Have you ever heard of a man known as Agh? References to Agh appear in the Phoenician inscriptions from B. Blos, within the much older Canaanite Ugaritic texts, within Midian on the northwest-era peninsula, in Deuteronomy, in the Book of Numbers, and in Joshua, mentioned in many religious and non-religious texts King of Basham, which is now the Golan Heights. Who was this Agh? Well, it turns out, Agh was a giant. A rather special giant. He was, in fact, the last of his kind. The Book of Numbers states that he died during the Battle of Edrai. Deuteronomy 3 verse 11 declares that his bedstead, translated in some texts as sarcophagus, was made of iron, and was 9 cubits in length and 4 cubits in width, about 13.5 feet by 6 feet. He goes on to say that at the royal city of the Ammonites, his giant bedstead could still be seen as a novelty at the time the texts were written. Fast forward to the present day, and a miraculous discovery has been made, a discovery which could see more biblical stories being proven historically accurate. A recent archaeological dig has unearthed no less than two dozen skeletons, all of giant proportions near the ancient ruins of Rujim Elherai, which is indeed located within the Golan Heights. What's more, compellingly, this was no normal burial. During a press briefing, the team responsible for the discovery expressed their views to the world. Quote, The site of Rujim Elherai has been extensively searched for decades already, but our team noticed a mound nearby, which we thought was of major interest. It has been two long years, but it was definitely worth the effort. Said Tom Yagur, one of the archaeologists on site. One of the giants was covered in an exquisitely crafted suit of copper armor. One of their copper swords was also as hard as steel and made in a fashion unknown to modern man. Could this really be the final resting place of the last of the giants? All we can hope is that the Smithsonian doesn't get a chance to buy them. A little over a year ago, we shared the story surrounding a mysterious discovery that was once claimed to have been made deep within cave systems within Ecuador, which some believe were originally man-made. A discovery that, although now concealed from the world, was photographed, studied, and documented, thanks to the array of artifacts which had been amassed by an individual known as Father Crespi. An entire seemingly alien metallic library, complete with hundreds of sheets of gold, platinum, and other precious metals, hammered out to reveal an astonishing unknown language clearly left by a people of tremendous capabilities. The caves in which this find is claimed to have been made is known as Cueva de los Teos. And although such discovery is denied by the Ecuadorian authorities, the Ecuadorian and interestingly United Kingdoms governments funded an extensive search of the cave systems soon after the claims became public. It attracted the attention of numerous individuals who traveled into the depths of these caves, including Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. What we wish to focus on this video, however, is the enormous seemingly man-made caverns which are found to be within the cave systems. We feel, if these cave systems are indeed one day admitted as having been artificially hewn from the bedrock, then this would undeniably reveal tremendous flaws in academia's claims as to the geology and indeed true history of the area. The cave system is so enormous it has yet to be fully explored by modern man, yet what has been explored has revealed highly compelling features which cooperate earlier claims of an artificial origin. The Moritza portal, for example, named after Juan Moritza, the individual who claims to have originally discovered the metallic library, is clearly of an artificial nature. The question is, why go to such lengths to construct this natural-looking cave system? Was it all created merely to hide this library? And if so, how important could the information held within be? And why did such a find attract the attention of the first man on the moon? Could the astronaut know something we are yet to discover? Juan Moritza, signed to affidavit, dated 8th of July 1969, in which he confessed to a meeting with the Ecuadorian president, where he received complete control over his discovery, provided he could provide photographic evidence and an independent witness cooperating the discovery. When Moritza met with Von Däniken in 1972, he took him to a secret entrance through which they entered a large artificial hall within the cave system. Apparently, Von Däniken never got to see the library itself. He wrote in his book, The Gold of the Gods, quote, The passages all form perfect right angles. Sometimes they are narrow, sometimes wide. The walls are smooth and often seem to be polished. The ceilings are flat and at times look as if they were covered with a kind of glaze. My doubts about the existence of the underground tunnels vanished as if by magic, and I felt tremendously happy. Moritza said, passages like those extended for hundreds of miles under the soils of Ecuador and Peru, end quote. We feel the question now is, who went to these unimaginable efforts so far back within history? Why create such a place deep within the earth with such an intended illusion of natural origin if you did not seek to hide something? Many still believe that the truth is still hidden deep inside its unexplored caverns, a truth that will force us to completely rewrite the history of mankind. Are the legends true surrounding Cuevo de los Taos? Did it once indeed contain an ancient metallic library left to us by an ancient civilization? We find the evidence to suggest so highly compelling. We have in the past covered the fascinating legends and indeed recovered artifacts that have been found over the years within the Ecuadorian cave system, known locally as Cuevo de los Taos. The legends of the cave nearly all surround hidden treasures of lost ancient and giant civilizations, including the posit of an ancient yet inexplicable library room made entirely from a curious metallic formula. With caves with an intrigue, strong enough to even attract the attention of the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong. One began to wonder whether these legends be true, and when you bring Father Crespi's collection into the fold, the flurry of interest surrounding these legends, and indeed the artificial nature of some of the portions of the cave itself, all become easily explainable via such motives of discovery. Father Crespi, as the title would suggest, was a religious man and one who was highly philanthropic, and also incredibly interested in the artifacts of antiquity, and fortunately for him and us, the location in which he lived was steeped in lost ancient artifacts, all just waiting to be recovered. Father Crespi was a man of modest wealth, and in return for curious artifacts, often found within the Tios Cave, even reported to have given food in return for clear forgeries, offered by hungry individuals, although he would offer more and often money, respective of the artifacts clearly historical value. This allowed Father Crespi to gather a literal horde of authentic ancient artifacts, many clearly from this long claim to exist metallic library, his collection full of metallic plates of unknown writings and other fascinating metallic artifacts. The reason for our revisiting of these caves, and indeed the fascinating character that was Father Crespi, is our recent perusing of new information released on the cave, deliberately ignoring all aforementioned facts, including the artificial nature of some of the portions of the cave itself, in particular at entrances, as if reinforced with enormous ancient lintels. Unfortunately, all that remains of Father Crespi's collection, that can be confirmed as 100% his and authentic, now only exist within the photos taken of him with his collection prior to his death, whereas the horde of artifacts was ransacked and many replaced with poor quality forgeries. Thus, it is a mystery, and we believe conspiracy to conceal a lost history, which we find incredibly frustrating. We are frequently asked to cover the intriguing ancient documents of ancient Sumeria, and for good reason. For although the Sumerian king list is officially classified as an accurate and important chronographic document from ancient Mesopotamia, the lifespans of many of the oldest of its rulers are stated as having lived for upwards of 30,000 years. Furthermore, there is a noticeable steady decline in the duration of these rulers' lives, this gradual decline when seen in its complete translated form, if of course it is indeed an accurate documentation of history, displays a clear example of devolution over many thousands of years. It lists a long succession of cities in Sumer and the surrounding regions. The first fragment of the text, which is largely believed to date back at least 4,000 years, was found in the early 1900s by Hermann Hilbricht at the site of ancient Nippur with its discovery subsequently published in 1906. Since Hilbricht's discovery, at least 18 other fragments of the list have been found, most of them dating from the second half of the Issen dynasty. Yet this controversial claim of past ruler's ages is a reoccurring theme with many of these fragments reiterating these incredibly long lifespans. Furthermore, intriguingly, the Epic of Gilgamesh, perhaps the most famous still surviving contribution to world history dating back to Mesopotamia, is depicted as nothing short of a giant. Often depicted, carrying what is perceived as his pet lion, the cat however, appears far from tame, attempting to take a chunk from his arm, but due to Gilgamesh's relative size to his furry friend, merely appears as nothing more than a kitten when in his embrace. Could these claims of a 20,000-year lifespan be connected to the additional claim of many of the figures from this era's incredible sizes? Could heavy research and a subsequent in-depth expose regarding the reality surrounding the claims of the Mesopotamian civilization finally confirm the past existence of not only giants, but human beings whom after their derivation from divinity initially had lifespans stretching into 30,000 years? For as the list states, and I quote, after the kingship descended from heaven, they were situated within Aridung in Alulim. It is named after Aridung who became king. He ruled for 28,800 years, with Alijar subsequently ruling for 36,000 years after him, two kings who ruled for 64,800 years, end quote. As one would predict, such claims are simply dismissed by academics the world over. This is, of course, due to the tales of the king's immense longevity, and due to their own paradigms, one they are often funded to regurgitate would have simply been impossibility. Additionally, along with this starched denial to even consider such possibilities within mainstream study, this same fate befalls the countless gigantic unexplained megaliths found the world over. This is a clear example of how valuable academia perceives their illusionary, oracle-esque all-knowing regarding a complete history of human civilization. For if one was to consider such past individuals, having been responsible for the great pyramids for example, one could finally explain how, and indeed who, accomplished such ancient feats. But I digress. Could Mesopotamia be the key to unlocking many secrets hidden or lost within human history? We find such possibilities as highly compelling. Affectionately known as the Badlands Guardian, it is located near Medicine Hat, southeast Alberta, Canada. The feature is clearly of an uncanny likeness to that of a past Native American chief. Even from the air, the feature has been said by nearly all whom explore it to resemble a human head wearing a full traditional headdress, with his face gazing precisely westward. Although the chosen argument for its existence is it being the result of heavy rainfall, subsequently a ground-slip formation, those who use such dismissive techniques have forgotten to mention or deliberately ignore the formation's longevity and lack of morphing due to geological activity, a continual direct contradiction to these claims of geological culpability. There is a good reason we share and indeed find such curious features intriguing. We have for a long time explored many enigmatic possible ancient landmarks, many terrestrial and many much further afield. Denied dismissed on site due to cognitive dissonance, not only due to modern paradigm, an inability to time travel back to their date of construction and photographs at undertaking. Yet most persuasive, the unthinkable, unimaginable mind-boggling feats that if real, many of these now classified earthworks would have taken to achieve. There are few fields of study in our experience which causes such a divisive reaction and difference in opinions within antiquarian research, as there is within the field of ancient questionably possible peridolia. We recently shared an ancient mountain known as Pedra de Gavia, and although the claim faces erosion, regardless of geological or of artificial origins, is in the most severe final stages of natural entropy, with this eventual likeness fading into a geological feature to no longer distinguishably recognizable as a possible pre-Columbian face in the near future. We cited and shared other research, the geological evidence of the face's surface seemingly cut later, being far more recently exposed to the elements. Yet, regardless, many simply dismiss the feature due to its lack of any visually distinguishable features which, regardless of this site's possible natural origins, is a fate bestowed upon many of the truly oldest legacies of a lost world here on our planet. It must be noted that we do not claim to know these curious, often enormous landmark or stone-cut supposed monument or earthworks true origins, but the evidence to support it as indeed a possible achievement is enormous. The Nazca Lides, Derinkuyu, the wonders of Egypt, the astonishing acoustic marvels of the caverns created in Malta, and so on. Not to mention that countless demonstrative feats, evidence of their capability to indeed work and eventually transport stones of mammoth proportions, molded into blocks and astonishingly ancient displays of decorative artworks found all over the world, thus, regardless of the dismissals, we find the Badlands Guardian highly compelling.

If you want to jazz up your e-cam live overlays with flashy graphics around the outside just like this Then stick around because I'm going to show you how to do it. It takes almost no skill and zero cost Hello, and welcome to take one tech. My name is Alec and yes in this video We are talking all about how to create some slightly maybe upgraded snazzy graphics for your e-cam live overlays And maybe not be quite so boring like me and just have a static border around the outside I don't know if you like me, but when you've maybe watched other people's streams. Have you ever got overlay envy? Seeing all of the fancy graphics that they've got going on well I certainly have on occasion and usually you can probably bet that if somebody has those sorts of graphics in their overlays Then it's due to in a large part skill and expertise on the part of the creator in order to create those in a Graphics package of some form However, what I'm going to show you today is probably a little bit of a cheat It's a way that you can get a similar effect without the skill and without any cost If you are somebody who maybe doesn't have the time to learn to use such packages Or doesn't maybe have the the time to just actually make the graphics in the first place So this is just a little way around it You may be interested to know about and incidentally the overlays which I'm going to show you I basically made in around about 10 minutes. It's taken me before starting this video. So I'll just quickly show you the overlays that I've created So here we go. We've got the one I showed you at the beginning I'm not sure I can really carry these off to be honest as a As the on-screen talent, but there you go. I'll leave you to judge that It's probably a little bit too flashy for me, but there you go So we've got this as a sort of one-up view then we've got another one, which is a picture-in-picture Share or rather screen sharing I should say the next one is a sort of two-up Obviously Billy no mates here. Nobody joining me on this call The next one is a two-up obviously with a desktop Then we've got the three-up view when you're doing an interview mode Finally a four-up and one thing you'll notice about all of these is we've got this thing going on in the background And it is exactly the thing same thing that is going on in the background in each one And that is it is this video that is running So that is basically the little trick is to find a video like this That is a looping video that is just purely sort of abstract graphics Where would you find a video like that? Well, that is what I'm going to show you and I'm going to show you with Using the screen sharing that I've just created the screen sharing scene So here we are in Safari and this is my website if you haven't been already take one tech.io To find out about the gear that I use the link to my podcast my blog and various other different things But we don't look at that at the moment What we want to look at is this website, which is called pexels.com not pixels but pexels P-e-x-e-l-s I'll leave a link obviously down in the description I did a video previously all about another free stock image website called Unsplash and unsplash.com is another great resource for free stock imagery that you can use in your graphic overlays and so on But pexels is more orientated towards actual video. And so they do seem to have a bigger Video library than you would find on unsplash But once again, it is the same thing and in fact they claim that they are the best free stock photo and video Shared by talented creators. So that's their claim not mine I don't know that they're the best or not But they're certainly quite good for what we're looking for so all I did to find my little abstract video loop for the background is I funnily enough I typed in abstract loop and then searched in the videos You can search in the photos videos or so on but I did a little search in the video section and If this looks familiar first one nearly nearly at the top of the page That is the one that I just grabbed just as an example But as you can see they have got really quite a lot of different abstract backgrounds And you can just hover over them and get a little preview of what the video will look like when it's playing and Like this and like this and as I say it is free stock imagery and the reason why is because these are Creators who are basically showcasing their work and then also on the sites you will find every soften There'll be a link to other content on other platforms such as Shutterstock For example, which is a paid stock footage platform So this is where we can scroll down and just find something that takes our fancy So here you can go you can see there's an advert here for in this case iStock So that is another paid service. So that is how basically the site keeps going. It's by Promoting other paid stock footage Providers and if you click on one of these then it will take you through to some information about it And then also you'll be able to go and find more of their work and some of that is on paid sites as well So anyway, this is the site and this is where I got that stock footage from which was the one right at the top here And all I did was I downloaded that and if I just come back out of here And I'll give you a little quick demonstration of how easy it is to integrate this with your e-cam live because if I come into demo mode a second and I'll open this just blank screen So this is just a blank scene where I've got the source set as blank But you could actually just navigate to the video file by coming here go to choose file and then just find that File that you've just downloaded from pexels or we can simply just grab it from here and drag it onto the screen just like that Now usually as a default it will default to having picture-in-picture Just like that in the bottom corner, but then you can switch that off and you can add Camera overlays as you see fit. So this is how I sort of built up that scene was by just simply adding on a Camera if I just click on down here. So here we've got one camera and I could make that for example a custom size Something like that and then maybe I could add another one for another guest for the interview mode So I'd come over to here and I would add in here change this to say guest one And then I would change that to custom size and The overlays themselves the little borders that I had around it. I simply made those in Keynote I've already done a video on how to make board how to make overlays in keynote So I will leave a link to that in the description, but basically the borders are quite simple You can see them in this little folder down here. So my two up just looks like this it's literally just a purple border with a transparent background and then I did these in keynote and then I had a color in the middle of the two boxes and Then I just keyed those out using instant alpha in preview after I'd exported them This is all explained in the video. I did all about creating overlays in keynote. So I won't bore you by Covering that all again there, but then simply I just drag this onto the frame here onto the scene rather and then it's just a Case of lining these up like this Like this and like this and in literally Creating these borders in keynote it takes matter of minutes and Exporting them into here takes a matter of minutes. And so there we go. I've now got a whole new set of graphic overlays which Look a little bit more jazzy than simple borders And so I'm sure if you have a look in the pexels website, you may be able to find something that looks Looks quite good and in keeping with your your theme and certainly as I say It's just a quick and easy way to add some interest without having to be a graphic design expert And I hope you have found that useful And if you have found that useful then don't forget to go and like and subscribe to the channel and turn on Notifications so that you get notified whenever I do make another video and you see it looks boring already We're back to my boring old scene borders. Oh well, never mind As I say, I hope you found that useful and don't go anywhere because I've got more great videos coming up right now on the Right-hand side. Have a great day everyone. Bye. Bye

Star Trek Into Darkness. So tonight's 2 hour and 12 minute movie is going to be just what the title says. This is like going back to the original Star Trek characters with Captain Picard, Captain Kirk and Spock. And who's the Doctor? Bones, Tick-Off. We get to see the young versions of all of them. And also you could say that some of their personality traits that were pretty common in that first year you really get to see the character development because they go back. This is when Kirk hasn't had his first kind of being the Captain. He's still aspiring to do that. And yet they know each other back then. And there's like all kinds of, I think some of all of the major themes we were talking about, loyalty today. There's all kinds of beliefs in friendship and loyalty. And we were talking about no people pleasing because Spock is very logical and is not really in touch with emotions. So he doesn't seem to filter or censor anything around trying to not hurt anybody's feelings. He's just straight out there with everything. And the contrast between that and James Kirk who he's pretty much like, you know, don't worry if you break a few rules. It's more of what you're going for than the concern about breaking rules. So he will cut corners or break rules or stretch the truths they say or bend things and so on and so forth. And he seems to be the much more passionate one at the beginning. And the one who will, you know, stick his neck out or cover for somebody, you know, if it would protect them in some way or whatever. So it's actually, I just think this is a great, among all the great Star Trek, this is really good. I saw it in 3D and I thought it was amazing graphics. And also there's a character in there which they, who seems to be pretty far advanced in their eyes, but they just have this hunch that they can't really trust him, but they don't seem to have any options. So it's one of those things like we just watched the draft day where it was about working through compromise. I think this is another movie of working through compromise. And I think in draft day there was some pretty good striking contrast, but nothing like this. I mean, Spock and Kirk, as far as two main characters in a series, they're kind of at opposite ends of personality. So it creates some really fantastic dynamics at trying to get at what's real and what's true underneath the duality, the perceived duality and everything. So it's quite an adventure. Is everyone buckled in? Jessica's going to put her seatbelt on. And you've got the remote, right? Okay. Great. I hope you've caught those lines at the end to the purpose to remember who we once were and who we must be. That was, you know, that's the whole purpose. And then right before that, there was a talk about, it was really aiming at the forgiveness about while we're sleeping, really not getting into destroying those that seem to mean as harm. That's for the temptation of the world, the temptation to perceive somebody's attacking us. And really they aren't. It's just the attack thoughts in the mind make it seem like there are people and people that are attacking other people. It's just a giant projection of attack, which really is the underlying belief that you can attack God is not in awareness at all. So all people perceive are the wars and all the dramas of people physically and psychologically seeming to attack each other every day, which is what the news is filled with every day. But it's not showing what's really gone on in the mind. It's just protecting this attack thought that you could pull your mind away from God. So that was really a pretty profound kind of line too. We could even run it back to get the exact line. It came right before the remembering who we once were and who we must be and the thing, but it was really that it was like not, he's giving his talk, you know, his speech, but it was like just the best you can not give into the temptation. And it fits with that movie that we saw yesterday about Days of Future Pest where they're so tempted to react to what they perceive as this attack and defense thing even when they have to come back into the past back in the 1973, they go there and pretty much the Charles character, the one played by Patrick Stewart is saying, I'm not the man that you know me as now. I didn't have my powers back then and I'm just not the one. He had a lot of seeming pain and hurt about losing his leg, the use of his legs and about the character that, I don't know what her name was, Jennifer Lawrence played Lumethe that was kind of blue. He had a lot of misgivings because he felt that she had kind of left him and gone with Magneto, whatever that character was. So there was all these grievances just festering and all this immaturity and then sent back into all that, which is what we could call Planet Earth now, this is 1973. Because the mind is so tempted to give in to the beliefs that someone can be hurt and then the beliefs that something has to be protected, something has to be defended. And now that's in this seeming parable of David, that's what kept arising and arising and arising all the time is this idea of protectionism or wanting to defend something or wanting to see something in a certain way. I loved it in this movie and also in Days of Future Past where there's this sense of even the ones that seem to be lost, the ones that seem to turn away, I love it in this movie how Kirk makes a decision to just let Scotty go. Scotty's like a very valued member of the crew and he's got to make a decision to just say them go and to point check off. So that's one of his own, his own family he had to let go of. And then it's kind of interesting that just when he's needed most, Scotty's drunk and having his conversation with his little mate, the funny looking thing and so he's got to come back, he gives him the coordinates, he has to say what's the third number, he's pretty far gone. But he's never lost, he's never out of the picture. And I think the same thing was in that Days of Future Past where it seemed like that certain characters were kind of spinning out like the Magneto character and Jennifer Lawrence, yep she was spinning out. And during our time we've had different ones that seemed to spin out in different ways but to not lose focus of the purpose, like the purpose is to remember who we were and who we must be, the Christ. That's like the main thing underneath it all, regardless of how things seem to play in form, to not get caught and to interpreting the form in any way. So really it's don't interpret anyone staying or leaving or spinning out or staying true and all these different temptations are really just temptations to misperceive, to make it seem personal, to make it seem not the moment, which is just that it's all simultaneous. And that's what I liked about Days of Future Past, it seems like the Jennifer Lawrence character finally had to let go of the grievance that was all centered on her letting go of the grievance so that there really is no future, that's just a projection of the past. But as long as you hold on to the grievance then it seems like the past isn't the past. It seems like it's still active, it's still happening. And there's still an impetus to try to change it, to fix somebody, to control something, to defend something, you know that's where the temptation comes in. Instead of just to see it as it is, completely whole, you know it's no problem whatsoever, like there's never been a problem in the field, in forgiveness, there's never, there's no problems. That's why when we had that question yesterday, you know, if guilt is hell what is its opposite? And we kind of started going through, it couldn't be innocence because innocence doesn't have an opposite. And in that sense metaphorically, you might say that the opposite of hell, which is distorted perception is healed perception, which is what forgiveness is. It's an illusion too, but it's a necessary acceptance of an illusion that is the healing illusion. You can't go from distorted perception back into reality because it's too big of a leap. It's just too far, it's too much. There has to be something in the middle, even if it's an illusion, it doesn't matter. It has to lead you away from the rest. And that's the forgiveness. That's what the whole focus is on, the miracle, forgiveness, and of course the Atonement is the ultimate of forgiveness, the first miracle, the last miracle, and all the miracles in between. It's really, it's the forgiven world, it's the happy dream. It's the real world that Jesus talks about. It's the healed world. It's the world that's unified. It's simultaneous. That's what heals. If the problem is linear time, the solution must be simultaneity. If it had to be, there couldn't be any other solution. It's still got the time idea, simultaneous time. It's just everything seemingly is happening at once. But that's a more accurate description. That's a forgiveness description of time. But the ego tries to make it linear. And that's something that all the great teachers in Saints and Mystics have taught. It's something we are focusing on and emphasizing in all of our teachings, it will become more and more the central teaching that the time is simultaneous. If there's really, the past is gone, the future is but imagined, total escape from the past, total lack of an interest in the future. This idea of the trick of cause and effect, which there's been so many teachings that have come through on reversing cause and effect, but actually coming to start to see that there is no cause and effect in this world. And that's what the ego is most resistant to. It'll be all kind of intellectual defenses, all kind of that's not practical, that's too big of a leap and whatever, but that's actually what this is about. I had some old teachings on that and I remember Jeffrey Lake on time. I think I did one called reversing cause and effect, which is just a step towards seeing that there really is no cause and effect in linear time. And he said he played that tape or that session over like six or seven times before he could even start to the resistance to recognizing that is enormous because it's so simple. It's like it wipes out every conceivable problem in terms of the way the ego makes it because the ego made up separate cause and effect, that there's causes in time and there's effects in time, whether it's around the body or the world or economics or science or any way that's all part of a giant scheme to keep in place this idea that there are causes in time and then effects that follow. So this happens, then that happens. And that even down to physics, for every action there's a reaction. That's not true either. That's Newtonian. We were talking about Jessica landing. Isaac didn't No, don't tell me. No, that's like getting to the most core. He says you know that it's all simultaneous. We can do a nice little animation on that. Just because everyone seemingly on the planet, most everyone has been raised with Newtonian and it's the quantum that's been around for like going on six decades and still it's not catching on after six decades. It's that much resistance. We're still teaching in a lot of classrooms they'll probably teach Newtonian and then they'll put some paragraphs, a little dab of quantum at the end because it's like the rebel science but it's still like Newtonian and Newtonian. We're more exposed to quantum because it's a reflection of where our mind's at but it's quite amazing. Quantum supply runs. Going to, like Joe was saying, feeling a little guilt going into the pantry and getting offered all that food that's quantum too. It used to be the days of St. Francis they'd be out there hacking away most of the day trying to harvest grains so they could make some bread or working for others who were doing it hoping that they would get throwing some bread. Now we go to the pantry and it's like oh, it gets huge. That's quantum. You're not earning a living. You're not earning anything. Neither do you have to start to put your mind into trying to think about earning a living. How rare that is, how quantum that is to be free from that. That seems to be so pervasive that it seems like there's millions and millions of people acting out that trick and just trusting. Whether you seem to have no money or no debts or whether Jessica's had to have the faith even in the face of seeming debts. Quantum is quantum physics baby. Love radiates undefined. That song is like a theme song. In the face of whatever it is, again they had to do in this movie. They had to really keep the faith. There's one danger after the next. That's of course how the ego keeps the mind trapped by throwing it out as if there's linear time dangers. The only so-called danger to peace of mind is believing in linearity. That's dangerous to peace of mind. Not in reality but in terms of waking up and sleeping it's like you don't want to hold on to that belief because then you'll just have nightmares. Whether it's your daytime dreams or your nighttime dreams there's going to be characters in there where you seem to be a character and there seem to be other characters and those other characters don't mean you well. It can be shocking. You might get some really good teaching dreams in there but then the occasional one will come in of betrayal or abandonment or rejection. Kind of like that movie that Mel Gibson was in. Braveheart. Where he goes all the way to the end and everybody gets it and he's got this one that he has so much faith that he can trust. When that character turns out to be the betrayal character then as you see it in his face his heart seems to be crushed. That's what gets enacted out in so-called romantic love relationships because there's a sense of you and me against the world that there's somehow a partner that's going to be the one that's going to stay true and then it's shocking. It's like a little shock to the system when that partner doesn't seem to expectation with anything including like with a partner where I think of that movie, I remember seeing Braveheart and you follow that movie and it's like the Mel Gibson character keeps the faith and then boom when this character turns out to be untrue or un-honorable or betrayal and so on and so forth and it's like it seems to crush his state of mind but those are just one of those things of another temptation. All that is is another temptation to believe in linear time. It's nothing more than that. It's just a misinterpretation to believe things in a linear way. Just a total misinterpretation. It has no validity or reality whatsoever and yet everything in this world that's the baseline. Mom and Dad and society and whatever sports and all the things are valued as really important, like family. It's not seen as totally impossible not that it's bad but it's just absolutely impossible that there could ever be a linear family. It's absolutely possible that there could be a linear country. When everybody likes the John Lennon song, imagine there's no country nothing to kill or die for, a brotherhood of men, you could feel the heart chords going and really imagine there's no country or even imagine there's no heaven. People would put that in there and they would say oh I wish he'd left that out. Heaven is not part of the imagination and if you try to imagine country or heaven or partnership or anything and you talk with the imagination that's linear it's not that it's bad, it's not that it's wrong we might say it's wrong-minded, it's a misinterpretation but what does wrong-minded mean except in the end impossible? Wrong doesn't mean wrong as we thought of it, it just means impossible, it's just absolutely impossible Jesus says time and eternity cannot coexist and you might even take one more step and say simultaneous time and linear time cannot coexist. One is an accurate perception and one is a misperception and even though they're both illusions, neither have anything to do with eternity, simultaneous time or linear time it's the simultaneous time that's closer, it's in closer alignment and when it says God will take the final step in the course God doesn't take steps, God doesn't, oneness doesn't take steps humans maybe believing they're waking up can seem to take steps but God does not, it says that in the course God will take the final step, all that's doing is putting it in again in human terms but what the meaning of that is God will take the final step really is that creation just simply is we say God is and we cease to speak, that's what creation is, it just is what it is, in fact it has no opposite, it's just eternity, it's just pure spirit but it's beyond the curriculum so that's why our focus is always on forgiveness or atonement or simultaneous time and even for movies like this one or they's a future past it's kind of cute that an adventure, they're sent on an adventure to go back to the past to find the forgiveness to make the correction and then when they do seem to do it, the whole crazy dark world just completely, basically the characters disappeared from it, it was kind of neutralized it wasn't like it looked, it just basically the characters all were gone and so I wouldn't say you could look for forgiveness in the past but you can allow the Holy Spirit to take you into an experience of simultaneous time, you cannot wake yourself Jesus says but you can allow the Holy Spirit to wake you and that's just allow your mind just had that be your desire, just had that be your single focus, your single purpose to experience simultaneous time and put faith in nothing else like it be very single minded to have that singularity of that one purpose just to experience simultaneous time and nothing else matters you can literally laugh at everything else from simultaneous in linear time it's more of like it's a little bit of distorted humor, you're laughing but underneath it's like you're crying yeah it's not really full blown Holy Spirit humor simultaneous humor, that we could do, that's why it was funny when we were talking about Jessica going back to like Newton and Copernicus because it was what was being taught, the simultaneous that is the funny part and it's even funny the thought that someone could resist you know resist simultaneous, why do we laugh at that? because that's what's happening with everything whenever anything happens it seems to be serious, it's not serious really nothing is serious that's a quote we'll put that on Facebook nothing is serious or what's the one that you put in your mix, you literally are your brother you're not your brother's keeper you are your brother, that was from Blue Mountains or that part in the I Need You Nothing section where Jesus says your way will be different instead of like long periods of tedious time consuming meditation contemplation, a holy relationship is given you as your means of saving time and salvation, then he goes on to describe what a holy relationship is, you and your brother are together, that's his explanation of holy relationship, it's just saying time is simultaneous, he could have just as well said time is simultaneous but he said it in terms of his course framework, you and your brother are together that's not that you're not forgiving somebody else it's like you're releasing the belief that there are people, that you're a person, that they're people that's what's simultaneous about it, how could persons exist in simultaneous time if all the images are all there together and always have been, then there's really nothing fragmenting or breaking apart and multiplicity has no meaning no meaning, there could be duality has no meaning but certainly in multiplicity has absolutely no meaning and if there's no multiplicity and there's no linear time then what does the word more mean remember that part in the Beyond All Idol section Jesus starts it off with what is an idol, do you think you know an idol is for more of something it does not matter more of what, in simultaneous time there is no more, no more and now we keep talking about that Psalm, the 23rd Psalm, the Psalm of David the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want where does wanting arise in linear time, but if everything is simultaneous what could wanting mean what would wanting even mean or wanting more, what would that concept even mean in simultaneous time, more of what, if everything is simultaneous it's a sneaky device that's so valued in linear, more bigger, better, more, new improved brand new, you know that's what all the marketing is in terms of the product placement, the Truman Show, more, more, more, more it's a future, really because more is never now linear time yeah, the gateway to love is through it's not through more, years ago Kim Carnes did a song more love and more joy and space and time could ever destroy but still it's not, it doesn't make any sense more love, more joy what could that even mean, you see how tricky tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky it was an interesting, Jackie showed us I don't know why she showed us one of Kim's Carnes videos about duality and non-duality and Lisa was talking about you know, the world doesn't change, like it still seems to be chaotic and like messy, that's what she called it and for me, I didn't actually, until I heard that I didn't realize that I had that like fantasy of, oh yeah, you know this path, while opening up my mind, this is going to get better and it's not going to be messy anymore that was really important for me to watch that and actually have that disillusion with that because it was always about, always going to be better it's going to be smooth, everything's going to be, you know, it was still about the form being in a certain way and that was also that linear time thing I didn't actually realize how stressful that concept still was to hold on to that still better, yeah yeah, it's going to be better I'm doing this work so it'll get better, yeah, what a trick yeah, because it was, I didn't actually realize it until a few days later we watched it and I was like, oh she's great, this is cool she's so much like fun to watch and like join in her mind and then it was like, there was a slight feeling of, I couldn't quite understand what I was feeling it was just like, something in there I didn't like and then I realized a few days later that concept of, oh, that dream is not going to come true fantasy isn't going to happen maybe yeah, like smooth is an interpretation and smooth you could say it could be the Holy Spirit's interpretation if it's harmonious and easy and everything but that doesn't dictate and define form it's quite the opposite, it's like when you go into everything flowing be in the flow, the capital flow, things going smoothly that's all a very, very, very, very high interpretation of, it's all simultaneous but there's no things aren't ever going to get better, that always sounds so funny on earth but that's presuming that things are the way that they aren't, the very mentality that says better, it's a song, it's pure bliss it doesn't get better than this, it doesn't get better than this if you really open your heart up to what this is then you can actually sing that song, it's pure bliss it doesn't get better than this, this being the present moment, this being simultaneous time this, it doesn't get better than this there is no better, because there is no more, there's nothing else but simultaneous and that's what you can feel it more like with Lisa Cairns, you can feel the vibe there's a joyful, playful, laughing, happy vibe that comes from that and it's not understandable to linear time linear time goes, it's a bit suspicious of that joy or that happiness or that laughter, it's a bit suspicious it will try to, linear time is always trying to dispel that joy and happiness, cover it over go back on emphasizing the past and the future and covering over the present moment almost like that's not real reasonable because it's actually a state that goes beyond the opposites Lisa was saying that her teacher, her teacher slash boyfriend Roger you know, he was very articulate and he seemed to always have the right words and could describe things and yet the only way to feel and be and experience it is to see the absolute possibility of linear time, there's not a way that then everything falls apart the idea of intellectual, what does that even mean in simultaneous time, or the head versus the heart people say don't live in your head, live in your heart, what is that? there isn't a head and a heart in simultaneous time, in the present moment those are artificial constructs or in that state of mind it doesn't oppose anything so there's not a making wrong with anything so somebody could say whatever it wouldn't be like an energy of making wrong it would be just a joy, oftentimes it's just a watching there's nothing to say or do it's just that presence is so strong and that's the answer right there that state of mind, it's not, there aren't any intellectual answers and really there aren't any conceptual answers at all which makes it fun, once you just have that experience that there are no conceptual answers to anything, you can have so much fun, you could have Stephen Hawking's all of this and that, some of this was recent things, I was reading recently somebody said that he definitively came out, oh it was in that God's Not Dead movie where basically, I guess Stephen Hawking's highly, highly, highly respected astrophysicist was basically, was dispelling the notion of God and saying that using gravity is an example that gravity invented itself and then the guy who's in God's Not Dead just started to point out through different philosophers that that's just circular reasoning saying something came into being because it created itself and that was like the reasoning, that was like the core defense and it's like, that's the exact thing that we're being shown that you can create yourself and that you can't get something from nothing but that ultimately spirit is everything and spirit is creative and so everything is spirit and like Mary Baker Eddy said, there's no mind in matter, there's no life, truth, substance, intelligence in matter, all she was really saying is there's no spirit in linear time so we don't have to have sacred sites and sacred avatars and sacred people and this and this because there is no spirit in linear time and all those things are of linear time, now simultaneously time that's as close as it gets to spirit, that's not even spirit but what a joyful, happy, loving, peaceful perspective that time is simultaneous that's everything, this happy little presence within you that's to everything of linearity because it's not so not because it's wrong because it's not so that's the Holy Spirit's humor it doesn't condone anything or make anything wrong it's because of what it is I don't know if it's helpful or if I'm skipping steps but if I remind myself I'm dreaming I do that and it seems to just pull me back I guess if I go on all I feel it feels like a restful place, like if I'm in a crowded area or a tension it's building around me and I'm just like I'm dreaming it feels good and I can relax and I actually feel that that is the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit is so placeful in my mind that there's this sense of how we like jingles and music so much that the Holy Spirit will do that very thing but for me now it's always like in a song and that's the very direct way like I'll just be there I'll just be started to be serenaded by the Holy Spirit dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream it's the beginning of a very very very famous song but there's so much joy behind that and it's all we got one word really in it being like a checkout line little girls are singing little girls are singing that will help you check out that little song will check you out time and space really quick I just put it together all these folks they're doing this because it's their passion they're not making a bank account this is like their dream to explore and I mean they're explorers I mean that's what we're doing food pantry spirit supporting us and inspiration it's all collapsing into that one experience I just saw it yesterday I think that they had these two writers and they were reminiscing with these two Star Trek two guys because these two writers were writers for Star Trek Next Generation and all of the data and all of them were very famous it was the first generation which Captain Kirk and Spock and Sulu and all of these and then there was the next generation and then of course Deep Space Nine and it continued on but they got to the point where they were going to do a finale a season finale and the end of the Star Trek Next Generation series years of absolute magnificent stuff that JP and Jason have been pulling from all these great great great episodes and making many movies and mind meld and well we've got so many of them if you just watched them they're just amazing tools but they got to the final episode and the producers said okay well we're going to have a final episode but it's not going to be an hour we're going to wrap it all up all those seasons of Next Generation with a two hour season finale and you're going to write the two hour season finale it's got to be good it's got to be real good because we're ending this next generation I think it was like six or seven years it was on no pressure but you know you've got to write these two guys a season finale and they said it was spectacular but not only did that happen but that was the time on these Star Trek movies like the one we watched was coming along and they said oh and by the way we want you to write this the next Star Trek movie and they were given that task simultaneously to write this the finale for the next generation and a whole new Star Trek movie and they did it these guys had their picture I guess it was like yesterday was the anniversary of the end of the next generation so they were reminiscing and they had not even viewed that last episode of all these years it was so they were so in the moment doing it writing a whole movie and doing that and then but then it was just I'd say it was channeled and that's what we're doing here we're literally every single day and every single moment where this is channeling spirit and it may seem to be around what the world judges is mundane things like going to a pantry around or strapping up something moving supplies we call them quantum supply runs you know those are everything the whole universe is right there in that simultaneous it's the feeling the experience of the supply run where you're just in the joy of it it's not a task being done for somebody else or for the future or whatever it's like everything is right there that's your Star Trek movie today

Hello everyone, this is Dr. Rishi Ruporkar. I'm a third year radiologist resident from Tobiwala National Medical College and Tobiwala National Medical Hospital, Mumbai. Today, we'll talk about toll of MRI in acute hypoglycemic brain injury. The brain relies heavily on glucose of optimal functioning because the neurons have a high metabolic rate and can neither generate nor store significant amounts of glucose. Increased plasma glucose can jeopardize normal neuronal homeostasis over a period of minutes. Relatively stable plasma glucose levels are therefore essential for survival and are maintained through a highly complex network of enzymes, hormones, and signaling mechanisms with insulin playing a dominant role. Acute hypoglycemic brain injury can cause major morbidity and significant mortality. It is associated with DM type 2 being more common than type 1. It encompasses diabetic ketosis, hypoglycemic hyperosmolar state, hypoglycemia-induced hemicorea hemipalaceanus. Lab investigations, they show raised plasma glucose levels and raised serum HB1C. Ketoneemia and ketoneuria are seen in diabetic ketosis. However, they are absent or minimal in the other two states. The first case we have, a 56-year-old female who presented to us with blurring of vision and irritability since one month. She was a known case of type 2 DM. On examination, the motor examinations have been normal, higher mental functions have been normal. Kinelegal examination, it showed decreased vision and bilateral eyes, rest of the clinical levels have been normal. Sensory system investigation was normal. Other system examinations were unremarkable. Lab investigations we saw serum glucose was raised, HB1C was raised, blood and urine ketones were absent. Rest of the lab work was unremarkable. NCCT brain showed no significant abnormality on MRI. We saw restricted diffusion on DWI-IDC, subtle T2 flare hyperintensive and subtle booming on FFE images involving the white matter of left parietal and occipital lobe. The second case we have, a 43-year-old male who was a known case of diabetes type 2, presented with certain onset focal seizures and loss of consciousness for a brief period. On examination, the motor examination was normal, higher mental functions, the patient was lethargic. Kinelegal examination was normal, sensory and other systemic examination were normal and unremarkable. Lab investigation we saw random RBS was raised, HB1C was raised, blood and urine ketones were positive. The patient had hyponetrium and hypochillinia. The serum bicarbonates were low. And rest of the work was unremarkable. So basically the patient was in diabetic ketoneosis. MRI, excel sections of MRI brain showed an ill-defined area of T2 flare hyperintensity instead of cortical white matter involving the right parietal region with multifocal patchy areas of diffusion restriction involving the overlying gray matter. The third case we have as a 58-year-old female was not a known case of any major illnesses who presented to us with certain onset development of continuous non-rhythmic involuntary movements involving left half of body, that is hemibalasmas and hemicorrhea since one week, the symptoms they resolved during sleep. On examination, the left upper and lower extremity, hemibalasmas and hemicorrhea like movements were seen, higher mental functions, gradient of examination, sensory system examination and general examination were normal. We saw raised RBS, NHB1C as lab investigation, the blood and urine ketones were negative and rest of the lab work was unremarkable. On NCCT brain, we saw a hyperdensity in the right lentiform nucleus. On MRI brain, we saw hyperintensity signal on T1 with pulse contrast enhancement in right lentiform nucleus, no signal alteration on T2 flare, no blooming on FFE and no restriction diffusion on BWYN ADC. To conclude, hyperglycemia is not uncommon and can show myriad of imaging findings. The presentation is often non-specific and objective findings of HCHB memory loss, hemiparesis and often coma clinically moving stroke. In acute settings, these patients invariably undergo an NCCT of the head initially. It may be occasionally useful, but it's often non-dognistic, particularly in case of HSS. MR imaging is a study of choice in these cases and is often used to determine diagnosis and prognosis. A timely and accurate diagnosis could expedite correct treatment and limit neuronal injury in the early stage when changes are potentially impossible. Thank you.

Osinbajo Highlights Collaboration Between Universities And Philanthropy

Commissioning Of KAAF Auditorium, Department Of Human Nutrition & Dietetics, University Of Ibadan When private philanthropy is combined with the public good, especially in higher education, the impacts are far-reaching, and the benefits are for everyone, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN. Prof. Osinbajo stated this at the commissioning of the N350 million Kensington Adebukunola Adebutu Foundation (KAAF) Auditorium, Department Of Human Nutrition And Dietetics, at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State. He also spoke at the University College Hospital in the same town where he commissioned significant rehabilitation projects. According to the Vice President, the commissioning at the University of Ibadan highlighted two important things - "relevant ideation, research and teaching, and the power of philanthropy in supporting development ideas." Noting that "the most advanced nations on earth have the best universities," Prof. Osinbajo said "they all indeed have traditions of investment in research, and the best examples are those countries where private and public investment in education is robust. Research in those best practice countries is directed at solving health, technology, engineering, and many societal problems." **************************** The official YouTube channel for Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, GCON.

It really is a very special pleasure and a privilege to join you all here today at this special commissioning of this great edifice. Two important ideas converge here today. The first is the importance of relevant ideation, research, and teaching. The second is the power of philanthropy, especially in supporting development ideas. The most advanced nations on earth have the best universities. They all indeed have traditions of investment in research, and the best examples are those countries where private and public investment in education is robust. Research, as you heard from the provost of the College of Medicine, in those best practice countries is crucial, is fundamental, and is directed at solving health, technology, engineering, and a myriad of societal problems. The university is the place where the best ideas and solutions are produced, and they are fine-tuned for use. It's not merely an ivory tower. And I just want to make the point, and I think Professor Miwudu quoted all very accurately, about the importance of research and the place of the University of Ibadan, for example, in the rankings, compared to some of the private universities in particular, I think she mentioned, Covenant University. I'm professor of law myself. I spend practically all my years teaching and researching. So I know the problems very well, and I also happen to know, to a certain extent, some of the solutions. And you see, the easiest thing in the world is to blame the government, oh, that's so easy. Everyone can say, oh, government must do more research, well, government must pay more, government must pay more. The government already pays two-thirds of its budget on personnel, two-thirds. So the best universities in the world, and some of the universities that you've been to, I'm sure that you've seen, are universities where there is aggressive fundraising, aggressive fundraising. A whole department, in many of the best universities, Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, all the best universities, have very aggressive departments solely committed to marketing the university and fundraising, solely committed. For example, one of the, I went to the University of Lagos, so that's my alma mater. But I also went to the London School of Economics, that's the University of London. Every month, unfailingly, I get a letter from the London School of Economics asking me to give money. Even if it's 10 pounds, they're always aggressively marketing me, and I've been getting this letter since I left in 1981, unfailingly every month. I get no letter from the University of Lagos. Not one. Nobody has ever come to me to say, are you alumnus? Come and do it. No. And I'm sure it's the same here at the University of Ipadu. There has to be aggressive marketing. No government in the world can ever fund universities to the extent that is required. No government. It has to be aggressively marketed. We have to have programs that we're selling so that the university is making money. It is the private money that sustains universities. Today, Harvard has about $52 billion, more than we have in our reserves. All private money. All private money. So we must aggressively, if Professor Atimo didn't go to Syracuse, but we won't be sitting here, as aggressive marketing, he had to go and talk. That's how it's done. So let us look at what can be done to aggressively market. This is the premier university in the country, the first university in the country. It shouldn't have problems with funding. You should not. There's enough money out there. There's enough money out there, and you can be aggressive about getting this money. The Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, it's an important one. And this is because of the great challenges we have in human nutrition today. For the past three years, and I think the point has been made, taking a very active interest in nutrition as chair of the Nutrition Council of Nigeria, and the issues are grave. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, poverty has deepened. Our malnutrition and unhealthy dietary practices have created unique threats to health and productivity for a large segment of our population. A large number of children are undernourished or malnourished, and malnutrition and food insecurity has just made it harder for children to learn and to gain the skills and knowledge that is required to succeed in the workplace. But worse is the mental and physical stunting that is irreversible. So imagine a whole generation of adults who have arrested physical and mental health and the social and economic burden that that places on communities and places on the nation. Imagine the implications of possibly 50% of our population being at risk of irreversible mental and physical stunting if we don't get it right. So I think the work of this foremost institution and this department is well cut out for it. We now have to hone in research. And I think that a lot has been done already. I've looked up quite a bit of the research that this department in particular is doing. And I think we need to hone in the research on public health nutrition. Nutrition and agricultural linkages almost pay attention to food fortification. Nigeria has the capacity locally to manufacture ready to use therapeutic foods, the so-called RUTF, energy, vitamin and mineral rich foods that are used to treat severe acute malnutrition in the country. We also have the potential to produce enough of that RUTF for the whole of Africa. And the projections are that the price of ready to use therapeutic foods is going to increase. That's a projection that with all the food chain problems you have all over the world, these prices are going to increase. So there's a big market there. There's a big economic opportunity there. There are big research opportunities as well. We must research the cheaper options and formulas. I'm aware that the department has played a pivotal role in the national food consumption and micronutrient survey and is a center of excellence for food composition in Nigeria. We must now engage with the government and the public sector so that relevant research must benefit our people. That engagement is so crucial. I found, for example, working on the nutrition council that there isn't enough engagement with the universities. I think it's only the Amadoubello University that has representation today on the nutrition council. Now, this is the foremost department. So this department ought to have representation. And a lot of the research that has been done, there has to be synergy with the public institutions, with the government and all that. Because it's the government that can really use this research. I mean, there's a lot of money being spent on nutrition. We are now creating in every federal ministry. There must be a department of nutrition. So opportunities are being created every day. And these opportunities must be taken by those whose color shape and whose hard work has created the ideas around nutrition. So I think that that synergy between the department here and the government is a very important one. Fortunately, also, many of our food manufacturing partners, such as Dangote, Boa, and Honeywell, are already doing interesting work on food fortification. Perhaps they too should be approached for funding research here. I know that the Canadians do some funding of research here in the department. But there are many of these food companies, Dangote, Boa, who have resources, who were engaging as a government, and who can also fund research if they are approached and if they are aggressively followed up. They will give the resources. The other point of convergence today, and I said there are two points of convergence, is private philanthropy and the public good. Again, the most advanced nations on earth, especially liberal democracies, have traditions of private philanthropy, contributing massively to the development of universities and research. This is why we're also excited about the donation by Chief Kersent in Adebutu, otherwise known as Baba Jebu. I'm sure that for those who think Jebus is stingy, I'm sure you must be thinking differently. I'm sure you must be thinking differently now. Chief Adebutu is one of the most prominent philanthropists in Nigeria. And although he tends to be relatively quiet about his giving, but I know that he's also someone who is so cerebral and well-educated himself that in my conversations with him, you can tell that his concerns about national development, about education, about public health care, human capital development, those are the kinds of issues that concern him. And I know that this sort of support for education is exactly what he loves to do. So I think we should press Chief Adebutu a bit more beyond this auditorium. We should have in this department a Chief Kersent in Adebutu research grant for human nutrition and dietetics. We should have. And trust me, trust me, is not a big deal for him. Just trust me, it's not. So if you go and talk to him properly about this, perhaps Professor Attimo might help again in this respect. And I recall how he first was here. These are people who can whisper a few things in his ears. And I'm sure we'll get some results. I'm glad that he has continually set the pace in supporting human capital development. Through his huge donations, he's also denated, as we've heard, to the University of Lagos. This is the way it must be. Government budgets alone can hardly scratch the surface of our numerous developmental needs. Private capital must kick in and positively directed philanthropy is the best course to take. But the coming together of philanthropy and the needs of universities required forward-looking individuals who understand this synergy. University officials must approach the private people. I think this point has been made. Private people in developing countries have several causes and people making daily requests of them. If you look at the number of requests that are made to well the individuals in Nigeria, it's a daily thing, unlike in many other countries. And people are asking for everything, school fees, give school fees, medical fees. People are always asking. So every public institution that wants philanthropy and wants donations must be aggressive. A whole well-resourced department, and I think this is so important, we just need a department dedicated completely to chasing up donors, to chasing up all the well the individuals. And the good thing is that for every donation that is made, every donation that is made to causes such as this, to social causes, there can also be a tax benefit for the donor. And this is something that we've worked out. We have, for example, the tax credit scheme. Which many big donors have taken advantage of. The road tax credit scheme. So if a donor decides, for example, say a dangote, decides to build a road. And they've done this many times. If they build a road, they get a tax credit for it. And they will build a road in a place that makes sense for them close to their factories and things like that. So we can encourage philanthropy, you know, by ensuring that we target the philanthropy and our request to the tax, to place the causes that are tax-adoptable for the donors, just to make it much more attractive to the donors themselves. But for taking and maintaining the initiative, we must commend the efforts again of Professor Atimo, who pioneered the request to Chief Adibutu. And as we've heard, this was as far back as 2012. And Dr. Thomas Adibutu, who I think it was in 2018, who followed up this request, presented a plan and design to Chief Adibutu and showed the donor the initial costs and all that. So again, let me, on behalf of the visitor to this university, President Mohamudubuari, thank the patriotic and forward-looking philanthropist, Chief Kezintin Adibutu, for the wonderful support given to the University of Abaddon's Department of Nutrition and Dietetics. Dietetics. It is my special privilege and pleasure to officially then commission the KAF auditorium of the Department of Human Nutrition and Dietetics for the use of the students and staff of the department and the benefit of the Nigerian people and to the glory of the almighty God. Thank you.

Live from San Francisco, California, it's theCUBE. Covering the IBM Chief Data Officer Summit. Brought to you by IBM. We're back at Fisherman's Wharf, covering the IBM Chief Data Officer event. The 10th anniversary, you're watching theCUBE, the leader in live tech coverage. Just off the keynotes, Martin Schroeder is here, as the Senior Vice President of IBM Global Markets, responsible for revenue, profit, IBM's brand, just a few important things. Martin, welcome to theCUBE. They're important. Inderpal Bhandari, Cube alum, Global Chief Data Officer at IBM, good to see you again. Good to see you, Dave. So you guys, just off the keynotes, Martin, you talked a lot about disruption, things like digital trade that we're going to get into, digital transformation. What are you hearing when you talk to clients? You spent a lot of time as the CFO. I did. Now you spend a lot of time with clients. What are they telling you about disruption and digital transformation? Yeah, you know, the interesting thing, Dave, the first thing that every CEO starts with now is that I run a technology company, and it doesn't matter if they're writing code or if they're manufacturing corrugated cardboard boxes. Every CEO believes they are running a technology company. Now interestingly, maybe we could have predicted this already five or six years ago because we run a CEO survey, we run CFO, we run surveys of the C-suite, and already about five years ago, technology was number one on the CEO's list of what's going to change their company in the next three to five years. It led, the CFO lagged, the CMO lagged, everyone else lagged. CEOs saw it first. So CEOs now believe they are running technology businesses. And then when you run a technology business, that means you have to fundamentally change the way you work, how you work, who does the work, and how you're finding and reaching and engaging with your clients. So when we talk, you know, we shorthand of digitizing the enterprise, or what does it mean to become a digitally enabled enterprise? It really is about how do you use today's technology embedded into your workflows to make sure you don't get disintermediated from your clients and you're bringing them value at every step, every touch point of their journey. So that brings up a point. Every CEO I talked to was trying to get digital right. And that comes back to the data. Now you're of course biased on that. But what are your thoughts on a digital business? Digital business is all about how they use data and leverage data. What does it mean to get digital right in your view? So data has to be the starting point. You actually do see examples of companies that will start out on a digital transformation or a technology transformation, and then eventually back into the data transformation. So in a sense, you've got to have the digital piece of it which is really the experience that users have of the products of the company, as well as the technology which is kind of the back end engines that are running, but also the workflow and being able to infuse AI into workflows and then data because everything really rides on the data being in good enough shape to be able to pull all this off. So eventually people realize that really it's not just a digital transformation or a technology transformation, but it is a data transformation to begin with. And you guys have talked a lot at this event, at least this pre-event. I've talked to people about operationalizing AI. That's a big part of your responsibilities. How do you feel about where you're at? I mean, it's a journey I know you've never done, but I feel like you're making some good progress there. Injournally at IBM specifically. Internally at IBM, very good progress because our whole goal is to infuse AI into every major business process and touch every IBM. So that's the whole goal of what we've been doing for the last few years. And we're already at the stage where our central AI and data platform for this year, over 100,000 active users will be making use of it on a regular basis. So we think we're in pretty far along in terms of our transformation and the whole goal behind this summit and the previous summits, as you know Dave, has been to use that as a showcase for our clients and customers so that they can replicate that journey as well. So we heard Ginni Rametti, two IBM things to go, talk about incumbent disruptors, which resonates as IBM's an incumbent disruptor. You talked about chapter one being random acts of digital. And then chapter two is sort of how to take that mainstream. So what do you see as the next wave, Martin? Well, as Inderpal said, and if I use us as an example, now we are using AI heavily. We have an advantage, right? We have this thing called IBM Research, one of the most prolific inventors of things, still leads the world, we still lead the world in patents. So we have the benefit. For our clients, however, we have to help them down that journey. And the clients today are on a journey of finding the right hybrid cloud solution. That gives them bridges, sort of, I have this data, the incumbency advantage of having data, along with where are the tools and where is the compute power that I need to take advantage of the data? So they're on that journey. At the same time, they're on the journey as Inderpal said, of embedding it into their workflows. So for IBM, the company that's always lived sort of at the intersection of technology and business, that's what we're helping our clients do today, helping them take their incumbent advantage of data, having data, helping them co-create or working with them to co-create solutions that they can deploy, and then helping them put that into work, into production, if you will, in their environments and in their workflows. So one of the things you stress today, two of the things, you talk about transparency and open digital trade. I want to get into the latter, but think, talk about what's important in chapter two, just one of those ingredients of success. You talked about things like free flow of data, prevent data localization, mandates, and protect algorithms and source codes. You also made another statement, which is very powerful. IBM has never given up its source code to a government, and we'd leave the country first. So what are some of those success factors that we need to be thinking about in that context? So let's, if we look at IBM, IBM today runs 87% of the world's credit card transactions, right? IBM today runs the world's banking systems, we run the airline reservation systems, we run the supply chains of the world, hearts and lungs, right? If I just shorthand all of that, hearts and lungs, the reason our clients allow us to do that is because they trust us at the very core. If they didn't trust us with their data, they wouldn't give it to us. If they didn't trust us to run the process correctly, they wouldn't give it to us. So when we say trust, it happens at a very base level of who do you really trust to run your data, and importantly, who is someone else going to trust with your data, with your systems? Any bank can maybe figure out how to run a little bit of a process, but you need scale, that's where we come in, so big banks need us, and secondly, you need someone you can trust that can get into the global banking system because the system has to trust you as well. So they trust us at a very base level, that's why we still, as I said, we still run the hearts and lungs of the enterprise world. And you also made the point, you're not talking about necessarily personal data, that's not your business, but when you talked about the free flow of data, there are governments of many, Western governments who are sort of putting in this mandate of not being able to persist data out of the country, but then you gave an example of, if you're trying to track a bag, you know, a baggage claim, you actually want that free flow of data, so what are those conversations like? So first, I do think we have to distinguish between the kinds of data that should flow freely and the kinds of data that should absolutely be, personal information is not what we're talking about. But the supply chains of the world work on data, the banking system works on data, right? So when we talk about the data that has to flow freely, it's all the data that doesn't have a good reason for it to stay local. Citizens' data, healthcare data might have to stay because they're protecting their citizens' privacy. That's the issue I think that most governments are on, so we have to desegregate the data discussion, the free flow of data from the privacy issues, which are very important. Is there a gray area there between the personal information and the type of data that Martin's talking about, or is it pretty clear cut in your view? No, I think this has obviously got to play itself out, but I'll give you one example. So the whole use of a blockchain potentially helps you address and find the right balance between privacy of sensitive data versus actually the free flow of data. So for instance, you could have an encryption or a hash of say the person's name whose luggage is lost, and you could pass that information through, and then on the other side it's decrypted, and then you're able to make sure that essentially you're able to satisfy the client, the customer. So there's flow of data, there's no issue with regard to exposure, because only the rightful parties are able to use it. So these things are, in a sense, the technologies that we're talking about that Martin talked about, with the blockchain and so forth, they are in place to be able to really revolutionize and transform digital trade. But there are other factors as well, with Martin touched on a bunch of those in the keynote with regard to the imbalances, some of the protectionism that comes in and so on and so forth, which all that stuff has to be played through. So much to talk about, so little time. So digital trade, let's get into that a little bit. What is that and why is it so important? So if you look at the economic throughput in the digital economy, the size of the GDP, if you will, of what travels around the world and the way data flows, it's greater than the traded goods flow. So this is a very important discussion. Over the last 10 years, you know, out of the 100% of jobs that were created, 80% or so had a digital component to it, which means that the next set of jobs that we're creating, they require digital skills, right? So we need a set of skills that will enable a workforce, and we need a regulatory environment that's cooperative, that's supportive. So in the regulatory environment, as we said before, we think data should flow freely unless there's a reason for it not to flow. And I think there will be some really good reasons why certain data should not flow, but data should flow freely except for certain reasons that are important. We need to make sure that we don't create a series of mandates that force someone to store data here, right? If you want to be in business in a country, the country shouldn't say, well, if you want to do business here, you have to store your data here. It tends to be done on the auspice of a security concern, but we know enough about security to know that doesn't help, it's a false sense of security. So data has to flow freely, don't make someone store it there just because it may be moving through or is being processed in your country. And then thirdly, we have to protect the source code that companies are using. We cannot force, no country should force a company to give up their source code. People will leave, they just won't do business there. That's just not about an intellectual property issue there, right? It's a huge intellectual property issue, that's exactly right. So the public policy framework then is really free flow of data where it makes sense. No mandates unless it makes sense, right? And protection of IP. Protection of IP, that's right. Okay, good. It's a pretty simple structure and based on my discussions, I think most sort of align with that. And we're encouraged, I'm encouraged by what I see in TPP, it has that. What I see in Europe, it has that. What I see in USMCA, it has that. So all three of those are very good, but they're three separate things. We need to bring it all together to have one. So those are good examples. GDPR maybe is a framework that seems to be seeping its way into other areas. Yeah, so GDPR is an important discussion, but that's the privacy discussion wrapped around a broader trade issue, right? But privacy is important. GDPR does a good job on it, but we have a broader trade issue of data. All right, Indipal, we'll give you the final word. It's kind of your show. Oh, no, so I was just going to say, Dave, I think one way to think about it is you have to have the free flow of data. Maybe the way to think about it is, certain data you do need controls on and it's more the form in which the data flows that you restrict as opposed to letting the data flow at all. What do you mean? The hash example that I gave you. It's okay for the hash to go across, but that way you're not exposing the data itself. So those technologies are all there. It's much more the regulatory frameworks that Martin's talking about, that they've got to be there and in place so that we are not impeding the progress. That's going to be inevitable when you do have the free flow. So in that instance, the hash example that you gave, it's the parties that are adjudicating, the machines are adjudicating. Unless the parties want to expose that data, it won't be exposed. It won't happen if they won't be exposed. All right, Inder Paul, Martin, I know you've got to run. Thanks so much for coming to theCUBE. Appreciate it, you're welcome. All right, keep it right there, everybody, we'll be back with our next guest from IBM CDO Summit in San Francisco. You're watching theCUBE.

giqkn5q6RK0

I'm the comic weekly man the jolly comic weekly man and I'm here to read the funnies to you happy boys and honey yes boys and girls it's comic weekly time and here I come right into your house to bring a little fun and happiness right out of the pages and put the comic weekly straight into your living room your friend the comic weekly man the jolly comic weekly man little miss honey how are you today oh I'm fine too and we have a little surprise for you today in the comics goody I love surprises especially when they come in the comics tell me about it beginning today we have a new comic it's called beetle Bailey the story of a fellow who's in the army what's he like well he's something like Dagwood he's always getting into trouble it is and we'll read it in just a moment because that's on the very first page very well I'll read that in just a moment but before I do let's listen to this nice man now here we go with plot the comic weekly and on the first page under bringing a father our new hero beetle Bailey very well my lady toot me a toot and tweet me a tweedle squeeze out music for Bailey the beetle at the army post where beetle is stationed its mail time and as the sergeant passes out letters to the man he says box for Bailey and tosses a big box to beetle Bailey one of the men says hi it's that cake he's been expecting beetle starts to walk off with his package hi he's trying to sneak off without sharing it away beetle goes like a shot out of a gun my girl made this for my birthday and it's all mine through the top sergeant office he goes out the window last picture top row first picture bottom row the men see a trash can bumping along by itself one of them yells stop that trash can beetle leaps out of the trash can meanwhile as the chase for the cake goes on an officer waits beside a car he looks at his watch and says now where's that messenger with that new mind they developed at the proving grounds it has to be on that plane for a Washington in ten minutes just then beatle dashes by the package in his hands second picture bottom row the officer yells I said give me that I'll just make the plane as beetle stops and dismay the car drives off with Beatles cake last picture at army headquarters seven generals and admirals are staring at the cake which has a candle sticking up out of it one of them says well so that's the new secret weapon and an admiral says you know it looks sort of like a cake another general says very importantly well it's hard as a rock and a general at the head of the table says well let's get busy and see how quick we can turn out a million of them I guess it's because of that candle sticking up out of it it looks like a secret weapon and a general says get busy and make a million out of them well that would be a good way to win a war throw cake in the face of the enemy how could you win a war that way well when the enemy sits down to eat the cake you sneak up and take their guns away from them and then you say surrender or we won't give you any more cake and since everyone likes cake well then they surrender yeah that's a wonderful idea sure and here's another wonderful idea let's turn over the page to Prince Valiant oh yes I'm anxious to read that because Val has been telling young Arf the story of Thule that's the country king I rise the ruler of and he was telling Arf how he had gone in search of adventure and found savage huns trying to capture the castle of Andalcrag where men who love goodness and kindness and justice and beauty and those were about the only people left and that's why the world you were good people that's right and that's why Val wanted to help them he slipped into the castle and joined Prince Cameron leader of the troubadours who loved beauty and music and fought against the huns but then another terrible attack came against the castle I wonder what'll happen let's read now and find out here we go with Prince Valiant in the days of King Arthur heck-it-break-it Gray Malkin and Quince music romantic for a fair fair prince Val tells the story of the next attack of the huns the savage huns built siege machines tall towers by which they tried to climb over the top of the castle wall but with grapples we rock their towers back and forth till they tumble then they tried battering rounds for days they hammered away at the walls and then finally the walls tumbled they found we had built another inner wall as strong as the first and still they could not pass always Prince Cameron was ever in the forefront of the battle an example to all in the splendor of his manhood the defenders were fewer now but nothing could dampen the spirits of these gallant people although they had fought fiercely upon the walls and many were wounded when their moments of rest came they sang and played gaily with good will in their hearts for each other and then came the day we fear there was no more food and drink we are at a banquet table which you see in the big picture then Prince Cameron rose to his feet smiling into the eyes of his comrades for the last time he said last picture the huns rule from sea to sea we are the last of the warrior troubadours because of our ideals the world has been a better place to live in only Andalcrag stands unconquered it will cease to exist still unconquered tomorrow we will do that which we have to do what they're going to do tomorrow I think he expects tomorrow they'll have another battle the most desperate of all but how can they have strength to fight if they have nothing to eat I wonder too well next week we'll find out now let's go over the page past the lawn ranger yes brave Robin Hood who has defied the cruel sheriff of Nottingham who hates Robin Hood because he helps the poor people let's read now and find out here we go with a story of Robin Hood it's merry merry England in days long ago time now for Robin Hood some music I hope as the sheriff's men attack prior tuck springs to the defense of the trap Robin Hood but the sheriff fells in with the swift blow of the sword and pointed to Robin Hood he shouts take him alive Robin stands surrounded by the sheriff's men he drops his sword to the ground and raises his hands above his head as the men relax for a second thinking he's caught suddenly Robin springs in the air catches the limb of a tree swings his feet forward kicks one of the guards against several of the others leaves over some bushes last picture top road dashes across the shallow stream first picture bottom row the sheriff's shouts to his archers crouching low Robin scrambles out of the stream onto the opposite bank as arrows whizz around his ears the sheriff's men dash across the stream in pursuit suddenly a volley of arrows burst on the slope above Robin Hood the sheriff's men fall past picture Robin breaks through the brush to see his men crouching behind trees sending arrow after arrow at the sheriff's men and one of them shouts not only escaped but led the sheriff's men straight into an ambush where Robin's merry outlaws can give him what they deserve you're so right well now let's go to the very last page of the first section and see what flash Gordon's up to while flash was changing the course of the comet ship so it wouldn't crash with the earth the comet men had opened a hatch and let in fire gas that began to heat the airship and it got so hot that they would all die if he didn't do something so now he's fighting the comet men who aren't bothered by this heat what happened he's got to find some way to close the door so the heat won't come in and kill them dad well let's see how he manages here we go with flash Gordon bring a regga dune dunes ask him attach let's have music for heroic plan in his insulated asbestos suit flash wades through the flaming gases of the comet's head with swift and deadly ray bursts he blasts the comet men away from the space fears airlock before they are able to complete their work of sabotage and then suddenly flashes ray gun stop shooting and he sees to his horror that it is melting in the intense heat from a trusted weapon it has changed instantly into a supercharged bomb ready to backfire any second last picture top roll flash hurls the ruined ray pistol as far as possible from the airlock then dodges back inside the cabin even so he's badly shaken as the guns explosion scatters the comet men like campings the survivors attempt to close in on their unarmed full first picture bottom roll last seizes the nearest comet man by the ankle and whirls him around like a baseball bat driving the scaly armored attackers off into space with his enemies temporarily scattered flash attempts to seal the space fears gaping hole in a desperate effort to keep out the comet's fiery atmosphere with zarkov's aid he successfully patches the outer shell with flashed iron patch plates from the ship's emergency locker meantime the comet is carrying the spaceship headlong toward the sun's all-consuming cosmic furnace flash and zarkov finish their repairs then race back to the instrument room just in time to catch the treacherous flamma in a daring attempt to overcome dale and seize control of the comet world but it was flash has seen an awful lot of action but I don't think I've ever seen so much happen so fast as it did right there no need to deny you think he's in time to stop flamma from getting dale's weapon well that's something we'll find out next week now it's time for Dagwit and blondie and here we go with Dagwit and blondie ram of food and my thumbs in some zombie conjure me music for Dagwit and blondie the phone rings in the bumpstered house Dagwood answers it hello it's quite important Dagwood puts the phone down dashes out of the house blondie blondie last picture top row he dashes down the street ain't you see blondie mrs. snuggles well yes I saw her walking that way a while ago first picture second row blondie finds the phone off the hook and she exclaims my goodness what's the receiver doing off the hook hello when she hears what the man wants she says oh well I'm sorry but you'll have to talk to my husband about that last picture second row blondie dashes out of the house Dagwood meanwhile first picture third row Dagwood is still dashing down the street asking everybody what do you see and blondie is dashing down the street asking everybody last picture third row Dagwood dashes around the corner and sees blondie dashing down an alley and he shouts blondie first picture bottom row he dashes into the house stops at the phone picks up the phone hello the man on the phone answers he turns to blondie and says the man had the wrong number and blondie who's lying on the sofa exclaims oh I'm so exhausted I can't make supper you have to take us to a restaurant last picture they're all at a restaurant and as the waiter brings in their dinner blondie smiles cheerfully and Dagwood who is thinking what the dinner is going to cost him sinks his teeth in his chair and thinks to himself bachheimer bachheimer bachheimer yes and then they find out that the man had somebody else on the phone he fought he wasn't it yes you bet it was and Dagwood's pretty unhappy about it well now look underneath Dagwood and blondie look who's there big ben both oh yes and I'm anxious to read that because dinner's in trouble now read it in just a moment but first here's that nice man again with something interesting to say now here we go again with puck for comic weekly and on the first page of the second section big ben boat oh and I'm worried about him because you remember big ben had got caught in the middle of what oh a feud something that goes on for years and years yes a feud well well ben had got their names were holidays and the ventures yes and the holidays attacked the cabin where ben was with the ventures and little boy got shot and ben has told the ventures to stop their shooting while he tries to get the boy to the doctor and ben opened well let's find out right now here we go with big ben both magic words for the music please very well my lady faint and punch and dodge and twist it's a knock our blow from big ben's fist then comes through the open door the wounded boy in his arms one of the holiday men draws a beat on him and ben says hey listen to me listen to me I want to talk to you the leader of the holidays holds up his hand all right hold your fire ashley holiday last picture top row ben walks to the man who says hey you ain't no venture but for you sticking your nose and what ain't your business then says listen you crazy pools can shoot holes through each other until the cows come home and he goes on first picture bottom row that's your pleasure but this boy hasn't harmed anybody and he's going to die if he doesn't get to a doctor quick yeah he's a venture any he's just a kid and he deserves to live until he's old enough to make up his own mind about joining in this insane murder game you play you talk big and blowy mister you ain't even got a gun I got a mind let my boy shoot you down where you stand ben just looks at the boy in his arms and then the leader of the holidays changes his mind he takes the boy from ben and says ashley take this boy over to the docks the stranger staying thanks last picture the man chuckles and says don't thank me yet son leased ways not till you met up with little david hey little david come on uncle listen to ben and send the boy to the doctor so am I it's mighty brave of ben to face those holidays that way yes well that's something we'll find out next week now let's turn over the page and see who's there oh look it's right and you remember that Roy had saved the guard from being burned up on that stagecoach and then he had brought the guard to a little trading post and when the guard went inside the store Roy heard a shot Roy rushed in and found the guard lying on the floor shot and standing over him was hairpin dob the man who had held up the stagecoach and now he's holding a gun on Roy and I wonder what'll happen to Roy well let's read and find out here we go with Roy Rogers king of the cowboys a yep I owe now here we go with Roy and trigger Roy stands in front of Dobbs his hands in the air as Dobb faces him with a gun Roy says well so you're hairpin Dobbs you shot this man so he wouldn't identify you as the Hombray who held up his stage meanwhile outside the house Sam Teal the owner of the trading post is listening he takes a rifle and sneaks up beside the window when he says to himself no wonder what's happening in there he ain't healthy for me to have a ruckus at my trading post as Roy faces hairpin Dobbs the hold up man says third picture well I suppose the shotgun guard told you what I was looking for in that stagecoach you know Rogers well you ain't gonna live to blab about it he cocks his trigger to shoot Roy but at that moment Sam Teal owner of the trading post appears at the window last picture top row rifle in hand quickly Dobb world sends a shot at the rifle which appears in the window quickly Roy leaps up seizes a chandelier over his head and swings his feet forward knocking Dobbs over Teal comes in the door just then that saddle bum only hit my rifle Rogers I'll lock him in my work room till the sheriff arrives all right get moving hairpin Roy who's kneeling over the guard says but it's man still alive I'll see you that he gets to a doctor Prano a few minutes later Sam Teal is facing Dobbs in his work room Dobbs says match the sheriff when I'll expose you Sam Teal I'm wise you're smuggling fresh mine gold nuggets from the government Indian reservation he'll answers shut up open that door behind your hairpin Dobbs snarls well I figured you hide him somewhere under stages when they're laid up for repairs next door huh all right Dobbs goes out the door Teal aims at his back and says okay hairpin the door is open get going and good luck he's gonna shoot dad yes it does doesn't I wonder if he'll even know he's helping Roy neither do I and maybe we'll find out why we don't trust him next week well now it's time for Dick's adventures so let's go to the very last page yes and you remember with general hall and the English has just declared war on the map and general hall knows that the ship that's carrying his supplies will be captured by the British on Lake Erie so he hurries his shorthanded army to Detroit oh I wonder if you'll get to the fort safely well let's find out now here we go with Dick's adventures say the magic words with me rickety pack is that because they let's have music for adventure to stick general hall and his army reached the frontier town of Detroit first picture second row they find the 800 inhabitants of the fort including many women and children in the grip of terror after he is investigated a situation Paul says to dick a little later oh it's not the British we fear land they're civilized but that bloodthirsty devil chief tecumseh is fighting on their side we hear he's got 5 000 braves ready to swarm drone on us rather than a weight attack general hall last picture second row launches an assault first only to be driven back by the dire news that even greater hordes of tecumseh's warriors are gathering outnumbered and faced with a prospect of wholesale massacre all surrenders and first picture bottom row Detroit becomes a pretty city as dick salutes the flag with tears in his eyes he sees it grow dimmer and dimmer and he's saying we lost Detroit Lake Erie's bottled up yeah but wait'll Perry gets there last picture dick sits up and sees is in his own hammock in his own backyard hey i've been dreaming again yes it was but general hall was wise he prevented the massacre of all those people by the Indians yes i think and save the people's lives yes much better i wonder what'll happen next week and new adventure or some more about well we'll find that out next week now look underneath dick's adventures there's rusty riley oh yes and horses are out on a farm near the seacoast the farm is owned by mrs jones and a mr marlowe is trying to get that farm away from mrs jones and he can do it too if she can't pay him some money that she owes him before the end of the week so rusty is going to try to help her and he's training a horse to run in a race and if he wins the race he'll get a thousand dollars and he and tex found some strange smelling mud on the horses hoops and rusty has shown tex that the mud is on mrs jones's farm and tex when he saw the mud said to rusty that there was oil there oh i managed to find out more about this quickly very well here we go with rusty riley gallop and run till the road is dusty give us music for his horse and rusty rusty says to tex hey jeepers tex if there's oil here mrs jones is really rich and Pete says yes your tex all we got to do is to tell her and then she can pay off that money she owes mr marlowe now whoa whoa now there hold on there boys it ain't it going to be quite that simple dealing with that marlowe farmant oh the way i see it the tex driven showed oil here just about the time that jones was killed in that truck accident now marlowe didn't want to share it with mrs jones so he got some phony engineer to sign a report that there's no oil at all and he goes on last picture top roll yeah and it looks like he's got things tied up good the temporary lease and that huller must be to keep nosy folks away till he forecloses that mortgage and that's going to be right soon rusty says first picture bottom roll well tex he won't do it if i can stop him you see our plan is to win the blue brook handicap at the county fair i had this cold pretty well broken before we left milestone farm oh he's awful fast and pete says yeah and that race pays a thousand bucks well tex answers well banking on a racehorse is pretty much like counting on hatch chicks rusty but during if it ain't worth a try next morning at the picnic grounds rusty is training his horse peter has been watching asks well how do you think he's doing rusty rusty answers well he's picking his feet up too high pete like a hackney he didn't know that when i wrote him at the milestone track last picture pete says well rusty you suppose that we did anything to his feet when we cleaned out that black clay rusty answers heck no that wouldn't make him run that way but whatever it is he'll never win that race high steppin that's something to worry about yes it is because rusty says he can't win the race running away and rusty knows because he knows everything about horses well maybe next week you'll find out how to correct that oh i hope so now it's all the time i have but before i go here's that nice fellow with some more interesting information honey and all your boys and girls i got to go now all right mr. best week okay that's a date and a date with all your boys and girls be sure to meet me with our little friend miss honey next week when i read pock the comic weekly or i'm the comic weekly man the jolly comic weekly man i'll be back to read the funnies to you happy boys and honey don't forget boys and girls see all next week your friend the comic weekly man the jolly comic weekly man

A-Lister Bruce Willis has been in Hollywood a long time and of course that means he's also earned himself some impressive real estate along the way. Whether it's in Los Angeles, New York, or out in the tropics, Bruce has called some stunning mansion's home. Bruce Willis has been one of Hollywood's consistently longest-working actors. Sure, he might be a long way from his heyday as Officer John McClane from the Die Hard franchise, but when you drop as legendary a performance as that one, not once. But five times, odds are you're gonna have a legacy that lasts. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Since getting his start in the film industry in the late 80s, Bruce has been working nonstop. Unfortunately, a recent health diagnosis is about to change all of that. Bruce's family recently revealed that he will be stepping away from acting after discovering that he's suffering from aphasia, a condition that affects one's ability to properly communicate. According to people close to the star, Bruce has known that his health has been in decline for a little while now and as a result, he's spent the past couple of years selling off his real estate assets to focus on life with his family in California. An undisclosed source told Page Six, he knew he wouldn't eventually need multiple estates and apartments to travel between and that he would instead need to live in a safe environment surrounded by his family. Over the many successful decades of Bruce's career, he acquired a number of different properties, almost all of which he's now sold, including a stunning mansion located in the heart of Beverly Hills, a country home in New York, and one in Turks and Caicos, too. Finally, there's the house that Bruce and his family live in today, a home that he picked up just a couple of years ago in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood. Hey guys, it's Kara back with another exclusive house tour here on Famous Entertainment today checking out the properties of Bruce Willis. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit me up on Instagram to chat and now let's get into this video. Back in the opening years of the early 2000s, Bruce dropped $9 million in a 10,000 square foot Spanish style home located on one acre of land in the Celeb Pack District of Beverly Hills. This property was first built as far back as 1928 and since then has been updated over the years. Today, the entryway features a grand metal chandelier that hangs over a simplistic and airy entryway. A little further into the house, the spacious living room gives way to a minimal aesthetic but one that doesn't skimp on details like those arched door frames and the exposed ceiling beams. When it comes to the kitchen, a playful twist on the classic double stove top back splash has been crafted with tiles that pay homage to Spring Street in New York City. In fact, this is just one of three kitchens in the property that are no doubt perfect for catering some epic Hollywood parties. Upstairs is what once was Bruce's man cave. Those dark hardwood floors and some burgundy accents lend the space an air of sophistication. Then there's the master bedroom. It boasts further dark floors, rustic beams, and a fireplace of its own. The nearby en suite washroom offers up a spacious stone shower. Meanwhile, the spare guest rooms with their large padded headboards and luscious fabrics alongside en suites with features like a claw foot tub enter that no matter who's spending the night here, they're living in comfort. Finally, there's the exterior spaces which include a gigantic fountain out front as well as a back patio and pool area which boasts a large wooden deck with additional cabana, an outdoor kitchen, and more than enough space for a laxing. After living in this home for close to a decade, Bruce would list it in 2014 and sell the property for around $16.5 million. 2019 is when Bruce began to list his other properties one by one. After selling an Idaho based ski compound, Bruce would then move off a 13,000 square foot compound in Westchester County, New York. A posh area of the state that's home to celebrities like Martha Stewart, Richard Gere, and the Clintons. Formed out of four distinct structures and situated on more than 22 acres of land, this property boasts 12 bedrooms, 9 baths, and 3 half baths, inside the 8,958 square foot main house. Boasting a gabled roof, shingled exterior, whitewood details, and a turreted tower, the main home has a classic yet modern feel whenever you look at it. While inside, there's sophisticated yet rustic interiors. The entryway boasts exposed wooden beams and wide plank wooden floors that contrast lovely with the white details of the white-incorporated staircase that leads up to the second level. The nearby large and open living room, multiple sets of French doors create a wall of windows to maximize those views. Similar French doors can also be found in the kitchen, which offers direct access to the backyard while flooding the kitchen with a ton of natural light. Then there's the cozy little eating area which includes a table next to a wood-burning fireplace. Of course, if you want something a little more formal, there's always the dining room with yet another fireplace of its very own. Upstairs, Bruce's home also boasts a home office, a couple of bedrooms for kids, a master bedroom with a private deck, a small sitting area, and an en suite bathroom with a deep soaking tub. But the most interesting space of all is definitely the home's castle-like turret, which offers a dramatic 360-degree panorama. I'm so jealous right now. Outside of that primary property, there's also a 3,000-square-foot antique farmhouse, a smaller 1,000-square-foot one-bedroom cottage, and a 660-square-foot apartment space located above the three-car garage. See, I almost wanted a breath saying that. A couple of years ago, Bruce listed this place, ultimately selling it for $12.95 million. Only a few years before picking up his place in Beverly Hills, Bruce found himself a much more exotic escape in the Turks and Caicos Islands. More than just any vacation home, this would become the very place where Bruce would marry his current wife, Emma Hemming Willis, in 2009. Bruce bought the land in 2000 and over the next four years, he'd have his dream house constructed, with 12 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, and more than 7 acres of property. In fact, this home is a one-of-a-kind beachfront retreat that's surrounded on all sides by powder, white sand, and turquoise waters. The island property boasts three separate residences that total around 36,000 square feet of space. The largest home, Main House, sits in the center of the compound and is surrounded by two villas, each of which has their own pool. Each of the villas boasts complete privacy but also provide accessways to the Main House so that friends and family can gather in common spaces easily. Inside the Main House are six bedrooms spread across two levels. The upper space of the home is dedicated to a multi-use children's space while the ground floor boasts a gigantic con theater and the guest bedrooms. But when you're spending time in Turks and Caicos, inside is about the last place you want to be. That's because the outside grounds boasts not only a yoga pavilion, but a fully stocked children's playgrounds with a pirate ship. And then there's the even more stunning additions that nature itself provides, like those coconut, banana, and papaya trees. Or how about Northern and Southern Beach Frontage? All in all, there's more than 1,000 feet of powdery white sand to take advantage of. By all of this, in March of 2019, Bruce would list this estate for $33 million, and given the look of it, it wouldn't take long for him to find a buyer. After reshuffling his real estate portfolio, Bruce would purchase a new home in Brentwood, Los Angeles for just under $10 million to live in with his wife Emma and their two daughters Mabel and Evelyn. According to the listing, their current home clocks in at around 13,000 square feet with a total of seven beds and 12 baths. The exterior of the home features a two-tone gray and white color scheme that graces the front. Meanwhile, on the inside, a contemporary foyer boasts hardwood floors, an epic-sized chandelier, and more than enough space for a willow-sized family Christmas tree. The home also includes separate living and family rooms, each of which comes with its own fireplace. Then, there's the Eden Kitchen, which flaunts two marble islands and a roster of top-of-the-line appliances, nearby a dining room with adjacent glassy wine closet. As for the upstairs, it includes an opulent master suite with vaulted ceilings, another fireplace, dual showroom closets, an all-marble bathroom, and a private outdoor terrace. Downstairs in the lower level of the home is a series of recreational amenities that include a pool table, a sauna, and steam room, a gym, and a home theater as well. If that's not enough, your own private elevator provides convenient access from the basement all the way to the top floor. Out back, the yard boasts its very own swimming pool, as well as two cabanas in an all-fresco dining area. Considering this is going to be where Bruce will be spending a lot of his free time for the foreseeable future, I gotta say, it's got everything that he might need. It's both luxurious and practical. Alright, well, that's going to wrap up our Bruce Willis House Tour. After seeing this legendary actor's mansions from over the years, what did you think? Which is your favorite? It's obviously a hard choice, but his former New York estate was totally the most my style. I've always wanted a house with a turret. Well, be sure to let me know your pick in the comments down below. Thanks for tuning in, follow me on Instagram to chat, and I'll catch you all in another video. Bye!

GihWARqlmtM

What is up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I am Goldpony under new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the new 2022 Genesis GV80 courtesy of Genesis of York and York PA. For more information on their inventory, please refer to check out the link in the description box below. And so I'm in this one today because there's actually one major change for the 2022 GV80 and a couple smaller changes as well. In addition to that, you do get America's best warranty as well, being five years, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, 10 years, 100,000 miles then on the powertrain. Also getting three years, 36,000 miles of complimentary maintenance as well. So you don't have to pay for things like the oil changes, tire rotations and things like that. And you also get the Genesis experience which gives you a whole heck of a lot of things including three years of complimentary serious XM radio. You also don't actually have to ever step foot into Genesis dealership if you didn't want to. You can actually buy the car, they'll come out to your house. When you get the car service, again if you're at home, if you're at work, they will find you, they'll take your vehicle, give you a loaner and then they will return with your vehicle. That's a pretty cool feature in itself, the Genesis experiences. So ultimately in this video, I will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering for a ride quality sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing itself. There are so many trim levels for this particular one. So I'm gonna actually just go ahead and put a screenshot on the screen there of all those different trims. Essentially pricing starts at $49,700. And then there is a brand new trim level for the 2022 GV80. And that is going to be the Prestige signature. That one goes for $75,200. But in case you're curious, we do have the 3.5 liter twin turbo charge advanced plus trim level with us here today, meaning we'll get the three rows. So we'll be going over that in a little bit. But having said that, there are two different engine options available for the GV80. First one being a 2.5 liter turbo charge in line four cylinder, putting out 300 horsepower at 5,800 RPM, 311 pound feet of torque, coming in at right around 1,600 RPM. Power for that one sent to the rear wheels are all wheels through an eight speed automatic with paddle shifters, zero to 60 time, coming in at approximately 6.4 seconds with MPG numbers coming in at 21 in the city, 25 on the highway. Regardless of whether or not you go with the rear wheel drive or the all wheel drive, so you might as well go with the all wheel drive for a little better traction there. But taking premium, unleaded fuel. And then there's the other engine configuration and the one we have today being a 3.5 liter twin turbo V6. This one cranks out 375 horsepower at 5,800 RPM, 391 pound feet of torque coming in at 1,300 RPM. Power sent to all four wheels only. This is only an all wheel drive configuration for this engine setup. Power sent to the ground through an eight speed automatic with paddle shifters, which you guys know we will test out here in a little bit, zero to 60 time, coming in at approximately six seconds flat. MPG numbers at 18 in the city, 23 on the highway, yet again taking premium, unleaded fuel. So before we do any kind of fun paddle shifter or acceleration test here in the GV80, don't want to mention the drive modes. So there's a little circular dial just behind the cup holders that is labeled drive mode. And essentially when you turn that, you get different drive modes like snow, eco, comfort, sport and custom, adjusting things like the shift points, the throttle response, steering sensitivity, the suspension settings, and the gauge cluster slightly as well. And not only that, just behind that drive mode button, there's actually a button that's labeled lock that is going to be your all wheel drive lock button. I've actually used that in my Hyundai Santa Fe, it's essentially the same concept. When it starts snowing out here in PA, go ahead and lock that in and it is going to just run through the snow like it's absolutely nothing. So it's a pretty good button to be aware of as well. But now, having got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and put in the fun driving mode labeled sport. Let's find a straightaway and let's put the paddle shifters here to the test and let's see how quickly they are going to react for us here. All right, here we go. They're not bad. I gotta be honest, they're not bad. Usually with SUVs, they're bad. But with the GV80, they're really not all that bad. Usually you get some kind of a delay and the paddle shifters are essentially worthless in SUVs, but not with this. They're actually kind of fun. And the other benefit to having paddle shifters in an SUV is when it does start snowing out if you're then going down a hill rather than hitting the brakes and risk sliding off the road and actually do a little bit of engine braking. So then if you downshift using the paddle shifters, the engine is essentially going to slow the vehicle down as opposed to you hitting the brakes. So you're less likely to go ahead and slide right off the road. But now having done that, gotten that out of the way, we gotta say let's go ahead and get back full control here to the GV80. Let's yet again find another straightaway and let's see how quickly we can get our new 3.5 liter GV80 here up to speed. All right, pulling out onto the road. Here we go. That is definitely fun. Definitely not gonna have any issues emerging onto the highway. Zero to 60 in six seconds flat is plenty of an acceleration, especially for a three-row SUV like this particular GV80. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important. And so upfront, you will find 14.2 inch ventilated front disc for the 2.5 liter. It's actually bumped up to 14.9 inch ventilated front disc for the 3.5 liter. In the back, it's the same either way coming in a 14.2 inch solid rear disc. As far as that 60-zero stopping distance, as you can imagine, it's going to differ between those two different engine configurations because of the different brake sizes. For the 2.5 liter comes in at 117 feet, which is insanely respectable. And then for the 3.5 liter, it gets even better at 112 feet. So braking feel has been 100% on point. In my short test drive here today, definitely on the firmer side of things, I love the braking feel. So you're absolutely not going to have any issues when it comes to braking here in the GV80. But so then touching on suspension and handling, there will be an independent front and rear suspension coming standard front and rear stabilizer bars as well. There's also an electronic limited slip differential which essentially sends torque to the rear wheel with the most traction. So that's definitely going to be a good thing as well, not just for handling, but just for grip and acceleration overall. Electronically controlled adaptive suspension also coming standard on this one, which essentially uses a forward facing camera to kind of scan the road and adjust the damping accordingly, not only giving us smoother ride, but also tightening up the suspension during heavy cornering as well. Kind of giving you the best of both worlds there. And as far as ride quality goes, it has been perfectly fine here in my short test drive today. Without a doubt, definitely soaking up Pennsylvania's road imperfections. Very, very nicely here. As far as steering feel goes, it is going to differ substantially depending upon the drive mode that you put in it. I still have it in sport driving mode. So let me go ahead and put that back to comfort. And it immediately loosens up. But actually even in comfort driving mode, it's a little, it's normal. Like I like it. A lot of times with SUVs, it's loosey-goosey, but Genesis did a good job with the steering feel of the GV80. I'll say that. They're touching on cabin noise. I am driving right now, as you guys can clearly see. There's a whole lot of exterior wind noise coming into the cabin whatsoever. There's a little bit of ruffling of the floor mats in the cargo area, but that is about it. So definitely no issues there. And that's due in part because there is an active noise cancellation system, which measures interior sound waves, then creates an opposing sound wave to then help counter that noise. So that's kind of a cool little technologically advanced feature there that's touching on visibility. It is 100% on point. Now they don't have the third row up right now. So there's no third row headrest. I'm not sure how they would look, but for now it is perfectly fine. It's absolutely wonderful in our big old three row SUV here. Rain sensing windshield wipers do come standard on all trim levels. And there will be a head up display if you want to go with one of the prestige packages. And I actually do have that here. It's projecting my speed, speed limit and safety features up onto the windshield. So that's going to assist with visibility then as well. But that about rounds out the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2022 Genesis GV80. All right. So here she is, you guys. The new 2022 Genesis GV80 finished in Seville Silver in case anyone was curious of our exterior color name. And as far as what's new for the exterior for 2022, there's actually some matte colors added for the 2022 GV80, which the benefit is there's nothing like that really on the road. And typically they're found in luxury vehicles like the Genesis, like BMW or Mercedes. Other thing is you always have to hand wash it. So you can't take them through any kind of touch car washes, I guess you could say. But anyways, let's go ahead and start up front on the GV80 here. Large shield aluminum front grill to match the logo. I'll show you guys what I mean here. Let me actually get up a little bit closer. Guys see the Genesis logo there. It looks like a shield. Then when you zoom out, it's essentially mimic. That's more or less where they got the design of that front grill. And it definitely looks good in my opinion. To the bottom corners there, you do have front air curtains as well, helping direct air around the wheel and tire combination for a little better aerodynamics there. To the sides, a very cool headlight design. It is a quad beam LED headlight design. And of course it comes with the automatic feature, meaning when it starts to get dark at night, those headlights will turn on automatically there. Automatic high beams as well. So when you hit that, when a vehicle is coming in the opposite direction, it's going to dim it back to low beams automatically. And then when that vehicle is gone, it's going to then put it back up to high beams automatically yet again. So that's pretty convenient. LED daytime running lights also coming standard then as well. So overall, like I said, a very cool looking front end to the GV80 kind of looks like a Bentley, but you gotta love it. But anyways, that pretty much rounds out the front. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side of the GV80. So I've been now making our way to the side. Silver roof rails do come standard. Chrome window surrounds also coming standard along with that. Rear privacy glass as expected also coming standard, but there are some chrome slats found on the front fender. Gotta love that. And they definitely imitate the quad beam headlights in design. And the coolest thing is part of that design is actually the integrated turn signal. So if I were to put on my left turn signal right now, or my right turn signal, I don't know which one I'm going to play for you guys, but there's LED light bars. And so that's where your turn signals are actually going to be located on the side of the vehicle as opposed to actually in the mirrors themselves. And speaking of body color, power adjustable side mirrors do come standard. They will be heated and power folding for all trim levels across the board. And to tie along with those chrome accents around the windows, you do have some chrome accenting, not only on the side skirts here as you guys can see, or the bottom portion of the vehicle I should say, but also on the doors then as well. But then take a look at the wheel configurations. 19 inch alloys are going to come standard, 20 inch alloys on the advanced packages like we have today and then 22 inch alloys for the prestige packages, all of them wrapped in Michelin all season tires. But that pretty much rounds out the side of this one. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. It's up and now since we are around to the back here, body colored shark fin antenna all the way to the top, just below that rear spoiler, just below that rear window wiper, just below that you got Genesis lettering spelled out horizontally of course, LED quad tail lights then for all trim levels across the board. Again, matching perfectly with those front headlights, integrated dual exhaust outlets then just below with dual trapezoidal tips. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the GV80, when it comes to opening that rear tailgate, it is a hands free power tailgate for every single trim level ever configuration across the board. So that is one way you can go ahead and open it. There's also a button on the key fob and there is a button by the driver's side lift knee then as well. It's up and then once opened up when it comes to cargo capacity behind that third row. And by the way, I'm going to reemphasize this. The third row is only available with the advanced plus package, which is the one we have today. So that's how we got that 11.6 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, of course the third row does fall down, bumping that up to 34.9 cubic feet behind that second row. And then with all rows folded, that is going to committed an even 84 cubic feet. So right around where the Honda pilot is, I guess. If you wanted to compare it to a non luxury SUV, Hyundai Palisade is going to give you a little bit more, but still plenty of space for an SUV, but there are cargo tie down acres located in that cargo area. There are grocery bag hooks. There is LED cargo lighting with some very cool looking LED lights for that cargo air, which I like. There's a 12 volt power outlet back there. There is a cargo cover and there's actually in-floor storage located back there as well, which I thought was pretty cool. But anyways, so go ahead and make our way up to the third row legroom that is going to come in at 30.3 inches. So for reference, I'm an even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. Rear ventilation also is going to come standard for that third row. It's not found on the ceiling, but rather kind of on the side. So I'm showing you guys those vents now that is going to be there for the third row passengers. Then making our way up to the second row legroom that comes in at 38.7 inches. Again, for reference, I'm an even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. Tri-Zone climate control coming with the Prestige trim levels. Rear window sunshades coming with every single trim level across the board. You gotta love that. Heated second row seats with the Prestige packages. Yet again, front seat back map pockets coming standard. Dual USB charge reports coming standard. I like that. But also 115 volt power outlet back there as well, which I was a pretty big fan of and kind of surprised to see. There is also, of course, a rear center armrest with cup holders. In addition to that, there's a little button if you press that button. It's also going to kind of give you a small tablet holder, just a little bit more storage, I guess you could say. So I like seeing that there too. You also get some wood trim on the side of the doors there. And of course that continues onto the front, but it's kind of a cool texturized finish to it too. So I do like that. And the Prestige signature trim, that new trim level for this year is going to add to that six way power adjustable second row with captain's chairs and a wing type headrest as well. But in addition to that, one touch second row relax mode and second row wireless charging. That's some crazy stuff that you don't see on any other view. I don't think I've ever seen a wireless phone charger for the second row to date. I don't think the Maybach that had just got done reviewing even had that. So that is wonderful. Well done, Genesis. I really liked that. But anyways, then make your way up to the front seats, leatherette seating coming standard, full leather seating coming essentially with all of the different package options, any one of them, 12 way power adjustable front seats for the base and advanced 16 way power driver seat for the Prestige smart posture seating coming with all trim levels. Essentially it takes your height and your body measurements to kind of create the best possible driving position for you. And you're probably going to adjust it after that, but it's a cool little feature there if you wanted it heated and ventilated front seats for all trim levels across the board. There is an Ergo motion seat for the Prestige packages, which essentially uses seven different air cells found within the seating to provide additional support via the side bolsters, for example. So I kind of like that. And you will get memory settings for up to two different drivers coming standard across the board as well. And overall seating was one of the first things I noticed is definitely extremely comfortable. The lumbar adjustments were great. So seating was very comfortable here in the GV80. Then make your way to the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It is leather wrapped and the 10 and two grips are quite thick, which I personally appreciate. And it's actually heated for all trim levels across the board then as well. Then make your way to the startup. Let me first start by showing you guys the key here. Do have your Genesis logo on the one side. Then when you flip it over, lock, unlock that button to pop the rear hatch, the hold button with the circle. That's going to be a remote start coming standard for all trims. We also get smart park for all trims as well. That's going to be those P buttons with the vehicle icon. You can essentially pull your vehicle out of a parking spot if somebody parked too close to you without actually having to get inside of it and wrist slamming your door into that vehicle beside you. So I do like that feature as well. And in addition to that, there is a digital key coming standard for all trim levels across the board that comes in handy for whatever reason. If your key fob were to break or stop working, you always got the digital key which you can download it off on your phone and you don't ever have to even carry keys if you didn't want to. But anyways, in this case, I'm just going to put my phone to the break and press the engine start button, which has a cool little design to it yet again. So then what started up speedometer is all the way to your left. Tachometer is on your right. And by the way, that tachometer also serves as a digital portion to the gauges where you can really customize different things, including when you put that turn signal on that of course is going to show that blind spot view monitor, which I always think is pretty cool. You can check out your driving modes up there if you wanted to. And of course there's plenty of steering wheel mounted controls giving you all kinds of different things. You can check out up there. But then what I also mentioned though, although we don't have it today, there is a 3D digital gauge cluster that comes with the prestige packages. So that's out there too. And so then making our way to overall interior quality, there is a panoramic sunroof for all trim levels across the board, overhead sunglass holder, also coming standard LED interior lighting. All trims are going to get that as well. Homeland controls for all trim levels across the board, wood trim with a matte finish, like I was saying to you guys, all trims are going to get that, multicolor ambient lighting, all trims yet again, Genesis does a really good job with standard features. I'll say that the ambient lighting is 64 different colors, by the way. Dual zoom climate control coming standard and also with the advanced but tri-zone climate control coming with all the other trim packages, essentially. Designer foot pedals, essentially got some indentations, kind of an in diamond type pattern. So I kind of like that. And you do have texturized patterns throughout. I mentioned on the push button star, but also the circular dial to help control the infotainment screen. Also around the shifter itself, which is a cool little circular dial there too, but tons of texturized patterns and finishes, I should say, which I'm definitely a fan of. Do want to mention though, just in front of the cup holders, that's where your wireless phone charger's going to be located. You've got dual USB charge reports as well, if you wanted that. Surrounding the cup holders, you have yet another texturized finish and everything surrounded the center area is going to be in that matte wood finish, which I absolutely love. Then within the center armrest, you have a nice felt type of fabric in there and a decent amount of storage there. And in addition, actually, there's some added storage just below the circular shifter and cup holders then as well, which you don't always get in SUVs. So I did want to mention that. Overall, interior quality is flawless. It's absolutely amazing. I almost forgot to mention, frameless review mirror with homelink control show up to three different garage doors. There's contrast stitching throughout. Again, that matte wood finish everywhere. I like the singular air vent look just above the passenger side glove box, just below the infotainment screen as well. So interior quality is definitely very, very nice here in the GV80. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment screen because it is massive. You're actually going to get a 14.5 inch colored touch screen display coming standard for all trim levels across the board. And like I said, it is touch screen. It's also voice activated. And there is that circular dial I was mentioning to you guys as well. Bluetooth and audio streaming do come standard Android Auto Apple CarPlay as well. Factory navigation system coming for all trim levels across the board. By the way, you do get three years of free map updates. It's part of the Genesis experience as well. So if you didn't want to use Android Auto Apple CarPlay, maybe you live in the boonies. I don't know. You do have three years of free map updates. That's pretty cool. There's a voice memo system, essentially recording your voice. And then you can play it back at a later date if you perhaps did not want to forget about something. There's also a quiet mode. For example, if you have kids in the back and maybe they fall asleep on a road trip to Ocean City, Maryland or something. It essentially cancels out through your speakers and then limits the front speakers so they're less likely then to wake up and you can still listen to the radio up front then. So that's always pretty convenient. You can adjust your climate settings up there if you wanted to. And like I said, the ambient lighting as well, along with your radio information. So let me touch on the sound systems here now. The standard sound system is going to be 12 speakers, which quite honestly is very impressive in itself. Typically with three RO SUVs, you get six or eight speakers, usually eight speakers honestly, but 12 speakers is really impressive there. But any of the package options, you're actually going to get a 21 speaker lexicon sound system. That's a ton of speakers you guys. But anyways, having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next. Let's go ahead and turn on the radio so we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. It's wonderful. Plenty of bass. I actually felt like there was a subwoofer underneath of the driver's seat. Maybe you guys can put it in the comments section if that's correct or not. Cause I could feel it rumbling through the seat. That was pretty cool. So there's a ton of bass. Clarity was great. It really sounded like you're almost at like a Mercy Me concert or something. So very, very nice sound system there for the GV80 without a doubt. But last thing I'm going to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen is when you do put the GV80 in reverse, you will find a very high definition rear view camera with the 360 degree monitor for either the advanced or prestige packages which kind of gives you that bird's eye view which is always is going to lead us into safety. So let me first start by saying IIHS top safety pick plus which by the way is the very highest designation given by IHS. So that pretty much does it all right there. 10 airbags including one between the two front seats. Other manufacturers are doing that right now. The reason that is done by Genesis is because if you get T-Bone perhaps they thought of this idea to kind of prevent the driver and passenger from bashing into each other. So I like that idea. That's definitely a cool safety feature there. In the back you're going to have latch AKA lower anchors and tether to children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, tire pressure monitoring system but also coming standard for all configurations on the GV80 forward collision avoidance assist, lane keep assist, lane following assist of blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert, safe exit assist, driver attention warning system, adaptive cruise control, highway driving assist too which is Genesis's level two autonomous driving. So that's pretty cool. It's essentially like adaptive cruise control. We don't have to keep touching the steering wheel ever so often like I do in my Sonata but rear occupant alert then as well. And then if you were to go with the advanced or prestige packages, we'll also get a blind spot view monitor which I've shown you guys already, remote start parking assist and reverse automatic braking then as well. So overall when it comes to my final thoughts here at the GV80, incredible interior quality. Really this thing is finished with the best of them. Incredible value when consider the price point in addition to that America's best warranty for peace of mind and three years of complimentary maintenance and the Genesis experience you never actually have to go to a dealership. There's just so many perks to this thing. It's crazy. Excellent tech, a 14.5 inch infotainment screen and the availability for the 3D digital gauge cluster. That's wonderful. That's pretty much as good as it gets right now. Powerful engine options including the 3.5 liter twin turbo V6. You got to love it. The only constructive criticism and I said this in I think probably last year's review as well is the ride quality is great. It's still not quite as good as the competition. It's the adaptive damping suspension system that Genesis uses. It's pretty darn good but it's not quite as good as let's say BMW or Mercedes Benz and they're adaptive suspension system. So that's all I'm saying. It's definitely not bad. It's very, very good but not quite as good as some of the competition. That's all I'm saying. Anyways, that is about it for this one.

Gif4ZIB_ET4

Family Theatre presents Dan Durrier, Virginia Gregg, and Parley Baer. The mutual network in cooperation with Family Theatre Incorporated presents The Postmistress of Lolo Run, written by the Dean of Western authors Brett Hart. To introduce the drama, your host, Dan Durrier. Thank you, Gene. We at Family Theatre are happy to welcome Virginia Gregg and Parley Baer to our stage in a story that's long been one of my favorites and I'm sure is familiar to you all. When it comes to telling the stories of life in the western states during the gold rush days of 49, the name of Brett Hart certainly reigned supreme. Perhaps that's because he wrote not of high adventure and melodrama, but of people, warm, human, frail and courageous people. The kind of people or in the story we're going to tell tonight. The story of The Postmistress of Lolo Run. Let me tell you about it. The stagecoach carrying the mail has just passed through the little mining town of Lolo Run. Out of the whirling cloud of dust it left in its wake comes the trim figure of a young woman. Her pretty face is made even more so by the faint flush of exertion as she drags a leather mail sack along the ground behind her. Oh, my goodness. I do declare the mail gets heavier every day. Well now, Miss Baker, I'd be right happy to give you a hand. Maybe I could ease that bag along for you, Miss Baker. I could just lift it on my shoulder, Miss Baker. Now, now, boys, you know better than that. It's the rules. Government postal regulation number 124, I think. Or perhaps it's 142. Well, no matter. Rules is still rules. But I thank you. Anyways, gentlemen. Darn shame. That's what it is. Yeah, in fact, Postmistress, you know Postmistress. Ain't Miss Baker's job to be dragging them heavy sacks? Well, gentlemen, if a visitor to your fair city may be allowed to venture an opinion, I'd see the trouble lies in entrusting government business to a foolish, incapable, light-headed woman, such as this Miss Baker obviously is. So that's what Miss Baker obviously is, huh, stranger? Well, maybe I better get you straight on certain things. Sit down. Well, now, really, I have no desire to... Sit down. Yes, sir. Did you ever hear of Johnny Baker? No, no, I don't believe that I... Shut up. I'm doing the talking. Well, maybe yes, sir. Johnny Baker was foreman of the last chance mine. And in Laurel Run, everybody depends on that mine for his living. Well, there was 40 people up here, all men. We was Johnny's boys. And he was boss, pal, and even a sort of father-confessor to all of us. Anyway, a couple of years ago, Johnny was off to San Francisco on business. Some of us was sitting in the smeller shack when Stanton Green came in. Well, lookie, who's here, boys, Mr. Green? I might dress up any. That's fact he is. He sure looked mighty pretty, Mr. Green. Why, thank you, gentlemen. I reckon at least one of Johnny's boys ought to be dressed up for the occasion. Occasion? What's this here now occasion you're talking about? Well, Johnny's rigs are coming up the grade right now. Maybe you ought to get out there and see for yourself. Johnny's back? Well, come on, boys. Let's give that Texan the old hoop and ho. Come on, old son of a gun. They're coming back so soon. Oh, enough is Johnny all right. But who's that he's a-bringin'? Who's that he... She opens your hose about. Well, skid, I don't mind britching. I'm dreamin'. I can't be. I'm dreamin'. I told you it was an occasion today. Get out of here! Step right on up here, boys. Aren't you to meet Mrs. John Baker, my new bride? Your new... Betsy, honey, here's something my boys have been telling you about. This in here is Sam Martin. I'm delighted, Mr. Martin. Just positively delighted. Uh... This here is Bill Hanley. Why, I do declare, Mr. Hanley, you're ever bit as good-looking as Johnny said you was. And here's my best friend, Betsy. Stanton Green. We always figured we was livin' in God's country, ma'am. Now we know it. We got an angel with us for proof. Oh, well, I do declare, Mr. Green. That's the prettiest speech. Well, honey, you think you can be happy here in Laurel Run? Why, I'm just gonna love it, Johnny. I'm just gonna love it. Well, being how Mrs. Baker was the only woman in Laurel Run, she sure had a disturbing effect on some of the younger, more foolish gents. And on some of the old ruins, too. But she was Johnny Baker's wife, so all concerned kept their distances. All that is but Stanton Green. It's Mr. Green. Well, I hope you don't mind my comin' to callin' this way, Mrs. Baker. Mind? What's always a pleasure to have one of Johnny's friends come a visitin'? Now, I'd just love to invite you in, but Johnny ain't home. I know, ma'am. He asked me to tell ya he'd be workin' late tonight. Workin' late again. I do declare Johnny worries about that mind like it was a sickly child. Well, he takes his work mighty serious, Mrs. Baker. But you know it's a shame you gotta stay cooped up in this cabin so much. I'd be willing to wager you ain't even see the sunset from Smokey Hill Point since you've been here. Well, no, I ain't. I, uh, I have a rig outside. I take it as a favor if you'd allow me the privilege of driving you out there to see. Well, I really shouldn't, but... just wait till I get my bonnet and cape. I'd take it as a pleasure, Mr. Green. A real pleasure. Maybe you couldn't blame a lively spirited young gal for wantin' to get away from a lonely cabin once in a while. Anyway, she and Stanton Green were seeded together more and once as the weeks went by. And then one day around noon, while Johnny was at his cabin havin' a bite to eat, something happened at the mine. Mr. Dad, boys, what level? The east one, Johnny. Who's down there? Kurtzer, Green, Melville, maybe eight or nine more. Yeah, they're blastin' in there tight on tick, Johnny. Can't get through to them, no how. They're still alive. We can still hear them callin', but there ain't no way of gettin' through. There's one way, the old abandoned mine to the north. Oh, you're crazy, Johnny. Them walls are so weak and the timber so rotten. The whole thing can come down on your ears. It can't be done, Johnny. I figure it's got to be done, and I'm gonna do it. No, Johnny, no. Well, if I don't go, Betsy, there's maybe a dozen men that won't never come up again. It ain't gonna do them no good for you to be lost, too, Johnny. I won't let you go. I won't. Betsy, listen to that. Them's my boys down there. My boys. It's up to me to say there ain't no harm comes to them. That's my work, Betsy. And I'm gonna do it. I got to. He's right. Of course, Johnny. You're right. Go to him. And I'll wait for you right here. Makes 11. Who's left down there? Only Stanton Green and Johnny. Here, here comes Green. Give me a hand, boys. Quick, now, give me a hand. Here, come, fella. Here, come, now. Get Johnny quick. That shaft's gonna cave in any second. Get Johnny up there faster for the whole thing. Thousands of tons of rock piled up down there. And Johnny's... For you right here, Johnny. I'll wait for you. Laurel Run wasn't the same after that. Not with Johnny gone and the mine ruined. Stanton Green pulled stakes for Hickory Hill. One or two others headed for Sacramento. But somehow the rest of us just couldn't leave. Not with Betsy Baker still there, standing in her cabin in the morning, quiet light. And then it started to happen. Darn nuisance is here, walkin' clothes. Darn nuisance. Good morning, Mr. Hatton. Well, if it ain't Miss Baker. Now that's hardly fitin' work for a man to do, washin' clothes. You just sit down there in the shade and smoke a pipe while I get to it. The sun, the con-son, the con-son. The dad-rather thing keeps stickin' to the skillet like it was miss... I'm a bit of trouble with you, sir. No biscuits, ain't you, Mr. Ronson? My goodness, I could smell them burnin' and clean down to my cabin. Here, let me eat that skillet. Hungry man or to have some decent biscuits to eat for a change. Gold is still there, ain't it, Mr. Mark? Sure it is, Miss Baker. And if the mine gets operating again, there'll be work for all you boys, won't there? Sure there will, but you gotta have... Then goodness, what's the matter with all of you? Ain't you got backbone and gumption? Now, you just get a committee together and skidaddle off to San Francisco. And don't you dare come back, Mr. Martin, without the capital necessary to get that mine open again. Yes, sir, 40 grod men were ready to throw up their hands and quit. And little foolish Betsy Baker, little giddy Betsy Baker, pulled that town right up by its bootstraps. We did get the mine open again and Laurel Run began to thrive and grow. Well, it was maybe a couple of months later that a delegation of us went calling up to Miss Baker's cabin. I do declare, boys. This is quite a little gathering. Did you all come up here just to see me? Yes, I'm there. That's right. That's a fact, ma'am. Yes, it sure is. Goodness. I ain't gonna bite none of you. Ain't nobody gonna tell me what this is all about? Well, you see, ma'am... It's like this, Miss Baker. Finally. Oh, go on. You tell her, Bronson. Well, ma'am, it's this hair-away. We've been worried about you and how you're gonna get along, so we tried to figure ways and means and hand it to San Francisco and give the argument to the general office and, well, we got the appointment for you. Well, now, what apartment's that, boys? There's post-mistress of Laurel Run, of course. Post-mistress? Of course, it's only temporary first. And don't pay too much. But enough for you to get along. And if we get enough post, so business here. Then it'll be made permanent. How about it, Miss Baker? Will you take the job? What's the matter, Miss Baker? Did we hurt your feelings or something? No, boys. You... You didn't hurt my... Thank you, boys. I'll be both proud and happy to be post-mistress of Laurel Run. Well, we all turned to and built a special post office building, and everything was just fine. Only we had to make sure her temporary job was going to be permanent. And we figured that if the post office did a good thrive in business, that that had turned the trick. Good morning, Miss Baker. Lovely day, ain't it? I'll take ten dollars worth of them five-cent stamps. Howdy, Miss Baker. I got a few letters going out. Better give me some of them fancy fifty-centers. Maybe thirty or forty of them. Come in and look at the new wallpaper in my cabin, boys. Done the job myself. And every one of them stamps was bought from the post-mistress of Laurel Run. Business was flourishing, all right. But for some reason or other, that permanent appointment just didn't come through. And one day when I was alone with Miss Baker in the post office, I maybe got an inkling why. Would you mind my asking you for a piece of advice, Mr. Martin? Why, I'd be really delighted, Miss Baker. What's troubling you? Well, it's these here official letters. From the General Postal Office in San Francisco. They just keep on writing to me all the time. Writing to you? About what? Just nonsense. That's all plain nonsense. All about new rules and notifications and absurd questions and such. I have been referring them to the Postmaster at Hickory Hill for advice. Oh, you have? Yes, he's... he sort of admires mine. The loony. And what's he been saying about them? Well, he ain't answered the last couple I sent him and now I've got another one. I declare I don't know what to make of it. Maybe you could read it for me, Mr. Martin. You know, let's see. Postmistress Laurel Runn referred to our unanswered communication of the previous week compelled to remind you of Rule 47 of the... Rule 47? What's that, Miss Baker? Well, goodness, how should I know? That's true. That's true. Well, Miss Baker seems like some valuable money-letters has disappeared here about. They seem to think you ought to know something about them. Missing money-letters? Now, why would they imagine I would know anything about me? Why, how dare they? What do they mean? Why, if they're insinuating that I had anything to do with those letters disappearing, they're... No, no, just you don't worry, Miss Baker. Me and the boys will handle this. We've got to go to Washington and see the President. Well, if you do see him, Mr. Martin, just tell him for me he'd better run his post office a good deal better than he does. Goodness. While I hadn't let on to Miss Baker, this here was mighty, mighty serious business. Money-letters missing from government mail. So, when that stranger rode into town next day at sundown and made a B-line for the post office, I figured I'd better know what was going on. That's how come me to be sitting outside the open window sort of casual like just as he went in to talk to her. Good evening, Mrs. Baker. I'm Harry Holm, San Francisco. Good evening, Mr. Holm. What can I do for you? Apparently my note of advice number 201 miscarried and you don't recognize my name. I'm Harry Holm, the department agent from the general office in San Francisco. Department agent for that one. Yes, that one, Mrs. Baker. Well, I can assure you, Mr. Holm, you didn't have to come snooping around here. My register and way bills is in perfect order and my cash receipts for sales of stamps are quite satisfactory. Satisfactory, Mrs. Baker, for a station of its class, the sale of stamps and loyal runners unprecedented and the annals of the postal service. Well, there. Actually, my business down here doesn't concern you at all, Mrs. Baker, except in a minor way. You happen to have my communications to you, handy? Your commute? Goodness. I sent him over to the postmaster at Hickory Hill. You what? Well, I couldn't for the life of me make any sense out of Mr. Holm, so I just asked him what I should do. Mrs. Baker, he's the man we suspect of embezzling those moneylesses. Oh, no. Goodness, not... not... That's why I'm here. To prove the Hickory Hill postmaster is the guilty one. But how can you do that here, Mr. Holm? We mailed a decoy letter from Cripple Creek. Hickory Hill is the only station between there and here. If the letter's not in the omnibus way bag when it arrives here, we'll know it was removed at Hickory Hill. I... I see. The way bag leaves Hickory Hill at C830. It's an hour's run to here, so I'll be here at 9.30 to receive it, open it, get my proof, and dispatch it again. Goodness. Such excitement. Decoy letters and robbery. It makes me feel kind of faint. Well, as acts of no need for you to be here, Mrs. Baker, you can go home if you wish. I'll handle everything. Well, now that's mighty kind of you, Mr. Holm. I do think I'd better retire. I'm afraid there are times when a poor, weak woman like me just ain't up to things in a man's world. Well, now, maybe Betsy Baker wasn't up to things in a man's world, but she was sure up to something. Because she didn't go to her cabin. She went to my stable, saddled up my Mustang, and rode him away like she was possessed. Let the wind between here and Hickory Hill got to the post office two minutes for 8.30 and then turned to the young and surprised postmaster. Now, no pretty speeches, Stanton Green. Just tell me one thing quick. Where's the money letter that come in that mail bag? What do you mean, Betsy? I don't know of any money letters. We ain't got time to play games, Stanton Green. That letter is a decoy. Check through at Cripple Creek. Decoy? Yes. And Mr. Holm of San Francisco is waiting at my desk right now to learn if you've taken it. Now, where is it? It's right here, Betsy. But the seal is broken. You already opened it. Yes, I owed some bills, so I took something from the packet and gave it to the collector, but I was going to make it up the next mail. I swear it was. How much did you take? It was only a try. How much? A hundred dollars. A hundred? Oh, my goodness. Oh, well. Lucky I brought my purse along. Oh, no, no, Betsy. Nothing. I'm not your money. Shut up. I'm counting. Sixty. Seven. Nine. There. Now, let's have that packet. So now toss the packet in the waybag. But the seal's broken. If the money's found in the bag, the packet could have broke accidentally. Now dump it in. Now Mr. Holm won't find anything out of the way. Oh, Betsy. Betsy, darling, I don't know how to thank you. Was I asking for thanks, Stanton Green? No, of course you weren't. But a woman in love never does. A woman in love? Stanton Green, your loony. Am I? Then why did you race here? Why'd you give me that money? Involve yourself in this thing if you didn't love me. I'll tell you, you simpleton. I did all that for only one person. John Baker. John Baker? Yes, John Baker. Because I'm John Baker's wife and I'm waiting for him. While I'm waiting, I'm doing my best to carry on his work for him. You're one of his boys, his best friend. And if John Baker could give up his... his life to save you, I guess maybe I can risk a little trouble and disgrace. Now do you understand? Yes. Yes, Mrs. Baker, I... Well then, take my purse. Pay back the rest of the money you stole from the government. And if there's anything left, use it to start yourself in an honest life somewhere else. You're going now, Mrs. Baker? Yes, I'm going. I think I'll race the express back to Laurel Run. And I'll not only beat him, I bet I'll break the record as well. Goodbye, Stanton. The express man got to Laurel Run at 9.31. Mr. Holm had the omnibus way bag in the post office at 9.32 and 1.5. And at 9.34 he'd finished counting the money. Well, I declare Mr. Holm the money's all there. Yes, yes it is, Mrs. Baker. Stanton Green is safe this time and I'm just as glad. You are? Yes. I understand the man was a close friend of your husband's and a man who's more fool than naive. Now perhaps this means he's learned his lesson and will make restitution. Oh my goodness, I hope so, Mr. Holm. Well, that finishes my work here. I'll believe it now, but before I do, Mrs. Baker, did Stanton Green leave Hickory Hill and go away, as you undoubtedly advised? Leave Hickory Hill? Go away. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, no, no, no, of course you don't. Well, that's silly of me to imagine it. Oh, by the way, Mrs. Baker, you might be interested in learning something. Now, when the postal department puts money in a decoy letter, we always use marked coins. Always? You... you... Mark? Yes, yes, but then that's a bit of information I don't think you'll need as permanent postmistress of Laurel Run. Will you? Good night, Mrs. Baker. Well, I declare. Oh, wasn't Mr. Holm the sweetest loony? I'd like to thank Virginia Gregg and our cast for their wonderful performance of Bret Hart's classic and also tell you the rather strange thought that occurred to me while listening to the story. Believe it or not, it was about icebergs. You know, only 10% of an iceberg is seen above water. The other massive 90% is normally concealed beneath the surface of the sea. In other words, we see only the tip, the peak, the least substantial part of the iceberg. Now, what brought all this on? Well, the postmistress of Laurel Run turned out to be a person of hidden depths and untapped strength, and there are a lot of people in the world like her, men and women who surprise you by revealing unsuspected qualities of good beneath a shallow, flighty exterior. Times of hardship and crisis bring out the best in them, while others fail to measure up. And I've often wondered what makes the difference, that extra something which enables the really strong person to meet a challenge successfully. I'll guarantee one thing, faith in God and in prayer has a lot to do with it. No individual, no family can help but be stronger if prayer is a part of their daily lives. It's a source of character. It's the concealed 90% of our character. We, or the family theater, invite you to find out for yourselves what prayer can do for you and your family. Why not begin the practice of daily family prayer in your home today? And then you'll realize that the family and only the praise together stays together. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. And the supporting cast included Jim Nussar, Ralph Moody, Howard McNair, Jack Petruzzi, and Barton Yarbrough.

the successful rollout of the vaccine means it's at least plausible that within a few months we'll be able to have meetings in real life instead of on zoom however there could be elements of the online platform which we'll miss i personally have grown. Fairly font of never leaving my room it's quite nice i can do these shows on here it'll be nice to go back to the studio but at the same time there are clearly downsides. There are also other benefits of having meetings on zoom for example hosts can eject abusive attendees with relative ease where once a fight might have broken out if it were in in real life in a room on Thursday a clip of an incident along these lines went viral this is from a meeting of hand forth Paris council. You have no authority here Jackie weaver no authority at all. She's just kicked him out. No she's. Don't don't she's kicked him out don't. This is a meeting called by two councillors. Illegally may now elect a chairman know they can't because of ice chairs here I take charge. Read the standing orders read them and understand them. Read the standing orders that's been viewed four point two million times the last time I checked presumably a little bit more than that now. If you ever been in a meeting quite that aggressive if I have been it's probably been a local government meetings because I don't want to say if I have been it was probably me. Just me like screaming yeah I think like I think there is this like tendency to like really romanticize like local government and stuff but without realizing that oftentimes it could be like incredibly charged and like difficult chaotic like spaces but yeah I feel like if I have been in one it's probably been in like a local government context like this one. So that was that was a 30 second clip which went as I say completely viral. It's also been like leading the news today I don't think enough happened today and but there is also a longer video online so there's an 18 minute highlights video very entertaining I've watched the whole thing we're not going to show you the whole thing we're just going to show you some choice segments so you can get an idea of what that anger was about. Why was he so annoyed that the was she wasn't the chair we'll get to that it's actually quite complicated. The chair she wasn't that Jackie Weaver hadn't read the standing order right this is how the meeting starts. When do we plan to start. I think we could start any moment chairman and I think it's perhaps helpful just to go through the same things as we went through before which is just to encourage people to switch off their microphones because it does reduce the background. That being which tells us that somebody else wants to come in so I'll continue to admit people if you'd like to start the meeting. So you didn't imagine that the second sentence said was fuck off. It was it was unclear who was saying fuck off to who thought they were muted but it really did set the scene for what was to come so in the next clip you'll start to work out what some of the beef was about. Can we be assured that we won't be thrown out of the meeting like we were last time. And as long as we have reasonable behavior from everyone no one would be excluded from the meeting I was I was thrown out of the meeting. So was so was counselor Broughtham at the point of order chairman. Could we start again. Check. Check. We haven't started the meeting yet. Do you want to speak anyway. I really love the guy quite rightly and then you get Julie's iPad come up to sort of really really remove some of the tension. So the man you saw there whose tag is hand for PC Clark and we'll come to that later because he wasn't actually the Clark again another source of controversy he was Brian Tolver who is chair of Hanford Council. He is furious that Jackie Weaver she's sort of the main character all of this really she's been sent to host the meeting by Cheshire Association of local councils on the request of other counselors who had complained of poor. Behavior the next clip will show you I suppose suggest why those complaints might have arisen. Are you here as the proper officer. I am here offering support to Hanford Parish Council in the conduct of this meeting this evening. You're not the proper officer. Is that as Clark or proper officer. There's no difference between Clark and proper officer. Of course there is yes there is you must know the basic law. Are we going to start this meeting. It isn't it isn't the role of somebody who however kindly volunteers to do the clarking for a meeting to act as a proper officer if they haven't so been appointed that's against the law. And let me also quote to you the standing orders of Hanford but when you stop talking. Oh my god. In the whole thing you're going to keep getting more and more shocked by what you see. I've only seen this short clip where he yells at her. I don't know why but this is triggering me really. Oh, I really like that line. I'm going to use that before you don't know the basic law. You don't know the basic look because I know what it means by basic look. I don't do laws apply to the stand like are there laws about the standing orders of parish council meetings. I'm not sure we'll need a legal expert for that one. Let's go to our next clip. I think we have some more poor behavior here from from the elected chair who has provoked complaints. Points of order according to our standing orders are determined by the chair. If you want to raise a point of order as a councillor you ask if you can raise a point of order you state it and then the chair decide it is not for the clock to raise a point. It is not for the clock to decide what kind of order. And you must be aware of that. God knows what you're doing. If you don't know that this meeting is, shall we elect an alternative chairman? Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm just in a meeting at the moment. I'm going to give you a call back when it finishes. The good one. OK, all right, bye, bye. Julie's iPad, I think, is really the star of the whole show. Because every time you've got like this enormous like tension rising. She's just like, hey, I'm not listening. Yeah, well, because it's not even Julie, it's Julie's iPad and then you go, sorry, I'm in a meeting. That's that's one thing I think I will miss from from two meetings. Let's go to where the drama really starts. This bit is a bit a bit longer because it's this is the real action. This is this is the best bit of that 18 minute clip. Let's take a look. We'll start the meeting and I want to repeat what I said at the beginning of the last meeting. But this meeting has not been called according to the law. The law has been broken. It has been properly. Will you please let the chair. This is where the please. Disrupt this meeting. I will have to remove you from it. You can't. It's only the chairman who can remove people from a meeting. You have no authority here, Jackie Weaver, no authority at all. She's just kicked him out. No, she's kicked him out. Don't don't just kick him out. Don't. This is a meeting called by two councillors. Illegally may now elect a chairman. No, they can't because the vice chairs here, I take charge. Read the standing orders. Read them and understand them. Dear me. Appalling behaviour. Chairman gone. A copy of this will, in fact, be sent to the monitoring office. I'll just get out of those people. Where's the chairman? Read the standing orders. It now reboots to me. Where's the chairman gone? I'd like to elect a chairman for this meeting. You don't have to elect a chairman. There's a chairman already installed. The chairman of the council. Councillor Birkel, we've been through this. What are you talking about? You don't know what you're talking about. Chairman, the chairman of the council is the chairman of the council. Yeah, I'm the subpoena, everybody. Could I ask you to be respectful to Jackie Weaver please? Here comes the subpoena. Chairman. I'll have to leave. You go as a house woman. She's kicked Barry out some way, but don't. Barry, no. Barry has gone. I'll stay. Take a picture of my house, be careful. We're trying to have a team's meeting, you fool. We're trying to have a team's meeting, you fool. We can't if you've got that. We just don't. Jackie Weaver, I find that the person on Aleb Bruton's Zoom is being very disrespectful to everybody. Coming from you from Birkenhead, that sounds good. My first point is to apologise to Jackie, but welcome to Handforth. John Smith is one of my favourite ones. He's the voice of the audience, just being like, what? Because he seems really impartial, because the guy on Aleb's the guy on Aleb's iPad on the couch, he's obviously sort of, you know, laughing in quite a contemptuous way, whereas John Smith is is like laughing, but just in a neutral, in a neutral way. He's our voice in the room, of just being like, what the fuck? Also, stop doing that. I also think this is the definition of power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts, absolutely. Because clearly being involved in the parish council has completely gone to their head. And I'm just very, very scared right now. Is this what's going on in our communities? Isn't the message more that even a little bit of power can corrupt almost absolutely? Absolutely, exactly. You have the almost, I suppose it must have been Aleb, if it was Aleb's iPad, yeah, it was Aleb, who moved into this sort of golem sort of style of speaking, where you couldn't work out what he says. We are using Microsoft Teams, you fool! It's fantastic, the whole thing's fabulous. Anyway, Tolver, so he was the chair, he was the chair who was ejected from Zoom, even though Jackie Weaver didn't have the authority. Apparently she didn't have the authority because you have to have a vote before you eject someone from the room. She constitutionally didn't have the authority, but spiritually she absolutely had the authority. Well, most people's takes on this actually has been that she had the moral authority, and I do kind of fall down on that side. I think I struggle to have sympathy for Aleb or the chair, who apparently hadn't held a meeting for a few months anyway, so I don't know if he'd been doing his chairmanship properly, but I'd seen some arguments from people on the left. I hate the drama and nothing else. They were saying, why are we on Jackie Weaver's side? She's the bureaucrat. She's been imposed from the top down to undermine local democracy, and the chair is quite right to be a little bit annoyed, which is the position he has taken. So he spoke to the Associated Press today. Jackie Weaver's been on the airway. She's the one getting the platform. She's been on Woman's Hour, she's been on Times Radio, but the chair, who is Brian Tolver, he did get to have his say. He spoke to Associated Press and said, I cannot think of any other council meeting anywhere that was taken over by an unqualified member of the public like this, removing half the councillors from the meeting, denied half of the voters of the village from being represented. It was an appalling attack on our democratic rights. The sort of calling her an unqualified member of the public, I suppose it was a bit hard because she was brought in by the local council association of Cheshire. So obviously, the sort of larger body had recognised that there was a bit of a problem in one of the units below them. On the request of some of the councillors, they bring in Jackie Weaver to mediate. She attempts that and then lots of people throw a bit of a hissy fit. Are you sure you're on Jackie Weaver's side, Dali, or is there a sort of shadow of doubt in your mind that maybe the chair and Allid with his golem voice, with his subpoenas, he was sending subpoenas, but do you have a shadow of a doubt as to whose side you're falling on? If I was Jackie Weaver, I would have injected myself. I would have just been like, you'll have issues. It's not my problem. Goodbye. So that was the correct position, I think, to just excuse herself for the whole narrative. She was chill. If you watch the whole video, she goes on to say, because someone asked, why had the chair written in his little badge, which was quite funny, because then she was like, is that a real badge? It was very, they were all completely confused about how Zoom works. But she was saying, no, he's just called himself the clerk, which doesn't make him the clerk. You can call me Britney Spears if you like. She was, she had some wit about her. I think she enjoyed the whole affair, to be honest.

Maths XII ICSE 9 SE20

gItdyCenKSQ

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we are going to discuss the following question which says that Determine limit x tends to 3 x minus 3 raise to power x minus 3 An inhibitor's rule states that if f of x and g of x are the two functions such that f of a is equal to 0 and g of a is equal to 0 then limit x tends to a f of x by g of x is equal to limit x tends to a f dash of x upon g dash of x and this rule is also applicable for f of a is equal to infinity and g of a is equal to infinity. With this key idea let us proceed with the solution. We are to find the value of the expression limit x tends to 3 x minus 3 raise to power x minus 3 that is of 0 raise to power 0 form. Now let y be equal to x minus 3 raise to power x minus 3 Now taking log on both the sides we have log of y is equal to x minus 3 into log of x minus 3 which can also be written as log of y is equal to log of x minus 3 upon 1 upon x minus 3. Now taking limits on both the sides we have limit x tends to 3 log of y is equal to limit x tends to 3 log of x minus 3 upon 1 by x minus 3 Now if we put the value of x as 3 in this expression we get log of 3 minus 3 upon 1 upon 3 minus 3 that is log of 0 upon 1 by 0 which takes infinity by infinity form since log of 0 is equal to minus infinity and 1 by 0 is infinity. Therefore it takes infinity by infinity form and according to L-Hopital's rule we have if f of x and g of x are functions such that f of a is equal to 0 and g of a is equal to 0 then limit x tends to a f of x upon g of x is equal to limit x tends to a f dash of x upon g dash of x and this rule is also applicable for f of a is equal to infinity and g of a is equal to infinity. Now since limit x tends to 3 log of x minus 3 upon 1 upon x minus 3 takes infinity by infinity form therefore applying L-Hopital's rule we have limit x tends to 3 log of y is equal to limit x tends to 3 differential of log of x minus 3 with respect to x that is 1 upon x minus 3 upon differential of 1 upon x minus 3 with respect to x differential of 1 upon x minus 3 with respect to x that is minus 1 upon x minus 3 d whole square which is equal to limit x tends to 3 1 upon x minus 3 into x minus 3 d whole square by minus 1 which is equal to limit x tends to 3 minus of x minus 3 now if we put the value of x as 3 we get minus of 3 minus 3 that is 0 so limit x to 3 log of y is equal to 0 we can write log of limit x tends to 3 y is equal to 0 which implies that limit x tends to 3 y is equal to e raise to power 0 which is equal to 1 we have assumed the value of y as x minus 3 raise to power x minus 3 therefore we have limit x tends to 3 y that is x minus 3 raise to power x minus 3 is equal to 1 which is the required answer this completes our session hope you enjoyed this session

1987 Robotics Institute

With an introduction by Raj Reddy, the first head of the Robotics Institute, this video from 1987 gives a high-level overview of the department’s activities, including research in basic robotic technologies like manipulation.

GiqgCuYjsIg

The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University was established in 1979. It was the first major research institute in academia with a broad research agenda in robotics. Manufacturing, autonomous mobile systems, hazardous environments, and basic robotic sciences. Currently, the institute operates with an annual budget of $10 million, supports 35 full-time research faculty, 50 full-time programmers and engineers, and 45 graduate assistants. The Robotics Institute conducts research in basic robotic technologies, including manipulation, control, sensing, and vision. Direct drive manipulator technology was first conceived at our institute. It represents today's most advanced manipulators. The world's first direct drive arm prototype was developed in 1981. Four years later, a second version with a full six degrees of freedom was produced. Using these prototypes, researchers at the institute have been working on real-time model-based control for fast, precise, and dexterous motions. Fundamental research problems in object recognition, acquisition, and assembly are being approached in a number of ways. Objects at arbitrary positions and orientations are to be recognized. Motions are planned to accomplish the acquisition or assembly task. And finally, the plan is executed by manipulators. Robotic vision systems, artificial intelligence planning programs, and sensor-based manipulator control combine to provide solutions to this difficult problem. Providing mobility to robots presents challenging research problems. Researchers in the institute have constructed several indoor mobile robots to develop technologies for unique locomotion, for mapping the robot environment by vision and sonar sensing, for planning paths, and for navigating toward the goal. The Robotics Institute has addressed a comprehensive research agenda in advanced manufacturing technology since its founding. We have developed a forging cell capable of taking a hot billet through the forging process, part inspection, and measurement. The cell provides feedback information and corrects for hammerware that occurs during the forging process. A prototype robotic system was developed to assemble complex wire harnesses with multiple plug connectors. The system achieved reliability by incorporating force sensing and error recovery techniques. Automatic visual inspection is another important area in robot applications to manufacturing. The systems for inspecting printed circuit boards and similar complex products possess the capability of artificial skilled perception. Increasing flexibility in design, production, and decision making is the key to the factory of the future. Computer aided design systems can automatically generate programs for welding parts once they have been described in a CAD database. Decision making for operating highly automated plants will become more complex and swift as flexibility of production increases. The institute researchers have been developing intelligent management systems for planning, scheduling, and resource allocation. These systems improve the efficiency of engineering and supervisory personnel by providing expert systems to assist them in carrying out their work. An exciting new concept being developed for computer aided productivity is rapid prototyping. That is to design and prototype products in a very short period of time by fully integrating design and manufacturing functions. We've already demonstrated the ability to produce single board computer prototypes in 24 hours. This accomplishment paves the way for the micro factories of the future which the robotics institute plans to demonstrate in facilities near the campus. Robots can extend human capabilities by venturing into environments that are hazardous to humans. The remote reconnaissance vehicle and the remote core sampler developed at the institute are teleoperated robots specifically designed for use in the contaminated Three Mile Island Unit 2 containment. These robots were the only successful machine sent to the Three Mile Island plant and provided the vital information needed to plan a work agenda for the remote work vehicle. Another robot developed for nuclear accident recovery. These machines represent a class of rugged teleoperated robots that exhibit strength and adaptability for work in hostile and changing environments. We expect that these technologies will be used for toxic waste cleanup in the future. Under sponsorship of the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency researchers at the institute are engaged in developing a new breed of autonomous mobile robots. The Navigation Laboratory or NAVLAB is a self-contained mobile robot system with onboard sensors and computers. The goal of the project is to develop a mobile robot which negotiates roads and traverses diverse natural terrains autonomously by using sensors and artificial intelligence planners. Currently it steers itself along narrow winding asphalt paths while avoiding obstacles. With the aid of a supercomputer, the Warp, developed in Carnegie Mellon's Computer Science Department diverse sensor information is integrated to allow real-time navigation. Current sensing includes color video images from a TV camera and depth data from a laser scanning rangefinder. Researchers have been working on further advanced capabilities to recognize landmarks, travel across open country, and revise maps while moving. Robots for space is also part of the agenda at the institute. Research on human-robot interaction for space tele-robotics will enable astronauts to service, assemble, maintain and repair satellites in orbit with greater productivity. Recently, under NASA's sponsorship, we have started the Mars rover project. The developed technologies will be used for the Mars sample return mission to be launched by the United States at the turn of this century and for future explorations of other planets. As we have shown, the robotics institute at Carnegie Mellon University conducts a large comprehensive program of robotics research. In addition, dissemination of knowledge and technologies to American society is one of our founding premises. Since its founding, the institute has kept a close relationship with industries to facilitate the transfer of research innovations. Although it will remain interdisciplinary in nature, the field of robotics now has a sufficiently large and complex body of knowledge that must be transmitted systematically to the next generation of robotics researchers. Recognizing this need, the robotics institute is establishing a new PhD program to educate tomorrow's leaders in robotics, which is vital to our national economy and human welfare.

If you guys remember, Martin Luther King was more successful than Malcolm X for instance in pushing his agenda because he didn't say white people stop being mean to us. He said, white people, if you continue to be publicly mean to us, you are going to continue to degrade your brand in the eyes of the greater world. And part of maintaining your supremacy globally is convincing the world that you're its savior. Don't stop beating us because you like us because you don't, you don't, there's no reason for you to. Stop beating us because it fucks up your brand. Oh, and then unfortunately the brother started talking about black economics and he had to, he had to go. You know, I was having a conversation a while back and it was about Ellen, Ellen DeGeneres. And I think at the time people were talking about how she mistreats her employees or she's a dick or whatever the case may be. I was like, you know, why are y'all surprised? She's so charitable. You know, her show is basically around poor people, black people giving them money, giving them opportunity in the whole nine. During the conversation, I realized that we conflate gestures for intention, right? Because using Ellen as an example, and I'll tie this into pearl, if it wasn't for her giving black kids a stage, if it wasn't for her giving black kids scholarships, if it wasn't for her giving black kids a black people money, she would have no show. So is she doing these things out of the kindness of her heart or is she doing these things for ratings? It should be clear to us that there is no incentive for white altruism for our community outside of number one, maintaining a brand. And number two, in some way exploiting the perception of their altruistic gestures and altruistic thought, this white evangelical missionary hood that we have grown to associate with whiteness. History will show you that missionaries were sent in to make the way smooth for the actual soldiers to come and fuck shit up. So yeah, you know, those people could be good people. Those people could have a clear heart and a good conscience in the whole nine, but like they are being used by the greater powers that beat. Some of the quote unquote conservative black YouTubers, whose only claim to fame is the fact that they make white people feel good about themselves, whose only claim to fame is the fact that they parrot the things that white people wish they could say out loud in public. We need to evolve from thinking about racism as a micro interpersonal issue and thinking about it as a macro economic and structural issue. Again, going back to a global standpoint, how can a country like Nigeria or like Ghana, who are the size of Texas, maybe a little bit bigger, sit down at the same table and negotiate with the United States, sit down at the same table and negotiate with the United Kingdom, sit down at the same table and negotiate with China. It can't happen. Now do your due diligence and you go backwards and you see how history affects today. You realize that there was a Berlin conference where they strategically fractured Africa, so it would be easier to control. They pretty much shared it amongst themselves. The Spanish took this part, French took this part, the British took that part. Tangent real quick. I find it very interesting. I remember a couple years back, we were putting French flags in our profiles because of the bombing that had happened in France. And I find it very interesting that the French have convinced us, especially us, that they are the romance capital of the world. When if you study French history, particularly as it pertains to Africa, you would see Africa and black people, you would see that the French are some of the most ruthless, ruthless people that this planet has ever seen. Do we want to talk about Haiti? We want to talk about the Congo, but to the average person, and unfortunately, a lot of our women, our own black women, when they think of romance, they think of Paris. When something happens in France, it affects us all. It's the depth of our Stockholm syndrome is astounding. Shout out to a brother who watched one of my videos. He said something that I thought was brilliant. He said, stop pitching tents for clowns and there will be no more circus. And in the context that he was talking about, I got two things from me. Number one, pitching tents, you know, the euphemism for an erection when your pants are on pitching a tent, aka being aroused by problematic women, you know, clowns. But the other context I understood it too was, you know, creating platforms, creating, creating a stage for clowns or spectacles, for personalities instead of people, or the loudest in the room, not the smartest, the loudest in the room, not the most thoughtful, the most considerate. If just pearly things, MTR lead attorney and obsidian did a stream, they would have more viewers than if minister Louis Farrakhan gave a state of the union address. I could be right now. It would have more viewers and more listeners than if Louis Farrakhan himself gave a speech. And we want white folks to take us seriously. Well, these are the figures that we prop up. That's where our economic propellant goes. Because I think sometimes I'm like, okay, and this is part of the reason why I'm such a big fan of Tia Son Johnson. Because even as a 29 year old young man, when I project out, okay, what happens if person A becomes the biggest thing since sliced bread? What is the consequence? What is the consequence of person B becomes the biggest thing since sliced bread? And I thought that that is how grown ass men thought. Right? What's the consequence if Tia Son Johnson gains wealth and notoriety and is able to fund his research and is able to properly and thoroughly establish the Institute for Black Male Studies and establish that black men are worth studying past our utility and past the ways that we fuel the system. What is the consequence of that on a global historical scale? What's the consequence of if some white girl from the Midwest is the biggest thing since sliced bread? What's the consequence of some nigger who does reaction videos is the biggest thing since sliced bread? What's the consequence of some old nigger who just gets on YouTube and acts like it's a radio show becomes the biggest thing since like, how does that affect the bottom line? How does that affect my son or my son son? And what frustrates me is that like we can talk about a space that claims to be pro black male, not being pro black, we can talk about that. But what frustrates me is any group of men who are not solutions oriented to me are wasted space because I thought I thought I assumed that was our advantage over women. I assumed that as women stood in the catharsis of their emotions and women stood in, you know, their feelings and their traumas that men were solution oriented. What I've seen in the past year being on YouTube, past couple of months with this conversation is that no, a lot of men, unfortunately, they are the women that they complain about.

My name is Dr. King, and you know what I hate more than anything ever invented by mankind? Apple seeds. They have always been the bane of my miserable existence. Cut damn piece of shit at apple seeds. Never whole apples or maybe even sliced apples. Just the seeds going everywhere I go and ruining all my plans. Finally get a chance to test a big SCP. Apple seeds. Working my office. Seeds in the drawers. No matter where I go, apple seeds. But I'm going to change all that. For the past six weeks, I have locked myself alone in my office. The apple seeds have been slowly filling it up and they're up to my neck now. Tonight is the night I let those demon seeds win. Those hell spawned capsules of hatred have finally broken me. Because I cannot deal with one more goddamn apple seed. I hope they don't have apples in hell. Dr. King groaned as he was prone to do in waking up and scrunched his eyes. Was he dead? Was this after? Didn't feel very after. In fact, his face felt like it was resting on a familiarly textured surface. Apple seeds. Dr. King's legs scrambled for ground as he sprung from a prone state, sending apple seeds scattering across the seedy ground. Absolute despair and anguish washed over him in waves, sending him tumbling back to the seeded earth. No. F***. It's not supposed. God damn it. Why won't you leave me? Preoccupied as he was with lament and despair, Dr. King failed to notice the celestial figure approaching him from on high. It was an apple, a whole one with leaves as green as the sea and a shimmer surpassed by none. It had one sticker, a fixed to a side, which shone a golden A shimmering across the landscape. Rise, King. Dr. King flipping around and his jaw would have dropped had it not already been hacking a gape, swinging like a pinata in the wind. Q, what? My son, your final time has come. Broomed the giant flying apple. Dr. King blinked. My time? What the hell are you talking about? A shimmer bright red liberated itself from the apple and spread over the land, blasting everything that had once subscribed to other colors on the spectrum into a brilliant, vibrant red. There is no time to waste. You were born to create apples. Now your time has come. The world is in crisis and the only solution is apples. What? Suddenly, King's mind was veiled with images. He was riding an apple chariot into Site 19 and all the senior staff were apples. They bowed down to him and ready the apple throne for him to sit in. Panning out, the site was apples. Slices made up every wall and the head of every researcher was replaced with rotund healthy apples. There was no danger because skips were apples. The whole world was apple. So you see, it is. Where are you going? King was already gone. No. I am not going to be the king of the f***ing apples. But it is your destiny. King turned the floating apple, which called itself his father. His face was even redder than the world that surrounded him. F*** destiny. And then Dr. King was apples no more. How is he holding up Doc? Well, we recovered about 765 apple seeds from his trachea in addition to the couple thousand we got from the rest of his orifices. Are they still cleaning out his office? Yeah, we'll be digging seeds out of there for a month, poor guy. Man, he looked so pissed when they brought him in there. But now, heck, he looks happier than I've seen in a while. Makes you wonder what he's thinking, doesn't it? Whatever it is, at least it's making him happy. End of file.

Design of slab base

Mr. Quazi Syed Shujat Ali Assistant Professor, Civil Engineering Department, Walchand Institute of Technology, Solapur.

gInOIJdb3_0

the design of slab base, we will see the design procedure as well as we will see one example, so how to design our slab base. If you want to see the theoretical background of the slab base, we have I have another video on this, so you can refer that video for the theoretical background of the slab base. Learning outcome of the is that at the end of the session students will be able to design the slab base. We have discussed all these procedure in our previous videos, just now I will just we will take that and overview all step overview of the steps. You can find all these steps in my previous videos also previous video also. First of all we will assume our grade of concrete then we will find out the bearing strength of concrete which is equal to 0.45 fck, we get the value of bearing strength of concrete which is a stress bearing stress bearing strength, now we will get the value of area which is equal to p divided by the bearing strength of concrete this is 0.45 fck, so load from column divided by the bearing strength of concrete will get the required area. These are the various projections of the slab base length width depth of column longer projection smaller projection design procedure. If we assume the square base plate we will find out the value of l and b which is equal to under root a and b to achieve economy we will keep both the projections equal and we will find out the value of a which is equal to b by this equation d plus 2b into bf plus 2a which is equal to a we will find out a and b by this equation. Now intensity of pressure w can be find out by p divided by a1 where a1 is the area of the base plate provided in mm what actually we are providing is a1, now the minimum thickness of the slab base is calculated from equation number 6 it should not be less than the thickness of the column flange. Then nominal we are providing holding down bolts which are 2 or 4 in numbers of 20 mm when we are when the base plate is subjected only to the axial compressive load will provide only 2 bolts will be it will be enough we will see one example the question is design a slab base for a column section is hb 350 at 710.2 Newton per meter subjected to an factored axial compressive load of 150 kilo Newton load is transferred to the base plate by direct bearing of column flanges the base rest on concrete pedestal of grade m20. And solution is first of all we will assume grade of steel which is equal to Fe410 and for Fe410 Fe which is equal to ultimate capacity of the steel which is equal to 410 mega Pascal yield strength equal to 250 mega Pascal and for m20 grade concrete bearing strength of concrete as per code is equal to 0.45 fck which is equal to 9 Newton per mm square. As per is 800 2007 the partial safety factor for material is equal to 1.1 and for weld it is equal to 1.25 for shop welding. Now from is handbook we will take down the properties that is properties of is hb 350 thickness of flange tf is equal to 11.6 mm thickness of web tw is equal to 10.1 mm depth of section 350 mm width of flange bf equal to 250 mm square. Now first of all we will calculate the area of the slab base a is equal to load in Newton divided by the bearing pressure in Newton per mm square we will get the value in mm square we will convert it into meter square. And let us provide a rectangular base plate of length of size l by b and we will assume a equal to b equal overhang. Now we have to find out this overhang we have got this value area of the base plate then we will get l from our handbook 350 that is the depth of column plus 2 a is unknown we are going to find this a multiplied by b is the width of flange 250 and we assume a equal to b so a equal to 55.24 mm we will round off it to 60 mm and we will get length as 470 mm and width as 370 mm. Now the bearing pressure of concrete is determined by w is equal to p by a1 which is equal to 150 multiplied by 1000 and actual area what we have provided. Now the value comes out to be 8.62 Newton per mm square which is less than 9 Newton per mm square which is alright. Okay what is mean by this 9 what is 9 we have given the grade of concrete as 20 Newton per mm square and for 20 Newton per mm square the bearing strength of concrete comes out to be 9 Newton per mm square which is equal to 0.45 fck 0.45 into 20 which is equal to 9 Newton per mm square which is greater than 8.62 so it is safe. Now to find out the thickness T s which is equal to under root 2.5 w into a square minus 0.3 b square into gamma m naught upon f y this equation w is the bearing pressure 8.62 is the smaller projection b is the longer projection but here in case we have kept the projections equal 60 and 60 gamma m naught 1.1 f y 250. So 2.5 8.62 60 0.3 60 1.1 250 the thickness comes out to be 15.458 mm we will provide it as 16 mm. First of all we have seen that clause it should be greater than the thickness of flange. Now what is the thickness of flange for I s H b 350 11.6 greater than thickness of flange therefore safe. Hence provide a base plate of 470 by 370 by 16 mm size here I have provided a 470 by 370 60 60 I have provided 2 volts of 20 mm y you will see here. In the question we have given the load is transferred to the base plate by direct bearing. This implies that the column end and base plate have been machined for perfect bearing. Direct bearing we have taken perfect bearing. Also we have not given any bending moment in the question therefore connection of the column with base need not be designed. However to keep the column in position we need some cleat angles. So we will provide 2 cleat angles of nominal size 55 by 55 by 8 you can take another size also it is a nominal size 55 by 55 by 8 is provided for connecting the column flanges with the base plate as shown in the given figure this is the cleat angle. We are providing we have to connect this flange to the base plate by the help of this cleat angle. We are provided with 2 volts of 20 mm size. Now if there are some review question you can pause the video and answer these questions. The very first question is the bearing strength for M25 grade of concrete is just now we have seen for M20 grade concrete now we have to say what is the bearing strength of concrete for M25 grade of concrete. And next question is calculate the area required for the slab base to carry an axial compressive load of 1000 kilo Newton we take grade of concrete as M20. So you have to calculate the area these are the answers the bearing strength of concrete for M25 grade is equal to 11.25 Newton per square how it comes which is equal to 0.45 fck 0.45 into 25 area is nothing but load divided by 0.45 fck. So load is 1000 into 1000 divided by 0.45 into 20 we will get it as 0.1111 meter square these are my references thank you.

Preventing Overdose and Naloxone Intervention

Michelle McKenzie, MPH Jan. 22

GijoyPHFzLE

Good afternoon everyone. Happy New Year and welcome back to campus. I hope that you all had an enjoyable winter break Thank you all for being here today. My name is Anne Mitchell, and I am the director for health services We are all well aware of the opioid epidemic and how it is plaguing our nation It's dangerous full-blown and does not discriminate It can affect people of all walks of life and any age More than 130 people in the United States die each day from an accidental opioid overdose in Rhode Island alone 323 individuals lost their lives in 2017 This issue has become a public health National crisis with devastating consequences. We need to be proactive in our efforts to combat this crisis The training you are receiving today is an important step for the Roger Williams community That's you and I to demonstrate our commitment to doing something about the growing epidemic Roger Williams University is taking the lead on addressing this crisis by supporting campus-wide training on Opioid overdose prevention and making naloxone more readily available throughout campus. I Would like to personally thank President Workman and Dr. John King for supporting this initiative a Special thank you to student-led groups the John Jay society and health and wellness Educators for their efforts in bringing overdose intervention training to this campus and Thank all of you for participating in this program. I am pleased to introduce our guest speaker Michelle McKenzie is a public health researcher at the Miriam Hospital Brown Alpert Medical School Her focus for the last 12 years has been on opioid overdose prevention She is co-founder of Pony preventing overdose and naloxone intervention which began in 2006 Last year Pony distributed more than 6,500 naloxone kits to Rhode Islanders She sits on the governor's overdose prevention task force and co-chairs the naloxone work group Please join me in welcoming Michelle. Thank you so much. So wait you guys can hear me. Yeah, okay Thank you so much and it has been a pleasure I've got to spend the day here and it has been really great and I Appreciated so much the students who attended this morning session And I am delighted to be here this afternoon. So what I'm gonna do today is Provide in a background of the issue of opioid addiction and opioid overdose death here in Rhode Island Focus more on what's happening in Rhode Island But I can say that this is really a problem across the country And I'd like to also point out that while I'm gonna be focusing on focusing on opioids because in fact that is as Anne said is what is causing really a Crisis of fatalities in our country right now it is a bigger issue of addiction and Particularly alcohol plays an important role in that other substances play an important role and for the first time really in the history of our country for the last two years the CDC has Has found that we are our life expectancy in this country has shortened Not by a lot. Thank goodness a couple of months But in fact because of the diseases of addiction and suicide what they're calling the diseases of despair We're actually having shorter lives as a result of that So this is it's so important that college campuses take this on you know head on and that is so it It's great to be part of the work that you're here doing here at Roger Williams University So I'm gonna give again where I'm gonna be focusing on opioids We're gonna give a background and then also and we're gonna do a sort of more hands-on how to prevent Recognize an intervene and I have naloxone kits available today for anyone who would like it Okay So there have been multiple waves of the epidemic that really began in the mid 90s with increased prescribing of prescription opioids for acute and chronic pain and I I'm not going to get into the details of that because there's a there's a lot of factors that were involved with that but basically beginning in 9596 in response to real concerns by folks who were suffering with cancer and end of life that there needed to be more aggressive treatment of pain for folks in these specific conditions there was You know the insurance companies the doctors etc and the pharmaceutical companies importantly people came together and said okay we're gonna more aggressively treat pain the Method by which it was chosen to do that is prescription opioids and one of the things that really fueled that was Purdue Pharma in 96 very aggressively marketed oxycontin and Marketed it in a way to say that it was good for everyday pain now opioids play a very important role in Managing pain. There is no question about that But they it does not meant to treat everyday pain and so Oxycontin really had Was did unprecedented marketing of this product that and contain in along with policies that were I'll just say that they're Part of it was a siloed our siloed medical system sort of not Physicians not being trained in addiction medicine not understanding the consequences of Opioid use disorder or opioid addiction The really the look for the magic bullet, right? We were that's kind of we're used to that We are looking for the magic bullet and so that was what Opioid pain relievers were perceived to be and so there was a whole cell adoption of using Prescription or opioids to treat pain for basically about 15 years from the mid 90s to to mid-2000s Into 2000s and what we saw was that as the increase of prescription Oh, if there was an increase in prescription opioids We also saw an increase of fatalities with the same slope Of people who were dying having non-fatal overdoses and fatal overdoses from prescription opioids It took a while for the medical establishment to recognize that there were these Unintended unintended consequences as a result of using opioids so much for acute and chronic pain And I'm going to take it just a moment to explain Opioids work are folks familiar with opioids. What are some examples of opioids? Vicodin, that's a good example. It's another Percocet Oxycontin morphine morphine has been around forever Opium opium heroin. These are all examples of well heroin's not prescription opium. Well heroin used to be available actually In the early 1900s not prescribed, but it was available legally So There was what opioids do is they attach to the opioid receptors in the body So everybody has naturally occurring opioids And so they attach to the opioid receptors and they do what they do they In one part of the central nervous system that they work on is the limbic system So people that which causes feelings of relaxation and contentment. So in addition to doing Treating and working on the brainstem and treating pain. There's also this other feeling It's the dating and it's also can be euphoric And while the vast majority of people who use prescription opioids will not have a problem with it, right? That's that's real most people who use it won't have a problem but if you think about that in mid 1990s where there were very few people who were being exposed to prescription opioids at all So the number I will say heroin particularly in Rhode Island has been around forever, right? So we've had a problem with here and but we're starting out with prescription opioids now So there was this there the number of people who had access to prescription opioids was low So while it is true that the vast majority of people won't have a problem with prescription opioids People who are at risk of developing a problem the more people who are exposed to it the more people Who are also at risk, right? So and when you have exponential growth of the access to prescription opioids not only through Be it being prescribed. So we're seeing it, you know, we particularly this time for it being prescribed for any kind of acute pain broken arm Surgery, of course Having your teeth extracted etc etc being prescribed both from emergency rooms and from urgent care centers Being widely used for chronic pain for which it's not really meant to be used for And we saw that what it was doing is people would take home their prescriptions their opioid prescriptions And it would be in the cabinet and then many more people had access to it Because if you think about it if I'm being prescribed something that is good for me, you know, it's supposed to be good for me I don't have to worry about it because these warnings were not happening then then why would it be for good for you, right? And so it is was the case that people shared their medication But also that people that they didn't necessarily share it but that it was accessed from their Bathroom cabinets, so we had not only all of the prescribing that was happening But all of the folks who ads had access to those prescription opioids that were in people's homes so by the late 2000 2010 around 2010 2012 that particularly by 2012 here in Rhode Island There was this recognition of the unintended consequences of having all of these prescription opioids out in the world and so there was a Real focus to start raining that in But one of the things when I talked about that we all that what opioids do is they attach to the opioid receptors A thing that happens and if this happens with alcohol and it happens with opioids if you use opioids over time you actually change the neurotransmitters in the brain and So you develop a tolerance or dependence to opioids. Let me ask have anybody has anybody seen those commercials those truth commercials Right, and so do you know what the tagline at the end is I think dependence in five days Those come or so that's of course individual It's not going to be the same for everybody, but it is true that if you use an opioid for an extended period of time Your brain chemistry changes and you need that opioid if you start taking if you just all of a sudden stop taking it Since your receptors are like wait, where is that? I need that opioid if you're gonna get sick So my mom had a surgery she had to take She had it was a big surgery. She had scoliosis and had a titanium rod in her back She had to be on Oxycontin for Weeks and so if she had stopped that Oxycontin all at once She would have gotten sick because she had developed a tolerance to it And that is just a physiological thing that happens when you take opioids over a long period of time but she was able to Taper or we went in conjunction with her physician who took her off a little bit at a time And so she did not experience Withdrawal symptoms so withdrawal is when you If you stop you've developed a Dependence or tolerance and you stop all at once you're gonna get really sick. Who has Anybody heard of withdrawal? So what does it do? What is it busy? What are symptoms of withdrawal? Exactly all of those things. It's like a super intense flu Is there no think about this so people here's the setting right people have been Particularly folks on chronic medication. They're treating their chronic pain They've been on opioids for ever how long maybe months maybe longer and now there's a really intense scrutiny On people getting too much prescription opioids, right? So one of the consequences is that They're Honestly, we're still struggling with this right now Not having a super well thought-out plan about how are we gonna address it for people who are struggling with Dependence and maybe addiction if we take those medications away, what's gonna happen? Exactly right. That's exactly right. So people will first look to Get other prescription opioids either from friends or family then maybe from the street But honestly heroin was cheaper, right and heroin was more potent And so there was sort of by 2012 in this state what we saw So what this graph shows us is that by 2012 in this state We actually had a shift that gray line was the fatalities Related to prescription opioids and we see that leveling off and decreasing But the yellow line is from illicit opioids and in 2012 illicit opioids were heroin And there was a very dramatic increase in overdose deaths and in part the reason for that is that when people shift from Using a prescription medication where they know exactly what the dose is They know exactly what they're getting to the illicit market where there's no information about what you're getting and to Confirmed that even more is that even by 2012 and most certainly by 2015 our illicit Drug supply was really radically changing. So there had been examples of fentanyl. So who's her a fentanyl? Okay, what is it? You all raised your hand somebody knows this It's it's a strong okay. This is a chlorate. So fentanyl is a very strong medic pain medication It's used in very specific circumstances And it is true. There's absolutely pharmaceutical grade grade fentanyl and it has been used, you know diverted For a long time too, but the fentanyl that I'm talking about here is actually completely synthetic fentanyl that is Created abroad and enters the drug supply stream. It is it's all illicit. So these are made and Not made at the pharmacy So it's not so it's not a fentanyl that you know what the dose is that you know what you're getting So both the heroin and the fentanyl is being manufactured illicitly and entering the drug supply So by 2015 by the final quarter of 2015 what we'd see we saw was a shift from most Overdoses being attributable to heroin They're now attributable to fentanyl and we've been in that Wave if you will that wave of the crisis for the last several years So we now have a super saturated opioid drug supply of fentanyl There's barely any heroin and part of the reason that that's the case is that Economically, it's just doesn't make as much sense heroin has to be grown the poppy seeds have to be grown Harvested produced Fentanyl is 50 times more potent than heroin. So you need much less of the drug so for it truly for supply-side reasons that is the manufacturers said okay, there's we have this huge market and There is a drug that is more potent cheaper to make and easier to get into the country And so we now have really the opioid supply is completely saturated now This is not happening in all geographic regions the West Coast for instance is not being as impacted by fentanyl as we are But along the Northeast Corridor and the Appalachian we have been completely saturated So and mentioned this earlier What I hope was the height of the Fatalities and that we are on a downward a permanent downward trend was in 2016 We lost 336 people to overdose in Rhode Island. So that's almost a person a day And there had been a as you saw in the earlier graph There had been just increasing every year the number of people who died from overdose in 2017 for the first time in over a decade. We actually saw a slight decrease It certainly certainly has not enough, but we are seeing At least the correct trend is to be going down in 2018 We don't have all the numbers yet, but it looks like that we will we will have fewer than 323 deaths. We are just not exactly sure how many but expecting again a slight decrease So this graph just or just this map just shows that there's literally not a city or town in Rhode Island That hasn't been impacted by this epidemic Everyone has lost every city in town in the country state rather has lost someone and If this is this is the number of people who died Non-fatal overdoses are actually exponentially larger than this and certainly again is an issue in every city in town Okay so You know how I mentioned that we're in the third wave of the epidemic So the first being sort of the increased use of prescription opioids and shifting to Elicit that the beginning it was heroin and now it's fentanyl we may be in the fourth wave So what we saw in 2017 and we don't have the numbers for 2018 yet was there was a 30% increase in cocaine overdoses Fatalities where there was no other opioid with the cocaine except for fentanyl So the thought was that is that there are Drugs are being contaminated with fentanyl unknown by perhaps even the dealer and definitely the user and so Of course people who have a tolerance for fentanyl because they regularly use the Use opioids from the illicit drug opioids play they have okay They have a tolerance for fentanyl people who do not have a tolerance and have take a substance that is not You know, they think you're taking cocaine or methamphetamine or molly or ecstasy And it has fentanyl in it They are at very high risk of overdose because their body does not have tolerance For the opioid for the fentanyl that is in that substance So that is there's a lot of focus now on Stimulants and the possibility of them being contaminated with fentanyl But but I want to point out that almost all fatalities have multiple drugs in their system one of the Risk factor for having an overdose is using Mixing drugs and if you think about it opioids slow your breathing down And if you take another drug that's a downer like Benzodiazepines and alcohol or alcohol or and alcohol you're having a multiplying effect on your breathing on your on your respiratory system But even if you take a stimulants that opioids and stimulants that overwhelms the body and Increases the risk of overdose So this graph just shows the degree to which fentanyl and this is again that the year for which we have the latest data is Is is a is that issue 70% of deaths in 2017 were related to fentanyl of overdose deaths Okay So are there any before I get into this are there any questions about sort of the bigger picture? Hey, I was so clear. I'm glad I will say I Towards the end in few more slides. I'm going to show a website website called prevent overdose Ri prevent overdose ri. That's a fantastic website if people are interested in this issue want to know About treatment availability we're about getting the lots on want to know about any Statistics in the state about fatal or non-fatal overdoses What to do in case of an overdose all of that information is on the website and I'll show you a little bit Including the governor's strategic plan Which is to reduce overdose deaths in the state and there's a four prong Strategic plan and one of those prongs is to increase access to naloxone Which you guys are doing today? Another prong is increased access to medication Addiction medication for addiction treatment Accessing recovery and and really working with prescribers and patients to To address safer opioid prescribing Decreasing opioid prescribing And embracing alternatives Alternative pain therapies, etc. So those are the four prongs of the governor's overdose prevention task force Okay, so now is the more hands-on part Are people here interested in getting naloxone? Which let me show you what I have Okay, this is a pony kit. This is the kit. We gave out about 60 over 6,500 of these last year in 2018 And it is comprised of two Intramuscular syringes because this is intramuscularly administered to one CC doses of naloxone and a cheat sheet So everything that I'm going to go over today Is included on this cheat sheet The first which is this slide right here This first section is How to it talks about the risks of Overdose what increases the risk of overdose And then we'll go through the rest of it. So if I could get someone to help me pass these out Okay, and for everyone who received a kit I Need you to fill out Okay, so here's the deal with naloxone naloxone is a prescribed medication I'm able to distribute the naloxone because of the standing order that the prescriber Created the prescriber for the standing order is dr. J. Ritch He's also the prescriber that created the standing order at the pharmacies So the naloxone is available at most pharmacies in the state without a prescription because of the standing order And so you'll see that the label actually is my name because I'm the trainer And So there's there's not anything there's no personal information on there about you But I do need to be able to contact you in case of a medication recall although it's rare It's possible. And so that's what this piece of paper is. So it's just this first section right here the other thing That this does is it helps us track? It helps us track It helps us track I get the demographic information to the state And it helps track where the naloxone trainings are happening and where the naloxone is being Distributed to see if there's a match between what the state is finding in terms of overdoses Okay, so one thing to be aware of so we're going to start with what What puts people at risk of an overdose? So one of the things that I was talking about was that if the person that has never used opioids and they use a drug That has fentanyl in it that puts them at risk of overdoses, right? Because they they have not developed developed the tolerance to fentanyl For people who regularly use opioids who have developed a tolerance their risks are different so Change in our lower tolerance so people you know how I talked about you've developed a tolerance over time Well, actually your tolerance pretty quickly goes back to baseline. So let's say that I have been using heroin for Several weeks months and then I get hospitalized and don't have access to heroin are getting carcerated and I don't have access to heroin or I decide that I want to go into treatment and I Don't go on a medication assisted treatment, but I go cold turkey What's going to happen is that the tolerance in my body is going to go back back to baseline Pretty quickly. And so when I if I return to use Then I cannot use the same amount of drugs that I use before because my body can no longer take that So that idea of knowing your tolerance is really important in terms of overdose risks using alone so The deal with fentanyl is that it works very quickly in the body. So I've been doing this for a while and when When I started doing this in 2006 the drug that we were focusing on was heroin And so if someone is having an overdose from heroin then what their Their body to the point at which from the time they take the dose to the time that they have a Critical reaction in their body could be up to One to three hours like it's not immediate it could be but it worked not very often it usually took time So you actually had a little time to intervene that you maybe even if the person used alone Which it was never recommended, but if they use alone, maybe somebody would find out with fentanyl That's not the case People have seconds to minutes to intervene because fentanyl works so much more quickly in the body and is so much more potent And so using alone There is not going to be time for somebody to find you of changing administration personal health history So people who have chronic conditions Like the impact their respiratory system their liver or their immune system are going to be at Have sort of a Lower baseline as it were a higher baseline. They're going to be more susceptible to overdose And it's this deal with the purity or dose. So fentanyl is Now part a regular part of the drug supply, but the thing is is there's not one kind of fentanyl There's multiple they're called analogs and there's identified of more than 50 Fentanyl analogs and basically that means is that the chemical Construction of those all differ slightly and the potency differ So the most potent that we know is car fentanyl, which fortunately we really haven't seen More than once or twice here in Rhode Island is the most potent But even sort of the baseline fentanyl is about 50 times more potent than heroin And so you can imagine that Keeping up with exactly what the purity or dose you can't possibly know what it is because there's no labeling It doesn't have any milligrams of x y and z And so it is variable all the time homelessness of course is is Puts people at risk for a lot of different things, but including as crazy as this sounds Developing a relationship with people are going to new people new Areas it's going to be a different product and they're they may or may not be have the tolerance for that I mean number one is when I talked about mixing drugs and we talked about what we saw that in Fatal fatal overdoses are almost always have multiple drugs in the mix Are there any questions? Okay, so What happens with an overdose is that? The breathing just slows and slows and slows and the body is not getting enough oxygen And so that's what an overdose looks like is that you're not getting enough oxygen so There is slow or no breathing. It can sound like Snoring or girl sounds your change your skin is going to change color. You're going to get blue or ashen fingertips or lips Clammy pale skin and unresponsive so Opioids are sedating and so that is an effect that they have is they kind of put people to sleep and so to determine that a Person is not is asleep versus having an overdose is you can try to wake them up and They don't respond You can do a chest no gear sternum rub, which is where you take your knuckles And you rub it on this chest bone of the person because that your bone on their bone And if they don't respond to that they're in trouble, right? Of course, if they're blue, they're in trouble Okay, so the the first two 911 and administering the locks on or would ideally happen Simultaneously, so if you have two people who are there to intervene in case of an overdose you're going to both Call my one person calls 911 and one person administers naloxone Now I want to show you the different types of naloxone so you In your kit you have intramuscular administration, which is this this It's called dark hand and this is a brand name. This is generic And This is you administer here's a little sample of it You literally administer by putting the nose the nozzle and someone's nostril you have to Turn their head down a little bit like this and push the button and that's that's all there is to the administration of it It's very simple to use The one thing to be aware of is that there's a tiny bit of liquid in here It's really not very much at all So you have to make sure the nozzle is in the nostril so that you don't waste it if you push the button Then it's gone and you have to go this so if you've got two doses of these When you go to the pharmacy and it can be available at the pharmacy through a standing order Then there's two doses and so you would administer the first dose And I'm going to show you how you administer naloxone the Generic naloxone Okay, oh Let me start over I Like everyone to open their pack and what I want you to do is just Take this orange cap take the orange cap and Click it open Do it for both of them because some of them can really stick and if you're in the moment needing to use it You do not want this to stick Okay Now, okay, so this part don't do because you want to keep your naloxone. This is an expired dose You're going to take the orange cap off So because you want to get this is a dose and there's just a little bit of liquid There's one cc of liquid you want to get all of that into the barrel of the syringe You're going to get a little help with that by pulling some air into the barrel the needle Into through the little rubber bit of the bottle and push the air up into the bottle And what you're doing is creating a little compression chamber That's going to aid you in getting all that liquid out of the bottle So once you've done that you're going to pull the tip down and then draw it out Now I'm sure you can't see this from where you're sitting, but there's a little bit of air at the top of my syringe Between there's liquid and then there's a little bit of air I don't care about that because I'm administering not in a vein, but in a muscle and what I'm going to do is I'm going to administer and Right here see if you can fight your muscle in your arm Yeah, you're going to minister the muscle here or you die and You're going to do it through the clothing and so it looks like Okay, you have a jacket on Anybody sitting through here you would just do it right through the jacket not here someone else If you've got somebody who's got on a thicker jacket and you're worried that needle is one inch So if you're worried about it being long enough just do it in their thigh wherever you have access or easy access so you're going to Find the muscle in the upper arm or thigh and then you're going to with force Put it in there because you need the needle to get into the muscle tissue, right? I know that's hard to think about but that's what you need to do and the person is out They're not going to fill it. So they're not care then you're going to push the plunger down Then you're done. So now here's the deal This is now a dirty needle because you've used it on somebody you have it's not a vein But you have used it on somebody so you need to treat it like a dirty needle so what you're going to do is you're going to put it to the side and Then you're going to continue administering to the person who's had the overdose then when rescue comes You can give them the needle or you can dispose of it wherever you dispose of needles on campus Worst case scenario is that you can put it in a hard plastic container like a soda bottle And dispose of in the trash, right? But this you want to make sure that you dispose of it properly, right? Okay, so you've called 911 you've administered naloxone now the person may wake up Right, that's a possibility. They may wake up after one dose and if they wake up they're going to be They could be a variety of things every single time they're going to be disoriented because they were passed out So when they come to they're not going to know what happened to them you have to explain you had an overdose I gave me naloxone rescue is on the way You they they could wake up and be alert Very often if it's a fentanyl overdose, they will not be alert They're going to be groggy and really out of it So they'll be kind of a way you'll see they get color to their face They're breathing more normally, but they're still really not with it if that's the case You'll see on your little cheat sheet that there it has the recovery position, which is a person on their side And the reason that you do this is because if they vomit which they could well do Because when you have given them naloxone and they come to and you've taken those opioids off this receptor because that's what naloxone does The person could if if they are dependent on opioids will experience withdrawal So they could vomit both during the overdose And more likely after the after they come to from the overdose after you've given them naloxone Okay So rescue breathing So remember this is why I told you the person needs oxygen So if you know rescue breathing and if you feel comfortable doing rescue breathing Then you can give them breaths. So you call 911 you've given them naloxone and you can give them rescue breaths And a way a handy-dandy thing to have for that which I am sorry that can't include in our packs because we don't have the money to pay for it But is this breathing mask? It's a one-way valve right here. You put this over the victim's mouth And then you can breathe through it. So basically who knows CPR Okay, so one of the many people here tell me how to do rescue breathing And okay, exactly right. So you're doing one breath every five seconds We went you how you want to prepare the head and this is also in your cheat sheet You basically want to lay the person flat Tilt their head back because you want the airway to be straight. So you're thinking I'm breathing for them I need my breath to get into their lungs So you do a couple of breaths to start off with you have to pinch those Because if you breathe into their mouth without pinching the nose the air is going to come out the nose So you tilt the head back pitch the nose Open your mouth to make sure nothing's in there. You put your your mouth over there There's give a couple of breaths. What you're looking for is the rise and fall of their chest That means your breath is getting into their lungs Once you see that then you're going to get one breath every five seconds and you're going to do that for three minutes If you do not feel comfortable giving rescue breaths Don't wait three minutes so that second administration Happens two to three minutes after the first so if you're giving rescue breaths Let your oxygen do some work and go ahead and wait the three minutes But if you are not able to do that a couple minutes later Give them the second dose of naloxone and then so you would do 911 naloxone Rex rescue breathing two to three minutes later more naloxone rescue breathing until EMTs arrive and they take over for you, right? So does that make sense? That's right. So here's the deal. That's thank you for saying that So if they wake up your job your job is done, but they need medical attention, right? So they don't so there's a couple of things one is they actually can go back into overdose because what happens naloxone Goes into the opioid receptors it kicks the opioids out and that's what causes the withdrawal But it only lasts in the body 30 to 90 minutes And so the other the opioids that kicked out don't disappear They are waiting around to reattach to the opioid receptor now as the naloxone dissipates So are the opioids so the vast majority of time the person will will have some relief from their withdrawal But they won't go back into overdose, but if it's a long-acting opioid like methadone for instance It is possible that they go into an overdose again So medical help is really important not only that There are multiple consequences to an overdose not just death So it's possible for instance I talked to physicians that say that the main reason people are intubated is because they overdose So the whole thing a person if someone hasn't had oxygen for long enough They are susceptible to a variety of problems including brain damage, etc. So having medical attention is critically important So this is administering naloxone, which we showed So this as via This is a brand product. The thing is is that it there's not a whole lot of it in Rhode Island because it's about $4,000 for two doses and there's not many insurance companies that cover it Understandably they are talking about reducing the price of that. We'll see if that happens This is the generic intranasal this this right here, and then this is the brand name which we talked about Okay, we talked about rescue breathing. So all of this is in your the cheat sheet. I was telling you about the recovery position and this is the This is the website that I was telling you to prevent overdose ri There has there's a lot of great resources here. So the other thing that I want to tell you about The other thing that I want to tell you about is That the naloxone needs to be stored at room temperature, which is basically 60 to 90 degrees So you don't want to keep it outside. So you don't want to keep it in your car I keep my naloxone in my purse all the time So basically keep it to 69 to 90 degrees So that is so how do people feel like they could use their naloxone? So what I want to give you the opportunity to do is that if you are not used to if you've never had diabetes or had Apparently had diabetes or had some reason to handle needles before I welcome you to come draw up the naloxone You in the vibe from these vials right here just to get some muscle memory for that I Otherwise I want to like make sure that everybody I need a sheet of paper from everybody who Took a kit of naloxone And the last thing that we're going to do is on the back of that sheet of paper. There's a little quiz Yes, you take the orange tip part off exactly right Yes for the medicine when you're getting ready to use it Yeah, but for now leave it on I'll look to see if I have another one here. It's okay. It's actually okay, but um Yeah, no, of course, that's fine It's fine, but just remember that it's still good You know that it's that even though the caps off that it is that's still usable Do you know I mean this naloxone is as good until February 2020 So it if you have expired naloxone and for any reason let's say it's 2021 and all you have is this kit of naloxone still use it at last past its expiration date if it's been stored room temperature it has It if it's exposed to extreme temperatures. It's going to lose some of its potency. So Thank you for saying that That's right. Thank you so much for saying that So if you know CPR, so here's the deal if you what happens is when somebody's had an overdose there They need breath and so if you can get to them right away, that's what they need is bread But ultimately they could have a cardiac arrest right because that's the one of the consequences of not breathing for For too long So if the person has had a cardiac arrest then you know CPR you definitely want to use CPR So you would check for their pulse and you would administer CPR and integrate rescue breathing If you don't know CPR Donna can tell you how to learn it So that so you would start off administering the Narcan first So if you come upon somebody So this is a really good question So there's a couple of things one is is if it's not an opioid overdose, right? then you right Naloxone is not going to help them right CPR if they're having a cardiac arrest CPR will help them and if you come On somebody and you're not sure the The best the best trained you could be would be to have your naloxone No CPR check them for a pulse, etc. If you were But given the amount to which we have opioid overdoses in our You know, I hopefully on campus, but more broadly and certainly in Rhode Island Administering the laksa is a safe thing to do because if it's not Opioid overdose, you're not going to hurt them and if it is an opioid overdose you're giving them critically important medicine So what Right, so what if you come on someone who is unconscious and they're and they're exhibiting not breathing Then treating they're not so giving the naloxone calling 9-1-1 Obviously first is important giving them naloxone Intramuscularly or even intranasally because it doesn't they don't have to breathe it in absorbs through the mucus membrane Then you can address, you know at doing CPR and rescue breathing, etc If you assess that they have if you know CPR and says that they're having you've checked for the pulse and they don't have a heartbeat So let's do the quits on the back So what is the first question? Are there any of those sheets left? These sheets Wow, yeah, okay Okay So what are what are ways what puts people at higher risk of overdose of opioid overdose? Mixing drugs absolutely. What else? Using alone fatal overdose Tolerance being aware of tolerance. What are two signs of opioid overdose? Yes, excellent very good. So they were not responsive Girdling slower now breathing and losing color blue pale lips So you see that number three has ABC or D Assuming that you're not doing a CPR or just focusing on rescue breathing now ABC or D is the most correct response See, that's right And where do you administer naloxone if you're doing an intramuscular injection? Where do you do the injection? Arm of thyroid and how long do you wait to give a second dose? Two to three minutes and then six number six. What is the order of intervention? Say nine, okay If at all possible nine one one administering naloxone at the same time But if you're alone nine one one naloxone and rescue breathing and then a B or C is the recovery position See great. Okay No, it doesn't matter Doesn't matter where you administer the second dose if you get Narcan though if you have the intranasal This You should give it in the second nostril. So first dose in one nostril second dose in the second nostril Yeah, so does anyone want to practice? It would the naloxone would bind with will bind with the opioid receptors It'll do that regardless of the whether person has opioids in those receptors or not And if there's no opioids present, you won't feel anything because there's nothing they are except you're naturally occurring opioids So it doesn't do anything. It doesn't help but it doesn't hurt Come on. Nobody wants to try wants to practice everybody here. Good Okay, well, thank you very much and come down and practice

Okay, this is part two in a series on 2d game design using phaser 2d if you didn't watch the last video in the series I definitely recommend watching it go ahead and check out the playlist. Hopefully there's a link in the description to the full playlist Now last video was kind of long. Hopefully this video will be a little bit shorter, but we're gonna do some fun things We're gonna add physics to our players so far. We have two players here One there and one there using our players function here Let's go ahead and add physics to our game. So we're gonna come in here and Under our create function so while the game is being created what we're gonna do is we're gonna say okay Find our game and we're gonna add in some physics So games are game physics dot Start the system now phaser has different types of Physics systems at least three different types. We're doing the most basic here Which is the least system hungry when it comes to resources and that would be arcade physics So basically each character is going to have a an invisible square around them that indicates their boundaries So our tux isn't going to have you know Boundary that matches around the image like this It basically has an image of visible square that is the boundary of the image Which is good enough for the game that we're creating here So again, we're saying here take the game that we are that we created using our phaser library up here So that game that object we're gonna call the physics function and start the physics system And we're gonna say use the physics system of arcade Okay, so now we have physics in our game, but we need to tell The game that our players All of our players need to have those physics applied to them because not everything in your game is gonna have physics So I'm gonna come down here to again to our create function and after we've created our players group we're gonna say take our players group and dot enable Body remember, this is case sensitive. So write it like I'm writing it And we're gonna say set it to true So now any player that we add to the players group will have physics But you can have different physics for different players because there's different parameters for each player so let's come down to our create function here art now create function bar create player function and We're gonna say in here take the player not players But player that we created on the line above right here And we're gonna say look at its body which which created with the physics that we've added to it And we're gonna say that we want it to bounce So bounce on the y-axis. So that's up and down x is left and right y is up and down And how much we want to bounce we'll say zero point two so a little bit of a bounce and That's not gonna do anything at this point because The player isn't falling, you know, the player isn't moving. So let's go ahead and add player dot body So we're gonna add to the player's body Dot gravity on the y-axis. So we're gonna say ready. I'm gonna put in just from my notes I have 300 so obviously if you want them to fall faster make that number bigger. So first let's go ahead and actually Comment out our bounce line. We should have done the gravity line first just as an example. So now I can restart this and you can see our player falls and keeps falling So it didn't stop and it didn't bounce well For it to bounce it needs something bounce off of and we're gonna add a ground plane later on but for right now We're gonna say player dot body dot collide world Bounds equals true. So our world is a certain size and So our player without this the player will go off screen left right up down the world's not gonna stop it But with this set to true We'll save that and now our player will fall both our players will fall and stop when I get the bomb But they just it's very they just kind of stop Yeah, so now we'll uncomment our Bounce property here. So we're saying that it has a property of bouncing which by default is set to zero But we're gonna turn up a little bit to two point one or I'm sorry zero point two and now they bounce a little bit Now obviously if we were to turn this number up Instead of zero point two, we'll just make it two. Let's save that and refresh Okay, let's do point No, let's just do one. Let's see how much that is Falling falling falling Okay They almost hit the top again, but they didn't and they're gonna bounce and bounce And they're gonna see they're gonna bounce so Let's change this to point five Just zero point five you can take zero point five or just point five. It doesn't care There we go You can see it bounce bounce bounce till they come to a stop But I like point two in my notes. That's what I found to work the best and there we go We have players that bounce with a little bit of physics so let's go ahead and Make this full screen so you can see String things down this a little bit so you can see all the code So just to quickly review we create our game with some parameters up here We preload right now. We're preloading one image just means that we're putting that image in making sure it's downloaded in Ram So it's ready to load Saying the background color here using hex code Then we're setting that our game has physics. You gotta say the game is gonna have physics So it enables that physics engine. We're creating a group for our players and then we're saying that any player in the in the Players group has a body enabled set to true So this is saying physics has bodies so you can add physics but also collision which we're gonna get to right now It's colliding with the world. We're gonna collide with ground planes and other Objects and stuff in the near future there. We're here. We're creating two players Setting different coordinates for each of them, which is all done here We haven't done anything in our update function because all the updates We've had right now are handled by the physics engine, but we'll get into more of that later So anyway, I thank you for watching again. This is part of a series Now someone's gonna ask because they always do I can't find the next video in this series Well, there's a link to a playlist in the description of this video and if you can't access that because it's marked as private that's because It's not gonna be released until next week. I'm putting out one video each week.

I think for me, the big point on which the entire panel really had a meeting of minds was that there's no debate as such between consistency and persistency and the fact that short term actually leads to the long term. You need to build the brand day in day out and that's what actually creates branding in the long term. I think everyone was very clear that brands need to have a stronger sense, a purpose and sense of mission and live it in all aspects, in all communications across product, across channels and that's what actually build brands in the long term. I think it was a very exciting place to network, to meet people from different industries, different companies. There were a lot of interesting exchanges for ideas and thoughts and I think even the panel discussion for me personally actually topped it up.

That's where we've been reading more. No, that's a good point. No, that's a good point. We're all right. Sir? Yeah. How do you do? My American spy. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. What'd you come in for? My American spy. My American spy. My American spy. What'd you come in? Good morning, sir. Good morning, sir. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. We visited this market. So what do you see? One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. One move. My son, Jeremy. Hello, Mr. President, my pleasure. Hello, Mr. President. See you. See you. My sister, my sister. Sorry, let's see if you can take it easy. If you're being a senator, Dr. Payton will be your right. And it gives me a great pleasure to award you the presidential citizenship. Now read the citation. Dr. David Patton has dedicated his life to one of God's chief gifts, the gift of debt. During his long career, Dr. Payton has been responsible for countless advances in ophthalmological medicine, but perhaps his crowning achievement was the founding of Orbus, an organization that operates an aircraft to demonstrate advanced ophthalmologic techniques to doctors and nurses around the world. The aircraft has served as classroom and operating room alike from China to Botswana to Jordan. In his dedication to his profession and his keen devotion to the service of mankind, Dr. Payton has made his nation proud. This is very pleased to be able to do this for many years. Here I am standing with only one contact answer. Help is here. Sometimes go. Yes. And I can get by with one NFC age that when you correct me for 2020 with these, then I've got arms long enough to read. I found that it works with no distortion. I can look over there and see 2020, but I can look down here at the printing and this eye takes over. That's a marvelous technology. Well, we're so honored. My friend from Tunisia, Dr. Chabelsi, who's operated in the aircraft, has come all the way from Tunisia today. I'm so afraid that you are going to say, well, I have to put it off because he's flown in for such a long trip. Dr. Grayley's come from Queens in Brooklyn. He's my boss. Well, we're very honored and pleased to have you here. And where is dear Diane? There she is. And in there. Yes. Look, sweetheart. Souvenir's here. Oh, my gosh. Thank you, thank you. Here's the pants for the ladies. Oh, how pretty you are. Now, wait a minute. Can I have some of you? The gentlemen. Thank you, Mr. President. Thanks. Thank you very much, Mr. President. It's like Christmas. It's like Santa Claus. It really is, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. Oh, my great pleasure. Thank you, sir. Oh. Well, what a highlight in my life. Thank you so much. Very pleased, now. It's a wonderful thing that you're doing. Thank you. Incidentally, I just made a call the other day to Captain John. Captain John, huh? He's captain to the United States pilot and that Kuwaiti vessel was sent to the city. Oh, yeah. He's back now. He's in Florida busy. And they don't know what they think. Maybe they can restore some vision to his left eye. Oh, that's very nice. Make sure this moves. Yeah. It's so tragic. It's an awful thing when you get an eye injury. Those of us in ophthalmology know that very well. And recently, I was called about 12 people having buckshot in the eye from the civil unrest in Panama, all with the same kind of injuries. And a little bird shop is used to hold the crowds back. Well, you've given us new strengths to go on and to pursue other kinds of projects of this nature. Well, good. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you so much. Just, you know, the doctors have said that from the first day that we had her recovery was ahead of the schedule. And I think the day after the operation, I was walking her up and down the hospital corridor. That's why that's great. Would you give her my very best regards and all the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanity says there will be two. All right. All right. The other girl, of course, is much harder to get. I know. She had a relationship with her mother that was something beautiful to be holding. Yeah. If I talk to Artie and Harriet, you can go and talk to the team that gets to say that. Absolutely. Yeah. How are they experiencing this energy? I found that it was important. Oh, really? Oh. Oh. It's lovely. Mr. President, Frank Carlucci is a classmate of George's in mind. So we feel that the class of 52 at Princeton has had a very good day. Thanks to you. Glad he's here. Thank you. As a matter of fact, Jim Baker is another classmate. We wonder if you haven't given us extra special recognition. Thank you so much. All right. Thank you. Princeton, you said. Yeah. It was you, brother. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you again, Mr. President. Sure. Thank you, Mr. President. Nancy, how about George Arthur? Say it's not. Nancy Goff Cheney. Yes. This is Mrs. Samuel Blank. Hi. Hello, baby. This is Wiley Buchanan. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. President, we have a small presentation as soon as we get together. What is this? All working on hopeless. You know, seven years ago, we became established. Not in White House. We established an organization. And so those of us who are here are the founders of this organization. We all have PINs. These are the more economical PINs. We've traded up here for a computer penalty, President. So this AG, which is Alzheimer's disease, is a symbol. And I know that you're not going to wear it to state occasions, but I hope that you realize that it's a symbol of feelings for you and what you've done for us and public awareness. And not only that, you're gracious to us in acknowledging that this organization had to be in being to do the work that we're doing. Opening it up there. State dinner. Great. Thanks, folks. Great to see you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Remember the first time we were to get around here. And so now we have a big scroll that goes with it, but they very stopped it. But remember the first time we were in here, we had a clock out in security. They looked at it to see what was going on with this clock. And when I presented it to you, I said, Mr. President, we had this problem out there. The clock, and you looked at me. There are no more straight men left, but with a very straight, bright part there, you said, why not? It's been ticking, hasn't it? Well, now I have a few. Whoops. I think I'd better start giving them away. You've been here before, but I don't see you, but I want to. Thank you. So many of you obviously have one of them. That's great. See them? Man, too. So you won't think I'm a feminist. He rinks. Thank you. Yeah, I was glad to see you. Thank you very much. Well, I think you're paying us back in spades. We're in need of it for what you're doing. I put red disease. I do something about it. Now that I'm getting into the bracket, we're... I need to worry more. Well, we're all subject to it, unfortunately. And as you know, as you've even repeated, it is the most costly disease we have in this nation. Yes. And, of course, costly in many ways, emotionally as well as financially. Yes. But your administration has done a lot towards putting more money into research. It certainly has. My job's under pressure. It's been helpful. But I think the whole administration, this has been a nonpartisan approach, I must say, that we've got a very good press in Washington. That's because of your leadership. Well, sometimes I can be the kiss of death. We're not talking about just Judge Borch or anything. This weekend, we're having a Dallas Gala, Rita Hayward's Gala. And of course, you're the honorary patron. Yes, that's right. You're so happy that it's going to be a very successful event. Well, indeed. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. Well, have a good one. Oh, Fred, nice to see you. Hello, Mr. President. It's a pleasure. It's a pleasure to see you. It's so great of you to come to you. Well, I'm pleased to see you. Thank you so much for all you did for Ralph. He appreciates it, and so does Mary. I get more contact than her because he doesn't write. I might tell him that he doesn't write, but she calls him all the time, and he gets... You played a very important role in that. I remember that. I remember when he and Betty came and spent a week with you in Hollywood one time. Yes. When you were having a sorrowful time. That's nice. And yes, so they were very nice, good people to us. But in an earlier day when I was in school, he was a great influence for us. I know that. Well, we'd like to thank you for all the good work you've done. Thank you. I'm sure you really know two loyal supporters. Just one second. Thank you so much. You know, this is a marvelous trip, and this is certainly a grand finale, a real culmination. It certainly is. And I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm so pleased for our beautiful Nancy. She's back, and I hope she doesn't have so much sorrow for the next little ball. She's really gotten hit last night. Yeah, that was a blow, because she... They were very close. Great relationship. She's just such a darling. I'm so proud of her, and I put her as well as you and my peers. Every day. Well, thanks again, Mr. President. Every day. Thank you. Thank you. May I have a hug? Thank you. Thank you so much. And keep on doing what you're doing. You're doing the right thing. I'm really for you. Thank you. You're welcome. Goodbye.

The Essence of Janelle Monae, India Arie, Megan Thee Stallion and Jill Scott: A Case Study

I remember when I first started to wear my tuxedo. My breasts were not this big. They were smaller with, you know, time. I started to get more curvy. My old shirts didn't work. I had to change my wardrobe. And I was just really uncomfortable. And also, like, my friends would comment on them. But they would always give me compliments, like, you have the best boobies. Ugh, if I get a boob job, I'm taking pictures of your boobs. And you would think, like, I should be like, yes, ooh. But I was very uncomfortable with the change that was happening. Like, it took me years to get comfortable with my boobs. It's probably why I'm like, ooh, breathe them, you know. I can only imagine the horror stories that happened to my ancestors, but I was always tall. Do not do anything that will make men be attracted to you. It took me a long time to realize it was not my responsibility to adjust my freedom in order to make you comfortable, in order to make you not try and rape or molest me. I am having an earth experience where I'm expressing myself, I'm trying to honor my body, honor my fullness. I'm not asking for your attention. I should not be made to feel bad or be shamed because you cannot control your own urges. What's up, y'all? So this Monday, Auntie Fest, AKA Essence Fest, came to an end and this year it featured the likes of Janelle Monae, Meg Dostallion, I think Erika Badu and some other people. And recently on social media, there's been a lot of talk about IndieIre's comment about the event. According to IndieIre, the context and the over sexualization of the female performers was in poor taste. You know, if you guys aren't familiar with IndieIre, you know, she's famous for songs like I'm Not the Average Girl on Your Video. My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes. The truth, he is the truth, he is so real. She was the airy, pun intended, Afrocentric artist back in the day. So obviously this new push for overly and overtly sexual images of black women is gonna rub her the wrong way. And I think she is justified in her critique. A lot of people are saying that, you know, she needs to mind her own business and this isn't supporting black women, but kind of like we've discussed before, if women can't critique women, then what are we fighting for? All right, especially as black people, if there are no checks and balances, if we cannot define what is good and what is bad for ourselves, and if we cannot police each other, then what is all this for? Are we just gonna allow the external world to police us? Or are we gonna come up with systems and processes and boundaries that are sustainable and that work and that lead to a better set of future people, right? Because right now I think we're living in a very individualistic age of pleasure. You guys know Janelle Monnet started off as a suit wearing very eclectic-seeming artist and she was the opposite of the female image that we saw a lot of when she came on the scene. Apparently she's only 37 years old. For whatever reason, I thought she was older, but she's relatively young. But you know, with her new album, we've been seeing her body more than we used to. And according to the clip I played, that's because she is now becoming comfortable with her body. Apparently it wasn't necessarily a statement of conservatism, but really she just didn't wanna show her body and now she does. And not only that, a lot of her visuals, even in the music video she's been putting out are pretty sexual. You know, Janelle Monnet is apparently part of the LGBTQ community and a lot of her imagery is heavy on that and she's been showing her boobs, she's been showing her body. As a guy, I like it. And most men enjoy it visually. However, you know, as a man, I do have concerns. I do have concerns about how we continue to set and maintain this precedent of overt black female sexuality. And I've talked about the links and the connections to our oppression and how we've, or at least we're attempting to gain ownership of our own exploitation, right? It's like, I no longer need the pimp, I'm a pimp myself. And I realize that she is thinking about it from the perspective of female empowerment, from the perspective of female autonomy. However, I think the consequences are larger than her. And I feel the same about every other female artist who has to prostitute themselves visually to gain and maintain an audience. So I recently came across that clip of Flavor Flav playing the piano beautifully. And I had no idea that brother could play the piano. And it had me thinking and wondering, what if his entire persona, his entire character is a caricature? Because unfortunately today that's what sells. Being a goofball, being a spectacle, being a jester is what sells. And it breaks my heart that for so many kids growing up, they must in some way, shape or form, resign themselves to creating a character and playing that character as best that they can to make it. Because the reality is, we don't know Flavor Flav for playing piano. We know Flavor Flav for being Flavor Flav. And I wonder how our community would be different if we started to incentivize different types of people, different types of entertainment, as opposed to allowing ourselves to remain public spectacles. And it's been exacerbated by social media because now social media rewards you with likes and clicks. And now you can monetize it through YouTube or go out back Instagram or only fans in the whole nine. And social media has us all dancing. In Genome Monet's defense, as a content creator, you know, if you do this long enough, you'll start to see patterns. And one of the patterns is, people do not care about wholesome content. People will congratulate you from afar. Some people actually care, but the masses of people don't actually care. And unfortunately, this particular stunt or this series of stunts that she has been pulling are going to make her more famous and more money than she's probably ever made before. And I think that is an indictment on us. If we want to ask for our artists and our creators to be more mindful of and respectful with their voice and their influence, but we continue in mass to support artists that do the complete opposite, the incentive goes away. Because at the end of the day, if you are an artist and you have bills to pay, if you're an artist and your dream is to have your name in lights, you are gonna prioritize the quickest route to that end. I imagine for female artists, especially in 2023, it means you got to show skin. Now, a lot of us as men, we tend to talk from two sides of our neck sometimes, because on the internet, we'll bash it, but behind closed doors, these are the behaviors that we're incentivizing. For instance, I remember something that Fresh and Fit, which I'm not a fan of, they talked about how they'll have Instagram models or only fans models, on their podcast, and they'll lambast the girl for two, three hours. And in the comments, the people are talking about how she's this and she's that and she's ugly and she's a whore, but the next very day, her income with triple quadruple and her following with skyrocket. So again, as men, if we are claiming that we want to see more wholesome women, we want to see more respectful women, we want to see more feminine women, but we keep incentivizing with our lust and our attention, we keep incentivizing the polar opposite. Unfortunately, it's supply and demand. We are going to see more of that. And obviously, there are examples in the hemisphere, examples of people who shouldn't have a microphone to be speaking about femininity or definitely not have the support of men, but because she looks good, she has our ear. And in my opinion, and like I've been saying, this is what completely delegitimizes a lot of the complaints that we as men have of women. It's like we, on one side, talk shit about a certain archetype of woman, but that's the woman we want to sleep with and that's the woman we finance and that's the woman we support with views and that's the woman we support with attention and we wonder why we see more of that. And this is not just true for women. This is true for content in general. You want to see certain things change politically, but your money and your spending habits fund the opposition. So you don't really want it. And obviously the opposition isn't going to take you seriously because you're saying one thing but doing another and we have to, have to, have to be honest about that as men and also as women. I remember a while back, people were criticizing Meg Dostallion about only talking about raunchy sexual stuff but her least performing music is her wholesome music even on this channel. Some of you guys may or may not know but this isn't the style of content that I initially wanted to do. I still don't want to do it if I'm being completely honest but this is what performs. I would rather make films, set up cameras, set up microphones, lighting, sit with somebody who I admire intellectually and pick their brain. That's what I would rather do, create evergreen content. However, when I post something about a current event and a celebrity did this and oh my God, look at that. That's what moves the needle. That's what helps keep this channel sustainable. So again, we have to not just complain but we have to take action with our, with our money, with our attention, especially in 2023 because attention is currency. Attention and data is currency. It's the absolute new currency. So as we're looking at Janelle Monae show her boob on stage and we're wondering, what's wrong with her? No, she's an astute business woman. She might have even convinced herself that it's about liberation and all that but at the end of the day, the numbers aren't gonna lie. She's probably still trending. Her album sales are probably going up. Her music video views are going up. So black folks, black men, what do we really want? I will probably be half naked. It's really about being in control of your body as a woman and that's what it's always been about me and I think this year I'm a lot more experimental with music and image because I feel like that message has been, you got it, you got it. Y'all get that when I came in, I already told y'all, like y'all not about to tell me what to do, y'all not about to pimp me. So at the end of the day, it's always been about women staying in control of your bodies. When you ready to show your skin or your thigh, let that be you, not, I got to do this to sell records. I want my talent to speak before that. So. And just to let you niggas know, we don't need y'all. We won't y'all, but we don't need y'all. Now a lot of hot boys, a lot of hot boys but this is what a motherfucking hot girl is, jump in here. In the eye, we also mentioned, referred to Meg the Stallion during her critique of the Essence Fest and Meg's whole thing is built around the hot girl, dynamic, you know, the, we don't need no man, but we want you. And it's tragic to me, especially considering how the pathology of malehood is set up and how our entire purpose since the beginning of time has been centered around being needed. And it makes me wonder the damage that has been done and continues to be done as boys continue to hear the women in their lives and their mother's parrot that they are not needed. They are not necessary. And I wonder how that's created the new paradigm of men that we see. And I wonder if women are aware of the power of their tongue. I saw somebody say a man can destroy things around him with his actions, but a woman can destroy things around her with her words. So as a community, I wonder what it's done as our women continuously parrot that our men are inconsequential. Our men are not necessary. Our men are the scum of the earth. How does that make our community better? How does that make our future better? And what would happen if our women intentionally took it upon themselves to begin to say the opposite? You know, one of the things we say in Nigeria is fear women. And we usually say it jokingly based on like the things that women can do to hurt a man like cheat and paternity fraud and things like that. But we also believe that if you do a good woman wrong and she goes outside butt naked at midnight and swears for you like on some witch shit that it will happen. We believe that women have a spiritual ability that men don't have, particularly if it's a woman of virtue. And obviously in the context of white supremacy, whether in the West or whether on the continent, a lot of that has been bastardized. And instead of a lot of our women weaponizing their power to fight the oppressor, a lot of that power has been weaponized to break down the man. And that's absolutely not to say it's the woman's fault. That's absolutely not to say the woman is our enemy. But it's to say that we need y'all. We need y'all's help in fighting white supremacy. Even on YouTube, one of my big critiques is that in the Manisphere, some of the most supported creators are women. Even in a space of men who have grievances and pains caused by women, they are still yearning and seeking female involvement, female validation and female input. That shows the power of women. Anybody see the propaganda? Anybody see how all niggas ain't shit and all bitches ain't shit? You see how love, real love doesn't exist? You see how everybody is some kind of bitch? Do you see it? Do you see? Do you see? It's a boss bitch or a fly bitch or a rich bitch or a pretty bitch or... I don't like you bitches, none of you bitches. Fuck you. I happen to love my sisters or my sisters in the house tonight. So, IndieIre falls in the category of Joe Scott, Erica Badu, Lauren Hill and real ones know, but you know, for my young boys, y'all, hey, don't let these quote, unquote wholesome women fool you. Do not let these nerdy glasses wearing, you know, burning sage women fool you. They are amongst some of the freakiest women on the planet. They are undercover with theirs. And in a way, it's kind of what men are asking for, you know, lady in the streets, freaking the sheets. But it, you know, there is a conversation to be had about, you know, how fair is that as an expectation for your woman to be, you know, both those things, but also when we look at people like Jill Scott and her romantic track record, when you look at Erica Badu or, you know, even Lauren Hill and their track records, even though their public image is one of a wholesome woman, their private image is more consistent with the hot girls. If you know, you know. So I would only say to, you know, younger guys, just pay attention, don't get carried away with what it looked like, especially with women. Focus and try to deduct what it is. Because women are master manipulators and chameleons. And I'm not saying that in a negative way. It's just like the song, I'm Every Woman. Women are shapeshifters. That is one of their strengths. That's one of the things that allows them to be such an asset to us. But hell, have no fury like a woman scorned. That's also a thing. So they can weaponize it against you. So just don't get carried away with the Okie Doke. But as a community, I would like to see us go away from critique and start going towards action. And that means, you know, taking a second to audit what it is that you are actually supporting. Not the things that you think you're supporting, but what are you actually supporting? What kind of content are you consuming? Is it content of all the reason black women are this and the black community is doomed? Well, confirmation bias. I read about this part of our brain called the reticular activating system. And it's basically a brain filtration device. So it limits what we notice and what we don't, right? So it's the reason why let's say you just bought a Honda. The first day you drive in your Honda it's gonna seem like everybody else has that Honda, which is not the case. It's just that your brain is now focusing on Honda. So you're seeing Hondas. So only imagine how that works with people. If you're focusing on the negative, you will see the negative. If you're focusing on the positive, you'll see more of the positive. My goal is for us to be able to focus on everything and see how tiny drops of water make an ocean. See how our actions and our inactions and our attention and the places that we place our energy influences what we see on the micro and on the macro. If we wanna stop seeing these over-the-wall women slut themselves out publicly because we don't wanna see that with our daughters, with our sisters who are coming up, we've gotta starve those women out. We've gotta stop paying them with our attention. Whether sexual attention or literally just visual attention or just the consumption of watching them crash. Because it feeds the machine and it tells whether YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, you wanna see more of that. So we will show you more of that. And inevitably, because as a community, we're consuming more media than anybody else, we will begin to see more of that. Because before, art used to imitate reality. But now reality imitates art. If you wanna see more of this, please click that like button. It helps tremendously. And share this with somebody you think would gain value from the message and hit that subscribe button as well. Peace out y'all.

Does anyone remember this kid's show? It was called, Candle Cove, and I must have been 6 or 7. I never found reference to it anywhere so I think it was on a local station around 1971 or 1972. I lived in Ireland at the time. I don't remember which station, but I do remember it was on at a weird time, like 4 PM. It seems really familiar to me. I grew up outside of Ashland and was 9 years old in 72. Candle Cove, was it about pirates? I remember Pirate Marionette at the mouth of a cave talking to a little girl. Yes. Okay, I'm not crazy. I remember Pirate Percy. I was always kind of scared of him. He looked like he was built from parts of other dolls, real low budget. His head was an old porcelain baby doll, looked like an antique that didn't belong on the body. I don't remember what station this was. I don't think it was WTSF Dove. Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I know exactly what show you mean Sky Shale. I think Candle Cove ran for only a couple months in 71, not 72. I was 12 and I watched it a few times with my brother. It was Channel 58, whatever station that was. My mom would let me switch to it after the news. Let me see what I remember. It took place in Candle Cove and it was about a little girl who imagined herself to be friends with pirates. The pirate ship was called The Laughing Stock and Pirate Percy was in the very good pirate because he got scared too easily. And there was colipy music constantly playing. Don't remember the girl's name, Janice or Jade or something. Thank you, Laws Janice. Thank you, Jaren. Memories flooded back when you mentioned The Laughing Stock and Channel 58. I remember the bow of the ship was a wooden smiling face with the lower jaw submerged. It looked like it was swallowing the sea and it had that awful adwin voice and laugh. I especially remember how jarring it was when they switched from the wooden or plastic model to the foam puppet version of the head that talked. Ha ha, I remember now too. Do you remember this part, Sky Shale? You have to go inside. Uh, Mike, I got a chill reading that. Yes, I remember. That's what the ship all was told Percy when there was a spooky place he had to go in, like a cave or a dark room where the treasure was. And the camera would push in on Laughing Stock's face with each pause. You have to go inside. With his two eyes askew and that flopping foam jaw and the fishing line that opened and closed it. Uh, it just looked so cheap and awful. You guys remember the villain? He had a face that was just a handlebar moustache above really tall, narrow teeth. I honestly, honestly thought the villain was pirate Percy. I was about five when this show was on. Right near fuel. That wasn't the villain, the pulpit with the moustache. That was the villain's sidekick, Horace Horrible. He had a monocle too, but it was on top of the moustache. I used to think that meant he had only one eye. But yeah, the villain was another marionette. The skin taker. I can't believe what they let us watch back then. Jesus H Christ, the skin taker. What kind of a kid's show were we watching? I seriously could not look at the screen when the skin taker showed up. He just descended out of nowhere on his strings, just a dirty skeleton wearing that brown top hat and cape. And his glass eyes that were too big for his skull. Christ almighty. Wasn't his top hat and cloak all psalm out crazily? Was that supposed to be children's skin? Yeah I think so. Remember his mouth didn't open and close, his jaw just slid back and forth? I remember the little girl said. Why does your mouth move like that? And the skin taker didn't look at the girl but at the camera and said. To grind your skin. I'm so relieved that other people remember this terrible show. I used to have this awful memory, a bad dream I had where the opening jingle ended, the show faded in from black, and all the characters were there, but the camera was just cutting to each of their faces, and they were just screaming, and the puppets and marionettes were flailing spastically, and just all screaming, screaming. The girl was just moaning and crying like she had been through hours of this. I woke up many times from that nightmare. I used to wet the bed when I headed. I don't think that was a dream. I remember that. I remember that was an episode. No no no, not possible. There was no plot or anything, I mean literally just standing in place crying and screaming for the whole show. Maybe I'm manufacturing the memory because you said that, but I swear to god I remember seeing what you described. They just screamed. Oh god. Yes. The little girl, Janice, I remember seeing her shake. And the skin taker screaming through his gnashing teeth, his jaw careening so wildly I thought it would come off its wire hinges. I turned it off and it was the last time I watched. I ran to tell my brother and we didn't have the courage to turn it back on. I visited my once a day at the nursing home. And I asked her about when I was little in the early 70s, when I was eight or nine and if she remembered a kid's show, Candle Cove. She said she was surprised I could remember that and I asked why, and she said. Because I used to think it was so strange that you said, I'm gonna go watch Candle Cove now mom, and then you would tune the TV to static and just watch Dead Air for 30 minutes. You had a big imagination with your little pirate show.

Gracious God, for the benefits you've afforded us to share in the use of our talents for life and for health and for the abundance of grace that surrounds each of us. We come today to talk and to discuss the issues of our city. Our city in such a way that your grace may permeate each one of us and to members of this city of ours. Lord, we ask for a faith that is abided, and yet we ask for sensibilities as we struggle through some of the issues. We pause in the season of vicissitudes and yet abundance to say thank you for the blessings we've received. We ask it. We can't claim it in your name. And there'll be a hard share. Amen. Thank you. Is there a motion to adopt the agenda just for those who might be watching? We're going to take an emergency ordinance number six because of the session, but move the rest of the agenda.

And we're at the point to ask for your approval after a public hearing of a first reading of our budget for FY 21-22. And so we have presented it to you, made some adjustments upon your direction, and we're ready to present it again today a little bit more abbreviated, but for the sake of the public and any input that may have. And also doing it in a little bit more of an expedited manner so that we can take advantage of the American Rescue Plan funds as we're now getting guidance on those and moving forward. Hopefully if we need to amend the budget later, but going ahead getting it approved earlier this year, well before the June 30 mandate by the state, so that we have even more time to make any adjustments that we may need. So we thank you. And with that, I'm going to hand over to Missy Kaufman, our Budget and Program Management Director. Good afternoon. Thank you, Ms. Wilson. Good afternoon, Mayor and members of the City Council. It's great to be here today and present to you on behalf of the City Manager, Ms. Priece Wilkins, the proposed budget for fiscal year 21-22. As we discussed today's budget, we want to make sure we are sharing with you guiding principles that we use to develop this budget as the City Manager puts out every year when the departments are preparing their budget request and as we are going through the budget process, those things that guide our budget development and utilizing City Council's directions as well. Of course, continuity of operations is key and important to this process, making sure that our department resources needed to provide our City services. One of those items, specifically in this coming budget is the restored capital replacement program for our rolling stock and some technology refresh that is one of the items that was suspended in the current year, so we are pleased to be able to move forward there. In order to do that, we also are continuing to provide excellent day-to-day service to our community, making sure that we provide our highest level customer care for our residents, visitors, and businesses. The City has been able to remain open and provide services as we move forward through the pandemic and making sure component of the well-managed and well-run City. Finally, we want to make sure we are addressing our critical infrastructure needs with a restored water and sewer capital improvement program as well as our stormwater program restored in the sense that we are prepared to our 120 million CIP that we have had to suspend the current year, so this year we will be able to move forward with 120, hopefully as we move forward in today. And then also, too, being able to address other commitment, other infrastructure needs with discussions with Family Parks rehabilitation. The other budget drivers that were developed impact the development of this budget is that, of course, as we have progressed through this year, we certainly know more now than we did a year ago as we were entering this pandemic, but there's still various areas of concern or uncertainty, so we proceed cautiously. Our departments were asked to prepare their budget requests using current year budgets, as we talked about and mentioned before, so we are still operating on reduced capacity at that point. We also had a very compressed but a focused budget process this year. It was compressed and some information, again, that we normally would have is not available, so we are able to focus those in making sure that we have identified any efficiencies that we gain from our work arrangements, availability of technology being a key component of that opportunity, making sure we capture our shortfalls and gaps and services to make sure that we're able to provide those important services and making sure that we stay focused on our priorities and maintaining services. Ongoing as we proceed through this budget, we will, again, continue to monitor as we have them where we are with our budgets, where we are with our revenues, making sure we try to stay ahead as possible of any potential shortfalls or concerns. We are prepared to amend the budget moving forward as the ARP funds, which become available today, as a matter of fact, but also, too, as we move forward with addressing cost of living adjustments as well. So, moving into the actual budget discussions, the total proposed budget for fiscal year 21-22 is $376 million, covering all of our operating funds, which include our general fund, our hospitality tax fund, accommodation tax fund, our water and sewer operating fund, our stormwater operating fund, and our parking fund. Water and sewer is now exceeded as the largest of our operating budgets followed by, of course, the general fund, and then followed by our remaining areas as well. Moving into our capital improvement program, the water capital improvement program is $40 million, the sewer CIP of $80 million, stormwater CIP of $11.5 million, and then our hospitality tax includes capital improvements this year as well, from $1.7 million to $133 million to $250,000. Moving first into our proposed general fund budget, the total proposed budget is $155 million. Moving first with our revenue discussions, demonstrating here, just showing where we have been with our actual collections and some of our primary, our major sources of revenue of the general fund, which includes property taxes, licenses and permits, and then some other agencies and our service charges. It's hard to see here, but you can see some of the fluctuation, a minor fluctuation from year to year indicating we're still, while we are looking positive and showing some growth, we certainly are not at pre-pandemic levels with regards to our licenses and permits. Property taxes are performing better than I think we initially anticipated. They could, based on the uncertainty of the pandemic, as the impact potentially on the localized themselves tax, we were grateful to see that those revenues are actually coming in on schedule, which is a value not only to the city, but also to our residents who receive that localized themselves tax as a rebate on their property tax. Finally, I'd like to also point out that this budget does not include a property tax increase, and that is the 12th straight year of no property tax increase in the general fund budget. Just continuing our conversations with revenues and transfers, as we look at our transfers in, they are significantly higher this year than normal. Our transfers in and other financing sources include $23.8 million. That's an increase of $15 million over the current year budget, primarily because of the fact that we have stated our capital lease purchase, and the proceeds from that are based on the issuance of $9 million, so that's obviously a large portion of that $15 million increase. Had we not missed last year, it would be more in line with previous years. The budget does include an allocation from the American Rescue Plan of $1.6 million, and also includes the installment purchase revenue bond proceeds for the security camera upgrades of $2.5 million. That's one item that is a budgetary item, so it's reflected in the budget here. And then we've also been able to restore the property tax transfer for $.7 million. The budget does not use any use of fund dollars. With regards to our general fund expenditures, our department operating budget is $126 million. That's a $4.4 million increase over the current year budget. Please keep in mind, though, that the base on budget is still using the fiscal year 18-19 actual. The increases that are in the budget are limited primarily to those things that are adjusted based on either annual contract adjustments or other schedules that call for adjustments on an annualized basis, including our Microsoft Enterprise license and the addition of some cloud software that obviously we needed in order to operate in a more remote setting the way we have been able to do this past year. The emergency CAD system that's operated out of our 911 system is reflected. The citywide election is also reflected. Cycling contract this year is also a significant increase over the budget, and then we also had a anticipated, we were anticipating the PIVA rate increase in the coming year. There are some department budgets that have restored some limited vacant positions that were frozen in the current year that were part of our ability to balance the budget in the current year with the vacant resaving. Some departments have a are able to reflect some restore restored funding for those positions. Expenditure wise just demonstrating again as far as the general fund goes, the general fund and the city services are we are a service industry. A service industry requires personnel so the majority of the city's budget general fund specifically is personnel services are employees which is also one of our most significant assets. The majority of the budget this year in terms of the increases though is that transfers out and non direct non departmental expenses which will go through primarily those are related to debts and debt service and other associated costs. Also the security camera during that non departmental cost. Continuing with expenditures, non departmental is totaling 11.7 million, an increase of 3.6, wanting to again focus that return of the capital lease so that with the 6.2 million that's a large portion of our non departmental cost is related to the lease payment also is requested 2.5 million for the security camera upgrade that's being funded through the installment purchase revenue bond proceeds. Transfers out is the actual 9 million where the 9 million is budgeted as the vehicles are purchased they are actually charged back to the department and then the budgets are adjusted for that for those purchases. The 9 million dollars this year will cover a variety of heavy equipment and vehicles including a fire lighter truck police troll cars and other associated police equipment or solid waste equipment parts and recreation equipment and some other of course some other departments as well but they certainly are the largest users of that lease so that's a very important and grateful to be able to return that in this proposed budget. Moving into the proposed water and sewer fund the total water and sewer fund budget is 182 million it's an increase of 13.8 with an 8 percent increase over the current year. The operating revenues for the water and sewer budget is 178 million which is also an increase of 13.8 or 8 percent. It does include a 5.02 percent increase over for rates this year which generate 8 million of that increase. The revenues from that rate increase solely go to fund our capital improvement program and the associated debt service with that issued debt for the proposed water and sewer capital improvement program. The water and sewer rate study just really reminding council some of the discussion from the water and sewer rate study. The of course we do a rate study every year it is important in order to maintain our financial integrity of the water and sewer system and make sure that our rates are adjusted in order to provide the necessary resources to operate and maintain the system at a high standard. The rate study assumptions include both a cash and a bond issuance for our proposed water and sewer CIP with 68 and half percent coming from bond and another 31.5 percent coming from operating cash which is reflected in the operating budget as well as that transfer to CIP. With this rate increase and with the other items this still keeps us at a debt service coverage of 2.0 which is the desired debt service coverage that the city has on our on our financial financing of the CIP. The water and sewer operating budget the largest user of our water and sewer budget is our utilities department which includes our staffing and our utility operations, our plants, our water plants, our wastewater plants, our maintenance divisions, our construction divisions. The budget also includes any some of the staff related construction maintenance construction items that are not part of our CIP. Nine departmental is 53.5 million the largest portion of that is the debt service budget which is 42.9 million of that 53 million. It does include a fighting preach for the proposed bond issuance for the 120 million CIP that is proposed and then of course we also have cash reserves that are budgeted as part of the financial plan as well which is 9.5 million. It's for the outtable 25.4 million which includes the 18 million that's transferred as cash from the water and sewer system to the CIP and of course it does include the general fund rate indirect cost allocation of 4.1 which is a reduction of 2 million from the current year but it's the same as in previous years. There's no change from our standard. Just as in demonstration as well from the water and sewer rate study showing the city's proposed water and sewer rate increases in terms of where our rates fall and with existing rates and then how our rates line up with our surrounding communities and service providers. The proposed water and storm water budget is 15.6 million is an increase of one roughly 1.6 million or 11 percent of the current year. This also includes a rate increase that was anticipated as a part of the 2016 ordinance adapting a five-year rate plan. This is year four of that rate plan. The current year was postponed of course due to the pandemic so it's proposed to continue in the coming year. This would take our equivalent residential units which is a flat rate charged to the resident amount charged on the residential units for storm water would take the rate from $13.32 to $14.15 and it's an increase of 83 cents a month. Again the rate increase from the storm water fees goes to fund our storm water operations both the internal maintenance services and maintenance construction as well as funding 11 million capital improvement program which continues a five-year plan for the 93 million in storm water improvements that were addressed that were identified in terms of looting, use of flooding and permitting our water quality. Again talking about our storm water funds, operating departments for our storm water system include public works which is where the street division along with the maintenance crews of our house these are the crews that are responsible for maintaining our storm water system and the heavy use of the storm water budget as well as our engineering services and then of course we do have debt service and then budgetary reserves as required as a part of our financial plan as well for our financing of our storm water system. One high-level overview of our proposed the proposed water and sewer capital permit program the water capital permit program totals 40 million with the largest portion of that water and sewer CFU the water quality project next to the water plan improvement then our wastewater project is 80 million and of course that includes our staffing our second capacity and improvement but also system rehabilitation the proposed water and sewer project list and sewer project list as well as the storm water improvement list is attached to the ordinance that is also linked on today's agenda for anyone who's interested in seeing the projects that are proposed in this in this year's CIP again 8 million CIP and storm water of 11 million next we have our parking fund our proposed parking fund is 9 million it reflects an increase of 1.3 over the current year budget the revenues for the water for the parking fund actually totals 6.2 which is the reduction of 1.3 million and 17 percent below the current year budget and it's 652 thousand below prior year actual our parking fund is probably one of the most hit revenue streams by the pandemic we still are below pre-pandemic levels from FY fiscal year 1819 and because of the impact on the parking system by the pandemic we are reflecting the use of the American Rescue plan fund of 2.7 the parking fund budget with these funds we're able to be able to continue to provide the services needed in our water air parking fund going forward mostly to be able to include our maintenance projects as well as ongoing operations lighting electricity all the other things you needed for our garages to help keep them functioning clean and safe the parking fund budget also includes 2.8 million in existing debt service for debt service payments from prior issue funds finally moving into our proposed hospitality tax and accommodations tax fund the hospitality tax budget is 11.8 million it is restored to its almost pre-pandemic levels but still not quite at pre-pandemic levels and it is projected to increase 4.2 million of 57 percent budget over the current year budget we are seeing great improvements in the hospitality tax revenue streams thankfully much better than anticipated but we're still below pre-pandemic collection levels so we're not there yet we definitely look a lot better but we are we are not we're not pre-pandemic levels so we are reflecting use of the american rescue plan fund the hospitality tax budget includes 3.4 million for the hospitality tax grant program that's an increase of 587 thousand there are new indications in the budget as to how those funds would be allocated those would be a future conversation with city council so debt service and hospitality tax budget is reflected in 2.7 million that's existing debt that is not issuing any new debt for any other capital projects this year but we anticipate coming forward in future years for being able to with the assembly park rehabilitation it does restore the transfer to the general fund at 3.7 million and the hospitality tax budget also includes as part of its capital projects 250,000 for restoring some major repairs to the fountain and five points but also for funding for construction work and design assembly park rehabilitation to be able to move that project forward in this coming fiscal year its budget at 1.5 million only the accommodations tax is proposed at 1.5 million it's an increase of 57 million right at 3.4 percent right at 4 percent of the current year budget we certainly are seeing a significant impact in the accommodations tax by the pandemic we are seeing improvements as of what we were projecting but we're still below pre-pandemic collection levels much like the hospitality tax budget we have not made any determination as to the allocation of those of the hostel of the accommodations tax funds other than those that are directed by state law the first item in this in state law with regards to accommodations tax is a transfer of $25,000 to the general fund 30 percent is allocated for advertising and promotion tourism 65 percentage allocated for tourism related expenditures those funds are typically allocated from the recommended by the accommodation tax committee which we convening here before July and then come back to the council for approval and then of course 5 percent is for general purposes in terms of how city council has used those in the past that is funded together we can read and has funded previously one colombia this is a reminder from our conversation two weeks ago with regards to how we have proposed use of the american rescue plan since we haven't included out of the american rescue plan in the proposed budget we wanted to remind you to counsel very preliminary discussions with regards to how how we have proposed use of those funds the guidance did come out from treasury yesterday admittedly we have not yet read the 151 pages of that guidance but i assure you we will going through that with Ralph and many of the other resources that have been great for me made available to us and others with regards to interpretations of the of the rescue plan and the treasury's guidance and we look forward to be able to have this discussions as we go forward and this will not pause there for a moment to see if you have any other comments you want to make about the rescue plan before we go on and we want to complete the presentation and come back to anything else is to be kept from ahead with regards to other questions you have you have covered everything quite capably

wish to appeal to you for the support of the city of columbia as you consider the budget for the upcoming year we just celebrated 70th anniversary of the city of columbia's proud fine arts institution in the cultural heart of your city we are beloved by visitors and rest and residents alike but while considering the challenges in fiscal realities and i just heard some better news um around the hospitality revenues this may respectfully request a full support in this budget cycle as you know the cma is city owned and supported facility energizing main street and the entire city the relationship between cma and the city of columbia is a very special one as you also appoint members to our museum commission in the fiscal year 2017 the city of columbia made a generous five-year one million dollar commitment to our capital campaign the city fulfilled its pledges through f y 20 but paused the investment during the current budget year we respectfully urge the council to make the final payment of three hundred thousand dollars to the capital campaign to finish that commitment and pledge in addition the cma requests the full restoration of our grant funding for the facilities operations and tourism marketing in support of at least seven hundred thousand dollars now despite the challenges posed by coven 19 your museum has been very resilient our collections exhibitions and programs are safe and open and very active and i want you to remember not long ago in january of last year the van go exhibition van go and his inspirations was the largest in the museum's history welcoming 63 000 visitors from 50 states and two dozen countries in just three months and more importantly our visitation continues to grow steadily right now we have a bright summer our current exhibition of mc escher is a major draw for thousands of visitors showing up even during this time and our school children are active online and will return to the museum to study world-class art very soon in the coming year we want to build on this success by opening some remarkable special exhibitions i want you to know that i have contracted a premiere show of contemporary african-american art and a major show of rodin bronze sculptures in the spring all of this work i promise to you that our museum will be inspiring welcoming to all community centers and a great viral place to be as your city art museum please know that i'm proud to serve you our constituents and our visitors we have a shared vision and it is to be to spark those connections from arts from around the corner and around the world so it's welcoming to all of us thank you again for your partnership and don't forget me in the budget thank you thank you dala all right anyone else erica no sir all right super well we think the world of the clumpy museum of art is incredible and we live we're thankful for the incredible hard work particularly through the pandemic um let's uh so let's rock and roll let's take them up one by one item number two uh as read by the uh city manager uh i'm sorry is any discussion from council i apologize we can take them up one by one discussion uh ordinance ordinance council ordinance 2021-022 is their motion on the move approval is there a second any discussion and your cameras off with your mics on uh we're going to move the previous question card call the roll mr brunnan yes mr rickamon hi mr mcdowell are you on mute yes i'm sorry mr oval hi mr vine mr davis hi you're vingenet hi thank you as articulated by the city manager right into the record uh ordinance 2021-041 uh is there a motion for approval full move comment is there a second second all right discussion mr davis yeah um sorry missy um i uh i have some angst about the uh i think most of you know about the rate increases here and i i was really laboring on full support of this i would maybe give my support of it but i think i would like to see us maybe at some point either revisit this or pay special attention more attention we've done a lot of it this year to the actual impact of the increase on residents especially residential i think all of you know that this has not been a good year um as a result of the increases in water and sewer and um i i just think that is something that we've got to be very very mindful of um and uh the price of you know a good system does have its burdens but i tend to put the uh residents first when it comes to the impact of our increases in water and sewer thanks thank you thank you mr davis mr duvall well uh nobody ever makes to raise rates but this is a very modest rate 5.02 percent increase that's two and a half about two and a half percent over the two years we didn't raise any rates last year and we have found from robert's yearly um presentation to the city council that if we do not have a modest increase almost every year we're going to look at a much larger increase in the future uh the average rate of six thousand as average use of about six thousand gallons of water per month uh is a little over a dollar increase so i would urge the council to adopt this rate increase we still have for the basic utility fee 300 cubic feet of water that is given with the basic rate so you get the first almost 2100 gallons of water uh with your basic rate so you're only paying for around another three three thousand gallons uh even if you use six thousand gallons a month i would urge the council to invite the bullet and and make this increase i i would i don't mr bear i i don't disagree with you but i'm speaking to the impact sure uh and i don't i don't know if you entertain as many requests and complaints and issues regarding residents ability to pay there are people out there who who are not as i think comfortable as some of us are and we need to always take that under consideration now sam you're in the same you and you've always been i mean i can't think of a rate increase we've entertained over the over all these years you haven't had the same comment because it's important yeah i just think okay no i no no i i understand and obviously um about your comments the reality is that when you make investments in infrastructure you're not making investments for 2021 you're making them for posterity and you're not making investments of $50 now or you're going to make an investment of $5,000 later on uh the i do believe that uh the very thoughtful and strategic investments we've made over the last uh nearly decade now uh will endure the long-term health and benefit of our of our citizens not only providing clean water but also uh protecting our rivers and uh and contributors uh and making a long-term commitment to you know strong environment and sustainability uh we the work done by our staff and by our consultant that helped us get to a point that we can make the right amount of investment in our in our water and wastewater system as well keeping the rate increases uh very low uh is uh i believe the right balance we need to strike but we always i agree uh mr. davis need to keep eyes on affordability and we can pay very well uh to our peers from across the southeast but if we if we never asked that question and then then we're certainly not asking all the right questions so i understand the concern but these are investments um uh particularly in an environment right now where um and interest rates are historically low um so so we've got to make these investments now uh into our our infrastructure so um i i support the increase um as well um but but appreciate your constant leadership in this specific space it's it's important any other questions on the issue if if non sorry are you good um thank you yes sir mr. mcdonough yes just just a word um some years ago uh when we had a water increase of course and i think how it constantly reminds me of uh that first voter i think when we voted on uh an increase for water i voted no and of course uh that was that was just the the tip of what the infrastructure needs were it suddenly dawned on me through the years of course that that increase represented infrastructure tools and needs within the water system of course sam is right on point i think when he lifts up if the increase is going to equate to better service less complaints and infrastructure needs being repaired or being fixed we're all for that so i just wanted to kind of put that on the table sir fantastic thank you there's no more discussion i'm going to move the previous question quirk holo mr brunnan yes you recommend no mr mcdowell yes mr duvall hi mr vine hi mr davis no mayor benjamin hi thank you ma'am all right um again is right into the record ordinance 2021-42 is there a motion i'm overproof this i'll second the motion any discussion saying i'm going to move the previous question per color all mr brunnan yes mr rickamann no mr mcdowell yes mr duvall hi mr vine hi mr davis uh yes with a comment you're benjamin hi i'm going to go back and check robert's rules or our city code see if this thing make you make a comment my friend okay well i'm sorry i'm okay bro i'm i'm kind of reverting back to paint this picture on infrastructure i'm again hoping that that we give that extra effort in terms of the i'm still looking at infrastructure again i don't know what how you guys are dealing with this and yeah i spent a lot of time driving through the areas um fringe roads and road and put in that i'm really encouraging us as a city to do a special effort if we look at the amount of water flowing down the streets and and as a result of that you know it it impacts the asphalt um the latest big challenge for me was uh a couple of weeks ago and i had to go by somebody's house about quarter seven in the morning to very to validate uh the call i wanted to make or would have to make to to staff um just my point is um i i'd like to see us have the best streets this side of the mississippi if you want to look at territory and i'm hoping that we we can up that game and um minimize the complaints we get about the roads howard please howard go ahead i would just like to remind the council that this special water service fees allowed us to get one of the largest the largest water users uh ever on our system and it's the increased revenue from that particular client that allowed us to come up with the 5.02 percent increase and we've not had that we would be looking at probably a much maybe a double i think when robert first came to the council he was talking about 10 increase it's the increased revenue by this special fee that we just adopted uh that allowed our system to afford a hundred and twenty million dollars worth of um capital improvements during the coming year it was very much needed thank you thank you howard there's no uh i think we we've been on that one that was a yes all right we did that that was i mean that what howard's saying is not actually true because if you read what the special water rate is it's about increased fees for delinquency fees from 10 to 40 we just got through having a discussion about how people were struggling charges 80 dollars for disconnection and this and that had nothing to do with the special rate increase that you just mentioned howard so let's let's not mislead people with the wrong statement i apologize if that was in error okay but i i want to let me just close out what i'm saying is seriously um it's a question of what what do you observe when you drive down the streets drive through these neighborhoods we got you we got you okay we but we've got to uh i just think we've got to uh show a little more progress in that um folks are they're so gratified when we do respond and and fix the problem but there's just too many problems with it okay well you know and i and i'm not i'm not gonna i missed kind of the disagreement between daniel and howard was distracted um a bit so i'm not going to speak to that uh but when you're making historic investments in your in your infrastructure and that's what our folks are doing right now i mean that we're making a historic you're gonna have you're gonna have some disruptions to quality of life you just you just but i but i but i i i don't want to fall on deaf ears that our staff are busting their butts being responsive and delivering on the promise of of real and legitimate infrastructure that meets our sustainability uh commitments that we've made uh the very first standalone storm order grain bond and um certified by the climate bond initiative in the country i mean we're moving forward and we're making investments quite frankly that we should have made a long time ago but we're making them we're making them consistently now and we're not going to stop it won't it won't it won't it won't make everyone comfortable all the time but at least until we until we run through the tape but then this year we're going to keep moving forward and making those investments we'll always need to try to get better we always we must you got to get better every single day but yeah the cost of progress can sometimes be very difficult and we got to make sure that all these different concerns that we continue to meet though we've done this without tax increases we've done them with modest rate increases uh because we went a whole long time when we wouldn't make rate increases to make those investments and wound up with a cent decree uh but we're making them now and we'll continue making them uh if we do the right the right thing so i hope and pray that um that uh long after we're gone there's a commitment to hold alive and continue making these investments all right just just just a closing on that mr mayor and i had a all right yes so mr. davis and mr okay just um i i don't want you to not not you but i don't want my attention to this to be misconstrued um i think staff will will verify that any and every time i bring something to their attention they'll call in they can plant and so forth one they're very responsive and two i personally thank them if i'm at the location or i pass it on to clint so it's it's not uh i put down i'm all all i'm saying is that's something where that is an area where uh it won't hurt if we put a little more uh grease on the tracks and the elbow grease you know we we're doing a good job everybody gets credit and gets special thanks when when we do fix the problem that's all right thank you i miss divine yes sir i was actually going to say this after but since the conversation is gone here what i think and that there's points being made by everyone but i think the the reality is in order to continue to improve we've got to make their uh investments what i do uh i think here mr. davis saying and i could um agree to a certain extent on um you know it's it's frustrating sometimes as we continue to talk to folks about the investments we're making but we still get calls about um not being able to get a response or having an exorbitant water bill and not getting a resolution until they contact one of us um i do know that things have have gotten a lot better and cobit has presented different challenges to us so the response that we were getting being able to give people got slowed a little bit during cobit um what i would just elevate um over the next year as we continue to make these improvements and as we um get back to some semblance of normal um that you know miss wilson and and mr. shealy and i know tiffany is doing an amazing job that we continue to be responsive to the customers and make sure that they understand um the problems that may come up i know recently i had a constituent who had an issue um and uh called in and we were able to say because of the upgrade in the water meter was able to let the person know that they had a leak um and the person had a plumber out who told them they didn't have a leak and so we were able to to pinpoint that there was a leak because of the upgrade in the water meter and now that has been fixed and their their bill is going to be adjusted but they shouldn't have to call council members in order to get that kind of resolution so i just want to push that we continue uh to make those things better uh because when we do tell people we're upgrading and that the water rates are going up but then they continue to call because they have a thousand dollar two thousand dollar bill um it puts us in a really awkward position yes i am absolutely that i think you know all of you know for me customer care all across the city is my primary um goal that it be our service delivery be of the to meet the highest of expectations and be um you know what our citizens deserve and so with water and sewer issues and what that means for a citizen when they're you know waiting or you know if seeing something repaired but then the restorations aren't done a lot of that um is is the message that they get from the customer care center and tiffy and her team and and you're right bringing clint bringing on tiffani such an experienced professional with customer care is going a long way the other issue that we're working through is the amount of work out there to be done and i've heard all of you emphasize that if we have small local contractors who are quite capable hopefully of doing some of this work to mobilize them and you'll see on your next agenda some additional funds that we have reallocated to moving these projects because tiffani and those can only communicate what they're told you know that's happening in the field and i and i acknowledge that the volume and then to mr. vines point at being exacerbated through the pandemic is great so we're trying to get some indefinite delivery contracts on your agenda for next week and continuing to do this work i know mr. rickman has has been in my ear about that as well as a lot of you over the years and i feel like we're at a point to really do that and and also boost the economy by getting these contractors to work um mr. davis i hear you loud and clear you have you are doing just what you're supposed to do and staying in my ear and i you know you may not believe it i'll miss you in my ear over the years so to come so it's all good i hear you it's needed for us to to always do better i feel like we're doing great things but you always have to push to do even better and remember um the people that we serve and then i will say that you have always um consistently remind us to be aware of all those that we serve and affordability issues i appreciate you and we will miss you um even through the budget process and so um to mr. daval's point earlier he was right um that it's the next item mr. daval where he was mentioning the bulk well the vault rate was actually capturing the previous item and then the expansion fee and the next item that you'll take up and those are also economic development drivers for us and and so um you know it's just a balance that we have to strike as mr. rickman and mr. davis are saying i get it and you all um all of your combined um directives and guidance consistently mere benjamin mr. vine reverend mcdowell everything you've all said if mr. brennan it doesn't fall on deaf ears so i reassure you that with these um small rate increases we don't take it lightly we know what it means for the people but we're gonna make sure the upgrades continue with the with what you approve for us to do over cold one um mr. mcdowell mr. may i move the previous question please thank you uh before you do that i want to know why teresa said she's gonna miss sam but not miss me but that's a whole nother don't believe everything you hear i was trying to reassure him about his vote bare bids that i get i'll take it i won't take it personally i lost track after all the comments are we on item uh 2021 43 already has the motion been made there and seconded yeah all right so um so mr. mcdowell has a motion to move approval of 2021 43 uh second the motion is any discussion saying none and move the previous question correct Mr. brennan yes mr. rickham in mr. mcdowell yes mr. duvall hi mr. vine hi mr. davis hi mayor benjamin hi thank you ma'am and erica you you got your vote for item pork or yes ma'am yeah thank you thank you all so much all right super all right so we're gonna skip over as we indicated to seven yes sir item seven is in ordinance first reading ordinance number 2021 045 concerning to the included property in a multi-county industrial business part project kataba 919 kataba avenue 318 lincoln street and 312 lincoln street in richland county is there a motion yes sir i moved right mr. mcdowell second all right mr. davis makes a motion mr. mcdowell seconds uh discussion my question is is uh 045 a new ordinance is that the same ordinance number we had before for project kataba no sir that's a new ordinance okay all right uh miss miss uh divined and mr. rickham and uh ma'am um i just wanted to speak to a question i had i know there's been lots of commitments made by the developer i know they've been constantly working over the next though the last week but several of the commitments are vague and i just wanted to know are we going to require those to be fleshed out before second reading or how are we going to make sure that those commitments that have been promised actually do um get fulfilled the um is that question who's that question for um maybe maybe maybe that's a directive well yeah i mean i think i know that even ryan sent us something as as late as about 30 minutes ago with the the commitments regarding trade traffic and safety and it just says commitment and so um i know that in talking to uh the developer there are some things regarding traffic and safety that um require dot and even the railroads which i know would take a little bit more time so i'm asking are we going to hold second reading until those things are in place will there be some kind of memorandum of understanding that can be that is enforceable i'm just trying to figure out how are we going to make sure that the commitments that have been made to this point uh that may encourage some of us to support when we didn't support previously how are we going to make sure those are enforced sure if tk if that's a question for you ryan if that's a question for you but i'd like somebody to speak to that and if the recommendation is to hold it to hold second reading until we have um a comfort level i'm fine with that but i i would like to know how are we going to uh hold them to these commitments and um i'm maybe good mr. maydall yes i was just going to ask whether or not the developers online today i'm not sure about that we can get them on i'm sure but if that's yeah okay mr. mr. davis hi you know i i would be comfortable with the first reading and given them uh i think the some of the points some of the elements of this uh is consistent with what we want to do with the parks and then um either but i agree either by the second reading or we uh we come up with a another time frame for any further clarification that's needed um you know there are efforts from what i'm reading and i understand to um satisfy our requirements to meet the requirements um but also i think what what is attracting me is that there's a a a relationship with with that part of town with that neighborhood the uh citizens organization which has always been a challenge down there but they seem to be on the same page and i think and daniel i apologize you were up next i'm sorry oh that's fine are you done saying yeah okay first of all i wanted to between now and second reading i think it's very important that that we get that it's been stated that there's a million dollars worth of revenue coming to the city i mean to the the county as a whole um we need to make sure staff that set out before second reading and provides us that that is true the case because it is revenue we're taking a fee in lieu um this isn't an economic development deal this is clearly if you read the proposal they brought forward this is a one off project because the tax situation in richland county is too high to do it without it so one of the questions i have is why we can't try to get a better split with the county on the money and the city bears all the costs in here we we bear all the service costs is that something since they haven't done third reading that we could talk to them about as well i think this would be a good opportunity for the city to take a portion of that money and invest in affordable housing um and then lastly i wanted to commend mayor coble for registering for lobbying for this project uh this morning i'm recognizing that that had not been done and that it's part of our guidelines and i would encourage the other members of that team to register as well there are four people who have been consistently on all the emails and they need to register as well before second reading maybe we might want to have all the people who advocate before council on every particular issue to register a whole lot of folks they're supposed to a lot of folks on a lot of different issues who don't register i couldn't agree more uh let's but let's make sure we talk to all of our friends about that uh the consistently for our city card as it relates to the characterization this is not an economic development deal i i couldn't disagree more when you look at a piece of property lay foul of uh as we have across this city and then we have obviously enough disagreements on on uh on this time uh at 20 000 feet uh but probably that pays a fraction literally a fraction of no it's a revenue deal and that goes up precipitously because of of our ability to help create that environment for investment i i i disagree that that's not economic development on the on the set on the second point i couldn't agree with you more daniel on the fact that i think every opportunity we have particularly doing filo to to get more involvement from the county we should always seek that i'm not by hanging my hat on that whatever we can do legally uh goes back to to tamika's initial point let's let's let's articulate obviously i think uh more than an email from staff a letter from from dentistry that lays out the commitments they've made uh to the to the to the uh the folks in those neighborhoods and and those that overlap with the city and the county let's get that articulated in some way that and obviously the things that can be delivered on before second reading let's let's have those delivered on those that will have to be delivered prospectively what we can legally do um um let's let's uh get that done but we're not going to hold up second reading and perpetuity in order to get this done i want to i do want to particularly tamika and ed and sam uh for your your direct engagement and uh tamika you've also come on the table i i've seen the idea that daniel mentioned too about some of his resources going into affordable housing uh we we've got to um continue to be as creative as possible as we have been i want to thank um ryan and thank and and and really thank marcovo and the rest of the team for pushing pushing pushing to make sure this gets done i think it's important uh and it's a way in which uh we we love to talk about about taxes being high as they are for a number of different reasons although we haven't erased taxes in 12 years in columbia uh but it's one thing mire the problem it's another thing to actually decide you're going to do something about it and and we're deciding that we're going to do something about it on this particular project and the other projects that brought significant literally hundreds of millions of dollars of capital investment to our capital city we're not going to stop um mr duval did you have something this duval and mr rickman's hand okay uh yes i just wanted to remind us that we've gotten the letter from president caslin this afternoon through rebecca best about safety concerns that usc has with this project and while we're looking at the things that need to be written down uh we need to look at if we can require some safety considerations for those students that will be living in that development all right you know what's uh i'll think of something that makes some sense um uh going uh going forward uh the um miss divine and mr rickman well i was going to say um once howard at point i i have forwarded that to dursting after i got um from rebecca and um waiting for that response uh oh okay i was going to say ryan sending us more emails but that's from earlier um i did want to just mr mayor make a statement um so i think there are still some things being worked out um i you know i i just wanted to share that i am supportive of trying to work things out with this developer um in order to get this done but i want to elevate my concern i know although this is not um proposed as student housing and i and that was a concern of mine and i think that um dursting has done significant uh progress in the last two weeks of trying to address concerns like um the wetlands and investing in infrastructure some safety concerns i think there's still some other traffic concerns that need to be addressed certainly the affordable housing uh piece um has has been addressed and i know that you know some people would say um it's not enough but it's it's a lot more than a lot of developers who come here do and and certainly elevates that we have to ask for it and this should be the norm that we do on any kind of development that asks for participation making sure that they're helping us meet our affordable housing needs um but i won't say kind of my biggest concern is um as far as a standpoint we do have a developer who's come to town uh checked all the boxes met with the county got in their support um looks like significantly met with the neighborhood and addressed a lot of the neighborhood's concerns um and this is the kind of person we do want to do good development in our city um moving forward though and i know mr brunnan and i have talked about this um i do want us to address this this council's um commitment or desire to continue the work on projects like this for student housing um if we want to change um our criteria make sure that we're putting in things like mr uh recommend mention money for affordable housing addressing you know things being more multi um income multi-family instead of student housing i think we need to address that moving forward um but i i'm concerned that you know if we say we're not going to do student housing forward we need to make sure developers are aware that up front so um i am supportive of this on first reading but i do think that there are some other things that we have to have commitments for they need to be not vague commitments um in writing and i know that they haven't had a lot of time to work on this but you know commitment to traffic yes commitment to traffic but what does that mean what is that going to look like and how do we hold them accountable for those things so i would like to see those things before second reading but because of that i will support it on first reading thank you miss mcdowell then mr i mean let's recommend them as we go ahead i just wanted to add to that that i think it'd be very helpful if we gathered all the things that we need to look at if it's a memorandum how we're gonna have that uh established because there are a lot of commitments that are made and i think it needs to be all put together and then uh get uh some um affirmation from our our staff that that the numbers that are provided to us which the developer agreed to share with us i haven't seen them yet but so that we can vet those and make sure that uh the projections and everything are in line with what what's being presented this is a lot better project than it was when it first came to us um and i think it can get better if we can get all this wrapped up in a boat but i do agree with miss divine and mr brennan we need we need to to look at this as we move forward and really come up a little better criteria and then pre-negotiate i think with the county because most of these projects are happening in the city and we're bearing the costs and we really ought to get um um a better split on the fee and loo thank you um Mr. McDowell Mr. Mayor i move approval of item 202010 all right is that a second i think there was a motion i think there was a motion the second yeah i think that yes sir we already had a motion yeah okay i want to be already had one i'll have clarity from Teresa not on if the motion needs to reflect any um of what you know the addition of clarifying points by second reading or any of the i don't feel like the information that you've received is a part of the item that on the agenda it is it is not but i think i think what um what the request is that those ish those items articulated in the email received from ryan we can make that um the baby whatever can be um uh uh added uh in terms of uh the ordinance uh let's add them but i think a firm letter and commitment from the developer committing to those items should be incorporated by second reading incorporate my second reading those that can legally be done so those that cannot obviously we're going to have to trust the developer uh to to deliver on those promises but i think here's many um hooks we can put in to make sure those those commitments made to the neighborhood leaders are met let's let's do it okay and we'll we'll look at those on on on second on second reading other clarifying documents again any other extraneous conversations that may have been had uh with with here other be summarizing the one document that like Daniel requested so we can all know what everything we're looking at um it lets us keep on pushing i'm not sure if there's some effort um our possibility um ryan is listening and uh and um focusing on on a different split on the philo let's look at that as well i mean that's um it's always a it's always a plus so let's look at that as well but i wouldn't make that a condition my sense is that the more of what we see that's been all the members of council the more comfortable it makes us to get the second reading all right fair enough so we're voting on the we're voting on the uh matter before us as um published uh to the public right the previous question for color all mr Vernon no mr rickerman hi mr mcdowell yes mr duvall hi mr vine hi mr davis mayor benjamin hi thank you ma'am i'm benjamin in council we do have um the the bigger discussion just regarding the incentive itself and and how you all um would like to see that change in any way or move how we move forward on your next tuesday agenda is that still your preference why don't y'all take the first tuesday after um after the beginning of 2022 you think you're gonna get out without having to work a little bit more first thing smoking baby uh let y'all let y'all let y'all uh so uh i'm also and i'm like on february i'm also trying to get the opening night tonight that's a whole other story so let's see if we can make that happen is that a joke i'm i'm serious oh no i i i was serious but i i think there might be a uh interest by the my other six colleagues actually talking about a lot sooner than that yeah um miss wilson um mr britain and i've been talking about it and and i apologize i was supposed to um talk with um miss knots about some ideas that mr britain and i had and i've not had an opportunity to do that so maybe the three of us can connect um this week and then we can bring some options for the council to consider okay mr colman's pulling together um that requested research as well so the mayor he's been working on it so we were preparing to present that on tuesday on the 18th but we can certainly push it into june if you prefer are we a legit meeting like every week y'all just just just this month mayor okay and it's not even the whole month just one more meeting next week i like seeing y'all i like seeing you mr mr uh mr davis um on on this point uh is that something that needs to just come to council or should we really send it through on to the appropriate standing committee it's a good idea great idea councilman as your committee's there i don't i'm not sure i don't want to frame it i mean i'm fine with going to committee which i like to make that referral mr mayor i have to do it out there but i don't have a problem there that's why i think we are on the agenda who you're just so who else is on that committee everybody's so accommodating well oh and daniel who three y'all all right um if y'all come to the committee don't you just kill it though man y'all give us back come back with some recommendations uh uh as i had to make that's that's why i suggest it remember that one hundred percent of nothing is nothing okay so y'all y'all be y'all be creative yeah we can't wait to show you mayor can't wait to show you can't get back on committee beat never yeah um yeah so um but i'd like the copus to share the information down the last whip with right let's take the committee um as there's a motion mr davis to to take um that policy discussion to the economic and community development committee is there a second second second discussion with a previous question for color roll mr brennan yes mr rickamon yes mr mcdowell yes duvall hi mr vine hi

no different some different personal privilege when i when we get to these absolutely i'm gonna you we can do that now uh you you you you you indicated you wanted to make a motion i apologize mr mcdowell yeah what i what i'd like to say uh mr mayor we did receive um an ordinance i'm sorry a resolution for a chief health officer i don't want to talk about it it's not necessary for us to talk about it now it has gone through the necessary processes and of course at the appropriate time would like to add it uh futuristically on the agenda okay so thanks mr mcdowell and you tell me you wanted to make that um bring that up uh let's have it go through the um the agenda review process i i can encourage you to socialize it uh with with the rest of council yes and we'll we'll take it we'll take it up at the at the appropriate time mr um and and procedurally we still got a motion on the floor but mr rickman did you want to get something in before we had the vote uh i just want to clarify just clarify what reverend mcdowell said he said it's gone through the process i'm not sure what that process is and could somebody lay out where that been provided because the rest of council has not been or been notified and i don't think city staff has had it either so i'm just curious what process going through i think the point i think the point that was made is that is that it's going to go through the proper process yes and and uh before before it gets to council that's great i'm sorry yes all right thank you all uh we're gonna move the previous question for call off mr brunnan yes mr rickman hi hi mr mcdowell yes mr duvall hi mr vine hi mr davis hi mere benjamin hi thank you so much madame clark you're welcome the um uh issue of emergency ordinance number 2021 through 27 emergency ordinance extending the mending certain um emergency measures uh you know we're at a point uh in the evolution of the pandemic that i know continues to give this council great concern what the very same time uh incredible hope we're seeing a deceleration in a number of cases uh to a point um where we could have only prayed for and hoped for this point last year a measure has always been uh significant celebration in the in the positivity rate below five percent to extend uh for for two weeks so we've we've met that measurement and met that uh well in in excess of the two-week um uh desired uh tenure uh on average we've had a couple of spikes but but it's been consistently low and the level of community spread is someplace again where we feel it is warranted to um to begin to eliminate some of the measures that are in place there's there's an equal concern because we see a direct correlation between uh the local efforts um led by the city of columbia and other cities and towns and counties across the state which is institute mass ordinance to help that has helped us get to this point with of course the significant um of acceptance of the vaccine the vaccines i should say across the state where as of today we have 34.6 percent of our residents have completed their vaccination about 4.7 million doses received and and and across the county almost 148 thousand people who have at least one vaccine we're so fortunate that um and the numbers are reported that we have no fatalities this year we're going in the right direction uh this council uh is of uh at least the the collective um it's not unanimous opinion that our efforts going forward are ought to be significantly enhanced and focused on on pushing up our vaccination numbers so that we can get to a point uh where we can be closer to the 70 uh or even 80 percent range and we realize the fact that the vaccines are readily available to those of us who may be more privileged and have access to transportation and the like of that that universal access and equitable access are two very different things uh so uh we're going to announce a strategy over the next few days um are working in intergovernmental partnerships and intergovernment and the sectoral partnerships to aggressively begin delivering uh the vaccine uh to to families and households all across this you know i'm positive that uh the leadership of county council and the county administration will work closely with us in that effort again uh ensuring that every single resident of britson county and the city of colombia has access to the vaccine unfettered access and confidence uh and and what uh the leadership of this country um and world leaders i would say have and making sure this vaccine is uh was available and remains available all of us will be our priority we're going to focus intently uh intensively i should say on a vaccine strategy that's going to give more shots in arms uh as it relates to the emergency ordinance and the protocols in place that even allow us to meet uh electronically um i'm going to propose uh two things um uh today to amend the ordinance uh before us we are all happy none more than uh my youngest daughter and probably some of the other children or grandchildren of those on the on this call uh that uh 12 to 15 year olds uh will now be eligible um and maybe getting shots in arms as recently as this week uh we want an on-lamp uh for those teenagers to be able to get their vaccines uh as we approach memorial day and come out of memorial day uh we are fortunate enough uh that that on ramp will give us an off ramp uh when the county ordinance expires on june 5th uh so um my um um proposed amendment to the ordinance is drafted and shared with the public is that we'd extend our mass ordinance to june 5th uh 2021 and i don't mind sharing uh transparently that that it is probably a preponderance in majority of the council uh all understanding the significant challenges before us uh that that that um there's desire uh for the mass ordinance to end but there's a greater desire uh to make sure we're doing every single thing we possibly can do to a public health that needs to gotta make sure uh that we continue to exhibit uh in public i'm vaccinated i've been vaccinated for for well over a month now i'll continue to wear my mask uh uh in public and in in places where i'm not convinced every single other person around me has been vaccinated but we need a window within which we can get these children vaccinated we will we will we will take that window and i would um i would expect um um fully and obviously all that my my colleagues speak to there and that uh that there will not be unless there's some uptick in the number of cases that there will not be a renewal of this ordinance after june 5th uh so we're gonna have to do every single thing we possibly can uh to push hard and fast put our foot in the gas and make sure we get as many people vaccinated between now and then this uh emergency ordinance obviously uh as it relates to the rest of the ordinance extends for 61 days which means that uh the um third week in in july we will return to regular order and council will begin meeting in public uh again again uh barring some spike in the numbers uh which uh prayerfully we will not see and i believe that date is uh maybe july 20th will be our first in person meeting still unsure and a doubt based on some of the protocols articulated by the city manager and and uh and our team will probably be meeting somewhere other than um council chamber someplace that allows us to have proper spacing and distancing um that is my motion uh to council that we extend uh to june 5th to marry up with the county ordinance to give us at least as much consistency across the quick front of richmond county as as as possible uh that we give an on-ramp for these 12 to 15 year olds uh to to get their vaccines if we do this right it gets us through uh memorial day and um uh and as it relates to the balance of the ordinance uh that we expect to come back into um uh into uh regular order meetings in july uh on our july 20th meeting and and madame city manager i might also add that the conversations we've had about about aggressive vaccination initiatives that that uh plan and effort be made um public and available to the public because we're going to need obviously public um a full public participation if we're going to have some success there as well let's push these uh this vaccine acceptance rate up significantly and make columbia um a model city across the country that's a motion a second emotion thank you mr duvall we had a period of discussion any discussion we'll move the previous question to court call roll mr brunnan yes mr rickamon no mr mcdowell you admit you i meet ed i'm sorry yes mr duvall yes mr vine hi mr davis hi mere benjamin hi thank you thank you and and uh mr rickamon please yeah i didn't get a chance to speak earlier i just wanted to say is that i support your efforts to get vaccinations door to door i think we ought to do everything we can to get everybody vaccinated but also feel like we we have been under what we had told people we were for over 30 days and and it's it's really gotten to be a point where it's time to let it go um but uh fully support getting every effort we can to get to every single home that we can to help them get vaccinated thank you thank you any other comment we can do this y'all let's um let's let's let's leverage technology to help us uh get this done but we know it's really going to come down to some some real sweat equity knocking doors and uh there's some folks out there even yes in uh in 2021 who who don't have the resources may have a copious amounts of misinformation disinformation it's our job to help combat that and help people get shots in arms so we're going to take it on take it seriously and i think as always i tell folks we have um we have tension as any public body should you want to have virgin views uh and you want to be able to build consensus and um we've shown in the bill you that lead from the front so so thank you all um uh we are going to we was important we we handle that uh there's a notice of folks who are waiting on that um discussion uh to occur uh mr. duval if you wouldn't mind to go on uh i move we go back into executive session under the previously announced number nine discussion of employment of employee pursuant and sc code 30-4 s 781 city manager and city attorney thank you thank you sir is that a

Longmont Library Board Meeting Sept 20th 2021

Longmont Library Monthly Board Meeting for September 20th, 2021.

gi4y8ubGbaI

daughter of was so so sensitive to the to the blue light coming off the screen that she was calling her horrible life. I know. Okay, we're getting official here. 704 and we'll call the meeting to order. I see no one's public here. So we have no public comments. Approval of minutes. Last meeting. I just made one. Literally, it's that distracted. I think that last time that I copied it, I was like, is it again? Yeah. Okay. So do I have approval for the minutes as a method? I moved to approve the minutes as a method and I said, all the paperwork, I'm okay with this or approve reports and information and see back in a way. Well, as you can see, we're now open for hours. So we have changed our hours slightly from what they used to be. We are during Monday through Thursday. Now, nine to eight instead of 10 to nine, because we had done five informal studies and found that we had just about as many staff members as patrons from page to nine. But we have we set a line at the door in the morning. People wanted to get in for so folks are slowly figuring it out. So it's it's funny because the first few days like nobody came at nine. And then and then now we're seeing people 93945 at least they're trying to figure out that we're open. So 95 on Friday and Saturday and then one to five on Sunday. And those will now be the same hours all year long. They used to change between labor and memorial day. Super confusing for everyone. So that was something that was commented on in our first feasibility study. Please keep the hours the same and keep Sunday off here. So Sunday's been quiet the first few Sundays. So Saturday has been nuts. Evening is still relatively quiet, but that people people will kind of get in the group of what the new hours are. Are you moving up any programming and also like to early? That is the plan when we're back to more in person programming for kids. Yeah, the plan is that it's more conducive to doing story times in the morning. So we will probably be able to do like a 930 and a 1030 before we only had one story. Yeah, I'm in the morning and then in the afternoon, it's not going to work. So yeah, so yes, we are hoping to move programming up earlier. We have a pretty sizable segment of the population that likes you. You know, many people like to get out early. So they are. Yeah, I was going to wait for three hours. We usually finally have a bunch of seniors and a bunch of kids that are waiting. So yeah, so that was the emphasis for that. And because of those open hours or leading toward those open hours, we have kept some temp positions open non-benefitive positions open for quite a while when we were open on our hours. Now we've hired three pages to shellers. Let's see. Two library technicians and one in adult services and one in children. But those are all temp. No, what if it's most of them are anywhere between 10 and 15 hours? So we need them. So that's we have a few of them in place so far training and a few more spillage training. We do have one more service point, which is our routine area, which we would like to staff in the afternoon evenings and weekends, because that's when the teams are there. And so far, we don't we don't have that do that. So people just are running back and forth until the term. So for those FTEs and the budget for the staff, they're in our temp budget. We have it's not a they aren't positions that we go ahead that we have to request from city council. Those are temp. So though they're considered, you know, summer seasonal, some are just temp villains, no better bits, and has to be under 20 hours. So if we have a separate temp budget than than our regular sample budget, for example, we always have more times in the summer with children is when it's not COVID because of summer reading programs, which take, which normally have thousands of kids and take some extra and power handle all of them. I don't know why I put security down here. Those curious issue, I can think of at the moment is that our security system is somewhat problematic. And part of it is that we've worn the keypad out. And it's so archived that it's no longer available. So our tech had to go searching on eBay to try and find something that Oh, no, work. It's the same kind of thing. We ended up with the blinds. A couple years ago, where all the blinds folks that came out, the company was out of business, they all came out and said, no, you need $10,000 worth of new clients. And we ordered three remote controls on eBay. And Jason spliced them together. So we're getting to that point where we do have some systems that are too old six. So hopefully that'll fix because our little way button that we use when we leave the library is stuff like glue. So our learn has gone off at interesting times because the button will stick and then unstick. So they're working on it now. Masking orders, it's been today was a really good day. It's been a tough couple weeks with the masking money. We've had some folks that have chosen to argue about it kind of before we even open our mouths. And you can't tell me what to do. And it's not my name. So I think the staff's done a really good job of talking to people about it and letting them know that you really need to have this mask on and that we would like to stay open. So we would not like an outbreak to happen at the library. So they put your mask on and keep it on. And it's more a question of walking past people in the minute you walk past, there's the mask down below. So it's a constant reminder. We have Jake, our security person and Sherry, who's our evening person. And then I make rounds of the building twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon. We're only just to go up and remind folks. Like as my funniest interaction was, I wish you would just stop reminding me about this. So it is mostly an issue in tight spaces like our temp computer lab that we have set up before we're able to do a lab. We wanted to go because it is a relatively small space. And we have a couple people who have claimed a medical exception, which of course we cannot question who are in here. And we don't know whether they have a medical condition or not. And so it's been kind of a little bit of a struggle between the mask and the non mask. But I'm curious, what percentage of patrons are doing that? You know, today it was almost none. Downstairs and children, it's almost none. When I walk, when I do my rounds upstairs, more often than not is two or three up there. Sometimes it's as many as eight to 10. They don't have a mask on, but today we're going to get one. So I'm hoping that that's a sign that we're going in the right direction about now. So good. So has anyone been begging for stuff? Um, one person, I don't know if I would say who is threatening me, who's sure angry, you know, yelling at the face and trying to get, trying to go behind the desk. So, so, you know, we've had a few, but most of the time, we just, you know, we need to finish your business and you have to leave, you won't work off. And, you know, to the one down the list, you're going to have to leave now because you're screwing up. So, so, um, that is often, it's not as bad as we thought it would be compared to what I've heard from some other libraries. So, but then we have other folks that, that, you know, want us to be more strict and saying, you know, why don't you have what you have restrictions in the children's department or you're asking for vaccine cards for children as the children can be vaccinated, etc. So it's kind of a mix of people is the city looking at doing a mandate, a vaccine mandate? You know, I don't think so necessarily, but I think everybody's going to wait on a kind of a holding pattern right now, seeing whether or not that, that regulation that applies to businesses, if you have over a hundred, you know, if you're like a hundred people, etc. Rather than there's a mask, there's a vaccine mandate, don't know if it applies to municipalities, I don't think that's as slighted or whether or not it will apply to staff, they'll be staffed, though not public. And that would be potentially a vaccine mandate or require weekly testing, but that's not on our horizon anymore. I don't think there's been any written There's nothing on there. It's come from the Fed. Yeah. They're all. Yeah, I've heard some chatter about it, but there's nothing concrete at all. I'll be surprised when it comes. If there isn't something like this, that if you take a federal dollar, you'll comply with it. And that's what the discussion has been, whether in most cities and counties, they take federal dollars. I was the president. Yeah, that's his big step. And that would be, you know, obviously with forced people necessarily to have the vaccine, if they're really anti-vaccine, but they would have to be highly tested. So I have noticed that today's news were a bunch of multiple testing sites reopening that had closed. So I think the Heart of Walmart site is still open and that's seven days a week. So it drives the road walk up. But I think I think I just saw something about the fairground site opening up again. So anyway, do you feel like Jake and Sherry are have the right skill set to help me with that? Yes, I do. Oh, good. Oh, yeah. I mean, they're both really good. They know the patrons and we went over, you know, I sent kind of mini scripts out to staff and we've been doing a lot of coaching just saying, you know, here's how you approach this. If someone says this, here's what you should say, etc. So we try and help folks out. And then, you know, obviously that's for the frontline staff, but it might not give them any hassle and they're supposed to immediately contact Jake, me or a supervisor. I just don't want to put our frontline staff with that. So they've been an effect and it's just a premiere and a half now. I know it's really a huge ask. So I said, today was a good day. We're not close yet, but it's been a good day. I think we're going to hear from health insurers. Yeah, they say there's going to be a differential cost unvaccinated. You're going to pay X. I think that's probably true. It's already happened. Delta is the thing you know. United. Yeah, United. It was United. Yeah. Yeah. $200 more for a month. Yeah. If you don't have a vaccine, it's a lot to be an ICU. Yeah. Yeah, that's a lot. We're also facing some other weird COVID things and we're still waiting for the liner that's supposed to go in the drain system in the keyhole and in the children's department that was on back order to finish off that space. They have a drain system that they put in there that didn't use to drain. We used to get the ice dam and a snow buildup, which is a problem. So, so waiting on that, there's still some work to be done at the back staff entrance and the loading dock in the back, but that can't be done yet. We have some, you know, old rusty chains of inspectors that are not up to code, but that can't be done yet because we don't have the materials or they're still in back order. So whether they'll be done in the fall or the spring remains to be seen because there's concrete that has to be a part of that, et cetera. It's, you know, at some point it's not going to stay hot like this. So, and also for libraries, a big deal is the new paper shortage. So we're not talking toilet paper. This is a nationwide and beyond paper shortage and it's affecting everything from people trying to get their wedding invitations to books, definitely, definitely copy paper, things like that. They've already gone up considerably in price. So we were giving out X amount of free copies to folks who came in and were giving half the amount we were before. Publishing, it's a big deal. I'm drinking this at school, right? We've had paper until December. Oh, so it's every day, is there? Yeah, we've actually had official letters from our book hold seller and advising us to get our orders and now or we won't get the best seller of stuff. Normally publishing goes in cycles and normally there's a pretty big fall cycle leading up to holidays, et cetera, of a lot of us selling authors and now they said that the amounts of the bidding are limited. So prices are going up and Will that affect digital material? Yeah. Do you think that'll apply? No, I mean, or if it does, it may, but it'll be a trickle down thing. And actually, you know, some of the that's what some of the digital publishers are saying, hey, you know, not affected by paper come by us. So we had already, you know, until COVID never goes away. We had already shifted a much larger percentage of our purchases over the last year and a half, two digital materials and are still juggling what the demand is between crime and digital, but definitely more demand for digital than there was before. And a lot of folks that didn't used to indulge in ebooks and e audio became fans during COVID and their their liking for those digital materials has increased, definitely, because a lot of folks that told us anecdotally, they just said, hey, I don't listen to ebooks or e audio books until COVID and now I love them. So but a lot of folks don't like the print books and we're still ordering print books. It's just our prices are definitely going to go out. As far as the print materials go, though, even with this, even though we put a request in the budget for some to kickstart pre-processing, we have done some small orders with a vendor so far. To see how that looks, what that means is for fiction so far. What that means is that we are not physically putting on each little stamp sticker, bar code, RFID tag and my aurora plastic cover. I was very surprised when I first got to this library that all of that was floating up my hand because I hadn't seen it that by hand in a really long time because the vendors do it very expensively. It's actually more expensive for us to pay staff and buy materials to do those things and to have the vendors do it. So that's what we're looking into. And yes, it will free up some staff time once we get into that. No, we don't have staff and we don't have a ton of staff to spare. So it's good that they'll free up staff time. We're seeing folks that do that technical services are the only people that work in our computer lab right now. So so we're a little short on you haven't been back to full hours for a while and we forgot how many staff we were. So so paper shortage was not that a good thing for us. That's what I read now. So that was what I had. Mostly to report for the budget. Any questions on that for the budget? OK, let's jump into the budget. OK, well, I don't have a huge update until unfortunately, because we're early in the community council meeting is until tomorrow. So it's basically all the same. But if we talk about before, I guess you know, there are many things that made it through in this in the budget, both ongoing and one time expenses that I was very pleased with and the things that I was misplaced with were the three positions that are not going through. So for us at this point, I know it's tough because the city can't just keep adding and adding and adding positions. But for us, it's just difficult to function. Our act is not one of the originally and all of yours. And when I look at how long I can get to the info, I think it's I don't think it's going to get all really better places. 2013. And so we're really helpful. But when I look at I have the whole charge, but when I look at the amount of programs that we have, you have the technology that we know handle and some of the other things that have been added. It's just tough to keep up. So yeah, I have a whole I have for the five together for the consultant. Charts that are actually it's actually 11 years of all those stats compared with us level and older. We kind of we're kind of half discounting 2020 because 2020. The stats are not very meaningful from 2020. But just looking at the other stats and and another stat that was interesting to me in comparison and comparing those things rather is that our our FTE of professional librarians is extremely low compared to other libraries. And that's because that's where we've made that's where we've made cost savings by hiring folks to be library assistance and library technicians in lieu of hiring master's degree librarians because they're working. So we have 11 and 11 and Boulder has 26, I think. So and level and even has 14 or 15 professional degree librarians. So that's one of those, you know, that's one of those debates are many things that that folks with experience can do that that don't require an analyst degree. But you also over time, I think you you kind of degrade your service by not having that level of professionalism. But absolutely. Yeah. How does the city go into inflation? You get a really good question. I mean, you know, I mean, definitely I mean, definitely the city looks at I think they do a good job of looking at salaries and and looking at market and how the market changes and keeping up with with the market value as far as our other categories. We usually have to keep asking. We don't get any inflationary adjustment. So that's why I have to ask every year or two for an increase in the amount of money that we pay to our consortium, because we do most of our databases through the consortium and those go up every year by at least four or five percent. So just logically speaking, you'll end up with less. Yes, absolutely. Because everything on anything, I mean, now we're going to pay for supplies. All those things have gone up by a lot. Like I said, our databases go up for five percent at least every year. The descriptions go up, which even the subscription went not like magazine subscriptions. They went down temporarily when the demand for magazines kind of weaned and still has. But now they've gone back up. So just from a conceptual standpoint, I think you are coming into next year about the same level you finished up this year. Yeah. So in reality, you're taking a hit because you'll end up being able to provide less. It's not too bad. The same door. Exactly. This year it won't be the next year is what it will really hit, not coming for the 2023 budget, because we were able to use some COVID bargaining with some of our vendors because they were struggling. So some of our database vendors, et cetera, gave us pretty good discounts during COVID and still earned in for this next year. But I don't think it'll happen after that. You know, they're going to bar it themselves out of business. So we were able to get percentages off many of the things like the database is really one of our most expensive things that we've purchased. But I don't think that that's going to continue. So helps in this. Does the city have projection on inflation? Yeah. Oh, we haven't we haven't talked about inflation as a factor, other than in the terms of the salary package, right, and being at one at market plus one percent. For me, that's the question is a little different. That's that's all the general question. But I but I'm just curious. Do you do you have the number right now of total general fund dollars dedicated to the library in two thousand twenty two. Two thousand twenty two, it's right around four million. So it has gone up, but mostly salary. So, you know, with the conversation we've had around this table is percentage of general fund. What percentage of general fund is the library that I need to look at the general fund continues to increase. In fact, this conversation leads to several questions like in two thousand thirteen, what was the total general fund with city's budget outside of capital improvement? Yeah. And what percentage of that was the library? What is it in two thousand twenty two? How many how many city employees were there in two thousand thirteen? How many will there be in two thousand twenty two? Because we're adding thirty five positions for thirty three per capita. How much for they per capita? Well, that's an excellent question, because your population is not exactly what our consultants, what Annie is is gathering right now. And she's been in touch with San Francisco and his and several other folks in the budget office getting those just exactly what you're talking about for the last ten years. So so I don't have all of it. Are you going to talk more about that report? Which report? Annie? Yeah. So can I still talk about the budget? Uh huh. But I wanted to talk about your catalog system and reference sort of the thing that you want to use with the absolute fund. Oh, that's not a that's a sorter. Sort of. How do you think that affected your budget? The fact that the city believes it's coming from the Emson Fund? How do you think it affected our budget? Yeah. The Mosier Fund? The Mosier Fund. I don't really think it did. I mean what I look at though is that it's been requested at least twice before I got here. And it's a big ticket item. You get the request by nowhere. Also, I don't know at this point because I haven't bought one in years. I don't have any idea of what the actual cost is going to be. So we had to go, we had to issue an RFP because it's not just the machine. It's whatever modifications you have to make. You have to have an induction window outside the insides you're cutting into walls. You're doing things. So we issued an RFP still out there for vendors because we need to have the folks come in, do their mandatory meeting, walk through, do their past drawings, figure out how much the entire project would cost before I could even ask for something. I don't have any idea in this building how much it would cost. So I couldn't go and say, okay, I think ballparky this would cost this much and then I hate to low ball it. So therefore, you were reluctant to put it in the budget because you didn't have it in the budget? Well, number one, I didn't think it had a snowball chance of passing. Number two, I have no idea how much to ask for. I don't want to go in and there was a request a year or two before I got here which was way lower than a sorter would actually cost even then. I guarantee it's probably more just because of the inflation than it is. But at that point, that would not have covered what we needed to do in that year's dollars. So the last thing I wanted to do was go in and say, okay, I need $150,000 for the sorter and finance to 50. So that's where it's coming from. And it's been rejected multiple times. Do you see this as a multi-year project? No, it doesn't take that long actually. I mean, there's a little bit of construction putting in those induction points but then the sorter itself takes a few days. They're not that good. They're big and they're kind of constructed in compartments now. So they're modular. There used to be one giant straight piece of equipment and it was a little bit more difficult to get, bring in and set up another modular and they're very easy to assemble. So the, I think that the modification of the space will take longer than the machine itself. So we're going to discuss the budget and the fund later. It's just, while we're under budget, I have this little thing that I can't shake, is that the city takes the assumption that the funding for this is going to come from the Mosher or the Emsen funds and they'll cut your budget. That's the thing that is twisted around. I don't think our budget is cut. I just think it's not. It hasn't grown. It hasn't grown. It hasn't grown. It hasn't grown with the general funds growth. And I guess where my reluctance came from is that some of the things that we asked for that were a very small amount relative to that were questioned pretty heavily. So if I have a $10,000 expense that's really questioned what is a $300,000 expense? What's the reality of it? The reality is we did it sort of 10 years ago and then we have this fund sitting there. Well as a taxpayer I kind of like the city being diligent in terms of managing its dollars. But at the same time they can't be junior. They can't penalize you for being assertive in terms of managing the libraries and things. And I don't forget that's very... How much does a new fire truck cost? How much does a new fire truck cost? I know. I bet it's more than one of these machines. I bet it is. Didn't we just buy a whole ton of them? And you compare them to the city's safety... Because we are keeping up with the population... I was going to say have you ever looked at safety budgets compared to library budgets? But you know that's changing. But this is where I think the board can help the library where you would be at a disadvantage helping the library. Because you have to function within the city. Hierarchy and you know you're all part of the team and all that. We're here to advise on that and whether we think that's fair or not. From a city's... He's saying we can apply pressure you can. So... We're different. Different, right? Yeah. So let us know how we can help this. I guess I'm to the point with this. Like I said, where we really needed to say ten years ago we are very low on staff and this is going to create a lot of staff time staff time that we need to do other things. So it really is financially sound. Yeah. It's a financial... Well, I've seen it. I've had it in our libraries and that's what happens. Right. So I mean we have these giant... We've got the pick list. We have this list of hundreds and hundreds of things to pull for people's pulls every day, for example, and we never get it done because it's just so many pages and similar to my last library and the library before and after we got a sorter every day it was done before. Because it just freed up so much other time. We're checking things in. For the people who are doing that be able to do the other things that you need though because that seems like a different skill set. And then... Okay. I see your point because when we were having budget meetings I would ask if the money that I had asked for for pre-processing, you know, that freed up some folks who were putting my mark covers on folks that they could be my computer left coordinator that we didn't know. Yeah. But in this case we are really slow on pulling those pulls shelving the materials we've had it. We have to keep doing all the calls for shelving where everybody from neon down shelves because we're inundated. Yes, that's the same skill set. So it would fall between this and we did the same job in the first place. Okay. But it almost seems like the city doesn't use a capital budgeting assuming this is capital. A capital budgeting exercise similar to what you see in business project industry. I mean it doesn't seem like they take all that they have in front of them they rank it all they look at, you know, what's going to return the most for the dollar and that's how they evaluate budget projects. Doesn't seem like That is how it works. There's a fairly sophisticated scoring system. The problem is a sorter compared to a fire truck. Is that, yeah. Or other public safety health and safety stuff, right? Or infrastructure. Flood mitigation. Water treatment. Those things all score high. That's how the library got to where it is. That's the problem. And that happens in libraries in every county because you're going to obviously you need flood mitigation, you need safety equipment, et cetera. And this is very nice to have to move libraries forward but it's not going to compete with that. For whatever it's worth I'm going to weigh in here. I was waiting for my when I come up on the agenda but I would just repeat some of this conversation. So I did submit we were asked months ago, right, for one time explorations I asked you this was on the list. So I raised the question last Tuesday night. We got a cap, just so you know, we got a capital budget three weeks ago. We had 4.43 in the afternoon for the meeting that started at 5. 78 million dollars in expense. We had 17 minutes to look at it before we got into a meeting. So, you know, it's like, what do you do with that? So there were things for me that were priorities to look for. Sure. This was one of them. It's not there. So it just happened to be when we were asked for one time expenditures in May that we were our priorities. This was on the list. So it's like, well, why would we be asked? It's just to show up on the list. I don't care what the scoring system is. So I have, I didn't send an email to Harold and Dale and the crew, General Goldman. And the top of my list, well, I've got things on the list. The other budget considerations was the automated handler. And I've got some narrative here. I estimate it cost 250,000, but that's what you're giving to me back in May. But that was on top of my head. I have no idea. That's all I had was that number. What I have said in this, just so you know, and I've acknowledged that there was an agreement to take out the motion. But I said for several reasons, I think using the motion fund for this purchase is not a great idea. And after our one time funding priorities in May, I assumed we were being asked about priorities to be funded with general fund or some of the resources. Not the motion fund. What I am going to say, I'll back off if you want me to back off. Maybe I'll say to you, I'll back to the board. I'll back up if you want me to. But my message will be, if you want a proposal around which it will be easy to rally the community to create a library district, stay this course on the budgeting process. Under fund the motion fund. Buy this out of the motion fund. And if that's what you want, it's an easy case to make that the city will never fund the library at the level it's supposed to. Even when we have the money to do it and when we've been asked for our one time priorities. I added, by the way, the shelving of the providers and the other things that you gave me. Those are on my list. And honestly, my position is going to be don't ask me what my one time priorities are and then ignore me. You do that at your peril, honestly. That's the message to the crew. I'm not happy about it, obviously. It's an offense to me to be asked and then to be ignored. And then to fund it this way. And I realize we're on camera. No really good chance to watch this. We are going to put this on TV. I know. I'll stand down if you don't want that kind of conversation in full tomorrow night. But I'm prepared tomorrow night to make the point that what we're doing with this budget to the degree that anybody would want to make the case that if that recommendation comes from the consultant that ought to be the one that you carry to the this group carries to the council. This budgeting cycle is going to have to make that case. So he's asking us. Well, you know, I'll just jump in. From my perspective, I always see motion fund as a rainy day fund. The city was absent adequate resources to fund the library that that would be a place that you could go to keep things going, buy things when they couldn't afford to buy. That's not the situation I'm hearing this year. I'm hearing that there's more money than was expected that the city was looking for opportunities. And this one just happened to be ignored or fell through the cracks. You know, I don't want to be negative, but you know, it just didn't bubble up. But you used to realize that we had to submit our budget documents before we knew that this pot of money was there. But even so, you probably under ask, right? Not even knowing that money was there. And even so, we're not talking about what you were asking. The other guys get a relook. Why wouldn't you get a relook? Well, there's going to be a relook tomorrow night. Do you think you should do that? I'm comfortable with that. Are you comfortable with that? It doesn't matter. So let's hear what we think. I want to hear what you think. Yes, perfect. I mean, this has been since I've been on this board, which has been a few years. This has been, you know, a conversation. Yeah. Is that a yes? Yeah, it seems like it's been in issues before you even got here. Sounds like a unanimous, yeah, go for it. I've tried to be sensitive to the answer. I'm in the middle. She specifically said she's not taking a position. We're the ones taking this position. And we are taking that position. And we are an advisory board. We think that that's the best advice we can give the city based on what we have seen happen in terms of funding for the library over a long period of time. Well, what I said earlier in the conversation is that it was my understanding and it may be my misunderstanding that whatever understanding Nancy had with the budgeting process and her colleagues, that this board did not assume that this was going to be funded out of motion. That's correct. In my mind, you talk about rainy day. I don't even talk about rainy day. It seems to me that you ought to use the motion fund to pursue things that are real visionary, that are kind of way beyond what would be really special. Not what's essential to have a functioning library. I agree with you on one hand, but I'm a realist and I've had libraries for a long time. We don't even have a program budget. I spent a lot of decades on your side of this conversation. Yeah, you did. I'm on that side of your conversation today. So, I get to pursue it a little differently. But I don't want to misrepresent this group. That was part of my concern when I said to Harold, what? The sort of motion fund, and then he said, well, you know, we all agreed to it. That was a great question. I didn't think you all did it. So, you had mentioned that it might be advantageous if some of us come tomorrow night. You're still with that belief. Absolutely. And how long do you think this debate is going to go on? Most of the meeting is budget. Yeah, it's all budget. There are other topics. I don't know that they're... I mean, do they do library first? I'd have to go back. There is a sequence. I'd have to go back and look at our materials to tell you where in the conversation. Well, it doesn't matter to me. I have no social life. I can spend... We have family. What do you do now? Can you extend virtually still? No. Here's how I think it's going to unfold. When we got the capital approval budget and there was really no... There was no chance to really ask questions that night. That was my recollection. We were told the next meeting we would have to use three questions. So the next meeting there was an afternoon. I made the point. We got this thing with no time to review it. We were told then we'd get to the yes questions tonight. Now we don't get... What I said was we get to the point where somebody says to me it's too late. I said, I'm going to be really, really worried. That's not going to accept that because it responds. We get far enough into this budget because that's what happens. Gee, we should have fixed this back then. So I'm on record saying that is not going to work. That's just not going to wash this time around. So we were told then last week we could ask questions. And we were told give us your questions in writing. I don't know who else did that. They've got a number of them. And I expect us to get... I want my questions answered before we get into any other budget recent questions. Otherwise, the same damn things we have. Getting it too late. People are going to be exhausted or let's pick this up another time. That's just the way it goes. I know what I want to know tomorrow night and I want answers to my questions before I have another budget discussion. So if we show up, what does that... How does that work? Well, I would suggest that during public invite to be heard you use your three minutes to say either all of you or some of you or certainly you as the board chair to say we understand that tonight begins discussions or presentations discussions about those parts of the budget would include the library whether it comes up tonight or not. My questions will come up. And we want you to know that we are... We all know that our library has been under resource based on the work of a consultant hired by the city to conduct a feasibility study. We know as a percentage if it was a million dollars a year just to get to average and we're under resource by 25% as a general number or 20% at least. And so we're going to be keen to observe and to learn as an advisory board how much of that 20% deficit we will make up in this budgeting cycle and beyond. Because I don't think we're making up any of it. I think we're getting farther. Is this where we start talking about our district and city council? Yeah. I will make this sound like that. Only because we'll get to that with feasibility study part 2. And that is part of what the consultant has been hired to do is to say a district is an option a hybrid is an option to study how these options could best fund the library. And it's going to happen when that's going to be finished in the next few months. So that doesn't work for us. So here's why. Look at this. They are going whole hog. They are wrapping around long monotony. They've been signing this for 5 years. So if we don't move now we are going to lose a huge potential revenue stream for the city's library to Boulder. Their number is 4 times 5 times. What your number is 20 million. That's what their district is going to create and they're going to suck a whole bunch of that so we need to attack now. We can't wait 2 or 3 months for this report. We have to start talking about it. We have to start now because we have to be on balance next year. Wouldn't that give the city less incentive to give us money in this budget cycle if they're like well they're just going to become a library or crack a library or district anyway. That would be okay. A year of pain. It's okay if we double our budget next year. New building and all the things like building the library. Isn't it... We want to do what is best and in my opinion for the feasibility study course that seems like a very logical answer. Can I say one thing about the feasibility study? That thing was supposed to be done before the pandemic. It was, but it's not. And so therefore if we... if this will on development oh no, you can do it again. That's what next slide was. They got to vote it down first time. The point that I'll make tomorrow night unless you'd rather not is not to short circuit the feasibility study would be to make the point that if the expectation is or if there's an expectation that we won't proceed or there isn't an appetite for proceeding on the city staff this budgeting cycle is going to is a big or this decision is a big mistake. If you don't want to see that kind of a proposal come forward then what people who care about the library are going to want to see that we are making up the deficit and this is not how you make up the deficit. This sends the exact opposite message. It says a clear message that we move forward fast on this other stuff. Well, I'm just saying that they need to hear that I've said it they need to hear it tomorrow night publicly. I don't mind talking about the library but my concern is that it'll get in the way of this budget the people will start fixating on that if you won't get the money. So maybe it's a timing issue. The folks that are already upset and happy about a library district before or even then for you will say something. Now if we want to do something a couple weeks later fine but my personal don't want to have it get a certain money in the water or the property. But it's a hit's point. I think it's not going to come off. Right. It's got to be clear with his lead. Right. One decision is going to influence the other. Right. Whoever in the community how are the people in the community think about this, they think about it. Some are going to be automatic. Well I think it's important for decision makers in the city understand this is not a decision made in isolation. There's a keen interest on the part of people who care about the library to see deficits made up or it's a clear message that it won't be through the traditional budgeting process. There's not the will or the appetite to do that. The only alternative that is is to create a district. But I'd like to do the best job I could to make the case in this budgeting cycle to do more. The specter of the potential library district which should be a reason to pay attention. But part of the case for me is for my recommendations and then you ignore them don't ask, I mean that sets up a different kind of communication with the city staff that I just assume we not get into. I would rather not happen that way but they need to hear that message as well. I've also seen this work in another way where the city is very worked looking at a district did, the city did kick in this much more money and then everyone said what we started doing the rest of the, you know, getting people together and enthusiastic about dedicating funding said, well you just got a bunch of money. And what we got was like 100,000 bucks, or 200,000 bucks when we needed 2 million. So that is a little bit of a concern for me too is that kicking in and saying look, we gave you $300,000 an hour done when we're short buying ideas. That's exactly it. The division is a library for the 21st century probably the 22nd century but that doesn't really get it done. Of course not. That doesn't put you on the road to creating it. I know that and you know that but when that's the public they say you just got a bunch of money last year, what more do you want? I'm just saying that that happens. Well this is, you can kill anything with an incremental improvement. We used to do it all the time in corporations, right? Do you want to kill a project? Let's give it a little bit more. Let's give it the time you did and then people say look what you got. So yeah, that's not what we need here. We need to double our budget to give the city a better result. But that's not going to happen this year. Not going to say. But it could with the district next year. So, anyway I don't want to use this as a like a bludgeon or anything with your budget. I just want to do what's right for the library and for the city and for the library services that it deserves. Because we're not the city we were in 2013. We're looking at close to that city. Because that's when I moved back. And libraries are not and some of them they are either. I mean, so I think his approach is the right approach. I think that we need to do that. But I also think that we need to do a couple weeks from now and I can move into this. Stuff from the library that I met and we'll talk about that later. Well, I think it's good. I do think it's good that this particular money is tied to one thing. That you've asked for ten years ago. And so it's not like we're giving you $300,000 to do with what you want. It's for one item that you've been asked for over five. That's easier argument to say then. Or about we need more money. Period. They still said go to the three-year position. Okay. And two of them are for time non-benefit and they're like this much. I mean, the amount of pay for a quarter would fund those positions for six, eight years. Well, that's to those numbers. The staffing numbers are going to be really not for tomorrow night. But before we finish this budget, I want to know the percentage of library employees, what percentage you represented in 2013. What percentage you represented in 2022 compared to the overall number of employees in what you represented in 2020. My guess is it's going to be much smaller. Well, and it's not even, it is, but it's not even the size. It's the diversity. One of the positions we asked for is a bilingual outreach coordinator. That wasn't a thing in 2013. We did a computer lab coordinator because our needs have only grown in that area where something more sophisticated than just dropping it from there. But if you came to the numbers, you'll never get that diversity. No, you won't. So one way to make the case is to say if we had just kept up the number of people employed and assigned to the library for 2013, you would have, if this would be more FPE, diversify it in ways that make sense in 2022. Yeah. Well, I will commit to come tomorrow night for whatever it's worth. And maybe I can touch base with you on some numbers. That's where I go as well. Do you want help drafting a secret or if you're feeling extra grace? Move by the spirit kind of thing. You know, he's a passionate guy. He talks a lot. So. I'll take whatever help I can get but I think I need to make sure that that helps. And if you guys have time and want to come along, I mean that I have a way to say meeting as well so I've got to skip tomorrow. Yeah, I can't. But I'm good. Maybe we'll be there and you have a great, great, great. I have another meeting. If my kids are vaccinated, I can bring them. This was January. The message is you're on your own, boss. If I could zoom in, I would. I said on my own before. Okay, well, all right. So anything more on the budget before we move on? Okay, how about the friends of the library before? They're meeting Wednesday. Now we're meeting before they are. Okay, so we'll skip that one. We're going to have a same sheet though. We're going to have a same sheet and we do not. But we will next. We'll cover through the end of this year. For those that are attending, as long as you know that it's on print, we'll work on some of your things next year. Next year. Okay. Then I think we've covered everything up the whole business and everybody's starting to hear what's going on. We have a meeting on Friday with Annie. She's been crunching lots of numbers. She's been helping her assemble. The meeting will be this Friday. This Friday. So I don't have a ton of info for you. She has finalized questions for stakeholder interviews. We've given her a whole list of stakeholders. So she'll be doing a lot of 20 to 30 minute calls or online meetings with stakeholders just to update. I think that the initial consultants missed a few folks and also some things have happened since then. So some of the questions talked about some of the same things that the first consultant did, the role of the community in the libraries, for instance, challenges in the library, the facilities definitely changes in the next 10 to 20 years. So that's the next step with her. Like I said, she's been profiling data, the stakeholder interviews come next, and then it's going to be the larger group that meets, which includes some of you folks on the board and friends and other groups. So is that a September stakeholder interview? She will start interviewing as soon as we have our meeting Friday. She will be interviewing folks next week. So we could be asked to interview that week. Okay. I have both of you on her list. Good. You may want to give her a heads up to as we crank up back on her. Where are we at with the feasibility study? So, I mean, it may come all the way around. There's a little debate about that. It also took months for them to interact more correctly. I know you were. We balanced that out. She expected it to start months earlier but she did not have it on her. She did not have it on her. Anyway, that's where we are. We'll start the party. Well, maybe you can send out an update. I can send an update. Remember and I'll reply all but you can send comments to me. Give us a heads up. Any questions on the feasibility study? I have a lot of questions. Are you going to buy it? I'm sorry. It's like rock star plays and makes the end of it also. Okay. Mosher, Dempston, Fun, Paulus and Babies. I put it together. I got one comment. Hopefully that was nice. One of you to just change it from quarterly to semi-annually. You would ask for more frequent. I exchanged it to quarterly. Mark said two frequent. It's semi-annually. I think if you're doing the whole update on it, semi-annually is fine but I don't think that concludes the library from making your request. This is just the semi-annual review. My take on it was I thought it should be more of a savings account than a check. They should be bigger items to the councilman's point they should be visionary and it should be special. It should be a property laundry. It shouldn't interfere with a friend, shouldn't interfere with the chief. What have you done with the policy that talks about it's purpose? So I didn't really put a whole bunch of purpose. I said the review will be the library strategic plan and then the request list in relation to that strategic plan which I expected two years after. It's up to you forever. There was no strategic plan. So the reason I asked the question wasn't any, I did not put any I didn't want to put a situation on the library per se because I don't know what they thought but I didn't think they could. Well let's hear that. It seemed to me that you'd want in that policy statement or in the policy statement is there a purpose of the motion fund in the Emsen fund? Unfortunately in the funds themselves descriptions say dedicated for library purposes. And so then you ought to be clear what those purposes would be. It seems to me. Because if we had that policy and there was a real clear statement that this is not to supplement what's necessary. I did write conditionally fund request and that should represent items that the library would not be able to get via friends of the library support nor a annual budget. Should I be more strident in that? Pretty things like that's a generic statement that fits what we want. So in your comments to me it wouldn't be a bad idea to say we have been working on a policy statement. Specifically to guide how we think and what we do with the motion fund. This is what we believe should be the purpose of the motion fund. Which is what you're doing is inconsistent. They put it in there. The motion fund is identified as the funding source for this sort of fund. I told them that we didn't have the specifications for how we would spend the fund and that the only thing that I knew at that point was that here's the fund, here's how much is in here, that the library wanted the appropriate funds we had to make a library request of the board and then the board had to request it. I might make the comment tomorrow night or some other night. This had fallen off the books. It didn't even show it. Well that's what I did. I didn't even fight it when I got here. Until we raised the question what about that fund? Which fund would that be? And then so for, I have to say this is my to tell Harold, to do this without consulting with this group whatever conversation I have with you is one thing but to not... I don't want to end up I like my job. Thank you. This is about... Are you going to request this? These little requests aren't going through. What do you think about having more money available when we turn in our budget? Which means at that point to request a 300,000 dollar item when 10,000 dollar item is a good question is not something I thought would ever work for. Sure. So at that point though I mean Harold talked to me about he said he had this motion of funds that he considered and I said yes I would consider it but we have not made or the library has not made a request of the board at this point. Right now we have an RFP out to see how much this project costs we don't know. So that's where we're at. My message to Harold is it's really bad politics for the part of the city manager to assume the city can spend the motion fund without any consultation with the group that you convene and ask for advice. And no matter what I've said they're going to turn around and say I asked them I asked them to take out a portion of my money. You didn't ask me. As a liaison. Because I offered this is not about you. And you're because there would be more people It was not well achieved that I gave you a wishlist for that. I'm going to step that wishlist down somebody's Did you ask her for a wishlist? Yes. Did you tell them that? Yes. And it was not well received? I told them that. I pushed her for it. And I told them that. And it was not well received from your boss. I would ask you to name names except where I stand. Nancy. I want to let you know that the double doors on the inside and close use the can side that we're looking at. That's the one that opens the other windows. Okay. One question since getting away from the larger discussion who's named us for a huge challenge. Should we say it in the name? Okay. We're talking about what the review of the board will include in the third paragraph. We say this board shall include strategic you know total amount strategic plan and all that. Should we change that to May? May include. It's probably better. Give us a little more room. You could take what Katie read and seamlessly connect that with and what's visionary or necessary operations to cover those kinds of aspirational the language he has but to connect with what we're using. I think we're close. What I'd like to do is sending an idea Katie based on this conversation for a second reading and then put it up for a vote. It's good. It's a live document. We're editing right now. I can send it back around to you. We've heard some different thoughts. Maybe we want to interject and maybe not. Let's take another shot at it and I mean never. This isn't something that's burning to get done but it's something that we built to be done so I think now based on everything I'm hearing it has greater emphasis than when we first started out so send it around for a second reading if you have anything we'll throw it in there and we can put it up for a vote that's some reason. Thanks Katie for doing that. I just want to sort her. She knows that this is going to cost her. This has been something that we needed for a long time. In relation to the small staff this is the exact kind of equipment we need and the last thing I want is to say forget it, we're not even going to entertain looking at the brochure fund we're going to ask for the budget it's going to get refused and then Lord knows how long it's going to be. Then the board will react to that. Then we have to go through this RFP process is not a short one. We've got to go through the thing multiple times. You don't even know a passport so that you get your custom proposals people come in and tell you how much the thing costs to give you a proposal. Normally if you were doing this you would then bring the proposal back to the board and say this is how much it costs would you entertain going to city council and asking for this much to be taken from the brochure fund in order to purchase this if they said yes and you go to council meeting then you buy a sorter. Well I could see putting a flood number in the budget like 250,000 or whatever I don't know what that is well here we are here we are so I could see putting a flood number in the budget and then if it's 320,000 or whatever the board then would pick up above the flood number but you know we would obviously like the flood number to be plus and I have seen this council go back and add funding to things multiple times so it's not a maybe they could take a wish on one part of the project. Can I say one thing, doctor, in the language around like visionary projects I love that idea but I also if you don't think in the library district I don't want to tie Nancy's hands that's not quite an average option to not be able to get what she needs because it's not visionary to have a sorter. That's why I like the way you go there but I do think in spirit we should try to move that direction I hope my only point was to be clear the expectation is the motion from the incident is not used for what would be operational operations and it's not to supplant the kind of funding that you should expect for operations. But I would add in I felt the same way since I got here with my friends about how libraries have program budgets and they are friends that bought us our computer management system to manage our computer they have funded all of our programs they have bought software all kinds of things that have supplanted what should have been in the library budget so this is not a new thing. But if we had not asked the friends for some of those things it's one of the reasons we're being appeasable aren't you? I'm just saying though there's a particular understanding of this fund before we know what's going to happen with the feasibility study and where your eventual funding change are going to come from. We're saying let's wrap this piece up but is that wise to do before we know the long-term process is going to be for funding libraries? Well as long as we keep it reasonably generic wrapping it up to lock it down he's not wrong but at the same time it's like money that was buried somewhere and nobody is controlling that money right now nobody's saying what should be done with it library purposes that's it this is the library purposes group so we should step up and we should say we're going to figure out how this money gets spent and if she says I really need this order now and there is no other way to get it in the short term I don't see a problem with it but this is something the city should take out and spend it on. Well I agree with that my intent of the policy was to create some responsibility around the management of the money the money was just sitting there it had a likelihood of being squandered there was no responsibility set up for the board I think it was incumbent upon us to try and put some framework around that whether this board or some future board at least has some guidelines on how to manage that money well it goes into our bylaws but it is more we can change it now it's in our bylaws the absence of this is what got us into this discussion had that policy had that policy been adopted and people were aware of it and it might have been less than inclination to assume that we would use the motion to fund something that is essential for this library that policy were already adopted and it can change if you get a library district that's what you do all the consigns that we are trying to address in this policy kind of bubbled up through this budget because the interest in trying to use it as a piggy bank to supplement the general funders budget the intent is to board itself actually it supplants the Chippewa okay should we okay on that one send it around again moving on nothing on the little fruit libraries we have two passability I'll be really good at passing for that one okay N-A-R one of them is a little free library at the hope shelter, the overnight shelter they seem quite interested and the other one is an opposite type thing it's a brand new coffee shop in town it's looking for a bookshelf or patrons going on main they seem like the religious community outreach they did quite a bit in front of the library so far your read is starting to get more involved with little fruit libraries okay great I'm going to move on then Boulder library district update I didn't see much of you I'm going to get everything that's out there so prudence from a friend of the library we are going to have a meeting on the 27th of this month which will be the first beginnings of a citizen committee to look into this she's going to bring a couple people I'm going to bring a couple people and we are probably going to Boulder's work so we're probably going to copy some of what Boulder did in terms of reaching out to the community saying you guys anybody interested in joining this committee things like that anybody here interested in being involved with that Boulder committee has a good website oh yeah I'm going to deep into it prudence is right by the way she's awesome we're going to have a lot this is going to be not only an important project it's going to be a fun project I believe we did I'm just saying I don't want to be able to meet well why don't I unless it's Zoom that might very well be sometimes if it's a planning period or something the rate we're going right now we're headed back towards Zoom why don't I get with you to coordinate with some of you so basically I will get to her the exact time and place and then she'll send it out to you guys and anybody here who's interested welcome to join so I do want to limit to a certain number of people I don't know how many yet but you know it can't be it's got to be somewhere between 10 and 15 probably can you touch with me if you need to if you want to meet the person in the conference room let me know and we have the LPM space as well so we have lots of places which may be better because you can probably do more there than necessarily the fifth one is that I want fifth Warren he would be the guy that we should contact I know, I thought he was dead because there's a baseball club named after him already but apparently he is the puppeteer so anyway my friend knows him and has his contact info I don't know how we would approach him necessarily but if we want a nine one that's what I'm talking about we spend a lot of time with him he's not we got to be big time we already have a memorial public space and you're alive it says Bruce W. Fifth Warren he's an attorney I'd like to if you'd like me to if you'd like me to if you'd like me to if you'd like me to if you'd like me to if you'd like me to either the morning or the evening or the morning my guess is it'll be a day but that would be great the name isn't a thing I got to 27 it's a little bit I mean it would be our normal we'd be that's coming Monday but this was next week so I will get I will get all of them for her I think we talked about it well you set it up how you need to set it up but for me I would prefer either the morning or the evening we have not set a time on that would you all like me to I can send you the list that Annie has of stakeholders that she's wanting to interview you can reply directly to me remember I don't reply all but if there are some that you see that you would like her to interview as well and you may get some ideas on the list too awesome then so is this really a combination of the library different update and your board activities and what conclusions do these abilities have depends on the feasibility I can tell you that well I don't think there will be anything the feasibility study is going to say that the library needs an independent source of funding because the library is going to be low on all of those level of service parameters that we talked about before on space per capita on collection per capita on programming, on technology on FTE on all those things it's going to be at least a hybrid it's going to be like a hybrid I would be shocked if that were not the case but I just don't think that I mean I think y'all think I can ask for a $300,000 piece of equipment which I can skeptical about but I don't think I can say can you throw in another couple million dollars on top of that so I don't think that it will interact in moving any direction I just believe that right now the fact that Boulder is doing this for real for sure is going to negate much of the negative that we've seen especially when folks know that they're including NYWA and some other well they're including everything right up to our board right up to the city board all along it I don't think people will be as shocked about like Youngborough but I think NYWA things that are in the St. Marine Valley school district I think that that will be impactful because usually library districts go along the school district border more often than not we might even get the school district so who have possible so that's I think now is the time I don't think we should wait and wait for the study to be done if the city wants that I don't know how fast it will be done so I think you should do what you need to do yeah we need to get it started we need to get it on the ballot next year if Boulder is doing it and we need to make it clear that this needs to be fair NYWA is using long logs are you using both about equally when we look to do work yeah then maybe we should be looking at something that works and realize that NYWA wants a branch because they're not going to they haven't been paying for library service they're getting it free so they're not going to say oh allow me to pay money and not want something in return but on the other hand that site of Longmont leading toward NYWA would be a great spot here in our branch they're pretty far away so yeah I totally agree so that's kind of the thinking here let's just keep moving I'm certainly not going to stop there's a reason I asked to be at a library board this is one of those reasons a lot of that surprises me gee what a shock are there local close by hybrid districts the closest thing to a hybrid that I know of anywhere nearby would be Cooner River in Portland but I think there are less hybrid than they started out because when they first separated from the city and became a district they contracted back for a lot of stuff for HR facilities maintenance for a lot of stuff I don't think they contract back for nearly as many things as they did I think they've had a good relationship with the city of Fort Collins I think it's been relatively smooth but I don't think they're as dependent on that relationship as they were that's just what I've heard though and I can talk to David Slivkin as the director there we will definitely do that once this is done he's just about to retire so it would be good to get him quick life he might be more available so what's his name? David I can give you his contact tips Slivkin but he would really be a good one to talk to you about that we've also been talking to so I've been doing these city council interviews with all of the city council people and one of the people I've been working with is a fellow named Richard Lyons from Lyons Gas turn's out he's an expert in library districts he did the Lyons Library District he hears he's done a bunch of stuff he's retired and I did try to suck it into this but didn't succeed at this time I think I have to get his wife involved but you still know Kim but at the same time he has other people in his firm so we have a local firm that knows a lot about other districts and districts that's a really good thing so just so you know we're already starting to have these conversations okay so to recap this friends of the library maybe next Monday it will be next Monday I just have to get a time to talk to you about the formation of a citizen committee and a formation of a library foundation that will work alongside friends of the library she's interested in talking about those as M.I. so let's see the big thing and don't discount talking to Eric Pazamba through that because my last foundation in Ballingham was one of three the city's foundation and we got about $6 million in requests in the short time so we have and we have two choices here Kelly and the law might want to they're both very good so just possibly if you don't want to if you don't want to do all of the stuff yourself like they gave us a great deal we will run the foundation that's what community foundations do so we want that I mean favorite libraries have their own foundations the foundation director and all that stuff now we want a place for people to put their access money they would like to do to their library we'll have it be offered to them as an option and to get people to think about it you want to make sure such requests are in place that's right how many starters can I name find a place to put his name no I would not buy a store it would have to be something much more interesting that was a couple then well I know this is a couple but I prefer no names okay so we're good on the library district being good on the board follow up so far on the book Nancy tell us what you know I don't know as much as I can but I have a meeting tomorrow they couldn't give it to me before then with the City Clerk because I gave them what I had and they at first said no no ours are right and then supposedly once they dug into it they found a reason for the discrepancies so we are meeting tomorrow in person so I will get back to you ASAP because I told it said that there's no reason that one should be five years and one should be three years and I understand about finishing terms and so that's the first time they could give me an appointment I told it specifically that you did so and it was free so I have to meet with them tomorrow maybe you should hold on to that five years what do you think they may meet in a year or so that bleeds into letter F because they're the same ones that change the meeting date things they change it in some spots and they're still wrong on the main library page so that will also be that's also coming tomorrow because I'm going to be in their office okay fair enough comments from the Board want anything I hope that we can from the domestic market we'll be involved with this effort but you can keep us up to date oh yeah how do you do that in a way that we're keeping what's sunshine on us I have to figure that out because it's going to have to be you're not going to be able to do it as an official you can't I mean you can put them on the mail I'm sure we're in trouble with Slack you can put it on Slack yeah you can't do that but we could have a public website you can put it on a public website we did that in where was I we had a website and I guess they're engaged it's not a bad thing we use that to gather questions for the mayor and city council we're putting on we got some interesting there's puppets and that's often where you want to get the basic advice from a local attorney that's in they really laid it out for us in Tarn County and said here is what you can do you are the basics of what you can do and here's what you absolutely can do and that was useful so if this is a board driven activity it really can't be a board driven activity the board can support it but depending on which state you're into this is why we need to help a Colorado person the board can support it we also don't well I don't know if that's true it may not be true well we have no fiduciary responsibility so we aren't actually we're not really a board we're an advisory council so we can honestly we can do anything we want really we can pretty much I mean we have sunshine laws we have to do all those things but there's nothing limiting what being one of us can do once things get further as far as library staff go we can educate but not advocate and there are certain things like library staff would be if you're perfectly fine for us to hand out your flyers that say you know you can even go as far as to say if this was our budget if we were to have this amount of money here are some of the things we can do can't say for sure it's called next life Loma did this and LP Loma Power Communication did all of these things and they work closely with my group which is called Friends of Fiber Fiber it's good for you and they didn't like that they liked that one but we really helped push that group and they work closely with us to help distribute our stuff and so there's a model already that the city has done before so on our meeting minutes we couldn't create something that says like local activities involving the Longmont Library and for those I mean you could post anything there but you could post this sort of thing there and that would be like a common you probably could thing that you could get the information you wouldn't necessarily fall into sticky issues would you do something like that I don't know I don't think so so you just have to be careful because there are people who are going to be the vote no people no matter what you are going to be looking for whatever mistakes you made the library and the press and country have been through lots of times we wouldn't necessarily endorse it the communicating activities involving I think you could say that this library advocacy group is meeting at this time it's not going to be related to this board it's going to be something that we do outside this board will be involved some people on it will be involved but I'm involved in many things this is one of many things I do and that's true of all of you so there shouldn't be any conflicts there should not be an issue so yes the answer is absolute this is information anything else talk to them see you tomorrow with that 831 we're adjourned next week is October 18th they are thank you right they are going up we'll see you very soon

everybody happy Thursday everybody good to see you all get ready for help day last day of the week it's not the last day technically I mean Thursday is most exciting day of the week but Friday is coming up tomorrow a lot of good stuff going on hopefully everybody got a little piece of this ASTR could see everyone also decide thank everyone for more to all of you too um hopefully we've got a little action in this ASTR nice little move you know I noticed um as we were watching this stock it wasn't a really big move you know it was nice it was a level one stock 18 million shares already traded you could see that you could see long-term stock took a very big hit all the way up here at 625 but she's moving pretty nicely well really pressed me about the stock there's a pretty big buyer right now around a buck 40 I'm going to show you right here and it looks like you got kind of executed and it looks pretty good I like this nice nice little order right here a nice little fill order right there let's see you know what it's got a lot of room I mean it's it's taking a lot to move the stock I mean you got to remember 90 maybe more 95% of people can't trade this stock until line 30 until the market opens up the only people have access to stocks like this is people like you and I so stock is doing really really well like the actual you know like I said it's on the watch list and a couple all the ones and there's a couple although up we're going to look at a few other stocks too got a pretty decent list here it's also some stocks getting crushed so we're going to look at some of those but let's talk about what happened yesterday regarding about what happened in the market for some of you missed out there were a couple of really really nice shorts Revion was really nice short yesterday just you know what was nice about Revion once again big support levels big iceberg orders and I really was very impressed with this little order right here I mean this there was a big order right here and he got filled and it slings shut up I'm like wow me it's a bounce but sure enough it never really happened and it just kept going lower lower lower nice little short right there on Revion if anyone got a little piece of that one that one worked out pretty well a couple of the stocks right here NRDC that was an early bird runner in the morning 9 30 just got halted a couple of times 220 up to 260 very cheap very expensive this one's going back on the watch list so SPR had been having a really good move it didn't move until later in the afternoon the only thing I did not care for SPR it wasn't one of those stocks that had a really nice trend it had a couple of shakes right here I don't like when stocks go from 22 down to 21 like that and then they go back up a little bit on the difficult side well it reminds me a little bit of like which we're going to talk about a little bit now which right and let's go through our watches AMC well I remember we trade AMC this reminds me a little bit of how AMC trades but it is moving up pretty decent this morning it is going back on the watch list where are we order orders wise this is what I'm talking about you got some 21 23 guys sells a 25 so the stock you could see right away is not your level one level two stock your prop even though you might see a penny spread right now the stock we're probably talking in probably a category four but you know what I like we'll put it on the watch list life w great winner for some of you missed out last this on Monday that was basically our biggest runner of the week that stock ran from three dollars to $16 she did it again yesterday a couple of big holes the stocks are short squeeze okay and this is what how I know it's a short squeeze look how the stock goes from six dollars to 11 right back down to six so listen you know what we teach here at cyber train university is where it just look for those orders get in take the small profit and get out of it but I told you this yesterday they're going to screw somebody out of it um so just you want to you don't want to be caught at that and you should have basically caught on to that right here so everybody noticed that right there what is that that is one gorgeous foul still flag okay so we all have to have foul still flags work if you're a student at cyber train university so the good thing about being in stocks like that is you learn you learn you know what I mean you learn not that you could have made money on that stock you learn how you could have lost money on that stock remember we do the total opposite would teach people out there try to teach you they all try to focus on you know they'll like to brag about the winners I like to pound their chest you know I hate going on instant make instagram and seeing these people have stacks of hundred dollar bills jumping on you know on a private jet which is basically all fake news you go like you could tell by just seeing the people replying back to that but that's not what it's about okay do people make that yeah I know some people that have I also seen a lot of them you know out of business because they got too they got they got over their head but the goal is not about you know looking at that the good the the thing is is just focusing on making a day's pay okay and that's why I've been here listen I tell everybody else you know I was on NASDAQ yesterday I was on a couple of analysts on a panel and if everyone had a chance to watch it but um and these people are very very smart they know that they know there's they know their shit you know I mean they're very they they they know the the farm uh payrolls they know you know I I mean earnings P ratios you know GDPs they know everything you know what I mean one thing they don't know is when they start seeing NASDAQ level three when I was talking about that and they're like you know just don't can't work for them and they all agree you know what listen it's all about making a day's pay that's what it is and if you've been here for 30 years you're obviously doing something right now let's talk about what's moving this morning and let's see what is going on so we got a couple stocks that came out with some earnings announcements AFRM uh came out with some good earnings yesterday you could tell just by seeing what happened at 22 shot only 25 now regarding about orders listen it's got it's got you know 25 is a very you know biblical number in trading community you could see right here it hit 25 big order came out there and it just shot right back down to 2460 and if you look right here 25 was yesterday's resistance levels too okay so there is a lot of orders out there but it's also we've traded the stock the last couple of you know in the past few weeks AFRM you know you got to be very careful you have to be one of the advanced traders how to trade stocks like this it's it's a little a little on a tricky side but because of earnings we'll put it on the watch list um bitcoin doing great with bitcoin people like well how I trade bitcoin mare is doing well coinbase I'm very happy about coinbase I'm actually pretty happy average down on that trade and once again we don't preach averaging down but when you swing trade you know sometimes you have an opportunity out there there is you know we talked about this in phase three there are times you have to have no choice but to average down and coinbase was a great average down at 70 I'm pretty happy about it we broke through a major resistance I think 110 is getting close that's going to be nice so if you were in that swing trade with me you know congratulations I'm happy for you but coin back on the list more on the day trading that's a little bit easier mara and riot all going on a watch list they're all on there all right so that's another one's going to keep an eye on space came out it was funny we're talking about space when you in the morning when you a lot of you we hear yesterday we were talking about space in the trading room like my god remember space we were trading where this thing was at and we're like it's down to a dollar 55 crazy isn't it well this is what the key is like I just mentioned earlier this uh Kennedy you just said the same thing just in the cyber group room it's all about discipline being a good trader if you weren't disciplined to take those losses you would have got crushed on that trade coinbase if you remember I trade the IPO on coinbase I'll never forget it uh and I'm just going to bring it up there coinbase was trading at four hundred dollars I'll never forget I bought at four twenty five I took a loss at four hundred you know where it ran to all the way down to thirty four dollars fifty was a really good buy on it I could tell you that but could you imagine all in that stock and riding it down there that's what you call discipline and that's what you call about learning from and let me tell you didn't learn how to lose money in the past you're never gonna know how to learn you know how to protect yourself they're not getting something caught up like this but that was uh you know and that's what happened with space you know listen space we traded it you remember the stock was always in the $60 price range remember that then it dropped all the way down here to 15 and shot up that at 60 just like that as as volatile as that might be just got to know how to remember that there was just so many more stocks out there to trade let's go hop on to AMC so AMC came out earnings this morning AMC got crushed right there 838 came out it's got a lot of support levels here at eight bucks so I'm just going to bring up level four here and show you got going on so this buyer's been out here for 845 it's not a lot and you could see here it's not a lot you got 23,000 and all 23,000 right there um what I'm really impressed you know like interested about if you bring up eight dollars it does got a it's a major support levels right around this 730 so it's going to probably a fun stock to day trade today okay and um you know so we're going to keep a we're going to we're going to have put that stock on our watch list I once again we were talking about AMC I didn't wasn't really completely convinced I'm going to beat earnings anyway but who the hell I know I'm just a day trader right ASTR another one that's looking pretty good on this watch list right here major one concern you got to keep an eye on guy just showed up 100,000 was that 100,000 yeah 108,000 share sellers showed up so big big kryptonite right around a dollar 38 you just showed up right now so let's keep it up you know and you can see it's been having a tough time breaking it ASTR so if we can get past that then we can see the stock could test somewhere right around the buck 90 level one stock 18 million shares you know once again right up around all right so anything we're anything else cyber traders nice very cold wendy on that AFR firm yeah no problem you know what wendy I think good trade on that on that stock and a good call on that too all right let's get ready for the market opened up um don't forget really quick before we go today at 12 o'clock we are having open house if you're watching on social media we are going to do a big event for you just take your phone scan that qr code we have a link up there you can click

ready for the market open up we've got about 15 minutes we'll be back on social media um at 12 o'clock and for everybody in the cyber group room we'll start commentary once the market opens up at 9 30

Railroad Hour - The Pirates of Penzance

09/11/50, episode 102 This episode provided by the Old Time Radio Researchers Group At Yahoo -Video Upload powered by https://www.TunesToTube.com

gIAkMO59BcM

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hours. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the charming Gilbert and Sullivan Comic Opera, the Pirates of Penvance, starring Gordon MacGray and his two guest stars, Clark Dennis and Lucille Norman. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you by the American Railroad. The same railroads that bring you most of the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you burn, and all the other things you use in your daily life. And now here is our star, Gordon MacGray. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Well, sir, we're off to that delightful world of nonsense and charming improbability that was fashioned by Gilbert and Sullivan. I'll be the very model of a modern major general. Clark Dennis will be Frederick, and lovely Lucille Norman will be Mabel, as we bring you the Pirates of Penvance. Have you ever wanted to be a pirate? Well, I have. Quite confidentially, just between you and me, I often lock myself in my study, pull out a wooden cutlass, and sing a rousing pirate song. Oh, better far to live and die play flag, flag, I fly then play a sanctimonious part with a pirate head and a pirate heart way to the teething world go you where pirates all our world to do but I'll be true to the song I sing pirate king I'm a major general, a paragon of respectability and the father of eight daughters, all girls. Meanwhile, off on the rocky coast of Cornwall, some real pirates are having a high old time. One rocky coast of Cornwall, please. Thank you. And now let's hear from a real pirate king. Oh, oh, King of Pirates, Harry Bill, oh, King of Pirates, well, the plenus rises from indenture, bleed from his arm and pirate down with thee. He won and a full-fledged ensign. Pirate king, I thank you, but today I leave you forever. But why, a keener hand never scuttled a canard or a ship-to-hand spike? Whatever that means. I was apprenticed to you, and it was my duty to stay because I am a slave of duty, but it was all an error. An error? What error? I cannot tell you, it would reflect on my nuts. Nay, dear master, better have it out at once. When Frederick was a little lad, he was so brave and daring his father thought he'd friendship him to some career deep-faring. I was a lad, his nursery mate, and so it fell to my lot to take and bind a promising voice of friendship to a pilot. A lad, not bad for a holly lad, so sure did not, to make your boy a pilot. And I did not catch the word, so right through being instructions which within my brain did gyrate. I took and bound this promising voice of friendship to a pilot. A lad, not bad for a holly lad, so sure did not, to make your boy a pilot. They still are, but at midnight my obligation ceases. I must say we haven't much to offer, Fred. We don't seem to make piracy pay. I'm sure I don't know why. It's because you're too tender-hearted. For instance, you make a point of never attacking a weaker party than yourselves, and when you attack a stronger party... We always get thrashed. Then again, you make a point of never molesting an orphan. Of course! We are orphans ourselves. Yes, but it's gotten around. Now everyone we capture says he's an orphan. The last three ships we took were manned entirely by orphans, so we had to let him go. And all I don't think much of our profession either, but contrasted with respectability, it's, um, um, comparatively honest. Meanwhile, my eminence, the very model of a modern major general, accompanied by all eight of my daughters, were off for a picnic. Where? The rocky coast of Cornwall. A beautiful mix of the sky, the glass is striking very high. Can't you find a hope that they are near the bank? But yesterday, tomorrow, it'll be hard. Oh, Father, I just know something exciting is going to happen. Well, it always does about this point in a comic opera. Why don't you girls run down to the seashore and go waiting? We will, Father. It's such a beautiful day. A beautiful mix of the sky, the glass is striking very high. Can't you find a hope that they are near the bank? Shoes off, girls. Drop, ladies. Stop. Don't remove another shoe. Alas, I am a pirate. Ladies, ladies, don't be afraid of me. Tonight, I am renouncing my profession. Oh, how wonderful it is to see you. Up until now, the only woman I have known is my nursemaid. And so I thought all women looked 47. Oh, handsome he is. And how pitiful his story is. Oh, it's one maid. A major general? Yes, gentlemen. Permit me to introduce my son and major general. I've information, vegetable, animal, and mineral. I know the kings of England and I quote the pysistatical for marathon to water, lure, nor a categorical. I'm very well acquainted to with matters mathematical. I understand equation for the simple and for radical. Above, I know milty, and I'm peeming with a lot of views. Now, let's see. What rhymes with news? Maybe needs a new pair of shoes. And, uh, oh, I have it. Very cheerful facts about the spread of the hot news. Very cheerful facts about the differential calculus. I know the scientific names of the very model of a modern major general. I'm ethicist, the reeking of the sense of paradox. I answer hard across the cyber-pity taste for paradox. I quote an illy geeks, all the crimes of peely gavelas. God, I second floor peculiarities for fabulous. I can tell and doubt a rabies, and garros, thousands of themies. I know the poking porous from the frogs of Baristophanes. Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's dinner. Four. We have now. Four. Dinosaur. And whistle all the air, some light and fertile nonsense. Pinnacle rider, washing bill and Babylonic uniform. And tell you every detail of Caracacus's uniform. And short and mad is vegetable, animal and mineral. I am the very model of a modern major general. I have some idea of what's going on. You mustn't do that. This is a picturesque uniform, but I'm not entirely familiar with it. What are you? We are all single gentlemen. Yes, I gathered that. Papa, they are pirates. Now, wait a minute. I object to pirates as sons-in-law. And we object to major generals as the fathers-in-law. Ah, an idea. Gentlemen, have you ever known what it is to be an orphan? No, Dashelaw. Here we go again. Gentlemen, I am an orphan boy. Then our rules protect you. You may be an honorary member of our band. What do you suppose they'll do when they find out? I'm the only orphan in the British Empire who still has a mother and a father. At this time of national crisis, Americans remember that this is not the first Christmas season during which our country has faced a grim and crying future. 173 years ago, General Washington's army encamped at Valley Forge, lacked food and fuel and arms and clothing, lacked almost everything, but tremendous spiritual courage and a strong faith in the righteousness of their cause. And that strong faith in the new ideals of liberty and freedom of opportunity inspired our young nation to win through to final victory. Today, with Christmas only two short weeks away, our country faces another sobering crisis. And as we make our Christmas preparations, we cannot help thinking of the many thousands of heroic men in our armed forces who will not spend Christmas Day with their families. Men who'll spend this important season on the frozen snow-covered battlefields of Korea fighting to preserve the same ideals of freedom and liberty that fired the souls of Washington's army in that winter at Valley Forge. And today, thinking of these men of our armed forces, we know all America is determined that they shall not want for anything we can give them that will strengthen them in their valiant fight against overwhelming odds. The railroads of America are deeply dedicated to the achievement of this goal. They are making full use of all the improvements to their plant and equipment installed since the end of World War II. Since the start of the Korean War, the railroads have greatly expanded and speeded up their program to meet the ever-mounting transportation demands of the country. And for the future, they are determined to provide every rail transportation need of our armed forces, first, fully, and without delay. Starring Gordon Macrae as the Major General, you see a Norman as Mabel. Rick, help me. My poor father is so sad, so unhappy. Major General Stanley, tell me, why do you sigh? My boy, I have escaped from the pirates by lying to them. And when they find out, what will they do? It is midnight and I am no longer a 21st birthday has arrived. I am free to join you as we march against the pirates of Penzance. Are not your national police here to help protect you? Oh, they are indeed. I should call them. You know in America they have an expression for this. All right, Louis, drop the gun. When the foreman bears his steel Tarantara, tarantara We uncomfortable feel Tarantara And we find the wisest thing Tarantara, tarantara To slap a chest and sing Tarantara, we're the mutants. My nursemaid. We have a piece of news for you, my lad. Tell him, Ruth. But you were born on the 29th of February in at least a year. But I have just reached my 21st year. Yes, but you were a predestined was until your 21st birthday, which will occur early in 1980. My goodness. That means I'm about five years old. I don't feel five years old, especially when I look at you, Mabel. Don't go back to the pirates, Frederick. Will you wait for me, Mabel, until 1980? Features of their liberty and all that. Great is any honest To be done, to be done The policeman's lot is not a happy one. Happy one. When the enterprising burglar's not a burgling. Not a burgling. When the cut throat isn't occupied in crime. And listen to the maddie. When the cost has been his jumping on his mother. Asking in the sun. In the sun. Or take one consideration with a happy one. They're sneaking up on us like burglars in the night. Listen. Where will the father be? Take the notice. Frederick has told us of your deceit. You are no orphan. No, but if you kill me, all my daughters will be. I'm sorry. If you kill me, all my daughters will be. Silence. Prepare to die. Now just a minute, King. Just a minute. To gain a brief advantage, you can thrive. But your proud triumph will not be long-lived. Don't say you're orphaned. To Virginia, East, it was Ruth and to our entire company. Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penn's Anse was dramatized for the railroad hour by Lawrence and Glee. You know, back in the days of World War II, I remember what a thrill it was to go home for a visit. And I know thousands of veterans will remember what it meant to save up the dollars for that trip. That's why it's good to hear that this year the railroads are again offering special reduced rates for military personnel traveling on leave during the Christmas holidays. From December 15th until January 15th, our men in uniform can make a round trip in railroad coaches for about two cents a mile. And now here again are our guests, Norman and Clark Dennis. Well, it was a real pleasure doing Gilbert and Sullivan with Norman and Dennis. Hi, it was fun, Gordon. Tell me something, Gordon. Is there really a place called Penn's Anse? Well, there certainly is, Clark. It's a famous British seaside resort. It's, well, it's like saying the Pirates of Palm Springs or the Pirates of Pismo Beach. Where are you heading next week, Major? Well, Bonnie Lass will head into Scotland for the magic of the lovely musical hit Brigadoom. And Mary and Bell and say, looky here, Clark Dennis will be our guest. Well, we'll be listening. Well, what am I saying? I'll be here. Good night, Gordon. Good night, folks. All aboard. Well, sir, it looks as though we're ready to pull out. And so until next week, goodbye. The Penn's Anse was presented by special arrangement with the Tams Whitmark Music Library. Gordon McRae can be seen starring in the Warner Bros. production, The West Point Story. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. This is Marvin Miller saying goodbye until next week for the American Railroad. And I'll keep you into your Monday night...

Now, talking health, Niger's 2021 cholera outbreak peaked up steam in July with 451 fatalities in 13 states recorded by the NCDC. The list of states with fatalities shows a strong correlation with the SBM Health Preparedness Index published in May 2021. Only two of the 13 states with cholera outbreaks, that's Bayousa and Kogi, were in the top half of SBM's HPI, while 11 of the bottom 18 states have seen fatalities during the outbreak. Only one of the affected state is in the southern part of the country. Zamfara is the only state in the northwest not affected by the outbreak. Cholera is primarily a disease of hygiene, so this chart shows the amount of work that the state health authorities still need to do in this state to ensure their citizens do not die of preventable causes. Joining us live is Dr. Akeem Masibong, a senior analyst at the SBM Intelligence. Many thanks for joining us on Tlossny's update. Hi, good afternoon. Thank you for having me. You're welcome. Sometime in May this year, your organization released a publication on this case of cholera in Nigeria. So far, it detailed that the states who were susceptible to all of this, how come after the reports have not much was done and we have an outbreak in our hands in Nigeria? So typically what you have with our health preparedness index is that it is a look at the recent past. We take into consideration a number of factors, including things like doctor to population ratio, expenditure on health care, maternal and child mortality in the 36 states of the federation, along with the federal capital territory. What the index shows us, along with other variables, of course, is the states who are more prepared than other states which regard to primary health care especially and primary health care typically entails things like immunization and basic hygiene. And as you rightly said, the issue of the cholera outbreak is something that directly goes to issues of hygiene. And as such, it is no surprise to us because we prepared the index. It's no surprise to us that these states are found most likely. All right. It is sad to note that about 451 fatalities where we call that in 13th state, you know, July with 40, as in July rather with 451 cases, but the question right now is that cholera is not a new case in Nigeria. What does these tell about our public health care delivery in the country? It doesn't tell a good story at all, especially at local government level and state level. Typically what you have is you have local health authorities ensuring that certain standards of hygiene are kept across and the entire state. Now when you have a cholera outbreak, it means that these basic health standards are not being met and are not being enforced. And as such, you know, the states in the states that have these fatalities, especially states like Kano and even states like the FCT, you know, interestingly enough, really have to look very closely at how the local health authorities in those states ensure that basic health standards are kept, not just in homes, but also in businesses and the way they handle food and the sources of water from which they draw to do their various tasks. All of these things are issues that need to be looked at closely. And the fact that we are still having cholera outbreaks in Nigeria that are typically associated with war zones, I might add, because of the issue of sanitation, really tells you all you need to know about just how far we have to go, particularly at local level, local government and state level. That's water and sanitation health. Most times countries who have issues with war or war-torn countries are usually the ones that are basically affected by that of cholera. So what would you say is the reason for the rise in cases in Nigeria? Is it that the average Nigerian lacks some portable or access to portable water, or just the very fact that the insurgency and banditry have actually increased in this northern part of the country? Yeah, so I think that typically you will find that the answer is a combination of those factors. Of course, the issue of portable water has always been something that has dominated this course regarding healthcare delivery. And also, like you rightly note, there have been growing issues of insecurity across the north, especially in the northwest, particularly in the last 18 months. But minus that, you also have under investments in the healthcare sector that we have also been catching as well. So we bring all these things together. It is tailor-made for the kind of periodic outbreaks that you see in our states, and this one in particular seems pretty severe. All right, another final note as we wrap up now. Nigeria is having new cases of the Delta variant that is COVID-19. And of course, we also have the prevalence of cholera. So what would the advice to the government be at this critical time? I think I would direct my advice really to the federal and state governments. And state governments. The federal government, particularly with regard to issues of cholera, don't, are not the first people to speak to when you have these kinds of outbreaks. It is the state governments that you need to speak to. And the local health authorities as well, the local government. So what I would tell them together is that, particularly with regard to COVID-19, for example, is all of those mass gatherings that they typically have should be downplayed for now. Nigeria has just taken delivery of additional vaccines. So ideally, these vaccines should go into the arms of people who are here to receive them. And then also, with regard to issues of cholera as well, really, really look closely at where people get water from and basic hygiene and the basic hygiene facilities that they use. All right, thank you so much for your time. Indeed, we have been speaking on the issue of a rise in cases of cholera outbreak in Nigeria. And of course, that of COVID-19 and the strike of them by the National Association of Resident Doctors. Thank you so much, Joakim, for your time. I do appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Hello.

And this ain't even full of guard anymore. This is vegetable ratatouille. Man, wow. For decades, New York City was considered a Vietnamese food desert. I personally enjoyed the mom-and-pop shops here, but the foodies have always said that Houston, San Jose, O.C. and Philly were at least 10 times better at pho and everything else. But in the past three years, there has been a huge push by Vietnamese chefs in NYC to change all that. Do these progressive spots live up to the hype? We find out if modern Vietnamese cuisine is here to stay. What's going on, everybody? Welcome to a very special, modern Vietnamese episode of Fun Bro's Foodander. In the past five years, I would say a New York City Vietnamese food maybe went from like a three out of 10 on Vietnamese food to a six out of 10. And one of the coolest things about this whole Vietnamese food boom is that all the restaurants are doing something a little bit different. Some of them are doing their own personal take on Vietnamese dishes. Some of them are doing regional dishes and some of them are even taking concepts that are popular in Vietnam right now and serving them to people here in America. Which leads us to our very first spot today, M Vietnamese. And they are doing something very interesting here, Andrew. They directly ported a Saturday night out restaurant from Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon to Dumbo, Brooklyn. This is a 2021 modern day direct port from Ho Chi Minh City. Let's go. What are we looking at? So these are Saigon butter clams. This is something that you must get when you go to Vietnam. So this is like a drinking going out food. Yes, yes. In Vietnam, you can make this with snails, mussels, any kind of shellfish. So this is one of our signature dishes, Baal Khao. It's like beef, broganon, Vietnamese style. My parents left Vietnam in the 1970s. This is something that just happened like last 10 or 15 years. This is kanji. Kanji is eaten in so many Asian countries and of course Vietnam is no exception. We decided to go with sea scowls. We found a really great supplier and we were actually inspired when we went to Maine. We bought some sushi-grade sea scowls but my wife doesn't like to eat raw fish too much so she decided to put in kanji and it was just fire. You're trying to bring stuff that's popular in Vietnam today. Yes, yes. This is why young people in Vietnam are eating right now. All right, you guys, you're looking at round one here at M. Vietnamese Bistro. Andrew, Pat was insistent. He told me that this is gonna be very similar to food that I would get if I went to Vietnam right now to go watch the Saigon heat and play in the VBL. The butter clams, we've got the scallop chowl, we've got fried vegan tofu with perilla leaves which, you know, more commonly associated with Korean food but they usually eat them as well all over Asia. And one of my favorite dishes of all time, it is the bowl call. This is the Vietnamese beef stew. This one's looking really thick, almost like curry. Saigon clams. Man. Hey! Wow. Just how he described it, it's like a buttery, sweet, nook mom flavor. Give this a six out of five. You know, you've had clams before but you haven't had them like this. You gotta get these. Yo, I'ma give that, unequivocally guys, a five out of five, the stew bowl call. What I really like about this one, it's very, very thick. It has like this hint of lemongrass and ginger. This is delicious, man, and I love the thickness of the bowl call stew. All right, moving on to another very, very authentic dish. We got the scallop congee. Asians love congee. Scallop congee. Chow. Yo, Pep, isn't chow like the same word for a saying like good morning or hello? It's a different tone, but it's very similar. Good morning is chow busang. Eat chow during chow busang? You know, it's really good. Scallops fit perfectly with that name. Okay, here we have the tofu wrapped in a perilla leaf dipped in the green sauce. No, the sauce is good. As someone who eats a lot of Asian food, I thought I had tofu like every single way I possibly could have had it. That's a new way in my spectrum. Lemon grass clams. The clams are amazing here. Some of the best clams I ever had in my entire life. Yeah, I actually feel like even the broth you could drink this, I don't know, with you're sick or you're hungover. It's almost like a soup on its own. All right, here we got the coconut mussels. Some of these seafood dishes do kind of crossover a little bit with like Thai dishes because it has like the coconut milk, but there's a few elements that are different such as the use of ginger-like lemon grass type. And less galangal. It's kind of sweet. It still has some of that buttery nook mom flavor right here. All right, you guys, it is going crazy right now. We have the dry houtteal right here. You know some influence from the Chiljiao immigrants that sort of spread across Southeast Asia? I have the pho, and this is like, you could tell the quality of beef. You can see the grain there. You can see the fattiness. It's falling apart. All right, I'm gonna go ahead and give this dry houtteal a five out of five. This, some of the clam dishes, absolute bangers here at MV Enemies. All I can tell you is that any pho that is leaving the green onion piece in there like that, that's when you know it's the real deal. Also, you can kind of see that it is a little bit of fattiness on the top, but that is what I like to see from the pho broth. They have a soft boiled egg in the dry houtteal. I'm telling you, to be honest, at least at the point I'm at in 2021, I'd probably take this over any superman I had. If you guys have not tried houtteal before, you got to check it out. All right, you guys, we are wrapping up here at MV Enemies Bistro. Honestly, the food was amazing. You follow us on Instagram. You will find us coming back here again. We're doing what we call MV Enemies Tapas, just to keep it simple. It's a lot of seafood dishes that MV Enemies people would have late night, on a Friday night, Saturday night. This is what you're doing with your boys when you're getting some drinks. Your wife is the main chef here, right? And she came like, she's like, it's from Vietnam. She came here four years ago. This is actually food that we ate on our second date. My first time having food like this. It's not something my parents grew up eating, but this is what young people do. Right, right, because you're right. It's almost like the evolution of cuisine, but a lot of times your parents, when they immigrate, they left like a different Vietnam or a different mothering. Right, that was like 50 years ago. Where do you guys get your inspiration from? Are you guys keeping up with social media? My wife is Vietnamese, Vietnamese. So she, all of her Instagram is all on Vietnamese, all her YouTube follows, they're all on Vietnamese. So she's up to date with all the latest viral trends over there, whether it's food, fashion, whatever. What's the response from the local community been like? Because I would imagine for a lot of people, especially in this local Dumbbell region, they've never been exposed to anything authentically, authentically Vietnamese. There's some people that have never even even had Vietnamese before. Hey, well, best of luck Pat. I think you got a great product. You got a great team here. Check it out, on to the next spot. Our next concept for modern Vietnamese 2021 in New York City is Van Dye. Now Van Dye, Andrew, is really, really interesting. They have a short rib grilled cheese sandwich. Here we have the Bun Sao. Okay, and this is not in the traditional half moon Bun Sao. This is like almost individual little taco shell side. Here's the interesting thing about Van Dye. Yes, the chefs are Asian, one of them's Vietnamese, one of them's Chinese. You know, Michelin recognized, maybe not Michelin star, but you know, they're fancy chefs. So they're gonna be tying in a lot of like French and high-end cuisine and techniques into their food. Oftentimes this will have pork in it, but this one just has mung beans. So this is vegetarian. What do you think? This dipping sauce is actually really spicy. I would say I liked it. This is a take on one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes, Bun Sao. It's pretty good, guys. I'm gonna go ahead and give the Bun Sao a five out of five. That Bun Sao was very silky, very milky, had a lot of coconut flavor. They did a good job, man. Bub, beef, short rib, grilled cheese. You know what, man? I'm gonna become the cameraman. I need Dan Chang from behind the camera to come try this. What do you think? Good, good, good. Give me your honest opinion. At a price point of $13 for like a quarter of a sandwich, I would say you could skip this one. Last but not least, Andrew, what are we looking here at Vanda? David, we're looking at a turmeric dill brandzino fish. Now this is their version of, excuse my pronunciation, the cha ka tang long. This is a turmeric dill fish dish you love. I love this dish. I love this dish, but a lot of people get it wrong. Cha ka with brandzino. Comparing it to other versions of this dish I've had that work definitely cheaper. I gotta say the quality here is killing it. I've got a lot of versions of cha ka and LA that I love for like $13. This one's about 26. Honestly, I could see it being worth it. All right, I'll tell you this. For the dishes that we had today, and you know, of course we know it's a little pricey, but the ones I would come back and get again are the Bun Sao and the brandzino fish, for sure. I really like this Bun Sao. I really like this brandzino cha ka. All right guys, our next modern Vietnamese spot is Hanoi House over in the East Village. David, this spot's pretty interesting because this is what you get when you have like people from the hospitality groups that have also done like kind of nightlife party restaurants. And then now they're doing a more authentic Asian concept. As you're talking about like hakasam, budakon, nobu, but those are Japanese and Chinese concepts. And it's sort of those people from that world coming in doing a Vietnamese concept. Immediately, I think the thing that you've noticed is the presence obviously of the Chinese donut, the yautiu. And then you have bone marrow here. You're gonna scoop the bone marrow into the broth to make it thick. Here you have your bo lut lot, which is going to be your beetle leaf wrapped beef, but this is made with lamb. And then you have your nem nun. Usually looks a lot more pink, but this kind of looks more of the color of spam. So I'm interested to try this. David, let's go into the pho. Hanoi style pho with the bone marrow and Chinese donut. You know what I noticed immediately, Andrew, is that there's less flavors, but those flavors hit harder. One thing I noticed about this northern pho is that there's less ginger in it. And I actually think that might be driven by the fact that most of the people who eat here are not Asian, because I feel like this broth to me, it tastes almost like a French beef broth. All right, so coming in at $25, I am not going to lie that it's pretty expensive for pho, but the beef quality is really good. It comes with the Chinese donut and it comes with the bone marrow. If you can shell it out, it's something that I would recommend you try. All right, so this is actually the classic Vietnamese dish, bo la la. I might be saying it wrong, sorry, guys. And it's usually made with beef or pork, wrapped in beetle leaf with some vermicelli noodles, and obviously your garnish is here, but here they're doing it with lamb, bo la la. Oh, that's interesting with the lamb, wow. I think it's really interesting having it be made out of lamb because in New York, when you eat lamb, you often associate that with Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food. So it kind of does feel like a fusion. I know that maybe they do use lamb in Vietnam, but I know that lamb is not a popular meat to use in Vietnam, so this might be more of the fusion side. Another thing they're really known for here is their spring rolls. I don't know if this is a num num or not. I know that this is not just due to the dipping sauce, so it's almost a hybrid. The food here is so difficult to describe because I know that the basis is authentic, the original chef, you know, was from the OC, but they've also done a few twists and turns here, not only it being Hanoi, but it being owned by non-Asians, primarily for non-Asians. I think really here, what they're trying to do is just show you a different type of Vietnamese food that you're not used to having. And all in all, Hanoi House is good. It is on the higher end of the price, of course, but quality-wise, it's up there. All right, you guys, next up, we're at Beau Cafe, which is headed by a French chef from France, from Paris, but he's always been cooking Vietnamese food. I mean, you've got a Bau eggs benedict with a papaya salad on the side, and then you've got a Bau burger with taro fries, and then of course you've got a chicken frau that almost resembles a French chicken noodle soup, but with zucchini noodles. Here you have a egg quiche banh mi. David, this is like modern French cafe food mixed with Vietnamese and some other Southeast Asian elements, but it's all just wrapped up in like the most fashionable part of town. As you can see, everybody here looks like they spent at least 40 minutes thinking about their outfit today. I think the people want to know how this tastes because what am I looking at? I'm going to go with the Bau eggs benedict with the salmon here. Obviously, eggs benedict is probably called a benedict. Bau's egg benedict. zucchini noodles, chicken frau. And I like what Pierre is doing here. You know, so this was actually a really good chicken stew, but it did not taste like frau got at all. Aside from that, if I just took it out of that context, I did enjoy it. No, this is something I really love, Andrew. This is a Bau burger. I just had the Bau's egg benedict. And then I've got these taro fries right here. This is good. This is a five out of five. Meatless quiche banh mi. I'm going to dip it into a little sauce here. Probably some type of sriracha mayo. Not very Vietnamese tasting, but I like it. I would say the food here was like 60% French, 40% Vietnamese. This feels like a really cool spot in Paris. You know, for me, this might sound crazy, Andrew. I enjoyed this more than Hanoi House. I eat a ton of authentic Vietnamese food that's cheap. Hanoi House, by all means, is good, but it's authentic Vietnamese food with a slight twist that's expensive. This is just straight Parisian fusion Viet. And this ain't even full of God anymore. This is Vistabouf ratatouille. Good, but check your expectations at the door. Andrew, you pointed out that behind us, there was a large family of French-speaking Viet's most likely from Paris. Hey, I'll tell you this. If you're a tourist and you don't want to leave Soho, but you want some, you know, Southeast Asian Vietnamese vibes, this is a spot. After touring all the new spots, I think it's pretty fair to say that NYC-elevated Vietnamese might become its own genre. I think that other cities might still be the best at the down-home bar and grill style that may or may not be your preference. But if you love elevated settings with Michelin star-trained chefs, then NYC might be becoming the number one spot in America. And I think with the way that global food trends are going, it definitely has staying power.

The years of the French foreign legion pass in review in honor of the American forces traditional uniform of the legionnaires. This is the graph December 7th, 1942 at CD Bell Abbey and the Governor's Palace at Algiers. This is on the left. Mr. Robert Murphy, United States Minister to North Africa. Ships are known as tank landing craft. They are specially constructed for transporting armored vehicles and are highly maneuverable. In the background, the city of Algiers looks down on the harbor. With its slight superstructure and lack of silhouettes, the tank landing craft is less vulnerable as a target. The black band around the waist of each soldier is a self-inflating life preserver. Needlework. Eastward through the Mediterranean, escorted by British men of war. The seaport nearest enemy-held territory. 30 caliber and 50 caliber machine guns. The ports in Sicily and their only an hour long spell in the city. This is a Dornier. Nazi planes shot down against a loss of four of our own. No important installations were hit and our tank convoy suffered no casualties. Whenever the general grants come to a halt, camouflage is the first order. The difference between a good and bad job may very easily be the difference between life and death. Bedded down for the night. Pushing their mission and marching 30 miles overland in full pack under a hot African sun. The open is of primary importance. French soldiers guard all roads, bridges and strategic points. They better make sure, but repeatedly machine gunned it from a low level. To provide poultry and green vegetables. 100 kilometers is rock Tunisian frontier. Where there are no fixed lines and the positions change from hour to hour. The battle area. Tunis. Toborba. Medges Elban. The battle will be fought here. There are no set fortifications or clearly defined opposing lines. A Nazi Panzer division has advanced westward from Tunis. Our columns have come up the valley from Medges Elban. Our attack will consist of a series of lunges against the armored spirit of the Panzer division. The sun comes out. Our armored vehicles move toward the forward positions. This is an American light tank used both for fighting and scouting. Gates move ahead of the advancing forces. American half tracks follow on reconnaissance. He has been sighted over the hill to the left of the picture. British 25 pounders open up. Supply down for an enemy ammunition carrier. This type of mobile warfare, there are no trenches. No large concentrations of infantry. The dole boys are spread out from miles behind every tree and shrub. Ready to strike the enemy or repel infiltration. Dual battlefield. Germans on the left, Americans on the right. A British ammunition lorry is hit. Overlooking the battlefield. The cameraman is actually nearer the German lines than his own. Marks on the rear of the German tanks. This is to avoid attack from their own aircraft. Ten German tanks in the spearhead, five on the field, and five concealed under the brow of the hill in floor ground. The tank in the background is stalled. Its crew is still using the machine guns. The civil Nazi on the left side of the screen carries the white flag of surrender. These prisoners are veteran members of the Afrika Korps. These are Americans, boys from your town and my town. They have fought today in a strange country for a remote little valley on the road to Tunis. And they have fought well. This is an important victory, not because of its strategic value, not because of its military importance, but for an altogether different reason. This morning, when the battle began, this valley was a conquered valley in the hands of the enemy. Tonight, it is a free valley.

Hey, psychedogores, would you consider yourself a workaholic? Do you have a tendency to push yourself to your limits? Have you been feeling lately like it's hard to keep up with yourself? For high achievers, burnout is one of the speed bumps in life that you should be wary of. Burnout is a term coined by psychologist Herbert Freudenberger in the 1970s and is described as a severe stress condition that leads to severe physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. To help better understand this condition, in this video, we'll be looking at seven signs you're dealing with burnout. Number one, you are emotionally exhausted. Have you ever felt that you're at your limit, that it's extremely hard to keep on working, even in small amounts? According to Scott and Gans in 2020, burnout can lead to lethargic feelings, an inability to cope with stress, and an overall feeling that you are emotionally drained. When you're emotionally exhausted, you may feel powerless and have no control over what happens in your life. You may feel that you're stuck in a situation and have little energy to keep going or get out of it. Number two, you are isolated from others. Have you noticed that you're turning down invitations to events that you'd normally be excited about, or perhaps you're not returning messages as quickly as you normally would? This can be a sign of burnout. Dr. Carter in 2013 states that in the early stages of burnout, you might isolate yourself more and find social interactions are more difficult. You might find that people get on your nerves more than usual, and that you find ways to avoid interacting with others at work or school. Number three, you have escape fantasies. When you're at work or school, do you find yourself wishing that you were somewhere else, preferably away from your job or school? Dealing with high amounts of stress for an extended period of time can make it hard to concentrate on the task at hand. It can be easier and more fun to think about going on vacation or even going back to bed. At worst, some people dealing with burnout may desire drugs or alcohol to escape their negative feelings, which can lead to abuse issues. In any case, doing anything else can seem more exciting than working. Number four, your performance is suffering. Dealing with burnout can also affect the quality of your work. Do you find that your letting mistakes slip through the cracks more so than normal? Is it hard to care if something is perfect or not? Is it hard just to start something, let alone finish it? Having stressors in your life, like taking care of an ill family member or working long hours, can make it hard to put a lot of effort into your work. When you have little time for self-care or to focus on other things, it can make it harder over time to keep up with your usual performance. Similar to how athletes need to rest after practice, you need to rest as well to recuperate. Number five, you don't feel well. Have you ever wondered why you still feel tired despite sleeping well or having a day off? Do you experience stomach problems or other types of unexplained pain? Have you noticed that you seem to get sick more often than before? Dealing with high amounts of stress can weaken your immune system, so it's easier to get sick. Additionally, stress can affect other aspects of your physical health, causing you to feel pain and tiredness that can't be explained by anything else. Fraga and Leg in 2019 stated that burnout can deplete your energy and in turn weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to infection. Apart from that, burnout can increase feelings of depression and anxiety, along with other mental health issues. As burnout progresses, small stressors may become much bigger problems and affect your ability to perform. Number six, you're more pessimistic. Burnout may lead to a pessimistic attitude in which you may adopt a glass half empty mindset. Are you finding yourself feeling more down on the world? Do you find it harder and harder to stay positive? One may be so engrossed with negative thinking that at its later stages, the pessimism may advance beyond how you feel about yourself, causing you to mistrust people that are close to you. You may feel that you can't count on anyone, even yourself. And number seven, you're more irritable. Are you finding yourself more on edge with other people? Do others seem to constantly get on your nerves? Dr. Carter in 2013 states that irritability often originates from feeling worthless, unproductive, and a growing perception that you're not able to do things as productively or effectively as you once did. At first, your personal and professional relationships may be affected. However, in its later stages, it can severely interfere with people in your life. Stress may be inevitable, but burnout is preventable, making lifestyle choices to help manage stress like exercising, eating a balanced diet, working on your self-care routine, et cetera, can go a long way in balancing your lifestyle. If you find that you are struggling beyond this, it's important to check in with a mental health professional or a healthcare provider for advice. Let us know your thoughts on the topic.

Hello, everybody, and welcome to another episode, the broadcast of the podcast of This Week in Science. We are recording live, which happens every Wednesday at 8 p.m. Pacific time. And so you're watching the live unfold filtered version of this program. If you want all the editing and the cleaned up version, then make sure you subscribe to the podcast and that will be neatly edited for you by our wonderful Rachel. Yeah, go away and come back later. I'm just kidding. Hang out. It's fun. This is the real thing. This is the real deal, everybody. Warts and all. We're here to talk about science for the next 90 minutes. No, no, no. And I'm hoping, fingers crossed, that my internet is all fixed and ready for tonight. So everything, there's been a lot of work in this new place. Making things go. Is everyone ready for the show? Perhaps. Okay, there's at least that's in the positive realm of possibility. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. Okay, so we are beginning the show in three, two, this is Twist. This week in Science, episode number 894, recorded on Wednesday, September 28th, 2022. This week in Science of the Future. Hey everyone, I'm Dr. Kiki and tonight on the show, we will fill your heads with coffee, chromosomes, and Dr. Steven Novella, but first. Disclaimer, disclaimer, disclaimer. Nature is a beast. One that we often assume has long been tamed. Man versus nature, a mere trope of ancient storytelling. We know that nature has not actually been tamed, but it is better understood. While nature is still a beast, the brunt of the beast is avoidable. We know when and where severe weather will strike. The disasters of nature are therefore now man-made. Building in the path of hurricanes or tornadoes or earthquake-prone places is our doing, not nature's. Scientists have warned us. The methods we have relied on to fuel our economies, our cars, our homes, and our agriculture have consequences. Science has even given us the tools to predict storms to track them, to give us time to act, to engineer, and to evacuate. And as a fierce hurricane hits Florida again, millions are fleeing ahead of the danger and millions are still there seeking higher ground out of the storm's path. We hope that they are able to stay safe. Avoid the immediate danger and when conditions change for the better, when the storm has passed, reflect on a future where such events become more common, not less, more destructive, not less. And heed the warnings of science to mitigate the outcomes of future extreme weather and the best way to keep updates, keep yourself updated on the future. This week in Science, coming up next. ["Science"] Got the kind of mind that can't get enough. I wanna learn everything. I wanna fill it all up with new discoveries that happen every day of the week. There's only one place to go to find the knowledge I seek, I wanna know. See you to Justin Blair and everyone out there. Welcome, welcome, welcome to another episode of This Week in Science. We are back again to talk all about the world of science. And this week we do have a special guest with us, Dr. Steven Novella. Welcome. Hey everyone, thanks for having me. We're so glad to have you on the show. And as usual, you know, we're gonna talk about science and Dr. Novella has been kind enough to talk with us about some science for a little bit, but we're also gonna talk about a new book that he has coming out that he's written with his brothers. The Skeptics. Those of the Skeptics guide to the universe, you may have heard of it once or twice upon the internet. Anyhow. Oh, it's the one that says on the cover in bold letters that says panic. The other, it's the compliment to the hitchhikers. Right. On the show, I've got a bunch of stories to start out with. We've got stories. I have stories about chromosomal fluidity, epigenetics, and a reason to get outside. We'll talk about that at the end of the show. What do you have for us, Justin? What do I have? I have one of those studies that says coffee is good for you. But this time they did the study on, wait for it, humans, which makes a big difference when you're looking for something that can actually help humans. Also, we got, yeah, not a mice study this time, which is the usual. We've got a Just Good News segment, Bird Population Edition. Mercury is in the news, the planet, but also Mercury is in the news in my ancient mind civilization this week. This all sounds very exciting. As well as, waitest. As what? Oh, we have a terrible delay. I can tell we have a delay because my usual ability to talk over people is going the other direction. It is. And then if we have time, if we have time, there's a study that shows that being social improves your longevity at the molecular level. That's why I love doing twists. Blair, what is in the animal corner? I have female fruit flies fighting it out and whale brains. And before that, we're gonna talk a little bit about your dog or cats, medications. What medications? Okay, yes, let's have that conversation in just a moment because first I wanna tell you that as we jump into the show, you can always find us anywhere good podcasts are found. We're on all the majors. Look for this week in science. You can also find us when we broadcast live weekly on Facebook, Twitch and YouTube. Look for us as Twist Science on Twitch, Twitter and Instagram. If all this is just a lot, go to twist.org where you can find all this information, show notes and more. That's our website, it holds all the stuff. But now, it is time for the science. All right, we can't let this show get started without diving into the very number one thing on people's tweets this week, NASA's bullseye with the dart mission, hitting dimorphus, the moonlet of Didymus. They did it. They ran a little craft into an asteroid moonlet and we knew they'd do it because they've put stuff on asteroid moonlets before. They've done this, we've done this, it's okay. We hit it pretty hard and there's a little CubeSat from Italy that's been following along behind going, I'm gonna take pictures and so they got some really great pictures of a bunch of dust being blown off the surface. There are also more high resolution images that have come out as a result of this impact, but the big question still remains. Aside from impacting and causing a lot of smoke, not smoke, dust to be ejected off of the surface of this little moonlet, did it move it at all? Because that's the point. For planetary defense, you're not just sticking a dart in something, you actually potentially want to move an asteroid or other object that is hurtling toward Earth off course. Yeah. So did it make the corner pocket? Exactly. Did we bounce it? And that information is yet to come. Did you all watch it? They made it live. They had a great, great. I will say it is the first asteroid that I have ever seen or meteor, whatever, meteor, it's asteroid because this was first one I've ever seen that looks like an asteroid. All the rest of them, you get the photos and you're like, that's not what an asteroid is supposed to look like. That's not the, not even close to the picture I had in my head. This one actually looks like they got it out of central casting and yeah, it's pretty. And I do, I'm putting up on screen right now. If anybody wants to search for NASA Dart on Google, let's see if I can actually make it work. It is a pretty fun little animation that they've created, a little Easter egg from Google related to the Dart mission. It's kind of fun. And then in other news, beyond NASA, as you're still looking at my screen here, we also have fluid chromosomes. Who knew, fluid chromosomes? What does that even mean? Well, researchers have always wondered about the solidity of the chromosomes within the nucleus of our cells. Chromosomes are the little bundles of DNA that go about making the proteins that allow us to function, that make all the things that we are. Well, there's been an idea from previous experimentation that the chromosomes and the interior of the nucleus are kind of like a gel, like they're a jelly substance. Well, some researchers from MIT and CNRS, the Curie Institute and the Sorbonne have found a pretty interesting result by putting little nano magnets into chromosomes and then by using very small cellular level forces to see how the chromosomes reacted. And so they were able to use these very, very small, the kind of forces that would happen if an enzyme were coming upon the start codon in a piece of DNA, in a gene to start it activating. Or if an enzyme were coming around to unwind a histone and to allow access to the cell, the chromosomes move. And so the movements, this is published in the journal Science This Week, the movements have been described as almost liquid, liquid-like or fluid-like in nature. And so the result of these forces that are naturally exerted by the nucleus allow us to now imagine chromosomes as a more liquid-like structure as opposed to more solid. More liquid-like, but not fully liquid-like, not like, not water, right? So more oob-like light is like, is what it sounds like. A little bit more. So what I did when I did my interpretive dance as my thesis for studying chromosomes, and it got rejected. I need to now dust off the moves and bring it back because it was all fluid movements. It was in water. You were like a merman. It's not like Jell-O. No, it's not like Jell-O. It's no longer going to be considered gel-like. It's more like a liquid. Like the, yeah, because I don't know. Anyway, the researchers say ultimately these measurements allow a deeper understanding of how genomic elements can move under active biological forces and provide a basis for developing new physical models of chromosomes. And so the take-home message in all of this is that once we can understand how chromosomes move and how they interact with other parts of the cells, we can potentially understand how to manipulate those things better. There are lots of things that we can learn. How does it work? What can we do with it? Can we, if we can understand the forces that work and how the chromosomes react, can we use it for medical treatments? What do you think, Steven? Well, we're talking about when the, not when the chromosomes are all bound up tight. You know, you do a karyotype and you see like the little Xs that touch your, the chromosome all wound up as tight as it can be. But most of the time, the chromosomes have to be active, right? I mean, they need to be reproducing themselves and sending out the messenger RNA to outside the nucleus. So yeah, I mean, they have to, they have to unwind. And then, and if they're unwound, it's just like a really tiny thin string. Yes. So yeah, you would expect, and they're just floating in jelly. And it flows around. So it's like putting string in hair gel. I'm gonna poke at it. Yeah, just like it. But like a really more liquid hair gel. Okay. Got it. Yeah. Got it. Just, you know, imagine different ways of imagining the chromosomes. All right. I know Steven's up late tonight. So he may have had coffee. I don't know if he drinks coffee. I don't think so, but Justin tell us how coffee can be good for us. And not for us. Yeah, I can do the coffee story to start off with. So we normally don't do a whole lot of these. This new thing says it can be good for you because 12 people ate chocolate and none of them got into car accidents or whatever, right? I feel like it's always coffee, it's chocolate and it's red wine. Are the ones that are like, it's good for you, it's bad for you. It's good for you, it's bad for you. It's what you're consuming watching daytime television is what's good for you. Right. But this was a decaffeinated ground and instant coffee. We're tested two to three cups a day were associated with significant reductions and incidences of cardiovascular disease, so like strokes and that kind of thing and mortality that was linked to it as well as some heart arrhythmias too, which I thought was interesting for the ground. More heart arrhythmias? Less. Less. Less. Only for the caffeinated coffee. For the decaffeinated coffee. You would think it would be the other direction. Right. So, because part of the thing is you have coffee and we think, oh, that's how I get my caffeine delivered. But there's all sorts of other stuff in there that's compounds that are working. But the decaffeinated coffee, which was associated with the reduction of cardiovascular disease, was not associated with a reduction in heart arrhythmias. So, keep in mind though that again, these studies were based on humans, so if your mouse results may not correlate. The study by the Baker Heart and Diabetes Research Institute in Australia, published in the European General Preventative Cardiology, included 449,563 participants who were free of arrhythmia or cardiovascular disease at the beginning of the study, which was some 12, starting where they collected these folks data, starting in the mid 2000s. In the 2009, something like this, 2008, somewhere in that area. So, awesome sample size though. Participants were also pretty equal, male versus female. Average age was in the 50s. Participants completed a questionnaire asking how much coffee they drank, what kind of coffee they drank, or if they drank, you know, they could maybe drink none. And then they also got separated into how much coffee they would drink on a daily basis. The majority of the intake was instant coffee. What? Yeah. Definitely a European thing. This is a whole, right? A lot more instant coffee. Yes. This is a whole interesting thing that we did enough to talk about. Like, why are the Australians drinking so much instant? That's 44% were drinking the instant. Ground was only 18.4%, which that's... Yeah, when I lived in Israel, it was only, only, only instant coffee and Turkish coffee. You had to find like a special store that would sell Americano coffee if you wanted a drip coffee. That's wild. Yeah. That's wild. So anyway, and then 15% were decaffeinated, 22% were non-coffee drinkers and they served as sort of the control group for the just looking at the coffee thing. So they followed up about 12 years later. Cardiovascular disease was diagnosed in that timeframe and 9.6% of the participants during the follow-up, again, these are people who are median age is, I think 58, something like that. So they're getting into that range where heart disease starts to show up. All coffee subtypes were associated with the reduction in incidents of cardiovascular disease. The lowest risk was observed with two to three cups a day. When compared to the non-coffee drinkers, it was a 20% reduced likelihood of cardiovascular disease from the ground coffee drinkers. Only 6% lower risk for decaf, 9% lower risk for incident coffee drinkers. So there's something wrong with the decaf. I wouldn't even, something that's not right about it. Heart arrhythmia, diagnosed in 6.7% of the participants during that follow-up period, ground and instant coffee, but not decaffeinated were associated with the reduction as we were talking about. Again, ground coffee, two to three cups a day was like the best reduction, 17% lower risk of heart arrhythmias, 12% for instant. So while the study shows that coffee can extend longevity by lowering other health risks related to the heart, it should be noted that if they continue to attract participants in these 12-year increments, every study is based on sort of the timeframe that you look at that and things can change outside of that narrow window, is expected if they continue these 12-year increments in a couple of studies down the road, all of the participants are expected to die of something. That's usually the case, eventually. So for the couple. Life results in death. So, but this is, I mean, this is an observational study which is how you get the hundreds of thousands of people. That's the advantage of this kind of study. You do tons and tons of people so you get a lot of statistical significance. However, you can't make causal claims from this kind of data. No. Let's say people who have heart disease think they're not supposed to drink coffee so they don't drink coffee and they're especially not supposed to drink the coffee with caffeine. So that could be that people are avoiding those things because they have the disease. They don't avoid the disease because they're drinking the coffee. I suspect there's so many coffee studies, like I said, in chocolate and wine. It's always these observational studies or so many confounding factors. I personally don't think you can make any kind of like causal claim from this kind of data. Saying like, if you drink coffee, you'll be healthier and you can't say that from this data. Right, true. But however, and I would, I totally agree with you and I would get rid of the control group of the non-coffee drinkers then. Because that, you're absolutely right. If you have like, oh gosh, I feel like I have heart and rhythm here, but I haven't had it diagnosed yet and caffeine makes it worse for me. It makes me, so those people forget about them. The decaf drinkers, I don't know what planet they originate from. Their biology is probably very different. But if you just look at the instant coffee drinkers versus the ground coffee drinkers, you still see a very significant jump. And then what you could do to seek out the next step, to get away from the correlative and to start seeking out the causative, is compare ingredients. Compare what compounds make it into our present in a ground coffee that somehow are not part of that instant coffee formulation. And then you can maybe create a new experiment where you just focus on the lack of overlap. But yeah, of course, more study would need to be done. Yeah, I mean, this is a good kind of study to generate a hypothesis that you then test with actual experimental data, like identifying compounds or whatever. But I'll give you an anecdote, like I don't drink coffee in general. I'm a tea drinker, but I drink decaffeinated. I don't take any caffeine because I have palpitations. But the cause and effect is definitely I stopped drinking caffeine because I have palpitations for a completely unrelated reason. But I would be in that category of somebody who has a rythmias and doesn't drink caffeine. And David Nevin in the chat brings up another really good point I was thinking about too, which is with self-reporting, there's so many problems. Like for example, I drink one cup of coffee a day, but that's a thermos. It's definitely closer to three actual literal cups. So how successful were they in getting real scientific numbers from these whole cups? Self-reporting data is always gonna be iffy. But that's also what you ask. Like if you're gonna get a half a million as your sample size, you're gonna have, you're hoping that the brute force of numbers overcomes the noise of that. But it cuts both ways though, because because you have so many numbers, any kind of confounding factor can be statistically significant. It actually creates noise. It makes the noise statistically significant. So you have to be especially careful when you're dealing with such huge numbers. But it's funny what you say about like the cup, because I treat migraines, I always take a caffeine history on all my migraine patients. And you can't just ask how much coffee you drink or how much caffeine you drink. Cause people will say, oh, I drink one cup a day, but it's a 32 ounce Starbucks, whatever. You have to get to ounces. You have to know how many ounces they consume. And if the study didn't drill down to that level, that's another potential confounding factor. I have some patients who say that they laugh and they go, I measure it in pots of coffee, not cups of coffee. I think I might have identified your problem. Yeah. Absolutely, and speaking of the statistical stuff, there was a study out this week that I couldn't talk about, but just to bring it up very briefly as to how much noise gets generated, there's a researcher who has a paper out suggesting that the popular statistical methods of doing genetic analyses to infer evolutionary relationships are problematic and that it may affect some over 250,000 research papers. And so it's a study that's out and if you find it, take a look at it because it hits at that point of if you have these big data sets, you have to be careful about the way you're looking at them because you can find all sorts of relationships that aren't necessarily real. Especially since a lot of genetic code is single-sourced in a sense, so everything is pretty much a mutation of a mutation of a mutation of a thing that was there for maybe even a different reason, to a logic sense. So you're gonna find genes of great similarity in very disparate organisms. The genes that are involved in budding yeast are also very similar to the ones that do neuron generation. And they may actually share history, but it doesn't mean that there's a closer relationship between man and yeast than we know of. Than other animals, right? Yeah, than other animals, right. Speaking of animals, Blair, you wanted to talk about pet medications? Yes, pet medication. This is a study from University of Minnesota Medical School and they compared the prices of 120 medications commonly used by both humans and pets. For example, my dog and I are on the exact same antacid medication. What? The authors found, can you guess, the price of these medications. What was more? The human or the pet? I would say the human. At least in the United States. Yes, so this was in the United States and the human medications were insanely higher in price than the pet medications when they had the same ingredients at common human equivalent doses. So they're looking at very similar doses, very similar ingredients. The human medications are approximately 5.5 times higher priced than pet medications. On average, if they were discounted, prices were still 1.5 times higher for human medications than for those same pet medications at full price. For example, a 10 day supply of one medication costs $2 for a dog, $10 for a person with a discount or some sort of copay, and $100 for a person paying full price. Human prices were also higher than pet prices for antibiotics. They warn that this may actually promote human sourcing animal drugs, which in some cases would be fine. Like for example, the antacid that my dog is on and I am on are exactly the same and that would be totally fine. But for antibiotics, the course might be different, the dose might be different, the treatment of that drug might be different. And so also human drugs are closer regulated. So the way that they're created, right? Yeah, why can't I go to a vet? Yes, there's a few reasons for that. This is one of them. So next they wanna figure out the reasons behind these price differences. I have an idea. They think that one possibility is drug manufacturers engaging in price discrimination by charging consumers different prices and different markets for the same product. I would say duh. I would say also this is definitely taking advantage of the insurance system and feeding that whole monster because pet insurance, for example, the pet insurance that I have for my dog doesn't cover simple medications. Wait, that's a thing? That's a thing? I didn't know that was a thing. So yeah, so that's what I was gonna say, is pet insurance by and large is like, my dog had to go into $10,000 surgery and I only wanna pay $600. It's not covering your normal vet visits with a copay. It's not covering normal medications. It is covering these kind of like catastrophic costs that pets can cause a family to go through. And that's why you kind of, you'll say, I'll pay you $50 a month and if my dog has to get its stomach pumped one day cause it eats a Lego, you'll take care of it for me, right? So it's a different insurance system as opposed to ours where we kind of are constantly feeding this machine to then charge more for things than they actually cost so that they feed themselves. It's a whole thing. But anyway, that's my guess as to why human medications are more expensive. So anyway, this is not a surprise, this study but I just kind of wanted to throw it out there because it's a good example of kind of one of these predatory tactics. Yeah, but can I ask, I mean, like I know this is, I worked in a medical diagnostic lab for a while. I know that whatever your vet is charging you for a test is a multiple, multiple, multiple of what the lab is actually charging. But I also know that, yes, yes, it definitely, yes. It is, but I will tell you. If you paid $500 for that test, I almost guarantee you the lab didn't charge more than 80. The idea here is I would argue that if you drilled closer down on this, that would be true, but it would be true 5.5 times for humans. Like the time I had to pay full price when I was in the ER and I paid $250 for a microwaveable dish of pasta. So that's my point too. So that same test for a human to get at a lab might be thousands of dollars but it's all invisibly paid by insurance which is how they hide the cost of medical treatments in this country. But the thing that I, a question to have those is for the cost difference between humans and pets, is the dosage, because like a lab test is the same lab test, whether you're a human, a dog, a cat, or a fish. They controlled for dosage, Justin. Oh, they did, okay. So for example, the antacid that my dog is on is 10 milligrams, Mayan acid is 20 milligrams. So they controlled for that, right? Even, you're more than just saying. Milligrams per kilogram, right? I'm not just saying that you're trying to size your dog. Yes, but we actually have a prescribing doctor on the show with us who can probably speak from experience. Yeah, I mean, I'm not on the pharmaceutical industry side, but I do know this is true across many aspects of medicine just because it's an artifact of our insurance system and Medicare and Medicaid that like they're contracted to receive a certain percentage of the true cost. So they just sort of, you know, they don't expect anyone to pay full price. The full price is a bargaining starting point for insurance companies. You know, if you're paying full price, that's like crazy. Nobody expects that that's what's actually happening. That's just so they can get the 20% from Medicaid or whatever, but they have to do that. It's like against the law for them not to then charge you the full price because then that basically shows that they're lying when they say that's the full price. So they kind of have to position themselves that way. And from the pharmaceutical industry point of view, they basically make all their money on the American human market and they don't, the rest of the world, including the animal world doesn't pay those prices. That's kind of built into the system because again, just an artifact of the fact that like Medicaid and Medicare can't negotiate with pharmaceutical companies over prices. Although, you know, they're trying to change that, but so that's basically where it's coming from. And they just, you know, that's where they get all their profit from it. They know they're not going to get it off of pets. Although I have to say, I've noticed over the last 10, 20 years, the amount of money people are willing to spend on their pets is crazy. Like you say like $10,000, $20,000 on an animal that's towards the end of its life expectancy, you know, just get a new pet at that point. I mean, people are going to do what they want to do. So I'm not saying we don't take care of our pets, but it's, I mean, you can really spend $20,000 on a 15 year old dog, but I see people doing that. It's just amazing that they'll do that. Yeah, and I think that's part of this too is there's a different pain threshold for cost with pets versus with your own personal health. And so that's the other thing is, I think pharmaceutical companies know that and they know that if they charged way more for your pet medications, you'd go, my dog will have a stomach ache. It's okay, I can't afford to buy this every week. Or even just like diagnostic tests. It's like the stuff they've offered me for my pets when they are at the end of their life, it's like, no, just making comfortable, I'm not going to do a $2,000 MRI scan to find out that there's a $10,000 surgery I'm not going to do anyway. So I just think it's really, when did that happen? Like I didn't realize at some point that people just were starting to. As the millennial on the show, I'll tell you that I think it's when millennials could no longer afford to have their own children. And so they decided to have the pets instead. And so those pets are their children. Yeah, urban millennials. My day, old Yeller took the helmet. You had a solution. It didn't cost you very much. It was emotionally charged. It's true, but you have a built character. Built character. We don't need that. What's the back of this shed good for anyway these days? Young kids ever go back there? Okay, okay, Justin, you're gonna just stop right now. We don't need to follow this train of thought any further. How interesting for a man who's on a show with an animal corner. The animal corner is gonna be coming up in just a bit on this show, but I do want to stop right here and say thank you so much for joining us for This Week in Science. You are here to learn about science and to have fun while we have fun talking about it with you. If you're enjoying the show, please share it with a friend today. All right, we're gonna come back right now and it is time for us to specifically ask a lot of questions of Dr. Steven Novella. Our guest tonight on the show, as I said, is Dr. Novella who is an academic neurologist at Yale University School of Medicine, in addition to being the host of the Skeptics Guide podcast. He's the president and co-founder of the New England Skeptical Society, a fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry and a founding fellow of the Institute for Science in Medicine. He is a prolific writer, blogging at Neurological Blog and Science-Based Medicine. He's the co-author of the best-selling Skeptics Guide to the Universe named after his podcast that he's been doing for almost about as long as twist has been going on. And now he's co-authored a new book with his fellow Novellas, The Skeptics Guide to the Future. Thank you so much for joining us on the show tonight. Well, thanks again for having me on the show. It's always fun to talk about this topic. Oh, the future? Yeah. I mean, it's unwritten, right? We can just talk about that all night long, make things up, it's all good. Yeah, I mean, so people asked me how long it took me to write this book and I always say about 20 years or longer. My brothers and I have been amateur futurists, technophiles, science fiction fans, basically our whole lives. So we really dug deep into this book. It was so much fun to research and to put it together. Just thinking about the possibilities of what could happen in the future. But of course we didn't wanna just riff, right? We wanted to take like a hard skeptical look that's the Skeptics Guide to the Future, not just riffing about the future. So we did a deep dive on futurism itself, like the science of thinking about how things change over time and how to think about the future. Don't like to say predict the future because we're not psychics, you know? And then predicting the future kind of implies that it's inevitable. And one of the points that we make in the book strongly is that the future is not inevitable. The present is not inevitable. Things could look, have looked very different today if just things had zigged instead of zags, you know? So the future is something that we make by the choices that we make, right? We craft the future. But we can think about what's plausible, what's likely and what types of things tend to happen and how our choices will shape the future. So what did it mean to you to take a skeptical look at the future and at kind of all of the various futurists and people who craft their living off of telling the future, or so it is? Yeah, so at the beginning of the book, we list what we call futurism fallacies, right? So these are just common mistakes that past futurists have made. And there are lots of patterns. People, the futurists tend to make the same mistakes over and over again. And so we identify and explain as many of them as we can and then we try not to make any of them when we talk about the future. So for example, one of my favorites is that we tend, when we think about the future, we tend to imagine ourselves in the future, right? And in fact, science fiction often does that and futurists of the past have done that. Isaac Asimov imagined a world 10,000 years from now with people from the 1930s living there, right? I mean, like exactly zero cultural change over 10,000 years. But that's clearly not gonna be the case. And culture is changing the way we interact with technology, like even one generation to the next, let alone over hundreds of years or longer. The people who are gonna be using whatever technology develops in the future are gonna be different than us. They're gonna have a different morality, different relationship with technology. And you can't really understand the choices that they're gonna make if you're, again, if you're just imagining yourself in that future because that's not the way it's gonna play out. Yeah, I mean, we don't have, I don't think, a spoken language or a written language that was around 10,000 years ago that is being used today, you know? I mean, we're gonna have such, if we look back 10,000 years to try to assume the difference, the gap between where we would be 10,000 years ago. And that's assuming not 1930s people all the way through, but that the rate of change over the next 10,000 years would even be anywhere near the last 10,000 years, which we can probably guess that it's going to be accelerated because of technology and everything else. Yeah, that's one of the aspects of futures in that we spend, you have to focus a lot on. And people like Kurzweil would ever have written about that a lot. Like what is the pattern of the rate of change in technological and scientific progress over time? There's luck, right? Just more luck. It's well, I mean, it's- Doubling. Like Kurzweil argues that it's, you know, geometric and that it's gonna continue to do that. We're at the inflection point, but actually it's more complicated than that because not all technologies follow that pattern. I liked one of the examples I give in the book, for example, like when I was 10 years old and our family took a trip to California, you know, from the East Coast, we got on this jet and we got there in six hours, you know? And then a couple of years ago was at the AAAS in Seattle, I got on the plane and I got there in six hours. Like there was zero progress in at least the time it took for me to fly across the coast in 50 years. I mean, think about that. If you asked anybody 50 years ago, I think it's gonna get quicker to get to fly across the country in 50 years. They probably would have said yes, but we've hit a technological equilibrium point there where jets fly pretty much at the optimal speed. Did it take a certain number below the speed of sound where fuel efficiency is maximal? And they're staying there. They have no intention of going faster. And the Concorde, which was the fast one, it was too loud. Well, you gotta go supersonic. Yeah, so that worked for a while, but there were probably limited routes because of the sonic boom and it was very expensive. The economics, right? And there are companies trying to reboot supersonic travel but it's hard to predict that that will take off because again, it's like how much are people willing to pay for that? And I've done a deep dive on why the Concorde failed. It's always more complicated than you think. It had to do with limited routes and things like that. There was an accident, which was definitely what was a huge problem, but also they positioned themselves, and this is just decisions that companies make and it just turns out to be the wrong one. It turns out that the commercial jets just out-competed them in terms of first class luxury. So you could be more comfortable for cheaper on a regular commercial flight than paying for the supersonic flight. Those seats were not as comfortable and so they just got out-competed and then the business model fell apart. So you can't predict what's going to happen just based on superior technology. The superior technology doesn't always win out because people have lots of reasons for the choices they make. It could be comfort, it could be convenience, it could be cost, it could be safety, it could be the environment, it could be fashion, it could be aesthetics. Some people would argue that the segway failed partly because people thought they looked dorky writing it. There were just things you can't predict until you put technology in the hands of millions or billions of people. That's another reason why you can't make these assumptions and futures tend to make, oh, we'll be doing it this way because this is clearly the superior technologies. But people might not like it. I still cook with knives, with steel. In fact, I bought hand-forged kitchen knives, hand-forged because I like them. And they're because they're- You like the Santoku, like the folding steel. Yeah, the steel is really high quality. I'm not using some kind of space-age metal. Elon Musk is building the starship out of steel because it's cheap and it's good and it works. There isn't this predictable pace of technological change in every area and that's where it really becomes challenging. However, it is absolutely true that scientific research in some arenas is accelerating. There was a couple of studies which came out ironically after our editor cut us off for the making edits to the book because you're never done with a book like this. At some point, the editor just cut you off and said, stop sending me updates. You can't go anymore. But there were a couple of studies where they used AI, just narrow AI algorithms in order to essentially accelerate the rate of research, to essentially predict of the billion things we can look at here, what's the ones that are most likely to be true? And they essentially did 20 or 30 years worth of research in a couple of weeks. So that's a massive acceleration in the rate of scientific research that's happening now. That's one of those futurism promises that is coming true before our eyes. So, there's the whole spectrum from things of stalled or hit roadblocks and we don't know if they're ever gonna get over it to, wow, this is like much faster than anybody predicted it was gonna be. And if you could predict which ones are gonna do that, you could become a billionaire, right? But it's hard to predict that. That's why not everybody is rich, right? Yeah, everybody wants to go back in time and put money into Apple. Because if you knew that smartphones were gonna be the thing or whatever, then, yeah, sure, you'd at least know what the company's to invest in. As a science fiction enthusiast, and this book is full of that mix of science and science fiction, science fiction as it inspires science and science as it inspires science fiction authors, who do you think in terms of science fiction authors or creators, imaginers, has gotten the most right? Do you think from what you've looked at, you have an idea? I don't know that there's one clear winner, but I mean, a lot of people point to Arthur C. Clark. I mean, he definitely was not only one of the great science fiction writers, but wrote in hard science fiction and was very prescient about many things. A lot of science fiction, science fiction's interesting is a lot of futurism that happens in science fiction. So that's why we did plumb that resource for futurism, and it's a lot of fantastic speculation there, but at the end of the day, they're writing a story and the narrative has to come first. So there are certain things that they don't even try to get accurate because it doesn't really work with the story. The big thing is space travel. You pretty much have to forget everything you've ever seen in any science fiction about what future space travel is going to be like. It's because it would be completely boring or just be so problematic, like you can't tell your story. And now we're gonna be on a ship for six months, but there has to be a gimmie there somewhere. And then even the really good hard science fiction like The Expanse, which I thought was excellent, they still had to make up a fake rocket technology that will never exist in order to keep their story moving along. They still had to do that and they kind of knew that that was their gimmie. So science fiction is interesting because it's like, yes, there's some really good futurism in science fiction that anticipated a lot of actual scientific and cultural changes, but there's also the narrative, the demands of the storytelling that limit the futurism are constrained in certain ways. So we talk a lot about that as well because we all think the future is what the science fiction is telling us it's going to be. It's like, yeah, but it's gonna be nothing like anything you've seen in the movies for very good reasons. Yeah, so even starting this week in science back about 20 odd years ago, flying cars, we were at UC Davis and we had a flying car creator in the local area and it was all in the news. We were gonna have flying cars sometime soon. Where's my flying car? Yeah, I mean, that's like probably the number one trope of the future, right? There are always flying cars in the future. People also think of the future as this one amorphous time period, but how long in the future? And again, it's one of those things that one of those technologies, it's not impossible. It just is a lot harder than people thought it was gonna be. Pesky laws of physics that you have to deal with. It just takes a lot of energy to get something off the ground and rolling on wheels is really efficient. And so there's gotta be some reason why you're gonna do this massively inefficient way of getting from point A to point B. And there's safety issues and all these other issues as well. I think where we are right now, we've kind of cracked the safety issue with AI assisted drones, basically. I mean, the flying car would basically be a big drone. So yeah, I think we're pretty much there. We're pretty much there in terms of the safety, at least in good weather. Probably not in adverse weather. And good weather will be picked up by our drone lift, right? In terms of energy efficiency, we're kind of getting close to the line. Electric engines are actually very efficient. But I read an analysis, there was about a year ago where they said, yeah, actually electric cars, even with current technology, could be energy and cost efficient if you are commuting across a really challenging area, right? So if you are trying to get from one end of a busy city to another end of a busy city where you're basically gonna be in traffic for two hours, flying is cost effective. Or if you have to go around a great lake or something where you have to go way out of your way, flying the direct route could actually be cost effective. And actually most of the energy is just getting off the ground. Once you're cruising, it's about the same as a car. It's actually not that much different. So it's actually totally plausible. Flying cars are totally plausible. It was just a lot harder than everybody thought. And I don't wanna say we're getting close because it's like one of those technologies that's always 20 years away. And like we're still thinking that, but it is extremely plausible. It just again, then it'll be like, how much is it gonna cost? Are people gonna be willing to pay that much? Are you gonna need a special license for it? How hard is that gonna be? What's the cost of operating it going to be? Is it gonna be too much of a pain in the ass where you can't take it every time that's too windy outside or whatever? All these things have to play out in real time. It'll probably find a niche somewhere. You know what I mean? Is it really the question of how much is it gonna be used? Or is it just gonna be a rich toy for rich people? Or is it really gonna be the Jetsons where there's gonna be the flying car lanes where everyone's using to get to work? Yeah, and I think that gets at the question is like, what are the specific situations in which certain technologies become adopted on mass by individuals and useful for individuals versus potentially useful in an industrial capacity versus just not useful at all? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, part of it is the killer app, right? Somebody is really clever and figures out a really clever way to use it and to make people's lives better or just an aesthetic. You know, like Microsoft came out with the tablet before Apple did, but Apple made it cooler. And so they're the iPad that predominates. You know, again, wasn't really technologically necessarily any better, it just made it cooler. So it's the same kind of thing. And also here's another futurism fallacy, you know, is that new technology replaces old technology. It does sometimes, but most of the time they can, the old technology persists, they just sort of take on different roles. Like TV didn't replace radio. Radio just became a different thing when TV was filling some of its purpose. And, you know, so now we have, you know, radio and TV and movies and streaming and it's all continuing to exist side by side in, you know, filling different niches. And so that's typically what happens. Another, again, one of those future fallacies is that, you know, old technology is remarkably persistent. And when people imagine the future, it's like everything changes. Like there's no recognizable technology because it's the future. So everything has got to be different. It's like, no, you know, we still live in buildings made of wood and stone and glass and ceramic. And, you know, it's... And we had record keeping and notes being made in the ancient world on tablets. And a lot of them were in the hand held. The thing about the size of an iPhone. It was just like, we didn't invent the iPhone, the tablet out of it. We invented it based on our hand. Our hand chose the design. Like these are the ergonomic aspects of you. We didn't invent selfies. People have been taking various versions of artistic selfies for as long as we've been alive, you know. Yeah, technology has deep roots always far way farther back. The steam engine, you know, was existed in ancient Rome. They just never figured out the killer app, right? They didn't realize we could industrialize this. So they just used it for toys. But what if one person figured out that you could use steam power to automate and industrialize work? We could have had the industrial revolution 2,000 years ago, but nobody thought of it. And so they... And when we say we, because one of the things that when people talk about the future, we tend to think of, again, not necessarily 1930s versions of ourselves into the future kind of a thing, but our own culture is being projected. Like we have like something like 40% of planet earth is living under authoritarian governments that are probably gonna use any technology to maintain power of a state body, not so much a human... Or not use it, turn it off, as in the case of Iran right now. Yeah, correct. That's why pretty much for many of the chapters that we wrote where we say like, how will this technology play out into the future? Like what would the mature version of this technology look like? We often, like we have to present, here's the utopian version and here's the dystopian version because you're right. What if an authoritarian government gets their hands on this technology? That will play out very differently than if a liberal democracy gets their hands on this technology. And so that's the other thing that, like how will technology be used? It kind of depends on things like the government and society and things that we're not really in a position to predict. We're not sociologists, you know, we're psychologists. We're just, we're science nerds. Yeah, whatever, there's like a dozen ways the earth can, we could destroy the earth that we... Yeah, the dart mission, the dart mission, which is great because hey, there's an asteroid coming and we can put a thing on it and then we divert it maybe. But at the same time, you're like, oh, hey, there's an asteroid coming. We could put a thing on it and adjust it just so when it makes its entry, it hits our enemies on the other side of the world. Like all of this is double edge. But again, it's like so hard to get beyond just the immediate socio-political economic thing that again, 10,000, if we were talking in a 10,000 year frame might be difficult to even imagine that the humans are the dominant species. There's the doogie howzer mouse mice that escaped, you're familiar with these? Most intelligent, genetically engineered mice that were ever created in a lab escaped and are now out in the wild somewhere because they were smart enough to escape. Maybe they come in in 10,000 years and replace us. Or it could be the crows, you know. Or it could be the crows or maybe they work together. Maybe finally we have a new species through operation. On the different time scales, it's something I found that was really interesting with the book actually is that you did kind of address these various time scales. At one point you make the very basic statement, the future is anything from like a split second from right now to anytime, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, a million years in the future until the heat death of the universe, right? But then you do go through and kind of address what might be possible in different time frames. Why was that? I mean, it kind of gets both harder and easier to predict the future when you get farther in the future because what's, I think there's almost like this bimodal curve of difficulty. So if you're talking about 20, 30 years, you're just extrapolating from existing trends and emerging technologies. Again, you could still be wrong if you don't do it well, but I think we could make some pretty confident statements about like, oh yeah, batteries are getting better, solar power is getting better, computers are getting more powerful, AI algorithms are getting more powerful. We're probably gonna have self-driving cars within 10 or 20 years that are real self-driving cars, not the almost ones that we have now. So there are some high probability predictions you can make over 20, 30 years. Then it becomes really hard to precisely predict what things are gonna be like in a hundred years because there's so many, so many different possibilities. Like are we gonna have fusion power in 50 years or is that gonna be more like 150 years? That's a hard prediction to make. But if you go far enough in the future, it's like, well, definitely by 500 years from now we'll have fusion power. And once we get fusion power, that's pretty much it. For a long time, like probably tens of thousands of years, that's probably the best that we could do. Now, there's always the wild cards. There's a runout of deuterium and tritium and things like that, right? Yeah, right. Well, you could make it from hydrogen that you get from water. So it's a pretty abundant resource. But the difficulty is really in predicting the timing of things. So again, if you go, and we don't even try, we just say, and when this technology reaches full maturity, whenever that happens, and we could argue about how long that's gonna take, this is the potential of this technology. And so unfortunately, we only have sort of one history to look at humanity. We don't have like the encyclopedia galactica. We could say, oh, these civilizations tend to do this. We have no idea. We have one data point. But it's really fascinating to think about like what technology is plateau and for how long? And what happens when we run up against the limits of physics? You know, there are physical constraints to things. We should be able to, because we have, I mean, you say it's, we have one data point, but it's our data point. Yeah. It's, you know, tens of thousands of years of about 10,000 years ish of civilization and they're like going back, we have a history. We know the eighth brain of humans and how they engage in the new things over and over and over. We know our political systems seem to repeat over and over and over. Ideologies seem to repeat over all these things repeat. So what your job then is to take, okay, what if we give this eighth brain somewhat predictable creature new technology? Yeah. How do they then, how do they then do the same thing that they always do, but on this other scale or in this other arena? And I think one of the things like we've been modifying our environment and modifying our own abilities so much. I think that there's going to come, we know I don't have to, I don't think wait to too many generations. It might be the generations born today that's going to be totally okay with genetically altering themselves. I mean, for that cosmetic surgery, but then you could even see like a special, a branching of intentional evolution of, and then when you get into it. And then all bets are off because you're talking about different species. You do talk about genetic modification and synthetic biology in the book a bit. Oh yeah, I mean, that's going to be huge. Absolutely, we're getting more and more control over genetics in general, not only ours, but just of all life. And that's progressing at the same time that we're getting more and more ability to control our environment digitally to basically convert information more and more directly into physical stuff. And we're also getting more and more ability to merge with our own technology because the brain-machine interface exists and it works. It's just a matter of making it incrementally better at this point, all the proof of concept is there. So all these things are happening kind of at the same time. And so what's going to dominate in 50 years, 100 years, 200 years? Are we going to be more genetically modified? Are we going to all be cyborgs? Are we going to all be living in a virtual computer world and just be laying on a couch? Or all of those, I think everything's going to be happening. It's just a matter of proportion, but that's going to get where it gets really tricky. But I agree, one of the patterns that we tend to see over and over again is that some new disruptive technology gets introduced, everyone's aghast, and there's a lot of protest and pushback. And then within a generation, everyone is just okay with it and it's normal now. But before we get the cyborgs, the world has got to agree on the standard input. You're right, we have one input, yeah. Shut up, you can't keep changing the connectivity of the table. It has to be reversible, I can't go like, is it this way, is it this way? Exactly. Which way do I have to put it in there? Absolutely. So that's my question though. Are you a Mac person or are you a PC person? Oh man. It takes on new meaning. Right, so as technology improves and our interface with technology improves and efficiency improves and all these things, I'm not so concerned about where's my flying car. I'm more concerned about when all this happens that makes our lives easier, are we still gonna be working 40 hour work weeks? Yeah, we actually talk about the 40 hour work week because that's very artifactual too. I mean, when technology was improving, people actually were working longer hours because their hours of work were more valuable to corporations, right? You're more productive. So let's work them even harder. So improving technology led to greater hours of greater work weeks. We like in the West, we only- You can do more. Yeah, we only got the 40 hour work week by legislation. It was by fiat. It wasn't because of any trend in technology or economics. And now that's being reversed by gig work basically and not just with gig work, even before that, basically people are working like contract work they're getting around to the 40 hour work week limitation in all sorts of ways. So the amount of hours we're working is actually going up again. So there isn't this direct correlation between technology and convenience. Although that was the big assumption a hundred years ago, technology is all about luxury and convenience. It actually isn't, and things like that, these are decisions that we make and they're political decisions. They're not really driven by technology. And again, that's why you can't say, we're going to be working five hour work weeks like the Jetsons in the future. How do you don't know that? There's no trend in history to predict that. If anything, we'll be working more. Capitalism? That's the thing. That's the thing. It's like, I think at some point it does become more Star Trek. And I get that we're following around a military group all the time. So they're not talking about transactional stuff. No, they don't have money in Star Trek. Well, yeah, they don't own a Starship. They don't own a Starship. But they're also all in military conscripts for all we know. We don't really know how they got there. But the thing is, we're already to see. To explore your world. Maybe. Maybe. It's the future. Do they have a choice? They grew up in the Starfleet system. Okay? You need to see the most recent Lower Decks episode. Okay, I haven't watched that one yet. So, but the thing I was going to say, we already live in the United States at least in a society where 90% of the population only has a 16% stake in the stock market in the country. So there's already like such a disconnect between what is where the money economy and how people are surviving. It's not actually that big of a leap to get away from it. When that many people aren't that involved with the economy. Yeah, again, that's a trend that's really hard to predict because there's the wild card in all of this because it's got it's really fun to speculate and to try to extrapolate current trends and technology into the future. But when you look at the actual history of the advance of technology, what we see are there's just this every now and then there's this disruptive technology that nobody anticipated, which completely obliterates all previous predictions immediately. And so it's almost guaranteed that that's going to happen. And like none of us have mentioned the real things that are going to completely disrupt the future. Like for, again, I think the most dramatic example that we're past is that no futurist predicted the analog to digital revolution before it happened. And so all predictions about the future from the analog world was more analog, there was going to be a more sophisticated, what I call, it's a steampunk fallacy, right? Steampunk is what if technology was the same as it was in the Victorian era, just more and more and more complicated and elaborate. But it's still steam technology. Now this cassette punk, there's all kinds of things where you, let's keep the technology in one era and then just say, what if that just persisted indefinitely? But that's what a lot of futurists do because almost by definition, you can't anticipate the disruptive technologies because they kind of come out of the blue. And once they occur, they could change everything. Again, all predictions prior to digital revolution are obsolete pretty much about, and even Asimov got it like dramatically wrong. Like he painted an analog world 10,000 years in the future, but then 10 years later, he had to completely retcon his own fiction to make it fit this clearly the digital revolution that was happening. And then even then, we didn't anticipate the full implications of it. Nobody saw like, yeah, the smartphone coming when it did. Again, only when the technology is already sort of existing, that's when it starts to appear in science fiction, but nobody really anticipated it. So like we try to think about, what's the disruptive technology that no one's really thought about? Like what could it be? And it's just so hard to say. That's kind of a point. Some genius will figure out something crazy to do that gets around what we think of are the limitations of technology. Here's another example. I don't wanna keep ranting, but for a long time, there was the diffractive limit, right? The laws of physics say that you can only image something, the size of the wavelength of the light that you're using, whatever. You can't get beyond this diffractive limit. This is the limitation of optics baked into the laws of physics. And that's it. We're never gonna get past it until we did, right? Until we developed metamaterials. Again, what are metamaterials? Nobody predicted metamaterials until they existed. It's a completely disruptive technology, but this is an emerging one because we're like right at the beginning of it. It's basically when you take materials and you manipulate them at the nano scale or something like that, where they have properties that can't be explained by just their physical structure, by their material that they're made of. They take on new properties because of the features at the nano scale. This is like whenever you read about like the invisibility thing, it's all metamaterials. Visibility cloak, metamaterials. The lens, a microscopic lens, it's all metamaterials. And so, yeah, we can do things like get around the laws of physics of optics by metamaterials. What's the next metamaterials? I don't know. I mean, predict that and you're a freaking genius, right? But we know, I don't think it's, we've stopped coming up with disruptive technologies all of a sudden. And that's like one thing, it's almost guaranteed that our vision of the world a hundred years from now has to be wrong because someone's gonna come up with something we didn't anticipate. And I really hope it's something that is sustainable energy related. I mean, let's, that fusion, I'm not waiting 500 years, like can we have it now? I mean, fusion, I mean, it's one of those technologies that's like always 30 years away. I get always, yeah. But it is, but there is progress being made there. We have achieved burning plasma, right? So they have actually achieved- The Tokamax are doing great. The Tokamax are doing great. They, even the laser conformance are doing, actually the laser confinement's ahead of the Tokamax in terms of like burning plasma. But then after, again, this is like killing myself because after we wrote, because there's a fusion chapter in the book and after the editor cut us off, there's a study came out that, hey, here's a design for a fusion reactor where you don't have to have sustained fusion, which of course is like the hardest part about having plasma energy. It's like, you can just have little fusion explosions and they're not sustainable. And that will generate a lot of heat and that will heat the steam and turn your turbine. And there you go. It's like, shit, my chapter's already obsolete because we didn't include this whole new idea that I didn't think of, but somebody's like, hey, forget burning plasma. Let's just have tiny explosions. And they did it with a really clever way. They use sonic cavitation, like shrimp snapping its claw, yeah. And to collapse it down, but it's just for a moment, just long enough for it to explode and make a lot of heat and then you just keep doing it again and again and again. Like crap, that could work. And now the next edition of my book is gonna have to completely add a new angle to it. But at least, this is the kind of book that it can be updated as we go into the future. I mean, one of the other topics is room temperature superconductivity. And this week a paper got retracted that was like a major room temperature superconductivity paper. Yeah, that's another good example of how you can't predict the pace of scientific and technological advance. So if you lived through the 1980s, you lived through all the hype about superconduct, high temperature superconductors because they discovered the ceramic, like a new class of materials that was high temperature, meaning, you don't need liquid hydrogen. You can be at liquid nitrogen temperatures and that's a lot cheaper than helium or liquid hydrogen. And so it did really matter. It was a very important technological advance, but all of the hype was, well, if we made this much advance over this period of time in 10, 20 years, we're gonna have room temperature superconductors. Everyone was saying that. And I was too young and naive not to doubt it. I'm like, oh, great, that's gonna be awesome. And now here we are 40 years later and we are no closer. Not that they haven't advanced the science, but really, and there's been some incremental advances in the temperature and blah, blah, blah, but really we're still dealing with the same ceramics and we're still pretty much at the same point. And every time I read a paper about it, there's always a gotcha. It's like, oh, that's a high temperature. Oh, you gotta be at a billion Pascals. I mean, you gotta have the pressure of a diamond anvil or something and that's when you could do it. And that's probably not even a pathway to room temperature superconductors that we could build computers out of or whatever. Right, you're gonna have that in your kitchen. Yeah, we've just hit a wall and we don't know if it's even possible. We just may never have room temperature superconductors that are pliable and work in one atmosphere and whatever, all the things we would need them to be. Who knows? But if they do, we could say, hey, but if they do, this is what that will be like, but we don't know when or if that's gonna happen now, but that was such a fake, a fake out. That was a tease in the 1980s, man, but that's like one of the things that really made me skeptical of technology hype. I'm like, oh, they totally lied to us about the room temperature superconductors, you know? And that's a huge point. Like right now, and maybe a good point for us to end our conversation on is, right now we are in this sensationalist media environment and there's hype all over the place in all sorts of directions by the newest gadget, Gizmo, the world's gonna end, everybody's gonna be fine. Everything's a breakthrough, everything's a cure for cancer. Oh no, your punch is fine. Yeah, all this stuff. So how, with this book and a skeptical eye, like what can you offer to people as a way to look into the future? Yeah, I mean, we'll definitely don't believe the hype, and that's a good rule of thumb. And the mainstream media reporting of science, they look for the hype. That's the formula that they have. They're not putting it at the context. You know, they're really just, oh, what would be some fantastical application of that? And that becomes the story. Not that there was just some incremental progress in understanding the phenomenon. So it's always good to find topic experts and see what they're saying about it and not just believe the mainstream reporting. But what we do balance that, we're not, yes, we're skeptical and you have to be very careful about overhyping things. But at the same time, the progress that's actually happening is amazing. It's absolutely astounding. And it is gonna get faster in the aggregate. Again, you can't predict that for every individual type of technology. It is getting faster in the aggregate. And the potential stuff that is gonna come out in the next 10, 20, 30 years is amazing. You know, again, if you've been paying attention, you know, in the last 10 years, the AI applications have exploded, have absolutely exploded. Actually, I had the opportunity to talk to an AI expert last week when we were doing a streaming event. And I said, yeah, it's just, you know, computers are more powerful. The internet has a lot of training data there and people have gotten really clever at leveraging these algorithms to do really cool stuff. And it just exploded, just absolutely exploded. Again, not something, yet we kind of hit a wall with AI for like decades and now suddenly it's exploded. Again, you can't really predict that, except that at some point, it'll probably get better. It's hard to map out exactly how long it's gonna take. And then it'll happens faster than you think it's going to happen. So it's a wild ride, you know, so just enjoy it. I hope people can take that optimistic angle because there is so much to enjoy. Like your book. Absolutely, thank you. Yeah, thank you so much for joining us on the show. The ton of fun. Your book, The Skeptics Guide to the Future, what yesterday's science and science fiction tell us about the world of tomorrow. Where can people find it and where can people find out, find you? Yes, I would launch yesterday, so it's now available to order right now. You can get it at Amazon pretty much anywhere if people sell books. If you just go to our website, TheSkepticsGuide.org, we have a book page that links to the official book page, which has all of the places that you can get it. So it's available in the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand at this point in time. And you know, you always get contracts for other languages so that those are filtering in but nothing's gonna be available in other languages for a while. So yeah, so you can just order it online. And of course, it's print, Kindle, and audio. I recorded the audio version of the book. Is that one of those that I'm looking at? Is that Barnes & Noble? Yeah. They still exist? Hey, books are coming back. Books are an old technology that people are not giving up on. They're actually book sales, hardcover paperback books. Paper physical books are increasing at this point. I go to bookstores all the time. And yes, Justin, there is a Barnes & Noble actually close to my house that I go to frequently. Well, I think that's fantastic. I thought they all went away. The one in the old hometown disappeared. And so then you just assume it was everywhere. Like the blockbuster in town disappeared. You go to another town, you don't see a blockbuster. Those are all gone. You can't feel a movie with your fingers. You can't smell it. You can't smell the paper. Streaming did kill blockbusters, but e-books did not kill physical books. But again, it's just people like it. It's changed how finance movies. Everyone out there, support authors, support bookstores, and also support your local libraries. Very important resources. Thank you once again. So great to have you on the show. Such a great time. Yeah, really good to see you again. Have a good day. Yep, good seeing you too. Goodnight, guys. Right. All righty, everyone, that was fun. What a great conversation with Dr. Novella. I want to remind you, you are currently in the throes of this week in science. It's a wonderful, science-y place to be in the midst of discussion and curiosity related to science. If you enjoy the show, please head over to our website, twist.org, and click on the Patreon link. Patreon is how we support our show through listener support, and at $10 or more per month, we will thank you by name at the end of the show. It is now that hour that we come to. We know and love on this week in science. Is it a whole hour? Ah, no, no, at this time, no, what, what? Blair's Animal Corner. She's really expanded her slide. She loves to spy on creatures great and small. Biped, milliped, no pet at all. If you wanna hear about animals, she's your girl. Except for giant pandas and squirrels. Well. Ooh, I have fruit flies. Fruit flies. We talk about fruit flies all the time. They're really great to study. And one of the things that lots of researchers study with fruit flies is male mating roles and their behavior and how they compete with one another. But this week, scientists at the Champalimo Center for the Unknown in Portugal. It's probably not the right way to say that, but you get it. Has an idea that female fruit flies have a lot more to do with this process than previously believed. That's because it's well known that female fruit flies normally display aggression over food and territory. So what about mating? Why has this not been looked at before? It's because the males have aggression when they compete for mates. And so it's kind of like, wash our hands of that. They're the ones competing over mates. And it's usually kind of a one or the other thing when you're talking about animals. Are the males competing or the females competing? Who's got the advantage, right? And so that was always the understanding before, but considering that females do display aggression over food and territory, might they also show aggression related to mating that just has not previously been noticed? And because I'm talking about it, you probably have an idea what the answer is. So they have discovered a new type of female behavior in fruit flies, something they call aggressive sexual competition, specifically related in this case to a species where males already are competing. The new behavior wasn't covered when they placed two virgin females and one male in the same chamber. Why do I say virgin females? We're getting there. In the beginning, the male alternated courting both females who's like, hey, how's it going? Hey, how's it going? Hey, would you like a drink? Hey, would you like a drink? Hey, you look really pretty tonight. Hey, you really look really pretty tonight. Just kind of work in both ends of the table there. And at that stage, there were no problems. They didn't mind. They were both getting courted. They were happy. However, as soon as he began actually copulating, actually mating with one of them, the other female attacked. She had butted. She pushed. Mainly she did this on the females' rear end, of course, where the actual copulation was taking place. Just cut that out. Yeah, hey, what are you, you were talking to me. This is curious because when they reverse the situation, when there are two males in the same chamber and one female, both vigorously court the female simultaneously. So the males are both kind of vying for the female's attention. But once the mating starts with one of the males, the losing male doesn't attack. He just continues to court the female, going, hey, are you sure I'm over here? Maybe when you're done, so it's kind of doesn't give up hope. So this was the first initial finding. They were like, oh, yes, there is some aggression. So then they wanted to know what signals were impacting this behavior, especially considering it's similar aggression to again, what they see related to food and territory. So they tested these kind of different experimental conditions. One was that to become aggressive, the females had to be courted first. If a female virgin entered the chamber while another pair was already mating, she didn't care. She had no like investment basically in the process because the male hadn't courted her previously. So they understood enough that like, oh, he's not interested, supposed to like that lying son of a... Anyway, they also found the reason I brought up, a virgin before, is that if females had recently mated, they wouldn't become aggressive even if they were initially courted. So they already got the sperm they needed to breed. So they were like, I'm not fussed, that's fine, you go do what you're gonna do. The other thing is that smell was a determinant factor. Aggression only happened in the presence of food odor. Mated females become aggressive towards each other in the presence of food. So after they've already mated with a male, they just fight over food. But when the females were virgins, so they had not mated yet, they still aggressed in the presence of food odor. So the idea they're thinking here is that the food odor overall is a kind of push towards aggression because food is part of a successful pregnancy, whether you have mated already or whether you have not mated yet. Food is part of the equation. So it's possible that if there's no food around, they're less fussed because they might not carry a pregnancy to term anyway. I don't know, it's pretty weird. And by term, I just think, you know, lay a bunch of things. But they also found this was in fact the odor that was doing it. It wasn't anything else related because they looked at odor receptors in the flies. And when they blocked those receptors, their aggression was significantly reduced. So olfactory factors were a significant role. And in fact, more than visual signals, they also tested this on blind flies and they were still aggressive towards other females in the presence of food odor, even if they could not see. So this means this is new context for female fruit flies competing for sexual mate, not something that's been studied very much at all, if at all. This also adds to the growing body of evidence that fruit fly females have complex behaviors that relate to social, emotional, internal states. Of course, this is another insect with their kind of clump of nerve cells for a brain that is displaying this kind of complex behavior that is more than just a very simple on-off switch response to stimuli, there's a lot of things going on. So they wanna use next extensive genetic and molecular tools to investigate the neural underpinnings of this behavior because fruit flies now. This is a great example of a study animal that we know how to manipulate in a bunch of ways already displaying something interesting. So it's gonna be really easy to come up with a wealth of research based on these guys. The other thing that I wanna mention here is that at a larger degree, it could be time to re-examine sexual selection in the animal kingdom when it is attributed solely to one side of the coin. There can be sexual selection and sexual competition happening on both sides. And this is a really good example of that. So just because you've seen the two bucks fighting with their giant antlers, that doesn't mean the females aren't also competing for resources and mates. So just kind of a good reminder when we're looking at behavioral ecology, right? Yeah, and this is a huge example of that. It's not just resources, not just mates. This is the both of them together, food order. Ooh, there's food nearby. That's a resource. That means it's a time of plenty. Mating is important now. Really good time to have babies. Yeah. Maybe the doe in your antler scenario, maybe the doe, when she catches on that there's a male that's sort of following her around. Maybe she wanders over to the other male. She's had her eye on territory. And then they see each other and compete. Like, oh, okay, here's one. So manipulation, I see. Uh-huh, her how. Justin, are you speaking to previous experiences in courtship? Anyway, moving on to whale brains. I wanna tell you about this crazy study that I read that I had to read like four times. So, in all mammals, the average blood pressure is higher in arteries or the blood exiting the heart than in veins. This is understood, widely understood. This difference in pressure drives blood flow in the body, which helps move oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, including through the brain. However, locomotion can forcefully move blood, think about like a horse trot, causing spikes in pressure or pulses to the brain. The difference in pressure between the blood entering and exiting the brain can cause brain damage. And in fact, long-term brain damage of this kind can lead to dementia in human beings. So, where are the whales? Well, first I have to tell you about the horses. Land mammals. Yes, land mammals such as horses experience these pulses in their blood when they gallop. Their blood pressure inside their body goes up and down on every stride. They deal with these pulses by breathing in and out. This study posits that marine mammals that swim dorsoventral movements, that's most of them, but especially whales, they suggest that this same pulse is happening inside their body. But, cetaceans hold their breath while they dive and they swim. So they can't do what the horses do to regulate these blood pulses because they're holding in their breath. They can't use respiratory changes to moderate the pressure pulses. So they must have found another way to deal with this problem. This all comes down to whale brains because there are these weird blood vessels in whale brains that have been seen for a long time, but nobody really knew exactly what it was for. So this is actually the first time that there is a really good theory of what these radiumirabilia or wonderful net, these blood vessels cradling the whale's brain and spine might be used for. Researchers used computer modeling to try to figure out what's happening in their body. They collected biomechanic parameters for 11 cetacean species. They input this data into the computer model. And the theory was that the radia used a pulse transfer mechanism to make sure there's no difference in blood pressure in the cetacean's brain during movement rather than dampening the pulses that occur in the blood, the way that the horses do with the breeding. The radia transfer the pulse in the arterial blood entering the brain to the venous blood exiting. So they kind of just like open up the floodgates to allow the pressure to exit quickly, keeping the same amplitude or strength of pulse. So they are avoiding those pressure pulses in the brain that can create brain damage. The computer model supported that prediction that locomotion generated pressure pulses can be synchronized by pulse transfer mechanisms and that reduced the pulsatility of flow by up to 97%. So it really does seem like this is what this blood vessel net is doing. This model could potentially be used to ask questions about other animals and what happens with their blood pressure pulses when they move, including us, of course. And- It's one of the theories that have been put out there as for why we have the big brains. Being bipedal with fleshy feet, creating blood pressure injections to the brain over and over and over again through millions of years. Yeah. So this hypothesis still needs to be directly tested because this was just a computer model. I don't wanna say just a computer model, but still it needs to be actually directly tested so they need to measure blood pressures and flow in the brain as some incitations. However, that's not currently possible. You can't put a probe in a live whale for many reasons, many just being current rules that exist in scientific testing, but perhaps there will be new technologies to our previous conversation that will make this possible in the future. A nice jaunty hat for a whale that could check this instead. I don't know, but it would definitely need a chin strap so it wouldn't fall out. Anyway, I'm just picturing this now. But yeah, so this is something that ties cetaceans, ties whales back to the land mammals that they originated from. It's a common problem, but in this case, they had to develop a whole new solution because they hold their breath while they're moving. So pretty neat. They've got a blood capacitor. Random whale fact that I learned this week by accident. What do you think the oldest whale lifespan that it would detect it is? Yes, yes. 15? I would say like 60 to 100, somewhere. Okay, there's a bowhead whales have longest longevity amongst whales. 211 year old whale. If we don't kill them first. And if you want to know whale facts, you should be watching the extraordinary attorney woo because there's whale facts galore from the extraordinary attorney. Apparently the bowheads have a gene duplication somewhere that slows cell division that they think is tied into, they're still looking into why, how it is. They managed to find one there. That they live longer than other whales to begin with, but 211 years. So long. All right, Justin, what do you have to talk about? I've got just good news. Let's get through this show with some good news. Great. Wait, why is it? Hey, can I ask you, why is it always, when it comes to the part where I'm gonna do things, nobody else gets this. All right, let's get through the animal corner. That's cause I go faster, Justin. Let's go. All right, well, that could be true. I'm planning on going quickly through my stories at the end. Just good news. You get a new segment that finds the silver lining in the mercury laden drinking water and otherwise perfectly good story well and offers you the first sip. Just good news, bird population addition. According to the once every four year state of the world's birds report, half of all bird species are not in decline globally. Seven out of eight are not being threatened with extinctions. So that's good news. Using data from the International Union of Conservation of Nature report found that 51% of bird species worldwide do not have declining populations. Roughly 87% are not considered threatened with extinction. Things that, things the birds making it a man's world need to do to stay off these threatened lists. Few tips for our feathered friends out there. Avoid high growth, unsustainable agriculture areas and logging, places like the rainforest. Also avoid invasive species and climate change and other human activities. And you'll be fine when compared to the past. Avoid climate change. Yeah, and so this all sounds good. Like a bunch of these birds are fine. So they compared it to years past bird life international which has decades of survey data. Said there are now 2.9 billion fewer individual birds in North America than there were in 1970. An estimated drop of 29%. I don't think that's good. Oh, okay, European Union, European Union. Has seen a net loss of around 600 million birds of roughly 18% of the bird population since 1980. Both cases, the losses are most acute among long distance migrants and farmland birds. So city birds apparently doing fine. The ones that stick around like, wait, we got pigeons and crows and seagulls. This is why you're not supposed to let your dog off leash in shore bird habitat is because the migrating birds will get scared away, not store enough food and not make their migration. And why you should keep your cats indoors? So just more than half aren't declining though. So that's still good news. That's bad, Justin. That's bad. Just more than half. Cities of ancient Maya, this is cities of ancient Maya. The Maya. New story, okay. My new story, my Mesoamericans, long the subject of speculation, Google Mayan collapse and you will likely come across a convincing argument for why the Mayan society collapsed in the ninth century. And in fact, you may even find 80 convincing arguments because there've been a lot. And despite being convincing, they are at least all mostly wrong on a sliding scale between mostly wrong and completely wrong. First of all, foremost, because despite the fact that the Mayan society collapsed, it also didn't so much collapse as it was a reorganization of increasingly decentralized power structures that then went their own way. And it wasn't so much a societal collapse as just evolution of society over time. But also because many of the theories predate the bulk of our archeological understanding of Mayan culture, revealing theory was agricultural failure of a population that expanded and they couldn't make enough food for everybody. And so there was just starvation and climate change and a drought hit them and just wiped them out. But we now know that this was a society of farmers who were the most advanced agriculture lists in the world at the time and had a knowledge of climate trends and engaged in massive scale land management that prevented mass starvation, even in severe drought conditions because they've been at this for a very long time. They knew actually how to live in harmony with the environment and anticipate things better than apparently modern humans are able to grasp. But beneath the soil surface has been discovered an unexpected danger, mercury pollution. And a review on frontiers of environmental science researchers conclude that this pollution is due to frequent use of mercury and mercury containing products by the Maya in the classic period, which is between 200 and a year, 250 year, 1100. Population is in places so heavy that even today it can pose an environmental health hazard for the unwary archeologist. So apparently the mercury was very concentrated in Cinnabar, which is I guess this thing that you can make red pigment out of. And red pigment was very popular amongst the Mayans and they put it on everything. It was all over the place. And they actually found, they've discovered vessels that contained liquid mercury. Well, it's room temperature mercury, just liquid mercury and like they were collecting it. And what's also interesting is that they were finding that this material also didn't, the Cinnabar didn't grow in the main territories of the Mayans. So this was also more examples of ancient long-distance trade routes. But yeah, the toxic effect threshold for mercury in sediments is defined as one part per million where they found at the site, what is it, Tikal, 17.16 parts per million. So 17 times what is considered the toxic threshold in one location. They found mercury pollution in the soil almost every major Mayan site. Authors conclude that the Maya, ancient Maya frequently Cinnabar and mercury containing paints and powders for decoration and that the mercury could have leached from everything from belongings to how they painted floors and patios and walls and the ceramics and everything. And that's how it got into there. And they also point out there's an interesting, the last, one of the, considered one of the last Mayan rulers of Tikal where that concentration was so high, ruled around year 810, which is also when a lot of people think Mayan society collapsed, even though they're exactly collapsed. He is depicted in frescoes as being pathologically obese, which obesity is a known effect of a metabolic syndrome, which can be caused by chronic mercury poisoning, along with all sorts of other effects that can come with being affected. So yeah, you can have impaired vision, tremors, liver problems, paralysis, mental health issues. All of this can be associated. So add one more wrinkle to the, why the Mayan's collapsed story, which isn't also correct. Is it exactly? There's a story. It's not an exact story. Something happened. It could be responsible for why though, like why reorganization was important. If you're living in a society where the king is mercury poisoned, which has happened a few times, it happened in China too. And may have happened in the United States. Actually, Lincoln was taking a lot of mercury for depression, right? You know, and kids love mercury. It's the liquid mercury, it's so fun to do it. It's just fun. It's just so much fun, yeah. Oh, what is that? I got one last story real quick. There was a study on the molecular age, I guess, of people compared to the physical age. The aging clock with biometric data that they can sort of put on you and say, you're five years older than your age, you're five years younger or whatever it is. They found that quality of life, which is largely overlooked from the scientific study, was a major contributor to this biological aging, biometric aging. And loneliness was one of the key factors. In fact, in fact, because, okay, so aging and acceleration, this is people who are having strokes early, liver and lung disease early, all these sorts of physical problems where they seem to be aging at an accelerated pace was highest amongst people who lived alone, who were unmarried, who didn't have a lot of friends. So if you wanna live longer, make some friends and get married and have a family or whatever if you wanna do that, but at least go hang out with your buddies at the very least. It was actually worse. I had no way to have a social life, yeah. It was, and if you think, ah, it's not worth it, but I still can all just live healthy, it was worse than smoking. Wow. Chronic cigarette smoking was bad, but it wasn't as bad as not smoking and living an unsatisfactory life or an unsatisfied life or an unsocial life. I would also argue then that bullying and excluding is akin to physical pain, just to give somebody, right? So like, it's doing physical harm, yeah. Yeah, sorry, not pain, but yeah, harm. So that's kind of the flip side of this that I think is an important piece is like keeping people from making friends and not being friendly can do real harm. So be a friend, be an ally. I'd love to know whether or not in this study, I mean, do virtual relationships. So there are so many people who are at home and the pandemic was part of that, but we found connection over the internet. We found streaming communities where you have a chat room or you know, you find people that you don't see face-to-face, but you're still having social interaction. So I wonder what the difference. So this was a study of 11,000 Chinese adults and the reason I point that out is because there may be cultural significance to that feeling of unaccomplishment life or that the depressive feeling that may not any more, maybe in a more individualistic society might not be as present. I don't know. It seems like loneliness is loneliness, all around the world. Loneliness is loneliness, but you can be lonely in a crowd, Kiki. Yeah, you can't be lonely in a crowd and that's not good. That's what, if you're not good, you can be lonely and satisfied, but you can also be lonely. But you can also be highly irritated in a crowd and have a great sense of well-being, home alone with a book you got at Barnes & Noble because now you're gonna go find one because now you know they exist again. Great. Yeah, but to Kiki's point, is somebody texting you and asking you how you liked that book? Does that create a social connection that then helps make you feel not alone? I would argue it does. We don't have the science behind that yet of how it impacts the same thing. But the other thing I also wanted to throw in there is that the social media that's allowed in China is also different. So it's a different experience being on social media in China. It might be stressful. It's stressful the self-monitoring of what you're putting out there through an authority and government. It is different, yeah. Yeah, just a different point. But the key there is being social. Finding life satisfaction in whatever way that means for you, that's important. I've got a couple of stories to finish out the show. Number one, epigenetic transmission across generations. Researchers at UC Santa Cruz, they looked at C. elegans, nice worms, not people, not mice, worms. They published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, their modification of a histone protein that changes the way DNA is packed in chromosomes. So we talked about those liquid chromosomes earlier. Well, sometimes they're wrapped around these proteins called histones. And when they're wrapped around the histones, it makes it hard for the translation, transcription to take place. And so certain genes appear less in the protein, in the proteome. And certain genes appear more based on how they're wrapped up in these epigenetic markers. The methylation is the key. So they looked at a particular mark called H3K27Me3, which is particular to a particular histone and a particular amino acid in a particular chromosome in the nematode worm, C. elegans. They erased it from some sperm. They got rid of that histone mark, this epigenetic mark in some sperm. And then they had egg and sperm come together. So you have egg that has the histone marker, you have sperm that's lacking the histone marker. And then they wanted to see what happened. Well, in the downstream first generation of offspring, it was, everything was based on tissues. So different tissues had different expressions of the markers. And this probably has to do with imprinting, where if you have two chromosomes, one of them gets turned on or turned off to be the chromosome that makes all of the proteins in particular cells in a tissue. So there was a kind of chimeric kind of effect through different tissues. But in that offspring generation, you had some genes that had this lack of a histone marker and some that did not, they had the egg's histone marker that was still in there. Anyway, they went down another generation to the grand babies of the original worms. And they found that some of the sperm cells continued to carry that lack of a histone marker. And so genes were appearing as proteins where they originally didn't. And what they're suggesting is that this is a particular mechanism by which we might see that transgenerational transmission of epigenetic changes. And so like we've talked about on the show before, this is potentially epigenetic changes that happen during an organism's life. So for example, you're under a lot of food stress, and that changes the way that your stress hormones are being released in your body. And so that changes the cellular levels of various metabolic pieces. And then eventually it leads to an epigenetic change. If that makes it into your sperm or your eggs, that mutation, that change can go on down the line. So once again, we're sorry, Lamarck, you were kind of right. Exactly, yeah. And so what they're looking at in this is that these are, it's not mammals, but these worm cells are animals. And so this isn't necessarily a worm-specific phenomenon, but they think it is a conserved feature of gene expression and development in animals. And that this work in the worms has great implications for other organisms. And we've of course seen the correlative in the, I think in Norwegian farm studies. The towns that kept like these insanely good records back in the 1600s or whatever. And yeah, if you're in it, show that the grandfather before puberty had experienced a time of famine or bounty that it had a predictable effect on the grandchildren through an epigenetic change of what they had experienced in there. Yeah, it didn't show, it didn't have a how. It just was all correlative, but fantastic data that showed that there was something in how you experienced the pre-pubescent years of life that affected your offspring's offspring. And this is, you know, this mechanism is potentially, if it's conserved across different animals in the animal kingdom, then this is a mechanism by which. A mechanism for, I love it when we find a mechanism. Mechanism, and my very last story for the night is even though it's nighttime where we are and we're going to bed, maybe not now, but Justin, hey, you're awake right now. You know, it doesn't matter. Try to get outside, everyone. We should really be trying to get outside. Science says, go outside. Research has just published a study using fMRI scans of volunteers to figure out what happens to the brain after people go for walks in different environments. They had 63 healthy adult volunteers. This is at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development. They had them fill out questionnaires related to how stressed out they were and other things. They had to perform a working memory task. Some of the stuff that they had to do was designed to induce social stress and make some of the participants kind of stressed out. But then they were like, oh, then go for a one hour walk. And some of the people got to go for a walk in a busy Berlin shopping district, and others got to go for a walk in Berlin's 3,000 hectare Grünwald forest in a natural environment. Yes. So, what do you think happened, everyone? The outside people had a better day. Yes. So, both places, they had to walk a particular route. And apparently from the fMRI scans, they showed the activity of the amygdala. And after a walk in the woods, the amygdala, which is like that stress center of your brain, was calmer. Go for a walk in the woods. Calm yourself down. We know this now because we've taken pictures fMRI scans of people who have gone for walks in the woods. And an hour walk is enough to calm the amygdala down. An hour? So there's this study. An hour walk for an hour? Yeah, they did, yeah. There's this thing called the Parks Prescription Program, which this is exactly about. Maybe they didn't have the, again, the mechanism or any of the specific changes in the brain when that started, but there was an understanding that being in nature helped the, not just the psychological, but the physiological state of a person. And so, yeah, so there are doctors out there that participate in the Parks Prescription Program where you can get written a prescription to go to a park. That is a real thing that you can get. And so, forest bays. Yeah, yeah, so this is definitely related to that. But we're talking about a park. We're not, these people weren't wandering around in an untamed forest of the Yukon where there's bears and stuff lurking around. It's a big park, but it's a cultivated park, yeah. You have to have the right kind of nature. There are lots of kinds of parks. Yeah, these people who took this forest walk, they had better attention afterwards and they had actually greater enjoyment of their walks than the people who had to walk in the busy shopping district. They, the people who took the urban walks, however, they didn't have an increase in their amygdala activity. So even though you might think that people would be like, how about in the city that their amygdala would be. Watch out for cars and things. Yeah, no. These people probably are used to being in cities and while they didn't maybe enjoy it as much as the people who were walking in the forest, it at least didn't increase their stress levels. It didn't increase the amygdala activity. So there's something else there, but it does definitely highlight the fact, highlight, it highlights this hypothesis that nature is better at reducing stress than urban environments. Okay, I would buy that. I think though in both cases though, my amygdala would be lower because after an hour of walking around pointlessly, I wouldn't even have it. It just, I've been walking and now I'm bored. The point is to be in nature. It's not pointless. Do you still have cell service in the nature? Oh boy. They weren't allowed to be on their cell phones either. They had to just be walking for an hour. That's a whole different study then. Then that's a, right. Because people get that phone separation anxiety thing. But it was fine for people in the forests. It really was. All right, well that does it for my stories for the show. Are we all good? Did we make it? I think so. I think so. Yeah, we did it. We did it. We did it everybody. Thank you for joining us for another episode of This Week in Science.

This Week in Science. This Week in Science is the end of the world. So I'm setting up a shop, got my banner unfurled. It says the scientist is in, I'm gonna sell my advice. Show them how to stop their robots with a simple device. I'll reverse global warming with a wave of my hand. And all this is coming your way. So everybody listen to what I say. I use the scientific method. This Week in Science. This Week in Science. This Week in Science. Science. Science. This Week in Science. This Week in Science. This Week in Science. Science. Science. I've got one disclaimer and it shouldn't be news. That what I say may not represent your view. Whatcha got there Blair? We're in the after show. Whatcha got there? Whatcha doing? Whatcha got there? They're doing Lego things? Are they toys? Whatcha got there? Yes, I'm muted. Yes, these are, this is a raccoon. Ooh, oh, I love it. Trash panda. Also, a brittle sea star. Ooh, that one's cool. Also, a Euromastix. Ooh, what's a Euromastix? It's a lizard. Special lizard. Here's a sand frog. That was previously shown. I like the sand frog. Yeah, yeah. And then we got, we got my macaw, the first one. We're doing really well. We're, yeah, how are you doing over there? We're getting there. What do you have? I have seven. I've got fishies. It's a Saddleback fish. Saddleback polar bear. Ooh, I love that. So, that's great. We're making progress. We're almost there. It's a lot of work. I bought 10 pounds of Legos off of Facebook Marketplace. That's awesome. Give me your Legos. And I just dig through them to make things. That's fun. That's gotta be a lot of fun. Yeah. Be creative and make the Lego animals. And everyone in the chat, you know why she's making these Lego animals. Do you not? You know what it's about. We're running out of time, but... Do you know? Have you heard? Have you listened? Oh, we've got a fada and a noodles typing furiously. Yes, Arn-Laure, out of boredom. Not out of boredom. Yeah, we should probably open a pre-order pretty soon. I have to double-check to see if inflation has changed our price point. Yeah. We'll see what the calendar manufacturers will be charging this year. Everything, prices are up. We'll see what things are. We've got to do some calculations and stuff. But you still need to make five more animals. No sweat. No sweat. I'll do the cover really soon. And then we'll at least have something for the pre-order situation. Yeah. David, huh? Yes, calendar. We do an annual Blair's Animal Corner twist calendar, in which Blair shows off her amazing artistic skills and creates original art for every month of the year. And this year it's a Lego calendar. Lego animals, it's going to be great. I swear. Next year I'm just going to draw with a pencil. But then you're like, oh, and suddenly I'm shading and I'm getting in, you really get into it with the pencil. Yeah. Yeah. But you haven't done that yet. Uh-uh. Yes. But Blair chooses the animals and she makes the calendar and we put fun science holidays on the calendar. We have twist broadcast days on the calendar. And then we let you order the calendars and then you can have a twist calendar in your home and also for certain Patreon sponsors. I believe we usually send original artwork. Maybe there will be, I don't know, Blair, can you give up your Lego animals this year? We'll have to see. We'll have to see. I still have almost all of last year's art that I can send out. So those are still an option as well. Those are pretty cool. And then, yeah, what I might do, so here's what I think I'm going to do. I haven't actually done it yet. So we'll see how it all goes. Because like almost every year when I finally try to finish a couple pieces, I'm like, hmm, actually. So I think I'm going to take pictures of these out in nature in a habitat that looks appropriate for where they're supposed to be. So then my question is, so I think what I might do is I might put the picture in a shadow box and put the Lego in front of it. I like it, yes. But it would have to fit in the shadow box, which some of these will and some of these won't. Like the R Actoon and the Polar Bear would fit and the McCall would fit. The Brittle Star. The Frog and the Euromastix won't fit, which is fine because those are my favorite. I see how it is. Have a good night, Bada. Thank you. Flying out is saying in the Discord chat, I'm going to wait a bit. Got to have more confidence next year is going to happen. Oh, geez. I think this is something we can predict. If it doesn't, you might as well buy a lot of calendars. Well, you know, if you prescribed to the Jewish calendar, next year already happened. Oh, that's right. Happy, what, Rosh Hashanah? Shana Tovah. Shana Tovah. James Salisman in the chat is asking, what's the minimum number of Lego bricks necessary to make account? Okay, first picture is spherical Lego. No, I would say four and you would turn them upside down. You'd have, you'd have one of those, one of those, the typical rectangle. And then two little two peg ones underneath her feet and then one of the fours up top offset a little bit as a head, but upside down. So the remaining under pegs can look like an udder. That's what I would say four. It'd be the minimum number of Lego bricks necessary for account. Happy, what is it, 5783, I think is the year. How many episodes we've done? No. No, that's the year in the Hebrew calendar. Yes. James Salisman was just asking, how much to commission a Lego Basilisk Thuringiensis Israeli, Israeli, Israeli lenses. Looking for pictures that would be, you'd have to find a good picture to, let me see, base it off them. Let me see what this looks like. There we go. Oh, the ads at the top of this are ridiculous. For some reason, there's like mosquito dunks, six count natural mosquito killer. They're doughnuts. They're like mosquito killing doughnuts. They're showing up in the ads for this. Oh yeah, I see them, mosquito dunks. So here's the thing. I have not previously done bacteria on the calendar. I've only done Animalia on the calendar. Yes. That would be a different, a bacterial. You know, you love the invertebrates. That would be a different calendar though. Well, so, so I do, I always have invertebrates on the calendar. Did you do a slug one year? Yes, I did a banana slug. I did the brittle star. That's my invertebrate this year. I did velvet ants last year. I did, I did a few invertebrates the year of the stained glass. I did a dung beetle and a rhinoceros beetle. Yep. I did a peacock spider the first year. Beetle, beetle, beetle. So I always have invertebrate. I have a list. So I like, I have categories. So I have to make sure that I have, I have a fish. I have an amphibian, a reptile, a bird and a mammal. I have to make sure I have at least one invertebrate and I have an extinct animal. Yes. And then the rest is just for fun. And then, and then here's the only one that I have is original. There it is. But you still haven't framed it. Excuse me. It's just hanging out loose. No, no, no, I just had to go pull it. It's on the, it's magnetized onto the refrigerator door. On the refrigerator, there's so much water around there. Are you serious? You should frame that. Wait, but this is where everybody, this is in the room where everybody sees it. Put it on a refrigerator frame with magnets then. Oh, fine. It just, it will get ruined. I'm serious. If that gets wet that first year, that's all water soluble. But is it? Uh-oh. Yeah. Oh, I just set it down into coffee. Oh man. Oh, look, you want to know how to, how to forge Blair's signature. I'm not going to say it, but you buy a piece of art and you can do it all day long. Um, I have a secret for you, Justin. That's not my legal signature anymore. Oh yeah. This is my art signature. That is my art signature. That is not my signature. Look at the date on that. 15. 2015. Also, I sent you another piece of art. So, uh-huh. Me? Yeah, it was in a shadow box. It was the second year I sent you something. Where is that? Wait, this was in a shadow box at some point, I think. Uh-uh. Nope. Nope. What is it? The year where I had the painting in the background and I had the paper cutouts on the front. I don't remember which one I sent you. What is it? Because I don't have it. I can, I can look at the ones that exist. And you can tell me if any of them sound familiar. I think I sent Kiki the blue-bellied roller, I want to say, is what I sent you, right? Was it the roller? I don't know. I think I'll find it in the box. I wanted the mammoth, but I think I just bought it. In the box. Well, at least you just moved. So, I'll forgive you for that one, G. I have like 30 something back in the old country. I've got like 30 plus paintings and a whole bunch of other art. Yeah, so it's gotta be there. But, but I wanted the mammoth, but I don't think I got it. Somebody else got it. So, the 2015 year I got the zebra finch. Right. Yeah. So, it's, uh, so that was for the 2016 calendar. So, I need the- The dragonfly. Is it a dragonfly? Did I get the dragon- Yes. Yes, you did. That's the one in the shadow box. I sent you the dragonfly. I still have it. It's just, it didn't come with me because it was in this frame and really hard to bring with me. Oh, how dare you. Oh, nasty. Yeah, that's right. We need the Sotheby's. Shame. Shame. I don't know where all my art is. Actually. Your art is- It's all over the world. It's all over the world. I think, uh, Paul Disney. It's made one of- American Pika Shadow Box. Paul Disney has at least one. Yeah. I think he has several. He has a collection. And a penilla- A penilo. A pillow with a banana slug on it. Yes. Those pillows, the lumbar pillows are really good. Oh, the pika, pika pika. Pika pika. Here is it. Pika. 2018 calendar. It's cute. Oh yeah, the 2018 was the coloring book. That was a fun one. 2019. Oh yeah, it was the pointillism. Here's 2017. I've liked all of the different styles. They're all so fun. When did- I don't remember making the pika. It's in so many years now. Oh yeah. So my parents have the red-eyed tree frog and the mammoth. Oh, that's nice. The mammoth is a good one. I gave away the chameleon to someone who used to own a chameleon. I gave the bear to my friend who's a bear keeper. That makes sense. Yeah, where's so many good old arts? When did I make a pika? I don't remember that. I think- Do you remember all of your animals? No, it's- there's not one. I think maybe it's a rabbit. Not a rabbit. And Paul Disney's confused? I don't know. It's very specific to be confused. I know. I think it's a rabbit. I think it's this one. Here. Share. Share z's. Share. Share screen, please. Here we go. Yeah. It won't let me. You have to do it. Add to stream. There we go. That's where you logged out. Funny. Oh, November 2020. Okay, I can figure that out, Paul Disney. Okay. That's the information I need. Where's 2020? Oh, 2020 is when I move to- See, this is bad. I need to put all this in the same place. We should make a Google folder for each year that has the art uploaded. Oh, there it is. Oh, of course. I did make a pika. It sure did. Yeah. Here we go. Open a new window. That's really funny. Did I? This is in the see-through situation. Don't show these tips again, please. Not a shadow box, right? There we go. Not a shadow box. It was supposed to be stained glass. Yes. That one. Those were cute. Yeah. I like the stained glass ones. That is a nice one. So many fun calendars. Those were the hardest ones, I think. The stained glass. I got such a like- I got a huge callus on my finger because I exacto-knifed all those by hand. It came out really well, though, so it was worth it. Yeah, I like it. I think it did come out. It's a beautiful, colorful calendar. We have a shower curtain made of that stuff on Zazzle. Yeah, so if you missed the calendars, a lot of this art is also on the Zazzle. We do have a Zazzle store. If you go to twist.org, you can click on the Zazzle store. Yeah, I have to put this year's stuff in there, actually. I don't have any of the 2022 art in there yet. More fun. Yeah, you need to sit down and do a Zazzle session. I do. Calendar first. Always fun. Yeah, exactly. But I do really like- here. I really like this one. I think this one would be really good for some art. Or some Zazzle stuff. Super tooth tiger. Yeah. I love doing the layering of the paint. It was really fun. I think this one also would be really good on some stuff. Oh, I liked that one. Yeah. What is that? The lionfish. It's a leafy sea dragon. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's a leafy sea dragon. Okay. Now I see it. This one. Tommy Frogmouth. That was a good one. My favorite. That is my favorite bird. They were little mammals that survived the dinosaur killing asteroid. Were they pikas? What? They were little mammals. I thought they were like hyrax relatives. Hyraxes. Yeah. Look at this silly emi. Hi. I'm an emi. Fun art. Yeah. So much fun art. Weak, weak, weak. Weak, weak, weak. All right. That's enough of that. Oh, everyone. The after show. I think it's going to go because 1030 we went long on the show show. For the show show. Oh, we did, didn't we? Yeah. So long show. It's the after show. Blair's got art coming. It's so cool. Love to see that. Can't wait to see how they all come out. I'm very excited about that. So I hope everyone is excited about that. Out there. More wonderful Blair art. Yep. But to do good creative art, you need a restful night sleep. So say good night Blair. Good night Blair. Say good morning Justin. Good morning Justin. Good night. Good night. Good night everyone. Thank you for watching the show. Thank you for being here with us yet again. And we do look forward to seeing you again next week. In the meantime, make sure you go forest bathing. Get help with that stress reduction and improve your attention. And talk to your friends. Yeah, friends are good. And stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay curious. And just mercury. And don't ingest mercury. We'll see you again next week. Thank you.

I'm your host Bart van der Zee and today is a very special episode with Three great guests, which is a new one for the podcast It's all about Orange County drums and percussion. It's part two. The first one was great with Michael Kelly But today we are joined back again by Jared Fallon who is big OCDP Restorer fan buff on everything OCDP. We have Corey Manskey who was a Builder from 01 to 04 and we have Nick Turner who was a builder from 2000 to 2003. Welcome to the podcast guys Thanks for having us. Thanks for having us. Glad to be here. This is awesome guys I mean Orange County if people didn't hear the first episode I recommend it that one covers like the history of the company Lot of just you know, I don't want to say basic details but it really goes into that that everything you'd want to know about the origins of the company and Jared Actually posted something on social media asking for Questions that we might have missed which you guys had a lot of questions that you wanted to hear from us on this very very popular episode so I've asked Jared to kind of co-host this with me and he is going to help Drive this episode a little bit and and kind of cue up some questions for our builders from Orange County here So Jared, why don't you take it away and kind of let us know what people wanted to know that we missed in the first episode Yeah, let's let's dive in I guess we'll just start with Nick and then Corey can follow when and how did you start? So I started working at the shop in to it was like late 2000. I graduated high school in early 2000 I moved to San Diego and I was already like very aware of the brand like all my favorite bands I would read the liner notes and their CDs Everybody was thanking Daniel and John at Orange County and I was like I love the way those drums sound like I need I need to get in there. I need to figure out some more. I was a little punk kid from a small town in Arizona I couldn't afford them, but I was like I need to get close to this So I moved to San Diego and I started like going to the shop on Saturdays It was about an hour and a half drive for me and I took like the first time I went I took my Tom a Rockstar rack Tom in and I was like can you guys re-edge this for me and like I met John I met Steve and they're like, oh, yeah you know John took my my rack Tom in the back and like edged it and I ended up doing the whole kit for me and The bandals playing at the time I ended up moving to Orange County and I needed a job And I was just in there on a Saturday like hanging out and I was like you guys ever hiring and John's like well. Yeah, you know, can you hold a palm sander? You know, can you do this? Yeah, a hundred percent. He's like, all right show up on show up on Monday You know it a 10 10 a.m. Or whatever it was like kind of like bankers hours So I came in at 10 o'clock and the first thing was they had a they had a kit all packed up And I'm certain I the reason I got the job. I had a pickup truck And they're like we have to we have this drum kit. We have to deliver to West Coast drum today And it was like an eight piece. I remember it was like it was this Bad-ass stained green with a high gloss on it and it was like 8 through 16 toms And I forgot the 8 inch Tom at the shop my first job One job I went all the way to West Coast drum I dropped it off and like got back and like John was just standing there with the box and he's like You need to go back to West Coast drum center like you forgot this And so I'm pretty sure that like I said the reason I hired me is I had a pickup truck It saved like, you know, like someone else like doing two or three trips at the time But I was in there and it was kind of a thing of like, yeah, you know if this works out You know, if you're if you're not an idiot and that was kind of how they told me like if you're not an idiot You don't screw things up really badly. Like, you know, let's see how it works out. We'll hire you and that was in 2000 and Yeah, they never they didn't never let me go. I mean, I ended up I had I left all my own terms, you know later later date, but That was my start with the company. That's awesome Jared before we move on to Corey Can you remind people like what was like the heyday of like when Orange County was the most popular drum Brand in America in the world, you know what I mean? What what air? Yeah, I was uh, I was just about to say I think Nick would probably be a what I would say would be the height because if I just look at when Blink 182 came out with enema the state not that there weren't big records before that But I think really when blink 182 came out enema it kind of just blew up So I remember as a kid writing an email going like hey I want what Travis wants like everybody else. How long would it take and the answer was? Yeah, two years Something like crazy like that. I would say that would be the height right there like crazy 99 to like at least 2002. I don't think anybody was pumping out or making drums or in demand like Orange County was Wild man. Good time to be there. What about you Corey? When how'd you get your start? Well? so I moved to California in October of 2001 But I knew that I needed a job I was living in Arizona at the time and we had come out to Arizona. We had come out to California to kind of you know, hey, where should we live kind of thing and Randomly I had run into Josh Lam At the NAMM show he's wearing an Orange County shirt and I you know like Nick I knew about Orange County because I loved 311 and you know Anyway, I was obviously very familiar with Orange County because every drummer in 2001 was very aware of Orange County drum and and I Just called randomly and I was just like, you know here you guys hiring kind of like Nick said You know here you guys hiring and I spoke to John on the phone and I literally called that number like off of like the business card that I randomly got from from Josh like at the NAMM show anyways and And in my former life, I was a video editor in TV news in Arizona. And so You know, the only thing I really knew To do was when you go to a job interview You wear a suit. So So I didn't live in California yet I knew that, you know, I knew that I was about to move right and I knew that I wanted to have a job And I got here and so I literally drove to the shop and Santa Anna in a suit And I got out of the car and walked in and I think like John We got our wires crossed about what time I like the you know The interview was supposed to take place and I missed him by like a half an hour So I think that's right. And so like I literally stood in the lobby like, you know, like a pallbearer Like stand right totally standing in the lobby in a suit and the crazy thing is is like, you know Through the I mean, I'm standing next to Travis's kid, right? And because it was up on that riser Right in the lobby there and I'm like looking it was awesome There was two snare racks or three snare racks in the lobby and I'm like looking at the snare drums but like after ten minutes like that got really old because I was just standing there, right and So I kind of like I remember I would sort of like look into the shop sort of like periodically, you know Because I was just like, you know, I think in my brain. I thought that you know I thought that place was gonna be like the size of a Walmart and it wasn't you know I was just like I was like this is like a storage unit And so like I I remember like seeing a couple guys in there Of course everybody's you know in you know shorts and t-shirts and sawdust head to toe in the whole nine yards and Nick I'm pretty sure like you were the one like if not the only definitely the first person like come up to me and be like Hey, hey, bro. Like you want to like sit down or do you want to drink a water or something? You know and I you know and they were all looking at me like I was there from like the IRS to audit the place or something Yeah, we thought we were all going to jail and Corey showed up like it was yeah Yeah, it was crazy. So I I did have an interview and I think even John, you know now knowing John I guarantee that like when he saw me in When he saw me in a suit, I'm sure he was just like what in the heck is happening like and yeah got a job So yeah crazy Yeah, as he showed up in his the the shorts that everybody knows as John's shorts and the Always sleeveless t-shirt was like his on a nice day. He would tuck his t-shirt into his super short shorts That was shop formal if John had his shirt tucked in you knew that it was a formal day Man, but you weren't wrong to like I mean I feel like you know to show up to a job interview in a suit There's like, you know on paper you were right, but it's just like you know You don't know unless you know right unless you show up and see what it's it made for a good story Yeah, a hundred percent. I think it kind of like from maybe Bart and I perspective from like Looking at the website and what you you see some of these artists like Travis and all these guys playing the kits You would never think it is just a handful of guys in a small shop Just like walking around in shorts making you know, you would never ever expect that at all I felt like the pedigree of what the company was at at that time Well, I would never have guessed it's just like oh Okay, you can talk and walk. All right. You're hired for sure I wonder if it's a little bit of like if people think that it's so prestigious. They don't even bother to reach out I mean it honestly kind of took you guys some guts to like reach out and try and sign up for a job at the time I mean in full honesty like I moved to California with the objective of like I was I was such a huge fan of Travis at that Point just like of his playing. It was the first time I'd ever heard The sounds that his drums made and then like the way that he played When I moved to California, it was a goal that I like set for myself of like I'm gonna move to California and I'm gonna meet Travis Barker through like meeting or the guys at Orange County Kind of like how it started was like I asked about Adrienne Young giving lessons. I saw no doubt. I'm like, does he give lessons or you know? Like someone there someone's like, oh, he doesn't even know what he plays like he could never teach it to someone else But they're like Travis Barker gives lessons And so I mean like two of my huge like my biggest goals, I mean, I'm 40 years old This was I was 17 years old at the time Two of my biggest goals meeting Travis and then like I actually took lessons with Travis at the time when I worked there By the time I was 18 years old and it was the thing of like at the time I was like, oh, this is rad Now that I'm 40 and I look back on it. I'm like I Was something that was something I did I used to write checks to Travis Barker that I'm not even sure that he ever cashed You know like it was And it was and I didn't know the connection was Orange County and that's that's I didn't know he taught lessons That's crazy. I've never heard that. Yeah, I know for facts I blew my mind like Alon Rubin you think now angels and airwaves nine inch nails at the time I won't say it was Fenex TX maybe or I know a couple of the bands But he took lessons from Travis and I think Alon was one of the earlier younger guys to be endorsed. Oh, yeah Yeah, so I thought I thought that was mind-blowing like wait Travis plays in all these bands is like a megastar But is still giving out lessons Travis Travis was charging me $40 for an hour And I was taking lessons at the same time as Alon and like literally the the famous Stars and Shaps warehouse He was teaching lessons out of there He just had a drum kit set up in an office and like I would walk in like dude before me to walk out It's like I did see you next week like later And I would literally write a $40 check and I mean at the point that they were the biggest thing on MTV at that point It was it was insane and literally the connection was Orange County and that's that's crazy percent, you know, yeah Unbelievable was I mean it so he was a good teacher. Oh The thing is is that I had I had people like back in the day that were Like one once I learned Travis's background like his like all the rudiments and stuff like his marching background I had guys that didn't like Blink 182 that I would take to see Travis play and they're like What the hell like one one friend that's always stuck out to me He said Travis is a robot built by the government to make all other drummers feel inadequate And I mean The dude was the dude was a he was a badass I mean, he would do like like his snares would come back with like a hitting pattern like this and you can literally pour milk Into where his hitting pattern was and it would hold liquid like wow. It was it was insane. Yeah Yeah, dude with easy And he's only gotten better. Yeah, right So like run us through what it would be like if say if any of us came through back in 2001 or 2002 I think it was always, you know, one of my favorite parts about working there I think was it was always a curveball you I think that none of us none of us ever knew what to expect Like, you know, we you know to answer your question about like day to day It's like Nick kind of touched on it already like we show up and you know, we'd all There was work orders everywhere and all of us just sort of grabbed a work order and kind of went to town And you know, you had your you know, your people who were Edging drums you had your people who were sanding drums. You had your people that were sanding vents You had your people who were spraying the insides of the drums. You had your people who were wrapping the drums I said a long time ago that you know, we were We were like a family like we were like brothers. We were like a gang, you know, and you know I would say that that translated like, you know, when we were at Nam and stuff like at the booth like it was us against the world and it really felt like that and Just on a quick side note, like it's it's no surprise to me that like, you know, there's like 15 of us that like You know, we keep in touch. I mean we all we could all reach out to any of us and Immediately just be like it's like right there. So but I think like the day to day again You know, there were work orders everywhere and things were already at a certain stage of completion And we knew that we needed to dive in and we typically knew when that was like do buy and who it was going to blah, blah, blah But then I think, you know Every once in a while, you know, you pull an order and you look at the name on the top and you'd be like who you know And or you know, somebody would come around the corner and they'd say Such and such and so and so is coming to pick up their drums today and you're just like Really like, you know, Ray Luzier walks in Lou dog walks in Gil Sharon walks in I mean like it was Like hitters man. Yeah, and it's funny because in nickel back me up on this for those of us that really needed the money And I was one of those people There was an option to work Saturdays. So I worked Monday through Friday and then I came in on Saturdays and You know Saturdays were that was actually the sweet spot because that's when like Lou dog would like roll in there at noon and Literally like boy, I like he would bring like ten pizzas and like we would you know We're all just sitting around like building screws and like sanding and like, you know Some people may have smoked some stuff and and and then you know eating pizza like it was like that was crazy to me awesome It's like heaven. Yeah, I mean did you guys like it sounds like you guys had this like work like you said We're all in this together like sometimes with huge companies you kind of you can care less I'm assuming working for a huge mega, you know a drum company any company You don't care as much because you're just kind of a cog You know or you're just one of but you guys seem like really a family to everyone dude like we all Absolutely cared so much About what we were doing and what we were making with all the employees that worked there There was never like a dude that was like an outcast or like oh this guy We just let's put him in the corner and like he can polish like bad screws all day Like we were like Corey said like it was like we're like like we went to Nam show like we were like a gang like we all We rode together. It was do or die. I mean we all wanted we knew what we were putting it I mean, I think that we kind of knew what we were putting out We didn't understand the full impact like that what it would be today But yeah, everyone that worked there we all we all had each other's back and there was never like a dude Like I said like oh, this is the scrub that like he works in the closet or like, you know, whatever it was very much Like all for one and one for all like we're all we're all doing this and we we kind of had an idea You know what we're doing at that point now except Corey did show up every day in his suit though I always refer to that as like I called it bring your Corey to work day because by the time by the time John showed up Like I had like started talking to Corey and like we both found out like he said he moved from Arizona I grew up in Arizona and he worked on like the news broadcast that I watched as a child And there was a newscaster was like super hot Tara Hitchcock And so like me and Corey bonded over that and so by the time he got like hired on it was like a dude I'm like bro like remember that day you sat in the back of the shop and like we just talked about Tara Hitchcock until John Shut up for your interview That right there what other company like no the company has something like that or just that vibe where you can do that I mean, yeah, I guess like moving on in regards to the drums So like you said everybody really cared about what they were doing and really put in the effort And I mean the drums speak for themselves But in regards to that, you know, were you allowed to build your own drums? And if so, what did you guys build? Yeah, so I don't know if your recollection of this is the same as my Nick but John was always super cool about letting us build stuff and I would say That we got like a discount lots of the times he would say, you know Come in on a Saturday when it isn't a full crew and we aren't working on You know all the stuff to pay the bills and you know, he would say like You know, obviously the labor is free like if you if you were to you know, buy your homies lunch They'll like they'll work on your drums and blah blah blah. You just pay me for parts I that that's what I seem to remember and like Like just like Nick like I couldn't afford Orange County drums when I moved to California and I was a pearl guy when I moved to California and one of the things that I did Quickly like soon after I started there was I rewrapped my big pearl kit and I'll never forget that weekend like I'll never forget coming in on the weekend and like it was exciting to like pull it all apart and like You know have, you know, somebody re-edged and like and it's funny I still have that kit and I'll never sell it Because it has those magic the Orange County The plyo flatness and the bearing edges and it's the real authentic crushed Glass sparkle and it's purple and it's dope. I'll just never get it. Yeah. Yeah, eventually I did Get to the point where I purchased I purchased two snare drums and I paid for parts on another snare drum because While someone Dean was Filing the snare bed he gouged he gouged the outside of a 13 I was a 13 guy that back then It was a 7 by 13 30 ply with three vents and it's like a like a gray satin stain So you can see the wood grain over the whole thing and so and he's and he's just going crazy on the snare bed And he slipped and so there's a gouge on the side and since it was a stain Um, they they were like whatever they chucked it. So I pulled it out of the dumpster and I That's the truth and I walked into John's office and I was just like hey, so somebody Dean Scratch this thing and Like can if I if I buy the throw-off and the hoops and the heads and the tube lugs like can I build it? He's just like sure so I did and I still have that snare drum, too. Oh, that's awesome Nick, did you build anything or I kind of know the answer but uh for viewers Did you build anything? Right? Yeah, I mean like honestly at the time I mean being you know, I was as young as I was I I I straight up couldn't afford, you know orange county at the time So the first the the first thing that I did that was actually was and it was a cool thing You know like how Cory was saying like do the labor on your time was like we always had like We called them abortions Where like something would get messed up like a a firewood slip and come down the side of something Um, there was a floor tom that was built built for some 41 That had a a bad screw was drilled wrong in it and that it got like put on the shelf A rack tom that was made for Adrian young kind of was the same thing Um, I grabbed those two shells and put them together and I asked John I was like hey man, like, you know if I if I fix these You know, can I put them together and he's like, yeah, you know do the work like pay for the parts same thing And then on the kick drum, I wasn't sure what I was going to do So we had these birch shells that used to sit up on top of our router room We cut two of them down and John like fuse them together. We had this gnarly glue I can't remember the name of it But John like literally fused these two birch shells It was like a 14 and a 14 and then we cut it down to make it 20 inches deep So as a 22 by 20 And then we wrapped it like this gnarly gray fur And I just paid for parts on that the rest of the drums I mean they were going to get thrown away And so that was the first kit that I had that was like orange county that like I built You know, my homies were there Cory, whatever, you know, we all worked on it max was there Max actually was one of the first dudes that that played it the day that it was done But it was all just kind of like the reject stuff that we put together Um, but yeah, I mean, I honestly at the time I couldn't afford to just straight up be like I want to build a gnarly 40 ply snare drum. It wasn't my like I didn't get to build what I wanted to build But I got to build stuff to say I was playing orange county and I mean that was That was good enough for me at the time It shows initiative that you guys would do that I think any boss in any industry would be like you want to come in and Do what you're doing for work, but on your own time for yourself and get better at what you're doing I mean, I think that's a pretty cool thing. It's it shows passion. It shows initiative I think people bosses would like that, you know, and and you're there's no waste You're using stuff that was going to go, you know get in the dumpster or something. Yeah, right Yeah, I think it also kind of segues to my next question Like how did you guys come up with some of these? designs, uh, whether it be for a customer or the nam And I think it kind of goes back to if you guys were just grabbing the rejects and building stuff for yourself I'm sure a lot of ideas were maybe generated Um, or somebody came up with something that had never been done before just on their own time Um, maybe you could shed some light on that. Yeah, I mean You know for sure a lot of it was like once we started doing I mean, you know By the time I came along like, you know powder coating was a big thing and like a lot of other drum companies weren't doing that A lot of ours was like, you know, like, okay, like what finish can I put with some powder coating that's going to be like different whatever And then once we started getting into like the crazy stuff of like, okay, we've done this We've done powder coating. We've done everything we can do there Like that's when like Jeremy had the snare that he put like all the spikes on like the one inch like gnarlier than the vinny Paul snare It had like all the one inch but like you literally couldn't play it because it would rip your legs apart But like we started getting into like I remember like your this was like when I first started, um You know knowing like Travis like his love of Cadillacs I had gone to a junkyard and got a bunch of like the Cadillac emblems Like off the hoods of cars, you know, like they used to have the emblems that was on the wire on the top Like on the roof or the hood I started trying to figure out a way like I took one and drilled it and tapped it To one of our screws and I'm like, oh look if you put a 20 ply screw Through the front of a kick drum hoop, you could mount the Cadillac emblem On the front of you know, the kick drum And I I had some ideas that were a lot more crazy like crazier than that and Daniel at the time was like, dude like don't Don't let Travis see any of this or think know that we're you know Because if we do this, he's gonna want the next thing But it was like stuff like that just like oh we can mount What if we mounted a Cadillac thing, you know on the drum And then like Jeremy was I always felt Jeremy was like super Berman Was super like innovative of like, oh, let's take like he built the one that he took a famous stars and straps belt buckle And like in laid it into the side of a snare drum So like the badges on one side the belt buckle was laid in on the other side And it was just it was kind of like what's the craziest thing that we can do like what's What's something that no one else is going to come up with and it was always like spitball ideas in like One out of every ten Would stick of like, okay, let's try that that's a thing that's something we think is and also like I think that I think that like, you know back then the company's mantra was Our only limitation is your imagination and that was like on the catalog and it's funny because I don't I couldn't tell you who came up with that But I can tell you that all of us absolutely bought into that like You know, I mean everything and and and you know, even I think when the company started to make Good money that also gave us other options. Like John started to Be able to source you know other stuff to wrap drums in and and You know, like we did a kit that was authentic Wilson tennis ball material like from like I'm not talking to like a knockoff like stuff that Emulates I'm talking like He you know, he had the buying power or whatever to like get a a sheet of that stuff Like, you know, and so and I mean, you know, obviously we we I mean you already said for nick But like we did the Louis Vuitton stuff. We did leather. We did How's hide like you name it and it's like we started to have access to stuff because a we had the buying power would be We had the imagination. We just started to make crazy stuff and you also mentioned Jeremy and What like he was always so innovative like, you know, the volcano drum, which was you know What was it like a 13 on the bottom and a 14 on the top stuff like that is is is insane Like it's insane to build that stuff and and what I think is so crazy is that that that specific idea We were all just like What like Oh, so you're gonna build a 20 play on the outside of the and then and then we wrapped it like in this Walnut burnish and like had it like high gloss and it was dope I mean, some of that stuff can look really kind of campy and junky and whatever that thing was Frickin amazing. We mentioned this in the first, uh, you know the part one with with Mike Kelly and Jared But like Now you kind of take it for granted because SJC and there's all these other brands that and do this stuff over the years But it wasn't happening that no, it's just like looking at an industry at the very beginning of it of like kind of custom boutique unique Crazy guys going in junkyards people making wild drums. I mean this was like Seriously I also think that like there are a lot of companies now and even maybe then Like where that's all they did see the thing that I always thought orange county We we really could hang our hats on the fact that we were also making some Really great like, you know, no offense like just drums like the drums were killer You know what i'm saying and and and i'll say this like the thing that blew my mind when I first started there was We had the big four When I started there and the big four is travis adrian John Otto from limpisket and chad sexton like that in my opinion. I mean those were like Those are the big four. I mean at you know in 2001 there were no bigger bands on earth than those four bands Somebody already said like the notoriety everybody knew what orange county was and it you know Those drums sounded killer, you know, and this you know again We had resources to materials and blah blah blah and the spike drum that nick was talking about that was literally John asked you know came out into the shop and asked one day like hey, does anybody have any crazy ideas for nam? and you know When you when you when you say that to a group of guys and they're out there eating their lunch and covered in sawdust and You know listening to finch on the record, you know on the radio like We all start chit chatting about like stuff and nits right like some of those ideas were dumb and boneheaded and whatever and Some actually like reached a certain point where you'd try it and it kind of didn't work And I actually said to Jeremy we were standing in the back of the shop spraying the inside the drums He was training me how to do that and I said Hey, like those spikes that like people put on leather jackets. I'm like, what if we uh, and he stopped spraying And he just sort of looked at me He goes come on and we set the drums down and we both walked into the office And John was like just hanging up the phone and Jeremy's just like Man, he's got it. Like it's like, you know those spikes. You think we can get those spikes and blah blah blah and it was so funny because uh John goes well John goes well, how many like how many spikes? and Right and and it's funny because I said well, I said how many of those can we get and I was just like I was like, I don't know it'd be kind of cool and then Jeremy just totally cut me off He's like he goes the whole Drum was literally like love to love line It was impossible to play it. Yep. And and and and it was and it was Jeremy Jeremy was just like Let's let's wrap it in chrome first And then do it so it looked like hellraiser and and you guys might remember like I I still talk about this because that drum Which kind of basically fell out of my brain in the conversation with Jeremy Like that was on the cover of the catalog for like five years Or something. I mean, I don't know if it's five years, but it was a long time For the record, I've been searching for that drum high and low Somebody if anybody's listening out there, please call me. If anyone can find it, it'll be you jerry. Yeah, no doubt Dude, I hope you find it this episode is brought to you by kelly drums Michael kelly is one of the original builders slash designers from ocdp with over 30 years building experience As well as being a drum and studio technician Michael and I were trying to figure out a way to promote his new brand and it just lined up perfectly to have him sponsor This orange county episode kelly drums is a brand new drum company specializing in hand-painted snare drums of a variety of species of wood As well as metals and acrylics All drums are 100 bill and painted in-house in the usa with a focus on thinner shells for more full tone And using a variety of re-ring options for more attack check out everything as for sale at kelly drums.com That's k e l l e y drums.com and be sure to follow them online at kelly drums. That's k e l l e y drums Speaking of the drums You said it was all done tastefully. I do have to say I always remember reading on the site and Anybody had ever talked to you had actually played them. It didn't matter what color somebody chosen It didn't matter how weird or gaudy it might have looked They were always built to the highest standard same quality of parts. I remember I think on the site It was like everybody gets the same man hours. Everybody's drum. The only thing that changes is just the price and the finish Yep, so I always thought that that was cool. Yep and jared I want to jump on that and say because like I think jared actually you posted something on facebook the other day That was like it had some it was like a satin finish green Set and it was just oh, yeah, and I think you were rewrapping it But I was like it took me a minute and it was kind of like wait a minute I don't think I've ever seen just like a nice clean No real no frills orange county kit. I'm sure I'd seen that and I'm sure you guys did a ton of them It was sort of like It was like refreshing a little bit to like because you're used to seeing all these crazy finishes and stuff But I was like man, I kind of like that I feel like sometimes when you order drums from a company like orange county, you think to yourself I got to get something wild because that's what these guys do But it was beautiful. It was like it's cool to see just like a plain finish You know single color drums. I agree. You know, you don't see that too often. Yeah You know, we had the dude that was like the old dude. Uh, is it berry? Chanel, Chanel. Yeah, he played with the gap band He had like a an old school. It was a not champagne, but it was like sand Sparkled it was just a classic you to sand Bermuda sand sparkle Just classic that chrome hardware And I mean those like it was cool to see that once in a while and be able to see like That to me is as classy as like any like dw kit. Yeah, but also we can do Louis Vuitton with spikes that'll cut your legs up and A bike a bicycle that you can ride out of here. Yeah, nick like Think back to how many Just basic classic snare drums and kits we made. I mean, that's the thing is that's the thing I think most people don't know like I would say One out of every five Either drums or kits that we made were I mean, how many just basic flat black kits do we make? I get it that those are kind of travis copies, but that's a classic kit How many silver glass kits did we make like like we made a lot of that stuff and and You know, the other thing when I was talking before about Resources being able to afford more things we through the years. We brought on new Painters that specialized in different things. I mean, you know, we got to the point where we could blow candy and high gloss over Like beautiful wood grains. I mean we made some Really amazing. I think about the chad sexting kits that are all like the quilted maple that are like highlighter blue High gloss talk about classic like that's a beautiful Well, even your your snare that you and I talked to mike kelly about this is like one of my favorite finishes Yeah, the platinum birds. I just told Platinum birds. I just told He had something he posted. Well, it's famous. But yeah, the the platinum birds eye That was a just a super classy just beautiful Finish that was the most simple thing that we could have done that was all done in house Unless it was a high gloss, you know, it went out to get sprayed that was all You know mike did mike did a bunch of those, you know when he worked there. So, yeah, all right, cool. Yeah What was the craziest one you guys remember whether it was for an artist or for a customer One that just like sticks out in your head I mean, I I would have to say honestly and it's just because like my my personal connection to it was the first Uh three-wheel low rider bike that we did for loo dog Um, he had like kind of been piecing together like these weird Ludwig kits and then he came to us I think he'd like been doing snares or something but he came to us with this whole concept It was a Schwinn low rider bicycle three-wheel like three-wheel frame The rack toms were mounted up on the handlebars. The snare drum was mounted on the front of the frame like in front of the seat the kick drum The rack or the kick drum the floor tom then, you know symbols sat on the other side But it was this crazy like airbrushed like ghost like ghost flame kind of stuff or like under a certain light. It was just this bad ass green color and then under certain light you would hit like ghost flame stuff And uh loo dog let me like his thing is like he wanted to see it once it was all done He brought the bike in we had the drums done we assembled it all And he wanted to see it from afar like he didn't want to be like on it like too close to the project So he's like hey man, you've got to ride this thing out into my car and I was like I'm like first of all this is like a Probably a five thousand dollar low rider bicycle that you've brought to us And we've just bolted probably another six thousand dollars worth of drums to it Like I do not want to be yours. He's like you got to ride it You have to ride the bicycle and like Okay, dude, so he's got like his his 97 forward expedition parked out back And I jump on his bicycle and I'm like Oh my like I don't want to do this and I've never seen someone so excited and that by I mean that thing like We went and saw them at house of blues that night and everyone like was so pumped on the bike So pumped on the finish like just it was it was an amazing kid. It was like Kind of seeing like his crazy vision and our crazy vision collide That that one sticks in my mind is like one of my favorites. Just like Is this real life? Like is this did we just do this? We just bolted by sick That's crazy bolted drums to a bike and now they're on stage and the thing bounces on springs So when he played it The whole bike. Yeah, it's so good. All right. I got two crazies Two crazy kids. I can't make up my mind You know at one point Not only did we have other resources or additional resources for materials and stuff, but so did the artists and Like I mean Travis is obviously the you know ultimate in that regard, but um Dude when we started to get into acrylic drums That were Candied on the inside with lighting fixtures I want to say that orange county was for sure the first company to put lighting fixtures inside drums and make them Triggerable and stuff like that And and it's funny because the first lighted kit was for john auto was a huge failure And it sat in the office forever because it was um the strobes inside were from The their runway lights like that's how bright they are But they were so sensitive that all the great bass frequencies were like we're setting them off and john hated it So so anyway the crazy kit though um This is on the cover. He's sitting on the cover of modern drummer with this kit And they did part of the photo shoot for this kit in the office at orange county and yeti was um Was his tech at the time and me and yeti Clean the kit when it was done. It's the family tree logo So it's the blue acrylic kit that lights up from the inside and his kit is massive, right? So the thing that made it unique was it was blue candy and sandblasted on the inside. So it was frosted candy blue and the the family Um tree logo is like those three circles like with the trunk. That's like their logo, right? And that was put on before they were sandblasted Then it was painted then that was taken off. So it's like the the the drums are blue But then that tree glows white Out on the outside of every single one of the drums and that's the drum set that he's just chilling Like in modern drummer with and the best part was his budget was so gnarly that he goes Um, you just said it really simply he goes I need and then I need a replica of this For europe but just make it but but just make it the inverse is what he said So and by the way, I have pictures of that kit because the inverse that they sent to europe is all clear with blue candy hardware and the blue candy tree logo on the thing It's gnarly. So that that was a crazy kit and like putting that thing together was Amazing because that thing was amazing. And then my second crazy kit This will go right back to to nick because it's a story about his favorite dude ever um I was walking to the bathroom and if you're walking toward the bathroom The phone was like on your way like up to getting into the front of the Right and the phone was just ringing as I was walking by and I picked it up I we always all did that whatever the phone was always ringing off the damn book So i'm walking up the phone rings. I pick it up and it's travis And at the time he was married to you know where i'm going with this nick at the time he was married to um The playmate. What was her name? Was it shana? Yeah shana. And so he had a kit That was all of her centerfolds all over the drums and then they blew uh high gloss over the whole thing And we were literally working on that kit right then like so Anyway, so I pick up the phone. It's travis and he's literally calling to check on the status of that kit And I had met travis before but I had never spoken to him on the phone before And so he starts to ask me about the status of the kit and I froze because I didn't want to say We I just drilled her I just screwed her I just polished her I just because that's what we were doing like we were hands on Like making this thing, you know, and it felt crazy that we were all looking at these drums going God, she's hot or whatever and I'm the guy that draws the short straw picks up the phone And it's travis on the phone asking how the kid is coming along and I just like a deer in headlights I just stood there like you have got to be kidding like yeah, it was I didn't look at her dude Yeah, right. Yeah, I didn't look at her except for when I was drilling the badges like through her nipples like Um, sorry, dude like I just touched like I didn't know what to say. Yeah That's awesome. Let me get john for you One second. All right, um, thanks for that story core You know 13 year old may probably would have been in heaven at that point. Um Yeah, so another question that uh a lot of people including myself have like kind of wondered over the years I know Maybe not the first but it really kind of felt that way that the when did the acrylic and the hybrids of like Melon wood or wood and acrylic really start to like come into play Because I remember just seeing that and it just going Wow What is that? I think a lot of that goes back to jeremy again I think that it's just him being innovative and I think that Again, once we had resources what we were you know starting to get into the acrylic land like I just mentioned a second ago It's like It was natural for us to be like oh you got some chocolate in your peanut butter You know what I mean? It was natural for us to be like mix. Yeah. What if mix them up? Yeah I remember the very first um And I don't jared would probably know better because I didn't pay attention to stuff like them But it was like basically the equivalent of like the 20 ply That we got and it was like from the the company that supposedly made like shamu's tank We got the 14 inch shell that was like it was equivalent of 20 ply like the half acrylic shell. Yeah And so like I remember the first one of those that came in and like we figured out like we got it vented And we got the edges cut on it and like I remember like specifically like I got to sand the edge on it And as I was going through I was going through this the smell first off But I remember going through like the you know the grades of sandpaper going, you know 220 and then we took it down to 400 And I remember being like, you know if I hit this with 800 We can make this the edge on this thing is going to be You won't even be able to tell where it's cut. It's going to be like like a diamond It's just going to be beautiful And we sanded that thing down. I think what it's probably like I would say like 800 or even more more Maybe it was some steel wool And then like polished it and like that was the very first shell that we got and that might have gone to travis Or you know, it's probably You know being that it was the first one it probably went, you know to travis or someone, you know on his caliber at the time But that was just thing of like seeing that for the first time of like This is something that I've literally never seen. I've seen the vista lights and you've seen the seams in um, yeah That was the first time of seeing something completely just like this is the first one of its kind Yep, yeah And we're doing this like my hands are on this drum and people are going to see this in freak out. Yeah crazy, you know the whole thing kind of makes me think too like Like in an alternate universe, this would be like an awesome like tv show like a reality tv show and i'm not talking like You know a lame one, but i'm talking like a like like almost like a cool car show Or like orange county choppers back in the day or something where it's like dudes in the shop doing crazy stuff Would have been awesome that actually pitched to john and he said no I'm pretty sure that sounds like john i'm pretty sure i read in like high times back in the day that he was the That was pitched him from like discovery channel and he said yeah, no, we're good Um, i'm almost positive it would have been discovery channel. I'm almost positive. I read that. Yeah, um Interesting as far as that goes had that ever come to fruition I mean one thing I was just thinking like oh i was getting ready to do this I was like one the craziest thing is like we didn't have Cell phone cameras back then we didn't have I literally have no pictures Of the time that I worked there. I have pictures of like myself with the drums outside of the shop But I don't have there's the the the cd rom or dvd rom whatever that they put out That kory and I are both in but like outside of that I don't have pictures of us working there, but I mean that the day to day It would have been freaking hilarious We did we had tape ball fights. I mean we had just like Trying to figure out who's going to lunch who's driving to lunch like just the in and outs of Of working there would have made an amazing tv show. I totally agree Yeah, but it I mean it's kind of the bonum effect or like keith moon where like there's this mystique of like We don't have photos or that mean we have a lot of videos and photos of those guys But we don't have day to day every it kind of takes a little bit away from it It would have been awesome But like there's something cool about like just hearing these stories from you guys Is like our you know the oral history of it as opposed to like all right. I'm sick of these guys click next channel You know what I mean, even if as cool as it is we all still Yeah, you know, it's just it's makes it kind of special that it wasn't recorded right. Oh, yeah Well, I think this kind of goes back. So Cory mentioned earlier josh lamb if i'm not mistaken He was the guy who was kind of doing like the Like the the pictures and the the web stuff, right? Yeah, he was and john was like it actually did get to a certain point I don't know who tipped the scale here and I don't know who Eventually got into john's ear regarding You know whether it was website stuff or promotional stuff, but like I think that I think I I remember the popularity of the catalog Really, you know because you know like to to next point. We didn't have cell phone camera Like there wasn't twitter. I mean there was but like that stuff was in its infancy. So like yeah, right So so the catalog was a commodity like that there were people I mean how many people came to the nan booth Can I just get a catalog dude? There was hundreds of those people every single day So I think that it got to a point where John, you know, he just went out and bought a really nice camera And it's funny a lot of the pictures that you see in the catalogs and stuff Dude, those were shot in the back parking lot in the sunlight Like that's the truth. Yeah. Well, like what I was getting at is like I mean a lot of it was undocumented because the internet was so in its infancy and um, I'm sure a lot of it was like Hey, let's just get the shipped out or whatever the case may be but You also said you did a lot of modest Tons of classic and modest builds, but I'm sure a lot of those just never saw Um a catalog So when you I a lot of people think orange county, they think what they saw in the catalog or the nam show Like to this day, I'll see something pop up on whether it be ebay or reverb and you go Oh Well, where did that come from or hiding in a rock? Like there's a lot that is still Like the mystique about it of we don't know what's out there. I think that went back to that uh The question in the first podcast was like how many of these things were made because they weren't serialized Do you actually like haven't a number for that? Man, I would guess no in nowhere to begin. Yeah, I mean All I have to say is the entire time I worked there in a three-ring binder We had an order book for snare drums and an order book for kits And those were a single page in a in one of those like laminated sleeve Those three-ring binders were like as thick as an old phone book or like a dictionary And the the snare drum one was always that thick and the kit one was always that thick. So I mean God, I I don't know the number of drums that were cranked out, you know, I mean 600 just for travis like like it's It's a lot. I'm kidding about the 600. But yeah, it's but but I mean that's a lot Um real quick funny story that you say that Um To deviate from this a little bit. There was a guy I had met through ebay years ago named rick caro who was friends with John's brother. I believe it was joe machata and he had like a Honda When he used to do boats and used to paint he went dumps driving the day that orange county closed Because a lot of things were thrown in the dumpster. So I bought a lot of you know parts and things like that He asked if I wanted binders with papers and I said no Ah I want to say that that would probably I'm not giving myself right now thinking that that probably held the answer to Yeah, that was a holy grail, dude I did not know that now You Jared I mean that's a part of the history now though Which is crazy is like of like that story is a part of orange county history of like not getting that binder Because it's just like I'm sure that happened with slingerland or are we through that away? You know, it's like or it's now. We know I have something now We know the guy who blew it. Yeah, right? You're welcome Or also like mike has been hounding me for it. I just haven't had the time I have a storage toad that I also got from him that has all the cutouts of the vents With all of the finishes. Oh, yeah And literally mike was like if you go through them, I could tell you you probably have stuff from travis's drum Chad's drum. Yep. Basically every time they cut a vent I have all those plugs. I just have to go through them and uh I guess to kind of like drive it home from here. Um When you guys were there or after you left did you Really know the impact of the brand or what you guys had done or built Or that people would still be talking about it today Or that it would still be around anything like that I mean for me now, like I said, I I just turned 40 and so like looking back on like I started working there when I was 17 Like I knew that there was something like when we went places like people moved out of the way like the nam show We were the I mean which we used to have like beer in our booth and like dickies Outfits, right? Yeah. Yeah. We had the button down dickies shirts with embroidered logo on it all that I mean we we knew back. I mean I I understood back then that there was something with that brand That drew people and like we were like the hot You know at the time we were the hot commodity and just kind of You know being a kid and being just trying to figure out life like I probably some of that got lost on me And then it was almost like an immediate as soon as I wasn't working there anymore. I Kind of like realized like oh crap. That was like that was my My once in a lifetime like job. That was my I mean the people that I met we had lunch with you know Like Cory said like travis calling on the phone Adrienne coming in for lunch and like playing us the new no doubt record before anybody had heard it Just all the the crazy stuff that we had access to that nobody else did Kind of as soon as I wasn't there anymore And I mean I had a good relationship with them up until like the guitar center thing like I had I took one of the the first prototype guitar center kids out on tour That john gave me Pretty much as soon as I left I kind of realized like the full Scope of what that was but I've never appreciated it more than I do now of like being an older an older person and and knowing Kind of how life works and understanding that you know companies like that like that was You know, you could put orange county next to DW or or next to pork pie or any of these companies that have been around like build edamore story that you did was great I love that. I love I love hearing that and and kind of like being able to parallel You know what I did or where I worked at the time next to those companies I definitely appreciate it way more now, but at the time that I was there working As crazy as it was it was it was my means to pay my rent and to you know keep food in my mouth But there was also a sense of like we're a gang we're a family We're we're doing something that no one else is doing And if this is badass And so yeah, that's awesome. So I'll piggyback on the next answer and I'll just say You know Nick and I are really similar in the sense that when we began working there We already knew that it was a big deal So I think the real Word the real phrase here is is lasting Deep impact, you know what I mean? Like that's the part that I think was really hard to judge then You know, it's like some, you know, I heard somebody say one time like oh a drunk company is only as good as its artist roster And I remember like Like belly laughing when I heard that because at the time working at orange candy I was like who's got a better roster than orange county. Are you joking like we had the best roster, right? And so like so when I heard that and when I thought about that back then I felt like okay Well, if we're only as good as our artist roster and if that's the thing that's creating like that deep, you know impact It's like You know, you got to think like Ludwig has made tons of bonnum copy kits, right? And if there's been, you know, tons of, uh, you know ringo copy kits made, you know For sure like the time that we worked at orange county drum you know many Travis copy kits we made and here's the thing the crazy part about travis is how many Kits is travis famous for like seven or eight different kits, you know The yellow the stars and the red white and blue and that like right and it's like we made A zillion copies of every single one of those and so like if you want to talk about, you know, deep long lasting impact It I mean you you don't have to look any further than how many copy cat kits we built but To tell you the truth I knew that we had something special But like nick like there's a couple of moments Where you really recognize that you have something special and like You know, I would say I have two of those moments. The first moment is like, uh um At nam my second my second ma'am with orange county Uh travis came and it was a saturday and it was a day where he was going around to like he would go He went to like rimo And he was mobbed and he went to zillion and he was mobbed and blah blah blah And he got to the orange county booth and I do have pictures of this he got to the orange county booth and You know, like all of the walkways were totally clogged There was hundreds of people there and it was at the end of the day Well, if you've ever been to the nam show about half hour before the show closes There's an announcement over the pa that says, you know, hi, you know attention nam showgoers the convention center showroom four closes in 30 minutes and please make your way to the exits and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and like None of us at orange county Or travis or any of those 300 people Muscle like because because here's what we knew we knew that all of the rules Did not apply to us. They didn't he's travis he's That's travis like we're orange county like go ahead and shut the lights off bro like We're all here. We're not none of us are going anyway It was and like that's crazy like if you think about that right now, that's insane And like that that kind of stuff happened and so that was definitely a moment for for for me and and the last thing I will say You know, Jared, you and I kind of went back and forth. We messaged back and forth about this like Not only were we making copy copycats of the stuff that we made but in every subsequent year you go to nam and I don't have anything against all of our like competitors or whatever Every year we would go there and we would all sort of Chuckle at the fact that like all these other companies were the next year They were doing the thing that we did the you know the previous year You know, it's like, you know the very first time I ever went into john's office and said we had just gotten this this um vertex this this machine that cuts laminate and max had just trained me to wrap drums So I was wrapping a lot of the drums at that time when we got this machine And the reason why we bought this machine is because you didn't have to cut Um glass sparkle by hand or for mica by hand which ruins your wrists your thumbs blades. It's it's terrible. So this this, um Very axe very tax. I don't remember That's it's something like that. Jeremy has the machine like the actual machine at q. Yeah, anyways So I remember I went into john's office and I said, hey, I said I said, I have an idea. Do you mind if I pull a scrap some scraps out of the dumpster and try an idea? He said, yeah, what's your idea? I said, how How narrow can I make the blade? How narrow can I make the cutter? And he goes he goes, I don't know. He goes if you go too narrow It's just it's just going to rip the material apart It's just going to chip it and it's going to be not use not not usable and he goes But if you want to work with some scraps, he goes, you know, knock yourself out and I was like, okay And so I literally like grabbed scraps And I just started to run this Material through the machine and it was just chewing it up and it was not working But then I hit that sweet spot where I was at about like a half an inch and I was like, hmm And I ran it through and I had a nice clean Strip and I was like, oh dude So then I started to like sand the edges of that strip and I flipped everything over on a table And then I just started to tape it together like we did with the red, white and blue Travis kits But the strips were just smaller, right? And so I did it with and I was just like, hey, can I wrap A drum in material that everybody hates like just because we're not, you know, we're not going to do anything with it He's like, yeah, sure. He goes use the, you know, blue Canyon marble and black gloss We got tons of black gloss for Micah. So I wrapped this drum And I'll never forget I wrapped it and Jeremy even Measured it off edged it and we built it And I walked it into John's office And he was just like Oh my god And I'll never forget that drum and I have pictures of that drum because I owned it for a while. It was a 10 files It was a crappy shell, but black gloss blue canyon marble Black gloss blue canyon marble black gloss and with all silver. It was dope and we took it to Nam that year And that that little experiment so well went so well that John was just like, well, what if we did that with this? And what if we did flat black and, you know, silver glass and so we started to like Like invent stuff like that and and like literally you go to I I went to Nam four years ago And I was like Ludwig. I was like, oh look stripes. Like I was like, that's me At the end at the end after like after I was gone and that's one thing I'm bummed that I missed The wraps at the end of it were just like insane, which is like everyone is doing like Gretch had the one that had the the little cut out in it Or, you know, D drum had the one that had like the racing stripes. It's like, I know where that all came from Yeah, I mean that finch kit the black and red finch kit for the she burns video Like that was that Alex walked in that day when I was farting around like making strips or whatever and he was you know, you know Yeah, and Alex walked in and you know, they're on a record label and his pupils were this big and uh, he was just like that like Man, I I want to throw it out there that like before, you know, like before we did this and after doing the first uh interview with Jared and Mike Kelly that like I saw a couple comments of people just being like, wow, I remember orange county drums I just didn't know it was such a big deal Who would be from the generation who was a little bit older and you cannot blame them for that? They're they're like they just weren't that of that age and I think that It just needs to be kind of if people listening right now are feeling that and kind of thinking. Yeah, it was cool Whatever, but like if you were like, you know, like Jared and I are the same age if you were let's say 10 to 12 years old to 30 something years old at that point Uh and kind of into that this is like Travis Barker orange county. It was Ringo and Ludwig of that air. You know what I mean? It was Like revolutionary. It was kids dream kids. I think I said that in the first episode Yeah, we lived that in the first one like it was the equivalent of like seeing a radio king with with gene krupa That generation you see Ringo. Totally Ringo with the Ludwig. You see Bonham behind a Vistalite You see Alex Van Halen behind that monster and then you see Travis or Chad or even John Otto coming out with this massive kit Yeah, I mean that sums it up right there it for our generation in that time. There was nothing bigger Once in a lifetime. Yeah, well, I mean once in a generation I would say and maybe if it happens again with another company and another drummer It'll be something different. It won't be the same just like this wasn't the same as the other previous, right? You know trailblazers. It's you guys What you said before I think was actually really kind of like moving about not really understanding until you left But I mean, that's just anything that's life like you guys had an extremely cool job That only a handful of you could fit all those people in like one small room You know what I mean who have the experience that you guys had. Yeah, it's just incredible When I I know that I've told Cory and I've told, you know, like some of the like I've told Mike Kelly um Like I'll have dreams that I'm like back at the orange county shop But it's like everything's like weird. It's like it's been shut down But we're gonna like, you know, try to bring the custom shop back And it's like me and like John and Cory and we're like trying to figure out like Okay, you know, all right. We got it. We got to start with this like, okay Here's the shells like let's you know, let's bring this thing back And I mean, that's a it's a crazy thing for me that it's that Big of a staple in my life that I literally dream about being back there And it's like I can remember the exact what that shop smelled like. Oh, yeah You know, I know the details. I remember Cory outside we had a room that just the router and the table saw that we cut shells in There was a room built in the back that was like soundproofed. It just had carpet on the outsides And there was a phone right there. And so like sometimes you'd answer the phone You kind of be stuck there for a while it had like a 20 foot cord And everyone would get bored and you would like draw shit on the wall Cory at some point was on the phone And he drew this little graphic that said eight plex of butt nuggets And he drew it like literally right next to the phone And so anytime you went to answer the phone that was outside of the router room You stared at this little and it was like looked like an old school like movie sign like had the like Bubble around it And like you would just go answer the phone every time I just I couldn't help but laugh I'd see eight plex of butt nuggets and I'm like But that that kind of stuff like I mean it sticks with me like I said, I dream about that place I miss it like it's it's uh, it's uh, it was a time in my life Can I just answer my last question? It was uh, one of the last questions was like, what do you miss the most? But uh, That's it's the eight plex there. Yeah, I was gonna say it's butt nuggets Butt nuggets. Well, and I'll so I'll I'll answer the what do you miss thing? You know, it's it's a little bit like, you know For anybody that's a sports fan whenever they interview Uh a sports uh an athlete after they retire and they ask them, you know, what is it that you miss? They always say the thing that I'm gonna say Which is I miss the camaraderie. I miss the guys. I miss the vibe. I miss You know really genuinely All connecting like having this thing in common this common goal and we all really clearly Gave a hundred percent like we all really cared about what we were doing And I think that the the beauty in that is that we all held each other accountable There was nobody there that sucked Because we wouldn't know nobody was ever off their game. Yeah And so I miss the guys I miss I miss the movement I miss what we were creating because although nick and I Probably didn't realize at the time like the the really the long lasting impact. We did know During the time there that we were doing something Really special and it felt like that every day. That's awesome Great answer And I think one of the last questions that I had uh that a lot of people are curious is uh Do you guys actually own any orange county drums or still play them? I do So I've got this kid. This is a 13 16 18 20 2 This was built for chris hornbrook from poison the well I've had a couple like I said when I worked there I could not afford them. Where'd you uh, where'd you get that 18 from? My friend I've got a friend named jared actually who has a crazy line on like finding insane like So I told cori you might know the story there was a there was a snare drum that we had that was sat on the rack forever that was uh Was it was four vents, right? But the vents were under the tube lugs Yeah And I had like long tube lugs on it. It was blue glass glitter And it was a 12 or 13. I think it was like seven or eight I told jared that like that was the one snare drum Like I always told john like i'm gonna buy that i'm gonna buy that and then like finally someone else bought it I lost out on it jared's like yeah, I own that drum at one point. I could probably track it down and i'm like So yeah, so uh, yeah Jared is mine and that's I told him earlier that we were on the phone and I was like, you know, I was like I'm so screwed up on dates. I'm probably gonna refer to you like on a bunch like a bunch of this stuff I know that I was there, but you obviously know way more about it than I do like for various reasons I just don't remember things like I used to maybe it's old age I still have two snare drums. So I have um, I have a really weird affliction. I name all my snare drums. And so, um So I have baby girl, which is the first snare drum I ever You know bought paid for made blah blah blah and that's the Five and a half by 13 20 ply vented that is the um Platinum birds eye with the high gloss on it with the black chrome um hoops and lugs and um, that's the first that was one of the first drums I had seen Where we had the badge made And it has the ocdp logo and my name under it. It doesn't say orange county drums. It has my name And so I still have her. She's a sweetheart. Um, and then I have the gray satin stain seven by 13 30 ply three vet that I yanked out of the trash and paid for the um I paid for the the the parts on and uh, he is affectionately named a dude And um, he he he does abide. Um, and he's badass Awesome. Well guys, I got to say this is just like this is different in many ways because first off This is more people I've had on the show Uh than than at any other time. Um, it's like almost 11 o'clock at night here So it's later than we usually do them, which is kind of fun Uh, it's just really special to get people who were at orange county. Um, and kind of follow up on that previous episode. So Um, real quick, uh, let's start with kori first off kori. Thanks for being here Is there anywhere you want to direct people to like find you on social media and stuff like that? Yeah, sure Thanks for having me man.

And if obviously from what nick said before if you guys need or are looking for orange county drums, I mean Jared is your dude. I mean find him on social media and reach out to him. Um, and then last but not least Let's just I want to mention for people who heard the first episode Mike kelly has like created kelly drums like he said I remember he ended was like i'm starting a drum company He has like done it like he has bought all the machinery He has like been producing drums. So way to go mic. Um, I'll put the link in the description for that as well I feel proud of him from you know in that time Starting it's awesome. Yeah, he's a great dude. I'm happy for him. Like the dude. Yeah, they look awesome So, um, all right these guys it's been a long one But they're gonna hang out for another couple minutes and give me a little bit more of their time We're gonna do a quick patreon bonus episode and we are gonna talk about uh, sometimes where uh, Kind of the classic patreon bonus question of things didn't work out right things got a little screwed up and they learned from their mistakes And uh, and were better for it. Um, so if you want to hear that go to patreon.com slash drum history podcast And uh, check it out or go to drumhistorypodcast.com patreon link and uh, you can hear it there.

NOBODY Expected EA to do THIS!

Nobody expected EA Sports to drop all this CRAZY content in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team as a part of the FUT Ballers promo. With so many SBCs and Objectives to complete, will it take the focus off of the FIFA Market and potentially make some prices DROP. Could we be headed towards a market crash? We talk FUT Ballers content and everything you need to know about FIFA, in today's video! Connect with me!

Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Nobody expected EA to do what they did yesterday for the start of the footballers promo. They went absolutely all out with the SBC content. I wanna talk about all the stuff we got yesterday and how it really could impact the market in terms of prices going down. We could be at the beginning of a true market crash on this game. Over the coming days, this content has potential to impact the market big time. So we'll talk about that. And of course, this promo has a good idea behind it, but there are two major problems with this footballers promo that I wanna unpack with you guys today and also look forward to what we can see today on day two of footballers. We actually already know what SBC player we're gonna get. We'll talk about that in today's video as well. So if you enjoyed the video at any time today, drop a thumbs up on it. And if you have not yet, please do consider subscribing to the channel. Let's try to just go over all of this content that we had yesterday and talk about what in the world footballers is. First of all, the main point of this whole promo is that they are giving us SBCs, the footballers, right? And they are gonna give us SBCs, which we will then take two objectives and we will complete objectives with that SBC card dropped every single day to earn an upgraded version, right? Of course, yesterday, like the loading screen we saw heading into the promo was Luis Diaz. All we have to do is do an 83 rated squad for the 86 rated Luis Diaz to get this 88 rated card. And you might be like, that's only a plus two, it's not that big of an upgrade. Take a look at his dribbling attributes and some of his upgraded player traits, 92 straight down on all the dribbling statistics. If you take a look compared to his gold card compared to this 88 rated, it's a plus 15 on balance and like plus nine reactions and composure. It's really a big boost with a kind of cool dynamic image, right? With Luis Diaz on the sideline, with the hat on and the code and stuff, manager Diaz as people are calling him. It's really an interesting upgrade and I'm super interested to see the rest of these cards as they drop. That's kind of the hype with this promo. Oh wow, they've given a dynamic image to Edison and now Jack Grealish. Like this promo is just different because it's all of the players like not even on the pitch. It's like in their warmups on the sideline and that's kind of just the different part about it. But these objectives, if they continue like this Luis Diaz, it is gonna be fun every single day to log on to this game. Look, it's set up right in front of us, the 18th today, 19th all the way to the 23rd next Thursday, we know what player SPC we are going to be getting because EA have told us on that little loading screen, on the infographic here, on the news tab, it shows you, right? You have Luis Diaz, Bamford, Kulusevsky and the Ox and you basically will do the SPC and will get that card, go into objectives and then upgrade your card via those objectives to the nice dynamic version and the better stats and all of that stuff. So, as long as it continues like it did today with Luis Diaz being pretty cheap, now of course, fodder prices are going up like crazy and we'll talk about that. But if Luis Diaz and all the rest of these guys are pretty cheap like this, it's gonna be such a W promo because it shouldn't take that much effort. Five squad battles games, scoring a finesse school guys is really not that much work for really a super cool card that is gonna be pretty meta in game with the very interesting dribbling boost that he has gotten. So, if you don't think that's really worth it, then of course, that's up to your opinion but I just think that is super cool, super grindable content that is so easy to do and you have two weeks to do it, right? The objective and the SBC are both available for two weeks long, so you have time to do it. You can also combine it with other objectives like the Saudi League objectives that we had yesterday to get extra rewards and squad battles and extra stuff done at the same time. So, there's a lot you can do right now. We're gonna get even more today. Now, more content yesterday. This was the part that kind of blew my mind, right? Think about this, you know, for example, upgrade packs like the 75 times five, the 83 double, the 82 times 20 and an 85 plus mixed campaign player pack. We got all of those yesterday. That's like a week's worth of content but wait a second, take a look at this. You can do the 83 double 20 times and then you can do it 20 times again today and tomorrow it refreshes every single day 20 times. The 82 times 20 refreshes two times every single day. The 85 plus campaign upgrade, which unfortunately does include ones to watch is the first one I did, the only one that I did. I packed Antony, little underwhelming but I saw people packing foot fantasy cards from this, team of their honorable mentions. You can do that five times a day as well and not to mention on top of all of that, we got Mid Cruyff as an icon SPC yesterday. This is on par with one of the best icon SPCs. We have had this entire year. I know it's March. I know Mid Cruyff has been available in the game since the start of the year but at two million coins, it was lower than its price on the market. It is definitely craftable. It's out for a long time. You're gonna be able to craft during birthday swaps. That is a super end game, super emotional player for a lot of people in this game and it's awesome that we got a big name icon SPC out there to craft and to work on at that interest you. So all of that content dropping on one day yesterday was just like unbelievable, right? We'd like never have that on a promo Friday. Usually we get the player SPC and it's all about what cards are in packs but yesterday it was the exact opposite, right? And that's just the whole premise of this promo but with content being as absolutely insane as it was. Looks like Cruyff has bounced back a little but he was two million coins basically flat just under 2.1. He's now back up about a hundred thousand coins but this SPC is still a good value in my opinion because he was a 2.5 million coin card before content and some of the best parts about this, I know we talk about leaks all the time and we even had some of the leaks for this promo but especially for the SPC content and the Cruyff it was so refreshing to be genuinely surprised yesterday at content with everything that was going on in this game. So that's all of the good stuff. In my opinion, there is a big problem with this promo actually there's two, right? The first one is there's no players in packs and that is the tricky situation right now where a lot of people need fodder and I mean we'll talk about that a bit more but I'm still holding some packs here and I'll talk about my methods here in a second but there are not any special cards in packs right now which is making people not want to open packs except for maybe some of these in the store the New Year Review Pack or the Premium New Year Review Pack which if I'm being completely honest guys don't touch this one. I know it's only a thousand FIFA points but we opened a bunch of these yesterday they were not good. This one at least for 2,000 FIFA points you get 30 players. This one you only get two players. I don't understand what's going on with this pack. This one if you're gonna spend FIFA points that's the one to do. It's only a thousand FIFA points more and you get 30 players instead of two. So that's kind of there. It's out for a couple more days. I do expect to see more store packs today and the provisions pack right now is actually very, very useful because common goal players are very useful for multiple of those upgrade pack SBCs and we'll talk about crafting. That's actually what I wanna talk about really quickly. It's a struggle right now to get fodder on this game. That's one of the biggest problems because a lot of people are not wanting to open packs because there's no special cards in packs which if we would have had special cards in packs with this promo, this promo would have been absolutely nuts, right? With special cards in packs, something else out there to kind of grind for and not feeling like you're missing out on something when opening packs, right? Because usually people feel like they are if there's nothing in packs besides a team of the week when they're opening them, this promo would be absolutely nuts. But one of the best ways in my opinion to get fodder on this game right now is by cleaning out your club and this is what EA wants us to do, right? This whole thing that EA is doing right now, they are so smart, they're always ahead of us, they're always one step ahead of the curve. But the premium bronze upgrade and the premium silver upgrade that are here right now, if you have unneeded bronzes and silvers in your club, specifically for myself, the silvers, do these until your club is basically dry apart from maybe a silver squad or a bronze squad that you need, get your club rinsed. Out of all this stuff, that can turn into a bunch of common golds. And from there, you can turn in those common golds to the 75 times five upgrade pack, which I think is not as amazing a value as the 83 times two, but this one does give out, it is five players and it is, it's still two squads to turn in. So you get like, it's actually like a 75 times seven because you get a 75 plus rated player from each of those. And then of course, you get some fodder, you get some rares, you get to also turn those higher rated cards into like an 82 times 20 or an 83 double. You could also put that into an 85 mixed campaign upgrade or maybe into Croy for an icon pack if you're crafting one of those. So that's kind of the basis of how you might want to start crafting right now is clean your club out of bronzes and silvers into those two upgrade packs. And then once you've cleaned the club out, bronze pack method is gonna be absolutely killing it right now or buying bronzes for 150 coins to then put into those upgrades. And if you want to just skip all of that, you can just buy gold commons and gold rares off of the market for a little bit inflated prices. I believe gold commons are about five to 600 coins. Looks like 550 right now are sitting on the market. 500 are getting sniped pretty fast. But you can tell there's gonna be so much demand for these SBCs because A, you can either save them a four foot birthday, which is definitely the next promo upcoming or you could open some of those smaller packs right now to be doing the SBCs like Croy or like the 85 plus mixed campaign. This is my rule of thumb right now. As you see, I have packs in the store. And again guys, we're talking a lot of like theory and menu stuff today, just because that's kind of the conversation of the content right now. You don't have to do it this exact same way. I'm just trying to offer you my perspective on what I think is maybe the best to do right now. I think you can do a combination of saving packs and opening packs. I am saving packs that have rating guarantees that are above 83. So 84 plus, 85 plus here, my 83 times 10s, I will be saving those. I will probably save the 82 times 20 if I get around to doing some of those as well, just because those are big packs that I might save up to try to pack promo cards from. But anything other than that, let's say Rivals Rewards later this week, Weekend League Rewards, Squad Battle Rewards, anything I get from a cup or a draft or even doing some of those smaller SBCs inside. If you're like, if you're crafting Cruyff and you, you get like a Rare Players Pack or that's probably too big of a pack. But maybe a Prime Electrum Players Pack or something from doing one of these SBCs. I'm opening those packs to at least get some gold cards back into the club because oftentimes from those, you're not packing promo cards anyway. And if you're opening tradable packs right now, it's actually a fantastic time to do that if you take a look at the price of fodder. And that's the second biggest point I wanna talk about today is the second biggest problem with this promo is it is very difficult to get fodder. Most people are in opening packs, that's why. And secondly, there's so much demand for fodder, it just keeps going up and you hate looking at the 84s and saying, wow, am I actually gonna pay 7,500 coins for an 84 rated card? And here I'm gonna tell you today that those prices are just gonna go up unless EA do something crazy. Yes, I know it's crazy and I know it kinda sucks, but fodder is the biggest part of this promo right now. But that's exactly like I said, what EA wants. They want to be draining coins off of this game with all of this content that is refreshing every single day and it's going to work, guys. I honestly think that if you're like, I'm about to do this, I'm about to go club stock some 82s, 83s and 84s so that we can do some more SBCs and so that I can do more SBCs later on this weekend because I just don't see anything apart from EA doing something wild with a tradable pack or like giving out like a 50K pack for like basically free, if you will, it's tradable. I don't see fodder being impacted negatively over the coming days because most people are just saving packs for a big promo like for birthdays upcoming because right now there's nothing going on. So fodder right now for me on some levels is an investment but on other levels it's more of like maybe just do a club stock and do what you have to do and just this is a promo where unfortunately, guys, if you don't have a lot of coins you have to be really, really careful because you can get stuck in an area here where you're doing a 50K campaign upgrade pack every other day and this type of promo drains so many coins from the market because it's a little bit here. It's a little bit there but it doesn't seem as bad or seem as much as like doing an icon upgrade pack that's 500,000 coins but if you think about it, if you do like, five of these, that's 250K plus, if you're doing a couple 83 doubles you're getting up to 50K so it adds up very quickly and you gotta make sure you have fodder because with this whole grind of the play-to-style that we see as the ban for that's gonna be coming out today, right? EA have shown us the kind of the dates on this. We're gonna get banned for today, right? One of the reasons that EA is kind of getting us sucked into this and kind of reeling us in and making us want to do this objective and complete it to its full is read the top line right here. Play-to-earn a footballer's mounts and to unlock the play-to-style plus objective containing a foot birthday team one pack as a reward this coming Friday. So if you complete all the objectives Bamford, Kulusevsky, Oxley Chamberlain, Grealish, Madhuweke and Ederson you're gonna get all those cards plus Mason mount plus an 80 plus times five and you're going to unlock another objective. That's why you can't see it right now. A play-to-style plus objective is gonna be unlocked next week that we will be able to be able to get a foot birthday team one guaranteed player from that objective. So that's where that's going on. But guys, again, right now I would seriously say club stocking the fodder is a decent place to be. I know that it's crazy expensive and it even pains me to be spending some coins right now on some of this fodder. But if you have coins available really guys I don't see this going anywhere but up. So club stocking some of the 83s try to get as close to 3,000 coins as you can. And if EA do release any tradeable pack supply over the next couple of days that could impact these cards a little bit but I doubt it would impact them enough for it really to drop their prices a lot. So that's why I'm doing this right now and just putting some of these in the club because I know that I want to do some more of these SBCs whether it's just to save the packs or whether it is just to do some of the upgrades and have some a little bit of the fun. That's why I'm stocking the fodder right now. I do think these card prices will just continue to go up as we're just going to have more SBCs each and every day on this game and more people doing those SBCs. So that's also why I'm worried about the market. There was so much content and we had to talk about it for a minute but that's why I'm worried about the market guys because you can tell that some of the market has started to drop, right? Case in point, my transfer list, I've got Upamakano. I know a lot of you guys have invested in the foot fantasy cards. I'm right there with you 730,000 coins for an Upamakano card that was 780K yesterday, right? It is painful to look at some of these price drops. Hazard is 625. This is the price that he was in packs. He went all the way up yesterday to being 700K plus before dropping off. This is how a lot of the live cards and the most recent promo cards on this game look right now, prices are going down and I want to talk about why it's these cards. The foot fantasies besides a couple of them are dropping the most and they're dropping the quickest along with someone like Road to the Finals and stuff like that. Since content yesterday, a lot of those cards are dropping the most because the investors are selling. The people that are market savvy on this game, a lot of you guys watching this video that are interested in the market more than the casual FIFA player know that this promo with all the SBC content that's gonna be dropping every single day on this game, this is the type of content that drains coins from the market at such a high rate that the market is not gonna be able to withstand the high prices that we have held since Team of the Year for very long or for much longer at all. So if I have tradable cards in my team right now, I would be careful. If you look at the rest of the market, you know, you look at like some foot fantasy cards or sorry, some future stars. If you look at Team of the Year honorable mentions or Centurion's cards, yeah, some of these guys are down but they're not down that much. I mean, look at like Fred. Fred is still 300,000 coins. Yesterday he bounced between 280, he's actually up a little bit right now. Now that could be because this is an entirely Premier League based promo. It doesn't look like we're gonna get any other leagues represented inside of this promo guys. It looks like it's just going to be Premier League, which I think is disappointing. Could they just do this footballers promo later on and continue it throughout the year with other leagues? I hope so, because this idea is really cool. And if this was going on in the background of FIFA, like all the time during the year, that'd be insane, right? That would be great. But if you take a look at some of these other cards, there's not a ton of panic on this stuff. It's more so the recent stuff. Jordi Alba is like bouncing between 90 to 95K. That's where he's been. But the investors have started selling fantasy cards, fantasy heroes and road to the finals because they know and we know that this market is not really headed into a really great spot. So I do believe you're gonna see the market continue to fall off. And you know, I'm just keeping an eye on some of these cards. I still have a lot of stuff on my transfer list. There are still opportunities to trade in this market. Cards have gone up. Some of the cards have gone up, right? Trent Centurion, who we talked about in last night's video. He has gone up in price. I'm continuing to hold this card as the investor sell. But as more people complete the Luis Diaz, as more people complete maybe Bamford today to try him out, this is just a card that I think still has potential to rise with the links. As a lot of people maybe form their teams around some of these new footballers cards. So I'm not selling everything just yet. I'm still trading a little bit. I bought this Sancho at 3.20 yesterday, right? Trading with rare cards out of packs. There is still a very viable trading method. I still have all of my fodder trading with a couple of Salahs, a Martinelli. But I'm starting to get a little bit just fearful of how this market's gonna go. And I think it will drop further today, right? I have the Mcconnells for 700K. I got the trends for 240. I picked up a Foden, I picked up a Martinelli at 3.70. Couple of Salah informs just trying to trade with them. But the way the market feels, it feels weak and it feels like prices are gonna be continuing to drop off. So be careful. That's just my words. I'm honestly a word of warning to you guys. I think some of the high tier cards too, even like this really expensive VVD, some of your cards that have been super duper expensive for a long time, I think of like Alucio. And those types of cards, I just feel like with maybe some pros starting to sell. And I mean, foot birthday is really on the horizon, guys. We know foot birthday is next week. I would be careful for some of these cards to finally start dipping down again from some of their crazy, crazy high prices. Even though this promo is based around lower priced stuff, I think a lot of your prices are gonna start to fall off in the coming days and even more today. So I know it's not looking great out there right now. I know that prices are down. I know that's kind of scary and it's not fun to talk about and look at, but it is very, very real and it's gonna continue to happen on this game, in my opinion, with the way the content is set up. Now, speaking of content, what else are we gonna be getting today? Well, we know we're getting Banford today, right? And I can even tell you, we're gonna be getting an 85 rated Banford SBC, right? It's literally right there. Now the question I have is, there are a couple of cards that were leaked that we actually have not seen yet in the game, specifically Furpo and Dan Juma and McGeady. I mean, yesterday with St. Patrick's Day EA, you fumbled the bag. It was a perfect day to drop an 80 and McGeady 5-5. They didn't, but we still have a Furpo and a Dan Juma that have not been dropped yet. Curious to see when those will be dropped and how they're gonna be introduced. Maybe they'll be just standalone players PCs. Maybe they'll be standalone objectives. I'm not entirely sure, but I would expect to see the Banford today. And since Banford is leads, maybe they would do Furpo at the same time. I'm not entirely sure, but I would expect to see him today. And of course the refresh of all of the crazy SBCs that were dropped yesterday on this game. The other kind of question that I have is, we had a lot of super low impacts that were added. Could they do a cup? Maybe we'll have another cup mode this week, which would be very appreciated from a fodder needing perspective. We need fodder really bad. So another cup giving us more fodder would be perfect. So that's just kind of the state of the game right now. I know this promo has got opinions of yes, I like it. No, I don't. This promo is a W. This promo is an L. I really think this idea is a W and EA are executing it very, very well. But without having any special cards and packs, it is kind of painful from a sense as well. I get that too. Now, one thing I will say really fast is we're again in prime time, foot fantasy upgrade potential scenarios. Look at Esauk scoring two goals and getting the win yesterday with his final second goal. He is up over 100,000 coins. I messed up big time on this card. I didn't sell it on the hype. I risked it. I panic sold after they went down 1-0 and then I only bought one on the rise back up and I sold it too early and now this guy's up big, right? Again, sell it in the hype with your live cards because yes, you might lose out on some potential profit but you can of course always buy the card when goals are scored like I did with Esauk's first goal when I bought him at 300K and sold him at 300 and I don't even know what it was like 40 something thousand coins but the other advice I will give you is this is the flip side of the coin. Tagli Fico was 78,000 coins yesterday and he dropped all the way down to, I believe it was below 60K. I think he's back up a little bit now but he was down to like 58,000 coins after being 78K and a lot of people lost coins on this card yesterday. Sell into the hype with fantasy foot cards that are playing today on Saturday even tomorrow on Sunday. You'll be glad that you did and if your player does perform enough to get an upgrade or to get multiple upgrades, just buy the card when you get a notification. If you set notifications on like SOFA score or another live score app, then go on the market and buy that card if you want to risk it then and go for that or if you just want to hold and you know the risk, then you do you. But that's just kind of the scenario with these cards right now on this game. Esauk upgrade timeframe is the question mark for right now. I really think they're gonna upgrade these guys on Wednesday. I really do. That's kind of when they upgraded them in the past so I would expect to have Esauk getting a plus two and going to a 91 on Wednesday with the new team of the week and that's a normal day to upgrade cards as well. So just so much going on in this game right now but it was absolutely unexpected how it all dropped yesterday on this game. If you are enjoying the footballers promo let me know down in the comments what you like, what you don't like and if you enjoyed this video today drop a thumbs up on it. Good luck with your foot champs games and your objective games this weekend. If you have not already hit that subscribe button and I'll see you guys again tomorrow for another upload. It's been Nate the Foot Accountant. Catch you guys there. Peace out.

Ukrainian forces gain ground near Klishivka on the Bakhmut front. Andrey Kovalov, spokesman for the Ukrainian General Staff, has stated that the Ukrainian Defence Forces have advanced in the area of the settlement of Klishivka on the Bakhmut front. We see partial success in the area of Klishivka and are securing the ground we have gained. He said that the Ukrainian forces continue to push the Russian troops north and south of the city of Bakhmut, driving them out of the previously occupied positions. The Russian soldiers are showing strong resistance, using reserves and suffering heavy losses. Heavy fighting is underway. Furthermore, the Ukrainian Defence Forces are holding back the Russian offensive on the Lyman, Avdivka and Murinka fronts. Ukrainian infantry has reclaimed lost ground around Bakhmut, the Donbass's regional centre, after a series of gritty short-range attacks. Kyiv's forces have advanced as much as a kilometre, crossing a key canal and securing parts of the battleground city that the Kremlin fought nearly six months to capture. Armed forces of Ukraine's service members, hosting on social media reported armoured carrier riding infantry, had crossed the tactically important Siviesky Donetsk Canal to the south of Bakhmut and, at one location, Ukrainian foot patrols had penetrated into built-up parts of the city itself. It is said Ukrainian assaults had advanced as much as a kilometre, capturing Russian weapons, ammunition and prisoners of war in the process. Slišivka was taken by Wagner Group with heavy losses. Wagner occupied the town after 20 attacks. Thanks to the high hills in the settlement area, it is possible to keep the centre of Bakhmut under fire very easily.

The National School Walkout: What You Need To Know

At 10 am on Wednesday, April 14th, across the country, students staged a school walkout that lasted 17 minutes, one minute each to mourn the victims of Parkland, FL mass murders and to protest for stricter gun control regulations across the country. It was part of nationwide protests that included 7,000 pairs of shoes in front of the Capitol, one pair for each child killed by gun violence since Sandy Hook, and the upcoming protest March For Our Lives, which will see students and gun control advocates march across the country. So what’s this walkout stand for, specifically? ----------------------------------- Click All The Links! ----------------------------------- Watch Can Virtual Reality Cure PTSD? ►► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCj5B4NqqMI&index=17&list=PLSKKhAQmpy_gOIu-Sq7cJOIMFygnfHLNS Watch Mad Max in RL ►► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdUEOup5eOk&index=13&list=PLSKKhAQmpy_gOIu-Sq7cJOIMFygnfHLNS Watch Oil Is In The Water You Drink? ►► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aELhUtH7gAs&index=8&list=PLSKKhAQmpy_gOIu-Sq7cJOIMFygnfHLNS Watch A Mural Made Out Of Blood? ►► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDq_L3TbVAk Watch Can We Save The Honey Bee? ►► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VlaDE2cMAE Watch Tiny Houses For The Homeless? ►► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdG4cG9n9XM& Subscribe to UPROXX for new videos each week ►► https://goo.gl/wWFK2D Check Out Our Social: http://uproxx.com https://twitter.com/uproxx https://facebook.com/uproxx More UPROXX Reports ►► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpyVCqEJ5sc&list=PLSKKhAQmpy_gOIu-Sq7cJOIMFygnfHLNS UPROXX: The premier news and culture platform for the digital generation.

The teen fight for gun control has officially gone national. Thousands of students across the country marched out of their classrooms at 10 a.m. on March 14th, one month after the shooting in Parkland, Florida, to send a clear message to Congress and the nation. Enough is enough. Enough is enough! Enough is enough! The 17-minute protest was both a chance to honor each of the lives lost and an opportunity to protest for stricter gun laws. The students' demands are clear, a call for universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons, and a gun fineless restraining order law. Students from over 3,000 schools from elementary school to college participated in the National Student Walkout, which was organized by Empower, the youth branch of the Women's March. Some students took their demonstrations all the way to the White House and Capitol Hill. While many schools stood behind their students and their right to protest, other schools warned students of disciplinary action, like Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta, where students faced severe punishment if they left campus. Instead, they took a knee inside their school halls. One North Carolina student was the only person in his school to protest. More than 200 colleges from Ivy League schools to state schools have pledged their support to these student activists and said that they won't let suspensions from the walkout affect students' college admissions. Businesses are showing support for the students, too. All Viacom networks, like MTV, BET, and VH1, went dark for 17 minutes at 10 a.m., causing all programming and solidarity with the walkout. Teen activism on gun control has reached new heights following the Parkland shooting, and it's not stopping anytime soon. The next planned demonstration is the March for Our Lives on March 24th in Washington, D.C. Organized by the Parkland survivors, the march already has backing from celebrities like Oprah and George and Amal Clooney. It will feature musical superstars like Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, Miley Cyrus, and Demi Lovato. These students are part of a generation that's grown up in a world where active shooter drills are a normal part of school, and mass shootings have become normalized. But they're also the generation most ready to mobilize and take on politicians and the NRA. Will the rest of the country follow? For Uproxx, I'm Frankie Greek.

tonight we're ready for a lively juicy debate between our ron steward neckly uh... we're going to be debating is christianity true and to start us off we have steward for his up to ten minute intro so steward the floor is all yours and thanks for being here thanks ron thanks ryan so the question is christianity rational well there's about five different definitions of rationality in the westers dictionary all thinking probably the other one is irrational and so rationality is difficult i think a lot of it has to do with what is the hard evidence where the facts it has a lot to do also with can you show it to me what your hypothesis many different definitions we're trying to get down to it in terms of the rationality of christianity tonight in terms of this is there evidence behind it what's a healthy hypothesis in looking at it is their logical consistency are there things like experiential rationality as well as well as evidential uh... intellectual side of it so many different angles i always start with thinking through different world views and i always change up which world view i'm gonna pick on so i've got some some new ones tonight when i think through some materialism you know materialism breaks down for me because if it's true then reason itself is really impossible uh... for because the mental processes i would say are nothing but chemical reactions in the brain so there's no reason to believe really that anything is true uh... chemicals don't reason they react for me materialism clearly breaks down it's it's totally a logical totally non-rational to me pluralism is another one i've been talking about recently with people pluralism breaks down because it's basically saying we all have different parts of an elephant and pluralism is standing outside of the elephant saying that i have the enlightened perspective on spirituality and you are all just holding their parts of an elephant none of you are making real exclusive truth claims and i just want to be a liberal snowflake just pummeling you with an avalanche of tears and and all this supposed tolerance and sensitivity and so i'm gonna say that everything's the same and we know there's internal contradictions with that humanism i think humanism is simply christianity light i think that humanism has just stolen all of the christian values uh... the only thing it hasn't stolen is the story the christian story the narrative which holds all these values together so at the end of the day if you look at it from an evolutionary perspective or scientific perspective it really makes no sense if you're a humanist that is a non-christian relativism i think breaks down as well as another perspective i hear all the time it's true for you it's true for you it's true for me it's true for me i would just ask is that true i would also say my brother's professor at a local university and he could play many cool tricks on students coming in who say oh why did you give me an f on that paper and he could simply say well it's all relative subjective well what's wrong with me giving you an f it's just my subjective feelings there's no objective right and wrong here so there's no real standard i think if we just look at atheism more broadly it's it's really the belief that there was once absolutely nothing and nothing happened to the nothing until the nothing magically exploded for no reason creating everything and everywhere then a bunch of the exploded everything magically rearrange itself for no reason whatsoever into self replicating bits that turned into dinosaurs that's kind of my my reasoning on the rationality of of atheism and and scientism is what oftentimes we get into here on these debates and thinking further through on scientism you know there's really no discovery often times you will say which is science there's science and no god well there's no discovery of science that has the least tendency to show that there is no god peter van in wagon at harvard said that so so science can't prove obviously things like logic and math can't prove it it can't prove metaphysical truths can't prove ethical truths morality is aesthetic judgments science can improve itself because permeated with unprovable assumptions theory of relativity hinges on speed of light and being constant between a and b it's accepted but in a way can it be proven and for me an illustration that i use is is atheism and theism let's say if they were both dabbling in magic and pulling a rabbit out of the hat atheism is worse than magic because you just have the bunny coming out of the hat you have no magician those are some of my world view perspectives that i've been thinking about but getting more specifically into why i am a christian and why i believe it's rational well i think you need to have origin meaning morality and destiny origin where are you coming from big questions that are metaphysical like where did we get all people are created equal where did we get value for human beings why are human beings more valuable than the horse the pony i'm getting for my girls i mean i if that horse suffers at the same level as my girls if that horse has the same level of reasoning say if one of my girls for example was handicapped how why does that horse have the equal value as as my daughter it makes no sense from a place of origin and second meaning there's no objective meaning in atheism there's nothing bright and happy about the ultimate heat death of the universe and our things really not having any long-lasting meaning and purpose all the things that we do all the relationships we stack up here in this planet morality we know there's breakdown in morality objective morality to break down into you know i don't think are in a relativist but i see a very hard state to make in terms of the oddness and the shouldness and the objective morals without a god and then finally destiny you know you gotta make sense of destiny where are you going are you just going to the to gihanna or you just go into the worm pit or is there something more are you are you falling through this life out of this life into the loving arms of the creator and i think we all want that i think c.s. louis was right when he talked about how we long for food we have an appetite and there is food we want for sex and there is sex out there we long for eternity and most likely there is eternity out there so that jives with me that works for me i think for me also the emotional side of christianity and the cultural side tremendously rational i was just in l.a. i just got back from l.a. on a on a popular podcast i i read this quote because i think it's very powerful from one of my favorite writers he's an atheist oddly enough and he said to kenyon college i won't i won't say who it is but well yeah well david foster wallace and the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spirit he says because we all worship something this is an atheist saying it is one of the most brilliant atheists i think in the last fifty years unfortunately hung himself but he said is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive if you worship money and things if they're where you tap real meaning in life then you will never have enough never feel you have enough worship your body and beauty and sexual or and you will always feel ugly and when the time and age starts showing you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you worship power you will end up feeling weak and afraid and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear worship your intellect being seen as smart you will end up feeling stupid a fraud always in the verge of being found out but the insidious thing about these forms of worship is they're unconscious they are default settings everybody worships the only choice we get is what to worship and the compelling reason for maybe choosing maybe choosing some sort of god spirituality thing to worship is that pretty much anything else you worship is going to eat you alive and it's a subconscious matter i see it all the time as a psychotherapist in my office or i'm not too long ago had a brilliant artist i was counseling and she was worshiping her art she ended up in the psych facility unable to get out because her depression was so high and i said you probably want to change that worship into something eternal something something outside of you i've also seen this in victor frankels writings obviously the great psychiatrist who lived through the prisoner of war camps there in nazi germany he said those who didn't worship something outside of the camp something eternal shriveled up and died turned each other in became nasty and brutish the only ones who had a level of buoyancy and happiness and joy even within the death camps were those who had some type of god that that's the emotional side of it and then the real intellectual pieces the gospel reliability me nine observers witnesses but their memories to writing you know you have twenty seven different documents in the new testament that were written on twenty seven different scrolls by nine of these different writers over twenty to fifty years about and now they've been collected into one book and that's the new testament five thousand eight hundred handwritten greek manuscripts nine thousand manuscripts in other languages homer we only get six hundred forty three who runs scrolls huge discovery in the nineteen hundred gigantic five hundred books were you know you have obviously i say a most of isaac on a fragment of the new fragments of every single book in the old testament gigantic in terms of reliability of the bible as a whole you get early testimony uh... my biggest piece of early testimony would be paul first fifteen three through eight uh... you'll stop and flippians too but i would go first printings fifteen three through eight is number one what is passed down what has been passed down to him and i would say the weeks weeks after jesus resurrection we have the immediate preaching of what occurred with the resurrection which is the gospel that's weeks uh... that's the scholarship that i go by uh... so i would just testimony multiple independent sources so you have coherence and dissimilarity with internet catered for historians you know it's not just wild contradictions no there's dissimilarities and there needs to be one of the order some type of collusion eyewitnesses are trustworthy i would say what why would they lie doesn't make any sense women for example trustworthy even the josephus would say that's ridiculous they're untrustworthy so that's any attestation problem-writing evidence from archaeology you know other writers that is the pool so long that's the best uh... i will get into that later but the enemy attestation is also you know roman's jews let's just say the cycle stole the body and that was a rumor that spread for a long time embarrassing details why would they add this about peter and the women doesn't make any sense why they would add that so maybe these disciples these gospel writers were just brilliant fishermen and magically they were able to pull off this amazing stuff maybe maybe i'm not totally against that idea i i i hold myself to be agnostic and at times and so but that that's hard for me to get behind that's time there that's time uh... that's time right there that's time okay all right well thank you guys do it if that's all uh... there uh... will uh... thank you for your opening statement there and i just wanna remind everybody if you didn't see the promo on the intro while you are listening to me do my guitar store my guitar solo work we're gonna be having a live in-person debate says coming up on september sixteen is gonna be live in houston texas so we got uh... link in the description for those tickets uh... and and what's that all we're seeing double look iran's there twice now so uh... with iran's face on the screen two times we're gonna head over to our and for his introductory statement and the four is all yours on a thanks to it for bringing me into two debates and yet not bringing me into one because as you look at the title of this video it is uh... is christianity true that's the one i thought we were gonna have but steward decided that we were gonna have uh... debate on is christianity rational but uh... fortunately he didn't bring an argument for that either so uh... what what what he did do let me know how much he does not know about atheism first of all uh... what is materialism materialism is we both we both accept that there is this material universe i think we both accept that there's a material universe i don't also assume a magical alternative reality like steward does so materialism is not assuming another reality that is not indicated uh... he mentioned that he said that chemicals don't reason uh... i would say that only chemicals reason that the only thing that we can show in the universe that reasons are chemicals and the other thing about how he said the atheism the world view of atheism is that nothing exploded and all of that except that we don't believe there was ever nothing not even laurence krauss believes that i've had the opportunity to talk to a number of cosmologists cosmogonists even in uh... models of cosmogony that have a singularity the singularity is eternal never created it was never a time when it was just nothing and the big bang is not an explosion uh... also science doesn't prove math because math and science are called math and science because they're two different things math has proofs science doesn't science doesn't have to prove anything it's not about that it's about showing what is or is not supported by the evidence uh... there we have objective morality i could argue we want to have a whole separate debate on that about uh... objective reality where christianity can't have objective morality because all you do is all you have is the subjective opinion of whoever's pretending to speak for god's subjective opinion but if you have an actual reason why we can you know uh... a series of uh... criteria do we all agree on how do we determine whether something is moral or immoral then we can use that to judge your bible and your god and determine that he is not moral uh... there's no such thing as destiny and if there was that would that would be yet another thing that would contradict free will uh... we do not all worship something i don't worship anything and there's no other atheist who speaks for me by the way and i don't think i speak for anybody else i can only speak for my own world view or opinion but so far as i know i i think i'm in the majority position on this that we don't all worship and as something uh... and then uh... my one of my problems with my many problems with christianity would be the absence of independent sources all you have or are anonymous claims as there's no corroborating evidence is really no evidence of any kind going to the argument that i thought i was coming here for the one that was pitched to me the one that is in fact advertised on the video uh... is christianity true in the simple answer is of course not uh... christianity is the notion that there is a god and that we have to believe that or will be mercilessly and savagely tortured forever and ever and ever relentlessly for all eternity if we don't believe by a god who supposedly loves us and yet denies us any rational indication of his existence if god existed then it would be his fault that we have all this evidence against him and he would have had to have created all that evidence if he was real he would have had to have created it to deceive us just so that he can judge us for what he did to us and then worse than that christianity has the specific requirement that we are to break the very first commandment by worshiping jesus as god placed ahead of the jewish father god jojoba such that anyone who dedicates their life to some other version of god say as i seek or a hindu or a uh... zoroastrian or a muslim will despite all their sacrifice and all that they've they've given up in devotion to god they will be sent to hell because they didn't declare jesus as their savior so all their piety and whatever they sacrificed is and and all their dedication is meaningless uh... we have to be forgiven for having fallen victim to god's own crime against us when he set and baited the trap in the garden of eden and punished a couple who couldn't be held culpable because god created them without knowing right from wrong and set the conditions such that our failure was inevitable and then he acted like he was surprised and the reason that jesus was supposed to die on the cross was to a tone for our discovery of forbidden knowledge so christianity is largely a retelling of the greek myth where prometheus is bound to a rock to a tone for men discovering the secret of fire that made them like on two gods but none of that ever happened anyway we know that adam and eve are genetically impossible that the story of guard of the garden of eden is just a fable with a moral one who's only possible truth is only a metaphor and a poor one at that and we know for certain that that the tower of babel the global flood of Noah's ark the exodus jona in the whale and so many other stories in the bible are not true and did not happen if those stories were true then god wants to blame us for everything he did but fortunately we know the stories are not true there's nothing to forgive us for and there is no reason to base forgiveness on what or whether someone believes we know it's not a moral issue morality in in christian theology is irrelevant because it doesn't matter how evil you are all all can be forgiven if you but believe but if you don't believe that it doesn't matter how good you are because the only sin that will not be forgiven is the sin of disbelief morality is irrelevant and gullibility is the sole criteria for redemption and then we're only to have any time left you still have three and a half minutes a little extra three and a half minutes well as the let's just go with with with with jesus being the center of everything so he's he's a faith healer who uh... a self-professed faith healer in scammars who actually didn't know anything he said that we could break the jewish tradition of washing our hands because he said that whatever goes into a man's mouth will not corrupt him it's what comes out of his mouth because jesus apparently didn't know anything about nutrition or drugs or poisons or contaminants instead he believed in the power of magic words he was a mystic who had no idea what caused the maladies that he pretended to cure he thought they were caused by demons this is not the guy you want to ask medical advice from uh... he and his disciples were faith healers so proclaimed self-proclaimed exorcist and no different than the fraud still running those scam seminars today he didn't know what the smallest seeds were even according to contemporary farmers who he could have just asked he didn't know when fig season was and the argument that i hear now that the story isn't real that it was a later interpolation just for the symbolism does not help the christian position jesus didn't know that the earth was round and you got one story where the devil takes him up on a high mountain and shows him all the kingdoms of the earth which is impossible on a globe but then jesus says he doesn't know exactly when his return might be he says he hopes that it'll be during that it won't be during winter which shows that either jesus didn't know that there's a southern hemisphere or he didn't he was only here for the jews anyway which he actually said by the way stop that you're making noise knock it off so sorry i have a puppy it's all good so he told his disciples not to go among the gentiles or enter any town of the samaritans but instead to preach only to the jews and jesus said truly i tell you that you will not finish going through the towns of israel before the son of man comes they've been through every town a long time ago and your boy ain't showed up jesus said that some not all but some of the disciples standing with him would not even taste death until they saw jesus seated at the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of heaven but all those people that he said that too died like nineteen hundred years ago at minimum your boy is late you've been stood up he ain't coming whenever time left yeah you still have a whole minute about okay and then the values that that's to mention i mean christian values means no more than intolerance of other people's religious perspectives christian family values simply means hatred of gaze and anybody who's on who's on the spectrum of genderqueer and christian moral values means that excessive violence is perfectly fine whenever you're violating somebody else's rights the level of hypocrisy i mean christianity is all about denying responsibility you don't actually have to help somebody you can just literally wish upon a star that they'll get the help that they need somehow or and you don't have to be responsible for anything you've done because there's no you don't have to to atone for anything you've done wrong because you could just pretend that your magic imaginary friend is forgiven you and because of course he has he's you and then you don't you don't have to be responsible for the environment either because you can just make up the excuse that any minute now jesus will come back and roast anything everything anyway so it doesn't matter that i don't do anything so denial of responsibility there's no truth to christianity ever at all period nothing not a uh... there and here's here's a big one this kind of important we don't have souls ten seconds i've talked to a whole bunch of of neurophilosophers and and neuroscientists and that there is no support for mind body dualism at all period not not a neuroscience not even in philosophy we don't have souls we are our bodies chemicals are the only things that reason and i'll i'll just let it go there awesome well thank you so much iron for your opening statement there in your opening statement from you as well steward just want to remind everybody here in modern-day debate we are a neutral platform and we will host debates on science religion politics you name it hit us up uh... we're excited to have this open discussion so let's kick it off uh... over to you steward uh... uh... to kick us into our open discussion and thanks for being here fellas but i like why you're at a people good idea you're on you were right now okay so i like that list a lot i'm gonna be honest i'm honest and saying that i am going to start with reliability of the gospels i went to you were saying no sources when i gave nine i didn't get to my resurrection piece which there's this incredible historical background for the resurrection itself i didn't say i had no sources i said they were anonymous i know when i hear that i don't i don't understand that because who wrote them with the age with the age of where they are placed the names fit perfectly and we would actually have a better idea of the names we would hold them to be more credible than even the dates but we all hold the dates to be credible where they're at so how can you think they're anonymous well because we we don't have their names and because not eat the date the dates would be the closest thing to credible if there was an agreement on the dates but you know that the gospel writer is questionable matthew martin had the advantage of you know what so when i started doing my blasphemers bible study you know i started getting in with uh... some people with some scholarship and and uh... i've had the advantage of seeking to a number of biblical scholars on this topic and so i was surprised at how weak the bible actually is i i was surprised to find out that it was worse often i thought and what's interesting about that is i've had the exact opposite experience with atheists like tom holland the great historian over at oxford i loved him in spider-man uh... i'm told i look like him actually which is the biggest compliment i've i've gotten this year and so the impact of the bible worldwide is what all these atheistic thinkers i'm listening to them say that you know that they go on a debate the a c grailings of the world who who hate them saying that but fascinating as an atheist first eight years i guess tom holland might be agnostic but this gets that i'm glad you said that is this this goes right into what you finished there in your comments you know i've got a lot of the resurrection that we go to kids because i do know that this debate was on is christianity true and i'm glad you you fix my you caught my rationality there but why when you state something you just stated there's no truth to christianity ever at all why does a guy like barkman last month come out and say that yes compassion as an idea more than just a feeling came about in this world through christianity and jesus christ himself way way but barkman doesn't realize that the compassion predates christianity no his whole point was that compassion was a ridiculous idea in the world specifically the roman empire pre-jesus because it was all about those who are in power had dominance and it was considered grave weakness by the greeks in the romans to actually say your god is gonna become a slave as a servant and die down here and he's become human and so that's why barter man i can't speak to whatever those famous would say yes give you a i can't speak to whatever ermine was talking about in that moment i mean if we want to isolate it to the romans yeah i've read stuff from the romans that was hugely prejudiced uh stuff that i adamantly disagree with but you can't say that christianity came from chris or excuse me that the compassion came from christianity when it predates christianity and not just in the middle east but in the orient as well so we have a lot of compassionate writers from long before the time of jesus so that that that comment just doesn't make any sense at all he was referring more to the level of compassion because we you and i have talked about this i believe before when i i agree there's places in the in the gita that obviously the golden rules stand across all religions but and there's places in the gita that talk about you know being friend to your neighbor i don't know how the gita would define the secular philosophers in the fourth century through the first century but hold up but there was nothing anywhere remotely close to jesus christ saying to die for your enemies like i want to see that so that's why it's such a radical take on compassion that spread through christianity that's why barred ermine would agree on this with a christian and so and i'm not saying this to point that christianity is true the reason why i wouldn't say that christ that christ uh that that jesus was compassionate either no i mean there's a number of places where jesus just straight up lies saying that everyone who asked for anything will get it and that if you simply he was a mystic you know he believed that that that the power of positive thought would change reality so if you make believe hard enough you could make a mountain jump into the sea you just had to believe believe believe and he said that if you just make believe hard enough then his his disciples should be able to perform better miracles than he did and and then his uh of course which they didn't and then specifically says that the faith will be able to exercise demons and speak in new tongues and survive drinking poison or you're being bitten by venomous snakes when the reality is that snake handlers still die when they get bit faith healing doesn't work demons are not real and no two people who speak in new tongues can actually understand each other because it's not an actual language it's gibberish and that's all that is and then in Matthew 10 which jesus says you know don't don't don't suppose that i came to bring peace but a sword right he says that he's come to turn a man against his father and a daughter against his mother or her mother and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law the man's enemies will be the members of his own household because he's a cult leader and so he's trying to divide people over their misplaced faith in him and then who you know whoever does not pick up the cross is not worthy of me whoever finds their whoever uh does not hate their their uh whoever loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me and then so here's a guy who one day believes in demons right and this is the same chapter where he promised that he would be that he would return during his disciples lifetime and then in Luke 14 he continues his rant saying that you can't be one of his disciples unless you hate your mother and your father and your brother and your sister and your wife and even your own life and of course this directly contradicts John 3 15 and 4 20 but then the bible contradicts itself constantly so here's this guy that has for no reason at all doesn't know dick about jack has just erected himself as some kind of you know faith healer cult leader he's the same kind of bullshit scam otters we still have running seminars today and he's made himself the center of this religion and yet how odd this this uh cult leader who came from absolutely nothing as in like a feeding trough nothing how odd that he turns out to be more famous with more biographies written about him than the roman emperor of the time through no credit of his own sure because this was this was odd no less though the people who the people who supposedly follow him now do exactly the opposite of everything he taught he was a renunciate he was advocated that no rich person could get into heaven that you're supposed to sell all your clothes and give them to the poor oh and pay your taxes he advocated he argued against basically against the entire republican party today which is a surprising thing and then um except on abortion sexuality and i'm sorry what except on abortion and sexuality but the others you're right well numbers five took care of that so i mean we're that's already having and and uh also some jewish scriptures we also we have advocation of of abortions with god's direct involvement and assistance so i just hold on aren't what see i loved all the topics you brought up actually i'm gonna be honest you brought up my favorite topics out of any debate i've ever had on this show in terms of the amount you brought up and just how interesting they were but then the slip was showing at the end here i'm gonna go back to no truth to christianity ever at all so you're saying jesus and i stand by that okay so you're saying all values are false all jesus his life perhaps i did not say that all values are false sources no i did not say that all values are false i said there's no truth to christianity like there's no truth to any religion there's nothing there's nothing that any religion can show that they got more right than all the other religions nothing okay they can't and all of them together can't even show that there's a there there the whole all of religions combined can't show that there's a supernatural at all a supernatural at all right well let's just go over that then real quickly yeah so we're gonna go through the standard run of things i've seen a thousand times and you're gonna pretend as if this is your gameplay okay well all right fine i'll just do fact checking then on everything because if you don't want to go all my because the resurrection evidence has been updated very recently but what you said on faith was just malarkey i didn't say i don't say anything on faith nothing i said was malarkey then faith you said faith is what is fully determined god is is based off of your faith some type of wish fulfillment and whether you connect to it or not then you're gonna go to hell if you don't if you don't really connect with it and so i that is i don't think that's what i said at all you are judged on whether you believe in christianity you're and you're given a completely binary sentence which is utterly ridiculous i don't know if you get you get the impossible promise the the impossible promise of a posthumous reward for believers and then non-believers are faced with the threat of a fate worse than death that is so far extreme and so over the top in both directions that it negates itself there is no way that an actual considerate nor that a day being at all of any kind of superior intelligence would allow there to be a hell it certainly wouldn't have a judgment of the type that you're talking about where it's extremely binary what would be the opposite of supreme goodness then if it's a complete attrition of it what would it be why would i need an opposite of supreme goodness if god is supreme goodness or let's just say a place let's look okay but your god is not but let's pretend for a moment that it is why would i need to come up with it an opposite for you don't need to you don't need to i'm just saying the opposite of would be what the opposite god would be what that's why the eternal merciless torture in hell that would be the exact opposite of your god that's why hell was the first thing that i had to let go of even as a young christian because i realized that hell was inconsistent with god but there's so much iso jesus going here that i just want to do a little exegesis and one of them being just here for the jews for example then you got to explain the good samaritan why is the samaritan raised up you got to explain the samaritan the woman at the well in john chapter four there is no way you can set up a case that jesus was just here for the jews the jews were the chosen people in the old he did say that over again over and over again yes you did what's that he did say that over and over again yes and he was just here for the jews and yes he actually said that a number of times then all these other examples were given especially in the book of revelation about and then every tribe in nation in the lations and then all these examples of welcoming samaritans so what is he just contradicting himself completely i would guess so yes because that happens a lot in the bible as you've noticed i'm sure no i think it's beautifully put in in order to not see contradictions but a level of tension that makes you actually look deeper he does not speak in total black and white nor is the bible spoken completely in black and white and that's what i'm talking about so you're you're denying the heaven and hell option gospels the beauty of the history of the gospels is again any good historian or literalist would talk literaryist would talk about the importance of the tension not contradiction but the tension in in reporting and writing i think the only possible beauty in the gospels is that they're not historical how do we know that well because one they're not part of history they're not they're not backed by any historian wait tom holland just backed it tom holland annie murray temporary historians again going back to bart ermann bart ermann bart ermann argues that there was a historical jesus but jesus was not a historical character because he's not recognized by any contemporary historian not one i don't want to cut anybody off but uh unfortunately it is the case that uh when you do speak over stewart his audio is cutting out completely so those little nuances between the open discussion are getting a little bit lost on the internet trail so uh just if we could mitigate a few of the interruptions that would be okay just so that uh it's not as open as what we'd like it to be but that's okay if stewart wants to challenge me that there is truth to creationism excuse me if that there is truth to christianity making a distinction there he's welcome to show me what that truth is truth to christianity is that what you said yeah i mean that's the that's the debate right that's exactly what the debate is so show me show me truth of christianity so show me something that christianity teaches that's apart from anybody other religion that is actually true okay okay wait a second are you asking for me to to teach you something on jesus's teachings that's true or am i giving evidence here for like the reliability of the gospels and resurrection yeah okay so if we were talking i will go by you i feel like i'm bringing up hinduism and i was going to bring up something that hinduism teaches that is actually true and this and then therefore this is the truth of hinduism this shows that hinduism is true yeah that i would i would be giving some kind of uh i'd be giving evidence for that the type of theology that they're that they're talking about i would be able to show that there is a there there i you can't do that that's why you've used the opening arguments that you did because they all they all demonstrate that you already know we can't go there no no i hear so many secularists say things like agreeing with the basic facts on the resurrection for example that there was a well-known tomb of joseph of erith erema thea that women whose testimony we thrown out of court of law were the first eyewitnesses that even joseph joseph said that that the disciples had some type of experience and that then people like paul and james were converted but even before that there was an incredible historical context with people like zutonius calcis joseph is all of these are at least 10 of them historical non-christian writers who weren't just talking about jesus existing and dying on a cross but they were even setting up that that jesus was a miracle worker so you got to explain that one if we're just going to toss out jesus a miracle worker because his disciples said so fine but then you got to you got to talk to me about the 10 then you have them talking about the christian talk to you about the what christian started worshiping on a third day why do they talk to you about the what i think he missed what you said they're doing the miracle work my confusion there is then why were there so many secular historians and emperors and eyewitnesses saying that he was a miracle worker you mean why were there no eyewitnesses what do you mean what why was there not one eyewitness i would they say that why would joseph is why would who say that why would joseph is zutonius and calcis all say that he was a miracle worker okay so lots of people doing the little bit in magic tricks like faith healers still do today i don't have a problem with that but we don't have eyewitnesses we have claims of eyewitnesses we have claims that 500 people saw this we don't have a single testimony from any one of those 500 we don't have 500 testimonies we just have a single claim that 500 anonymous people saw this matthew mark john paul james and all the anonymous those are not the authors of those gospels how do you know that because one they're not identified as that we just that they just arbitrarily put names on that they're not written from the first person perspective identifying the authors in that case so there's no reason to associate other than the the fact that tradition has put those names on it well the full burden of proof is on you for that one okay i just gave it i don't that did not sound sufficient to get out from underneath okay so we have no reason to believe that those are the names that belong there even barred ermin even though he even though he makes that point he does not hold solidly to that point does he allow that maybe maybe luke was actually the author of luke maybe mm-hmm but matthew and mark no so we have we have a hard maybe on luke maybe hard no on mark and luke oh mark and matthew and then john fknup that we got a completely different story on john we have a propagandist writing an entirely different tale in the case of john okay so i don't again we have to look at the whole logic of it we know adamany didn't happen we know that none of the original sin thing happened we know that at the most of the things that jesus is teaching for they're all wrong he got all of that wrong the supernatural aspect is all wrong that the moral judgment of it for you know the heaven and hell aspect all of that is wrong so what's not wrong what's actually true well i'm still stuck on these gospel writers because again the burn approves on you and you i don't think you've given me a good enough evidence to believe that it was not those four second okay so the experts agree we just had this the experts agree that maybe i would they be not hard yes but maybe and tell me maybe luke was written by luke hold on a second oh familiar matthew and mark were not written by matthew and mark and neither was john why were they so familiar with things like botany you know with luke talking about for example oh you mean jesus getting the wrong size the seeds wrong and i would data figs wrong familiarity one second there are we'll let steward expound on what he's thinking there just for a second just because his audio is cutting out my audio always goes i notice that for all these debates are the cards and is the deck stacked against me here ryan you need to get one of these i should not look at your chat these people hate me they lie about me every other post don't be lying about our speakers in the chat give them yeah tell me i hate my father all kinds of shit you'd be amazed at the slander going on here all of it wrong well i'm gonna pop in there and i get that i look like a disney villain okay fine that doesn't mean i'm actually evil well i'm gonna pop in there right quick and just mitigate the chat a little bit make sure you're being kind in there and your usual oh they're fucking everybody i'm just not even gonna look at this because it's bad oh no well uh just to remind everybody to hit the like button uh you know regardless of what you're saying haters be haters we don't mind you you know you know sweat off our back you know we'll move on without you uh we still got up to 30 minutes of open discussion everybody so make sure that you're sharing this out in those contentious spaces you'll like to have those debates and let's uh keep it rolling fellas so let's pass it back to you stewart there and keep the conversation rolling all right let me get my verbosity out for one second then you respond i see the problem with your what you're positing right now is there's no nobody has brought a great case where they're like i am certain the gospel writers we got the names wrong everybody's like speculation i don't know if it really was them so my case for them actually being the correct ones were their names were on the documents from the very beginning and so if you're gonna trust even the narrative of the gospel which aren't i don't think you do you're gonna have to trust that if you actually trust the dating and the names now i think the names obviously jive with the culture at the time you know you got obviously the names that they bring up all the time are simon peter joseph matthew all those names are the names that were used then you have bought i trust the gospel of thomas probably more than i trust the other four yeah well the gospel of thomas is barely any any copies yeah i i realize that but it's got the only wisdom from jesus in it what was that when his disciples asked him what he thought about about circumcision and jesus said that if god meant for us to be circumcised we would have been born without foreskin so that makes perfect sense i didn't know that passage that is the bumper sticker right there like that so what is that a factory recall so so they get names right then they get botany right the sycamore tree how do they get botany right and why is that relevant they use things like the sycamore tree for example a luke look chapter 19 was that kias he climbs up into the sycamore tree okay for the olive for example garden of get seminy connected and the relevance there it's all it's all botany so i'm just saying that they know so jesus getting the the date of figs wrong and the size of the smallest seed wrong that's that's the the gospel is getting botany right well that's jesus i'm talking about the gospel writers right now no what could you write what the fuck does jesus know so we're talking about looking for the truth of christianity right so that there's a god and you have to believe in in jesus for whatever reason and if you don't believe in jesus then it doesn't matter what you how you dedicate your life you're going to hell because there's a hell because god is a punk and completely unjust an unrighteous judge and you've got this eternal damnation either way right because if you go to heaven that's eternal damnation too you just don't realize it the first day in the door it'll take you a couple of days to realize that that's hell too so where's the truth of christianity where's the true part of christianity the true part i would say in terms of the teaching is the brilliancy of if god if there is a god it would make a whole lot of sense for god to meet humanity in physical form and punching doesn't he already automatically do that with every creation what do you mean the only way i can view this is if i was a god i would automatically feel because he's telepathic i would be able to feel that that every paramecium i would know what sensations they're going through i would be able to sense every fucking thing i wouldn't need to create some hippy based on what you know the image of the borges and then in order to forgive somebody for something they never did in the first place which is another important point that never happened but even if it did happen i would have the unconditional love that doesn't have conditions i would be able to forgive without having my people have to do something unforgivable first so you wouldn't have to kill jesus to stay out of hell because i would be a good god not even great god but i would be a better god than your god i wouldn't allow there to be a hell because that's stupid it's not possible to earn an eternal damnation you you can't be bad enough 10 000 hitlers times square do you you can't be bad enough to be worth hell so then you disagree with david foster wall is then when he says okay he can be wrong too i don't care oh it's here on earth and simply eternal hell is just that hell writ large because your hell on earth here is the imposter syndrome that you have to live with when you worship something like your looks or your job i don't worship anything remember what's that i don't worship anything it was one of the many things you got wrong when you tried to describe atheism i know you hate the word because you hate everything the only thing i hate is injustice my favorite part about you is your emotional bias which i like i don't have an emotional bias i don't hate anything either except for injustice that includes lies and that's what pits me against religion well here okay so god let's go back to your original question because it's a good one well let's take for example okay god meets us in different ways and you would say no i have had it i just said yes i just said that i then for example i think god would would know everything that we know every pain that we feel god would know all of it how do you know he doesn't why would you have to do as you said where he creates his himself as his son oh by the way i need to show people this shirt are you there god it's me you because i just that's that's how ridiculous christ christianity is and i sidetracked myself remind me where were we then one of those to ryan i think ryan wants one okay me no no i'm just i'm just hanging out i thought a little but i ryan don't know so why would god have to create his son stupid idea to to then have to sacrifice his son the idea that he ever demanded to sacrifice it all again stupid again evidence against god so that he could forgive us when he could have just forgiven us anyway and it was entirely his fault everything that went on in the fable of the garden he did that he did and it was all wrong but you know it doesn't matter because it didn't happen so no truth no no original sin no adam and eve no tower babble no global flood of Noah's ark no exodus no Jonah in a whale none of that none of that happened so even if there was a jesus what do you got you got a first century faith healer you've got the kenneth copeland of the first century big fucking deal so jesus is trying to come up with his his his first century version of the citation jet while telling everybody else that they have to sell all their clothes and go into the poor house so that they can support the poor now maybe they're donating their money to jesus i don't know how he's funding his operation i remember that um that um how what was it bobby tilton here in dallas a big mega preacher he was donating all this money to a charity a boys charity uh for orphans in Haiti which here's a surprise i know you don't see this coming it was confirmed that that that orphanage never existed and the reason it was in Haiti was so that he could fund the money out that he was getting hundreds of millions of dollars in people and funding it up supposedly the charity now i don't know that jesus was doing that but it sounds like the same kind of scam well then i don't know why in the world you have the mother teresa don't you start that mother teresa line on me i have to say a word i don't know she already realized what a bad argument that is it really hurts my feelings when anybody speaks ill of mother teresa my wife works in the mother teresa home cutting a lot of toenails but for me it's the whole piece on your original question if there is a god how would he meet us and i gave one example of he became human here on this earth which he didn't need to do i am very pro psilocybin and dmt and a lot of these drugs because these have shown that 40 of heart atheists became theists after these drug trips so i think that that's another way that god meets us wait wait i i one of the things that really impresses me about talking to believers is the citations of statistics that can't be backed up and any claim of fact look it up never never backed up i was a couple of weeks ago i was i was in washington state protesting oh what the fuck is his name the blonde boy who who claimed that he went to uh to to to satan con and converted 98 satanists to jesus but he couldn't come up with name one not one person he had a handful of pictures that he took with people for people who just were polite enough to pose for pictures with him and were satanist before they went there and our satanists still so we got this guy lyin right lie lie lie he said that the 28th that the 20 satanists had run away when there's 40 of us still standing there at the end of the day so lie lie lie that's what i get christianity nothing but lies can you show me something that isn't just another stupid lie sure statistically christians give away the most statistically statistically according to multiple op-ed writers at the new york times right now who went down to africa they said they had the same view as you and they said if africa didn't have christians the aids epidemic would be off the charts it's the same christians on the front lines they're the main ones pushing for anti-sex trafficking right now so what's the largest denomination of christianity there's and this is not we can have that debate in terms of i'm i asked them just asking the question what is the largest denomination christianity well hold on to that one stewart let's wrap up your point okay wait ryan i didn't hear you oh i said uh hold on to his question he wants you to finish it's okay i want you to ask the question i just wanted to make sure you wrapped up your point there i can't remember my point but i'll i'll just finish a previous point to the question so god meets us through dmt and psilocybin and marijuana god only exists in those forms done here to this planet in human form to physically connect with us god is now statistically i have friends who are on the mission field in muslim territories who all say that thousands of muslims are becoming christians because they're having dreams where they're meeting christ god comes to us via and i'm gonna challenge you on that one too because there's no way you're gonna be able to verify that of inmates of inmates who are across the country and all the christian rescue missions they're all christian based the oxford group based obviously a a some of those are non christian now all of these are meeting god as a at least at least not as a christian god but as a higher power to get outside of self in order to have a relationship with him where they worship something other than the finite and by doing so they get healthy so that's a few ways that god meets us i think and and it makes sense you know a lot of your tours i'm gonna say that most of what you just said is indefensible bullshit yes i agree now when you said that christians give more than most people i'll concede that one because christians are the largest demographic if you include the largest body of christians but then what is the largest denomination of christians that's catholics they're slightly over half of all christians collectively are catholics feasing what's that they're decreasing greatly but yes they will the entity as a whole is decreasing greatly but regardless catholicism is still over half of all christians are catholics agreed it depends on you call catholic christians because so many people don't consider okay so if catholics are not christian then christians are the fourth largest religion islam is the dominant faith followed by catholicism on some charts that may be followed by hinduism that you because catholics and hindus are very close to the second place position and then the fourth place would be protestant christianity so if you if you eliminate christ catholics well then you're you're in a very minority position if you maintain the largest denomination of christianity being catholics let's not forget that hope benedict who i prefer to call darth ratsinger went into went went into africa arguing that the use of condoms causes aids he said that this is the leader of the largest denomination of christianity and you want to say that if what if it wasn't for christianity you know if the the the aids epidemic would have been widespread right fuck because of christianity the aids epidemic was widespread across africa because fucking darth ratsinger said that because what about all the marches right now by the atheists who are saying we are here we are queer and we're coming for your children i mean i'd say there's some serious indoctrination going on here for these poor kids we're coming for your children are you sure you didn't quote that off of fox news i'm just saying this i have marched in a gay pride march i'm not gay but i you know representing an atheist group i have marched in a gay prayer i don't remember anybody saying we're coming for your children except except for the christians who come to my door asking me how can we best target target you that word target children well who would you rather meet in the back alley a christian or an atheist atheist absolutely well if it was you because we know that the men in dresses molesting children are not the trans people hey teachers are doing that more than priests are and i'm not a i do we have statistics for that really i mean how many how many religious leaders do we have to find out we're actually not just doing it themselves but we're covering up for other pedophiles as well how many how many times do we have to have some homophobic leader of a you know family organization because all the religious groups have the word family in it just means that they hate gays so this doesn't decrease the credibility for jesus christ though does it but we don't we don't start from we start from zero there is still no credibility we have a first century faith healer who was wrong about everything that's what we start from and then build up to what we build up to the guy didn't know anything then then died yeah he said he was coming back while some of his apostles or some of his disciples and us would still be alive he didn't he failed their dad he's 1900 years late he didn't say in their lifetime yeah he did some of you some of you standing here some of you will not even taste of death before they see that you know the son of man coming at the right hand of power in the kingdom with the clouds and all that kind of shit that was about the collapse of the temple 70 ad didn't happen they never saw jesus returning in the clouds at the right hand of power never happened what was promised did not occur do you honestly believe this whole piece on jesus and faith and that's if you just aren't smart enough you can't grasp this faith you're just going to hell i mean look at how he dealt with for example you know the man who was going to heal the son when the man said i do believe help my unbelief jesus doesn't scold him or for example when encountering peter i also i do believe that jesus didn't actually revive somebody who was literally dead jesus what i don't believe that jesus revived anyone who was actually dead i believe that i believe that jesus did the same kind of bullshit stick that we've seen peter popov do that we've seen bobby tilton doing and and all of these other faith healers where they where they they they now where they've shown how midgets grow and they hire somebody to sit down in a wheelchair to wheel them on stage so that they can have them walk so they can make a good stage performance out of it and then worse things when you have somebody that's actually convinced that they could that they're been healed and they can stand up out of their wheelchair and they can stand for a moment and now oh yeah that's great now put her back in the chair and wheel her offstage and tell them that they don't need their medication and my friend james randy went to go visit one of these people who did this performance on stage and it was televised and he wanted to go see did she actually a week later did she actually not have to have her medication anymore and when he shows up they're wheeling her out in a gurney dead the religion versus jesus christ and the christian faith religion versus jesus christ no is there different christ is religion no no you brought up what's the world's dominant religion i do not believe that jesus or paul teaches me to go and handle snakes right now who will bite me and kill me do you think it's because i am just deflecting from certain passages in the bible and i'm not actually reading in context or translating you are ignoring certain passages that do clearly say that yes honestly don't believe that that's contextual okay well this one i'm not going to argue for the the the literacy of scripture i will only say that nobody reads the bible more literally than atheists because we don't need to make up any bullshit excuses for what for when it says something we can't allow it to mean a wish always an atheist because that'd be so how many times have i brought up when people say well the bible says this and i say no it doesn't say that and they say yes it does i'm like show me well i can't show you well that's the way it always is isn't it but if i say that the bible says something i can bloody well show you right exactly where it says that and when they say well it doesn't say that then i show them and they say well that's not what it says becomes that's not what it means and that's i love that you do that because they oftentimes go into their little priest and their little priest says don't ask those questions just listen to me and when that occurs and it's not their faith at all and when that occurs it's a total abuse of power you and i agree because that exactly happens somebody finds some horrible thing that the bible really does say they go and visit their priest with it and the priest says just don't ask those questions because dickless ain't got no answer well this might be a good time everybody uh to we got 15 minutes left uh of the open discussion so it might be a good time to focus specifically on the resurrection uh for the next uh you know or try to you know you guys command or all you want but if we can focus on that just for the debate topic and then we'll move into our q and a uh and let's keep it rolling remember everybody to hit that like button i hear if we pass 666 likes on a live stream bruce dickinson will appear and sing the whole number of the beast album it's just a wives tale but let's find out if it's true um all right let's like how people are criticizing me for not coming up with bullshit excuses when i read the scripture that i just read it at read what it says and take it that it says that people are criticizing me for that in your chat they're not they're not my tribe don't worry all right to the resurrection where did paul get again what that he received that received that he probably received it i'm so from my perspective from peter and james when he visited them in jerusalem three years after his conversion so you have that glacians 118 so most scholars believe that that testimony was part of that early creed that i reference that dates right back to the resurrection itself so i witnessed testimony within weeks some would say months so there's no time for there to be a legend that goes about and it obviously occurred the resurrection right in jerusalem so it would be so so easy for both the romans and the jews to say yep here's the body this is ridiculous this is a hoax let's get on with it so the resurrection hypothesis without forcing it i believe has totally explanatory scope and power and it really couldn't be any better than than what it is i mean aren't like science you know if you think about we've never seen a black hole and probably never will or quark or subatomic are several now rings but the reason okay just as example the reason why these things are positive is because we see certain effects so you posit a hypothetical theoretical causes that could result in these effects you understand this they've actually seen several black holes now that would hold on don't get stuck in the black holes that would boost these kinds of effects so therefore even though we've never seen a black hole you know it's a good explanation profitable one on how we can get certain things so i would say in the same sense of historian could say that posit god as a theoretical entity as the cause for the resurrection of jesus so paul's the best source to support jesus's resurrection i've said that before and these are creole can i just declare victory with that statement from you that paul is your best evidence for the resurrection can i just win with that why if that's the best you've got why are we still talking about this no that's just one of nine i gave nine he's just one name don't you worry eight more name nine anonymous buckle up until q and a so that could not be in a follower brother i mean while he's alive and he dies and becomes this martyr he gets thrown from a balcony and the poor james is dead but they're still beating him to death according to tradition at the bottom and the dirt and we get plenty trajan zutonius josephus talking about jesus's brother was crucified james excuse me james his brother was crucified what are we going to do about this he was a miracle worker all of a sudden now what i find is very interesting and which which uh which jesus is this the james the brother of the one that's anointed because we have jesus of damneus and then jesus ben ananias and christians will will point to both of those and say hey that's our guy when neither one is and we know that and your chat is i'm irritated all the people who constantly accuse me of lying when i don't lie and the reason i'm not religious is because i don't lie and religion is just a lie that's a very christian response that's not a very christian response why is it typical that's a very that's a very christian you sound like a christian when you're saying that with your righteous indignation oh that i'm a christian because i said i don't lie yeah because i can prove that what i said is justified yeah whereas when a christian speaks they just utter empty assertions as if that's a matter of fact well sure that goes on i just think you're a goldfish swimming in a pond of these christian values and and you don't realize christian values that predated christianity and that christianity largely denies no the legal system was fully formed based off of the laws that of of the vikings boot system of the jd o christian values but not of christian values not not american laws so i think he's going wild right now yeah let's stay on the resurrect not based on christian anything this is key this is this is the latest resurrection evidence tacitus talked about the third day as a day of worship that the christians changed and then he talked about how the movement stopped and then broke out again in judaea before spreading from how accurate he was talking posthumously about a cult not the guy himself these are non-christian sources right talking posthumously about a cult not the not not uh uh contemporary historians people later talking about the cult not the guy and it wouldn't matter if they were talking about the guy because we're not talking about jesus we're talking about christianity why does it matter though why does it so so facts no matter the theology doesn't matter all right you you tell me what matters in the world why in the world would that matter if they are enemies they do not want christianity to exist if they are backing up the full narrative even if it is 50 to 100 years later that doesn't matter they're saying this is the history that's been passed down and we're going to write in our history books why does it matter whether christianity exists so you're saying that they were duped by the christians then no that's not what i'm saying at all i'm saying i i asked why does you you made an assumption yet another of many baseless and false assumptions that you have made you made the assumption that that i'm thinking that somebody needs to say that christianity doesn't exist why would they need christianity not to exist what does it matter i'm not following right i'm not following it because nothing you're saying about you know atheism is true nothing you're saying about my position is true i'm i'm just a loss of all the nonsense you're playing out of the resurrection topic right now you're pulling a quick one and it's smart because it's i'm not pulling a quick one i'm i'm genuinely confused by the bullshit you're slinging i really don't know where you're coming from service and i get it walk we don't have souls and that's a big problem for the current version of christianity now the original version of christianity where we're all supposed to be walking undead some way maybe but but now we know we don't have souls so that's a problem because that means that the concept of god having you know taking our souls away and leaving our bodies behind that's just factually void now which which version of christianity you are arguing for i'm arguing for the resurrection right now i'm not talking about any denomination or souls i'm not talking about denominations either i'm talking about during jesus's time when he said you wouldn't die you would just continue living they and and when they were talking about uh the undead souls of the saints would be like getting up and walking around right there's that version or there's the the modern reinterpretation where we have these invisible spirit pieces in us that like look like us but are like you know a spiritual component of us that gets out and then you know drives another vehicle or goes it goes away somewhere right is that what you're arguing for do we have an invisible soul in this according to you no that's a good question because i want to get what why you're so certain there is not a soul in a second let me answer first what is a prophet a man if he gains the whole world yet forfeits his soul i'm writing a book on this topic okay first book we'll see how good but what soul means there contextually is the soul is the physical it's the social the relational it's the emotional context you don't believe in the supernatural soul all is the whole person so you don't believe in a supernatural direction we're not going to be floating souls we're going to be physical relational body so i'm looking for a yes or a no here you don't believe in a supernatural soul i just gave you my answer it but it is undeterminable as a yes or no do you believe that when the body dies that there's this like i don't know transparent maybe crystal blue version of you that goes walking along in a misty form where it floats up without feet whatever do you believe in a in a supernatural component of spiritual aspect that animates life do you do you believe that when you're when when darth vader cuts your body down that that luke will be able to talk to the phosphorescent blue sparkling you later you put it so beautifully you're kind of making an attractive idea for me so maybe but yes i believe that there is all of in our language is our and raw myself steward yourself our experience not connected to our bodies in the sense of when we're talking about our personal selves selfhood i think that that could be connected to this little blue guy who's going to be floating away perhaps when we die perhaps it's connected to near-death experiences okay so you do believe in this spiritual thing that supposedly exists in or integrated with or interfused with our body that when our physical body dies there's some spirit like what yoda said you know we are luminous beings not this crude matter yeah yeah i think i think it makes a lot more sense the way you put it it doesn't make much sense i agree but the way i would put it i think it makes total sense when it comes into okay well then make your attempt to make that make sense because i've talked to some leading philosophers and they don't think it makes sense at all what can steward say well you gotta talk to jp morland then he's the best contest so steward can't say anything no but steward's about to say it steward just gave two answers and he started in on a third but then got rudely interrupted and his his train of thought is is lacking right now but coming back i think everything my third point would be the self selfhood personhood this innate drive metaphysical drive that came out of the bible even the harry potter fans would say this even you know sweet jk rowling who says she's a christian says that the metaphysical piece of equality for all and the soul outside of the body is something that we all believe truly in whether we are going to be honest about it or not you're not just noro so if i disagree with you i'm dishonest is that the poisoning of the well that we're doing right now see the alternative is just your neurochemicals and neurons you're a moist if i disagree with you that i'm being dishonest is that the picture you're painting now you're a moist robot and you're only getting moisture right now is so that is the poison that you're putting into the well what is that if i disagree with you because of course i do and you knew that before you said it but it's not because i'm dishonest it's because christianity is dishonest and asserts baseless speculation as if it was a matter of fact which is fundamentally a lie no i think are see we're getting into more of the experiential right now i think scientifically when you brought up to me once or was it your buddy um t jump your buddy t jump when we were we had this debate on the soul and he's he is hoping a prayer and he's not here i like the guy nothing bad against him he's hoping a prayer was hey yeah you can look at you know if a person dies um you can look at his memories and actually people can write out his memories and he was trying to make a case for the brain and and i think that fails every single time because i think there's something immaterial that we cannot nail down scientifically and when you look at it it explains our experience and you can go to near-death experiences for example there's something outside of arans physical body and simply his neurochemicals that is attached to love consciousness meaning and purpose that that is connected to a soul now if you want me to give the soul a physical description no i the soul is outside of my body now is it no those things are attached to and give evidence to something in your experience that's you that's not just your body and you've got to be able to get on board with that i i i think that's pretty logical i think the way you put it yeah you're right it is a logical in the sense of this this blue avatar oh oh we have a cute doggie we actually only have one more minute so everybody we've been listening to steward's definition of the soul iran's refutation of the soul and now we're looking at a cute puppy so i i wish i wish that i there's one thing that you have as an advantage to me and that religious people regardless of religion have as this advantage and you that's that you can just say whatever the fuck you want to say as if it's true i don't have that ability i call that lying if i can't show the truth of it and i say it's true that's a lie and yet never do i see an r and r say yes to steward on is atheism rational but maybe you will you will say yeah not believing impossible nonsense for no good reason is definitely rational yes no no there's there's a world view that you have and see your yeah and that's that's being rationalism that is literally that's the definition of a worldview i would love to deconstruct that one we actually yeah well that that's another debate unfortunately they sold you the wrong one you came for the wrong one and you didn't come prepared for that one no you are slamming the door before i can give anything but you you thought you were arguing whether christianity was rational and the arguments that you made the disjointed runken stupor arguments that you made i'm not drinking with rationalism i'm not drinking or drinking right now we we sir i was gonna say no as a correction right i'm i'm sorry gents so i was trying to cut in there this might be a good time to go into the q and a we do have quite a few questions coming in uh you know hopefully everybody's been enjoying this and definitely hit that like button we were just ending off our discussion about is christianity true uh with some notions uh of our thoughts about the soul so we're gonna kick it into q and a so thank you everybody for being here and once again a reminder that we're doing a live event and iron's gonna actually be there that's gonna be saturday i got a number 16 i think you do you already said you would buddy i'm sorry i mean if you don't show up now we're gonna we're gonna say things about j you know we'll be like that guy that guy i won't tip one back with him you know next no i will i always will reading is yeah richard clark fuck you no i haven't been caught in any lies i don't talk well i should never remind our live chat because there are nice people and there are not so nice people and then there's richard clark richard clark you're getting called out sorry buddy uh that happens sometimes on live stream be polite uh so uh just want to remind everybody exactly that keep your q and a's friendly because i'm not going to read them if they're just mud slinging because i don't care for that and uh i want to watch what i say online here because i've remained enigmatic everybody online is like oh i wonder what ryan believes you'll never know or maybe you will who knows right but uh either way i gotta be hate the unlucky legume ten dollars can we get some superjats going to support modern day debate seeing as they went to the trouble of setting this up and missed out on a night of live streaming well thank you unlikely legume we're doing all right over here at modern day debate uh you know we got lots of debates coming up and we are going to organize a debate on a positive atheist claim i know leo philius wanted to do that with nadir and them so we are going to look into getting that set up again the case for positive atheism but just stay tuned for that i'm also looking at getting an astrology debate set up so uh yeah keep your eyes peeled for that because that's going to be a first time on modern day debate charles lainer for a dollar ninety nine james still the goat well i actually uh i agree of course because uh he's he's kind of my boss in a certain sense i mean we work together kind of in a partnership but i mean i i'm going to check with him before i do anything so these are all for modern day debate apparently all off the bat uh melovaya at work can't watch you i love you erin well thank you that's a nice positive membership chat melovaya actually had a problem with me saying kick it over and messaged me on discord so i've i've tried to mitigate it a little bit but after he messaged me to say stop saying kick it over all the time i was kicking it over the entire debate because i'm a rock star and i gotta be rebel oflamio for six six six the number of the beast six six six from oflamio steward here is my solution to relativism if you give me an f i will give you a nuggie professor incentive persist in relativism steward yeah i don't what i i'll read it again exactly as it's written out but oflamio maybe you want to clarify stewart here is my solution to relativism if you give me an f i think like on a quiz i will give you a nuggie professor so like i will physically abuse you professor uh if you give me an f incentives persist in relativism stewart oh sure absolutely but it's still ultimately yeah okay ryan was i get further you went like this i didn't know whether to stop or not no no you're good if you want to respond to that that's all there is to it yeah exactly i i don't disagree with that statement there's still gonna be objective standards out there though we know it's not all relative we know ultimately it's wrong really wrong to kick a puppy especially one of those beautiful ones that uh aron has back there very pretty pops he's got a lot of nice snakes too and my daughter is obsessed with snakes so all the time she's coming to me asking if she can buy one get a boa i i'm gonna have to look into that for sure because uh you know it's a long time coming uh oflamio for three dollars and 33 cents uh you know the devil's younger brother there half of the 666 how do we know yaway won't eat us to stewart what won't eat us how do we know yaway won't eat us to stewart i think they're talking about your religion confused with cthulhu i think they might be talking about like a yeah like the dog eat dog kind of thing of survival the fittest baby i don't know if that got brought up or i'm not sure oflamio you're you're giving us some curveballs buddy tonight you know you're usually a little bit more consistent uh do you have anything to say on that stewart or just yeah yeah i again i it's the whole idea of i mean why not treat our fellow man as just an annoying punkish little ape running around if it's simply evolution and there is no god and christianity didn't exist i just i don't know why we wouldn't do that it you know we were raised red and tooth and claw it's an ape you know we came up we came from apes why not just love one another all yeah so if we're a social animal uh because we are apes uh and therefore we're just we're entirely reliant on a social structure in lieu of there being a god because there is no god so the one thing that we have to rely on is somebody who stands by their word and who shows empathy and for his family friends and fellows and shut up stop it i'm on camera that's not for you stewart i swear right our ends a little more polite than that generally iron mind your manners my god no you're all good so being as we are apes uh and and we're all equal here we're all part of nature not apart from it uh and then there is no there is no outside force to come save us from ourselves we are our only hope we have to help each other this is one of the reasons this is how morality evolved there was a there was a time in our in our evolution where we didn't have big brains yet and we didn't have quite the the muscular strength that chimpanzees and gorillas had but what we did have was a stronger sense of empathy than they have now we're in some terrible predator attacks the weakest or slowest of us and suddenly they realized that they have to face all of us that we're not running away to leave the slow in the week behind we're all turning and facing that enemy all of us at once and every big cat realized hey i can't kill all fucking 40 of them so i have to back the fuck off that's what made a suspect a great species that's what enabled our intelligence to grow that's how we became moral and that is exactly where it stops empathy we don't get love and if we just go with the empathy how do you not get love from empathy i don't i don't so how do you make these assumptions for example oj simpson's lawyer talked about how look in the shame and honor cultures or if you look from evolution and then you all of a sudden turn towards christianity then you're going to see a type of self-sacrificing love that has never been part of any other culture so you have that this been part of every culture if you're simply going to go from the empathetic side of things yes there's empathy so it's been part of every culture but ultimately ultimately you have to land with empathy it's an atheist overreach i'm going to love somebody across the grove and i'm going to fight for human rights no matter what the consciousness rationale no matter what suffering level no only christianity spread the image of god except except that you just you just contradicted yourself you're describing the atheist or one suddenly described it in suddenly claim that it was the christian position this is my question i get to end here so so for me it's the selfish nave that unfortunately would break down aran's pretty little picture right there where yes we do want to fight the lion or we do want to team up and work together but ultimately if i'm a free rider and it's not going to really hurt the team why can't it just be a free rider as opposed to what you're talking about is the aberration that that can't be relied upon that doesn't have the empathy that that doesn't back their word and so through a matter of population mechanics those people tend to be removed from the gene pool either being by being ostracized imprisoned or killed so one way or the other they're out no i i can be very good at stealing with my hedge fund for example i can cheat the rs very easily and that has nothing to do with what i just said along with that though from your perspective i said from a matter of population mechanics such people as you're describing tend to be identified and and ostracized okay but not really not my neck of the woods maybe yours maybe in texas but i live in fairfield county connecticut and those who get away with all kinds of things whether it's cheating on your wife or cheating on your taxes they're not really ostracized i'm going to be real if anything they're they're right they're republicans well no connecticut's fairly blue now i wait i wish it was in texas they're all republicans the people that you're describing right now no no texas is getting more and more blue and austin is except the people that you're describing right now are republicans oh i'm talking about the center of hypocrisy definitely hit definitely gop and to end since this was my question to end this connects to aren't pushing me on christian values and another one that was unique was forgiveness to christianity as you don't have as our nation has become a little more secularized fortunately atheism will decrease in the years to come according to pure research and it will fortunately not because it's growing by attenuation not birth rates less are and increases and he's already doing a great job because they don't they habitually never count for attenuation that's how atheism grows atheism doesn't grow by birth rates it grows by attenuation yeah and they're not you guys aren't gonna have any more babies that's the problem but we don't grow by birth rates so it doesn't matter how fast christianity grows or islam grows by birth rates because once those went when islam moves into europe for example then their problem is attenuation so that a significant percentage of their adults aren't muslim anymore and the same things going on with christianity where they lose a huge amount they lose at minimum of 20 percent minimum when you say attenuation break that down this is when people no longer believe yeah daniel denett and his wife started the clergy project and they they realize that if they're getting a lot of preachers who contact them because they no longer buy the bullshit that they've been selling for so many decades but here they are stuck in this job how do you move from what what career would you move to from preacher used car salesman what else can you do so they reach out to this network the clergy project network and what the and one of the statistics that they're noticing is that people when they realize they no longer believe in christianity they come out being more liberal they're more tolerant they're more curious they want to go back to college they want to learn the things that they never learned before they end up being just on the whole better people well that'll be our next debate wait ryan ryan forgiveness forgiveness it came from the cross of christ and as secularization grows a little bit not atheism secularization now you see forgiveness start to break down especially in political circles and especially in the echo chambers and as objective morality breaks down now we're all shouting over each other christians were supposed to be the preachy ones but now all of a sudden everybody is preachy but christians and so for a forgiving god is what we all desire and that has a lot to do except that we don't all desire that well if you're if you want to love and actually grow the population if you want to love and grow and not believe in impossible nonsense for no good reason then you don't want to you don't want to go why do atheists always say i'm just forgiving for my own sake and not for the sake of the other because we don't say that and that's not what i said it's because it's a christian value no it's not a christian value i remember the satanic temple that's that's actually in their seven tenets is forgiveness but forgiveness but we actually have a way of doing forgiveness where christianity doesn't christianity doesn't do forgiveness they put you in hell oh you didn't believe the stupid story without any evidence well i'm sorry it doesn't matter what your bullshit excuse is you're going to hell it doesn't matter how you thought that you know no no you're going to hell because we're judgmental and not righteous judge but in satanism we have a means of forgiveness the only the issue with forgiveness is that you have to understand that you've done something wrong there has to be some kind of admission that yeah i fucked up and i i need to make this right and upon making that statement now we can work with you on making it right that's what i really love that i like that there is a means of forgiveness because there's not many organizations that offer that you like that story all right he likes it in christianity next question i like that excuse me what you said you like that part about christianity forgiveness are you lying about me again next christianity always about lying shit next question what seriously why is everything you believe a lie and everything you say in defense of those lies always a lie that's the problem i have with christian no was it my it may have been my hearing i honestly thought you said that no i didn't say i said i was satanist that's what i liked about satanism was that there's a there's a there's a a means of forgiveness where christianity doesn't have that all right christians don't forgive and the doctrine is not because you have hell which means that there's no rehabilitation you're simply judged not even on whether you're moral or immoral but whether or what you believed believed that's what you're being judged for three case that immoral is that three case studies i want you to look up just in the last couple years bofam gene and the shooting of the racist white cop and forgive does that have any fuck all to do with christian theology and whether god judges you or whether you believe they are based off of christian doesn't change the fact that your theology says that your god judges you entirely over whether or what you believe all right let's let stewart wrap this one up there and then we'll move on i don't think he can these huge snooze stories that captivated the entire nation which have nothing to do with your theology the aumish trip no no no i'm gonna get there all based off of christian correct theology not this hell and fire you can't say those two contradictory things in the same sentence just expect to get away with it awesome gene say that christian theology is correct and just have me accept that because it's not there's no such thing as a christ as a correct theology but if there was it wouldn't be christian well i mean you guys you guys dig your own your own grave here i mean we'll go as late as you guys want to go i'm having a ball i'm trying to respect you guys this time because you know you might have certain constraints but uh i'm fine for you guys to riff as long as you want to riff honestly oh i don't want to spend here all night i've been working on another script all day i was gonna say that's why i say if you guys want to keep going on this one uh this one question mostly unconscious no i'm having a good time fuck you i really shouldn't look at your chat there's some idiots in there what are you drinking don't we don't get curious arne what are you drinking a local brew who tam tam tress you know i i i'd said there aren't a bb oh 12 percent i was gonna say i i've got like a four percent because i'm behaving myself but it's actually on brand it's called the none on the run yeah now what i started this evening with was i killed this bottle but how i watched you do that yeah that was me very good stuff by the way oh man that was that was that was rough opening up that let's move on to the next super chat sorry steward did you have some commentary what are you what are you up to over there i just said i had cut water for the first time a couple days ago does that mean you peed yourself i don't get it that tends to happen after i drink a little bit yes yes okay it's going to happen eventually if we keep drinking beer the way we were uh oh i should say big thing flying away in says for ten dollars steward i'm paying ten dollars for you to stop using the we worship everything argument this is where it gets a little spicy he says that argument is trash money isn't an extraordinary claim exists your god doesn't quit false equivocating yeah and if there's one i could plead for i get i get really really really tired of the thing about well you're an atheist you think everything came from nothing no fucking nobody believes that stop fucking saying that creationists believe everything came from nothing we don't that's another i'm actually gonna want to get your take on that but the worship one no don't take it from me there little angry elf take it from a very strong creative angry elf whoever that kid was he sounded like a little he sounded angry big saying flying wane you're getting called a little elf i think just take it take it from the atheist i was quoting who many would have said would have been the top top fiction writer in our generation who unfortunately hung himself i promise not because of his atheism i promise it was not because of the bleakness of his worldview and nothing to do with that it had to do because our worldview is not bleak it was more so a matter of him saying if you really focus on what you unconsciously believe and you really like i see this all the time and i gave an example of the girl who's in the psych unit because she really started feeling like i'm worshiping my art and she didn't make it into the school she wanted to make it in and so she went crazy and this happens all the time around me maybe not all the time around you but even if it's not to that extreme i think we can all all honestly say and i know worship the word worship is triggering for atheists so i won't because we don't worship and we don't like being lied about whatever you ultimately find worthy or the most important in your life can we say that but if i find something important that doesn't mean i worship it sure that now that's that's what i'm saying okay it's the most important thing so whatever you find most important you can get in trouble his point is as opposed to if it's located something that's not fine it for example i know many people who have gotten mentally and emotionally and i mean physically even crushed by the death of loved ones well you gotta love your loved ones but if you don't have anything higher than your loved ones unfortunately life is going to get really hard and downright depressing and crushing if you have the death of a loved one occurred if they're kind of what you find most important in this life so that's the point he's making that's the point he's making this is one of the difficulties i have about speaking for anybody else because i understand that some people deal with depression and it's not something that i can even relate to for whatever reason i've just i've always had a very positive outlook like always i've enjoyed every minute of my life even at my work even at my lowest points i still managed to enjoy my life better than some people enjoy their better moments i don't know why that is but i'm glad that that is that way and where i see injustice in the world is is often on behalf on behalf of christians i see people who get away with terrible crimes and they just and they don't even know that they've done anything wrong they'll never even admit that they fucked up over you know fucked over other people and i find that disastrous when other people very often christians get completely screwed over and their karma is it's such that they had they end up with these horrible horrible existences that i couldn't even bear that i would not want to live through some of the things that i've seen other people live through and these are christians some of the most some of the most morose lives i've ever seen have been from diehard believers and i'm not saying that i'm not blaming the belief on that it should maybe the belief has something to do with it with their inability to take power over it i don't know but i i still feel empathy for these people for for being in such a miserable situation i never experienced that i've always had it good i think even when i was always poor and it's not like that but i mean i've just always enjoyed life and i and i and i i lament that there's a bunch of other people that i know of who have never been able to enjoy any moment the way that i enjoy most well that's that's great iron is a is a optimist and we're happy to hear that because you know there's a lot of people around here that yeah you know you're in the live chat if you just got something miserable to say well you just heard aron's outlook on life uh you know you're not going to bring him down with uh your your little petty comments in the live chat so keep them there's a lot of petty comments keep them on point people uh because we don't appreciate uh people that are just trolling in the live chat we want to keep uh we're trying to elevate the discussion over here at modern day debate and vet a bit more and do what we can so um you know behave in there because we don't want to put you on time out buy this poppy for 499 stewart if humans are prone to sin and lying is a sin why is it not likely that followers of jesus lied about his resurrection because of what we talked about in terms of were the eyewitnesses legitimate could we trust them were they early and if it was early testimony then it was unlikely that this even lie could get off the ground was it was there enemy attestations that's a big one as well there's enemy attestation to it that this really did happen we got to make up some type of rumor then even if they are prone to lie you have extraneous things going on that still shows that the resurrection occurred so yes didn't occur correction anybody didn't occur yeah it's a frustrating thing i see all these comments of the chat and and then from also stewart where they just say these things like they're true but they're that are not defensively true well it's whoever says it most confidently between you and me is going to win the debate well it doesn't matter what their confidence is because i've seen liars that are extremely astute of being confident so confidence means nothing or you just it's just whether you can show that it's true but it's your word versus my word so often here it sounds like okay but but i can show i just make a point and you come down you bring the javel with this authoritative statement saying it's just not true i can't help that i'm right i'm sorry and it's confident but i could say that about anything yeah you could you could lie about anything with equal confidence on is whether we can show that it is true i brought up a bunch of things that you did not even begin to address you you you took on the position that most believers do where you defend the belief in the belief without necessarily defending the truth i would have i apologize i would have loved to have addressed those five things that you brought or ten things you brought up we we couldn't get past each other in terms of the uh the back and forth interruption but honestly that's why i ended up actually giving you a big compliment saying that your points were the best ones in terms of the most exciting for me to talk about that i've ever received and don't worry i'll save them my word document we'll get to them at some point in the future oh yeah i'm sure this isn't the last time we've seen uh stewart and r and raw on modern day debate because we always have a ton of fun when you guys are on and this is my first time hosting you guys and i'm having i i'm trying not to use colorful language i'm having a crud ton of fun with you fellas so uh let's continue on with the super chats pointless poppy 499 stewart why did no one keep track of the names of the 500 people jesus supposedly oh i lost it there did you just say supposedly supposed to get out of it doesn't say just calm down why did no one keep track of the names of the 500 people jesus supposedly appeared to that can haunt me it was the word was supposedly was not in there no i so so the 500 that is an interesting one but just because there are some out of all the others that were mentioned who aren't named specifically doesn't make that a horrendous deal i mean when paul talks about some of them have fallen asleep many scholars would say that gives people an understanding that they would have known who to have gone to and they wouldn't be going to those who had fallen asleep because that means that they were dead so there would have been knowledge in the community just like you know when you get footnotes like simon of sireen or malchus for example or in luke 24 rodo ms and one's name and the other's not named yes it can be frustrating because there's so many footnotes throughout the gospels showing again to their credibility but with the 500 there's not a clear simon of sireen for example and yet you do have some have fallen asleep some have not so there would most likely have been some type of consensus understanding of who had not fallen asleep and who they really were all right well that goes back to what i was saying before about it would jesus says that you won't taste of death and that you'll still be alive and in the original version that there's not a soul that comes out of you it's that your physical body will rise again and so that's that's why they say you know that that that these several undead saints walking around doing the thriller in downtown judia that's that's the kind of resurrection that they were talking about actually you know what what jesus was pretending to do with people you'll bring them back to life so they get up and walk around again but the jews had no understanding of the type of resurrection that actually occurred they never because they believed in sheol they never would have accepted that right because they believed in sheol so they would have accepted what what jesus was talking about where you get up and walk around again not the the whole new idea about you that you have this invisible soul inside you that then floats up into heaven that was a different idea that's where the the christians took this a lot of the christianity of course was based on judaism and judaism was based largely on zoroastrianism but this one aspect the christians got reached back past judaism to take this other aspect from zoroastrianism that the jews didn't adopt and that was the notion of this posthumous judgment where in the the avestas i think it's the zen divesta or the hadnak nast where it says that the righteous man upon his death will rise to the kingdom of justice and truth under the wise lord ahura mazda but the wicked man upon his death will descend into the kingdom of the lie ruled by araman the opposer which is the the opposer meaning the enemy also pronounced hashatan which was the satan all right let's close that one out uh thoughts on that steward to close this out 10 seconds about no yeah i just think it's another piece of evidence for the resurrection of christ that the resurrection itself would have been totally rejected by anybody and nobody would have thought up of it that would have been the last type of hoax that somebody would have thought up of and that it occurred so many many scholars that's exactly what the jews would have expected no that's what modern modern jews and christians wouldn't have thought that because they have a different interpretation that involves a soul the sadducees would never have expected it that's exactly what they would have expected because they were they thought it would have been in general at the end of time and the christ no no that's because jewish script because jesus failed to meet any of the criteria that the jews predicted for their messiah so that they were expecting a world leader that was going to you know that that was never going to die and that was going to you know raise israel to that this world power and everything all these things that never happened so jesus failed all the he actually met one the only criteria that he met for for being the jewish messiah was that he was jewish yeah so bar coca and about there were about 20 failed messiah movements none of them would have had anything to do with a single messiah having died and there was bloody death imagined one across and having risen from the dead all right well let's move on to our next super chat everybody uh it seems we've got our ideas out on that one thanks for your super chat there for this poppy for stewart uh el orant 499 i am a muslim from transsoxy transoxana is so trans sox ania i've never heard of muslim from transsexual transylvania from transsexual you know uh the live chat might not believe this but i i have a full frankenferter outfit um for the people who know what that is yeah i played frankenferter for a while oh well isn't that glorious how do i anyways say them to all question for atheists where do you get your ethics from is it coming from empirical evidence our ethics as i explained earlier came from our evolution as a social species so we depend upon society to survive because no man is an island if you're familiar with that term society as an abstract concept in turn depends on us to cohabitate productively now those who cannot those who will will only meet their own selfish ends so those who have no compassion for other people tend as i explained before tend to be eliminated from society so that we as a course of population mechanics over many generations we identify the people who stand by their word who are reliable and who do for the community and those are the ones that are rewarded with the most wives and children whereas the people who only serve their own selfish needs at least in stone age cultures will eventually be eliminated from society at some point of course you get into super technological things and then we we seem to have a turnaround where for whatever reason here recently if you're all about yourself completely narcissistic only brag about yourself don't give a fuck about anybody else piss on everybody else well then everybody else will worship you but that i hope has only been something that's been going on in the last say decade or so already like why is that really bad why is what really bad the narcissism why is narcissism why is only caring about yourself selfishly to the to the disdain of everyone else to the detriment of society as a whole why is that bad yeah does that not answer the question already no i just again if you can get away with it it doesn't really harm society but it does for the reasons i just explained but yeah but does it harm the society that much yeah it hard it's harm society that much yes you are you are taking advantage of every you are impoverishing everyone to enrich yourself this is harming society exactly that much me cheating on exam is that really harming society when you take a single example by itself then we're not talking about population mechanics over many generations are we we're looking at a big picture here oh so the problem i have with one of the many problems i have with arguing with creationists they were christians is that they always want to bring up this one isolated example and say what's the harm in a little white lie they're always looking for they're always looking for the permission for the one evil stupid antisocial thing what's so wrong about this one thing that i do that's bad well because when you count it up over time these become worse but they don't think like that well that's like when an atheist tries to interpret a bible verse one at a time correctly inevitably all right well let's move on from there and uh all around uh all around is actually uh he's got another super chat we'll get over to it because uh i think he's just a little brought down because when we when you know he thought we will the candy man that's right all right before we get a super a super strike on the channel here uh we'll get over to your other question there a la ronde uh but i'm glad that it spurred uh spurred all our frankenfurter so what to get said uh usual on the channel asks aron is there an objective moral standard if yes if yes all right intend required to establish that order if no how can you invoke moral high ground over god so he's saying that if you have if you've answered yes isn't and i did earlier in the show yeah so isn't intent required to establish that order i think is the crux i said in order to determine whether something is moral or immoral you have to have criteria right we all we have to have a universal agreement on what the criteria are and i think we have that where everybody understands that if i were just walk to walk down to the bus stop and kick somebody in the shins for no damn reason that's going to be immoral i don't have a need to cause somebody else harm or suffering right i'm just just visiting pain upon somebody else that's objectively understood to be immoral everybody gets that nobody's ambiguous about that so i think we have an objective moral standard on on on what how do whether we're whether we're causing unnecessary harm or suffering or whether we're uh you know prolonging happiness well-being or health wait but these are moral or immoral and they're objective everybody gets it and the the argument that i hear all the time is well what what about some whole society that's been taken over by evil people who then use political propaganda to their ends to try to justify their evil well if they didn't know that it was objectively evil then they wouldn't be coming up with the propaganda bullshit lies to try to cover it up or to make excuses for it so that's how we know that even they know that it's objectively evil what they're doing thoughts over there stewart nope i like it okay all right uh does that mean we're in agreement is that is that another hazzah kind of moment yeah i at some point i want to i want to share another another area of agreement i have with aran this agreement is so in the greek jesus does talk about those who are touched by the moon so it's not him exercising demons at all times he did understand he was ahead of his time understanding what mental health was but typically it was exercising demons so you take that he did have a nuanced understanding the book of proverbs has a phenomenally understood mixed understanding that's nuanced that's why the bible is the best psychology book really ever written that's a that's a book i'm i'm writing right now don't say stupid shit while you're trying to oh here's where i'm well here's what you're gonna like here's what you're gonna like i agree with aran on his characterization or a truth it's truth on what he says about a lot of religious people religious christians q will who get half baked christianity kind of more the fundamentalist types some of the snake handlers and so here's where it gets person you say about snake handlers what's that what are you saying about snake handlers and don't you do it for your points where where are the snakes aran like i was hoping to see one they're behind me they're all over i've got like 53 of them back there i was hoping to see one wrapped around your uh your your your frame yeah i was gonna grab my retic but he's he's in a bit of a mood it's it's a it's a little inspiration for your genesis 315 uh paper two yeah true so anyway what i was gonna say where i agree with aran is i have a lot of holy discontent towards a lot of those religious types who totally misinterpret scripture who make the body whether they elevate the body too much or say the body is nothing it's just still all about the soul i'll give one example my grandpa was very high up in the seventh day adventist church and he got depression and even had a little probably it was paranoia but maybe even a little psychosis at one point where he saw kind of men in suits coming after him on the property and he was really really like internationally high up on on the seventh day adventist podium podium and so a lot of people came to him was like whoa you're way too spiritual you're way too spiritual to take any medication or get therapy you know you're our you're our man not not god but you're our man and so he didn't for the longest time and he almost committed suicide finally he got on medication and boom everything was fine great went back to his work so there are a lot of those religious types out there and i think a lot of it has to do with their own ego religiosity type as well as misinterpretation of scripture and so i have as much anger when i deal with those kinds of people who takes a lot to hold back i tell you that much more so than probably any other group of people so my testimony well let's try to carry on there because we do have quite a few more super chats coming in and i had a figuring that this was going to go a little over time so i am i am apologetic to any of our speakers but like i said earlier you know it's up to you guys if you want a riff and kind of dig into each other's beliefs uh you know i'm all for it but you guys uh if you want to cap it where you want oh there arman is grabbing i think something exciting potentially oh i see a little pretty something oh there's a little rattler on the back there no i wouldn't imagine this is a doomer rolls boa ooh very this would be a very good choice for your kids they're slow moving they're beautiful they get to be five or six feet long sometimes up to eight but they're manageable and i like to refer to these see these uh masks along the side these little tiki masks they're beautiful i refer to these as the souls of the damned oh very are you in a dnd at all there are i'm a big dnd well of course okay well that's great all right i just had what kind of what kind of snake do you think was in the garden there wasn't one in the garden oh oh jeez i don't i don't mean to offend but let's just say if there was what would you think what kind would it be well it's a nonsense question let's move on fellas i i don't think we'll come into uh into a moment of agreement here but that that is a beautiful snake you have there are i didn't think i would say that live i would recommend this one pattern right there i didn't think i'd be complimenting you on your beautiful snake there are in on a live stream but that's what i'm doing here and it's a beautiful snake you got there uh ultra for two dollars says to be honest are in raw i love you but you do look like a villain uh oh look at that smile he he he he's he's a charmer is what he is fellas everybody here is is a good fella i i i've been super enjoying uh your guy's energy tonight so this is a dirty rotten sinners too ryan at those hands of an angry god steven sell for 20 dollars trying to throw me off stewart and then arans woman that snake stewart saw for 20 dollars aran raw you should just ask for proof of any of the biblical claims you and i both know it doesn't exist don't both know it doesn't exist and for claiming modern standards should not apply to the bible then the bible is no longer applicable i think steven you spent 20 dollars and it sounds like he agrees with you you should just ask for proof of any of the bible claims somebody in your chat made mentioned something about hogwarts i have to tell you that when i was 12 i remember wondering what kind of an old man will i be and i looked at the the old skinny little guy bald guy with a with a cane i'm like is that the kind of old man i'm gonna be then i see this jolly fat santa claus looking guy is that the kind of old man i'm gonna be and then i saw gandalf oh yes you shall pass yeah aran raw you pass that's fine you know what you you you can be you can be a gandalf on the stream that's great honestly that's that's a great reference for inspiration because i i love those movies and uh yeah a quick shout out to my buddy josh we were actually watching those movies just before he moved out and the amount of quotes that were flying out of me after i watched that on this live stream i think was driving everybody nuts you know i do not remember this place or i have no memory of this place all right so her bands 499 uh hey ryan james could we have a trinitarian slash non-trinitarian kirsten debate in the future well uh as you all look at the snake there on screen i'll answer that question you know we do sometimes temp the waters of having debates between two people of the same belief system but generally what we want to do is have people that are more opposing in their views so that you guys actually get into more of a nuanced discussion about the differences between these guys and their world views on the way that they you know assess information so it is something that we do talk about but you know i even when i was vetting earlier for you know some speakers on astrology you know i was talking to them and i was saying you know i they said that you know those there's other classifications of astrology i might not represent everybody and it's kind of like that's fine because the main point is that we're having that discussion you know what i mean so it just just the same here you know we want to make sure that we're keeping it open and honest and true let's carry on el orant 499 aron dude you are a good person disregard haters howland paradise is revealed as classic conditioning for motivational purposes god can forgive well that i wish i could say that i heard that whole question something about god can forgive no he can't because he doesn't exist you kind of have to exist in order to do stuff um what what was the rest of it i don't know i didn't hear it yeah um i think that was he said howland paradise are revealed as classical conditioning for motivational purposes okay all right i didn't largely lifted from don't taste inferno yeah all around i'm sorry that there's not a lot of like question there as far as like i mean maybe steward has some thoughts there you're making a little bit of a a brow what's going on buddy oh no i think i have a tick on the back of my head i was a little concerned well that's a little bit different a tick on the back of your head that's a bit concerning so yeah that's a different yeah so we're big capital of the world here in fairfield county we actually have a town next to us called line that's not good that's not good my friend i have a friend who moved here who's making a lot of money with that there's a new machine out there to treat Lyme's disease oh man it's like living next to garner herpes syphilade city yeah it's bad all right so uh that that's that's all of them all one garner gonorrhea herpes syphilade yeah anyways i garner herpes syphilade yeah yeah yeah that's what happens if you get bit by a squirrel uh no it's a joke uh el oron can i remember this girl i dated in high school don aria oh no okay let's carry on everybody don aria oh my god well hopefully she didn't make your uh your your down your downstairs too excited because uh anyways it could have been a mistake el oron 499 carl marx said religion is opium of masses but these days opium became religion of masses muslims are not becoming christian steward are you smoking now i don't know what kind of question that is steward are you smoking i that's kind of rude i mean who who smokes especially there actually are some some some muslims becoming christian but also it's the other way around and i think actually it's worse for christians becoming muslim because i think the reason why that is is because islam has less baggage than christianity does oh the the fastest growing church last year was in iran and it was women because they were tired of all the sexism i couldn't believe when i heard that it's like how how is the fastest you know how i feel with so am i smoking something um i haven't smoked anything for a while i was just on yourself steward funny though it is coming up because because i was just on a uh a podcast um i was just on a podcast where that was the number one question or is it wrong to smoke weed as a christian and we came to the inclusion you know a few puffs is not as bad as three glasses of wine so it's not a sin if it's it's a certain amount of thc in your bloodstream but i have not been smoking as of late though i am lucid for the most part thank you to the holy spirit and for me this by the way for me for me it's gonna be a a matter of if they're referencing the dmt studies that was actually a it's a matter it's a matter of i'll send the studies but the studies were impressive they were also on joe they were shown on joe rogan and a few eyewitnesses on uh who talked about it on on joe rogan as well so why would you say they were impressive and then say they were shown on joe rogan you're trying to discredit your own argument you gotta get my boy joe you're too conservative he's an eight well he's kind of an atheist he believes jesus was a mushroom and that moses was tripping on you not and coming from the bush not compare me or associate me with joe rogan all right well let's move through the q and a there fellas because you know we we're only on almost we're about a quarter through the way here and uh you know i don't mind you guys expounding as much as you want to but uh you know i don't want you guys to be like oh crud it's you know three hours i gotta go now right and we haven't gotten through so like i said um let's try to move through um and you guys kind of dictate on your own where you want to draw your lines uh but uh i'll try to push it which it gets it 499 aron how do you account for the 25 000 accounts of our out-of-body near-death experiences many of which have been empirically validated okay how do i account for 50 years worth of research we're in there are very very few accounts that are that don't have clear explanations and and and where we have to compare christians having like common christian experience and then atheists long-term atheists at least having you're expected no experience at all and then most importantly when hindus have near-death experience and then they get to meet their gods and then they come back with proof of reincarnation which is effectively proof that christianity is not true so wits it gets it and i don't think you do how do you respond to hindus having this different experience that disproves christianity from near-death experiences i think so i think it'd be a broader if it's a broader question to gods so whether that's hindus gods or the you know monotheistic religions well that hindus consider themselves a monotheistic religion i know they got a butload of gods but i mean look at lord christian for example he says he's the source of all the demigods and the creator of the multiverse which is a pretty hellish statement to have made 400 years before the bible yeah no that that is that i don't know how that discredits the bible but i would say because there's many pagan myths that that sound very similar but there's no historical accountability to it multiverse i think i think the piece there is there's 400 million accounts of the miraculous just in asia and across i think the studies in europe alone you know there's so many people if you if you listen to aran there's so many people who need to be dissuaged of this type of golden age bronze aged mentality or these experiences that people are stuck in whether it's because of things like drugs or not but i find it interesting 400 million from miraculous i think it's 40 million now for near-death and then 500 peer reviewed articles out of duke on the near-death experiences so i don't know whether they're all they're definitely not all true but i think they're to be accounted for there in terms of what exactly is going on just like with the disciples and the resurrection was some can we have any that are true can we tell us there there secular scholars agree that the disciples had some type of experience with christ we just don't know what it was i would even i would agree that that they have they met some faith healer cult leader the self-professed exorcist and performing the exact same shtick that name hair color same same tippa bobby tilton and uh kenneth and gloria copeland and and all of those benny hyen all those kind of people he's just the first century version of that and if people are this credulous now in the age of enlightenment can you imagine how gullible they were in the first century or how gullible they're going to be in 100 years from now it is a sad thing that we seem to be going backwards and i'm still debating people like yourself well let's try to move on from there everybody and unless you had anything to say there as steward uh elebron has a 499 a question aron muslim declaration of faith starts with there is no god and continues why do you think that is there is no god but a law and then i have a t-shirt to this effect that says there is no god but a law just kidding there is no god all right well let's move on from there all around again says and you can buy that t-shirt on evolve fish dot com awesome yeah and at the end of our closing statements will definitely give you guys a chance to uh tell us where we can find you with the links that we're going to have pinned in our descriptions all around for 499 again this is for you aran i think you can hear me yeah he's there aran a muslim here john lock saved western civilization from eugenics he was a follower of jesus he based his ethics on abrahamic tradition well then he then he was his own enemy because where was eugenics coming from at that time i don't know where was it coming from it was disproportionate breeding that was established by the church the church was the one that was practicing eugenics all right i i i might have some insight here people but i did want to just kind of pry there as a an innocent in a lock with her so marty come as yellow for five dollars steward why are you so anti lgbtq isn't that the opposite of being compassionate when did i say that i never said that i i think that christianity paved the way for movements like lgbtq to have the level of freedom that they have or or go to the me too movement for example you know oh yes christianity with their action the roman empire yeah with it with their uh support of leviticus yeah with their with their support of leviticus 18 with christ with jesus never saying ever once hey you remember what it says in leviticus 18 ignore that no jesus never did that jesus always only ever extolled the lack of virtue that we find in the hebrew bible isn't that sad all right so at second state university i found somebody who hates jesus more than r and does i don't hate jesus i hate injustice we were there and injustice includes lies and jesus is a lie i i i found somebody when i was there it was a boy transitioning to be a girl and she kept running in front of great dialogue we had big days out there with like 400 students out there at a time tsc was going on fire and uh she kept interrupting the debates yelling go to our website ipistonjesus.com and sure enough big website i don't know how many fans selling merchandise i mean i i just you can't make this stuff up yeah i gotta i gotta comment somebody mentioned in the comments about what i just said about how how gullible people were 2 000 years ago and the commenter said that we're actually worse now and i kind of agree because i read uh vincent buckeliosi's helter skelter he was the prosecuting attorney of the manson family i have actually physically met the manson family three times as a child because we lived in los angeles and i i read the book uh in urnist and i i kind of get it the people that were hanging out with manson that thought that he could actually make their bus fly that he was able to convince them of these these miraculous things that he could do in the age of enlightenment in the 1960s all you need is a little bit of lsd and you could believe anything i'm i was surprised vincent buckeliosi complained that it was difficult to find anybody to would testify against manson because they all believed that he could read their minds and that he could do all of these miraculous things and so it would it would disqualify their credibility as witnesses which is interesting because shit that that you have to say now in order to get elected to public office would have in the 60s gotten you disqualified as a witness in a murder trial but it it does speak to how we can believe ridiculous shit in the 21st century that and just laugh at the fact that they would have believed it in the first oh the amount of conspiracy theories there hasn't been any more ever in our history than there is today agreed so i will just carry we'll just close it off there fellas um so uh steward you know you referred to uh you know somebody you knew who's transitioning as a she so i think that answer is the question uh that you're not anti lgbtq if that's what i got out of that or no i i've had friends in my wedding in my wedding party who are gay who are some of my closest friends and you know i was asked okay i'm gonna go ahead and say this because it's 1030 and maybe some people got off so i can i can get a little bit more edgy but i was asked by a uh a girl who was marrying a close friend and she said oh you can't love people steward who are lgbtq because you know your your bible is hateful and you hate them because they say they're bad people and go into hell and this that the other i i said that's ridiculous i i think that just because you perhaps don't think that somebody's lifestyle is the most flourishing for them just because you disagree with that or want to help them in that area in no way does that mean that you're less loving towards them just like if my child the one that is living in a lifestyle who i think is not most helpful for their flourishing doesn't mean i'm gonna love them less i'm gonna probably love them more than the child who i think is living this lifestyle that perhaps is helping them really flourish so i know to many people that sounds exclusive and what the bible teaches but in no way does that i mean if anything it increases it should increase love for the christian and not a type of patronizing kind of love i mean like legitimate genuine love so so she understood that she she she's a really sharp woman and she got it so well hopefully that clears that up for you there marty uh you know i think steward's a good guy arin's a great guy you know we're maybe i'm a good guy too i mean you know nothing about me that's careful now right uh no be careful because nobody in your chat thinks anything nice well yeah that's that's all right for them your chat is reddit my chat is reddit well you guys calm down over there and you behave yourselves because i am a nice guy steward's a nice guy arin's a nice guy and uh we don't really care for uh people that are just trolling or being general a-holes uh so let's continue on uh question oh so yeah uh exit dissolve two dollars steward how many eyewitnesses accounts of the jesus raised oh sorry how many eyewitnesses accounts of raised jesus in new testament of raised jesus nine all right i think that is the uh the answer there for the new testament so uh let's carry on and uh i think if i had a question for sure i know i know that he won't answer it because he can't he can't answer it even if he knew the answer he couldn't answer it but i want to know why he believes this and it would take an awful lot of self reflection for him to come up with that and i don't think he's capable of that right now not an insult i i sincerely don't think that you would be able to evaluate everything that i'm thinking about right now to come up with why you believe what you believe because i tried i just couldn't i had to walk away from all that shit well maybe that's something we could even debate about down the road but uh you know a story if you have any thoughts on that you know and you know in the next 10 seconds and we'll move on when you're two when you guys when your audio goes on just isn't speaking over me every time because because i feel like i'm uh bottom of the totem pole here i yeah unfortunately i think because we have mics and preamps and you know i've got all these guitars and rock gear and all that stuff you know i can really drive my voice if i want to so i won't do that well i so i would no i i think it's a very good question for me there's no proof there's no proof if i came to this with proof it would be a different question for me i do i would lean on pascal a little bit as my own response i know i know you don't like that because i'm bringing something i don't like it it's just it's stupid well here's pascal i'm not saying pascal's wager like his wager is dumb and it's kind of i think it's a fear base too i like what he said and i can't remember the piss say that he said it in but you know when he talks about the attractiveness of the gospel and there's no way you would ever even consider trusting in god very believing in him if the gospel is not attractive to you first and so i think for me it's a matter of i i think there's just enough evidence to lead then to my experience and my belief and all the benefits that come from belief like there's endless amounts of like my thesis was on positive psychology and the belief in god endless amounts like atheism i like endless as in zero what not like like as in as a non-starter as in like there's no benefit to to pretending things that are obviously not true no no there no there's benefits that's not what i said there's benefits to pretending things that are not true sure i wouldn't do that i i think i think the placebo effect absolutely has a a serious effect on say for example you know medical drugs but i gotta say in all my arguments i've been doing this for like 25 years and it's funny to me how every discussion with a creationist always or with a christian always always brings up one that the the near-death experience is as if that means anything and then justification for the placebo effect no no i so i did neither of those you you just did the placebo and i well then i communicated poorly i gave you a couple ideas there once so for me it's more a matter of i don't have proof and yet i don't think your end has any level of proof either wait wait i i have to prove i don't believe you i don't think you're gonna say this is reality and that's it okay i don't but i but that's not my position that's you argued for materialism which again is both of us accepting that there's a material reality you assume that there's a magical reality which you cannot justify and i do not assume the thing that you cannot substantiate okay but what are you substantiating when it comes to material reality we both accept i don't make assumptions outside of that and nothing beyond like love meaning purpose love is not at beyond that love is chemical i'm just not part of that 30 seconds there fellas so well so more speaking personally i think there is enough evidence like i i almost ditched my faith when i was a sophomore in college like look i'm a pastor's kid the statistically 75 percent lose their faith so i'm one of the 25 percent okay so i don't know why but but you think love is outside of physical universe yes i think there's there's more to love than just chemicals there isn't than just the evolutionary you are assuming what is not evidenced no these things okay so you just said that love was outside of the physical universe there is no evidence of that you assumed that and said that that's what you believe but there's no evidence to imply that so you are stepping outside of the evidence to imagine something outside of this universe no no no okay let's start all over again and let's see how you wrap yourself up again all right well um if you guys want to delve down that path again that's fine it is just a little funny that uh james had messaged me and he was like hey try to you know make sure that you get these fellas out you know around two hours and try to respect their time but uh i messaged him back and i was like i worried them that if they kept riffing we were going to keep going and i just messaged him now and i was like we're a quarter of the super chats through and the they're still riffing uh so you know this is this is up to you fellas if you want to go down that path but we can keep going it's it's i i have other shit that i need to be doing right now but fine fuck it we'll just do this wait are you at 9 30 you yeah you're 9 30 aren't you i'm at 9 30 i've been working on another project for like five days a video that i thought was going to be recorded four days ago but it's taking me longer than i expected eat that i feel i feel yeah i was i i've been doing two days of jammin and we've been working on space trucking by d purple and i've just been screaming my head off so i'm surprised i even have a voice to even speak with uh are you doing ian gillian yeah yeah i am i'll tell you i won't do it right now because i i can't i can't get just the levels to make sure that's going to be cool uh but i will close it off with a cool song ele ront and uh he's coming in for 499 question aron is 2 plus 2 equals 4 falsifiable what do you think i don't do math i like to stay in my lane and i've talked to mathematicians who say that 2 plus 2 can equal 5 depending on certain values of 2 and i'm like the fuck are you even talking about i think that might be over most people's heads here i mean i was taught 2 plus 2 equals 2 and you know as as stewart mentioned earlier about drugs like you know if if your drug dealer was like 2 plus 2 equals 5 that's fine all right yeah and that's why i that's why i started to embrace the thing about when you say that you're gonna prove something you can't prove it mathematically this is why science doesn't prove anything mathematically the best that you can do is in a different context you can prove by an overwhelming preponderance of evidence beyond reasonable doubt that i can do and so when people tell me you know that evolution's not a thing i can absolutely prove by an overwhelming preponderance of evidence beyond reasonable doubt that evolution is real and a thing and that creationism is nothing but frauds falsehoods and fallacies with no truth to it period end of statement i can absolutely prove both of those things the sad thing is people want to make believe so badly they don't care they will tell me straight to my face they don't care what the truth is they're going to believe it anyway well this next question is coming in for stewart and so this is from Stephanie McGuire for five dollars stewart why does the Old Testament god that abores human sacrifice except his chosen people to accept human sacrifice as the ultimate atonement for sin yeah there were a lot of those different types of pagan cults there was molluck there was all different types where you know you had all these store-pain you know historical inventions but also the no historically accurate you have molluck and parents have to bring their babies and put on the molten hot lava hands when they would heat up the statue of molluck and then the parents we have to get taken out of the city as the screams of the babies were so intense so yes they would sacrifice for sins or just sacrifice in general to their gods but in no way does that disprove the christian god your your the people that you have in your chat are so very fortunate that they will never have an opportunity to face me in a situation where they will have to be accountable i i sometimes feel similarly you know i see some of the because they just say a whole bunch of shit that i could prove wrong in a moment and it's just there's too many of them to even list and i'm not going to name them because then they'll just all be spouting that shit but it looks like because i did this an hour or two ago it just looked like everybody hey let's say the stupidest thing we can in the chat well hopefully we have a few of our mods in the chat because i can't keep an eye on all of it and also if you have a few mods working in this chat then you have a fuckton of idiots boasting here jumping in my discord right now anyways no i yeah hopefully uh hopefully you guys are working a little bit in the super chats there and uh going through our live feed but once again keep it friendly everybody and uh once again it's no skin off our back so uh this is another one for stewart anybody that anybody that's in the chat that wants to say that you know because there are a lot of people i'm noticing this that that say that i can't prove evidence to shut up yes i absolutely can there's a trick to it though you have to be able to communicate in a socratic interaction now i can do it in as little as has a couple dozen mutual exchanges but when i have to correct the misinformation that you have and then establish the basics and i have to confirm that you understand the basics before we move on to the next level that means that when i ask you questions you have to answer them and my experience over the last 25 years that i've been doing this is that believers habitually refuse to answer direct questions because they want to believe more than to know the truth that's the problem so they won't answer at all i think it would be interesting to maybe even see that breakdown you know even just for even if we had a devil's advocate to see how that breakdown of that interaction happens but let's move on here whoa whoa whoa whoa technically arin is not allowed to do that whatsoever i like arin and i like listening to him so i allow him to do that no other atheist or anybody debating this this shows how much i like arin would i ever allow to do that i would push ryan right out of his seat until he actually stopped and said equal time here but i enjoy listening to arin so i let him get a you know i let him push and go and i like that he actually asked me questions here at the end i do appreciate that that it was that was personal but i can't get my points off about the resurrection or reliability of the gospels i'm going to interrupt i'm sorry about that no i don't mean to interrupt interrupting you right now i just meant like as a separate idea right that's the thing oh no no but we're not talking about the resurrection about we're talking about evolution we're talking about things that are real that's fantastic wait what so let's uh let's go back to the superjads uh this was for you steward so i mean we should really be asking you the question we just got into a different uh different direction there steward um yeah that was the one about atonement for sin steward i don't believe you are for real in your belief i don't know if i like that one so much can you prove you actually believe the bible and practice your religion oh is this a ad hominem if you will hear i think they're asking if you're a devil's advocate you know are you a legit steward i know i keep making it sound like i'm a i'm a proficient author and writer but i considered titling a book in the future one step away from atheism because i've had so many people say to me whoa you're like inches from atheism yeah my you had a couple i've i've even had a couple guys i've had a couple guys come on uh different podcasts and say yeah i am here to convert you to atheism so i guess there's a lot of people nobody nobody says that oh they said that they said nobody says i'm going to convert you to atheism yeah nobody knows what the fuck they're talking about so no i don't know how do you convert to non belief well you you know what they were saying converting out of mind into something else whatever it might be but they don't then when they wouldn't say convert to atheism that's stupid if somebody says that they're going to convert you to atheism then they don't even know their own argument well uh let's carry on from there i think steward's made his point aron has made his point so let's carry on fitur fetus for five dollars does aron believe that the beasts of daniel seven are to be taken literally daniel was largely dreams so i don't take any of that literally i mean most a whole lot of the bible was fucking beat i don't know whether it was just dreams or it was drug induced dreams or dreams inspired by stupidity i don't know but there's a whole lot of it that was just dreams and therefore it doesn't have any validity at all if i wrote down all the fucking dreams that i've had that i thought meant something to me and that i wrote them down in a book for other people to interpret as if it should have the same meaning for them they'd be awfully confusing but that's how the bible is written this is it was written by mystics it was written by people who thought that dreams were god's way of communicating with people which means that god is inept all right well for the sake of time everybody and uh you know to everybody hit the like button what are you doing we got still over a thousand people watching this and only 500 likes hit that like button if you enjoy what you're hearing here tonight i think we've got two very amicable speakers on our side here and uh good representative uh representative sides of uh our arguments i'll give you i'll give you a credit for that stewart i will because modern day debate has pitted me up against some real idiots i think i think you guys are both swell fellas uh a lot of fun uh i'm not going to talk about any of the uh of the other people i'm not going to name any names but this has been a great game yeah i i don't know what to say fellas uh we'll carry on and what i'm going to do is i'm going to set a one-minute timer and i'm going to try to keep the questions towards you know the people that they're asked to so good day to you sir for twenty dollars canadian whole canada thank you for your twenty dollars canadian two correct stewart jesus and mark 16 18 uh should i do my preacher voice i think i should let's just let's just pick up snakes a lot of questions showing up at the chat but i'm guessing they don't you don't read them unless they pay something there's a lot of questions but yeah we're going to read just a super chat because there's a ton of them still and uh i got a quote here from mark 16 18 and i'm ready to rip do we have how many of these do we have to ask how many of these questions we have to get to all kinds but uh you know we'll we'll tear through them like i said i'm going to set a one-minute timer let's go it's 1046 what time we go until i'm at 1146 so like yeah well where are you dare you i'm in novaskosha so like you know she's about to see that my my launch into this whole thing and uh you know kind of my kick in the butt was actually running into shannon q and polo gia uh and on there are you on this show on their anniversary and they paid for me and my wife's drinks uh you know it was very kind of them and i i super enjoyed sitting down and chatting with them i thought they were uh really cool for doing that i really i really enjoy uh paul and shannon q just fantastic really for a number of reasons so i just i just wanted to get that on you know i don't that i said that i guess no i like it yeah they kicked me in the butt they messaged jimmy and they you know they were like hey you know uh you know ryan's trying to get a hold of you and then that kind of got me kind of thinking well i i should see what happened with my email that i sent to james because he never responded to me and i checked my junk email and i was like he responded to me within a week of me sending him an email saying hey i think i want to help you out here um and it was in my junk email and i missed it completely so uh you know i would have been on here a lot sooner and figuring out uh how to actually be good at this a lot sooner had uh great about 10 minutes let's go let's rule uh good day to you sir i think you're running out of steward's patience sorry sir to correct steward all right sorry i it's all good they will pick up the snakes with the hands and then they will drink deadly poison it will not hurt them at all they will place the hands on sick people and they will get well that is my preacher voice so he is quoting from mark mark 1618 saying that they did uh in the new testament i think mark is from uh preach about uh being able to handle deadly snakes uh thoughts on that or want to carry on uh carry on mark 16 isn't maybe not even in the bible all right thank you fortitude balance of 499 euro if god really wrote the bible and it is his word why is there a big universe beyond our world if there was life on mars he should have said so yeah there's probably not there's probably no humans on mars next all righty our ins back they're getting out of their snake but uh yeah we're going to carry on with the super chats everybody and sorry uh if we're being super brief with your super chat but i think we've used the super chats to get into all kinds of nuance uh in these guys thoughts on the individual discussion so arnaz back so yeah you guys were calling for a venomous one so i was going to go grab a venomous one but she's running and hiding she toothless new all right well yeah from six fangs on either side so this one from a la ron again question to steward on which dmt trip did machine elves tell you that thousands of muslims are becoming christians uh a la ron i think that's kind of uh just uh not really worth answering but uh thanks for the 499 we want to carry on and respect these fellows time because we've gotten all kinds of ideas out tonight go back in the debate if you missed anything because uh i think we've really uh expelled uh what we think for tonight frank morning tree 199 aran thanks for fighting for a rational world well thank you frank for your fan super chat we always appreciate a little bit of support for the speakers who are here on their own time that's amazing that uh you would contribute nine five ninety five dollars what do you both think uh kenneth humphrey's idea that not only was jesus mythological but so was paul that both were literally characters i don't believe that paul i don't believe that paul was fictional at all i don't actually believe that jesus was entirely fictional i think that he was largely so and that paul is a big part of that but that he wasn't entirely so and i don't believe that paul was was fictional at all all right and your thoughts there stewart will move on agreed other than i think christus is a specific christ that the christians worshiped all right let's carry on rusty colon for five dollars canadian stewart would uh why would an all powerful supreme being allow vastly different interpretations of his commands that leave to eternal torture and damn nation first of all there's an orthodox faith that 34 percent of christians understand and agree on secondly the ten commandments for example i don't think there's too much misinterpretation around the ten commandments or the sermon on the map oh yeah there is depending on whether are you talking about exodus 20 or exodus 34 okay there is there's some but what what does this guy expect like like what what does he desire he wants all of our brains fixed perfectly to have a perfect exact understanding of every word in the english you know dictionary so no there's going to be different interpretations and understanding but ultimately if you misunderstand what murder means and you kill it's killing instead of murdering her i'm pretty sure that's not going to send you to hell no sin ultimately is going to send you to hell it's a matter of sin of disbelief oh yeah you brought that up earlier all right well let's carry on fellas we got i like it ryan i like it ryan i'm trying to keep you guys going because i like i know you want to carry on their spirit right this is technically venomous just technically i like i like the wristband that's what i'm all after you know but there it is i'm holding a venice for that oh look at that go all right i i picked that week that album up a few weeks ago my buddy before he left elven colander oh yeah man i loved you i love priests i was gonna say i got machine head and then i ordered in unleashed in the east my buddy left me his record player before he moved away to ontario he's actually the rhythm player on all the lovely tracks that everybody hears on modern day debate when i'm hosting because uh i'll use it as a way to promote my music you're you're such an anachronism you're way too young to be into the music you like uh yeah you should see me when i was in grade seven and i was like oh i like buddy holly i made my way into queen i mean my way into queen and every day i would come home and i was 15 and i'd be singing you know another one bites the dust anyways i gotta be careful but uh eventually i got into d.o and rob halford and all them good high screaming vocalists and uh me and my old music teacher we ended up linking back together and we're doing a really cool act right now doing rainbow and d.o and you know heaven and hell and d.o rainbow with d.o as the frontman of course you know a star gazer is my favorite tune so i mean i've been ripping that one and screaming it out but i gotta be good here everybody you're getting me distracted i gotta tell you you're talking you're doing a different show right now you're getting me distracted on the metal my friend all right so uh iron if your snakes could talk what could what would they say i think they would say holy dive el aron for $1.99 steward just stepped out so let's find another one for aron aron you're a good person respect sir from el aron for $1.99 well thank you uh charles lair for $1.99 ryan indeed you are goaded well whatever that means i mean i think that's a good thing um you know i i can scream a good tune that's good i'll put something on for the end of the show um easy walks for $2 how can aron hail to satan and not believe in god because in the satanic temple when you hail satan you you hail yourself because it's about self-empowerment we don't believe in a literal satan so and and very often when you hear people say hail satan listen for a moment longer they'll say hail satan and then say hail by self all right hopefully that answers your question easy walks el aron for $1.99 aron why are you arguing for alt uh altaryan ethics you sorry uh you util utilitarian ethics utilitarian that's well utilitarian sorry i i pronounced it wrong i i had to zoom in here i should be wearing my glasses because i'm older than i appear yeah you're saying that to me me you're barely pubescent compared to me it doesn't matter i have no idea i i i consider myself utilitarian so the ethics of what is required of society would be utilitarian i i don't know what i didn't see the original question i i i would ask the person to paraphrase it if i had that opportunity but i'm given that this is the one time i'm going to hear this question that's the best way i can answer it i'm going to be did i interpret it as pragmatic and i'm i'm a pragmatist so i'm going to interpret it that way all right well let's carry on el aron for $4.99 aron said muslims are leaving islam in west i am non-western born muslim and sometimes they try to even excommunicate me by accusing me of being liberal you know you're making inroads when they accuse you of that yeah but i'm not a liberal i'm a leftist and so people try to accuse me of being a liberal i'm like no no no you need to keep going all right well let's carry on there steward's back thanks steward for coming back aron if you need to take a little washroom break uh grab a drink no i just i just urinated right here in my chair it'll be fine aron's got a bottle everybody that's fine he was a professional he's got a he's got an elegant filtration system hooked up to him right now built into his chair it's fine all right so el aron for $1.99 steward soul is a metaphysical self it's not matter yeah agreed all right okay that was the question i was asking before and as i said when i when i talked to a number of of neuroscientists and neurophilosophers specifically daniel denna and patricia churchland they they go on about and the neuroscientists did as well as six of them i can't remember all their names but they but they all say there's no support at all for mind-body dualism they're just simply flat out is not a soul all right you want to close this out there steward nope nope all right well that's the ending thoughts there uh lord as danis $1.99 how many people does god kill and why so many it's a bit of a loaded question but you guys can address it if you'd like where is the empirical proof that god kills so many people all right well we don't have empirical proof all we have is the mythology exactly we we have estimates you know that that god killed everybody on earth at a given moment it was in 24th century bce so we have to estimate what the population of the planet is minus eight would you have been okay if god killed the nazis before they brutally killed six million jews would i have been okay if god killed bad people instead of killing everybody for no fucking reason are you sure you want to ask me that loaded question every whoa who said everybody is was not bad because that's what you just said everybody but bad and thoughts and behaviors every doe in south america every puppy in north america it doesn't matter god apparently had some issue with a handful of people in the north in the middle east being too noisy so he decided that that the only thing he could do because god doesn't know how to do problem solving he decided the only thing that he could do was to kill everybody everywhere everything everywhere to get rid of these handful of people in the middle east now he could have blinked them all into the corn field he could like other gods have done on the twilight zone he could have done a number of other things but no he went for the most costly ridiculous over the top excessively cruel stupid kind of act that he possibly could why because the people who made up this story experienced a flood in their neighborhood and decided to blame it on the gods well i believe in the local flood so i don't i don't agree with okay so you believe in the flood of surepok in 2900 bce let's let's do it isn't it where it is for him there you did not answer my question though oh well then we'll pass it back what's your question there stewart now killing nazis illegally it's not the the ones in control in control of the g.o.p now or the ones from a century ago all right let's go on okay all right we'll be getting into the all the jargon imagine of avenue $20 guys let me ask a hypothetical in the internet there's a secretive organization called the csp foundation they hunt down and contain anomalies if it is real if it is reasonable to say it is real given its attributes is it real no strange one there's a strange one i think i read it with the right tone honestly yeah i i people have accused me of of of endorsing verificationism and therefore i'm supposed to belong to some philosophical thing that lost lost popularity in the 19th century but i don't i i do however before i assume that anything is true i want to be able to show that there is some truth to it so to that degree yeah i want to be able to verify before i declare before i buy into something all right well let's move on from there aileron said soul affects your brain and your brain affects your soul i think we've already kind of there is no such thing as a soul yeah i was going to say i think aileron we've touched enough on that subject and kind of figured out where our debaters disagree uh on that i i will admit that i have a soul what i'm listening to really extremely good blues guitar but otherwise no oh we have a hendrix fan look at that that's good stuff too uh a best star 499 when stewart made an excuse for matt 1628 as uh he was talking about events in 70 ad shows he is full of something that is not the holy ghost c verse 27 don't put quotations unless you want my preacher voice what are you doing i don't know there's really a question there stewart it's kind of like a proclamation so i mean you know people who heard that question you can kind of look into that uh saying you're making an excuse for matt 1628 thoughts i don't have verse 27 in front of me all right no problem i'm sure we'll uh we'll get that expounded on some other time i i'm still reading your chats and i'm seeing people that don't know what punctuation means who also think that just making an assertion is establishing in fact oh the people that don't know what punctuation means and then they submit the super chats and i have to read them i'm trying to wonder like what is the flow here what is the flow all right so so we clip that everybody that's that's what i want you to gather from this punctuation very important um let's continue on elorant soul plus brain is why we're here for training um we like i said we've already answered enough questions about the soul elorant so i appreciate your super chat but we want to get these fellas out here at somewhat a decent hour and now we're not doing that as it goes so uh stew from lord stanis for 499 can you read about how the biblical god was developed from a polytheistic to monotheistic this is Yahwehism what are your thoughts on this so it was developed from polytheistic to monotheistic there was no there was there was no stealing from any type of polytheism i don't see any evidence for that and i've heard that once before but there's no evidence that somehow monotheism stole from polytheism and okay so there's the fact that Judaism was originally polytheistic so that fact in evidence is one of the ones that he's regret that he's uh just simply ignoring and then there's the the origin uh that around the the origin of Judaism there was the misopotamian religions there was the permeate the persian religions egyptians and so forth and some of those were toying with monotheism so the persians had a monotheistic religion and the egyptians had a monotheistic religion and so Judaism was being partially influenced by that that's another fact in evidence that uh that steward is overlooking so when he says there is no fact he means that actually that there is multiple facts and evidence he just doesn't know about them yet i took a course on the comparative history of world religions i suggest steward that you do the same i had a wonderful instructor on that and that that seems to make all the difference 10 seconds my my son took the same course that i did with a different instructor after i did and said that the class uh sucked because my son sat through the class with me we had a methodist instructor who had who had a doctorate in theology and had actually personally been to all of these different holy structures across asia and so forth uh but the next guy after him was a southern baptist preacher who had never been outside of the united states and my son said that class just absolutely sucked all right so let's do that was for you so uh i'll give you up to a minute to close us out on that one there without interruption so uh what are your thoughts there um no the judeo it was it was always worshiped the judeo christian god was always worshiped as a monotheistic god now were there influences like aran mentioned in the sense of were there dabbling in in potential ideas of polytheism potentially but no there's no show show me any type of paper anywhere any scholarly ancient document talking about that the jews worshiped many gods at once and i'll okay yeah yeah not not a problem if you visit me an email i'll be able to produce that and in the meantime spider 33 i shouldn't be addressing the people in your chat because they're all fucking idiots calling me an old childless snake man after having raised five kids two of them by myself why are your chat people all such idiots that i have no control over that's kind of one of those kind of youtube things i you know you fellas choose to leave the mark on the planet that you want but uh just just know that uh you know if you're not being constructive well then that's it's a tautology you're being just that so a la ron 199 yes they will become muslim uh ala medillia i'm not sure what we got there jason jones two dollars wrong pew research uh wrong pew research better sorry you did have punctuation i'm not sure what they're referring to there with the pew research being wrong no all right sorry jason we've lost that point uh you know that's coming gone so uh lord de santis uh lord de santis sorry you know what i've been watching too much it's been watching too much political jargon trying to find these political speakers so you know what don't blame me lord stanice dollar 499 stew if your father cliff came to you and said stew god has told me to take you up the hill and sacrifice you what is your reaction to this i'd ask which god did that ever and which book commanded that ever because genesis chapter 22 clearly abraham tells the servants we will be back clearly god will provide so there was never any question of somehow him going to stab his son and call it quits in the relationship all right well let's carry on y'all who again for two dollars canadian he says stew your audio cuts out because of your speakers so yeah if you have speakers in your room uh you know and not in ear monitors it can sometimes uh cut into your microphone when you're trying to speak so that could be it by the way and i'm not getting on arin for this oh there he is we're gonna close hi steward i'm of the portable atheists the atheists who just are atheists because of daddy being mean growing up or or a bumper sticker that they read i a genesis 22 type passage with abraham and isaac like that's what i'm talking about in terms of they haven't done any looking into what that passage is actually about what the meaning is for example like it's coming out of genesis for example so you should be really looking into what the the narrative structure is and what the meaning is but then secondly contextually speaking thirdly the hebrew and this is not me trying to dance at all like i studied this in seminary and it is so clear that in no sense is this an example of child murder so this is a perfect example of what i'm stating when it comes to when arin says just to read the bible and don't be us around it i hate to say it but but this is an example of everybody interprets how are you going to interpret are you going to interpret correctly closest to context or not i don't mean to laugh but the question about you know or the advice about your audio cutting out and the next thing we know we're talking about murder that's what kind of set me off i was like this was about your audio and then it happens everybody we're back on topic that's fine ele ron 499 uh that was already asked actually while you were on break that was for arin um that's for ele ron dollar 99 arin lack of kindness will be your weakest point as kind of now i shouldn't read that sorry that's i'm just kind of reading them as they come in that's not really a question i've been kind you have no idea the amount of patience that i've exhibited for this i think everybody's being good tonight arin is very kind for an atheist all right so you leave him alone for for a human being i love all of you fellas you're great vaughn zoom i love ryan you you calm down don't you pull everybody you you better explain what that means 999 i love watching you guys talk a 999 question for steward why believe in an empty tomb when victims of crucifixion were left to rot or be eaten yeah not in a massive grave with with the stature of a jesus christ figure a common grave would have been for somebody who was completely not known he wouldn't have been tried like jesus was tried so all right or the way that that jocephus describes it which i and i don't add i don't defend anything that robert price says because he and i are politically at ends but i i did read an interesting thing from robert price about uh the interpretation of josephus as compared to luke that there's a point where josephus bar mathias can be interpreted as uh joseph he's by his heber name could be interpreted as joseph of error mathia and the way that bob price puts this it was interesting to read the two captions together and realize that this is the same story being told from two different perspectives i had to be impressed with the way that he drew this extrapolation i'm not saying it's legitimate that it's necessarily valid but it does it did seem to me to be the way he presented his argument and as i said bob price and i i like the guy for a long time he and i are politically at odds but i i did like this one argument that he made about that what were the different angles the way that that uh joseph um joseph bar mathias which would be joseph of error mathia the way that he shows up and he has three friends who were who are on the cross and that he goes to titus rather than uh pilot he goes to titus who was actually the person in charge at that time and he begs to have his free free he has three friends taken down and then two of them live and then one of them died and it just the the the way that he tells the story when you read when you realize when you read josephus through the eyes of bob price and then you read luke it does read as if it's the same scene seen from two sides or you know from either perspective that luke is writing about the same scene as josephus is not joseph of error mathia but joseph is bar mathias all right uh or joseph bar mathias question was for you there stewart so you want to close this out on that thought there i can't remember what it was oh it's all right that's all right uh you know the uh the short term gets a little bit fuzzy when these things get a little bit longer everybody so that's what you get for porn in your superchats like that uh el arant uh dollar 99 the crux of his question is christians aren't evil aran i never said they were evil okay being deceived doesn't mean evil i'm sorry that you believe even a lie and i'd be happy to help you out with that but that's your problem it's not that you're evil it's you're you're deceived i just don't understand why john lennon wasn't right he was right he was atheist yeah when he's exactly when he said in 1966 the time magazine as as the u.s gets more scientific we will see religion go i am certain of it and the opposite happened yeah that is that that is upsetting i can't tell you how much as science has i mean as somebody who grew up in that time period who looked to you know star trek and so forth as like okay we're making advancements we're learning the the errors of our old ways we're learning the new truths you know we're going to get better that's what i thought we were doing and then we elected trump yeah trumpet is one and two chronicles yeah are we talking about where they they they wear the mark of the the mark of the beast on their forehead and it says ma ga i still got a guy wearing a maga hat around town so it's amazing he's like the nicest guy in the world so if anybody ever goes after him they should feel very yeah my mother told me that that trump was still president and i i made her sign a document that if by september of last year if trump is still in mara lago and biden is still in the white house will she admit that her news sources were wrong and she signed that and then i pulled it out in september late late september i pulled that out and like you remember signing this and she said you'll find out eventually okay so you just don't stand by your own word at all yeah and so now she is in a nursing home uh with dementia because that's what leads to that yeah Fox News does all right well let's let's carry on there everybody and sorry to hear that as i pop back in i left on what would seem to be a happy note for me as i was like oh let me go use the washroom right quick john lennon yeah he made some great music and i come back and then you left me and steward alone but you guys you know what i came back and you guys were behaving and that's better than i could ask from my children and some of the other people i've hosted on here when i've had to pop out and use the washroom and i come back and i'm like who's biting who's head off what's going on here vice all right so in defense i wait how many questions are left just a few more we're getting to the wrap up here and i'm gonna need another beer because i can tell because he's that was an hour ago that he said a few more the last yeah honestly well i'm drawing my best it's don't worry ryan it's not my fault it's only 60 percent your fault i i've said 10 seconds 15 seconds 10 seconds here fellas 30 seconds there and then like five minutes later you guys have finished up on your point i don't want to cut you off i mean i want you guys to be able to get your ideas out there what yeah what you're thinking uh yeah well you've been talking to school of rock too mister i well i had to do what i had to do you know you are an anachronism there's nobody with a face that should look that young that likes the music that you do that's that's all right i was gonna say yeah anybody who likes likes what i do as far as like the uh the modern day debate you can check me out on facebook i got a group called light and shade we mostly just do like led zeppelin covers and you know i think the last clip i put up was like stairway to heaven or over the hills and far away or some nonsense like that all right so that's really old shit man i i love it though you know i like i like that explosive vocal stuff and it's funny and then you two talk about the uh i am no musician although i like my keith green aron may know who keith green is no neither of you guys know makes me sad how about the brother of hank green he was uh he was john green amy fey's favorite singer did you see amy fey tell me you oh arne you got to watch tammy fey you know it's uh tammy fey tammy fey you know that evangelical leader back to me jim and tammy baker no it's definitely tammy fey is tammy fey baker i used to watch them all the time whenever i wanted to get whenever i really wanted to get pissed off i would watch jim and tammy fey baker bro you gotta watch the movie jack jessica chastain just won the best actress for it last year i can't believe you haven't seen it you gotta let me know what you think of it you're you're gonna love it it's good it was so irritating that i'm watching that this one show where they said is and this was like 1982 and they they they they brought in these the people that used to work for gary gygax and they said is dungeons and dragons a satanic organization and the answer straight up no in matter of fact we've even hired a catholic priest to make sure that nothing that we that we've posted in our publications could possibly be interpreted as satanic and so she grabs the camera tammy fey does and says see dungeons and dragons is willfully a just a satanic organization but that's what evangelicalism is lies that's it that's just lies they had they had bought they had they had um what the fuck the old codger that just died the the one that always always always thinking stupid shit against hating people what what was his name it was a jerry fall while that just passed away was that no no no it was the one after him it was uh oh stanley no but the one where there was there's a lot of memes about it though basically the christian coalition the the the the one that was running the 700 pat robertson that was it i remember the memes yeah the one who told his his 30 000 some odd followers in 1993 or four to go out and kill homosexuals where you find them in order to prevent earthquakes that guy yeah i forgot where i was going with that that's all right we we we launched from music yeah he i saw him on jim and tammy fey's show and he was showing ozzy osborn's speak of the devil and he was talking about how this is all satanic music i'm like ozzy's like spitting great jelly out of his mouth for a for a fucking studio album why do you have to like over dramatize everything because they they have to lie they have to keep people scared in order to keep the donations coming in and that was the foundation for fox news well let's carry on with the superchats their fellas but i think that's a true debate uh that we should have there is uh you know who is the better front man ozzy or d.o i mean illan gillen did that one album with sabbath and so did rob helford but i think d.o and ozzy that's the real debate right there all right in defense you are in anachronism 999 arin you have a terrible hermeneutic we are saved by grace alone by faith alone through christ alone we are called to confess for our sins and repent not by our works and that no one can boast it's a more empty assertions that you can't verify i i wish that i could be like religious people and just like makeup whatever i want to say and then just say it like it's truth and then you know have people give me millions of dollars for having lied to them but unfortunately i have ethics so all right well we'll carry on and i don't mean to i i don't want to sound biased anybody uh is just a matter of uh it's not really a question i wrapped up in what you said they're in defense of the gospel like i said it's more of a proclamation we do want to carry on a la ronde dollar 99 laurence crosses nothing this is quantum potential thoughts on that up to a minute no not even up to a minute we got no thoughts on that nobody's got any thoughts on that i don't think it was even mentioned fellas so charles lanard 499 aron if you want proof of ghosts just try emailing stewart i should have read that one first yeah it's well that's fun charles you know we we enjoy having a little laugh everyone so i'm still seeing some floating turds in your comment section that want to accuse me of lying but of course can never say anything that i've actually lied about you can't show that what i've said was false nor show how i knew it was false when i said it because you can never show that it was false there's a problem if you can't meet criteria one how are you going to make it a problem too well you heard it here you're floating turds that's what aron roth thinks of you uh and your uh your criticisms there uh you know uh check out our speakers they're both going to be linked in our description if you want to hear more from either of them easy walks five dollars how does science measure this and study what they they can't see or prove how does science measure or study what they can't see or prove is it supported is it not if it's not let's talk about what is all right let's carry on nuzzy d a dollar ninety nine why is christianity more true than any other uh so steward any other what i i think they mean bullshit story i think they mean more than any other religion so uh steward i'm going to give you up to uh yeah if you want to expound for 30 seconds why you think christianity is because the grave because the grave of buddha muhammad shirley mclean they're all full but jesus christ grave never had a grave he's surely mclean did no she's a low five yeah and and and jesus never had a grave and wouldn't have had because he would have been he would have been like taught he would have been tossed in with all of the the other that that would just refuse like a big pile of people except for this uh joseph of arithy excuse me uh josephus who then wants to save his friend and so he puts him in his own private tomb only he doesn't apparently get there and there's some problem and then we got a bullshit story about how the disciples later start recognizing random people in the crowd as if they're jesus and the people who don't do people they recognize don't even cop to being jesus what but they recognize him as being jesus anyway this what are you talking about all right fellas i'm trying to bring you guys in on these super chats but you you're riffing you're riffing harder than rock stars i'll tell you uh and you these guys are rock stars so hit that like button and uh yeah and can we just can we just come back to the summary of what would be the point if if christianity was real obviously it isn't but if if christianity was real the whole thing is that we're supposed to believe it doesn't matter what you do it doesn't matter what your morality is it just matters what you believe do you believe the right type or brand of bullshit story for no reason and and and then you're going to go to hell if you don't so you have to violate the first commandment of the jews to believe that jesus is this god in front of god's you're gonna do that you thou shalt have no other gods before me except that know that nobody comes through the father but through me so you have to violate that to believe in jesus and if you don't believe in jesus merciless psychotic fucking torture forever and ever and ever and ever it doesn't matter if you had to go to reason because god is not a righteous judge he just judges not morality but whether you believe and what you believe and and if you didn't it doesn't matter why you didn't i didn't give you evidence god i god i jojoba hid all the evidence from you i gave you only evidence to show that all of christianity is bullshit and so you believed my lie and therefore i'm gonna i'm gonna torture you forever forever and ever and ever that's that was a great life that's christianity i'm gonna annihilate this i don't think it goes on forever let's let's carry on fellas because the longer we riff the more we generate interest in super chats and you guys are like i said the more you carry on the more you're going to keep yourselves here uh because these questions are gonna uh you know create more big solos so el orant crime doesn't have religion cool i think we can carry on abraham tartar for a dollar that's your first super chat thanks for the dollar 999 from mal stewart that was a stupid or stupid a stupid and dishonest jab that you made to assert that the person you mentioned killed themselves because of atheism is it a self-identifying christian has let's be fair he said it wasn't because his worldview is empty he did assert that the worldview was empty and that is wrong that is a lie and but he did say that it wasn't because of that and that was just his take not mine proceed and because atheism is not an empty worldview people in the chat say that they want that i want people to be as empty as i am i am fuller than most of your people in your chat well let's carry on i've always had a rewarding life i wish everybody else could have could have enjoyed life as much as i do i'm 60 years old i'm gonna die at some point relatively soon and it's okay because i had a good run i wish everybody else could say that they can't what if you didn't have a good run that's not okay you just said it's okay because you did have a good run i because i feel good about it yeah so many people don't get about it the majority of people in this world don't feel good about it and i get that i get that and i i want to empathize with that if i had had 60 years of struggle and pain and torture and failure and that's all i've ever experienced i would feel terrible about that i don't know how to relate to anything other than what i've experienced all right i wish that other people could feel as rewarded as i do if i died when i was 20 i would have been happy i mean because i i had a good run then it's just the guys who were dying in the Balkans and they said it's only in the comfort of a white suburban home that we can say that we had a good life a good run and act like everything's fine suburban home i didn't live in a white suburban home until i was 40 let's uh let's carry on there follow on ryan i'm making the last point here since we're all all three of us are dabbling into commentary it's okay i'm um no my point there is back to your earlier personal question about my belief in god that's one of them right there and hey that could be wishful thinking where i'm just wanting everybody to get a fair shake in this life but i think there's going to be a judgment day and i want it very badly how do you how do you not be able to not review how do you not reconcile how unjust that is what's that how do you not reconcile how unjust that is no every single bro hold on here every single stoppage that you have in say the middle east of the cycle of revenge the revenge cycle is when that people group believes that there is a judgment day so that they don't have to get it here on this earth so how do you reconcile how unjust the notion of a judgment day is especially within the myopic and insane confines of the god of abraham but look at the prison system you keep people locked up their entire lives is that i don't advocate that all right let's try to move on there from uh from there guys i don't i don't think that's effective because it's it there's nothing about rehabilitation or forgiveness and you know i'm about those both of them so i i've been tchaikovsky for five dollars thank you are and for helping me finally realize the lies of christianity uh thanks for the compliment there i've been uh for the thanks uh any idea if you and gutsy gibbon will have any more videos in the future gutsy are you asking if i will have other videos with gutsy gibbon yeah i think they want to know if that's something you got planned in the future i'm hoping so she's a fucking star all right excellent let's carry on there uh el around $1.99 right into your job time to answer the questions uh yeah i'm i'm getting to it you know i i like to let the people riff off and i think this is going to be probably the most we've gotten to expound on steward and arans beliefs on modern day debate uh albeit uh it was some warning for me that they're riffing a little harder than they usually do wits it gets it $4.99 physics at all scales shows us that all phenomena is in a process of seeking a state of equilibrium what is the and to descend for the intrinsic order and to i will grant that you either in in nature you're either going to achieve balance for some time or you're going to fail to achieve balance for any time in which you you had to calamity so the the only way you can prolong your being is to mean you know is to achieve balance but there's but there's no goal i mean it's not a it's not intentional all right well let's carry on al around $1.99 bring sharia law and ban beer here just kidding no never ban beer never take my sweet beer away from me all right now uh blaster master $85 stew what convinces you personally that christianity is true yeah what is the appeal that would be my question let's try to get it in 30 seconds if you don't mind well is god of the universe actually loves you is with you here and there's an eternal reality awaiting i think but but but but aside from the fantasy biggest appeals well you said what is i'm not talking here i'm simply since since there's no i mean there's absolutely no indication that that's real why do you believe it anyway no it's one or i just wanted the first question there i think there's all the evidence in the world you know the teleology meaning none meaning meaning zero geological argument meaning very not one single fact in evidence at all biologists and mini astrophysicists now are saying they're probably that there's no evidence whatsoever but you're asking me the attractiveness of it and that was i want to know why you why you what what is the appeal of believing something for which there is according to universal consensus there's zero evidence at all period sorry say that again yeah none despite the fact there's absolutely no evidence for it and a shit ton of evidence against it why do you believe it anyway just because you say there's no evidence doesn't mean there's no evidence but because there is no evidence i am forced to say there is no evidence because it because you know how much evidence there is i'm going to be literal this is mathematically accurate that's the evidence you have so why do you believe it anyway you're a dying breed leo i'm pretty oh atheism what movie are you quoting come on bro what about bob really you haven't seen what about bob have you know but since there is not a single fact in evidence for your belief which we established in the early part of this debate why do you still make believe what is not evidently true anyway what is the appeal all right let's do that and within like 15 seconds let's move on to the next one there stewart like blaze pascal talks about if you find it attractive then you will honestly start to look into the evidence i don't think are and wait wait wait wait so if i if i find it unattractive and you're not there's still if there's evidence i'm going to look for it doesn't matter whether it's attractive or not but if there's no evidence then it doesn't matter if it's attractive it falls totally falls i talked to kids about this all the time and adults kids okay i'm glad you threw in adults at the end because that's the only ones i care about if they come in and see that the gospel is unattractive i have to change my identity to fit that of a god then they're not going to honestly look for evidence there's no way well then why don't you present the evidence oh because there isn't any that's why you are biased all right there is no evidence there is not one actual fact in evidence to support your belief period that's it that's l we definitely know we definitely know that you guys stand on those pillars on this discussion so let's carry on what's it right we have a shit ton of evidence to show that everything you believe is a lie but we don't have fuck all to say that there's any truth to it so why do you still pretend what is not true i want to know what is the appeal why do you care so much because i believe in truth and it maddens me why i have to talk to people who refuse to who don't care what the truth is who tell me who tell me deliberately that they know that what they believe is not really true but they're going to believe it anyway who say that these may be what the facts are but i prefer to believe this so that bothers me great conspiracy theory called christianity is harming the world and you're out to set people free in a very driven way i'm trying to be honest with people that the thing that irritates me the most about your religion is the fact that it's entirely based on lies that there's that everything you can say in defense of it absolutely every single thing qualifies as a lie in defense of your belief everything zero exceptions and there is nothing true about it that bothers me that's where somebody who loves truth and who only wants to believe things that are true it it it it it confuses me when i meet people like yourself who don't give a fuck what the truth is you're gonna believe the make believe that you know is not really true and lie about it on top of that that confuses me why would you do that just see truth differently 15 seconds or stewart the truth is what the facts are what we can confirm we're not not whatever else we might assume imagine beyond or instead of that all right hold on there that that is the realm of religion we that baseless speculation asserted as if it was a matter of fact that's your belief system we got more super chats pouring in the longer like i said you guys go so you better get on faster with those super chats it's not my fault all right stewart 15 seconds it's not my fault i was i don't like hen guys but i always want we just want to see you get mad at some point 10 seconds yeah i i respect that stewart's ship looks very much like my ship oh very nice i'm doing what i can indeed that ship has sunk yeah so we need to pop the cork on another one are we going to get through this tonight we're going to try uh i don't know what you it's like you said i'm trying to speed you guys along but you guys got a lot of things here you're thinking about hold on there i'm just kidding we're going this is gonna say you're making this worse stewart get down wit's it stewart wit's it gets 999 the first gulp from a glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist from the bottom of glass god is waiting for you arin when are you gonna finish your drink ah wit's it you're just being a troll i'm sorry wit's it i like you but you're being a bit trolly soul 499 oh solo 499 why is it reasonable somebody told me that i should debate wit's it gets it and i went and looked up i don't know two three things and i was convinced that wit's it doesn't get it like about anything and so i decided not i'm not qualified to get that person to help that they need well let's carry on then solo 499 why is it reasonable for atheists to require visual evidence when the apostles of jesus required visual evidence of the resurrection ah because you have seen because you saw evidence but blessed is he who has not seen and yet believed because we're selling a bullshit story and so you're not supposed to question us you're just supposed to shut up and believe whatever we tell you because we tell you that's what religions decree all right let's carry on from there um and yeah let's uh let's try to mitigate the super chats because we want to let everybody go at a good time all around uh trans oxy anna or trans oxy ania land above oxys is the latin name for the region and civilized located civilization located on lower central asia i'm not sure if we and wit's it gets it just proved that he doesn't get it so yeah aron literally agreed to debate with me until i suggested atheism versus creationism and i said but those are not those are not diametrically opposed there's not atheism versus creationism because there's atheism because you know there's atheism versus theism that's opposed but creationism is an extreme version of that and so wit's it gets it proved that he don't get it by trying to say that we know you have to have this extreme radical view or else and so i'm sorry that that's that's why i'll never debate wit's it gets it because he don't don't get it at all wit's it don't get it let's try not to talk too much about other people that aren't on the show right now but they're in the chat but i was gonna say that he's not on the show right now they're spewing their stupidity in the chat but i was gonna say we do debates on creation and evolution so i'm happy to do that but you know you can't get anybody with any accountability to debate me on that subject well let's let's see what we can do as far as the future goes yeah you know let's see that happen our our end is extending the invitation everybody there and i'd like to see it that'd be a lot of fun uh so this one from pc surgeon the original five dollars i'm not a fan of steward's mic uh yeah well that's fine you know you don't have to be a fan of it i can hear stewart great so charles schreiner five dollars frustrating to watch the uh an abundance of evidence get dismissed by not countering with their own evidence thanks aron for helping my deconversion we'll take that as a compliment and carry on from there thanks charles uh you know if you if you don't feel like you got enough out of this discussion i would just say you know go back two hours and you'll find all kinds of stuff uh el arant $1.99 aron okay then religions are part of evolution yeah yeah it's the embarrassing part of our you know like our uh our middle school years okay war boss five dollars canadian aron thank you for defending rationality and truth you're amazing well amazing indeed well war boss we love the uh the complimentary superchats there's a lot better than any diss tracks that we get al arant $1.99 aron atheism doesn't have objective morality no but we're the only ones who do all right al arant $1.99 stewart you are strawmaning yourself i'm not sure what that pertains to so let's just carry on fellas i'll read it because you know stewart's got a strong stomach for it it's not really too ad hominy but uh kent mcdonnell junior five dollars it's amazing that even when aron and gives a broad lesson on history of christianity and it's borrowing of other religions stewart shrugs it up any thoughts there oh you know if i come off as too defensive then it shows that i don't have a very strong faith or relationship with my god i'm sorry that was wrong well nye says four six six six all right we won't do any more on mating because my wife's trying to sleep next time aron raw and stewart are on can i get all three of you to dress as dr franken ferder we return to transylvania you have no idea how much you need to pay in super chats prepare the tractor beam yeah i was going to say yeah that's gonna have to go directly to honey if you want this you should have been here 40 years ago darling all right calm down what's it gets it 499 my actual question was doesn't the initial establishment of a jet of objective moral standard necessitate necessitate necessitate necessitate geez a pre-wet prerequisite of intention boys i'm having trouble because uh because i don't have my glasses on here hold on yeah i think you can make that out doesn't the initial establishment of an objective moral standard and necessitate a prerequisite of intention no for the reason i explained earlier like an hour ago all right like i said fellas there's lots of debate to go through so you know if you miss something go back i'm sure you'll find it uh lilith for $20 for a snake the truth teller well thanks lilith toy yota for $20 no question attached thanks for the $20 we appreciated in defense of the gospel 499 aron would you agree you wouldn't have morality you live by today without being raised in a christian household uh i would definitely disagree with that because it doesn't matter where i lived it doesn't matter what time period i lived in if i lived in a pre-christian time period i i think i would still have the same morality and it would not be christian all right all right christian christianity has can claim no part of my my my my my respect for humanity or truth all right well let's move on from there all around 499 steward western intelligent agencies overthrow two iranian regimes we also witnessed a miracle in taliban replacement with taliban for 2.3 trillion it's also kind of like a declaration so what do you think there it's getting late what's the point i'm not sure uh western intelligence agencies overthrow two iranian regimes yeah toy yota $20 steward next surgery you have your consciousness is in an antithesis oh my goodness antitheseologists hands we work hard to ensure you live your brain is 100 responsible for your consciousness end of story bra binius gauge look him up yeah but why would you bring him up because it's the same it's the same deal yeah but i'm just i'm just curious why would you bring up my argument in your defense because it's midnight and i'm switching to your side okay oh my goodness well yeah we did we didn't go go on like we gotta hurry because people are gonna pour in more stop for a walker five dollars most secular scholars don't even believe joseph's joseph of aria aramathia existed just for your information information just fi i'm sure and his name was josephus all right exit dissolve two dollars steward one eyewitness account of raised jesus not nine false fact you've been fact checked look at that you see a kid let's move on without east jason 83 stew what most influenced the growth of it christianity the miracle stories or its ethical system constantine pre-constantine there were thousands of christians and most constantine millions constantine took it on because it was so big it was smart political move it was a it was a smart strategic move to completely undermine and reverse christian teachings such that no longer were they in renunciates and pacifists now it suddenly becomes onward christian soldiers and prosperity gospel but don't forget he converts fortunately all right ele ron i'm gonna come uh you know consolidate your super chats here because a lot of your questions have already been answered here and i'm gonna ask uh arin uh over here from thomas garmin what is your favorite breed of snake oh um i i i have a couple of uh false water cobras behind me that i i i very much like i i love my my young female i i love her to death i i recently got a uh a reticulated python and i'm finding that they are not deserving of the reputation that they've had all right well you heard it here fellas that's uh that's the one uh he's calling out tonight yeah that could change uh sometimes so uh you know check in again coal beasley five dollars arin is my hero and reminds me of what billy bop thorton would look like with a mustache and long hair and the darkest beer imaginable cheers arin arin sorry thank you how far back on your on your uh super chats are you we're almost to the end here because uh are we really okay yeah ele ronde had a couple more super chats here but a lot of them uh are either just ad-homs or you know questions we've already answered so we're just gonna move on from them sorry ele ron i'm glad that people are paying for these because the ones that they haven't been paying for i've been seeing some really stupid shit in your chat i should just not look at the chat because i think you should because it seems it seems like you're having a great time with it i mean you know there's some dumb motherfuckers in your chat billy bob thorton i've got nothing over here i will just wait until the comments afterwards you know uh at least i haven't put myself on mute tonight everybody isn't that just great because last time i was on here with matt uh and uh trey i kept putting myself on mute which was a real pain in my butt so uh let's move on high flyer a flyer 499 maybe satan sent arin to pull us away from jesus just a thought well it would have been a good move if there if there was a satan and a jesus which of course i don't believe think about this because i made this argument at least a decade before almost two decades before i became a satanist myself i was arguing that the worst thing that satan ever did was try to reason with jesus and that and one of these stories you know jesus or satan takes jesus up to this tall mountain and he starts trying to negotiate with him in a way that is obviously suspiciously unbelievable these are not the sorts of things that a reasonable person would have said to jesus 10 seconds but i could see how the propaganda has played into this and if there was a real satan that he's trying to reason against faith and also from my understanding of of hashitan and the zoroastrian scriptures that anybody that tries to reason against faith becomes the satan and so that meant that i am satan and i figured that out 20 years ago before i joined the satanic temple all right well wait wait wait oh god seward's got some thoughts even so king david joe doubting thomas i know you like to pick on doubting thomas so maybe i shouldn't have said that one they are questioning god putting him in the dock non-stop for about what you combine those two books 250 chapters worth and god allows it most of the time like 90 yeah and then jesus comes in and says thou shalt not put the lord thy god to the test so that's thomas and the reason why he said that was because thomas had already received evidence from the disciples and so he had many opportunities and so now finally jesus is saying hey buddy it's time to stop doubting got plenty of evidence now take the leap all right but he criticized him he criticized him for asking for evidence no it wasn't that you've had enough evidence and now you should believe no you said blessed is he who has not seen and yet believe because we're looking for only credulous gulla believers in my church no no he never beats up on anybody when it comes except thomas directly well oh he's he's harder on his disciples but look at how he reinstates peter i mean peter didn't believe not only did not believe he was rejecting him completely we can have a lot of interesting conversations until i d convert you all right let's carry on listen to this real quick my buddy yesterday got unbaptized after i baptized him i didn't know that was a thing in the jewish synagogue i'm a little bit upset about it to be honest i got unbaptized a year ago i got unbaptized a year ago at but at the satanic temple event in uh in in the uh the idaho state capital in boise and then i recorded a number of unbaptisms uh last week in uh in washington state at the the the shan fut concerts where they were there was there was a big satanic gathering that was also going on the same thing there was a bunch of unbaptisms going on there and uh i got to record rebecca vitzman and her husband being unbaptized i was proud to be part of that all right well let's carry on everybody um although i have to complain that the way the satanists do the the unbaptism i still don't think is is correct or complete because it doesn't involve a blow dryer well let's carry on fellas uh that's good good thoughts on that robin webster uh five dollars please learn about urman if you wish to quote him he has a course on how the gospels are anonymous and some versions of the bible says so yep yes yes that's exactly right my point was bartho does not hold that in a dogmatic way look at his debate with um peter williams peter j williams in no way is he like they are anonymous he thinks they probably are but in no way is he dogmatic about it okay but how what's the difference if he thinks they're probably anonymous meaning we don't have any any means of identifying an author for these and i agree with him we don't have a way of identifying and no reason to assume an author's name like you erroneously do then how was it dogmatic because the burden of proof still remains on you guys and you having you for assuming no you know who the author is nobody knows who the author is you're the one pretending that you know we don't know therefore burden of proof all on you know the definition of burden of proof is i know that christians hate nothing more than the burden of proof but it's because you keep making these empty ass assertions of impossible absurdity that you can't back up email bart email bart and we'll see who's right it's all i got okay okay all right let's hear me the exact question because i want this in documentation i can email bart and i will but i want the exact question documented from you i will quote that exact question when i send it i like that's funny the skeptic when it came to this just like i'm a healthy skeptic on this whole debate topic that's why people wait wait wait you you don't get to believe credulous shit for no evidence and then claim to be a skeptic why people say hey he's one step away from atheism because you don't get to believe make believe credulous bullshit with no evidence whatsoever and then pretend to be a skeptic you don't get to do that well i'm not gonna allow it well you and daniel denett are two of the only brights in this world self-proclaimed brights and i need to get there and i'll get there i do not self-proclaim as a bright nor do i think that denett does i bet he's a brilliant man i love him all his books that's all written in his books all right we're gonna try to read we're gonna try to read all the super chats over five dollars to get these blacked out and already i already said aleronte uh you know most of the questions that you asked there like massive respect for taking care of the i haven't read any of the books of the so-called new atheists i haven't read any of them i read scientific articles and that's almost exclusively what i read is scientific stuff i have read a handful of of of of course the comparative religious mythologies and i've read some analyses of those but i don't like going into non i don't like going into fiction so i prefer to read science so if daniel denett or richard dockins or sanham or saris or whoever had published something i didn't read it so i don't know what they said i don't worship anybody as i've pointed out before all right well let's carry on with the super chats and now you heard it here at iron says he doesn't worship anybody so uh you know and then some asshole calls me a hypocrite for not being hypocritical don't worry about the old super chat there's all kinds of people in there and there are several things uh bender is great uh says for 699 canadian not really on topic uh but does iron listen to uber heavy music something like cannibal corpse or does he get into anything heavier uh not super heavy i have listened to decapitated what was it oh man i'm trying to remember uh decapitated what the fuck i can't remember the name decapitated the cat cat cannibal or cattle decapitation something like but i listen to serious xm when i do it's always on the um the extreme metal channel and i don't have a lot of time unfortunately unless i'm driving someplace i wish that i had more pop culture references uh my favorite band at the moment is in this moment uh and of course ginger uh and and kubla con and it is it is cattle decapitation and that that is i i do appreciate them i do like that sort of music it makes me feel nice if that makes any fucking sense oh yeah well i was gonna say i mean i i feel kind of uh once again out of place because i don't know any of those bands there because most of the i like amon amar said it's the same kind of shit all the time and i i feel like i've kind of been there like 30 years ago well for the sake of fun uh stewart what's your favorite band oh i don't know if i'm gonna be a little cliche mumpered in the suns oh nice no as i say yet i don't know for me there's sometimes toss up between like queen and deo and judas priest and uh i don't know there's there are you a look there's are you i've seen i've seen alice cooper uh motley crew black sabbath ozzy osbourne i've seen i've seen all of the judas priest i've seen their farewell concert three times oh yeah he keeps saying farewell and then you know comes back for more ozzy's done more farewells ozzy keeps doing farewell judas priest keeps doing farewell i've seen their farewell concert like three times each no that means you wonder in 2000 years will they say it was a resurrection a resurrection of ozzy osbourne well let me tell you what i what i noticed you know what i what i what i noticed back in the day i could go to the concert for 15 dollars and pay dollar drafts back in the 80s i paid 144 and then i go to see priest this was to see ozzy and judas priest but then in the last decade i would go to see ozzy and judas priest and it would be 150 dollars and 10 dollar drafts so everything got 10 times more expensive but nobody's making 10 times as much money no i hear that i like i just said i spent 144 bucks to go see judas priest uh it was a great show good show though wasn't it oh my god he can scream that was amazing he's still going uh 0 499 uh that was his question there so uh thanks for that ryan for 20 i have seen judas priest so many times just in the last five years since they announced the retirement i've seen oh nice my old band we used to be able to rip through a really hard judas priest song called tyrant uh it's a really old priest and it's a really hard song to play in a band because it just changes all the time so my favorite priest song you stitch me up good then you cut me down burn it up you hang around yeah exactly i love that but yeah keep me winning it's not part of the song it's not part of their tour anymore what the the one that that really gets me is the sentinel i always i go waiting to hear the sentinel and there was one tour where they didn't play the sentinel and i felt so rejected uh yeah they yeah as i say the sentinel there's a live of it online and it's really wicked but uh yeah that's one of the i got firepower here on vinyl and i've got um uh killing machine which is the album you just referenced and one of the songs i really want to do is delivering the goods i was actually trying to get sony to give us the rights to that for this show uh and and emailing them and being a real butt because i was like that'd be so sick you are a complete freak i know young man thank you i want to go to a show with you yeah rock on it's good it's good i was gonna say i'm hoping to be down in texas actually to scream and shout at people that'd be a lot of fun uh one of these times i'll be down here for one of the live appearances give me give me a heads up because there's a number of shows we could do oh that's fun i'm always always interested in that uh so yeah twenty dollars uh credit when credit is due stewart your ability uh your ability you come lost debates is impressive you're just being rude for twenty dollars ryan and a fellow ryan you're just telling stewart that he lost you know i think everybody won here tonight because we're all having a good time for me ryan i'm just told ryan to bring it and i like it like the edginess no being nice on here yeah it's nice of these if it's all about evolutionary theory then niceness is weakness and should be the superman niches superman and we should live for ourselves and ourselves should be god well gosh that sounds familiar that reminds me of what i read in mine comp when when adolf hitler adamantly denounced uh evolution uh yeah i was gonna say that i thought that took a little turn 499 uh sorry 49 99 thank you so much uh w m x 99 first time catching you live my eight-year-old wanted to ask you why you guys are up so late why are we up so late my goodness these guys wanted to talk that's what it ended up being that was a deeper guys including the rest of the question says great show and demonstration on both sides on how to use thinking critical thinking skills and how to not use critical thinking skills so um it's you know what you're enigmatic i have no idea who that's for so we're just going to say that's a win for everybody once again um eloran once again uh check the rest of the debate i think your questions will be answered mutt mutt keep children away from any religions comments up to a minute there fellas no thoughts all right john carter five dollars stewart are you educated and if so why you are partaking in the tree of knowledge the ultimate sin wait say that again stewart are you educated and if so why are you partaking in the tree of knowledge because that's the ultimate sin yeah most of the end god gave us god gave us total freedom other than one thing sounds like good parenting actually you don't want to give free license to everything to children and so there was guidelines but we thought that we knew better than god but not only that we thought god did not have his best for us and we needed to have our own best for us so we worshiped ourselves because you have to worship something because you don't have to worship anything we know what happens when there's ultimate freedom and in this country the only moral objective really in terms of what everybody thinks is right is everybody should have ultimate freedom and if you look at every psychological study that it's not that case a single child is struggling because we're always we're we're leaning toward what is best for society and stewart demands anxiety it's through the roof this representing the atheist position divorce increase increase depression increase suicide increase lack of forgiveness increase would go with divorce except that we're all i'm the one that's advocating for a forgiveness increase and his belief system doesn't even allow for that so will you just quit lying i'm just giving the stats i'm not making a case you're just lying that's all you're doing for either closing out i'm i that that's all you're doing you're just lying misrepresenting my position stating things that are not actual period no no no this is just i'm talking about freedom right now no you're not all right well let's carry on there fellas uh truth powers dollar 99 iron ever tried debating matt on hard atheism who's matt i think they mean matt dilahunty on hard atheism why why would i debate matt on hard atheism well maybe you go truth powers that's uh that's my iran's thoughts about that five dollars from zero hate no no question attached thanks for that uh in defense of the gospel iron if they were selling a bs story why were all the early christians martyred for what they were proclaiming peter was crucified upside down because he didn't feel worthy to die like christ stay good again so they're asking why people would die for the story so iron if you were selling a bs story why were all the early christians martyred for what they were proclaiming peter was crucified upside down because he didn't feel worthy to die like christ because we don't know that any of that happened all of the almost all of that is propaganda like the shit that we listen to on most of our news today except all except there are so many non christian sources that talked about it too okay i would over get we're getting an awful lot of propaganda enemy attestation okay like what again like let's just go with akam's razor on this one okay like i'm pretty sure that they were dying so we could say maybe they hallucinated even go with one of the naturalists but i don't know if it's just and so we have a number of zealots who cut their own balls off so that they could catch the comet hail bop in the 1990s and so that proves that hail bop is real no it's no no no no oh of course not my my example doesn't prove your point i i get it i get it they knew all right to be so when people do stupid shit in defense of their religion if it doesn't count unless it's christianity so we can come up with a number of different examples from different religious would you like to hear a number of different examples of crazy stupid shit people did to torture themselves over their different beliefs that were not christianity does it just not matter unless it's christianity this isn't even in the realm of the debate of course let's tie that back in with this question here zero eight five dollars is morality subjective i'll kick it over to you steward no objective really there has to be a shunt really and i think how do you get objective morality gotta be connected to some type of spiritual realm i would say wait but of course it can't be because there's no such thing so how do you get to a an objective morality well from a materials perspective i would just say the shooter should go scotch-free because maybe they were brought up in a bad home except that i as i already explained twice earlier in this show the source the one real source for our morality is the fact that we are a social species and so we have to rely on our being able to cohabitate productively and stand by our word and show empathy for our family friends and fellows i did explain this to you twice and you don't have a means of objective morality all you have is this asshole pretending to speak for god who's an obvious liar is then using his subjective opinion to speak for god's subjective opinion you don't have an objective morality you don't have a way to know whether something is moral or not i do and so i can judge your bible and your god is both being immoral i believe i told us to do it 30 seconds because objective morality has to do with all gods not the christian god no no it has no it's all to do with gods it has to do with people jesus christ as it has to do with people we the one our magic imaginary friends well let's do it close this one out so we can carry on there because we got a few more we've only got three more but still let's uh let's do it oh my gosh we got an actual number steward there's a there's a light at the tunnel there is holy light we're yeah exactly right we're gonna i may not need to get another beer but i'm gonna well you go ahead and do that um i've i've i've run out that's fine uh you know that's that's good for me um aren't stepped out so i did say we're only gonna ask questions over five dollars to close this out um but aren't are you a fan of nirvana yes or no no no not feeling to me either i i i never really was a big fan either myself i was into that prettier prettier metal and i don't know grunge closest i came to the liking nirvana was liking weird alley incubate a heartless carry on uh le le hair says for five dollars if there's no promise of reward and no threat of punishment would steward still worship his god yes why because it's more about the relationship with him that is about the value of the magic imaginary friend carrot or a stick all right let's not i'm sorry i didn't get an answer to my question go ahead you're not the one asking the questions here i i did just ask a question no you're an hour you're an hour behind me it's only 1112 there okay it is it is 112 here all right go ahead i've gotten the look from my wife like twice but that's okay she's she's crashed out now sorry tori all right she hates when i say that 50 believe me my wife is gonna have words for me too why did you let this go on so long i get it well that's all right you know i i i got into a little uh car accident in my wife's car there a few weeks ago and the guy that i got in the car accident with was driving his wife's car as well that's why i drive a road warrior car separate from my wife boy we were all in trouble we were all in trouble with our wives on that day tough thick last super chat if you throw any more in the super chats i'm not going to read them because we got to let these guys go $50 steward why would god use fear in order for humans to obey him it kind of contradicts the idea of an all-loving god even if he gave us free will there are still better ways to show love than fear yeah it's called justice justice shows love if you don't have justice you don't have any form of love just like r and i were talking about earlier you have to have some type of judgment for these people who have not had a fair shake in life everybody wants that i hope there is one maybe aren's right maybe there is no judgment day and all those ladies with all the corrective surgeries who've i've had to counsel over the years it was just a tough shake and their husbands beat them to almost a death and they win and their husband to get off scout free all right i wish that that were not the case but it is and then frankie p says no proof of evolution uh yeah there is and i'm not lying i can bring it but you can't fucking coward sorry i shouldn't be dealing with your chat it's all right there and you're allowed to have fun with this uh this program anyway you'd like to and i'm glad you are so uh arin uh you know if you got a up to one minute well i'm going to let you close out on your thoughts on our conversation is christianity true and hit that like button anybody who hasn't uh we're past our six six six uh bruce dickinson didn't appear uh to sing any songs so i'm sorry about that guys i know the fact that there is no god is kind of an impediment to christianity being true the fact that jesus was an idiot first century faith healer and fraud is another problem uh and then i think we kind of just stop there the fact that there's no supernatural there's no mind body dualism there is no soul even in the original version of christianity where the christianity just has people just getting up being undead i guess in a zombie apocalypse kind of uh sort of a state none of that has any truth to it at all neither does any of the old testament that jesus constantly refers to we know that the flood never happened the tower of babel never happened adam and eve never happened all of that is absolute bullshit um it's a real problem that we've had to waste so much of our western culture pursuing these idiocies these esops fables that we know that there's no truth to any of it it's disturbing to me and that that and that the belief system not only requires that you make believe things that are not true but that you reject things that are true that's probably the bigger problem that i and it's the thing that i have the biggest problem with where people will tell me will admit to me that they don't care what the truth is they're gonna believe what they want to believe that's the biggest damn problem all right well thank you iron for your closing statement there and stewart up to a minute there your closing thoughts on our discussion this evening on is christianity true i just think you know why was it that jesus was able to get the jewish the jewish people really around him to believe that he was god like how could you have over the unthinkability of that well why did he succeed as the only person who ever claimed deity and also founded a major indeed the largest movement and religious faith the first answer is that this life must have been exquisitely beautiful that he had the greatness we get a glimpse in the gospels must have been smitten those around him it is extraordinarily difficult to claim to be perfect and divine and then to get the people who actually live with you to believe it but jesus did just that that's why christianity is true all right well thank you and thank you iron raw and stewart for coming out here tonight and having this discussion and thank you to everybody in the live chat that kept themselves friendly and to those who didn't well you know what we think of you you know get wracked so that's fun we'll see you next time everybody a modern day debate and you know maybe i'll put on the solo maybe i'll put on a song of me singing i don't know it's fine i got all kinds of stuff here thanks iron and stewart again big round of applause a virtual round of applause for our speakers and we will see you next time cheers everyone

DENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEMS IN INDIA

➡️The video explains about various public health problems and programmes in India which is related to oral health ➡️ Tobacco program ➡️Oral cancer program #dentalnpublichealth #dentalprogramsinindia #dentalproblemsinindia

gILq8SRlACE

Hello everyone, welcome back to a new session on Tentistry and more. So today's topic is a long essay that is Dental Public Health Problems in India and the problems which associated with oral health. So this answer is not very much detailed given in the textbook. So I have collected a little bit of information from the articles and from other sources. So let's see what are the dental public health problems of India. So that means the problems associated with dental health of a public. So how the oral health problems are prevalent in our country. So we know that our country is a developing country. We have a lot of problems with affordability because majority of the population are under poverty lines. So their affordability and their accessibility to a dentist and many problems they are facing. So let's see what are the problems in detail. So first we have a definition of dental public health. So it is the science and art of preventing and controlling dental diseases and promoting dental health through organized community efforts. So controlling the disease and preventing the formation of diseases by organized community efforts. So this war is important community efforts. Now single individual can do any change in a community or a population. So it should be a community effort in order to control the disease. So what are the dental public health problems in India. So the first one is related to the workforce because we have a lot of dentists working in the private sectors and they are practicing as a clinical dentist not as a public health dentist. So I have mentioned in my one after session what is a clinical dentist and what is a public health dentist. So clinical dentist is based on curative services like patient comes with pain, they treat the patient and they go back. But public health dentist is what actually doing a promotion book like how to promote oral health, how to prevent dental diseases. Such things are promoting to a group of people. So only a public dentist can bring out a good change in a society or a country related to the oral health. So public dentist department in the country are not rooted in the community rather than it is confined to hospitals that is one of the main problem. So the branch which is supposed to serve this population by providing them oral health facilities and educational services they are confined to hospitals, they are not going much into the field work. So the department has been used only to increase the number of patients. So in every college the PhD department is actually working to get the patient from the outside to college to increase the revenue because they are not actually helping the people but actually they are helping the college by providing many patients by conducting CAMS so that the college will get a better revenue and it is act as a advertising agency for the colleges because they do dental checkup CAMS which has very little benefit for the community. And the government has not properly executed oral health policy we don't have a proper oral health policy in our country that is a first and foremost problem. The next one is primary oral health care. So we know that what is primary health care we have seen primary health centers and sub centers these are the grass root level where the first level of the people's contact with the health system but we know that very few that is not even 20 percentage of primary health centers around the country have a dentist for a dental public health personnel so it is very very rare in our country that a PHC is having a dentist post so primary level care for a dentistry is not at all happening in our country that is the biggest problem because everywhere we have a doctor that is an MPVS doctor but we don't have a dentist at a primary level so that is the biggest problem because we know how primary health care has improved the health system of our country because it has ease of access any layman, any slump people, any underprivileged people can go to a primary health center and get the basic treatment but if the same person is suffering from an oral health disease he has to travel to city or he has to travel to a private clinic and pay a lot of money for the treatment that he would definitely neglect and that ultimately affect his oral health so the primary level care is not provided in our country at any primary health center very few primary health centers having a dentist post even that they are under-equipped they don't have a proper dental chair no instruments no equipments no other materials so even though we have few dentists at few places they are under-equipped another problem is the under utilization of internship programs so we have a one-year internship after the completion so the new dentist or the fresh dentist they don't know much about the community oral health they are not aware of the responsibility towards society so the attitude of new dentist is just to make money start up a new clinic and it is very much self-centered that attitude building of towards a compassion towards a community is not happening at any places in our curriculum so that is one of the problem another one is self-medication of dental condition because majority of the conditions are like pain so pain has to be dealt properly because pain means we know that if a pain comes it is reaching pulse so we might go to a dentist and get a proper treatment done but most of the patients what they do they go to over the counter medicines and take some painkillers and just get rid of that pain but they are not treating the problem because if they go to the dentist they might need to pay a hefty amount if the dentist asking for a root canal treatment or any other procedure so to avoid that he uses the medication so self-medication is the biggest problem in our country because it is a universal phenomenon so most of the European countries and other countries are also following it but our country the problem is the affordability is a big issue people can't afford a dental treatment because most of the dentists are working in private sector and the another thing is mobile dentistry so mobile dentistry we know that every college will be having a mobile dental clinic they go to the rural areas and get the treatment done but we know that how is the actual scenario most of the college is dental ones not only working sometimes they don't go to very rural places and they go conveniently to few places with some NGOs which they have some connection with so it is all priorities so serving a community is the least priority in most of the cases and the research and other programs in dental public health so we know that research is very much happening in our country but the problem is research in our the public health sector or the dental public sector is very very at nascent stage even though we have a 300 odds dental colleges in India so research in other branches are happening but that is a clinical dentistry that is pertaining to that is focusing on an individual and this but public health is not a matter of concern in any of the research that is another problem we are facing so that is a few problems in the dental public health I'm not talking about dental health dental health is like a individual's health dental public health is a health of a public related to oral cavity or oral health so that part is over now we have some national programs this is a part of five year plans so till 2014 we had five year plans now it is replaced by NET IOC so we don't have a planning commission so Modi government removed the planning commission and five year plans and it got replaced by NET IOC NET IOC means National Institute of Transforming India so we have many programs preventive and promoting healthcare like mission Indra Dhanush programs or communicable disease like RNTCP, NAACP, pulse polio program, non communicable disease like NPC DCS, NPPCD I'm not explaining everything I just mentioning few names national nutrition program is there like mid-day male scheme program for strengthening like national program for healthcare of elderly miscellaneous programs so we have many programs but what we are trying to focusing on national programs associated with the dental public problems that is related to dental health so these are the general health problems but few problems are assessed or addressed by few of the national health programs and one of that program is national tobacco control program RNTCP and we had a COTPA Act 2003 that we had discussed in our epidemiology of oral cancer in detail so you can have a look on that video then we have a cigarette act 1975 we have national oral health program mid-day male program and few other programs like flu roses program so what is national tobacco control program this is important this tobacco control program I mentioned it very clearly in that video anyway tobacco is responsible for mainly cancer so cigarette act was passed in 1975 then 2003 this COTPA Act later government of India piloted a national tobacco control program in 2007 and 2008 so program is under implementation in 21 out of 35 total monitored recent states so countries has witnessed a community level initiatives for tobacco control there is a positive side of this tobacco control program so Sikkim was the first state in country to be declared smoke free in 2010 and Chandigarh was the first city to declare smoke in 2007 this is a state and this is city so we have some national oral health program that is NOHP which was drafted in 1984 we don't have still a oral health policy we have national health policy 1983 and 2000 we have two different policies but we don't have a national oral health policy national oral health policy which was drafted in 1984 put forward some formulations some resolutions so after 1984 there were two national workshops held at Tilley and Mysore during 1991 and 94 respectively so after that both conference of central council of health and family welfare in October 1995 formulated a policy so it is the same time when WHO had given importance to dental health by selecting the theme oral health for healthy life for global health for the year 1994 that was only one year where oral health was given as world health theme so let's see what were the oral health policy drafts resolutions so there were 10 resolutions these are not very much important so we can just have a look on this the first one was there is a urgent need on oral health policy for the nation so we need to prevent curative educational oral health care program integrated into existing system a post of full-time dental advisor should be appointed at DGHS then prevent the rising trends of dental diseases and oral cancer oral health services be introduced from the village level onwards and accordingly as a pilot project which is launched by ministry of health and family welfare during 1995 and 96 in five districts then council further resolves the legislative measures to adopt to reduce the dental carries by wrapping up the sweets with quads such as too much eating sweets may lead to decay of tooth similar measures also pull for tobacco and pan masala related products so 23 states and out of 29 it's already banned this good girl and 11 states banned smokeless tobacco then the council recommend a national oral health care program training center the council also resolves that all district hospitals and community health centers have a dental clinic and all dental college colleges should have courses on dental hygienist and dental technician and further resolves that the pilot project may be extended to all the states at the rate of one district in every state so these were the resolutions not the plans these resolutions many were not reached beyond the paper so few of them were taken up into consideration but many of the projects or the resolutions were not been implemented so what happened after that so the national oral health policy oral health care program has been launched by pilot project by state that's just we discussed then health programs are giving negligence importance to oral health model for infant and child oral health promotion so that was proposed by javdecker in 2013 and oral health policy phase one for karnataka so those two were no recent development then world health organization and government of india was held a workshop to expand the role of dental frozen and now that is national oral health mission so current oral health programs not much oral health programs is running in india though one of the very few is mild train which actually started in new york uh so every year 35 000 children in india are born with cleft palate or the cleft clip so these are corrected by smile train which is a train with hospital facility under totally free so 2000 smile train has sponsored over 45 450 000 surgery across india but there are still estimated 10 lakh untreated cases of cleft clip so that were the few programs one of the very few programs which is happening on the oral health side so we were discussing dental public health programs my dental public health problems then national health programs and the few programs associated with oral health so this was a essay asked once what are the national health problems or national health programs associated with oral health and what are the dental public health problems so dental public health problems is different like what is a public health sector is facing related to oral health and this is different like tobacco program and other programs it is not very interesting topic but a question I have asked so I kept this few articles points here so you can refer the points and make note of it and write it for an essay or short note it won't be asked for short note mostly it will be a 10 more or 14 more question so thank you

Anyone's welcome, all our questions are welcome. So with that, we can go ahead and get started. Thanks for those of you who chatted in. We've got tons of different types of companies I see already. So really great to hear from you all. All right, so the way that this webinar works is you can use the Q&A tool. So we're not gonna use the chat that we use just to get to know each other, but we're gonna use the Q&A. You can pop your questions in that Q&A section now or at any time during the webinar. Tori is gonna be scrolling through those questions, grabbing as many as he can to ask out loud. I am going to be sharing my screen and sharing with you the answers to your questions with a visual demo of my actual When I Work account. And Tori also might be typing some answers to you all that we might not be able to get to live with me talking through it, but we will try to get to them all. But again, if your question doesn't get answered, we'll go over some ways that you can get in contact with us after as well. So with that, I am going to share my When I Work screen. All right, so right now you are just looking at my When I Work account. I am logged in as the admin or the main kind of user or administrator of this account. I am logged in as the admin. So I do have all the access to create schedules, make shifts, publish out the schedule, change any settings, add in any employee information, and access my account and billing page to add in any billing information or change my plan. The top menu bar here is the main kind of navigational center for When I Work. It'll help you navigate to all the different products that we offer. So that's the scheduler where you create shifts. The attendance tool that if you choose to use, your employees can clock in and out and you can review their time sheets. Work chat are in-app messaging system. And then on the right-hand side here is where you'll find your settings, your shift and open shift requests and time off requests. And the shopfront icon, which will allow you to enter information into your account like employees, positions, create shift templates, things like that. So that was just a quick rundown of what you're seeing on the screen right now if you're totally new, but I'll stop now and wait for our first question. We have a great one starting out. So this is from a staffing agency that like staffs like nurses and stuff for different hospitals like in their region. And they're just kind of wondering just different ways to like designate locations for shifts and just kind of how to organize in kind of a multi-location business organization and how that can work and when I work. Great question. And we see a ton of staffing agencies using when I work and I've seen different setups depending on kind of the uniqueness of your business. So the first way that I've seen some staffing agency designate the different locations. So of course you have a pool of employees and you are sending them out to different locations. So the first way that I've seen this set up is using multiple schedules. This is essentially creating a schedule for the different locations that you're sending your employees to. So you might have hospital one, clinic one, hospital two, whatever. And this way you can kind of toggle between the different locations that you're sending your staff out to. This works really well if you have just a couple, I would say just a couple of locations that you are working for. So maybe this is five different hospitals and you only ever have those five different hospitals that you're kind of catering to. And that way you won't have just a ginormous list of schedules that you're sending your employees out to. So I would say if you have kind of a very static and low number of locations that you're sending your employees out to, I would use the multiple shifts tool and just toggle between the different locations, set shifts for those different locations. If you have employees that are able and eligible to work at more than one location, like here I have a couple of employees that are on both of my locations right now, you'll always see if they have a shift at the other locations so you don't double book them if they're working at hospital one, they won't be booked at that time at a different clinic. The second way that you could set up different locations for your staffing agency would be to use job sites. So job sites is essentially just an assignment that you add on to a shift. And it will tell your employee and show you on the schedule where the shifts are taking place. So for example, this shift right here, 7 a.m to 2 p.m, you can see it's at location one. So that could be hospital A, hospital one, whichever client it is. I'm gonna pop open the shift so you can just see the anatomy of a shift and what all goes into a shift and when I work it's time, the position. So maybe it's nurse, nursing assistant, things like that, tech. And then you can add that job site in here. So you can see it really is just that assignment that you add into one singular shift. This works really well if you have a couple more locations that you're sending your employees to that maybe change a lot. So that way you'll have it all on one schedule but you'll be able to see the locations that the shifts are on. If you do have a ton of employees, a ton of locations and you're using job sites, it might feel overwhelming but make sure to always remember that you can use the job site filter when you are working off of your schedule. So if you just pop that down, you can see all of the different job sites that you have scheduled on your schedule right now. I only have one but this way you can filter out a location if you don't wanna see that location. You can just look at one location at a time just to see your coverage, just to see which employees are where and this is really gonna help you maintain that coverage and your understanding of what's going on on your schedule. You can create job sites or schedules from the shopfront icon. So schedules is where you can add in more multiple schedules and this is where you can add in job sites as well. So again, either using multiple schedules or job sites just kind of depending on how many job sites you want or just what makes more sense to your own brain and your own process. Excellent, yes, we get as the onboarding team, we get these questions a lot about shift locations and multiple sites. So I like that that was one of the first questions that came in here. So we could introduce them to those options as well. So we have questions rolling in right now. So we have a couple on and I'm gonna try to phrase this in a way so you don't get lost in the question because it's kind of a two-parter. But like there's just people that are saying, like, hey, we have a pretty set schedule. Is there a way to just quickly get all those shifts in there so that we don't have to create individual ones? And then there's also somebody that's asking, is there a way to like bulk add shifts for multiple people without individually adding shifts? So I feel like that's just both good questions for us to highlight the shortcut options and the scheduling options that can save people time. Definitely, I love talking about our shortcuts because we do have so many. And that's what we're really good at when I work. We're great at making scheduling easy and making scheduling fast for your team. We know that you've got so much other stuff that you could be doing and scheduling is not something you wanna spend your weekend doing. So I'm gonna start with a couple of really easy shortcuts that kind of are hidden but are so important when creating your schedule. So the first one I wanna talk about is the copy tool. Actually, the first one I'm gonna talk about is the shift template tool and then I'll talk about the copy tool. So if you do have shifts that get worked often and you don't wanna be creating a custom new shift every single time you create a shift, definitely make shift templates. So when you're creating a shift, you're just gonna hover into the cell that corresponds with a day and an employee. You'll click into that cell and instead of making a custom shift from there, you can just choose one of your pre-made shift templates. You can create your shift templates again from this shopfront icon clicking into shift templates. So once you've created your shift templates, you can go into the scheduler and really easily just click and add in a shift template. If your employee works that every day or every other day in your week, you can use the copy tool. So that is command, click on the shift and then drag and drop. So you can see how really easily and really fast I just created an entire week of Chandler's shifts for the breeze dive. That's just what he works every day. Just quickly adding in those works really well. If you wanna- Wait, I thought, hold on, hold on. I thought we didn't know what Chandler did for work and that was like a running joke in all ten seasons. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Off topic. Yeah, little does anyone know that he's actually a barista at Sunfield Park. No, that's funny. But yeah, so he is working the barista shift for this week. If you wanna make any changes, you can always move a shift by really simply just dragging and dropping that shift into an eligible employee. And they're eligible by things like the position that they're tagged to and the additional sub tags that they're assigned to within their employee profile and that are assigned to the shifts. What other? Okay, I have so many in my head and I only wanna keep it kind of short to show the good, the really good shortcuts. So I'm gonna go into the next week to show the wrench icon shortcuts. So I'm just hovering into the next week and I'm gonna use this wrench icon to show what you can do. If you have the next week and you just want to add in the same week of shifts that you already made because your employees just work the same shifts week to week or every other week, you can use the wrench icon here and copy the previous week of shifts over into the next week that you're in. So I'm just gonna allow conflicts because there's no other shifts in here. And I quickly just copied over all of those shifts that I had made for the last week. You can do this individually by employee too. So maybe not everybody shifts are the same but Monica likes things to be very routine. So I just copy Monica shifts. That would just copy all of Monica shifts but not all of the other employee shifts. There's two more things that I wanna highlight. The first one is the schedule template tool. So just like how you can create and save and reuse shift templates, just like here, you can do the same thing for schedules. So say this schedule was perfect and I want to load that into the next week or every other week, create a rotation out of it. You can kind of essentially snapshot what you're seeing on your screen and then save it to load in whenever else you might need it. So using again the handy wrench icon, you would save whatever's on your screen as a new template, give it a name, maybe a description and save. Then within the next week, you can use the wrench icon again or any other week that you're in and load in a template. So I've loaded in a ton of templates. Maybe it's a rotation or maybe it's a specific position schedule and you can layer templates if you also want or you can just make a template for your whole entire schedule. I'm gonna load in my auto schedule template. Auto assign is actually a better word for it. So the next thing I wanna cover and the last things we get to other questions is our auto assign tool. So this tool essentially allows you to push out all of your open shifts to your employees depending on their positions, their tags, their time off, their availability, things like that. So you can build out all of the coverage that you know you need for your business. You can save that as a template like I did so you can load it into any week and then you can push out those shifts automatically to your employees without assigning them out individually or dragging them into the employees. This will just do all the work for you. So open shifts, for those of you who don't know are unassigned shifts. So they are shifts that you can either build out your coverage and click the auto assign to push those out or you can publish out open shifts to have your employees grab first come first serve. But right now we're just working on the auto assign. So by clicking auto assign here you'll get a couple of settings that you can configure. And the really important ones are things like max hours, unavailability and availability preferences, multiple shifts in a day, things like that. So once you configure the settings that you want to make sure everything is good you can run the auto assign and you see how that just pushed out all of the shifts that you need for your week without you having to do any assigning. So once I save the shifts anything that isn't able to be pushed out is gonna remain in open shifts for then you can either schedule that out or you can publish out those shifts. And again your employees will be able to grab them based on their eligibility. So those are the, I went over a lot but those are some of my favorite tips and tricks to make scheduling easier. Great, so we did have a question come in about open shifts or about leaving ships open and you addressed it there as you were explaining the auto assign tools but I just wanted to highlight that again. So if you choose to publish shifts that are present in that green row at the top that pushes that basically like announces to any qualified by position and eligible they don't have time off for another shift to, hey there's ships available and then those qualified and eligible people will be able to view those shifts or that shift and then add it to their personal schedule. So that is, we call that open shifts in when I work and so yes, you can have flexibility for scheduling and kind of let employees to a certain extent choose their schedule of the available shifts that you're creating for them in that way. So I just wanted to reiterate that that you kind of hit like two or three birds with one stone memory. So, cool. And then we have a question I haven't ever gotten in a webinar but it was, it's awesome. So it was the, I can't answer this one cause I don't think we need to show anything but it's what is the general lag time from making a change like to a schedule in the application to that showing like on other devices or for other people and the answer to that question is any changes that are made from one device by somebody will, are they kind of immediately take effect? The only caveat there is like, let's say you have two managers that are viewing the schedule at the same time from different locations or if one of them is working remotely if somebody makes a change to the schedule the other person wouldn't see it like immediately if they were in the scheduler at that time they would need to refresh the page and the same goes for like a mobile app. So if your employees viewing their schedule and then all of a sudden their manager 20 miles away publishes the schedule from their computer at work the employee would be notified of those shifts but they would just have to refresh the scheduler page or navigate away from the scheduler page and back to it on their mobile app to see those changes. So it is immediate, but there's just a slight like it won't like a new shift wouldn't just pop up for somebody in the scheduler if they were currently viewing it at that exact same time. That's a good point. And let's get. I just want to mention real quick that for employees when any changes are made to the schedule as long as they have their alert preferences set they'll also be getting alerts. So they don't have to just be sitting and refreshing their page either. They'll be getting emails and those like notifications that there's been a change as well. So we were really good at notifications and when I work and letting everyone know when a change actually has been made as well. All right. So we still have some handful of questions that I think are great and applicable to a lot of different industries and businesses and stuff. So we will get to those. But so the first one is about access levels. So can you give access to different people to be either a secondary person to approve and verify time or manage the schedule? And they're also asking is there a way to like have final approval by an administrator? So I think kind of outlining how like somebody else could make the schedule and then keep it unpublished for their admin or somebody else to review would be awesome. Definitely. So we do have a couple of different options for adding administrators or managers or supervisors within the system. So it's not all up to one person to be managing their when I work account. So I'm gonna hover into my employee list here just to show more about the options that we have. So we have three different access levels that are above the employee access level in when it works. So we have employee, which is just a regular access to see a schedule to clock in and out. And it's essentially do the things that employees do. Then we have the supervisor access level. So that's kind of one step above the employee. The supervisor access level allows that specific employee here, Ross is a supervisor. This allows the employee to manage the employees on the schedules that they are assigned to. So in using the supervisor access level, you can easily create teams or departments with one specific manager or supervisor attached to only the employees on that one schedule. Right above the supervisor access level, we have the manager access level. And that is just essentially a manager that can add shifts for, review time sheets for employees that are attacked to any schedule. So they aren't restricted like supervisors are just to just managing certain employees. They can manage all the employees in an account. What they can't do is they cannot access the account and billing page on your when I work account. So they won't be able to go into your account and billing page and make any changes to that. You can then add up to three admins on the account. The admin is kind of the highest access level. I am an admin on my account and I'm the only one, but you can add up to three. So here you could create admin, one of three seats assigned. The admin is basically the highest level. Again, you can do anything within your account, change any settings and access and change your account and billing settings. There are a couple of other very small details that you can configure to supervisors and managers, things like whether a supervisor can see wages for employees or if managers are able to manage the time sheets like closing out the pay periods. So all of that can be configured within your employee's settings. Generally under advanced details, but all of this information and all of the really small details of what each access level can do can be found within our help center. So if you wanna do a really deep dive kind of and see a chart of what each access level can do, we have the article for you. Just open up the need help tab and search access level or admin or manager, any keyword. And we do have an entire help article dedicated to helping you figure out which employees should have which access level because there are a couple of important details. Like I mentioned, can your supervisor see wages, things like that. And so definitely check out the help center if you wanna know a little bit more about that. And then I think the second part to the question was can maybe a manager or a supervisor like create the schedule or then wait for final approval for the schedule. And yes, if you want, your manager could log in just like I am now. They'll see pretty much the same view of when I work. They'll hop into the scheduler. They will create shifts. And when you create shifts, you can see that these shifts are dashed. And that means that it's kind of like a template or a work in process. It's an unpublished schedule. So right now they're just creating potential shifts, essentially. So once they do create out that potential schedule, they can hold off on publishing the schedule. And that way you or any other actual admin could come into the system log in and they'll see the same thing here. They'll see this unpublished schedule, review it, make any last minute changes and then they can go ahead and publish out those shifts on their end. And when you do publish out the shifts, you'll see the shifts turn from dashed to solid. So anytime you see a solid shift, you know it's published, your employees have been notified and it's kind of a final schedule. If a manager then logs in again, needs to make any changes, they can go ahead and oops, and then make a change. And then you'll see that any shift that's been changed. Again, is gonna have those lines through it. The publish a notified button will turn orange or yellow. And then the admin could then log in, see something's been changed, take a look and then publish those out. I officially use the word mustard for that color after being as confused as you for like a year at what it actually was. Colors. I've landed on mustard for these, there's some shifts that need to be published, color in that button. I like that. Yes, all right. So we do have a question coming up and because we have a few minutes left, we have a question about attendance time clocks that I definitely want us to address. I'm going to post in our chat in Zoom, a bunch of resources now to give everyone a chance to copy and paste those and almost all of these are, I mean, all of them are available after this. So if you don't get a chance to copy these, feel free to chat in with us and we can direct you to these links. So I'm publishing that in Zoom chat right now. So that is published. And then there's a question, another quick one that I think we can address and make sure that we get to as many as possible before we get to the attendance question and kind of the end. If we go over, if Marie and I get long winded at any point or fine go until for two or three minutes over to make sure that we get all the information that we want, if you've got somewhere to go, then feel free to check out and leave right at the end time here in two minutes. So the question I want to answer quickly for the attendance question is, is it possible to schedule like different kinds of employees like regular part-time and casual employees? And I feel like what Marie's covered has kind of not directly, but answered this because shift blocks and when I work or there's a start and end time and you assign them and as you assign them you see like the different hours under the names and the scheduler. So yes, when I work can be used to schedule as many employees as you want. You can use positions or tags if you want to make sure that other schedule managers know if this is a part-time employee. You can also add a max hours for each employee profile to help be used as a guideline and Marie can kind of highlight there as I'm talking. So yes, so there's a ton of different tools to help you differentiate the different types of employee you can schedule for to make sure that you're staying within the dedicated range. Like I know we have a lot of like community pools and lifeguards and stuff that use when I work. And so they have 14 and 15 year olds working and there's in certain places there's restrictions on how late they can work, how many hours a week, how many hours a day. So stuff like max hours and just setting those guidelines really helps a business make sure that they're not crossing any lines they don't wanna cross. And then, all right, so the attendance question. I am a consultant looking to have a system for a client who is looking for a tool where communication is cohesive and staff is able to clock in from anywhere. They also ask what devices are compatible with the remote clock in system, but I will, I'll post the minimum requirements link in the Zoom chat. So that, so you don't have to get to that and we don't have to go over a ton of time here. So looking for a system where communication is cohesive and staff is able to clock in from anywhere. Awesome, so we do have an attendance tool. This allows your employees to clock in and out. You can have your employees clock in and out three ways on when I work. The first way is to have employees clock in and out on a computer. So that would just be them logging in on their computer, hovering over the attendance tool, clicking clock in. And this can be done from a laptop. And then you can also lock a device as a terminal at your work location. But if you wanna have your employees clocking in and out anywhere, the best tool for you would probably be our mobile clock in tool. So you'll just turn on within your attendance settings here. You'll just turn on your mobile clock in. This will allow your employees to use their app to just click the big clock in button at the bottom of their screen. And that will automatically clock them in and they can do the same to clock out. And it's all from their own device. So this is really great if your employees are all remote or if they're on the go and they're all clocking in from different locations. This is really gonna work well because all they have to do is use their own device to do this. When they do clock in and out, all of their time punches will be populated onto their time sheet and they can add in like notes for you upon clock in or clock out. That really helps with communication and making sure that you know everything that happens on the shift or any other information that you might need to know. And then the other communication tool that really helps within when I work is WorkChat. Definitely use that if you wanna boost communication within your team, it's just our in-app messaging system that allows you to message with your employees. Again, if they are clocking in and out when they're remote, they can use the WorkChat tool and be communicating with you when they are remote. So that's another really, really good option for communication and boosting that communication with your team. But again, just use the mobile clock-in tool. It's gonna be at your best bet for those remote clock-ins. Did I hit everything, Tori? I kinda just sped through that. Yes, I know we're a little bit of crunch time, but yeah, no, that was a good, again, 10,000 foot overview of it, but yeah, the short answer is communication tools is something when I work, it's a lot of value in, and yeah, our attendance thing can be configured in multiple different ways to hopefully fit the majority of businesses' needs. Yeah, we have a ton of different options and just check out by hovering over the gear icon, check out your attendance settings, and this is gonna give you kind of an overview basically of everything that has to do with the attendance tool and all the different tools that you can configure, that's where you can configure mobile clock-in, your personal computer clock-in, if you wanna restrict where your employees are clocking in, that's where you can do that as well, or even restricting when your employees clock in, we have a ton of different options. All right, so hopefully we went over most of the questions, but I'm gonna go over a couple of different resources that we have and then our plan options. I'm just gonna quickly swap my screen. Again, if you do have to be going, no worries at all, but here we go. Can you see my screen, Tori? Yeah, awesome. All right, so we do have a small business scheduling plan that's gonna include all of the information that we talked about today. So that's up to 100 users. If you have more than 100 users, get in contact with us and we'll get you in the right direction. But the small business scheduling plan is basically the main plan that we offer, and it's gonna include all the scheduling and communication tools we talked about today. If you need any attendance add-on and functionality that comes with the attendance add-on, that's gonna include things like time sheets, that mobile clock-in, and all that time sheet information that we kind of went over just now right at the end. So if you need both, you'll just be small business scheduling plus attendance. If you just need scheduling, you'll just be the small business scheduling plan. Super easy, and we've made it just super easy for you to figure out what plan you're on and also to actually get on a plan. To get on a plan, you'll just visit your account and billing page when you log into your account. You'll click upgrade my account and then you'll configure which plans you want and which billing frequency you want. We have monthly or annual options. And then you'll choose your amount of users, bundling groups of five. You'll see your total here and then you'll be able to purchase. This is all done from within your account, so you don't have to get in contact with anyone if everything looks good on your end. You can just do this all on your own. But of course, if you have any questions as you get started, you can feel free to get in contact with us. Tori actually, again, did send out all of our resources into the chat so you can use those links, copy them to your notes. And that will include all the information you need to get started. I wanna highlight that you can get in contact with us from within your account using the chat bubble on the lower right hand side or via email at getting started at wheniwork.com. And we're here to help. Any questions that you have, don't be shy. We are here to help. And if you need any additional self-help resources, check out our help center. The link is in there as well. That's our help center where you can search for any articles and our education center, which includes our full comprehensive training videos. So take a look at those. Those are gonna be super, super helpful for you all. But with that, that's a wrap. Tori, do you have anything else that you wanna add? No, not at this time. Just like I was very, like I had questions that come in are always good, but like the amount and the types of questions we got today were just excellent. They were great questions, really helped guide this. And I apologize for us going a little bit late, but there was just a lot to cover because of the great questions. So just, I appreciate everybody registering, joining, showing up and I look forward to any interactions our team get to have with you guys as you learn, trying to set up your accounts. Awesome. Thanks you all for joining us today, taking the time out of your day. And yeah, again, contact with us if you need any other help. Bye everyone.

Welgo yn y toff ETV, mae'r three things, Everton Nill, Manchester United Three, y Gwladyswn Parc, very, very disappointing evening at Gwladyswn Parc, the Blues, very poor performance second half. First half, they should have gone in ahead, there's no doubt about that wasted opportunity. A tale of two halves, the second half was unacceptable for me in terms of, we just ran out of ideas very, very early on in that second half and we just let the game peter out, but more on that in a minute. First thing I want to talk about is the 10 points. I still struggle to understand where the Premier League got the 10 points from and you see today the league table now, we should have been looking at United and thinking we're not that far behind them. OK, the result might have still been the same, we wasted opportunities on the day and they took theirs clinically, but where we are just creating extra pressure that the Premier League have decided to place on us, it's a financial breach, it says nowhere in the Premier League handbook does it say that PSR relates to sport and sanctions, which is what they've done and I guess that is the argument that the evidence lawyers will certainly be making to the Premier League or the commission and we have to hope that they turn in 10 out of 10 performances in that commission and get this reduced because it will create a pressure that wasn't there. We've got into some good form, albeit we've been crap at home, we still are, that's the fifth home defeat already this season in seven games, it's unacceptable for me to lose that many home games from that, but that's where we are. But we got into a decent run of form particularly away and we were solid, we were on 14 points, we were right in the middle looking at teams above us, nowhere near any kind of threat of relegation. Now I still think this don't get me wrong, this result doesn't really change it, but it just puts us into a again into that mindset of fourth bottom is where we have to aim and that can't be the thing that becomes our target, it's really really poor, but this 10 points does have to be questioned, there's been so much stuff coming out about how they've got it, why it's unacceptable, Martin Samuel has done a piece last night on it and the appeal for me, this commission has to be done as quickly as possible. I mean for sure on that in the players they've got to just get on with it, it's not going to be done before Christmas so they're going to have to just get on with it anyway and for them to take it game by game, play for the points game by game so I'm sure that's what he'll be reiterating to the players, but psychologically being a team that's halfway up seeing how high can you get to being a team that is in the bottom three and for a little bit of yesterday we were bottom of the league, when Burnley were winning, so being a team in the bottom three creator does put a pressure on games and I don't think they deserve that, I really don't, certainly not the amount of points anyway, so hopefully they see sense this commission and look at everything and it gets reduced and certainly makes evidence position healthier. Second thing I want to talk about is our home form which is like I've just said, it's unacceptable, one win, one draw and five home defeats from seven Premier League games, that's abysmal as far as I'm concerned and it needs shorting out and we need a way of playing, I think that's the biggest thing. That aside, almost like a side issue, we can't continue to miss guilted chances which we've seen, the only team that does miss as many as we, it's unbelievable the amount of chances we miss, goalie laying on the floor and we hit a straight arm, it's unbelievable, we can't put the ball on in the net from a yard out, it's absolutely criminal but we also have to come up with a way of playing a home net. That second half, just someone said by me, it was just the same as looting and it was, we didn't seem to have any idea what we were doing and that wasn't because Manchester United were brilliant and we just couldn't get into it, we for me, Everton, and I think the managers is on this as well, played the badge today rather than the actual team in front of them. They played the club, it's Manchester United and we know they've got superb individuals, Bruno Fernandez, Marcus Rashford, brilliant, you know, Garnattos, because goal of the season, it was a worthy but as a team, I don't think they're convincing, I think a lot of United fans would say that to you but we just seem to have no way or no energy levels to be able to get any head of steam up and every, like nearly every other pass we've seen to play backwards, which I just don't get, I don't get, Dwight McNeill is supposed to be an attack on winger, yet he wants to pass the ball back at every opportunity and when we saw him in a good run of form after Christmas last year, a how, by the way, he gets whatever Christmas presents he got last year and has that second half of the season like he did last year, but at the moment he looks a shell of himself, get it and just want to go the other way and pass it back and yet we need him getting us on the front foot, putting cross after crossing for Dominic Alvertloon. Jack Harrison needs an overlap and fullback, particularly at home, we saw near the end when Nathan Patterson come on, we got in a few times, OK, fine a ball wasn't good enough or whatever, but it opened it up a little bit for Jack Harrison. That's what did the changes that we have to make, we have to come up with the style of play, we have to stick to it, it has to be more attacking, it doesn't matter whether you're playing a team of Manchester United's quality or whether you're playing Sheffield United at home and they've got a low block and 10 men behind a ball, you have to have a way of playing. I think a way, we've got it, I think we're fine away from home, I think we know what we're doing, the owners isn't on us, we knock it around, we sit and we counter attack and we're good at it, but that goal doesn't seem to work and that second half we just didn't look like we had a clue what we were doing other than hopeful punch in the field. Now OK, if you're doing that then consistently do it and get runners behind them because he wins a lot in the air anyway and I don't think you had a particularly good game today by the way but we've got to come up with a way of playing a goal and get it right because like I say away from home we're fine, I think we're fine, but at home we are so hit and miss and that's the worry because your home form is what normally keeps you out of trouble and we need it more than ever now, don't we, with the position we're in. Let's finish on a positive with the third one and the positive is seeing Sheaimers-Goldman back in the squad today. You know he's obviously played 90 minutes in midweek for the under 21 side against Athletic Club and it's good that he's worked his way back. The first squad he's been in isn't it since Leicester back in May so that's a big thing, I think his character getting him back and it wouldn't surprise me if he replaced Ashley Young next week of Forrest rather than it be Patterson. I personally would have Patterson in and I'd just see him sort of a blind spot for Ashley Young at the moment but it's great to see Sheaimers, we need his enthusiasm back, we need his captain, the voice back and he's still a good defender, we need that. I think a way, we're okay with a more defensive fullback and that can be Sheaimers, but I think it's good that we have got to have someone who overlaps Jack Patterson and that is where I'd like to see Patterson in or even Sheaimers doing an hour and then replacing him with Patterson or something like that. If Young's going to play there then he's got to put nearly 90 minutes basically into 60 minutes and be on the overlap all the time because he did put one great ball in Ashley Young in the first half today and Dominic Alvelyw should have hit the target with and he didn't. He was too deliberate with it and it went over a bar and it took a bit off for me to score it. We haven't done that enough. That goes into my last point find in that way but I think Sheaimers can give us that little bit of overlap and play from the fullback position but it's brilliant to see him on the bench today and I guess the other positives of it are Chimity don't know right when he comes off last this shot and Branthwaite another excellent performance from him to the good performance was an excellent but a good performance from him. There's three positives to finish with let me know what you think in the comments section below. Good video, thumbs up, subscribe. If you haven't, enjoy the rest of your weekend. If you can't, if you're the night of fan, I'm sure you will. But if you're a blue nose, enjoy. See you later.

The consumer electronics industry has, like many speciality industries, peculiar demands and behaviours where rationale makes place for emotion. The question is, where does rationale moors into emotion? A few years ago, on a high-end show, I spoke to a man that confessed his guilty pleasure. He loved watching the large blue power meters on his advanced acoustic power amplifier. These meters made him decide to buy that amp. Why an idiot would you say? Actually, I wouldn't. He was in touch with his desires, but a good sounding amp that, as a bonus, offered him a nice viewing experience. I consider that a rational control over irrational desires. Manufacturers of audio gear have learned that the looks of gear might be just as important or even more important than the sound. The looks tell the buyer how to weigh the product. A Raspberry Pi with headboard in an acrylic housing says, I'm cleverer than most for I get great sound for little money. On the other side of the spectrum, a massive shiny machined aluminium housing for a CD player says, I'm very well built, so I sound very good, and that's why I'm not cheap. Tube amplifiers nowadays have lats in the tube sockets to make sure the tubes show sufficient light to confirm it's a tube amp. And so on. It's not only the looks, there also is the feels. A flimsy volume control degrades the user experience, even if it has conductive plastic resistor tracks. While a solid feeling, clicking volume control gives confidence, even if it has a poor carbon resistor track. So manufacturers spend a lot of money on giving a product the right look and feel and have it promoted accordingly. Depending on the product there can be a lot of money being involved and that is of course calculated into the selling price. Don't blame the manufacturer for that. He is only anticipating on our behaviour. Every industry gets the geeks it deserve. So it's our fault now. Yes, not that we can help it. It's just how we function. It has made traditional mid-class brands very weak, leaving us mainly boutique brands and mass market brands. The boutique market needs a completely different approach than the mass market. The boutique market communicates user experience more while the mass market, at least in the audio realm, tries to convince you of the quality of their products by numbers. Like it has the PCM1234 DAC chip you also find in equipment costing a 10 fold. It does 384 kHz in 32 bits. It delivers 2 x 200 watts in 8 ohms and so on. I have frequently explained that using a given DAC chip does not guarantee a given sound quality, like mounting wider tires under a Kia Picanto does not make it a gold GTI. Nothing wrong with a Kia Picanto by the way, it's just not a golf GTI and it can't be for the money. Like 384 kHz capability doesn't make a cheap DAC sound as good as a better, more expensive DAC. So what to think of music files at a higher sampling frequency? The choice of titles in high definition music is very limited. There is some choice at 88.496 kHz and even lower choice at 176.4192 kHz. Even higher sampling rates are available but only as downloads from webshops like nativdsd.com where many labels offer their albums. But it is mainly classical, some folk, some blues and some world music and although I personally love these genres, they represent only a small portion of the music market. Music that hit the charts is normally enjoyed in MP3 or perhaps in CD quality, while only a limited number of albums come available in 96 kHz in streaming services like Kuboos and Tidal, the latter only in MQA formats and in download stores where you can choose from stereo or multichannel in both HDPCM and DSD. And you do need hardware that is capable of playing these files properly. Also in the hardware limitations can be found. When we compare 44.1 kHz 16 bit files to 352.8 kHz 24 bit files, we see a bitrate during playback that is 12 times as high. 384.24 is even 13.1 times higher. I always thought that these higher bitrates would not cause any problem for asynchronous USB for that can handle far higher bitrates. But the men who developed asynchronous USB, Gordon Rankin, made clear in several interviews with colleagues of mine that his USB protocol for audio does not guarantee ever free data transport and that the number of errors increase with the bitrate. He also stated that using his protocol means that errors are going to be interpolated in the DAC and thus not recent or error corrected. And that in his experience Windows computers overuse the generate 12% more hard errors in digital audio bit streams than Apple computers. Furthermore he advises to avoid using a USB drive storing your music files on the same USB channel as the DAC is. You rather use a drive on eSATA, Thunderbolt or Firewire or make sure your computer has two USB channels and connect it to the channel not used for the DAC. Nor should you place music files on the same drive as your operating system is on, which means the OS uses quite some bandwidth for administrative and control tasks. That might obstruct music streaming a bit, diminishing the sound quality. What can I say, Rankin has the equipment to measure it, he has developed a protocol and has implemented it for several manufacturers. Still manufacturers have conflicting opinions. Orelik, the highly respected manufacturer of streamers and DACs, advises you to use SSDs for music storage while Melco, well respected manufacturer of music servers and sister company of network specialist Buffalo Inc. clearly states that normal SSDs are more noisy than spinning hard disks and you better use these. If you really want to use SSDs you should use special low noise types. What we do know is that more bandwidth due to higher sampling rates will at least frequently generate more noise. Firstly, tone down the natural desire for higher figures and use rationale. A 99 euro DAC can't have a very good clock oscillator for that doesn't fit the budget. These oscillators vary in wholesale price from a few dollars for the poor ones to over 50 dollars for the best ones and it's clear that the latter is not fitted. The same goes for speed-event USB receiver chips, the resistors, the capacitors and the housing. These DACs often are no more than a simple design based on the application note of the DAC chip manufacturer. They work properly but sound ways don't expect more than there is to expect from a 99 euro DAC. By the way, if such a DAC pleases you, please enjoy it, just don't say it's the best DAC in the world. Playing high resolution files over it might sound somewhat better than the CD quality files, mainly because the reconstruction filter has to work less hard. But it might also sound less because of all the jitter that occurs due to the components limitations. I would not take claims of 384 kHz capability seriously. Sure, it will play 384 kHz files, but does it bring better sound quality? From a few hundred euros onward I would expect to have benefit from high sampling rate for then the components can be of decent quality. The circuits will be better so it's fair to expect lower jitter. Then the advantage of milder reconstruction filters for the high res files pays off. This is also where MQA brings clear benefits, having lower bit weights and better reconstruction filters. Funny enough, DACs costing a few thousand euros benefit less from high res and MQA for components cost, circuit design time and circuit board design time can be higher. Good designs will have less problems reading in data from the digital source, might have better, sometimes proprietary reconstruction filters and have far better power supply. In general having better specifications does not guarantee better sound quality. Marketers know we humans like guarantees and therefore like you to think that better specifications lead to better products. Then engineers are summoned to, for instance, further lower figures by overall feedback loops in amps. And that works like a charm as long as you don't judge the sound quality. But you can only really judge that when you have bought the product. Also do realize that low priced products are low priced because they are not worth more money. When in the 60s Japanese cars came to Europe they didn't drive as well as European cars but they came standard with a stereo radio while it was optional on European brands. By the time Japanese cars were as good as European cars, they were priced equally. The same thing happened with South Korean cars and will happen with Chinese cars. This also goes for electronics you now can get cheaply from China. Although there is one clear difference. Cars are sold by local dealers while cheap electronics is sold in webshops in Asia. Now don't get me wrong, the better ones will deliver what you have ordered. But what to do if a 200 euro product gets defective? Sennigbet to China with insurance would cost 62 euros in my country. Buying more expensive equipment is less of a problem. The Yulong D810 I have reviewed performs up to western standards and is also available through channels on your Kent continent. In Europe for instance through audiophonics.com or France. And spending 60 euros on shipping for a 1000 euro product is less of a problem of course. Playback of high resolution files is easily done. Making them sound better does require more than a very cheap DAC. You at least have to spend a few hundred euros on the DAC and a bit more on the rest of your stereo. Don't get blinded by the light. 384 kHz is very limited as far as software choice is concerned. There is a limited number of 96 and 192 kHz albums available, also from artists that hit the charts but often you pay a premium price. Buy one or two or take a short subscription to a high-res streaming service and compare to see if you hear a difference and if that difference is positive. If not, there are two ways to go. You simply stay at CD quality and enjoy the music, or you upgrade your stereo and then start using high-res music. And with that bombshell we got to the end of this video.

Bitcoin is NOT anonymous... yet

Bitcoin's creator designed it to be radically transparent, but the tools exist to make it as hard to trace as cash. ----- Full text and links: https://reason.com/video/2022/07/20/bitcoin-can-become-untraceable/ Bitcoin's true believers hold on through the wild price swings because they see enormous value in its properties as a currency with a fixed number of units that can't be inflated by a central bank and its "uncensorability," meaning no government or corporation can prevent one party from sending value to another no matter the reason. "We support [bitcoin] because we've seen a need from dissidents under authoritarian regimes for it," says Alex Gladstein, the chief strategy officer at the Human Rights Foundation and author of Check Your Financial Privilege: Inside the Global Bitcoin Revolution. Gladstein sees bitcoin as a tool of liberation—especially for people living under oppressive regimes around the globe. Activists, dissidents, and human rights workers often face prosecution by hostile regimes for receiving money from foreign sources. "They need to receive earnings from abroad in a way that can't be easily traced. That's impossible to do using the banking system, but it's quite possible to do with bitcoin, and we've seen it happen," says Gladstein. Bitcoin proved hard to stop in Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared a state of emergency after truckers parked their rigs outside the national capital and blocked a border bridge in protest of the government's vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 restrictions. His administration ordered financial institutions to freeze donations flowing into the truckers. But hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bitcoin still got through. As one bitcoin activist involved in the fundraiser told Reason in March: "Here's the thing with bitcoin versus [government-issued fiat money]: Fiat, you can confiscate first…with bitcoin, you have to go through the process of trying to confiscate funds before you actually take possession of them. And that asymmetry, it gives you the high ground as a defender." This man, who requested anonymity and who we'll refer to as "Caribou," was involved in organizing a bitcoin-based fundraiser called Honk Honk HODL, which raised more than $1 million USD worth of bitcoin on behalf of the truckers, about two-thirds of which got through to them. "[Bitcoin] actually makes the law have to work first before action is taken," says Gladstein, who pointed out that the Canadian government simply froze money raised by more traditional crowdfunding sites. "They were able to just freeze it with a phone call or a button click…But with bitcoin, they can't do that. So they have to literally file an injunction. They have to use police officers. They have to go to people's homes," says Gladstein. "It makes the government do the work…which is really important." Bitcoin may be as hard to stop as cash, but it has a major limitation that makes it far less useful to political dissidents: After the fact, it's not hard to uncover the real identity of someone who has sent or received bitcoin. But advocates say many of these problems are temporary and that many privacy tools already exist that would protect bitcoin users. They just need wider adoption. "I think [the trucker protest] woke people up to the idea of maybe we need to have some funds, at least, that the government can't just freeze, that we have access to no matter what," says Raw.  Integrated into Sparrow Wallet is PayNym, another tool for creating different payment addresses for every transaction, throwing off the sleuths. It's not always easy being a bitcoin HODLer. This past year, the world's most widely held cryptocurrency lost more than half its value, down 70 percent from its all-time high of about $69,000 USD. But the true believers say it's still early days and that eventually the price will catch up with the tremendous value that a fixed-supply, censorship-free, and, ultimately, private money brings to the world. "Why should the government be able to see everything that we do from a transactional point of view?" says Raw. "It's a very Orwellian world where all of that stuff is just available…So really, I'm just trying to put technology out there that allows people to transact in a private way."

Bitcoin's true believers have held on through its wild price swings because they see enormous value in its intrinsic properties, and now more than ever. While government money printing has created a global inflation crisis, Bitcoin has a fixed number of units that can't be increased. At a time when governments can block any transaction through the traditional banking system, Bitcoin is uncensurable, meaning no third party can prevent one person from sending value to another, no matter the reason. We support it because we've seen a need from dissidents under authoritarian regimes for it. Alex Gladstein is the chief strategy officer at the Human Rights Foundation and author of Check Your Financial Privilege. He sees Bitcoin as freedom money that's especially useful for people living in authoritarian states. So when we come from first principles here in the global struggle for human rights, the most important thing is that it's confiscation resistant and censorship resistant and parallel and can be done outside of the government's control. Bitcoin proved hard to stop in Canada. In February, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared a state of emergency after truckers parked their rigs outside the capital and blocked a border bridge in protest of the government's vaccine mandates. His administration ordered financial institutions to freeze donations flowing into the truckers, but hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoin still got through. This man who asked to go by caribou and requested that we not use his real name organized the fundraiser. Here's the thing with Bitcoin versus fiat. Fiat, you can confiscate first, and then with Bitcoin, you have to go through the process of trying to confiscate funds before you actually take possession of them. And that asymmetry, it gives you the high ground as a defender, and it actually makes the law have to work first before action is taken. When you had GoFundMe, they were able to just freeze it with a phone call or a button click or whatever, but with Bitcoin they can't do that, so they have to literally file an injunction, they have to use police officers, they have to go to people's homes. It makes the government do the work to go like docks or arrest people, which is really important. Today, it's nearly impossible to stop Bitcoin, but not to uncover the real identities of those using it after their funds are sent or received. That's because Bitcoin transactions are recorded to a public ledger called the blockchain. By design, all participants are pseudonymous, but law enforcement agencies and the private firms they contract with have proven highly skilled at connecting Bitcoin transactions to real people, which is why advocates say that the Bitcoin community should do all it can to make Bitcoin more private. When you're running a fundraiser in a country in the Middle East or in Russia, for example, and you're doing human rights work or environmental work or labor rights work, it's already a crime to receive maybe foreign funding, it's already a crime to do human rights work, etc. So a secondary and very important consideration is then privacy, like how can we make sure they don't know so we don't get arrested. The Canadian government froze hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoin intended for the truckers, and police raided the home of the campaign's lead fundraiser to confiscate his computer. But advocates say this problem is solvable. Various tools already exist that can help Bitcoiners stay anonymous, they just need to start using them. Gladstein says that the Canadian fundraiser could have set up what's called a BTC pay server, which generates a different address in the blockchain for every transaction. I think that today it's fair to say that privacy is much better achievable than it was perhaps five years ago. There's a lot of amazing tools in Bitcoin. You have to kind of know what you're doing. With the Canadian truckers, we see how governments can take away money, but more importantly than that, once money is in the hands of government, they have shown with 100% certainty that that monetary control will be abused. Craig Ra is the creator of a privacy-oriented application for storing and transacting Bitcoin called Sparrow Wallet. The Hong Kong Codal organizer told Reason that if he had to do it all over again, he would have used Sparrow Wallet. I think that that worked people out to the idea of maybe we need to have some funds at least that the government can't just freeze, that we have access to no matter what. Integrated into Sparrow Wallet is Paynim, another tool for creating different payment addresses for every transaction, throwing off the sleuths. Are these privacy-preserving tools illegal? Generally, they're not, just as long as there's no third-party service involved. In April, the Fed seized Bitcoins valued at $34 million from an individual in South Florida accused of selling stolen passwords, whom they caught by connecting his online profile to an address previously listed to receive shipments. The suspect was charged with money laundering for using a so-called mixing service that exchanges Bitcoin for other Bitcoin to throw off the trail. Using a custodial mixer is money laundering in the United States. You can't just send your Bitcoin to somebody as part of a business or as a client and have them send you new Bitcoin. It's like Alpha Bay, not legal. What is legally protected as open-source software and free speech is CoinJoin's, because they are merely their open-source code. There's no one taking control of your Bitcoin. It's a collaborative spend. That's completely legal here. CoinJoin's, which are built into Sparrow Wallet, are another technique for obfuscating the trail. They combine lots of Bitcoin and then break them back into pieces. So it's hard to figure out whose money is going where. I think the best analogy for it is like smelting gold. This Bitcoin developer who asked to be identified as Samurai is the creator of the Samurai Wallet, which created Paynims and a CoinJoin protocol called Whirlpool. You take your Bitcoin, you add it into Whirlpool, and Whirlpool smelts it into new pieces that are not associated to the original piece. How much of this is going to be kind of an arms race between you and the blockchain analysis type companies, where they're just going to change their heuristics and get more sophisticated in their analysis? Yeah, there's some of that. I think that we can move quicker. And we've proven that we can move quicker than the chain surveillance companies. What is the reason for that asymmetry? You're a small open source team and generally you can move quicker without the bureaucracy of a chain surveillance company. A front line in the developing Bitcoin privacy arms race is the Lightning Network, which is a decentralized payment network for Bitcoin. The Bitcoin network itself can never scale to the size of a Visa or Mastercard because every transaction needs to appear on the blockchain. And if there were too much data stored on this public ledger, it would become too unwieldy for users all around the world to maintain a constantly updated copy, which is what makes the network decentralized and thus highly resistant to government control in the first place. The Lightning Network was designed to extend Bitcoin's capacity almost infinitely and it's analogous to a bar tap in which lots of small purchases are added up and combined into one transaction at the end of the night. But it also enhances privacy because like with a coin join, chain analysis firms can't easily untangle what transactions were included in the bundle. You might have a cash app or Coinbase account or some sort of account that the government knows about and you have income coming in, but then you withdraw into the Lightning Network and you get that same degree of privacy, ditto with deposits. There are cryptocurrencies specifically designed to anonymize transactions such as Zcash and Monero, which use zero knowledge proof encryption, but RA and Samurai have focused their attention on Bitcoin because it has wider adoption, a larger network, and it's more decentralized. Monero is interesting from a privacy point of view but less interesting from a store of value point of view and really store of value I think is going to become the driving reason people turn to Bitcoin in the coming years. The people are using Bitcoin. Bitcoin is here. It has the longest amount of history and has the largest user base. So really what makes sense for us to just say, okay, all of you, you're screwed privacy wise, excuse me, that's not how it works. An unsolved problem is that all of these privacy preserving tools require that users maintain custody of their own Bitcoin, which requires some technical savvy. It's much easier to store your Bitcoin on an exchange like Coinbase, which requires you to upload an image of your driver's license to comply with a federal anti-money laundering regulation called Know Your Customer or KYC. Samurai isn't available for iPhones and Sparrow Wallet doesn't exist yet for mobile at all. Samurai says that using Bitcoin anonymously might be more difficult, but that it's the raison d'etre of a technology rooted in the privacy obsessed cipherpunk movement of the 1990s. That message has gotten diluted as the years have gone on, but at its root, it's a cipherpunk tool to route around the state, and it's only useful if we use it that way. Ra says that the biggest privacy boon for Bitcoin would be a protocol change built into the network itself that combines transactions automatically and affect making coin joins the default. It's one of those things that everyone in the privacy Bitcoin world really has their eye on. So that's for me the most important thing that I would hope for in terms of the future. Gladstein says that in a world where entire countries like Russia are being cut off from the global financial system, Bitcoin's privacy and uncensorability are more vital than ever before, and that privacy preserving tools can make Bitcoin more like cash. The ATM model, it gives people the option to have freedom of money. Yes, the government will know all the ins and outs of what the flows are coming in and out, but they won't know what you do with it when you leave. And that that allows us to preserve the privacy of cash, which I think is essential for democratic society. It's not always easy being a Bitcoin hodler. This past year, the world's most widely held cryptocurrency lost more than half its value down 70 percent from its all time high of about 69 thousand US dollars. But the true believers say it's still early days and that eventually the price will catch up with the tremendous value that a fixed supply, censorship free and ultimately private money brings to the world. Why should the government be able to see everything that we do from a transactional point of view? I mean, it's it's a very Orwellian world where, you know, all of that stuff is just available and furthermore, once it becomes available, it becomes easy to stop.

This is some DIY dyed trim that I made, and I don't remember what this one is dyed with. Did I make a note on here? Of course I did. Hey guys! So I got asked an interesting couple of questions recently which had to do with slow stitching and doing some sort of tutorial or series of tutorials about basic stitches and it's been brewing in the back of my mind since I first read the first comment, and I think we're going to do that. So for those that are new to my channel, welcome. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe. This is what I affectionately call my meditation journal. So I've done videos on this in the past, and if I can find them on my channel, if I haven't already created a playlist, I'll create one. I have no idea at the particular moment if I've actually done that or not, because God forbid I should remember anything five minutes after I do it. But anyway, hello stress. Welcome to Crazy Town. Anyway, so this is my meditation journal, and this is just a mixed media journal. So the cover is very mixed media. It's a fabric cover. I'll show you the pages in a minute, but it's a one-piece cover created with different kinds of fabric. Some painted, some cottons, some trims. I've also stapled pieces of paper on, some clear plastic that has some doodling on it. There's a brad here. There's a little bulldog clip. I do think there was another piece of plastic here that has broken or come off or something. I don't remember now. There's some collage on here, and it continues to the inside. The base for the cover is just a piece of what I call dead canvas. So a painting that I didn't work out that I didn't like that never sold. Maybe it got a hole in it or something else. I don't just throw them away or paint necessarily paint over them. I take them off the stretcher bars and do something like this with it. So once I got the cover made, I cut some mixed media paper just a little bit smaller than the cover, and I used a three-hole pamphlet stitch to attach it to the center of the cover, and there are some beads and things here on the spine. And I had this little book sitting in my stash for quite a while, and it was just kind of sitting there. I didn't know what I wanted to do with it, and then I started slow stitching. And slow stitching for those that aren't new to the term is just a new, more modern term for hand stitching. I'm not doing any of it by machine, just sitting and doing it by hand. It's a combination of basic hand sewing stitches and embroidery stitches. What I do in this book is never something that's intended to be washed or worn, so I can kind of do what I want with it. And what I do is I do my sewing on a piece of fabric loose from the book, and then once that piece is done, then I glue it into the book. And so I start with a piece of fabric that's just slightly smaller than the piece of paper, and once I get the composition sewn on the piece of fabric and finished, then I glue it into the book. I've already done quite a few pages in here, which you can see. Sometimes they're covered in lots of different things. Sometimes it's very basic. This is just basically one stitch, just basically running stitch woven into this thicker piece of fabric. Now this piece happened to be kind of a big piece because I didn't actually intend on necessarily putting it in here. It looks like I need to add a little bit more glue. I missed a corner, but yeah, but it actually, I really like it. It's very fuzzy. So I do, I add buttons sometimes, I add charms sometimes, but it's all just very basic stuff. Nothing too complicated. And again, there are videos on some of these pages. I don't think there's videos on all of them, but there's videos on some. So we are going to turn the book to a blank page. And I've already set some things up. So I've got a basic piece of muslin. We're going to zoom in just a little bit. There we go. So we've got a basic piece of muslin in the background. And then I sort of dry fit everything I wanted on there. I had this scrap piece of this gray and white dot fabric that I cut. It was already this shape and it actually was bigger than that. This is the piece that I cut off from like about here. So that's bigger than my base piece of fabric. So I needed to trim it a bit. I didn't alter the shape too much. I thought the shape was interesting. It just happened to be there. And I thought let's go with that. I have these pre-done little round shapes. I have hexagons. I have some squares. And I have some circles. These are an English paper piecing technique. Tula Pink I think here on YouTube has different ways of doing sort of England. There's a lot of videos on English paper piecing. But Tula Pink does them interestingly. She starts with a piece of cardstock in the shape that she wants to do. And then she uses a sewing basting glue to form the fabric to the cardstock and just push it down and then press it. And then once you have the shape, I'll show you what we do with it. But normally you would sew the shape. You would baste the shape with thread to the cardstock or near the cardstock to get the shape that you want. And then press it and then take the card out. But she uses this glue which actually I find works really well and it takes one step of stitching out of the process. So again I think we're going to use this and sort of tuck it behind the gray. I just dry fit what I wanted. This is some DIY dyed trim that I made and I don't remember. Probably coffee or something. There's no note because why would I leave myself a note? I cut three pieces. I think we're going to sew them here. This is making me crazy today. Here. Here. And then I usually always put words on my work. Whether it's a slow stitch project or it's a painting project or an art journaling project, 99% of my work has words on it somewhere. So I have some words. I've printed on fabric. There is a couple of different brands of fabric that's intended for your inkjet computer printer. And so I have some of that. I'll link the brand that I have in the video description. And I've printed a bunch of different single words and phrases onto the fabric and I have them all cut out into shapes like this. Little labels. And I have a bunch of them here on the table over that way off camera. I picked one that I think I want to put on here and I'm going to put it right about there. So I'm going to show you how I do that. I've picked some colors of thread that I think I want to use. Embroidery floss, I should say. I have a long needle with a large eye. I prefer a longer needle with a large eye. I have some glue stick. Now there is a basting glue stick that's intended for fabric sewers. Quilters use it all the time. By sew line, I have one. But Elmer's washable glue. It works just fine. It does the same exact thing and it's a little easier to find and probably a little cheaper. So we're going to use that. I've got some scissors. Beeswax. In case I find that some of my floss and or thread gets very tangly and knotty, I'm going to run it through some beeswax to calm it down a little bit. And then I usually have this on because I have this tendency to jab myself on the thumb while I'm sewing. And so I made a thumb guard because, yeah, that's kind of a thing. I'd rather not jab myself. Blood on the work is not a good thing. All right, so the first thing I'm going to do is get everything basted down where I want it. All right, so we are going to remove, well, first we're going to put these on because I need to see close up of what I'm doing. And then I'm just going to lift up some of this fabric on this circle a little bit around the edge enough that I can pull the card stock out. So this has been glued and pressed kind of a while ago. I didn't do this today. I did it a while ago. So once you pull the card stock out, you kind of push all the little sides back in. You can take it back to the ironing board and press it again if you want. I'm going to take my glue stick, put some glue, put this on first because I want to tuck it underneath. Okay, so see. And you could use pins. Of course you could use pins. I just find that using the glue stick is much easier. So I'm going to do the same thing with all my pieces. Now you could glue the circle down and then stitch it, then glue the gray down and then stitch it, then glue the trim down and stitch it. I tend to not work that way. The only one I'm not going to stick on right away is the words. But I will tell you this, that I didn't glue the gray fabric to the circle because I do want to do this, to stitch that down. Once it's all glued down, then we're going to start with our embroidery floss and put the words up aside. I have to decide what color I want to do that. My two ones that stand out to me are the green or this darker gray. I'm kind of feeling the green, so I think we're going to go with that. Now this is your standard six-thread embroidery floss. I'm going to split it into three strands and three. This is DMC color 3348 for those that want to know. Okay, so we're going to do three basic straight stitches here. All right, seed stitch, running stitch, back stitch. They're all straight stitches. Now, and just FYI, I don't know if I caught that on camera because I wasn't looking up. I tied a knot in the end of the thread and I just tie my knots this way. I know some people think it's like weird or magic or something. I don't know. I don't know. It's just how I've always done it was taught by my grandmother. Take the cut end of the thread, hold it between my thumb and finger, wrap the thread around until it meets, right, and then roll it until it wraps around itself and put my fingernail up here and pull and it makes a knot. I don't know. Do your knots your way. Be you. It's all right. All right, let's, we're going to need to zoom in some more. Okay, we're going to start with seed stitch. I'm going to, I am going to stick one pin here to hold this out of the way. It's again, it's basted in place but I just want to hold it out of the way. Let's see, make sure I'm on camera. Okay, so we're going to come up from the bottom and I'm going to come up slightly off of my circle. So seed stitch is just little, it's individual straight stitches but they're stitched down every which way and they're not in any particular pattern. So I'm going to keep my straight stitches to, I don't know, about a quarter of an inch and I'll do one and like that. So I'm going to, this is where my thread's coming out. I'm going to go in a different direction about a quarter of an inch away and go in and then come out about a quarter inch away from that. When I'm doing seed stitch I find it's helpful to make sure you're going in different directions to turn the work a little bit kind of constantly so then it's going to look like that. So I'm going to just tie it off in a knot. The back's not too bad but it's not super clean. So then that's attached. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. I'm going to put this extra floss back on the spool and let's start with our next color which I think is going to be this light gray. This is 3895 DMC floss and again I think we're going to go with three strands, pull three apart, split it in half. Again we're going to tie the knot, tie the knot so we have the loose end here. Wrap it around, roll it and pull. I don't know why people think that's crazy. Okay I'm going to start down here and I'm going to come up from the back and in this case we're going to do running stitch. So running stitch is a series of stitches in a row with spaces in between. I don't know if that's the proper definition but that's what I call it. Okay so we're going to do we're going to stick to like a quarter of an inch and go in and then go back out about a quarter of an inch away from that and then in and then out and then in and then just leave it at that. That's a running stitch. You can do it as big or as little as you want. It's often used in garment construction for basting. Okay then we're going to go a little bit of a way away from that first row and this time I'm going to start off with the gray dotted piece of fabric. I'm not going to even try to keep my rows steady straight and necessarily too even. If you want them to be precise you might want to go over your piece of fabric with a fabric marking pen something that is water soluble. You can just spray it down, mist it with a little bit of water afterwards and it'll disappear. Or use a patterned fabric that maybe has lines in it. I don't I never do that so that's just me. So again make sure we're in. Okay so I'm going to do this all the way across to here. I'm going to skip this part where I've put the trim. I'm going to do one or two rows in between each set of trim and then I'm going to do at least one row back over here. Alright so I'm going to do that and I will be right back. Okay about here is where I lost the audio so I don't know what I did but now we're going to do back stitch to attach the trim to our slow stitch piece and to do back stitch it's the same thing as a running stitch. Only you do one stitch at a time and you go back to the previous spot where you were coming out of the fabric to fill in the empty spot. So you see me coming up here and then going back and then when I come up again it's about a quarter of an inch away from where the thread is loose coming out of the fabric and then pulling tightly then going back to that hole and coming up again it's just going back going back and filling in the empty spot that would normally be a running stitch so you get one continuous line of thread. I'm going to leave this running for a little bit so hopefully you get it but you come up out of the fabric then you go back to the original spot prior fill in the hole yep and then come up a quarter of an inch away and you keep doing that and going back and filling in your holes do that along the whole way of all three of the trim pieces. So this is what it looks like so far we've got our straight stitches in the form of seed stitch here we've got running stitches here holding the gray and white dot fabric down we have back stitch holding the trim pieces down all straight stitches so now we're going to put our words on now again this is these are words printed on fabric I mean yeah printed on fabric fabric that's intended to go through your printer and the fabric is just a plain like muslin type cotton it's on a piece of sticky backing paper and so once I've printed it and cut it out I just kind of scratch the backing paper with a pin and that gives me a starting point of course I have like no fingernails to find the edge of the paper and separate it from the fabric now you don't really have to do this I've plenty of times just stitched this down with the backing paper intact I don't always do that but I do sometimes so once I have the backing paper off it's going to fray the edges a little bit so when if you do this when you cut them out from the backing fabric don't cut it too small and too close to the words because it will fray a bit so you don't want it to be too small it's better to have to go back and trim it later I'm not going to try to hem the edges I don't care if they do fray to a certain extent but I don't want it to completely unravel so we're going to get that onto our piece I'm going to again use some of the glue stick to baste it down now this glue stick of course as you can see is purple and I think the actual sew line sewing basting glue stick I think is blue they're both colored but it will as it dries it goes clear so don't worry about the purple if it shows okay I'm going to use the same off-white color that I used to stitch the trim down with come up from the back in one sort of in one corner again straight stitches right you can sew this down however you want but if you're practicing a certain kind of stitch then you probably want to have that in mind and challenge yourself to use just variations of that stitch on the piece that you're creating so I'm going to put two stitches at one end and two stitches at the other end and I think I'm going to leave it at that again this is never going to be washed or worn it's going to be glued down to the page so it's not going to be going anywhere I just kind of want to lightly tack it down now to glue these down I usually use either yes paste or tacky glue I don't want to get up and get the yes paste so we're going to use tacky glue and I just put some if it's super wrinkly I'll iron it but I don't I'm not feeling the need to do that um I will put some glue along the edge I wouldn't use anything too watery because it'll show through the fabric tacky glue is a little bit more watery than I usually like to use but it'll work don't use it I wouldn't use Elmer's or anything because at number one I don't think it will stick super well number two I think it's going to sew great through the fabric and we're going to just put it down and try to like eyeball it and center it on the page push it down and let it dry and there you have it another page in the meditation solicit meditation journal so give that a try and we'll be doing different pages like these maybe once a month to practice different stitches you guys if you have a particular stitch or or type of stitch that you would like to see done whether I'm familiar with doing it or not you can you know kind of challenge me if you will um leave it in the comments down below and let's see what we can do I'd love to see what you're working if you've decided to work in a book now Ann Brooke has a book series a slow stitch book series um where the whole book is made out of fabric and you work on the book when you're doing the stitching if I can find her very first video or if she's got a playlist I will link it down below if you want to not glue your pages in and you don't want to work in a paper book then I would really recommend um looking at her channel and looking at her book series and also just looking at her channel for inspiration and um ideas of what you can do with your slow stitching because her channel is very inspiring so that being said I hope you enjoyed this don't forget to like share and subscribe if you have questions comments or concerns please do leave them down below I do have Instagram to Facebook art groups and all of that kind of stuff including ways to support the free content here on YouTube and over in those Facebook art groups like patreon there's um lives in there once a week um along with downloads monthly and all that kind of stuff um I have an Etsy shop and uh PayPal tip jar and all that stuff so all of that is in my link tree list of links and or listed in the video description so check that a video description out for all of that stuff and if you have a favorite content creator um do check out their video description and see what if they have a way to support the free content or anything down there they might and if they do um I you know they would have probably appreciate the support if they don't ask them maybe it's for some reason just not listed so that's it please stay safe stay healthy stay creative please wear a mask and go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later bye guys

I'll take this opportunity on behalf of all Kenyans to send my heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those that we have lost to this pandemic. The life of every single Kenyan is precious. And I, together with millions of Kenyans, mourn the lost dreams that have been cut short so suddenly by this disease.

Disrupting Value Chains to Tap New Markets | Tony Kalm

http://www.weforum.org/

GI-_E_0_0QA

Three-quarters of the world's poorest people are hungry farmers unable to grow enough food to feed their families for the entire year. One acre fund changes that. We work in highly remote areas, providing a comprehensive, proven service bundle that doubles farm income and eradicates hunger. We're a non-profit that runs like a business. Farmers cover 75% of our field costs, 98% of our staff including our CEO live in rural areas, and we currently operate in East Africa in Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, and Tanzania. I'd like you to meet Getrud and her seven children. Getrud was one of our first customers in Western Kenya. She lives in a mud hut. She lacks access to water and electricity. And an astonishing percentage of the world's poorest people live in conditions exactly like this. With roughly an acre of land and nothing more than a simple hand hoe, she faces an extraordinary challenge of growing enough food to feed her entire family throughout the year. It's not working. Her family, like 50 million other families around the world, face an agonizing hunger season lasting up to six months when they will eat 40% less than normal. And the consequences are severe. One in ten does not reach the age of five. Those that do survive, 40% face stunting, mental, or physical as a result of a lifetime of insufficient food. This is clearly a system in need of change. It's also an extraordinary opportunity. Three quarters of the world's poorest people are farmers. And yet they are failing because they often use tools and techniques that date back to the Bronze Age. Simple tools and training can double farm income within six months. One acre fund service bundle is designed to meet all of the needs of the small holders. We provide access to credit, to good inputs like seed and fertilizer, to training and to storage and market facilitation. Our second innovation is to distribute all of those products and services to the last mile. We have found that unless we bring everything we do to within walking distance of the customers we exist to serve, those services will remain out of reach for the rural poor. As an organization, we also believe it's incredibly important to provide all of these services as a bundle. Seed and fertilizer in and of themselves can be harmful to farm income if used improperly. It's pointless to grow a surplus if there are no harvest markets. So what's really important is the whole bundle being provided together. As an organization, we measure success three ways. Scale, impact and sustainability. Scale, reach as many farmers as you can. Impact, make a real measurable difference in the life of every farmer you serve and cost-effectiveness. We're growing quickly. In 2006, we served 40 farm families. Today, we will reach 300,000 farm families with one and a half million children living in those families. By the end of the decade, we will directly serve more than one million farm families with five million children living in those families. For every single customer, doubling net profit means an end to extreme poverty, an end to the hunger season, and an unleashing of human potential. Families return their children to school, invest in livestock, diversify and eat different foods and improve their homes. We're just getting started even though we're off to a good start, but we're thinking about system change. And to change that system, to make credit, inputs, training and market access available to all takes a movement, and that's what we hope in part to stimulate. Even if our greatest growth aspirations are realized and we reach one million farm families by the end of the decade, that is still just scratching the surface of the global need. Some 50 million farm families, according to the World Bank and FAO, could benefit from these same products and services. So our call to action to the global community, to the public and private sector alike is to join us in driving a distribution revolution, to get lifesaving agricultural technologies into the hands of those who need them most. I believe this is the greatest humanitarian opportunity of our time. Thank you.

Welcome back to the channel now one of the biggest plugins that we use in what this is actually called wukamas and wukamas provides payments for all countries are globally but I was looking through the number of currencies that available in wukamas and I realized that we have over 180 currencies that are recognized by as legal tender but in wukamas we had far less than that available and I decided to check for let's say the first country that our state that would look at which is Abkazia which has a Russian rabo with RUB and when I quickly checked for this in my settings as I was installing or even trying to change the settings in the back end I realized that this is not available so how do you make this currency available for your wukamas sure if you are from Abkazia I'm going to show you how to do it in very simple steps in a few lines of code you should be able to do this even if you're not a programmer I would advise in most cases for you to do this in a plugin so you would go to your plugins folder your website and go into the plugins folder which is found in the wp content open up a new folder and inside that folder put in a new file that has a similar name to your plugin if you choose not to do a plugin you can just paste the code that we shall write and drop it inside your functions dot php that's usually part of your themes folder so if you go in your wp content and got themes you can choose your current theme and then just go into this file which is called functions the php and then at the end of the file just simply paste your code and it will run so let's jump into the code to see how that works I have dumped my plugin folder from here into my vs code editor I'm going to start up a plugin quickly and I have a little snippet to help me do this so we need to add the plugin name which will be our currencies of the world let's think that is so so we'll give it our author name our author uri add currencies of the world and then we shall have a version that's okay and then I'll just change the license to something like gpl2 and then we can just have this prefixed as our currencies of the world as that so we could have it my library but I'll just use that for now so this is the real meat of the problem so when you go into your editor to start adding code first of all you need to just add a filter a filter is basically a function hook in a wordpress that allows you to tap into a particular contents that's readily available and you just add your own or you remove what is already existing so kukamas has some filters itself for example this is our kukamas currencies which is the hook that we'll use and then we're going to add on our own function that I'll call take you press add world currencies so I'm going to get some little real estate here so I'll just minimize that and then I'll cut this put this back here so we get this what we have right now and then we'll run it into a function and the function will be that them and we'll open with Akali brackets so the next thing that we need to do here is this function it comes with a couple of arguments that are with it what are these we just add currencies dollar currencies in here and this is an argument we get so we'll have to return this at the end of the day so we add return and then currencies even without modifying it we need to return it at the end of the day so that we just pass what was originally there now this is the place where we add our currency of ab kaziya now we get our currencies right here and then we'll have square brackets and inside it we are going to add the small r i u b for the russian kopek this is the the iso code so we use the iso code and get the fractional unit so that's what we're going to use now we'll have the r i u b in there then we're going to say it is equal to then we use these underskores there are two underskores here that will help us translate our plugin into several languages of the world so we'll have this and then we'll just call this the ab kaziya kopek kopek that's what we'll have there and then we're going to bring in our text domain which we had here copy and paste it we need to add our semicolon at the end here so with this alone we've been able to add that currency inside our wukamas so what I'm going to do is come back to my plugin section here in the administration area of wordpress I'll come back to the plugins and then what I'm going to do is activate our currencies of the world plugin after activating this I'll give this a little reload and then I'm going to come here and as I search for ab kaziya you realize that we have that kopek here and even the symbol is available initially we didn't have it but now we have it as part of our currencies that are available so you can use this to to make available the currency you can use this to as you're making your own custom payment gateway this is one of those codes that you will need to make sure that your currency is available when we look at our currency it's now available but it has its own unique sign here that is being picked from the ara ubi this is a common currency because it's a russian currency so I'm going to try to assume if we had ara ubi as our currency here so I'll reload this here and then let's see how we add our ab kaziya and if we look at it you actually see that it is empty doesn't have a currency a symbol inside it now what I'm going to do is add a new function down here that will allow us to actually add our currency symbol there and it's very very simple so we essentially have another filter which is called a wukama's currency now this time it will be in singular and we'll add an underscore and call it for symbol so we're going to also add another extension to our new function and we'll call it a teki press add world currency symbol so I'll copy this come down here to function add it and then we'll open our brackets to work with this now this particular function has two arguments that do come with it so we have what we call the currency underscore symbol and then it's also going to come with the currency argument as well so we have two arguments coming in here so at the end of our function we are going to return the currency symbol we are going to use a switch statement which basically looks for the currency that we have passed in here singular currency and then after getting this currency we're going to do a check and we're going to say if the case for this currency if you remember we passed currencies in this function here and we had aru b as the identifier of our abcaziako kopek in here so we're going to use it here in our case and say if we are looking at that particular currency then what we're going to do is we're going to have the currency symbol we're going to have the currency symbol and we're going to say it's going to equal to ar if that's what we've chosen and we are going to actually break this so we'll add break at the end of the day so let me just push this under so since we are passing two arguments here I'm going to come back to this filter here and add that we have a priority of 10 and we're going to pass two arguments in here now when I save this come back to our kama settings we're going to come back and we'll see that our currency that we saved has a new ar currency symbol right here thank you for watching the video if you enjoyed it give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing because we'll have new and exciting snippets that you can use for your ukama store thank you for watching and goodbye

The Pacific Alliance - A dynamic new economic community

The Pacific Alliance of Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile represents a dynamic new force for growth and economic integration in Latin America, which is strongly oriented to Asia. The Hon Kelvin Thomson MP, as then Parliamentary Secretary for Trade, represented Australia at the Pacific Alliance Summit in May when Australia was admitted to the group as an observer. He discusses the relationship between Australia and the Pacific Alliance and the important role the Alliance will play as Australia steps up its engagement with Latin America.

Thanks John, and it's a pleasure to be here with John Richardson in my time as Parliamentary Secretary for Trade. I found John and the departmental office here in Victoria to be extremely helpful and I hold their work in the highest regard. I also want to acknowledge the ambassadors of the Pacific Alliance countries. I have spoken about this conference earlier this year in the ANU and I apologise to them that some of my remarks may be familiar. On the other hand I didn't get the opportunity to hear you when I was there because I had to leave for Parliament so I hope to make good in relation to that this morning. I also want to acknowledge Victor Perten who is the President of the Australian New Zealand-Mexico Chamber of Commerce. Victor and I were elected to the Victorian State Parliament on the same day way back in 1980, so we haven't had each other for a very long time. We both had more hair than we did, and there are all sorts of other things that have changed too, but we don't know into any detail. It was a privilege to be the Australian Government's representative to the Pacific Alliance summit in May in Carly in Columbia. It was the first summit open to observers and Australia was honoured to have been admitted as an observer to the Alliance, which we value highly as a manifestation of increasing economic and political links between Australia and the countries of the Pacific Alliance. This Alliance could be very important to Australia and the government and the people of Columbia did a fine job of hosting the event. Its formation comes at a time when the Australian government is stepping up its engagement with Latin American countries. This follows a path which was forged by a growing number of Australian companies already doing business across the continent. The members focus on getting rid of barriers to trade, boosting productivity and promoting the flow of trade and capital across a common market aligns with Australia's own trade priorities. I believe that Australia has much to offer the countries of the Pacific Alliance in mining, in education, in water, in renewable energy. The Australia Chile Free Trade Agreement, which is a high-quality agreement, provides a strong link to the Pacific Alliance. As a consequence of that agreement, we've seen trade grow by 27.5% annually since the agreement entered into force back in 2009. We share a similar geography and similar experiences. There's already a great deal of trade and interaction between our countries but I think there can be more. Like the members of the Pacific Alliance, the Australian government believes in the ability of trade to improve living standards and foster a robust economy. We have a proven track record, having been at the cutting edge of trade liberalisation as it has progressed over several decades. One in five jobs in Australia is believed to be linked directly to trade. We've experienced nearly 22 years of uninterrupted annual growth. And today, Australia, like members of the Pacific Alliance, is party to some of the most innovative trade deals currently being negotiated. We are building on the ASEAN Australia New Zealand Free Trade Area that came into force in 2010 and it was one of Australia's most ambitious trade deals today. It's our largest FTA, covering goods, services, intellectual property, e-commerce, temporary movement of business people, competition and economic cooperation. It spans 12 economies and represents a market of over $640 million for the combined GDP of $4 trillion. It will eliminate 90% of tariffs on Australia's current exports to some of our key trading partners by 2020, providing enormous opportunities for Australian businesses. Today, along with Mexico, Chile, Peru, seven other nations, we are negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreements. Currently, TPP members account for nearly 40% of global GDP and almost 800 million people. The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement will be more than a traditional trade agreement. It will address behind the border impediments to trade. It will be a living agreement, allowing flexibility to deal with emerging issues and for expanding membership. And it has the potential to become a building block for economic integration in the Asia-Pacific. Another ambitious trade deal working towards a free trade region of the Asia-Pacific is the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement launched last year. The 16 negotiating parties of that agreement, including Australia, account for almost half the world's population, almost 30% of the world's GDP and a quarter of all exports. This ASEAN-driven agreement complements the TPP negotiations. It provides competitive tension, and it will strengthen the ambition held by all involved to deliver outcomes that will lead to an open and integrated region. Most importantly, both the RCEP and the TPP are pathways towards achieving APEX goal of a free trade area of the Asia-Pacific. A free trade area for the Asia-Pacific region would bring enormous benefits for individual countries, for the region, and for the world. Back in 2005, around 45% of the world's output growth was from Asia. By 2025, this is forecast to rise to 60%, accounting for almost half of the world's entire economic output. By 2025, four of the world's 10 largest economies are likely to be in the Asian region, China, India, Japan, Indonesia. Last October, the Australian government released the white paper on Australia in the Asian century. The government commissioned the white paper to best position Australians to benefit from and contribute to Asia's rise. It outlines a big vision for Australia and Australia that is even more integrated with Asia. We're already deeply connected to the region. Almost 62% of our total trade last year was with Asia. In the same year, we received almost 400,000 student enrollments from the region and over 1.7 million Australians were born in Asia. But that white paper process has crystallized our resolve to become even more interconnected. And some of the things that we committed to in the white paper include building Asia capabilities among our young people, strengthening access for Australian investment in Asian markets, and increasing the number of Australian businesses working across cross-border value chains, which have sprung up across the region. Now, how is this relevant to the Pacific Alliance? The answer is, as the government outlined in the white paper, Australia can act as a connecting rod between Latin America and Asia. In particular, Australia has much to share with members of the Pacific Alliance as they pursue their core objective of linking more closely with the Asia Pacific. We often cite the healthy growth in trade between Australian and Latin American countries in recent years to support or as evidence of the growing ties between us. Two-way trade between Australia and Latin America has grown from around a billion dollars in 1990 to almost eight billion dollars last year. Taken together, the Pacific Alliance countries account for around five billion dollars of that eight billion dollars. Its four members, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Colombia, are some of the most economically dynamic and liberal countries in Latin America and make up a third of the region's output. The Pacific Alliance is a free trade agreement described recently by the economist as exciting, inspiring and intriguing. And you only need to look at some of the outcomes from the summit in May to get a sense of why the Pacific Alliance has been described in this way. Members agreed to eliminate 90% of all tariffs on merchandise trade once the agreement enters into force with total abolition of all tariffs being the ultimate goal. Members also agreed to eliminate all visas between member countries for business travel and tourism. And a further seven countries became observers, including Ecuador, France, Honduras and Portugal. While it will be important for it to consolidate its work to date, I'm very impressed by all that's been achieved by the Alliance since it was formally established so recently. And this is not just a story of the benefits that come from liberalizing trade, but this is a broader story about increasing ties between our people and the benefits of plugging into those cross-border value chains. And it is in these areas where there are examples of Australia serving already as a link between Latin America and Asia. More than 250 Australian companies are now working in Latin America. Of these, many Australian mining companies extract minerals and metals there and then export them to customers in Asia through new and existing supply chains. Likewise, Brazilian, Chilean and Mexican firms are investing in Australia in beef, coal, manufactured food, auto parts and beauty products which are supplied to Asian customers. Finally, Australian schools and universities have become a hub for interaction between young Latin Americans and Asians. Last year 32,000 student enrolments in Australia were from Latin America joining nearly 400,000 enrolments from Asia. These three examples show just how Australia can serve as a link between Latin America and Asia. They provide real examples of what we envisage a more integrated Asia-Pacific region will actually look like. Where goods and services are able to be traded seamlessly across borders and where we're able to build on our trading strengths by working together. Arben Subramanian of the Peterson Institute for International Economics wrote earlier this year that multilateral trade as we've known it will progressively become history. I think the important phrase in this sentence is as we have known it. This current period for international trade will probably go down in history as an extremely difficult time for the WTO system but it will probably be equally seen as a period of renaissance for multilateral trade. A period where creativity and cooperation between like-minded countries has led to some extremely innovative ways to break down barriers to trade and further trade liberalisation. At the forefront of this innovation stands the Pacific Alliance so we are very pleased to be now an observer of the Pacific Alliance. We feel that observer status gives us opportunities to be involved which are relevant for us without perhaps distracting the Alliance by asking it to focus on questions of membership. We have a lot to share in terms of our knowledge and experience of working closely with Asia for several decades and our economy stands as a beacon of resilience in the world. Unlike virtually every developed economy we avoided recession and saved hundreds of thousands of jobs in the face of the worst global conditions since the Great Depression. We have low inflation, low interest rates, AAA credit rating, low unemployment and low public sector debt. The Australian government has been able to cut taxes, reform business taxation and assist small businesses with increased tax deductions. We're excited about the future for the Australian and Latin American relationship as we trade more, as we share more, as we build solid and long-lasting relationships. Thank you.

Piper Kerman interview, American Justice Summit 2014

Author Piper Kerman on criminal justice reform, from interviews conducted as part of the American Justice Summit 2014. See our report on the summit for more info: http://bit.ly/1dPUDPc. The second American Justice Summit is coming to John Jay College January 29, 2016. Stay tuned for more details.

I'm a very practical person. I think the first priority that we should take as a nation is to get low-level, nonviolent offenders, mentally ill people and people who are suffering from substance abuse as their primary issue out of the criminal justice system. They don't belong there or particularly out of the prison system. That will free up a lot more breathing room and resources to focus on the more serious crimes that concern us the most.

Chris Hunsaker | O'Reilly Velocity Conference 2013

Chris Hunsaker, Equinix, at O'Reilly Velocity Conference 2013, with John Furrier and Dave Vellante Chris Hunsaker, Director of Content and Digital Media at Equinix, highlighted the importance of choice in choosing data center solutions for the enterprise with theCUBE co-hosts John Furrier and Dave Vellante, live at the O'Reilly Velocity conference in Santa Clara this week. "Equinix is a global carrier-neutral data center provider," Hunsaker explained. "Our proposition is that you have to offer customers choice," not just a great set of services. To that extent, Equinix works with several carriers and over 500 cloud service providers. For a company to get the best performance, it has to find the right location, be connected to the right network providers, know about what customers want from them and optimize for it. "The overall concept is about choice, there's not gonna be one solution to work for all," Hunsaker said. New opportunities with cloud + services There is "a lot of opportunity, with the development of cloud and services. Companies can architect their solutions in a way they never could before," Hunsaker said. "They can get performance and scale at a price model that they couldn't get before." A common deployment scenario for Equinix, Hunsaker said, involved a company having had an initial setup, a starting solution, which they would need to then scale, growing out of their initial solution. The company recommends which carriers and providers to use to get the best performance and the lowest cost. Equinix works with companies in the search, gaming, and streaming media segments and helps them "meet goals in terms of performance, overall capability, [and] helps them connect to service providers" to build the overall solution that suits them best. On Amazon as a partner Asked about the company's partnership with Amazon, Hunsaker said Equinix offered its customers Amazon Direct Connect solutions. For companies that want to leverage the Amazon public cloud, the main challenge is connecting to it though an IP and moving data in and out of it. "We help them get a direct connect to the Amazon public cloud and be able to securely and quickly move content back and forth." One big advantage, Vellante pointed out, was the physically proximity to Amazon. "Our infrastructure and resources are kept together," Hunsaker agreed, thus offering very low latency. At Velocity, Equinix is "all about performance and innovation," sharing its message and talking about the concept with the community. Asked if the web was indeed getting faster, as Velocity aims to build a faster web, Hunsaker said "the web is getting more interesting. The jury may be out overall for the long term perspective."

Okay, we're back live here in Santa Clara, California. We are here at the Velocity Conference. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE. This is the wrap-up, or one segment for a wrap-up here at Velocity Conference. This is theCUBE with Flagship Program. We've gone through the advance, check us in from the noise. I'm joined by co-host. I'm Dave Vellante of wikibond.org, and I'm going to use this time to say go to wikibond.org, check out all the research. You'll see a bunch of stuff we did on the industrial internet. You'll see a bunch of things that we're doing around DevOps. Search for Munder Capital on wikibond, and you'll see a great case study on DevOps, very relevant to this show. Go to siliconangle.com. You'll see all the blogs from this event, and check out youtube.com slash siliconangle for the playlist of this event and other events that we've done. Chris Hunziker is here. He's the director of content and digital media at Equinex. Chris, welcome to theCUBE. Great, thank you. Equinex, you guys are like everywhere. It's unbelievable. We were at the AWS show. We saw you there. We just did, John just did a post on the Amazon Workday HP thing. They're hosting on you. Lo and behold, there's Equinex doing that. Everywhere we look, enterprises are, they want super high availability, they want high performance, they want scale, and Equinex seems to be there, so it seems like you guys are doing a great job, but give us a low down. All right, so Equinex is a global carrier neutral data center provider, and our proposition is that it's not enough just to go ahead and offer premium services in terms of having very good reliability or cooling or connectivity, but that you also need to go ahead and offer customers choice, and that's what we try to do with over 95 locations, over 900 networks, and over 500 cloud service providers. So talking more about choice, choices is what, geographic choice, choice of service level, what do you, let's unpack that a little bit. What do you mean by choice? So it's kind of a lot of those things. So in order to go ahead and get the best performance, you need a couple of different factors, so you need to go ahead and be in the right location, and you need to be connected to the right network providers. So you need to know about who your customers are and what they want to do with your application, and then optimize your network and your connectivity to go ahead and best support them. So what are you seeing? What are customers telling you about their demands, everybody's concerned about the cloud, they're concerned about SLAs, they're concerned about security and security, I'm sure you're hearing some of the same things, but tell us what they're telling you, asking you for, put it in your parlance, and how are you helping solve those problems? Well, I think what we're seeing is kind of a lot of opportunity because of the development of the cloud and all these great services, these companies are able to go ahead and architect these Roy-Nice solutions in a way that they haven't been able to do before by cross-connecting directly to these cloud providers, cross-connecting to CDM platforms, being connected to the right networks, they can go ahead and get performance and scale and add a price model that they might not have been able to do so before. So how are they architecting the solutions? You're obviously one piece of it. What's a, take us through it, I mean, there was no average or typical, but what is a sort of a common deployment and architecture? So, like I say, there's definitely a lot of different models and so what we've seen with a bunch of companies is sort of the original application was developed and then it's sort of taken off and exploded and so we actually had a speaker today meet me that we had been working with and that was kind of the case is they had an initial solution and then it became very popular and they knew that they needed to scale. It's actually scaled 300% in the last year, so they knew that they needed to go ahead and grow out and develop their overall solution and so we were able to work with them and talk to them about how their traffic was being used, where it was coming from, what it was going to and help recommend to them which carriers they could use to best optimize their traffic, get overall better performance and actually even reduce down a little bit of their cost. So, content in digital media is in your title, so that's obvious here, what is that specifically and what are the particular demands on that side of the business that are unique? So, what I do is I work with a lot of the different companies out there, sort of the search engines, the gaming companies, the streaming media companies and try to help them meet their goals in terms of performance and overall capability, help to sort of connect them to the different service providers, like a lot of companies want to connect to Facebook now and they can go ahead and do that through our exchanges to be able to go ahead and get that optimum performance, so basically overall helping them build those solutions. And a lot of your customers want to connect with Amazon as well, and so talk about that a little bit. Right, so we have a partnership with Amazon, a great company, and they have a Amazon Direct Connect solution, so the concept is that a lot of companies want to use the Amazon public cloud but one of the difficulties with that is accessing that cloud over a public IP, so if you need to shift a lot of data in and out of there, a lot of companies would prefer to do that in a more direct fashion, so by coming to Equinix you can get a direct connect to the Amazon public cloud and then be able to go ahead and securely and quickly just get that content back and forth. So you co-locate Proximate to an AWS data center so that the speed of light is not as much and it's not as problematic, is that correct? Well, we work with Amazon so that customers can actually go ahead and get a cross-connect directly from their cage into the Amazon infrastructure. Yeah, but one of the advantages of, correct me if I'm wrong, is that you guys are physically proximate to the Amazon data because you've got so many data centers around the world, right, so Equinix a unique provider and partner in that regard, is that true or? Correct, correct, that our infrastructure and resources are close together so that you get low millisecond latency by doing that direct cross-connect. Yeah, because John, as you know, when you're moving a lot of data, let's always say the Chevy truck is the fastest way to move it. Chris, I got to ask you though, I mean one of the things we've been tracking obviously bare metal, standing up bare metal servers has always been what people do and that's been the way, and you know, we talk about gaming companies, Zynga started on Amazon, then they realized, well we better have our own bare metal so they had to build their own Colos and data centers as well. So that's the balance now, you know, large companies, I mean it's always the fluke, you know, that someone builds on Amazon goes to be, you know, Twitter to the same thing, so for existing companies that need to have that Colo, they need to have that bare metal, they need to have the data center capabilities, they need all those benefits, but still want to use cloud. What are you seeing as the dynamic right now between the bare metal and the cloud? What are the key pressure points? What's the market forces, what can you share there? Right, so what I see is sort of the overall concept is again kind of about choice, so there's not going to be any one solution that works for any of these companies, but I think the really good option is that these companies could go ahead and choose to use public cloud as makes best sense for them, and then they can also go ahead and deploy solutions within Equinix that makes sense for them. And so we've actually got a really good case study done by Badgeville, which is up on our website that talks about how they started out in Amazon, and then they needed to get a little bit faster performance on their specific database servers. So what they ended up doing is deploying specialized hardware within Equinix and then using that Direct Connect with Amazon so they could go ahead and leverage public cloud while also getting that excellent database performance. So what are you guys doing here at Velocity? Well, we're all about performance and also innovation and connectivity, and this is where the great conference is, where all the industry leaders are, so we come to go ahead and share a message, talk about these concepts, and continue to support them. So is the web getting faster? It's getting more interesting. There's definitely a lot more content going over it with all the increase in streaming video. I think the jury may be out overall on the long-term perspective, but it's definitely fun to watch. All right, Chris. Well, thanks very much for stopping by theCUBE and appreciate your perspectives. Good luck. Thank you. Okay, this is theCUBE. We are here at Velocity Conference. Stay with us for our day one wrap up after the short break. Dave and I will break down day one and we'll call it a day and we'll see you tomorrow, but stay with us for the wrap up after the short break. This is SiliconANGLE and Wikibon's exclusive coverage of the Velocity Conference live here in Santa Clara, California, be right back.

The year is 1951, and Linda Brown is a third grader in Topeka, Kansas. Now, like all other third graders, Linda Brown likes playing hopscotch with her friends. She enjoys playing jump rope, but her mom and dad are worried about her. Her mom and dad are worried about her because Linda isn't able to go to the same school as her peers. As a black person in 1951 in the United States of America, black people weren't able to go to the same schools as white people. And Linda, her parents, were worried about her because when they saw their child, they saw their future. They wanted their child to have the best shot at success. And so her parents ended up suing the Board of Education in Topeka, Kansas. And this was a landmark moment in the United States of America. It was known as something called Brown versus Board of Education. This ended up going to the Supreme Court. And this was important because this specific ruling in the Supreme Court is the reason why schools in the United States of America were desegregated. But Linda Brown and her parents had approved something. They had approved that discrimination is bad, which sounds silly in 2022, but in that time they had approved that this act of discrimination was bad for children. So there were two researchers at Columbia University who devised a study. They called it the Dahl Test. They worked with five to nine-year-old black boys and girls and provided them with two dolls. And then these researchers would ask the children a battery of questions. Questions like, which doll is good and which doll is evil? Which doll do you want to play with and which doll don't you want to play with? Which doll is beautiful and which doll is ugly? And after asking these questions, the researchers would then ask little boy or little girl, which doll looks like you? And what Kenneth and Mamie Clark discovered was something staggering. 70 percent, seven in ten of these five to nine-year-old black boys and girls would describe the negative characteristics with the black doll and the positive characteristics with the white doll. Which doll is beautiful, the white one? Which doll do you want to play with, the white one? Which doll is good, the white one? Which doll is evil, ugly, the one that you don't want to play with? The black doll. And after asking all of these questions and answering them, when the researchers asked which doll looks like you, after saying the black doll was evil and ugly and that they didn't want to play with it, they would pick up the black doll and they would say, this is the doll that looks like me. These researchers discovered something incredible. In an environment steeped in discrimination, the issue wasn't how the rest of the world was looking at the black community, but instead how young black boys and girls began to look at themselves. So they discovered what was termed as internalized oppression. Now, this story and learning about this struck a chord with me. I'm the author of Nori Kids. Many of you may have heard of Nori Kids before, but what you probably don't know is that growing up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, I went through a great deal of challenges. I remember, for example, when I was in middle school, it was a point in time when I wanted to fit in because kids were teasing me and I started telling my mom to pick me up 15 minutes after my baseball games were finished because I don't want anyone to see my mom. I don't want anyone to see her wearing a job. I just wanted to fit in. Now, in 2016, when my wife and I were here in the Bay Area doing our masters, we wanted to investigate this. We wanted to understand what is the impact. In 2016, 2016 was a very unique climate. There was a lot of things happening then, but we wanted to understand how young five- to nine-year-old Muslim boys and girls were internalizing their identity. And so we devised a very interesting piece of research. There were three parts to this research. One part of the research was a in-depth interview. It was about 30 minutes long when we would interview five- to nine-year-old Muslim boys and girls and we'd share statements with them and they'd say, yes, no, maybe, or I don't know. Statements like, I am a Muslim. I am an American. Muslims are good people. Americans are good people. Muslims can be Americans. Americans can be Muslim, so on and so forth. We would also give them a performance task where we would ask them to ascribe characteristics to two different people. There was a woman version of this and also a male version of this. This one's a little bit more dramatic. That's why I'm sharing it. But we'd ask the children to point towards which person has a lot of friends. Which person belongs in her neighborhood? Which person is good at sports? Which person is smart? Now if you look closely at this, what you'll see is they're both actually the same photo. One is a person wearing hijab. One is a person who's not wearing hijab. Now we did this research not just in the San Francisco Bay Area. We actually replicated it across five major cities in the United States of America. And we picked these cities on purpose to try to get a little bit of diversity. We did it in Los Angeles. We did it in Phoenix. We did it in Dallas. We did it in Atlanta, Georgia. And we did it in the DC, Maryland, Virginia area. Now in general, the population was relatively diverse. When I say diverse, what I mean is it was a subset that was African-American. It was a subset that was Asian. It was a subset that was Middle Eastern. It was a subset that was that identified as being white. Additionally, there was diversity in terms of whether children were first and second generation in terms of as American. And we can, inshallah, talk about some of this in Q&A as there's discussions about it. But I want to share with you the top line headlines from that research. What we discovered was that one in three of these Muslim boys and girls, oh by the way, one other thing, pause, we were thoughtful about finding diversity specifically with respect to schooling. About half of the sample went to full-time public school but attended a weekend Islamic school. About half of the population went to a full-time Islamic school or they were homeschooled. Okay, so that was built into the study. And we can talk about some of those nuances as well in the discussion. But headlines, one in three of these kids responded that they did not want others to know that they are Muslim. 15%, about one in six responded that sometimes they pretend not to be Muslim. So Amina, who's five, she says something, they, the kids in public school, they don't know that I'm Muslim. And I don't want them to know. So at five, this child is articulating this feeling of, hey look, I don't want these children to know because she believes that there is a negative perception of that. One in two responded that they didn't know whether they can be both Muslim and American as if there was a conflict. By being Muslim, maybe they couldn't be American or Americans maybe can't be Muslim. Serena, who's nine, she said some Americans, they don't like Muslims. They say like, oh, you can't eat here. You can't do things because you're not American. You're a Muslim and you're a terrorist. They say that maybe. I want to pause real quick for a moment. A nine-year-old or a five-year-old is not bleaching their hair blonde. They're not going by mo instead of Muhammad. They're not leaving the faith. Why does it matter what a five to nine-year-old thinks? I don't know if you guys normally make this interactive or if I just do this rhetorically. But truthfully, like, who cares what a five to nine-year-old thinks? Why does it matter if a five to nine-year-old is articulating these attitudes? You guys, we can't all participate at the same time. That will be a problem. Yes, why does it matter what a five to nine-year-old thinks? Masha'Allah. Takbir, Allahu Akbar. Let's do it like, because you guys act like we want to be here and we're excited, okay? And let's breathe some energy into this room, okay? So we'll say Takbir and we'll all say Allahu Akbar together. Takbir, Allahu Akbar. Thank you for your contribution. Yes. So the prevailing theory is that by the time a child is nine years old, a significant part of their identity, their self-concept, their understanding of who they are has been established. Now, can that change? Yes, it can change. But you think about it almost as roots of a tree. Once the roots have been planted, they've been established and it's a little bit difficult to move. That's when we get almost the highest return on investment with respect to education is in those early years when we're planting those seeds. So the issue becomes if a five, six, seven, eight, or nine-year-old is articulating attitudes like this, at this age, what happens when they then go to middle school or high school and are carrying these beliefs with them? That's why it matters. So after doing all this research, it took us like a fair amount of time. I remember my wife and I like we would travel like, wow, we had like a little baby. We would do these interviews. It took so much work and I remember once we finished it, I was at the dinner table with my dad and he was like, so mean, what did you find? And I said, dating, the headline of this research is that many of our children don't feel like they belong. And then my dad said, okay, so he's like, I mean, come on, first world problems, let's be honest, they don't feel like they belong, boo. Ooh, I mean. And he's like, I mean, are you serious? This is the issue that you're worried about, the kids don't belong? How would you respond to my dad? Does it matter if a child feels like they don't belong within their American environment? Does it matter? Who cares? How would you respond to my father? Who, by the way, I'm joking a little bit, but I'm using this as an important moment because we might also be thinking, okay, belonging, touchy-feely, seriously, why does it matter? Why does it matter? Someone who wants, yes, over here. Because so what the sister said is she said, look, this is the community that the kids are living in, they don't feel like they belong here, that's a problem. Mashallah, thank you, yes. She said, I don't want her to feel any less than her peers, as if belonging is related to self-esteem. If I don't feel like I belong, maybe that influences my feeling about myself, my self-esteem. That's one exceedingly good argument and we're going to talk about it. I want to position three specific reasons why belonging matters. And then after we talk about these three reasons why belonging matters, I want to share some of these specific things that we can be doing to help build this feeling of belonging among our children. But if you really want me to tell you why belonging matters, I'm going to say taqabir and I need you all to say Allah Akbar. Taqabir. Man, it doesn't seem like you guys want me to do it. It's not Iranian, I'm leaving, you do this, no? Alright, let's try it again, taqabir. Allah. Mashallah, mashallah. You know, I do kids programs for a living, right? So I got it, you know, alright. So one of the reasons why belonging matters is because it's tied to agency. I want everyone to say agency. One more time, agency. One last time, agency. When something belongs to you, you then care about it. What do I mean, okay? If, for example, I said that there is a Tesla outside that has its lights on, if a Tesla belongs to you, you might then reach for your phone and say, oh, maybe that's mine. I also don't own a Tesla, I don't know how it works, you probably don't leave your lights on, right? But let me give you another example. When I go to a masjid, for the people who come to the masjid all the time, and they feel like this masjid belongs to me, when the program is over, they feel compelled to help clean up. They'll say, oh, let me grab the seats, let me put them where they belong. Let's fold up the things. Because when something belongs to you, you then care about it. You feel like it is your responsibility. Are you following? Similarly, if our children don't feel like they belong within their community, they don't feel like they have a responsibility over it. The issues of their city, whether they be homelessness, whether they be issues of the environment, whether they be issues of pollution, they think to themselves, oh, they don't belong, I don't have responsibility over it because this community doesn't belong to me. One way you can talk about this in layman's term is being kind of a second-class citizen. This feeling of, oh, I don't get all the privileges of being a citizen of the city of Pleasanton or something like that. I'm just here, I'm transient. This isn't mine. Of course, we don't want that. We want our children to help build a better world. And if we want them to be actively involved in their communities, they have to feel like their communities belong to them. One of the reasons why belonging matters is because of agency. A second reason why belonging matters is because of what's called antisocial behavior. I want you to say it after me. It's a long antisocial behavior. One more time. Antisocial behavior. One last time. Antisocial behavior. When I say that, what I mean is when someone doesn't feel like they belong, it can often lead to two different consequences. One is assimilation and one is resistance. When I say assimilation, it's similar to that experience that I articulated before. Remember the one when I was talking about baseball? About how, for example, my mom, I would tell her to pick me up 15 minutes after my baseball games were finished because I didn't want anyone to know that I was a Muslim. This could be someone saying, oh, hey, my name's Mo instead of Muhammad, or someone bleaching their hair blonde. I mean, not to say, I mean, you can. There's different rationale why people do different things. But this assimilation is not ideal because we want our kids to feel comfortable in their own skin. We don't want them to feel like they have to be someone who they are not. A second reason why it matters is because of resistance. The opposite side of the coin is when someone doesn't feel like they belong, they begin to kind of dig their heels into an opposition against the majority. And this is something that we observed, I mean, in extremes. So for example, when we were doing this study and we went to Phoenix, we heard about an unfortunate situation that happened. It was a must shit. Now Phoenix was very unique. There was a point in time when a must shit in Phoenix had armed protesters who brought machine guns and they surrounded the must shit. Now this is actually the funny part of this. Let me tell you a funny part of the story. These people knew such a little bit about Islam. They came to the must shit on a Sunday and they surrounded the must shit and they were like holding these guns and they're like, yeah, we're going to get these Muslims. And no one showed up. And they're like, what's going on here? Crickets or tumbleweed. And then someone went on Wikipedia and they're like, oh, they come on Fridays. Oh, we don't even know. So anyways, they come on Friday. They had this situation. This was a big deal. This was a big deal. And imagine your young child at this point in time. You see this. Now, Alhamdulillah, by the way, the good news, the amount of support. Yes, on Friday this happened. But on Sunday of that same week, there were so many interfaith allies that came into the must shit that there was no space. It was literally standing room only, right? So I share that to say that this, what I described is not normal. Like this is, you know, these are, you know, extreme people with extreme points of views who treated these people this way. And this is not common. But regardless, it was a 13 year old boy who, in Phoenix, at this predominantly Pakistani must shit, where this occurred, afterwards there was an event where people were depicting our Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be on him, in a very negative way. And he thought, you know what? I'm going to give them what they have coming. That, of course, is not ideal. That is not a situation we want any of our kids to be in. Right? But this is a result of, it stems from a feeling of belonging. Okay? So, I said belonging matters. One, because of agency. Number two, I said it matters because of anti-social behavior, which can be assimilation. It can also be resistance. We don't want our children to feel like they have to force themselves to be in one of these things. We just want them to feel comfortable in their own skin. A third reason why belonging matters is because of what our sister said earlier. Self-esteem, right? We want our children to have a positive feeling about who they are. We don't want to feel like they're lesser than other people or that they have to change who they are such that they can fit in or feel like they belong. Okay? Pause. As I'm talking about this, among us, there's at least a couple of people in the back of their mind who are thinking, but brother and me, do we really want to belong as Americans? What has America done? America has participated in some grave crimes. Crimes against some Muslim countries. Do we want our kids to be American? And what's unique is we actually found this in the research. We found what statistical significance that Arab children had less favorable attitudes towards America, Americans, and being American than any other ethnic group. The rationale is simple because they see and Pakistani children are much better than Arab children. I'm kidding, that was a joke. No one laughed. That didn't land. Okay, that was not the point. That didn't land. Okay. The reason why was because of American foreign policy. When we asked these children, why did they articulate these attitudes? They said, how can I love being American? Look at what they did to my people in Lebanon. Look at what they did to my people in Iraq. Look at what they did to my people in Palestine. So on and so forth. This was actually something that we observed within the data that these children that came from countries that had American foreign intervention, they had less favorable attitudes. But we have to understand for a moment when we say that we belong as an American, what does that really mean? Does that mean that I'm co-signing every action that every American has done? When I say that yes, I'm an American, does that mean that I co-sign every action that every American does and says yes? And by the way, if I say that I am American, does that mean that I can no longer be Pakistani like it's citizenship? Like, oh, you're American. You can't be Pakistani anymore? Absolutely not. This is a very important piece of the discussion. But I don't think you guys are ready for it. Just kidding. All right. Let's bring some energy into the room. Okay, I'm going to say Takbir. I want you to say Allah Akbar. Takbir. One more time. Takbir. One last time. And you guys, you can feel like you say loudly, okay? Takbir of Allah Akbar. Mashallah. So sometimes we think about identity and these various facets of our identities being mutually exclusive, or I can be Muslim, or I can be American, or I can be Pakistani. Sometimes in our mind, we think about it this way. My kids are Pakistani. They're not American, you know? But that's just not the way it works. Our heart is big enough where identity is intersectional. It's not mutually exclusive. I can be Muslim, and I can be American, and I can be Pakistani, and I can be a father, and I can be a son, and I can be a brother, and I can be a Minnesota Vikings fan, and I can be an athlete, and I can be and and and and and. Do you see that? We need not make this artificial choice to say I can only be this. No, I can be both. Number one. Number two, if I say that I identify as a Muslim, does that mean that now I am co-signing every decision that every Muslim has ever made? Absolutely not. Right? And in the same way, if I identify as being American, that doesn't mean that I co-sign every decision that every American makes. It simply means that this is an environment within which I feel like I have responsibility. This is an environment within which I feel like I belong. So I hope I've established thus far that belonging matters, why it matters, and also that belonging as an American is actually a pretty good thing. It doesn't necessarily mean that we are co-signing everything bad that every American has done. And also, it doesn't mean that we're giving up other parts of our identity either. So now the question becomes, how do we solve this problem? How do we help our children feel like they belong? This is not a rhetorical question. I want to get audience participation. If you were tasked with trying to solve this problem of helping our children feel like they belong, what are one, two, or three things that you think we could do to help develop this feeling? Yes. Please. So what the sister said is she said, hey, does schooling matter, right? The environment within which our kids grow up and does it matter. And I would take it a step further and I would actually assert that in fact, the community that our child grows up in matters a great deal. And this is one actually of the ways that we can help facilitate belonging. The sister came up with it. This is her second time contributing. She is getting a gold star. The rest of you, I don't know, bronze at best. Okay, bronze at best. But one of the key things is a community of practice. I want everyone to say community of practice. I want to say one more time, community of practice. One last time, community of practice. So if I were to do a summation, sum, and all of my child's social interactions on a consistent basis, that is roughly what we call our child's community of practice. So what does that mean? It means where they go to school. It means where they go for Sunday school. It means where they go for karate. It means where they go for hives. It means where do they go for soccer. It means who comes over on Friday and Saturday nights. If I were to sum all of these various things together, it makes my child's community of practice. And what we know is that as parents, we can be extraordinarily strategic in designing the community of practice that our children are growing up in to help stimulate belonging. So how do we design it? There are two key things that we know are valuable when we design the community of practice. One of the things that we know is valuable are mirrors. Say it after me, mirrors. Now when I say mirrors, I don't literally mean like a mirror that you're able to look at. But what I mean is a community within which when my child comes, they see other individuals who kind of mirror their identity. They mirror that. So what does that mean that could mean, for example, going to a full-time Islamic school? Or it might mean being actively involved in the masjid. Or it might mean having a close circle of Muslim friends where my child might see some people know to asterisk in this conversation, I'm specifically talking about Muslim identity, right? There's other types of identity, you know, racial identity, ethnic identity, socioeconomic status, so on and so forth, right? But I'm specifically talking about Muslim identity. So number one, we want to cultivate our community of practice, be diligent, thoughtful about crafting it such that there are mirrors. It is also valuable to have windows. I want everyone to say windows. Now when I say windows, I don't just literally mean windows that, you know, bring in the breeze. I mean windows into people who are also not Muslim. And me interacting in those spaces and feeling comfortable in my own skin, okay? So how does that practically manifest themselves? It could mean my child is part of a homeschool co-op in which they are with other Muslim families. But we're in karate and karate is in the city of Pleasanton where there is other people who may not be Muslim. That is, for example, cultivating my community of practice such that there are mirrors and also windows. Now there's other things that we know here that like generally speaking, if my child is in environments, now this is like not study, this is like educational theory, if my child is in an environment where there is a greater level of diversity that generally is a good thing because a child feels less like those differences are less salient in an environment. So for example, I grew up in Maple Grove, Minnesota. A sea of gory loge that means white people. And I was the only brown guy who stuck out like a sore thumb, right? Now if I was in an environment that was diverse and now I'm Muslim, my differences are not as salient. Do you see that? So that's also part of that community of practice and being thoughtful about it. We can talk in greater detail about specifically what our research showed about Islamic schools, but I don't want that to be the point of the discussion. So one of the things we talked about was community of practice. What is the second thing that might be valuable? Yes. Lead by example. What is your name? Javed. Okay, I'm going to say Takbir. I'm going to do Allah Akbar for Javed. Takbir. So I want to first, before I talk about this, head on, I want to talk about this which is similar. This is the idea of role models. I want everyone to say role models. Say it again, role models. One last time, role models. Thank you. So the most basic way which each of us have learned actually like the pedagogy that we learn faith like how Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala teaches us is through role models. Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala sent us prophets. Prophets that were not angels. Prophets that were human beings. Such that we could see these human beings and attempt to emulate them. Think to ourselves, Allah Akbar, I want to be like him or I want to be like her. This is natural. This is ingrained within us. We look to role models as a source of learning. Similarly for our children having access to role models that help showcase what does this integration look like? What does it look like to practice Islam in America and be unapologetic about it is valuable. Now oftentimes we think about these role models in two forms. One is what's called an aspirational role model. The second is what's called a relational role model. An aspirational role model is someone who they see. Maybe someone who they've never met could be like Ibtihaj Muhammad right? A fencer who's a Muslim woman. Or it could be Salman Khan the one who made Khan Academy. I'm happy I qualified that. The Pakistanis in India loved that joke. Everyone else was like I don't get it. Because there's another actor named Salman Khan and he might not be the best role model. Okay we'll move on. So that is what's called an aspirational role model. Okay? There's value in that. Then there's a relational role model. That's someone that our child is able to touch, feel and see. It could be a teacher. It could be a boy scout or girl scout troop leader. It could be their teacher in Sunday school. Okay? Both of these role models are very valuable and as parents we can seek to try to provide them to us. Finally. There's a third thing. Now there's more than that. I'm simplifying. I want to talk about three things. Community practice, role models and the third thing is what Brother Jawad said. Now I'm going to share you something in the research but before I share it I need you to promise that you do not throw tomatoes at me. Does anyone have tomatoes in their bags? Don't throw them at me if you have them. And before you cast judgment on me and everything I've said allow me to explain this as well. Here's what we found with statistical significance in the study. We found that children whose mother wears hijab those children demonstrated more confidence in their identity than those whose mothers do not wear hijab. Now hold on pause. A simplistic look at this will say oh well if all the women wear hijab then that's going to solve our problems. That is not the point here. The point here is something different. Think about this. A mother's decision that literally has nothing to do with the child. It has absolutely nothing to do with the child. Empirically has a association with how a child feels about himself or herself. Now hijab is one very easy question we can ask in an interview. But think about the thousands of decisions that we as parents make on a daily basis. Do I myself as a father or do I myself as a mother do I exhibit the identity that I wish my child has? Do I exhibit the relationship with prayer or the Quran or with Akhlaq? Do I observe that character? The single most important variable that impacts a child's understanding of who they are. It is not living in California. Sorry. It is not where they go to school. It is not how much money they have. The single most important variable is the quality of the relationship they have with their parents. Do you see that if you send your child to here but I'm not involved that's not going to solve our problems. I want to articulate this with an example. I talked about my father before and I share this example not in any way to demean my father but I use this as an example and may Allah bless my father. I remember when I was a kid in Minnesota we would go on road trips and when we were going on road trips I've already established that I'm Pakistani because you know flights are very expensive. So when we would go on road trips a time would come when it would be time to perform prayer and so we would go to the rest stop and then my father would look to the left he'd look to the right he'd make sure that no one was watching and then he would say ok Bismillah let's pray now. Now that was a tiny action. Do you see how tiny that action was? But me years later still associates that somehow this prayer that I'm doing is weird. I shouldn't do it when other non-Muslim people look at me. Do you see how that small decision impacted the way I feel? This is what I mean when I say the parents play the most critical and central role in the development of our children's identity. Now I want to pause for a moment. I want to talk about a couple of things here and I'll inshallah speak for maybe three to five more minutes and then we'll pause to give time for any questions you might have. We must realize and I start with myself when I say this our kids are getting older and I think about especially dads when I come home and how my little boy costume looks at me and he says daddy I want to play and I am I'm tired and I think there's nothing more than I want than to just sleep and take a nap and I know that each of you have been there and felt that but I want you to remember this a day will come when we pass away just like a day will come when our parents pass away and what lives on our legacy the ceaseless benefit the sadkha jarya that we have the best thing we can do is our children and the reason why I think about this is because my mom passed away when she was 52 my mom passed away and I remember when my mom passed away I'm going to tell a story and it's going to be about moms but before I tell that story I want to say that like dads play a very important role super important role sometimes when we think about parenting we think oh it's all moms absolutely not the best role model the walking grand he would play camel not horse he would play camel and his companion would walk by and he would look at the grand children what a great camel you have in our holy prophet how much peace and blessings would be on him would look and say no what great riders do I have at a time when dads wouldn't kiss their children he would be seen kissing his children when his daughter fought them I would come in the room he would stand up okay when my mom passed away my dad told the story it's my favorite story he said once upon a time there was a king and that king wanted to find the person in his kingdom that king was good and for that person he would give his crown and his entire kingdom so one by one each person came and they said oh look this is what I've done and there were three five of us first person was a doctor she said look I'm a doctor I've healed so many people I've created these medications I've researched these vaccines and when she finishes everyone gives her a round of applause and there's one person at the front an older woman smiling bigger than everyone and she was clapping harder than everyone and then the person goes off then a second person comes on it's an engineer the engineer says look at these bridges that I've made they've connected our society together they're amazing and again everyone gives this person a round of applause and again there's this old woman who's clapping harder than everyone else smiling bigger than everyone else finally there's a third person a teacher a teacher says look I have done so much for teaching our society and again everyone gives a teacher a round of applause and there's this woman who is clapping harder and smiling bigger now the king has a tough decision he goes into his quarters and he thinks ah how am I going to pick the doctor the engineer the teacher how should I pick things maybe I'll ask that old woman who is clapping so loud smiling so maybe she has an idea she invites her says oh woman who should I give my kingdom to and the woman says oh king I can't pick I can't pick the kingdom says what are you talking about what do you mean you can't pick the person who you pick is going to inherit my entire kingdom why can't you pick and the old woman says no king I honestly can't pick because all three of these people are my children and the king knows who that person was that person who had done the most for his kingdom he invited the mother he put the crown on the mother and the people celebrated I share this because subhan Allah we live in a funny time a funny time we're in we have established value based simply on economic value if someone makes a lot of money and is able to generate a lot of economic value masha Allah that is success there's value in that there's no doubt about it but the role of parenthood this lofty role is one that we as a society and as a community have kind of said oh you're just a mom oh you're just a mom just a mom are you kidding me Allah Akbar just a mom lady mariam was just a mom lady fatima was just a mom just a mom we have to seriously recalibrate look at this idea of parenting because we as parents play the most important role and remember the asterisk I said yes I talked about the roles of mothers and so then I don't want it to feel like oh but then fathers don't play no fathers absolutely play a role as well right there's not to wash our hands of it and one of the things we can also do is we I mean we play a role insha Allah we have about 10 minutes left I'm gonna pause and insha Allah will allow for conversation for 10 minutes yes you heard that story so do you love your mom how much a lot you know how you can show your mom that you love her the best thing you can do for your mom it's not to write her a card it's also not to get her a flower it's also not to get her a trophy the best gift you can give your mom is to be a living trophy to be the best version of yourself and insha Allah by doing that it will be something your mom will love and insha Allah we all pray that you're able to do that everyone say amen thank you any other questions yes yeah that's a great question so we during the research we did two different things one was an in-depth interview and the second was a performance task when we did the in-depth interview we shared statements with the children and they could either respond by saying yes no maybe or I don't know the statements were things like I am a Muslim I am an American Americans are good people Muslims can be American Americans can be Muslim now the research is available and I can share it with you as well but it was through these specific responses to these statements that we were able to create associations between various variables like for example a child whose mother wears hijab and then with how they responded yes to the in-depth interview great question masha Allah masha Allah yeah no I really appreciate it and I think if I were to summarize what you said in one headline I would say quality time right so you here in the MCC are like ruthlessly spoiled crazy spoiled so spoiled because you have people like Ustad Aranya here and you have people like Sister Hina and so many incredible scholars who talk about various things and I am confident that someone has likely talked about the love languages with the community before but if no one has allow me to briefly summarize right love is a big deal love between husband and spouse also love between parent and child now the key thing about love to know is that in the same way that we speak languages love also has languages there is a man who was a therapist whose last name is Chapman I believe his first name was Gary but I forget he penned a book called the five love languages after his entire career working with families and what he believed was the most significant problem in marriages wasn't that people didn't love each other but that they were speaking different languages and so he said that a spouse has to know the language of the other spouse and the parent should also know the language of the children and love them in that language there is five languages one of them is quality time everyone say quality time one of them is words of affirmation words of affirmation words of affirmation means compliments three is gift giving everyone say gift giving and by the way sometimes people think that there might be oh they're showy or gaudy or something no I mean some people just like gift giving there's nothing wrong with that number four is physical touch the fifth one is acts of service everyone say acts of service so now let me give you a practical example my father his love language is acts of service so he shows his love through acts of service I am my dominant love languages words of affirmation so what happens my father will do things for me to show me that he loves me what will he do for example when I was a kid he would pick me up and drop me off to baseball he would spend time playing baseball with me he would help me learn how to drive he would showcase acts of service but he wouldn't really give me compliments I mean you did a good job I mean I love you I mean you did great so I grew up thinking man this dad doesn't love me he loved me but he showed me in a different way you see that now fast forward now when I'm an adult I show my love to my dad I say Masha'Allah you've lost some weight Masha'Allah you look great in that shirt you've done a good job talking but he doesn't really care about that he cares about acts of service I mean my lawn needs to get mowed you haven't mowed my lawn I have this child who does nothing for me but do you see that I said it in jest but this is actually real so what I need to do if I really love my dad I need to show him love the way he wants to be shown love and as a parent I need to show that he or she wants to be loved and similarly with my spouse and one of them is quality time and quality time frankly can't go wrong especially with our children I'm going to pause I know it's going to be time for Isha very soon if there's time for one last question Alhamdulillah so let me pause and just because we have two minutes I'm going to tell you and I want to pause by also saying Alhamdulillah my name is brother Amina I'm one of those that don't know me I run an organization called Noor Kids it's a character building program primarily for kids ages 4 to 9 if you're not aware of our work we have some of our things outside please do take a look we also have a kids program after Isha every month kids get a new book in the mail and every week we do a story time for kids I share that to say realize I am not a sheikh and also number 2 our research is primarily focused on 4 to 9 year olds so while I do have thoughts on this I will put an asterisk next to my thoughts to say I'm not an expert having said that when a child is over the age of 9 one of the most valuable things we can do is to help cultivate that community of practice specifically through friends so now a parent thinks but I can't force who she's friends with no you can't force who she's friends with but you can create the opportunity for friendship to take shape if I can get my daughter involved in various programs where she might be able to develop strong friendships inshallah that might be a successful way to help them develop confidence because once our children get older sometimes the role of parents becomes a little bit more difficult inshallah we pray that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accepts our efforts allows our children to be the coolness of our eyes allows us to be the parents that our children deserve allow us to establish prayer and also our legacy our generations of children to come may Allah send your blessings on our holy prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be on him upon his family and upon his companions Jazakum Allah Khair, thank you

Eshop na WP od Vláďa Musílek

Přednáška od Vládi Musílka na téma Eshop na WP. Presentation slides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmudwfRq5PQ WPTV link: https://wordpress.tv/2018/08/24/eshop-na-wp-od-vlada-musilek/

Dobrý den. Vítám vás na e-shopu na workshopu o e-shopech. Ve WordPressu doufám, že jsem dobře slyšet, slyšíte mě všichni i v zádu. Týbořně. Tak na dnešní workshop jsem dostal 45 minut. Vzodem tomu, že když dělám školení pro bukomers, tak to máme přidlížně na 8 hodin. Tak jsem uvažoval o tom, jakým způsobem to dnes spojmu. Rozdělal jsem to na dvě části, kdy vám nejprve řeknu, jak si myslili, že jsou na tom WordPress e-shopy v České republice a jak je to s problémama při provozování e-shopu na WordPressu v Čechách. A pak budeme mít druhou polovinu workshopu na vaše dotazy, na vaše problémy, to znamená, že pošlu mezi vás mikrofon a co si řeknete, tak o tom můžeme diskutovat a co budu vědět, tak odpovím. O, bukomers se dá, sice pojídat docela dlouho, ale většinu věcí si najdete na internetu nebo se zeptáte na Facebooku, na všechno existujou návody, existuje dokumentace, na většinu věcí najdete paginy. Ale problém začíná v tu chvíli, kdy chcete provozovat e-shop v České republice. Tak, co se týka, okud by jsme měli mluvit o tom, jakým způsobem ze spustit e-shop na WordPressu v Českých podminkách nebo řekněme z plaginem, který je z Česka, tak vym pouze o jednom, který provozuje, nebo který má firma preho, která má svůj vlastní interný e-shop sistém postavený na WordPressu, používají ho pro své interní projekty, pokud se nic nezvěnilo a všechno ostatní jsou plaginy z zahraničí. Nejdete v repozitáři WordPress, jdete celou zadu plaginům, dosť často jsou ty plaginy opuštěné, ty vývojáři už se jim nevěnují a pro ty, který jsou poční, tak je poměrně málo, by plnit u jedinou vidímkou je vukomers. Takže pokud se dnes budeme bavit v e-shopech, tak o ostatních plaginů se dotkneme jen pokrajově, budeme se bavit především vukomers. Chcete se zeptat, jestli je tady někdo, kdo provozuje e-shop na WordPressu a používá něco jiného než vukomers, dobré, pokud máte něco na míru, tak pochybuji, že to je poměrně rovustní řešení. Já pokud jsem se setkal s řešením na míru na WordPressu, tak to většinou bylo stilem. Po e-mailu mě stačí, když budu mít formulár a budeme to chodit na e-mailu, já už si pak s tyma lidma budu komunikovat. Většině případu jsem se nesetkal si čím složitější. Z těch plaginů, které se dají použít v WordPressu na e-shop, tak chci zmínit e-go-shop, protože to je plagin, který z terého vukomers zešla. V současné době nějakým způsobem stále vyvíjem, pro české prostředí, pro něj neexistujou žádné dopliky. Ale je to vlastně tak zdroj, z terého se vukomers vyvíjela, protože ty vývojáři, které v současné době vukomers vyvíjí, nejprve napsali jí-go-shop, než přešli do firmy Routens. Další možnosti, na kterou můžete navod WordPressu. Narazy je kart 66. V současné době se malinko změnila způsob distribuce nebo uplatnění toho plaginu, spíše se ta firma snaží zaměřovat na službu, pronajmou vlastně kompletní service už to není, takže byste si ho mohli úplně sami nainstallovat. Další plagin, který se dá použít na WordPress e-shop je, ten měl, když jsem začal do vukomers, tak jsem ho skoušel, ten měl jednu dobu, poměrně služně našlápnu to, především kvůli tomu, že byl stavien trošku jinak, než vukomers více programátorsky, i když vukomers za tu dobu už šla velký pus cesty, tak v té době, když jsem si začínal, tak vvpe e-commerce vypadala poměrně zajímavě, byly na to i nějaké doplnky, dokonce, proto českém prostředí existují i platební brány, jak si ukážeme dál, ale myslím si, že jediná relevantní konkurence vukomers, nebo alternativá, je Easy Digital Download, což je plagin, který oprati vukomers se speciálizuje pouze na proti digitalních produků, takže když budete prodávat e-buky, budete prodávat třeba nějaké audio na hrátky a podobně, tak se dá říct, že Easy Digital Download je poměrně služně zpracovaný plagin, a České republice existuje jedna firma, která pro něj prodává doplnky. A pak je tady samozřejmě vukomers, o který si budeme povídat, protože vukomers je to, co mě živí, to, co dělám, vlastně neustále, a dá se říct, že pokud chcete opravdu funcí nějakého návodpressu, tak jedně tento plagin. To byla jen taková zaxísbací část, kdy jsem vám ukázal, které máte možnosti, jsou sice nepravděpodobné, ale pokud se tady budeme vám být po vukomers, tak vukomers České republice má několik specifik nebo problému, který musíte nežišit. Když si na instalujete, když si vytvoříte e-show návodpressu, tak nenou zistíte, že potřebujete mít napojení lokalní služby. Poznala, a potřebujete mít napojení do pravce, musíte mít do pravce, který úsobí tady v České republice, potřebujete mít platební brány, který úsobí tady v České republice, potřebujete mít lokalizovaný ten e-show, což je velký problém. Řada e-showku nemám plně přeložený přechnout do Češtiny, při aktualizacích se spoustavě cí. Je problém specifické chování zákazníků, což je typické v České republice do bírka. Další problém, který začnete řešit, především pokud máte, pokud chcete prodávat to zahraničí, tak je absence hvízu nebo centu, to znamená, že na Slovensku prodáváte. Z dvěmi desetinami Český republice prodáváte na celou korunu. Tak tady máte EET, který musíte řešit. Další specifika České republice, protože ten náš trh e-shopový je podměrně zláštní, a zistíte, že to, co řešíte tady ve Státech nebo v Británii řešit, no budete. Říkali jsme, že jedním z těch specifik jsou platední metody, který se používají Český republice. Pokud budete právě na západ, tak použijete Stripe a máte řešenou. Ale v Český republice těch platedních metod je víc. Je tady poměrně rozšířený GP WebP, což je vlastně firmá, která má, která provozuje platbu platednými kartami pro komerční banku. Myslím, že pro rejfajzeníku a pro spozitelu. Bylo to i pro ČS-OB, ale ČS-OB se z toho s toho systému výmula a udělali si vlastní plug-in. Pokud chcete mít platední karty od ČS-OB, tak mají na GitHub to dármo plug-in pro vůkomers. Tady by chtěl říct, mý vám často telefonáty, kdy mi volejí klienti a tají se, jaký plug-in si mají koupit. To je přesně obráceně. Vy máte ĈS-OB, to znamená, že obchodujete, prodáváte, jste obchodníci. Jsi musíte menežersky zdůvodní. Proč chcete spolupracovat z nějakou bankou nebo z nějakým poskytovatelem těch platedních metod? Oni vám dají nějaké podmínky. Vemte si, že já používám gopej na svém webu, protože mám na pluginy 100% maržit. Co prodám, to je moje. Z toho, když mi gopej se bude dvě procenta, tak mi to je jedno. Jeden můj klient prodával na výkační přístroje do větroju. Tam jsou tím maržet tak nízký, že koby pro něj byl naprosto nepoužitelný. Takže ten postup musí bejto vráceně. Máte nějakou banku, zistěte si, jestli ta banka nabízí nějaký karetní systém, zistěte si, jaký vám dají platední, jaký vám dají podmínky na pojení na váš e-shop. Kromě bank je v České republice, kdy z pozici gopej, dpej, comgate plus ještě nějaký další společnosti, který se teď objevili, a to jsou společnosti, který zahrnujou nožinu online-plate. To znamená, že tam máte kromě platevních karet, tam máte online převody, gopej tam má ještě nějakou sasku a podobní věci a to samý má dpej. Takže v tu chvíli, kdy to chcete mít všechno pohromadě a nechcete to řešit bokem, jakoby dalšíma plaginama nebo dalším na pojením, tak se vám vyplatí uzavřit slouhu z některou těch společnosti. Kromě České republice má ještě vlastní platední plagin fio banka, což je systém také estonské firmy je poměrně zastarelý a plagin oproti česobé je poměrně špatně napsaný. Musím říct, že i když má fio vlastní API, který vám umožňuje komunikovat z bankovním učtem přímo z eShopu tak zase na druhou stranu česobéčko má na GitHub vlastní vyky v platevní bráně. Takže pokud bych měl doporučovat když potřebojete víc platedních metod kromě karty tak gopej a pak se rozhodujte podle banky když máte fio tak fio když česobéčko česobéčko když máte rajsku nebo komerčku tak gp ve pej tak dál do pravci v České republice je to jasný tady má dominanci Česká pošta a na Český poště tak když potřebojete balík do ruky balík na poštů a potom do výrku budete řešit kromě Český poště je tady konkurence její konkurence záselkovná a loženka plus Český pobočky zahraničí chrém jako je PPL in-time, DHL a další kromě těch let těch chrém do pravců které vlastně ještě kromě do pravy do ruky balík do ruky ještě každé z nich má většinou nátíte své parcel šopy a podobný záselkov záselkovno pojíty a podobný věci tak je tady ještě balíkobot který vlastně združuje víc těch let do pravců možně vám se tisknou štítky a existuje pro balíkobot i plugin do vůkomers no a potom kdych budete provozovat a ještě přes tí republice tak vám samozřejmě učetní řekne a bych ty faktury a ty v oběnávky potřeba dostat nejvíc do pohody kromě pohody je tady několik dalších systémů ale vy se v realu pokud nejste v podniku který používá prostě nějaký svůj systém který tady není uvedený tak se setkáte pohoda many abra a od časem když nebudete používat tyto systémy tak se vám můžu stát, že na jednou budete řešit na pojení na tyto online klubu tyto online služby jsou v podstatě asi je všichni znáte nebo většina z vás jsou v podstatě nějaký fakturačí systémy kde jste schopný vytvořit online PD fakturou a jste schopný poslat zákazů je to v podstatě fakturoj, fakturuj, který jsou identický no identický služby jsou prostě podobný jste z to konkurenti FAPI je trošku zvláštný případ protože to spadá do Tiershevy firmy 2.0 nebo jak se to menuje a oni to tlačí spíš do než na propuení s eShopama tak to spíš tlačí do toho svýho uzavřenýho systému kde vlastně mají udanit takýto kolečko FAPI, smart e-mailing a ta jejich šablona Myovep, děkuji Myovep takže to je trošku to je trošku specifická záležitost a pak idoklad což je taký fakturatí systém ten ale provozuje dívol developer Manny S3 a idoklad byl úplně skrila záležitost do pídoby nežto skoplatnily Já mám třeba hrozný problém s tím, že ta firma nená bízí vývojářům s dharma přístup do api To znamená, že pokud já chci dělat nějaký aktualizace na svém plaginu tak to řeším přímo s klientami protože si nebudu platit druhý nejvyšší tarif půli tomu, aby děl ročně 3 nebo 40 aktualizace plaginu Ale jinak to fungoval úplně perfektě Zase na druhou stranu výhodou těhletně fakturatí systému je že mají spracovaný nějaký export třeba do pohdy idoklad samozřejmě má export do many Takže pokud máte many tak je idoklad docela slučnou volbou i když je placený Tak a jaký teď máte jaký máte vlastně možnosti možnosti pro plaginy v České republice Já jsem se snažil já jsem se snažil najít kromě bukomér jsem se snažil najít nějaký firmy který v České republice poskytou nějaký službě nebo plaginy pro Jimmy pod presové e-shopy a našel jsem akorát pro easy digital download nějaký plativní brány pro WP e-commerce a asi zřejmě něco pro e-go-shop ale to si teď na tomatí ta firma o který chci teď mluvit se menuje plativci CZ a tam se specialize na plativní brány ty plativní brány oni mají pro e-commerce WP e-commerce a G-go-shop a ostatní open source postatě ne dělají nic jiného jenom dělají plativní metody ty plativní metody jsou od GO-P přes GP-WP až po různí zplátkoví firmy myslím, že tam mají e-sox nebo cetelem a především kromě WordPress plaginu tam mají OpenCard Presta-shop nejsem si jistý jestli tam mají magento ale teď teď tam mají 100% takže to je postatě jediná firma České republice která se specializuje na vývoj plativních metod pro OpenSource e-shop potom jsem se snažil najít něco pro easy digital no, on ten plagin se mě to celé líbí protože nemí tak robustní jako vukomers pokud prodáváte nějaké jednoduché elektromické produkty tak je to mělně vhodí našel jsem pouze firmu Cleverstar která která má párování s film má tam plativní bránu pro GO-P má tam nějaké cifické bankovní převod pro easy digital download a napojení na Mautik oni to mají oni to mají jako by něco podobné jako když si tak stavíte tu firmu 2.0 odpěrše, že mají vlastně mají vlastně mail web smart e-mailing a to FAPI tak vlastně ten easy digital download Mautik a její plaginy udělají podobní kolečko prostě jo to je jediná firma kterou jsem našel pokud samozřejmě někoho znáte kdo se zabívá tímhle tím plaginem budu jenom rád protože občasně na to klientí ptají a klidně dá dopojučení pokud tady je někdo kdo výví proto na ten plagin doplníky no a tady jsme se dostali vlastně kukomens která je která je podle mího názoru jako WordPress e-shop úplně nejlepší je tam nejvíc doplníků v podstatě můžete použít i zahradíší doplníky existuje proto zpousta plaginů třeba neznám žádný český plagin který by ziltroval produkty takže můžete šáhnout pro neznierný množství plaginů který jsou zahradníčí a zároveň proto existuje i řada plaginů pro český prostředí dá se zít dá se říct nejlepší záležitost pro vůkomer s českým prostředí pokud tady tady záměrně vinechávám svoj osobu tak jsou české služby což je ve separatistátečka ne je programátorem je Pavel Heijn a to je specialní plagin který se snaží do sebe zahrnout co nejvíc českých služep jako je jako jsou exporty na Heureku na zboží na Google nákupy častičnou implementaci záselkovny je tam jsou tam na pojení na EET a další věci a podstatě to je dá se říct nejvíraznější záležitost pro vůkomer s českým republice kromě jo těch českých služep od separatisty bych ještě chtěl říct, že tu existuje Kibernault teď najměsí je to CZ nebu net a no tam jsou tam je plagin pro doplnění ICHA adage do pokladny vůkomer s protože vůkomer s pokladně nemá políčko pro ICHA adage zároveň se Karolina Vyskučilova stará o plagin pay for payment což je free plagin na WordPress.org který umoží se poplatnit platební metody U tohoto bych se chtěl zastavit a to říkám na každým skolením tady je potřeba v rámci toho, jak funguje pokladné ve vůkomer říct, že dobírka není do prava dobírka je prostě doběrečný to na místě zaplatíte a pokud vlastně spoplatnujete dobírku tak spoplatnujete platební metody protože do prava je fut stejná do pravci je česká a poštá a bude zaplatíte předem a nebo zaplatíte na dobírku a tu platební metodu musíte spoplatit a ten platim pay for payment jes darman na WordPress.org Karolina se ho ujmula výví ho dál protože byl tím vývojářem který ho dál nej a umožděje vám každou platební metodu spoplatně přidat tam nějaký připlatek fíčko tak abyste mohli jednoduše implementovat dobírku tak ešte těm českým službám pozod na to pokud si to stáhnete z WordPress.org tak si stáhnete nefungční verzi funkční verzi na GitHub kde si musíte stáhnout prostě zip na installovat tam to Pavel aktivně výví tak o těch bylo jsem tady těch učitých programech pohodla many a podobně osobně jsem skoušel vyvěnout plug-in pro pohodu ale narazel jsem na některé věci které mě tam moc nefungovali takže v České republice bych řekl, že existuje akurat shopping který se tím intensivně zabývá a který vám vlastně udělá funkční napojení na pohodu a na many a na abru mám to u jednoho klientáto je nasazené funguje to bez problému aktualizujou si aktualizujou si web přímo z pohody to znamená že mají dva weby pohodě vedou kompletní spladové hospodářství z pohody se aktualizuje jeden web my jsme jim udělali přesres api můste na další web a tam se prostě rozkopírovávaj ty další další produkty já jsem když si měl aukro xml feed export ale po tom co udělali po tom co udělali ten redesign tak jsem už nepatral protože to aukro vypadalo úplně přišel někotom redesignu takže tohle tu chvíli vůbec netuším jo pokud tam něco je tak to bude 100% zase nějakým importem csv sombru nebo xml a to se dá řeší přes vp o export což je placený plug-in a ty firmy která má vp o import a vy si můžete vlastně nadefinovat jaký xml nebo csv v jakim formátu ho vy exportujete no ale otázka já si to platí teď jo, protože vlastně předtím to bylo jednoduchý protože tam měli nějaký rozhraní který pak zrušili teď udělali kompletní redesign a dal už vlastně neviměslím aukro nějakou možnost importu teď bych se chtěla zmínit ešteho další firmě kterou můžete případně vůžít když budete potřebovat nasadit nějakou platekonotodu jsou to slováci Zabikonu ten web se neme platopné brány SK platiny GP, WP a Kopej můžete použít ty pročeský prostředí potom tam máte k dispozice spoustu dalších dalších platepích metod který jsou tam měření na Slovensku tímle tím krátkým tímle tím krátkým vyčtěm možností který máte jsme se dostali k mojí osobi provozují web toret.cz kde mám platiny pro platepní metody pro dopravní metody mám tam eksporty na srovnávače plus další a další platiny který který sem vyvinul i ich zádově asi 50 snažím se nějakým způsobem postižnout všechno co potřebujete k tomu, abyste mohli sprovozni e-shop na vůkomers když se tak vezme tak moc možností České republice nemáte pokud si to samozřejmě nenaprogramujete samé což je což se dá poměrně pro běžního kvhb programátora to nikdy na stech složitá záležitost na programovat plug-in pro vůkomers protože dokumentace je poměrně podrobná a existuje i spoustaná vodu jak postupovat přovat suvitváření platemních brán nebo ovliněvání cen v e-shopu tohle to byl tohle to byl riflice hled pokud má někdo nějaké dotazy tak bych určil mikrofon je to slyšet teď to bylo slyšet jo já zopakují otázku jakou šablonu deporučují pro vůkomers záleží na tom a záleží na penězích vždycky je to prostě o penězích pokud na ten e-shop máte minimun peněz tak je pro vás úplně nejednodušší záležitost koupitci když nevím pro svou do toho drugého mikrofonu že ho nejednodušší záležitost je koupitci šablonu na Tem Forest já nejsem panantické odkupce těhle těch premiovej k šablon protože každý zboží má svýho kupce musíte se smířit s tím že když koupíte šablonu na Tem Forest dostanete s tím hromadu balastu s té limitovaným tím co si koupíte jo to je prostě když si koupíte škodovku nemáte proč jo takže idealní šablona je Storefront od vůkomers nebo 20 něco jakákoliv šablona od WordPress a na na programovací vlastně nebo na kodovací ten zlecám tady je třeba říct, že u těch premiovej k šablon jsou takové krásný náledky ready for vůkomers to je marketingovej tach to můbec neplatí vůkomers je postavená takový vůsobem že vám bude fungovat na každých šabloni ty cúbory které potřebuje k tomu aby se zobrazilá jsou umístěný v tom plug-inu a když nejsou v šabloně tak si je vezmestnou plug-inu jediný co tak vám můžu vypadat trošku jinak plačítka vlado nebo může ten stil bejt malinko jinací na každý WordPress šabloně bude vůkomers fungovat pokud tam samozřejmě nejsou nějaký nějaký PHP chyby nebo něco takový od co by zde možnilo výkreslení tej šablony ale jinak vám to prostě bude fungovat na začátek vám bude stačit divílejte draho patrně nepotřebujete 3 slayvry mít v šabloně nepotřebujete mít tisíc do pliků pokud máte peněz dost nebo si to můžete udělat sami použíte z torfrontem něco pohovíha co potom než to nebo je stačit stačit jak? konkrétní příklad no už ta konkrétní šablon na tom ten forest když si vezmou šablonu s tím forest a nebude stačit no a když už ještě jako by už ten potenciáty už bude prostě jako fulno v tom případě v tom případě musíte mít na to víc ten jest jako peníze peníze by třeba nebyli problém ale jako co radíte potom pokračovat pokud nejsou peníze pro plan tak je úplně nejideálnější vzít šablonu která toho má v sobě co nejmí když si to vezmete kolem a kolem tak vy potřebujete mít kdy potřebujete mít nějakou úvodní stránku většina těch úvodních strán e-shopu je se stavená pomocí nějaký build růz nějakých shortcodů a nebo to jsou třeba je to co to výpis nějakých produktů jsou to nějaké banery a obrázky potřebujete mít výpis produktů jako katalog nevá kategoriá tyto věci potřebujete mít detail produktů korshým a pokladm děkobná stránka je součástí pokladmě no tohle to pozor to děkobná stránka ve vůkomerce není samostatná stránka je to součást pokladmě nic víc nepotřebujete a to všechno vám je schopné to všechno vám je schopné slušné koder prostě na stylovat pokud řeknete pokud řeknete že potřebujete mít já jsem si tady veden takový e-shop takový hrusný obyčejí šabloně zdarman pokud řeknete že potřebujete že tam potřebujete informaci o tom že zboží vám přiveze ppl. a že ho budete chtít umístit no jen z tady tak do nás kukáme si tady není ukazová v tom této a budete ho chtít umístit pod to tlačítko přijad do košiku tak pod tým tlačítkem v šabloně v tom sluboru šablony je hook je tam nějaká akce a vy jste schopný do toho místa zavězit funkci která to zobrazí to vám udělá programátor a je to je to kot na nějakých osmřátku jo ale ten programátor stojí nějaký peníze kdež to v té šabloně z tom forest to může být zakompovený a nemusí jo a je za 60 dolarů to je o tom o čem jsem mluvil když budete vy peníze poříte si podera poříte si programátora a pak není problém nic protože řeknete řeknete mi nějaký příklad to je úplně nejlepší řeknete nějaký příklad jsme na workshop já vám řeknu jak to funguje když jsem to tam ten programátor udělá nebo co můžete použit? tak my připravíme teďka třeba výt se jako verzi do zahraničím postavit ten web na tý zahraniční doméně tak dál už tam máme de facto všechny plug-iny od vás co se týče do pravy a tak dál ale teďka je nejnudější a nejdychlejší verze aby jsme pokročili se dál a že šablon na už nás jako vomizuje co se týče toho dalšího postupu boje to hlavně pomalí ten web dobré když se budeme bavit když teď odvočíme a budeme se bavit o rychlosti existuje několik existuje několik věcí který bukomers limituje a to je například to jsou například vlastnosti protože bukomers je strašně hloupě spracovaný generování vlastností kdo neví co to jsou taxonomie výborně taxonomie je zjednodušeně kategorie příspěchu máte příspěchu a taxonomie je kategorie když se pomocí bukomers vytvořen produkt tak tomu produktu jsou vytvořené dvě taxonomie kategorie produktu a štítek produktu a když chcete udělat barjanty produktu musíte vytvořit jeho vlastnosti problém je v tom že každá vlastnost je další taxonomie to znamená, že vy vytvoříte vlastnost barva a k těm dvou těm dvou taxonomím v štítku a kategorie přidáte taxonomii P.A. barva tam je ta předpona P.A. vytvoříte taxonomii velikost tak máte P.A. velikost a pokud těch taxonomí vytoříte moc tak vám to ten e-shop začne spomalovat mám to vyskoušenou nezáleží na tom kolik máte na tom webu produktu když tam máte 400 000 produktů tak to bude chcungovat ale když tam budete mít 3000 taxonomí což jsme se pokoušeli na importovat takový železářty a tam máte u každého šroubku máte 10 vlastností u každé majtíčky další 10 vlastností tak nám to prostě skolabomalo to je jedna věc kde je v úkomer spomalo druhá věc moc JavaScript pokud tam našvěcháte prostě plug-iny který budou který budou dělat různí pop-upy který budou dělat různí který budou dělat různí filtrování a budou tam spát tohoto JavaScriptu strašně moc to provádění ty vomový stránky se spomali a pak obrázky to je největší to je největší úraz všechny webu a nejenom e-shopu prostě když má ta stránka dvě mega tak se vám nestáhné rifle na počítači a vodil se vám stáhné na mobilu tohoto je to největší kámen úraz takže větší na Shablon se dá poměrtně dobře zrychlit zkešovacinu plug-iny ale je to o tom že ty stem forestů tam mají spoustu blbostí spoustu blbostí načítají spoustu JavaScriptu spoustu CSS souboru a cpou velký obrázky částičně vina i na úživatelích protože pokud ten pokud ta Shablona nějaký obrázky uživotel tak typicky uživotel se nezabívá tím jak to ve Photoshopu nebo v nějakým online nástoji zmenčit na co mají nejmenší za toho velikost prostě tam bohnit dvou megavý obrázek nebo toho obrázek tam je hodnoto možil takhle to je prostě takto to prostě funguje takže pokud je orychlost zaměřil bych se zaměřil bych se co nejmenší velikostránky co nejmenší externích souborů samozřejmě pokud budete mít hotl-top 2 tak tak je ten problém menší ale samozřejmě není to samostásný a no programátor je schopný vám třeba udělat i to že javascriptový soubory který nepotřebujete na účitý stránce je schopný odregistrovat to vevod presulze odregistrovat nalinkované stily a javascripty protože vy nepotřebujete načítat javascript pro evolution slider na detailu produkty to nepotřebujete pokud si s tím chcete hrát až na takový tak úrovni tak doporučujú plug-in který se mené myslí plug-in organizer plug-in organizer a ten umožňuje nadefinovat pro každou stránku pro každý produkty sadu pravidel který vypí najrůzní plug-iny vy nepotřebujete vy nepotřebujete mít tady zapnutej product filter pokud ho nemáte třeba v sidebaru jo pokud ho používáte jenom na výpisu produků tak o tady nepotřebujete tady zapnutej a ten plug-in organizer toho umožňuje tohle je to údělá další dotazy nezajdu pro mikrofon když jsem viděl ruku já předpokáram že ten bukomers byl vyvěn hlavně pro e-shopie které mají gotové produkty třeba tričkáre produkty které nebo tak já se zeptá mi bukomersk něčemu pokud mám jakoby produkty které se generují na základě toho co ten uživatel zadá jakou třeba čás početce stojících uletenek a podobně a případně celom místo bukomers byl mi tohle to navod z persu umožňo bukomers umožňuje bukomers umožňuje nadefinovat to vlastný typ produkty to znamená, že vy, když nakledat bukomers tak máte jednoduchý produk variantní produkty máte se skupený produk a máte externí produkty ale by si můžete vytvořit vlastný typ produkty a využívá toho na cíklad plug-in bukomers booking který vytváří který vytváří produkty který je určený pro rezervaci to znamená, že máte, že ten produk má trošku jinou sadu dat než normální běžný produkty je tam možný zadat cikli je tam možný zadat cenu za to časový období a na detálu produktu na detálu produktu vy jste schopný si zanormálně zaregistrovat zaregistrovat oddy do kdy chcete mít rezervaci a zaplatit ty takže vlastně dá se naprogramovat odlatně ten měř cokoliv dělal jsem teď plug-in pro rezervaci rezervaci nějakého filmerského vybavení kdy bylo potřeba počítat na jehodiny ale na táčecí dny a jde to prostě udělat takže si můžu definovat pro různá období různé ceny no to záleží na tom to záleží samozřejmě na tom jak se to naprogramovat že jo odlatně dá se udělat dá se udělat ten měř cokoliv pokud řeknete že potřebujete mít produk který bude mít na určitý období různou cenu tak já vám pocit že i ten let konkrétně ten hookomers booking to umí idy vy si nadefinujete různý nadefinujete si třeba zimu jo když řekneme budeme se bavit opronajmu třeba nějakém pensionu nadefinujete si zimní období kdy ta cená za ten ciklus bude vyšší než třeba letním období nebo mezi sezóně děkuju já vám dva do ta zimu že oba samozřejmě v něco nejvíce trápí je nějaký člänství bebu.comers kdy já vám skupinu klientů kterým chci nabídnout něco víc než komukoliv jiným a nechci aby to ten krokoliv jiný běžný návštivník stránek viděl doposlavať sem objevila vukomers memberships a private content jako dva plug-iny který se my zdáli že by tohle mohli řešit a teď úplně nejsem schopná jakoby posoudit který z jich je lepší, horší nebo je si existuje nějaký třeba ubec jiný nemám tohle vyřešený je to otevřená otázka to je první věc a druhá věc je že u toho e-shopu potřebuju často dvořit jakoby duplicitní stránku na testování všechny aktualizací a podobně si mi to nerozhodí celý zbytek webu a tak tak jestli to řešit plug-inem nebo ručním prostě na hráváním přes ft. a podobně dobře takže nejprve k tomu membership je to tak že WTEMS coše firma která stojí má ty plug-iny zpracovaní nejdí nejdí z toho pohledu že spolupracují vlastně s celým tím vůkomer systému znamená pokud máte membership od WTEMS který je samozřejmě nejdraší tak tam je naprost tam je minimální možnost toho, že to bude kolidovat z nějakým jiným plug-inama perfektně tam funguje o platby má membership vyskoušený funguje to popravdu dobře pokud byste měli hledat nějaký levnější alternativ tak doporučím buy items což že se to y něké i EMS TMS což je firma která se specializuje na vůkomer z plug-iny a tam najdete jedit tam najdete vlastně levnější kopie těch plug-inů z WTEMS no a pak poslední záhrana kod kenion ale tam už musíte prostě skoušen tam se může stát plug-iny které se tam koupíte jsou od různých vývojářů je tam spousta Indu Turku a podobně takže může se stát že plug-iny které na installete tak budou spolu kolidovat pokud použijete plug-iny od WTEMS tak vám to fungovat bude ale jsou poměrně drahý jo myslím že ty plug-iny se pohyvou někde dolarujete no co se týkáte druhé otázky toho aktualizování buď musíte sledovat to co se děje webu commerce nebo musíte mít nějakýho partnera na kterého se spolehní proznamená tím myslím můžete mít ty in-house vývojáře můžete mít svího webmástra který se vám o to bude starat ale v žádným případě byste neměli aktualizovat na provozním webu vždycky byste měli mít vytvořený když to chcete testovat tak byste měli mít vytvořený nějaký testovací web kde si ty aktualizace vyskoušíte musíte mít zálohování to znamená doporučují a používám a draft plugin kterým všechno zálohu při jakýkoliv aktualizaci na Dropbox a kdykoliv tu změnu můžete tům jenom můžete podí aktualizaci vrátit vy nejste schopná posoudit nebo možná sepletu ale jako provozovatel e-shopu není schopné posoudit to které byla tedy nedávno tak proč se mu proč se mu rozsypala celá šablona proč na jednou e-shop nefunguje jo může to být půli tomu že ta šablona kterou používá tak kterou jste koupili na koutkenninu jako třeba fletcom to se teď bavíme o konkrétných věcech protože to se teď nedávno stalo kdybyla aktualizace na ksucinula šablona fletcom neměla správno aktualizaci a po aktualizaci to byli jste schopná odchytit oni okamžitě kualizaci stáhly zůstala tam 3-2 3-2-4 nebo 3-2-6 ta zůstala a vydali nějakou opravu 3-3-1 vlastně o týden pozdějím takže v každém případě bych doporučoval mít vývojové web prostě udělaci subdoménu která bude třeba která bude zamezený přístup nebo nebude indexovatelná nebo na lokálu a všechny aktualizace v komersi skoušet tam tentasí, že není to tak dlouho co byla verze 2-6 která byla zpětně nekompatibilní protože tam přišli dopravní zhony teď přišli verze 3-0 která byla zpětně nekompatibilní protože se změnili se změnil se kod ve třídách takže na jednou v šabolách vyskakovali prostě hromady hlášení o tom, že jsou zastralí metody jako dobré věci takže pokud chcete mít v komers tak měli byste mít někoho kdo vám s tím bude pomáhat nepo se co mu prostě musíte vynovat na naplno WordPress prostě takový dle je jo, to není tak jako říč máte krabiclu řešení ještě nějaké dotazy tak já tedy začnout a já se snažím nebo spíš lidi co z nám tak i mají poptávku proto, aby jejich produkty byli prodávatelné docel Evropy a tady si vždycky setkávám zhradou problémů jako třeba například musí tam být překlat do například všech jazyků v Evropě to je jeden z prvních problémů kdy třeba samotná šablona ne musí podporovat ten překlat protože si toší komně dejí nějak data báza že ty plug-inistí neumílo spracovat takže to je asi první problematika a druhá třeba jestli to řešit a nějakým multisitem v WordPressu když jedna multisite a je tam třeba i dosť velký problém z Maltic Clarency tak váta měna kde euro, koruná a kdo více všechno ještě třeba v Evropě tak více jazyků a více měn bevukomers obecně je problém pohodunosti provozovatů a spodně teda z měho názor z měho pohledu nejpoužívanější plug-in pro vytváření jazyků kterých verzích e-shopů je WPML a to jenom z toho důvodu z toho důvodu že všechno vědní administraci já osobně si myslím že nejideálnější postup je mít mouty instalaci a pro každou jazykovou verzi mít udělané vlastní e-shop a to z toho důvodu že WPML velmi zatěžuje velmi zatěžuje rychlost toho webu ale pokud tohle to řeknu zákazníkovi tak mi odpoví no ale to já se budu muset přepínat z Češtiny budu muset i do jiné administrace tak si to bude vždyte na další záležce ne no ale to bude moc složitý to bude trvat moc času no tak v sklopřípadě je řešení WPML máte všechno vědní administraci všechno si celožite a ten web bude mít větší větší nároky na server bude on něco pomalejší ale budete mít pohomit WPML zároveň umí řešit i ty měny když to uděláte na mouty instalaci tak tohle to můbec řešit ne musíte protože každá ta instalace má vlastní nastavení v komers poznamená vlastní nastavení měny a vy si jenom pomocí pomocí plaginu ten na který si leď nemůžu spoměnout jak se mohuje si jenom spárujete ty produkty to znamená, že na stránce to vypadá jako kdybyste futbyli na jedný stránce když jste na detailu produkty kliknete na vláječku jiného jazyka a ono vás to přesměruje na tu jinou stránku to je jako v rámci v rámci mouty instalaci ale ty stránky jsou prosto spároveny má to vyšší na roky na tu správu protože si musíte musíte se prostě přepínat jedný administraci do druhé nebo si to musíte otevřít na více záložkách a na druhou stranu to zase je rychlejší protože vlastně vysy můžete nebo nemáte tam to VPML a jsou tam jenom ty nezbytní plaginy které potředujete co si týká v třiřinku a ještě jenom odpovím na tu lokalizaci co si týká těch překladů tak musíte rozlišovat dvě věci musíte rozlišovat obsahovat záležitost to znamená názvy a teksty těch produktů nebo uložení nastavení těch plaginů ono i nastavení plaginů je jako by obsahovat záležitost jako z toho nepohledu a pak je tady druhá část která je v kodu v kodu plaginů v kodu WordPressu v kodu Google Comics kterou musíte překládat pomocí P.o. soudu ale logicky samozřejmě pokud chcete mít eShop pro víc zemí pro víc jazyku tak ho musíte překlávat multi-installace umožňuje i mapování domén to znamená že vy můžete mít přeba de doménu pro německou tu mutaci jo tam není samozřejmě při tím při tý instalaci vy si zvolíte vy si zvolíte jakoby základný tvár tý domény a to je bůti že to je subdoméná jako křeba de e tečka shop tečka cz nebo em tečka shop tečka cz a nebo pod složka to znamená shop tečka cz tlomenu de ale na tomu ty instalaci se tady na mapování domén jo to znamená že můžete mít úplně jinou doménu můžete mít třeba já nevím obojky pro pejský cz a pak nějaký nemecký nemecký nás jo no já myslím že už jsme pomalo do Černpalej čas ešte má někdo nějaký dotaz já ešte může se rychle zeptat existuje nějaká varianta pro skledový hospodářství v tom vůku MERS nebo hrači zvláště tak skledový hospodářství v jakým smyslu jako veloženě evident se toho skladu a pohyby vlastně skladu a tak dále nebo jestli skledový hospodářství má vymáte vlastně když si zaplete skladu nebo skladu takový jednoduchý máte tam početku když máte skladem a to se při objednávkách odečítá pokud byste chtěli řešit skledový hospodářství kde máte co uskledený pokud máte více skladu já mám jeden takový jednoduchý plagin který umožnuje editovat tu početku su skledem hromadně v takový velký tabulce a pak je ešte vývo jeden plagina který jsem narazil je český opůvodu vyvího človek který mi říkala se tady se mnou potká ještě jsem ho nepotkál a ten vypadá velmi kvalitě já na něm určitě budu ksát na blogu který umožnuje který umožnuje právě řešit to kde to máte uskledený bo to znamená že můžete mít sklady u eksterných dodavatelů a ono vám to řeší nejenom to, že se vám odečítají kusy, produktu přímo na tom e-shopu ale že se vám to odečítá odkud se to jako vy odebrali jo ale boužel jsem toho človeka a zatím nepotkálte ještě nevím jak přesně ten plagin fuduje se hlásí aha tak přímo potkál takhle

Unizor - Trigonometry - SIN and COS mix

I'd like to address a more complex trigonometric function, which can be represented as a linear combination of sine and cosine functions: f(x) = a·cos(x)+b·sin(x) In its original form the behavior of this function is not exactly clear. But, after a proper transformation, you will see that the behavior is absolutely similar to that of the behavior of sin(x) or cos(x). Obviously, the function we are analyzing has at least one coefficient, a or b, not equal to zero. Otherwise its behavior is trivial as it represents a constant 0. Now consider a point A on a coordinate plane with coordinates A={a/√(a²+b²), b/√(a²+b²)}, that is a point with abscissa equal to a/√(a²+b²) and ordinate equal to b/√(a²+b²). Since a/√(a²+b²) + b/√(a²+b²) = 1, this point A lies on a unit circle. Let φ be the central angle inside that unit circle that corresponds to this point A. Then from the definitions of sine (ordinate of the corresponding point) and cosine (its abscissa), we can say that cos(φ)=a/√(a²+b²) and sin(φ)=b/√(a²+b²). Let's use this in the analysis of our trigonometric function. Multiplying and dividing this function by √(a²+b²), we obtain: f(x) = = √(a²+b²) · · [a·cos(x)/√(a²+b²) + + b·sin(x)/√(a²+b²)] Replacing a/√(a²+b²) with cos(φ) and b/√(a²+b²) with sin(φ) where the angle φ was defined above, we get: f(x) = √(a²+b²) · · [cos(φ)·cos(x)+sin(φ)·sin(x)]. The expression in square brackets is, of course, cos(x−φ). Therefore, the transformed expression for our function is f(x) = √(a²+b²) · cos(x−φ) Now it's clear that the behavior of our rather complex trigonometric function that is represented as a linear combination of sine and cosine is the same as that of basic trigonometric functions sin or cosine, that is it's waving and periodic. The only difference is a horizontal shift by some angle φ (it's value depends on coefficients a and b, as explained above using the coordinate plane) and vertical stretch by a factor √(a²+b²). Such functions are usually called sinusoidal.

GICFvZ8crYc

Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to InDesert Education. I would like to analyze the properties of one particular function, which is not a simple, not a basic trigonometric function like sine or cosine, but a mix of them those. So the function which I'm talking about is this one. That's supposed to be sine. So it's a linear combination of sine and cosine. Well, let's start from the beginning. Sine looks like this, more or less. So this is a period from 0 to 2 pi. This is pi. And then it repeats itself. Now, the cosine on the same period looks slightly different, something like this. This is a cosine. The linear combination of them, just looking at the formula, you cannot really predict the behavior of this. One function is going down, another is going up. At this point, they are going both down. I mean, it's really not really obvious how the whole behavior of the function would pan out. Now, the function sine by itself or a cosine, they have this waving behavior, their periodical. And on one particular period, it's a wave kind of thing. And sine is different from the cosine by basically a shift. You can obviously make sure that this is true by considering this identity, right? So they are actually different by a horizontal shift by pi over 2, left or right, depending on which one you're talking about. But this one is not really so obvious that the behavior would really be repeated. By the way, the behavior of sine and the cosine, this behavior of waving and being a periodic function is called sinusoidal, from the sine, sinusoidal. So both sine and cosine have this sinusoidal behavior. Now, question is about this one. So although this is not obvious, but I will prove to you that the behavior of this function is also sinusoidal. And here is how. First of all, it's obvious that we are not considering case when a and b both are equal to 0 at the same time, because the function would be equal to 0, and that's the trivial case. So if you get about this, a and b are not simultaneously equal to 0. But if one of them is equal to 0, then it's obviously a sinusoidal function. Now, what I will do is the following. I will multiply and divide this function by this non-equal to 0, because they are not simultaneously equal to 0 factor. That's the same thing, right? I multiply by square root of a squared plus b squared, and I divide it, the function, by the same factor. Factor is not equal to 0, as we have just stated. So there is nothing different, this function, than this function. Good. Now, let's consider these two numbers, a over a square root of a squared plus b squared, and b over the same square root. Let's consider a unit circle. Since this I will call a, this I will call b. Now, it's obvious that a squared plus b squared is equal to 1, right? a squared would be a squared over a squared plus b squared plus b squared over the same thing. You will add together the numerators, and you will have exactly the same as the denominator, a squared plus b squared, and they're not equal to 0. So this is an important property of these two numbers. Now, let's consider a point which has coordinates, a comma b. So a is abscissa, d is ordinate. Now, again, it's obvious that since sum of abscissa square plus ordinate square is equal to 1, then this point is supposed to be on a unit circle somewhere. Right? So this would be a, and this would be b. And since a squared plus b squared is equal to 1, so the difference from the 0 to our point is 1, so it's on the unit circle. All right. Now, every point on the unit circle corresponds to certain angle phi, right? And by definition, cosine of phi is equal to abscissa, which is a, and sine of phi is equal to ordinate, which is b. So this is, by definition, a cosine, and this is, by definition, sine of this angle phi. So my point is that no matter what a and b are given to you, these two numbers, which I call capital A and capital B, would correspond to a point on the unit circle, and therefore they correspond to an angle phi. The cosine and the sine of phi are equal to exactly these two expressions. Regardless of the choice of a and b, as long as they're not together at the same time equal to 0, we can always talk about the angle phi, which is uniquely determined by these two numbers, a and b. Because from a and b, I uniquely determine the capital A and capital B, these expressions. And these determine the point on the unit circle, and the point determines the angle. So it's all uniquely determined. So the uniquely determined angle phi corresponds to a choice of lowercase a and lowercase b, and the cosine and sine are actually these formulas. So this is all from definition of the cosine and the sine. Now, using this, let me just rewrite this particular formula in the following claim. f-attacks equals square root of a squared plus b squared. And here I will put cosine phi cosine x plus sine phi sine x. Since this is the same as this, and sine is the same as b over square root. Now, and this is very important now. This is the last step. This is a cosine of x minus phi. If you remember the formula, if you don't, go to the corresponding lecture in this course. It's in the same topic of sum of two angles. So this is the formula for cosine and sine. And obviously, we still have to preserve this multiplier. So our function, f-attacks, is equal to this, where phi is some angle uniquely defined by a and b coefficients. So now it's obvious that this particular function is a type of which has a sinusoidal behavior, because it's still a cosine. So how can we draw the graph of this function? We take the function cosine, then we shift it to the right by phi, whatever the phi is, and we can determine the phi using, again, a and b. So we know the cosine of phi, we know the sine of phi, we know everything. So we shift it by phi, and then we stretch it vertically. So this is the horizontal shift, and this is the vertical stretch by square root of a squared plus b squared. So my point is that this relatively, well, it's hard to imagine the behavior of this function just looking at the formula. Let's put it this way. But still, which is very remarkable, it still has this sinusoidal behavior. And that's what's interesting. Quite frankly, I was a little bit surprised when I first learned about this type of thing. There are some other classes of functions which, if you mix them together, then the result, the mixture, belongs actually to the same class. So sine and cosine basically are in this type of class, and the mixture means you linearly combine them together. So that's it for this particular lecture. It's a relatively short one, and I just wanted to present to this very interesting property that sinusoidal functions are kind of closed within themselves. So if you combine two sinusoidal functions, you still have a sinusoidal function. Now, it's a different question of what happens if you have different arguments. You see here, you have x and x. But what if you have x and 2x, or x and 2x plus 3, or something like this? This is a different case. And that actually already leads us to a little bit more complicated functions, not just the plain sinusoidal kind of functions. But if the arguments are the same, then you still have a sinusoidal function. All right, thank you very much. And don't forget that Unizor is a website which does not only provide the lectures like these, but it's also filled with many problems which you can solve. And also for educational process, it has exams. It has ability for supervisor or parents to enroll students into this or that particular topic, check the result of the exam, et cetera. So please use the site. That's very, very beneficial for you. Thank you very much and good luck.

giZdNnoTz68

So we're here at the narrow connect and so who are you? My name is Augustin Benito, and I'm the director of core development Which is a group of four teams that basically works in the kernel and in the security space of T Who are you? I'm Kunkoi. I'm the release manager. So when they have products once a month, we try to release them So you try to ask him some questions Go ahead So you were saying you were really passionate about what you are currently doing So can you tell a little bit more about what is the most fun thing the core group is doing right now? Okay, so we have quite a few we have quite a few topics that we are currently working probably The most popular one is EAS energy. We're scheduling. We are working with arm and in In the last stage of the what we can consider the the R&D process and we are starting what arms is Talking like as a product So it's productized basically Technology that they are and we are doing our part of the puzzle basically is changes the kernel scheduler to make it Summarizing it to make it more intelligent so you can put on top of it energy models that can Provide better power consumption rates It's big little required for that or will also work on only little only System with the big CPU in there. We are working at the kernel level and the kernel working at the kernel level means that we should be Architecture agnostic or platform agnostic. So the changes that linear is basically working on Obviously works for any architecture And it should be that way The point is that in this particular area arm Provides some very very interesting features that based on arms product can potentially provide And we think everything that we are doing tell us that will provide significant improvements to the current situation and provide an advantage a competitive advantage. So There are two different goals, right? Change the schedule for everybody in the kernel so everybody can take advantage and on the other side Enable to the arm ecosystem to take advantage again Of the superiority that has shown in in in some of the segments and and bring it to other new segments, right? Right? All right, so Can you talk a little bit about your background? Where do you come from? Okay? I am I I Basically, I come from the Canary Islands and I've been working in free software at the management or entrepreneurship level since 2003 and I've done several things first in Spain and probably Most of the people in Leonardo knows me because of my KD involvement or because my work as In open Susie as a basically product owner So you you said that there was something that people should Before we talking about something and you were saying he ran and talk about it. Why? No, no, no, no It's a it. I should talk about it. I've been talking about it quite a lot internally and In open Susie as a distribution was pioneering in in integration and pre-integration Testing among other areas, right? I was heavily involved in in this job that it's is right now Publicly available in the form of a tool that that has shown heavy improvements In the at the distribution level and that it's also a multi distribution and it's it's not the constraint to one distribution and I think that is one of those tools that can make a difference not just for Leonardo But for anybody that does integration builds integration that end up in builds that Needs to be widely used so pre-integration testing and post-integration testing. So the last few Months, I would say a couple of months. I've been Showing trying to show especially now that there are publicly available examples that that Can really be tested and confronted and I think it's the kind of tool that if we bring it to Leonardo It will make a difference in some of the complex use cases. We are doing of course Part of all our integration and pre-integration testing deals directly with hardware this tool This tool is modified. It works in our Emulated environment with QM but Yeah, I was heavily involved in in in the development of the tool and I would like to bring that Experience at my level not a technical level to and the guys that are behind the tool Are very knowledgeable and and I think they would be very interested in expanding the tool to our use case And especially to the arm ecosystem, which is which it would be completely new right having Testing tools With in a visual environment, I think it's something we don't have right and in some use cases Will be completely killer especially to explain people where things Why things or where things go wrong so they can determine why what why are doing wrong? So we work with canonicals with one to write we work with Davian. We work with Fedora we do builds for technologies that And the service space that all these areas can get a lot of benefit from this kind of tools We have and then integrate that into our own process Lava is is our star there, right? I think that That process in the design state that I went in open suicide would like to to experience it that also here so It's open source. It's it's it's so I think it's a kind of tool that that we can take advantage of there Are another examples of things that we can incorporate from other distributions That are also very good. I mean Fedora has Some services are very interesting for us open-build service is another interesting tool for us. So Yeah, it's We are we are doing a lot at the hardware level, but in emulator environments we can do a lot more

As you get ready for the opener on Sunday the five the starting five that you've got on the offensive line what's the confidence level in them and how do you think they've kind of come together through this through to this point yeah I think that there's been a lot of good things I think that there's you know like any other game or plays there's going to be ones that we wish we had back but I do see that the building a unit I think that the confidence level will be high you know we for everybody when we we get to Sunday you know we have to build that through the week and our preparation based on what what we think we're gonna get from the Saints and and how we want to play the football game what's the challenge like as you're prepared for week one with so many maybe unknowns well you have to be sound you know I think you have to be sound I don't think you can you know think that you're gonna there's gonna be some uncarted unscripted looks that defensively you're gonna have to you know defend there's there's gonna be some fronts and some things that we face from our you know offensively that we'll have to work through our rules whether that's a pressure or whether that's a it's a coverage adjustment but that always happens and making sure that we're sound and that we you know our operation and our execution substitution all those things are are good and that give you a chance to at least execute to play with a new quarterback you go you focus more on the Saints and the system that they run or do you go back and look at his tendencies from when he was the Raiders well I think probably with a veteran quarterback there's probably gonna be some concepts that you know he he you know Derrick really likes so that he's really comfortable with but you know also I think that there's an element to what the Saints have done and will do but I would imagine that there's some things that that Derrick's like through his his career that that he would want to put in there. I think Gibson was still a work in progress. What do you like about him and specifically maybe a three four six? A work in progress well man I think it's just a veteran it's a guy that's played in this league who's who's produced in this league and with it with a certain skill set and how he develops or how he you know acclimates himself to our program and what we're doing and as soon as he can determine a role well then we'll see where we go from there. Being on defense make it easier for a guy to get up to speed since you're kind of chasing the quarterback and and things like that. Yeah but there's also still responsibilities that you have to know and alignments that you have to understand and you know whether you're working with somebody else or games and you know so if it was just a base rush and we just line them up out there on one of the tackles that that would probably be easy to do but then you know there's just a lot more you know things that he'll have to know here you know hopefully sooner rather than later. Always how they respond to practice and you know he'll do he'll do more today and he's added more you know each day I would say since last week and it was diligent in his rehab and worked hard to get back so again we have a little longer week I have to be conscious that you know we're working our execution throughout the week but also you know being mindful that that it is a longer week and that we're we're ready to go for Sunday. You said a couple weeks ago about covering kicks being the hardest hardest thing but you guys blocking for the kickoff return. We can cover kicks I could cover kickoff. You know I mean that blocking thing right where you're dropping back and guys are hauling 20 miles an hour at you that's that's the hardest skill you know when you're dropping back and you have to you know turn around plant see our three loop behind our four you know going to get them backside block you know all those single blocks on the kickoff return is what's difficult and what shows up throughout the league right whether it's missing a block or a holding call or any of those things so that would be to me one of the tougher skills. Is that I don't want to say is there a frustration there but don't you learn one from the other. No because it's a completely different you know spatial where these are linebackers and safeties the majority of them sometimes there's a running back out there where you're you're you're going forward and you're attacking and you know it's a full pack covering a kickoff like a 40 yard pass rush right you're trying not to lose you know speed you're trying to stick and avoid as opposed to now you're playing offensive linemen with a lot of different space and a fast player so just because you can cover a kickoff I wouldn't say that that necessarily translates to being able to do it now you have to rep it and understand maybe understand how the guy is going to try to avoid based on your leverage or where the kick is some of that may be able to help but it's still getting it done without grabbing a guy or tackling them putting the pressure on them to do something that's very difficult to do well if you can cover them I mean if you have confidence with with with your group and being able to cover kickoffs certainly be able to pin them inside the 20 every yard matters yeah so we'll see how it goes you know what you've seen up to this point from your guys in practice in the preseason now that it's game week what do you want to see from this group this week well to continue to build momentum all the way up until the game through through our energy that we show up with work today like we have so far through our execution of practice you know that that's what the whole goal is is to is to continue to build momentum throughout the week well for any of us minutes it's a matchup you know me as a talented player whether they run the football with them or throw it to him creates plays in space so I saw it all over the preseason when he played screens or option routes or vertical routes and so I think that would have thought that would fall on everybody with this group you haven't really done that obviously in the preseason are you just interested how do you prepare them for it and how much we'll try to prepare for it and being able to you know handle the road environment we want you know with being excited to go out there and play but but also understanding that how we communicate and come off the football and and work with somebody next to us and everybody's communication and the operation so certainly will be important for us to practice it until I guess the first year guys about the bump and intensity and heightened awareness on everything in week one or maybe from the regular season just to change well we'll get there towards the end of the week you know I'll have conversations with them and you know those those players will have different conversations with them number two yet number two quarter no about captain's point let you know tomorrow with the quarterbacks just what do you want to see practice for making that decision you know I think a lot of it is based on the game plan you know about how we feel like who we'd step in there and help us and you know will's been out a little bit but excited to get him back this week and continue with with Malik's maturity and we'll kind of see where it goes at the end of the week so good on defense well there's sound a very good scheme they got very good players and veteran players that have continued to produce at a high level for a number of years you know cam Jordan tomorrow Davis honey badger lot of more you know mixed in with some some younger players you know Werner's excellent player you know Marcus may has been a very productive safety so they put pressure on a quarterback you know DeMario does a great job on on third down in that role and cam Jordan is constantly there you know grander sin and Turner hard chargers a lot of length on the outside so their sound and they have the ability to put pressure on your quarterback consistent track record of what he's done defensively over the years do you feel like you pretty much know what they're going to do or when it's week one do you also expect several wrinkles you'll see how the game evolves I'm sure they'll have some things that they've wanted to add over the course of the offseason but they have been very successful in what they do mixed coverages and they're pretty proficient post safety man post safety zone split safety so they you'll you'll see all of those and and they do a nice job with them how much more well suited is Aaron now and comfortable in the middle and what's the kind of expectation for him as the pivot kind of the center I think he's very comfortable I think that he's taken leadership role in that room and communicating up the line of scrimmage and working with the quarterbacks and I think that that's something that we expected and you hopefully will continue to to be a great fit for him yeah hasn't kicked all that much I'm able to you know again I like what Nick is as a person and as a professional and you know has a plan for how much he wants to kick as a as a veteran player that's you know kicked a lot in his career coming off the field a lot for you guys but you've got more numbers at that position do you anticipate trying to manage his snaps a little bit more maybe as he comes back here yeah I mean hopefully right I mean I think that as we get more players that that can can rotate and sub in there and be you know productive and I think that that that's something that could happen Lars can you work some of Derek's bar strength? I think just his comfort level running the offense his operation decisiveness knowing where to go with the football so athletic enough to avoid pass rush but but also scrambles to throw so that's you know his ability to see the post snap movement rotation I know where he wants to go with football and be indecisive it's just about being sound I think it's about not chasing ghosts yeah you can prepare for a lot of different things but you also have to commit to something and practice it and then also be willing to adjust and be ready to adjust based on what you're seeing and how the game's going Kevin how does the mood change now that it's game week and you know that there's a game that counts on Sunday yeah I just think the energy is just a little bit ramped up a little bit obviously guys are able to get home spending time with family but now I think the excitement level just raises up just everything that we're doing personally as a team your routines are set people are lifting a little bit more weights people just doing a lot more because you obviously know that you know it is game week and I think everybody's excited and and you know about to kick off this long journey to the Super Bowl you're a big communications guy so what the special do you try to do this week to integrate the new guys that into this defense you know whether it's guys who just got here like Gibson or even guys that have been here all off season like or yeah I don't try to do anything special I just try to do the things that I've always been doing I think that's big for me just being the same person that I've always been continuously every day I think that's the tough part being the same person consistently every day and that's what I try to be for the new guys that's coming in just try to help my little bit show them obviously where things are and how we operate the team the type of things that we want to do and want to accomplish on a day-to-day basis but yeah I don't do anything different especially uh being a little bit more of a season vet now I kind of understand how this thing goes so I honestly don't get too amped up or you know I just kind of let those things happen and trust me by I think 12 o'clock I don't know if we're going to be a central time in New Orleans but by 12 o'clock we'll be juiced up who maybe told you when you were a rookie what the bump in intensity was like from preseason to regular season and was it a big bump like you expected and maybe what do you tell the young guys this year about that yeah I had some vets the North Jersey was the safety here and uh Rashad Johnson uh with both two starting safes when I first got here and obviously Jarrell and Brian O'Ragpo and Derrick Morgan those guys were as well um but yeah it is kind of a process you know you go through spring uh it's a little bit fast especially as a rookie and then you obviously get to training camps a little bit faster than the preseason games but then once you get to a regular season definitely kicks up another notch especially being early in the season week one everybody's fresh um and I think that just telling some of these young guys and these rookies just understanding that you know the preseason is over with it was a lot of vanilla plays teams aren't really showing anything when you get to the regular season uh it's a different ball game it's going to be you know everybody starters out there is the ones out there so um I think our guys will be prepared for it. When you look at the things you guys are trying to fix from last year the number one thing that I did you guys was was how many guys you lost to injury um you think if health is the number one thing for you guys? 100 but I would say that you know health is the number one thing for pretty much any team uh that's something that we've battled with the past couple of years we've been able to overcome it at times but that's not something that we want to continue to you know hope on and hang our hat on is that you know we can battle through injuries and things like that's something you want to have in your back pocket because obviously guys are going to go down guys are going to get hurt just the nature of our business but you know the health of our team is probably the most important thing that we can have throughout this year and you know I think that's something that I've always stressed myself personally but try to stress the guys is you know having your routines and that's something that you know starting week one you need to get that routine down packed this week so you can try to stay consistent with that throughout the year. Years or as a leader are you really trying to stress that hey something's got to be different in this room this year to stay healthy? Yeah I don't know I don't know if it's bad luck or anything I don't really believe in luck too much I think you kind of create your own luck but when it comes to the injuries yeah it's very hard to you know I guess you know hang your hat on something I don't know it's just something that's been very unfortunate you hopefully hopefully it's not you know three years in a row. Have you seen that change start to take place you say like you try and encourage guys how to take care of themselves and we've heard guys like Christian talking about like doing things differently have you seen a difference from him of the past to him this fall? Well definitely Christian Fulton is a guy that I know for a fact just the way he approaches offseason and the things I'm seeing him do every single day morning before meetings things he's doing before practice he's definitely you know mentally you know taking upon himself to make sure that he's trying to do everything possible to stay healthy this year and you know right if it happens or not I'm not sure but I know he's mentally definitely locked in on that and just like I said just for myself I mean I don't know what guys are you can only talk to guys what they're doing outside the building I know some guys we see the same body work people body maintenance people but you hope that guys are doing everything they possibly can to stay healthy for four seasons because then they this is our this is our career and this is our job and for most guys you know this career don't last that long so you want to put up put in as much time as you can to make sure you're available for the team. Issues last year Kevin second half holding lead stuff like that which is kind of uncharacteristic for y'all is that something that was addressed much this offseason? You know a lot of things were addressed I think you know that stat right there can honestly can be attributed to a lot of things I think for as far as the entire team we can just play better complementary football that's something we've always hung our hat on when you get to the second half obviously starting fast as a defense but then there's an offense when we get you know in favorable situations or favorable field position trying to go down there score points not really in the situation as a defense where you know you're trying to hold on to a certain lead in the game for the entire game sometimes those things don't always happen so as far as the entire team special teams as well just making sure we're just taking advantage of favorable situations and just playing more complementary as a team. How much does Kamara not being out change this game for you? Well it changes the game for a lot honestly he's one of the most dynamic running backs in his league we know that if he was he was playing they would feature him a lot rather than a run game pass game so I'm sure that them as a team they're going to change up some different things as far as personnel wise what they're going to do how much they're going to feature their running backs in the past game I'm not sure so that will obviously give more targets to some other guys so I mean we'll see what happens this week one who knows what they're going to do who knows what type of formations and personnel groups they can go they can go out there and do something totally different than what we're watching on film so you know that it's just the beauty of week one. What do you study some of the things that maybe concern you the most when you look at their offense and what they do do that you know of? Well I know for a fact obviously playing Derek Carr a few years he's a guy that's going to really try to air the ball out you know he's a really really really good quarterback he's a timing quarterback he's wanting to you know get to the top his dropping and let the ball go they have some dynamic receivers as well obviously Michael Thomas is back you know he's been down for some injuries a couple years but I know the type of mentality he has he's going to want to go out there and prove everybody wrong and prove to the entire world that he's back and obviously the rookie last year Olave he's a really smooth route runner has really good hands really good routes you know he can run the entire route tree so he's really good and I know some of the other guys they happen to slide in they're dealing with some injuries not sure it was going to be availability for those guys later in the week but they got some good speed and in the slots as well but also Joanne Johnson at the tight end he's one of those Darren Waller type you know tight end and well receiver in the tight ends body he has really good speed good hands and I know he's trying to take that next leap as far as being a really good tight end so they have some weapons out there to throw to and I know Derek Carr is going to try to get the ball to all of them. What about studying what they might do against you how much of it is based on the Saints offense that you've that they've run in the past versus what Carr did with the Raiders? Yeah I think it's going to be a mix of both obviously I know with him you know coming to the world he's going to want to bring so over some things that he's always been comfortable with in Oakland and slash Las Vegas but at the same time they're still going to have the same offense same OC you kind of seen some of those things in the pre-season just a little bit but you know for myself personally you know I got to watch both a little bit I like to watch some of the things he was really good especially playing the Raiders past couple years things that he was successful with against us that they're probably going to try to run again at least try to test our waters to see you know if we've been able to fix those things we watch them as well but also at the same time it's still going to be the OC's offense so we've been watching uh last year's New Orleans as well and obviously the couple times we played New Orleans as well so a lot of things to watch because like I said it's pre I mean it's week one so you know being able just to you got to kind of cover all your bases and then at the end of the day going to the game just play fast and understand that they can do whatever they want to do it's their ball as a team you guys probably haven't moved up to your standard in week one each the last couple years have you learned anything from what happened on those days and what needs to be different this weekend well everybody wants to win week one but you know I guess we've proven that sometimes you know just because you lose the first game of the year doesn't mean that it's going to be a big determine what's going to happen at the end of the year we obviously want to be able to go out during and win the first game want to win every single game you're out there but like I said I mean it's going to be a long season 17 games and you know one game doesn't define the entire season but uh if all possible we want to start out on the right foot you got to be careful not to chase ghosts in week one that's how you kind of describe that same question is that maybe something this week that you guys have to maybe focus a little bit more on yourself and a little bit less on what could happen no absolutely and because like I said it's week one and you know everybody's pretty much watching the same thing if you got a new quarterback on a new team with a new office coordinator you're watching their last year's film you can watch so much and then you get on to a game and you know they don't run the same thing you know I've been there before so like you said it is sometimes you can't be chasing ghosts and you know obviously you're going to get the game playing coach is going to put into things and we feel like it's going to help us win but at the same time it's going to be about us it's going to be about the time we put in this entire summer uh spring and summer uh the type of identity we want to be as a team obviously we're going to be physical we want to play fast we want to play violent and I think those are going to be the things it's going to help us win more often than just trying to be the smartest guy to try to I mean obviously football is a chess match but it's going to be about our identity and their identity and you know who goes out there and executes the best. What are you seeing Kevin from your uh kind of backups of safety not too much experience there because like more union brand than Matthew Jackson? I think I think they've done a phenomenal job uh obviously Elijah played a lot of nickel cornerback or you know corner slot whatever he's done a phenomenal job just being able to transition and do a lot of good things back there but also still move around the defense have some versatility and Mike Brown's the guy who came I think was on our practice squad he was late on our team late last season and he's came in this spring and summer and he's really made some strides and obviously he's been able to get himself on the 53 and I expect him to see him out there and obviously he's going to be on special teams as well but uh I think all those guys have done a great job and I have trust that if they do get out there in the game they have to uh they'll go out there and execute. When you play Kansas City in the AFC championship nobody picked you guys to be in that game nobody picked you guys to be the number one seed a couple of years later how much is that the message to the young guys as you start the season nobody knows yeah nobody knows you know at the end day nobody should really care about you know where we're being picked um all those things is what drives our business you know people analysts are going to say what they want to say we're we're going to finish last we might win the division we're going to do whatever you know none of that stuff really matters and at the end of the day it's all about proving ourselves right I've never been in the business of feeling like we got to prove anybody wrong or you know prove the doubt is wrong or anything like that it's all about what we believe as a team and if we believe we can be the team that can go out there and win a Super Bowl then that's when we're trying to prove to ourselves not to anybody else um because you know when you listen to the noise it's very easy to sway uh each week you know you get on ESPN you have a bad game you get out there and they say you suck and if you think you suck then you're probably going to suck you you know what I'm saying so I think it's just one of those things you have to just kind of block out the noise and really stay locked in and stay focused on the goal and the goal is to try to win a Super Bowl with that with new coach on the line this year you know how how well what's his approach been like you know maybe differently and how have you got developed under him do you think um it's been a little different probably like I say on the leeway like how we go about things but I feel like the message is still the same like the identity of the offense line like it's still the same thing but with Hof I say I don't know it's like it's just it's more open I would say I mean like I was talking about last time like it just it felt like you can go back and forth like y'all sharing knowledge it's not just strictly one way like he just giving to you like y'all go back and forward you got some ideas you give it to him like y'all bounce back and if it's good if it's work if we both feel confident we'll rock with it there's been a lot of moving parts all offseason up front I mean how you feel like the group has improved maybe from the time you started uh OTAs to now heading into the regular season um I feel like we done made big games since OTAs you know OTAs like nobody knew nobody and so like from then to now for playing in the preseason all the way through all the practice we've had I feel like we done made some big games just smoothing down just understanding like where we want each other to be in combos or like kind of blocks that we like how we prefer to do blocks so I feel like we're all like smoothing and like just got real familiar with each other now and obviously the personnel changes that were made throughout the offseason to revamp the line what are some of the things you guys have worked on to try to clean up the past protection um it's just working them drills every day like these are it's a new group of guys so everybody has like their different strengths and weakness and we usually work in drills that fits those players strengths and weakness and just going after every day just taking one day at a time and just keep repping it. How important is uh second halves for you guys this year that was kind of the source of strengths last year how important is it that you guys get off what on the second half maybe maintain leads that you have? Um I feel like that's a uh big key issue I feel like just starting off from beginning to end like you want to be consistent you don't want to be just focusing on the second half like you want to come out there start fast and finish the same way you don't want to know rollercoaster like of course it's gonna happen from time to time but you want it to be a smooth smooth transition like just from first first quarter to fourth quarter when people giving that same effort if we whooping in front of beginning of the uh game you want to keep the same with it um I don't I don't feel the spotlight is on us much like I'm not really thinking about like what other people think so I'm just trying to be the best offensive line in the league and that's the only thing I'm focused on. What's it been like for you I guess when you first came in you're probably asking a lot of questions that people as you found your way now you're the only returning starter on this this line um how many how much of guys been asking you questions as far as what to expect uh you know what you're doing on a day-to-day basis? Um there's many questions like a lot of younger guys and just even some of the vets like me myself I don't feel like I've arrived nowhere so I feel like it's always something you can learn so like I could be on year 10 I'll be talking to somebody that's on year seven eight like some that work for their body so I feel like we all just bounce off each other from vets from Dan me all the way to Peter like we all just give each other tips and advice on different things we could do um he's feeling great like anybody that comes in we're going to bring them in we'll help them on like we're open arms because we're a unit like offensive line it's one unit so we're just bringing the man he's smoothing in like we're getting to know him he's getting to know us and we're working now that you're a center I feel like that's kind of where where you belong and and uh how's the transition been uh the transition being great like I feel like I belong anywhere like if I have to go left tackle guard center it don't matter but it's been a smooth transition just getting back into that role and like just gaining my technique back from guard to center and just getting comfortable with being in the middle oh no not at all like that was kind of that was kind of the goal coming in from college was to be their rotational interior player exhale tighten and then transition into that center role over time you watch their front forward all Aaron the Saints what do you want to see what jumps out other than camp um they're awesome solid player you got Saunders he's coming from KC and like he's a good nose guard like I respect them all like any player I'm going against I respect them but you got to handle up I think you guys handled that well and how confident are you that this new look line will be ready on Sunday um I'm 100 confident we're going to be ready on Sunday we're going to do what we have to do like we've been preparing like this beginning of the week as well like this the real game week right here so how we uh prepare this week and get ready for Sunday like we're going to put out there on Sunday what's the feeling the building as you go from you know going to first game week of the season more of a serious yeah it's it's more of a focus like you find like we've been in camp and going against teams like week by week right now so like pre-season you're not game planning for a team that much so once you come into like the actual game week it's a different kind of focus like you have your set plays your details you have to dial in on and it's a different kind of focus in terms of uh development for Peter Skorovsky um I see in games in every aspect of the game like from run game pass pro like every week like he's intentionally trying to grow on something like he's intentionally trying to get better at something if it's physically or mentally he's doing something what about Spears your new running bag everybody knows about Derek but what's maybe impressed you about him and when was the moment when you thought this this kid may have something that first pretty well I like I seen him coming out of college to watch his college tape and everything so I liked him like even before he got here but like once we got into even like OTAs doing little drills and different types of things like the kid fast he fast he quick his agility like he can do it all he's tough so I love last two years I don't think you guys probably lived up to your own standard in week one of the way you played how important is week one and what has to be different this year um don't pass so you're there in the past now so I'm not worried about the past two but this year right now like this first week like it's a new season it's a new start new slate so we're trying to be the best you're trying to get to the Super Bowl that's the end goal of anybody every season so that's a goal right now to take one week at a time and get a w this week and move on to the next you guys on the offensive line a lot of guys here come from other teams where they were backups you were undrafted guys you know made your way in the league down your fourth year does this offensive line kind of have a chip on its shoulder because of that I would feel so like anybody who has a story behind them like there's some personality behind it as well so I feel like anybody who like just you didn't come like anybody that's in the NFL they all were starters at a point in time in college so coming from college or whatever you come from like not being a star that's humbling and so just going through that experience like that just I'll really give you a chip on your shoulder I think that Titans fans might notice be surprised by offensively this year without giving anything away and anything that might surprise him in the open in terms of difference from I just feel like the only surprising given is we're going to be better than last year like it's going to be something to watch and we're going to do our job and hold up outside of the ground be a broadcast man I have to talk to look trash a couple people you know Tim Tim Kelly here kind of tried me a little bit last week so we were talking what happened we were talking he asked me like he asked what college I went to whatever and he asked me oh do y'all still have a football team and so like after the win when they were kneeling the ball had took a screenshot of it snipped it to him and I just asked him do we have a football team so he didn't reply he didn't say nothing to me till I got here this morning Tim what did he play I know he was a defensive defensive man I don't know he played that though Eastern Illinois oh yeah put them against a bobcats we'll see what happened

I don't know. It says let's see It's not bad. It's just like there's something different about it. So whatever. I'm so hooked on Friday night lights I never watch series or been to watch series like literally ever and I'm on season 2 I'm so like 10 or something which is really good for me first things first We have the green crew. They're just like really just cozy and light, which I love They're really soft on the inside then we have our bread winning house wife Baseball cap, which was really requested from y'all Next we have our bread running housewife coffee tumbler, which I've been using non-stop We also have the crew and pink. I'm styling my outfit here with white text It's all embroidered in this line, which I think is so cute and Last we have a set that I am obsessed with so it's white Spread running housewife on the bottoms.

So that is what is available for this job very exciting So we shot the merch which is out now.

Like look this is what it is give us some tips for shooting I have no tips. Have you seen my Instagram? It's not very good. It's um It's only good when I give book racks. All right guys. We're back very exciting stuff first I bought this from we're not really strangers for interpretation Oh my friends and I love these kind of card games and we like come home on weekends and play these Super fun next thing super you finally know that I exist and they sent me so many goodies glow screen galore My favorite product like literally my number one holy girl of resetting spray. It's snow mineral powder everyday lotion glow screen body Oh my god. This is the best day of my life Super screen and daily moisturizer. We've got sunscreen. We've got glow oil, which will be gonna try to get tan this summer I'll let you guys know I said every year bright-eyed mineral eye cream lip screen glow stick daily dose Hydra I don't look good though.

I don't know But it's in San Antonio now. I'm pretty sure So you know some more Texans, but this is amazing. Thank you guys so much Wow, all right guys my house is always a mess after I shoot came back. I just ordered some lunch I'm gonna grab it on the way out. This is my outfit now My bread winning house life sweats and my puffer. I'm off to get a hydro facial. I'm so hungry I have my calisthenics on the way I'm bringing my headphones on so I can actually listen to something. I think I'm probably gonna go grocery shopping after We will see It's like so crazy how much it glows. I'm out of my hydro facial. I got Dermaplaning hydro facial and a boost this guy is staring at me I got dirt playing a hydro facial and a boost in the hydro facial not really sure what that means But my skin is glowing. It is insane I can't believe that your pores disappear your skin glows. I mean Wow tonight My cousin and I I think you're gonna walk and get dinner tonight I'm just feeling so anxious and I hate to keep talking about this in vlogs I just filmed my life and I have a really hard time like faking things on camera So if I feel emotionally really off I feel like it makes my videos really bad my anxiety is so high today And I don't really know what it is other than it has to be hormonal But I am just feeling so anxious and filming myself is really not helping so honestly I'll probably catch up with you guys tomorrow I promise the vlog is gonna get better and happier, but this is just reality. I don't feel good at all Decided to get out of the house for dinner when got my favorite ramen and Dallas with my cousin She's wearing cute merch love that for us Also, this is my friend's hat. I feel cool though. We're in UT law. Yeah I used to have a Harvard sweater, and I was like, yeah, I want I didn't go to Harvard. Good morning guys Um, it's the next day. I was in a funk yesterday. That's why I was in a weird. That's why I wanted to plan this Yes, I need stuff during the week to put me out. I was like, thank God you texted me Yeah, so we're at Katie trail. We're going on a nice little walk. Here's my outfit Look at my hat Yes, it's a clock for early risers this morning I know I feel like this is like my New York days because I walked over here. It's like I never walk anywhere now Yeah, that's what that actually does suck, but I walk in my neighborhood. Yeah, that's I really walked it in my neighborhood I can't walk around it, you know. Yeah It's okay. All right, we're gonna walk. I Feel like such a mom right now. Okay, so it's Tuesday, obviously I went on a nice walk with Michelle, which was so nice I guess this vlog is basically me being in a funk and trying to get out of it Um, I've said this so many times before but I have PMDD So there's like 10 days to two weeks a month where I can just be really down Which is really unfortunate because when you think about it, that's like almost half of your life Sometimes it's worse than other times. Anyways, I'm just in such a bad funk and I can't get out of it Anyways, I actually think I'm going to Instacart my groceries I thought about going to sprouts, but I have Pilates only an hour and I didn't know what I wanted to get So I think I'm gonna order my groceries get my life together to where I'm able to cook and make food I can't really cook until tomorrow. It's just it's crazy. I felt like I'm on the verge of tears for like a week at least And I'm not really sad about anything. I just it's crazy. So anyways, what I'm doing Um, I am grocery shopping so I can get back onto my cooking routine And I'm making sure I see people last night and when got dinner with my cousin this morning I went on a walk with Michelle this afternoon. I have meetings, but then I'm gonna go Plan with Peyton which like for whatever reason planning helps me get out of a funk a lot So I think maybe that will help. I'll keep you guys posted. Let me know what you guys want to see in the vlogs I feel like I'm like burnt out, but not necessarily in the way that like I'm burnt out like Like work ethic wise I feel like I'm just burnt out like I'm making a lot of content I just don't know what to do. By the way, my skin I don't know if you can even tell is glowing and it's the softest it's ever felt the derma planning is incredible My makeup has not been going on well recently at all like I haven't even looked like myself recently And I feel like when I put makeup on again, it will just be so much better I need to clean my makeup brushes too, but yeah, I mean like wow it is incredible. I love this I'm dropping the dogs off to get back. I don't know if it's COVID I don't know if it's the weather the season or Just every other thing that's happening in this world or that we're like hustle culture I don't know what it is and maybe I just haven't had like a breakdown after the past years I don't like necessarily know what it is But there's just something in the air lately where everyone is feeling weird and I will say I feel like I always kind of feel weird around January, but I Am really looking forward to this being over. I decided it to cancel plotties today I'm going to drop them off to get past. I'm gonna go home shower get comfy. I don't have meetings until two today So I'm going to read a book lie to candle and just be and I think that maybe that's what I need It's a journal because journaling really helps me there are times I feel like what I'm in a funk that I have to just like push through and going and working out will help me But I've been doing that the past few days and it hasn't helped resting is productive Not that every I kind of eat that too because like who cares it was productive Like it doesn't everything things don't like need to be productive The point is that if I just keep pushing through this and ignoring myself and not just like sitting and being still for a bit It's gonna set me back even further because I'm just not gonna feel better So I'm hoping that this small little afternoon helps me. Yeah, I just want to get cozy and have a good Afternoon, I just took a shower now. I'm going to journal and read and maybe watch Friday night lights for a bit I'm gonna have to pick up the dog soon. I'm meeting in like two hours So I decided to essentially just free write basically did morning pages But like not first thing in the morning and just kind of like rambled on and on got everything out of my head Which really helps me so much. Oh my god. Also, I would literally do anything for Matt Saracen Anyways, it is 1 at 26, and I'm feeling better. I blew out my hair. I put on the morning toast I put Friday night lights on my journal a little bit. I'm feeling a lot better Actually an old friend from just back in the day messaged me on Instagram it has had so many nice things to say and because They're being really nice to me, and I was like, maybe this is all it takes anything. It's gonna be nicer to me, you know Oh god, I'm gonna make an iced coffee. I need to cook for a job, which is It's not my vibe for today. It's not what I want to do So I'm making some iced coffee. I have my Quarter four or look yearly meeting with your media, which is always just a really like exciting inspiring time Especially when the podcast is, you know, actually doing well nut pods always and then these glass straws They just enhance your life so much like Not stress that enough so I'm gonna pack for the meeting and then the dogs are still not done They are at least haven't gotten a call. We're gonna ask your hair looks so good Wow It looks so good. Oh my god So I had at my quarter four meeting which always like inspires me and gets me very excited Then I decided to do a little like 20 minute cleanup around the house And just get rid of the clutter and then go and reorganize my closet Which I feel like I spend half of my time doing once I turn the closet into an entire or an entire room into a closet It just somehow gets so messy and I just throw things literally every day and then I clean up every day But cleaning up makes me feel a lot more calm The pups are back. I feel as though my mood is lifting I just got a green juice delivered and about seven packages arrived So Peyton pushed back our plans to happy hour, which honestly might be best and hopefully I can walk there I already got 10,000 steps this morning. Um, but I just like walking. I ordered this Blanket probably a month or two ago It looks so cute. It's from bobble bar. Who knew they have blankets and look it says my initials Which might be chuggy to you guys, but I don't care KEP. I mean You can't really see it, but okay I'll just show you isn't that cute and it's gonna look really cute with my new furniture Once that I rise next month and I feel as though I can't start living my new life until my new furniture has arrived Anyways, the beautiful gray quality blankets With my initials, and it looks incredible in my living room guys. I'm feeling a lot better I've changed for the 15th time today. Oh my god I'm going on a nice long walk and I'm gonna meet Peyton for a happy hour brainstorming session And I mean business so I'm bringing my iPad question Dallas would you be interested in me doing a pop-up of merch at some point like not this launch obviously, but Like at some point we could do a little pop-up. That can be cute Also, I have my better boots my favorite can be a child that I'm gonna drink on the way there I got I got those cookies, but they're cuter here I fully picture the bottle coming out So we just brainstormed different ideas for content It's so nice having Peyton here now because I actually have someone who gets it and someone I can like bounce ideas off of in Person so we might be starting a little dating video series soon where Peyton reds my hand Jim makes you go on dates It sounds kind of miserable, but honestly anything for content. Okay. All right guys. Look who it is Dom doing an unboxing right now for Dom She doesn't know it but me and Peyton and we have these genius ideas because we have good videos to film packages I have some stuff from daily drills that I'm gonna. Oh, that was John. She just fell. Where'd you go? You're still from daily drills and I'm gonna wear tomorrow I have this stuff from Brooklyn some like really that I shared in my indebted night routine recently the Luna one That's weighted. It's like 20 pounds incredible We're talking about totally different things you're talking about Casa Luna. I'm talking about Luna Yay This weighted blanket. Oh my god. It just feels Incredible I have so many things for my bed like oh look Dom you would love it cozy blanket at home But it's like still cool my furniture gets your March 3rd My new stuff my new couch my new everything because I still need to put in tote Cute the packages I unboxed also my bedding can you tell I just self-tanned but one of the packages I unboxed was my new bedding from Riley home So I decided to set that up and then I realized I have the right comforters and stuff So more stuff's coming in the mail, but I decided to like clean my sheets and stuff. I Spent the rest of the night on FaceTime with Dom just doing random work stuff And then I ended up reading and surprise for eyes watching Friday night lights I definitely started to feel a lot better after meeting up with Peyton though I think I just needed to make sure I wasn't fully isolating myself and just like make myself think and get out of the house And go on a walk, so I'm feeling better. Thank you guys for watching. Hope you guys enjoyed this vlog Well, I think the first thing is Recognizing that it is really scary to be alone Especially when you're going through like a trauma or grief or you know after a breakup or something But I think if you can you can kind of reframe it as an opportunity to Grow and to just under kind of understand things better

Soldiers ship Avenger Air Defense Systems to Tinian

Checkout for more Latest Defense & Technology News Updates. www.defenseflashnews.com Soldiers ship Avenger Air Defense Systems to Tinian GUAM 07.28.2021 Avenger Air Defense Systems and other equipment assigned to 1st Battalion, 174th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, are loaded onto an Army Watercraft System by Soldiers of the 97th Transportation Company, 7th Sustainment Brigade, and civilian contract workers in support of exercise Forager 21 at Naval Base Guam, July 28, 2021. The Avenger Air Defense System is a surface-to-air missile system which provides mobile, short-range air defense protection for ground units. Exercise Forager 21 is a U.S. Army Pacific exercise designed to test and refine the Theater Army’s ability to flow landpower forces into the theater, execute command and control of those forces, and effectively employ them in support of our allies, partners, and national security objectives in the region.

At one point I looked up the dimensions for all the vehicles but I'll say I know our heaviest container was about 10,000 pounds, the others were 5,000 but those are only like a fraction of how heavy our heaviest vehicle is. So right now our Charlie Battery personnel are on the island of Tinian and we're trying to ship out the final pieces to them that they need to conduct their operations. Our pacing items are the items that we were not mission capable without those. So our Avengers, our radars, our wrecker, our FLA or field ambulance, those are the pieces that we need to conduct our mission. It's really been eye-opening to me just how critical logistics are and specifically the S4 in the planning of any operation because without your equipment you can't do anything. I definitely feel like being out here, the soldiers I have with me are critical, whether or not they realize it, whether or not other people realize it, what we're doing keeps this operation afloat. It's really awesome for me because this is my first time getting to actually do port operations so it was really nice to see everything, how it, all the moving pieces went together and just the finished product of all of it. These little parts coming together and making everything run smoothly. I would say I definitely, at least me personally, I have a lot more confidence in what we've been doing and I think this exercise has really given our unit a lot of confidence seeing, you know, what we're good at, what we need to work on, some improvements. So I think as a whole it's been a really good experience to figure out our strong suits and our weak points.

You know, chwa first of all, kama airbag, ah, wufai, umiki, umiki nama nenda kukrashono supposed to put it on, miki niya kwa majingu, you put it on. Mama, instructions kama isa. But you see, you see, not on, please, not on, you supposed to put it wet, but there is a thing that you remove when it has landed. But you see also, the timing between an accident, like that moment is very short. So sometimes, kuna iliwa nama tanda dege milus, niki numana misha kwa prepare niya aje, niya aje nikama nanda kwa majingu. But he, he nasema nikitu abrapt. Atratakau nipewa, precautions aje. So kuna 10, salafu, you just can't make a decision at the time. But we saw it. Do you think we can also like the pilots, he did a good thing by landing it in the water? There is no information as to whether it was a water landing or it was just a crash. Nama kwa na cases of water landing niya, niya niki nia pijikama niwa niwa niwa crash, but he put it in the ground. Yeah. And also naskia, most people did actually crash, they did die during the crash, they drowned. Yeah, yeah. But we do it in the ground. Because most of the time, dege kilangwa majingu zuli, and then he put it in the ground. He put it in the ground. So, kama, kama, he put it in the ground. He put it in the ground. That was very sad. But anyway. Uh, so maybe yeah. Maybe he rested in peace. So, the next thing that happened last week and basically that we can't come in kresikena, the comedian, Ameito international comedian by the end of the song. So kresikena in London. But that was a place. Yeah, yeah. Creators week. Creators week for the Meta, it was a Meta's conference here at Facebook. So, kwa selekta dekri bikena na kwa mbox.

I know people who were actually poor at the time of Shah, and they were super mad at the time that Shah is being so much oppressed with his own luxury stuff and silently silencing the opposition, and we can't blame those people being mad at the time at the time, but the same people who were mad at that time right now are much more poor and mad. Sanchez I agree with you, like there was a huge double cross by the regime right now of the rest of the people that were involved that got together to overthrow the Shah, right? So they kind of changed their mind in most cases and forgave the man being Sanchez. And just to fill you guys in, in Iran, the revolution in Iran that got rid of the Shah, it wasn't just the Islamic revolution, it wasn't just the Mullahs and stuff like this, right? The Ayatollah was in France, given safe harbor by France, right? Just later waiting to come and take over, right? According to you know, as soon as the West was ready to get rid of the Shah, right? But the Islamic people worked together with the communists, with the socialists, with the unions and stuff like this to overthrow the Shah. Everyone was promised a seat at the table, but then after the regime change happened, there were about, I think within the year, year and a half, within two years anyway, there were like 300,000 people that were targeted and assassinated and killed. And there was a mass purging that happened afterwards in the Islamic sect, which was the largest part of it, huge part of it with huge control, took over, right? Because the Shah was, the Shah of Iran was more, the number one enemy of the Shah of Iran at the time was, he considered it to be communist. He didn't realize that the West was cancer that was or his puppet masters really, right?

UV#11 Making a beat and synthesizing a bassline with ZynAddSubFX

unfa vlog #11 I'm recording and editing a simple drum sequence. Then arranging a simple bassline and programming the sound for it in ZynAddSubFX.

Seriously, who needs a hairdryer? Hey, it's ANFA, and you're watching ANFA vlog. Today we'll be making some bass sound, but first we need some drum beats. Let's get it on. Alright, so I left you with this arduous session. In the meantime, I upgraded to arduous 5.8 because I was running arduous 5.6 and there were some issues that were resolved. Hooray! As we as you remember, we have a drum track with master midi drum track for our four individual drums and a sub-mix bus. Where we have... Oh, we haven't equalized it. Oh, yeah, we do. And we have a saturator. Well, what happened? I don't remember. Maybe I did this. Yeah. And we have some midi data here, but it's nowhere to be found. You can't see it. Oh, there it is. Let's listen. Oh, the bad timing. Ah, yes, I tried to record some drum bass beats. Okay, but we'll scratch that and do it again. So, first thing is, if you're following, change the tempo to 170. I want to make some drum bass. Here it is. 170. Apply. Oh, crap. Well, that's not right. You need to double-click on this tempo marker and now type 170. Apply. And now we go. You can press 7 on the alphanumeric keyboard and that will enable the metronome. So you can hear how fast you should be playing. Home to go to the beginning of the session. And I may also walk through some other shortcuts like 6, which enables auto-return. And that means if you start a playbook somewhere and you stop, the playhead will automatically return to the place where you started. And that's very useful for re-recording the same passage over and over when you need to go back and try again. So you just hit 6 on your alphanumeric keyboard or click here and it enables auto-return. I also use frequently a shortcut for follow, playhead follow. It's in transport. Oh, follow, playhead, ctrl-F. And then I have my playhead. If you don't have that, it's going to run away and go ctrl-F. And now you have like the playhead is going to, like everything is going to scroll. But you also need to have the stationary playhead enabled because otherwise the screens will just flip. And that depends on what you like. You see, I personally like the stationary playhead where the playhead is in the middle of the screen. And you can see everything is scrolling by. Anyway, let's record some drum beats. So we have the MIDI input, the keyboard. Yeah. And now I'm just going to try and record a simple drum bass beat. So I'm going to press shift space. Yeah. I'm going to press home. I want to enable the metronome or the click. Oh, you can also modify the level with mouse wheel. Wow, that's cool. Check out this. You can change the loudness of that just by, wow, just by using mouse wheel over there. I want to see, I want to make the default like zero divisibles. Okay, let's record. That's very, very simple. I'm going to just split it with the S key. Select with left mouse, shift right click to delete. I'm using also my mouse wheel left and right. Now I'm scrolling. Zoom in. You can see that I can actually scroll back and forth with the horizontal move of my mouse wheel, which is cool. And that's very useful. I'm going to just maybe shift this somewhere in here so it lines up with the grid. And I'm going to just listen. Oh, that's funky. I'm going to hit S, shift right click to delete that part. What I want to do now is quantize this because it's not very on the beat. So I'm going to select it with the left mouse button, press E for edit. Now I'm going to hit Ctrl A and that might be loud because it will play back all the notes. Now right click on one of them and go quantize. And here it's going to go snap. Note start for main grid. What is our main grid? Our main grid is beats by eight. So a beat is this part. See, from this bright line to this bright line, there's a bar. And we have a meter or four, four, so four quarter notes. So a beat is one quarter note. So this is a single beat and we can fit eight parts in that one beat. And this is our grid, but that's too much. I guess we just can get away with beats by two. That should be fine. Let's go quantize. And here we go. Let's listen. You can see that now all our notes lay exactly on the grid. Yeah. That's a very quick way to have a properly time-synced beat when you can't really play it very well. Okay, let's now go G for the grab mode or the, yeah, select move objects. I'm going to just hold this and snap it here. It's a pull display. Yeah, it plays. But you can see only the, yeah. What I'm going to do, I'm just going to slightly delay the whole thing. So when my beginning snaps to the bar, to the beginning of the bar, the whole thing, these notes won't disappear. I'm also going to snap the ending. Why does it snap like this? Because I have the magnetic grid enabled. It might be a nice moment to cover the grids. So here you have the snapping options. You can have no grid. That means whatever you do is completely freeform. There is no relation to the grid. If you select grid, what you do is always restrained to the grid. You see? Now I have beats by three. Actually, it snaps to a beats. Let's see, beats by four. Oh, that's weird. Why does it snap like that? Bars. Okay, now it snaps to bars. And if I go beat, beats by 12, it should. Yeah, now it snaps to beats by 12. I'm going to go just beats. Now I can, like, snap for the beats. But the most useful thing for me is the magnetic, which is it only snaps the grid when you're close enough to a point of a grid. So it can, it snaps when I'm close, but it can just snap out and place it wherever I want. Or I can go close and it's going to snap and help me perfectly align this with the grid. Also, if you are in the grid mode, you can hit alt key anytime to release yourself from the grid. So now I'm holding alt and the grid doesn't take effect. Now I release it, I'm totally bound to the grid. I hit alt, I'm not bound to the grid anymore. Find your workflow. I usually go with magnetic, and when I need it for some, like, slight alignments, I just go with alt to shift this by two pixels on the screen when it would snap. All right, enough grid. We have a simple beat. Now we can program ourselves some bass. Let's get to the bass, man. All right, I'm going to save the session. By the way, there's a great function of snapshots. You can make a snapshot. I'm going to go snapshot and switch to new version. I'm going to call this just append a new number. And yes, I want to override it because I was like making some rehearsals to prepare this video tutorial. Now, well, because this is drums, I want to make sure that the note mode is for percussive. So now I can just see the onsets and not the whole length of the notes. Also, I want to reduce the range of the visible notes on the keyboard because I don't really need all of that. It doesn't help to see all those, these octaves that I don't use. All right, now I can just left click, press right square bracket to select to place the loop markers around the selection and press L to loop playback. I can press seven to disable the click because we don't need it because we already have this aligned to the grid. Now we can get to the bass synthesis. Let's add ourselves midi track. It's some effects, of course. Actually, I'm not sure which one. Let's try this. It's constantly changing. Oh, we have nothing here. No, we have. Hello, selected. Which one is that? Okay, this is this one. I don't like it because it's a, well, it's a, it's a weird, I think it's wrapped from Carla. Okay, I'm going to remove this plugin and I'm going to insert from my favorites another version of this Synapse FX plugin. And this one, I like better. You can see it has a nice frame. And most importantly, it has all these features available for automation like filter cutoff, filter queue, bandwidth, FM gain stuff. So we can automate some stuff, which is going to be cool. Okay, now I think I need some melody. Let's try and just play it on the keyboard, maybe. It's not my usual workflow, but let's try it. I'll just record it to click because I won't make it into one loop. So I'm going to just, oh, I don't want to record on the drum track, just the bass. I'm going to call this bass, by the way, just so it's ready. And now, okay, I'm going to just take the best part and fix all the errors with editing. I'm just going to listen. This is a bad note. This one is also bad. There was some interesting mistake that I really liked, contributing melodically. Oh yeah, I like this part. Da, da, da, da, da. Oh yeah. So I can take this one. Let's maybe remove this. And also use the beginning of this part. Just going to slice with S key, S, right, shift, right click. I'm just going to swap these. And now, let's try to align this to the beat. I'm going to click, control, hit control, and just drag this over. Just make sure it snaps here. So now we have two of these. Let's just maybe, maybe let's just dial in a very, very simple song wave sound. So we can better hear our bass through the whole thing. Oh, I must have input some random harmonics. Let's do clear. Yes, all right, now it's clear. Now it's smooth. Nothing messed up. And let's just open the Lopez filter. Oh, maybe just close it. Yeah, let's do it like that. Oh, it's way too high. You can hear. I'm going to just make it, shift it down to octave zone already. All right, so it's beginning. It shouldn't start on the first beat. That's not what I intended. It should be one, two, three, four, ba, ba, ba. It should start on like one end. One end. Yeah, it should be like here. So let's shift it and see how it sounds now. All right, and the same with the second one. The first note should be on the one end. So the second eight of the... Actually, I want to change this because it's like... Sounds a bit awkward. Not sure about the key of the whole thing. I like this. It has a nice rhythm. Now, I would like to join these two MIDI regions into one, but I'm going to save my session in case I mess up. Because I'm not sure how to do that, actually. There should be a way to just merge these two regions. No, that's working for audio. Oh, that's not good. Oh, we killed all of them. No, we didn't. Yeah, what did it do? Oh, but wait a second. Our MIDI regions are merged. It works. I don't know how. I don't know why. I don't know what. Okay, not sure what I did. It did the job. I should probably edit now here and show you what I exactly did and when did this happen. All right, now you know. Good. So we have this little baseline. I'm going to hit the right square bracket to loop around it. I'm going to... Sorry for interrupting. I'm going to hit E to edit. I'm going to select all the notes with CTRL A and I want to quantize all that stuff too. But this time I want to have some higher resolution. I'm going to go with Beatsball, divide it by four. Oh, I'm afraid this is going to destroy some... Yeah. No, that sounds bad. I'm going to CTRL Z this. I'm going to manually correct the borders. I don't want them to quantize. It's going to sound bad. Hitting Alt to release myself from the grid. Let's listen. I'm going to disable the metronome. I probably... I got used to it so much that I ceased to hear it. But you probably still hear it and it's like, ah, turn off the metronome, dude. It's annoying. Well, you got to get to love metronome. It saves life. My tea is getting cold. I'm actually using synthetic citric acid or something. White powder, easier to store than real lemon and tastes just like lemon in your tea. Oh, we have some stuck notes bad. I don't like this. It's a little bit too early. And this is also too early. Yeah, I don't want to... I like the flow of this. Let's save the session. Cali, now let's just have some fun with the sound design. Make sure it's always about the others. No, actually, I don't want that. I'm just playing around with the filter. I've added some punch to emphasize the note's first part, the transient. So it has more click. And now I'm going to try and maybe make something more interesting than just a saw wave. So I'm going to first just maybe enable it, make it all the way down, re-quiet, enable the second voice. Well, that could be our sub-bass band. But no, let's make it quiet too. Let's go to third voice and that's going to be my main carrier. Let's make this a triangle wave, maybe. Or something like a slightly decapitated triangle wave. Maybe add some quantization distortion. How about we bypass the filter? Oh, that's not very good because... Okay, these harmonics, like, okay, they make our sound... Oh, I like this. Let's see what it can do with modulation. I like this. Now I switch to the external modulation, which is voice 2. I'm going to make the whole thing louder. You can hear that we have very little low end right now. Actually, you might want to see the spectrum as we go. But... Okay, let's pause this. Now we're going to see all of our spectrum, including the drums. And that's going to obscure the view because you want to listen just to the bass. So I'm going to disconnect the main output from the botline input. This program here, that serves as our spectrum viewer. And I'm going to just enable root T output. Other, oh yeah, here. Now, there you go. Let's press L. And you can see we hear the drums and the bass, but we see only the bass here, which is cool. That gives us a clearer view of what we're synthesizing. I'm making a pitch ramp for the modulating voice. Actually, it gives some... You can see that the changing the phase of the relative waveform is already enough to change the sound. I want to make this waveform a little bit more interesting. Maybe let's use clip. Clip actually reflects the waveform on the other side. So you can see that what goes down here actually gets reflected here. What goes up there through the line of the ceiling gets reflected from the floor. And this, of course, affects the amount of pre-gain. This can get some really harsh distortion. This is what you get when you get really, really low. How about we go up with the power? Note that the velocity sensing is enabled and we have different note volume, note velocity. So this affects the sound. Now it doesn't. You can see right most of the sable. Now we have to... Now this can give us some nice expression of the playing. I can also make this a ramp. The cool thing about using external modulator is that you can use also LFO, but you have to make sure that the delay isn't contracting because by default it's on. It looks like there's too much modulation overall. How about we disable it and listen? Okay, so that is what we would get without modulation. I think that the velocity sensing is a bit too much. But the overall amount of modulation now goes up so I need to compensate. I like this sound. It needs some sub-bass because this one is like... We can even hype as this. I'm going to reduce the quality so the filter is less steep. But I want to increase the stages to actually make it more steep. But without the resonance, you know, without the peak on the edge. And you can see right here. And now I just want to enable a nice little sine wave to reinforce the low end. But I'm going to enable a Lopez filter on that. Let me disable the third voice so we can hear just the sub. Because you can hear that the sub-bass... Maybe it's going to be easier if I solo the bass. You can see even on the spectrum that it generates bad clicks. And I really don't like this. So I'm going to have the Lopez filter here. I want to make sure that it tracks the frequency. I'm also going to... Oh, we have forced release. Okay. That was causing the clicks. Now even if the release is very short, it's not as short. Okay. I want to make the cue little so the filter is wide. I want to show you what I want to do. So I'm going to use a saw wave just for demonstration. For some reason there is a random harmonic somewhere added in this version. I'm not sure why. Just take a look at the spectrum. Now we have all of it. Now we're using the... Let's bypass the global filter. We don't need that. Now as I increase the cue... You can see we have a peak. We don't want that. So I want this to be as steep as possible. So I'm going to increase the stages. I want to do this to protect the sound from generating clicks. If I change this to sine wave. Funny, because it still looks quite... Well, you know what's happening? The other voices are also like feeding sound here. And the way to counteract this... You can see that because if I disable this voice. You can see we have something here. Why? Because in this version zero is in zero and this is making sounds. You see? Not only this. This is also making sounds. They are both making sounds. Zero is in zero. But we have to have them enabled in order to use them for modulation. So what you can do is... First, go to the master window. I'm using alt tab. Reduce the master level. And then use the filter gain. To make this much louder. And now we can't really see these. Not that we can hear them anymore. We can bump this up too. The cool thing is that we can also use a band pass filter. On the modulating voices. That can give us some pretty cool motion. Let's make it a constant. A little bit random. How about doing some... End of loop. No. I actually want to also... Make a very, very short attack. I want to open this to demonstrate to you. I don't want this blip at the beginning. Now it's making very loud noises. I don't want that. Making the modulation strength much like ramp up from zero. For some time when the note starts. Let's hear this with the drums. It's way too loud. My mic is feeding back. I'm trying to start this one. I really like starting stuff hard. We're not using any stereo, but we could. I can't really insert any more effects here. Because it's the first slot and I wanted to add some stereo nests. But I could insert some effects. Let's try looking for this. I could insert some effects here. This is the parts insert effects. Well this easy can destroy the whole bass sound. I hope we make just a very, very short reverb. And make just a little clue of it. It's gonna give some life to our sound. I especially like how the distortion that's kicking in afterwards because like the first this sound is mixed from the three parts. Sorry the three synthesis engines. Then they go for the effects in the part slots. Three of them in order. Then that gets here. We could also use our bender for some cool effects like vibrato. So maybe... Let's try automating that. I'm just gonna close it. Okay, so let's close this for now. This audio track isn't needed. Let's get A for Automation Bender Channel 1. I want some vibrato. I like this note. It actually... That's the vibrato on its own because of the... Well, the modulation somehow. I'm gonna go... How do I want this? I would like to... It's not like any other automation track where you can just record it. 8, 1, 92 is the middle. With Shift... Do I have more precision? No. With Alt... With Ctrl... Okay, 8, 1, something. It's gonna be good enough. Shift, right-click on this. Zoom in with middle mouse. Mouse wheel. I'm gonna try and just draw some... I want to end on 8, 1, something. Yeah. Will this have any effect? Here it has. Okay, it's not the note I wanted. 8, 1, something please. Oh yeah, this is what I wanted. Let's make a down... 8, 1, something. Oh, it doesn't actually sound that much bent. Let's make the modulation wheel have more effect because this is here the range of the pitch band control. And it's 200 cents, so it's two semitones. I want to make this one octave. So it's one octave up and one octave down. Let's try it now. Let's maybe let the first pitch settle for a moment and then fall. Okay, now our vibrato is probably bad. Yeah, that's a little bit too much. It's very aggressive. It's here now. I also like to make a little movement from down here to the note pitch. And I want to move two points at once. Yes, this extra note is so good. Maybe the next one. Oh, I inserted some notes for crash. Shift, right click. Yes, nice. I like it. Alright, that would be it for today because this video is already quite long. Editing will be not very easy. Let's just listen one more time. I'm going to upload the whole session file as well as the Zenitsu FX patch. By the way, someone asked, how do you use these files? Well, come on. Here in the File menu you have two options. Save all parameters, which is going to create an XMZ file. That's master settings. And you can load such a file with open parameters. And I'm usually saving my patches as XMZ files because that's master settings. For comparison, there is instrument files only. You can save instrument as XIZ or instrument. And that will only save things related to a single part. So then you can load different parts. You can go to part number three, go instrument, open instrument, load some instrument here, then go to part number one, load something else, etc. Compile your instrument set. But I like to save the master settings and that saves all the instruments, all the effects settings, everything. Now there's some little pitch badness here. We have, yeah, this is better. Okay. I wish it could snap to zero something. Okay. Thanks for watching. I hope you've learned something. If you have any questions or suggestions what I should do next, leave them in the comments. And I will see you in the next video. Bye. Just one more thing I have to do. One more thing. Shift D, sorry, Shift D to duplicate, tapping in number. Now, oh, I have drums track above master track. Control up arrow, please, please. Move this down. Oh, come on. What's happening? All right, never mind. That's nothing. It's nothing. Now I won't like a new track, mister. I have to have some dialogue open. Where is it? Oh, yeah, here it is. Come on, do it. Yeah. Now I just need to disable Carla because it's gonna make everything very difficult to manage. Let's just connect this. Now you can hear me through our door. What is this? I hate you.

SCP-093 | Experiment logs Part I: The Blue and Green Tests

SCP Orientation is an archive of files of the SCP Foundation. Today we will be examining the results of testing procedures carried out on item number SCP-093: Red Sea Object, Object class: Euclid. Since no records exist explaining SCP-093's method of containment, a test procedure was initiated to establish why mirrors must be used to contain it. The results of SCP-093-T1 lead to the discovery of living beings holding SCP-093 being able to move through mirrors and the series of tests in SCP-093-T2 to ascertain the destination reached through this travel. We will begin by reviewing the Blue and Green Tests. Proceed with caution. This video is derived from https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-093-blue-test and https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-093-green-test, and is released under Creative Commons Sharealike 3.0.

SCP-093-T2 Mirror Tests Testing Protocols Subjects testing SCP-093 must wear a Class 3 buckle harness strapped to the chest and attached to a tension pulley system, allowing for 300 meters or roughly 1000 feet of movement. Additional spools may be added to extend movement if necessary. The clasps connecting these spools must be high grade and capable of withstanding applied force of 0.2 tons. A field kit containing the following should be standard issue for testing of SCP-093. 1. Wrist-mounted light source with 3 hours life span and additional power sources providing up to 6 additional hours. 4. 4.5 liter water bottles with water, 4 MREs of any type, plus 2 plain granola bars, chocolate chips allowed. 1. Standard issue Beretta 9mm firearm with 24 rounds of ammunition, loaded. This is not to be issued until subject has passed into a mirror using SCP-093 and should be given under armed supervision, ensuring that the subject passes through entirely. This item is to be requisitioned first upon subject's return and subject to be made aware of this before leaving line of sight within SCP-093's mirror. One standard issue field knife. The subject is not to be made aware of this item and must find it on his own within the kit. The subject must also be attached to a video system with the camera mounted on the subject's head or shoulders. The video device should be cable based and allow for the same length of travel as the return system. These cameras have shown mixed results and should only be used in testing conditions where SCP-093 is a currently known color. New colors must be tested using wired feed. During testing, the color of SCP-093 must be recorded as well as history of the subject in terms of their incarceration to identify how SCP-093 determines the color to assume. A link appears to be connected to guilt or a lack thereof in the subject's psyche. The attached test results should be read in order. Mirror Test 1 Color Blue Subject is D20384, male, 34 years of age, strong physique. Subject's background shows instance of murder and attempted suicide. Subject is cooperative in all steps of testing. Subject entered the provided mirror while holding SCP-093, which emitted a blue color. Outside, technicians observed that the mirror retained a true reflection until subject had completely passed into it, at which time the view changed to an outdoor landscape heavily tinged in blue. Video feed follows an attached media. Camera activates, flickers to view. Subject is looking out over the same field reported by technicians. Just like typical lowland plains, everything has a heavy blue tinge overlapping the normal colors. No discernible landmarks visible as subject pan's view left to right, only grass, weeds, and a breeze moving the taller grass. No trees, no living beings visible. Subject moves forward as instructed, traveling for approximately 500 steps before something becomes visible. A patch of the land up ahead is barren, and grass can be seen dying as subject approaches it. Approximately 300 steps forward, subject is standing before a hole in the ground. The hole has been dug using unknown tools of primitive origin. Pulley system engaged, and the camera suffers a light shudder. Subject is instructed to enter the hole, and after mild protesting agrees to do so. There is no apparent method of descent such as ladder or rope. Subject relies entirely on his own hands and the pulley system to slow the descent. Approximately 100 meters of cable is used before a bottom is reached. Light source provided in field kit activated 50 meters down when outside sources become unreliable. Sweeping gestures of the light reveal nothing more than dirt, even at the bottom of the hole. Subject moves forward with assistance of light source. Asked about the blue tinge, subject expresses confusion and says there is no such tinge from his perspective and never was. Light is visible down the passage, and 150 meters of cable has been used. Out of the camera's eye, sound is recorded of the firearm being prepared. When questioned about these actions, subject states justified precaution and moves forward. The tunnel turns from bare dirt to a concrete enclosure. Subject complains of a stench. The light source is revealed to be sealing light fixtures, a series of which with less than a quarter broken while the others function. A series of six doors, three to a side, span before the camera view with the seventh door visible at the end of the corridor that has been blocked by what looks like generic metal shelving debris. Debris show signs of rusting and is typical of retail store units, suggesting other human presences. Subject requested to try doors in whatever order he chooses. Subject tries first door on the right, door is locked, does not open. Second door tries to open but does not budge, unlocked, but blocked. Closing second door, third door is tried, same results as first. Going up the other side, the third door does open fully, and light is bright in the room. Portable light switched off at this time as subject pans camera to inspect room. Room is bare, no contents, but walls are filthy. Subject states material on walls isn't dirt, but he can't identify it. Seems to resemble melted plastic, but is brown in color rather than black. Door is closed. Second door on left side has no handle, does not move when pushed. The hole where the handle was is plugged by unknown material. All doors are shaped in such a way that nothing can visibly escape from the sides and space for movement is too thin to look through, even at ground level. First door on left hand is locked, but part of key is present in lock from stem to the ridges. The back has been broken off. With effort, subject manipulates key to open door and immediately begins coughing, complaining of a stench. Walls of room are clean, as is floor. Ceiling is coated in the same strange brown material as the third room. In this room, there is a makeshift cot made from aged blankets with a pillow, a wooden crate containing open boxes of what appears to have been foodstuffs. Language appears on video as squiggles. However, subject states they simply read cereal. A second crate in the room contains what appears to be empty water bottles that have dried out. A book lays next to the cot, closed, no title or identifying marks. On the wall is what appears to be clipped articles, but language cannot be read. Subject asks to remove clippings for retrieval. All articles but one crumble at the touch due to age. The intact article is put in a field sample container and seems the most recent compared to the others. Asked to investigate the book, subject begins to move toward it. Audio on the tape goes strange and a high-pitched screeching noise like grinding metal dominates all communication for 3.5 seconds. Subject has not touched the book still and when the noise stops, subject asks control to repeat request. Control made no requests during that time as headsets were removed. Subject advised to leave room and notes that the door has begun closing slowly on its own and if left alone will close. Subject advised to leave door alone and to investigate door on right. Careful review of the following 10 seconds of tape shows that as the camera pans, a figure is visible at the end of the tunnel where the seventh door is. The door is open, only enough for a face to be seen through a crack just before the door silently closes. No details can be seen. Subject investigates the second door on the right with no mention of anything out of the ordinary. This door when pushed against moves and after repeated bashings moves enough to view inside at an angle. A corkboard is visible with more articles attached to it. The top of a box of cereal can be seen on the floor and what appears to be a hand laying palm up. Subject closes door and pans camera past door 7 which remains closed. Seeing nowhere else to explore, subject requested to return. Subject poses no protest and complains of ever increasing stench. As subject returns back down tunnel, his camera feed does not change or show anomaly but control reports a sudden surge in cable movement pulling an additional 100 meter of cable through before going slack again and then tightening. Video feed shows subject ascending tunnel slowly while control attempts to verify integrity of the pulley system. Subject requested to stop ascent but states he is not climbing, the rope is pulling him up. Panic sets in on both sides and subject informed to ready firearm. Upon reaching top of hole, nothing is visible on camera and subject reports nothing has changed in landscape then begins a return trip following the path of the cable. Traveling for approximately 900 steps, subject asks how much cable he has used. Control admits they are unsure due to complications but subject traveled in a straight line to reach the hole so it should be a straight line back. Subject becomes concerned when he states that more cable is visible now moving in a 90 degree angle away from a point in the ground. Subject pans camera around full circle slowly. On film, behind subject, a crowd of 37 countable figures stand silently. Features are unidentifiable and they are lacking the blue tinge that dominates the landscape. Panic breaks in control again but subject notes only oddity is being the cable having an angled path. Subject tugs his end of the cable, it is taut and does not move. Control begins to reel in the pulley system and slack rapidly winds. Watching the angled cable, movement can be seen as grass is disturbed further down the angled portion from the reeling in then the line vibrates as it meets resistance and emits a twang from the recoil. Subject's camera pans back a long length of cable which now appears to slowly be allowing more slack before suddenly all slack is returned and pulley system begins again. Control requests subject return following cable path and screams are caught on the audio with panic from subject. Five shots fired as subject aims pistol at something not visible on camera. Control reports being able to see subject returning toward point of origin while camera shows wire disappearing into a point floating in the air. As subject passes this point all cable is now in the pulley system and camera films only the floor. Control reports that the mirror took approximately five seconds to return to a reflection and SCP-093 remained blue in color until one hour after being recovered from subject. A vile smelling fluid was present on subject's clothes around his hands when firearm was recovered. This fluid dried quickly and was deemed insignificant of study due to lack of quality sample. Control personnel monitoring the mirror state having seen a massive human being crawling on the ground easily 50 times the size of a normal person with no facial features and a very short arm reach pulling itself toward the mirror before it returned to a reflection. Due to proximity fine details could not be made out but at least one observer noted the being appeared to have been shot from the marks in the otherwise smooth featureless face. Field test kit recovered from subject containing a newspaper article that reads data expunged and was filed as item data expunged. The next test is classified as the green test. Mirror test two color green. Subject is D54493 female 23 years of age average physique. Subject's background shows instance of grand theft auto and second-degree murder of two children during escape with vehicle. Subject is cooperative in all steps of testing. Subject entered the provided mirror while holding SCP-093 which emitted a green color. Outside technicians observed that the mirror retained a true reflection until subject had completely passed into it at which time the view changed to a farming landscape heavily tinged in green similar to the first test. Video feed follows an attached media. Camera activates flickers to view. Subject is looking out over the same farmland reported by technicians. All greens through video feed are deeper and green tinge overlays the normal colors of objects similar to the blue tinge in test one. No landmarks from test one are discernible as subject pants camera over area. Present is a field long abandoned in the middle of which stands the remains of a scarecrow of unknown design. Fragments left are rotted and torn. Nothing grows in the tilled land. A farmhouse is visible to the right of the field. Large, two stories. A basement shelter entrance is visible at one end. Subject prepares her sidearm immediately and is asked by control to relax before proceeding her heavy breathing dominating the audio feed. Subject takes a few minutes and announces that she's fine then proceeds as directed to walk the perimeter of the farmhouse. Children's bicycles to a boys and girls lay against the house near the shelter doors. One of the doors to the shelter lay in the grass torn from the entrance as evidenced by splintering wood. On the stairs lay clothes arranged in a descending order shoes to shirt going down them belonging to a boy. Subject begins screaming at control asking if this is some sort of sick joke. Control assures her they have never seen this environment either and to please calm down. Subject takes several minutes to regain herself before continuing. It is unknown if SCP-093 is linking the subjects past with her landscape. After several minutes subject agrees to continue. Communication to subject is muted and conversation of control making commentary about subjects jittery attitude make up audio for one and a half minutes. Communication restored as subject reaches bottom of stairs. The cellar of the farmhouse is unremarkable and typical. Several wooden shelves line the far wall containing unidentified canned substances. Broken light fixtures sway gently from support beams. Camera is panned across the basement slowly. No evidence of footprints are visible and the basement can be assumed to have been abandoned for some time. Subject begins to comment about a stench. As subject pans the area a metal hatch is visible in the ground similar to a bulkhead on a submarine with a turn handle. Subject remarks that the smell is at its worst around the hatch and the dirt around the hatch is noted as being clumped and clay like. The handle of the hatch is old and the paint chipped. Subject coerced into turning the handle which when fully turned opens the hatch. Subject begins coughing at the release of assumed old stale air. When camera is tilted to view down the hatch it is a white concrete tunnel similar to the one found in the blue experiment but in much better condition. Subject asks to descend later and close hatch behind her. After some convincing subject agrees to descend but does not close the hatch overlooked concerns about severing the pulley return system and doing so are acknowledged. Descent down the ladder and trip to the farmhouse has consumed approximately 53 meters of cable when bottom is reached. The inside of the hatch appears to be a bunker ill-suited to long-term storage. It is spacious about half the size of the actual cellar itself containing three bunks one for a couple and two for single use. Several boxes of food similar to those found during blue marked as cereal fill a waste container near the hatch bottom. On the beds are two skeletons and on the floor is a third lying next to which is a simple six-shooter revolver containing no ammunition. Three spent casings are across the floor near the gun. On the other side of this skeleton is a bound book in good condition this is retrieved and placed into a field kit container upon request. The gun is left alone per request from control. Subject examines more of the bunker focusing on a desk where a newspaper has been cut and is in good condition. The clipped articles are recovered using a field kit container. Little else of interest to be brought back is in the bunker as the camera is panned around. Trash bags containing clothing a few children's toys resembling popular 1950s era products are lined against the wall. Subject is requested to leave the bunker and then sharply asked to wait by a controlled technician who directs the camera view to an area near the exiting doorway to the hatch. Closer inspection as subject moves in finds that a small area has been fitted with what appears to be an ethernet jack the cover of which has been forced slightly away from the wall by a strange amber like substance. Subject refuses to touch or collect a sample commenting that it stinks so bad that if they wanted they can come get it themselves. Control declines and subject leaves bunker. As subject grips ladder to leave the camera pans up for a moment and at the top of the tunnel a humanoid figure is seen peering down. Control asks subject to confirm figure subject states nothing is up there and begins to climb. Figure draws out of camera view after first rung is touched by subject who ascends without incident. At the top of the tunnel no other life is seen nothing has been disturbed. Subject insists nothing was there and closes the hatch then immediately vomits. Subject coughs and uses a supplied water bottle to gargle then freezes and asks if control is hearing that. Control reports no audio. Subject approaches seller hatch cautiously with firearm drawn and lifts her head just enough so camera can view outside area. In the distance approximately 700 meters from the farm two massive humanoid beings are crawling across the landscape. The entities do not notice the subject who remains quiet but whose drawn sidearm is visibly trembling. Subject requested to remain still and silent as beings move. They are featureless facing at an angle moving across the field of vision so the faces are only visible for a few moments. During this time it is clear they have no facial features. The arms they use to drag themselves are short at times and long at others stretching out the varying lengths each time they move. There is no rear area to the beings all bodily design appears to end at the torso. The two creatures take approximately 10 minutes to disappear into the distance before the subject begins to panic and begs to return. Request declined. Subject instructed to enter the home from the seller and not to leave the home under any circumstances. The first floor is entered through a hatch in the ceiling or floor that opens with rusty creaks that cause subject to pause for 37 seconds before continuing upward and entering a kitchen. A heavy layer of dust coats all items in the kitchen. The refrigerator is left open all food is spoiled adjacent the kitchen is a living area that subject enters slowly. There is a recliner a couch and a television all of 1950s style design. In the recliner is a laptop whose case also resembles 1950s decor and is coated in heavy dust. Opening the laptop reveals the last moments of its operating system. Faithful OS leaving a standby mode and immediately shutting off. Laptop has no external power source and will not power back on. When asked to recover laptop it brings the cushion of the recliner with it the two stuck together. Subject advised to leave laptop where it is. The inside door leaving the home is nailed shut with thick wood planks no attempts made to interact with these. Camera view pans to a staircase leading up stairs. Subject ascends the stairs without being asked and the stairs remain silent to control surprise. When subject reaches top of stairs a hallway with two doors is viewed one on each side and at the end of the hall a dumb waiter is unlaid into the wall. Subject opens door on left on her own which opens to a master bedroom. The bed is neatly made but the wardrobe next to it is thrown open and clothes are everywhere on the floor. Subject finds laid out on the bed several pieces of jewelry and is informed to leave them. Subject begins to protest then comments they stink and leaves them alone promptly leaving the room. Subject asked to open second door. The second door opens and gives a view of a shared children's bedroom obviously boy and girl given the types of toys and clothes scattered on the floor. There is also a window which subject approaches and wipes with a curtain to clear dust. Subject requested to move camera to window and does so. The farmland is visible and approximately 40 kilometers from it at best guess a city. As the camera starts to draw back it pans down and films the area around the house approximately 300 figures similar to those from the footage captured during blue test are visible around the home all staring up. Subject has to confirm figures but states nothing is there. Subject requested to return and quickly agrees. Egress from the house is uneventful pulley system shows no erratic behavior as subject returns to point of pulley wires origin allowed groaning noise causes the picture to reverberate technicians at control report they were also able to hear the noise and experienced the vibration. Subject returns through point of origin without investigation and mirror returns to reflective surface scp-093 relinquished video ends return to newspaper fragments filed as the next test is classified as the violet test end of entry to review continued testing on scp-093 go watch scp-093 experiment logs part two the violet yellow and red tests right now

Perceptions of inequality

TLQS Workshop on Inequality Across Scales, Space, Time and Domains | (smr 3830) Speaker: Henrik OLSSON (Santa Fe Institute, USA)

gIZPUKtjGiY

Badi, je tudi pravda začniti, ne? Včetnje noga sečenja. To je tudi o jerarki. Všeč je Enrico Olsson z Vienna in Santa Fe. Kako? Tukaj sem sem. Vse je dobro. Stereo. Dobro, sreči, sreči. Odem, da se počekaj, da smo vse vzelo kot, da je vzelo, da se vzelo. And we can effortfully change our network connections, the way we integrate the information in order to solve the problems we are facing. So this is a complex puzzle, with lots of moving parts, lots of interactive parts, but today I'm going to focus on one specific part of this big, big, big puzzle. Od taj bi bilo, če mi je tukaj še začilo, da mi je z bole thicko. islands želje skróli, če izgleda obrvnih sítor. Prostim, kako je ovo, če je noga še izgleda, kako je zelo zelo vendiv. Svisno, če je do vseh značila, daAAk je, če je dne, kako je je zelo, kako je tačno zelo. Začala tako, če bo zelo, če je je zelo, če je poč鼻, about broader populations to the research on perceptions of inequality. So the last, let me say, 15 years or so, there's been a remarkable kind of uptick in research about perceptions of inequality. And actually this indicators of perceptions of inequality sometimes are better predictors of policy attitudes, public health metrics, and overall well-being than other objective measures. But in this literature, what stands out most when you read it, and you also see it in lots of reviews of this literature, is that there are lots and lots and lots of conflicting results there. Do people underestimate inequality? Lots and lots of studies showing that. Do they overestimate inequality? Lots and lots and lots of studies showing that also. So what is going on there? Like, what is this? So there is one example. So this is two studies published in 2014, 2016, by Seim Bezertal and Pejchen Goldstein. So here they use actually the same kind of the same measure. So they asked people about, so what is the percentage of people that have the annual income in the U.S., under 35,000, between 35,000, 75,000 and so on and so forth. And Pejchen Goldstein also asked this, but a little bit more sophisticated with more categories and so on. But what we see here now, to the left, the Chamber study, is that if you look at the lowest income category, there is an overestimation. And there is an underestimation of the highest income category. Ok, so what about Pejchen Goldstein? Well, surprisingly, I will show you conflicting results today. So we have the opposite area, underestimation of the lowest income category, and we have overestimation of the highest income category. So how can this be? There is pretty much a similar measure, similar things, but we still get very, very different results. We go through all and all and all of this literature of subjective perceptions using different measures. And I say different measures. And this is one of the things that also kind of stands out in this literature, is that there are so many different measures. And there has been, of course, in people discussing this, like, God, we have so many different measures. What should we do? So, for example, we have three different types of measures, which are used a lot in international service and so on. We have these distribution measures. We ask about distributions directly. We also have ratio measures. So you take questions such as, how much do you think the share amount of large natural cooperation earns? And then you also ask, how much do you think an unskilled worker in the factory earns, and you take the ratio of those two when they are correlated with different things? Another thing, like, ok, people do this research, oh, but people might not be so good in action numbers, so let's do pictures instead, distributional pictures. So here is more like an ordinal measure, where people have to match different shapes and distributions to what they think their country's distribution of income is. There's also a measure that's used a lot in lots of different international service. Ok, but there are also other problems here that have been pointed out in the literature. It's like, exactly what are we asking about here? So sometimes in, when you summarize this literature, you say that, oh, underestimation, overestimation, but of what? Is it annual income? Is it house of wealth? Is it before and after taxes? There's lots of different ways, different wealth measures that we used also. All these things that we'll come back to and discuss all these different measures and the actual measures for wealth. So, how can people do this? How can people make judgments of broader populations? Well, obvious first thing is, as we recall, what is in the distribution, you know it. There seems less likely, because most people don't know. They need to make some inference about this, what the distribution is and how much different people's incomes are. Other things that's also been used in literature, like, okay, let's not have a model, we have some uniform prior, maybe updated with something and some of that. That might also be something. Of course, all of this can be then kind of colored by our political preferences and other beliefs that kind of bias in judgments there and there and so forth. But what I want to focus on today is something that has been in focus actually in the last few years in literature on perception inequality and that is the characteristics of your immediate social environment. And it's been shown now in actually quite a lot of studies that people's perception of inequality and other populations actually is influenced by their immediate social environment. And that can be done in different ways. So, for example, in this article, they took the actual income in the zip code where their participants were located so how that related to their distributional preferences but also, in their case, their different preference for redistributional policies. But what we have done in our studies is that we use perceived wealth. So what we do is we ask people in your social circle, where the social circle is defined as people you are being in contact with, your friends, your family, and so on, but what percentage of people in your social circle are having an income that is less than 25,000 so we get the distributional judgment of that. And then we use that as a basis for our models of how you use that information to make judgments of broader populations. So the main idea here is then the population estimates are based on perceived characteristics from people's social circles. So what about these social circles? How do they look? Can people actually do these judgments? So how accurate are they? So here are examples of individual social circle estimates. So these on the left here are six different participants that are located on different places in the distribution themselves. They make these social circle estimates. And we see here now for three different distributions, also wealth, work stress, interest in a model that can explain distributional judgments of characteristics in for many different target kind of variables. And we see here that let's see if I can manage this. Oh, yeah, it works. Whoa, this is difficult. Okay. So for example here we have these participants, it's located at the lower end here, at one. At the top here. And you see that the social circle estimate is like, okay, it's like mostly in the bottom part here and it tapers off here. And then if you look down to this one, the better off, mostly of estimator social circle is mostly where that person is located in the distribution. Which is then, well, obviously we interact with people that are similar to us, we live in neighborhoods that have similar wealth but we also see that it's not always the case. I mean, for example, this participant is actually here up here at 6. But it seems that the participant in this particular study has actually social circle is located way lower than others. So we get this also variation of these social circle estimates. Okay, so they can actually make social circle estimates because one could be that they just report where they are and actually do this. Okay, are these estimates accurate? Well, we have some for some indirect evidence that these are actually accurate. So, this is results from a study in the Netherlands, a national representative survey where we ask people about house of wealth, number of friends, work stress and so on. Different types of distributions. And we see if you take the average of these social circle estimates, they are remarkably corresponding to the population census for these different variables. So that's at least an indirect evidence that there is something there in the social circle that's actually accurate. Okay, but now you're thinking but the population estimates are biased. Or can that be? But before I go into that, I can also say that we have used other indirect indicators that show that these social circle estimates are actually accurate. So we have used these social circle questions in predicting, forecasting elections. And what we do then is basically ask people, okay, in your social circle define this, people you interacted with in the last 30 days that can vote. What percentage do you think will vote for Trump? What percentage do you think will vote for Biden? And others. And we show here that this social circle question can outperform the traditional question of asking us who will you vote for in six different national elections across four different countries. And we see here in the picture here in the figure the absolute error for own intentions is the traditional question and social circle question that the average error, the error here is lower for the social circle across these three. And then we see that same pattern across all these different elections. Which is a further indication that social circle estimates actually capture something that's real in your social circle. So how can this be, why? Why is it the case that this outperform the own intention? Well, one is simply a kind of a wisdom of crowds effect. Because basically what we're doing here, you ask one person, but it gives estimate of what other people work. So basically you increase the sample size. If this is accurate representations of the social circle we vote, then this will actually kind of increase the sample size and also increase the accuracy. But maybe most more importantly is that this way of asking can reach populations that you don't reach by other surveys. So it could be that many people that they don't answer it. No matter what that person would have answered. So that's also a contributing factor to why this works. Ok, back to the question that I asked. So how can it be that the population estimates are still biased if they base their judgments on the social circles? Yes. Oh, that's just sorry, that's just what will you vote for? Do you mean elections? So the question is ok, so let's take the election. So here there are three types of questions. One question is what will you vote for in the election? That's the only question. The other question is the social circle question. What percentage in your social circle do you think will vote for Biden, Trump and so on and so forth? And then we actually have the pop so in this case you see here the election winner question here also is called election winner. Then we ask basically who will win this is a population question the election winner. Who do you think will win the election? Which is basically an estimator of the population, what the population will do. So these are the three questions we have here. Yes, of course. So this is a forecast of the election results. Like the standard forecast in election results so we compare that to the actual percentages that Trump, Biden and other got. Just by averaging the social circle estimate by taking the average of the older what you think that what would you will vote and also average of ok who will win the election. And all that we show this. But the idea here then when we go further here is that now we come to the second step is that we actually use this information in circles to make this population estimates. And that is the how can we go from how do people use this information in order to make population estimates. What? Oh sorry. Yes. So typically in this election studies you have several waves before the election. So wave one is further away than wave three. Wave three here is always just before the election while this other waves are several weeks or several months before the election. Yes. Ok, so more specifically we usually use a definition I mean this is also for the debate exactly how we can do this. But we say that we tell them that you are now going to estimate the percentages of different things in your social circle. Or your social, we call them social contacts because it's more easily for people to understand that. And we define that those that are your friends, family or acquaintances that you have interacted with frequently in the last 30 days. That's a standard thing that you use. And then in addition in this election studies we also need to have some things that need to be over 18 down to that. So that's our usual definition that we use throughout our different studies. If you suppose there is a social network then this is not possible. It's a bias example. Yes, it could be but then if you have a national representative sample then you are sampled in a representative way and then you can give information about others that are like you really like you. So it becomes maybe more like a two-step not snowball sample but almost like that. Yeah. Yes, true. That's all true. That's all true. That's true. Yes, that's true but it also brings this opportunity that you can get people that don't answer the survey. If I ask you and some of your friends they never answer the survey. But you can estimate what that person will say then we get information about that person when we ask you. So that increases the information value that you can use to predict. Okay. Any more questions? No, actually this is just pretty, I mean what you said, what will you vote for? Trump. What will you vote for? Biden. And then there's a standard question in the survey for forecasting. That's all we're doing. We're just asking standard questions about people. If it was election today, what will you vote for? Or actually what is the percentage chance that you will vote for Biden? And then you ask you what is the percentage or your social circle that will vote for Biden? The whole population in the U.S. will vote for Biden. These are the three questions. Yes. So these are three different questions. And I mean this election winner question has been used a lot actually. I mean who will win the election? That's been used in the U.S. in the early 2030s, but not so much in the polling industry. They're still using the question who will you vote for? It was the election today. What is the outcome of the election? What is the prediction if I take the average? The average. We just have to do exactly the same as any server polling thing. This is just a side point. I just wanted to show you this. OK. Is this something of us? No, so actually this is so the error lower is better. This average, absolute error. But I know you're on top. So this is actually quite a typical. These two things, the 2010 and 2020. If you look back throughout the polling history and if you compare this election winner question the error is usually lower than on attention. It's usually better than asking people about yourself. Not in these cases, but overall it's actually the case that asking about what people who think will win the election is actually usually better than just to ask everybody who they will vote for. OK, let's move on. I just wanted to show this. We can actually use the information in this situation. OK. Back to the biased distributional assessments. So we see here this. There is some bias when you ask people about characteristics in overall broader populations. So in order to understand why is this the case we need to go into exactly how people are doing these estimations. So the first thing we can notice population estimates which is on the bottom part of this figure estimated population distributions for health and wealth, number of friends and work stress. And we have separately plotted here these estimations or perceptions for worse off and better off people. And the same for estimated social circle distributions for worse off and better off. First we can notice, oh look the population estimates fall and we also see that they are a little bit more flattened. See there is more peaky the social circle distributions than the population distributions. So here is the the key to that is that that can have many different causes like statistical causes that error in the way you translate from your social circle distribution to population distributions that error is going to flatten things. What we think is happening here in our model is that people know, I mean I know in my social circle I know that my social circle is not representative of the population. So I try to kind of smooth that out a little bit because I know that this is not the case and one way of doing that is that you retrieve instances of people from your social circle but you try not to retrieve those are more similar to you but those are more dissimilar to you which also then lead to this flattening distribution. So that is mechanism that we implement in a formal model of population estimates. Ok. Then we can implement a simple statistical version of this. Extremely simple, as we call SSM there is basically a model that adjusts towards the average of all social circle estimates and makes it more smooth. As compared to what we call a regression account where simply that let's take the actual population distribution and at the same process of kind of smoothening it out, basically a regression account and we see here that our extremely simple account can then account for both worse of and better of people. That's just an example. Ok. So now ok, so now we are in the position to try to explain these conflicting results that we saw in the beginning. Ok. So we saw here that there is a difference in overestimation and underestimation of the lower and higher income category between these two. We see that there is basically the same kind of measure, distributional measure but to note here is that to the right, the page in Goldstein study, they used a national representative survey. It's actually what we will expect then due to this regression account and others that we wouldn't underestimate the lowest income category and overestimate the highest income category. But in the chambers at all they used a convenience sample for American mechanical Turk which then is not national representative. So what you can do here now, ok, what type of participants do we have here actually. So here we see the income distribution because they reported this in the supplemental materials. And we see that the participants incomes is more severely skewed than the actual population income. And then the simple idea that, ok, if people based the judgment of populations from their social circle we would find this that they owe. They will give a lot of they will give a lot, a lot more in the under 35,000 and they will give less in the 75,000 over. And they will give the smooth a little bit because this is quite strong effects in terms of their actual distribution. So even the smooth a little bit we will still expect that this part can hold. So it's important to not just take the studies that they are we need to know where do the participant comes from how do they solve the task. So there is at least one contributing factor to this conflicting results for this distribution of measures. Ok, that was distribution of measures. What about this ratio measures? That's been used a lot. And and the more, the consistently when you use this measure it's consistent to find that people are underestimated in the quality. So for example in 2012 the estimated ratio was 30 to 1 there was also a national representative survey when it was actual 154. And but then, what is this question? How do people solve this question when they see this question? So when I see this question, ok, how am I supposed to solve this question? Is it a typical Sherman? Is it any Sherman? Someone I know is it such a mean or median is unclear exactly how what should you base this on. And we don't know actually how people solve this and we need more research and exactly what's happening when people are getting this question. One little indication that it might not be so much about social circle in this question is that if you look at for example this study site there from 2014 it's actually similar ratios across socioeconomic status which might suggest that this is actually less influence on social circles for this particular question. Because people from different parts have similar ratios. So that's a little bit unclear of this ratio measure. We'll come back to ratio measures a little bit later. Ok. Then we have this ordinal measures. So this shows results from Nihouse 2014. So Nihouse did this aggregate measure. Because we can think of this is now from the US with different percentages. That also different things. But probably those that choose type A there is a high concentration in the lower part they are probably from the lower part of the distribution the income while those in type A probably based on what we discussed so far are probably from the higher part. But if we combine all this somehow then we should actually get a pretty good picture of the distribution correspondence with the actual distribution and the estimated distribution based on this measure. And that was also what Nihouse did there. So she combined all this and what we see here if we combine all this we actually see that we see a little bit of underestimation of those categories. Pretty good. Ok. That's all good and fine. But this is just one example. If we then look at the different countries of course we still see difference between countries as we pointed out again and again. But again what explains these differences? I mean, across countries how do they interpret these different categories? Do they do that the same way across countries across cultures, across different norms for different things? Still unclear if we can actually compare this across countries and we don't know how people different people and individual differences and culture differences how you interpret these different pictures. That's where we stand on this measure. And of course different samples of participants. Ok. Yes. True. We can still have differences. I mean, what do you perceptions of what do you believe is this between zero and $20,000 or is it between zero and $50,000 or is it between zero and $200? Exactly. We don't know the difference if I can take a look at the other slide. Yeah, and it's also a very crude measure. And then people so, I mean, they use this measure for different things also. They use it for ideal type of societies. They show that this measure actually that correlates pretty well with redistributional preferences how you want an ideal society to look like for example. Yeah, I'm still skeptical about this measure because of, I mean, we don't know how people actually interpret that and what they're doing there. Ok. And of course, then we have this question about different wealth measures. Sometimes this can be very difficult for participants or people in general to understand. You see sometimes in instructions to people explain different wealth measures like aggregated net worth across households. People know that. So there can be one problem. Another problem is of course if we now rely on our media social environment to make population distributional judgments of course we have different visibility in different parts of society. We see different wealth in different parts. We can have different social norms about sharing information about the income of wealth. We're also of course going to influence how we make judgments about inequality. Ok. Let me, what is the time actually? Ok. So, obvious conclusion is that results of preceding equality depend on the way it's measured. That's not necessarily bad because it depends on what we are interested in also. Are we interested in in the upper part and lower part of the distribution? Maybe the ratio measure could be good there. Are we interested in the whole distribution? Ask about the whole distribution. But don't expect them to coincide with the type of process people are using to come to these estimates and the actual shape of distributions. And also I hope you are convinced that estimates of inequality or in general estimates of population characteristics depend on immediate social environment. And I think it's important to before we start relating measures of inequality, we like redistribute the preferences. I think we need to kind of understand how people actually are doing these judgments. Like, what type of representations do they have of their immediate social environment? Or, what are the processes that works on these representations? And finally then, how do these processes then interact with the structure of the immediate and broader environment? And then of course on top of that we have different ways of asking which also interact with all these three other things. I mean, there's lots of open questions there, but let me just take a few things. So, when we ask about inequality, what are we exactly asking about? Are we asking about inequality, or are we asking more about political preferences? So, these ratio questions, for example, when I see these questions, I immediately start thinking about redistributive policies and so on. Like, oh, yeah. But if I ask at the distribution, I might not think about that so much. Percentage here, percentage there. Or maybe, this is just me speculating, maybe it's not surprising, it's actually shown that ratio questions are pretty good to pretty good predictors, or they actually at least correlate with political preference like redistributive preferences. And they seem to correlate more than distribution questions. Although distribution questions has not been used so much. But still, there's something to think about. And of course also, what part of distribution are we interested in here? I mean, different questions target different parts of the distribution. So, we're interested in the low part, high part, both of the low part, the difference between the low and the high part, the whole distribution of wealth, different groups of gender race, et cetera. Different concentrations of wealth in different parts there might trigger different beliefs about inequality. And then, of course, we have a bigger question. What are we asking about? Are we asking about the interest in the local inequalities? In the national, between groups in the country, are we interested in the global inequality? Because all of this is different and might trigger different processes, there are different distributions involved and so on, so forth. And on top of that we have intergenerational inequality and all of that. And that was what happened. Thank you. Thank you for very inspiring talk. Thank you. Thank you. So, you talked a lot about how people estimate income and so on. Have you also studied how people perceive the fairness like what they think, what distribution they would perceive as being fair or unequal? No, we have not. There is a lot of studies on that, actually. So, both in terms of, especially when it comes to this pictorial studies, so you ask both to match it to your nation or society or whatever you ask about. But also, how do you think the society should be? And I don't know that literature 100%, so I just know that there is a lot of studies about that. But we have not done that. So, I was just wondering, I mean, are there also studies that shows that how people perceive the dangers of climate change compared to what actually the specialists know, like how people are perceiving how bad things really are. And because I was also feeling that it might also depend which part of the planet it might be. Yes, definitely. So, I have not done that, but I know there are studies, but if you just extrapolate a little bit here. If it is important to meet a social environment, it seems reasonable to suggest that people, I don't know, in different parts of the world, in different weather, I mean usually the weather every day or you hear about different catastrophes and so on. So, this is my question. We need to address this while I am living in the northern part of Sweden and I am also concerned. But on average, how does it happen? On average, do people really perceive the dangers well or are they way of the mark? I think that I don't know for climate and estimates for the... I mean, there is also a lot of uncertainties there. I mean, there are no risks, but exactly if you take a model outcome of the predictions of what's going to happen with the average temperature in 200, 300 years, there's also uncertainty of that. How do you compare it? To what are you going to compare the risks with, for example? But I don't know that literature, but I know there are studies that compare that, but I cannot also... Maybe I can just talk later So I have a general question. My impression is that most of what you are talking is about absolute perception or absolute wealth. Yes. Whereas my are at somewhere that we are better at perceiving relative wealth. So I can know whether say you earn, say, 20% more or 20% less so your wealth with respect to mine and somehow looks like this idea of social circles maybe goes in this direction in the sense that we have a better perception of how we stand in our... On the other hand, I mean... So my question is would the questioners improve if the questioner asked in terms of relative wealth rather than absolute wealth? So that's also a complicated question. So one thing is about in general the relative thing. I mean the ratio questions are a little bit like that. Like you compare that. But they have other problems then because it seems that they are way off in terms of the relative difference between the high earners and the low earners. And then we come to this question about the relative thing. The thing with the relative standing is going to involve so many other processes also. I am here in this position and compare yourself to this lawyer over there which might in effect trigger other process, more bias process. But as I said earlier we will ask about distributions. And we show here that distributions are actually quite accurate when you do the absolute percentages in different categories. But when you start to include comparison processes that might lead to different things. Having said that, we also have in our model we also have implemented this kind of relative and distribution judgments. And we can actually explain different we can say this we can explain different effects of asking relative or absolute judgments just because of the interaction between our processes and the distribution shapes of social circles and the actual distribution shape. But there is a bit too much to go into here. But yes, I can say that in our experience asking for absolute judgments or percentages in the distribution they are actually pretty good. Although because of that they use their social circle estimates you are going to see them a little bit flattened a little bit of a regression effect on it. But actually if you plotted it the bias, when you read the literature on inequality and any distribution you always see there is all the way off. There are no correlations with objective reality whatsoever that is not true. There is a correlation between them and if you ask them for the distribution shape they are pretty good. So when you say psychology what do you mean? No, but that's an interesting question. I mean, that's something that definitely worth pursuing because most in the social psychology literature about judgments of others is individual persons. And you say like what is the personality characteristics of FRIBA? Is it high on this? You're outgoing or a little bit neurotic maybe? And then you compare and then you ask the same questions and then we see how this corresponds. So there's been lots of work on that. We form impressions in the first 30 seconds and all this kind of stuff. But then as you said asking them about the general population in a similar sense that would be about the psychological processes more. So there's an interesting question. I mean, there's lots of maybe I'll try to hint at different things. So if I get this question what would I do? I mean, first obvious thing is oh, so there are many sources of information that you use to answer that question. Different process of that. One is obviously oh, yesterday I read about this CEO on $30,000 only okay. Then I base my judgment on that basically. Or I can't retrieve things from a memory about oh, I know this CEO or I don't know a CEO so I have to guess. So before I know that we need to know what do people know? What are the retriever processes or the inferential processes? So I think making a blanket statement of people do that is very much going to be context dependent in social environment. The influence that other sources of information like social media or regular media has. Unfortunately that is the only thing I can say at this point. There is a quick one I guess. So we talk about perception or misperception. So I was just wondering if you have any sides about changes in perception. Because I think sustainability problems so perhaps we understand how people change their perceptions. So in that sense we don't have the for this regular distribution. We have a little bit of that when we have the forecasting thing. Then we can see how do your own beliefs of what you will vote for and how that relates to your social circle. We can see that over time how that changes. We can then see okay why political events? How does it change the beliefs over time? We can see that in time series. We can also have ideas about how you influence by the social environment. Maybe the social environment is a better predictor of what you will do in the future. For example we can see some evidence that we ask people about the social circle how they will vote and how yourself will vote. We can see that in some circumstances when we say that your social circle will vote it's a better predictor of what you will vote for what you actually voted for. We seem to suggest then that there's this social influence that okay I'm not so sure about this maybe I go by them and then everybody around say like Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump okay I will vote for Trump. So the social circle can be used as a crystal ball in some circumstances to understand changes in your beliefs in your behavior.

Green Mountain Care Board - February 2, 2022 [GMCB]

gIVEPlcIn1Q

meeting to order. The first item on the agenda is the executive directors report, Susan Barrett. Thank you Mr. Chair. I want to first announce that the Green Mountain Care Board submitted two reports yesterday. One was the hospital sustainability report and the other was the reimbursement variation report. Both of these reports are on our website under what's new also they're under legislative reports and if you have a hard time finding them please reach out to me or Karen we can make sure you find them. I just want to make sure that I thank stakeholders for both of these reports. We we know it was a hard time over the last couple of years to take time to provide input on both of these reports so I just want to thank you for providing your valuable input to our staff as we finished up these reports and submitted them to the legislature. We're really looking forward to the next steps on both of these reports. I also want to announce that we have a couple of public comments sessions going on right now. The first is in regard to the essential health benefits benefit benchmark plan. We heard about that last week and if we could have those comments to the board by close of business February 11th then they could be considered for the potential vote that is that are scheduled on February 16th or March 2nd of 2022. And then I will also announce that we are have been accepting public comments for about the last year over a year on a potential next agreement with our federal partners for an all-payer model. Please send those to us if you have any comments regarding those next steps. We are sharing all those comments with the governor's office as well as our AHS partners as they are leading the negotiations. And then last but certainly not least please take a look at our website for the calendar for February. Our meetings are listed. We have a couple of extra meetings beyond the board meetings. We had one yesterday the data governance council meeting. We also have our primary care advisory group on February 16th which starts at 5 p.m. If you have any questions please reach out. I will turn it back to you Mr. Chair. Thank you Susan. The next item on the agenda are the minutes of Wednesday January 26th. Is there a motion? So moved. Second. It's been moved and seconded to approve the minutes of Wednesday January 26th without any additions deletions or corrections. Is there any discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor of the motion please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed please signify by saying nay. Let the record show that the motion passed unanimously. So next we're going to turn to a discussion of the health care strategic workforce plan and we're going to receive an update from the director of health care reform Ina Bacchus. So Ina whenever you are ready take it away. Thank you. Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for the introduction Chair Mullen. I would like to give an update with there's been a lot of progress towards implementing the health care workforce development strategic plan on numerous levels both and a number of strategies articulated in that plan featured in the administration's proposals to the legislature. We've since submitting the plan we've recommended support for a program of recruitment retention and training which we are pleased to be working with the legislature on. We've also recommended increasing the dollars available for scholarships for nurses increasing the dollars available for nurse loan repayment and have proposed refundable income tax credit for nurses and nurse educators and further we propose specific strategies as recommended by the workforce development plan to promote Vermont as a excellent place to live and work as a nurse specifically and further there is work underway regarding marketing campaign which would promote enrollment in career and technical education programs and emphasize those careers for health care providers as well as initiatives that have been provided for in the budget proposal to support expanding the availability of housing in Vermont as well as as well as bolstering childcare availability in the state. That's a very high level broad overview of a lot of different pieces that have been proposed to be supporting nurse and health care workforce in the state of Vermont. We are also actively working across departments and agencies in state government to address other recommendations in the report such as convening with the programs of health education to explore the barriers to increasing enrollment in education programs for nurses specifically and we're certainly working across entities to think strategically about how we again attract retain and really advance Vermont as an ideal place for working in the health care field. Do you want to take questions at this point? I can certainly take questions I can provide some more if you're interested in going into detail on some of the aspects of the proposals I'm happy to do that as well. So detail would be great. Give an overview of the breadth of work that's been taking shape since we last talked about the health care workforce development plan. Specific to the recruitment retention and training proposal we're proposing to invest dollars to be available for recruitment retention and training of health care providers. That proposal is for dollars through the Budget Adjustment Act and we're proposing that AHS administer a needs-based program to support providers with recruitment retention and training needs. The program would allow flexibilities for employers to propose how to allocate funding within the terms and conditions of the program and to identify recruitment needs retention needs training needs and other creative incentives that could provide for more interest in working for Vermont-based employers. This program proposal does include a service agreement component where the employer in receipt of the funds would provide those funds to employees contingent on a service agreement. We've proposed a service agreement that could be 12 to 24 months. I think we have to continue to hone in on what that agreement would be as we look to implement if we're successful in implementing the program. That program would look at needs based on vacancy potentially look at having needs assessment based on vacancy rates based on turnover for organizations certainly based on organizing you know maintaining critical capacity to maintain access to care. Additional dollars as I say were as I said were proposed also to support nurse scholarships and would continue and expand upon the existing scholarship program for Vermonters and out-of-state individuals to attend nursing programs at Vermont College's universities and universities. This would include students pursuing practical nursing certificates, associates degree in nursing, bachelor of science degree in nursing all included in that scholarship program and this program also it does it does exist today. It is administered with partnership with VSAC and the program as it exists today has a service component to the program. So for each year of scholarship a year of service is required. Further we propose to expand loan repayment for nurses who live in Vermont and who are permanently employed by by Vermont healthcare provider employers. This program also contains a service agreement obligation to live and work in Vermont for each year of loan payment that would be provided through the program. This again is an existing program. The area health education sector is currently administer nurse loan repayment for nurses and again we've also proposed a tax incentive for nurses and nurse educators. The tax credit credit would be available to those nurses and nurse educators living and working as permanent employees for Vermont provider employers and the incentive would include registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, licensed nurse assistants and nurse educators and finally we've proposed that the agency of human services working together with the agency of commerce and community development leverage existing platforms for marketing the state of Vermont and establish a marketing campaign specifically to draw nurses from other states and internationally and to amplify the full range of incentives for living and working as a nurse in Vermont to include the scholarship programs, the loan repayment programs, tax incentives, the fast track for licensure which I know that we talked about in in the presentation of the healthcare workforce development strategic plan that is a program through the Office of Professional Regulation speeds the path to licensure for persons coming to work in Vermont and the program of marketing Vermont as a place to live and work would also feature the availability of relocation programs to support persons coming from away to live and work in Vermont and capitalize on the high COVID-19 vaccination rate in our state which does which does impact how providers are delivering healthcare. Now I can definitely pause here for for questions or discussion. Super so these are wonderful things and thank you for your hard work on this can you help walk me through the dollars I see the the 15 million and the 18 million in the budget are there other dollars elsewhere? So yes 15 and 18 million were proposed in the budget adjustment act from two funding sources both both for the purposes of the recruitment retention and training program so that's a total of 33 million that was proposed. The proposal for the the nurse scholarship program is for the FY23 budget to include three million for this purpose for the nurse loan repayment the FY23 budget proposal is for two million for this purpose. So it looks like a total of 38 mil? For those initiatives there's also a value for the tax the income tax credit I would certainly urge you if you're interested in exploring this further this could be an area that you might want to speak with with tax department about specifically but I think that you know this too has has is an investment as well. I'm pursuing this line just because I think most people tuning in would think geez that's a lot of money but then when you start to look at 120 million spent by this state and so on and so forth and and our neighbors to the west New York state the governor has a 10 billion dollar healthcare workforce proposal so when you do the math that works out to 494 dollars for every resident of the state of New York and if you did that same math for Vermont you're talking about a little over 315 million that just to to stay competitive with our neighbor to the west so I just bring that up that when people hear these large numbers it's really not large compared to what other states are doing and I did want to talk about the faculty because I was wondering if the administration is considering proposing language that would specifically raise the the salaries for the nursing faculty in the state. We are not considering we're we're engaging in the work that the strategic plan outlined and in fact the office of professional regulation is facilitating a working group to explore the barriers particularly for increasing the number of students that are educated in Vermont and those barriers as stated in the workforce development strategic plan do include exploring the differences between faculty pay and clinical pay as well as looking at the issues posed for the availability of preceptor slots and that work is underway that group met yesterday yesterday evening um or perhaps the date no yesterday yeah I came earlier this week that group met um in the evening uh and and there was a very productive discussion there so that work is going to be underway and that will inform any potential further recommendations in this area. How quickly with those with those recommendations come out? Well I think the group is is is just beginning the process of exploring these issues but understands that there certainly is very much attention on this issue and the will for there to be you know problem solving in this area so I I think that it is it's feasible that there could be some recommendations or some insights from that work that come during the legislative session. I just hate to see this drag out we've known about the disparity in the pay for educators for quite some time and I just want to repeat a conversation that I had with an individual so this is second hand information but I'm told that uh Vermont Tech Williston um only accepted about 20 percent of the qualified applicants this is qualified for the nursing program and you know we're in this crisis and to think that we have these Vermonters that want to um dedicate themselves to a career in nursing and they can't get into um a program it just seems like the quicker we solve these barriers on both the faculty in and on the precepting in you know there's a time lag no matter what but it just seems like if this drags out for another year we've just wasted another year to expand our supply of nurses in in the coming years so that's my concern there. Other board members questions or comments? Yes chair this is Tom Walsh I have some question Anna um you mentioned a couple of the programs that have been existing and I and you may have gone through this before I'm I'm new but I was wondering about efforts to understand their utilization patterns have they been highly utilized or not highly utilized why and if they've been under utilized what efforts are being made to address that so these new efforts are are more fruitful. Thank you thank you for the question uh there's certainly more demand for these programs than there are um than there have been a dollars available to meet the need and so that was um a factor in uh the advisory group that advised on um the healthcare workforce development strategic plan certainly encouraged that um you know programs were uh highly subscribed and that there could be an expansion and increased investment in these programs and both of the in both the case of the nurse scholarships as well as nurse loan repayment these programs have been popular and and utilized again with more applicants specifically in seeking nurse loan repayment than you know significantly more applicants than need could be met. Thank you. Other comments or questions from the board? I was curious about the um interagency task force and sort of the status of that group and we're working across agencies in strategic teams very much task oriented and have been um since you know uh since the report was basically um put into you know put into effect if you will um and that work is increasing um in frequency as we are tackling for instance key issues related to um how we work together uh certainly to promote Vermont as the best you know as as it is or really I was born and raised here and I I'm here now I love living and working here it is a fabulous place um and so I think I can I can truly say is the best place to live and work from my point of view. Other questions or comments from board members? Yeah just two quick ones go ahead Tom. Um I'll be I'll be real quick because I was going to ask the exact question that Robin asked. I'm sitting here looking at page six of the workforce report where it talks about the establishment of the state interagency task force and I remember conversations about wondering you know because it was kind of an ad hoc group um you know what what uh how it would unfold and I I guess I just uh you know um but Robin did me to it it's all yours uh Jess. Okay just two quick questions for you Ina um and thank you it's exciting to see some progress on this front as we know it's an acute shortage. I'm wondering one um when you mentioned the um service agreement duration of 12 to 24 months and I'm just wondering like 12 seems awfully short and I'm wondering if there is um you know what is the evidence out there of the time it takes for folks to sort of integrate into the community such that retention rates are higher. Is there any evidence out there what the duration optimal duration is to basically retain those workers in our communities? And if you don't know that that's fine I'm just that's something I you know when you suggested 12 months it seemed short to me so um I would love to think you know about that a little bit more and then I guess the other question is is there any uh sense in which how much how much is it going to impact the workforce sort of to Kevin's point about you know the dollars invested and I'm wondering for example you know is you know do we know if we had increased you know scholarships by three million dollars how many nurses is that going to recruit into the state or you know for increasing the loan repayment by two million dollars just based on historical experience you know what is the marginal benefit on of that you know in terms of additional workforce and even just thinking about the 33 million do we have any estimates of the cost per recruited nurse that we could back of the envelope calculate how much you know this investment what can we anticipate being the increase in our workforce from these 38 million dollars um and I recognize back of the envelope is all that it could possibly be but I'm just trying to understand how much of an impact it's going to have on our shortage it's a great question I don't want to try to do I I don't want to try to do someone that math in my head right now but I can provide you know I can definitely um provide and it's actually in the nurse excuse me the healthcare workforce strategic plan um at least the scholarship and loan repayment information that the plan captures how much we've had in investment available and the number of scholarships um provided for you know within within the parameters of the dollars available and so um we certainly did look at if you provide significantly more dollars uh then you will in you know be able to increase um the the number of at least loan repayment opportunities or scholarships available I can provide you that um analysis but I don't have it right at the top of my head thank you and that's great I would just follow up on that though that if um and I'm a big fan of scholarships for service I I think it's a great program and I think that you could get a lot more than the 12 months but I I just want to keep uh striking this point that scholarships aren't going to help if they can't get into a nursing program and so we need to expand the capacity um otherwise the scholarship dollars really haven't done anything other than display somebody that would have uh have found a way to pay for it anyways and I'm not suggesting that scholarships aren't a good idea I think they absolutely have to be part of the proposal but I I'm just saying that I think the highest priority has to be able to expand the capacity of the existing programs I I I appreciate that point on the scholarships um on the on the scholarships I do want to uh clarify that the scholarship are that persons are eligible for the scholarship for more than one year of their study and so for each year that they receive scholarship then is the corresponding year of service so if a person is a recipient of the scholarship for more than one year then they do um they do wind up with a service term that is longer than a year um for each year of scholarship received so it does stack up that way so there's a little it's it's not just you get a scholarship and and it's 12 a 12 month agreement I'm curious if the task force had any discussions about possibly um if a student certified that um they couldn't get into a program in the state of vermont that the scholarship could be used for a program outside of the state of vermont and um as long as they agree to the service in the state and whether or not um that idea would have any merit or is it uh just another one of my boneheaded ideas because there's no way to enforce that they actually work in vermont so just curious if that conversation occurred well the again we're we're looking to um provide for increased investment in a current program and my understanding of that current program is that it does prioritize um scholarships first for those attending schools in the state of vermont but that it does not exclude scholarships for those who may be attending out outside of school but there is a hierarchy in the uh prior in in the um criteria do we know what percentage of the nursing students that graduate from uvm stay in the state I don't know that no I I it would be interesting to see you know like castleton there may be a lot of new york students going to castleton because it's not that far from the new york border I don't know and I'm just curious uh you know what the retention of the new students is within the state and I also think that on the other end we need to uh figure out ways to allow for more clinical experience and precepting and and uh you know that may mean some resource dollars to institutions so that they can allocate the staff that they're so short on um to um actually precept with the students versus needing them just to keep the uh um current functions going so I think I think your observation about retention of this of the students who are educated within the state is spot on and that uh as we look at again the work underway to really amplify the all of the package of incentives for vermontras to live and work in the or for nurses to live and work as uh residents of the state and as permanent employees of healthcare providers students are are very much a part of that a part of that audience just so much to do and uh I know you're so busy and uh I appreciate everything you're doing on this so I do wish we had um some more guns to help you but we don't I'm not doing this work alone and I think I shared this in our in our last discussion we really are bringing together and leveraging the resources across agencies and departments I I may be the spokesperson for this particular plan informed by the advisory group but this work is is being carried out in that in that um spirit of collaboration that's been very well practiced um particularly in light of the public health emergency but that is I think it just um uh cooperation and collaboration across state government at its finest okay other questions or comments from the board did you have anything further you wanted to what discuss with us or should we go right to public comment you know I don't have anything further I wanted to provide a general update to where we are um we have made a significant amount of progress with the recommendations in the plan and are continuing with the work to to carry out other recommendations that are are part of the plan and so I'm happy to share that progress with you today I know that the board has likely been following some of that in in the legislature and aware of what's been proposed in the budget adjustment as well as in the budget um on on the workforce front and again that the workforce um workforce and investments in workforce on the whole also contribute to improving the health care workforce like I mentioned and also was featured in the health care workforce development plan we certainly need to invest in those programs that would create more housing availability and and support child care availability in the state both of those things are part of the administration's budget proposal we continually hear about problems for housing for even travelers so it's something that is a huge problem and some areas are better than others but one of the things I wanted to ask you because you talk about the the dollars that are in budget adjustment it appeared like the hospitals were shut out from the house version did that get changed in the senate or are they still kind of left in the dark for some of these dollars I hesitate a little bit to speak to things that are are moving but um my understanding of this senate proposal uh is that hospitals are included there okay so it'll be fought out in conference I I will leave the legislative um expertise to you chair okay so at this point we'll go to public comment and any members of the public who wish to comment please raise your hand I see a couple of hands raised and I'm going to start with Dale Hackett Dale I really wasn't fair to Ina that was putting her on the spot for sure but it was a good question um I love putting Ina on the spot Dale she's an incredible asset to the state of Vermont oh absolutely um no doubt about that um you do really good work you know you brought up an interesting point I just wanted to comment that you can try to grow a workforce but there is a great deal of synchronicity that goes with this um you need to have the ability to if a student wants to go into nursing um there's only a certain amount of time they're young they want to do it now if you tell them that they you won't have a position for them to go to school for another two three four years um that just doesn't work there's no reason it should so I would strongly support any school they can get into that that scholarship goes with them as long as they do come back to Vermont my other comment of many I could make is when they get done that service of whatever it is if they're if they're in school for four years and they have to serve for four years when you get done that for years well we have to think about is do we have the housing do we have the affordability do we have are they all in sync are they all there because as you pointed out the traveling nurse comes in they can't get housing well after they serve why would they want to stay in Vermont they never found housing it just doesn't add up so I just want to point that out that there is that much bigger issue and I don't know how we're going to do that because I don't know how the federal funds are going to go I got there are so many unknowns but it does seem clear what the challenge is that includes the effects of the pandemic on the mental health of everyone a student a student that's in grade school that's going to increase need for workforce within health care I don't see anything moving forward without mental health becoming a really major issue in terms of sufficient capacity for those needs or you're going to have people dysfunctional in a sense and yet skill anyways that's the end of my comment thank you deal some excellent points next I'm going to go to Eric Schulteis Eric hi I just so that was wonderful and I wanted to board member Holmes's comment really interested me and so the national health service corps loan repayment program actually uses likelihood of staying as a criterion for judging how they're going to award those so that perhaps gets at her question I also think I can only I'm speaking from personal experience these programs are exceedingly difficult to navigate for the person I mean the amount of time I've spent dealing with the public service loan forgiveness program is shocking I mean probably well in excess of 30 hours and you know I've read regulations for a living so from a student's perspective I think having assistance to navigate and the healthcare space seems particularly difficult because unlike in the legal space where there's only one program there are four or five federal programs and then the state on top of that and you know I don't know what medical schools do to educate students about it but my law school had zero education on or someone to help you with it I mean it was all on May after I'd already graduated so that's just something to think about that these programs are exceedingly difficult to navigate thank you Eric that's a great point next we'll turn to ham Davis ham thank you Kevin I just have two kind of how many questions I have two comments one gets to your basic concern about getting in nursing school and so forth I think that's the reality is it seems to me is that the huge demand for nurses overwhelming demand for nurses is true statewide it's a national problem and it was just a story in the New York Times a week ago that said that the rate limiting variable there is really not money for salaries for for nurse educators it's the flat-out number of nurse educators and not enough nurses to teach all the people that you would nurses you would need to really answer the the difficulty in the supply line the second is a comment about the overall I don't have any problem with trying to get more nurses trying to you know give them scholarship I'd give them I'd give I'd let anybody in some countries any anybody that wants to be a nurse can go for nothing and so but the reality is it seems to me if we look at practically then the situation in Vermont ice that is it seems to me is that that your chances of actually moving the needle in terms of the need for workforce is very small really small and can take a really long time and what I would suggest is that if you that what if what you're trying what you're actually trying to do is you're trying to find enough manpower or person power to operate a a 14 and a half hospital network for 600 000 people if the reality the reality is you've got you've got way more hospitals you need and you haven't had a whole string of consultants that come in here from Stroudwater from you know from at Mathematica from at least five or six of them and they've all come in there and they've said you're you're you're uh that you're your network a number of full service hospitals is way too high you can you can start to fix that today thank you thank you ham is there other public comment is there other public comment Walter you're on mute Walter the hand wouldn't click so it cut up late just thanks to Eric on his about the navigation of the of the problems of navigation with all the regulations I hear that from nurses a lot especially nurses who are training to be nurses um I do know that system like the NHS National Health Service in Britain which the right wing is now trying to destroy but in any case nurses go to college for pretty much free they practice for a certain number of years and they pretty much stay there and the same with physicians they don't graduate with hundreds and thousands of dollars in debt like our physicians do here I'm wondering if that could factor in to what Vermont is trying to do as Vermont is essentially locked in a comp in a state of competition with 49 other states about hams right this is a nationwide problem as well so I don't it's just a generic question thank you Walter is there other public comment is there other public comment if not we really want to thank you and we really want to thank you for all the hard work that you've been doing not only on the workforce but everything else related to healthcare as things are moving quickly in the legislature and so thank you and we're going to now turn to a discussion with diva in the proposed 2023 updates for standard qualified health plans and I would ask um Dana Houlihan if he could introduce uh the panelists Dana afternoon everybody thank you um I think to start us off I have Addie Strumlow with us and I'll turn it to Addie to to get us started and then I'll turn to the presentation in our our guests on the phone Addie if you're still there I am good afternoon everyone thank you for having us um Addie Strumlow deputy commissioner at the department of Vermont health access I'm just going to provide a few um general remarks and then turn it over to Dana and team to walk through the plan design presentation um I wanted to mention you'll be seeing a lot of diva this winter between the qhp design work and the EHB benchmark update as you know these are related issues but we're talking about different plan years so today we're here to talk about the standard qualified health plan designs for 2023 this year most of the changes are driven by federal activity last year when we were here on this topic the new federal administration had not been in long enough to really impact the process except to kind of slow down the the final payment notice and also to signal the new subsidy program um I wanted to spend just a quick moment on enrollment and the subsidies um we will have data for you next time as is our tradition um but did want to just reiterate that the American Rescue Plan Act subsidies have been implemented they are currently in place through 2022 and they have driven uh somewhat of an enrollment increase for us overall qualified health plan enrollment is still down relative to prior to the pandemic and that's because of the Medicaid continuous coverage requirement during the public health emergency um so that dynamic is still in place uh this year CMS has been very active related to exchange policy they extended open enrollment through January 15th created new opportunities for special enrollment periods that we'll be taking advantage of and they also made significant changes that impact plan design including updates to the AV calculator and other policy proposals related to the demand in us ranges so while we're happy to have the guidance there there have been years when we haven't had anything when we're um when we're coming to you all um but it has been a lot to react to um and really grateful for the work of the stakeholder group and our partners at weekly to wade through all of that so with that I will turn it over to Dana to walk through our process and then to our partners at weekly um on the on the proposed designs great thank you ready so if I can share my screen and get to the presentation can everyone see that I can't yeah can anybody see it now we can okay apologies for my lack of technical ability here so as uh as you know we're here to talk about the 2023 standard qualified health plan designs and I'm joined by Julie Pepper, Brittany Phillips and Brooke Steiner from our partner organization weekly consulting that advises us on all the the actuarial analysis and and modeling leading to this presentation today I'm just going to frame up a few things about our process and then I'll turn it to weekly consulting to go through the details of the federal guidance changes for 2023 and the proposed plan design changes for 2023 as well and then of course we'll return next week for questions and further public comment and as I'm hope for the we'll prepare for the board vote again just for grounding I want to emphasize that we're we are focusing on the uh seven standard plans for today there's one platinum one gold two silver one of which is a high deductible health plan design and three bronze one of which is a high deductible health plan and that's each of these per issuer so both blue cross and blue shield and mvp provide these same seven plans with the same benefits I'll mention that there are also seven non standard plans from each issuer that we will not be focusing on today I just want to point out this this one page document that was also forwarded to you and it's on the diva website this has all of the this is the 2022 page for these are the standard plans where my cursor these seven plans one for each issuer and over here are the non standard or issuer choice plans for blue crossing mvp with rate information at the bottom again a word about our stakeholder group position that I bring together every november to talk about the next year's standard plan designs we have representatives from all three of our issuers we have a representative from the healthcare advocates office and staff a staff person from dfr and green mountain care board so we meet from november through january each year we just in fact finished our stakeholder design work last week so it's a very active discussion with regular meetings and a lot of you know hard work and and thought goes into each of the decisions that we make some years are I would say easier than others and this year with the greater amount of federal guidance change I think it was a little bit more challenging this year than than some others so I won't read these but a little bit more on our stakeholder group values these five terms are very much front of mind for us as we go through our process and in fact in today's presentation you'll see that we have included a proposal for three primary care or behavioral health visits with zero cost share for the for a silver plan or a bronze plan which we think speaks to the principle of both value and usefulness for the plan that comes with tradeoffs as you'll see for other cost share changes that would be required to accommodate that but more detail in that to come in our process as we go through each of the the plans where we make our decision we're very much focused on sometimes a strategic minimal increase is better than not making any changes just to avoid a and kind of an abrupt change in the upcoming year you'll see that actually some of the 2022 plan designs are still compliant using the 2023 av av calculator but in most cases we thought it was preferable to institute minor increases to again avoid something abrupt in the future focusing on cost always both premium impact that's anticipated and also the real dollar impact of the cost share amounts that we're talking about and then we want to always be mindful of avoiding a plan design that could be confusing to customers or for anyone else trying to explain the benefits to a customer a reminder that we will continue silver loading in 2023 to maintain the cost sharing reduction benefits for qualified individuals so again that means that on exchange someone whose income eligible could get a reduction in their cost sharing customers interested in silver plans who are ineligible for income eligible for the CSR programs can get a lower cost silver plan directly through MVP or Blue Cross Blue Shield and just to place a reminder again where this milestone that we're beginning today fits within the the full certification cycle there's a few points here it's this month where we're getting our plan approval for the standard QHPs in March the issuers file their forms which is the contract documents and and benefit summaries to DFR in March the IRS guidance that affects plan designs is expected each spring so as possible we will need to return with some updates to what we have today based on that guidance but we have tried to anticipate what those increases or changes will be so but we will certainly keep the board posted rate proposals are submitted in May it goes through its analysis and you know public hearings and and comments leading to the decisions in early August plan certification is actually completed by the Diva Commissioner we target late August for that which launches all of the preparation work for open enrollment to get the the Diva system and for the issuers to prepare their systems for enrollment in the new year and like I just noted here the usual open enrollment period this end date is subject to change depending on circumstances so so with that I will turn it over to our partners at Wakeley and so then we'll start with a review of the 2023 federal guidance thanks Dana this is great sharing so then you can pull that up great let me go ahead and share my screen this is Brittany Phillips from Wakeley Consulting thanks Dana um I'm joined by Julie Pepper and Brook Steiner as well so I think I'll I'll be doing the bulk of the talking but you'll see their names on here as well um the the plan for today is to talk through the proposed regulation changes um for 2023 inclusive of the notice of benefit and payment parameters and federal AV calculator those are both in draft form so subject to change but we do have some changes to be aware of that have come out in the draft proposals there and then we're going to spend the bulk of the the time walking through the recommended plan design changes that were discussed with the stakeholder group and we've been working on for the last couple months through that so the first item to focus on I want to bring attention to a few changes that came in the draft notice of benefit and payment parameters so as I mentioned this is still in draft form these items could change in the final regulation but as of today the plan designs that we're presenting here are compliant with the draft regulations that were were released so the first item that I want to mention is that they have proposed a change to the AV de minimis ranges for 2023 um so for the the different meta levels there has been a minus four percent or plus two percent de minimis range um on the plan designs for the last several years what that means for a silver plan which is considered to be a 70 percent AV um a plan that actually falls within a 66 to 72 percent AV range is still considered a of silver plan and compliant with this de minimis range um so this tightens the range um to negative two or plus two percent um so for most plans again um a shrinking of the low end of that range that's acceptable um the one exception is actually for silver on exchange plans where they've recommended an even tighter de minimis range that actually goes from a zero percent floor to plus two percent um so again for that silver plan example that I was using this would be a 70 to 72 percent um de minimis range so we went from basically a a six percent overall kind of range to now a two percent range on those silver on exchange plans um similarly the cost sharing reduction plans that are associated with the silver um plan options currently those have a negative one to plus one percent de minimis range so a much tighter range around those plans um under the proposed change that would also have a floor of zero percent so now we're looking at just a one percent de minimis range on those plan designs um so some considerations around these smaller plan design or de minimis ranges um I just want to note that the current Vermont standard plan designs are all um towards the higher end of the de minimis ranges so they're not specifically impacted by this change directly um all of the plans continue to meet the the minus two and plus two percent even the silver plan is is above 70 percent and so continues to meet that that tighter de minimis range but it could limit um options for changes in the future because we do have a smaller range around those those options we are kind of limited in terms of the the plan design changes um potentially in future years um the other item is that the reason for the uh higher floor on the silver plans is likely to maximize premium subsidies available since those are um tied to the silver plan premiums um having a higher AV range on those silver plans um generally speaking should result in higher premiums a higher benchmark therefore used to determine the premium subsidies for members below certain income thresholds um so uh while it maximizes those premium subsidies for the subsidized individuals it could limit options for individuals that are not eligible for subsidies um since they may have fewer options at kind of a lower AV range available to them and potentially lower price points there a few more items that came out of the notice of benefit and payment parameters um federal standard plans were reintroduced for 2023 um these had been introduced uh several years ago I think around 2017 2018 um they were only around for a couple years and then then removed again um so those have been reintroduced uh one difference is that this year um carriers in federally facilitated market in states with the federally facilitated marketplaces um would actually be required to offer the standard plan designs whereas previously it was um noted as an option again this does not directly impact Vermont um being on a state-based exchange and already having standard plan designs in place um there's an exemption for uh for Vermont in the proposed regs but did want to mention it um in case it comes up or or you hear of those federal standard plan designs so we've provided a summary of the federal standard plans and the appendix of the presentation that Dana um provided um but a couple key points that I just wanted to mention in comparing those federal plans to Vermont's plan designs um generally they're at the very low end of the the AV range so um basically at that floor of the demand miss range in across all of the metal levels um so because of that they tend to have higher deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums relative to Vermont's plan designs and the plan designs that we've uh we're proposing here um also generally speaking the plans had combined medical and pharmacy deductibles whereas most of the Vermont plan designs have separate medical and pharmacy deductibles so for members that uh have uh prescription drugs that are um subject to the deductible tends to be a much higher deductible that they have to hit in the federal standard plans relative to the Vermont plan designs um they are similar to the Vermont standard plan designs in that they do have a mixture of copays and coinsurance so generally the copays apply to office visit services coinsurance to facility services inpatient and outpatient services um so in that that's instance they're um somewhat similar again generally the coinsurance levels are lower on the federal standard plans but the copays for those office visits tend to be higher so um there's quite a few differences in in the plan designs but also some similarities we're seeing uh the other item that we wait to to come out in the notice of benefit and payment parameters every year is the annual limitation on cost sharing so this is the maximum amount for a single individual that we can set the out-of-pocket out-of-pocket maximum at um so for 2023 this is actually no longer submitted through the notice of benefit and payment parameters but through a separate guidance letter um so it has been set at 9100 for 2023 which is a $400 increase relative to the 2022 limit of 8700 um so one item to mention there is that is a larger increase than we've seen in the last several years um and also because this is submitted through separate guidance it is final um and not subject to change with the final notice of benefit and payment parameters so that's one item that we actually know is set for 2023 at this point um as Dina mentioned uh we do not have the federal high deductible health plan minimum deductible and out-of-pocket limits yet those are generally released late april or early may each year um so those uh numbers we are waiting on still um the 2022 minimum single deductible is $1400 and the out-of-pocket maximum is $7050 um generally that minimum deductible increases about $50 every two to three years um the last increase was for the 2020 plan year um and the moop increases about $100 every year so the proposed plan designs um for the high deductible standard plans um we have assumed that that minimum single deductible will increase to $1450 um based on the historical pattern um and what we kind of know at this point we think there's a really good chance that that will increase and so we've reflected that in our standard plan designs um there are other changes that that I haven't listed um as we mentioned there's several changes that were released this year these are the ones that are most closely related to the plan designs um the other changes uh have to do with you know may have premium impacts and and other implications but not necessarily on the the plan designs themselves so just a quick refresher on the actuarial value calculator um societal releases a calculator each plan year um right now that calculator is in draft form so again um subject to change with the final calculator although that's fairly rare with the the federal AV calculator um but this model has to be used to determine the actuarial value of a plan for purposes of determining compliance with those AV de minimis ranges and the metal valve metal level of requirements um so the calculator includes several inputs for varying plan design features deductible out of pocket maximum copays for about copays or coinsurance I should say for about 20 different service categories so while it captures some of the most uh highly utilized services it does not capture every single possible service and every single possible benefit so because of that there are some plan design features that are not supported by the AV calculator and in that case if the features are considered substantial you can submit an actuarial certification to make adjustments to the AV calculator output for those features so Wakeley has been doing that for the Vermont standard plan designs for several years there are a few features that are not directly accommodated by the AV calculator the other item that I want to mention is uh when we're talking about actuarial value there's really kind of the the federal AV calculator outputs that are used to determine metal level compliance and then there's also a pricing AV that the carriers will use to actually determine the premiums for these plans so the federal calculator is based on summarized national data whereas the carriers will use their own experience the carriers will generally use their own model and will not use the the AV calculator to determine the pricing AV and as I mentioned not all service categories are reflected in the AV calculator so there are several reasons why the premiums that that the carriers will submit may not directly align with the AV calculator output that we're showing here as far as changes to the AV calculator for this year the 2022 or sorry that should say 2023 the 2023 calculator is in draft format as I mentioned it's pretty rare for changes to happen between draft and final but it is possible so the plan designs that we're showing are compliant with the draft version of that calculator the largest change to the calculator this year compared to last year is that they noted that they actually updated the underlying data so last year the calculator actually did not change from 2021 to 2022 due to uncertainty around the impact of COVID and ongoing uncertainty around the pandemic so this year they actually updated the underlying data from 2017 individual and small group data to use 2018 so more recent year of data and then they also trended the data from 2018 to 2023 to reflect 2023 costs again nationally representative though not specific to Vermont so the table on the right here shows the difference in the underlying data so we have allowed amounts per member per month in the 2023 calculator relative to 2022 these represent both the combination of plan payments as well as member cost sharing so it's meant to reflect kind of the total cost of service on average for the different metal levels so you can see the silver AV or allowed amounts increased substantially of 14 percent increase over last year's calculator and the bronze allowed amounts actually decreased and so the AVs that we're seeing when we run the 2022 standard plan designs through the new calculator are pretty consistent with these changes we're seeing much larger changes on the silver plan plans relative to prior years and the bronze plan designs actually saw a decrease in AV under the new calculator so as I mentioned just a quick caveat the pricing AVs and the federal AV calculator output that those federal AVs are kind of different data points in terms of looking at how premium may be impacted by cost sharing changes so we've provided an estimated premium impact in the following slides this impact is based on Wakeley's pricing model running the standard plan designs through through our proprietary model and and producing a pricing AV output this is meant to be reflective of the the difference between the federal AV results and pricing AV results and is really meant to show the trade-off between member cost sharing at the time of service and premiums but as I mentioned the carriers will be using their own models their own underlying data to determine the actual premiums and so those results that the carriers include in their rate filings the spring may differ from what we're showing here in addition the pricing and premium impacts that we're showing here are really only reflective of the benefit cost sharing differences it does not include several other items that go into premiums such as medical cost trend network changes you know any of anything really outside of the benefit changes that that go into setting that final premium rate okay so starting to get into the meat of the standard plan designs what we are showing here at the table is the 2022 federal AVC results and compared to the 2023 calculator results for the 2022 standard plan designs so the rows that are highlighted are the ones that are outside of the de minimis range just simply based on using the different calculator so the gold and silver deductible plan designs both require changes in order to meet those new de minimis requirements as well as the silver hdhp option as Zina mentioned even when changes are not required generally the stakeholders have looked at making minimal changes in order to help offset some of the premium impacts of the various cost sharing changes and really kind of allow members to be used to you know some small incremental changes year over year versus large sweeping changes in a in a given year so even though the platinum and bronze plan designs do not require changes we are presenting some recommended options that are different from the 2022 plan designs for that reason and as I mentioned we do make a few adjustments to the av calculator outputs that are not supported by the federal av calculator and so those are reflected in the avs that we're showing throughout this report as well so just as a reminder there are certain thresholds for changes to the standard plan designs that require approval by the board so copays less than or equal to $15 coinsurance changes less than or equal to five percentage points deductible changes less than or equal to 200 or out of pocket changes that are less than the increase in the federal out of pocket maximum so again that's $400 for 2023 so while we are showing all of the plan design changes that the stakeholder group has decided on not all of them explicitly require green mountain care board approval so in the following slides you'll see we've shaded any of the changes that we're recommending in kind of an orange color and any that also require green mountain care board approval are shaded in green so this slide is just a summary of the proposed plan design changes that the stakeholder group came to consensus on we will go through each of the plans specifically and through these changes in more detail but did just want to know a summary of the changes that are going to require green mountain care board approval so the silver deductible and hdhp options both require explicit approval as well as the bronze deductible plan without the pharmacy limit so while we're recommending changes to all of the plan designs are presenting changes to all of the plan designs many of them are below that threshold that requires explicit approval so starting to get into the the actual plan designs themselves for each of the plans will follow kind of a similar pattern so to get you accustomed to it a little bit on the platinum plan this first slide that we're showing here is the historical platinum plan options so you can see from 2014 to 2016 this plan design was actually offered with no changes and since then we've made some incremental changes year over year through last year so going from 2021 to 2022 the only change that we made to the plan designs was a 50 dollar increase to the medical deductible all other cost sharing features were maintained for 2022 and in looking at the 2023 option so we have the 2022 plan design that left most column and as as we mentioned this plan does not require changes in order to meet the de minimis AV ranges the 2022 plan design is at a 90.1% AV so kind of right in the middle of that de minimis range however due to leveraging of fixed claim costs so such as deductible out-of-pocket maximums co-pays those fixed costs do have a premium impact if no changes are made it's likely that it will result in an increase to premium so the recommended plan makes some updates to the medical deductible an out-of-pocket maximum you can see shaded there looking at a 25 dollar increase to the deductible and a 100 dollar increase to the out-of-pocket maximum this results in a slightly lower AV on the 2023 calculator relative to the 2022 plan design and an estimated premium impact of about 0.2% so some considerations for for these options were again trying to make minimal changes kind of year over year but but also incremental changes so that larger changes are not required in future years and also trying to weigh that trade-off between cost-sharing increases or cost-sharing changes when a member receives service and impacts to the premium the alternative plan design that we're showing here would actually be to maintain the same 2022 plan design as part of the stakeholder group we you know have looked at several different plan options and kind of narrowed it down to these two to share with you all but really trying to again look at those those trade-offs between cost-sharing and premium you can see maintaining that same 2022 plan design has an estimated premium impact of about half a percent based on Wakely's pricing model relative to the 0.2% if you make some of those incremental changes so really showing that trade-off in your slide deck we also have some kind of the follow-up notes I'm hoping to go through the considerations while we're looking at the plan designs but for your reference after the presentation if you need to go back and take a look at any of those considerations we do have them written down in the presentation so again looking at the historical gold deductible plan changes similar to platinum this plan design did not change from 2014 to 2016 but really starting in 2017 we've made incremental updates to the plan designs for the gold plan year over year and again kind of similar to the platinum plan last year the medical and pharmacy deductibles were both increased on this plan so a $100 increase in the medical deductible $50 increase to the pharmacy deductible as well as a $200 increase to the medical out-of-pocket maximum in looking at the gold deductible plan options the federal AV for the gold plan is at 82.3% based on the 2022 plan design so this plan does require changes in order to meet those de minimis ranges the high end of this range is 82% so we do have to make some changes to this plan design again consistent with the platinum plan the recommended plan increases the medical deductible it also increases the medical out-of-pocket maximum the increase on both of those is $200 relative to the 2022 plan design and again you can see this brings the federal AV down to 81.7% so about a 0.2% increase over last year's federal AV and a similar estimated premium impact based on weekly's pricing model for this plan design the alternative plan looks at further increasing the pharmacy deductible another $50 again this has a lower premium impact but is offset by that additional increase in the the pharmacy deductible that members may may face if you look at the the prior changes we have not necessarily changed the pharmacy deductible every single year and so because it was just increased in the 2022 plan year the stakeholders felt that keeping that at the same level as 2022 was a preference and the recommended plan design versus that alternative plan discussion looking at the silver deductible plan now this plan has had some larger changes year over year generally as we get lower in in the AV ranges the the incremental changes that have been required year over year simply based on the changes in the AV calculator have get more and more substantial so we have previously made some increases to copays and coinsurance on this plan in the most recent couple years the only changes have been to the deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums and really maintaining the consistency in those coinsurance and copay rates for for members over the last couple years and looking at the options for the silver deductible plan the 2022 plan design is at a 72.9 percent AV this is a 1.8 percentage point increase over last year's calculator so as I mentioned when we were looking at the changes to the federal calculator the silver plan was really had the largest impact in terms of changes to the calculator and the increase to that AV so in order to bring this plan down below the 72 percent AV mark it really required some very substantial changes to the plan designs in order to meet those federal requirements I will say that the stakeholder spent the most time on this plan design we looked at several several options so while we've kind of whittled it down to these two options before you there was a lot of discussion that led to these two options being kind of the the final two in the running so this plan design has a $600 increase to the medical deductible a $100 increase to the pharmacy deductible as well as an increase the out-of-pocket maximum up to that limit for 2023 of 9100 and an increase to the ER copay to $500 in both plan design options we looked at you know the potential of doing a co-insurance rate on the ER copay as well but ultimately decided that the stakeholder group decided that the increase to the ER copay was preferable to the co-insurance change generally I think members prefer copays and to know what their cost sharing is going to be but we did review that as it did have a pretty substantial impact on on AV but ultimately decided against it for purposes of these options the first option also has changes to copays so the first thing I'll note is that the PCP and mental health substance abuse office visit copays this plan design would offer three free visits prior to any cost sharing so that would be combined between PCP or mental health so you know two PCP visits one mental health all three PCP visits it's a combination and that's consistent with some of the non-standard plan design options that are available currently so again speaking to kind of that member experience and then ensuring there's not a lot of confusion with members we did align those with the non-standard plan options that are out there in order to offer that free cost sharing visits we did increase the copays once that's achieved to $40 on the PCP and off mental health visits and then in order to maintain a similar relationship between the PCP copays and specialists and urgent care and so on we have similar increases to the other levels in addition because that is a benefit to the member that increases the the AV we also needed to increase the generic pharmacy copay and preferred brand copays to accommodate those changes as well so there are several changes to the cost sharing under this plan design but we did want to present it because it does represent a benefit to the member for those that have office visits and so they you know could have some free coverage before paying any cost sharing for those office visits under this plan design given so many changes that are required this plan design does have a small estimated premium impact of about 0.3 percent the second option again has all of the same changes to the medical and pharmacy deductible and out-of-pocket maximums but does not have the free PCP office visits or the increases to the copays and the trade-off there is is really the estimated premium impact is pretty much offset by the changes to the increases in deductible and out-of-pocket maximums so taking a look at the silver high deductible plans again looking at the changes in prior years generally speaking the medical deductible and out-of-pocket maximums have been increased as we mentioned these plan designs have a some separate regulations a lower limitation annual limitation on cost sharing relative to the other plan designs as well as a minimum deductible that these plans must meet in order to be considered HDHPs so looking at the change from 2021 to 2022 we increased the deductible $100 in addition there is a embedded out-of-pocket maximum for single members within a family that has been tracking with the federal annual limitation on cost sharing and so that was increased to reflect that that federal regulation as well. So looking at the 2022 plan design this plan came in at a 72.3% AV under the new calculator again this plan design does require changes in order to meet those de minimis range requirements and again similar to the silver deductible plan had quite a significant increase in AV relative to last year due to the changes in the underlying data of the AV calculator so we're looking at a 1.6 percentage point increase in AV of the 2022 standard plan design simply based on the changes made to the calculator under the recommended plan option similar with prior years we have increased the deductible and out-of-pocket maximum the maximum for 2022 for HDHPs is $70.50 so this brings it to the limit for 2022 as I mentioned we don't know exactly what the limit will be for 2023 though generally that increases about $100 every year as a check for you all in addition on the HDHPs the pharmacy deductible and out-of-pocket maximum are tied to the minimum deductible for HDHPs released by the IRS so again we don't have that number finalized for 2023 but based on historical changes we do anticipate that it will increase to $14.50 for this year so the options that we're reflecting here do already incorporate that change as needed and again the embedded single out-of-pocket maximum has been increased to 9100 consistent with the federal limitation and consistent with the changes we've made to this plan design in prior years so the deductible increase is larger generally than what we've made in prior years for this plan and that's really a function of needing to make that larger increase to offset the changes in the federal calculator in order to make sure that this plan meets those de minimis range requirements so looking at the estimated premium impact of that recommended plan we're looking at about a 0.3% impact and looking at the alternative plan this one further increases the generic pharmacy and preferred brand co-pays relative to the 2022 plan design so as a slightly smaller estimated premium impact however for these plans all services must be subject to the deductible except for preventive services in order to meet those HDHP requirements so the increase in co-pays is really only goes into effect after the member has already reached their deductible so it has a fairly small impact on the the final AV and the estimated premium impact. All right moving on to the bronze plans we're in the the final metal level stretch. The bronze deductible plan again as I mentioned this this plan generally with the bronze plans we've needed to make larger incremental increases year over year to accommodate the changes in the federal calculator so relative to say gold and platinum you'll notice that these plan design changes have been larger in magnitude relative to the other metal levels because the AV calculator did not change last year we made only changes to the medical deductible pharmacy deductible and medical out-of-pocket maximum on this plan design and for this year this plan with the update to the underlying data the 2022 plan design actually had a reduction in AV based on the new calculator so this plan continues to be within the de minimis range and meet requirements however consistent with prior years we are looking at some small incremental changes and and some changes in order to help offset some of the premium impacts of maintaining the same plan design and balance the cost sharing and in premium discussion so in the recommended plan the only change would be to increase the medical out-of-pocket maximum from 8,700 to 9,100 that's consistent with the change in the federal limits for this year so going from the high end of the limit in 2022 to again that that high end of the limit in 2023 and this has a estimated premium impact of about 0.8%. The alternative plan would additionally increase the medical deductible $150 to $6,600 again this has a similar premium impact to the recommended plan option as you increase those deductibles there's fewer and fewer members that tend to hit the deductible and so it requires larger incremental changes to really move the needle on the premium impact there if you were to increase the deductible. This is the bronze deductible plan that is not subject to the pharmacy limit in Vermont regulation this plan was first introduced in 2018 so it's a little bit newer plan than the other standard plans that we've been looking at generally speaking the year-over-year changes have been to the medical deductible and out-of-pocket maximum and pretty consistently tracking with the federal limitations each year. The one exception is 2021 where we did increase the generic pharmacy copay as well so looking at the 2022 plan design this has an AV of 64.2% again similar to the other bronze plan this had actually a small reduction in AV based on the change in the calculator and it does continue to meet the AV requirements for these plans without changes however looking at the recommended and alternative plans similar to prior discussions you know looking at those small incremental changes this year so that larger changes are not necessarily required next year. So for this plan design the medical deductible and out-of-pocket maximum is suggested to increase to $9,000 however similar to what we were seeing on the silver deductible plan we have included the first three visits for PCP or mental health office visits at $0 and then would continue the the copay of $40 that that they've had in prior years. So with the increase to the deductible and out-of-pocket maximum again this does have a benefit to the member in the terms of the the three free office visits. Because of the three office visits this AV is a little bit higher than the 2022 plan design so those increase in deductible and out-of-pocket maximum doesn't fully offset that increase in AV due to that benefit to the member and has an estimated premium impact of 0.9%. The alternative plan that we are showing here has a further increase in medical deductible and out-of-pocket maximum to $9,100 has a much lower AV in terms of the federal calculator relative to the 2022 plan design or the other option that we're showing here but has a similar premium impact. So I want to pause here to show just kind of the impact of the difference in models and data that can influence the AV calculation of a plan. So you can see the the premium impact under the Wakeley model is significantly different than the difference in the federal AV and so as I mentioned the carriers will use their own model they'll come up with a their own estimate for what that impact is but again just kind of highlighting the trade-offs between premium and cost sharing. This is Dana I'd just like to jump in with one point on the previous plan that Brittany just reviewed the bronze deductible with the RX limit. We Wakeley found that if we had proposed the three PCP or mental health behavioral health visits on this plan it would have had such a large AV impact that it just didn't it didn't fit so that we decided against trying to squeeze it into this plan and and brought it into our proposal for the bronze deductible without the pharmacy limit. Yeah thanks Dana I meant to mention that and walked right past it. The difference with this bronze deductible plan with the pharmacy limit versus the other bronze plan is that currently the PCP and mental health office visits are subject to the deductible. So offering the three free visits is significantly more impactful on this plan than on the other bronze plan where those office visits are already pre-deductible but with a co-pay. I think when when we looked at it to put it into context adding those three free visits on this plan would have required I think approximately a $1,000 increase to the medical deductible in order to meet the AV requirements on this plan. So now on to the very last plan the bronze high deductible health plan. Very similar story here as far as the historical changes relative to the silver high deductible plan. Generally we've increased the medical deductible and out of pocket maximum each year and again increasing that embedded single out of pocket maximum to align with the federal limits year over year as well. For this plan the 2022 plan design is at a 62.9 percent AV. This is again a reduction from the AV that we had last year based on the changes to the calculator. However again we're you know recommending some some plan design changes in order to offset some of the premium impact and those those items limit future changes as well. So in the recommended plan design we have an increase to the deductible and out of pocket maximum of $100 on the deductible $50 on the out of pocket maximum as well as increasing the pharmacy deductible and out of pocket maximum again to align with the minimum deductible that we expect to hear from the IRS in the spring and then also increasing that single embedded out of pocket maximum up to the federal limit of $9100. The second alternative plan design is very similar to the first except that we left the out of pocket maximum at the same limit as 2022. Again fairly similar in terms of AV between these two plans the $50 limit didn't have a large impact but further trying to limit the estimated premium impact on a plan design that tends to have larger premium impacts. But again this plan is is limited in terms of the out of pocket maximum at a lower level than the federal limit at $9100. So that is $70.50 for 2022 generally increases $100 each year so we really don't have don't anticipate having a lot of room to increase the out of pocket maximum on this plan but have looked at increasing it a little bit for 2023. So again this slide is a rehash of the prior slide that kind of kicked off the standard plan design portion of the presentation. Just meant to be a summary of all of the changes that we've walked through which plans require Green Mountain Care Board approval explicitly but also a summary of the the plan design changes that that we're looking at for all plans. So as a reminder of a reminder we're seeking approval for the silver deductible plan design the bronze plan design without the pharmacy limit and the silver HTHP all other plan designs are below those thresholds. Though again we are providing that that summary here along with with the plans that do require approval. So that concludes the my part of the presentation. There's some additional information in the appendices of the presentation that Dina provided on the cost sharing reduction plan designs associated with the silver plan options that that we walked through. Those plan designs do not require approval and are tied to the standard silver plan. So kind of limited in terms of the decision points on those plans but we've provided them in the the appendices for you to review. In addition the appendices have those federal standard plan designs as well if you're interested in taking a look at those. Thank you Brittany. Dina is it okay for questions and comments? Yes. Okay I'll open it up to the board for questions or comments. Hi this is Robin. Thank you for your very thorough presentation Brittany. I would actually be interested in getting more background on the discussion related to the three visits with no cost sharing in terms of both Y3, Y the plans that you chose and not more consistently throughout the plan designs. Dina mentioned it in terms of the impact for the bronze deductible with Rx and of course the high deductible health plans have federal limitations but why not try to do something a little more consistent to make the messaging to the consumer a lot easier. I can start with that Brittany if I may. We definitely discussed the idea of introducing the behavioral health PCP visits at all metal levels and after a lot of discussion thought that the because the bronze excuse me the platinum and gold plans are richer with a lower you know significantly lower co-payment and deductible amounts to reach that that we thought the greater value would be in the silver and bronze plan so we excluded that from platinum and gold after considerable discussion and we to your other question we did start with discussion of two visits without without cost share after a lot of discussion for a couple of reasons landed on three it was first you know greater value to the you know to the enrollee we looked at the utilization of the free PCP behavioral health visits in non-standard plans and thought three might three was a better tipping point than two and also because of operational concerns where the non-standard plans are that offer that benefit are the the issuers have focused around three so there would be a greater operational lift if it had to be implemented with a number other than three so Brittany anything you would add there from the discussion yeah the only thing I would add is when we were looking at whether to offer two or three free PCP and mental health office visits the incremental AV impact of moving from two to three was was relatively small so in order you know being able to offer a higher benefit more benefit to the member for not a very significant cost in terms of AV impact and potential premium impact also I think influenced the decision of it is it possible to get the utilization information that you looked at in the non-standard plans I will take a look at that and yes so we can we're able to share great and then also I certainly understand like with that gold and platinum with platinum the the visits are I think $15 and $20 at gold but I'm curious to know if we wanted to have that same benefit at those levels if there are other AV other changes that would need to be made to to stay within the AV levels sorry I'm just I'm gonna scroll up so I can remember exactly where where those AVs are yeah and you can certainly get back to me you don't have to answer it today yeah yeah I think we would would need to yeah I think we would need to take a look at it generally speaking I think we have a little bit more room in terms of the high end of the AV range on platinum and gold so there there's potential that it could be added but we would have to take a look at it okay that'd be great thank you okay other questions or comments from the board I got a few um every year this feels like a brand new brand new corn maze you know that you've been out in the field planting corn and created a maze that is different from the one the year before it's so many moving parts so thank you for thank thank you for engaging in all this complexity um so I as I went through this year's presentation there were um you know a few areas and I think you mentioned them during your presentation here where stuff is not in final form yet you know I heard a quick list is the notice for benefit and payment parameters still in draft form the federal hthp minimum deductible mope limits are not yet released for 2023 the federal AVs uh calculator um is is based on summarized national data but in the end it's the carriers uh utilization and experience data that kind of drives the bus and I'm just wondering given these we're here we're being asked to approve um cost sharing increases that get baked in going forward to our rate review process when these plans come before us in rate review um you know how much volatility does the fact that we don't are there any of these pieces of information that we don't have that are final not final um more critical than others or is this just noise at the edge of the process yeah so one quick clarification the federal av calculator it is in draft form it's not finalized but that is the calculator that we have to use to determine compliance with the the metal level av de minimis ranges um so the carriers will use uh their own price their own models to determine the premium impact um but in order to determine compliance of the cost sharing and the plan designs themselves um we do have the draft version of that that calculator as far as the items that are not finalized and let me just follow up on that point so we're going to be making decisions based on this draft calculator but the final could be somewhat different but it's still this calculator that that counts in terms of the process so the yeah the final calculator uh I think it's very rare that there have been changes between the draft version of the calculator that these av amounts are based on um in the final version I can't necessarily name a time off the top of my head where that has specifically changed um so the I think there's not a lot of um worry that that may change although it's certainly possible and so that's what we want to to make aware um as far as the other items that are draft that could potentially change things um as a an example last year the draft notice of benefit and payment parameters suggested a federal limitation on cost sharing of 9100 up from 8550 and between the draft version and the final version the administration changed and they reduced that amount to 8700 um so we did have to come back to the board and present new plan designs that were compliant with that that change so there is the potential that some of these will impact the plan designs um but I think generally speaking the plan design changes that we've had to make in the past and Dana can correct me if I'm wrong but I think generally speaking the plan designs we've made after this point have been relatively small that's true I would also want to just underscore the point that um you know with our expert advice from Wakeley they they're very good at anticipating what the changes would be and some of the anticipated changes are already built into our proposed plan design so um that mitigates the need to return with corrected figures but um if there was as Brittany said if there were any changes required based on unexpected changes between now and the release of the final figures we will bring that back to the board well thank you for that um so I'm looking at some of these uh recommended changes as per cents as opposed to dollar amounts and uh so looking at the silver plan the increase in the medically deductible from 3400 to 4000 that's a 17.6 percent increase the increase in combined um out-of-pocket maximum from 8550 to 9100 is a 6.4 percent increase the um the amount associated with associated with the emergency room co-payment is 100% increase going from 250 to 500 dollars and so I kind of look at that um and uh there are some other increases you know that have just been um that are quite large that are just part of divas presentation and that aren't coming to us and then you get out to the estimated premium impact range and you know it's like two tenths of a percent um for the platinum three tenths of a percent for the silver um and then in the bronze you you get to eight tenths of percent nine tenths of a percent and 1.2 percent and I'm just wondering have you folks ever gone back and looked at um looked in the rear view mirror and said well this is what we told the board and now we've gone through a rate review etc etc and and and it's finalized um and we were right on the money or we were off because it you know for me it's just hard to look at these kind of percentage increases and knowing you know on top of thousands of dollars the base that are already there and kind of say yes to them I mean maybe I have to say yes but to say yes to them but then think about this entire process going forward and in rate review and these these these increases are already baked in when the carriers come to rate review and they're never discussed again and I'm just wondering you know just trying to get a sense of certitude that in saying yes to these that they're somehow statistically related to the estimated premium impact range that that relationship um is a tight one and one that we can you know rely on as assuming so much changes including the fact that the carriers in the end are the ones that that that are the the basis for the the premium increases that they present on board so I'm just wondering have you folks ever gone back and looked at your work against the reality as it actually unfolded and feel comfortable that what's being presented to us is is putting us on pretty solid ground? Yeah so unfortunately it's really difficult to tease out these benefit the specific benefit changes when it comes to the rate filings. As I mentioned what we're showing here is based on Wakeley's model the carriers will use their own model what we're really trying to provide is is another data point for your consideration but the carriers are ultimately going to use their own model's price and it could differ from what we're showing here. In addition because we're really just focused on those benefit design changes when we look at the actual premium filings there's a lot of other items that are baked into that so medical cost trends and you sort of changes in provider contracting induced utilization assumptions made by the carriers so there are a lot of other components that really feed into the the premium change and those rate filing pieces that make it really difficult for us to tease out this specific piece of it in order to do an apples to apples comparison to to what we're showing here. I would like to add to the on behalf of the whole stakeholder group you know there's a lot of discomfort around some of the magnitude of the cost share changes that are required to move that needle on the actuarial value so that if it was anything less than that we wouldn't have the impact that we would need to keep a particular plan compliant with with the AV in the new or upcoming benefit year so and then as Brittany said the the data point or the reference to anticipated premium impact is directional it's not you know it's it's helping provide an additional consideration for you know among other things we're doing you know making one choice with a benefit cost share change versus another and you know keeping that in mind what is likely to happen with premium understanding that it's still calculated by the by the issuers based on their utilization and data rather than this. I wonder if there's any I guess it's just our own discipline then that we have to keep in mind that when we get to rave review we've already approved these increases and some of them you know are de minimis in the big structure of stuff but when you are the the the I want to say patient but that's not what I'm looking for when you're the individual out there that's that the member in the plan and and that's your deductibles that are going up by 16 percent you feel it and I'm sure they feel that and I just got to keep that in mind that we're not starting with a blank slate when we're going to rave review we've already increased for those folks their co insurance their copayments. Another I have a couple more questions one is on it was on the three PCP visits and because the beginning you had a slide as to what was in our domain and I think the language is that the guardrail was $15 on copayments but this is a $35 decrease so it's outside that $15 range it goes from 35 down to nothing and so that's a $35 change and I'm wondering if if we should have a vote on that or or is maybe it's just the way it's written I don't understand it clearly but I thought that the or as I read it that the guardrail was $15 and change whether it's up or down and this one happens to be down and it's $35. I have not responded that there's if this is a just an alteration to the structure for those three visits but then when the copayment returns after those three visits are up there there's still a copayment that's very similar to the previous year we you know in the silver plan there would be I think it's a $5 increase in the cost share after three visits in the bronze that would stay the same so we're not eliminating cost share for all PCP mental health visits but for the first three hasn't added value I'll also add that those plans have other changes that require approval as well so those those plans need specific approval for for other changes yeah anyway and I think maybe my final question is the fact that this is will be the second year of these new federal subsidies expanded federal subsidies I think 22 was the first year how does how does that factor into your your your deliberations or your that the thinking of the working group about you know I mean because sometimes I worry that these these subsidies that really make healthcare affordable some people but that's also an area into which you know people who want to expand benefits etc might want to grow and so over time then the that affordability that's been achieved gets diminished and I'm just wondering if in your deliberations are people pretty aware that those subsidies are out there making making these plans more affordable and therefore they can afford to you do more well let's just clear most subsidies the expansion of those subsidies are not available for next year yet well I understand that I I guess I'm making the statehouse assumption in Congress that once you put something in place you can't take it away but you're absolutely right was it built back better and that bill is dead so the question is do they get together and put it someplace else and that's a whole another question for Dana as well because there's language in in our state legislature that would allow the date to be held out there as September 1st and in the past diva's always wanted information to input for the exchange product before that so just to piggyback on to your question and just to make it clear that nothing is set in stone at this point as far as emerged or unmerged market or anything yes and and our role too is to propose plans that are compliant with their actual real value so whether the subsidies continue or not were required to do that and by continuing with the quote unquote silver loading program that continues the cost sharing reduction program um for one which is you know we're entitled to do um so I think we just had to go forward with you know the AV review work that we've always done with this and and hope that the subsidies remain but it's it's the same requirement whether or not they continue so that I mean so I I think the combination of the answers is that yes those subsidies are in the background and assumed but the chair is absolutely right nothing and nothing is is baked in stone or baked in whatever it is baked in baked baked in certainty so all right thank you very much and thank you for your work on this is incredibly complex and don't don't don't ever give me a test on it because there's too many moving parts um but thank you Dana can you live with that proposed September 1st date unmerging or unmerging markets yes we think that's kind of the outer limit you know in terms of operational you know readiness after that but yeah we think the 911 date would be okay okay other questions or comments from the board this is Tom uh Tom Walsh following Tom Bell um thanks for thanks for all your work and um a lot of this is is new to me so I have a couple questions that um just helped me get my head around this a bit with the slides that you had could you bring those back up and go to slide 14 for me please here you go thank you so yeah I was I was trying to understand um this and it it's I think some of my questions are along the line of Tom Pease it seems that there are a lot of a lot of inputs into the model that right now um have uncertainty around them and that uncertainty around the components I don't have a good idea how much uncertainty is there is that a is that a 1% 2% or 5% swing either way with each of those variables can you help me understand that a little bit more yeah so the purpose of um the pricing model and what we're showing is the the estimated premium impact again we're really focusing solely on these benefit changes um so what we have is a model and and the av calculator works similarly but different methodology um but we've got it seems like the av calculator though pardon me the av calculator it's an estimate right now but you're fairly sure that it's going to be similar it's it's a draft version um so they submit the federal av calculator for public comment so there is potential that they could make changes to it but again pretty unlikely that that seems pretty solid then yeah but the the other model that you're talking about that seems to have a lot of components to it that seem each of those components can vary somewhat and I'm just trying to get a sense of how much variability yeah so the the other model that we're using it's it's wakely's pricing model but it's it's really meant to do uh benefit modeling so we take um our underlying proprietary data it's based on individual um and small group data nationally so kind of a similar population to the av calculator um and applies uh continuance tables and these cost sharing to determine the portion of benefits paid by the member versus the the carrier um and that's the av that that we're uh that we're showing it's the actual value um so the components that we're not accounting for in that I think are the ones that have more uncertainty um and that's really around you know what providers are contracting or what carriers are provided contracting with their providers um what their underlying data data looks like they'll use a different set of underlying data versus what we have so we're using the tools that are disposed I don't think that I wouldn't say that there's um necessarily uncertainty around it but I think there are different method all methodological approaches and different data that the carriers will use to do their actual determinations of the the av right and so I'm trying to get a sense of you've you've been clear on this slide and in other parts of the conversation about some uncertainty and then you've presented the tables to us and how sure can I be that those figures are going to stay pretty much where they are or they change a lot between now and great review yeah so I think this is uh similar to Tom's question before um we are fairly you know the the federal avs that use to determine the metal levels and the de minimis ranges are fairly set because we're required to use the federal av calculator um while in draft form unlikely to change so those federal avs are set um the weekly the the estimated premium impacts I would say are are not we we know that the carriers will will differ in terms of their impacts um from what we're showing here so what we're showing here is is really meant to again provide a data point of the trade-offs and potential conversation around you know a hundred dollar increase to the deductible versus this here's kind of direction directionality more than anything Dana had mentioned that earlier they're more directional estimates than a spot on estimate right I think that's can I just jump in on this point when you're finished with your thought Tom yeah um you can jump in anytime I interrupt it all the time at home this well sorry about that I would just want to make a note that um when we do rate review we do see impacts from benefit design changes my in my recollection the only uh benefit design changes that I would call significant in the past few years has been around a major change uh that was legislatively driven related to chiropractor and physical therapy visit copays so we do see the actual impacts from the carriers based on the state data so the differences wakely's data and the carriers data are not the same so the numbers will not be the same but personally I don't think we've seen that be a huge issue in rate review monetarily speaking thank you that's that's where I was trying to get to right and if we could um from past years right we're we're saying there's uncertainty now we we expect certain things and we can't really predict but as Tom was saying previously we could look back and see how the expectations matched with observed and what you're telling me is that there's not big changes not that I can recall other than the chiropractic and PT and I think we could do that but I think quite frankly that would be on us or our staff and actuarial support not on wakely because they don't have access they're not our actuary for rate review so they don't have that information so I think if we wanted to do that that would be something that we would ask our actuaries and rate review to do if we felt like it was worth the cost I appreciate add to the conversation is just to kind of emphasize you know even among the issuers they're going to have different estimates I just went back quickly to make sure it was still the case because I remember being the case a couple years ago where for the silver standard plan designs um one of the issuers has the deductible plan as being more expensive than the hdhp and the other one has the hdhp being more expensive than the deductible plan so they even in their pricing models have valued the impact of the the relative impact of those different plan designs so again it really is kind of what their experience is it could be their underlying populations um hopefully this is just kind of an incremental change to kind of how they've already set the premiums but based on their data they still may come up with different estimates so yeah to rodin's point we're we're definitely happy too if you do go through the process of collecting the information we can consider that in the future as we're putting together pricing estimates yeah it was just helpful to me to think about past performance and how what how well things line up right um and I think the other thing and this again follows very closely with with tom I think the percent change would be a good column to to have because in the lower the silver and and bronze plans um those are substantial percentage changes and to any of us managing our own budget a 15 percent change is meaningful to us and and I think that that would be helpful framing for when we're considering these changes so if possible I think that that'd be a nice addition that's all thank you thank you thank you tom is there other public comment other board comment or questions if not I'll open it up to public comment and I'll recognize Dale hack it first Dale so bear with me I'm going to describe a quick scenario the best I can um take it for what it's worth but I think it's a scenario that will play out I'm looking at this I'm looking at what I can afford to buy I've got two kids a little one one that's about six years old and I'm trying to find a plan I can afford to buy and I can I can just see myself getting by on that premium right there but uh I'm looking at the out of pocket max is no way I can afford that I can afford a couple doctor visits but boy if I have anything major come up it's just a debt that's all it is there's no way I can afford it um you only think I want to do I don't want to buy health insurance I think I can take the premium because I got a son that's got epilepsy I've got to be able to afford his medications I think I can do more by not buying the health insurance make sure that I can buy the medication and put food on the table a diet that serves epileptics and supposed to help prevent seizures and do these like my daycare I can more easily afford and that means I can work because I'm better off in terms of I know I've got daycare yeah this is a pretty good deal I can actually get more value by not buying health care except for the tragedy that might hit then if I actually buy it because once I buy it I've lost the money within the household and I still can't afford anything and a comment but Dale just to follow up on your comment you can't make a blatant statement like that because depending on what those incentives are at the end of the day um you might be much better off buying the product because you may get enough help so that it wouldn't be less expensive just to not insure so it's it's a tough one it depends on exactly what your income is that's why everybody really has to use the calculator and make their decisions but I don't personally I don't think I could ever recommend to somebody that it's their best option to not buy the insurance I think there is a window in there where it is true it doesn't I know what you're saying Kevin and I agree with you but when I'm on the other end as the dad or the mom I think that's going to be true there are some that are going to end up in that situation and it will be the reality it shouldn't be we we shouldn't allow it but it could be the truth well let's hope that there's some reason that occurs down in Washington and that the enhanced incentives are approved again for next year I agree um but that's why I said the way I did I just wanted to flag that as like boy this is really alarming to me um and that was my way of saying it okay thanks thanks Dale Walter carpenter thanks Kevin just a couple short more comments thanks to Tom for what he had said earlier about do these people ever consider the repercussions of their rate increases because I think that those who make these rate increases and do all these plans should actually have to live them and pay for them themselves to understand what it means for us to have to pay for them all the deductibles all the co-pays and the sheer vast complexity of trying to figure out these plans the next comment is that why in America do we have to make something simple so complex I mean I think a NASA moon launch is less complex than what we've heard today that is thank you Walter is there other public comment is there other public comment hearing none I wish to uh thank you Dana and Brittany and Addy and Julie and everyone um it's a complex subject and it's one that you do some more work on and uh we'll continue this conversation but thank you for the presentation today it was very helpful thank you thank you for your time and attention we'll be back next week thanks thanks it's like it's like Arnold Schwarzenegger I'll be back I'll be back is there any old business to come before the board is there any new business to come before the board is there a motion to adjourn there is second second it's it's been moved and seconded to adjourn all those in favor please signify by saying aye aye any opposed signify by saying nay thank you everyone and have a great rest of the day thank you

Hello and welcome to this presentation of the STM32-C0 System Configuration Controller. STM32-C0 microcontrollers feature a set of configuration registers located in the CIS-CFG module. The system configuration controller gives access to the following features. Enabling and disabling I2C fast mode plus high drive, configuring the infrared timer or our team module, remapping the PA11 and PA12 GPIOs to PA9 and PA10, selecting the memory accessible at address 0, status of pending interrupts from each external interrupt line, enabling and disabling safety features. The I2C controller present in the STM32-C0 supports three speeds. Standard mode, the maximum bit rate is 100 kilobits per second. Fast mode, the maximum bit rate is 400 kilobits per second. And fast mode plus, the maximum bit rate is 1 megabit per second. Fast mode plus requires a high drive capability which is enabled in the CIS-CFG module. Since high drive is controlled at pin level, it's also available for the other alternate functions. The high drive capability of the I2C1 pins can be configured per pin through the IC2CPC14 FMP, I2CPA9 and 10 FMP and I2CPB6 to 9 FMP bits. The infrared timer or IR team unit requires a modulation envelope signal that is provided either by USARTS or by TIM16. The IR mode field in CIS-CFG-CFGR1 register controls the related input multiplexer. The IR pulpit in the CIS-CFG-CFGR1 register selects whether the output signal is inverted. When the PA11 and the PA12-RMP bit in the CIS-CFG-CFGR1 register are set, the PA11 and PA12 alternate functions are remapped to pins PA9 and PA10. This is useful when these alternate functions are needed because PA11 and PA12 have no dedicated IO pads. One pin on the package can be bounded to multiple pads on the silicon, for instance PA0, PA1, PA2, PF2N RST, bonded to the pin 4 of SO8 package. When several GPIOs are internally connected to the same pin, the CIS-CFG-CFGR3 register allows assigning the one to keep setting specified by its corresponding GPIOX mode R register. The other GPIOs are forced into digital input mode, regardless their corresponding GPIOX mode R register settings. The default setting when the secure-muxing N-bit is set to flash-opt-R is described on the previous slide. It's safe because the configuration in which two GPIOs bonded together with push-pull output configuration with different output levels cannot happen. However, for some applications it may be beneficial to multiply the maximum output current on the pin by using several GPIOs bonded together to boost the total output current on such particular pin. If the secure-muxing N-bit is cleared in flash-opt-R, the user can enable output on more GPIOs bonded together in GPIOX mode R register. The user software must ensure that there's no conflict between the GPIOs. The mem mode field in the CIS-CFG-CFGR1 register selects which memory is accessible at address 0. Three memories can be aligned to address 0, main flash memory, system flash memory, or SRAM. Note that the default setting of these fields depends on boot pin, option bytes, and control bit. The CIS-CFG-CFGR2 register contains the control and status bits linked to safety. Lockup-lock control bit enables the connection of Cortex-M0 plus lockup state towards the timer's break-in puts. This allows timer outputs to be placed in a known state during an application crash. Once programmed, the connection is locked until the next system reset. The CIS-CFG module supports four interrupt line status registers. They enable software to easily find the cause of an XDI interrupt by having in the same register all pending interrupt sources associated with a particular interrupt line. In the STM32C0, there is one interrupt line status register per peripheral capable of asserting an external interrupt. The benefit of these interrupt line status registers is explained in the next slide. The left part of the figure represents the peripherals able to assert external interrupts. The CIS-CFG interrupt status registers appear in the middle of the figure. The connection of the external interrupts to the NVIC is indicated on the right part of the figure. In addition to this presentation, you can refer to I2C, IRTIM, GPIO, interrupts and timer's training modules. For more details, please refer to application note AN2606 STM32 microcontroller system memory boot mode. Thank you for attending this presentation.

6 Ancient Inventions That Shook The Modern World

The Ancient Civilization that went before us have left the foundations to our modern World and they still influence us through Time, in this video we cover 6 Inventions from the past that we still use and adapt today Narrated by BuzWeaver: https://www.youtube.com/user/BuzWeaver TKTC on Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/tktc/ TKTC on FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheKeplertelescopeChannel/ Tweeting Stuff: https://twitter.com/STARGAZERNATION Licensed under a creative commons: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ All the latest from 'The Lost History Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV-I21lCq9lkivgexh0TrsNj3pnbI2na6 Astrophotography?

When we think of the world from a few thousand years ago, we think about Christ and his struggle. We believe this was a Biblical period based on supernatural events from a holy being. We think like this because we are programmed to remember through false teachings. We are sort of brainwashed in that sense one way or another. It can only be presumed that there is some history that they don't want people to know about. In other words, we are being lied to about the real history of planet Earth. Like the burning of the library at Alexandria, keeping the public in the dark has come to be a feature of our current world rulers. It could almost be presumed that there is information that would cause a loss of control and power to manipulate realistic outcomes if known. But our history does not have to all be doom and gloom. Technology is part of our past, whether ancient or modern. Science constantly improves methods of research and invention from one generation to the next, no matter how suppressed our reality becomes. These are our 6 ancient inventions that still influence the modern world. Wait till you hear this. In at number 6, Mathematics. Now maths is a strange thing to think as an invention. It could actually be more a discovery that we are still uncovering the secrets to. But we will tell you about its origins out of sheer importance to the development of the human race. Mathematical thought lies in the concepts of number, magnitude, and form. The idea of the number concept evolving gradually over time is supported by the existence of languages which preserve the distinctions between one, two, and many, but not of numbers larger than two. The historic artifacts discovered in Africa dating to 20,000 years old or more suggest early attempts to quantify time. The Oshango bone found near the headwaters of the Nile River may be more than 20,000 years old and consist of a series of tally marks carved in three columns running the length of the bone. Common interpretations are that the Oshango bone shows either the earliest known demonstration of sequences of prime numbers or a 6 month lunar calendar. So understanding maths started from a very primitive understanding. As our knowledge grew, so did our understanding. We are still uncovering the secrets of maths today. And if five on our list, the incredible 2,000 year old earthquake detector, before the days of the Richter scale and the Carlos Monza Ferrada, we had no way of measuring or predicting earthquakes, right? You may be surprised to learn that a Chinese inventor developed a method of detecting earthquakes over 2,000 years ago. The ancient Chinese did not understand that earthquakes were caused by the shifting of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. Instead, the people explained them as disturbances with cosmic yin and yang along with the heavens displeasure with acts by the current ruling dynasty. The ancient Chinese believed seismic events were important signs from heaven, so it was important for the ancient leaders to be alerted to earthquakes occurring anywhere in their kingdom. Zhang's seismoscope was a giant bronze vessel resembling a samovar almost six feet in diameter. Eight dragons snaked face down along the outside of the barrel marking the primary compass direction, and each dragon's mouth was a small bronze ball. Beneath the dragons sat eight bronze toads, with their broad mouths gaping to receive the balls. The exact mechanism that caused a ball to drop in the event of an earthquake is still unknown. One theory is that a thin stick was set loosely down the center of the barrel. An earthquake would cause the stick to topple over in the direction of the seismic shock, triggering one of the dragons to open its mouth and release the bronze ball. The sound of the ball striking one of the eight toads would alert observers to the earthquake and would give a rough indication of the earthquake's direction of origin. Today, from an advanced modern science and technology point of view, the seismometer Zhang invented is still considered amazingly refined and remarkable and way ahead of its time. At four, democratic government. 2,500 years ago, the great Athenian general Pericles coined the phrase about the government of the nation being in the hands of the many and not the few. Athens was the first city-state to allow ordinary citizens access to government offices and courts. In theory, all Athenian citizens were eligible to speak and vote in the assembly which set the laws of the city-state. Amazingly, it was not until 1215 that a glimpse of democracy was seen as possible when King John was forced to sign and agree to uphold the Magna Carta document. And at three, the written way of communication. Communication begins with language, the distinctive ability which has made possible the evolution of human society. We can't imagine a world without speech or the understanding of words. But when did written communication begin to take hold? Writing is the physical manifestation of a spoken language. It is thought that human beings develop language around 35,000 BC as evidenced by K paintings from the period of the Crow Magnum Man, which appear to express concepts concerning daily life. These images suggest a language because, in some instances, they seem to tell a story rather than being simply pictures of animals and people. Written language, however, does not emerge until its invention in Sumer, southern Mesopotamia around 3500 BC. This early writing was called cuneiform and consisted of making specific marks in wet clay with a reed implement. The writing system of the Egyptians was already in use before the rise of the early dynastic period and is thought to have developed from Mesopotamia cuneiform and came to be known as hieroglyphics. These are complex methods to us now, but at one time these writings would have been familiar to millions. It set the foundation to writing systems by which we have evolved to today. 2. The Antikythera Mechanism In the year 1900, a group of sponge divers discovered by accident one of the most complex mechanisms from the ancient world, the Antikythera Mechanism. Some say the device is in fact the world's first computer. It dates back to around 100 years BC and scientists are only now beginning to reveal its secrets with advancements in X-ray and 3D imaging techniques. The prevailing theory is that the device was a clockwork-like mechanism designed to display the progress and position of the sun, moon and probably all five of the other planets known at the time, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn over a period of 19 years. In other words, it's an analog astronomical computer. The Antikythera Mechanism proves that the ancient Greeks used complex arrangements of precisely cut wheels to represent the latest in scientific understanding. It's also a window into how the Greeks saw their universe. And finally, number one on our list, gunpowder. You may find it ironic that it was a quest for immortality that led to the invention of the deadliest weapon before the arrival of the atomic bomb. Experimenting with life-l strengthening elixirs around AD 850, Chinese alchemists instead discovered gunpowder. Their explosive invention would become the basis for almost every weapon used in war from that point on, from fiery arrows to rifles, cannons and grenades. Gunpowder was quickly put to use by the reigning Song dynasty against the Mongols, whose constant invasion into the country plagued the Chinese throughout the period. The Mongols were the first to be subject to flying fire, an arrow fixed with a tube of gunpowder that ignited and would propel itself across enemy lines. More gunpowder-based weapons were invented by the Chinese and perfected against the Mongols in the next centuries, including the first cannons and grenades. The psychological effect alone of the mystifying new technology likely helped the Chinese win battles against the Mongols. Gunpowder somehow remained a monopoly of the Chinese until the 13th century when the science was passed along the ancient silk trade route to Europe and the Islamic world, where it became a deciding factor in many middle-age skirmishes. By 1350, rudimentary gunpowder cannons were a commonplace in the English and French militaries, which used the technology against each other during the Hundred Years War. The Ottoman Turks also employed gunpowder cannons with abandon during their successful siege of Constantinople in 1453. The powerful new weapon essentially rendered the traditional walled fortifications of Europe impregnable for centuries, weak and defenseless. The next important step for gunpowder came when it was inserted into the barrel of a handgun, which first appeared in the mid-15th century and was essentially a cannon shrunk down to portable size. Guns literally put weaponry into the hands of the individual, creating a new class of soldier infantry and giving birth to the modern army. Gunpowder is still the basis for many modern weapons, including guns, though it's no longer the most explosive force available to armies. However, on the 4th of July, at New Years, and Guy Fawkes Night, gunpowder will always be king and continues to be used at the heart of every nation's celebratory events in that sense. Gunpowder is the single invention that changed the world and still continues as an influence in the modern world. Those are our 6 ancient inventions that shook the modern world. We hope you enjoyed the show. What ancient invention can you guys think of that shook the modern world? Comments below. As always, thank you for watching and remember, the ways by which we arrive at knowledge are hardly less wonderful than the discovery of these things themselves.

I'll begin reading at verse 19, read at verse 22, give you an introduction, develop a few things reminding you of a few things we've seen, and then move on into our study. So I'll begin here at verse 19, Ephesians 2, now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building being fitted together grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. And so as we concluded last time our last study, we concluded with Paul stating that Jew and Gentile in verse 18, that Jew and Gentile have access to God through Jesus Christ. Now the word that was translated access is used three times in the New Testament, and it's a Greek word that speaks of a believer's entrance into the presence of God. It was used in that verse as well as in chapter 3, verse 12, in Romans chapter 5, verses 1 and 2. In Romans 5 I'll give you an example verses 1 and 2, it says, therefore since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. In Ephesians 3 verse 12 he had said, he says, in whom Jesus, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in him. So this word access speaks of our relationship with God and how that we have an entrance into his presence by faith. And so I want to develop that a little bit as I lay a foundation for our study. The first thing I want to point out and remind you of is that the New Testament message declares that Jesus is humanity's mediator. And this is something that Jesus himself said as well as other writers of the Bible. In John 14 verse 6 he had said, I'm the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me. In Acts 4 verse 12 we read salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. In 1st Timothy 2 verse 5 there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man, Christ, Jesus. And so that's what Paul is saying. Paul is saying that it's through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. He's also saying that this access to the Father is not just for Jew and not just for Gentile but it's for both Jew and Gentile. And it occurs by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit makes the Jew and the Gentile the one new man thus establishing unity. He had pointed that out again in verse 14 when he had said, he himself is our peace who has made both one and has broken down that partition, that dividing between us. So the Spirit makes the Jew and the Gentile into what is called the one new man and that means that we have in Christ unity. And then the third thing is by one Spirit both the Jew and the Gentile together have access to the Father. And I'll refer to the word access originally referred to a court official who introduced people to a king. The term carries with it the idea not of possessing access in our own right but of being granted the right to come to God with confidence knowing we will be welcomed by him. So we have access to God through Jesus Christ and that's the message that is proclaimed in the gospel. It's a message that God has given to man in order to make it possible for man to know God. And that's why we need to be careful and we need to be accurate when we share that message with other people. As I was preparing this study I came across a letter that I had received a while back from a person who listens to us, listened to us on the radio. This is an older letter but it's worth repeating. It makes me look so good but this is the letter. Dear Pastor Rosales, I wanted to write to let you know the great influencer radio program has done for me and my family. I live in Utah and was raised Mormon but I did not attend regularly. About a year ago I felt that God was telling me that I needed Jesus in my life. So like a good Mormon I started going to church more. But that didn't satisfy me and I started to realize that they were not teaching about Jesus very much. To make a long story short I started listening to your radio program almost a year ago on my way to work. Now I, my husband and my two children regularly attend Calvary Chapel in Salt Lake City and I'm getting baptized. I've invited my entire family and close friends, all of whom are Mormon, to the baptism and I would very much appreciate it if you would pray for them to come to the service and accept Jesus into their lives. Thank you so much for your ministry. I pray for you often and hope that you can touch more lives like you touched mine. God bless. That's the gospel. See that's what the gospel does. That's why teaching and preaching the word of God. That's why giving the gospel is so important. Again it's the only message that completely can transform a person's life. In 1 Corinthians 1 17 and 18 Paul said it like this. He said, Christ didn't send me to baptize but to preach the gospel. Not with wisdom of words. Lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing but to us who are being saved it's the power of God. And so we are to give out this gospel. A gospel that makes the Jew and the Gentile one in Jesus Christ. That breaks down that middle wall of partition that had kept them separate for so long. And it's that gospel that brings us into relationship with both God and others. And so Paul is making that very clear. Notice in verse 19 how he says, Now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. So Paul reminds the Ephesians that they're no longer strangers and no longer foreigners. When he uses the word stranger that word means a resident alien. It's somebody who settles in a country as a short term resident. It's also used of those who could be called guests in the country. The word foreigner speaks of someone who is dwelling near but not in the country. It's a picture of dwellers who were just outside the house of God. So both of these terms denote an inferior relationship. A short term resident living near a country is not the same as a citizen of that country. So Paul is saying this is no longer true concerning you Ephesians. You are members of the kingdom of God. You are fellow citizens of heaven with the saints. You one time were far off but now you have been brought near. You were once aliens from the Commonwealth of Israel. You were once strangers from God's promises. But now you are fellow citizens with the saints. You're members of the household of God. You are fellow citizens with saints including those of the past. Those who are present and those who are yet still future. So when he says that, that would include saints like Abraham and Moses, David, Daniel. Elijah would include the apostles. It would include people who are believers today and people who are still yet to believe. You see, when Gentiles began to attend church meetings, they would have felt a bit awkward. At that time the church was mainly Jewish. They could have felt uncomfortable. Religious and national culture sometimes creates barriers between believers. That was true in the early church. In Acts 6, 1 and 2 it says, in those days when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. The first division or problem the church had was a cultural one. The national Hebrews, the Hebrews who were born in Israel, were having difficulty with the Greek-speaking and Greek-cultured Jews. So there was a cultural problem that was taking place in the early church. The first problem that the church actually had to encounter. So it happened then and it still occurs to this day. There are people who can go to church and feel uncomfortable around people who are of a different color or nationality or ethnicity. And some churches actually cater to those differences in order to attract members. Years ago I was interviewed by a representative of a national Christian magazine. And as I was being interviewed by this person, it was a magazine that was distributed to pastors throughout the nation and throughout the world. And as I was being interviewed, I was asked a question that is, for those of you who may be familiar with this, there is a word that is used concerning the makeup of your church. It's called your demographic. And anybody who's gone to Bible college or whatever, you've heard the term. If not, perhaps you've read it and heard it somewhere else. But it's your demographic. It speaks about the ethnic, the cultural, racial makeup of the church. And it speaks concerning the city that you minister in and all. And it's a term that's used by church growth specialists and all. And so I wasn't surprised when the guy asked me about our demographic. Because that's what he did. He said, well, tell me about your demographic. And I said, well, I've got a lot of beaners. No, I said, I'm sorry, John. I didn't mean to offend you, my brother. I said our demographic. And I knew where he was going with that. So I said, what is the population makeup in the church? What is your demographic? I said, we have a variety. We have a variety. The church is open to everybody. And all he says, yeah. But he says, what is your demographic? I said, well, we have a high percentage of Hispanics. And I'll never forget his question after I had said that to him. He said, we have a large percentage of Hispanics with us. So the next question that he asked was this, do you have special music to attract Latinos? I said, yeah, yeah, I go up there with the tambourine. My wife plays maracas. We have a mariachi band. I said, no. No, why would I do that? I said, no. No. And I explained to him, I said, listen, the church is not a white church. The church is not a brown church. The church is not a black church. The church is not a yellow church. The church is not a red church. The church is just the church. That's what we are. We belong together because of Jesus Christ. But there's this mentality in all. And see, so sometimes somebody may feel uncomfortable because the people around me are not like me. They call that the theory of homogeneity in church circles. Once again, that you're going to go to a church that makes you feel like you're part of that group. You're homogeneous with them. And I understand some of that I do. I understand that one place may make me feel more relaxed than another. I get that. But if the church is built on the reality that we are together in this, we are family, we belong to one another because we all received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. And therefore, it doesn't matter what my background may be or what my ethnicity may be. The language that I'm most comfortable speaking or any of that, those things matter, of course they do. But they're not the premier thing that matters. The premier things that matter are the things that pertain to the unity of the spirit that comes through Jesus Christ. And so that's what Paul is dealing with here. He's speaking to Ephesians who have been brought in to the body of Christ where the church, the original believers were Jewish and the original ministry was in Jerusalem and Judea. And yet the gospel was intended to go throughout the world. And as it did, it attracted many people and made this great group of people into the one church. In Acts 2.17, in the last days, God says, I will pour out my spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. And that's why I dream so much lately. In Romans 3.22, it says this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. And there is no distinction. And so the Gentiles go to felt like visitors to the church instead of family. And this is what Paul's pointing out. The Jews and the Gentiles are now one in Jesus Christ. They're not simply God fearing people. They're full participants in the body of Christ. You see, Gentiles were religiously unclean. Kosher Jews had no fellowship with them. And that kind of attitude was still present in the early church. It had to be addressed. In Galatians 2.11 through 13, Paul writes, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he was clearly in the wrong. Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back, separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy so that by their hypocrisy, even Barnabas was led astray. And so that was something that had to be dealt with. It was in the church in its early beginning. So Paul is making it clear that they are fellow citizens of heaven. In Romans 10 verse 12, again, there's no distinction between Jew and Greek for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. And so we are presently now members of the household of God, we are his children. In John chapter one, verse 12, it reads, as many as received him to them, he gave the right to become children of God to those who believe in his name. In Romans 8.16, the spirit himself testifies with our spirit, we are God's children. So when we came to Christ, we were adopted by God, we're his children. Romans 8.15 says, the spirit you receive does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again. Rather, the spirit you receive brought about your adoption to sonship and by him, we cry Abba, we cry father. The word Abba is a word that is a tender word. When you go to Israel, you'll hear it. The little children will say that to their father. When their dad and this little child walks by, I've seen it many, many times, the little one will look up to dad and we'll say Abba, Abba. The word Abba means daddy. It's a tender word. And so when we are told by the Holy Spirit that we can refer to him as not only our father, but we can call him our daddy, that's a word of tenderness. That's a word that tells us there's a closeness. And we have been adopted to sonship. Under Roman law, adoption was a very important legal procedure. The person who was adopted had all the rights of a legitimate son in his new family and completely lost all rights in his old family. In the eyes of the law, he was a new person. He was so new that even all debts and obligations connected with his previous family were abolished as if they never existed. So we are God's children through faith in Christ, members of his household. All our debts have been canceled because of the blood of Jesus and we are members of his family. So he's saying again, verse 19, you are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints, members of the household of God. Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. And so we have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. We're built on that foundation. We're looking at Mark this upcoming Sunday and I'll probably touch this a little bit, this upcoming Sunday. But remember when Jesus was there in Caesarea Philippi, how that he had asked his men, whom do men say that I, the son of Man Am? And remember how they responded, some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, some say Jeremiah and others say one of the prophets. And remember how Jesus asked the question, but who do you say that I am? And then the answer came, you are the Christ, the son of the living God. And Jesus goes on to say, blessed are you Simon Barjona for flesh and blood is not revealed as to you, but my father who is in heaven. My father is the one who revealed this to you. And he goes on to say, I say unto you that you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Is he saying that he's building the church on a fallible weak human being? One who denied him shortly thereafter, no. He was speaking concerning the confession of reality and faith, you are the Christ, the son of the living God and the church is built on that foundation, that fundamental Jesus Christ is that rock. Jesus Christ is the fundamental foundation of the church. When he said you are Peter upon this rock, he wasn't referring to Peter, but the confession Peter had made of faith in Jesus Christ. But the church has been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. So when he speaks concerning this, Jesus being the chief cornerstone, but the foundational work being apostles and prophets, the foundation would be Jesus Christ and the message of the gospel that is given by the apostles. In 1 Corinthians chapter three, verses 10 and 11, it says this, according to the grace of God, which was given to me as a wise master builder, I've laid the foundation and another builds on it, but let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. No other foundation. In the here and in the main sanctuary, I've shared this with you before but some of you have not heard this. When we built that sanctuary back in 2002, and before we put any carpet down, I asked the church, invited the church to come and we gave them pens, sharpies and all, some brought their own and they marked up the bathrooms, but we gave them pens and we told them, and we told them, write your favorite scripture. So if we were to rip up the carpet, the whole stage area up there, the whole platform, filled with scripture everywhere, all the way to the doors, people came and stayed, we stayed for hours and people were writing their favorite scriptures everywhere and whenever I preach every time I stand and give a Bible study, I'm standing on this particular verse here, no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, Jesus Christ. That's my foundational scripture. Every time I give a Bible study, every time you come on a Sunday and you're here for a study, I'm standing literally on God's word, on the foundation of the word of God. And that's what it is. The foundation is Jesus Christ, Chief Cornerstone and the message of the gospel that he gave to his apostles. And so the apostles and prophets are the ones who laid the foundation that the church rests on. Now pastors as well as Bible teachers are to remain faithful to what they have received. They're to teach the word of God and not modify it. They're not to give their personal opinions, they're to give a right exegesis, a right understanding of what that scripture is saying so that the people are receiving it in a proper sense. And those who handle the word of God are to be faithful. In Deuteronomy 1232, whatever I command you, be careful to observe it. You shall not add to it nor take away from it. Jesus is that Chief Cornerstone. The word is the foundation. It must be taught correctly. Titus chapter one, verse nine, remember it says he must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it. In 2nd Thessalonians chapter two, verse 15, therefore brethren, stand fast, hold the traditions which you have been taught whether by word or epistle. And so the foundation of the proclamation of the gospel, Jesus appointed these apostles and prophets to go forth and to bring that. And he's speaking concerning the church that has been built on that foundation. Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being that Chief Cornerstone. Now, the Chief Cornerstone is the stone that aligns the building. It actually is the most important stone and everything else is built from that. So Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone, but he was also rejected by the people. And Psalm 118, verse 22, the stone which the builders refused has become the headstone of the corner. Isaiah 28, 16, this is what the Lord God says, behold, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation, the one who believes will never be shaken. Jesus actually applied this to himself. In Matthew 21, he said in verses 42 through 44, have you never read in the scripture the stone which the builders rejected has become the Chief Cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing, it's marvelous in our eyes. Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you, given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. And whoever falls on this stone will be broken, but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder. So the cornerstone is the Chief Stone of the building. It needed to be strong enough to support what was built on it and it aligned the rest of the building as well as uniting the building into one structure. And that's what Jesus is to the church. He supports, he aligns, and unites the body of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 1-10, Paul said it like this. He said, I appeal to you brothers and sisters in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. In Philippians 2 verse 2, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind, the unity. That's something that Jesus prayed for, that they may be one, so that the world may come to believe that Jesus Christ was sent from the Father. One of the evidences, and one of the prayers, which shows us how important it is, but one of the evidences that God has actually come upon man by the Spirit through his son Jesus Christ who died on a cross for us is the unity of the body of Christ. It's the church loving what another, moving forward in the same direction, united in one heart as we apply the scriptures to our daily lives. And that's something that's a tremendous testimony, and that's what we're supposed to be. Notice he says in verse 21, in whom the whole building being joined together grows into a holy temple. When he says it's been joined together, the church has been carefully fitted together. Each part has been carefully crafted to fit perfectly. And that building by the way is still incomplete. So new stones are being set in place as God is continuing to add to this temple of the Lord. It's in continuous growth, continuous modification, or continuous building. When you go to Spain, if you ever have a chance to, and some of you perhaps have, and you go to Barcelona, I've been to Barcelona a number of times, and when we've gone, they speak Spanish with a lisp there. So to get Marie upset, I'll say let's go to Barcelona. She does not like the rank. She really gets mad at me. That's why I do it. But when you go to Barcelona, Barcelona, there's a basilica there called La Sagrada Familia, the holy family. And it was started, I believe I wrote this down to make sure I, yeah, it was begun. It began to be under construction in 1882. And it is not yet finished. So you'll go there and you'll see there is by an architect named Gaudi. And you'll go and you'll see it. And it's really an odd looking, I have to be honest with you, it is not an attractive. Gaudi had an odd kind of way of thinking his brain might, anyway, it was just, it's just different. But when you look at it, it's fascinating in the way that it looks almost like it's something from a cartoon. It's just odd looking, but it's been into continuous construction and is still unfinished. And that's really, in a similar way, that's like the church today, the church under Jesus. It's in a state of continual additions. And so it has yet to be completed because every time a new person is added to the family of Christ, the temple continues to be expanded. And that's the point that he's making here that we are being built into the holy temple in the Lord. So we're actually in the state of growing. Every time somebody gets saved, that temple grows a little bit larger. And so the church is being carefully fitted together. The Gentiles were part of the construction. He says again in verse 21 that we are growing into a holy temple in the Lord. We are God sanctuary. We are the dwelling place of His Holy Spirit. There is a concern that I have that I'll share with you at this moment. And that is that there are many people that I have seen who go to church, who have the belief that because they attend a church service that they are the body of Christ. The fact is that's not true. One, there are those who are right now watching online. They can't be here with us, but because they're born again, they are automatically part of the body of Christ. But just because somebody may show up in a building and know when to stand, know how to sing the songs, know when to smile or to clap or whatever, they may know all of those things. That does not in any way, and we know this, but that does not in any way mean that they're born again. There is a very religious spirit that people can have. A religious spirit. They're good people. They do good things. They live a good life. They can be honest. They can be faithful to their family. They can be a hard worker. They can be involved in a church. They can have all of those things, and yet that doesn't mean they're born again. It's been said that a pagan in the 50s lived a whole year life than Christians in the 2022s. And in some ways there's an appearance there that you can't really argue with. I read a while back that atheists have a lower divorce rate than evangelical Christians. Atheists who don't believe in a God believe strongly in their vows. Whereas Christians, sometimes professing Christians, they don't even have the belief that they can work things through in their marriage. They divorce a lot easier, and then they say, God gives me the grace to do that. We've seen that many times. Well, God gives me the grace to do that. I'll never forget a guy who came into my office. He actually called. It was in the early days of our ministry. He called me and I took the call and I was preparing a study, but my secretary said, this fellow needs to talk to you and he's insistent. And I said, okay, and so I took the call. He said, Pastor, I need to ask you a question. I said, okay, but I can't ask it over the phone. Can I come and see you? I said, I'll be honest with you, can this wait? No, it can't. It's an emergency. I need to, he says, I'm gonna take lunch at such and such time. I promise I won't take too much time. I know you're busy, but this is important. And I said, you know what? I'll take a break, come and I'll talk to you. So he did, he came and he sits in front of me. And I'll never forget this conversations. As he sits in front of me, he asked me a question. He said, is divorce an unpardonable sin? That was his question. And I said, is divorce an unpardonable sin? And I'm thinking, why, why were you asking, why? Were you so insistent? That's a question that, but then again, everybody has a reason for asking questions. And it's, it's right that I should do my best to answer it. So I said, well, the only unpardonable sin that I know of in scriptures rejecting the grace of Jesus Christ or refusing him, it's called blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. And if you blaspheme the Holy Spirit, you cannot be saved neither in this age or the age to come because you've rejected salvation as offered by Christ. That's the only sin that I know of that Jesus said will not be forgiven in this age or the age to come. He said, so divorce is not a sin that will send me to hell. And I said, well, no, it's not. It's, so what, what happens later I find out. He took that as permission. He went out, he was having an affair, divorced his wife and then married the woman he was having an affair with thinking that I had biblical giving him permission to do such a thing. So people who come to church, just because they show up, I learned that a long time ago, doesn't mean that they're right with God. Doesn't mean that they're part of the body of Christ at all because they may be seated and they may listen and they may act like they believe, but in fact they're rejecting all along. And so it takes the Holy Spirit to bring us into a relationship with God and it's by His Holy Spirit that we come into relationship with Him. And I'm thinking that one of the things I'm greatly concerned about is that we the church, our fellowship in particular, but others can become people who do good things without the power of the Spirit of God. And I'm greatly concerned that we as believers that we walk in His Spirit, that His Holy Spirit baptizes us, that we understand that we are in dude with power from on high, that He has given to us spiritual gifts that we can exercise, that we have the ability to share His word because God has given to us His word. We have tasted of the Lord. We see that He is good and we can communicate that to others, but that we don't fall into the trap of trying to change the world or change our lives or change our home by our own fleshly efforts, but that we learn to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit who is the one who does the work through us. And I think that sometimes we can get caught up wanting to do good things without the power. We can even be moving thinking that we're moving in the Lord but in fact, we're not. I was driving home one time. I was coming home from a big barren and those of you, all of us probably know big barren the road that it is a sharp decline as you're coming. So as I was driving, I took the car and I put it in neutral and I just coasted because you can do that. So I'm coasting, I'm going a good distance, going a good speed, just 50, 55 miles, whatever, just coming on down. Then it starts to level off and I put it back into drive. I had run out of gas and I didn't know it. You know, so when I put it back in the gear, it's slowing down. So I put my foot on the gas pedal to accelerate and then I look and empty, I was running on empty and a lot of people in our spiritual lives do the same thing because we're coasting, we think we're empowered. When we need the power, we put our foot down and we've been in the flesh all along, didn't even know it. And so it's very important. And if I could give you a pastoral encouragement in the morning, when you wake up every morning and when you go to sleep too, but every morning you wake up and I'm not giving you a prayer to pray, but a thought, father, fill me today with your spirit. Father, I wanna walk in your spirit. Because, well, the devil never sleeps and he's been waiting for me to open my eyes because he's already got a plan for my life that isn't good. And without your help, I may succumb to his temptations. Without your help and without your power, I might be deceived today. If you don't understand that yet, you need to understand that's absolute truth when I'm telling you because you can't drive from your home to your job without seeing billboards or advertisements or hear something on the radio if you're not listening to a Christian station. And even if you are listening to a Christian station, you may hear something wacky that's coming out over the air in the name of Christ. You can be deceived very easily, we all can. So if we go to sleep at the wheel, we're in danger. And what we need is to understand who we are in Jesus Christ. We are seated with Christ in the heavenlies. We are the temple of the Spirit of God and God has already treated us as if we're already there even though he have yet to arrive. So we travel in hope, knowing our destination is sure, this last Sunday there was an amazing game on TV and I decided to watch it. But I'm one of these people who pauses because I really don't care that much. It's not like my life. So I'll pause it and I'll talk to Marie or talk to my kids or whatever and put it back on. And I do that because I just, I get bored. And so it's like six and a half, almost seven minutes and the game's almost over and we're losing. You can guess who I was rooting for and we're losing. And I tell him, my wife Marie doesn't care that much either but I'm saying, this doesn't look good but they came back against San Francisco. Maybe they, I hope so, whatever. So I'm just kind of, and I'm talking and then the phone rings and I pick it up. It's my son, Davey, Super Bowl champs. I said, what? Yes. Are you watching the game dad? Well, yeah, I've got it paused, but thanks a lot. True story. Thanks a lot. Oh dad, I'm so sorry. I said, don't worry about it. John did that when we beat San Francisco. It's all right son. So I watched the game with a different attitude because we were losing and I had no assurance that there was a possibility at all for them to come back. They hadn't been doing that well throughout most of the game. Those of you who perhaps watched it. Now I'm watching the game with a different perspective. We won. So six minutes and 52 seconds and then I'm thinking, oh, if I'd have had a chance to see this in real time, I'd be bummed right now because they're not connecting or they're not making yards. And so I'm starting to think something must happen. Something's going to happen because I know we're going to score. Something's going to happen. I'd start looking at the game that way. Something's about to happen. Bang, here comes Cup. A believer in Jesus by the way and he's making these amazing catches and then boom, we win the game. And then I thought, you know what, that's my life. Not that I'm a ram, but that's my life. It looks like we're going to lose sometimes. It looks like we have no hope sometimes. If you just look at the news, you're losing every moment of every day, right? You are. But we read the last verse of the last book of the Bible and we win in Christ. And that's the whole thing. So I was telling my daughter in La Corina. I said, wow, yeah, I watched the game in hope. A confident expectation, the knowledge that the results were already determined and that's your walk in Jesus Christ. You may feel like you're being beaten. You may go down, but you'll always get back up. You cannot be defeated because in him we are more than conquerors. Understand that. You are more than conquerors. You didn't lose. It may have looked when Jesus died on the cross, it looked like he lost. But three days later, he showed that he won. And so in us, we need to understand that. God is working together in our lives. He is in us. In 1 Corinthians 6, 19 and 20, do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who's in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. You were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your body, your spirit, which are gods. And so we belong to him. We have been bought by him. And again, we're being built together for a dwelling place of God in the spirit. The apostles and prophets laid the foundation that Jesus holds the temple together. The Jews were among the earliest stones. But Gentiles and Jews now make up a new community. It's called the Fellowship of the Redeemed. And this fellowship transcends race, gender, status, and every other barrier. And if that is the case, we need to live in such a way that people will know that we are his temple. We need to live in that way so that people will know we are the temple of the spirit of God. And that's what holy life does. It reveals that the holy God dwells in this body of clay and has made our life holy because he is holy. And so Paul is speaking and he's saying, you have been built up into a living temple and God's spirit dwells in you. So live for God. Father, we ask that you would work in.

Ok, see. What is this called? This device. That's all. No, this is a chemistry lab. It's called a spatulas. What is this sediment? KIKI. What is this? What's that? What's that? He just now explained to you and I. The person who said that it was going to be you. You don't know? I know them for a second there. Which soil is this? Common soil? Common soil. KIKI. It's potassium ILI. KIKI. Ok? Now, yes. What will happen if I put KIKI over here? Here, we have hydrogen peroxide in the soil already there. And hydrogen peroxide is slowly reacting. It is unstable. Slowly and slowly it is creating oxygen. But when you put KIKI inside, the hydrogen peroxide rapidly converts you to water in oxygen. And then oxygen gets trapped in the soap and the soap comes out as a matter. Understood? Yes. You're not interested in that. You're interested in here. Yes. Ok, let's do it. These cubes are oxygen, ok? Yes. Cubes are oxygen and it is exoskeletons. So it will get deteriorated. If I put KIKI inside, it will get charged. So if you come closer, you will feel that there is no presence of charge. Ok. It's come closer, but don't touch the hand like that. Just make sure it's away. Can you feel it? I'm feeling something. Stay away. Don't touch. Not at all. You're right. Come, come, don't touch. Feel, feel like that. Can you feel something? Can you feel something? Yes. So that's charging because you're away. Ok. You don't give up actually. And from clouds, a body with higher potential. The charge goes to another body with lower potential, which is a very sweet way. Transaction will happen here. Now you have to tell me which is the body and higher potential. And you tell the body and higher potential. Ok. So go. Guys, you see, the moment you're moving in this cloud, the charge is now getting controlled also. It's going to get charged. If you look down, if I touch it, I may get a shock. But the current, current will be so low that it will not hurt me. It will hurt me at all. Ok? But here, just this. Anyone can tell me what is the maximum voltage you get as a body and how? It's a number. The household. The household. The household. The household. The household. The household. The household. The household. The household. The household. The household. Here, you have to use one lap voltage. The voltage doesn't feel and hurt. Only the household current hurts. Are you kidding? Is that ok? Even if you have 20,000 or 20,000 points for that actor, when you switch on the light, the change of the light will be true. They also introduced mass of voltage to the energy. But I am not going to focus on the power. Because there is no direct flow. Seriously though, however you switch on the charge though, this is another neutral mode. There is nothing on this small light. The moment I go closer, notice the transfer of energy on this path. See, I am going closer and closer. Nothing happens. This is like two clouds coming closer and closer. Nothing happens. It's clear. There is no operating. But this is now. The moment I give this, all the charge will go back to where they came. Now again, the charge is still within the form of this door. So now my friends, listen to me. Trisha, come Trisha. Hold it. Hold it. Don't worry. Down, down. Don't touch that. Slowly move towards the door. Slowly. Yeah. Do you see this path? Do you see this path? Stop, shut up. See, good, good, good. So what you have to do is, there is a power of the artificial energy. So the moment the arena, you know, is just happening. So feel it, feel it. Interference is happening. I am going to do this. If you think that I am going to go closer like this, like this, like this, and some of these things, then there will be some distortion to be taken to my mind. Do you have a hard one? No. I am going to do this. So if you are interested, if you are interested in the arena, this is a distortion area. This is like a distortion. Okay, come. Again. Give me a chance. Are you all right, Mahan? Please try. What's your name? Dhruv. Dhruv is now, come this side. Come this side. Now slowly, slowly, yes. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. See, if you feel like this, I know what this is. See. See. Sir. Okay. Okay. I am going to take please, so often without the door open. Please step down. My foot. Please step down. See again. See again. Can you see this? See the water. See this? You have to fix your blackboard. I am not sure. I am not sure. Right. I am not sure. Right. Right. Right. Right. Come on. See the water is there. Can you see the out of the water? It's not my standard idea. It's just my one and only secret business. It's my plan. But you can see she's going to know how to discern the stability of what's coming out of her head in a few hours. Yes. Maybe. From this point, yes.

TEFL jobs in Brazil Being the fifth largest country both in terms of population and land mass, there are plenty of TEFL jobs in Brazil, particularly in the more populous cities, as well as in some smaller towns. A teacher equipped with TEFL qualifications usually can find work relatively quickly. It's a lot easier to get a job if you're already staying in the country. Very few schools here will bother offering you a job while you are abroad. The typical TEFL job salary pays well enough to lead a comfortable lifestyle by local standards, but don't expect to be able to save much money or go traveling a lot on your income in Brazil. Brazil TEFL job realities Most prospective English teachers in Brazil come to this country with only a visitor's visa and then look for a TEFL job once they get here. It's really very rare for an employer to offer sponsorship for a work visa or to help you through the difficult process to attain one. Most employers expect you to work under the table. This is, and of course, illegal and not without risk to both employer and employee, but nevertheless a common practice. We are, obviously, not endorsing this behavior in any way, but merely stating the common state of affairs for English teachers and TEFL jobs in Brazil. How to find TEFL jobs in Brazil English schools can be found in both large cities and small towns here. Working in a smaller town offers some distinct advantages over working in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro for instance. The larger cities are truly vast and travel time to lessons can be considerable. In addition, if you choose to forego the cosmopolitan experience for the rural, the locals will respect this immensely, admiring your decision to deeply immerse yourself in the experience of authentic Brazilian culture. Pay for English teachers in Brazil As stated earlier, pay is not great relative to many other Latin American and Asian countries. However, teachers often find it easy to pick up private students, sometimes as much as doubling their income. As you get to know people in your community, let it be known that you are available to teach English on a private basis. As you get some students, don't be shy to ask them to recommend you to their friends, family and co-workers. As is the case in practically all TEFL job markets worldwide, it's easier and better to look for work once you've arrived in the country. You get to have a more thorough look at your prospective employer and get a better feel for what working conditions will be like. You will also give your future employer more confidence in you that you will actually be showing up to make good on your commitment to your new position. From time to time, however, you will find teaching positions in Brazil being offered on various TEFL webpages and these employers will be more likely to make you an offer while you are outside the country. TEFL in Brazil Our Brazil Training Center in Natal offers anyone interested in becoming a qualified English teacher the best quality training courses where you can obtain an internationally recognized TEFL certification. After completion, our staff will guide you through resume writing and prepare you for TEFL interviews. With our extensive job support, we will find anyone a suitable position whether it is in Brazil, South America or around the world. The world will be your oyster with your accredited TEFL certification in hand. TEFL Brazil Even though almost teachers find teaching positions in big cities in Brazil, such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro or Brasilia, smaller cities and towns are also in need of qualified teachers. Rural areas oftentimes are more interesting to live in than the big modernized cities. Country people are a lot different than city people and this will give you an authentic Brazilian experience. However, the cities are more intercultural with foreign restaurants and other foreigners coming for travel or work. Either way, if you decide to come to Brazil to train to be an English teacher, you will not regret your decision. TEFL course Brazil Our training city is located in the city of São. Natal is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike who are looking for splendid beaches and relaxation. The local water parks are also famous for its exciting water slides. After your daily training and on weekends, you have the opportunity to explore the city. Natal is not too big and not too small, giving you the best opportunity to experience the real Brazilian lifestyle while taking advantage of the benefits of living in a city such as many restaurants and shopping malls. You are able to join our training courses in Natal each month throughout the year. This gives you the perfect flexibility to fit the course into your schedule. We also have TEFL training centers and Buenos Aires in Costa Rica.

Yes, I got it all right. Good to go. Let's rock and roll here. So the 6th of April 2023 hyper ledger supply chain and trade finance special interest group illuminating session today and what projects we want to work on for the rest of 2023 or at least for part of 2023. So thanks everybody for joining either. Live here in working through the problems associated with zoom that Tomas will dig into thank you Tomas as well as for those folks who are listening to a recording here. So what are we going to do here is let me first share my screen here and show an agenda. And everyone, it looks like there are several people posted to link to the LinkedIn that they couldn't get in. So I've just shared the revised link there as well. Okay, we may see a few more people join. Okay, that's good. Let's let me get to the agenda here and then share that screen. Let's do that. Okay, so first off in a trust policy, anything we share, please don't share anything confidential here and also everyone who has joined and even the people in recording. If you want to come back, you're all welcome and we value all of your inputs and thoughts and ideas here. So, upcoming events, April 23 GS one, which is obviously very important from the supply chain perspective visibility summit visibility is obviously continuing hot topic in supply chain there. So we have that announcements Eric. When was it last week two weeks ago you talked in Toronto at the hyper ledger Toronto and talked about supply chain. Anything you want to say about that. It was fun. I met people. Yeah. We had a bunch of folks in the room. It was an in person event which was great that actually see and meet people. A lot of technically inclined people as well who are interested in supply chain which was fun, because in these calls I think we're pretty much more on the on the supply chain side. And the gold community seems to be interested, which is exciting. And, and yeah, met met some folks and had a little glass of wine at the end of the evening and enjoyed it very much. Some Tuscan wine I suppose. No, unfortunately, not Sandra, but hold tight. We'll have that in a couple of weeks. You learn nothing so far. Come on. Oh man now we all got to represent our wine there. Okay, good. Thanks Eric there. We were going to have a tool and on who's a PhD candidate has put something out on the wiki has a survey as part of his research here adoption of blockchain and supply chain management. Probably do some of the difficulties he hasn't been able to join us today so we'll look to have him on in future to go back to the wiki pages you can see his post is probably about a month or so ago. A number of us have taken the survey, provided some feedback to, to him, it was probably, I don't know Eric, I know you took it I think it was, it was probably like 1015 minutes something like that to go through. Not even. Yeah, so I'd encourage everyone to do that and help a tool out as he's doing the work there to hopefully become a PhD doctor a tool then. Okay, so that moves us to discussion. And today there's no presentation this is really a discussion and glad everyone has joined here here. So, we've talked pre on previous sessions, and you've seen a little bit on the wiki going back and forth here. And what we're, what we're planning right now is to do an ebook project, very similar for this specific sake here, very similar to the one that was done on central bank digital currencies. And let's let me see if I can share if it'll pop up and share that screen yes. So they're what there's one there's actually two of them out there. The first one was done on central bank digital currencies and we just want to give everyone an example of what this thing looks like, because you hear the word ebook and you think lots of text 7080 pages, etc, etc. And it's more of a high level, get people one interested in hyper ledger to that there's value valuable case studies out there in in blockchain with supply chain and trade finance. And so you see here, the kind of the structure of these ebooks here. Introduction a little bit about hyper ledger foundation a little bit about, you know, this is where there's going to be some work here a little bit about, in our case to be supply chain trade finance, what are some of the value props, etc, etc. For blockchain and specifically the hyper ledger projects there. And then these community work with CDBC's and hyper ledger CDBC is in our case again supply chain and trade finance. What are some successful examples out there that we want to highlight. And, you know, we already have a few that have presented on these calls that we should be able to share like the DLT labs story with Walmart Canada. I think Andrea, the story with UAE trade connect. That was a great story and it was value associated with that, etc. So, this is the flow of the idea here. We're hoping just to kind of a timeline here. I said earlier through the rest of the year. Ideally, this is something and you'll be able to the link is in the agenda. So I'm going to go back to the agenda here. The link is in the agenda. So go click on that. And you can download the ebook. We're thinking that with an appropriate set of people working on this, that we would be able to complete it in good form by the end of June. Now, things always take longer than we think, but the goal here is not to have this drag out to December, not to have this be turned into something intergalactic that takes us to December, September, something like that. Hopefully, we know Andrea can enjoy his August vacation. When he's off of the whole month, Mr Europe there. Sorry, sorry, Andrea, it was too easy forget about that. It was too easy. It was too easy. I mean the rest of this country is going to be off. Yeah, there you go. So anyway, yeah, so the goal is, again, not to have a drag out for a long time or have a create a lot of extra work here. It's let's follow the template the pattern that's been established, and then drive that out. So let me stop there and see what questions what thoughts people have or Alicia, Andrea, or Tomas or Danielle I see you've raised your hand you're welcome to say something also about this. Yep. So I agree with the timeframe. And we want to keep it, you know, as not as intensive for all of you as possible. The other thing is take a look at the India at regional chapter the India regional ebook, which really highlighted the work of the India regional chapter. I want to make sure that this also highlights the work of the supply chain trade finance special interest group, and drives people to the SIG, and drives people to the work that the SIG is doing. And, you know, so where the CBDC ebook was not tied into a SIG or a chapter anything right it was about specific use cases. The India regional chapter was tied about, you know, also highlighting members in the region. Primarily, and importantly, the India regional chapter, and driving people to that community and I want to do the same thing for supply chain trade finance. Good thanks Danielle that those are good points that I didn't cover there. You know, we've all we're always looking for additional talent to join that the our group here, as well as all the people that have been part of it and the work that they've done highlighting that that's also a nice, nice benefit for this. Anybody else have any thoughts before we maybe transition into what do we need to do. Hey, Tom, it's Alicia I just to piggyback on what Daniela was saying, one easy way to really push people or point people in the direction of the SIG is, as we choose which companies to highlight, we already have a library of video presentations from past guests. And make sure to include those and then have that link and that'll bring more people onto the wiki. Good. Good. Yes, that those links and then the other thing I'll bring it up since you bring it up now. Daniela, since she's responsible overall for hyperloader foundation, she as well as Tom us have visibility even the projects that we don't have. And they've shared some of those with us and we would be able to set kind of take those and maybe segment out based on however we want, so that we're not just trying to come up with things out of the thin air. I mean, what we're really looking for is to represent projects that have had some success in real life, and because that's going to give us more bang for the And I guess the other thing here, I don't know pernubes on here, but we think about these projects that we want to represent at a business level. But if we could represent a one or two and here's the technical successes that happen with it, we could provide some value associated with this document also. So it doesn't all have to be here was the ROI, we were able to reduce costs by x or we will increase revenue by why out there. If we could say that some technical successes that would also be good. Maybe we use hyper leisure firefly or whatever here and here's why that was a benefit to help us get it out faster there. Let me stop there. Anything else anybody else want to share. Shake your head Tom right now who wants to work on an ebook volunteers. I'm in for sure. Here. I'm in obviously rolling it out there to the other folks on the call. I'm in do rather than a print it. Great. It's my very first time here folks so I'm going to wait for a couple more meetings before I help you out if that's all right. Of course. That's quite all right. I introduce yourself. I was just going to say that what you could do Marina is that you know yourself. I sure can. Nice to meet you. I stumbled by an accident on this group because I am starting a company in supply chain that deals with invoice optimization and payments. And I got a green light from the National Science Foundation in the United States to submit for a phase one grant, but it needs to be the application needs to be built on distributed ledger. And I don't know so much about distributed ledger. So I'm trying to learn as much as I possibly can, and you guys have some use cases that might be in line with what I'm trying to do so I ended up here. Welcome. Yeah, you're welcome Marina by the way wonderful name I like it very much. Yeah. Well, that's great well we certainly as you heard earlier Marina. We have a number of videos from past sessions that you can watch as well as there's probably other stories that are going to come out here as we do this ebook work here. So, we'll we'll appreciate any work that any help that you can provide and we as a group and we're very open. If you want to get us on the phone. Some other time outside of this we're happy to share what we know out there. Yeah, I would love to. And I tend to volunteer a lot of my time and never say no so I have, you know, I could be of help. Yes. Yes, sir. Okay, anybody else out there. No, I think you can count on the structure of the ebook. What are you looking to produce I mean I heard there's one from India that we can go reference as another one but is this like a chapter for each author topic specific case study specific what's what's the structure. Well, let's so the structure is this right here when I'm sharing introduction, hyper ledger foundation, and then we'll talk about open source and supply chain and trade finance, a little bit about hyper ledger projects that are applicable in this space. And then the community work, right what our group is doing, as well as yours what some success stories are that's the hyper ledger around the globe section there. So it would be useful to people who haven't seen it already if you click through, because I know for a lot of us thinking ebook admit like we had discussed before a lot a lot of writing whereas the format used for this one. It's a bunch of one page topics. Let me do a page with links to other resources. Let me do it. Let me do it this way. I'm going to open this here because I have the India one I was looking for the CBD C1 before I got on here and I don't don't have that one downloaded. Can you see the screen here of hyper ledger foundation and some nice green circle. No, we're still seeing your white screen. And if you just click through on the English on that it downloads in a few seconds. Yeah, well, we'll do it. We'll do it this way. I'll just do the one since Daniela brought it up and I have it on my screen here. And we, there we go. There you go. Okay, beautiful. So this one is probably closer to what we're thinking here. And you see the same number of topics here. And what they did is they talked through and this is this is what Alicia was getting at is the these aren't deep dense text type of ebooks here. It's really around getting a high given a high level Daniela there you are in all your glory there. More like a magazine. Yeah, it's more like a magazine. It's not quite a marketing piece, right, but it's probably closer to a marketing piece. If you guys are familiar with that, as opposed to a, you know, a NIST white paper that's 100 pages on a topic. So a lot of graphics, a lot of ideas let me go through here. And then what they chose to do is let me get down a little bit as I'm scrolling through. And here's the contributions from the hyper ledger India chapter. So we want to say contributions from the hyper ledger supply chain and trade finance group, you know, here's here's what we've been doing out there. Right. Daniela, you know, Daniela just wrote in the notes for the India book we didn't highlight case studies but rather members for supply chain we want to highlight case studies like the CBDC one. Good, good point. Thank you for going after the chat there and keeping keeping us updated on that. But I wanted to share though is. Let me scroll down. And who's the, who's the audience for the, for the paper. Yeah. So, okay, let me just do one thing here. And then somebody wants so you'd think it'd be easier here. Okay, here, here's a page here. This would look like. So, at least as we've conceived it, the page would be for managers executives in supply chain and trade finance. For them to understand the value that blockchain could bring in specifically hyper ledger projects could bring to make their projects go on. And we have not thought of this as a technical document for, you know, lead developers or something like that. Okay. So here's an example. Instead of we pro I mean use hyper ledger India member, we would have Walmart Canada for instance, right and DLT labs in this, and we would have a very short blurb on what this is. Here's something that somebody says about, here's the value we got from it. And then we would have links to, for instance, the session that we did with DLT labs where they talked about the Walmart Canada story, for instance, here. So again, which it's writing a paragraph Michael and a little bit of getting a quote, and then some linkages to relevant locations. Following that, does that help Michael. Yes, the overview is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to be able to take a look at it. Sure thing. Absolutely. And, you know, maybe, maybe. Well, maybe what we'll do is let's put what we can put in the wiki the link to both of these. Yeah. Hey Tom. I worked with Tom Ash to put a template together for you. Can he just walk you through it because I think it'll be helpful for everybody to just visualize the mix of the two and save you some time in doing that. Tom, we have that ready to go then let's let's just have it ready to go Tom. Oh, no, I can see everyone's here. Hi Sophia. There we go. Can you see my screen. Yep. Yes. Let me maybe just it's a little bit big. Yeah, just do it share share screen. If you just do a good presentation to much you should be able to you mean like this. Yeah. There we go. Okay, so this is, you know, it's the template prepared already it's, you know, really just a high level so you can see how it should look like. So, right now, as Tom you already pointed out so we have the internet introduction hyperledger foundation blockchains for supply chains, supply chains, especially interest groups and so on so I don't just read from it and then we come down to the supply chain process. So, right, and that's, then, you know, we already talked with sort of use cases should be there should be in production or very late POC and with some ideally with some our eyes that we have and then pointers to the videos that were presented to the six and so on. So let's go quickly through it so right introduction we do have sort of like template one because it's a hyperledger introduction. What is hyperledger, I think it's quite self explanatory and then we are going to the blockchain for supply chain and then this one is much more specific to what this particular ebook would be about right so we have the topics of why blockchain can be used for supply chains. Here is about the special special interest groups in particular right and this is a good way you know to make people enthusiastic about joining and, you know, we'll use some of the newer presentations we can have the links to the supply chain and trade finance YouTube channel so people can always see what's going on here and obviously the link to the wiki as well. This is just what what remained here it's, it's really a template just for to have an idea. India chapter s should be replaced then I'm not sure if you have any mentorships this year but this could be something that we could include as well this page. Hyperledger projects again should be like a general, you know, template about the project, and then on the next page we do have the hyperledger project if you'd like to have specifically the ones that are related to some of the supply chain use cases that will be presented on. Then we have the community work with hyperledger so here you know we do have case studies and we do in fact have already couple of case studies related to supply chain and trade finance written. So you would need to link them there as well and basically just talk about what the community is doing within the supply chain. And here that now we go for the supply chain use cases over there so this is where we start to put some meat on the bones. And here it's already a description right so it's just a four or five sentence explanation of the use case and the content should already be that's what we talked about earlier Tom that should be already public information. And we wouldn't at this stage do any new content. And, you know, let me just add on to what Tomas is saying so I originally heard this I was thinking okay we're going to have to do interviews, build a lot of stuff. The idea here is Tomas said is utilize existing content of this existing existing success stories as opposed to going out there and building all this anew at least in least for this this this iteration of this you know eventually maybe we'll get there and we'll want to do deep dives etc etc, but that's not the purpose of this right now. But Tom Daniela did add that if there are use cases that are not in the broader media, we could highlight those as well. Yeah, talk about already right. Yeah, the key. Oh, sorry. I'm sorry, Michael, I didn't go ahead Michael. Oh no this is actually Jeff. Oh, Jeff sorry. Sorry. Why don't you go ahead, Daniel. No, I was going to say it's just we it's not deep research we want to pointers to the original source of content that could be original source of content that hyperledger published could be original source of content that you know GBBC published it could be original source of content that the media published or some other standards body or exactly. What I don't want is I don't want to create original source content for this specific thing. It should be original in the sense that we're presenting you know x amount of case studies and we're presenting the work that's a supply chain sig is doing and links to the videos you all have recorded in global form videos and other types of resources. If someone wants to really understand what's happening supply chain, this would be something that would pull up and spend hours going down the rabbit holes hopefully. So, you guys did a big favor for me or Andre did about a year and nine months ago now I was invited to present what we called the Tu ID the transport unit identification number and we did this in one of the supply chain sigs early on, and that same concept of the Tu ID has now been accepted by a technical committee of the international standards organization to be turned into a a standard for creating transport unit identifiers and there's some white papers that were submitted with you guys early and that is kind of the first distribution point of it is that the sort of stuff you'd want to be able to showcase here or that and kind of where it's where it's going from here or are you talking more. I mean in the hybrid of the use case and the people just would that fit for you. My gut feel is that it's still early Michael. Now if somebody's taken at standard and applied it in a way and they got business value out of it. Then, then we'd want to talk about that. Yeah, I mean what what was that what ECMA has asked for which is the standards body that runs the TC technical committee for this standard is to be able to run case studies where where there is an implementation from the industry where they say let's have this run in parallel to what we're doing at the moment where it doesn't disrupt our workforce but we understand what implementation looks like and we write a case study about it. I mean that was six months ago as their request so that the standard can be refined based off of input from the user community. I mean that's how standards work, you know that they don't they don't run projects inside of them that they they try to align with other organizations that are seeking similar outcomes. Right. Yeah, in back to a comment made earlier about the ROI or some sort of tangible evidence of success there. Let's let's let's put it in the parking lot because I mean, absolutely the idea makes sense, whether it's right for this, probably not but let's see as this evolves maybe it does come back to it is my gut feel. What is the use cases you're looking at the screen because I'm doing something parallel to this actually right now with another group that did this for sure with more in the climate accounting and action. He's actually got a he actually has a thing out there on that on that website that has 6 million visitors about the solution about carbon accounting. Hyperledger so sure it more has a whole thing out there now that they'll be put out there. I'm doing something similar to supply chain out there right now, we're on use cases and, but you have a thing up there so this should be contents already written and public no need for new content through interviews what does that mean. If there's something we can like the way I'll describe it in a lot Thomas Thomas and Daniel. Actually, I'll let you guys I'll let you guys go for it. Yeah. Okay, no Jeff just to, to, to make it clear it was because when we had this initial discussions discussions Tom and I were also, you know, talking if we need to create original content and then yellow also just mentioned that this is basically the point of this ebook it's more to provide the however overview of the use cases that are out there and provide the pointers for the people to go and see you know and explore further if they're interested right and for example, if you see on the bottom here we have a case study we have a member of webinar, you know, and these are basically the pointers it's not the right one because it's just an example, but you know, here is Edmund, he's a CTO at the global shipping business network, and we do have both case study and the member webinar with them. So, people, you know, could always go to one of these links and explore this solution further in the world. I just wonder how maybe what I'm doing for another site may help I'm getting a requested use cases for people have done successful use cases around supply chain and trade finance I'm getting flooded with responses from this thing and sorting them out and I maybe I'll shoot this by a time or something. Yeah, when I get these in because it would be great. Yeah, the only problem I did is I put it out there and I didn't specify hyper ledger so I'm getting these things pouring and I have to sort through it. So I may redo it and resend it, but it may be available for all these use cases is just it goes out there off of this request site and there's millions of people look at this thing I'm getting flooded with responses so. Okay, I'm trying to sort it from right now. Yeah, and Jeff, I think it's the, I can't remember the, the place that you're talking about the 6 million members there. But I remember looking at it and if they have the original content there that we can link to, and they will, they will when we put it out there. Yeah, so so that that could be that would be something and hyper ledger is actually a membership, a member community of that big website. Good, good. So we're good. Do you want to mention it right now. I can't remember the name of it. It's called blockchain industry group.org and hyper ledger is part of it. And it just it's a big organization where people put a lot of information on blockchain solutions blockchain technologies others. And it's part of this, part of this Microsoft. So I work with the CEO on this thing and that's how we get sure what's climate accounting stuff all out there. Okay, good. And since you, since you brought that up and you talk about how you're serving in the field here. Maybe now is a good time to switch to what what needs to be done what roles need to be filled here and accomplishing this goal. And before, and I'll say for that, well, three that I can think of one is research figuring out who we want to represent right who are the who are the better players that we say, yeah, this is a great story that we want to share with others. Right some are obvious but there's some hidden gems out there that we'd like to find and try to share out there. There's going to be need to be some writing that will be done, even though it's not a lot of writing right we're not writing the great American novel. It's still, though we'll need to be some writing to follow this template here. So we'll need to be some editing at the end here with this. So I see research writing and editing, and then Thomas, Daniela, correct me if I'm wrong. You have via hyper ledger some folks who can make this all look nice and pretty and polished and all that kind of stuff that's not something that we need. Yeah, we'll make it look nice. Thank you. That's very helpful. Make making nice and user interfaces of night is not my forte. Okay, good. So the folks earlier on, I mean, I guess one one thing that could be helpful here. And so we have the next our next session two weeks from now. And my thought is here that we take the next two weeks and maybe it's a research here for and have each person come back, or anybody who can come back with two or three options that they think would be appropriate to share here. No editing necessary, no editing necessary just, Hey, here's two or three case studies that we think would be successful in or not successful are successful, and that others would love to hear about whether that's the obvious ones, or the hidden gems I talked about. So let me throw that out there, and see if that makes sense. And is doable in two weeks. I don't want to time box on it but you know again we don't want this to stretch out forever and we come up with a grand total of zero. We know wrong tree. We're not going to come up with zero. I know we're not. And before the meeting in two weeks people can also send things over the list server if you want to share ahead of time. I can also create a page on the wiki specifically for people to list ideas. Thank you for new Sophia what do you, Jeff what do you guys think about the options that Alicia put out there, or Andrea you've been quiet too. I see something actually. No it sounds good. It's good. Yeah, I think so as well. I mean, I was kind of trying to think how I could contribute. I'm not sure. Think of all those. Think of all those trade lands competitors there Sophia. Most are using blockchain so yeah. But I'll happily be a reader and critic. Okay. Alicia, I'm kind of partial to, you know, putting something on the wiki that people when they have an idea they can just put it there. That way we don't duplicate the effort. We kind of see what was coming out there. Okay, so I'll add a page within our wiki. People will see it over on the left 2023 book. Okay, and could you put something out on on to the email list so that people know where to find it. Of course. Thank you. You're welcome. I suspect this time we will not have the same problems with. Oh man. Okay. But what's this post production? We will need help promoting on social. Yeah, thank you. Yes, we got some some promotion. And I guess LinkedIn, the discord, our twitters. Yes, main channels. Yeah. Yeah. And also, you know, when we get inquiries from people from the outside, right, it could sometimes a student sometimes somebody thinking of experimenting. It's also the thing that we share. Right. And that's what we're doing with the CBDC book now as well right to sort of also help raise the visibility of the sick. Yeah, that sounds good. And I guess when you, when you, this is I'm just thinking out loud here, when you put a case here or an example out there, if you could provide a link to that external thing, it could be a YouTube video, right, where most of our presentations are, or it could be like, you know, was was talked about earlier if it's some external site here just having a link then others can take a gander at it. And we can say, we can kind of say, okay, here's here's it. Yeah, this is a top 10. And I don't think we're really necessarily, we're not looking to do 40 or 20. But we're not looking to do, you know, we're not looking to do two. This is, you know, 10 seems to be the right number here, just to kind of give you a flavor for things. And if we end up 11, I don't think anyone's going to sweat. Tomas, Danielle, are we going to sweat it out if we have 11 or 12. I don't think so. Right. No. Good. Good. Okay. So, so, so time again on this. So I've learned a bunch of LinkedIn groups that have specialty areas and there's tens of thousands of people that belong to these things so I could put out a link to one of our YouTube videos you're saying or our LinkedIn page, things that I could put those links in there. You can do that now and then to Danielle about promo. I mean, once we have this, this piece done, right, we'll have something even more tangible and more concentrated. Okay. I can put that out there. The only problem with is that LinkedIn those LinkedIn groups I belong to off of that site are so busy. There's a thousand people posting stuff and so you put something up there and then an hour later you got to scroll down about 40 days. They're too active. The vein of social media. Yeah. The LinkedIn group groups were too successful that these. I think yeah, I think we're right for right now, focus on finding or developing in your mind what your top three or four case studies are out there. I'm going to be like I mentioned through that site and I'll specify hyper ledger some have come in hyper ledger so I may have a bunch of them in two weeks. Good. Let me see the quality of first. Yeah, and to be even more specific here. It's any using any of the hyper ledger project it doesn't have to be fabric I mean fabric is what you hear about a lot, but it can be any of the hyper ledger project so they're using like cool they're using basu. I mean it we can use any of them. And it probably be helpful to have that kind of diversity, right so they're not all fabric ones out there. I've just created the page for the wiki and posted it to the chat. Me and you're good. I try. Okay. Beautiful. Let's see here. Any, any other questions or thoughts saying that that's probably. I feel like we have a we have a plan here. Thank you for thinking about it. Marina. Thank you for joining today's festivities here. And we look forward to talking with you. And again, we can get offline and share more about DLT and what's going on. And you'll see some of these success stories as they come through here. And hopefully that can help you with your invoice financing type of thought. So yeah, it's really nice meeting you guys. Yeah, good. Sorry I was late zoom updated my machine. This was I went to click on and mess my machine up and I had to fix it and so it cost me 20 minutes. No worries. Okay. Any last thoughts. Going once going to just one thing so I don't have to, you know, I don't write an email as a follow up it's not about the book just about the zoom room. And the invite was correct, but there was a technical issue, and it was fixed during the meeting. So it's okay to use that going forward. Just so you know, thank you. No thanks. We're not we're not crazy here is what you're saying that's good. That is correct. Okay, beautiful. Thanks Tomas. Beautiful. Thanks everybody for joining. Enjoy your Thank you. Thursday and look forward to seeing you on the 20th and look for some stuff in the wiki mailing list here, and we'll look forward to seeing your everyone's ideas here as they percolate and populate through over the next couple weeks here. Yep. See you guys. See some. Thank you. Bye. Bye.

This 2016 Toyota Camry SE is stock number 21J132A. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Your new and used car headquarters. Today we are checking out this 2016 Toyota Camry SE and it does have the 2.5 liter 4-cylinder motor. It pumps out 178 horsepower. This car has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this car is 100% ready to go. Super white is the color we shoot all of our videos in 1080p, 60 frames per second. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, turn them on right now. Because it is your best way to check out the quality and condition of the car before seeing it in person. And if you'd like to subscribe to our YouTube channel in the lower right-hand part of the screen, hit the gold subscribe button. Click that and subscribe. Click the bell notifications to get updates on our videos that we do each and every day on our new and used inventory. It comes with factory painted alloy rims and firestone all-season tires. These are 215, 55R17s and they have I'd say probably 60 to 70% of the tread left on them. So pretty good amount of tread left on those tires. Front fender is in excellent shape, no dents or dings on there. It does come with the projector lamp headlamps. Turn signals down there. Front bumper is in excellent shape. I didn't see any major dents, dings or cracks on there. And the hood is in excellent condition as well. No major dents or dings on there. Passenger side front fender. Watch the same no major dents or dings on there. And the passenger side rim, no scuffs or scrapes. As you go down this side of the car, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by, just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the car. You can see the car, hear the car, check out all the options and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So you can make a smart buying decision from the comfort of your own home. Back rim is in excellent shape as well. And the back tires have just about as much tread as those front tires and they are Firestone all seasons as well. One thing to note on this car, four-wheel disc brakes, so that's a nice feature. A little bit quicker stopping power. The rear bumper is in pretty nice shape. No major dents, dings or cracks. And the trunk, lid and spoiler are in nice shape. It does come with the chrome-tipped exhaust on there. We'll take a look inside the trunk in just a little bit. Coming down on the driver side just as clean as that passenger side, no dents or dings on there. And this back rim is in excellent shape as well. Down the rest of the side of the car looks really good. Inside the SE package comes with the gray kind of a cloth and leather vinyl mesh. I'm not sure if this is real leather. Kind of feels like real leather. But seats are in excellent shape. No rips or tears, power driver seat, factory floor mats. It does have stability control, auto headlamps, power windows power locks and power mirrors. The door is in really nice shape. We'll hop inside and turn the ignition on so you can see the miles and radio and all that good stuff. You get the Camry animation at the beginning there. And you can see that this car has 51,473 miles. And it's telling me to check the charging system because we've got to turn it on so we'll just turn it on. No check engine lights or anything like that. And you do get an outside temperature display and all your different stuff that can go on here. Anyways, down here you have your leather wrap steering wheel. Bluetooth information center controls, cruise controls and audio controls on the left. It does come with the touchscreen radio and FM and you can do Bluetooth on there as well. It also has a CD player. And this is where your backup camera is going to show up. Down here you got your heated mirrors, climate controls, automatic transmission, passenger side floor mat and seat. They are in excellent shape, no rips or tears on there. And it does come with the power sunroof and the headliner is in really nice condition. Map lights up there. We'll take a quick look at the back seats of the trunk and then we'll check out under the hood. You get side curtain airbags back here as well. And the back seats are in really nice shape, no rips or tears. I don't think this car has ever been smoked in. And it does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats. Carpeting is nice and clean back here as well. Child safety locks on the back doors. Check out the trunk. Those seats do fold down. You got to use these pull tabs here to get those down, but they do fold down. You do get a nice carpet mat back here to get underneath there. You have some jack tools right there and then underneath that is your spare tire. A little hard to do with one hand here. There we go. Anyways, very nice back there. We'll check out under the hood. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today. Hopefully from this HD video. We've been able to tell just how clean this car is all the way around inside. Under the hood we have a 2.5 liter four-cylinder motor. The engine bay is very clean. It runs very smooth. 178 horsepower. Once again, this car has been fully saved and inspected by our service shop. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. Shocks are doing a nice job holding the hood up. And this car is 100% ready to go. I would highly recommend this car from a quality and condition standpoint. And see more pictures of this car. One brother, 450 new and used cars. Trucks, SCVs, minivans, wranglers.

and another one. What's up people? Man Red here coming to you with a video. This time we are going to be looking at a Coleman Perfect Flow stove with one burner. This is part of my hurricane preparedness series that I am recording. There are a couple of other videos that I did make with LED lights, with night lights that are portable and can be used in an emergency situation along with a portable fan that you had saw previously along with a string of LED lights that can be hung outside. This series is continuing on. This one is a Coleman Perfect Flow stove with one burner. The key features of this product are highly efficient and it does come with a sturdy base. It does not come with a propane tank or a bottom tank. It can hold up to a 8 inch pot. It even has support system on the side. This is what it looks like on the side and 10,000 BTUs which is pretty strong. So let's go get started. You can pick these items up either from Home Depot or Amazon. This is not a sponsored video. I buy this stuff myself. Nobody paid me for it. I just like to showcase the good products that they have. Right at the back we have the stainless steel burner. It has been used so there will be a little bit of a dinge to it because we lost power a couple of days ago and I was in the middle of cooking because I like to cook home food. So this can be used. That is the burner. It has a cover on it. As you can see, small burner but we'll have to see how strong it is. The cover base, the instruction manual and please do read it. This is a 543-1B series burner. I do have windows open so don't ever use this thing inside the place. Plenty of warning labels and how to turn it on, how to turn it off and the steps. And here's the base. The thing that I did notice is it does not have a self starter so you will need a match or a torch. And the type of canister that you need is a propane fuel, Coleman this kind. I'm using a 16 ounce. It will last you a long time. So just step one, put it down, make sure the bottom is at the off position. As you can see this one says off and off is facing down. So first step, put it on the base, make sure it's secure. Make sure not to do use this inside. It has to be outside. Take that and put it on. Hold the base that way it doesn't tip over and just thread it. There is a pretty long thread so that's continuously thread it. And once it's threaded just make sure it's not too tight. To turn it on just have your match on or your lighter on. Long enough match or long enough lighter. Then turn the knob on slowly. As soon as it lights up, let me turn the lights off and show you how strong it is. And once you're done, just turn it off completely. Make sure not to touch this thing so this thing might be hot if you use it for a long time. I just use it for a few minutes. It is cool to touch. I start from the top and go to the bottom. Remember safety is number one priority. Once it is cool off, once it has cooled off just start turning it. Just make sure to hold the base and voila it is out. Once it's out put it back in the container and put the cover back on and use the use the case as necessary. Definitely in a camping environment if you're going out camping or if you have a power situation where the power goes out. If you're in a hurricane have this thing handy. Keep it in a cool dark place away from flames and you can use it if and when necessary in the cold, in the heat and please don't use it indoors. Make sure to have the windows open if you plan to use it indoors. As always like, comment, subscribe and I will see you guys in the next one. Later people. Bye.

Mayor Eric Adams Holds Public Hearing and Bill Signing Ceremony

Mayor Eric Adams Holds Public Hearing and Bill Signing Ceremony City Hall – Blue Room New York, NY 10007 August 24, 2022

GIXzGyV0TaE

Good job. Good morning. I'm really pleased to be joined today by four of my colleagues in government as we assign a bill that brings relief to New York. I'm home owners. We're here with the co-sponsors, Councilman Justin Brennan, Councilman Kalman Yaga, Councilwoman Camilla Hanks, Camilla Hanks, and long-time fighter for this bill, Councilman Joe Borelli. This is something that you've found important for many years. We want to thank this speaker, Adrian Adams for being one of the lead co-sponsors of this bill. We know right now too many New Yorkers and middle income homeowners across our city and boroughs are struggling. We often talk about low income, but many of the moderate and middle income New Yorkers are also feeling the pinch. COVID-19 has brought a level of despair for them and has made matters worse. Broken people lost wages while their cost of living continues to increase. And we want to remove some of that worry and burden that New York homeowners are feeling. And so today we deliver for them. These council members came together and made sure to produce a bill that would give relief to these homeowners. Intro 600 provides a property tax rebate of up to $150 to low and middle income homeowners. This will implement a state authorized law allowing the city to provide a rebate of property taxes for eligible properties on fiscal year 2022. And I am extremely pleased with this. I think far too often we forget about our middle income homeowners and even low income homeowners that are trying to eke out living every day in the city as a city and countries becoming more and more expensive. I want to turn it over to my good friend, co-sponsor of the bill, Councilman Justin Brennan. Thank you, Mayor. We've successfully identified the one thing that old New Yorkers can agree on. Our property tax system is badly broken and the city is doing its part. The city is doing everything it's can to fix the property tax system. And this is a way for us to give just a little bit back to property owners. Like the mayor said, I think sometimes people think that if you own a home or a co-op or a condo, you're rich. That's not the case. Homeowners and co-op and condo owners are struggling. This is the first time in 15 years that the city is giving money back to middle and low income homeowners. So that's a really, really big deal. And I like to call it a rebate while you wait. While we wait to get the property tax system actually reformed, this is a good faith down payment to say, look, we're working on it. We need our partners in Albany to help us out. But this is the city saying we're serious about fixing this. And this is just a little bit to ease your burden. So thank you, Mr. Mayor. This is a great day. And Councilman Yegan, Carmen Yegan. You know, you get to the park after a couple of people speak that everything's been said, but not everybody said it. But I do really want to thank the mayor for your leadership and for your advocacy on this. This is something that you believe in as well as we do. You know, it's been said that the city has this kind of resource. Well, why should we give it back? It's a reminder, I think, that tax dollars belong to the taxpayers, not the tax spenders. And it's a small, small rebate. It's a start. But as my colleague Chair Brannon said, you know, our tax property system, our property tax system is broken. It is a regressive system. It's something that members who are here have been advocating for for a long time. And as the mayor, when he was our president and state senator, was also advocating for a reform of a system that far too often taxes the retirees of New York out of their own homes. This is a small measure, a way for us to say we get it, we hear your pain, we feel your pain, we understand where you're coming from. And particularly, particularly the last three years has shown that if we don't do something to recognize the middle class, their contributions to New York City, and particularly those who are struggling to reach that middle class, we're going to lose them. This is a way to make sure that doesn't happen. So again, thank you, Mr. Mayor, for your leadership, I'm very grateful. And I will be honest, I'm now in today. Yes. Councilwoman Hanks. Thank you, thank you, Mr. Mayor. Good morning. So property taxes have long been a serious issue across our city, and I'm glad that we can deliver some relief for those in need. Most of my colleagues today have said the same thing, so I echo in that sentiment. But this was a truly bipartisan effort with my colleagues in New York City Council that put money in the pockets of homeowners, and we're glad to be able to get it done. My colleague, Joe Borelli, says they're Borelli Bucks and Hanks Bank. So thank you, Mayor Adams, Speaker Adams, for your collaboration and leadership. Staten Island has always forgotten in case of property taxes. We're never forgotten. So thank you very much, Mr. Mayor. And my good friend, Joe Borelli, Councilman from Staten Island. I'm glad Councilmember Hanks mentioned that because the one thing that was consistent in all the months of negotiation would be that they would be, in fact, called Borelli Bucks. But today I think we gotta rename them. I think we gotta either call them Adams' allocations or perhaps Eric Shekels or something because this is a lot of good options. But this is really just more than anything. This is a sign that the city is acknowledging that the property tax system is problematic we don't give money back without a good reason. That's just the truth about this government and every other city government in the country. We don't give money back unless there's a good reason. And in this case, the good reason is that our property tax system is broken. So this is an acknowledgement, a receipt maybe, that the system needs reform. The good news that with the combination with the state's rebate, we're talking about $450, which is actually between five and 10% of most homeowners property tax bills. So trust me, if we raise people's property taxes between five and 10%, there'd be pitchforks coming down Broadway right now. So people should be a little bit excited that in total they'll be getting about five or 10% reduction this year. Hopefully we can do it next year. We can never predict what the outcome is. But one thing we can predict is that we have to move forward on reforming the system that creates this inequitable system. So thank you, Mr. Mayor, for your support. And again, can't wait to see my Eric Shekels come in the mail. We, thanks for the comments. I really wanna thank these electors, these councilmen and women for this important bill. We will open the floor up to any comments from the public. If no comments, we will sign the bill. Thank you.

Protesting Kanu state as residents and NNPP supporters reject tribunal judgment which sacked Governor Yusuf Abba and Lagos election petition tribunal dismisses Jandor and Rhodes Viva's case confirms someone who's victory. This is plus politics and I am Mary Anna Cohn. Some residents of Kanu state took to the streets to protest against the judgment of the election petition tribunal which sacked Governor Yusuf Abba as winner of the 2023 gubernatorial poll in the state. The Kanu state governorship election petitions tribunal sacked Abba and further withdrew the certificate of return presented to him by the independent National Electoral Commission and declared the all-progressive Congress APC candidate Nester Gowat-Gawuna winner of the March 18 governorship polls. As a result, some residents have gone to the streets protesting the verdict by the election petition tribunal. Joining us live in the studio to discuss this is Sanusi Bature. He's the Chief Press Secretary to the governor of Kanu state and also joining us is Ladikwa Johnson who is acting national spokesperson for the New Nigeria People's Party NNPP. Thank you so much gentlemen for joining us. Good evening. Let me start with you Mr. Bature. Let's look at the case and the judgment. Many people would say that they did not see this coming knowing what they know. Because of the Kwan Kwan Sia movement some people would say that they they thought that you know you had a sealed case but there are also people who say you should have seen it coming. Well the reality of the matter is that winning election is not a day job and there are some factors that contributes to winning election. Part of which in Kanu is the grassroot mobilization of the Kwan Kwan Sia movement under the platform of NNPP which brought its excellency Elijah Abakabiri Yusuf into power on the March 18th Gobernatorial elections. In the first place the party has been into the limelight after Senator Abhimusa Konkoso exited the PDP and they come to the NNPP in March 2022 and it has been an operation of one year and he made the party very very popular and particularly in Kanu we were able from zero to somewhere because we don't have a councillor we don't have a local government chairman but we were able to get 18 House of Representatives out of 24. We are also able to get two out of three senators in the first election and we're able to have the highest votes of the presidential election to conquer so in Kanu at that time close to a million votes leading both Tinibu and Atiku and for the second election in March 18 which is the Gobernatorial we have 40 set House of Assembly so NNPP got 26 out of the 40 while APC is having 14 PDP have none and for the Gobernation election we won with a white margin of over 126 votes and Abakabiri Yusuf is the only governor in Nigeria during the 2023 election to win election with over a million votes so he is the governor with the highest vote in Nigeria so therefore we have never expected that there will be a time because some people feel intimidated by the NNPP and some people have been intimidated by what he started within the first hundred days in office they feel like Kanu is too important to be left in the hands of the opposition so therefore what happened at the tribunal is an unfair judgment lopsided and we're going to challenge it at the appeal court we're very we're pretty sure that the appeal court and the supreme court will uptown this judgment because the yearnings of the people of Kanu said need to be represented and there have been clear evidences that there's no reason to cancel the 165 votes from the over a million votes that the NNPP got at the Gobernatorial election if you mention the issue the reason the court said first of all one of the grounds for for this petition is that APC is challenging the status of his Excellency Abakabiri Yusuf as a member of the NNPP and by law this is a pre-election matter and even at the pre-election matter APC as an opposition party does not have the ground to challenge us that can be challenged by only a member of NNPP who contested who probably contested election along with the priorities exactly but in our case his Excellency contested on a post because there was a consensus and he imagined victorious at the consensus and what we did was a permission we did a permission in June 2022 at San Abacha Youth Center and then he was affirmed by all the delegates including the parties stakeholders at the state level so therefore there's no contention about that but APC came to challenge that status and the court at the preliminary level said it doesn't have jurisdiction to take care of such issue but on the other way around they still say if they have the ground they will declare him not a member of the NNPP that's aside because it doesn't really affect the status of the judgment but the other issue that affected the status of the judgment is the issue of removing of 165,000 boat from our boat which is over 1 million boats so even at that APC claimed that there are some unstamped ballot papers there are those that are not signed by the presiding officers and those that are not dated so the electoral act as amended 2022 as amended clearly spelt out the reason for accepting an unstamped ballot paper because section 63 subsection 2 of the electoral act clearly said that as far as unstamped ballot paper or dated or undated or unsigned ballot paper is concerned as long as the presiding officer is able to justify that that ballot paper is from the ballots the ballots bunch supplied by INEC which is the electoral empire so therefore that shall be counted it shall be counted so where are the agents of the APC at that time that they couldn't challenge that unsigned ballot paper at the polling station and then APC said in their petition that they are going to provide thousands of witnesses to testify before the court on some of the evidences presented before it but they were able to present only 32 witnesses and even those 32 witnesses at the level of cross examination our lawyers were able to challenge them and were able to make them do now some of their deposition of our evidence is interesting Mr Johnson let me bring you in here still talking facts of the case he's told us most of it legally especially if you are defending a case such as this in making sure that you prove these votes and the cancellation the burden is on the APC I guess in this case to provide all the witnesses from all the polling units was this done no it wasn't the petition itself by the APC was a petition based on overvoting violence etc and of course the ballots that were presumably not stamped or what have you for you to prove the Niger the Nigerian law has established that each polling unit is independent you have to show what happened and that polling unit and it must be done by someone presumably an agent or someone that was there at the polling unit now you challenged over a thousand polling units and you only brought 32 people to court so automatically you know that they have there is no way they could have proven widespread violence or what have you but then the panel did what it did it decided in its own wisdom but another thing that is worrisome is the facts that people have said people of the tribunal legal practitioners of the tribunal have said that these ballots came in or the so-called unsigned ballots were attended from the bar not from a witness in the witness book box and so the NMPP had no opportunity to cross-examine meaning that they had no fair hearing regarding that aspect of it so normally they had normally your party parties attorney is supposed to see this particular evidence and it should not be tended by a lawyer it should be from a witness yes ordinarily such a thing would be tended by a witness most logically it ought to have come from the person in whose custody it was which was I neck that would be the natural thing I like was joined in this petition it was a dependent as well okay so you would have expected the I neck officer to tender we've had 165,000 so so so ballots that we haven't there wasn't stamped or whatever we would have been able to say okay based on section 83 and the 63 to would have then been able to ask them that okay you had them why did your presiding office account did it come out of the pad of ballot papers etc etc etc that way you'd have had a more holistic thing about those ballots can I ask I've covered elections so I probably have a fair knowledge of how these things work before those ballot papers are given out the I neck official shows them to the agents right and and these agents have to either agree or disagree before you know the process begins do you know if this was done it was done most likely it was done and even when it's been sorted the agents are there when you empty the box when you sort the ballots they're there they look at it then you start taking one and MPP one APC one PDP they're there they didn't object so all of a sudden you now come up with this point that is why a lot of people law professors different people if you read the opinion pages and newspapers all up in arms about this judgment it really makes no sense to a lot of us are you implying that this judge is where they swung this judgment in favor of the APC are you implying that the bench is biased well not necessarily I am saying that they have brought about a miscarriage of justice either by not avert in their minds to 63 to or by just negligence on the other hand many are implying not like the poor Johnson many are implying that with the surrounding facts the optics we have etc. that they are not comfortable with how they arrived at their decision you understand I will not say that they swung it's for the APC or for any side based on bias but one issue you will recall if you've read it that one of the judges went on to cast aspersions in source at members of the NMPP calling us bandits terrorists and calling us a cult now with that I can make both to say that oh that man was prejudiced interesting let's put a pin then let me come back to you mr. Bature let's talk about the government now many people are worried that with this you know happening it might be a distraction from governance it might not allow the governor to you know continue with what he's done in that same and breath I want to ask it's 100 plus days for your governor in office even though this verdict has been given what can the use of administration say they've done in a few days that it's been in office well the hundred days have been a very successful days of the administration of the engineer abacabir Yusuf why I say this is because of the laudable projects and achievement my son achievement he was able to record the judgment did not in any way distract him because even a day after the judgment he held the state weekly executive council meeting where he approves a lot of projects and he continued to do whatever necessary to ensure that cano is under a serious administration so within the hundred days let me give an example of what he achieved in education because education has been his priority number one number two and number three so you remember the issue and I have seen it in the news here in Lagos that there is a fear a lot of students will drop out from the university because of the hike in the tuition fees so in canoes the story is different because his excellency has directed that the ministry of higher education should pay for 100% tuition fee for 7,000 students of canoes indians studying at Bayer University which is the only federal university in the state and for over 10 state-owned tertiary institutions within the state which include two state-owned universities his excellency directed that instead of increasing like what other states are doing he said the current tuition fee before the first subsidy removal should also be reduced to 50% so some people that are studying NCE diploma you see them paying less than 10,000 naira per session and some in the university you see them paying just 10,000 plus per session so it's very easy in canoes and apart from that he also reintroduced the foreign scholarship program which was started by senator Abiyo Musa Konkosu by October 1001 first-class holders will defer to Nigeria to 14 different countries to study master's degree in different fields and also he has settled 1.6 billion naira which is the payment for the payment of senior secondary school examination NECA in particular for the previous and this year's candidates so he has settled that few few months ago and then he ordered the opening of the 26th Institute of for skill accusation because we're suffering from unemployment and for you to get us out of that unemployment thing you need to provide the youth with the skills so there were 26 institutions that are mainly designed to provide on the job training, fishery, animal feats, agribusiness mechanization, film industry, development journalism, entrepreneurship, a lot of pills so those institutes were closed by Ganduja administration and they have not operate in the last eight years. On assumption, it's excellency director that all of them should be reopened and admissions to start immediately so that people will be enrolled would be trained and startup capital will be given to them to be doing business in different areas. Part of those 26 institutions there's a reformatory institute which take care of the drug artists because you know if you look at the indices. I was going to ask about you know what the government is doing that regard because there's been not just in Kanu but then across look I think I've asked you that question before about the drug. You know the indices for drug abuse does not favor Kanu in any way the last 10 years I can see because a lot of youths, male and female have engaged themselves into the issue of drug abuse so it's excellency startup attacks post and the hero opened the reformatory institute so they would be reformed trained and they will be given a job depending on or some would be taken to school if they have the required qualification they would be taken to university or polytechnic or colleges of education and some of them will be given startup capital to start any business of their choice so that they can be proud of themselves and their families can be proud of them and then as a professional in the water industry Kanu especially the metropolitan area has suffered a lot in terms of the scarcity of portable water. So within the 100 days most of the metropolitan area are now being supplied with a portable water almost everywhere because he has repaired most of the water treatment plants and he appointed all the necessary MDAs under the Ministry of Water Resources and those are expert you know that is his own area is an expert in water resources and yes so it's an area that he has so much interest so we were able to achieve a lot in the issue and now he's going into the rehabilitation of dams so that we can have the available water for irrigation so that the state will be will maintain its status in having the all year round production of agriculture. Let me break come back to the politics of this whole case it was reported that one of your commission threatened the judge although we hear that your governor has you know let him go but then many would ask why what gave this commissioner the temerity to speak on behalf of your administration because I mean he may not have been speaking on behalf of the governor but then he's a representative. First of all I want people to understand that my governor my principal is a non-nonsense man and that commissioner does not represent the governor it's not commissioner for information and it's not spokesperson to the governor in any way it's a commissioner for land and physical planning. Somewhere somehow he got interviewed by some social media activists and he made that statement and the governor as a chief security of the state cannot in any way condone such unguided utterances so therefore he immediately fired the commissioner so that because we believe an official to that caliber should not be seen making such utterances because it relates to the security peace and security of the state so therefore the governor need to be appreciated for taking a proactive major immediately because few hours after the statement his excellency has issued a statement saying that he relieved the commissioner out of his appointment immediately. Finally Mr Johnson before we go because we're out of time how long before we see the NMPB back in court to you know challenge this decision and the verdict? I believe that the notice of appeal must have been filed by now so once that is done the appeal entered then briefs of appeal will be asked for we will file a written brief appellant's brief and the respondents will file the respondents brief and I believe that if there are no interim matters to be sorted out that the appeal will be heard. Okay well we'll look forward to that. Samusibature is the chief press secretary to the governor of Kainu state and Ladic for Johnson is the acting national spokesperson for the new Nigeria People's Party. Thank you so much gentlemen for being here. Thank you madam. All right we'll take a break when we come back we will be looking at the verdict from the Lagos state tribunal. Stay with us.

I'm Darren Marlar and this is your Daily Dose of Weird News. Movie actor and longtime Cheers star Woody Harrelson says he has stopped smoking marijuana. California marijuana dispensaries aren't sure how they plan to deal with the financial loss. Tom Brady's stolen jersey from this year's Super Bowl has been recovered. After being found in Mexico in the possession of a member of the international media, the NFL says the game-worn jersey from Super Bowl 51 and another jersey missing from Super Bowl 49 were retrieved after an investigation led by the FBI. Mexico, eh? So you still think we don't need that wall? The latest Forbes list of the world's billionaires shows President Trump plummeting more than 200 spots from last year with his estimated worth diving $1 billion. So to the surprise of the entire world, it appears Trump running for president might have been a bad idea. A brown tabby cat is being hailed as a hero after she pounded on a door and alerted her family to dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide in their Wisconsin home. In all actuality, the cat just wanted to get into the room to use the litter box, but it makes them feel better to call her a hero. Why not? You may find this hard to believe, but apparently there is a belief circulating in the NBA that the earth is flat. Seriously. Kairi Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers first revealed his flat-earth beliefs last month and now retired basketball player Shaquille O'Neal has come out on the world's flat closet. In an episode of his podcast, broadcast late February but only recently picked up by the media, Shaq said, What? The earth is flat. Shaq, what are you talking about? The earth is flat. No, it's not. Yeah, it is. No, it's not. Yes, it is. No. Listen. It's not. There's three ways to manipulate the mind, which you read, what you see, and what you hear. Okay. Conspiracies. In school, first thing they teach us is, oh, Columbus discovered America. But when he got there, it was some fair-skinned people with the long hair smoking out of peace pipes. So what does that tell you? Columbus didn't discover America. He found where some other people already lived. Listen, I'm just saying, when I drive from Florida to New York, flat, New York to Seattle. It's not flat. It's not flat. It's not flat. It's a square. That's what it is. Then again, this guy thought the movie Kazam was going to be huge, so we probably shouldn't trust his instincts. Norway knocked Denmark out of the number one spot when it comes to the world's happiest country. Of course, when Denmark heard the news, it bummed them out so much they dropped from two to the five-spot. In an interview with Fox News, President Trump said he might not be president if it wasn't for Twitter. Four years from now, he'll be saying he would still be president if it wasn't for Twitter. In Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, 40-year-old Thomas Jones had to be taken by police to a hospital after a rather incredible feat. Jones apparently jumped from the back of a garbage truck, landed in a snowbank and slid down onto the road where he managed to then get run over by the same garbage truck. Idiot-level expert! In Italy, a guy held up a post office. Postal employees quickly locked the door after the man fled and watched in amazement as he got into his car, sat there for a moment, and then ran back to the door. Having it locked, he began to shout for them to PLEASE let him in because he left his car keys inside. He was still banging to be let back in when the police arrived. Russia's anti-corruption czar says the cost of the average bribe there has jumped 75%. How would he know unless someone bribed him? At which point you probably shouldn't be the anti-corruption czar. The Weather Channel says it will name a winter storm next year Colbert for late-night TV hosts Stephen Colbert. Which seems quite appropriate for a guy who blows a lot of hot air. A New Zealand river is the first in the world to be granted the same rights as humans. Man, I am glad this is New Zealand. If this was the US, the river would have the right to bear arms and that just sounds dangerous. Every half of Canadians want to deport people who are illegally crossing into Canada from the US, and a similar number disapprove of how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is handling the influx. Have you thought about building a wall?

We've got the house We've got the money the spacey a you can help me with a guest list and Susie You'll stand right there by that window in a white satin gown There'll be flowers everywhere and music playing and the best people in New York bowing before you Later, I stood in that ballroom in my white satin With Gus and a spacey a facing an empty room There was a Dresden Shepherd and shepherds on the mantle behind us and Suddenly Gus picked up the shepherd and hurled it across the empty ball Oh God, how could you have could you so they didn't come they'll pay for this every last one of them Up to bed Gus the evening is bad enough for her without you shouting and carrying on like that. It doesn't matter It doesn't matter that no one came I'm just so tired. You had better carry her upstairs. No, no, I'll be all right up I'll be all Susie Susie carry her upstairs to bed. I will send one of the men for the doctor So tired I know why don't you go out doors and walk? I'll pay them back if it takes every set I've got Hadn't been for those snobs. I might have had a son today And you wouldn't be lying there with all that pain behind you or nothing to show for it Probably have happened Dirty rotten snobs Susie, I swear to you. I'll pay every one of them back There was nothing I could say or anyone else could say that would ever change him I Forgot about the episode as the months and in the years went by and Herbert and Elliot and Alice were born And it wasn't until long ago Much later than that that I found out that he'd been getting his revenge That was an hour when I feared him almost hated him an Hour when I met a completely new major Parkington Gus. Have you seen the newspaper? Prominent financier commits suicide Radna Beaumont dies. Yes, I saw it He was one of the people you invited to the party wasn't he yes According to the papers he was facing bankruptcy It can be very dangerous to refuse an invitation to a party you give cut it very Good you Blair's cousin was here. She begged me as a favor to ask you not to ruin her cousin She said he would kill himself. Good you Blair won't kill himself. He hasn't the guts. I'll try to explain it to you Those same men would have ruined me just as ruthlessly. They were trying to do it, but they weren't strong enough I Can tell you one thing If they had I wouldn't have hanged myself in a cupboard. I'd have gone back to work and made another fortune Was an ambitious man Ambitious for himself ambitious for his wife Ambitious for his children They went to the best schools dressed like royalty and had everything money could buy I Tried to keep him from giving them too much But he was determined they should have all the things that neither of us had in our childhood And they certainly did and so it happened when our daughter Ellis was still too young to know what she wanted She decided to marry a French Duke Espasier I know this marriage is wrong. Do you realize that Gus is settling a hundred thousand dollars a year on the Duke? I cannot sanction a marriage like that. You may be right, but it is too late for that Or let her marry him Susie if she does not marry the Duke it it would be another like him She is doomed Why do you say that? It is the same with her brothers their father has implanted in them a sense of being possessed of some special privilege of being outside the rules which govern the conduct of ordinary people So Alice will marry Not for love, but for a title and there is nothing you can do about it Espasier I'm so afraid you're right Would you like to send a personally imprinted Christmas card this Christmas so unusual your friends will show up to all who visit them during the Holiday season and then see the new hallmark creations at the friendly store where you buy hallmark cards There are five distinctive types of hallmark cards for imprinting with your name each designed as only hallmark craftsmen can design them There are hallmark cards with beautiful designs and silken tapestries Richly engraved formal cards and cards that speak a man's language with sporting scenes by Edwin McGargy Lynn Bogue hunt Lacel Ripley There's the hallmark blue book with sophisticated designs and surprise features and there's the hallmark gallery artist series Open the hallmark album at any page and what a treasure lies before you quaint winter scenes by Grandma Moses Delightful Christmas scenes by Norman Rockwell here, too You'll find Salvador Dali Marcel Vertez Cezanne Renoir go get money Van Gogh Yes, more than 50 foremost artists contribute their genius to the hallmark gallery artist collection Personal Christmas cards on which you will be proud to have your name imprinted Remember these are hallmark cards when friends receive them and look on the back as you did They'll see the hallmark and know you cared enough to send the very best And now we continue with part two of Louis Brumfields Mrs. Parkington Starring Rosalind Russell close my eyes to enter the past randomly Three years after Alice's marriage was a summer. I shall always look back on It's the most terrible summer of my life My son Herbert was killed in June in an automobile accident leaving a widow and two small children and In August came a letter from Alice saying her marriage was unbearable and impossible She wanted a divorce a Spacey and I left for Paris immediately and when we arrived there we learned that the Duke was contesting the divorce This was obviously a move to extract blackmail money So I decided to match the Duke at his own game. I Hired detectives got a complete file on the Duke's past and present activities and then arranged a meeting He was as charming as ever Mrs. Parkington your lovelier than even my memories of you. Thank you Jacques. You needn't be flattering This is hardly a friendly meeting. I Understand that you have treated Alice abominably and that you have absented yourself from home for weeks at a time It is all quite true But from the beginning it was complete misery to live with her nothing is worth that Jack Understand this there isn't going to be any more money. My husband was too generous to you in the first place Last time you dealt with him This time you deal with me I have a dozier here on you that was compiled by six of the finest and possibly the most unscrupulous detectives in France It is in complete order ready to be released to the newspapers You are very good at your games as parking for instance Do you know a madam? It would be more foolish to say no an Exposure of that little episode in your life would drag in the names of other important people you need not continue I'm forced to say that your investigators are remarkably good My lawyer and yours will get together. I will not contest the divorce I've missed you a spacey. I love you. You look grand Alice darling. It's good to see I've arranged a wonderful summer for you You'll soon forget all this business. Oh, it's so good to have my family home again Suzy let me tell you about that when we get home. Come on the cars right over here dead my son My son did don't darling. There's nothing that can be done now, but to kill himself. Why? Why we don't know that he killed himself. It happened in Denver. The gun may have been discharged accidentally Get out of this house Suzy. I have to go for a while Can't bear this house. I can't bear to look at it to be shut up in it if I stay here I'll die too Suzy. I hate this house. I tell you I hate this house I hate the money. We're choking smothering strangling in money. Can't you see that? Haven't been for the money Herbert wouldn't have had money to buy a car Alice wouldn't have married that fortune hunter Eddie wouldn't have had everything and been tired of it before he was 25 I hate the money and I hate this house. I Wanted you and my children to have everything I Wanted to find a dynasty where you founded your dynasty. I hope you're proud of it. I Remember thinking I'm a surely died brief and bitterness But the heart has a way of reconciling itself and going on Just as Gus had said New York was there to conquer or to be conquered So it is with life if you've read blood in your veins you conquer life and go on And only when you're long past the hours of trial Do you discover that what you conquered each time was yourself? Knowing this I was able to go on When the major died Suzy you have been wonderful. I know the funeral and all was a great trial to you It was a great sorrow for you to aspatia. I Know that Gus might have married you if it hadn't been for that explosion in a leaping rock No, Suzy Gus Parkington was in love with youth And I have been old from the hour of my birth just as you have been young He he was a splendid man. He was a happy man. I Think people are really happy in proportion to how much they give He wasn't always a good man But he gave a great deal He gave a great deal more than he took one of us Leaping rocks is 67 years back into time 67 years from the moment when the major first told me about New York To the moment when my granddaughter's husband Amory walked into my sitting room on Christmas Eve The whole family was gathered downstairs for a Christmas dinner And I was just about to go down when he came in Hello there granny Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Amory. I hate to bother you before the Christmas dinner, but it is rather important How much do you need this time Amory? $750,000 $750,000 That's the amount I've stolen I took funds I had access to that weren't mine to invest. I thought I had a sure thing and that I could put the money back Why Amory? Why Amory? You had plenty of money. You knew there was more much more in the background You only had to wait until I died. I wanted to make more money. I wanted to be successful If I give you this money Will that stop the whole thing? I hope so. It's just a matter of putting it back now And if I don't give it to you, I shall have to stand trial She's getting cross about it. Come Amory. Let's go down I'll think this over and let you know my decision before you leave tonight I sat at the dinner table looking around at the faces of gusses and my descendants and Suddenly I knew with a cold sense of defeat that not one of those faces was a happy one And I remembered Alice's face when she was young and Herbits and I knew that they had not been happy either But Gus and I had been happy and suddenly realizing that I knew what I had to do Quiet everybody quiet, please grandmother has the floor a Merry Christmas to you all. I think perhaps I had better say that first Because I don't know how Mary you're going to think it is when I finish first of all Amory is in trouble that calls for some financial assistance, which I am going to give him Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to give it to him Because I don't blame him for the trouble he is in any more than I blame the rest of you for being selfish and spoiled Amory like you is a product of the things. He had no control over the era that preceded him. I Think now he has learned a lesson But something must be done about him and about you So for all of you when I die a Small trust fund will be set up the income from which will pay your rent and food and very little else If you want anything else, I very much hope you will go out and earn it Well, I hardly thought it would be pleased but grandmother the rest of the money It's going back Where it came from you mean a memorial for the major no indeed I'm not interested in creating a legend at this late date that Gus was a great man Gus did a lot of good. Most of it was done accidentally. I stayed married to him all these years Because he was a scamp on a gigantic scale and because he was fascinating And because I was in love with him Right up to the end. I was kind of Gus's Gun now when you come right down to it No The money is going to things like hospitals and settlements and libraries And now let's get on with this party because tomorrow I am going on a trip And I want to be good and rested to go on it. Where are you going granny? I am going back to leaping rock Nevada And so I went back to finish the days In the land where I had begun them And now I was content with a hot sleepy slowness of the days For I knew what lay beyond the mountains What do York and most of the rest of the world was like And I knew that here was what all the rest of the world was seeking Simplicity and a sense of freedom and well-being and Happiness of spirit It had been there all the time But it had taken me 67 years James Hilton and Rosalyn Russell will return But first may I invite you again to see the new hallmark Christmas cards now on display at your friendly hallmark dealers If you prefer to select cards to individually fit each one on your list You'll find a hallmark card that says just what you want to say the way you want to say it There are hallmark albums from which to select cards for imprinting with your name and there are the many boxes of assorted Hallmark cards.

By the way, I have a video a category video on bolo panties And I think she does too. So check that out these five items came from She also sold them 99 cents free shipping is what she started the auction at These are from the um, 99 cent auction challenge that I did There were 29 of us that did this basically We had 10 items that we showed our Viewers and you guys picked the five that you wanted us to auction off um These are the five that everyone picked for danielle and i'm going to tell you about them In just a second All right, we're at 12 minutes. I didn't want the video to get too long. All right So this is another one of those lorado. Oh now i'm saying it wrong Lodro Lodro. I always want to say like lorado like it's western or something Lod grow And it is amazing. I love these. I think they're beautiful I really do. I think they're just really neat And then this is the bottom And i'm just showing you guys the pictures here because it's super cool All right So what she said about this this figurine was just one item of a truck load that they were lucky enough To handpick from a storage unit opportunity knocked and we opened the door And I did share this on one of the auction videos. So if that sounds familiar, that's where you heard it She said they paid 800 for an entire truck load So she's estimating that the one piece cost between two and five dollars And she said she does have a video showing that day on her channel This sold for 355 40 bids free shipping All right, this vintage star wars 1978 Kenner sealed bagged obi-wan Kenobi hong kong toy figure And the reason I did this these five last is because I did show these in the challenge video So um, I didn't want you guys to see the beginning and think everything was a repeat So just these five and she got this figure about eight to ten years ago in northern kentucky close to Cincinnati she went to a yard sale of a former kenner employee That had worked there in the 70s and 80s. She had several tables of orange and black boxes of star wars toys She picked one up and it was mark 1978. She asked how much And they said large boxes were 10 small boxes five. She said she bought all of them that they had about 20 boxes and um Two darth vader headcases and she threw the bagged figures in free. So i'm guessing this is a bagged figure And it sold for 168 dollars with 28 bids. So she pretty much got it free The next item is this vintage alpha roma romeo right romeo car model japan new old stock sealed and This fendi perfume right here these came from that same 800 dollar unit and the fendi perfume sold for 93 dollars 39 bids and this model car sold for 5601 with 16 bids The last item is this vintage world war two era Photo album scrapbook and i'm going to show you some of the other pictures Because it's very very cool and you got the horse jump in there and There is some writing on the pictures. I don't know if that decreases the value or increases it. Maybe who knows Um, some people might like to know the the history. Oh look at the horses Cool super cool Okay, so this she bought at a local yard sale a fellow reseller that I know had this at his sale I paid 30 for it because I absolutely love old photographs. I love buying them enjoying looking at them and selling them um Sold it for 99 and one cent 22 bids And free shipping on that item again head on over and give danielle from yard sales and dreams a sub Let's get her to a thousand guys. She's at 504 when I did this video, but it's probably not going to share For a little bit because I've got the challenge videos I want to get up first and I have a couple other featured seller videos And I now have my um Members only video that I'm going to be doing once a month. So I only do three or four videos on this channel. So Um, I'm going to have to work this one in at some point So I'm not sure Which video she was talking about that shows where they go and pick up The storage unit. So you guys will kind of have to scroll through and uh Try to find that because I'm not sure You might be able to type in Um Storage unit or something like that into her search bar I should have asked her before I did the video to send me the link to the video and then I could have Looked at it and shared it with you guys, but I haven't watched it yet So it definitely sounds like a awesome video um Oh big profits or bust we spent 800 on a bundle Here it is you guys So you have to spend money to make money.

And yeah, today we're going to cover 10 different tools that you can use as online teachers that are going to help you, that are completely free as well. Also going to share a list of the best, in my opinion, the best online teaching platforms right in the beginning. So because I know some people don't have all the time to watch the whole live.

I know Juliana is in Illinois. I am in South Korea. I forgot to mention I am in South Korea. It is 10 a.m. on a Friday. I'm super excited. Friday. And we are heading into a holiday weekend. Monday is off. It's the, what is it called? Like foundation day, I think? Something like that. So that's on the third Sunday. So the government, actually fun fact before we jump in, the government in South Korea, they introduced this new law that whenever a public holiday falls on a weekend, the following Monday is off. So that's new this year. I think it was like since only summer, in summer they introduced that. So that's why whenever there's a public holiday that falls on Saturday or Sunday, Monday has to be off. So that's why. And a lot of people obviously love that. That's very, very nice. So that's what's happening this weekend and next weekend as well because next on the 9th there's another holiday, which is Sunday. So Monday is off again. It's pretty awesome. Awesome. Cool. We have Sherlyn from the Philippines. Hi. We have Lee. It's 2 a.m. Where are you, Lee? Jerome is in Boston. Yeah, 9 p.m. Thursday. So we're, oh my God, 11 hours. We have an 11 hour time difference.

How are you? Where in Vietnam are you? Awesome. Great. All right. Then let's jump in. I don't want to hold anybody up here. Let me just check. Everything's good. I'm working with two computers here and it's just me. There's no one in the background helping me. So please bear with me if there's any delays. And sometimes I just need to take a sip of my coffee because it is early-ish and I do get a sore throat sometimes from talking so much, but that's about it. Yeah. All right. Then I'm just going to make myself a little bit smaller so that you can see the slides better. And yeah, like I said, today's topic is 10 free tools and also software for English online teachers. Those are free tools that you can use that are significantly going to help you in your online classes and also managing classes and finding materials for your classes and all of those things. So first off, oh my gosh. First off, a quick introduction about myself. If you have never seen me before, my name is Linda. I'm a travel writer and content creator. I have my own website which is currently down because I'm renewing it. So if you're checking it out now, lindegoseast.com, it's probably down, but it should be up and running again a completely new site and layout later today in a couple of hours, I hope. So do check it out then. And also on Instagram, I love sharing my content on Instagram at lindegoseast and many of you have already reached out over on Instagram. And it's really, really interesting to talk with you one-on-one and share things. So I really appreciate that. I'm originally from Germany at the US. My mom is German. My dad is American, but I am based in South Korea. I've been here since 2015. Before that, I was also in China. I lived in Germany and America and China and Korea. So yeah, still in Korea now. And I'm also a TEFL and TESOL marketing professional for ITTT. ITTT stands for International TEFL and TESOL Training. You can find us at TEFLCourse.net and on Instagram at International TEFL Training. And obviously some of you are watching on Facebook and on YouTube, so you can find us there as well. And like I said, we also have a pretty big Pinterest account where we also share a lot of good materials for classes. Yeah, ITTT is a leading TEFL and TESOL course provider worldwide. We have a wide variety of different TEFL and TESOL courses, lifetime job support. So if you are not get TEFL or TESOL certified, I highly recommend checking that out. And also with the discount link that I shared in the beginning or at any time, you can scan this QR code in the upper right hand corner to get your 30% off as well. Or you just look into the comment section. There should be this link and you can fill out your application and save 30% off any TEFL or TESOL course from ITTT. Yeah, that's it about me. Let's jump in. And the first thing actually I want to share with you are 20 online teaching companies to work for. And this is if you watched one of my, this was a couple of weeks ago when I did a live session about teaching online, I shared this list as well because these are all non-Chinese online teaching companies because there were some new laws and regulations passed in China that's kind of made it a lot more difficult for teachers from outside of China to teach for online, Chinese online teaching platforms. So that's why I think at the moment it is kind of best to stick to non-Chinese companies so you don't have to worry about, you know, just suddenly being late off or not getting any students and things like that. So I'm going to share this link with you and this again, I shared this before so some of you might have it, but what I want you to do if you think this is useful to you, go ahead and open this link. It's a Google spreadsheet and you can just go ahead and make a copy of this and then save it for yourself. And I'm just going to show you real quick what it looks like. Okay, one second. I'm just going to share a different screen then. So I just want to make sure that you know how to work with this sheet. And then we go into the tools. So this is what it looks like. Yeah, I see many of you have clicked on it. So this is what it looks like and all you will do is just click on file and then make a copy. And then this is your own and you can edit your own and you can save it and keep that for reference. But yeah, so these are 20 non Chinese online teaching companies you can work for. You can see hourly rates, obviously the company name. So you can look for that hourly rate and then the requirements, you know, do you need to have a degree? Do you need to plan your own lessons or are the lessons provided information about the students who be teaching adults or children, etc. Are there any minimum hours? Some teaching platforms, they will have minimum hours that you need to teach per week or per month. So this is for example, 1012 per week, you have to teach, but some they don't have any minimum. So you're free to even just teach one hour, for example, is a Tefl required or not, do they accept non native English speakers or not? Do you need to have previous teaching experience, all those things, and just any additional information. And here's the application link. So I just wanted to share that with you right off the bat so that everybody has it. And you can just use that for your reference to just yeah, do with that, what you will basically. Okay. Oh, maybe there any questions about it? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Jerome, yes, I remember you were there at that time. Yeah. So I just wanted to share that with you again in case you know somebody obviously there's some new people today. So just want to pass that along. So again, just click on file and make a copy and then you have your own version of this for reference you can keep it you can edit it etc. Okay, good. Then I'm going to share my slides again one second. Yes. Good. All right. Very good. All right, then let's start with the first tool that I want to talk about today and that is zoom. Now, obviously, probably most of you have worked with zoom and you know zoom, probably better than me. Actually, I think I was a start a late starter when it came to zoom I used to only use skype and then my teaching platform where I teach now. They also started offering zoom classes and I actually teach someone else who was also using zoom so I had some experience from that. But I actually now prefer zoom over Skype and a lot of people say that that zoom is better. So what is zoom used for if you don't know it's for video conferencing or like video meetings, video phoning and it's basically going to act as your virtual classroom. And also since countries around the world went into lockdown zooms daily usage has gone up at least 300 percent according to some statistics, which is really awesome. And also because the usage has gone up so much they're constantly adding new features to it, which is just so great for teachers because zoom has been used for online teaching, especially during the pandemic and the lockdowns in so many different countries and so many new features have been added that are so useful to teachers. So if you are not using zoom yet, you might really want to look into it and they also have I mean on YouTube there's so many tutorials or like webinars of the features and you can learn because even now for me it's sometimes a little bit difficult to navigate. There's so many features and can be sometimes a little bit overwhelming so you kind of do need to have some kind of crash course before you start using zoom like for as a teacher professionally. I recommend doing that but yeah some of the best functions in zoom are that you can enable or disable recording so you can record your lessons which can be really useful not only for you know yourself so you can refer back to it oh what did I do with that student did what did we learn or what did I teach them but also if you know a student kind of complains or maybe a parent of the student complains you can show them video proof oh no actually we covered this or oh no this is how it happened you know sometimes you just want to have some proof something you can actually show and refer back to but also you can use this for yourself for feedback so you can rewatch and maybe improve you know your teaching skills very useful also the mute and unmute function sometimes especially if you teach a lot of students you don't want to have them all like with open mics so you want to have the option you can actually mute all of your students so that only you are unmuted which is really good something I think a feature that we would really want to have in the real world as well that would be very useful we also have room polling so you can actually do polls live you know in during the session which is really cool and then another feature that I also think is really really good and I haven't really used is um waiting rooms so you can enable that and then only you can see when someone's basically in the waiting room and then you can let them in to your class your virtual class which is kind of cool so while you're still prepping um maybe and then you can let them all in so they are waiting in the waiting room first and there's also a meeting or a class scheduler so you can basically set up schedule the class and then send out an email reminder or just an invitation to the person as well so I think that's really good there's some more I've picked what I really like also this is a new feature so it says better but it's the slides as virtual background so that's really great for teachers I think so you can actually change your background to be slides that you make like a presentation which is cool so you can just present like almost like in the real world which is kind of cool then obviously the white board that is super useful for teachers I'm also going to show you another white board option in a little bit that I use personally um then screen sharing that is what I do so I use a different tool for white board for boarding stuff and then I use the screen sharing feature on zoom to share that with my audience so that my students can see my screen you can also um that's the great thing about zoom that Skype can't do or at least I don't I don't think I figured it out on Skype I don't think you can do it on Skype when you share your screen um when you share your screen you can give your student remote access to your screen so this is really good for you know letting your students kind of take over and complete some exercises and tasks tasks by themselves rather than you just always moving your mouse and doing everything um and I think that really adds a very very good interactive component because with online teaching sometimes I think it's just a lot of like lecture style so you want to make it as interactive as possible for your students and I think that this remote control option really does that really well and every time I've used it with my students they loved it they love being in control and filling out the board or you know matching you can do matching exercises they can move your mouse and stuff like that and also type they can type um so it's really really good I really like that about um zoom and this is something you can't do on Skype um at least I'm not aware I don't think you can then we have computer audio uh that's also something that Skype can't do I think so this is especially useful for if you're showing a video or if you do any kind of listening exercises you'd need to be able to share your computer audio so that your students can also hear it in the same quality and volume so yeah and then there's also a feature on zoom where it lets you connect to your dropbox so this is good for um sharing files and things like that um and then I found this article here 20 of the best zoom tools and features so I just wanted to share that with you as well because there's so many more um tools and features and like integrations so some of the some of them are like third-party tools that you can download and link with your zoom um so check that out there might be something really really useful there yeah looks like this article from teach thought the best zoom tools for teachers so there's a lot more that you can do with zoom to make your classes more interactive so yeah and maybe there's some tools are there some other tools that you use for teaching that maybe I have missed that you find very very useful like I said I'm fairly new to zoom actually so I'm sure some of you are actually much more familiar with zoom and how to use it best um for teaching online so I would love to hear from you guys any of you if there is a feature that I have not mentioned right now that you think um we should add to our list let me know and I'm gonna drink some coffee while I'm waiting for an answer maybe not I mean there's really so much you can do with zoom and that's why I think it's best to kind of watch some tutorials or you know webinar from them yeah Juliana says Skype is good actually do not have a zoom account yeah so some of those features like I said I don't think you can you can do screen share on Skype but you can't give remote access I don't think on Skype and you can share audio so I actually think zoom for teaching is better than Skype in my opinion okay for groups breakout rooms are useful what are breakout rooms so if we're taking a break I've not heard of breakout rooms that sounds very good okay Jerome says but for groups groups you need more than the free zoom account oh if you if you have a meeting with more than one person you need a pro account I didn't know that um Microsoft team is an option I believe yeah and I think also Google just started doing something like team as well in their Gmail they added more functions more than three okay so if you're teaching more than three people you need a you need to upgrade okay yeah I only teach one-on-one actually I don't teach any group classes yet so I did not know that that's good to know interesting good all right and Cheryl and says you can also divide students when they do group work in zoom oh that's very cool awesome okay okay and breakout rooms are separate rooms that you can time and assign any number of students into each room okay wow cool yeah that's really useful as well for bigger groups if you teach a group for sure that's very cool see learn something new today okay very nice mm-hmm EG also says breakout rooms divide your students into groups and they can do some tasks separately can you then as a teacher can you uh do you have access to all of those rooms can you see what's going on in the rooms do you have like the power you know to overview to supervise all of the rooms interesting very cool okay yeah I haven't really okay yes Jerome says you can enter any room at any time oh yeah very nice yeah cool that sounds very very useful for group activities and stuff yeah projects very cool okay awesome thanks need to check it out but like I said I only teach one one on one at the moment so and good to know that zoom is only free up to two people up to three people so if you teach more than three people you need to upgrade according to Jerome all right I didn't know that either that's good to know okay good then let's move on to the second one um what I have on my list is Myro so my colleague Lisa who's also who also goes live once a week she usually goes live Tuesdays um she kind of introduced me to Myro I didn't know about Myro before um and I love Myro now so Myro what is Myro it's basically your virtual whiteboard so that's what I said when yeah zoom has a whiteboard feature function but I use Myro actually um basically it's an online collaborative whiteboard platform you can it's used for presentation for sharing you can also embed videos and music and images and anything basically they also offer free weekly webinars because also there's a ton of features and options and it's kind of overwhelming in the beginning so um every week they have free webinars that you can watch to just learn more about Myro and the features and what you can do and yeah it's free to use for up to three boards and I'm just going to show you what that looks like um I'm going to share my screen so you can see what Myro is if you don't know Myro is anybody also using Myro let me know so this is for example my account and I have three boards here I only have a free account so you can have three boards and so let's go into this board this is the board I use for most of my students I wish maybe I'll upgrade in the future but um this is my most used board and so it's huge you have it's so big this is um everything you have access to this whole board and then you can zoom in so for example uh yeah let's just zoom in here that's a good example so this is what I do here this is German but I teach German and English so you can this is for one of my students she um lives in Austria and she wanted to have a lesson about hair like at the hair salon so this is what we did and um so I use this to prepare my class and then uh screen share and then you can also give on zoom remote access and they can actually so I had all the vocabulary down here and then you can actually like you know it's interactive you can do that you can zoom into the pictures you can um types stuff excuse me you can type something you know um you can also create like shapes um you can you have a pen you can underline things that are important you can highlight things you can also create for example like games this is a game I've created for one of my students for a kid and they also have a dice feature I haven't turned that on right now but um yeah for example I made this Disney inspired with like Disney princesses like a board game you know with questions to answer so it's super useful or you can just like you know add any kind of worksheet to it um you can also embed this is like a link from and that's just an image you can also embed youtube videos um or here you can like cover stuff for example with like some little sticky notes so I really like my road that's what I use for my for teaching um because I think it's just so easy to use and then I use screen sharing so this is my rose anybody using my rose well okay Jerome says I've been playing around with and exploring my recently yeah what do you think about it do you like it do you like it hi Luke yeah um you can ask questions today as well actually so if you have a question there will be a Q&A at the end um so yeah but um yeah maybe I'll do a Q&A a whole just asking questions live session next week but feel free to ask questions as well so this is my row I really enjoy my row I like it um I think it's very very useful and also Lisa um my colleague Lisa she actually did a live session explaining how she prepares games and stuff with my row so there'll be a lot more um details in this live session so it looks like this on youtube um check it out it's designing online english lessons with my row so yeah yeah I kind of like it too for sure good so if you want to learn more about my row check out the other live because I'm not going to go too much into depth now um I like it I love using it um and I also learned about it from Lisa from watching this video so I recommend that good next up we have google docs this is also I mean most of you are probably gonna be aware that um for sharing and collaborating on word documents so it is a lot like word microsoft word but web based um I actually only use google docs now I don't even have microsoft word installed on my computer at all I only use web based google docs and google spreadsheets and whatnot um it's perfect for homework assignments so that's what I use it for mostly um I share the links you can share links like I shared the spreadsheet link um and I share that with my students and then they can do the homework and then during class with screen sharing again we can um we can uh correct it together see it together I can make you know edits and because you can see writing and editing in real time so that's why it's really really great in real time you can both once you have the stock open you can see what the other person's doing if they're typing anything if they highlight anything anything like that um yeah you can also create you know and share materials like homework or other um exercises projects whatnot reading um and you can also save anything from there as a word doc or pdf and then share it with your students so um I'm sure all of you probably know kind of what google docs is but um I just wanted to mention that because I use it mostly for my homework and for kind of student feedback or like I write down what we did in that class kind of first we did this second this this this for kind of record keeping and then sharing it with the student um just just things like that yeah okay number four interesting very exciting because um I use this all the time canva canva so what is canva canva is for creating appealing visuals and presentations and actually this presentation those slides I always make them in canva I love canva and also because I am a content creator and a blogger I use canva for that as well um but it's also super awesome for teachers so it's a web based graphic design platform they also have a free version there is a pro version that has a lot more like features and lets you use like more pro stuff I guess um but for the regular person a free account is totally enough they also have a lot of templates I'm going to show you that also in a minute um and it just allows you to create visual content of all kind um so you can make teaching materials for your students for example so um for example on my row let me just go back here to my my row board um this what I just showed you actually this I made this in canva so I found this board on google and then I added my own questions with canva here it was a blank board and I added these in and also the go back spaces I added that in on canva for example yeah so you can make teaching materials for your students homework um any kind of other visuals and um you could also make social media content to market yourself as a teacher if you you know want to go um if you want to teach independently you have your own teaching website or your own you know you just want to spread the word about yourself you can also create stuff like that um joe is asking how long have you been using canva honestly probably five years or more um I really like canva um I also have a pro account you can save um you know it's like a they have a branding section in the pro account where you can save your logo and your brand colors and brand fonts and stuff like that so I use that because of that um so yeah let me just show you actually I can just do it this way yeah so this is canva and like I said this presentation I always also make in canva and you have a lot of templates you can choose from for example so and some of this will be in korean because I am in korea so they just recently kind of I think added that um so maybe wherever you are other languages might show up as well but yeah so this is a presentation uh you can also or just let me share the other one hold on let me share one second this yeah so this is what it looks like and basically it will ask you what will you design so literally you can pick anything from presentations from instagram posts logos stories a four documents business cards posters flies anything you can design so um oh and I actually typed in so you can also yeah okay good it's still in here you can also search for keywords so for example I put in teaching online and then you can get some inspiration or templates so this is something you can use you know for your uh for your marketing for example see this so you can then if you're like oh I like this and also the dimension the format this is really nice so online class let's learn together you can edit all of this so online class and then you could you know with miss I call myself miss linda and I teach oh you can't see that oh why can't you see that oh I'm sharing the wrong one oh no oh okay hold on one second I didn't know it would do that too many screens for sharing here okay I think it's this one let me check yes okay so this is the template and then you can edit anything you can change any color you know anything you can change here you can also search for elements you can search for different pictures for example here photos you can all search for something these are trending so we can do this one instead for example yeah so um literally anything yes juliana says I use that for creating my newsletter yeah you can use canva for anything you can resize you can make it oh I need a facebook cover or I need you know I want to make a facebook post or a logo or instagram story so it will have all of the dimensions that you need already and if we click for example on instagram story um you can then see templates for stories oh this is cute and then you can just edit it you know with your own text with your own colors and everything so I really like canva for that reason and like I said my presentations that I always do on these live sessions they're all made with canva like this one that we're looking right now and then I just do present and it opens up bigger yeah so I love canva I use it pretty much every day honestly joey says I use canva to make an activity called an english pit stop this is a five to ten minute activity for reviewing materials students had difficulty with and or need additional practice with it can be anything from basic math to vocabulary yeah cool so yeah you can use canva to create activities to create visual anything literally social media posts um it's just great so and then you can save this in any kind of format you want you can save it as a video you can save it as pdf png jpeg you can directly share it onto your social medias you can link your social accounts to canva um you can also connect instagram with canva and then you can use your instagram photos in your canva account so that's really really good I love canva highly recommend it not only for teaching but also social I'm a social media marketing person so canva is a must a must good okay next up we have callen lee and this is also something I have not yet used but I will be using in the future but I hear a lot about okay there's one more question about canva so let me answer that real quick Jerome asks it seems more useful than powerpoint for presentations in teaching esol do you know if there's a limit to number of designs for the free account so with a free account you're just more limited in terms of you know what kind of templates you can use or there will be like pro templates and like some of the photos um are pro photos or like the shapes you can use but with a free account you can use you can do a lot of things um so I think a free account just for doing presentations is totally enough totally enough yeah and with the pro I think also the resize option so if you create one uh for example you do an insta story or you do an insta a facebook post format and then you want to resize that to a insta story with the pro it resizes it automatically but if you don't have the pro you need to kind of do more work for resizing that yourself um copy pasting from one to another but um just for doing presentations like the basic stuff a free account is totally um enough totally enough I had a free account for the first couple of years and then I got the pro account because I just needed those more those pro features for what I needed to do with also my website and stuff so yeah okay all right then let's move on to what I just mentioned Calendly um so what is Calendly it is basically a tool for scheduling classes so as you can see here basically it keeps track of your teaching schedule so if you this is especially perfect for when you work for different online companies so you can add all of your um classes uh into this one calendar and you have everything in one view you can also um add this to your own website so you can embed this on your website and then people will have the option to book your time slots so students can easily book your classes this way um you basically add your free time slots and they the students can then go ahead and book that so here as you can see um very simple not much uh to really explain about that but um it just kind of keeps everything in one place and it's just great if you uh you know for independent teachers if you're creating your own website um you want to go away from teaching platforms um because there are some pros and cons you know for working with teaching platforms obviously those teaching platforms they do um they do take a cut a pay cut from your salary so if you want to avoid that and you know if there's any minimum hours or anything that you're not happy with a lot of teachers then start going down the independent teaching route that's when you're going to need your marketing tools to market your own classes to market yourself as a teacher um and then Calendly is very useful so that you know students can just book your classes this way that's why I would recommend Calendly so yeah might not be an option or something that everybody needs um here but definitely if you are you know looking into teaching uh away from any platforms you should get Calendly and it is free so um you might as well have that or also just for yourself so you have all of your um classes if you're teaching on multiple platforms so you have all of your classes in one place yeah definitely useful for that um then let's have a look at we transfer uh probably most of you might already know this too this is a great free tool for sending files it's a web based file transfer service and it's perfect for sending large files so really really big files like video files or uh like music or like a large folder of files because usually you can't send those over email or anything um or you don't want to have that in your dropbox you don't want to have that in your um drive you just want to get it away to the person you want to send it to you don't want to have it saved in your take up space in your drive or in your cloud um then you can use we transfer so you just upload your files and then you enter the email address of the person you want to send it to and then they send it to you and yeah with the free one you can send up to two oh up to two gigabytes of stuff there's no registration either so you just need to put in your email address and I think they send you a confirmation email with like a code you put the code in and then you can send that without registration it's completely free up to two gigabytes as well so I use that a lot as well we use that at ITTT whenever some of you might have sent us a um video testimonial we always ask you to send it via we transfer uh so some of you might have done it in the past and send it to us so yeah if you have any large files you need to send we transfer is really really useful for that then we have number seven at modo and this is also something I have not personally used yet so if any one of you has have has used it let me know in the comments I'm very curious but I know a lot of people who are using it um and this is especially great for larger classes so I just teach private students one-on-one so I don't really felt a need to have this but it's basically great for sharing content with your students and as you can see on this picture it looks a lot like Facebook right it looks it reminds it just looks like Facebook let's just say it looks like Facebook um so basically it's a Facebook for uh the teacher and their students right so you can connect it connects students and teachers just like a social network just like Facebook let's just say it you can also set assignments you can share resources you can share homework on there I think you can also make polls ask questions to your students you can make groups you know like per class every class has their own separate group then on this platform um you can also test students you can give them quizzes and tests and you can also track um the students progress so um yeah I think this is especially great for teachers who teach larger classes uh groups of students if you only have private students I don't think or like you teach one-on-one I don't think one-on-one I don't think this is super necessary but as you can see here on the side it says groups so here are all the different classes students that you have and this would be the teacher profile and yeah here assignment quiz poll snapshot anything you can do so yeah if you teach uh more than one person or like a class then I recommend that and it's free yeah Juliana says it looks like my teaching portal cool yeah I think yeah a lot of these are modeled you know after Facebook I think because it's just everybody knows how to use it it's very user friendly and um just feels natural so yeah just wanted to mention that um might be useful for some people here then number eight we have loop so what is loop loop is great for student feedback it's a student feedback app and also works on desktop on a website so with loop you can get student feedback instantly you can receive student feedback right after your class they say it takes 30 seconds to take to get student feedback then now you're probably thinking like why should I bother with you know something like this but it's actually a great way to understand your teaching impact because it has the anonymity functionality so the your students are going to give you feedback anonymously they're going to feedback you anonymously and that's why um it's very useful because you really can get their honest opinions you know what they really think about your class and then you can make immediate changes in the classroom to support student learning and then to improve your teaching style oh to improve your teaching style and um yeah just figure out you know if because sometimes I feel like we think oh yeah you know my class is great I think the students are learning it's going well but in reality maybe the students think very differently and vice versa as well maybe sometimes you think oh today's class was not good or oh I don't think my students really enjoy this class but then you get really really great feedback and then you're like oh actually maybe I am a good teacher and I am doing a good job sometimes that's that can happen as well we sometimes feel insecure right as teachers as well so yeah loop is great for that to get feedback it's super super fast and for free and I think feedback is just something that's very important because it can definitely change your classes um boost also it can boost um your um your confidence in the classroom and it can also help you improve your teaching style and you know make it better for your students so yeah check out loop for feedback good we're almost through now so let me talk about the next one and this is one I also did not know before but I actually signed up for this teacher ru teacher ru what is teacher ru it's an online teacher community so this is only for teachers so it says it's a dedicated friendly space for teachers everywhere to connect share ideas and browse thousands of free resources so yeah you can browse resources you can share resources with other teachers which is always great you know I spend so many hours planning for lessons that's something like this is just so useful helpful you can support each other you share something they share something you can all use it together um so that is definitely great and time saving uh I think prepping classes you know takes the most time and with if you're teaching on a teaching platform where you have to prep your own classes the prepping time is not paid it's only the actual teaching time that obviously is paid so the less time you need to prep your classes the better because you're not getting paid for it so yeah on this you teachers they share posts and ideas and links to things and you know exercises and all this kind of stuff you can also stream live video from your teacher ru profile so or you can watch other people's live videos if they share you know something that they did they did a super awesome activity today and they share how it went and how you can do it in your classroom I mean great you can also follow and chat with like-minded educators and also join groups so there would be groups for different kinds of um you know subjects that you're teaching there would be an esl group there would be a french class there would be a spanish group there'd be a math group or whatever and um so yeah I think that's that's something really good and I'm excited to explore this more like I said I signed up um and I'm liking it so far so if any one of you is on teacher ru let me know and then I'll follow you or let me share my my profile we can all follow each other on there but yeah I think stuff like that oh I need to log in again oh I do I can't do that right now I think anyway I think my handle is lindegos east so if you're on teacher ru and you type in lindegos east you'll find me there and then follow me and I'll follow you back I would love to explore this platform more especially with you guys so maybe we can do this all together but have you heard about teacher ru before and have you used it let me know in the comments let me know real quick I'm very curious to know because I think this is really great that's a great idea whoever created this really really good job so no no one no problem maybe yeah like I said maybe you can sign up and then you can find me on there and we can follow each other then uh let's move on to number 10 the last tool that I'm mentioning today there will be a bonus tool um but this is uh the last one so Pinterest I already mentioned Pinterest a little bit um but Pinterest if you didn't know um is a great it's a social media basically it has kind of involved into a search engine so a lot of people they go to Pinterest and type in search terms and it's great for shopping um it's just a picture based um social media platform so for inspiration and then you can save these images in little folders they call them boards you pin a pin onto a board um and you save everything you save all of your ideas in one place and teachers how can teachers use this for lesson planning material so as you can see in my example here I just typed in simple past worksheet and there's a plethora of different worksheets that I can use I can save um so yeah and more inspiration so for example for kids regular verbs simple present and simple past it gives you a lot of ideas for activities and you can build your lesson planning around that you can also share your best boards with your students for example oh for example for example you can make a board for your class and then maybe if you're just doing simple past at the moment in your class you can add some worksheets in there that they can maybe do in their free time or you want them to pick two or three and do it for homework or something like that you can use it for that as well you could also use Pinterest for clever classroom design there's a lot of design stuff on there for classroom design and things like that for themes um Pinterest is really really really good for that um you just type in whatever you're looking for like classroom or back to school classroom ideas or something like that and so much will show up as well as so many worksheets and poster ideas posters for like the classroom as well so there's posters of like you know um like especially for ESL posters how to say like that the classroom rules something like that we raise our hand um we listen carefully we sit nicely and things like that there's posters um there's also really good ideas for activities uh you know anything that you can then make yourself or print out and have your students do so Pinterest is really great I know that it's been around for many many years and it started out for just like you know saving pretty pictures but now it's really a huge platform and especially ESL is huge on Pinterest so if you haven't checked that out yet I highly recommend it literally you can put any topic in the search bar anything and it'll spit out so many ideas that you can then use and it saves you a lot of time for your lesson planning which is what we're all here for like I said you're not most of the time you're not getting paid for lesson planning when it comes to online teaching so yeah you want to do it as quickly and as efficiently as possible okay and um yeah I know you already saw the bonus one which is PayPal which is like you're probably like okay we already know about PayPal but um yeah if you don't have a PayPal account you should probably get one and set one up if you're teaching online because most online teaching platforms they pay via PayPal that's just how it is because it's international it's around all all around the world for receiving payments so you can receive payments from around the world within seconds and also if you teach independently you know your students they can easily also pay via PayPal if you're not working for a platform your students are most likely going to have PayPal and be familiar with it so that's usually a really good way of payment if you are not in the same country or in the same place but just keep in mind that receiving money from outside of your country then PayPal will charge a small transaction fee this depends from country to country and also where your own PayPal account is registered in so it just always depends but usually the fees are very small and just PayPal continues to be very very efficient for online teachers to receive payments so just wanted to throw it out there at the end as sort of like a bonus um but yeah it's nothing new for most of you probably but oh and also maybe you didn't know that you can actually create a pay me I think it's pay me link PayPal me pay me I think it's called pay me link so I can just share a link with your student and then they click on the link and then they can select the amount they want to send you so it's also very efficient it's it's in the settings somewhere um you or you just google it I think it's pay me a PayPal pay me link or something and then you can I think even make your own custom link name so you can do like I don't know Juliana Huang teacher or something as your PayPal address for example so yeah there you have it 10 free tools and software that are super useful for online teachers um this is the end of this presentation now today's topic I hope you enjoyed it you learned something new I know some of the ones that I mentioned you probably all have heard of already and knew about but um those are just really the things that I as a teacher also use you know with PayPal and everything every online teacher pretty much uses those so they need to be on this list especially for people who are completely new to this um yeah find ittt online again if you're not yet Teflor T so certified do make use of that 30% off discount and I am going to share the link again into the comments so you can use that to get your discount and your lifetime job support with ittt we help you find jobs teaching English abroad and also online so um yeah and now is your time to shine and to ask questions if you have any um thank you so much for your feedback Jerome Jerome says I learned of several new tools and sites so thank you very much yeah thank you so much as well for sticking on to the end you really watched the whole thing Jerome thank you so much I appreciate that um that's very rewarding oh Pinterest did you think Pinterest was interesting yeah I think I feel like yeah I don't know Pinterest um most people if they haven't used Pinterest yet they just think oh it's like it's just you save pretty pictures but it's actually so useful for teachers it's one of the first things I always go to when I look for teaching material so definitely definitely useful for sure so yeah and which which um of the tools did you find the most interesting today let me know which of the tools did you find um the most interesting and you're definitely going to use after this so Jerome is going to use Pinterest a lot more after this what about you guys which one are you excited about using so I'm excited about using teacher rule actually um like I said I didn't know about it before but I signed up um and I'm really liking it so far I think it's really cool to connect with other teachers um to share ideas so um yeah which which one did you find particularly interesting and useful and are going to use in your teaching let me know oh yeah Luke canva yeah definitely I love canva so much so much and Luke I saw that you posted a question earlier so I'm going to get back to that since you're still here I was hoping you were still be you would still be here I'm going to answer that in just a minute um I didn't forget it I didn't overlook it so just bear with me one more minute and then I'm going to get back to that all right EG says I'm planning to check out my row in teacher rule as well cool so if you're in teacher rule find Linda goes east and add me follow me and I'll follow you back they do look interesting yeah also my row I really like that yeah Juliana Juliana wants to try my row and teacher rule awesome I think those are the best ones as well yeah my row and teacher rule okay cool what about the other other watchers viewers which ones did you find interesting I think also this list of of 10 tools is a good mix between you know the necessary tools that you need to have like PayPal and the Calendly and things like that like Google Docs and then the more like fun ones that you can use for your students and definitely those are my favorites as well as like my row and canva and and teacher rule yeah for sure okay good well thank you so much guys for your feedback and I hope everybody's going to have a lot of fun checking out those tools and now if you have any other questions I'm still going to be on just a little bit longer to make sure I answer any of your other questions that you might have so Luke had a question in the beginning and he's still there and was bearing with me so thank you so much for that Luke so this is Luke's question I was just wondering with this whole pandemic thing with COVID if vaccines will be mandated for teaching I know you might not know the specifics but I was just wondering if you knew something um I think it's still a little bit too early to really say anything so as of now I don't think there are any any rules or laws put in place from schools or governments that mandate their teachers to be vaccinated I don't think I haven't heard of anything but what I can tell you here in South Korea teachers were among the earlier groups who got vaccinated so they definitely want to make sure teachers are vaccinated and yeah I mean I haven't heard of anything you know that it's a requirement but obviously a lot of countries have changed regulations to where if you are vaccinated you can skip quarantine and I can imagine that for schools who hire teachers from abroad if they can avoid having their new teacher be stuck in quarantine that's something that they probably prefer so you know take with that what you will so yeah can't really say anything I think it's still too early because also different countries they are in a different journey in terms of vaccinating at the moment um there are no rules for that so yeah but um you know schools abroad are still hiring you can still go abroad and teach there are no restrictions for that so yeah all right hi Marcia Marcia says hi Linda I couldn't see the whole live so I'll watch it later I use usually use Pinterest awesome yeah hi okay yeah yeah I see that for sure a lot of people are hesitant yeah sure but what I'm saying is you know a lot of employers if they hire teachers from abroad and uh vaccinated people can skip quarantine do you think the school would rather hire you know someone who needs to be stuck in quarantine for two weeks or someone who can skip quarantine and start working earlier I don't I don't know that's I think how a lot of schools especially in Korea probably think you know but um yeah I don't think it's too much of a problem it's still I can't really speak to that so it's just my opinion I think it's still too early to see anything but um yeah good does anybody have any other questions before I go love to answer them yeah I could come two weeks earlier to be ready when I start yes you could definitely definitely so I mean that's just my opinion um yeah I don't think it's much of a problem though you know we'll just have to wait and see for sure there's no uh law at the moment where they only hire vaccinated teachers now just nothing like that right now all right Marcia I use Pinterest to get some extra material because here in Chile we have textbooks to teach not so good but we have to use them yeah I mean sure I think it's good to maybe not only use the textbooks and then also like what you're doing add some additional material like some something fun because usually textbook stuff let's be honest is not that fun so yeah all right I think I might take one more question and then I'm going to sign up for today this session was already very long today but I loved it and I'm glad that you guys also learned something fun today and um yeah let's all meet on teacheroo oh my pronunciation vaccinated vaccinated oh no that's how I say it vaccinated vaccinated is that vaccineed it's vaccinated though I'm pretty sure all right good um I just want to repeat that we are live every week so me once a week and then my colleague Lisa once a week so also do check her out especially if you are a non-native English speaker um she is a non-native English teacher from Russia she taught English in China she's teaching English online she's back in Russia now she has a lot of great ideas she knows a lot more about actually online teaching than I do so do check her out I only started teaching online this year in March um and I just I learned a lot from her actually so that's why I said um check out our playlist she did a lot of previous live sessions about uh different platforms and my row she did a lot about my row um yeah so do check her out check out our playlist browse the previous sessions and then I hope I'll see you all again next week um I'm gonna see what I'm gonna talk about next week I don't know yet usually um I think about that on Monday or Tuesday what I'm gonna think about what I'm gonna talk about on Friday so but if you have any suggestions as always feel free to let me know you can comment below or you can also just send me a message Instagram at Linda goes east and let me know what you want me to talk about next if you have any wishes I'm always open to take to taking suggestions um so yeah thank you so much for watching I saw that so many of you stayed all the way until the end I so appreciate that um I know it's a long session it always goes by so fast for me um I don't know how it is for you but um it goes by really quick but um yeah I hope you're gonna have a super duper awesome weekend um and I will see you again next week hopefully um I love seeing all of these regular faces and new faces I appreciate you and um thanks so much for watching again don't forget to like and subscribe so you don't miss any of our future

Seems like whether or not you hate or love the season's feature in NBA 2K22 is resulting in a lot of brand new content. Well, season 3 is around the corner on December 3rd, so 2K decided to unveil to us all that is season 3. Also, 2K dropped a patch that's changing the way that the game is played dramatically. So, we gotta jump into all of it, ladies and gentlemen. If y'all new to the channel, be sure to subscribe! Drop a like on the video. Let's try and get this video to 15,000 likes. Let's get into it! Okay, so they first dropped this tweet here saying, season 3 iced out is almost here! Showcase your clutch gene like Dame in our coldest season yet, with new game modes and rewards. New game modes and rewards, that's what I like to hear. If every NBA 2K game has a cover athlete, Dameya Lillard is like the season athlete. I guess for this one. You're gonna notice there's a lot of like ice cold and shooting from crazy deep limitless range. You're gonna notice the theme here. Well, first of all, 2K is showing us how they've redecorated the city and the boats on current Gen 2. Be a little bit more festive, so they put a whole bunch of trees and lights everywhere to fit the season. This is what the court looks like on current Gen. In my opinion, it gives me a little bit of NBA 2K 18-5s. I don't like how great it is, but it only lasts for a season, so I guess you can stomach it. 2K jumps right into it and starts talking about some of the events that's gonna be dropping in season 3. The first one they talk about here is called fire and ice. It basically speeds up the rate at which you earn the takeover perk. They say though, with every point scored, the takeover will begin a timed cooldown. Not opposed to it, seems like an interesting event. On current Gen, there's gonna be 12 days of Xmas, where if you visit the tree, you can get a suite of different... They're arguing useful rewards, so might as well. It's free. Why not? So after those 12 days are complete, 2K is saying there's gonna be events at the finale of those 12 days called Dunk the Halls event. In this event, if you're a high level player and you play with a low level player, your team gets double XP. I think some y'all probably gonna cheat and just make new accounts, but it's a good effort from 2K to try and unite the community to play some more games together. They drop some more screenshots here. This looks cool. I just like, there's nothing else to say about it. Northern Lights, you're playing in like the Arctic, I imagine. They say on PS4, Xbox One Switch, and PC, season 3 sees the boat charting of course to frigid waters. So that's the next stop in your cruise. If for whatever reason you wanted to take a cruise in the blistering cold, you can do that now in the V8 2K22. They say that for 30 minutes, you can look up into the starry night sky and see the spectacle for yourself. I guess the Northern Lights isn't gonna be permanently on. I guess they're looking for reasons to get you to want to hop on. Like, yo, the Northern Lights are coming on. Josh, hop on, let's play some twos. I don't know who the f*** would say that, but that's their goal. They want people to say that. So we referenced the new modes that 2K was talking about on the tweet earlier. They begin to talk about that here. I hate that it's a single player mode in an otherwise very multiplayer city. The premise goes like this. Convince skeptical street ballers to join your team by beating them on your own turf. I guess you win enough for those games and then you have like a city slam game. And you're supposed to earn rewards. 2K says you get a championship belt. And the whole purpose, I guess, of this event is that it's done on rooftop. So it'll be very scenic because, I mean, one last time we played on a rooftop outside of 3V3 Prime. It had to have been like 2K16, right? So it was the return of some more rooftop gameplay in NBA 2K22, except this time it's single player. So there's actually been some criticism towards 2K and some controversy in general about leveling up to level 40 in this season's meta. And some people were unhappy with how easy it was. Others just unhappy with how challenging it is. It seems that nobody is like fully like on board with the way that you progress and level up in the seasons in NBA 2K22. 2K is looking to address some of those concerns here. They say we want to address a change we're making to the way double XP coins work in 2K22 seasons. Starting at the beginning of season three, your 2XP coins will not transfer from season two. That sucks. They say we believe this will improve the season to season experience and competitive balance. 2XP coins will now remain tied to the season they were acquired in. So I guess they're aiming to make it a little bit more challenging for people to hit level 40. Again, if you remember, they said if you hit level 40 in four seasons, then you get legend. So they have, I guess, truncated the legend race that we're so used to into different parts, almost like a relay. So instead of doing 400 meter race, they're doing 400 meter relay where each leg of the race is just 100 meter. I mean, I guess a lot of people, a lot of the try-hards in the community dislike this method. But it's the method that we have for 2K22 and 2K is looking to make some adjustments to hopefully they say add some competitive balance. And then they begin talking about the fresh new rewards. They didn't detail all the new rewards that will be dropped in season three as you level up to level 40. But they show off some of the skins here. This is the iced out skin. They make a lot of reference to this in the article. Again, here we have the season athlete Damien Lillard. You see his arms is ice cold. This is actually the level 40 reward and it's animated. So I guess if you've enjoyed the skeletons in season two, you might enjoy this animated skin here. I mean, I guess as long as it looks cool and people feel like it's worth grinding for. I feel like something functional beyond just aesthetics would be a good switch up from the last season. But what do I know? They also say that the level 30 reward differs from current gen to next gen. Next gen is going to earn gliders while current gen earns a BMX bike with lightning. So that's a steep fall off. I guess if you're on next gen, this is a W for you. They also say there's some prizes. If you win here 100 wins at the wreck, you get a helmet and 103 V3 games and you get a suit. I guess incentivizing you to play all factions of the game, not just one. And then they jump into the my team stuff, which for the most part I usually don't cover. But for the purposes of this video, they actually have a cool mode. They added to my team called clutch time. It's heavily revolved around Damien Lillard, the season athlete, but a lot like how they've had in some park events in the past. They have a four point line now in my team. And the whole mode is centered around just faster paced gameplay. The shot clock is quicker. If you make it into overtime, it's sudden death. The first person who scores wins. There's no substitutions. The five players you bring on is the five players you play with. And when you enter the final two minutes of the game, no matter how many fouls you and the other team has, you guys are both in the bonus. So I like it. It's a good switch up. 2K is really flexing their creativity with this one. Hopefully my team guys enjoy it. Y'all gonna have to let me know if you think this is worth playing. If I was in my team head, I'd definitely try it out. So then I love when 2K does things like this. I wish they did it a lot more. They say you can earn a lot of rewards in this different mode. There's 50 different rewards and you're climbing a ladder. Each game you win, you get to the next level. But if for whatever reason you lose three games in a row, you have to reset. It is sucked that 2K servers are so bad. Sometimes you just lag out and that's going to count as a loss. But assuming the servers keep up and you guys can play your game with no lag and no issues. I love this right here. My team is getting a Dame signature challenge. If you're into Dame signature challenges, then why not man? Go ahead and play it. And then they talk a little bit about updates to the W online, which I'm not gonna lie. I read it over a couple times and it sounds like they didn't add much of anything. They just had to include it here, I guess for the purposes of. And then the final thing they talk about as it relates to season three updates is the new artists that they're dropping. They say there's a combination of up-and-coming artists and established artists. And the list of 10 songs is here. In my opinion, why not just play Spotify in the background? But if you are the type of person to keep on game music, then you should be excited to know that there's new music in the game. Well, 2K didn't stop there because immediately after they posted all the season three updates, they followed up with this tweet here saying, Our latest patch is live on new gen and current gen with many updates, including the preparation for season three, gameplay fixes, player likeness updates, and more. So this is actually, at least for me, where it begins getting exciting because 2K adding a bunch of new content is fantastic. It gives me a reason to want to hop on. And maybe I could convince some of my friends to finally play the game. So 2K gets right to the punch with the current gen patch update 1.8. This one is huge. They slowed down lateral dribble launches and added a shooting penalty that applies for players who zigzag from side to side excessively before shooting. The metrics at which they decide someone is zigzagging excessively, I don't know. But this is obviously a clear attack on the play shots who zigzag nonstop. And this happens on current gen and there's no stopping it. No matter what game you play, it's zigzagging, boost, zigzag, boost. 2K is saying here that they're looking to do something about that. The guys who do do it, you should be highly upset right now. I'm not gonna lie. Because you're probably gonna have to start dribbling like me. And that's tough for you. They say they fixed an issue that was causing ball handlers to hitch and slow down while running in transition. We all know about this. So hopefully when they say they fixed the issue, they fixed the issue. And they say they adjusted the Intimidator Badge to apply to jump shots in addition to dunks and layups. Intimidator Badge was an all-time badge in previous 2Ks this year. Not as useful. So I guess a buff here to the Intimidator Badge hoping that more people equip and use it. So those are the current gen updates. Now to the next gen updates. So 2K did the same zigzag nerfs on next gen they're saying. They fixed the same hitch when running in transition for next gen as well. Same update to the Intimidator Badge as well. But now they begin citing some new gameplay changes. They say defensive positioning logic improvements have been made to help CPU screen defenders guard the pick and roll more effectively. They also cite stability and performance improvements for the 40th time on these patch notes to the city. So I'll hop on. We'll see if there are any improvements or if it just continues to deteriorate. So between those two updates a lot should change. The meta of 2K was just play shots, zigzag, zigzag, and zigzag some more. While it's exciting to have a fast paced game, there has to be more than one fast paced move. Everyone's doing the same thing and it requires very little skill to pull off. Well, it's not much of a move than is it? So I will see how this plays out. There have been 2Ks in years past where 2K nerfed a very overpowered move and the community disliked it. The sentiment was instead of removing the one good move, why don't you add more good moves so that it's not just a suite of different bad moves that we have to choose from? We'll have to wait days to see how the dribbling community reacts to the changes that were made because they'll inevitably either come up with a new way to do something just as effective. Maybe it'll improve the gameplay. Maybe we'll see a little bit more parody and variety when we're hopping in from game to game. But it also means that people who've created builds specifically to take advantage of the zigzag might be out of luck. I mean the patch notes look promising but we have to hop on the game and see how it's actually going to play out. I imagine this is going to be a pretty controversial update just due to the fact that a lot has changed. The hope is that three months from now it'll be like the game is better as a result. But who knows? It's an NBA 2K update. There's no knowing for sure. Just off the initial reactions I'm seeing on Twitter it's very split. Some people believe that the gameplay feels way too slow and others believe that it provided some balance to the game so it was necessary. But no matter which way you land, I know for a fact that we can all agree you need to smash that like button, man. Of course you do. Drop a like. Yeah. Okay, I'm joking. My fault, guys. I'm going to hop on later tonight because I'm on a trip tomorrow so I don't really have much time but I want to experience it for myself. See if it has truly ruined and or made the game great again. On that note, if y'all want to catch me on stream, click the link in the description is twitch.tv slash call me agent 00. Otherwise, there's a video right here where some tiktokers drop some gems on NBA 2K22 that you don't want to miss out on. Catch you guys in the next one. Peace.

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session, we discussed the following question which says the volume of a block of gold is 1 meter cube. If it is hammered into a sheet to cover an area of 1000 meter square, find the thickness of the sheet. Before moving on to the solution, let's recall the formula for the volume of a cuboid. This is equal to L into B into H or we can also say this is equal to area of the base of the cuboid into H. L is the length of the cuboid, B is the width of the cuboid, H is the height of the cuboid and we have the area of the base of the cuboid is equal to length into width of the cuboid. This is the key idea for this question. Let's move on to the solution. We are given the volume of the block of gold is equal to 1 meters cube. Block of gold is cuboidal in shape so this means that the length into width into height of the block of gold is equal to 1 meter cube. We are given that the block of the gold is hammered into a sheet and we have the area of the sheet is equal to 1000 meter square. Now since L into B into H is equal to 1 meter cube so this means that area into H is equal to 1 meter cube. Now we have the area of the sheet is 1000 meter square so 1000 meter square into H is equal to 1 meter cube. Now this gives us H is equal to 1 meter cube upon 1000 meter square. This is equal to 0.001 meters. Here this H is the thickness of the sheet so we get thickness of the sheet is equal to 0.001 meters. Hence our final answer is 0.001 meters. So this completes the session. Hope you have understood the solution for this question.

Macron’s Authoritarian Turn Drives Turnout in the Streets - Part 3

Recent weeks have seen massive protests across France, bringing to a close a year that was turbulent even by French political standards. In this interview, Season in Hell editor Ethan Earle discusses Islamophobia and anti-racism, the growing powers of the security state and the rising voices of people in the streets.

Starting with French President Emmanuel Macron's repression of the Yellow Vest uprising in 2018 and 2019 and deepening this year with ongoing repression of dissent and protest and culminating in two recent pieces of proposed legislation, one of which would grant extraordinary new powers to law enforcement and the other of which is seen by many as targeting Muslims who make up 8% of France's population, we have seen an authoritarian turn from Macron and from his government. Here I think it's worthwhile to understand, to remember that before becoming president, Macron had never actually held elected office. He was by most accounts a brilliant technocrat and a charismatic figure, but he had limited experience with the art of doing politics. His neither left nor right 2017 campaign mantra was successful at the polls, but afterwards it begged the question, if neither left nor right, then what are you for? And to this Macron has had little to no answer, nor does he have a strong basis or aptitude for building consensus. With his approval ratings permanently mired in the 30s and the unruly masses unwilling to concede when he makes his regular concessions to the right, Macron has increasingly adopted an authoritarian outlook on what it means to govern France. I would argue that we saw this shift from 2018, late 2018 onward, but that Macron is also here drawing on a much longer history in French politics, which successfully leapfrogged the French Revolution through the figures of Louis XIV on one side and Napoleon on the other, and which persists to this day in the collective political imaginary. To those unruly masses, Macron now increasingly attempts to respond, I am the decider, I am your sun king.

Proactive Regulation of Lawyers: Proof and Possibilities

The 23rd Annual FB Wickwire Memorial Lecture in Professional Responsibility and Legal Ethics presented by Susan Saab Fortney, Howard Lichtenstein Distinguished Professor of Legal Ethics, Maurice A Deane School of Law, Hofstra University. March 6, 2014 Co-sponsored with the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society. Legislators in the state of New South Wales (NSW) in Australia took the pioneering step of including the concept of "ethical infrastructure" in the statute allowing legal practitioners to incorporate their law practices, with no restrictions on non-lawyer ownership. The legislation requires that incorporated firms appoint a director to ensure that the firm implement and maintain "appropriate management systems" to enable the provision of legal services in accordance with obligations imposed by law. To guide firms in complying with the statutory requirements, the Legal Services Commissioner for NSW worked with various stakeholders to develop "ten objectives of sound legal practice." The Commissioner also devised an "education toward compliance" approach requiring the firm to complete a self-assessment process that covers the firm's compliance with the each of the ten objectives. Because this approach focuses on prevention and mitigation, the NSW program is considered to be a form of "proactive, management based regulation." In the Wickwire lecture, Professor Susan Fortney, the Howard Lichtenstein Distinguished Professor of Legal Ethics at Maurice Deane School of Law at Hofstra University in New York, will discuss the Australian experience and research that revealed that management-based regulation dramatically reduced the number of complaints involving incorporated firms. She will also review her study findings related to the other effects of the self-assessment process. Based on data from her study, Professor Fortney will share recommendations for designing a management-based regulatory regime and possibilities for integrating management-based approaches into lawyer regulation.

Good afternoon. I always enjoy the WICWIRE lecture. It's a nice opportunity to find ourselves among friends. Welcome to the Schulman School of Law and Kim Brooks, the dean here at the faculty. We're pleased that you're able to join us this afternoon and that we're co-hosting this year's FB WICWIRE Memorial Lecture in Professional Responsibility and Legal Ethics with the Nova Scotia Barrister Society. This lecture is named in honor of Ted WICWIRE. He received his LOB here in 1962. The lecture honors a man who worked tirelessly to ensure that lawyers maintained a level of uncompromised professionalism. We're fittingly proud of his contributions to the legal academy, the university, and the profession. All the better that we have an excuse to do this lecture in combination with our friends at the Nova Scotia Barrister Society. This lecture reflects part of a rich, ongoing relationship between the school and the society. Speaking for the school, that relationship is one that enhances the richness of our program in people and that informs our daily understanding of law, legal education, and the legal profession. Finally, let me say I'm proud to have a lecture that focuses on professional responsibility and legal ethics here at the law school. We house the leading scholars on legal ethics in this country, dare I say, around the world with the exception of today's speaker. We're prepared to have one stray outside of the school. Our students have had a required course in this topic for years and discussed issues of ethics and professionalism pervasively in their time here at the school. Let me turn the floor over to my fabulous colleague, Richard Devlin, who will say a few words of welcome and introduction to the rest of you. Please enjoy. So it's pretty obvious that Kim is on some cold medication when she used the word fabulous associated with my name. So I think it's only cold medication. So I've been invited to introduce our guest today and the initiative is meant to be Jocelyn, but Jocelyn's got a poor voice at the moment. So she's asked me what I do and I'm delighted to have this opportunity. The only problem is that our guest has a 21 page resume. Which sometimes looks like some of the resumes I think some of the students submit for their law firm applications. So the question is, what do I pick from this? So I'm going to just pick a few highlights from your resume. It might take us all afternoon. But the basic background is that Professor Fortney has her Masters of Laws from Columbia. Then she liked the Academy so much when she went on to do her doctorate again at Columbia. Having sort of succeeded at Columbia she went off to Texas Tech University starting off as an assistant professor and then moving her way up over a 10 year period to being the interim dean for a year. She may have got wise on the virtues of deaning and didn't go for it full time. You'll see there's a little gap between Susan and him here. And as that leaves Texas to become the hard Lichtenstein Distinguished Professor of Legal Ethics and the Director of the Institute for Legal Study of Legal Ethics at Hofstra University in New York which is why she's so close to Halifax. And this is her destiny always to end up in Halifax. I could sort of add a few other things. She has three books and some of this may be of particular interest to those who are currently in practice. The first one is Legal Malpractice Law. So Problems and Most Importantly Prevention. So clearly a proactive thinker. Secondly, a Concisory Statement of the Law of Governing Lawyers. And then thirdly, I thought this one is very interesting. In pursuit of attorney work-life balance. And it's not fictional. It's actually a real boot, guys. So best practices for management. So starting something to look forward to. There is a long list of honors and awards both as a researcher and as a teacher. She has, I know, taught 19 different courses. I'm trying to imagine Kim trying to talk my colleagues and myself into teaching one new course per year. So over the course of the year she's teaching 19 different courses. So clearly a scholar, a researcher, a teacher who has much to share with us. And will today talk about management-based regulation of law firms, proof, and possibilities. Susan Fortman. Thank you. I appreciate it. Well, I appreciate that kind, generous introduction. I am absolutely honored to be here this afternoon. And to deliver this Wickwire lecture that's named in recognition of Ted. I saw it was Frederick, but now I know it's Ted Wickwire. And reading his background, I was impressed that not only did he serve the Barrister Society, but he also was a dedicated community servant connected to the law school. And also someone that was instrumental here with the Legal Aid Commission. And so that's very impressive. And so I, as I mentioned, I'm very, very honored thanks to Dean Brooks, to Richard Devlin, the law faculty that are here, people that I've met today. Also the representatives of the Barrister Society, the President, Daryl Pink. I appreciate all of you welcoming me. And I have to commend the people that are at the law school as well as the Barrister Society for the manner in which that they are approaching issues related to the delivery of legal services. Rather than bearing their head in the sand, as some jurisdiction, sometimes my own United States, various states have done, I think that you as a group and your representatives that work in this area have been very, very proactive. We'll use that word throughout this next hour. And looking at these radical changes in legal profession and what's the proper response. And you're fortunate when you go through this examination process in having people that are leaders in the field like Richard Devlin, the people at the Barrister Society. And so I think as Canadians, people that are here connected to this process, you should be very proud as to the way that they're undertaking this initiative in examining what's going on. And just to start with, as Professor Devlin mentioned, I'm going to be discussing management-based regulation of firms and largely drawing on work that I did in Australia. And so with that, I want to get you involved a little bit and we'll make this interactive. Typically when I teach large groups or conduct professional development programs, I have the responder units that way people can't fall asleep on you. And I know it's about 4.30, 4.45. So we won't have responder units today, but I'll ask you to raise your hands on this one question. Because what I'd like you to do is to consider what comes to mind when somebody mentions changes in the legal profession in Australia. So maybe you could just have a showing of hands. How many people think of Wiglas Barristers in federal court? Okay, nobody. How about... Oh, somebody. All right. You go to... You wake up in the middle of the morning thinking of Wiglas Barristers, right? Okay, but you've heard about it. All right. How about... Okay. Law firms selling stock in public offerings. All right. And how about the third? Lawyers systematically managing their practices. So a few of you, people maybe who've done work in the area. Well, what I base this on is there's a radio program some of you may have heard of in the U.S. typically on this radio program that's called Ask... Let's say Ask Ask. Don't... Oh, no. Wait, wait. Don't tell me. They have these quiz kind of questions and typically each of the answers presents something somewhat farcical and one of them's correct. In this case, all three of these are correct. So what we now have in federal court in Australia are Wiglas Barristers. When I was looking at this, I appreciated the fact that there is a four-page report that talks about attire and they say that it's a brief description of attire in federal court. So that's true. It's also true. Some of you have known about the firms that have gone public and so the first one was Slater and Gordon, followed by two others. That got a great deal of attention and play in the legal profession and in business communities. But the one that has gotten less attention, but in my opinion, is far more noteworthy is the movement towards management-based regulation of lawyers and it's this requirement that lawyers implement management systems within their organization. And so this actually goes back to the legislation that allowed lawyers to basically allow non-lawyers to have ownership interest in a firm. And this has developed over a period of time. But when there was legislation that allowed lawyers to bring in non-lawyer owners without restriction, there was a concern as to what would happen and what would that do to the ethical requirements that are imposed on lawyers, what our standards are. And so what we ended up with in Australia were provisions within their legislation to lay concerns about non-lawyer ownership. And basically what you get when you have these incorporated firms who now can bring in non-lawyer owners is three main requirements that I have on the screen. So your first requirement is that if you're one of these incorporated firms that have limited liability and also the opportunity to bring non-lawyer owners, you have the requirement that you appoint a person. A point person is a legal practitioner-director and it is up to that person to both identify and report professional misdeeds within the organization. But also it is that person's responsibility to implement and maintain what are called appropriate management systems. And the point of this third requirement is to have systems in place to ensure basically that any provision of legal services comply with the requirements of the law. So that's the basic three requirements under the legislation. And basically what we see is the statute itself set forth these requirements but did not really define the meaning of appropriate management systems. So what does it mean? We don't know, but what we had in New South Wales was a very creative regulator. Some of you may have met by the name of Steve Mark. He's visited here before and is coming back. He basically worked with practitioners to develop these ten objectives of sound legal practice. And it was working with people in the field what are the stakeholders, the practitioners, representatives of the malpractice insurance carrier, the law society to identify objectives of sound practice. And the point of these objectives was largely to address concerns that typically arise in client complaints and complaints that get processed by the regulator. So it was the regulator working with stakeholders to determine what are the objectives that should be met for a practitioner or firm to demonstrate that they have in place appropriate management systems. And so that was the first thing that the regulator did with these stakeholders. Then the second thing was to come up with a way of evaluating whether those objectives have been met and what they developed was this regulatory regime that involves a self-assessment process. And what was developed out of this consultation was a self-assessment instrument that covers these ten objectives. And the point of that self-assessment instrument was to allow the legal practitioner-director on behalf of the organization to go through a self-examination process and evaluate what is going on within the organization, what they have that meets the objectives, and what do they need to do to improve what they have, particularly if they determine something is lacking. And that they go through this self-assessment process using the instrument. When they do so, they basically are rating their compliance on the scale of non-compliant all the way through compliant plus. And it's really up to the director to just look at what is basically their organization and whether those controls they currently have comply with the objectives. And just to give you an idea of what the objectives are, the ten of them that there are, basically are ones that those of you that are in practice are familiar with, having competent work practices, a objective dealing with communication, something dealing with the process for liens and file transfers, documentation of fees and cost disclosure. So that's a few of the objectives. And then the last ones you see are also things that every practitioner is familiar with, including covering things like conflicts of interest, records management, supervision, and the proper handling of trust accounts. So that's the basic objectives. And so what you have then is a process where the firm works through these objectives and reports to the regulator. And the idea is to do it periodically. They started with once a year, and the idea is then for this process to be repeated. And the hope is that the practitioner, when he or she is working through the form, that this self-examination will allow them to learn from the process. And that's why it is now referred to as education towards compliance. The point is that the entire process now gives the firm, so it could in some ways force the firm's representative to engage in this kind of self-examination and go through the rating. And then if they determine that something is lacking, then they have the window to work with the regulator to improve, to get their house in order. So putting that together, it is education towards compliance. So it's focusing on more of prevention and mitigation, and that's why the program in New South Wales is viewed as being a kind of prototype for what is called management-based regulation of firms. And so this prototype is considered to be proactive because instead of swooping in after lawyers have violated some particular rule, the idea is that the regulator is educating the practitioners so they know what's required and can improve what they do. And so what has happened in Australia is that this started in New South Wales, and then what it did was to move into the other states in Australia, to Queensland, Victoria, and what we've seen is that each jurisdiction has done something a little differently. What we see in Queensland is that they've been, I think, very, very forward-thinking in not only having the one self-assessment tool, but developing a number of self-assessment tools for practitioners, and all of those are available online if you're interested in looking at them. So we have the other jurisdictions in Australia that now have gotten on board, and in addition, people like me who do empirical research have been very interested in what has happened in Australia and then starting with the first study on the New South Wales system. We see that the researchers now have gotten a good deal of play in terms of their study. And one study that I want to mention is one conducted by Dr. Christine Parker. What that study did was to focus on complaints rates involving the incorporated legal practices that went through this self-assessment process. And you see on the screen that I've put the results, the two key results from that particular study, and this was just basically crunching the numbers. And you see that based on the numbers, that the complaints rates for these incorporated firms that went through the self-assessment process went down by two-thirds, two-thirds after they completed the self-assessment process. I mean, that is a dramatic reduction in the number of complaints. So that speaks to education towards compliance in the way that self-examination can contribute to people getting their house in order and hopefully then not having the same number of complaints. And then there was also the aspect of the study that compared the number of complaints involving these incorporated legal practices and other firms. And you see that the self-assessed firms that went through this particular process, that the number of complaints were one-third compared to firms that did not go through this process. Very, very notable finding as well. And as I mentioned, this particular study, these results have gotten a great deal of attention. They got my attention because what the study didn't do is provide the why. Why did the complaints rates go down? And the researchers made the point of saying that they weren't... We could all speculate on the reason why complaints rates went down, but that wasn't one of the issues that they were looking at. So later in 2012, I designed a study to really focus more on the why. The why did complaints go down? What was the effect of implementing these... First of all, requiring the self-assessment process and the implementation of management systems. What I designed was a mixed-method study. So the idea is to survey as many people as possible that were impacted, so we conducted a survey of all firms that had two or more solicitors who had completed the self-assessment form. And then in addition, and we had a 40% response rate on that survey, but then a survey only gives you so much information. You really want the opportunity to ask follow-up questions, which you get in the other part of the study, which are the interviews. And so with an Australian professor, we conducted 41 studies of directors who had gone through this self-assessment process. And one thing that we attempted to do, both with the survey as well as the interviews, is to try to figure out that connection between the self-assessment process, the ethical norms within the organization, the conduct and culture within the firms. So one, I think, key question in trying to figure out what that connection is is just to ask the firms specifically what steps did you go through to complete the self-assessment process. And so I have those results on the screen. So the question that was specifically posed was, you know, what did you do in connection with completing the self-assessment process? And you see that 84% indicated that they had reviewed firm policies. 71% went beyond just reviewing them, but revised their firm systems, policies and procedures. Close to half, 47% actually adopted new systems, policies and procedures. 47, excuse me, 42% indicated that they strengthened firm management all the way down to 6% who went as far as actually hiring a consultant to assist the firm in developing their policies and procedures. So this gives you an idea as to the steps that they went through. And so when you look at these steps, you can better appreciate that from a risk management perspective that the improvement of these systems and controls is what helps explain that huge reduction in the complaints that were registered against firms that went through the self-assessment process. I think that a noteworthy finding here related to firm size, because what I determine when you analyze the numbers and do cross-comparison, cross tabs, is that there really was no noticeable significant difference in the firms that had taken steps in firm size. So that's another way of saying that regardless of firm size, that steps were taken and hopefully the practitioners and the people they serve benefited from those steps. So that was one aspect of looking at the connection between the self-assessment process and the development of systems. Another thing was to actually ask the respondents what was their impression of the impact of the self-assessment process. And so there was a scale there and what I did was to try to then look at their responses and I grouped them in four areas. So the first group were those things that related to firm management and supervision. You can see that was the greatest impact. Moving down, they noted that there also was impact on client service issues. So less impact as a group when you analyze the results, but there still was impact related to client satisfaction, client communication. Less impact in the area of ethical conduct and leadership and the area that had probably the least impact was what I consider firm dynamics. Now if you compare these results, I think it makes sense because the self-assessment process as designed was focused on management systems. Therefore, doesn't it make sense that the impact that's going to be greatest is on supervision, risk management, firm management. What I thought was most interesting in the discussion with directors was that they saw many of them saw management different from ethics and that they thought of ethical conduct as being something different than just management of their practices and therefore they focused more in their responses on the impact on management including firm supervision and risk management and less on ethics. I saw this in other results too when it came to asking about ethics controls that were not covered in the self-assessment form. There were fewer, far fewer firms that had controls that weren't mentioned in the self-assessment process. So that leads one to ask the question whether firms were just using the self-assessment process as tick the box, just go through the motions. And so I asked a question on the survey that related to this. I asked how many agreed or strongly disagreed with the following statement. The statement was that the self-assessment process amounts to meaningless box ticking. For that inquiry, 12% indicated that they agreed or strongly agreed with that statement. And so what I saw by looking at those responses, putting them together, trying to analyze how this plays out is that the directors seem to fall on somewhat of a continuum when it came to analyzing the self-assessment process, the impact on the firm, and what it meant to them as a representative of the firm. And what I've done in an article I've written, I've talked about the continuum, but for our purposes I thought I'd use a diagram instead to in some way capture the way that firm directors might embrace this particular process. And from the interviews from the survey data, what I learned was that you do have the number that are going through the motions that are ticking the boxes. That appears to be the smaller number. Then when it comes to embracing this entire process, you have a larger percentage who now are looking at this process and seeing its value when it comes to complying with the requirements of the regulator, complying with requirements of clients. Because increasingly those of you that are in-house know that clients now are imposing more requirements when it comes to management systems and controls within the organization. So that's a larger number. You have a percentage who also now are looking at this from the standpoint of risk management and are implementing management controls in order to lower their exposure to negligence claims. But the most interesting to me when it comes to the lawyers who have truly embraced this, they're the lawyers and their firms that see having management systems as a way that they distinguish themselves in the marketplace. It's what may be considered the business imperative to developing management systems. And this has occurred typically with midsize and larger firms in Australia. What I learned in New South Wales is that for the purposes of tenders, of beauty contests, that now firms are using their management systems to sell themselves to these prospective clients and to distinguish themselves in the marketplace. Some of them have actually sought now certification that's provided by the International Standards Organization. And so to me, they're the ones that clearly have embraced the development of management systems as a way of merging good ethics and good practice and good management. So to put this together, I think that all indications from my study and the earlier study conducted by Professor Parker is that this management-based regulation is successfully providing these firm directors, first this incentive to examine what they're doing, the tools to do so, and the authority to make changes within the organization. In effect, it's a matter of going to one's peers and saying the regulator is making us do this. We may not have a good system for conflicts, controls, but now this is something we need. That could be done in a larger organization. It could be done in a firm that has a solo or a couple of solicitors who need to go to their paralegal. I thought this was interesting in one of my interviews that a director indicated that the requirement for the self-examination gave that director the ability to go to the paralegal staff and say, we need to clean up what we do. And so in this case, it gave the person really the authority to make changes within the organization. As far as the director's perspective on this being a learning process, getting back to education towards compliance, the majority indicated that they learned from the process and 65% indicated that it helped them solve problems. And so putting this together, I think that in so far in Australia, starting in New South Wales, moving into the other states there, that you have a good system. And the challenge now is to make that good system better. And I think that the way they do so is by expanding the educational outreach and other aspects of what they're doing. And so I've made recommendations on how they can make those changes in terms of Australia, but I also think that the recommendations can help inform what other jurisdictions do as they consider management-based regulation. Here in Canada, different provinces, including your own here in Nova Scotia, are considering regulatory changes to respond to developments in the delivery of legal services. And what we have seen in the other provinces is that there's been a good deal of attention to alternative business structures and questions raised as to the best approach for dealing with alternative business structures if they're allowed. Just last week, the Professional Regulation Committee for the Law Society of Upper Canada issued a report to their convocation that recommended continued exploration of alternative business structures and development of models for entity regulation. Here in Nova Scotia, the Bearsters Society is engaged in what appears to be a very thoughtful evaluation of both regulation and governance. They're doing so pursuant to a strategic plan that I think is concise and informative. And that strategic plan, many of you may know, states two goals. And I'm going to state them slowly for the students. One is transforming regulation and governance in the public interest. And secondly, enhancing access to justice here in Nova Scotia. Those are the stated goals of the strategic plan. Impressive goals. I'm also, I think, taken by the manner in which they are approaching the process because it's very deliberate in inviting stakeholders to participate. We have here Daryl Pink and Victoria Reese. Some of you know that Victoria is the Director of Professional Responsibility for the Bearsters Society. And she's completed a 70-page plus comprehensive report. And it's called Transforming Regulation and Governance. And that report draws heavily on the great work of distinguished scholars and researchers like Professor Devlin. And I commend to you that report. Please read it. I think it concisely analyzes developments and concerns related to lawyer regulation and the role of the Bearsters Society. And I think it also does an excellent job. I'm not just, you know, trying to be complimentary. I'm calling it like I see it. It does a really good job opposing questions for consideration. It ends with a number of steps that should be taken, and they include adopting a proactive approach with lawyers and law firms that involves education and engagement and possibly the creation of an alternative management systems approach. And secondly, allowing firms the room to establish appropriate management systems that fit their practices. And that is meaningful because it's a recognition that one size does not fit all. And what the society has done in terms of being, I think, inclusive in this process is to invite feedback. And so I pulled for you the page on the website where you have the link to this consultation report that Victoria has written. Very well done. I once again encourage you to read it. And you also have a link to a survey instrument. And those of you that are practitioners, if you haven't done so, that survey instrument is worth completing. It gives you an opportunity to weigh in on these issues and for your feedback to be considered. So please do consider submitting your responses in response to this invitation. Now, as your counsel for the Barrister Society and other interested parties are exploring these different possibilities, what I'd like to do is share some recommendations as to what I would ask you to consider as you're evaluating what you do. And this is based on my work on the Australian experience. And so the first recommendation that I have for improving or designing a management-based regulation is to look at the role of the regulator and the possibility that the regulator is wearing different hats and how that plays out. One thing that I learned in particular in the interviews less in the survey is that there were directors that perceived somewhat of a problem with being candid on self-assessment forms with the regulator. It was that if you have the regulator as both an enforcer and an educator, then you may not be as inclined to disclose problems you have within your organization. And some very sophisticated directors recommended that the roles be divided. I know that Professor Devlin's have written a little about this idea of different roles served by the regulator, but here my recommendation for Australia in improving their systems and for other jurisdictions that are considering management-based regulation is to split the roles so that the personnel that are involved in the self-assessment process, the educational role, are different people, different arm of the office than those that are involved in complaints handling. And one thing that came through in an interview was just how this perception plays out in terms of the director's response to communications from the office. In New South Wales, the Office of Legal Services Commissioner used a distinctive color of stationery. And the practitioners associated that color of stationery with the complaint being lodged against them. So they pick up the envelope, it's that color, and what happens? Their blood pressure goes up because they immediately think a complaint's been filed against me or somebody at my firm. And so what this director said, one way of separating those roles is just to have a different color of stationery for the educational arm versus the enforcement arm. But so this is an example, really, of how dividing up the roles of the regulator could make a difference. And basically the educator is there to help, not to swoop in on people who are not necessarily in compliance, is to help them get into compliance. And in the words of one practitioner, the message should be that the only failure is the failure to learn. So that's recommendation really one, going to the role of the regulator. Another recommendation that I'm making is to take this education towards compliance to the next level. They've done a good deal, but more could be done in terms of providing these practitioners more guidance on what needs to be done. I got a great deal of feedback as to the interest in resources that practitioners were interested in. They wanted more assistance to be provided. And I think from the standpoint of the regulator, the regulator's response may be, well, all that sounds good, but it costs money. And so what I encourage those of you that are thinking about costs associated with providing more education and assistance is to compare the costs associated with providing assistance, being proactive, and what that compares to when it comes to adjusting and handling complaints. And what I'd suggest is that it's more economical in the long run to help avoid complaints, help practitioners stay out of getting in hot water as opposed to having someone go down the wrong path and then have to handle the complaints after the harm's already been done. And so there's various steps that could be done to provide this additional assistance. Recommendations from directors would include a comprehensive website that would have various links, the use of electronic newsletters, seminars, workshops, individual consultations. The directors were very interested in having the ability to call someone up and get guidance on what they needed to do. They wanted more in the way of templates. And once again, I think that if we're serious about educating practitioners, then it's a matter of investing in developing these kinds of workshops and resources to assist the practitioners. So that's recommendation two. Another practical recommendation relates to the form and content of the self-assessment instrument. And this is where, both on the survey as well as in the interviews, we got a good deal of feedback related to the way that the instrument should be designed. And one takeaway is that you want to design this form in a way that it just doesn't lend itself for box ticking. And one way of doing that would be to require more of a narrative than just having people rate compliant or through non-compliant or compliant plus through non-compliant is to force the respondent to do a little more when it comes to completing the form. Now that may take time and that's been one criticism of the process is that it does take time and this could take more time to require something descriptive as opposed to just checking the box or ratings. But if you basically required this description the first time through, then later you could ask the respondents, the directors, just to update what they provided. So that's one possibility, is change the form. Another thing that was very clear is that there needed to be different forms for firms of different sizes. Even though they, the Australians have taken the position that appropriate management systems means that what's appropriate for your firm, what the directors in smaller practices believed and many of them articulated was the concern that this form was designed for larger practices and that it wasn't really covering the nature of their practice. So as you're developing a management based regulation system one thing to consider is different instruments from firms of different sizes. Another possibility is to expand the coverage of the form itself. As I mentioned before the form that's used in Australia now, New South Wales and the other states largely covers client type of concerns with no coverage, effectively no coverage of matters related to duty of the courts and issues related to the dynamics of the firm relationship. So one thing to consider is to help directors consider these other issues by integrating those other issues in the instrument. And one self-assessment tool that does that is a self-assessment instrument that was developed for the Canadian Bar Association by Amy Salson who is teaching this semester at University of Ottawa and some of you know Amy. She's done an excellent job in developing this self-assessment instrument that is available and I have the link on the screen. And basically what that covers is not just client concerns but non-client concerns including equity within the organization duties beyond those duties to the client. So I'd encourage you to look at that particular instrument. One, as we think about instruments that are available my question would be when it comes to let's say the Canadian Bar Association instrument is how many lawyers will voluntarily go through the process? We'll go to the link, go through the process. Will they do it? Will they do it because they heard a lecture say this is a good idea? My concern is that lawyers need a push. We have limited time, limited resources and without a push, without incentives we may not have enough interest for people to devote the time and energy to go through the self-assessment process. So what I'm hopeful of is that we will have interested parties and decision makers try to develop different incentives so that lawyers are more inclined to go through self-assessment and to devote time to improving their management systems within their organizations. Now in Australia that push involved allowing non-lawyer owners and that legislation that I mentioned before. So the push, the incentive became the new legislation that required that lawyers implement management systems. So as other jurisdictions are considering the way they can encourage lawyers to go through self-examination, the possibility might be to include this kind of management-based regulation self-assessment process in any changes any new legislation let's say that allows alternative business structures. So that's a possibility is the features of management-based regulation get integrated in some kind of legislation that allows alternative business structures. Another possibility for integrating management-based assistance or regulation is to look at a kind of diversion program for lawyers that are struggling with management and practice controls. And so what we have in the United States in about half of the jurisdictions is a form of diversion for what is characterized as minor misconduct. And the idea is that if the screener of the complaint evaluates the complaint that has been filed against the lawyer and the screener determines that the issue that's involved is something that would qualify as minor misconduct and the screener can make this referral to a diversion program. And the purpose then is for the lawyer to stay out of the complaint side of the office and instead work on improving the way they handle their affairs. These diversion programs in the US started with assisting lawyers that were struggling with different types of impairments such as substance abuse and now some of the diversion programs have expanded to just generally assist lawyers that have issues related to their practice management. Here in Nova Scotia once again you should be proud that you do have a lawyer's fitness to practice program that allows for this kind of diversion better term for lawyers that have some kind of capacity issue so that there's a question as to their capacity to practice that they can go to the fitness to practice program as opposed to going through the regular complaint side. And so my suggestion is as you evaluate management based regulation you consider expanding the availability of diversion so it's not just limited to lawyers that have some kind of capacity issue, but that it would be lawyers who are accused of some minor misconduct that would benefit from this kind of assistance where they improve what they do and hopefully avoid problems in the future. So that's a possibility in terms of a way you can integrate these management based features in what is currently done. Another possibility to consider is just providing more practice management assistance. That's where I said before that I think that the resources devoted to providing lawyers assistance pays off in the short run as well as the long run. And one thing that I learned from the time that I actually represented lawyers when I was still in practice and represented malpractice carriers is that some of the most sophisticated lawyers in practice were concerned about the way that different materials could be used against them specifically when I represented Texas Lawyers Insurance Exchange which was the bar-affiliated carrier in Texas. We developed a self-assessment tool a good 20 years ago and when we then rolled it out and encouraged lawyers to complete it the lawyers that were aware of were basically familiar with what happens in a legal malpractice case were concerned because they didn't want that instrument being completed today and tomorrow being used against them in a negligence case. And so going back to that experience I thought about how we encourage lawyers to go through the self-examination without fearing discovery when they later sued for malpractice. I explored that concern when I conducted an empirical study on peer review in law firms and in that empirical study that involved managing partners of firms with 10 or more lawyers in Texas 36% of the managing partners indicated that they would be more likely to conduct peer review if the results of that peer review were protected and 30% actually indicated that they didn't engage in peer review because they were concerned about discovery. So clearly there's some reluctance to engage in peer review to go through a self-examination process because you don't want the material used against you and so what I'm advocating and I have an article discussing this is a kind of self-evaluation privilege similar to what we have in the United States for medical peer review so that lawyers can go through self-examination the results then would be protected so that they don't have to fear how it could play out in a malpractice case that might be brought later so if any of you are interested in my draft of a proposed self-evaluation privilege please let me know what we have I understand here in Nova Scotia doing some work is currently there is confidentiality that's provided for information that is obtained through the risk and practice management program or through the lawyers assistance program and I suggest that that limited protection be expanded to cover material that is covered and developed in audits including self-audits so that you don't have to hire an outside lawyer to conduct the audit in order for the matters to be protected instead you could develop materials and have that protected if it's done in-house and then finally the incentive that I wanted to mention that is of most interest to me is the possibility of developing a kind of certification program for firms that want to be recognized for their management systems and this goes back to the work in Australia and the feedback that I got from the practitioners that wanted to use management systems to retain clients and to woo new clients could we develop certification programs so that lawyers that were interested in developing their management systems get the certification and that way it is something they do because they want to once again merge good management with good ethics so to put this together as I'm getting to the end of the session here I think that the bottom line for me is that this regulation of lawyers that is proactive really has made a difference and it is and the verb that I've used coincidentally that is the title of the Nova Scotia report that Ms. Reese has written is it transforms that relationship between the regulator and the regulated practitioners because now we no longer have a regulator who is basically coming in after the fact reacting to complaints rather through this proactive approach the regulator is partnering with lawyers and the point is to assist them in improving their management system so it truly is transforming the relationship between the regulator and the lawyers the practitioners from my standpoint I think that we have seen that the proactive system has made a difference we've seen it in terms of the quantitative data on the complaints going down I saw it in the findings from my particular study and I think there's a result that this proactive approach promises not only to reduce the number of complaints and liability claims but also it promises to promote client satisfaction and the quality of legal services and so to me it comes down to public protection and that's somewhat of the drum that I'm beating on this is that if we really want to make a difference long term it will help to rethink the relationship between the regulator and those regulated and to devote the resources to assisting lawyers to get their house in order now one thing that I've done since moving to New York has learned that all good things get captured in a cartoon typically it's the new cartoons out of the New Yorker and I think that often that a lesson can be concisely shared in a clever cartoon so I had to find a good cartoon to capture this and so this one I thought helped us think about being proactive versus reactive so that would be my take away for the students, for the lawyers is to really think about what difference it would make to invest the resources in being proactive and it clearly can all indications lower your exposure for complaints for liability claims there are all sorts of tangible and intangible costs associated with both of those you also have I think longer term the ability to save yourself the headaches associated with those complaints and finally I think in the words of one of the practitioners in Australia the other thing it gives you when you devote time to improving your management systems is the ability to sleep better at night so with that I want to thank you again for including me in this affair today it's been an honor and I think we have a little time for questions so thank you

A coalition of election observers in Plateau State have encouraged eligible voters to participate in the coming elections. The spokesman of the group told the people to use the opportunity to provide and buy out elections to choose leaders that will stare their affairs of the state. By the last elected by good citizens who don't vote, nobody, I say again to the citizens of Plateau State, nobody will be privy of your right to vote when you step out, except you deprive yourself by not voting. If you don't vote, you are ignoring history and giving away your future. Our vote is precious and is the most powerful nonviolent tool in our society and now is the opportunity to use it. And so I call on the good people of Plateau State to use your vote and use it wisely. We are encouraging every eligible voter that's of voting age in Plateau State to go out and exercise their franchise by voting the candidate of their choice and the forthcoming Saturday Governorship and State Assembly election. Also, the National Chairman of the Independent National Elections Commission, Anak Ufumaku, Mamu Jakubu and his team assured Nigerians that all modelists have been put in place from accreditation to voting, kind of ballot, result announcement and real-time viewing of results sheets on the Anak voter. This meant that every vote will count unfoldedly. That was not the case during the presidential election and national assembly elections. Some polling units had just one police officer to man the polling unit. What others had none at all. Likewise, there were cases of, you know, malfunction of the viewers. More importantly, in the area of logistics, there was general lateness of arrival of matter, especially here in Plateau State. Almost 80% of the polling units didn't get their electoral match until about 11 a.m. on election day. That is not good enough.

Assessing the inequality issues in Namibia – an interview with Blessing Chiripanhura

Dr. Blessing Chiripanhura, Senior Lecturer at the Polytechnic of Namibia, discusses the topical issues regarding inequality in Namibia notably the government’s efforts to reduce inequality and poverty as well as increase the distribution of access to resources like credit. While the Namibian economy has been growing steadily for the last decade there are still some causes for concern regarding inequality. Furthermore, a lot of the growth experienced has been jobless growth. Therefore, the government is focused on exploiting other sectors of the economy that will generate greater levels of employment than, say, the capital-intensive mining industry. Dr. Chiripanhura describes the social assistance programme and talks about its success in reducing poverty and inequality. He also believes that other resource rich economies can learn how to better distribute their resources and the resulting profits towards local development and prevent them from being channelled directly out of the country. Questions: 0:11 How did you become interested in work in inequality issues? 0:47 You are now working in Namibia – what are the main inequality issues there? 1:35 There is some evidence that high levels of inequality make economic growth less effective in addressing and inequality – do you see that in Namibia? 2:51 The economy is heavily dependent on capital-intensive mining – what is being done on employment? 3:49 Your work suggests that social assistance is an important equalizer – can you explain the mechanism? 4:56 What can other resource rich economies learn from Namibia? 6:02 What is the value for you of the UNU-WIDER network?

Mata many years ago after my first degree, I started working with the trade unions. I did a master's working on issues of labour and economic development. And that time in Zimbabwe we were introducing or we were implementing structural adjustment programs. It is from that background that I developed an interest in both employment issues and resource distribution within the country. And then it just built one and one like that. You know maybe the main things that are happening now that the government has been trying to reduce the level of inequality within the country. If you look at what they inherited at independence in 1990, very high unequal society. And this could have been between rural and urban or between different ethnic groups. They've come up with some development programs where the main target is reducing inequality as well as reducing the level of poverty. So those are some of the issues that we are looking at including the distribution of access to resources as well. It's quite topical now particularly access to land as a way of trying to empower the people who were initially marginalized from accessing it. If you look at the case of Namibia, generally the economy has been growing significantly over the past 10 or so years, positive growth. But then if you look at the rate at which inequality has been going, yes there's been a decline but perhaps not as much as we would have expected given the rate of growth that has been there. And if you look at poverty as well, there has been a decline but there are certain pockets of poverty that are quite persistent. It's like that the high good performance on the poverty and inequality sphere that have been realized over the past 10, 15 years may become more difficult to achieve in the future because now we'll be looking at those other pockets where it's not so easy to reach particularly with the growth the way it has been over the past few years. It's worse that the growth has generally been jobless so to say because employment has not been performing as much as we would have expected in order to distribute that growth to households. Generally I think there is that realization within the country that although mining is a big sector within the economy, its level of employment has generally been in law particularly because of the capital intensity that you find in that sector. In a way you would understand why it may be like that because the level of human capital within the country is also problematic. It's generally on the law side, technical skills that the miners may want, they are not there. So the government is generally focused on forming areas where it thinks they can be used as drivers of economic growth. If you look at drivers of employment, they talk of the tourism sector, they talk of agriculture, they also talk of manufacturing and transport and logistics as areas where there is comparative advantage that the country can exploit to try and grow the level of employment. What we've been trying to understand is how the government can deal with the level of poverty within the country and the main or the flagship social assistance that you get there is the old people's pensions. That pension is given to individuals who are 60 years and above and the main intention being to reduce poverty among that group was the retirement ages at 60. So what we are finding is generally it does help reduce poverty in those households but not to the extent that it would have had if the other sections of the economy were doing well. You will find that in some households that pension is the main source of income and it's spread thinly across a lot of people and it will not as much reduce poverty but relative to other sources of income within households we realize it does have a positive impact on inequality. I think the main thing is to try and see how best the resources within the country can be distributed more equally or at least accessible to the majority of the people. You will find in an economy where much of the resources are being exploited by international companies or multinational companies and the profits therefrom are channeled straight out without a mechanism of ensuring that one they can be used for the local development that can be problematic and two if there is no way of benefiting resources that are produced within the country and in the process create jobs that can also be a problem. So I hope other countries will learn that there may be need not only to harness the resources to finance development within the country but also to increase the level of beneficiation of the resources so that more jobs are created and then the value chain will be such that more people get in and they at least get a share of the resources in that country. It's of great importance in terms of not only networking with people who are already working in poverty but we realize there's a lot of development taking place within UNWIDE researchers group in terms of developing new methodologies, new approaches to analyzing things which will make it a lot easier for some of us who are mainly on the applied side that the methods have been developed and then you can try to apply them. So networking becomes a very important source of personal growth in terms of research.
