Is when you were charged by the police found guilty in a court.

And a conviction is registered at that point your criminal record which details your conviction is stored in epic which is the criminal record database managed by the rump if you get a pardon which is now called a record suspension the parole board of Canada will order the rump to remove your criminal record from the epic criminal records database so when an employer does a background check on you they will not see your conviction your background check will come back clean but this is not the case with a non-conviction a non-conviction is where you had interactions with the police.

Which led to charges but ultimately there was no conviction records of your non-conviction including your charges police notes photographs and fingerprints are stored in a few different places including the databases at the police station where you were charged and the court where your case was processed you can’t remove those records with a pardon because a pardon only applies to convictions for non-convictions you need to get a file destruction which will destroy traces of your non-conviction you need to make a file destruction request to the police service where you were charged however here.

Is what most people don’t know the decision on whether to destroy your non-conviction record lies with the police if the police refuse your request for a file destruction your non-conviction charges will be a permanent part of your record and will be disclosed on any background check conducted by an employer finally the most important factor in getting your pardon is to get your application right mistakes will cost you time and in some cases rejection we are Canada’s only law firm dedicated to pardons u’s waivers let’s get your application done right for a reasonable cost click on the link below to schedule a free no obligation call.

In 2025, Immigration Wants ALL Your Criminal Records – What You Need to Know

Let’s talk about criminal records at USCIS and the State Department in 2025. Hi, I’m Jim Hacking, immigration lawyer practicing law throughout the United States out of our offices in St. Louis, San Diego, and Washington, D.C. As a lawyer and an advocate for immigrants, we want to be as aggressive as we can be in what evidence we turn over, and we winna be honest and forthright.

We want to give USCIS or the State Department everything that they ask for. Historically, uh, though, when it comes to criminal records, the government hasn’t always been very consistent in what they ask for. Sometimes, they just ask for the disposition. They just wanna know, did this case get resolved? And I’m not here specifically talking about traffic, but the, the theories sort of apply.

I’m talking more about criminal records, and usually, they just want to see if this is something that makes you deportable, or if it’s something that makes you inadmissible to the United States, or if it’s something that would keep you from getting a visa to the United States. In 2025, those days are over. The government, USCIS, or the State Department, they are going to expect you to bring them a complete set of everything related to any criminal infraction that you’ve had. Now, if you’re applying for citizenship 30 years later, maybe not from way back then, but generally, if you have any kind of crimes that could impact your immigration case, so if you’re applying for citizenship and you have one during the statutory period or maybe even beyond the statutory period that was a serious crime, they’re going to want the arrest report, the court file certified by the clerk of court wherever your criminal charges were, and they’re going to want the disposition. So, you know, we’ve gone to immigration interviews with all those in our hand, and sometimes if the officer only asks for the, uh, disposition, then we just give them what they ask for.

There’s no rule that says you have to dump everything on them. But what I’m here to tell you is that in 2025, they are asking for everything. So, that, that cuts across lots of issues within the immigration process. What do I mean by that? Well, number one, you probably want to get all those records before you file, because you never know at what stage in the process, they might send you a request for evidence about documents related to your criminal charges.

Now, on the forms themselves, you have to list your crimes, and they might ask you very early on in the process for the documentation of that. So, I believe that gone are the days where officers are going to accept just the disposition. You could send that in, but you’re going to get a request for them. And so, in most immigration offices around the country and in most consulates around the world, you can expect that they want to see everything. They wanna know what’s in that police report.

And a lot of times, police reports contain really bad things, things in there that might not have impacted the overall case, but that might make the applicant look bad, and they are asking for those. And so, we’re cry- you’re going to see a lot more of a focus in the Trump administration as it relates to USCIS and the State Department in their efforts to keep America safe again to not allow immigrants in or to give them immigration benefits if they have criminal matters that the government doesn’t like. So, you can expect a lot more scrutiny. How else does this impact it? Well, whenever you receive a request for evidence or a notice of intent to deny, or a continuance on your citizenship case, that slows down your case.

So, if you think to yourself, “If I’m the government and I want to slow down legal immigration to the United States…” which is what Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, and Donald Trump want to do, is to slow down legal immigration to the United States. By requiring everybody to get every criminal record that they’ve ever had, it’s going to slow down individual cases.

It’s also going to slow down the system, which is part of what they’re after. You’re going to see a lot more cases where you go to the interview and you give them those records, and they say, “Well, I can’t give you a decision now, because I have to review those records.” So, we’re, we are really seeing a sea change in how the embassies or USCIS look at criminal matters, and specifically the documentation of. So, another way this is gonna impact is just on approval rates. There are going to be more people who get denied because of something that makes them inadmissible, something that makes them removable, or something that makes them not eligible for a visa, and you’re going to see even the government try to stretch those powers soon.

I saw a denial the other day of a case type that I have never seen before. So, in this denial notice on a green card application, the fellow had one screwy crime back in the UK, and then, like, a resisting or not pulling over for a police officer on a traffic matter. That was it. And even though this applicant explained to the officer what had happened, and even though the USCIS concluded that he was admissible, so they said, “We’ve received these criminal records from you, from the, the weird thing in England and the thing in New York City, and we know that that does not make you inadmissible. But we have the discretion on who we give green cards to, so we’re going to use our discretion and not give you a green card.” So, you can expect, if you have any kind of criminal matters, that your case just got a whole lot more complicated.

And I would say that based on the calls that I’m getting on my immigration answer show, that if you’re doing this without an attorney, you’re nuts. I don’t care if you hire me or not, and I’m not here to scare people. People love to say in the comments, “Oh, this lawyer, he just likes to scare people.” Do you really think that I create 2,200 videos for free for people to sort of learn how to do a lot of this on their own?

Do you think I do that to make money? No, I don’t. I don’t. I do it because I care about immigrants, and I, I believe that if I demonstrate to you over and over that I know what I’m talking about and that we as a firm are really good at what we do, that the right people will hire us, that the people who are smart and want to win their cases will hire us.

So, I don’t make these videos to scare people, and I don’t say all this stuff about criminal records to scare you.

I say it so that you go in there knowing what you’re up against, knowing what you’re going to be asked for, knowing how organized you have to be, and, and that you have that stuff at the time of filing. So, for all of those reasons, if you’re thinking about hiring us or working with our firm to represent you through the immigrant visa process, through green card, citizenship, whatever it is, and you’re worried about criminal stuff or you’re not worried about criminal stuff, give us a call 314-961-8200 or email us info at hackingimmigrationlaw.com. If you’re just looking for free resources, we have a ton of them, and again, not making money off them. We have our Immigrant Home Facebook group.

There’s 15,000 people in there talking about the immigration process, asking questions of each other. We have our YouTube channel that you can subscribe to, that we post new videos to every week. We have, uh, an Immigration Answers Live Show that goes live on Facebook and YouTube.

You can come and ask me a question for free. Again, not something that we’re making money off of.

And then finally, uh, you should subscribe to the channel so that you get updates whenever we go live. And if you’re not following us on TikTok, we have a little bit more fun with the immigration process @immigrationhacking. Thanks so much for watching, and we’ll see you on the next video.

How to Pass Your Employment Background Check

Many of us will get asked for previous employer references self-employment and education certificates just briefly after accepting an offer letter but why? what does actually show up on an  employment background check and how can you pass on yours hey guys Emilia here from empowered  bringing you today the best tips and tools in how to win at life and level up your career  employment background checks are very common and most hiring companies will go ahead and  get in touch with your previous employers or universities even when you already got a job offer  but why? we have all heard these crazy stories of big dogs lying on their resumés for example Scott Thompson former president at PayPal and named yahoo CEO in 2012. he lied on his resumé regarding his computer science degree and guess what it did come out and a couple of months after  that he left yahoo companies perform background checks just as an insurance they want to confirm  that they can trust you, as they have never met you before and they want to confirm that you  are who you said you were when they fell in love with you during the recruitment process comment  down below what are your biggest worries when it comes to background checks?

it’s very normal for someone to get concerned about background checks especially in circumstances like when they have omitted information from their cv when they didn’t stay in a role for long enough or even if they got fired from their previous role but let’s also look into education what if they failed the course or they never completed their degree? but don’t worry in this video I’m going to share with you what exactly gets verified on an employment background check in terms of working experience when your future employer is calling your past employers, they want to verify three things did you actually work there? what was your title? and what were the dates of employment? start  and end date some companies may ask about salary information but it is up to your previous employer  if they want to disclose that information or not and for the case you’re self-employed for the  last years or months some companies may request proof of income to verify that you did the work  for the companies you said you did or even bank records or tax returns.

When it comes to education  background checks what gets verified is: did you attend university that you said you did  ?what were the years that you attended? and what was the degree that you completed?  sometimes the company might ask about your final grade but not individual grades. so now that you know what an employment background checking tells you need to make sure that information you provided your future employer is a 100% match to what they’ll hear from your past employers and educational institutions.

before we jump into the most frequently asked questions regarding employment background checks give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to this channel for more content like this on a weekly basis! so, let’s now look into some frequently asked questions regarding employment background checks let’s get started with education so first question:  “I’ve dropped out of unit and haven’t completed my degree should i include it on my resume or tell companies about it?” my answer to this is doesn’t focus on if your degree is completed or not but put your attention into some more important questions does your degree align with the job you’re applying for? if you delete this unfinished degree will there, be a huge time gap in your resume? are there any courses that you took on this unfinished degree that are relevant for this job?

if your answers to this are mostly yes go ahead and include it on your resume  and even share it with a recruiter during your interviews even though you haven’t finished  that degree mentioning your unfinished degree will prevent awkward questions during the interviewing  process and it will stop the recruiter from making negative assumptions that could prevent them  from hiring you to this role.

And if you’re still studying and planning to finish your degree you should definitely include it on your resume and include degree expected and the anticipated graduation year. and now let’s look into some questions regarding working experience “i am  not sure about the starting and end date from my past job” if you aren’t sure about the starting  and ending date from a past job get in touch with HR drop them a message or a call and say  “hey I’m currently recruiting for a new role and i want to make sure i give this company the most  accurate information regarding my past employment could you please answer to some questions?”  and then just ask them hey what was my starting and ending date for my past employment or even if you have any other questions that you want to get clarified just ask them. then the next question is “the title i provided on my resume and LinkedIn isn’t an exact match to my past employment” so you’re the exact example is that Helen as included on her cv and LinkedIn the title of project manager where’s her formal past title was business strategist.

Titles can mean anything, and small modifications are absolutely acceptable. next question is “what should i do if i was in my previous company for a really short amount of time?” there is nothing wrong with this perhaps this experience just wasn’t a fit for you and if it isn’t relevant for the job you’re applying to do not include it on your cv and now “what to do if i omitted information from my resume?” if you  haven’t included working experience that wasn’t relevant for the job you’re applying to, well  done and companies won’t be able to research this as long as there is no direct way for them to know  about the jobs you omitted they won’t be able to contact previous employers you haven’t told  them about; and if you have any other questions that weren’t covered in this video feel free to  drop them in the comments below.

Now with this all out of the way, if you want to know more about what you should and shouldn’t include on your resume check out my video right here.

Guide to Background Checks!! (Part 2)



Hi everyone, Laura from Nanny Parent Connection here. Last week in my guide to Nanny Background Checks part one, we discussed what a background check is and the different types of Background Checks available. Today in part two, we are going to talk about how to read the background check results, and suggestions for handling certain hits on the background check. Here is what you will see at the top of the background check report. Subject information This section contains personal information about your candidate.

We take privacy and security very seriously, so your candidate’s social security number and birth date will be partially hidden to protect their privacy. Report summary information in this section, you will see a quick summary of any hits that are found, as they relate to the specific components of the Background Check.

Next, you will find the social security number trace set. This component reports your candidate’s Social Security account status. In this section, you will see any name variations for your candidate, and you  will see the status of the social security number for your candidate and the year it was issued.

Finally, you will see any unique jurisdictions or locations in  your candidate’s Social Security account. If you see a hit on your candidate’s Social Security trace, it may be due  to your candidate not having a valid social security number, your candidate not having a valid work authorization to work in the United States, or because of a name change due to marriage identity theft, Etc. Occasionally, a hit will show up on the Social Security Trace,  if the social Social Security Administration has an incomplete file for your candidate. Which can be caused by several things including not having  a unique jurisdiction associated with their social security account. If you see any hits on this section of your report, please contact our expert Background  Check team, and they can help you to determine what caused the hit and what steps to take next.

Our background check support team is easy to reach, and you will speak to a real person. After the social security number trace, you will find information for the motor vehicle record. This part of the background check shows the candidate’s driving history. This information comes directly from the state that your candidate is licensed in. In this section, you will find personal information including your candidate’s  driver’s license number, and their license status whether that’s valid or invalid.

Below that you will find information on convictions violations and accidents. Pay close attention to this section as you will see any speeding ticket,  DUIs, accidents, or other moving violation.

Most of the time if you see an accident listed it’s an at fault accident,  but occasionally some jurisdictions will list those differently. So, what do you do if you see a hit on the Motor Vehicle Record. First, make sure you have already asked your candidate about any accidents tickets or other infractions there might be on their record during that  interview stage if driving is required on the job.

The candidate’s answer should match whatever is found on that driving record. If there are hits on their record and they don’t match what is previously disclosed,  that could be a red flag. For registered plate violations This would be things like expired tabs. This is likely not worth a conversation unless you  see a pattern of these types of violations on the record. For handheld device use, this is cell phone use while driving, look at the date that this offense occurred and review the rules of the road and the expectations surrounding driving children on the job with your nanny candidate.

Expectations should also be outlined in the contract. Look at the dates the offense occurred, again if it’s more recent it’s worth a conversation about expectations driving on the job, and if a pattern has been established, that could be problematic. For any accidents look at the dates again,  if the accidents happened years ago, that may not warrant a conversation. If the accidents were more recent, it’s worth a conversation to establish some context. And if there is a pattern of accidents that of course may be a deal breaker  if you need driving on the job with your nanny.

If you really like a candidate but would still like to move forward,  and you want to address and mitigate any accident potential in the future, ask your candidate if they would be willing to take a defensive driving course. It will build the candidate’s driving skills, and it will help give you peace of mind. For DUIs Not only should this have been mentioned proactively  by the Nanny candidate during the interview phase, but they should also have provided some context. For example, how long ago that happened, any lessons learned, Etc.

If the candidate would be driving your own car on the job,  this may make adding them to your car insurance more expensive.

And for many families, having a DUI on the driving record could be a non-starter. If the driver is not found, or they have an invalid driver’s license listed,  scan down several lines and see if they have a valid ID card. It may be that perhaps they don’t have a valid driver’s license and only have an ID card instead. If a state issued ID card is not listed, make sure to check the driver’s license at the top of the number and compare it to the driver’s license number that your candidate entered in the information process. May be that your candidate input an incorrect number during that process.

If this is the case please contact our background check  team so that they can work with you to run a replacement Motor Vehicle Record Search. Remember, even though your candidate may not be driving your children, their driving history can be a good indicator for how mature and responsible your candidate is. For the County Criminal Record Search This is by far the most important section along with the national sex offender search. In this section, you will find any hits related to the criminal history that your candidate may have. But remember, most states only go back seven years.

If your candidate was convicted of a crime 20 years ago, depending on the state,  this information may not show up on the report. In the County criminal records section, you will find records of any misdemeanors,  gross misdemeanors, or felonies associated with your candidate. Such as shoplifting, DUI, drug convictions, robbery, and probably the most important hit that parents are looking for, domestic elder or child abuse.

You will also see any probation, financial penalties, and jail time associated with that hit. If you see hits in this section, you need to determine what you and your family are or are not comfortable with.

Obviously, if you see something serious you may decide that this candidate is not the right fit for your family. However, if you see something like a minor in possession, or perhaps a DUI conviction from years ago. Keep in mind that we all make mistakes in life at times, it is very important to remember that if this candidate disclosed that information to you previously, it demonstrates maturity responsibility and growth. Whereas if it’s not disclosed upfront, this would demonstrate lack of growth, lack of professionalism, and lack of responsibility. As with hits in any other section of the Background Check, it’s important to consider when the offense occurred, an offense that happened seven years ago might be something the candidate has grown from and very much moved on on from, versus something that happened only a year or two ago.

The national criminal record database search is the final component. The NCRD searches nearly 1 billion offense records from the FBI, U.S Marshal, Customs, DEA, Secret Service, and the Department of Justice. The NCRD search does not include County criminal records, but it does include the national sex offender search. If a hit is found on this search,  again, the candidate should have disclosed the offense proactively.

Obviously, a sex offender hit is a non-starter. For any other types of hits, you will need to trust your gut and determine  if your family is comfortable working with that candidate inside your home. As you can see, a background check can  give invaluable insight into your candidate’s background, and it could even shed some light on the type of care provider your candidate might be. Remember, this person will be working inside of your home with your children. I’m sure you can see now why it’s important to never skip running a background check on your candidate, and if you’re still not convinced don’t miss hearing about these parents near miss on the candidate she almost hired, by watching this video!

Every Generation Explained in 10 minutes

“You kids and your TikToks! When I was your age,  we were working in the mines!” Grandpa grumbles between mouthfuls of mashed potatoes. “Okay, boomer!” your 12-year-old cousin fires back, eyes glued to his iPhone.”Ski bidi toilet!” And there you are, frantically scrolling through job listings, trying to find a side hustle to cover… well, living. But how did we get here? Why does it feel like the generations are at war? It wasn’t always like this.

Sure, back in the 1800s, they probably complained about how those darn ‘1812-ers’ were ruining the Revolutionary War generation’s hard-fought legacy. But this idea of labeling people by generations and turning it into a culture clash? That’s actually a 20th-century invention. Generations used to be simple family labels—until someone decided, “Hey,  let’s study this… and fight about it!” And now we have seven distinct generations, each thinking they’re doing things right.

But why does it feel like a battleground for who’s really to blame for the world’s problems? That’s exactly what we’re breaking down in this episode of The Infographics Show- Every Generation Explained.

Find out exactly where  YOU fit in this generational showdown. The Greatest Generation – 1901 to 1927 This Generation was born at the start of a new century filled with promise, progress and excitement – but naturally, history had different plans. The early years of this generation would be filled with massive upheaval, with many seeing World War I unfold and being haunted by the specter of the Spanish Flu.

But amid this, they saw many leaps in culture – as the roaring twenties took off and brought Jazz and Swing music into the mainstream. But with every up comes a down – and the Great Depression hit as many of them were approaching adulthood, plunging the entire world into economic uncertainty. And then the rumblings of war started… And that’s how this generation earned their name.

Most of this generation were of fighting age when World War II broke out, and they became associated with the most iconic military triumph the United States had ever seen. Although there were many losses, they returned home to celebrations and went on to great success in business, culture – and of course, you’re lucky enough to know one, ask them to tell you a crazy story about the good old days. With a legacy this large, it’s no surprise that the next generation was sort of overshadowed. Silent Generation – 1928 to 1945 The Silent Generation was also shaped by these world events – but not in the same way,  as they grew up in a world in flux. The depression shaped their childhood, leading to many growing  up in unsettled circumstances, and the war caused wartime rationing. Many saw parents die in combat,  and grew up in a deeply patriotic environment. Speaking out against the government was frowned upon, and a strong sense of collectivism was encouraged.

And that’s how this generation got its name – because as soon as one war ended, another began. This was the first generation largely defined by the Cold War.

The threat of Communism was already alive and well in America before this generation was born, but once the Soviet Union got nukes, it was all hands-on deck. The name comes from the fact that most of them were silent during the McCarthy era, keeping their heads down and maintaining a strong work ethic that had been instilled in them in childhood. The term “Baby Boomers” comes from the baby boom of the late 1940s and 1950s, as all the World War II veterans returned home, and the economy recovered from the depression and wartime footing. The result? A higher standard of living for Americans, a fast advance in commerce and technology, and a whole lot of woo-hoo! And soon, the babies started coming, resulting in a massive generation of over 76 million Americans alone – making them the largest generation. And they grew up in a world that saw progress come fast – this was the age of the Space Race, of the Civil Rights Movement, of Woodstock, and of the changes that led to what most people view as a “typical American Childhood”. But it was also an age of uncertainty and terror.

If the words “Duck and Cover” cause you to dive under the nearest table, you might just be a Baby Boomer! This was the era when nuclear annihilation was the clearest and most present threat, as events like the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world to the brink.

Thus, Baby Boomers were raised to be cautious and deeply patriotic. But this was also the era of the Vietnam draft and the massive anti-war movement that followed – something that continues in how they impact politics to this day. They’ve had four Presidents – Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, and Trump. They have a reputation for leaning conservative, and their easier road in the economy and employment rankles the younger generations, but they’re as ideologically diverse as the other generations – and as they reach retirement age by the millions each year, they show no signs of their influence waning. With the Boomers casting such a long shadow,  is it any surprise that the next generation is a little more…zen? Generation X – 1965 to 1980 Known as the slacker generation by many of the older generations, Generation X largely escaped one major trial by fire – a major war that swept them up. While the Baby Boomers largely fought in Vietnam, this generation saw the latter days of the Cold Wars as tension started to slowly ease.

The most significant war of this period, the Gulf War, was a limited conflict that didn’t involve a draft. And that led them to become far more involved in domestic affairs – and far more willing to question the powers that be.

This was the era where LGBT rights became a key issue, and when the AIDS epidemic swept the world. And while the world might not have been in as much danger of immediate annihilation, change was going to come fast. And much of that cultural shift would be on…the TV?

Today, Generation X is most associated not with what they did – but with what they watched and listened to.

This is the era that MTV came on the air, and the beginnings of the grunge movement stepped onto the stage. It also saw a disturbing rise in kidnappings and the rise of the Satanic Panic, as fears shifted to the homefront and parents became more protective of their kids – spelling an end to the age of free-range childhood and the beginning of helicopter parenting.

Much like the Silent Generation, this generation is often seen as overshadowed by the ones sandwiching it – and it has never had a President even as its older members approach sixty. Now it’s time to shift to the kids – wait, they’re how old now?

Millennials – 1981 to 1996 Coming of age as the Cold War breathed its last and a new era began; the Millennials are associated with one thing more than any other – technology.

This generation experienced a lot of whiplash in their early years – growing up in the era of Toys ‘R Us and wall phones as kids, seeing the internet born as they grew up, and entering a new digital landscape as they hit high school or college. For the millennials, especially those who saw the calendar roll over to 2000 as they approached adulthood, the world seemed full of promise and excitement. Surely it was all uphill from here! But just like the Greatest Generation, History had its way of throwing a spanner in the works.

As soon as the new millennium rolled over, chaos seemed to ensue.

A near-tied Presidential election with a controversial resolution led many millennials to become disaffected with politics.  The 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington kicked off a global war on terror – and while there was no draft like in previous generations, it cast a pall over young adulthood for many. Then, the  2008 financial crisis upended many millennials’ career plans. This has set them back in many ways, with many living at home with their parents long after previous generations and struggling to find long-term employment.

This has also led this generation to become highly liberal, with many of the generations young politicians being iconoclasts like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  But while millennials are still often used as shorthand for “Young people”, here’s a scary  statistic. The older millennials are now over 40 – which means some of them are already grandparents. Which means it’s time for someone else to say “Okay, Millennial”. Generation Z – 1997 to 2010 If the Millennials got a crash course in technology as they grew up, Gen Z are digital natives, with almost all of them growing up with the internet being a part of everyday life.

They likely got cell phones at a relatively young age, and those quickly changed to smartphones – essentially giving them a computer in their pocket at all times.

When the boomers talk about “Kids these days will never understand – “they mean this generation – the majority of Gen Z has likely never worked on a typewriter, used white-out, or scanned a newspaper for movie listings. To which they would answer…why would we need to? But if you think that means they’re checked out of reality…think again. One thing that’s been clear about this generation as they get older is that they are highly engaged in politics and social issues, with the internet being key in increasing their awareness.

They’ve played a key role in the anti-war, gun control, and anti-climate change movements – but often prefer confrontational protest movements to voting and organizing in the traditional way. This has caused no shortage of headaches for older generations, but progress usually only goes one way, and it’s still uncertain how they’re going to impact politics around the world as they get older. Which raises the question – what is the next generation going to look like? Gen Alpha – 2011 to ? How do you judge a generation that’s just barely started?

Well, if you ask most older people, they have no problem! Much like Gen Z were digital natives, Gen Alpha are smartphone natives – which means they’ve never known a world without the constant stream of information at their fingertips.

This has led to worries from teachers about them having trouble with reading and attention span, as they’re so used to getting their information from short-form video like TikTok – and they’re growing up just as AI becomes a massive concern. But like with every generation, there’s another side to that. Even more so than Gen Z, Gen Alpha is highly engaged in activism and passionate about justice.

They’re also the most tech-savvy generation ever, not just playing it but creating it.
