two to gently convince C that it might be worth trying again. She was dead set against it. Apparently her vision never seemed to return to normal, which she complained about for at least 2 months after the first time. I'm still not sure if she feels like it's recovered to this day. Now I should say that C and I have always had noticeably above average vision, hers even better than mine. And I'm sure we're still both above average, but it may have done some minor permanent damage to either or both of us.
The last time:
Then one night, our friend B calls just to chat with C. After chatting for a while C learn's that M (B's boyfriend) is jonesing, and C sets up an evening for M and I to do some 2C-I. (Although we never told them what it was, for the same reasons we never told F). So we take the stuff over to M&B's house, and I, M, and a couple of M's roommates (they would have had a real house of the rising sun if they could ever get anything stronger than weed), dose up at probably about 10mgs. M's roomates go there room to do their own thing, while M and I hang out watching a movie with our significant others.
Well, after 2 hours we're not feeling much. Noticeable, but definitely less than a +2, so we decide to do a couple mgs more. After another hour when we're barely higher than an hour before, I suggest we smoke some pot. So M get's the roomates out of their room, and they're about where we are, so they agree to have a J with us. Here comes another mistake of mine.  Well, that probably turned out to be 4-5 hits when I really only intended to do 2.
Long story short, I spent an undetermined amount of time (felt like many many hours or days, but could have been as little as 15 minutes) laying on the couch in a completely confused state including some really messed up dream-like things, and the occasional complete loss of ego where I could not convince myself that I was not part of the couch. And I don't mean my body melded into it, I mean there were times I believed I might have been manufactured, and existed my entire life as a part of this (really old) couch. Sometimes I was an entire cushion, sometimes I was a single molecule within the structure of this gigantic couch.
Finally I manage to become alert enough to perceive and communicate with the outside world, and I ask C to drive me home. I start feeling better once we get in the car, and strangely I don't even remember the visuals being very powerful. I later learned that M spent some time (while I was laying on the couch) in his roomates room, and they apparently felt JUST like they were having a great roll with great visuals. I also felt bad I had to leave (once I was coherent enough to have logical thought), because I know M doesn't really like the roomates, and B can be an extreme bore when she's sober (I still can't even remember why she didn't want to dose with us).
Final thoughts:
I never saw that little blue bottle again, as we left it at M&B's house that night. Never heard who did what with it, and never cared. I do feel like I could eventually learn to make 2C-I a useful and/or enjoyable trip. But since C has lost all will to experiment, there's no reason to.
We never gained any deep meaning, and the only thing we learned is that these substances are serious, and should definitely be treated very seriously. I thought I was doing everything possible to be extremely careful, and it just was not good enough.
I seriously question if this is as good an introductory psychedelic as people say it is. If it really is, then all I can say is whoa!

Crumbly, mild Cheshire cheese gives a British twist to this delicious apple turnover.
Equipment and preparation: for this recipe you will need a 11cm/4½in round cutter and a freestanding mixer with a dough hook attachment.
For the dough, warm the milk and 90ml/3fl oz water in a small saucepan until lukewarm.
Place all the other ingredients, except the butter, in the bowl of a freestanding mixer with a dough hook attachment, making sure the yeast doesn’t touch the salt. Add three-quarters of the milk and water mixture.
Start the mixer on a low speed until all the ingredients are incorporated. Add a bit more liquid if the dough seems too dry; you want a slightly sticky dough. Increase the speed and mix for seven minutes.
Spread the dough out onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Cover with cling film and place in freezer to cool.
Using a rolling pin, flatten the butter out between two pieces of baking parchment into a rectangle 33x19cm/13x7½in and place in the freezer.
After 15 minutes remove the dough from the freezer and roll it out to a rectangle 50x20cm/19½x8in. With a short edge towards you, place the flattened butter on the lower two-thirds of the dough.
Fold the top third of dough over the butter and then fold the bottom third upwards so all the butter is encased. Press the edges firmly together.
Turn the block of dough 90 degrees and roll out to 50x20cm/19½x8in. Fold the top third down and the bottom third up and place back in freezer for 15 minutes.
Repeat the rolling and folding twice more, placing the dough in the freezer for 15 minutes in between. Store covered in the fridge until ready to use.
Meanwhile, for the filling, chop the apple into 5mm chunks and place in a large heatproof bowl. Add the lemon zest, mixed spice, butter, raisins, walnuts and sugar.
Cover with cling film and place in a microwave on the highest setting for six minutes (you could also do this in a saucepan, cooking until the apples are softened). Stir to combine, then spread the filling out on a plate to cool completely.
Cut the pastry into two equal pieces and roll out one half on a well-floured work surface to a thickness of 4mm.
Using a 11cm/4½in round cutter, cut out six circles. Place a tablespoon of the apple filling in the centre of each circle and sprinkle a little Cheshire cheese on top. Season with pepper.
Brush a little beaten egg around the edge of each circle of pastry. Fold in half to enclose the filling and press to seal.
Place each pastry on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Repeat the rolling, cutting and filling process with the second batch of dough to make 12 chaussons. Cover the chaussons with cling film and allow to prove at room temperature for 40 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. (Do not use a fan-assisted oven.)
Make three cuts in the top of each chausson to allow steam to escape and brush with beaten egg. Bake for 20 minutes, or until well risen and golden-brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack.
