Five years after committing to eradicate hunger, we are not on track to reach our goals by 2030. Chronic hunger is up by 10 million people in one year and up by nearly 60 million in five years. Almost 690 million people went hungry in 2019 with numbers highest in Asia and rising fastest in Africa. If these trends continue, more than 840 million people will be hungry by 2030, with Africa overtaking Asia as the region affected most. The COVID-19 pandemic could add over 100 million people to this distressing toll. Overcoming hunger is just one part of the problem. Two billion people do not have regular access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food. In 2019, 144 million children under the age of five were stunted. While 47 million were affected by wasting, we are not on track to meet our 2030 targets for child stunting, low birth weight and exclusive breastfeeding. Countries are also facing the growing burden of obesity linked to poor quality diets, with 676 million of adults obese. Around the world, many people are suffering from hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition because they cannot afford healthy diets. Even the cheapest healthy diets are out of reach for more than three billion people in the world. In Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia, around 57% of the population cannot afford nutritious food. Our current dietary patterns are also taking a heavy toll in terms of health costs and the environment. By 2030, diet-related health costs linked to mortality and non-communicable diseases could be more than $1.3 trillion a year, while diet-related costs of greenhouse gas emissions could be more than $1.7 trillion a year. As the world fights COVID-19, we cannot allow the pandemic to stop the global fight on hunger and malnutrition. To achieve a world free from hunger and malnutrition by 2030, countries must transform food systems and increase the affordability of healthy diets. Shifting to healthy diets could reduce direct and indirect health costs by up to 97%, while reducing the social costs of greenhouse gas emissions by up to 74%. We must ensure the cost of nutritious foods comes down. If the whole world shifts towards a healthy diet, we have a real chance of ending hunger and malnutrition, once and for all. We must act now to build back better and make a difference in lives and communities everywhere.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2-mWBI1XNk", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Jaimie	null	2022-11-11T17:45:31	2024-04-18T18:27:19	613	Y2KKq_tjofY	Recently came across this in the garbage. It's a chair like a two-person chair This is a fiberglass chunk. It's in pretty rough shape Obviously, it's on its side. This is the bottom and that's the back It also has a stainless steel frame that like kind of holds it Here's the frame some of it is in really good shape But then this part is really I mean it was been in salt water even though it's Stainless steel that's you know the salt water will still rust if it's not really high quality stainless steel and You know, it's got two of the legs, but the other two legs are broken off. I think I'm not going to use this I'm gonna end up cutting this up and using it for some other things now this thing I want to still use it as a chair because Pretty good Not sure what it'll do for legs yet but first I just want to Fix this part up and I'm thinking if I put fiberglass along the back because this is made out of fiberglass And I'm hoping it's polyester resin not Epoxy, but it's probably polyester resin because epoxy is a lot more expensive And this doesn't look like it was that expensive of a thing. So anyway, I've started by taping paper pieces over Any holes I find in the paper I've waxed it on one side. So if I put fiberglass here, it won't stick to the paper It'll fill in the hole and I'll be able to take this off Now What am I gonna do to fix this corner? I need some kind of like little mold thing to go over this They want to put the fiberglass in there. It'll fix the corner And that one over there is in the same condition the ones at the top are looking good though Yeah, if I can just get these two corners figured out Should be able to slap a layer or two of fiberglass over this whole thing And it should be strong another reason I want to do this is because I happen to have most of a gallon of polyester resin That I had to get for something where I just need to do this little repair on a boat So I've got most of a gallon sitting there and that should be enough to do this chair Well, I decided it wasn't necessary to get these curves perfect so I just put some Tape over with some waxed paper that should be good enough and That and that hole are the only ones I had to do everything else looks fine There's some little butt drain holes so the chair doesn't fill with water. I can just re-drill those after I Gotta make sure I put some extra fiberglass Reinforcement in here because there's a crack there And you know a little extra on the other side just to reinforce it so it doesn't Yeah, I think it's pretty much ready to go. Oh fiberglass It's like a good spot. I've got a bag here of lots of fiberglass scraps Hopefully there's a few pieces I can put on here and Arrange correctly Here's that polyester resin. I've got leftover from something else most of a gallon Should be enough if it's not. I don't have any more. So oh Wow, this is just a lot of little scraps Well, they will work. So I might as well do it. Oh, should I just go cut a new big piece off a roll? Problem is these are just gonna sit here for the next 20 years doing nothing if I don't use them All right, let's do it Well, those bits of fiberglass definitely got smaller than I was hoping Whatever though, they'll all mush together when I get the resin on there It's actually a few days later now Looking pretty good Time to trim the edges The worst part of fiberglass No, this is not the worst part of fiberglass Sanding, that's gotta be the worst part of fiberglass Darn! Darn, I need both hands for this. All right, Cameron. All right That wasn't so bad I just need to get a bit of sandpaper Smooth that out I don't want to touch it because I'm gonna get itchy Oh, sandpaper All right, I had some little tape fixes here. Let's see how those went That's pretty good Good enough Not beautiful, but totally good enough Fiberglass reinforcements did pretty well Much sturdier than it was Yeah, I also found some white paint No, not really the color I would have chosen, but I had it so whatever Also, it's a little bit pink because my roller Previously, he was using red. Anyway, it's also dirty because my kid's been playing with it So this thing's been sitting around for a week or two Because I've been waiting to finish this fancy new kitchen area so This guy is gonna be seating on this side. So now that this is done I can figure out what height this needs to be and you know, put the appropriately length legs and everything I think that looks about right. I still got a lot of fiberglass stuff left over from this Boat roof rack thing Can't say angle grinding fiberglass is my favorite. Luckily, there's a good breeze taking the dust away so Got this guy And I'm thinking I could rivet it Just on the inside of there And another one for the other side and I'll make two pieces back here and then Then I'll worry about the reinforcements. Let me get those four legs on first Offer some reinforcements Definitely need something to cross here That's pretty good Maybe that's all it needs. Mostly the kids are gonna sit in this and they weigh Nothing. I'm calling it done The kitchen is open for kids Kids are definitely gonna stand on the back of this. All right Yeah, that's cool Huh looks like my camera only has a few more seconds of memory left in it. I don't know what happens when it runs out Oh, hi Hey, you're supposed to sit there. Ah, pretty good, dude Do you want do you want to sit right here? Or do you want to sit there? You think three of you will fit? Okay, sit right here.

UCf0exrLBOKgZXcXpsoVTbkA	Have We Really Transformed Higher Education?	Have we reimagined higher education with the use of technology?	null	2018-03-13T20:23:34	2024-04-23T00:50:57	340	Y2Cd2yh-Duw	Faculty, I think maybe 20 years ago, were more resistant to instructional design help, right? Why would I want you an instructional designer who doesn't know the subject matter, telling me how to teach? And I think on many campuses that's changed. There's almost a demand for faculty to think about, you know, I need instructional design services even in my face-to-face course. For those early adopters, when they look, I believe, at online education today, they would say that they've got, they know more, they've got more technology tools to bring to bear, and that when we do it very well, we do that their role is a bit different, that they work in a team. It's much more of a collaborative kind of an effort to offer that education in a way that is successful for students. I think there's evidence of gradual system level gains. For example, the other day, I was researching retention trends over time, so the proportion of first-year students who are still there in the second year, you know, full-time, part-time, and in aggregate, they continue to creep up. So all this investment in support services and nudge technologies and all the rest of it, you know, it's hard to pinpoint cause and effect, but cumulatively, you know, if we just make some assumptions about what's going on, you know, we're not seeing dramatic leaps, not surprisingly, but given that we're talking, you know, 20 million students and a few thousand institutions, to me that's quite impressive to see that steady incremental gain. I think the real evidence that I'm seeing that we're starting to gain some traction is in the level of awareness, the fact that I think even four years ago when I started in the Kerwin Center, there were still an awful lot of faculty that weren't reading the Chronicle and inside higher ed and all these other, you know, daily rags on a regular basis that we read and come to understand the real pressures on higher education. Most faculty don't. So, you know, I think what we're beginning to see is faculty saying, okay, I get it now. We've got to change. Something's got to transition here. What I've seen in higher education is a move away from some of what we were seeing around the dawn of Web 2.0, people experimenting in various ways with certain kinds of open pedagogical practices and toward this idea of institutionalizing very kinds of automated, well-measured and ultimately I think kind of soulless approaches to degree completion, student success, all these things that sound so great on the surface. What are the things we're trying to optimize in contemporary higher education? Graduation rates? Well, but that's a proxy measure. That doesn't necessarily mean you've learned critical thinking or you've learned to be able to approach a new problem insightfully. It means you've got your diploma and if you optimize for getting diplomas, inevitably the process is going to be optimized for the process of getting through credit hours. It's not going to be optimized for learning, which is messy, which can be uncertain and those are features, not bugs. One thing I've really noticed changing in the last decade is this move from faculty or even institutions in general being gatekeepers of education to student advocates, particularly in the public university space, that we're no longer trying to restrict student access to education, that we're becoming advocates, we're really thinking about equity, we're really thinking about expanding access, we're really trying to find solutions to economic hardship for students. Unfortunately, I see not a great deal of evidence that higher education is transforming. I see some bold experiments, the kind of things that are being done at Arizona State University for example. I see some new and effective players like the Western Governors University and so I do see change, but broad transformation is something that from where I sit, I don't yet see. If we're looking at the underserved post-secondary population, we've seen great strides in this. The team at ASUs and plus Research Lab is just releasing a study that shows across six different institutions the impact that digital learning has had. So I do think that we're making strides. I also think we're transforming the way we look at higher ed. We know that the now majority of people are adult learners, not the traditional learner. So I think in looking at how we serve those learners and looking for connections to the workforce and the workplace and offering those different types of credentials and how we stack them and provide those opportunities for adults, I think we're really kind of reinventing and transforming how we look. It's what the student, I think more so what the student means when you're serving that adult population than what the institution thinks the student needs.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2Cd2yh-Duw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

MILO SIDE-NOTE. BC 52, ITAT 55. The preceding year came to an end without any consular election. It was for the election expected to have taken place, that the services of Curio had been so ardently bespoken by Cicero on behalf of Milo. In order to impede the election, Claudius accused Milo of being in debt, and Cicero defended him. What was the nature of the accusation we did not exactly know? An inquiry into Milo's debts, such was the name given to the pleadings, as found with the fragments which have come to us. In these, which are short and not especially interesting, there is hardly a word as to Milo's debts, but much abuse of Claudius, with some praise of Cicero himself, and some praise also of Pompey, who was so soon to take up arms against Cicero, not metaphorically, but in grim reality of sword and buckler, in this matter of his further defence of Milo. We cannot believe that Milo's debts stood in the way of his election, but we know that at last he was not elected. Early in the year Claudius was killed, and then the suggestion of Bibulus, whom the reader will remember as the colleague of Caesar in the consulship, when Caesar reduced his colleague to ridiculous impotence by his violence, Pompey was elected as sole consul, an honour which befell no other Roman. The condition of Rome must have been very low when such a one as Bibulus thought that no order was possible except by putting absolute power into the hands of him who had so lately been the partner of Caesar, in the conspiracy which had not even yet been altogether brought to an end. That Bibulus acted under constraint is no doubt true. It would be of little matter now from what cause he acted, were it not that his having taken a part in this utter disruption of the Roman form of government, is one proof the more that there was no longer any hope for the Republic. But the story of the killing of Claudius must be told at some length, because it affords the best drawn pictures that we can get of the sort of violence with which Roman affairs had to be managed, and also because it gave rise to one of the choicest morsels of forensic eloquence that have ever been prepared by the intellect and skill of an advocate. It is well known that the speech to which I refer was not spoken and could not have been spoken in the form in which it has reached us. We do not know what part of it was spoken and what was emitted, but we do know that the promilone exists for us, and that it lives among the glories of language as a published aeration. I find on looking through the institutio oratoria of Quintillian, that in his estimation the promilone was the first in favour of all our author's erasions, facile prinkeps, if we may collect the critic's ideas on the subject from the number of references made and examples taken. Quintillian's work consists of lessons on oratory, which he supports by quotations from the great orators, both Greek and Latin, with whose speeches he has made himself familiar. Cicero was to him the chief of orators, so much so that we may almost say that Quintillian's institutio is rather a lecture in honour of Cicero than a general lesson. With the Roman schoolmaster's method of teaching for the benefit of the Roman youth of the day we have no concern at present, but we can gather from the references made by him the estimation in which various erasions were held by others as well as by him in his day. The Procluentio, which is twice as long as the promilone and which has never, I think, been a favourite with modern readers, is quoted very frequently by Quintillian. It is the second in the list. Quintillian makes eighteen references of it. But the promilone is brought to the reader's notice thirty-seven times. Quintillian was certainly a good critic, and he understood how to recommend himself to his own followers by quoting excellences which had already been acknowledged as the best which Roman literature had afforded. Those who have gone before me in writing the Life of Cicero have, in telling their story as to Milo, very properly gone to Asconius for their details. As I must do so, too, I shall probably not diverge far from them. Asconius wrote as early as the reign of Claudius, and had in his possession the annals of the time which have not come to us. Among other writings he could refer to those books of Livy which have since been lost. He seems to have done his work as commentator with no glow of affection, and with no touch of animosity, either on one side or on the other. There can be no reason for doubting the impartiality of Asconius as to Milo's trial, and every reason for trusting his knowledge of the facts. B.C. 52, I.T. 55 When the year began, no consuls had been chosen, and an interrex became necessary, one interrex after another, to make the election of consuls possible in accordance with the forms of the Constitution. These men remained in office each for five days, and it was customary that an election which had been delayed should be completed within the days of the second or third interrex. There were three candidates, Milo, Hypceus, and Q. Metellus Scipio, by all of whom bribery and violence were used with open and unblushing profligacy. Cicero was wedded to Milo's cause, as we have seen from his letter to Curio, but it does not appear that he himself took any active part in the canvas. The duties to be done required rather the services of a Curio. Pompey, on the other hand, was nearly as warmly engaged in favour of Hypceus and Scipio, though in the turn which affairs took he seems to have been willing enough to accept the office himself when it came in his way. Milo and Claudius had often fought in the streets of Rome, each roughing and attended by a band of armed combatants, so that in audacity, as Asconius says, they were equal. On the twentieth of January Milo was returning to Rome from Lanuvium, where he had been engaged as Chief Magistrate of the town in nominating a friend for the municipality. He was in a carriage with his wife Fausta, and with a friend, and was followed, as was his wife, by a large band of armed men, among whom were two noted gladiators, Udamus and Biria. At Puvili, near the temple of the Bonadere, his cottage was met by Claudius on horseback, who had with him some friends, and thirty slaves armed with swords. Milo's attendants were nearly ten times as numerous. It is not supposed by Asconius that either of the two men expected the meeting, which may be presumed to have been fortuitous. Milo and Claudius passed each other without words or blows, scowling no doubt. But the two gladiators, who were at the end of the file of Milo's men, began to quarrel with certain of the followers of Claudius. Claudius interfered, and was stabbed in the shoulder by Biria. Then he was carried to a neighbouring tavern while the fight was in progress. Milo, having heard that his enemy was there concealed, thinking that he would be greatly relieved in his career by the death of such a foe, and that the risk should be run, though the consequences might be grave, caused Claudius to be dragged out from the tavern, and slaughtered. On what grounds Asconius has attributed these probable thoughts to Milo, we do not know, that the order was given, the jury believed, or at any rate affected to believe. Up to this moment Milo was no more guilty than Claudius, and neither of them probably guilty of more than their usual violence. Partisans on the two sides endeavoured to show that each had prepared an ambush for the other, but there is no evidence that it was so. There is no evidence existing now as to this dragging out of Claudius that he might be murdered, but we know what was the general opinion of Rome at the time, and we may conclude that it was right. The order probably was given by Milo, as it would have been given by Claudius in similar circumstances, at the spur of the moment, when Milo allowed his passion to get the better of his judgment. The thirty servants of Claudius were either killed or had run away and hidden themselves, when a certain senator, S. Tedius, coming the way, found the dead body on the road, and carrying it into the city on a litter, deposited it in the dead man's house. Before nightfall the death of Claudius was known throughout the city, and the body was surrounded by a crowd of citizens of the lower order, and of slaves. With them was Fulvia, the widow, exposing the dead man's wounds and exciting the people to sympathy. On the morrow there was an increased crowd, among whom were senators and tribunes, and the body was carried out into the forum, and the people were harangued by the tribunes as to the horror of the deed that had been done. From thence the body was born into the neighbouring Senate House by the crowd, under the leading of Sextus Claudius, a cousin of the dead man. Here it was burned, with a great fire, fed with the desks and benches and even with the books and archives which were stored there. Not only was the Senate House destroyed by the flames, but a temple also that was close to it. Milo's house was attacked and was defended by arms. We are made to understand that all Rome was in a state of violence and anarchy. The consul Sfaskis had been put away in one of the temples, that of Venus Libitina. These the people seized and carried to the house of Pompey declaring that he should be dictator and he alone consul, mingling anarchy with a marvellous reverence for legal forms. But there arose in the city a feeling of great anger at the burning of the Senate House, which for a while seemed to extinguish the sympathy for Claudius, so that Milo, who was supposed to have taken himself off, came back to Rome and renewed his canvas distributing bribes to all the citizens, millia assum, perhaps something over ten pounds, to every man. Both he and Celius harangued the people and declared that Claudius had begun the fray. But no consuls could be elected while the city was in such a state, and Pompey having been desired to protect the Republic in the usual form, collected troops from all Italy. Preparations were made for trying Milo, and the friends of each party demanded that the slaves of the other party should be put to the torture and examined as witnesses. But every possible impediment and legal quibble was used by the advocates on either side. Hortensius, who was engaged for Milo, declared that Milo's slaves had all been made free men and could not be touched. Stories were told backwards and forwards of the cruelty and violence on each side. Milo made an offer to Pompey to abandon his canvas in favour of Hypceus, if Pompey would accept this as a compromise. Pompey answered with the assumed dignity that was common to him, that he was not the Roman people, and that it was not for him to interfere. It was then that Pompey was created sole consul at the instigation of Bibulus. He immediately caused a new law to be passed for the management of the trial which was coming on, and when he was opposed in this by Cilius, declared that if necessary he would carry his purpose by force of arms. Pretending to be afraid of Milo's violence, he remained at home and on one occasion dismissed the Senate. Afterwards, when Milo entered the Senate, he was accused by a senator present of having come with arms hidden beneath his toga, whereupon he lifted his toga and showed that there were none. Asconius tells us that upon this, Cicero declared that all the other charges made against the accused were equally false. This is the first word of Cicero's known to us in the matter. Two or three men declared that because they had been present at the death of Claudius, they had been kidnapped and kept close prisoners by Milo, and the story whether two or false did Milo much harm. It seems that Milo became again very odious to the people, and that their hatred was for the time extended to Cicero as Milo's friend and proposed advocate. Pompey seemed to have shared the feeling and have declared that violence was contemplated against himself. But such was Cicero's constancy, says Asconius, that neither the alienation of the people nor the suspicions of Pompey, nor fear of what might befall himself at the trial, nor dread of the arms which were used openly against Milo, could hinder him from going on with the defense, although it was within his power to avoid the quarrel with the people and to renew his friendship for Pompey by abstaining from it. Demitius Aenobarbis was chosen as president, and the others elected as judges were, we are told, equally good men. Milo was accused both of violence and bribery, but was able to arrange that the former case should be tried first. The method of the trial is explained. Fifty-one judges or jurymen were at last chosen. Scola was the first witness examined, and he exaggerated as best he could the horror of the murder. When Marcellus, as advocate for Milo, began to examine Scola, the people were so violent that the president was forced to protect Marcellus by taking him within the barrier of the judge's seat. Milo also was obliged to demand protection within the court. Pompey, then sitting at the treasury and frightened by the clamour, declared that he himself would come down with troops on the next day. After the hearing of the evidence, the tribune Munatius Plancus harangued the people and begged them to come in great numbers on the morrow so that Milo might not be allowed to escape. On the following day, which was the eleventh of April, all the taverns were shut. Pompey filled the forum at every approach to it with his soldiers. He himself remained seated at the treasury as before, surrounded by a pick to body of men. At the trial on this day, when three of the advocates against Milo had spoken, Apius, Mark Antony and Valerius Nepos, Cicero stood up to defend the criminal. Brutus had prepared an oration declaring that the killing of Claudius was in itself a good deed and praiseworthy on behalf of the republic. But to this speech Cicero refused his consent, arguing that a man could not legally be killed simply because his death was to be desired, and Brutus' speech was not spoken. Witnesses had declared that Milo had lain in wait for Claudius. This Cicero alleged to be false, contending that Claudius had lain in wait for Milo, and he endeavored to make this point and no other. But it is proved, Zesconius, that neither of the men had any design of violence on that day, that they met by chance, and that the killing of Claudius had come from the quarrelling of the slaves. It was well known that each had often threatened the death of the other. Milo's slaves had no doubt been much more numerous than those of Claudius when the meeting took place, but those of Claudius had been very much better prepared for fighting. When Cicero began to address the judges, the partisans of Claudius could not be induced to abstain from riot even by fear of the soldiery, so that he was unable to speak with his accustomed firmness. Such is the account as given by Zesconius, who goes on to tell us that out of the fifty-one judges thirty-eight condemned Milo, and only thirteen were for acquitting him. Milo therefore was condemned, and had to retire at once into exile at Marseille. It seemed to have been acknowledged by the judges that Claudius had not been wounded at first by any connivance on the part of Milo, but they thought that Milo did direct that Claudius should be killed during the fight which the slaves commenced among themselves. As far as we can take any interest in the matter we must suppose that it was so, but we are forced to agree with Brutus that the killing of Claudius was in itself a good deed done, and we have to acknowledge at the same time that the killing of Milo would have been as good. Though we may doubt as to the manner in which Claudius was killed, there are points in the matter as to which we may be quite assured. Milo was condemned not for killing Claudius, but because he was opposed at the moment to the line of politics which Pompey thought would be most conducive to his own interests. Milo was condemned, and the death of the wretched Claudius avenged, because Pompey had desired Hipsaeus to be consul, and Milo had dared to stand in his way. An audience was refused to Cicero, not from any sympathy with Claudius, but because it suited Pompey that Milo should be condemned. Could Cicero have spoken the words which afterwards were published, the jury might have hesitated, and the criminal might have been acquitted. Caesar was absent, and Pompey found himself again lifted into supreme power for a moment. Though no one in Rome had insulted Pompey as Claudius had done, though no one had so fought for Pompey as Cicero had done, still it suited Pompey to avenge Claudius and to punish Cicero for having taken Milo's part in regard to the consulship. Milo, after his condemnation for the death of Claudius, was condemned in three subsequent trials, one following the other almost instantly, for bribery, for secret conspiracy, and again for violence in the city. He was absent, but there was no difficulty in obtaining his conviction. When he was gone, one Salphaeus, a friend of his, who had been with him during the tumult, was put upon his trial for his share in the death of Claudius. He, at any rate, was known to have been guilty in the matter. He had been leader of the party who attacked the tavern, had killed the tavernkeeper, and had dragged out Claudius to execution. But Salphaeus was twice acquitted. Had there been any hope of law-abiding tranquility in Rome, it might have been well that Claudius should be killed and Milo banished. As it was, neither the death of the one nor the banishment of the other could avail anything. The pity of it was, the pity that such a one as Cicero, a man with such intellect, such ambition, such sympathies, and such patriotism, should have been brought to fight on such an arena. Sidenote BC. 52, I. 55. We have in this story a graphic and most astounding picture of the Rome of the day. No consuls had been or could be elected, and the system by which Interreges had been enabled to superintend the election of their successors in lieu of the consuls of the expiring year had broken down. Pompey had been made sole consul in an informal manner, and had taken upon himself all the authority of a dictator in levying troops. Power in Rome seems at the moment to have been shared between him and bands of gladiators, but he too had succeeded in arming himself, and as the Claudian faction was on his side he was for a while supreme. For law by this time he could have but little reverence, having been partnered with Caesar in the so-called triumvirate for the last eight years, but yet he had no aptitude for throwing the law all together on one side and making such a coup de main as was now and again within his power. Beyond Pompey there was at this time no power in Rome except that of the gladiators and the owners of the gladiators who were each intent on making plunder out of the empire. There were certain men, such as were Bibulus and Cato, who considered themselves to be optimates, leading citizens who believed in the republic, and were no doubt anxious to maintain the established order of things, as we may imagine the dukes and earls are anxious in these days of ours. But they were impotent and bad men of business, and as a body were too closely wedded to their fishponds, by which Cicero means their general luxuries and extravagances. In the bosoms of these men there was no doubt an eager desire to perpetuate a republic which had done so much for them, and a courage sufficient for the doing of some great deed, if the great deed would come in their way. They went to Farsalia and Cato marched across the deserts of Libya. They slew Caesar and did some gallant fighting afterwards. But they were like a rope of sand, and had among them no fitting leader, and no high purpose. Outside of these was Cicero, who certainly was not a fitting leader when fighting was necessary, and who asked politics in general, was fitted rather by noble aspirations than supported by fixed purposes. We are driven to wonder that there should have been at such a period, and among such a people, aspirations so noble joined with so much vanity of expression. Among Romans he stands the highest, because of all Romans, he was the least Roman. He had begun with high resolves and had acted up to them. Among all the equistores, ediles, praetors, and consuls Rome had known, none had been better, none honester, none more patriotic. There had come up suddenly in those days a man imbued with the unwonted idea that it behoved him to do his duty to the state according to the best of his lights. No Cincinnati's, no Dessius, no Camilla, no Scipio, no pretentious follower of those half-mythic heroes, no demigods struggling to walk across the stage of life, enveloped in his toga, and resolved to impose on all eyes by the assumption of a divine dignity, but one who at every turn was conscious of his human duty, and anxious to do it to the best of his human ability. He did it, and we have to acknowledge that the conceit of doing it overpowered him. He mistook the feeling of people around him, thinking that they too would be carried away by their admiration of his conduct. Up to the day on which he descended from his consul's seat duty was paramount with him. Then gradually there came upon him the conviction that the duty, though it had been paramount with him, did not weigh so very much with others. He had been lavish in his worship of Pompey, thinking that Pompey, whom he had believed in his youth to be the best of citizens, would of all men be the truest of the Republic. Pompey had deceived him, but he could not suddenly give up his idol. Gradually we see that there fell upon him a dread that the great Roman Republic was not the perfect institution which he had fancied. In his early days Christogonus had been base, and veris, and Opianicus and Catiline, but still to his idea the body of the Roman Republic had been sound. But when he had gone out from his consul's ship, with resolves strung too high that he would remain at Rome despising provinces and plunder, and be as it were a special providence to the Republic, gradually he fell from his high purpose, finding that there were no Romans such as he had conceived them to be. Then he fell away and became the man who could condescend to waste his unequal intellect in attacking Piso, in praising himself, and in defending Milo. The glory of his active life was over when his consul's ship was done. The glory was over, with the exception of that to come from his final struggle with Antony. But the work by which his immortality was to be achieved was yet before him. I think that after defending Milo he must have acknowledged to himself that all partisan fighting in Rome was mean, ignoble, and hollow. With the Senate House and its archives burned as a funeral pile for Claudius, and the forum in which he had to plead lined with soldiers who stopped him by their clang of arms instead of protecting him in his speech, it must have been acknowledged by Cicero that the old Republic was dead, past all hope of resurrection. He had said so often to Atticus, but meant say words in the despondency of the moment which they do not wish to have accepted as their established conviction. In such humour Cicero had written to his friend, but now it must have occurred to him that his petulant expressions were becoming only too true. When instigating Curio to canvass for Milo, and defending Milo as though it had been a good thing for a Roman nobleman to travel in the neighbourhood of the city with an army at his heels, he must have ceased to believe even in himself as a Roman statesman. In the oration which we possess, which we must teach ourselves to regard as altogether different from that which Cicero had been able to pronounce among Pompey's soldiers and the Claudian rabble, the reader is astonished by the magnificence of the language in which a case so bad in itself could be enveloped, and is made to feel that had he been on the jury and had such an address been made to him, he would certainly have voted for an acquittal. The guilt or innocence of Milo as to the murder really turned on the point whether he did or did not direct that Claudius should be dragged out of the tavern and slain. But here in this oration three points are put forward in each of which it was within the scope of the orator to make the jury believe that Claudius had in truth prepared an ambush gate, that Claudius was of all Romans the worst, and that Milo was loyal and true, and in spite of a certain fierceness of disposition, a good citizen at heart. We agree with Milo, who declared when banished, that he would never have been able to enjoy the fish of Marseille had Cicero spoken in the forum the speech which he afterwards composed. I would not remind you, he says, of Milo's tribunship, nor of all his service to the State, unless I could make plain to you as daylight the ambush which on that day was laid for him by his enemy. I will not pray you to forgive a crime simply because Milo has been a good citizen, nor because the death of Claudius has been a blessing to us all will I therefore ask you to regard it as a deed worthy of praise. But if the fact of the ambush be absolutely made evident, then I beseech you at any rate to grant that a man may lawfully defend himself from the arrogance and from the arms of his enemies. From this may be seen the nature of the arguments used. For the language the reader must turn to the original. That it will be worth his while to do so he has the evidence of all the critics, especially that of Milo, when he was eating sardines in his exile, and of Quintillion when he was preparing his lessons on rhetoric. It seems that Cicero had been twitted with using something of a dominating tyranny in the senate, which would hardly have been true as the prevailing influence of the moment was that of Pompey, but he throws aside the insinuation very grandly. Call it tyranny, if you please, if you think it that rather than some little authority which has grown from my services to the State, or some favour among good men because of my rank, call it what you will while I am able to use it for the defence of the good against the violence of the evil minded. Then he describes the fashion in which these two men travelled on the occasion, the fashion of travelling as it suited him to describe it. If you did not hear the details of the story, but could simply see a picture of all that occurred, would it not appear which of them had planned the attack, which of them was ignorant of all evil? One of them was seated in his carriage, clad in his cloak and with his wife beside him. His garments, his clients, his companions, all show how little prepared he was for fighting. Then as to the other, why was he leaving his country-house so suddenly? Why should he do this so late in the evening? Why did he travel so slowly at this time of the year? He was going, he says, to Pompey's villa. Not that he might see Pompey because he knew that Pompey was at Alciam. Did he want to see the villa? He had been there a thousand times. Why all this delay and turning back was in forwards? Because he would not leave the spot till Milo had come up. And now compare this Rothian's mode of travelling with that of Milo. It has been the constant custom with Claudius to have his wife with him, but now she was not there. He has always been in a carriage, but now he was on horseback. His young Greek Siborites have ever been with him, even when he went as far as Tuscany. On this occasion there were no such trifles in his company. Milo, with whom such companions were not usual, had his wife's singing-boys with him and a bevy of female slaves. Claudius, who usually never moved without a crowd of prostitutes at his heels, now had no one with him, but men picked for this work in hand. What a picture we have here of the manners in which noble Romans were won't to move about the city and the suburbs. We may imagine that the singing-boys of Milo's wife were quite as bad as the Greek attendants in whom Claudius usually rejoiced. Then he asks a question as to Pompey full of beautiful irony. If Pompey could bring back Claudius from the dead, Pompey who is so fond of him, Pompey who is so powerful, so fortunate, so capable of all things, Pompey who would be so glad to do it because of his love for the man, do you not know that on behalf of the Republic he would leave him down among the ghosts where he is? There is a delightful touch of satire in this when we remember how odious Claudius had been to Pompey in days not long and how insolent. The oration is ended by histrionic effects in language which would have been marvellous had they ever been spoken, but which seemed to be incredible to us when we know that they were arranged for publication when the affair was over. Oh, me wretched, oh me unhappy! But these attempts at translation are all vain. The student who wishes to understand what may be the effect of Latin words thrown into this choicest form should read the Milo. We have very few letters from Cicero in this year, four only, I think, and they are of no special moment. In one of them he recommends Avianus to Titus Titius, a lieutenant then serving under Pompey. In this he is very anxious to induce Titius to let Avianus know all the good things that Cicero had said of him. In our times we sometimes send our letters of introduction open by the hands of the person introduced, so that he may himself read his own praise, but the Romans did not scruple to ask that this favour might be done for them. Do me this favour, Titius, of being kind to Avianus, but do me also the greater favour of letting Avianus know that I've asked you. What Cicero did to Titius other noble Romans did in their communications with their friends in the provinces. In another letter to Marius he expresses his great joy at the condemnation of that munatius Plancas who had been tribune when Claudius was killed. Plancas had harangued the people, exciting them against Milo and against Cicero, and had led to the burning of the Senate House and of the temple next door. For this Plancas could not be accused during his year of office, but he had been put upon his trial when that year was over. Pompey had done his best to save him, but in vain, and Cicero rejoices not only that the tribune who had opposed him should be punished, but that Pompey should have been beaten, which he attributes altogether to the favour shown towards himself by the jury. He is aroused to true exultation that there should have been men on the bench who, having been chosen by Pompey in order that they might acquit this man, had dared to condemn him. Cicero had himself spoken against Plancas on the occasion. Sextus Claudius, who had been foremost among the rioters, was also condemned. This was the year in which Caesar was so nearly conquered by the Gauls at Goebbia, and in which Vercingetorix, having shut himself up in Elysia, was overcome at last by the cruel strategy of the Romans. The brave Gaul who had done his best to defend his country, and had carried himself to the last with a fine gallantry, was kept by his conqueror six years in chains, and then strangled amidst the glories of that conqueror's triumph, a signal instance of the mercy which has been attributed to Caesar as his special virtue. In this year, too, Cicero's dialogues with Atticus de Legibus were written. He seems to have disturbed his labours in the forum with no other work. End of Chapter 3. We cannot but think that at this time the return of Caesar was greatly feared at Rome by the party in the state to which Cicero belonged, and this party must now be understood as including Pompey. Pompey had been nominally proconsul in Spain since the year of his Second Consulship, conjoined with Crassus, B.C. 55, but had remained in Rome, and had taken upon himself the management of Roman affairs, considering himself to be the master of the irregular powers which the triumvirate had created. End of this party was also Cicero, with Cato, Bibulus, Brutus, and all those who were proud to call themselves Optimates. They were now presumed to be desirous to maintain the old republican form of government, and were anxious with more or less sincerity according to the character of the men. Cato and Brutus were thoroughly in earnest, not seeing, however, that the old form might be utterly devoid of the old spirit. Pompey was disposed to take the same direction, thinking that all must be well in Rome as long as he was possessed of high office, grand names, and the appendages of dictatorship. Cicero, too, was anxious, loyally anxious, but anxious without confidence. Something might perhaps be saved if these Optimates could be aroused to some idea of their duty by the exercise of eloquence such as his own. I will cut a few words from Mr. Frude's Caesar. If Caesar came to Rome as consul, the Senate knew too well what it might expect, and then he adds, Cicero had for some time seen what was coming. As to these assertions I quite agree with Mr. Frude, but I think that he has read wrongly both the history of the time and the character of the man when he goes on to state that Cicero preferred characteristically to be out of the way at the moment when he expected that the storm should break, and had accepted the government of Cilicia and Cyprus. All the known details of Cicero's life up to the period of his government of Cilicia during his government and after his return from that province prove that he was characteristically wedded to a life in Rome. This he declared by his distaste to that employment and his impatience of return while he was absent. Nothing, I should say, could be more certain than that he went to Cilicia in obedience to new legal enactments which he could not avoid, but which as they acted upon himself were odious to him. Mr. Frude tells us that he held the government but for two years. The period of these provincial governments had of late much varied. The acknowledged duration was for one year. They had been stretched by the governing party to three, as in the case of Verres in Sicily, to five as with Pompey for his Spanish government, to ten for Caesar in Gaul. This had been done with the view of increasing the opportunities for plunder and power, but had been efficacious of good in enabling governors to carry out work for which one year would not have sufficed. It may be a question whether Cicero, as proconsul in Cilicia, deserved blame for curtailing the period of his services to the empire, or praise for abstaining from plunder and power, but the fact is that he remained in his province not two years, but exactly one, and that he escaped from it with all the alacrity which we may presume to be expected by a prisoner when the bars of his jail have been opened for him. Whether we blame him or praise him, we can hardly refrain from feeling that his impatience was grotesque. There certainly was no desire on Cicero's part either to go to Cilicia or to remain there, and of all his feelings that which prompted him never to be far absent from Rome was the most characteristic of the man. Among various laws which Pompey had caused to be passed in the previous year, B.C. 52, and which had been enacted with views personal to himself and his own political views, had been one de jure magistratum, as to the way in which the magistrates of the empire should be selected. Among other clauses it contained one which declared that no praetor and no consul should succeed to a province till he had been five years out of office. It would be useless here to point out how absolutely subversive of the old system of the republic this new law would have been had the new law and the old system attempted to live together. The pro praetor would have been forced to abandon his aspirations either for the province or for the consulship, and no consular governor would have been eligible for a province till after his fiftieth year. But at this time Pompey was both consul and governor, and Caesar was governor for ten years with special exemption from another clause in the law which would otherwise have forbidden him to stand again for the consulship during his absence. The law was wanted probably only for the moment, but it had the effect of forcing Cicero out of Rome. As there would naturally come from it a dearth of candidates for the provinces it was further decreed by the senate that the ex-praetors and ex-consuls who had not yet served as governors should now go forth and undertake the duties of government. In compliance with this order, and probably as a specially intended consequence of it, Cicero was compelled to go to Cilicia. Mr. Frude has said that he preferred characteristically to be out of the way. I have here given what I think to be the more probable cause of his undertaking the government of Cilicia. Side note BC 51, Eitat 56. In April of this year Cicero before he started wrote the first of a series of letters which he addressed to Apius Claudius who was his predecessor in the province. This Apius was the brother of the Publius Claudius whom we have known for the last two or three years as Cicero's pest and persecutor, but he addresses Apius as though they were dear friends. Since it has come to pass in opposition to all my wishes and my expectations, that I must take in hand the government of a province, I have this one consolation in my various troubles, that no better friend to yourself than I am could follow you, and that I could take up the government from the hands of none more disposed to make the business pleasant to me than you will be. And then he goes on, you perceive that in accordance with the decree of the senate the province has to be occupied. His next letter on the subject was written to Atticus, while he was still in Italy but when he had started on his journey. In your farewell to me, he says, I have seen the nature of your love to me. I know well what is my own for you. It must then be your peculiar care to see lest by any new arrangement this parting of hours should be prolonged beyond one year. Then he goes on to tell the story of a scene that had occurred at Arcanum, a house belonging to his brother Quintus at which he had stopped on the road for a family farewell. Pomponia was there, the wife of Quintus and the sister to Atticus. There were a few words between the husband and the wife, as to the giving of the invitation for the occasion, in which the lady behaved with much Christian perversity of temper. Alas! says Quintus to his brother, you see what it is that I have to suffer every day. Knowing, as we all do, how great were the powers of the Roman Patafemilius, and how little woman's rights had been ventilated in those days, we should have thought that an ex-prytor might have managed his home more comfortably. But ladies, no doubt, have had the capacity to make themselves disagreeable in all ages. I doubt whether we have any testimony whatever, as to Cicero's provincial government, except that which comes from himself, and which is confined to the letters written by him at the time. Nevertheless, we have a clear record of his doings, so full and satisfactory are the letters which he then wrote. The truth of his account of himself has never been questioned. He draws a picture of his own integrity, his own humanity, and his power of administration, which is the more astonishing because we cannot but compare it with the pictures which we have from the same hand of the rapacity, the cruelty, and the tyranny of other governors. We have gone on learning from his speeches and his letters that these were habitual plunderers, tyrants, and malifactors, till we are taught to acknowledge that in the low condition to which Roman nature had fallen it was useless to expect any other conduct from a Roman governor. And then he gives us the account of how a man did govern, when, as by a miracle, a governor had been found honest, clear-headed, sympathetic, and benevolent. That man was himself, and he gives this account of himself, as it were without a blush, he tells the story of himself, not as though it was remarkable. That other governors should grind the bones of their subjects to make bread of them and draw the blood from their veins for drink, but that Cicero should not condescend to take even the normal tribute when willingly offered seems to Cicero to have been only what the world had a right to expect from him. A wonderful testimony is this as to the man's character, but surely the universal belief in his own account of his own governorship is more wonderful. The conduct of Cicero in his command was meritorious, says De Quincey. His short career as proconsul in Cilicia had procured for him well-merited honor, says Dean Merrivale. He had managed his province well. No one ever suspected Cicero of being corrupt or unjust, says Mr. Frude, who had, however, said some pages before that Cicero was thinking as usual of himself first and his duty afterwards. Dio Cassius, who is never tired of telling disagreeable stories of Cicero's life, says not a word of his Cilician government, from which we may at any rate argue that no stories detrimental to Cicero as a proconsul had come in the way of Dio Cassius. I have confirmed what I have said as to this episode in Cicero's life by the corroborating testimony of writers who have not been generally favorable in their view of his character. Nevertheless, we have no testimony but his own as to what Cicero did in Cilicia. It has never occurred to any reader of Cicero's letters to doubt a line in which he has spoken directly of his own conduct. His letters have often been used against himself, but in a different manner. He has been judged to give true testimony against himself, but not false testimony in his own favor. His own record has been taken sometimes as meaning what it has not meant, and sometimes as implying much more than the writer intended. A word which has required for its elucidation an insight into the humor of the man has been read amiss, or some trembling admissions to a friend of shortcoming in the purpose of the moment has been presumed to refer to a continuity of weakness. He has been injured not by having his own words as to himself discredited, but by having them too well credited where there have been misunderstood. It is at any rate the fact that his own account of his own proconsular doings has been accepted in full, and that the present reader may be encouraged to believe what extracts I may give to him by the fact that all other readers before him have believed them. From his villa at Kumai on his journey he wrote to Atticus in High Spirits. Hortensius had been to see him, his old rival, his old predecessor in the glory of the Forum, Hortensius whom he was fated never to see again. His only request to Hortensius had been that he should assist in taking care that he, Cicero, should not be required to stay above one year in his province. Atticus is to help him also, and another friend, Furnius, who may probably be the Tribune for the next year, has been canvassed for the same object. In a further letter from Beninventum he alludes to a third marriage for his daughter Tullia, but seems to be aware that as he is leaving Italy he cannot interfere in that matter himself. He writes again from Venusia, saying that he purports to see Pompey at Tarentum before he starts, and gives special instructions to Atticus as to the payment of a debt which is due by him to Caesar. He has borrowed money of Caesar and is especially anxious that the debt should be settled. In another letter from Tarentum he presses the same matter. He is anxious to be relieved from the obligation. From Athens he wrote again to his friend a letter which is chiefly remarkable as telling us something of the quarrel between Marcus Claudius Marcellus, who was one of the consuls for the year, and Caesar who was still absent in Gaul. This Marcellus and others of his family who succeeded him in his office were hotly opposed to Caesar, belonging to that party of the state to which Cicero was attached and to which Pompey was returning. It seemed to have been the desire of the consul not only to injure but to insult Caesar. He had endeavoured to get a decree of the senate for recalling Caesar at once, but had succeeded only in having his proposition postponed for consideration in the following year, when Caesar would naturally return. But to show how little was his regard to Caesar he caused to be flogged in Rome a citizen from one of those towns of Cisalpine Gaul to which Caesar had assumed to give the privilege of Roman citizenship. The man was present as a delegate from his town Novocomum, the present Como, in furtherance of the colony's claims, and the consul had the man flogged to show thereby that he was not a Roman. Marcellus was punished for his insolence by banishment inflicted by Caesar when Caesar was powerful. We shall learn before long how Cicero made an oration in his favour, but in the letter written from Athens he blames Marcellus much for flogging the man. Fight in my behalf, he says, in the course of the letter, for if my government be prolonged I shall fail and become mean. The idea of absence from Rome is intolerable to him. From Athens also he wrote to his young friend Celius, from whom he had requested information as to what was going on in Rome. But Celius has to be again instructed as to the nature of the subjects which are to be regarded as interesting. What! do you think that I have asked you to send me stories of gladiators, law court adjournments, and the pilferings of Christus, trash that no one would think of mentioning to me if I were in Rome? But he does not finish his letter to Celius without begging Celius to assist in bringing about his speedy recall. Celius troubles him much afterwards by renewed requests for Cilician panthers wanted for Edelian shows. Cicero becomes very seasick on his journey, and then reaches Ephesus in Asia Minor, dating his arrival there on the five hundred and sixtieth day from the Battle of Bavilla, showing how much the contest as to Milo still clung to his thoughts. Ephesus was not in his province, but at Ephesus all the magistrates came out to do him honour, as though he had come among them as their governor. Now has arrived, he says, the time to justify all those declarations which I have made as to my own conduct. But I trust I can practice the lessons which I have learned from you. Atticus, in his full admiration of his friend's character, had doubtless said much to encourage and instigate the virtue which it was Cicero's purpose to employ. We have none of the words ever written by Atticus to Cicero, but we have light enough to show us that the one friend was keenly alive to the honour of the other, and thoroughly appreciated its beauty. Do not let me be more than a year away, he exclaims, do not let even another month be added. Then there is another letter from Cilius praying for Panthers. In passing through the province of Asia to his own province, he declares that the people everywhere receive him well. My coming, he says, has cost no man a shilling. His whole staff has now joined him except one Tullius, whom he speaks of as a friend of Atticus, but afterwards tells us had come to him from Titinius. Then he again enjoins Atticus to have that money paid to Caesar. From Trales, still in the province of Asia, he writes to Apius, the outgoing governor, a letter full of courtesies and expressing an anxious desire for a meeting. He had offered before to go by any route which might suit Apius, but Apius, as appears afterwards, was anxious for anything rather than to encounter the new governor within the province he was leaving. On the thirty-first of July he reached Laodicea within his own boundaries, having started on his journey on the tenth of May, and found all people glad to see him, but the little details of his office harass him sadly. The action of my mind, which you know so well, cannot find space enough. All work worthy of my industry is at an end. I have to preside at Laodicea, while some Plotius is giving judgment at Rome. And then am I not regretting at every moment the life of Rome, the forum, the city itself, my own house? Am I not always regretting you? I will endeavour to bear it for a year, but if it be prolonged, then it will be all over with me. You ask me how I am getting on. I am spending a fortune in carrying out this grand advice of yours. I like it hugely, but when the time comes for paying you your debts, I shall have to renew the bill. To make me do such work as this is putting a saddle upon a cow, cutting a block with a razor, as we should say. Clearly I am not made for it. But I will bear it so that it be only for one year. From Laodicea, a town in Frigia, he went west to Sinada. His province, known as Cilicia, contained the districts named on the map of Asia Minor as Frigia, Pisidia, Pamphylia, part of Cabadosia, Cilicia, and the island of Cyprus. He soon found that his predecessors had ruined the people. Know that I have come into a province utterly and forever destroyed, he says to Atticus. We hear only of taxes that cannot be paid, of men's chattels sold on all sides, of the groans from the cities, of lamentations, of horrors such as some wild beast might have produced rather than a human being. There is no room for question. Every man is tired of his life. And yet some relief is given now because of me and by my officers and by my lieutenants. No expense is imposed on any one. We do not take even the hay which is allowed by the Julian law, not even the wood—four beds to lie on is all we accept and a roof over our heads. In many places not even that, for we live in our tents. Enormous crowds therefore come to us and return as it were to life through the justice and moderation of your Cicero. Appius, when he knew that I was come, ran away to Tarsus, the furthest point of the province. What a picture we have here of the state of a Roman dependency under a normal Roman governor, and of the good which a man could do who was able to abstain from plunder. In his next letter his pride expresses itself so loudly that we have to remember that this man, after all, is writing only his own secret thoughts to his bosom friend. If I can get away from this quickly, the honours which will accrue to me from my justice will be all the greater, as happened to Skyvillar, who was governor in Asia only for nine months. Then again he declares how Appius had escaped into the furthest corner of the province to Tarsus when he knew that Cicero was coming. He writes again to Appius, complaining, When I compare my conduct to yours, he says, I own that I much prefer my own. He had taken every pains to meet Appius in a manner convenient to him, but had been deceived on every side. Appius had, in a way unusual among Roman governors, carried on his authority in remote parts of the province, although he had known of his success as a rival. Cicero assures him that he is quite indifferent to this. If Appius will relieve him of one month's labour out of the twelve, he will be delighted. But why has Appius taken away three of the fullest cohorts, seeing that in the entire province the number of soldiers left has been so small? But he assures Appius that as he makes his journey neither good nor bad shall hear evil spoken by him of his predecessor. But as for you, you seem to have given to the dishonest reasons for thinking badly of me. Then he describes the exact course he means to take in his further journey, thus giving Appius full facility for avoiding him. From Kibistra in Cappadocia he writes official letters to Caesars Marcellus, who had been just chosen consul, the brother of Marcus, the existing consul, to an older Caesars Marcellus, who was their father, a colleague of his own in the College of Orgas, and to Marcus the existing consul, with his congratulations, also to Emilia's Paulus, who had also been elected consul for the next year. He writes also a dispatch to the consuls, to the praetors, to the tribunes, and to the Senate, giving them a statement as to affairs in the province. These are interesting, rather as showing the way in which these things were done, than by their own details. When he reaches Solicia proper, he writes them another dispatch, telling them that the Parthians had come across the Euphrates. He writes as Wellington may have done from Torres Vedras. He bids them look after the safety of their eastern dominions. Though they are too late in doing this, yet better now than never. You know, he says, with what sort of an army you have supported me here, and you know also that I have undertaken this duty not in blind folly, but because in respect for the Republic I have not liked to refuse. As for our allies here in the province, because our rule here has been so severe and injurious, they are either too weak to help us, or so embittered against us that we dare not trust them. Then there is a long letter to Apius, respecting the Embassy which was to be sent from the province to Rome to carry the praises of the departing governor, and declare his excellence as a proconsul. This was quite the usual thing to do. The worst, the governor, the more necessary the Embassy, and such was the terror inspired even by a departing Roman, and such the servility of the allies, even of those who were about to escape from him, that these embassies were a matter of course. There had been a Sicilian Embassy to praise Veres. Apius had complained as though Cicero had impeded this legation by restricting the amount to be allowed for its expenses. He rebukes Apius for bringing the charge against him. The series of letters written this year by Cilius de Cicero is very interesting, as giving us a specimen of continued correspondence other than Ciceronian. We have among the eight hundred and eighty-five letters, ten or twelve from Brutus, if those attributed to him were really written by him, ten or twelve from Decimus Brutus, and an equal number from Plancas. But these were written in the stirring moments of the last struggle, and are official or military rather than familiar. We have a few from Cuntus, but not of special interest, unless we are to consider that treaties on the duties of a candidate as a letter. But these from Cilius to his older friend are genuine and natural as those from Cicero himself. There are seventeen. They are scattered over three or four years, but most of them refer to the period of Cicero's provincial government. The marvel to me is that Cilius should have adopted a style so near akin to that of his master in literature. Scholars who have studied the words can probably tell us of deficiencies in language, but the easy graphic tone is to my ear Ciceronian. Tyro, who was slave, secretary, freedman, and then literary executor, may have had the handling of these letters, and have done something towards producing their literary excellence. The subjects selected were not always good, and must occasionally have produced in Cicero's own mind a repetition of the reprimand which he once expressed as to the gladiatorial shows and law-court adjournments. But Cilius does communicate much of the political news from Rome. In one letter written in October of this year he declares what the senate has decreed as to the recall of Caesar from Gaul, and gives the words of the enactments made with the names subscribed to them of the promoters, and also the names of the tribunes who had endeavoured to oppose them. The purport of these decrees I have mentioned before, the object was to recall Caesar, and the effect was to postpone any such recall till it would mean nothing. But Cilius specially declares that the intention of recalling Caesar was agreeable to Pompey, whereby we may know that the pact of the triumvirate was already at an end. In another letter he speaks of the coming of the Parthians, and of Cicero's inability to fight with them because of the inadequate number of soldiers entrusted to him. Had there been a real Roman army, then Cilius would have been afraid, he says, for his friend's life. As it is, he fears only for his reputation, lest men should speak ill of him for not fighting when to fight was beyond his power. The language here is so pretty that I am tempted to think that Tyro must have had a hand in it. At Rome we must remember that tidings as to Crassus were as yet uncertain. We cannot, however, doubt that Cilius was in truth attached to Cicero. But Cicero was forced to fight, not altogether unwillingly, not with the Parthians, but with tribes which were revolting from Roman authority because of the Parthian success. It has turned out, as you wished it, he says to Cilius, a job just sufficient to give me a small coronet of laurel. Hearing that men had risen in the townus range of mountains, which divided his province from that of Syria, in which Bibulus was now governor, he had taken such an army as he was able to collect, to the Amanus, a mountain belonging to that range, and was now writing from his camp at Pindinissum, a place beyond his own province. Joking at his own soldiering, he tells Cilius that he had astonished those around him by his prowess. Is this he whom we used to know in the city? Is this our talkative senator? You can understand the things they said. When I got to the Amanus I was glad enough to find our friend Cassius had beaten back the real Parthians from Antioch. But Cicero claims to have done some gallant things. I have harassed those men of Amanus who are always troubling us. Many I have killed, some I have taken, the rest are dispersed. I came suddenly upon their strongholds and have got possession of them. I was called Imperator at the river Issus. It is hardly necessary to explain yet once again that this title belonged properly to no commander till it had been accorded to him by his own soldiers on the field of battle. He reminds Cilius that it was on the Issus that Alexander had conquered Darius. Then he had sat down before Pindanissum with all the machinery of the siege, with the turrets, covered ways, and ramparts. He had not, as yet, quite taken the town. When he had done so, he would send home his official account of it all. But the Parthians may yet come, and there may be danger. Therefore, O my Rufus, he was Cilius Rufus, see that I am not left here, lest, as you suspect, things should go badly with me. There is a mixture in all this of earnestness and of drollery, of boasting and of laughing at what he was doing, which is inimitable in its reality. His next letter is to his other young friend Curio, who has just been elected Tribune. He gives much advice to Curio, who certainly always needed it. He carries on the joke when he tells Atticus that the people of Pindanissum have surrendered. Who the mischief are these Pindanissians, he will say. I have not even heard the name before. What would you have? I cannot make an Etolia out of Cilicia. With such an army as this, do you expect me to do things like a Macedonicus? I had my camp on the Isis, where Alexander had his. A better soldier, no doubt, than you or I. I really have made a name for myself in Syria. Then up comes Bibulus, determined to be as good as I am, but he loses his whole cohort. The failure made by Bibulus at soldiering is quite as much to him as his own success. Then he goes back to Laodicea, leaving the army in winter quarters under the command of his brother Quintus. But his heart is truly in other matters, and he bursts out in the same letter with enthusiastic praise of the line of conduct which Atticus has laid down for him. But that which is more to me than anything, is that I should live so that even that fellow Cato cannot find fault with me. May I die if it could be done better. Nor do I take praise for it, as though I was doing something distasteful. I never was so happy as in practicing this moderation. The thing itself is better to me even than the reputation of it. What would you have me say? It was worth my while to be enabled thus to try myself, so that I might know myself as to what I could do. Then there is a long letter to Cato, in which he repeats the story of his grand doings at Pindanissum. The reader will be sure that a letter to Cato cannot be sincere and pleasant, as are those to Atticus and Cilius. If there be one man far removed from the vulgar love of praise, it is I, he says to Cato. He tells Cato that they too are alike in all things. They too only have succeeded in carrying the true ancient philosophy into the practice of the forum. Never surely were two men more unlike than the stiff-necked Cato and the versatile Cicero. Lucius Emilius Paulus and Caus Claudius Marcellus were consuls for the next year. Cicero writes to both of them with tenders of friendship, but from both of them he asks that they should take care to have a decree of the senate passed praising his doings in Cilicia. With us too, a returning governor is anxious enough for a good word from the prime minister, but he does not ask for it so openly. The next letter from Cilius tells him that Appius has been accused as to malpractices in his government and that Pompey is in favour of Appius. Curio has gone over to Caesar. But the important subject is the last handled. It will be mean in you if I should have no Greek panthers. The next refers to the marriages and divorces of certain ladies, and ends with an anecdote told as to a gentleman with just such ill-natured wit as is common in London. No one could have suspected Ocella of looking after his neighbour's wife, unless he had been detected thrice in fact. From Laodicea he answers a quarrelous letter which his predecessor had written, complaining, among other things, that Cicero had failed to show him personal respect. He proves that he had not done so, and then rises to a strain of indignation. Do you think that your grand old names will affect me, who even before I had become great in the service of my country, knew how to distinguish between titles and the men who bore them? The next letter to Appius is full of flattery and asking for favours, but it begins with a sharp reproof. Now at last I have received an epistle worthy of Appius Claudius. The sight of Rome has restored you to your good humour. Those I got from you in your journey were such that I could not read them without displeasure. In February Cicero wrote a letter to Atticus, which is, I think, more expressive in describing the mind of the man than any other which we have from him. In it is commenced the telling of a story respecting Brutus, the Brutus we all know so well, and one scaptious of whom no one would have heard but for this story, which, as it deeply affects the character of Cicero, must occupy a page or two in our narrative. But I must first refer to his own account of his own government as again given here. Nothing was ever so wonderful to the inhabitants of a province, as that they should not have been put to a shilling of expense since he had entered it. Not a penny has been taken on his own behalf or on that of the Republic by any belonging to him, except on one day by one Tullius, and by him indeed under cover of the law. This dirty fellow was a follower with whom Titinius had furnished him. When he was passing from Tarsus, back into the centre of his province, wondering crowds came out to him, the people not understanding how it had been that no letters had been sent to them exacting money, and that none of his staff had been quartered on them. In former years during the winter months they had groaned under exactions. Municipalities with money at their command had paid large sums to save themselves from the quartering of soldiers on them. The island of Cyprus, which on a former occasion had been made to pay nearly fifty thousand pounds on this head, had been asked for nothing by him. He had refused to have any honours paid to him in return for this conduct. He had prohibited the erection of statues, shrines, and bronze chariots in his name, compliments to Roman generals which had become common. The harvest that year was bad, but so fully convinced with the people of his honest dealing, that they who had saved up corn, the Regratus, brought it freely into market at his coming. As some scourge from hell must have been the presence of such governors as Apius and his predecessors, among a people timid but industrious like these Asiatic Greeks. Like an unknown, unexpected blessing direct from heaven must have been the coming of a Cicero. The Life of Cicero Volume 2 by Anthony Trollope Now I will tell the story of Brutus and Scapitius and their money, promising that it has been told by Mr. Forsythe with great accuracy and studied fairness. Indeed, there is not a line in Mr. Forsythe's volume which is not governed by a spirit of justice. He, having thought that Cicero had been too highly praised by Middleton, and too harshly handled by subsequent critics, has apparently written his book with the object of setting right these exaggerations. But in his comments on this matter of Brutus and Scapitius, he seems to me not to have considered the difference in that standard of honour and honesty which governs himself, and that which prevailed in the time of Cicero. Not seeing, as I think, how impossible it was for a Roman governor to have achieved that impartiality of justice with which a long course of fortunate training has imbued an English judge, he accuses Cicero of trifling with equity. The marvel to me is that one man such as Cicero, a man single in his purpose, should have been able to raise his own ideas of justice so high above the level prevailing with the best of those around him. It had become the nature of a Roman aristocrat to pillage an ally till hardly the skin should be left to cover the man's bones. Out of this nature Cicero elevated himself completely. In his own conduct he was free altogether from stain. The question here arose how far he could dare to go on offending the instincts, the habits, the nature of other noble Romans in protecting from their capacity the poor subjects who were temporarily beneath his charge. It is easy for a judge to stand indifferent between a great man and a little when the feelings of the world around him are in favour of such impartiality, but it must have been hard enough to do so when such conduct seemed to the noblest Romans of the day to be monstrous, fanatical, and pretentious. In this case, Brutus, our old friend whom all English readers have so much admired, because he dared to tell his brother-in-law Cassius that he was much condemned to have an itching palm, appears before us in the guise of a neuserious money-lender. It would be hard in the history of usury to come across the well-assetained details of a more grasping, griping usurer. His practice had been of the kind which we may have been accustomed to hear rebuked with the scathing indignation of our just judges. But yet Brutus was accounted one of the noblest Romans of the day, only second if second to Cato, in general virtue and philosophy. In this trade of money-lending the Roman nobleman had found no more lucrative business than that of dealing with the municipalities of the allies. The cities were peopled by a money-making commercial race, but they were subjected to the grinding impositions of their governors. Under this affliction they were constantly driven to borrow money, and found the capitalists who supplied it, among the class by whom they were persecuted and pillaged. A Brutus lent the money, which an apious exacted, and did not scruple to do so at forty-eight percent, though twelve percent per annum, or one percent per month, was the rate of interest permitted by law. But a noble Roman such as Brutus did not carry on his business of this nature altogether in his own name. Brutus dealt with the municipality of Salamis in the island of Cyprus, and there had two agents named Scaptius and Matinius, whom he specially recommended to Cicero as creditors of the city of Salamis, preying Cicero as governor of the province, to assist these men in obtaining the payment of their debts. This was quite usual, but it was only late in the transaction that Cicero became aware that the man really looking for his money was the noble Roman who gave the recommendation. Cicero's letter tells us that Scaptius came to him, and that he promised that for Brutus' sake he would take care that the people of Salamis should pay their debt. Scaptius thanked him, and asked for an official position in Salamis, which would have given him the power of compelling the payment by force. Cicero refused, explaining that he had determined to give no such offices in his province to persons engaged in trade. He had refused such requests already, even to Pompey and to Torquatis. Appius had given the same man a military command in Salamis, no doubt also at the insistence of Brutus, and the people of Salamis had been grievously harassed. Cicero had heard of this, and had recalled the man from Cyprus. Of this Scaptius had complained bitterly, and at last he and delegates from Salamis who were willing to pay their debt if they could only do it without too great extortion, went together to Cicero, who was then at Tarsus, in the most remote part of his province. Here he was called upon to adjudicate in the matter, Scaptius trusting to the influence which Brutus would naturally have with his friend the Governor, and the men of Salamis to the reputation for justice which Cicero had already created for himself in Cilicia. The reader must also be made to understand that Cicero had been entreated by Atticus to oblige Brutus, who was specially the friend of Atticus. He must remember also that this narrative is sent by Cicero to Atticus, who exhorted his correspondent, even with tears in his eyes, to be true to his honour in the Government of his province. He is appealing from Atticus to Atticus. I am bound to oblige you, but how can I do so in opposition to your own lessons? That is his argument to Atticus. Then there arises a question as to the amount of money due. The principle is not in dispute, but the interest. The money has been manifestly lent on an understanding that four percent per month or forty-eight percent per annum should be charged on it. But there has been a law passed that a higher interest than one percent per month or twelve percent per annum shall not be legal. There has, however, been a counter decree made in regard to these very Salaminians, and made apparently at the instigation of Brutus, saying that any contract with them shall be held in force, notwithstanding the law. But Cicero again has made a decree that he will authorise no exaction above twelve percent in his province. The exact condition of the legal claim is less clear to me than to Mr. Forsythe, who has the advantage of being a lawyer. Be that as it may, Cicero decides that twelve percent shall be exacted, and orders the Salaminians to pay the amount. To his request they demur, but at last agree to obey, alleging that they are unable to do so by Cicero's own forbearance to them, Cicero having declined to accept the presence which had been offered to him from the island. They will therefore pay this money, in some sort, as they say, out of the governor's own pocket. But when the sum is fixed, Scapgeus, finding that he cannot get it overreckoned after some fraudulent scheme of his own, declines to receive it. If with the assistance of a friendly governor he cannot do better than that for himself and his employer, things must be going badly with Roman nobleman. But the delegates are now very anxious to pay this money and offer to deposit it. Scapgeus begs that the official go no further at present, no doubt thinking that he may drive a better bargain with some less rigid future governor. The delegates request to be allowed to place their money as paid in some temple, by doing which they would acquit themselves of all responsibility. But Cicero begs them to abstain. Impetravi absalamini sudsilerent, he says. I shall be grieved indeed that Brutus should be angry with me, he writes, but much more grieved that Brutus should have proved himself to be such as I to love found him. Then comes the passage in his letter on the strengths of which Mr. Forsythe has condemned Cicero, not without abstract truth in his condemnation. They indeed have consented, that is, the Salaminians, but what will befall them if some such governor as Paulus should come here? And all this I have done for the sake of Brutus. Emilius Paulus was the consul, and might probably have Cilicia as a province, and would no doubt give over the Salaminians to Brutus and his murmidons without any compunction. In strictness, with that assurance in the power of law by means of which our judges are unable to see that their righteous decision shall be carried out without detriment to themselves, Cicero should have caused the delegates from Salamis instantly to have deposited their money in the temple. Instead of doing so, he had only declared the amount due, according to his idea of justice, in opposition to all Romans even to Atticus, and had then consented to leave the matter as for some further appeal. Do we not know how impossible it is for a man to abide strictly by the right, when the strict right is so much in advance of all around him, as to appear to otherize than his own as straight-laced, unpractical, fantastic, and almost inhuman? Brutus wanted his money sorely, and Brutus was becoming a great political power, on the same side with Pompey and Cato, and the other optimates. Even Atticus was interfering for Brutus. What other Roman governor of whom he have heard would have made a question on the subject. Atticus had lend a guard of horse soldiers to this Scapitius, with which he had outraged all humanity in Cyprus, had caused the counsellors of the city to be shut up till they would come to obedience, in doing which he had starved five of them to death. Nothing had come of this, such being the way with the Romans in their provinces. Yet Cicero, who had come among these poor wretches as an unheard of blessing from heaven, is held up to scorn because he trifled with equity. Equity with us runs glibly on all falls. With Appius in Sicilia it was utterly unknown. What are we to say of the man who by the strength of his own conscience, and by the splendour of his own intellect, could advance so far out of the darkness of his own age, and bring himself so near to the light of ours? Let us think for a moment of our own Francis Bacon, a man more like to Cicero than any other that I can remember in history. They were both great lawyers, both statesmen, both men affecting the omniscibile, and coming nearer it perhaps than any other whom we can name. Both patriots true to their conceived idea of government, each having risen from obscure position to great power, to wealth, and to rank. Each, from his own education, and his nature, prone to compromise, intimate with human nature, not overscrupulous either as to others or as to himself. They were men intellectually above those around them, to a height of which neither of them was himself aware, to flattery, to admiration, to friendship and to love each of them was peculiarly susceptible. But one failed to see that it behoved him because of his greatness to abstain from taking what smaller men were grasping, while the other swore to himself from his very onset that he would abstain, and kept the oath which he had sworn. I am one who would fain forgive Bacon for doing what I believe that others did around him. But if I can find a man who never robbed, though all others around him did, in whose heart the auri sacrafames had been absolutely quenched, while the men with whom he had to live were sickening and dying with an unnatural craving, then I seem to have recognized a hero. Another complaint is made against Cicero as to Ariobarzanes, the king of Cappadocia, and is founded, as are all complaints against Cicero, on Cicero's own telling of the story in question. Why there should have been complaint in this matter I have not been able to discover. Ariobarzanes was one of those eastern kings who became Milch cows to the Roman nobles, and who in their efforts to satisfy the Roman nobles could only fleece their own subjects. The power of this king to raise money seems to have been limited to about eight thousand pounds a month. Out of this he offered a part to Cicero as the proconsul who was immediately over him. This Cicero declined, but pressed the king to pay the money to the extortionate Brutus, who was a creditor, and who endeavored to get this money through Cicero. But Pompey also was a creditor, and Pompey's name was more dreadful to the king than that of Brutus. Pompey therefore got it all, though we are told that it was not enough to pay him his interest. But Pompey, getting it all, was graciously pleased to be satisfied. Our Cicero puts up with that, and asks no questions about the capital. Says Cicero ironically. Pompey was too wise to kill the goose that laid such golden eggs. Nevertheless, we are told that Cicero, in this case, abused his proconsular authority in favor of Brutus. Cicero affected nothing for Brutus, but when there was a certain amount of plunder to be divided among the Romans, refused any share for himself. Pompey got it all, but not by Cicero's aid. There is another long letter in which Cicero again, for the third time, tells the story of Brutus and Scapteus. I mention it as he continues to describe his own mode of doing his work. He has been Laodicea from February to May, deciding questions that had been there brought before him from all parts of his province, except Cilicia proper. The cities which had been ground down by debt have been enabled to free themselves, and then to live under their own laws. This he has done by taking nothing from them for his own expenses, not a farthing. It is marvellous to see how the municipalities have sprung again into life under this treatment. He has been enabled by this to carry on justice without obstruction and without severity. Everybody has been allowed approach to him, a custom which has been unknown in the provinces. There has been no back stairs influence. He has walked open in his own courts, as he used to do when a candidate at home. All this has been grateful to the people, and much esteemed, nor has it been too laborious to himself, as he had learned the way of it in his former life. It was thus that Cicero governs Cilicia. There are further letters to Apius and Cilius, written from various parts of the province, which cannot fail to displease us, because we feel that Cicero is endeavouring to curry favour. He wishes to stand well with those who might otherwise turn against him on his reappearance in Rome. He is afraid lest Apius should be his enemy, and lest Pompey should not be his friend. The practice of justice and of virtue would, he knew, have much less effect in Rome than the friendship and enmity of such men. But to Atticus he bursts out into honest passion against Brutus. Brutus had recommended to him one Gavius, whom, to oblige Brutus, he appointed to some office. Gavius was greedy, and insolent when his greed was not satisfied. You have made me a prefect, said Gavius. Where am I to go for my rations? Cicero tells him that as he has done no work he will get no pay, whereupon Gavius, quite unaccustomed to such treatment, goes off in a half. If Brutus can be stirred by the anger of such a nave as this, he says to Atticus, you may love him if you will yourself. You will not find me a rival for his friendship. Brutus, however, became a favourite with Cicero, because he had devoted himself to literature. In judging these two men we should not lean too heavily on Brutus, because he did no worse than his neighbours. But then how are we to judge of Cicero? In the latter months of his government there began a new trouble in which it is difficult to sympathise with him, because we are unable to produce in our own minds a Roman's estimation of Roman things. With true spirit he had laughed at his own military doings at Pindinissum, but not the less on that account was he anxious to enjoy the glories of a triumph, and to be dragged through the city on a chariot with military trophies around him, as from time to time immemorial the Roman conquerors had been dragged when they returned from their victories. For the old barbaric conquerors this had been fine enough—a display of armour, of helmets, of shields, and of swords, a concourse of chariots, of trumpets, and of slaves, of victims kept for that hapean rock, the spoils and rapin of battle, the self-asserting glory of the big fighting hero, the pride of bloodshed and the boasting over fallen cities, had been fit for men who had in their hearts conceived nothing greater than military renown. Our sympathies go along with a Camilla, or a Scipio, steeped in the blood of Rome's enemies. A Marius, a Pompey, and again a few years afterwards a Caesar, were in their places as they were dragged along the Via Sacra, up to the capital, amidst the plaudits of the city, in commemoration of their achievements in arms. But it could not be so with Cicero. Conquedat laurea lingui had been the watchword of his life, let the ready tongue and the fertile brain be held in higher honour than the strong right arm. That had been the doctrine which he had practised successfully. To him it had been given to know that the lawyer's gown was Raymond worthy of a man than the soldier's breastplate. How then could it be that he should ask for so small a thing as a triumph, in reward for so small a deed as that done at Pindonissum? But it had become the way with all proconsuls who of late years had been sent forth from Rome into the provinces. Men to whose provincial government a few cohorts were attached aspired to be called Imperator by their soldiers after mock battles, and thought that as others had followed up their sham victories with sham triumphs it should be given to them to do the same. If Bibulus triumphed it would be a disgrace to Cicero not to triumph. We measure our expected rewards not by our own merits but by the good things which have been conceded to others. To have returned from Pindonissum and not to be allowed the glory of trumpets would be a disgrace in accordance with the theory then prevailing in Rome on such matters. Therefore Cicero demanded a triumph. In such a matter it was in accordance with custom that the general should send an immediate account of his victorious doings demand a supplication and have the triumph to be decreed to him or not after his return home. A supplication was in form a thanksgiving to the gods for the great favour shown by them to the state, but in fact took the guise of public praise bestowed upon the man by whose hands the good had been done. It was usually a reward for military success, but in the affair of Catiline a supplication had been decreed to Cicero for saving the city, though the service rendered had been of a civil nature. Cicero now applied for a supplication and obtained it. Cato opposed it and wrote a letter to Cicero explaining his motives upon high republican principles. Cicero might have endured this more easily had not Cato voted for a supplication in honour of Bibulus whose military achievements had, as Cicero thought, been less than his own. One heroess opposed it also, but in silence, having intended to allege that the numbers slain by Cicero in his battles were not sufficient to justify a supplication. We learned that according to strict rule two thousand dead men should have been left on the field. Cicero's victims had probably been much fewer. Nevertheless the supplication was granted, and Cicero presumed that the triumph would follow as a matter of course. Alas! there came grievous causes to interfere with the triumph. Of all that went on at Rome, Cicero continued to send Cicero accounts. The triumvirate was now over. Cicero says that Pompey will not attack Caesar openly, but that he does all he can to prevent Caesar from being elected consul before he shall have given up his province and his army. For details Cilius refers him to a commentarium, a word which has been translated as meaning newspaper in this passage by Melmoth. I think that there is no authority for this idea, and that the commentary was simply the compilation of Cilius, as were the commentaries we so well know, the compilation of Caesar. The Acta di Urna were published by authority and formed an official gazette. These no doubt reached Cicero, but were very different in their nature from the private record of things which he obtained from his friend. There are passages in Greek, in two letters written around this time to Atticus, which refer to the matter from which probably arose his quarrel with his wife and her divorce. He makes no direct allusion to his wife, but only to a freedman of hers, Philotomus. When Milo was convicted, his goods were confiscated and sold as part of his punishment. Philotomus is supposed to have been a purchaser, and to have made money out of the transaction, taking advantage of his position to acquire cheap bargains, as should not have been done by any one connected with Cicero, who had been Milo's friend. The cause of Cicero's quarrel with his wife has never been absolutely known, but it is supposed to have arisen from her want of loyalty to him in regard to money. She probably employed this freedman in filling her pockets at the expense of her husband's character. Sidenote, B.C. 50, I.T. 57 In his own letters he tells of preparations made for his return, and allusions are made as to his expected triumph. He is grateful to Cilius as to what has been done as to the supplication, and expresses his confidence that all the rest will follow. He is so determined to hurry away that he will not wait for the nomination of a successor, and resolves to put the government into the hands of any one of his officers who may be least unfit to hold it. His brother Quintus was his lieutenant, but if he left Quintus, people would say of him that, in doing so, he was still keeping the emoluments in his own hands. At last he determines to entrust it to a young choir store named Chios Cilius, no close connection of his friend Cilius, as Cicero finds himself obliged to apologize for the selection to his friend. Young, he will say, no doubt, but he had been elected choir store and is of noble birth. So he gives over the province to the young man, having no one else fitter. Cicero tells us afterwards, when at Athens on his way home, that he had considerable trouble with his own people on withholding certain plunder which was regarded by them as their perquisite. He had boasted much of their conduct, having taken exception to one Cilius who had demanded only a little hay and a little wood. But now there came to be pickings, savings out of his own proconsular expenses, to part with which at the last moment was too hard upon them. How difficult is our virtue, he exclaims, how doubly difficult to pretend to act up to it when it is not felt. There had been a certain sum saved which he had been proud to think that he would return to the treasury, but the satellites were all in arms, in gemuit nostra cohors. Nevertheless he disregarded the cohort and paid the money into the treasury. As to the sum thus saved, there has been a dispute which has given rise to some most amusing literary vituperation. The care with which manuscripts have been read now enables us to suppose that it was ten hundred thousand cisterces thus expressed, H S X, amounting to something over eight thousand pounds. We here elsewhere, as will be mentioned again, that Cicero realized out of his own legitimate allowance in Cilicia a profit of about eighteen thousand pounds, and we may imagine that the cohort should pink itself aggrieved in losing eight thousand, which they expected to have divided among them. Middleton has made a mistake, having supposed the X to be C I backward C, or M, a thousand instead of ten, and quotes the sum saved as having amounted to eight hundred thousand instead of eight thousand pounds. We who have had so much done for us by intervening research, and are but ill entitled to those excuses for error which may fairly be put forward on Middleton's behalf, should be slow indeed in blaming him for an occasional mistake, seeing how he has relieved our labours by infinite toil on his part. But De Quincey, who has been very rankerous against Cicero, has risen to a fury of wrath in his denunciation of Cicero's great biographer. Conyers Middleton, he says, is a name that cannot be mentioned without an expression of disgust. The cause of this was that Middleton, a benefaced clergyman of the Church of England and Cambridge man, differed from other Cambridge clergymen on controversial points and church questions. Bentley was his great opponent, and as Bentley was a stout fighter, so was Middleton. Middleton, on the whole, got the worst of it, because Bentley was the stronger combatant. But he seemed to have stood in good repute all his life, and when advanced in years was appointed Professor of Natural History. He is known to us, however, only as the biographer of Cicero. Of this book, Monk, the biographer of Middleton's great opponent, Bentley, declares that, for elegance, purity, and ease, Middleton's style yields to none in the English language. De Quincey says of it, that by weeding away from it whatever is colloquial, you would strip it of all that is characteristic, meaning, I suppose, that the work altogether wants dignity of composition. This charge is, to my thinking, so absolutely contrary to the fact that it needs only to be named to be confuted by the opinion of all who have read the work. De Quincey pounces upon the above-named error, with profoundest satisfaction, and tells us a pleasant little story about an old woman who thought that four million people had been once collected at Canavan. Middleton had found the figure wrongly deciphered and wrongly copied for him, and had translated it, as he found it, without much thought. De Quincey thinks that the error is sufficient to throw over all faith in the book. It is in the light of an evidence against Middleton's good sense and thoughtfulness that I regard it as capital. That is De Quincey's estimate of Middleton as a biographer. I regard him as a labourer who spared himself no trouble, who was enabled by his nature to throw himself with enthusiasm into his subject, who knew his work as a writer of English, and who, by a combination of erudition, intelligence, and industry, has left as one of those books of which it may truly be said that no English library should be without it. The last letter written by Cicero in Asia was sent to Atticus from Ephesus, the day before he started, on the last day, namely of September. He had been delayed by winds and by want of vessels large enough to carry him and his suite. News here reached him from Rome, news which was not true in its details, but true enough in its spirit. In a letter to Atticus he speaks of Miros Terores Caesarianos, dreadful reports as to outrages by Caesar, that he would by no means dismiss his army, that he had with him the Pritils elect one of the tribunes and even one of the consuls, and that Pompey had resolved to leave the city. Such were the first tidings presaging Farsalia. Then he adds the word about his triumph. Tell me what you think about this triumph which my friends desire me to seek. I should not care about it if Bibulus were not also asking for a triumph. Bibulus, who never put a foot outside his own doors as long as there was an enemy in Syria. Thus Cicero had to suffer untold misery, because Bibulus was asking for a triumph.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y25_iaiN_HM", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCFhEM_Jl3uKV6b8Ex4wbiFQ	Aliexpress Is Now Shipping Products From Israel! \| How To Use, Select Israeli Delivery	In a hugely significant move for Israel online shopping fanatics, the popular ecommerce retailer AliExpress - the B2C division of the Alibaba Group - has announced a pilot project in which it will be renting warehousing space in Airport City, near Ben Gurion Airport, and dispatching products directly to Israeli consumers. By shortening the logistics chain to final mile delivery, the move is expected to drastically reduce the shipping time for many of the items sold on Aliexpress from over a month to just a few days (delivery estimates for products I tested ranged from 3 to 10 days). User guide: when searching for products, change the 'ship from' filter to Israel. Pay attention that the product is dispatching from Israel and not China by noting the logistics offered and clicking on 'more options' if it's not dispatching from Israel. == Timestamps == Intro - 00:00 News coverage from Globes.co.il - 02:21 How to filter on products that deliver from Israel - 04:15 Changing from delivery ex-China to delivery ex-Israel by checking logistics options - 05:10 -- By: Daniel Rosehill == Contact Information === For latest contact information: https://www.youtube.com/c/DanielRosehillVideo/about Social media and more: https://www.danielrosehill.com == Licensing / syndication / reproduction == Unless otherwise indicated, all videos I distribute through YouTube are licensed under the following Creative Commons license: Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).

Very very exciting news recently as if the imminent arrival of car four in Israel wasn't big enough news. We now have Aliexpress apparently dispatching stuff locally from within Israel. Now if you don't know what Aliexpress is if you're lucky enough to have better e-commerce options it is a Chinese website it's the direct to consumer side of Alibaba so those who do business purchasing probably know Alibaba huge trade merchant merchant online marketplace and Aliexpress is sending stuff out of China out of the east direct to consumers. Now I've been using Aliexpress for seven years and I've bought literally thousands of products I do not exaggerate on the marketplace. It's a good website with the exception that the customer service is kind of non-existent almost but the main problem has been that it takes a long time to come to Israel. Nevertheless Israel a tiny country of only about 10 million people has emerged surprisingly as one of Aliexpress's main customer base and I think the reason for that it's a combination of frustration on the part of consumers with the high price of local goods the fact that Amazon does ship to Israel now but it's still a relatively small part of their inventory and it still only makes sense to ship certain things to Israel in other words the current free shipping to Israel after only starts from $49 so if you have if you want to buy a $20 item might have $15 shipping so it's still not really it's basically there's still a large disc a large gulf between the utility of Amazon in the USA especially using Amazon Prime and Israel so Israelis have emerged as a surprise huge customers of Aliexpress now we did see in the news a few months ago that Aliexpress were trying to improve their logistics to Israel because I think the volume of orders here took them by surprise and now we've seen more exciting news I'm just going to screw my microphone stand here that they are actually beginning to warehouse goods in Israel so I'm going to jump over here to the actual news coverage as reported on Globes somewhat recently this was reported here on the 11th of August Aliexpress opens warehouse warehouses in Israel the Chinese online retail giant has set up warehouses in airport city to store products insurance delivery times now for folks who don't know what what airport city is it's a commercial industrial park located right next to Ben Gurion airport which is Israel's main international airport in fact it's only one of about two really with the new Ramon airfield next to a lat so very logical place it means that Aliexpress can fly in air freight from the far east and then just bring it over to their fulfillment center in airport city literally a stones throw from the runway online retail giant Aliexpress owned by China's Alibaba group has been operating and just a little bit problematic the English here so I'm going to translate has been operating a pilot project in Israel in recent weeks by leasing warehouses at airport city near Ben Gurion airport and storing products for direct delivery in Israel the idea is to allow customers to order products online that are already stored in Israel the speed up delivery times blah blah blah now I've actually been noticing that there have been some products shipping from Israel for about a year now it's been now and again I see something that ships from Israel the difference is as far as I can tell some Israeli merchants were participating on Aliexpress but now Aliexpress the company is warehousing merchandise in Israel now let's jump over to Aliexpress and show you guys how to find stuff that ships to Israel right so I was looking for a another isolation shield for my lovely array of microphones so I said this would be a good little test case right so I've searched for let's just keep it simple pop filter microphone and now in Aliexpress we have the familiar minimum minimum minimum maximum price settings the very useful free shipping toggle and we now have a ship from option and what you need to do is go down and click on Israel now we're going to see our stock contracting a bit because it's a pilot and they don't have a ton of stuff store it here but let's take a look at a sample product we have a isolation booth here something very similar to the one I bought from amazon recently but a little bit cheaper now here's my warning to you guys right you may think well we've selected it ships to Israel so I'm just going to click buy now and it'll come from Israel in a few days instead of a month not the case you have to be careful see here under free shipping from China to Israel so this is by default still going to dispatch out of China so in order to change it to Israel we need to click under more options and have a look so this is what we're seeing now this is a very very early days of the trial so I don't want to be too hard on Aliexpress yet but this is kind of the classic conundrum of things that don't make sense to ship to Israel the shipping from Israel to Jerusalem where I live is 24 dollars and 55 cent on an item that's only 11 dollars right so that's an example of it doesn't make sense the shipping is more than the actual pop filter for some reason the price is changing I'm not 100 percent sure what's going on here but most of these options are still ex-China we have DHL as usual being the most expensive option at 95 dollars and we have tracking options for FedEx for 68 dollars but the dispatch out of Israel option is 25 dollars rounding up so let's try a smaller item because these you know pop filters are pretty bulky a lot of fairly heavy bit of metal in them let's just go for a more simple consumer purchase of bluetooth earphones same thing is going to happen here it's not going to remember your shipping preference so you want to go over and click on Israel and then we're going to filter and then as before our options are becoming smaller let's just take this I'm going to go for 20 dollar product so it's not hopefully complete rubbish bluetooth earphone qualcomm again same thing happens here from China to Israel via DHL that's the free shipping method so once again I need to click into more options and now we actually have free shipping ex-israel so this is one of the items that you can get for free from Israel and I'm not sure what the delivery times are going to be it says here estimated delivery four to ten days as opposed to typically in my long experience buying aliexpress products from Israel I'd say a month is I've had some outliers come in 10 days but a month or longer is typical so that's a much shorter delivery time and it's going to be delivered we're going to skip the whole air freight aspect from China to Israel and we're just going to do final mile delivery in Israel so that should significantly speed up things now I did find a couple of things that had nominal relatively nominal shipping fees shipping fees ex-israel so I want to show one of those items too here is a cheaper in you know one of these wireless earphone things for about five bucks and actually we have $7 shipping here from Israel to Jerusalem $7.37 that's an untracked shipping method so I want to caution that it's early very early days in the trial here and this didn't from the news coverage it read more like this is a pilot project and something definite they're currently renting a warehouse space in airport city more importantly from the consumer standpoint I'm buying an aliexpress change the ship option to Israel you're going to filter on products that will ship to Israel and then you're a but then you have to make sure that it's actually shipping using an Israeli delivery method and not ex-China because you have to do that second step too there are completely free shopping is free shipping options all within Israel which is a very big deal this is the first time I've seen it in aliexpress and there's some of some of them are costing more and some of them are costing enough that it's it makes more sense to just get it from China as usual and wait that month period for it to write to your home in Israel if you're looking at buying stuff on aliexpress in Israel I hope this video was interesting this is a pretty big development living in Israel is getting easier and the more international companies decide to sell here more competition on in the local market and hopefully gonna lead to better consumer prices for all of us thank you guys for watching if you do want to get more videos for me about living in Israel subscribe check out the living in Israel playlist which is where I aggregate

UCMfSH3HULOeoeEbxHkqF21A	Ministerial Statement - Scottish Parliament: 23rd February 2016	http://www.scottish.parliament.uk - Scottish Parliament. Ministerial Statement: Update on Fiscal Framework We do not facilitate discussions on our YouTube page but encourage you to share and comment on our videos on your own channels. If you would like to join in our conversations please follow @scotparl on Twitter or like us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/scottishparliament	[ "Holyrood", "Scottish-Parliament", "Scotland", "Scottish-Politics", "MSPS", "MSP", "Edinburgh" ]	2016-02-23T16:33:27	2024-02-05T08:38:57	1,874	y2ZMBvJ3g9M	time to spend with their patients. Surely that is something all of us can agree on. Thank you. That ends topical questions. The next item of business is a statement by Nicola Sturgeon on an update on the fiscal framework. The First Minister will take questions at the end of her statement, and there should be therefore no interventions or interruptions. I'll call on Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister, about 10 minutes. I want to take this opportunity to update Parliament on the progress of the negotiations to agree a fiscal framework to accompany the Scotland Bill. Over recent days, we have continued to work with the UK Government to secure a fair deal. I am determined that this work should continue for as long as necessary to secure agreements, subject of course to the views of the Devolution Further Powers Committee and Parliament as a whole. The Deputy First Minister updated the Devolution Committee this morning, and he will update the Finance Committee tomorrow. It has always been our intention to allow Parliament adequate time to consider and scrutinise any agreement. In the continued absence of such an agreement, I think that it is right that I explain to Parliament why our discussions have not yet reached a satisfactory conclusion. As members know, for the new powers contained in the Scotland Bill to be delivered, a fair fiscal framework has to be agreed between the Scottish and UK Governments. That framework will determine how the powers proposed by the Smith commission can be used and so it is as important, if not more so, than the Scotland Bill itself. In setting out the current position on the fiscal framework, I want to remind Parliament of the key principles set out by the Smith commission. The Smith commission said that the Barnett formula should continue to determine the size of the block grant. That is the benchmark against which all the proposals for the block grant adjustment should be assessed. Crucially, Lord Smith set out his interpretation of the principle of no detriment, that Scotland's budget should be no larger or smaller simply as a result of devolution. That means, in my view, that if tax policy and economic performance in Scotland remain the same as in the rest of the UK, then the Scottish budget should be no better or worse off than it would have been under the Barnett formula had tax powers not been devolved. Equally, the rest of the UK should be no better or worse off either. That is about the appropriate transfer of risk and responsibility. We have always accepted that if the Scottish Government changes tax policy or if our economic performance diverges from the rest of the UK, then the costs and benefits of that should fall to the Scottish budget. However, if nothing changes, if tax policy remains the same and we match UK economic performance, then our overall budget should not change either. That embodies the Smith principle of economic responsibility. The Scottish Government has engaged constructively in those negotiations. Since March last year, there have been 10 meetings between the Deputy First Minister and the Chief Secretary to the Treasury through the Joint Exchequer Committee. The Deputy First Minister has also discussed the issue with the Chancellor of the Exchequer and I have also discussed it with the Chancellor and the Prime Minister. As a result of all those discussions, I am pleased to advise Parliament that we have now reached or are close to reaching an agreed position on all of the main issues other than the block grant adjustment mechanism. For example, on the financial transfers required to meet implementation and administration costs, we have reached what I think is a fair resolution. On capital and resource borrowing, we have made good progress on ensuring that the Scottish Government will be able to manage tax volatility and economic shocks while also securing additional flexibility to invest in infrastructure. Getting to this point, of course, has required compromise on both sides. However, I believe that we have secured results that are fair to Scotland and to the UK and which reflect the recommendations of the Smith commission. The key issue on which we have not yet reached agreement is the block grant adjustment. The Scottish Government has considered a number of proposals put forward by the UK Government, all of which would deliver detriment to the Scottish budget. The method of adjusting the block grant that the Scottish Government has proposed per capita indexed deduction would deliver no detriment as set out by the Smith commission. Per capita index deduction is predictable, transparent and sustainable. It guarantees the outcome of no detriment regardless of changes in Scotland's population share. It is considered to be the best way of delivering no detriment by distinguished economists such as Professor Anton Muscatelli and by the STUC. It also has the support of many members across this chamber and of the Finance Committee of this Parliament and the Scottish Affairs Committee of the House of Commons. In proposing per capita index deduction, we have listened to concerns from the UK Government about its implications for the second Smith principle, taxpayer fairness. As a result, we amended our proposal to ensure that Scotland would not benefit from any changes to devolved taxes in the rest of the UK. In summary, the proposal that we put forward guarantees no detriment to taxpayers, both in Scotland and in the rest of the UK. However, we remain unable to reach an agreement with the UK Government on the issue. The reason in my view for that is not just that we have a difference of opinion on how to reach an agreed outcome. It is more that we have a difference of opinion about the outcome that we are seeking to achieve. In short, the UK Government does not share our interpretation of the principle of no detriment. Our interpretation of no detriment is, as I have set out, and I think that it shares widespread support across Scotland. The UK Government's view is that, in the years following the transfer of powers, the Scottish budget should bear detriment as a result of relatively slower population growth, even though we are gaining no new powers to influence population growth. On a positive note, the UK Government has now signalled some movement towards our position. The Treasury has now offered to deliver on a transitional basis a no detriment outcome for the period up to 2021-22. That would be achieved by annual adjustments to a Treasury proposed methodology rather than by our preferred method of per capita index deduction. However, given that it would deliver exactly the same outcome as PCID, we would be prepared to accept that as significant and welcome progress. However, the key remaining question is what happens at the end of that five-year period. In my view, that is now the only substantive issue standing in the way of agreement. Both Governments are prepared to agree a review after five years, but we do not yet agree on what the purpose of that review should be. The Scottish Government considers that the review should be to reach agreement on a longer-term block grant adjustment method that delivers results consistent with the Smith commission's recommendations, including the principle of no detriment that I have set out. We have put forward a proposal on this basis and discussions continue. However, so far it has appeared that, as far as the UK Government is concerned, the purpose of the review would be to decide how, not if, but how we move to a position where the Scottish budget starts to bear population-driven detriment. The Treasury has, over the last couple of days, been suggesting that if we cannot reach agreement on how to do that, there would be an automatic default to their preferred comparability model of block grant adjustment without the transitional arrangements that deliver no detriment continuing in place. I am well aware that that all sounds highly technical, and it is technical, but it also has very real implications for Scotland's budget over the medium and longer term. I want to spell out today what those implications would be. If we were to agree the Treasury's preferred approach, then, over the 10 years from the end of the transitional period in 2022, Scotland's budget would be reduced systematically compared to Barnett by a cumulative total of £2.5 billion. That reduction would happen even if Scotland's tax rates and economic performance matched the UK's 100 per cent. None of us know exactly what the world will look like in future. It is no secret that I hope that Scotland will become an independent country in future. However, I could not reach agreement in the full and certain knowledge that, if current constitutional arrangements remain in place, the deal will deliver an on-going substantial and systematic cut to Scotland's budget relative to the Barnett formula after just a single parliamentary term. That would not live up to Smith because it would not protect the Barnett formula, and therefore I think that it would be a clear breach of the vow. The Treasury's approach would instead see the UK Government extract a significant price in return for the powers that Scotland was promised. The only concession that it would be making is that it will give us five years before it starts collecting the payments. The powers that Scotland was promised did not have a price tag attached to them when the vow was made. The vow was made freely and unconditionally. The question remains, will it now be delivered? I continue to hope that it will be. I want these new powers, whether or not we get a deal that I have made clear that I will publish a manifesto that sets out what we would do with those new powers. My Government will continue to work to secure agreement for as long as this Parliament allows us to do so. Indeed, even as we speak, discussions are on-going with the Treasury in an attempt to secure movement and find agreement. However, given that the vow was signed by the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister established the Smith commission, I am writing to David Cameron to suggest that, if agreement cannot be reached with the Treasury, he and I should seek to resolve the matter directly between us. Let me be clear. I am prepared to sign up to a deal that includes a transitional arrangement followed by a fair review. First, the review is governed by a shared and continuing commitment to the principles of Smith, including the principle of no detriment that I have set out. Secondly, there is no assumption of a longer-term adoption of a model that delivers population-driven detriment or any suggestion of an automatic default to such a model in the event that no agreement is reached. However, I will not sign up to a systematic cut to Scotland's budget, whether that cut is being applied now or by a pre-judged review in five years time. I can't advise the chamber that, within the last hour, we have received further proposals from the Treasury, which we will now take time to consider. It will be the test that I have set out that we will judge those proposals against and take a reasonable view of them. Presiding Officer, I am grateful for the opportunity to have updated Parliament today. I think that it was appropriate that I did so. I hope that the Scottish Government will have the full support of Parliament in seeking to secure, even at this 11th hour, a deal that is fair to Scotland and that lives up to the promise that was made to the Scottish people. I will now take questions on the issues raised in the First Minister's statement. No, the First Minister will take the questions on the issues raised in her statement, not me. I intend to allow 20 minutes for questions after which we move on to the next item of business. It would be helpful if members who wish to ask a question of the First Minister would press a request speak button now. I thank the First Minister for an advanced copy of her speech. We in the Scottish Labour Party support the First Minister fully as she works to secure a good and fair deal for Scotland in these negotiations. That means securing the new powers on top of those already transferred and protecting the Barnett formula. The message should go out from everyone in this chamber today that we stand behind Barnett and for Scotland. There is a month until this Parliament dissolves and the business of government gives way to campaigning. While it is disappointing that we do not have a deal on the fiscal framework, the First Minister makes clear that she wants that deal, a fair deal in line with the principles of Smith, a position that we absolutely support. Will she assure this Parliament that she and her deputy John Swinney will stay at the table however long it takes to secure those powers for Scotland, powers that the majority of people in Scotland want for Scotland? First Minister, I thank Alec Rowley for his questions. I first of all thank him for the support that he has expressed today for the Scottish Government's position. I made it clear in my statement and I make it clear that I want a deal and I am prepared to stay at the table and the Deputy First Minister is prepared to stay at the table for as long as it takes to get a deal. Of course it is up to this Parliament to decide how long it would require to scrutinise such a deal before giving legislative consent to the Scotland Bill prior to dissolution and that is a decision not for me as First Minister, that is a decision for the devolution for the powers committee and of course ultimately for the Parliament as a whole. It should be said and this is an obvious point I am about to make that every day that passes now without a deal is a day less that the Scottish Parliament will have to apply that scrutiny and that is the position that I think everybody will understand. I hope that we can get a deal as I said in my statement and apologies that this was not in the advance copy of the statement but the proposal came in after I circulated that. We have now received some additional proposals from the Treasury, we will consider them, I very much hope that they will move us closer to that deal but as I have said, while I want a deal I am not prepared to sign up to a deal that is unfair to Scotland and does not deliver on the promises made. If I was to sign up to what has been on the table from the Treasury in recent days then frankly the Scottish people should be seriously displeased at that. I will not as First Minister sign up to a deal that systematically cuts Scotland's budget. Ruth Davidson, I thank the First Minister for early sight of her statement. I am encouraged to hear that on capital borrowing financial transfers an agreement has been concluded and it is good to hear the First Minister's confirmation in her statement that both sides are close in agreement on the fiscal framework and an acknowledgement of the movement of the Treasury throughout this process. As I said last week, I wanted both sides to go the extra mile in order to reach an agreement and it seems that we have substantially less distance to travel now. I am sure that the First Minister's proposals in her statement on the question of her view will be considered and I trust and believe that they will be examined without prejudice by the UK Government. Following the update from the Treasury in the last hour, I understand that the Chancellor is hoping to speak to the First Minister directly as soon as possible and I am pleased that that is taking place. Will the First Minister still work to find a compromise with the UK Government on the question of how her review is conducted over the coming hours? I have always been willing to compromise. The Deputy First Minister has compromised in getting us to the position that we are in now. If we get a deal, as I hope we do, and when Parliament begins to scrutinise the deal, the evidence of that compromise on a whole range of issues will be clear. I have also said that I will not compromise on the principle of no detriment. Once we compromise on that principle, we compromise on the delivery of the promise that was made to the Scottish people. That is what I will not compromise on. The willingness of the Scottish Government to compromise has already been clear from the fact that I have signalled that we would accept a transitional arrangement, which is not going to be based on our preferred model, but because it delivers the same outcome as our preferred model, we will compromise on that. However, the principle underpinning the outcome of no detriment to the Scottish budget is the key one, and that is the principle. I do not think that the Scottish people should be prepared to allow me or the Deputy First Minister to compromise on that. Thank you, Presiding Officer. First Minister, four out of five parties in Smith, the STUC and almost all respected independent academic experts have argued for the per capita index deduction method as a means of ensuring that Scotland does not face a huge loss of income right from the start. First Minister, I am glad that you have said today that there is progress in the discussions that are on-going, but agreement is still to be achieved and the clock is ticking towards the solution. The Prime Minister might have had other things on his mind of late, but does the First Minister agree with me that it is high time that he got himself fully engaged in the discussions to guarantee that his so-called vow is delivered? I think that Bruce Buffard is right to outline the breadth of support that there is for the Scottish Government's position. Let me say, though, that what has mattered and will continue to matter to the Scottish Government is the outcome that we reach. We have put forward a proposal that we think best delivers that outcome, but it is the outcome rather than the precise root to the outcome that is the most important thing of all. In terms of the Prime Minister, I hope that we can reach agreement with the Treasury and I hope that we can do that sooner rather than later. I spoke to the Prime Minister by telephone a couple of weeks ago. I think that it is entirely understandable that he has been engaged in other matters over the last week or so, but I am very clear that if we do not manage to reach agreement on the key issue of principle with the Treasury, then it will be incumbent on the Prime Minister to step in and with me seek to reach an agreement that delivers the promise that he made. I would simply remind the chamber and the wider public that the promise that we are talking about right now, the vow that we are talking about is not my vow, it is the Prime Minister's vow, and I think that it is incumbent on him to deliver it. I welcome the First Minister's statement and support her and the Deputy First Minister in working to secure the best deal for Scotland. I agree that there can be no compromise on that fundamental principle of no detriment. The First Minister is right to underline the importance of Barnett transfers to the funding of Scottish public services. I ask her what analysis does the Scottish Government have of the value of Barnett to Scottish spending? While we remain in the current constitutional arrangements, it is accepted by all of us that Barnett should continue. That was the basis of the vow that was made. Once we get to a point where we have either a deal or where we do not have a deal in time for the end of this parliamentary session, as the Deputy First Minister has already said, we will publish all of the analysis and all of the correspondence that has underpinned those negotiations. In a sense, let us not get away from the key issue here. Barnett and the continuation of Barnett and the benchmarking of all those proposals against Barnett was the promise that was made. It was the continuation of the Barnett formula that was emblazoned all over the front page of the daily record. Therefore, it is right that we judge proposals against it. Will the First Minister follow by Linda Fabiani? Thank you, Presiding Officer. I thank the First Minister for her advanced sight of her statement. I want the First Minister to stick to the Scottish position. This morning, John Swinney told the committee that there was a fundamental difference. I am not sure what has changed within four hours, where there now seems to be a compromise agreement based on the Treasury model that she disagrees with so fundamentally. It is the point that John Swinney has been making for a number of weeks now. If she says that it makes no difference for five years, then why, if she sticks to the Scottish position, we can enter the uncertainty of the review in five years' time from a strong position, rather than based on the Treasury model? Why is she asking us to abandon the fundamental principle of the model that she has been promoting for the last few weeks? Why is that the case? I have made clear that what I want to deliver is an outcome of no detriment. What is on the table for a transitional period would deliver that outcome. That is significant progress and significant movement from the Treasury. If we are to have a review, it is vital that it is a review that is not prejudiced or prejudiced in advance and that it is not based on an assumption that we then revert in the absence of agreement to a comparability model that would deliver detriment. That is the continuation of that application of principle. That is what will continue to guide the Scottish Government. I hope that the Treasury continues to move towards that position, and we will make our judgment on whether the deal that is on the table is a deal that delivers that fundamental principle of no detriment. First Minister, during the Smith process, there were certain principles that were in fact key. I and others in this chamber can confirm that the principle of no detriment was one of those key principles. Can you confirm, First Minister, that the approach taken by the Scottish Government will continue to reflect reasonableness, fairness and no detriment to Scotland? No detriment is the principle that we have insisted on all along, and it is the principle that we will continue to insist on. No detriment, as I have set out, is not trying to avoid the responsibility of new powers. Under the principle of no detriment that we set out, we would take the responsibility of exercising tax policy and of matching UK economic performance. That is not insignificant, but what we will not do is take on the responsibility over population change that we do not have the powers to determine. The principle of no detriment drives everything that we have done and will continue to drive the position that we take. Mark McDonough full by Jenny Marra. I thank the First Minister for her statement, and while it is encouraging to see progress being made, there is obviously concern that the Treasury seems to view the fiscal framework as a means by which to cut the budget of Scotland in the longer term. Does the First Minister believe that the approach being taken by the Treasury thus far matches the so-called respect agenda that the Prime Minister has so often spoken of? As I said in my statement, a promise was made. It was made freely, it was made unconditionally, it did not have a two or a three or however many billion pounds price tag attached to it, but the approach that has been taken thus far would see in return for the devolution of those powers, the Scottish budget being cut by a significant amount over a period of time. I do not think that that is either showing respect or delivering the promise that was made. We have seen some movement of this so that we are now in a position where that principle of no detriment is being agreed for in a transitional period, but we have to make sure that any review after that transitional period is also based on that important principle of no detriment. Jenny Marra, followed by Alex Salmond. Clearly, this Parliament wants to see a deal as soon as possible. Bruce Crawford referred to dissolution of the fast approaching in his question to the First Minister. Is the First Minister prepared to negotiate on behalf of the Scottish people beyond dissolution if that takes a bit longer? First Minister? Let's concentrate on trying to negotiate to a successful conclusion in advance of dissolution. If we cannot do that, then certainly it will be for the Scottish people to express their view in a democratic election. I am negotiating now in good faith and negotiating in good faith to try to seek an agreement that will allow the powers that were promised. It is no secret. I do not think that the powers that are on the table go as far as they should. I do not think that they go as far as the promise, but they are what are on the table right now. It is absolutely essential that the UK Government lives up to the promise to deliver them. I will focus on trying to secure that agreement before dissolution so that we can get into the position that this Parliament was told that it would be in. Alex Salmond, followed by Rob Gibson. Can I join the Scottish Labour Party in giving full support to the First Minister's position? There are no sides in this, only Scotland's side. The Prime Minister recently secured a pre-referendum commitment from 20 other seven other heads of state around Europe as to what would happen after a European referendum. Hadn't he better hoped that they keep their pledge to him rather better than he thus far has kept his vow to Scotland? That is an important point. The Prime Minister is going to be campaigning over the next few months in a referendum where he is going to ask people to put faith in the commitments that he has made, commitments that were gained by him through the recent negotiations. I do not think that it would be helpful to what he wants to achieve in the forthcoming referendum, which is the same thing that I want to see achieved in the forthcoming referendum, albeit that we have come at it from different perspectives, if people are going to see in this context that his word given freely during a referendum campaign cannot be trusted. First Minister stressed the principles of no detriment. Will the First Minister apply to the multimillion-pound costs of setting up the administration of Scottish welfare powers, which could take several years to work? The Deputy First Minister told the Devolution Committee this morning that the Treasury's best offer on set-up costs for welfare is a figure below the DWP's own estimate for the costs of setting up welfare. Can the First Minister confirm that this is an example of an area where the Scottish Government has been more than reasonable in those negotiations? Yes, I think that that will be borne out as we get into the scrutiny, hopefully of a deal, or indeed the scrutiny of why there isn't a deal. The Smith commission, of course, said that we should be paid a fair share of the cost of setting up the set-up of new responsibilities. We have compromised here, as we have compromised in a whole range of areas in order to get to a deal that we think is fair and reasonable. That fairness and reasonableness approach is the one that we will continue to take. However, what we cannot compromise on are core principles. No detriment is a core principle, and that is why we have put it so central to the entire discussion. Will Parliament be properly able to scrutinise the proposed transitional arrangement in the past few weeks of this session and, following the suggested transitional period, who will be involved in any review? Will this Parliament and wider Scotland be more involved than it has been to date? I want Parliament to have the ability to fully scrutinise all aspects of any deal that is forthcoming. That is why notwithstanding what I have said about being prepared to stay at the table for as long as it takes, I am also very mindful of the fact that every day that we remain at the table is a day less for Parliament to perform that essential scrutiny role. In terms of Alison Johnston's question about who will undertake the review, all of those things are matters that remain under discussion in terms of seeking to ensure that we can get to a principle and an outcome that satisfies the test that I have set out. However, I want this Parliament, and I am absolutely sure that this Parliament wants this Parliament to have adequate time to properly scrutinise the outcome of this negotiation ahead of a vote on a legislative consent motion. The First Minister has previously said that the Scottish Government would put proposals on the table based on per capita index reduction but tweaked to ensure that, if the rest of the UK increased tax rates and spend it on the rest of the UK services, none of that money would come to Scotland. Can the First Minister confirm that that delivers on the second no-detriment principle, sometimes referred to as the taxpayer fairness principle? Yes. The proposal that we put forward originally of per capita index deduction, the UK Government said that that, in their view, would not meet the second Smith principle of taxpayer fairness. We therefore modified that proposal to take account of that. The proposal that we had put forward satisfies both the principle of no-detriment and the principle of taxpayer fairness. Let me repeat that it is the principles that we are seeking to satisfy, and it is the principles that we will continue to seek to achieve in the remainder of the negotiations. Professor Anter and Muscatelli and others have put estimates in the public debate of how much the different methods of indexation would cut Scotland's budget by ranging from £7 billion to around £2.5 billion. Can the First Minister tell the chamber if the UK Government has, at any point, put an option on the table that delivers Smith's proposals of no-detriment or have the only ever put options on the table that would see Scotland's budget being cut? Until recently, all of the proposals that were put forward by the UK Government would have delivered detriment. To be fair to the UK Government, I do not think that it is trying to hide that to any great extent. It is being fairly explicit that it thinks that Scotland's budget should suffer detriment. I am sure that it would not articulate it in this way, but it would suffer detriment because of relatively slower population growth. That has changed in the past few days, where, as I said in my statement, we now have a proposal on the table that would guarantee no-detriment for a transitional period with the potential of a review. However, it is whether we can get an agreement or a review that would continue to ensure that no-detriment would be the guiding or a-guiding principle is one of the issues that we continue to see if we can resolve. Thank you. That ends the statement from the First Minister on the fiscal statement. The next item of business is a debate on motion number 15645. In the name of Christine Grahame on Scotland's national action plan for human rights, I will give a few moments for the chamber to settle.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2ZMBvJ3g9M", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It happens sometimes and you just have to learn from these mistakes! #ebayreseller #ebayloss	[ "selling on ebay", "ebay seller", "reselling on ebay", "what sells on ebay", "how to sell on ebay", "ebay for beginners", "ebay seller tips", "how to make money on ebay", "ebay business", "how to sell on ebay without getting scammed", "what sells on ebay 2021" ]	2021-08-17T16:00:25	2024-04-18T18:37:21	734	y2v1BFveYi4	What's up everyone? Take down here. As you guys know, I'm a Canadian eBay reseller and right now I'm going to be trying to release a new video every two weeks. That's my goal right now. I've been making some pretty good profit on eBay and I love sharing these experience with you guys and sharing a whole bunch of different stuff. So whether it's stuff where I'm sharing my recent sales or my experiences with eBay, hopefully a new video every two weeks. Today I'm going to be talking about some of my most recent eBay sales once again, which isn't much because there's been a two week period where I didn't have a single sale and a few sales have just been starting up. But not a lot of profit, but I think I'm still going to mention that. Along with an item that I purchased two months ago, I finally am almost at the point of listing it and I'll explain why shortly, along with my first loss on eBay. Let's get right into this. So let's start off with the item that I purchased two months ago that I'm finally at the points of almost being able to list it. And that is the Xbox 360E console that I purchased a while back that I purchased for $25. Now I didn't even check it over. I just gave her the $25, grabbed the bag and headed home. Once I got home, I realized there was some issues with it. The first one, the main one is it reaps of cigarette smoke and I obviously was not going to list it because I didn't want to return and it took over two months for the cigarette smoke to leave the console. It was crazy. I tried everything, but finally the cigarette smoke is gone and the console is cleans. Now I tested it. Everything works great. It evolved the games that I ended up getting with it. Only three were salvageable because some of them, the cigarette smoke was all over the label and everything and there's no way I was going to get that off. Plus some of the games themselves didn't even work. So I saved three games out of the lot that I bought. The only other issue I had with this console was the controller. One of the analog sticks seemed to be broken a little bit and at the back the battery pack also was broken. I ended up finding on eBay, there's another Canadian eBay reseller that sells these replacement parts and it only cost me $5 each free shipping. So total spent right now with replacement parts and the 25 already spent was a total of $35 invested in this console. Once I get these replacement parts the only thing left I have to do is open up the controller, replace both analog sticks. I'm assuming the other one's either a little worn or dirty so I'm just going to replace both so they look new and also replace the battery pack and then test everything once again, make sure everything works and then list it on eBay and possibly Facebook Marketplace as well. Now back whenever I talked about this, whenever I first purchased it, I believe I stated that I think it was going to sell for around $200. Realistically I think it's going to sell between $100 and $150, possibly somewhere in the middle or near the low ends, but still on a $35 investment if it does sell for even $100 that is still some pretty decent profit now. If I sell it on Facebook Marketplace I don't have to deal with claiming it on taxes, I don't have to deal with fees or shipping so that's a better alternative, but if it does sell on eBay I still will accept it because it still is some great profit. So once I have it fully repaired and make sure it works and once I have it listed I'll update you guys in the future once it does sell and I'll break down the profit that I earned on this item. So now for some of my recent eBay sales there's only been three because there was a two week period where I didn't sell a single thing so let's just get started here with the three recent eBay sales. The first one is two Star Wars games for the PlayStation 3. Now the buyer did message me at first saying he did not want to pay what I was charging for shipping because he thought it was too high. Now originally I was going to be shipping these both together inside a box with tracking which does cost a little bit more. I basically just messaged him back and said I do have a cheaper alternative but it's going to be without tracking, shipping them individually two separate packages inside a poly bubble mailer and that would be $3.19 each which he accepted that. So I ended up selling them and for total profit after fees and shipping was $15 on both of these video games. Now for these games it doesn't sound like a lot of profit but I'm just glad to get them gone because they've been sitting here for quite a long time. The next game is actually one that has been sitting a lot longer back whenever I did start reselling things a lot more I think possibly even back in 2020s whenever I purchased this video game lots and it was included. I think it's one of the final games that I have left from that lots but it's an Xbox game that is a dual racing game. Two separate games on it I think one is a regular GT game and then the other one is a futuristic racing game. I know absolutely nothing about these games I just seen that they were hopefully going to sell but it took a long time to do so. Now after fees and shipping this game here I walked away with $12 profit which was a lot more than I expected to make on this game because it sat forever I was actually going to be sending out a lot more offers lately but somebody finally bought it for full ask in price so $12 profit on this item I'll take it. Next is one of the cheap packs of mystery hockey cards that I sell on eBay. These ones here normally I don't sell them too often especially when somebody buys just one it's not a lot of profit for me. This one here they only purchased one it was $1.50 that I ended up getting in my pocket. Now because I'm not saying profit the reason for that is because most of these cards are ones that came from my personal collection that I acquired over the years so I don't know really roughly what I spent on them but it's $1.50 in my pocket. Usually these hockey cards I honestly just give them away whenever some of my more expensive mystery packs or my individual cards sell I'll just include them in the package as well just as a thank you but whenever somebody buys just one it's only $1.50 but if somebody buys 10 that's a little bit more profits that is a lot doable and a lot better in my opinion but lately people have just been buying one at a time which honestly isn't even worth my time and I actually have one more I actually forgot about this one and that is another PlayStation 3 game called 007 another James Bond game and this one here after fees and shipping was $20 profit which was amazing for this game I have a couple more that I have to list that hopefully will be around the same amount of profits but in my opinion this James Bond game was perfect addition because the past two weeks have been slow sales $20 profit on one game is definitely really really amazing in my opinion but now I guess it's finally time to talk about my first loss on eBay if you guys remember a while back I did buy a lot of beanie boo plush and I thought they're going to be very profitable I purchased the whole lot for $45 and I thought I was going to get more sales and make a lot more profit on these items that unfortunately hasn't happened they sat for a long time I listed them on eBay no sales finally one sold most of them are six inch plush the one that sold was a nine inch plush it did end up fitting the cheapest alternative was putting it inside a poly bag so it fit in one that I had now the buyer paid $8 for the plush plus $10 to have it shipped it cost me $20 plus tax to have this item shipped because of just the size of it alone and that's within Canada I ended up paying it even though it was a loss I ended up wanting to just give the person the plush anyways now after fees that's a loss of about $5 now even though that's not a lot a loss is a loss right immediately as soon as I got home I took all the plush down off of eBay there's no point of me even thinking about selling them on eBay because it cost just too much to have them shipped now I ended up listing them on Facebook marketplace but for the past few days I've had no bites on them I listed the small ones for about $5 each and the bigger ones for about $7 each but still no bites I see a lot of lots on there right now between $20 to $40 for about the same amounts that I have so if they don't sell within about the next six weeks I think I'm just gonna donate them that is going to be a loss of $45 plus already lost $5 so that's a loss of $50 but still I have no time or patience to keep them in a death pile I might as well just take the loss move forward and buy other things that I know are gonna be profitable so this in my opinion is more of a learning experience I decided to get out of my comfort zone and purchase something that I thought might be profitable that I knew nothing about turned out to not be so now I know plushies for me is just not something that I'm gonna be looking for in the future I'm gonna stick with what I know video games and different things like that these sold comps on some of these plushies looked amazing but they're just not selling like I thought they would I might just end up donating them and taking the loss so I think that just about does it for today's video the only other thing that I want to mention is some of my inventory I'm gonna start listing it on Facebook Marketplace some of it not all of it some of it I know will do better on eBay and I'll make more profit that way even after fees and shipping but some of it I think I'll be able to sell for more profits locally on Facebook Marketplace one of the PlayStation 3 consoles the 120 gigabyte one that I had listed on eBay for a really long time I listed on Facebook Marketplace and it sold within two days for $115 which is about $30 to $40 profit for that lot which was amazing it sold quick and it sold for what I was asking for it now for some of my more expensive consoles my bigger gigabyte capacity or some of my newer modeled PlayStation 3's I honestly don't know if I'm gonna sell or list them on eBay because they might do better on now some of my other consoles that have more gigabytes or a new now some of my other consoles that have more gigabytes or are a newer model I might not list them on Facebook Marketplace because even after fees and shipping they might do better on eBay but I might list them and see what happens on Facebook as well if you guys remember a while back at shoppers drug merit I ended up purchasing a bunch of video games that they had on clearance for $5 each I ended up listing them a while back after I bought them on eBay and they sat there forever I ended up listening on Facebook Marketplace all together saying $10 each game somebody bought them all all six games for $50 so right now right there I'm at $25 for all if you guys remember a while back I went to shoppers drug merit and bought a bunch of video games that were sealed brand new for $5 each on clearance I listed them at the time on eBay and none of them sold I think one actually might have sold a Batman game but all the other ones just sat there for a really long time I ended up listing the final six ones that I had on eBay I also ended up listing on E I also ended up listing on Facebook Marketplace the sealed brand new PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 games that I purchased from shoppers drug merit for $5 each on clearance and I sold them for great profit as well I'll talk about those in future videos but I am making a little bit more sales and a lot more profit on Facebook because eBay has been really slow lately so who knows I'll continue doing both but I might have to change things up and only list certain items on certain platforms moving forward I hope you guys enjoyed today's video I know we're all over the board talking about a lot of different things that have been happening recently and different sales and things that have been happening with me with my eBay but hope you guys enjoyed it nonetheless I'm gonna leave this video here please take care peace	{ "url":

finished all the tie-dye shirts that I made with had an order for eight of these in all different sizes this is the beautiful and they all came out amazing everyone looks equally as good as this one I'm holding out and then I had four of these that I did and this is the one that's going out to Morejo this one just came out so amazing pretty good going I love that yeah look at that this is called the cosmic spiral I believe there it is but yeah it just came out really really awesome that's one of that one I've ever made most of them come out like perfect but that one's extra perfect so that'll be going out to Morejo and everyone that ordered these will be getting them well I'll be mailing them out tomorrow morning so and I decided to keep that that sale going buy two get one free with the code in 5D at checkout so you can still take advantage of that if you want I've still got my sale on at the moment but I will be changing it over and so it's a high two seeker can anyone else feel awesome change I feel I feel lightness in the air I feel like some of the darkness has lifted that's what that's what I'm feeling and I felt I felt this significantly on the day that Trump got elected in 2016 I when I went to bed I didn't realize I didn't know who had won the election but when I woke up I just felt without knowing who won I felt this lightness in the air the collective consciousness had changed and and I'm feeling that that's the direction we're heading right now there is a lightness in the air so yeah definitely what about you babe I yeah I'm definitely feel something shifting every day it feels as if there's lighter energy just coming it's like the awakened the awakening is really in full momentum yeah yes yeah yeah I agree hi hi to Greg love that shirt

I'm sure they have there's some awesome tutorials on YouTube on how to really spice up your page I think I've used I've used moonfruit and I've used I've used moonfruit I've I've used I think it's we bleep uh-huh yeah so yeah I did that I did laundry I did a bunch of tie-dye shirts and was working on looking into the software for marketplace and I ran into a speed bump I'm how do I how do you do work with shipping from different people's countries in different places they ship from and I've got an issue there and I kind of I'll work through that and try to figure out maybe there's an all purpose plug-in that will cover everybody I don't know so anyway how was your day baby my day was busy busy and very busy yes that's good right yeah it you know when you're busy but you haven't really accomplished much well I mean we did that's the bit I'm getting to so I had the dentist appointment that then was cancelled and I didn't get the root canal which was kind of good we then raced to get my to pick up my glasses from the opticians and that closed early and then we tried to get shopping and that closed and then we went to another shop and got the things that I'd already been to that shop already and so ended up buying more tip I didn't need and then a race back and my my daughters and me went over to my mom's to watch the new dragons Game of Thrones and the dragon the new one so we watched that we had a takeaway that was not very nice I had to phone up and actually complain about it because they put too much chilli in it we asked for crispy deep-fried crispy chilli beef and it's usually a little bit tangy it's nice you've had it you've had it before they put loads of peppers seeds pepper seeds in it it made it so hot that it contaminated the whole meal and I could so I thought no I am gonna phone up and tell him because it's not right so I did and then I raced back here for global predictions and then and then I'm here so it's been full-on busy and yeah me and the girls we laugh all the time hilarious we had to keep pausing it because we were fucking about and laughing and you know and we just get on really well when I was there we went to a place for chicken wings and they were pretty spicy yeah we had it was a takeaway wasn't it I think we went to it was called Bakey Babs and their hot wings are ridiculously hot that we couldn't even really eat it was they were nasty didn't they have barbecue or hot yeah next time we'll just get barbecue think barbecue safest yeah yeah they were I don't I don't mind hot wings but they were they were really hot so well you tried to tame them down with something didn't you you tried to do that but it didn't it still didn't so over there in the UK they got this at this particular shop and they have it all had a lot of different like delis or just food shops like that they have this big thing of some kind of mystery meat rotating around and they just cut off like little slices of it they say they say they say that's too big to be lamb but it's squished it's like bits of the meat it's squished into this and it's then honest on one long skewer and it just rotates and they literally just carve it down and you have these strips just falling down into it but you know it's it's known that you only really eat that sort of thing after you're drunk it's like a the end of a night out yeah after you've had it a belly full of beer or alcohol I dare I dare yet eat that yeah it is tasty actually it is tasty but yeah I'll never know kind spirit thank you for joining us and Michelle Debbie Emily hello hello gyros yeah but it's just kind of it's a funky kind of gyro what's a gyro so we have them here in the States they're really more popular in like the northeast of the United States it's a Greek kind of thing where they put meat basically on a shish kebab various kinds different kinds of meat you could make a gyro out of like chicken pork lamb steak I'm Martell we have that all over here in the south Greek food yeah we have that all Greeks have you guys probably have that too there though but like their bakeries are amazing a Greek bakery is it do they have rhombarbars it's rhombarbare Greek or Turkish I'm not sure I'm not sure I don't know that they would look they lovely rhombarb until I ate one I ate half of it and then I thought all this tastes a bit funny and then when I lifted it up it was moldy underneath the I didn't half of it yeah you're saying that today miss magic looked up to something a bit scared in her eyes then changed the full love look I felt the biggest hug wrapping around

thing and they just sit there and start rotting and they're looking at you while you're eating a bagel for the fifth morning in a row I think that's funny no no I'm sorry I'm so sorry love I sorted

there but if we do I'll give you a shout get a beer a hug we will one day travel about we will you know I'm looking forward to that so maybe at the meet-up we can all manifest Ellie being yeah that's it would be so nice to meet everyone it really would Ellie's afraid to go swimming though I'll go but only up to my knees sharks they don't bite people unless you're from the UK well I am so honestly that sharks are acting strange they are they are somebody got bit by a shark in Cornwall this is I'm heard of in the UK I thought you said you didn't have sharks up there yeah well we don't we didn't honestly it that's what happened I've got bit told you they're acting a bit bit mad they are they have been but not here in Ciskey it's safe here they just know they just know all know I can't possibly be hungry in Ciskey no no this is a protected area is it yeah it is the face looks convinced doesn't it there was one when we had we had a beach mean I'm gonna see if I can find this picture we had a hurricane back in 2018 I think or so and they say that Ciskey is protected there's a you know Indian protection here at Ciskey so I'll show you guys this picture it's pretty wild so when this her category 3 hurricane came by look at the heart shape over Sarasota oh wow isn't that something others back in 2017 okay so yeah they say that there that Ciskey is protected isn't that something that's definitely something yeah very awesome yeah category 3 wasn't really that bad I think I was the last person to leave the beach I was living on the beach at the time and I took a little picture of I had one of my daughter's stuffed animals she gave it to me so I would always think about her as if I wouldn't anyway but I think it's her little stuffed animals name is meowsie and I took a picture of meowsie on top of one of the beach signs and told her that I'm safe I'm okay and I'll be leaving the beach soon but I was probably one of the last to leave the beach I didn't watch it once they said that the the was at the storm tie this the I don't know the sea level might go seven to ten feet above sea level you kind of have to leave at that point so yeah see sure yeah you see Maureen understands I'm with Ali ocean swimming is not my thing not my fresh water Lake I've been on all day I would I will I will but it's gonna be very clear water and I would have to say you've got a stand guard and and so that you can see all around and make sure there's no sharks most fights are from people stepping on sand sharks from I've not heard of sand sharks yeah okay Carrie says could we ask the cards what is up with the sharks I think you know there are too many people who are actually fishing for sharks off the beach it's just got ridiculous now when I used to have my boat I would fish in between the north end of siesta key and the south end of Lido key there's a channel that goes through there it's called big pass and I would just park the boat there and fish and what I would be using live shrimp but the only thing I would catch there was sharks like bonnet head and their sharks sharks that aren't aggressive towards people but I was catching sharks there and they weren't big they were maybe foot and a half long 15 inches whatever wasn't that big but still you've got a bait you know you're baiting that water you're encouraging them to come close you know I did it's right here he has his show me so cute even got melsey haven't you well this this is Brittany's little stuffed animal cat now she she always likes wearing little dresses and she runs like this just not something down so I ended up taking meowsie and I wrote a book children's book for her home from meowsie and I did all the illustrations and everything and I made it an interactive book where it not only told the story but also gave a coloring book so you can see like here there's a picture of meowsie that they can color or here underneath there's an empty box where they can color in or draw whatever they think is their interpretation of what's going on in that particular scene so it's a very interactive children's book you've get it published I mean no I never did I never went to get it published dedicated to Brittany oh I love listening to you being a dad I've missed that I would have loved to have seen that and the thing here's the thing about meowsie too I remember what buying her when I it was at Walmart I believe it could be Kmart I don't know that was Walmart and I just happened to be going in there for like some last-minute shop and I had basically all my Christmas shopping done and I saw meowsie and I'm like I gotta get her it has all these little stuffed animal cats and different animals mainly mainly cats but I had to get her and you know out of all the gifts that she got that Christmas this was her favorite so isn't it funny how you can buy lots of stuffed toys and some of them cost lots of money and some of them but it's that one thing that that it's like you would never even pick that they just that's their thing yeah or that old blanket or that old you know yeah and it's precious yeah yeah I'll yeah maybe someday I'll do that Vera it's a good idea for a children's really I haven't seen anything like it I like the interactive bit I think that's lovely that's what that's what it's needed with kids you know that that bit it could be one of those whiteboard kind of things yeah just wipe it off that's a good idea yeah I really like that idea so how is everybody how has your day been everybody what have you guys been doing we want to know we do we're still recovering from Sunday well I am because my Monday was crazy busy from from the moment I woke up right the way through to 7 a.m. so I was working from 2 p.m. through to 7 a.m. on Monday finished off doing the astrology readings and so that finished about about six I think I can't even remember but Phil helped me Phil did yes I had to keep interjecting because some of the some of the things that he was saying was was kind of like you know you know you know it's like you know I kind of put a happy spin on things does that make sense and and Phil doesn't do that so much and course I was like trying to interject when I came back on and trying to lift it lift it up a little bit so blessing I love his readings they're brilliant well you gave a really really really good one for Libras yeah but you know it he apologized to you because he got I'm really sorry great but I thought the tower sunny I was supposed to have dental work done today but it was cancer got down there already to have the root canal done and it was cancelled and I didn't know it was cancelled so it's I've now got away a couple of weeks to the middle of September and so chances are of getting another abscess is probably high because I need root canal but I can't get it for two weeks two more weeks this is the beauty of NHS here NHS you know it's all free but you have to wait well they told you they can't give you a root canal if you have an abscess infection but I looked it up and they said that's why they give you a root canal when you have an abscess yes generally most places will do that but they won't do that there well it's not even that anymore and it's like in between you have antibiotics I've had three abscesses since I've been waiting for the root canal Lisa your price is reading was spot on thank you Lisa see Sonny said Phil was funny with his somberness honestly his voice was all like cited one minute but his cards he sees kind of quite dark things sometimes in those cards of his and sometimes the cards that he's reading out I love I love his readings and you know sometimes some of the cards in front of me I like how am I gonna spin this how am I gonna you always find a way it's okay because not every week it's gonna be good stuff let's face it it's not you know not for everybody but yeah it is it is difficult there is an art to do in the astrology meetings because your spot you've got you're on the spot there and then people are seeing your face you know you've got to be a bit of an actress or an actor oregano or oregano we say oregano oil on the tooth mouthwash with activated charcoal or hydrogen peroxide okay I've got colloidal silver so I'm doing that I don't have any of the other bits hopefully it'll be bloody done by then just get it done so you got some you got some some cards with questions on them that everybody can answer do I do I do this is fun you guys join in okay you don't have to join in but it'd be nice if you join in yes let me find a good one ready okay here's one what are those things that make me feel good while I'm doing them and don't be rude everybody no rude comments please well first just you know helping others when you have an opportunity to you know like doing a video that you know that's gonna like you with a tarot helping people you know or me putting out one how-to video or comedy skit or something like that just making people feel good sometimes they videos they take you half a day don't they yeah yeah like I put out this comedy skit video one time the second one I put out I think it took me like seven hours to edit and get it to exactly where I wanted it a lot of editing that was in that one yeah for like a four-minute video it was very funny though it's worth it it's very funny what about you and jewelry making and my in a child is saying it's time jewelry making and obviously anything to do with my arts and crafts really Fimo jewelry making you know my resin work anything that I'm due a day of doing that that's why I'm due yeah what was the question the question was what are those things that make me feel good while I'm doing them so let's have a look at some of the other people

flowers temp testing at the dog shelter shelter for their profile video and then watch them burst out and play oh isn't that lovely they go this is what brings Jody her unique lives right Susie is

a day where I've not got anything like not even in the evening nothing so Marene has said rest in liquids for a day carry says salt take a salt bath I bet your instincts are saying go to the beach I haven't been to the beach in over a month so yeah anything else to find more time stuck to not work as much to take a little time to enjoy life yeah you know it's always about that chasing that horrible thing called money isn't it yeah Martell says eat less no my heart attacks that I've had just work work work I'm a self-proclaimed workaholic I need to just relax a little bit more I'm with you yeah yeah that's kind of I'm not gonna do that one cuz it's kind of similar to what we just asked okay that's a good one ready I first met Greg on the beach oh so you've met McMurray going to the lake and get some sunshine tomorrow I don't remember the name I'm sorry you probably remember a face so if you saw the face picture right so this one what is my gift to the world what is my gift to the world that's easy for me go first darling yeah yeah for sure and I you know thank you universe for giving me the idea for N5D and the name N5D and all these beautiful people that are part of our N5D family yeah my girls my daughters very proud of them my grandchildren through my daughters my teaching ability I would say as well yeah because it's helped lots of people I think to become independent and to build their confidence yeah but I see your gift to the world is you know like the weekly tarot reading so many people tune into that and love love hearing it and you just give freely on it it's a beautiful gift I remember me and you doing it in the beginning and it used to take hours and hours yes we would do a video for each of the signs so we did 12 videos we did the same opening spiel didn't we on each one because you was selling your tarot sheets and I was kind of you know set about the website and everything and I the times I could see him fall asleep on the sofa in the back where I was like he's gonna fall asleep it's nothing I can do about it I would also go though with you the gift to the world is your heart it's such a beautiful heart thank you baby well we're very alike so let's have a read of some of these yeah so what is your gift to the world okay laughter says Julie yeah she's definitely very funny lady Julie very funny Debbie says kindness my honesty and love for animals says kind spirit and Susie says joy Jodie sharing love and laughter Bella says energy healing genie says yes yes so Vera said putting my abilities into action sunny says free videos I made about how I healed from the bladder disease 12 years ago I hope it helped many people from suffering are see that's that's wonderful isn't it it's it's helping helping others and yes our children and our grandchildren blessed by the best oh well grandma I'm shocked and jealous yeah my eldest grandson is 14 so Lisa sea salt mixed in water soaks helps the abscessing gums oh so I bet you some of these are the people have gone back and watched haven't they and then they're commenting on I think sometimes with the comments I think yeah yeah yeah haha do you said I agree at his heart thank you Martel truth seeker and sharer my girls gave me a compliment but also a backhanded compliment today so we was we was laughing we was watching them through and and Ria was talking about this little group chat that she has because she's the home educated she's a homemade mom and there was somebody who was really picking everybody off in the group you know there's always one person so anyway she said something she's really blunt and really out of order what she was saying luckily it wasn't to anyone else it was was in the room and I looked and I said how on earth did I make a child like you what did you think how how did that come out of your into your head let alone out your mouth and she just laughed and she said I've been watching my mom I've been watching my mom and her biggest fault is her kindness and it's not got you anywhere mother and I said it has I've got lots of love around me but that's what and they all all three of them sat on the sofa my mom Megan and Ria and they all said the same thing I suppose it's a backhanded compliment isn't it it's beautiful I love it and I don't agree it does get you somewhere it does you don't have to want something back to give it do you don't have to have something back from what you do get it you get love so Martel said truth seeker and sharer remote and distant evenings of my home and there it doesn't describe me at all so my gift is to radiate light and empowerment to others beautiful yes lovely and carries this my gift is being kind to the meanings yeah so you receive the compliment the way you want here Jodie so yeah that's that's lovely yeah beautiful answers I'm totally digging the interaction going on yeah learning a little about each other let me find something you have to talk about yourself for a bit so I'm just reading and get trying to get the best card I'll just stare at you oh this is a good one how and how often do I give myself permission to enjoy life and how do I feel then so how and how often do I give myself permission to enjoy my life and then how does that make you feel you go first I I I've said this before I have to force myself to go to the beach because if I don't it's not healthy for me I haven't been to the beach in a month often do I give myself permission to enjoy life not enough not enough how do I feel then when I enjoy it love it I don't want to leave the beach or whatever it is I'm doing playing guitar hanging out with you doing whatever with you anything with you yeah so maybe need to have a day off you know actually book one in and say this is gonna be my day off sure you first no way I'm gonna and I do sometimes I'm having a day off tomorrow you're gonna stay 100% away from work well jewellery making is still kind of work I suppose but it is you know my inner child I am doing a reading for from some for somebody who's in the chat here so yeah but it's not until 1 a.m. haha that's technically are you are jewelry to sell it's yes but that is my way of chilling still work it's still my it's still my way of chilling how do you feel silly if I didn't do anything at all I'd be really bored how do you feel when you're how do you feel when you do something that you allowed yourself to do without working my inner child is just jumping for joy yeah excitable childlike and you know we're gonna have a month where we're gonna have to we're gonna have to do the opposite we're gonna be having so much kind of joy happiness and that's true and fun and we're gonna say come on we've actually got to do something you know we've still got to work a bit you know we can't have a whole month without working can we so not often or not but when I treat myself I feel fantastic yeah I live in permission to enjoy my life says Don yeah or else it's a hard question I don't know if I give myself a mission I feel guilty often if I'm not working I totally I totally understand so does Ali yeah see Julie Julie says it's the next day the next day yeah yeah yeah sunny I just quit my job so every day since then oh wow yeah do we make it often with ease I'm working on making that a priority again I feel more relaxed calm and joyful when I do awesome it's a great answer periodically have to give your inner child a chance to play that is so you do and sometimes I suppose that I do my Xbox games or my yeah sure I like doing that yeah yeah I do that yeah in a child I did it in a child readings with the astrology yesterday so for each astrology sign they had an astrology card so just a little fairy tales what was your fairy tale card I can't remember what Libra was hang the band and Jack and the Beanstalk Jack and the Beanstalk looking at things from a different angle yeah I do love those cards they're really pretty really lovely I'm sorry I'm just getting soaked up and trawled all wound up and wrapped into your beauty I appreciate you what was Pisces I can't remember Bella I can't remember I wish I'd written them down shall I pick one for us now sure why not I've got because I've got pulling back over there and you know why I've got to I'm going to tell you and just get the car yeah I'll be back okay so yeah these are all the shirts I I did yesterday and today and I said Moreos came out amazing and as I mentioned the shirts are on sale and we keep them on sale for a little while longer buy to get one free at in 5d.net even comes with a workbook and it's really lovely so highly recommend buying these look these are lovely in a child cards oh well and that's who from each learner and Mark learner okay yep in a child they're really pretty Mariaho says it goes out tomorrow Mariaho I'm excited and thank you Phil for the super chat again oh hi Phil it always comes to my rescue it's like just anybody doing meetings with me because when you've got another person doing readings it means that you can in between you can go and get something to drink you can yes it's it's a lot easier otherwise you know you can't really get up there's an empty chair there during astrology readings it's not as good I think I think you're due to do astrology readings with I am you do say yes you're gonna deal with me next week am I thanks darling I love you okay ready ready these are big cards look at them so you can only really shuffle them that way huge let's all read it so it's the wizard which is the equivalent of the Hierophant or the Hierophant it's Phil Christopher yeah it's the wizard you have been had Greg says Phil I've been had what does that mean what had I been had in so this basically means that you have it's time to start to believe in magic it's time to it's like that to me just says let off some steam okay before it overflows all right it's time to let off some steam and there seems to be a nice gift that you've got here you know something nice nice gift there I think that just says that there's a little bit of oh yeah do an astrology night with your wife yes you've been had yeah so to me that just says let off some steam allow the universe to bring you the gifts that you deserve so it's like saying you know when it's like saying when you have time off this is what my guide said to me once you've ordered this much financial financial wealth you've ordered this because that's what you expect you've ordered this so the universe says you can either work one day two days three days four days or five days or more but you're still gonna get the same amount of financial wealth that you ordered doesn't that say oh it's like it's up to you you can work your your tits on your butt off you can work that way but at the end of the day sometimes you've just got to say order more if you don't like it just order more just say I'm gonna work two days and I want to order this much money it's like if we only believed how much magic how much magic we can actually manifest just with our thoughts just with our feelings and our ideas what do we believe that we deserve what are we gonna have in our life and I think that that is that is what that is so I think that's a card for everybody just to say you know before you kind of blow your top start to believe in that magic believe in yourself because that means that you're taking charge of your life rather than hoping and praying that something good's gonna happen what's that circle above on the top center it's like the letter you what this yeah it's the five Roman Roman numeral five it means home and these are the major arcana cards here I just picked out just the main arcana cards of the of the deck this is the one that you had yes the the and this is the 12 which is the hanged man the equivalent of the hanged man it's Jack and the Beanstalk so that is saying that you know life might be a bit upside down it you might be in kind of you know tricky situation but really you've got all the tools here and to get yourself out the situation if you want sometimes you have to do that so that's some nice comments Maria I love love love these shirts from Greg so comfortable and colorful I love them and t-shirts recently they are magical the colors are so much more vibrant than viewing online I totally agree just love them totally recommend from Australian thank you ladies and thank you for pulling that card for everyone to honey do you copy and paste these feedback comments because you can add those on your feedback on your website I guess I could but I don't I don't I should but I don't yeah because there's so many people that say you know how much how their dreams are and Norse thoughts mm-hmm that is true that is true my love is it is it is the hanged man is Odin it's a Norse God right it's gonna be for the next week for everybody sleeping beauty so this is a time for more and more people to wake up there's gonna be a lot a big awakening feeling going on I think this next week and I think that's to do with you know news you know watch the news what's what's going on on the news you'll be able to read through and the bullshit so to get to what is really what they're really saying and so I think sleeping beauty something's changing and that is the equivalent of isn't 13 the death card death card yeah yeah so new beginnings reawakening yeah wow you know what we were talking beforehand and I think everyone's feeling it there's something big that's gonna happen a lot of people are feeling October you know like the traditional October surprise but maybe something beforehand who knows Dawn's asking what's the name of the deck called and they called the inner in a child the inner child cards fairy tales myth and nature and it's by Aisha and Mark learner and they come with a really lovely workbook I mean and in it I mean it's you know literally it's a hardback book I mean up probably they do a cheaper way of buying these I suppose but I wanted to see if there was something that people can work through you find it yeah it is the death card this card also suggests the healing power of sleep without enough rest the cells of the body cannot function properly and the immune system is stretched to its limit see the peace and quiet of sleep as an interlude of tranquility and recuperation during sleep the soul loosens its grip on the physical body and roams the spiritual universe while still maintaining its tie to the body through the silver cord cord or thread of consciousness enjoy this nightly excursion into another realm of existence and bring back the fruits of those experiences in the forms of amazing dreams visions and plans for the future but there are there's three pages of that on that card so I bet you that that was probably an expensive set of cards pardon it's probably an expensive set of cards cards are jumbo jumbo you got a hardback book I don't think so I don't think it's that bad I'll look it up it should be saying yes something is brewing and it's big feels not far away I think a lot of us are tapping into that aren't we in the UK 2222 as I turned on my phone shell I've been napping again this week yeah yeah how's people sleep patterns and we sleep camel I'll be going to bed early tonight I can tell you that probably not long after we done with this 18 pounds 70 that's great so you can get for like $20 American the just the book there's an inner child workbook which is 10 pound 19 Leland says she's been sleeping more lately a bit like rip van Winkle Terry saying that she thinks September will be a big month I had a dream about it like to know more what was your dream about what's you what do you see in September yeah napping every day I never napped says more at home I napped I agree fellow we could that would be fun we've both kind of done something separately yeah I was working on some numerology cards Oracle deck all look Phil said on the global reading I got that the magnetic pole will flip by month at most this would happen in early October early we've got that question in the global predictions yeah hey yeah Amazon says 32 bucks for the cards the one says 150 so far wow damn wow you go from 31 to 150 well I was doing a reading for somebody and I keep well a few people and I keep getting that something big is going to be the end October time the end of October the beginning of November there's some something majorly big is gonna be happening when I go there I don't have to bring my cards right no got what a deck of cards here for you okay good yeah I can use your cards I'm not gonna give you your cards here yeah yeah so don't says 42 dollars on Amazon okay Canada that's Canada yeah I've been sleeping a bit more often two or three hours six seven a.m. fluctuates a lot I'm still only sleeping about five four five hours a night I've always been a big proponent that if your body's telling you sleep sleep listen to your body there's a lot I feel guilty I feel guilty sleeping because I look at all the work that I've got the list of all the jobs I've got to do and I think just need to push it bit forward further I just need to do that before I sleep just need to do that and I end up falling asleep with so much exhaustion that I'm sitting upright and I wake up see that I've seen that you see me do that yeah and I know I shouldn't do it it's bad for me no I will give into that when my body's telling me to sleep because there's so much that's going on when you're sleeping you're getting downloads your body's healing and regenerating so I need I need to be sensible I leave October 4th I'll be there October 5th Julie she stuck with me for a month I'm gonna be like a big kid can't can't wait me too be just like the same thing you know get to you know waiting for you at the airport and you know so excited when it says she's been falling asleep during your astrology readings maybe I'm soothing and that's okay I have and you're exactly right I love listening to your voice it just it's so relaxing it's soothing and brings me into dream line just boring love I don't I don't have any thoughts right now I need time to think about that but you pick a card on it I put my cards away so do either of you have any thoughts about the upcoming full moon in prices let's all do it let's all see what they say I've put my cards away so I'll moderate you can read these cards too what does a fairy tale mean to you oh Rapunzel Rapunzel let down your hair that is the equivalent of the tower card oh my so great so the tower is basically is clear out it's getting rid of old stuff that is no longer needed so that can be lies that can be you know untruths lives lies this can be you know you can go right right through it can't you it's gonna be you know politicians that are no good people being arrested people being seen for what they are you know the tower moment is is where things are shaken up and things are better afterwards so sometimes it's uncomfortable but sometimes we have to go through uncomfortable before we get what we what we need to want and it's like anybody because this to me is like the bad people in life maybe this is like the you know locking away a child that means it's in a tower you know looking away a child in the tower that's what they're doing aren't they and it's like reveal the big reveal I think sometimes the tower is the lighthouse yeah so yeah what is anyone else seeing that one Rapunzel concept of Rapunzel there's some volcanoes going off in the background there maybe there's something like an earthly shake-up as well could there be what do you get love I got temperance from the light seer deck temperance so if we put the temperance together with the tower card it means that there's an eruption but it will bring about balance so you know that's not such a bad thing is it you're on mute my darling I didn't even didn't even say a word I love how you got my back so I did draw some cards and what I'm looking at for the upcoming full moon is September 10th you know day 4 9-11 right I got that there are there's some pretty there's some things that are going to be happening here is going to be some jostling going back and forth between the dark hats and the light ass white ass but the good news is that I think this marks the point there this is this is a there's a tipping point that's going to happen on this particular full moon and this you can if you wanted to go back years from now you know or next year at the end of next year when Pluto finally exits have corn we've seen all this amazing busy change if you go back and look at that point where it all began and I'm not saying there's gonna be peaks and valleys along the way but this is a huge tipping point in the favor of the white hats and the light something changes and shifts and despite them trying to use their crap against us there's a huge tipping point that's gonna happen can I read what the books is as well sure so this is Rapunzel still the tower when this card appears in your reading be prepared for transformative experiences the only certainty now is change and metamorphosis unexpected and shocking events may be on the horizon heard your ego of old desires fears and grudges a sudden mental breakthrough can help release you from personality attachments and limitations if you are working as an artist musician builder designer or any fine craft take a new look at your materials allow your physical tools and resources to reflect the light and love radiating from spiritual levels of consciousness in social and relationship matters let your hair down for a change of pace planetary ruler is Mars isn't that battle as well Mars yeah I like that sunny down with the cable I like that see all the cards that other people drew no so Phil said just had the star and the world start on the world so that's big wishes and a good outcome from whatever you were thinking about okay I ended up getting new beginnings that's that's our our tipping point is that the full card yeah hmm but it went with it went with the moon and the six of swords also so that's the moon can be illusions and the illusions then being exposed yes yes very good yeah so night of coins night of coins is usually my tourists and the emperor father figure or somebody in authority and seven of swords is sometimes deception and somebody stealing or maybe somebody who has been who's been gonna be caught stealing maybe yeah somebody who you wouldn't imagine all have been caught stealing maybe it's the FBI and in relation to Trump and what they took from him and they're sent now they're saying that they took things they shouldn't have taken yep when I look into that situation if you imagine say Mr. T wanted something exposed like all the truth to be exposed and imagine how he would actually get that to happen you know hi FBI I've got some information here that you you need yeah right so maybe he's kind of like thrown himself on his own sword and saying I don't mind being the full guy if this stuff gets taken in and now you've got to look at it now because it's gone into different hands maybe some people were planted in the FBI some good guys in the FBI who have taken charge of this and all the information is then looked at and it has to be analyzed and it's all all the names of all of the big players and they're the nasties and you know so he's had to be the full guy it's just one concept perhaps perhaps it just makes you wonder though I think that you know the people that have the biggest case of TDS I think they probably have the most to hide and the most to fear when it comes to well you know what you know things that we can't speak about on here oh nice yeah yeah and this was fired Friday so of course the raid was fired Friday it's watered out the building really yeah that is true I didn't if that's a good thing or bad thing though you know was that guy one of the good guys that was supposed to be looking into this properly on or not I don't think so yeah or not that's what I'm feeling is a bad guy yeah well that's a good thing then that's possible to or or to plant something there yes coins and swords financial abundance balance and financial abundance balance and had enough I can't do it anymore had enough so that can mean the end it can mean there is nothing else to do that's done and I know just need to feed my cat hey mom yeah there you go stick that ass in the camera go do it he thinks these are treats and not there's no biscuit you just like anything else I've tried him in loads of treats hmm I think maybe this is gonna be a very interesting month maybe weeks months yep ain't no doubt about it indeed yeah yep yeah thank you Vera yes please like and share and subscribe yes well it's like what we're talking about earlier too there's a change in energy that you know people are feeling it's a tangible feel so something something's happening and it's finally working in our favor it's a good thing I don't think it was a bad thing what happened with Trump I'm actually in a I'm in a good place with it when it first happened I was like same as everybody else if one was like oh my god actually message if you look back on some of the older videos Ali and I would wave to each other and let each other this is a kind of like I love you thinking about you he's present as well we do still do it yeah we just haven't done any spirit chats together for a while no and Judy said thanks very much I agree with everything that was said oh where did it go there it is good and can't wait to see what goes down yeah I agree yeah well I've got to sit back a bit my back is really

So we read Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Then we read Alhamdulillahi Rabb al-Alami Again ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Is this a repetition? And number one Number two Does repetition suits eloquence? Because Quran we argue and we claim and by the teachings of Ahl al Bayt we have learned that Quran is the best and is the most eloquence language that exists and no one can beat that So this repetition is it normal? Is it okay? Because of As-Sireen and the commentators of the Holy Quran they argue that there is no repetition within the verses of Quran, within the Holy Quran None of the verses have been repeated What is this repetition means? Well first of all, repetition is it bad or good? For upbringing a child, repetition it's needed Repetition for nurturing and repetition for upbringing is needed When we are trying to educate, when we are trying to teach and inform someone, a kid For example, we are trying to teach them Surah Al Hamd, we are trying to teach them Dua Al Faraj, we are trying to teach them narrations of the Holy Prophet and Ahl al Bayt And the verses of Quran and Salah and so on and so forth We have to keep repeating and repeating for them to get it And also repetition is not bad When it comes, for example, every day sun rises, next day sun rises again Next day sun rises again We don't get tired of this repetition, we don't argue against this Okay, why you keep repeating it? If it has its own place, if it has its own purpose Different purpose, different meaning, different reason why it's been used Well, this repetition is allowed, this repetition is good It's not against eloquence and not being eloquence So there are, the repetition it's okay If there is a purpose behind it If there is a reason behind it and the structure has changed And the meaning has changed Maybe the words are the same thing But the structure and the meaning and the purpose why this verse came here again It completely is different, inshallah When we go through this, while we are going through this lecture Inshallah you will see how Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim The second Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim And the first Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim in Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim The structure is different The purpose is different The meaning is different Even though it's the same word Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim Because the meaning is different And the purpose and the structure is different In the beginning verse, it is about initiation When we started, as we give the action plan We start everything as we have been prescribed by the people of the house That everything that you initiate, everything that you start Make sure to start with Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim Anything So that's seeking aid from Allah Who is Ar-Rahman, who is Ar-Rahim We want his general blessings And specific blessings All beneficent, all merciful We need it from the beginning of our work Through our work And all the way until the end And after the end of what we are doing We need that blessings of Allah SWT Throughout what we are doing And some show higher capacity So no one is excluded for Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahman, as we mentioned Is a bigger umbrella that covers everybody When sun rises, everybody, a believer And a disbeliever, it's benefiting From this creation of Allah SWT By the name of sun They are getting blessings from it And so nobody is excluded from that If you are a disbeliever, Allah says Okay, you cannot take advantage of sun No, this is not right Ar-Rahman covers everybody Some people want more And some people show higher capacity And Allah specifically does something for them I'll give you an example For example, think of an army base A trainer, a discipliner It's training everybody But somebody is doing more Somebody is putting more effort There will be specific sessions for them Same thing at a class, for example If there are students or their teacher is teaching But somebody wants to learn more Somebody has more questions Somebody wants to really get into the detail Of the knowledge that the teacher was teaching The teacher will say, okay, after class See me and I will explain more to you And we can get into the deep detail Of the knowledge that we are discussing So that is the purpose and the meaning Of the first Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem We need Allah's Rahman and Allah's blessings And all blessings and all beneficence We need it from the beginning, initiation Middle, while, and all the way Until the end of what we are doing And the second time, the purpose has changed Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem Alhamdulillah, our Lord of the worlds And then Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem We are discussing why all praise belongs To Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala So we say, Alhamdulillah, our Lord of the worlds Because he is Ar-Rahman And he is Ar-Raheem All praise belongs to him Because he is all merciful All beneficent That is why he is Ar-Rahman And Ar-Raheem And we praise him What kind of upbringing is beneficial? Being Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem That's very important Where we can learn According to one of the commentators Of the Holy Quran While I was reading his book He was discussing that From Surat Al-Hamd alone He has been able to extract At least 35 to 50 elements And bullet points of Management, of leadership Of upbringing, of coaching other people Only from Surat Al-Hamd It is very, very important For this upbringing If anybody wants to upbringing anyone Anybody who wants to nurture anyone Anybody who wants to educate anyone They must have Rahmani Mercy within their mindset They should be merciful toward that person Which is very, very important That we keep this in mind The problem that some of the parents have With their kids Or some of the husbands And why they have that They are trying to educate one another Or the teacher and the student It's about the mindset That are they merciful Are they teaching with being merciful Are they upbringing While they are merciful Or are they teaching without being mercy Rab, the coach Al-Hamdulillah, Rab Al-Alamin This coach is Al-Rahman, Al-Rahim He is merciful Which we can see that this merciness Being merciful has a lot of impact On this process of upbringing This process of nurturing If the other side sees that And feels that you are mercy To them And you are showing mercy to them And the process is a process of mercy They will take it and they will attain more Of what you try to educate and teach them So this becomes an action plan For everyone who is trying to educate someone else For all the parents who are trying to have Better upbringing process For all the parents who are complaining That we have difficulties in Disciplining our kids It's this mercy that is missing If it's mercy there It will definitely have an impact It will definitely have an influence of the other person As we can see And this mercy We see Allah SWT The best creation of his That he sent He says we have sent you Wa Ma'a Ar-Sallanak Illa Rahmatan Al-Alamin This message of Allah SWT Where he wants to guide Mankind From his time All the way to the day of judgment This process This guidance needs a rahmah And we see that Ahl al-Bayt al-Alihum Al-Salam They are We read in Ziyara Jam'a Al-Kabira That becomes actually our second action plan for tonight Take a time and read Ziyara Jam'a Al-Kabira Plus the translation You can find it online Just with Ziyara Jam'a Al-Kabira If we want to find more And learn more about Ahl al-Bayt al-Alihum Al-Salam We must read Ziyara Jam'a Al-Kabira For the lack of better terms I say Ziyara Jam'a Al-Kabira Is the resume of Ahl al-Bayt al-Alihum Al-Salam If we want to really know We won't be able to understand their status But to get a good understanding Of who they are Reading Ziyara Jam'a Al-Kabira We read in it a segment As-salamu alaykum ya Ahl al-Bayt al-Nabuwa And we continue We say Wa Ma'a Al-Din Al-Rahmah You are the originator The mind of Allah's mercy We see that Them trying to up bring the community For them to guide the community The society The mankind They were merciful Where we see The manifestation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala All the characteristics Of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala The 99 names And the attributes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Was manifested In the lives of Ahl al-Bayt al-Alihum al-Salam One of them being Al-Rahman and Al-Rahim For example A story of a person One day Rasulullah Muhammad Was sleeping under a tree A person comes A disbeliever He has a sword in his hand He comes on top of the chest of Rasulullah And he says Muhammad, get up Rasulullah wakes up He says, I'm here to kill you Who is there to save you From me Rasulullah looked at the heaven Looked at the sky He said Allah As soon as that disbeliever looked at the sky Rasulullah moved That person fell Rasulullah took his sword And he told him Who is going to save you from me He says Your mercy will save me Rasulullah gave him the sword back He said You are freed That was the time This person became a Muslim And he said I bear witness that there is no god but Allah And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Rasulullah By him Seeing the mercy of Rasulullah And we have these stories Tremendous amount Numerous narrations And stories of Ahlul Bayt How they showed mercy Even to their enemies To the person For example, we have the famous story Of Horwal We are within Karbala next to the shrine Of Aba Abdullah Al-Hussain That when Aziz Al-Riyahi came And approached Imam Hussain And he stopped Imam Hussain And basically When they got there They were thirsty Imam Hussain had water He gave 1,000 people water And even he gave water to their horses This is mercy We won't be able to find Anywhere else Allah's mercy Manifestation of Allah's mercy Other than the household Of Ahlul Bayt A.S So we bring This characteristics This demeaner Of Ahlul Bayt A.S Of being Rahma Wa Ma'a Rasannaka Allah we have not sent you But as mercy to mankind How much that mercy Has embedded into life Lives of us Muslims Unfortunately We see this day in age Because of the act Of some individuals And some governments People are unaware That Islam is the religion of mercy The messenger of Allah That Allah has sent for Islam To come Allah says again Wa Ma'a Rasannaka We have not sent you But as a mercy to mankind To mankind No to mankind All the worlds Not even to mankind only To the world According to one translation If we consider Alameen to be people Or no He's been sent Where we see Rasulullah Muhammad Within another story They were stoning him And stoning him And stoning him And he ran From the city that he was in He went out And he was bleeding And bleeding And he would pray for them That Allah guide these people They don't know They don't know the truth He's there To educate them And they stone him He comes out And while he's bleeding He prays for them And he never cursed his ummah He never cursed his society And his community So I ask as a Muslim Every day Ten times In the morning Salatu Subh First raka'a Surat Al Hamd Bismillah Al Rahman Al Raheem One time Alhamdulillah Rab Al Alameen Al Rahman Al Raheem Two times And then second raka'a Four times And we read this Al Rahman Al Raheem Al Rahman Al Raheem Al Rahman Al Raheem This should Shape our personality Characteristics To be rahma To be mercy To other people No matter where we are Starting from our own home Are we mercy to our family? Are we mercy to our relatives? Our friends? Our co-worker? Our society? Do they know us As a merciful person That we show mercy or not? If we don't show mercy Who should show mercy? We that read Every day So many times Alhamdulillah Rab Al Alameen Al Rahman Al Raheem We keep repeating And repeating This should shape us So action plan Will be That insha'Allah And Upringing We have to make sure The element of Being merciful is there If not We won't see an effect And If you want to learn more How to be merciful Let us read More from the Teachings of And the narrations And the stories of And learn How they were merciful Even to their enemies Even to the people Who insulted them I will conclude Insha'Allah With one more narration That one day A person comes To Imam al-Baqir Alayhi salam And he tells him You are Baqirah forgiveness of Allah Imam al-Baqir Baq Alif Qaf Ra He removes the alif And he calls him Baqirah In Arabic In English This is it This is how much He has mercy Toward other person He's the Imam Khareefatullah If he raises his hand And he does dua This person will vanish But Imam tells him Very nicely I am Baqirah Same thing We have Imam al-Hassan Al-Mustawab Alayhi salam These stories Must be read more And more And more often For us to learn Insha'Allah And to bring Being merciful Into insha'Allah Our lives We ask Allah Reciting Dua al-Faraj Which is the most important dua That we have been prescribed By Ahl al-Baita A.S. To read it more often And begging Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala To hasten the appearance Of our beloved mama Mahdi Ad-Dur Allah Faraj Al-Sharif Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem Allahumma kulli wali Ka al-Hujjat ibn al-Hassan Salawatou ka alayhi Wa ala aba'ih Fi hazeh sa'ata Wa fi kulli sa'a'ah Waliyan wa hafida Wa qa'idan wa nasirah Wa daliyan wa aina Hatta tusskina wa ardaka Taw'a wa tmatta'a Wa fiha tawila Brahmatika ya ar-Rahman r-Rahmeen	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2cPrCm6EUg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

One who is on the spiritual path wants to increase the prarabdha, take the load, because we want it to be done quickly. Twelve-year karma, intense involvement is good enough to drop all that. If you burn all your physical karma. It is fantastic that Kaveri calling this twelve-year commitment and if you commit to this, your karma for this world will be taken care of. How do I get involved with my life, my sadhana, my kids? Everything into this that the whole karma is taken care of. Karma means action. Action is happening on four basic dimensions of life, body, mind, emotion, energy. When one takes up sadhana, spiritual sadhana, why certain things are adjusted for different people in different ways, even the same practice is given, we make it happen differently for different people. Because not everybody's prarabdha is the same bag of karma, it's different bags. Depending upon… See, let's understand this way, if we have to use modern terminology, prarabdha is like a software, it has been set like that. Now when you're on the spiritual path, we want to increase the size of our prarabdha. Everybody else wants to lower their prarabdha. One who's on the spiritual path wants to increase the prarabdha, take the load. Because we want it to be done quickly. We don't want it little by little happening a whole lifetime. Whatever physical karmas we have, we want it to be done quickly. Whatever psychological and emotional needs we have, we want it to be done quickly, as quickly as possible. Some just want to skip the whole thing, then they will take brahmacharya sannyas like this. They don't even want to get into it, they want to skip the whole thing. Others try to work it out fast, so that increase the volume of the karma. It is burdensome, but it gets over soon. So when we look at it this way, there is a certain amount of energy in every human being, it's different. By internal, to put it in today's terms, a certain software is there within you, which alerts a certain amount of energy for your body, for your emotion, for your thought, for your inner dimension, like this. There is a certain allotment. There is somebody here who has to do lots of physical things for them to feel good. There is somebody else here, if they work for three hours, four hours, they feel like that. But their involvement is of a different level, but they cannot work like that. They're different types of people. This is not just by attitude. Some might have developed attitudes of laziness, that's a different matter. But actually energies are made like this. So when we put people to different kinds of activities, we're constantly observing where and how their activity is going. Most people think I've done enough, most of the time, okay? This is a problem because they're in market economy, how to give less and take more. Hello? If you go to the market place, if you went to buy vegetables, Mysore market, you must go, it's a must visit. I have spent so much time in Mysore market, you must go and see. It's a place to go. So if you go there, if you go there with hundred rupees or today maybe thousand rupees, and you bring back two hundred rupees worth of vegetables home, people at home will say, you're a fool. But you went there with thousand rupees and brought two thousand rupees worth of vegetables by bargaining and bargaining and bargaining, they'll say, oh, she is smart. So what is the principle of smart and fool? If you take more and give less, you're smart. If you give more and take less, you're a fool. Yes, that's a basic principle. So this is why this subjectivity and objectivity matters. In subjectivity, if you give more and ask for nothing, you're really smart. If you give less and want to take more, you make a bloody fool of yourself because you lose your life. What could have been a simple thing could have been a profound experience for you. You miss that simply because you're thinking, how what will I get, what will I get, what will I get. See, this is happening, you've done Shonja meditation. The Shonja meditators know this very well. They sit like this, literally body is disappearing, then you want to do something, you want to get enlightened that day. All you get is numbness in your leg. The moment you try to take something, it's over. It's over, it doesn't even exist. Those who are always on that mindset, they sit, sit, this damn Shonja, nothing happens. Yes, nothing will happen because the idea was to make nothing happen. Shonja means nothing already. So in the subjective world, you must be done with your karma as soon as possible. Twelve-year karma, intense involvement is good enough to drop all that. If you burn all your physical karma, if you sit here, you sit and move it. If your physical karma is not finished and you try to sit still, in dozen different places it feels itchy for nothing, nothing is there. Simply do like this, ant is going, no ant. Imaginary ants will go, all kinds of things will happen. Simply because your karma is not done and body cannot sit still. To make it sit still, you must be done with this. So I said twelve years, if you give yourself, it will be so done that if you sit, you will sit and move it. It's important. One does not know stillness, they miss life. Like someone said, man is ill only because he does not know how to be still. Yes? All the illness is out of that. Not able to be still means you have not managed your basic energies properly. That's all it means. It doesn't allow you to settle down.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2TwNdQKsac", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

The application of the CAD slash CAM technology, together with the emerging 3D medical images based virtual surgical planning, VSP, technology to craniomaxillofacial reconstruction has been gaining increasing attention to reconstructive surgeons. This article illustrates the components, system and clinical management of the VSP and CAD slash CAM technology including data acquisition, virtual surgical and treatment planning, individual implant design and fabrication and outcome assessment. It focuses primarily on the technical aspects of the VSP and CAD slash CAM system to improve the predictability of the planning and outcome.

Today we're making low-carb chocolate chip cookies. Now I'm using almond flour, which is going to make the cookies nice and soft. If you like soft cookies, then this is the recipe for you. And I'm also going to be using date paste, which are dates that I've made a paste out of, instead of white sugar and even brown sugar, so that the glycemic index stays low and it doesn't spike your blood sugar. So, and I'm also going to be using just a little bit of oat flour. Now, what that's going to do, I know that has more carbs in it, but we're only using a couple of tablespoons in this recipe, and what that does is brings out some really delicious flavor. So, I'm rocking Robin, and I'm going to show you how to make them right after this. Before we get into the recipe, I just want to mention that you might want to click that subscribe button and the notification bell, so you'll be notified every week when my new videos come out. And we're always whipping up something delicious and super healthy. So, we're going to start our recipe by just, I'm going to be putting things in the bowl, and then I'm going to tell you about the ingredients as we go, all right? So, first up, I'm going to be using some butter. We want to get all of our wet ingredients in the bowl. First, I'm going to use a hand mixer, and this is a half a batch. And don't forget, you can get the written recipe down below in the description of this video. Click down there where it says show more. So, you want to soften your butter. I have organic butter here, and I'm going to put that in the bowl along with the coconut oil. Now, the coconut oil has solidified, so it's not a liquid, and that's fine. We're going to beat this up, and I'm going to get it nice and smooth. Now, once the butter and the coconut oil is nicely creamed together and smooth, then we're going to add the date paste. Now, the date paste is something that I like to use. I started using it a lot in a lot of different recipes. So, for example, I put it in my oatmeal to sweeten it up. It's a great sweetener. It's got a lot of vitamins and minerals, and it doesn't spike your blood sugar, so that's why I really like it, and it just tastes good. It lends itself to this recipe super well because it's got a caramel-like flavor, so it just fits right in, and it's beautiful. Once we've got the mixture all combined, then we're going to add our egg, and I'm just going to toss in some vanilla extract. Use the real stuff. Don't use imitation. This is so much better, and we'll mix that up until it's all combined. Now, for our dry ingredients. I'm using almond flour, but I'm using blanched almond flour. I like this one here. This one's from Trader Joe's, and it's nice and fine. It works great. You want to use that as opposed to almond meal, which I think is a little bit more coarse. Then I also have my oat flour, which I talked to you earlier about. Let's see. I'm only using a couple tablespoons, which is about a total, maybe 12 grams of carbohydrates. Not too much, considering this batch will make about 14 cookies. Remember, you can double it, and that's not a problem. Let's start adding those ingredients. By the way, I've got my oven preheating to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, so you want to do that as well. I'm going to toss in the oat flour first, and the salt. We're going to add a little bit of salt to this, and baking soda. We'll pop that in, and I'm going to blend it up. Now, with the almond flour, I'm going to be adding about a third of it at a time, so that it blends in nicely. We'll just toss that in and just start mixing. The last thing is our chips. Now, I'm using Goutard chocolate chips. These are dark chocolate, so they have less sugar in them, and Goutard, in my view, is one of the best to use. I love their chocolate. I'll just place those in there and just take a spoon and stir them up. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, that way the cookies won't stick. We're just going to drop these onto the pan in little mounds like this. Now, they don't tend to spread out very much, so you're going to want to help them a little bit. I think otherwise they'll stay nice and tall. If you like them nice and tall, they're going to be, you know, they'll stay that way. So, I like to smash them down just a little bit, and then we'll bake these in a 350 degree oven for about somewhere between 13 and 15 minutes. Cookies were out of the oven at 15 minutes. That seemed to be the perfect time for these, and now I'm going to give one a go. They're cooled off a little bit, nice and soft. Who doesn't love a warm chocolate chip cookie, right? I love the flavor. The flavor is very, very good. That date paste, just that caramelized flavor, just really fits right in. Delicious. And the oat flour gives it just a little more interesting flavor. I think almond flour by itself is a little bit bland, but I think that oat flour just bumps up the flavor quite a bit. Now, I find that the best way to store these are in a, say, a Ziploc type bag in the refrigerator, believe it or not. There's something about that. I like how it firms up the cookie a little bit, and the chocolate is not really hard, but it's a little more firm. Try it out. Let me know what you think. Try, you know, storing them out, and then try storing a few in the fridge. Compare the two and let me know down in the comments what you think. All right. So that's our video for today. I hope you enjoyed it. I do appreciate it when you take time out of your day to stop in here and watch my video. And, of course, I love it when you leave me comments, so don't forget to do that. And please share the recipe for me. All right. We'll see you next time. Take care.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2F6idKCFR0", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Andy is here, we haven't seen him for ages, he's here, he's still alive, he's harbouring in his office out the way, it's all good. Missing you mate, missing having you in the studio. Yeah, miss going mate, I miss the social, yeah. But we'll get through it, somehow we'll get through this thing. Obviously at the moment it's quite difficult to talk about football related stuff because nothing's going on. Well it is behind the scenes but even so it's not really because no one knows what's going to happen. I mean how are you, and obviously you working football how are you finding it, has it changed much for you lately or are you still just... It's busy, it's trying to say it's busy yet, much busier because there's more time to watch players so I'm finding it much more and more players because there's not games added on every single week so it's not so useful, it's quite busy at the moment. Fair enough, that's what fans will want to hear, that things are still. Well yeah, I know a lot of unfortunately some staff have been failed out by clubs but recruitment teams are working probably the hardest out of anyone. I think coaching teams are watching players as well but I think the recruitment staff are working out of the most in football goings. Yeah, I mean it makes sense doesn't it going into obviously there is a time of uncertainty and money wise and everything else we don't know what's going to happen and we've got the stuff out now isn't there about FFP being relaxed and obviously in the background of all that we've got Manchester City's core case with UEFA. Yeah that's what it looks like doesn't it but they're supremely confident apparently that they're going to not only win it but potentially obliterate UEFA and FFP and everything else so UEFA might regret kind of making these stands. Right, I mean where do you stand on FFP because? I'm in the middle I guess, there's two ways to look, I think clubs should be allowed to spend money if they have it because it helps football. On the flip side I don't think clubs who can't afford to spend money should spend money so there has to be some balance somewhere but you know if I'm UEFA and I'm the FA in the Premier League I allow Manchester City and Manchester United this summer to go out and spend the matter on some money because it will influx. It will influx the game as well as the European game with money so there's probably going to be less money in football because of the sponsorship doing the TV money. But if you allow clubs to influx money through the transfer market there's going to be more money in football and people will be better off really and I think that's allowed clubs to spend money in this next transfer window. Yeah, I agree at a time when obviously the wealth financial outlook isn't great, we've seen the Dow Jones losing money and everything else and people are talking about wealth recessions being the same 2008 and all of that. If you've got someone who wants to actually put money into industry then why on earth would you try to create this thing because let's be honest FFP in general isn't working in the idea of it. I'll be honest and when this was first approached I thought it'd be a good thing. I thought right okay. Without looking too deeply into it of course but at the time I was thinking well that's kind of right. Let's make sure that clubs can spend what they can without over-setting them and let it leave their out for everybody and in my mind there was going to be a wage cap, there was going to be things like that so everyone was almost on a level playing field. But the reality is it isn't like that at all, the reality is that the haves have more and they have not to get less. It's the Champions League all over again, it's just another layer to the Champions League because that's what that was built for is to keep those teams at the top because they get more money outside of it. I think what's happened is with the Premier League obviously with the TV money has gone so big. Other countries have obviously feared that the strength of the Premier League is just too big and we've obviously looked to cap it with FFP. PSG, they've circumvented FFP numerous times but obviously they haven't upset as many people as Man City because I think the owner or the chief executives on the board are your way for anyway. But yeah exactly I think at the start it seemed like a good idea but now going wrong I do think there needs to be financial controls and football. You don't want another leads but I don't think you can limit clubs if you want to spend money. Fine if you want to limit it in a smart way where you lose a certain amount of money you can't spend money. But I wouldn't say because you haven't got good sponsorship deals like other clubs you can't spend money because there's just no points in owners coming into the club. Owners aren't going to come in at lower levels such as the AFL which is struggling. If they're not going to be allowed to spend money now I understand there has to be wage caps in the AFL but you have to be able to allow people to try and push clubs on otherwise you're not going to get their investments. Of course yeah and you know it's our club so we're obviously going to talk about it but we've got Farad Masheiri who's a billionaire and we know that his mate who's a big uncle Elisha there's a multi-billionaire and if they say listen we want to put a billion pound into Everton in the next 12 months to create jobs and build a better team and more success then that's the way it is. Surely it's up to other clubs so they just have to deal with that. It's not going out of the football though any time if he stays in football so say we bought, we'll talk about Gabriel, say we bought Gabriel Leela then going to go out and buy her replacements, the team they buy off are going to buy her replacements and the money flows down the line. So that's why I think this summer anyway or maybe even next summer as well I think they should allow teams to stand. Yeah I think you're right and I think it kick starts everything again then and obviously we've been talking about this with the stadium and I know a lot of people were kind of worried with the stadium but obviously Lango Roe come out and John Anderson said exactly the same thing, the club have said the same thing is that don't foresee any delay other than physical delay from obviously what's when it's safe. Everton of course a lot of doom and gloom out there, some people shall we say like to paint the doom and gloom and the what if thing but the reality is nothing's changed at the moment in terms of time scale because Everton haven't got planning permission anyway. Exactly, exactly so and on that but I've seen a lot of economists now saying that the smart money will be put into bricks and water and building and getting things going again and what better way certainly for this city than to do is through building a brand new football stadium. You're building a whole infrastructure around the stadium in hotels, bars restaurants and stuff as well so that's more jobs on top so yeah I agree I think the stadium will go ahead as planned. In terms of I've never had a fear about the stadium because I think it's too big for I think and I know we've had stadium projects called in before but I think this one's just too big for the council and any other authority to let go away I think. It's got too much support as well let's be honest. Anyway that's enough of that. Let's move on to the good stuff you know what we hope will be the good stuff. Obviously there's a lot of transfer links now at the moment it's a difficult time obviously with the whale but it's going on the whale but football does continue and you've already said you're busy at the moment looking at players for clubs so quite clearly it's moving along. Everton have had a number of links and will continue you know it's every other day if not every day we get linked with the latest member of Napoli but let's begin with the fella who you mentioned before and someone who we've known about since probably early January that the club were interested in. And that's obviously Gabriella, Lill, he left us at centre back. Me and you have done a video on him of how good he is and comparing him to Yeri Mina. Tell us if you've made now as well as being in this hunt for Gabriella. I question have they though because there tends to, I know Lill if I have difficult negotiations and obviously they understand that Everton have probably got some money. Obviously we don't know how much based on what's going on but I think they understand that bad in the club it puts pressure on Everton to possibly put more money up front because I don't think Everton are in the position yet. Reagulatory masses that we can afford to put the full fee up front so the way we're wearing it is probably in instalments so I'm sure Lill will want more money up front so they can then go out and spend that money on replacements. ond yn arwain ei wneud yn gwelltydd chi gael oherwydd yr hyn splengar Quarwnol a thair i'n rhoi hi oedd y f työrch ac mae hi fydd yn fawr yn eich thawr, mae'n meddwl i'r gwerthu yma, i ffwrdd yma, i'n ei ganddo i credu i'r enw.

So that's that, there's got to be a balance between two, you know, I think Max Arans, I think he probably can get the nod because he's got a Premier League experience and he wouldn't mind bringing in someone that age, whereas Neymar, who's 21, 22, he's never played in a league, this level, people just, we don't really sign players, you don't play for top five leagues apart from Bernard was obviously one we did sign, but on the Marcel Brands, we tend to go for players with a bit of a less risk profile, which is understandable. You know, if you're making big money transfers, you have to, you know, obviously look at the risk. So, yeah, I think doing a side as a good player, you know, I'd look at, you know, I'd look for someone a bit young, but you know, the fullback market is unfortunately a bit shallow currently, it is tough even at the higher level, there's not that many players. You could say they're definitely going to come in and do the job. So it is tough for Marcel Brands, but I just don't think Bounissar, I think he's probably looking for a new contract with his agents as well. So I doubt we saw it. I think he's also been linked with Sevilla this week. Yeah, yeah, Maxime Lopez, the sense of the field is because I think Marcel a bit short of cash, which is where all these rooms. Well, yeah, they've got to get people up the door, haven't they? I think the thing with him as well, is that he was talking about it. It's by our clothes is only 10 million or something like that. So so obviously that is attractive for them from evidence perspective, of course. If there wasn't another option that they liked and they wanted to find someone short term, would you like then? Yeah, 10 million as we discussed before, that Fabian Delft transfer was is a similar 8 million type of sign players for that age of that place. That's not a big outlay really. It's quite a significant move. So I wouldn't I wouldn't say no, but as I said, rather personally, we'd rather go for someone younger. That's because the basically the three we're going to really talk about the three positions rather than talking about it for me are the three key areas that I haven't had the strength and one is right back. I'm not sure I'm really still unsure over John Job. I don't know whether he's he's done well in Shalka Day. I want to keep him. I'm not sure whether he's good enough to I don't need his top level man for where ever I'm going to go. Yeah, he's a good player. I think that, you know, he's not bad on the ball. You need to quit a willing fender. I just don't think he has the explosiveness or that dynamism in the final third that you really need to set your part. If you look at the best teams over the years, they've had dynamic fullbacks and I just don't think he cuts the mustard in that mould. I know what I wouldn't call Trent Anil, Alexander Arngol, quite dynamic, but obviously he's got a different skillset. But yeah, John Joe's a good player. But I think he'll say if Shalka can get the money and have it and can agree a price, I think he'll end up staying in Shalka. I think that came out on the press this week as well. Yeah, yeah. Then into midfield, centre midfield. Obviously Alan's been linked strongly again. Now I know, I know this is it's not really one you're loving. I know that. He's a good player, he's a really, really good player. And I've got no problem in looking at that type of player. And I think it's understandable with the role that I'm sure he wants, 4-4-2 isn't something people have played. So you need people who can do both get forward and obviously sitting and defending, obviously understand the positional awareness and the positional needs of the position. It's just that he's 29, he's never played in the league of this level. It's the same, we'll probably discuss Hamers, Rodríguez, it's the same with him. They're both obviously really, really good players. But when you spend money on players of that level and obviously the wage commitment that they'll be looking for, I think they'll both be looking for the excess £120 grand a week. It's quite a risk, you know, with Hamers, Rodríguez, I look at like Tim O'Rea, he was a really, really great player. Became to England, they just couldn't do it. It was a bit of a fluffy night and I look at players at that age and they come from different leagues at that age and it can be quite tough to acclimate. Now Demirongi might come in and be absolutely fantastic, but there's always that risk and I'd rather have it and try and find the next Alan. Not someone who's 20, someone who's 24, 25 who's ready to be in San Alan who's nearly 30. I think me and my dad are just about this, to be honest. This weekend it was like you. I love Ibrahim Sangari. I think he'd be one to be biting to lose his hand off at 20 million. We're out of shadow and, you know, I like Zechariah. You know, I like Western McKenney, although he's a little bit different. He's a bit more of a ball player, but certainly the likes of Zechariah, Babacariah Somari, a Bibacariah Somariah, Lailu's a brilliant player as well. I mean, I'd go for Sangariah out of all of them, I think, although Zechariah is a little bit more cultured than him. But that's the thing, yeah, but, you know, there's different options there. But I think what we impaired were kind of come to the come to the conclusion was that if Anciolotti wants Alan and he thinks he can do him a job for three years while kicking this team on, it can if you can if you're a manager and you go this lad is brilliant and he knows my gaming a bit like him. So he's not the greatest example, but James McCarthy, when Martinis brought him in, he knew exactly what Martinis wanted. And so he came in and for the first 18 months, he was outstanding. He was only injured, he stopped James McCarthy being brilliant. And he knew it and went in and we've seen great coaches like Guardiola do it and other great coaches take people who know what they want. And I think that's my only kind of argument for Alan is that he knows Anciolotti's game, Napoli have already said because I think it's so and they've fallen out anyway. And I think it's so is kind of said, yeah, I'm happy if you leave in the summer. The talk and that first, it was 40 million. Now they're saying 18, 19 million probably because of his age. So we could do a job for three years and then kind of next summer, you then bought a Sangari or someone like that. That would work because don't forget we've got John Filipe Gabamon, who we both know is a good player in Germany was excellent. He's got all the attributes to do well here, but we don't know he's injured at the moment and we haven't seen enough of him. And then we've got Andre Gomez, who no one else is really liking our squad and he does a particular job. So then the other midfielders we've got is Delth, who's more for me. I just look at him as a utility player now and think, yeah. You know, and then you've got Tom Davis, who's still a flip of a coin. Seven one week to the next. So, you know, we don't know what he's going to do. And then I think we both agree, Snyddler and Sigarton are on that way down. They're not on an upward curve, are they? So if you could, excuse me, if you could get Alan in who will do a job and he knows he'll do him a job, maybe that makes sense. Maybe that's the only one of these naffly links that really does make sense. It does. And you've, it's funny to say, I agree with that, but you said that's exactly right. And, you know, obviously I'm quite stringent on the age thing. But as a from a manager perspective, he put a different hat on. He wants to be able to bring someone who knows his system. He doesn't have to retrain them in the 442. He can just put them in and basically Alan will give you that structure then straight away because he'll be able to pull the other players in. You know, be able to marshal it. I think that there is some value in that. And as I say, 40 million, obviously I was completely no. If you talk about 20 million and if Carlo thinks and you know, Marcel Brands agrees because obviously they have to agree. I think, yeah, it wouldn't be a bad sign. I've got you know, I would prefer not. But I could from from a recruitment perspective and a tactical perspective and a manager's perspective, I can understand completely why that move would be made. Just don't put. Go on, sorry. Go. No, after you know. I was just going to say garn, I was 30 and would have played PSG. Wouldn't have come in. We'd have been happy with him for another two or three years, wouldn't we? So that kind of fits the Alan timescale. But what were you going to say? Just the only slight worry I have is coming from Italy's playing. Honestly, I think he was at Udonais in 2011. He signed for Udonais and then he went to Napoli. It's just a difficult need to come from if you play the long time there. I know other players that do at Georgina obviously is not bad, is not a bad player in the Premier League. Most of course came from Roma. But, you know, that's the only concern. But yeah, from a Carlo perspective, if he wants someone he can trust really. There's a lot of managers to be able to trust players. And I think he sees him as his source of general on the pitch really. If he's the one who's pulling people into position, then yeah, it makes sense. It doesn't make sense. So I've got no, I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to cry over spilled milk if he's signed. I've got me quite a few reservations about it, but yeah, I completely understand it from that perspective. Especially if he's the one who has the structure and then everyone else is a future sign and, you know, players who weaken mould and grow, then maybe it does make sense to have the one fellow that understands it and almost becomes the key to the works for everybody else. You know? Yeah, and as I say, he then is teaching other players. He's helping Tom Davis, he's helping Andre Gomez, he's not really playing the 4-4-2 in his career. He's helping John Philippe Gabamon. And it's just a bit of a, if he's a 7 out of 10 every week, that's what you want, we let consistency soon. Well, one other player we will link with this week who's also a centre of field player is Pellegrini, who's that Roma. What's your make-up in? Really, really good player. There's a lot to get through here. So with Pellegrini, you know, I was quite, I'd be fairly surprised if we signed him for the basic reason is he's more of a number 10 or an eight and we don't play with a three. So obviously the number eight role in a 4-4-2 is much more different. It's more of a two-way box-to-box role. If you were going to sign Pellegrini for me, you're playing on the left hand side over Bernard and Wobe now. The issue there is I think that we're going to probably go with Bernard and Wobe next season, see where they take us. I don't think they see that as a position of need to upgrade straight away. I think that Carl will work with them. If they don't work out, then obviously they'll be replaced. That's just the way it is. I don't think Pellegrini can play as an eight in a two. I just he's better being able to get into advanced positions. I think if we were going to sign him, you play him on that left hand side, much like Ceilings, he was used for Napoli by Carlo and he'd be basically the factor number 10 drifting off the wing and creating problems for me, because he's a really, really crisp, intelligent passer. I think he's got I think a scene. He's got four goals and 11 assists this season. I think one of the things is reservation again as Italian players, Italian born players come to the Premier League, so very, very small success market. It's not because the bad players or it's very different league. They grew up in a league which is very tactical, very methodical. We obviously are very transition based, very counter-attack based, very intense. It's quite hard to succeed here when you come from that league. Definitely, but one of the things was the the attractiveness of the transfer is that it's come out that he's got a 26 million million pound clause in his contract, but it's it's two payments of 30 million quid, two years or past. So essentially you can get a 26 million pound player for 30 million. Yeah, it's 23 years old. Yes, it's a good player. You know, in the right system, you get the and I think is that in that left hand side role of what Carlo wants to do. I think you'd be crazy. It's just that at this point, maybe, you know, you don't know what's going to be decided in my time is, you know, use it will be a bit hard on the right. There's a different type of player you don't know. But then you've got to go on board as well. But I think he's a good player. There's just a lot of question marks over and but that type of player is probably someone missing, you know, Sigurdsson was supposed to be the creator. He's not really a will be is a creator, but he's not really suited to a 4-4-2, so he's going to have to adapt to the off the ball role, really, so that's a problem. Bernard can create and he's does well, I hope sometimes he has a bit of middle and time away, but you never know, but a whole summer in a 4-4-2, then players that we've mentioned, Bernard and the Wobby, they might come on. They might step into that left hand side role and make it their own sum. I just don't see the Pellegrine transfer coming off of the Monarchs. But he is a good player. You know, he will fit that role perfectly. It's Cinco also, isn't it for Bernard and the Wobby? You know, that's football, yeah, you know, it's not. It's partly not their fault that, you know, the manager was changed in the system, he's changed that, that's football. They have to be able to show they can adapt or they won't, or they won't, you know, as you say, the Cinco swim. Fair enough. Anyone else in that centre of field role that you... I don't think that at the minute, I think it's basically Alan keeps popping back up and I know it's easy to keep linking us with Napoli players to get that. I'm probably like three Schmittans and people like this. They're just the easy links to Le Barley. But we know that he does really like Le Barley, but I just don't say it's not over it. Well, exactly, exactly. But I think Alan is, I just think Alan's slightly different because it's subtle. And he's come out and said as well. I'm going to say that he needs that midfield shot and he's come out and said it. And he wants energy in there, you know. It's true, you know, the linchpins, that system is the centre of the centre of the field because without it, as we've seen against Chelsea, once that splits apart and the structure goes, we're very open at the back. So you need specialist players and then you've got a player who knows how to play in that system, you're better off for it. Again, yeah, makes complete sense. So the other, I mean, third and final position that is kind of a priority, certainly as far as I'm concerned. And I think this was mentioned at the ADM anyway when Marcel Brand has done his plan of a 4-4-2 is obviously the right hand side. Yes, people are talking about another striker. But for me, I'm not really concerned about the strikers. I think we've got a great partnership with Calvert, Llewman and Charleston. I think Moise Keane will grow and come on this season. And then after that, you've got Anthony Gordon can play there. And you've also got, you should be seeing the emergence of Ella Sims, maybe in and around the squad. He's got the attributes, weathering, you know. And then he's behind that, you've got Lewis Dobson on the well. You've got Dobson, yes. So you've got a transition plan there. Yeah, I'd say, unless you can't find that right wing and you think with Charleston, it'll be wrong. He's better off front, but you can't do it there. Really well and he's going to have goals from that position. So you take it rough with the smooth, I guess, in that sense. But yeah, I think we won't be signed a striker. I know a lot of people like us to sign as your rude type or experience. But you just take a minute off players. You know, Moise Keane conceivably could, you know, if he obviously sorts out his developments and gets used to the league quicker, he could easily take minutes off with Charleston and Dominic Calkhalvin. And see if you have another striker that mixed in. You've got to play it in the wage. He's probably not going to do a lot. And we've already got Shane Towson, who's probably going to be unless we can get rid of him. He's going to stick around like a bad smell now, isn't he? So unless we can get rid of him, I just doubt it. And obviously, again, I think Marcel Brands wants to bring Ella Sims or how do we play this through? Yeah, he doesn't want to clog the position with other players again. Yeah, it will be the right hand side. So over off the right hand side, we've seen a link with Hamers, Rodríguez. Again, it could be quite simply a lazy link, but he does. He has himself said he wants to work with Antelotti again, which is a bit of a, you know, that's going to always add a little bit of weight to any story. I think Ryan was rid of a face that believed he wasn't interested in alone. Now they think they're just saying, well, yeah, we don't want him. So if he wants to go out somewhere, he can. Well, I mean, what do you make of him? He's obviously a hugely talented footballer. He's a true pair of footballer. You know, the negatives with him, you know, I can't really go as a player. He's a bad player because he's not. There's no way I could say that he's wonderfully talented footballer. He's just injury prone. And if you're ever, and if it's alone, you take the chance maybe. OK, you take that chance. However, if you're paying him a lot of money and he's injured, I think he's missed at least 10, 15 games nearly every season for the last four or five. He's missed a lot of games. Yeah, it's a risk. Now, don't be wrong, it's great for the profile of every one. He isn't a wonderful player again. I think again, he probably suits the left-hand side role more than the right-wing role because he's not really direct. He's more of a player between the lines. He can score goals from distance. So yeah, again, you know, don't be wrong. I think I shot away with him by an unit, didn't he? Andriom Llywodraith, yeah. Andriom Llywodraith, sorry. And I think, you know, he'd be a great player for Evan to sort of hang my heart on the sense of, you know, he's playing for Evan. But again, I'd rather us find the player who's who's going to, he's going to stay long term, really. I think Amazon's lovely, he's looking to, you know, you know, re-re-re-re-re-up his career, really, in a sense. He's drifted for a couple of seasons. A lot of his reputation is based on the World Cup, if we're honest. He has, but he is a good player. He did well by an unit that went wrong. But his best is best at, you know, the most memorable and consistent run he had was in that World Cup where he was probably the star player. That's why Real Madrid signed him. I think he's struggled and managers find it hard to fit him in a team. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's hard to say no to a player with that ability, but I just don't think he fits the thoughts of whatever he's looking for. And because of his injuries and the way he'd be on it, it's quite a risk. But, you know, in my son, Carl, I think it's where at the risk. And he is a match winner on his day. You know, he can see teams apart. You only see the impact of Bruno Fernandez as a man united, that type of player. And maybe he'll take the risk, but I just don't see it. You know, I hope you're looking at your right wingers and, you know, for 23 to 26 age bracket, really. Yeah, I mean, 29 is neither of the eagles now. So he's again, he likes it. Yeah, so it's not really the right way to be taking out a 31 year old winger to try to put a 30 year old on that. Don't get me wrong, technically, he's better than Theo, but then arguably you get more of a game plan of Theo in terms of what I mean by that is he sticks to what he's asked to do. Or I think he can defend you. And also with, you know, the problem of other injury issues. So you're just having that on top, really. See, yeah, I think Theo will stay anyway. I think he's going to be the right winger next season. Well, if the report is incorrect that Carlo doesn't like him, I'm not too sure how true that is, bro. I just think he's a backup. He's not a bad player to have in the squad. No, no, we should back up. Who would you be going for then over on that right hand side? If you look at Cengizunde, you'd look at Ferran Torres, who plays in the 4-4-2 of Valencia. He's not really direct, but he scores goals. You'd look at, you know, Shukwais, he plays for Villareal, who's a good player. I mean, you're big fans of Crepen Theatre, of course. You play as a club bruise, you play as a right wing back or on the wing. You can obviously defend that attack. And I think he is a top five league level player. People like Dwight McNeill. It's a bit of a risk, you know, he plays in this. I think he's a, I know you're a fan. But he sticks out like a sore thumb for Bentley because he's the only player who's got any fflair and billets. But again, he plays best off the left, you know, with balls in, moving to the right. Will he be as effective? Maybe, maybe not. So maybe there's options out there on the rise. It's just it's it's finding goals. We need a 10 goals score from that position. So it's finding someone who's going to come and come to the Premier League again, not everyone. It's the ground runs. People might have to be patient if it was a Shukwaisy, maybe an under who's obviously playing in the Italian league. But yeah, there are options there. The good options I really like. Sheng is under, I think people are obviously a bit wary of the Turkish players because of what's happened with Shentos, but he's a much, much higher level of a player. He's quick, isn't he? He's quick and direct with Sheng, isn't he? You know, both, yeah, can take a man on, stand people up, you know, create the score goals. That's what we need. Yeah. And again, Romer, apparently, look, you know, they'd be happy to see him go out the door. So AB1, I think the at his own interest on one, because I think we could probably get him at a good price. He's only 20, I think, or 21. So he's got room to grow. And he, like you say, can play two positions as well there. He can play. He's got the left as well, yeah. Exactly. So he's quite electric pace as well. So that's what I think we need more than anything. We need someone who's got a little bit of ability on the ball with that pace there on that right hand side. But someone like under coming inside and then for an overlap and right back, I think. That was what Brands and Silver wanted, didn't they, last year? And we know anti-Lotty's probably looking a very similar as well. So it's going to be interesting. I think the big consideration is as we've seen with the 442, you have to have wingers who can help the full backs defend because it's very much, there's going to be overlaps, you know, overloads on the right or the left hand side. And you need that defensive assurance. We saw obviously sort of whooping to do. You get exposed in the last one game of times. We saw it in the Chelsea game at times as well. You need that solidity and the structure from the wingers as well. And that's why 442 is so hard. If you look at other teams, you play 433, the midfield is the free midfield. There's a lot of wingers not to defend, whereas in the 442, it's a lot more expected of the wingers in terms of work, right? Yeah, definitely, definitely. Well, let's leave it there, Mike, cos that was a fascinating shot. As always, enjoy our little shot and have missed them. I want these players, and hopefully, hopefully, we'll see some uptane in this fight against what's going on at the moment. And we can, in the future, get back to some normality and get back in the studio and discuss these players, discuss these players with all the XG maps and everything else that we love to go over. All the stuff I love to go over. All the stuff, don't worry about him, about us. But like I say, Mike, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy day to come on. No worries, man. So there you go. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. Me and Andy talking there about possible transfers forever. What do you want anything we've talked about? Let us know. Make sure you give Andy a follow on Twitter at El Pavoti FTBL. There, check him out on there. Make sure you subscribe, give the video a thumbs up. If you want more videos, including me and Andy in the future on Patreon, doing tactics and stats and stuff, then get over there as well. Ties, Andy. Take it easy.

First I want to thank First Capital Realty for providing this amazing opportunity that has allowed me and other students to see an idea through to realization. I also want to thank Emily Carr University for facilitating this opportunity. Lichen itself is an organism that exists due to the symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae. A potent metaphor for the potential of collaboration and reciprocity between the social and cultural ecosystems we are a part of, and the synergy between built and natural environments. I feel so grateful to have been given the opportunity to gain knowledge that could only be learned through this experience.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y20DMj6iL9o", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

length and then i can see how the final product will look like i know all that is captured in a form this is the exact specification i am taking about its literally exact because there are no scope for trial the finished product is exactly what i see its not that exact because it did take photographs took photographs from different angles तो आप प्रत खुए सढ़ों than that was also uploaded okay,

has missed a pin at some point okay, some specification required by the machine has not been captured okay, the machine will समच्टा नहीं है like the query i told about that machine will query by the time i am not there the master is not there so the photograph is there it has to that those are those were stitched i think he said hyderabad or bungalow or something so the person over there will look at the photograph and supply whatever is the missing number to the machine but the machine is expected to labor and this is the future of all specifications you will see technology requires precision let us look at an example of 3D printing 3D printing is not like our document hall dhalia it needs exact measures of at every height how much is the how much the two types of that is what my son told me two types of 3D printing machines one is a depositing machine and one is a cutting machine cutting machine or burning machine and it goes always like this how much to deposit at what angle that is the depositing machine and how much to cut off from a solid block that is the cutting machine but the specifications have to be exact at each level just like a printer doing a dot matrix dot no this height peak all 360 make how much to cut precision is going to be the way for the future because most of the jobs are going to be done by machines what is the thing in software corresponding your drag and drop all drag and drop you have to be you are only specifying like that is machine generated for you do not generate all drag and drop kind of things definite trend towards precise specifications specifications means precise next we are going to learn a little bit about a function again it is part of a specification so what is the function what is the specification what is the function specifications specifies things about an object an apple a trouser that is specification function talks about action or activity so in real life what are the functions we will go to software function later action activity a mall guard india again the same thing we do not specify and we do not define functions also properly the mall guard you all go on to malls there is a machine there and there is a guard in front of it now why the machine is there guard is going to frisk me i have no idea but he does that because he is in airport now ostensibly the function of the guard in not to allow a terrorist in and does the guard know what to do if a terrorist actually comes in that is what i call incomplete specification but look at the u.s. teller it is a complete specification if you are held up there is a button only there is alarm button which is alarm with the police station the teller is told that if there is a raise do not press the button it is not that if you can do it somebody else might do it for you dont put your life to risk complete specification same function complete specification so again incomplete versus complete a function see specification is two things function specified two things what is the processing what is the input what is the output and it has to be complete so now let us see what is the office guard nowadays the office is like this they open the door you swipe a card they open the door so why is the guard required he is supposed to keep watching so i look at his function is everyone swiping what they call as tailgating tailgating is to be prevented that is his job you would say it is complete what to do if somebody has walked in behind somebody without swiping he has to stop him and ask him to swipe is it complete it is not you see a box and it is not do it and nobody know where it is written it is not a written specification what are the exceptions so again for a function you have to write exceptions exceptions errors are things which have to cover in a function it is not covered i had the problem when tc's gave me a laptop very early because i was senior the security guard gave instructions that each laptop they have to enter they gave me a laptop i took it home i brought it back he said you have to make a enter entry i made the entry because i dont argue with rules i went up and gave my laptop away i said i will not enter i said does ram durai enter is see your laptop if it does not then i will not the fact that a laptop has been given to me means i am senior enough then the same rule should apply if ram durai does not enter i will not enter take the laptop back i did not need it i did not ask for it the hard way guy did not know what to do with the laptop you are assigned to me there is no return after that he went and got and i got sanction for everybody all tc's laptops i dont have to make an entry you trust me that is why you give me a laptop then why i have to enter exception i have to be documented so i made the exception documented and it worked my boss was also like that he was also an ITL when we went to US tc's used to give some money for apartment that was not enough both of us went and i was damn scared i had just joined tc's 2 years that was the second year i was in tc's and a senior boss my boss both of us were there we were both given some 750 dollars or something some 1000 dollars each apartment booking me 1500 dollars chala gaya poora because they take one month and tc's are not given that was the allowance system we were literally down to some 10 to 15 dollars each itna kam halata ok and that rm tells him i can give you money i have got money resident manager but you have to give loan application because he was senior no i will not give loan application i don't need a loan so he refused to make an exception for himself because he was senior that guy was making an exception to loan application luckily he talked to ram that is one more thing about communication he was tamil ram was tamil so they used to talk in tamil that i never did because i failed left out whenever i used both of us used to go there they will start talking in something in tamil and i don't know what the hell i am supposed to do there i had lot of maharasins with me but i never talked in marathi because there were a couple of other people also who knew actually marathi but that is to be avoided like he refused to make an exception stuck around got his money after talking to ram i did not know what to do abhi khana nahi milega next day aisa jagarta rahega to then finally when he went back after 2 months he changed the thesis policy saying that additional 500 dollars has to be given to each employee not only for me good fellow principal guy but i was there for the first time you also have to start observing everyday roles just see does he know everything because exceptions are never never documented and you have to start thinking what exceptions that role will come when you write big systems the robustness of the system is on the not on what the usual function does what it does in exception throughout tcs i had a reputation i will break anything in the first 5 minutes if i cant break anything in the first 5 minutes i will get upset whenever somebody used to come and show to me his program the first thing i will do is i will look at exceptions is he handling exceptions i had you know gave me a program we required certain format i fed him my resume whatever the first file i saw on my system you cant do this what do you mean i cant do you are accepting input file i am giving input file next day naya next day now you can feed anything to it then i will fix that problem why will i test then what i fed him was correct format but wrong values this comes from testing this is the part of specification which you have to think about good specification and testing go together it comes naturally to me if you expect an integer feed 0 if you expect an integer feed minus 1 and since it was text file if it is certain guaranteed failure if you expect an integer feed 15 digits guaranteed failure nobody takes care of it extremely difficult to take care of so i played it it was a part of his learning what is correct what is correct is what takes care of exceptions and i told him that time the fact that you have come to me means your program is working you will not come to me with a non working program correct only thing i have to check is whether it is working properly for wrong inputs yeah so that is very important exceptions are very important cover all events and associated actions each and every input event that happens you have to cover okay completeness is the essential requirement for defining a function alright my favorite when i used to take interviews lot of interviews i used to ask each candidate to write a function because i said i will not accept anybody who has not written a program and given it to me okay and one of my favorite questions was this very favorite question a software unit there is input and there is output there is some processing that is all okay any software unit has got these three okay so you need three separate specifications for it you need to specify what is the input what is the output and what you are going to do with the input to produce the output three things are required in a specification okay input cannot be of three types okay you can have parameter input globals which are available which people forget okay which globals is my function accessing which globals are available for me should be documented as a part of the function it can be a very simple variable it can be a structure it can be a database table it can be anything okay and lastly user interaction what is the user going to supply okay output as one more type apart from this okay apart from the top three return value the function can also give a return value back additionally the function should have precise handling of errors and exceptions okay there is a difference between an error and exception which we will see later that is why I said errors slash exceptions you should specify that okay now we come back to this this was my standard problem I used to give write a function which accepts an integer returns a factorial after I have done the interview the last thing okay I had a whole series I was the second interviewer second and final interviewer okay now there is some people will start trickling in you may say take the pen go outside complete the function when you complete the function you wait there I will call you okay then I will take the next guy you will see who I am I have set up some 10-15 functions to write okay but this was my favorite write a function which accepts an integer and returns a factorial is it okay most of the candidates could do it actually lot of them were happy with the standard function covered everywhere okay everybody knows what how to write it there is nothing difficult about it okay and most of them produce this most of them in some form or the other okay then they will come back okay okay then I will ask them does your function actually specifically incorrect if anyone of them had said that no sir I need more specification he will probably walk in straight away okay because he has pointed out the basic mistake which I have made this is not a correct specification incorrect is incomplete so I will ask them does not work for negative I do not ask them does not I do not tell them does not work for negative I say what happens if I pass negative you know what is the correct answer it does not go into a loop it ends after it become minus 1 minus 2 reaches the maximum negative then it come back to maximum positive then it come back to 0 and stops okay that is the correct answer if he gives me that answer again he will get through okay because he is showing some knowledge what happens it normally does not he fixes it if dal that the smart ones also ask me what should be the value for 0 obviously smart over that is the next stage see I learn a lot about the candidate from the way he responds to his bug I am not only looking at programming I am looking at does he understand a bug does he know how to fix it so most of these two things does not work for 0 very easy just put two if statements on top ask the specification negative what to do with 0 the third portion of specification which is missing here okay the return value I have said return value is integer correct it does not work for a number like 25 the third question I am asking if I pass you 25 will your function work most of them say yes it will because if I pass you 25 it will work okay then I point out to them there is some maximum value what will happen then I ask them to fix it it is extremely difficult to fix okay you have to know that it is a max end okay if you do not know how will you know how will you fix it you have to look for change of sign okay okay so it does not work for large input so what is the correct specification of this this is the correct specification okay you have to specify you have to say what are the exceptions okay it returns a factorial except when okay input is negative it returns 0 and prints error on standard standard error input is negative if input is 0 it returns 0 error on standard input is 0 if factorial exists maximum allowed integer it returns 0 and prints the error input too large okay is this the right specification can anyone tell me that is forget that that is an error 0 factorial should not be 1 according to me but that is okay defined as 1 remove that okay is this the right specification it is not okay because you have to understand error handling okay a library function is actually a slave function okay it is providing a service to an application okay so no library function can print an error okay it can give an exception it cannot print an error okay they do not display error go back to unix okay you say it will return this value do you know that the scanf command in unix it returns the number of this patterns matched you do not know because you have not used it like that the scanf is designed to tell you i do percentage d percentage c and all that how many of those percentages is matched scanf returns a value printf returns a value most of the unix functions are designed to return a value which will always keep ignoring okay so if i have matched the record one of the things to do is i have tried to match three fields one flow float one decision how many fields i have matched that is returned by scanf that is my first level of error okay so basically library functions generally return an error and most of the unix things you will find okay other important thing is when you write an application system how you will handle error is extremely important okay generally errors have to be handled in one standard way are you going to send an sms you can send an error by sms i do not know live system can send an sms okay if it is online you are nowadays you have got the smart homes you ask the home to do something switch on the ac exception oga power nahi hai how will you tell so error handling depends on the application it does not depend on the library function at all whatever is there the application decides okay how to handle the error whether it should be alert okay or whether it should be there is some some people have an error box there the error will appear there but it is up to the application who are designing the application also has to design what how i will handle errors how i will display errors very important thing about a specification okay library functions will return an error status generally applications have to look at it and then inquire what is the error okay then you can give the specific message okay and then report the message to the user i size oga okay this is a standard method okay so this is what should be the correct specification if i am writing a library function okay i say what is the input i say what is the output i also say what are the errors what are the error codes and how you can get them okay standard way of writing library functions okay error code will not be code 1 to 3 and by the way if you are writing a big system okay generally there is an appendix in the end okay which talks about error code 1 this is the message error code 2 this is the message error code 3 this is the message because the whole system has got a whole set of error codes okay and there was a single report error function which takes an error code and reports the error okay so your application when you write the application code you are not bothered error status okay say your error code find out or report it is outside your thing there is standard way of doing it general way of doing it okay so this is i am bringing this up only to illustrate such a small thing as factorial function so much work is required to give an exact specification okay now let us go to very unusual specification which i had to do then i need more time let me finish this i will come back later alright see whatever i have written is there okay whatever i am covering next is already given in the text form to you okay if you need me to come and explain something to you we can have 15 minute session of doubt clearing we can do the flip classroom okay i have already given a written document i have given samples sample code of a specification which i had written 3 years back okay what are the various fields in that what are the missing fields in that okay i have given the next big system why it is done all that explanation is there another function if you have any doubts you need a thing you tell her or tell doctor what i can come back and do doubt clearing or i can continue it is up to you okay but exception and errors we will just cover now what is the difference between exception error error is when the code returns i called somebody is reported error it comes back to me exception is some sort of a catastrophe exception where the application cannot proceed file not found okay generally i can handle it but database not found something like that unable to connect okay so those are the exceptions application cannot proceed and flow is interrupted that is the difference and generally i hate you get what is that thing you get error 404 very useless okay so you should catch exceptions and you should tell the user okay how to proceed because it is a system error the user does not know dont tell him it is some error 404 he does not care what is the 404 or 405 and then some jango error or something some stupid thing okay it is necessary for you if you are writing profession specifically you catch the exception and report what error is in what issue okay	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2Iej8fEV3Y", "license": "Creative Commons -

This is a one box break. Pick your teams number 27, guys. So here we go. That's real, guys. So we have two boxes right there of Diamond Icons. Here is the list of customers that bought in in the R&B, or sorry, straight up. And obviously R&B teams will show that right now. We got that. And then of course we have this list right here with those teams there. Boom. Now as you can see, as you can see, there's two boxes here. They both have an X. So letting you know they're from the same case. Now what we're gonna do is we're gonna switch scenes really quick and generate a number. So if we go one, two, three for the top, four, five, six for the bottom box. We use which one that we're gonna use. And boom, two. One, two, three, we're gonna go with the top box. So this box here will be for the last one, number 28. First one here, guys, might be the relic, okay? But Ichiro for the Seattle Mariner. And that's gonna go two out of 10. So not, it's focusing correctly or what? What's going on here? I think you guys can see that pretty good though, right? But I don't know if the auto focus is on. But that's two out of 10. Let me see really quick one second. We got a new camera here, so. Okay, that's that one over there. There we go. It's much better, right? I'll leave it like that. Haven't done one yet, Jilo, but our R&B is down to two left, so just waiting for that to fill, and then we can rip that next one. All right, so next one there for the Mariners, and that is also part of the 15 team of R&B, so that's spot two. Two is big dog Rob. There you go, man. So on the board already. All right, next one is a Walker Beeler for the Dodgers. That is number back here, five out of five. Nice one there for the Dodgers. LAD part of the 15 team R&B as well. Spot five is going to Ed. He was pitching not too long ago. Should be coming back soon, hopefully. Next one is a Randy Johnson that's Arizona Diamondbacks edition, Randy Johnson. 21 out of 25. Diamondbacks are taking about Michael Stapleton. Look at that, man. Still hitting for you. Nice one right there. You got a patch autograph, sorry. Out of 25, look at that. Jose Abre, a beautiful three-color patch. Chicago White Sox, that is, looks like it's 23 out of 25, nice. Chicago White Sox, 15 team R&B, 23, spot three is Brian. Not yet, Rex. Down to two left in the R&B, and then we can rip up in the first case. Pete Alonzo, or sorry, yeah, Pete Alonzo. One out of 10, nice two-color patch. For the Metz, Gary Gordon straight up. But I already picked the magical case, it's behind us. It was looking at me funny when I seen it in the back. We have a Juan Marshal to 25 for the San Francisco Giants. Part of the 15 team R&B, 11. Spot one is going to Richard. That's one out of, 120. For sure, buddy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Should sell soon. Steve Carlton, nine out of 10. Nine out of 10, Steve Carlton, that's for the St. Louis Cardinals. That's Steve Carlton Cardinals edition, wow, that's wild. St. Louis Cardinals, that is Ed, straight up. We have Goldie, Paul Goldschmidt for the Cardinals, 21 out of 25, another one there for the Cardinals. And I don't know what happened in the first two boxes, but this box has been kind of normal. I definitely feel like the last box could be monstrous. We have a Don Mattingly, three out of 10. Actually, we have a redemption coming up, so that actually could be pretty big. Maybe I spoke too soon. Yankees, that's going to Michael D. Let's save that redemption. Wow, we're gonna end it off with two nice hits potentially. How about a three out of five for the Yankees? Derek Jeter, very nice hit right there. And another one for Michael for the Yankees. And again, I may not have Joe here right now. You guys will always have Joe with this. All aboard, the big hit at Charest. Oh, very nice. Let me get a little blank. I don't even know what it is, but I'm kind of in a peak. And just in case, guys, I'm going to pull up the checklist really quick so in case I have to look something up. But this case was starting off really slow, I will say, but definitely picked up. I don't know, Rex, I wasn't looking, I wasn't trying to. All right, did you guys see it? That's the longest train whistle you guys will ever hear. And the trustee, you guys are gonna hear it a lot of times. I'm gonna have gold parallel. Yankees, what is gold? Oh my God, gold is a one of one. Did we might see this correctly? Hold on, guys, hold on. Autograph, gold, one of one. Right, do you guys see that? My eyes are not just squinting, I'm not just squinting my eyes because the lights are bothering my eyes right now. So potentially one of one. Wow, did you call this, Rex? Wow, one of one, Wander Franco, gold, autograph, parallel. And that's gonna go to the random number block, spot zero, Nathan, look at that, man. Wow, that is crazy right there. So that's a one of one, Wander Franco. And you too, buddy. All aboard, the big hit express. The case, that's for sure. And there you go. Or at least box, I should say. So there you go, Nathan, congratulations, buddy. So it looks like that's gonna be a one of one, Wander Franco. And what a nice way to end the end of the break here. Two as well. So one of one, Wander, oh, that's really bothering me right now. Derek Jeter at a five, Maddie Lee, Goldschmidt, Carlton, Marshall, Pietalonzo, Jose Abreu, Randy Johnson, Walker Bueller, and Ichiro. There you go, folks. So, how about now that we're pulling fire in this diamond icons, let's pull some fire in this NT. We're down to two left, guys. This will knock out a whole case of NT. Starting off the day hot, guys. So here we go, guys, thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2jaAQd8c6g", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Before we talk about the youth development policy, I want us to look back at something that happened in the news, something very general, just as a way of introduction. Our DP, William Ruto, went to the UK to do a speech at the Chatham House, I think it's called. And there were a few royal heads who were there. And in his speech, the notion that people got, especially Kenyans, was that it was more of an anti-referendum speech, or anti-referendum. His notion was more against the referendum. The referendum is something that we feel we need as Kenyans, especially when it comes to youth. There are a lot of changes that we need in the Constitution so that the Constitution can back us up, so that the Constitution can be on our side, so that us as youth, we can be as productive as we possibly can, using all the resources in our nation. And so seeing that the notion was anti-referendum, how does that make you feel as a public policy consultant who is in support of the youth development policy that is in review right now? When it comes to a politician maybe who may share his, someone as important as our vice president, may share a view that this is something that we don't need to change. There are certain things we don't need to include. Basically what he's saying essentially is even that what we're going to discuss today, the policy, the Kenya development policy, that is also not needed. The DP Ruto said that the specific changes to the referendum are not needed. So when you look at the DP's speech, he mentioned about the aspect of including a position of a prime minister and two deputies. So when you look at the aspect of adding additional roles to what we currently have in the Constitution, that in itself I will support the DP, in that our offices are so many we are overly represented. But in the aspect of changing our Constitution to fill the gaps and the challenges that we have, especially affecting the young people, that was really necessary. But the DP really addressed adding more roles to what we currently have, which we know we are overly represented. Kenya is one of those countries that has so many elected leaders and adding more roles will not solve the issues that we have. So I would really support what he said in the terms of adding more roles, but not in terms of filling the gaps that the current Constitution has. OK, so for the notion that there are gaps in the Constitution that need to be filled and you're not in support of that particular side of his speech, well, you are in support of that. But what you're not in support of is the new offices of positions that are going to be created so that people can continue to stay in power with what you would have you. Ms. Lukos, do you have anything to say at all about this? Yes, I believe that the referendum is needed for the referendum. OK. But only in regards to the gaps that we have in the Constitution. So you agree with? Yes, I agree with her. And as the deputy, I also agree with the DP for once. I believe that we actually don't need additional roles. We don't need additional. Why should we have two DPs? Yes, exactly. We're overrepresented. Yes, we are overrepresented. Yes, and even in that overrepresentation, there's not really much work going on anyway. So we first of all need to strengthen. As well as youth representation. Yes, exactly. Then we need to actually strengthen these institutions that we already have. Because when it comes to youth representation, we have NYC. Yes. NYC is a strong body at the national level that could actually be representing youth interests in the different political processes. But now with NYC being an appointive, it's an appointive body. So at the moment, it's appointed. The president, it's the government that appoints the members of NYC. And now we don't feel like we are being represented. Yeah. Yeah, youths feel like they are being eliminated. They're just, it's just a system for rewarding young people who are paying allegiance to a certain political party. Yes. So we need the strengthening of NYC. We need the positions that NYC to be elective. Also, we need NYC to be devolved. Uh-huh. Yes, because it only operates at the national level. We need it to also do at county levels. Yes, we need it to be at the county level. Since everything right now is devolved, let our voices be heard also at the county level. Let us influence the decisions at the county level through NYC. But let it be an elective body. An elective body, I see. Oh, OK. Those are very interesting views. And as much as I'd like for us to continue talking about the referendum, there is another interesting issue I'd like to bring up. In the wake of the dosage to attacks for terrorism in Kenya, a lot has been going on in discussion. And there's still, I think the dust is still settling. We're still getting over it. We're still shaking our heads and trying to put our heads up and put our shoulders back. We're trying to get back on our feet and move on as a country. Our president actually went for a summit that we are calling the African Union Heads of State and Government Summit. It was held in Addis Ababa. And some of the newly elected EU chairman, some of the newly elected people in the African Union were also there attending. These are people like the chairman of Egyptian president, Abdel Fattah El-Saki, and president of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and as well as Mahmoud Abbas. These are all people who shared sentiments when it came to terrorism with our president. And what our president was saying is that as world leaders, we need to find a way to fight against terrorism. We've talked about the referendum and how important it is for this referendum to come in, to change and fill in the gaps of particular areas that are not exactly working. And some of those areas in focus, especially today, like I mentioned before, is the Kenya Youth Development Policy. Now, in the Kenya Youth Development Policy, I feel, as I was reading through it, there are areas where it talks about curbing terrorism, terrorist attacks, and curbing radicalization. We've seen recently that most of the people who are getting radicalized, most of people who are taking in by terrorist groups are our youth people. And our youth who keep saying our Wambuys, our Kerubos, our Akinis, they are everyday people. These are not people who you don't expect. These are people who, it could be your neighbor. It could be someone you go to, I don't know, maybe someone you share something with in any way, shape, or form. You'd be so surprised, the kind of connections you have with people. And this person, you wake up one day, you hear there are terrorists, and they are recruited. And it's quite shocking. It really is quite shocking. And when it comes to our draft for youth development policy, what does it say about curbing radicalization and curbing extremist activities when it comes to terrorism in Kenya? How will our youth development policy assist in keeping our youth safe when it comes to the radicalization or the recruitment of terrorists? First of all, we realize that this is the second youth policy. We had a first policy called the National Youth Policy of 2006. So when we look at the National Youth Policy of 2006, we realize that back then, youth radicalization wasn't an issue. That was in 2006. And we needed to review the policy after every five years. And we can see that one of the reasons why we needed to have a new youth policy was to review the landscape. Like, we have socioeconomic issues that are emerging, like youth radicalization. And that was where the Ministry of Public Service and Youth decided, OK, it's prime time that we looked at the issues affecting the young people once more in the youth policy and came up with the Kenya Youth Development Policy of 2018. Now, what I love about the Kenya Youth Development Policy is that it explicitly states the strategies that the government will take to curb the youth radicalization. Because when you look at the first National Youth Policy, youth involved in crime and criminal behavior are only stated as an issue. There was nothing that the government like set out, developed in the policy as a solution to that issue. So the Kenya Youth Development Policies is very expansive on what the government will do. And we see that one of the measures the government is including is it says it will create more opportunities for youth in education, employment, and other areas. So we know one of the main issues where young people are involved in radical behavior is, of course, economic empowerment. Yes, yes, economic empowerment. I'm glad you brought that up because, sorry, if I could just interject, there is an area where our policy states that there will be an increase in opportunities for education, employment, and political participation amongst the youth. So I've heard most people talking about the fact that lack of employment could be a reason why our youth are so easily cheated into this game. They have nothing to do on a day-to-day basis. There are no jobs. Studying a business could be a little bit difficult because you don't have the capital to begin with. And so someone comes along and they tell you that, hey, there's a job in Somalia. You'll be paid really, really well. And the pathway education comes in. You should, someone who has gone to school or someone who at least is learning something in school or someone who is interested in education would know that Somalia is really struggling when it comes to things like employment. So that should, first of all, as a youth, put a question mark in your head. Because if you're educated as a youth and you would know that there are no jobs in Somalia, then you'd know that this person is lying to me. Therefore, I'm not going to take whatever they're trying to sell to me. And so that being one of the facets, education, employment being another area where you don't have any work to do, you're not educated, you do believe the myth, you believe the lie, you go to Somalia, you're expecting employment, you go there, you find out there's nothing. And you're given new clothes to wear, you're told this is what you're going to do, and this is why you're really here. And if you try and leave, you know, the ABCD will happen to you. So aside from that, what were you going to say about employment? And if you have anything to say, Miss Lucosi, about this, please do feel free. OK, on the issue of radicalization, I remember, I had a classmate at the law school. He was called Abdul, one of the guys who was involved in the Westgate attack, no, in the Garisah. Yeah, in the Garisah attack. He was a law student, and he was a very bright student. So you look at it, there is more when it comes to radicalization than just employment. Because education also plays a role. There is an employment. But then when it comes to representation of the youth, we feel like we are alienated. Sometimes we have the capacities, we have the skills, we have the knowledge. We really want to, we are patriotic. We want to contribute to economic growth and development of the country. But then we don't get the opportunity because of corruption being the main issue that is really crippling this country. We really need to mainstream the institutions. Even the institutions that we have, the political institutions that we have, we really need our youths to be heard. Let our voices be heard. And let us also, not just being heard, but let what we also suggest, let it be implemented. Let it not just be a PR strategy. Yes. OK, yeah. And we will talk about that in just a few minutes. But just to close in the topic, I see that some of the ways that the policy determines to curb radicalization also deals with things to do with building resilience and rehabilitating affected communities through development approaches that seek to provide sustainable livelihood, as well as designing and implementing programs on countering violent extremism. So they have to design and create programs that create counter extremism and teach people, like she was saying, giving our youth a voice and also teaching them that this is not the path to follow. Moving right along, you mentioned something to do with patriotism, that youth want so much to belong into the governance sectors of this country. And one of those ways is through electing our youth into positions. But you're saying that once they do get there, maybe their voices don't get heard. And even if they don't get there to begin with, there is an issue because there isn't any avenue for youth to come in and lead. Yes. That being the case, you mentioned something to do with patriotism. When I was reading through the Kenya Development Policy, I saw that some of the values include patriotism, things like respect of diversity and ethical values, equity and accessibility, inclusiveness, good governance, accountability, and so much more. There's a lot of values in this development policy. And now I'd really like us to get into it in detail. And I want us to, in simple layman's terms, for any youth who is watching right now, how would you say this youth development policy is different from the previous one, the one that was written in 2006? Let's start off with that one. The Kenya Youth Development Policy is a guideline to help the government know how they are going to promote youth interventions in its various national development programs at the national and at the county level. Well, one way we see that there's the big difference between the first one and the second one is that the first one was very broad. It was very vague in terms of aligning what the ministry was saying it wants to do with the government priorities. Right now the government priority is the big four agenda. And the Kenya Youth Development Policy clearly aligns its priorities with the big four agenda. And as well, not only the big four agenda with the SDGs, the medium term plans, the Kenya Vision 2030. And I think that is very important because we have so many programs happening in the country. And everyone is just thinking about different thematic areas. But if we all align our program to what the government is doing, I think we'll have more youths being mainstreamed into government programs. And another thing we see is that right now the Kenya Youth Development Policy focuses more on having youth participating not just as problems in the economy but as active players in that. It recognizes that young people are very skilled, energetic, and creative. And they can be an important resource in the society. Therefore, it promotes the need to have young people volunteer in their communities by setting out a place where they want to develop a national youth volunteering framework. So in this way, we know that a lot of young people have so much energy, so much skill, but they don't want to harness the energy. So the government is prioritizing that volunteerism is very important for young people. And we want to engage the young people more through volunteerism in different aspects of the economy. Lastly, I love this. This is actually the best part of the youth development policy. It states that the ministry will develop a Kenya Youth Development Index. So what the Youth Development Index is, it's a way of monitoring and tracking the progress made in programs that have been done by the national and the county on youth programs. So we have had a lot of... So they'll be able to track and see. Yeah, they'll be able to track. So has there been improvement in it? Yeah, has there been improvement? What measures can we see so that we can know that young people are getting better or young people are getting worse? So that is very important because in the first one, it was just stating strategies. So right now, we'll be able to measure. And by measuring, you'll have more evidence-based policy analysis in the future when it comes to the reviewing of the youth development policy. So that's what is different from the previous youth policy. I see, I see. So there's not just an implementation of a new policy. It's more of a way of even cross-checking and making sure that the policy has been carried out. Has been carried out. Okay, Ms. Lukosi, may I ask what are some of the things you are looking forward to when it comes to the youth development policy? What are some of the things that when you read or when you hear discussions or even following the review on the youth and politics, the youth development policy, what stands out to you the most? What matters to you the most as a youth senator of Nairobi? Okay. I must commend the process. And I must commend also the draft because it is well aligned with the constitution. With the current constitution, which really emphasizes on inclusivity of all people, especially the marginalized groups. Yeah, like the youth. Including the youths. Yeah, and article 55 of the constitution clearly outlines it pushes the government to put in place measures to ensure that young people are well included and represented in social, political, economic, and all other spheres of life. So with the current policy, I've scrutinized it. And I feel like... You've scrutinized it. If you've not only read it, you've scrutinized it. Yes, yes. And I feel like it has really... It has tried to ensure that all different kinds of youths are being included. There is even a provision, I can't remember exactly which it is, but then it categorizes the youths as educated and an educated male and female. Yeah, I saw something about that. Yeah, it's killed and unskilled. And it also provides the measures to address the specific issues affecting these categories of youths. All of them, marginalized youth from marginalized communities and youths in the urban centers, youth in rural centers, rural areas, it has captured all manner of youths. So you've paid attention to the detail that has been given. There is now coordination. Coordination of the youth functions. Yeah, when it comes to governance and youth representation in political processes and decision-making, the major institution that has that mandate is the NYC. And I'm still insisting on NYC. I can see, yeah. Yes, because NYC, it stands out as one body that can actually represent us, the youths. Let it be an elective body. OK, to anyone who does not understand what the NYC has done for the youth, what would you say in very short, very understandable words that you could use? Well, the National Youth Council was established under the National Youth Council Act, with the aim of ensuring youth representation and participation in political processes and decision-making in government. So as we stand right now, I can't, OK, historically, members of NYC have been appointed by the governing body. They got the regime. All right. Yeah, and most of the times, the people who are appointed at the National Youth Council, they are people who are being allegiance to that regime. All right, right, yes. So it's not someone who has been voted in. Yes, and they get in there, so they, you see, they only continue being loyal to the master. Yes, so at the end of the day, if they are loyal to the master, when the master says, this is the way to go, they follow the master, they don't follow the interests of youth that they are supposed to be representing. So that is the issue. But if it was an independent body with its own constitution and operations and maybe the development index of just NYC, let it be independent, we could be fair. Also devolving the youth representation. Yes, let us have the youth representation also devolved. We had suggested that we have youth advisory bodies in all the counties so that we can have youths being, youths in all those different dimensions of life being part of the youth advisory body. And we can have influence in all the decisions being made at the county level. Our voice can be heard. We run a public participation and our voices are heard. Okay, so for you, it's more of, because we do need to wind up the topic a little bit. For you, what matters the most is there being, first of all, development. Yes. Number one, number two, there needs to be more voice given to the youth and not through appointed leaders, but leaders who have been elected in, who have been chosen by fellow youth to say that once and so true present us. And as a youth senator, I do hear what you have to say. I have understood your point of view. And I need... Just an addition. Please, yeah, could you keep it brief? I'm winding up on this process for review. We have a concern that... The review of, you mean of the policy? The review, when it started on Thursday. Yes, on Thursday. On Thursday, it's going up to 14th. Yes, the issue that we have is that, you know, we were not even aware, like it was not made public on the people who are supposed to participate. We would have wished it be just a public participation, maybe in social halls so that all the youths, all the young people that feel aggrieved or they have an issue to raise, they can go to social halls, wherever, just, you know, and take part in it. But now we've just had people have been invited by letters. Some of them, they're not even so much interested in youth affairs. It's just who knows who. That's a very important point. Could you wind up her point of view? Because it's like you share. I can see you nodding and saying yes. So I'd like for you to wind up her point of view for her since you are on the same path. And then I'd like to wind up our discussion. Yeah, you see, if you want the young people to participate in the process, you have to involve all young people. So what is currently happening is we have only invitation by, like, invitation. It's the kind of ideas that you want. If you send letters of invitation, it means that you want certain kind of ideas. But what we want is we want young people to be invited, all and sundry, old. That is where, you see, these letters of invitation, we lead to marginalization of rural youth because it's only the elite and the urban youth will give their representation. We go back to, then we are going against the youth development policy. Okay, so we want a participatory process. You want a participatory process. And as you have heard from our youth senator in Nairobi, Faith Lucosi and our public policy consultant, Irene Wairimo, what they've had to share about the development policy for youth in Kenya. I'm getting the notion that we need to get more youth participating. That's what this channel is all about, for example. That's what we're doing. That's what I'd love to thank you people for coming over because what you have done is you have shown our youth, number one, that they could take positions like yours. They could be able to discuss and divide and really give an intricate explanation of policies such as the development policy like you have been able to do. And so I'd like to thank you both so, so much. And as we continue on putting our faith in you, I'm putting my faith in you people and our future leaders and if any venue there is to vote you guys in, we'll be able, we'd love to do that and we'd love to support you people. And so thank you so much for coming in. Thank you so much for explaining what this means to our youth. Thank you so much for explaining what the development policy is all about. And as we wind up, I'd like to encourage you guys to continue following the review that continues on until the 14th as you've heard so that we can understand what we can do as people. Don't just allow the country to run you, run your own country as well, okay? Yeah, don't let the country run you, run your own country. And so thank you so much for tuning in. This has been Youth in Politics. Why in the morning? Remember my name is Joy Mochache. You can reach me on joy underscore mochache. Thank you so much. Coming up, Val is Valentine Wambui with a wonderful, wonderful discussion on psychology on Man Crush Monday.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2wxQNHczrc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Simon, thanks for being with us. Now, yields are bouncing around. What do you make of what's going on in bonds? Good afternoon, Helen. And yes, look, after about a month really of safe haven flows where we've seen really good strong demand for bonds, we've just in the last couple of days seen that turn around. The US 10-year yield, for example, from last month is down around 40 basis points. And so, you know, we've seen a bit of profit taking from bondholders there. If you bought at the peak and sold your bond today, you've made about 3%. So there's been quite a bit of value in that drop in the yields over the last four weeks. All right. And then what did you make of the, you know, the sweeping tax reform plan? Is supposedly coming soon? Well, this is right. The next big item off the Trump agenda. And look, people have certainly got excited by the Treasury Secretary's comments that it's just around the corner. The bond market likes the devil in the detail though. So I don't think you're going to see much movement really in our market until we see some details about the size of that. All right. And very briefly, geopolitical risks. We've got the first part of the French election on Sunday. That's absolutely right, Helen. Everyone's going to be eyes on France to see how that election comes in through sort of Sunday night, Monday morning. And that would be a real key driver. If there's any surprises, it's likely to lead to quite a lot of volatility in markets early next week. All right. Simon and Michelle from Fixed Securities. Thank you.

UC640y4UvDAlya_WOj5U4pfA	Mod-04 Lec-28 Feature Selection : Problem statement and Uses	Pattern Recognition by Prof. C.A. Murthy & Prof. Sukhendu Das,Department of Computer Science and Engineering,IIT Madras.For more details on NPTEL visit http://nptel.ac.in	[ "Feature Selection : Problem statement and Uses" ]	2014-10-08T09:56:56	2024-04-23T23:49:21	2,985	y2Jsa4sgD5w	Good morning I shall be talking about feature selection today let me first basically tell you the problem of feature selection in order to understand the problem of feature selection let me give you one or two examples in my first example I am considering two communities of people one community is Punjabis another community is another community is South Indians we generally know that Punjabis are taller than South Indians it is something that we have seen it many times with just too many persons so one of the distribution features which separates these two communities is the height it is something that we all of us know now the question is if you are given a data set consisting of Punjabis and South Indians and you have measured the features like height weight and certain or some other features height is measured say in centimeters weight is measured say in cages etc. maybe you have around 40 50 such features values which are taken on every one of these individuals that means let us just say you have a 40 dimensional feature vector now using this information how does one say that the height is one of the distinguishing features between these two communities which we know that it is one of the distinguishing features that data should automatically tell you that height is a distinguishing feature now how does the data will tell you naturally you need to write an algorithm which produces the result that height is one of the distinguishing features it distinguishes between South Indians and Punjabis there may be many other features I am not saying that height is the only feature there may be some other features also which may be distinguishing these two communities but height is surely one of them the feature selection method should result in automatically the feature height as the distinguishing features as a distinguishing feature between these two communities how does the feature selection method give height as a distinguishing feature that is the problem let me tell you another example probably even this I think I assume that you might have noticed it if you look at people with mongoloid features basically people living in the hilly regions of the northeastern states if you look at them their noses they have shorter length compared to the noses of our VP who are living in planes now the length of the nose is a distinguishing feature that it distinguishes between the people who are living in the hilly regions of the northeastern states and the others like that if you look at here I gave you examples of different communities they may not be different communities between I mean if there is a classification problem there might be some features which are able to distinguish the classes much better than the other features so this is one of the problems that is there in feature selection now what are the other issues usually let us just say your number of features is capital N features X1 X2 X and this is the mathematical this is the basic formulation you are supposed to select B number of features where B is less than capital N many times being the value of B is known to you sometimes the value of B may not be known to you what is the meaning of value of B being known in the experiments under consideration the users generally have some constraints the constraints may be regarding the amount of computations that he may need to do if the number of features is quite high and if you are looking at something like variance covariance matrices and their eigenvalues or eigenvectors or etc the number of computations may be too large so in some situations the readers the user may say that I cannot have my covariance matrix is of my covariance matrix cannot be more than this size some such constraint the user may put in that may naturally give a constraint on the number of features so I mean sometimes the value of B the number of features to be selected is known from the point of view of the computational complexity generally it varies from problem domain to problem domain the value of B and many times it may not be known to the user what may be the exact value of B that you would like to have he might sometimes say that the number of features that I would like to get is between these two limits anything between 10 to 20 is fine some such thing also a reader may say and sometimes the reader the user may say that I do not I really do not know the number of features that I would like to have so we may not be known we may be partially known and B is known here I have not considered in these slides that I am going to say I generally assume that number of features the number of reduced features is known to the user I generally assume that the number of reduced features is known to the user in practice that may not be the case usually real life problems are more complicated than what is written in textbooks it is almost always the case that real life problems are much more complex than what we teach in the class. So now so number of features to be selected is small b naturally b is less than n now why do we need to do feature selection reduction in computational complexity this point I have already explained to you now there is this one redundant features act as noise so we are doing something like noise removal now I use the word redundant what is the meaning of redundant let me explain say I have just two features x1 and x2 but then let us just say my x2 is 2 x1-1 that is when x1 takes the value 1 x2 is taking the value 1 when x1 takes the value 3 x2 is taking the value 5 when x1 is taking the value say – 10 and this will be – 20 – 21 so there is a direct relationship between x1 and x2 in such a case do you really think that we should keep both the features when there is a direct relationship existing like the answer is no so here since there is a naturally there is a direct relationship one of the features is redundant that is it is useless whatever you can get from x1 you can also get from x2 because of this linear relationship so we can remove one of the features please I was expecting this question when the relationship is nonlinear there are usually some issues involved let me tell you the issues let us let me first assume that there is a cubic relationship there is something like this let us just I mean I have just taken some polynomial of degree 3 I could have taken a polynomial of degree 2 because his question is nonlinear nonlinear means it can be degree 2 degree 3 it may be a polynomial it may not even be a polynomial it can be some other relationship also so I am breaking down his question into a few parts my first part is I am taking a polynomial of degree 3 the reason for taking polynomial of degree 3 is so if you take the value of if you take some values for x1 you are going to get corresponding values for x2 okay but note that here from x1 you can go to x2 from x2 you can go to x1 x2 is equal to 2x1-1 whereas x1 is equal to x2 plus 1 by 2 here x2 is equal to 2x1 cube-10x1 square-5x1-7 can we express x1 also in terms of x2 like this have you understood the point here you have both way relationship you one may not always have a both way relationship right unique relationship and the problem exists with squares also instead of x1 cube I could have written some square so if the relationship is not there for example something like this I can say that x2 is redundant but probably I cannot say that x1 is redundant probably I cannot say that x1 is redundant I can say that x2 is redundant whereas in this situation I can say one of them it does not matter x2 is redundant or x1 is redundant I can take any one of them but probably in this case I cannot say that now suppose you do not have a polynomial sort of relationship you might have something like exponential relationship or you might have some other thing some other relationship in such a case number one are we in a position to establish the relationship even if such a relationship exists suppose one feature x2 is equal to some 10 times 2 to the power of – x1- say 3 times e power x1 plus say some 4 times something like log x1 log to the base 2 let us say I have taken there is some such relationship actually it is existing now are we in a position to get this relationship this is one of the problems one problem is that there may not if there is no relationship it is fine but if there is a relationship but we are not in a position to get it now the second part let me just expand I hope many of you have had courses on numerical analysis okay so you are given the values of say x1 y1 x2 y2 xn yn you can always fit a polynomial of size of degree n-1 right if you are given x1 y1 x2 y2 and xn yn we know that you can always fit a polynomial of degree n-1 and usually in pattern recognition problem you always have finitely many values so here we have come to a I should say a barrier on one hand if there are n observations you can always fit a polynomial of degree n-1 but on the other hand so probably there is no relationship between those two features the feature the relationship between features it has been a difficult problem and this problem has been faced by different research communities at different times and in different situations let me talk little bit about statistics there is one concept called correlation coefficient which tries to measure measure the relationship between two variables x and y two random variables are there then correlation coefficient it tries to measure the relationship between two variables and then there is a theorem the theorem has the statement is like this x and y are two random variables if x and y are independent random variables then the correlation coefficient value is 0 there is a definition of the word independence there is a definition for the word independent so x and y are independent random variables means it is the definition says that probability of x belonging to a y belonging to b is equal to probability of x belonging to a times probability of y belonging to b for all a b then you call x and y to be independent random variables you call x and y to be independent random variables if probability of x belonging to a and y belonging to b this intersection of two events is equal to probability of x belonging to a times probability of y belonging to b probably we all have we all know the meaning of independence of events the independence of events you say that C and D are independent you say that C and D are independent if probability of C intersection D is equal to probability of C times probability of D this was something that we have read long back so this definition is generalized here for random variables yes this is this is the independence of events from here this is generalized to independence of random variables now he is talking about joint probabilities that is also true from here you can go to the whatever you can go to the point that what he is trying to say that is you say that two random variables x and y are independent if the joint probability density function the joint probability density function if I write it as this this is same as the product of the marginal density functions the density function for capital X is a small f the density function for capital Y is a small g and the joint probability density function for these random variables is a small p then p of xy is equal to fx into gy for all xy is also true but this is taken as the definition and consequence of this is this because if you have random variables you may not always have probability density functions you might have discrete probability mass functions also okay so this is the basic definition and from here you will get this independent and identically distributed so IID independent and identically distributed we say that x1 x2 xn are IID that is independent and identically distributed independent means the definition of independence that I gave you that should be used for all these random random variables okay identically distributed means the probability density function of x1 is same as the probability density function of x2 is same as the probability density function of xn and it may not be density functions if it is a discrete probability then probability mass function of x1 is same as probability mass function of x2 same as probability mass function of xn okay. So a simple example of IID independent and identically distributed random variables is you take a coin and you toss it say n times the result of the first trial you call it as x1 secondary trial you call it as x2 nth trial you call it as xn okay then those x1 x2 xn they are IID they have this first they are independent because the result of the first trial is does not have does not make any impact on the result of the second trial so they are independent identically distributed since the coin is the same probability of head is same throughout in the first trial second trial third trial fourth trial etc and you have only two outcomes probability of you have head or tail so if the probability of heads are same in the probability of tails are also same so they have the same distribution identical distribution because it is there are other random variable can take only two values head or tail head with probability small p if I say then tail with probability 1-p and that is true for x1 that is same for x2 same for x3 and same for xn so they have the same distribution and but they are independent that is the meaning of independent and identically distributed random variables we are talking about relationship between random variables correlation coefficient so if the random variables are independent then correlation coefficient value is 0 but it is not the converse is not true that is the correlation coefficient can be 0 but the random variables are not dependent and the example that people give is this I have x is taking values – 1 0 and 1 okay and y takes values 0 and 1 in fact y is equal to x2 okay y is equal to x2 now let me just so x takes values – 1 0 and 1 y takes values 0 and 1 these ones they are going to give you the probabilities so this is half this is 1 by 4 this is 1 by 4 so probability of y is equal to 0 this is half probability of y is equal to 1 this is half probability of x is equal to – 1 is 1 by 4 this is half this is 1 by 4 you can very easily see that the value of the correlation coefficient is 0 but the relationship is this so here the problem is that correlation coefficient is not the right one to measure the relationship okay it is not the right one to measure the relationship you may have so well what is the other one I mean which one is going to measure the relationship better this is a long standing problem in statistics we know the meaning of dependence of random variable I mean independence of random variables we know when the random variables are independent the definition of dependency is the following x and y are said to be dependent random variables if they are not independent random variables x and y are said to be dependent if they are not independent but how much dependent they are that there is no measure how much dependent they are there is no measure and this problem it has been there for a long long time and the same problem persists even now and the same problem is there even in figure selection how do we know that these two figures are related the word related I am using it loosely not from the point of view of correlation or not from other points of it is what is our general meaning of the word relation there is some sort of relation some function or something which is from one variable if you use that particular function we can go to the other way then how to get hold of that function number one and number two is it should not be a function like when you have x1, x2, xn in the corresponding y1, y2, yn you fit a polynomial of size of degree n-1 say that then the error value will be 0 it is not a function of that sort so here the problem is not well defined and I really do not know how to define the problem properly because this is a research issue how to measure the relation between two features this is a research issue there are already very many papers already quite a bit of literature on fact on pattern recognition is actually devoted to measuring the relationship between two features the problem is even now relevant because it is still not solved to the satisfaction of all of us and there is still lot of work that is needed to be done I think with this I will go to the next part of use of the feature selection insight into the classification problem it will provide you insight into the classification problem insight in the sense of if I want to classify Punjabis and South Indians then my feature selection criterion or the algorithm and the algorithm should automatically provide height as one of the main features that means from the data I am getting a conclusion that this feature is highly relevant for classification this sort of conclusions I would like to get from the data by using these methodologies then all these methodologies then they are giving us an insight an in-depth idea about the classification problem which features are more important which features are less important so these are the uses there are in fact one can think of a few more uses there are a few more uses also but these are the main three uses so what are the basic steps of feature selection the basic steps of feature selection are first initially you need to define an objective function which measures the importance of a collection of features which somehow measures the importance of a collection of features that objective function is to be defined first then once you define the objective function the second part is you need to optimize it minimize it or maximization depending on the type of optimization function it is for some functions you need to minimize it for some other functions you need to do maximization so basically there are two steps in feature selection the first step is you need to define a function j an objective function on every collection of every subset of features this objective function provides you somehow the importance of that particular collection of features now the second part is that once you define the objective function then you need to do the optimization maximization or minimization depending on the type of function now how does one do how does one define the optimization function or the criterion function j as I said there are quite quite many papers on this there are very many papers on this so for the present moment what I will do is that I will assume that I will discuss about how to define this criterion functions later but for the present moment what I will assume is that the criterion function is already given to us then how does one do the maximization or minimization optimization of the criterion function and I shall assume that the number of features is number of features that you need you want the thing to be reduced that is known that is the value of small b I am assuming it to be known actually you will understand why I am giving importance to this particular thing algorithm development suppose your capital N value is 100 that means you have 100 features from this 100 features you would like to select 10 features then how many possible such sets containing 10 elements can be found from capital N it is 100 C 10 these meaning subsets of size 10 we can have from 100 features now what is the value of 100 C 10 can you tell me approximately it is greater than 10 to the power of 12 now my question to you is are we in a position to go through all these subsets to find the optimal subsets what is your answer the answer is no 10 to the power of 12 is a huge number after one you have to put 12 zeros that is a huge number so generally we do not like to search all these many subsets to get the optimal one now you have the other side suppose I do not search the whole space can I guarantee that I will all I will get the optimal have you understood the problem or shall I repeat it on one hand we do not want to search the whole space to get optimal so maybe out of 10 to the power of 12 let us just say I would like to search 10 to the power of 9 this much then can I claim that within this 10 to the power of 9 optimal will always be there we cannot say that that means we have a very big problem so let me state the problem the problem is like this there exists no feature selection algorithm which provides you optimal subset of features for any criterion function without doing exhaustive I am repeating it to this day there exists no feature selection algorithm which provides optimal feature subset for any criterion function without doing exhaustive first I will expand on this thing then I will come to you okay let me tell you the meaning of any criterion function that any criterion function means there are some criterion functions they satisfy some properties there are some criterion function they satisfy some properties now you can use those properties to obtain a feature selection algorithm which is not which will give you optimal feature subset without doing exhaustive because the criterion function has some properties but when I said for any criterion function it is not necessarily true that every criterion function has some properties some criterion function may not have any properties are you understanding what I am trying to say the meaning of any criterion function that means you have a criterion function you do not know what criterion function it is but given the set of features it will give you the value now you want to get your I mean optimal set of features now you want to write an algorithm so you want to write this algorithm without using the properties of the criterion function then without doing exhaustive search you cannot guarantee optimality that is what my statement is whatever optimal algorithms that you are seeing optimal that means you are able to get optimal set of features without doing exhaustive search they are using the properties of the criterion function please sure sure it is possible it is possible but for any means it is you should not use all those properties so if you people are interested in you may try to develop algorithms which without doing exhaustive search you would like to get optimal features anyway this I sort of mentioned it jokingly I do not know whether it is possible or not okay but to this day there is no such algorithm so that means whatever algorithms that are existing they do not guarantee to provide optimal feature subset for any criterion function so yes you are not guaranteed to get the optimal solutions though naturally you are going to get some optimal solution before I go into the algorithms I would like to make one more comment this comment was actually made by TM cover and camp and out this is an IEEE transactions on information theory they wrote a paper the title of the paper is the two best features are not necessarily the best two the title of the paper is the two best features are not necessarily the best two there they just provided an example in that example they have taken one particular criterion function j and in that example they have taken four variables let us represent the four variables as x1 x2 x3 x4 okay and the criterion function let us just say we have to maximize it then the criterion function is for x1 it has the maximal value then for x2 it has the second maximal value then for x3 let us just say it and the least impressive is x4 okay now they are supposed to select two features then what do we expect we expect that x1 will be there in those two features but then the example is constructed in such a way that this is better than the rest x3 x4 as a pair it is better than any other pair 4 c2 is six pairs so this pair is better than the other five pairs that is why the title of the paper is the two best features are not necessarily the best two jointly yes this is a I think one and a half page or two page papers you should go through the journal you will find it usually in IEEE journals there are something called a short paper something called a what is that regular paper and for regular paper they published the photographs of the authors now it is naturally it is a short paper but they published the photographs of the authors because I think they found the paper to be really important because it just tells something that we all of us probably are feeling but then probably we are not able to put it quantitatively which they have done it the function j is entropy based function the function j is entropy based function anyway you can go through the reference it is a very standard reference yeah that probably is not available that probably is not available to say I mean it is very very old paper by the way do you people know anything about tm cover have you heard the name in 1967 he wrote a paper with hot h a rt this hot is same as the doda and hot on nearest neighbor decision rule cover and hot it is pronounced as cover but the spelling is cover c o v or as you can see he is an electrical and electronics engineer originally this is 1967 and 73 papers I am talking about we are in 2011 okay he is even now active he is associated with I mean in Stanford University he is from Stanford University Stanford University as you know it say I mean yeah I mean it is a great university one of the greatest universities in the world Stanford MIT okay and he is associated both with the statistics department as well as the electrical engineering department you will find I mean he received several awards he received several awards he is one of the father figures of pattern recognition he worked quite a lot on future selection nowadays it is called as portfolio management it is one of the terminologies that is used portfolio management anyway it is one of the consequences of the future selection problem that has been stated here and he works quite a lot on that portfolio management okay so now probably you have understood why future selection is a difficult topic because of that particular example by TM cover and his student so and this will also tell you why probably you need to do the exhaustive search this will also tell you why probably you need to do the exhaustive search I was expecting a question from you anyway I will ask the question myself now I will give you the answer how is this happening the reason is like this note that I was giving you some examples X1 and X2 is directly related to X1 linear relationship then if you put X1 suppose X1 is directly related to X2 linear relationship then if you put them together there is no extra information whatever is there in X1 the same thing is there in X2 so if you put X1 and X2 together you will get whatever is there in X1 only that one only you are going to get you are not going to get anything extra have you understood what I am trying to say whereas if you put X3 and X4 together maybe you will be getting more than what is there in X1 have you understood what I wanted to say have you understood suppose X1 is a linear function of X2 then if you put X1 and X2 together it is same as just writing X1 two times so there is nothing no extra thing that you are going to get the J X1 X2 is going to be same as J of X1 okay whereas X3 and X4 individually they are probably they do not have much importance but when you put them together collectively they may give a lot of importance so that may become the value may become more I will like to put it like X1 is equal to something like 2 X2-1 yes so linear relationship existing if you put X1 and X2 together it is the same as just using X1 two times so you are not going to get anything extra there X1 X2 will be same as J of X1 whereas if you put X3 and X4 together individually they are unimportant but then if you put them together probably the importance may be more maybe in the next class already the time is over.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2Jsa4sgD5w", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Thank you so much for joining me. This is truly a behind the scenes. As you guys can see, I was speeding up the video here. I think I did... I was editing this video and it would have been probably about an hour because I was trying to take different shots from different angles for you. But this is what it's like when I work from home. This is me prepping for my tutoring courses. Right here it looks like I'm prepping. I'm about to record a YouTube video either for YouTube or for my students in one of my courses. I made a little note here. My ring light is super bright so I must have been recording and now you can see I'm talking so I definitely was. I only turn on the ring light if I'm recording a course. But this is my little setup. I say little but it's really come a long way within the past year. Look at my big monitor there. I mean you actually can't really tell the size. It's bigger than what it looks there which sounds kind of funny. You'll notice my microphone. I have definitely amped up my game that way. You'll notice the ring light behind me that I mentioned. That white arm that you kind of see on the one side that's actually for my monitor. I have a sit stand desk so I move it up and down since I'm working from home a lot now and it's the best thing ever. You guys will notice my keyboard there. It looks like my glasses. All that other fun stuff. So this is me just kind of recording a YouTube video. It's a lot of fun. I hope you guys are liking it so far. Okay so you'll notice here I kind of changed up the view again trying to keep you guys on your toes a little more exciting. Notice how I have my iPad here as well. So this is typical me. I have my cell phone on my desk. I have my iPad. I have like three different windows open on my monitor. Sometimes I even have my laptop as well. So I'm constantly looking at different screens. Like behind the scenes here it's not easy to edit videos. It's not as easy as it looks to update course content. You know I love what I do. Like I'm definitely not complaining. I love what I do but I think it always surprises people when even my family when they've noticed my setup they're kind of like whoa like you have a ring light. Like what is that? Is that a microphone? Look at your monitor and like I think people just think I come on YouTube and say hello and then leave or my tutoring courses are just like tutoring courses. You know online. I never update them but believe it or not my tutoring courses are all updated at least every six months even sometimes more so there's always relevant content no matter if I'm teaching my dental hygiene course, my dental assisting course. I teach students how to prep for the board exam. I teach dental professionals. Dental hygienists how to open up their own dental hygiene business. So I really am doing a little bit of everything and I truly love it. It looks like I'm typing really fast but I did speed up the video here a little bit. Actually wait did I speed up the video? Yes I did. But yeah so multiple windows open. This is what I do. It looks like I still have the ring light on. So I was probably getting ready to record another video. Ah yep see that's what I'm doing there. Or maybe this was the same video as before. Yes it looks like it was but I'm just showing you guys from a different angle. I'm taking some photos here for social media. I don't just take random selfies. A little side note for you. I'm not a selfie person. I don't like taking photos of myself. I feel like I look silly hello. But for social media that's what it's all about. You know marketing advertising you have to do that. I was teaching my whitening pro academy students. I teach those how to open up a teeth whitening business. And I believe I was taking photos for that. Oh and look at me biting my nails. Oops you all saw that. It happens. Bad habit of mine. But yeah you guys I hope you're liking this behind the scenes. Watch some more. Listen to some good music and real talk scene. So I had to pipe in here. I think this is pretty funny. Like I don't think of myself when I'm recording. When I'm doing either a course or recording videos for YouTube. Like just looking, looking me go. Like I'm totally into it. I'm so passionate about it. I've just never seen myself from that point of view before. So yeah you guys this is what I'm like when I'm about to record something. So we're getting to the end of the video. I hope you guys really enjoyed that. If you guys like these behind the scenes don't hesitate to comment and let me know. This is definitely something new for me. I love watching my YouTube people do their behind the scenes. So I thought you guys might be interested in mine. But please comment below. Let me know what you think and thank you again. Please click like to this video. It does help me and my channel.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2QUZYbkjbo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I'm introducing a new year new you Golden Gap course trading room offer. It's a great great time to set your course for the year Even though it's not January 1st yet You want to get the jump ahead and determine how much money you want to make in 2019? What career you want to do? What changes do you want to make in your life? What improvements do you want to make in your life and your yourself and your finances? So this is me if you have any questions you can email me at Melissa at the stock swoosh.com or call me at 929-3200 Gap you can follow me on Twitter Facebook YouTube or Skype It's very interesting when we get into this period and we get into 2019 when it starts you think about all the things you want to do a lot of people say well New Year's resolutions Yes, yes, you can go for the New Year's resolutions But I really think that when you have a plan of action in your head to manifest what you want in your mind first Then it helps you create it It's almost like you are already there where you want to be should really think about all the possibilities for yourself for 2019 the money that you could make and all of the dreams that you have for yourself Don't look at it like work or like a job look at it as something exciting You're starting out the new year Look at the challenges that you have ahead for the year as exciting that you're going to achieve your goals Whatever they are that you're gonna make a certain amount of money for the year that you're gonna personally Grow for the calendar year. Whatever it is that you want to achieve Relationships a new home a new job more money, whatever it is you want to do If you're thinking about day trading it is really honestly one of the greatest jobs in the world because you can work from home and the Money that you can make is unlimited and you work for yourself and having that freedom that freedoms and not have to report to a Boss every day and work your own hours is very very nice to and I'll say you know what? I could probably never go back to working for someone else ever again, and it's interesting because it's been so many years now Sort of trading 2008 10 years and before that really I worked for myself as a mortgage broker So I tell you when you when you start to work for yourself. You never really want to go back It's extremely attractive to be your own boss and make your own money So if you've ever thought about trading for a living you've come to the right place I teach people my method and a course called the golden gap Here's a good example of a really nice move that happened This was fdx it was a short and it happened this week on earning stock gap down closed here the night before gap down in The morning drop fell rallied broke and this is the move. This is what I call the money move This is what you want to get in and out low of the day in the stock ended up being 162 something It was crazy, and we ended up getting this right in here So we take it all the way across you can see the price point this stock did drop huge on the day Eight bucks plus and whether you get out of the morning in here. This was a really nice move This was three dollars plus whether you get out here whether you hold it later Which if you did really got paid it's really Very important to make sure that you get the direction right in anything that you trade whether it's a long whether it's a short and In the case of fdx here It was a short and it was a really nice call So how do I determine what I'm doing with every stock that I trained I rate the gap I rate the gap in the morning using a checklist I go through it boom boom boom and that's how I knew that fdx was a good short So anything that rates 20 points or more per my 26 point rating system I'm shorting and if it sets up But we're never doing it until after the open just so people know that we're not doing any trades in the post or the pre-market a Lot of people ask me how much money do you need to do this? You have to open up a brokerage account You can open up a prop account or retail account I have some videos online for you to read more about that or you can Google them as long as you can short stocks You can use my system doing that and you do need charts With live data feeds so that you can see the price of the stock to get in So you would learn my rating system in the class the next class is in January So I'm running a special to receive a trading room free for one year If you sign up by January 1st you get the room free for 2019, which is a huge offer So you would learn the system in the class in January and then you would be in the room for free for one year So think of it this way It's a new year a new you if you've been trading and losing this is your chance to improve what you're doing to Learn my system and getting the room to get my calls free for an entire year in the trading room And it's also a time to think about things like I said that you want to improve with your life And it's important for everyone to do that, you know, we all want to be better and I call it, you know self-improvement self-empowerment 2019 is going to be about success think of it that way the year of you You meaning you think about yourself and your own Possibilities and the goals that you want to accomplish focus on yourself to better yourself as a person as a trader Financially everything that you want to do with your life So I always say the preparation that you make today prepares you and leads you to the success for tomorrow We always have to be thinking out of head of what we want to do and in reference to trading I'm always looking at the gaps.

In Kentucky Power President Matthew Satterwhite says while he understands their frustration, he explains the request before the Kentucky Public Service Commission is based on a set formula. The Commission sets a rate that's supposed to give a company a utility company an opportunity to earn a certain return. And you want to earn that return because you want capital, you want shareholders, you want Wall Street to invest in Eastern Kentucky. And if you're not earning a return that the Commission says you should be returning, you're not going to get the investment. Many customers are still adjusting to the nearly 10% increase the Public Service Commission granted Kentucky Power in 2015. But Satterwhite says things have already changed. We haven't earned the return since the last rate case. Not a single year of what the Commission said we have an opportunity to return because customers tried to leave right away. So this case is really about making sure we cover our costs and should we continue are we going to be able to provide the capital and attract the capital to continue to invest in Eastern Kentucky. Because Kentucky Power is technically part of American Electric Power, many have questioned why AEP is an offering to help absorb the cost of the rate increase. I think the common misconception is that American Electric Power is the power provider in Eastern Kentucky. They're not. It's the Kentucky Power company. And we have to survive as Kentucky Power on our own merits. What we do, the cost that we have, we're highly regulated. All of that goes in front of the Commission in Kentucky. Our operating costs and our investment. And that's judged to make the rate for Kentucky. And that's good for Kentucky. Otherwise, the AEP Corporation that everybody else wants to talk about, we're in 13 different jurisdictions. I don't think the people of Eastern Kentucky want to pay for a problem that's happening in Oklahoma. Flipside, we can't ask the others in Ohio and Louisiana and Oklahoma to pay for issues that we're facing. The Kentucky Public Service Commission will be holding three upcoming meetings in Eastern Kentucky the first week of November to receive public comments. The first one is November 2nd in Prestonsburg.

My name is David Gibson and I'm on the Executive Committee for the Sierra Club here in Maine. And I am a certified energy manager as well as a lead accredited professional for building design and construction with the US Green Building Council. And I have about a decade of experience with efficiency and clean energy. I want to start, I think it's important to acknowledge the original inhabitants of the land. And throughout Maine, the Wabanaki peoples lived on this land and stewarded it for thousands of years before us. And with the pandemic right now, many of our Native American tribes across the country are being hit much harder than other groups. And so it's important for anyone that can. I'd encourage you if you're able to make a donation to a local Indigenous tribe, like the Wabanaki Health and Wellness, or looking across the country. I know the Navajo and the Hopi have been hit really hard by the pandemic and so supporting them in these times. There's a little bit more about me. I studied civil and environmental engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I moved out to Reno, Nevada for eight years. I started out at a nonprofit where we developed curriculum teaching middle school and high school students about energy efficiency and clean energy. Our program was funded by the National Science Foundation, and all of that curriculum and lesson plans are available for free for teachers online. And so if you are a teacher or you know any teachers that are interested in that, I have a lot of resources to help teach our students about efficiency and clean energy, how to make their homes more efficient and how to address the school buildings themselves and make our schools more efficient. I started out as a non-profit because I was hired by the Nevada Governor's Office of Energy. I led efficiency programs statewide in Nevada for two years, ranging from residential programs for low income seniors to retrofitting public buildings, working with cities, counties and school districts to organize self-funding efficiency projects and doing deep energy retrofits of those buildings. I moved back to Maine. I grew up in Maine. I grew up over in Freiburg and now I live outside of Belfast in Morrill. And I've been working for Revision Energy for the last two and a half years, and I designed solar and heat pump systems, helping people to transition their homes off of fossil fuels into solar energy. I transitioned two houses entirely off of fossil fuels. I made a video of our house in Rio showing how we transitioned an existing 1950s home to net zero energy. And here in Maine, my wife and I live in an 1828 post-Indian farmhouse and we're not quite to net zero energy, but we have turned off of fossil fuels and no longer burn any heating oil or propane in our house. And so that's mostly what I'll be talking about today is the steps that we've taken and the ways that anyone can take steps towards clean energy in their home. If you're, if you're all willing, I'd like to go around and let people introduce themselves. I think it's helpful to know who all the audience is. So if you'd take a minute and just introduce yourself and your town or location and what you're hoping to gain from this, that would be helpful. Holly, you're first on my screen, if you're willing to go first. Sure. I live in Colesboro. I live in an 1820s farmhouse. I would love to hear what you've been able to do. I would love to improve my energy efficiency in this house. And I don't have a lot of money to do it with so I'm hoping that you will have some hints that I can use. Yeah, definitely. Hi there. I'm sorry about my video, but I'm in Portland, Maine in a 1940s Cape. And I'm absolutely very interested in everything you're about to talk about. Awesome. And then Becky, if you want to introduce yourself. Hi, I'm Becky Bartavix. I'm actually a Sierra Club volunteer. I live in a retrofitted 1867 farmhouse that has no fossil fuel, but I know that there is something I'm missing so I'm really looking forward to hearing what I'm learning from David. Anything you can tell me about, maybe about how what happens over time with insulation. Sure. And Matt, do you want to give a quick introduction as well? Yeah. Yeah, Matt Cannon. I work for Sierra Club Maine. And I am a new homeowner who definitely could use some tips on how to save some more money and make my home more efficient. So I'm looking forward to this as well. Great. I thought we had one other person, but it looks like she must have dropped off. So. All right. Well, thank you all. It's great to have you today. So just kind of looking at the taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture. There's a lot of problems related to using fossil fuels on the economic side of the spectrum. We spend more than $4 billion a year importing oil, natural gas, propane, coal into the state of Maine, which works out to more than 6% of our growth state product leaving our state every year for the import of fossil fuels. It works out to around $2,800 per person when you look at all of our homes, all of our businesses, all of industry, as well as as well as the transportation. But it actually works out to and I should add this, it works out to around $3,500 per household that the average household is spending on heating fuels and electricity. And transportation fuels tend to vary quite a lot depending on how far people are commuting and where they're at in the state and those types of things. But our transportation, our cars and trucks are very expensive as well. And these costs disproportionately affect low income households. What happens is that people who have lower incomes, generally have less ability to afford the efficiency and clean energy improvements that would reduce their costs. So they're often living in the least efficient homes. And at the same time, even just that $3,500 a year average expense is a much bigger portion of your, of your total household budget when you have a lower income $3,500 is a huge portion of your income if you're only making 20 grand a year. If you're only making 100 grand or more a year, then $3,500 is not a whole lot. And so, and so these energy costs disproportionately affect those who can least afford them. And at the same time, burning fossil fuels has a whole array of environmental impacts from climate change and the ocean acidification along with it as carbon dioxide is absorbed by the oceans. We're facing an immense amount of sea level rise in the coming decades. I've heard projections of three to 10 feet by the end of this century. In Maine, most of our natural fish, most of our native fish are contaminated with mercury, and all that mercury came from coal power plants producing electricity, mostly in Ohio and Pennsylvania and elsewhere. The fossil fuels are causing air, land and water pollution. And, and it's affecting all of us throughout the state and around the country. I am going to get back for a minute. It looks like we had a couple more people join. We are able to turn on your video. It's helpful to see, see people as I'm presenting. And we did just do a quick round of introductions. Tom and Michael, if, if, if you're able to unmute yourselves and want to do a brief introduction just let me know your name and what town you're from and what you're hoping to gain from the class. Michael, I see you now but you're still muted if you want to unmute. I am, I am muted you. Hi. Yeah, I'm Michael, or I go by Misha. I'm originally from Ukraine. Yeah, I live in Bath, Maine. And just I'm, I'm a Sierra Club member. And I thought it would be interesting to listen to your presentation to just get basic facts. Yeah. It sounds very interesting with you. And I'm thinking about, yeah, well, eventually make my home as energy efficient as possible. Awesome. I'm in the very beginning stages of just thinking about strategizing. Yeah. What do you know what year your house was built? Oh, very old. It's 18 turned out it's older than we had thought like 1850s something. It's old Greek revival needs a lot of work. Yeah, well, you'll probably gain a lot from this. I, I mentioned in my introduction I live in an 1828 post in being farmhouse. So it's totally possible to transition these older homes to much less fossil fuel usage. So hopefully you gain gain some good insight from this. And Tom, are you able to unmute yourself or show your video at all? Video I'm not sure it's going to work out but I can unmute myself. Yep, I can kind of hear you now. Yeah, well because the microphone is not great. Okay. It could be better if I plug this other thing in. How about now? Oh yeah, that's much better. That's going to put the headset on. Yeah, I'm from Harpsville and I just thought it would be interesting to see the webinar. Awesome. I happen to have turned out that I was near my computer at this particular time. So I'm glad I made it. Yeah, thank you for joining us. So does anyone want to chime in here? How do our buildings use energy? What types of ways do we use energy on a day to day basis in our, in our homes or buildings? And just unmute yourself if you want to speak. Heat and light. Heat and light, yep. Running appliances. Yep, definitely. Refrigeration. Yep. Water pump. Yeah, water pumps, water heater. Those are, those are the big ones where, as it seems like things are warming up or getting more humid, where it seems like we're using more air conditioning in Maine now. And so those are, those are the primary, the primary ways that, and I like to break all buildings down. I work with students in schools and get schools as very different buildings in our homes. But all buildings use energy in the same types of ways. Heating and cooling makes up the biggest portion of our energy consumption. And a lot of that is due actually to the building shell. How the hot air, the hot or cold air is kept inside the building. And then, you know, with air sealing and insulation of our walls and doors and windows and all that sort of stuff. And then, and then our electricity goes towards our lighting and all of our appliances, our refrigerators and that sort of stuff. And then hot water, oops, apparently if I scroll it changes. And then our hot water is usually after our, after our heating in Maine, hot water is usually our second biggest consumer of energy. And so that can be another great way to reduce consumption. Looking at our hot water systems. And I am, I'm a big believer that every home can transition to 100% clean energy and particularly with the, with the laws we have in the state for community solar. I've found most homes can support enough solar on their roof to power the home. But there's many older, particularly older homes that have dormers or East West facing roofs that aren't great fit for solar. Although, although I do East or West facing roof, if it's got full sun exposure can, can produce a lot of clean energy. Or there's a lot of us that live in the woods and, you know, don't want to clear cut an acre of land in order to be able to have good solar exposure. So there are options if you can't fit solar on your roof, but then in every single home, there's a lot of steps that we can take to reduce the energy consumption and reduce our energy costs. And I'll talk about that today. So my wife and I moved back to Maine two and a half years ago. And we, we bought an old farmhouse that was built in 1828. And so we've taken all these steps and an old post and being farmhouse and, and the same steps can be taken in any house. For the most part, although clearly the building style and the aid of it can affect some of the, some of the ways that we go about things. The first thing that we did was change out all of our light bulbs to LEDs. The LED lights are widely available now at Home Depot or Lowe's or Walmart or most of the local hardware stores as well. And efficiency Maine helps to buy down the price. And so, I mean, often I see a four pack of LEDs for $2, like $1.50 or $2. And so they've come down and cost so much that it's really worth all the light bulbs throughout your house. When I, when I first started teaching about energy efficiency 10 years ago, a single LED light bulb was $15 to $25. And when they were that expensive, it only made sense to put them in the most used pictures. The stuff, you know, your kitchen light that's on eight hours a day or those types of things. But now they've gotten cheap enough that it actually makes sense to replace every bulb in your closets and your basement and your attic. And I went through and I did that. And our barn has 15 or 20 light fixtures. I found some 150 and 200 watt light bulbs out there. So just massive energy savings. And while like our attic or basement lights aren't on all that often in both our attic and our basement, I think there were 10 light bulbs in each. And my, my take on it now is that if you leave those lights on, like, I mean, there's plenty of times where we, you know, come out of the basement and forget to flick off the light switch. And if they get left on over a weekend, those old incandescent light bulbs will use so much energy that the LEDs will have paid for themselves in that amount of time. And my strategy definitely paid off. I got a text from my neighbor about a year ago saying, Hey, did you know your attic lights are on? I haven't been in the attic in a few days. And so I knew that, you know, they've been running for, you know, two or three days straight. And so it's a, it's the sort of thing where it makes sense to replace everything with LEDs. And LED light bulbs use like an eighth to a tenth, the amount of energy of an incandescent. And they have much better lighting quality now. I know many of us changed our light bulbs to fluorescence, the compact fluorescence, the curly Q bulbs. And those tend to flicker and they take a while to turn on and they don't work in cold weather. And LEDs have overcome all of those issues. And they work ideally in cold temperatures. And so putting them in the outside fix, you know, all the outside lighting is important as well to, to make sure it's efficient. And there's a lot of variation from one household to another. But I've talked to a lot of people who have saved $20 to $30 a month on their electric bill just by changing their light bulbs. So it's a sort of thing where $100 investment to replace all the light bulbs in your house. Easily within a year. And, and sometimes faster. And so I highly recommend starting with this. The other really, really simple change that you can make is to get a low flow shower head. A standard shower head uses two and a half gallons of water every minute that you're in the shower. And low flow shower heads use one and a half to two gallons per minute. So you've got a 25 or 40% reduction in the amount of water. And more importantly, that, that's a 25 or 40% reduction in the amount of energy to heat the water. And so they, they make a tremendous difference in, in reducing water usage and, and particularly the, the energy to heat the water. And you can look for the EPA has the water sense logo. That you see on our left here. And any, any shower head that has that logo is going to be a much lower flow, much, much more efficient shower head. And there's a whole variety of types and styles and stuff. I've, I've seen a lot of basic ones that just have a single setting for five or $10. And actually my wife and I tend to prefer the cheap ones. We find that the ones that have five or seven settings. It just aren't as good a shower head. You spend five times more on it. And it's got a lot of features and we don't like those as much, but you know, like any shower head, you'll, you might need to try a couple to find the one that you really like. Just different flow patterns and things like that. But what about the fact that there's, there's no water pressure when you go to a low flow. So, so what's interesting is when you reduce the flow, it actually increases the speed of the water coming out. And so, and so there's, it feels like a greater pressure with some of the, with some of the better ones. And really it's only an issue if you have really, really poor water pressure in your, in your house. And I've, I've encountered some households that had abnormally low water pressure and the low flow shower heads just weren't a good fit for them because their water pressure was about half of what it should be. Right. So you spend twice as long in the shower trying to wash the soap off. Right. And, but if you have decent water pressure, I think the standard is 40 or 45 PSI, then it's not an issue at all. And I have long hair and I can tell you that it's, it's not an issue until we just, we just got a new low flow shower head. The one thing that we found is we have fairly hard water in our house. And, and the minerals built up on the shower head. And we've, we cleaned it a couple of times. I think you can use vinegar to demineralize it. But after doing that a couple of times, we ended up replacing it again. And I wish I had measured flow from it for, because we got a new one that was one and a half gallons per minute and it felt like 10 times more water coming out. There was so much water coming out that I actually measured the flow. I, you know, I held up a half gallon pitcher and timed it to see what the flow was out of it. And it was indeed a one and like right around one and a half gallons per minute, potentially a little less. But the old one must have just been so corroded that it was, you know, a quarter of that amount of water or something. But typically we, we don't find a lot of issues as long as you have decent water pressure. And if, and if you don't have adequate water pressure, if you, if you have a well, then that may be something where you can adjust the pressure settings on your well pump in your, in your pressure tank to increase the pressure a little bit. So then in terms of appliances, most appliances, the energy consumption of the appliance is, you know, fairly low. And the exception to that, the basically the only appliances that the energy savings could be worth replacing an appliance would be their, their refrigerator or like a chest freezer. And, but for any appliance, you can get one of these kilowatt meters. And most of the libraries in Maine have these that you can check out just like a library book, efficiency Maine bought a set of them for all the libraries in Maine, like, I don't know, five or eight years ago, maybe even longer. And most of them still have those and you can check them out and you just plug the appliance in. And you have to hit the pink button over on the side that measures the kilowatt hours. And typically you want to leave the appliance plugged in for six hours or 12 hours to get a good average of how much it's using over time, particularly with a refrigerator. It uses a lot more energy when the compressor kicks on. And so if you, if you just plug it in and look at the instantaneous wattage, you're either going to get a really low reading if the compressor is not on or really high reading if the compressor is on. And so you just want to get a nice average over time and met and see how you're, how efficient your appliances are. And the rule of thumb is that if you're, if your refrigerator was made before the year 2000, it's going to be worth replacing it. Right around the year 2000, the Department of Energy had a big competition amongst manufacturers and the average refrigerator in the U.S. got three times more efficient over the span of a couple of years. And so an old refrigerator is going to use a lot more energy than a new one. And when you're buying a new fridge, the most efficient ones are just a kind of standard freezer on top fridge on the bottom. When you start getting all the bells and whistles of French doors and being able to pull the milk out through the door and that sort of thing, you're introducing just a lot of inefficiencies into it. And, you know, the little clear thing to see the milk through the front of the door is basically a hole in the insulation of the refrigerator. So you're going to lose a lot of the cold air out that way. And so the simpler, the smaller and simpler you get, the more efficient it's going to be. But they do all have these nice energy guide tags that tell you the more important number rather than dollars is the number of kilowatt hours per year. And that's really helpful when you're buying new appliances. And other than refrigerators and chest freezers, anything else, again, just look for the energy star tag or look for the one with the lowest energy usage if you're replacing an appliance. But for the most part, the energy savings of a TV or a computer or that sort of thing is not going to pay for the cost of the new appliance. So it's really only worth getting a new one if you're on the market for that anyway, and then just getting the most efficient one that you can. Another fantastic, simple fix that we can all do is working with the nonprofit window dressers. And they build insulating window inserts that go, it's like an interior storm window that slides inside your window. And it's got two panes of heavy duty plastic that on either side of a wooden frame, and it basically doubles the efficiency of your window. And if you have older windows that there's air gaps or stuff, it helps to block all those drafts as well. And so the window dressers make a tremendous difference. And what I find most beneficial is they feel warm to the touch. And so like we, all of the windows in our house are double pain, but they're older double pain windows. And on a cold winter morning, there would be frost forming on the inside of the glass. And what happens is your body radiates heat towards that cold surface. And so even if your house is heated to 70 or 72 degrees, you can still feel cold. If there's exposed pains of glass or other cold surfaces that your body is radiating heat towards. And so having the window dressers, adding those two additional pains, even though it's just a plastic film makes a huge difference and it feels warm to the touch. And so the comfort in your home without changing the thermostat is much greater because you're no longer radiating heat towards that cold surface. And window dressers, they do different build sites all around the state. Revision has hosted one at our office in Liberty. They were founded in Rockland and do stuff there. My dad volunteered at a build in Norway last year. And he's planning to organize one in Freiburg this coming winter. And they do stuff in Bangor and, you know, up and down the coast and all throughout the state. And so I highly recommend looking up window dressers. And they keep the cost really low because they require that everyone that gets the inserts to volunteer their time to help build them. And so it becomes a great community activity as well. Where you're getting together with a dozen or so people from, you know, your town or neighboring towns. And so I highly recommend looking up window dressers and signing up to get these for your house. And they keep the cost really low because they require that you know, so that you're going to meet people from your town or neighboring towns and helping to build these insulating window inserts that you're all there for the same purpose to reduce your energy consumption. And make your home more comfortable. And I had a great experience doing that. You know, just on to meet other immunity members. we put them in 10 or 12 windows in our house and the total cost was 500 bucks. So it's a very affordable way to make windows more efficient. And I mean, if we were to hire someone to replace one of those windows, by the time you pay for the window and pay for their labor, you'd easily be spending 500 bucks for one window anyway. And that same money, you know, covered up for all the windows. And because it's adding two panes on the inside of either a single pane or double pane window, it's actually more efficient than a brand new, highly efficient double pane window. And so, you know, as long as there's not other outstanding structural issues with your windows, you know, clearly if the glass is broken or that sort of thing, you know, or, you know, it doesn't close right. Or, you know, we run into all sorts of issues with old houses, but if the window is in decent shape, these are just such a fantastic way to reduce energy consumption. I just want to say one thing that we, the Portland Cat has organized these. And oftentimes we will be able to do some low income housing without people having to pay even that amount so that it, depending on the situation, if the Climate Action Team organizes it, we usually can do a few of them that are, you know, for a low income house. Yep, that's a great point, thank you. Yeah, for people that can't afford the cost, they do have different ways to offset and make it even more affordable or free. So, at this point, those are kind of the simple do it yourself things that the lowest cost measures that we can all take in our homes. Generally at this point, I recommend having an energy audit done. An energy auditor has tools and equipment that none of us have on our own. And so they can look at things like, like this photo is showing an infrared camera where it can measure the heat flow and show hot spots and cold spots and tell, you know, where walls are insulated or where they're not. And so an energy auditor will use an infrared camera. Typically they'll also use a blower door, which is a big frame that goes in your main entry door. And it has a canvas that goes over it and a big fan in the bottom. And the fan is carefully calibrated to measure the amount of air passing through it. And then they're measuring the pressure difference between inside and outside. And so using the blower door, when they start running that fan as it's pulling air out of the house, it's pulling air in through all the little nooks and crannies and all the leaks everywhere in the house. And it's amazing with it running, you can walk around and just feel like, wow, this electrical outlet has a lot of air coming in through it. Or, you know, different things, like often under the kitchen sink, you know, the plumber put in a one and a half inch pipe and drill a three inch hole and not seal it up. And so often you'll find different places where it's like, wow, there's a lot of air leaking in here. And so when you use the blower door to amplify that air leakage, then you can find a lot of those issues in your home to be able to seal up. And at the same time, because it's so carefully calibrated and they're measuring the amount of air flowing through it, based on the volume of your house, they can also calculate how your home compares to other houses. And they can seal it up to a point that it's much more efficient, but not so tight that there's, you know, you want a certain amount of air coming in from outside. You want a certain amount of ventilation, for if you still live in the house. And sometimes they'll just seal it up to a point where it's still safe. And other times they'll recommend mechanical ventilation to ensure that there's adequate air flow from inside to outside. Most new homes are sealed up super tight and then they'll add in a heat recovery ventilation system to exchange air with outside and also exchange the heat with the incoming air so that you're not bringing in ice cold air in the wintertime. There's some great local efficiency companies here in Maine. I've done a lot of work with Evergreen Home Performance and I know they have offices in Rockland as well as down in the Portland area and they do work all up and down the coast. And then I've also done work with the breathable home in Augusta and they work all throughout Central Maine. And they're both top notch companies that do really great work. And I can speak from personal experience that either Evergreen Home Performance or the breathable home would do a great job for you. And Efficiency Maine has some great rebates. And one of the Efficiency Maine rebates as long as you do an energy audit and a couple hours of air sealing have them have them do a certain amount of air sealing. Efficiency Maine will give you a rebate for $500 off of the cost of the energy audit. And so that covers most of the costs. And so it helps to make it so that you're not spending a bunch of money upfront to just find out what all the problems are in your house but you can actually get some of the work done and then they also have, I think it's a $1,000 rebate for insulation per side of like $1,000 for the attic, $1,000 for walls, $1,000 for the basement or the crawl space. And there's potentially $1,000 for something else too. So the Efficiency Maine rebates really start to stack up if you're doing energy improvements in your house and all of the big efficiency companies in Maine will know about those and be able to set you up for the rebates. And also Efficiency Maine website, you can look and find all the local efficiency companies on there depending on where you're located, there might be better options for you. And so after you've done an energy audit the most important thing for reducing heat loss in the home is sealing up all of the air leaks. For a typical older home, you lose more heat from air leaking out of the house through gaps and cracks than you lose through a lack of insulation. And so sealing everything up first is important. Plus it's a lot easier to do before you've filled the walls or filled the attic with insulation. And so if your house is underinsulated making sure to do all the air sealing first is really important. And again, like the professional, the contracting companies have different, they'll use larger volumes of spray foam and they make professional guns for air stuff and the spray foam for filling holes. But a lot of it comes down to spray foam and caulking and just sealing up all of those little gaps and cracks and things all around the house to make sure that the warm air is staying in. And then a typical home, most of the air leakage is at the ceiling level and at the floor because warm air is rising and as that warm air rises up it's finding any holes or anything that can leak out through the top. And as that warm air is rising up and leaking out it's pulling in cold air at the bottom of your house. And so it's most important to seal at the attic level and then at the basement or crawl space or foundation level because that's where the most air leakage is happening. But then other places like in the walls you tend to get a lot more air leakage in the walls on a windy day. If it's blowing 25 miles an hour outside I've certainly been in older houses where you can feel that breeze coming right through. And so it's important to seal things up so that you're keeping the heat in the house. And once you've sealed things blowing in insulation and I generally recommend cellulose insulation it's made from generally from recycled paper either old newspaper, old phone books and then it's treated so that it's fire retardant and it also resists insects and mice and stuff like that pretty well. So I generally I would recommend cellulose insulation over fiberglass. And then rock wool is another great insulation. And particularly if you're blowing insulation into your attic space, you know just blowing in fluffy insulation makes a huge difference. In other areas this is our crawl space. And we did a couple of things in our crawl space on the floor you can see plastic and that's a vapor barrier. That's to keep moisture from the ground from getting up into the house. And one of the things that an energy auditor is looking at is other issues that will be magnified by air sealing things up. And so if you have a lot of moisture in your basement and then you seal up your house that moisture is now getting trapped in and you can cause rot and mold and other issues. And so the energy auditor really wants to control the moisture first to prevent making existing problems worse. And also things like they'll test combustion appliances to make sure that you don't have a carbon monoxide issue or back drafting from your appliance or that sort of thing. Because if you're sealing up a house and keeping all the air in, if there is carbon monoxide or another issue you've now trapped that in and I've made the problem much, much worse. And so in our crawl space they did a vapor barrier to keep moisture from the ground from getting up into the house. And then we did spray foam on the walls. The walls in our crawl space were all fieldstone foundation. And it's just, there's no other way to seal and insulate fieldstone other than spraying and insulation. And if you are doing spray foam there's two different types. The older type is more toxic and also has a much higher global warming potential. So the older spray foam is 1400 times worse than carbon dioxide in terms of the global warming potential of the chemicals that are in it. The newer spray foam is much less toxic. They don't even require you to leave the house where with the older stuff they'll ask you to leave for three days so it can air out and ventilate. And with the newer stuff it's called HFO and it stands for some long complicated chemical name but HFO is the newer spray foam and it has a global warming potential of one. So it's equal to CO2. So it's 1400 times better than the older spray foams in terms of the global warming potential of the chemicals in it. And so most of the companies in Maine are using the newer formulation primarily because you can spray on a thicker amount at once. And so you can get a better R value, a better insulating value just per one pass with the machine rather than having to let it cure and come back a second time. But in other climates, in warmer areas a lot of companies are still using the older product. But anyway, trying to minimize spray foam it is a fossil fuel-based product but I've had a lot of conversations with energy geeks and different contractors. And we all pretty much agree that spray foam is the highest and best use of fossil fuels if we're gonna be using oil and petroleum products in any way, using it as insulation that's gonna prevent other energy usage and last for decades and decades is the best way to use it. And this has allowed us to significantly reduce our energy consumption and we haven't even burned any heating oil in the last two years. And so we've been heating our house now, we put in Mitsubishi heat pumps and so we use the heat pumps for all of our heating in the winter time and then they also have the benefit of providing cooling in the summer. This was one of the conditions that my wife set when we moved to Maine is that we had to have air conditioning. She grew up out in Reno, Nevada where there's no humidity in the air and that's the one thing that she can't stand in Maine is just the really humid days that we get in July or August or September it seems. And so having the heat pumps and being able to use a little bit of cooling on those really hot humid days makes a huge difference but it heats, I mean, we're close to the coast. The coldest temperatures that we've seen in the last couple of winters, we've had several days where it was minus 10 and a couple of days where it was minus 12 or minus 13 early in the morning. And the heat pumps were keeping it 67, 68 degrees in the house. So they run right through the coldest temperatures. If you live really far inland, if you're in Karabasset Valley or Kingfield or something like that, you probably want supplemental heat but we've been using the heat pumps and find that they work right through the winter and are a fantastic source of heat. Working for revision energy, I design heat pump systems and a lot of times what we'll do is we'll design them to provide about 80% of your maximum heating load. And so on those coldest days using your oil or your propane system as backup to supplement with the heat pump doing the majority of the work and then they provide all the heating on more mild days throughout the winter. But it really depends on the layout of the house and the size of different rooms. And so every house requires a different design and a different configuration for heat pump systems. And a lot of people ask me, well, does it actually provide hot air? Cause there were older heat pump systems that didn't work below 30 degrees and there were some that just kind of blew lukewarm air at you and it never really felt warm. And I can tell you that this is my cat's favorite place in the house is sitting right in front of the heat pump with the heat blowing in his face. And I measured the temperature coming out of ours last winter and it was like 105 to 110 degrees coming out of the heat pump. So it's definitely hot air and it really feels comfortable as a heating source. And so I highly recommend once you've made your house more efficient, once you've had an energy audit and sealed and insulated things, the heat pump becomes a really, really efficient way to heat your house. But unfortunately, for all these older homes in Maine, if all your heat is leaking out, you just can't get a big enough heat pump system to make up for all the heat loss out of an old farmhouse. And so you've got to do the air sealing and insulation first to maximize the efficiency gains. And we do have a wood stove for backup heat and the new wood stoves are so much more efficient than older ones. I think this one is 85% efficient converting the wood into usable heat in the house, whereas older wood stoves are more like 50% efficient. And what that means, I mean, that's the difference between needing eight cords of wood and needing five cords of wood in the winter for a house. And for us, our heat pumps did most of our heating and we had fires on a few occasions and during all the power outages this winter. And I think we burned half or three quarters of a cord of wood total. I burned nearly as much boiling sap this spring as we did in our wood stove through the winter. Yeah, gotta keep that usage in mind too as we're ordering wood. And so for hot water, the oil boiler in the basement had been providing the hot water for the house as well. And we put in a heat pump water heater. And what this does is it has a small heat pump unit on top of it. You can kind of see the top foot and a half with the grills and the big fan in there. And it's got a heat pump unit that's pulling heat out of the air around it and using that to heat the water in the tank. And so these are incredibly efficient. You don't really notice the decrease in temperature in the basement. Our basement with the spray foam that we did down there, our basement held like 46, 47 degrees last winter. And this heats our hot water. I think we have it set at 130 degrees but you can turn it up to 140 if you wanted to which is too hot, it will cause scalding. But the heat pump water heater is super efficient and uses like a third of the energy of a typical electric water heater. So a much more efficient way to heat water. And if you don't have a basement or if your basement has a really low ceiling height, these can also go in a mechanical room or laundry room or something like that. So there can be, there's different options for how these can be installed. But it's like heating your hot water with the heat pump water heater is about one-third the cost of either heating oil or propane or an electric water heater. You have a question in the chat there, David, from Michael. Yeah, I didn't pull up the chat today. So let me open that up. Here we go. Oh, so in terms of recommendations for wood stoves, we put in a hearthstone wood stove which is lined with soapstone. And the soapstone absorbs the heat and then continues to radiate the heat for hours after the fire has burned out. And they're more expensive, but it's kind of a calmer heat because it doesn't get up to the same temperatures as a typical wood stove because a soapstone kind of modulates the heat that's coming out. But EfficiencyMain actually has a list on their website of the most efficient wood stoves. And they have a rebate of $200 or $400, I forget, for, they have a rebate for high efficiency wood stoves that you can get, but it does have to be installed by one of their companies on their website. And we messed that up. And the company that we bought ours from that installed it wasn't rated with EfficiencyMain, so we missed out on that rebate. But they have a list of like a hundred different models from different manufacturers. And most of the big name wood stove manufacturers, Yodel and Vermont Castings and Hearthstone all have high efficiency models that meet those recommendations. And also, I think the EPA just came out with new standards for wood stoves as well. And so, you know, clearly you want them to meet the EPA guidelines as well. And so, once you've sealed and insulated your house and transitioned your fossil fuel consumption over to electricity, then you can design a solar array to meet the new usage of your house. And so, to me, the first step, the most important thing is reducing your consumption through efficiency, efficient appliances, efficient lighting and sealing and insulating the building envelope. And then once you've done those steps, then putting in more efficient systems for producing the heat, whether it's your hot water or your heating for the house. And if you put in high efficiency electric appliances, then you can power them with solar. And we got solar within six months of when we bought the house and so I didn't have a full year's worth of energy usage. And I was a little bit overly optimistic. We've got 24 solar panels and they provide probably around 70 or 75% of our electricity throughout the year. And I really, we should have gotten six more and I think it would offset all of our usage. But I was just a little overly optimistic in how much more efficient things would be. And there was just a lot of estimation going on because we'd only lived in the house for a few months when I designed the system. Typically as a solar designer, we look at your past year's energy usage and design the solar ray based on your past usage as well as discussions of future changes. If you're planning to get an electric vehicle or other big increases in your usage, we can account for that. And in terms of transitioning our homes to clean energy, it's pretty simple. It's the same steps in every single house. But what I find is that there's two reasons that people don't move forward. Either they don't know what they can do. They think that they're locked into this old, inefficient house in these high energy bills or they can't afford the upfront costs of it. And so I highly recommend starting with the lowest cost measures first, reducing your consumption as much as you can. And if you're saving, if changing your light bulbs to LEDs saves you 20 bucks a month, put that $20 a month towards your next project and start saving up for the energy audit or the insulation or that sort of thing. I've also been working a lot on creating new financing programs in Maine. Efficiency Maine does have low interest loans that are available for insulation and air sealing and heat pump projects. But they're limited. I've run into a lot of situations where people don't have a good enough credit score to qualify or their project is too expensive. The loan is capped at 15 grand and it's also not available for solar at all. And so I've been trying to create a statewide green bank working with the legislature and now the climate council to try to create a separate entity that would specifically be financing, efficiency and clean energy for all of us. And so hopefully we continue to improve on that front in the coming years. But anyway, if any of you have questions for me, I'd be happy to answer questions for a few minutes. Sure, and Becky, go ahead. What about settling in the walls with blowing in cellulose? Does that happen over time? That used to happen a lot. There's a lot of homes that they blew in insulation in the walls and now it's settled and the top third of the wall doesn't have any insulation in it. And with the newer practices, they've changed the way that they blow in insulation in the walls and so they dense pack it and they force it in there and it fills up the whole thing and it's much denser than before when it's just blown in loosely. And so that prevents settling and now it's no longer an issue like it was. Yeah, I know that happened in my parents' house whenever it was insulated, probably in the 80s or early 90s or something, but that's definitely been addressed in the more recent years. Does anyone else have questions and feel free to type them in the chat or if you wanna turn on your microphone. So when you were talking about heat pumps, I live in a 10 room, 200 year old farmhouse and it's hard for me to envision how those would work efficiently. Like do I need heat pumps in each room or are there ways to install them so that they can actually heat more than one room? Yeah, no, we definitely don't recommend putting them in every room. It's not an efficient way to heat the house and it's not very effective. It depends on the layout of the house and homes that have like a great room or a living room or open concept homes are great because you can put one heat pump in that whole space. And so in older farmhouses, it can get trickier, but usually what we do is we try to put them in the areas that are used the most where you want it to be warmer. So like your living room or your kitchen or that sort of thing where you spend the most time. And I find that most people prefer their bedroom to be a bit cooler anyway. And so often it's not necessary to put one in the bedrooms or just put one in the master bedroom or the space that would need it the most. And particularly if the house is fairly well-sealed and insulated, the heat tends to disperse through a house pretty well. And often if it's not effective to have just a couple of heat pumps, it's more an efficiency issue than an issue of adding more heat into the house. And so doing that air sealing and insulating and that sort of stuff first, you'll find like if doors are left open, the warm air will move around through the house pretty well. And it really becomes more of an issue if doors are closed with families that have kids and the kids all want to keep their door closed at night. Well, their room is going to get colder and it can either be an incentive to leave your door open or putting in small electric baseboard heat or that sort of thing to just supplement in those spaces can be a really efficient way to do it where a small amount of electric heat just in that space when it's needed, especially for guest rooms and things like that where they're not used very often. But if someone's staying over, they might want it a little bit warmer. But typically, I mean, it depends on the size of the house and the layout, but usually, I mean, either a single heat pump in the main living space or sometimes two or three with smaller ones in some of the accessory areas. So for our house, our house is about 1,800 square feet. It's an old farmhouse, so it's all broken up. And it's all on one floor, but it's so it's about 80 feet long and 25 feet wide. And just with the layout of it, we have the main one in the living room, which is kind of in the center of the house. And then we have smaller zones. We have a bathroom at one end of the house. It's like a bathroom, laundry room, like a pretty big space. So we have one in there to heat that end of the house. And then we have one in our master bedroom at the other end to just, because there's no way to disperse the heat through the whole length of the house very effectively. But it depends on the layout of the house. And often with two-story homes, it makes sense to have one upstairs if you want to have air conditioning for the bedrooms and stuff in the summertime, because the cold air wants to sink. If you're not worried about air conditioning in the summertime, usually just having them downstairs and letting the heat rise upstairs. If you've insulated attic and done that type of work is usually a pretty effective way of doing it. And for revision energy, we do free home consultations. And so our designer will come out, well, except right now due to the pandemic, we're not doing anything in person, but otherwise we'll come out and we'll measure your house and we'll walk through and just kind of assess the space. Because it's the sort of thing where it's really helpful to just walk around and get a sense of the space to be able to recommend where the heat pump can go and how the heat will be best distributed in the house. David, there's a question from Tom in the chat. Is there any solution to having the fan unit along the wall at the ceiling? That's the most typical location for the heat pumps, but they also have a floor-mounted unit. They can be low in the room and then is blowing the air upward. With the wall-mounted ones, it's just recirculating air in the room. They use refrigerant to move heat from inside to outside. So the heat pumps aren't actually exchanging any air between inside and outside. And so the ones that are mounted on the wall, they pull in air from above and then they blow it out at the bottom. Yeah, they're just aesthetically really not pleasing. Yeah. So there's no solution to that. They have some different colors. Well, but it's still this massive thing on the top of the ceiling. I mean, I saw the one in your house, you showed the picture. Yeah. And I've seen them in other people's houses and you still have to have this unit sitting on top of the... Yeah, I mean, the floor-mounted ones are pretty similar to a monitor heater or that sort of thing. So having it mounted on the floor can be less visually obtrusive. For new construction, they have the option of mounting them in the ceiling. So it's just recessed in the ceiling and it's a grill that then the air is blowing out of. We've found that those are nearly impossible to install in existing homes because the studs aren't the right spacing apart or there's just so many complications with older homes that make those really complicated. But yeah, the other primary option is having it be floor-mounted and having a little unit low on the wall. But yeah, no, that's definitely... I mean, it's a question of personal aesthetics and we get that a lot. And yeah, if you can't stand the look of it, then we find that that's... And how noisy are they? They are pretty quiet. Yeah, I mean, the loudest part of it is the fan. If you have the fan turned up really high, it's louder. But otherwise, I don't even notice it at this point. Becky, did you have a question or comment? No, I was just gonna mention that in my on. In my house, my heat pump was in my dining room, which is becoming my kitchen, but I basically have put it in so that it looks like a corner, the top of a corner covered. So it's sort of angled into the room and integrated into the cabinetry with a little opening at the bottom so we can manage to do the servicing on it. But I've had it in there for a long, oh, what, three years now, I think. And I am extremely happy with it. I live on North Haven, so it's a little warmer here than it is where David lives. But it has been fantastic. The noise, the fan noise is not significant at all. And at first I thought, oh, do I want that gami thing in my dining room? But I really love it. And especially how much I love not using fossil fuels. It's like, and the noise of it is nothing like an oil burner coming on. So anyway. Yeah, and I had one customer who was an artist and she was planning, like the whole front of it is a plastic cover and she was gonna pop that off and paint a painting on it and then put it back on. So there could be other ways to get creative and have it look a little bit nicer. Right. Thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. Can I ask another question? Sure. I had insulation blown in about eight years ago which reduced my wood usage by two quarter year. So I now use like six cord versus eight and maybe 50 gallons of oil. So I've, you know, I would like to decrease my use of wood and the oil is just backup for, you know, from a way or something. But my neighbor says that his heat pumps are really expensive and cost is something that I have to consider as well. So can you comment on that? Like the upfront cost of them? No, the running of them. The, I mean, what I found is the cost of running them, it's about half as much as, you know, the equivalent amount of heating oil or propane, you know, when oil is at three bucks a gallon, the heat pumps are about half the operating cost in terms of the electricity for them. If you're burning wood, it's probably gonna be about the same cost as what you're spending on firewood. Wood is a pretty affordable way to heat our homes. But clearly the big benefit is in time savings and not having to, you know, depending on whether you get your wood cut split and delivered and how many times you have to stack it and move it, that's usually the bigger savings. And for people that heat with wood, more often they're interested in reducing the time and effort and having to haul wood in in the middle of winter rather than the dollar savings. But the cost, in terms of the cost for electricity, it should be comparable to the firewood. Well, thanks everyone for joining today. I know that Matt put some links in the chat. So if you want to look at the EfficiencyMain website, that's the best resource to be able to find a local energy auditor near you or find out information about the rebates available or any of that sort of stuff. I highly recommend checking out EfficiencyMain and going from there. Thank you so much, David. Great job. Yeah, you're welcome. Thank you. Yeah, thank you all for coming.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2NNQ-IYe_U", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. So what do you get when you have 30 million people unemployed, right? What do you get? Let's quickly do the math. 1 plus 6 equals 92. You have the S&P 500 at a 10 month high. Guys, amazing. Absolutely amazing. Everybody, welcome to another edition of TheAx is a Trader.com. Nightly wrap up show, hope everybody had a good day of trading. If you look at the numbers today, pretty staggering, right? It's not that the market was up, the doubt was up 900 points, a little less than 4%. The S&P was up a little bit 3%. And the Nasdaq, the most ironic part of all of all this, it was actually lagging. When I say lagging, I'm being very, very sarcastic with a little less than 2.5%. But if you break down what the market did today, kind of how it closed on Friday, you really kind of saw this coming. Not in a way that we could possibly see a 900 point rally. But if you look what happened last week, and we talked about this on the weekend update, you really liked what you saw from the bulls. Again, we talked about this last night on the video, bulls reclaimed a five day moving average. And now we just needed to see what can confirm. The problem was, unless you were long overnight, that confirmation was literally $3 high or $4 high. If you notice exactly where it stopped again, where it got rejected several days ago. So we'll get to that in a second. But again, the themes today were pretty obvious. You had Fed continuing talking about further stimulus, as I'm getting a weird alert. You talked about the Fed talking about more stimulus. You had MRNA coming out with a promising phase one trial. Yada, yada, yada exploded again, giving optimism that some sort of vaccine could be on the table, hopefully sooner than later. And then you started here, more and more states, more and more counties starting to open up. And the most amazing part with this type of market, with this type of mental sentiment. You don't need a lot to spark a rally. And not only did we spark a rally, we sparked a hell of a rally. And the most amazing part is when you look, go back in time. When you go back a year from now, two years from now, five years from now, and really think about what happened during the corona pandemic. And you'll turn around and say, scoreboard wise. It was absolutely one of the craziest and most historic times that we have seen. And oh, by the way, there's been some pretty good trading as well. Today was a little odd though. Today was one of those days you really needed to work for value. I think that's the best way of saying it. Like everything that I liked last night, for all you guys who received the emails and all that good stuff. I like things, but I like things a lot lower prices. For example, I loved Apple yesterday. We started talking about it over this five day supply, but I liked it $5 below the gap. Alibaba, which I really, really liked this today, right on the video. I really liked it. It's 205 area. Gapped up to, you know, gapped up $6, $7 higher. And we started noticing that over and over and over again. Tesla, which I really, really loved, right? Going into today's session. All it needed to do is clear the five day, gapped up 25 points above. So we had, you know, we really had a dilemma on our hands. Say to yourselves, well, are we going to try to play catch up on these names and really try to dig for higher prices? Or are we going to wait for value? And the one thing that we kept on talking about last week was how a lot of the names that had really, really big runs. I started watching them stall out. So we talked about these names last week, right? We talked about, you know, too low, possibly stalling out. We talked about BYND. And I think I mentioned all these names in the weekend videos. I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys, this is not all new information. But we started looking at these names, right? Names that had really, really big runs starting to possibly roll over. And the most ironic part about today, the majority of the value today was to the downside. And I know it sounds incredibly stupid to say, but that was the truth. Pivots to the upside were Amazon and Netflix. And Netflix, which I was in three times today, both of them were red pre-market. Because again, the theory was, and this is again, I don't know how people start with these theories or start with these random brain farts and they run with it. But it kind of played out to our favor this morning. So apparently it's bad for Netflix, for Amazon, right? To be in a market that's going higher, that's about to reopen. And with that stupid theory, people sold off. Amazon was down like $7, $8 pre-market. Netflix was down $5, $6 pre-market. And I tweeted out, I go, I don't get it. It must be the new math. Since when did Amazon and when did Netflix rely on the COVID market to be successful? And I said, I go, at some point they're going, they're both going green. Amazon had a really, really big spike. We'll get to that in a second. Netflix, again, those good dips opportunities in Netflix. Again, I was in this thing three times, made it to green, not quite. But I think the theme was they really took down anything that prospered for from the stay-at-home movement. So if you look, for example, a Zoom big sell-off today, shop, right? Shop, again, big sell-off. Again, they were benefiting, quote, unquote, from the COVID market. You had Peloton, which again, I still don't understand the peer play on, you know, again, how many people are buying $2,500, $3,000 bikes? Okay, it's a whole different story. 40 million people unemployed. But again, this was kind of grouped into the theory that the stocks that did really, really well in the run-up, right? On the COVID stay-at-home quarantine scenario, we're going to get sold off. Okay, I could run with that. So today was really a perfect example of that. Number one, the George Costanza market, right? Works. Okay, one plus one equals 96. And number two, again, the scoreboard is going to be incredibly, incredibly flawed based on how strong or weak the market is. So again, if you look at the names that had really, really big run-ups, again, the themes, right? You had restaurants, McDonald's, big, big push, Chipotle, big, big push. And you could go through all the restaurants. Again, obviously, if they're going to open up, they're going to start doing really, really well. Airlines today did very, very well as well. You know, you could see Delta Airlines. You could go through the whole group. Delta, JetBlue, so forth and so on. Love had a big, big strong move as well. The casinos did very, very well. Again, the possibilities of everything open up. So it's really not that hard. If you think about it, there's only 30 stocks and obviously financials obviously did incredibly well. So it doesn't really take a lot to light up the scoreboard for the Dow Jones stocks. I'm going to think about it, there's only 30 of them. And if you have stocks, for example, that are going to benefit from any, obviously, things like flying, right? So Boeing makes planes. Again, let me look at monster, monster move on Boeing. They were actually coming for the 140s, the 142s, the 145 weekly call of betters are stepping in. You could see how aggressively you were taking up the stock. So again, big, big move for the Dow Jones industrial average, actually all the indexes across the board. But again, unless you were in these very, very specific groups, if you trade the names that are well just tradable on a day-to-day basis, you kind of had to work for your living. And the most amazing part was that's exactly what kind of day it was. Was there some opportunity to say, absolutely. Okay, there was definitely opportunity. I think one of the better plays that we were thinking about was kind of that gap down on both Netflix and Amazon. I said, there's no way you can discount the business model from Amazon and Netflix on the whole, quote, unquote, they're going to suffer because the opening of America is back. It doesn't make sense. And both of them, obviously, went green because I know a lot of you guys got long calls on the bottom of the range there. I literally was in Netflix three times. It was so hard to trade. I was taking like a dollar here, 40 cents there. It was just so hard to take because, again, every single time, there was literally an uptick in the market, right? For some reason in the morning, they kept on pushing these things down. And until they kind of cleared up the sellers in these names, that's when they finally started moving up. And obviously, Amazon did really well. I love Amazon again for tomorrow. Netflix looks great, just needs to really bust out that channel. But the most important part is, again, it was a tale of two cities and the most important thing as a trader, guys, stop getting blinded by the light of the scoreboard. The scoreboard is the scoreboard. It's a great conversational piece, water cooler piece. At the end of the day, it's all about individual process and how, again, your process is going to play out versus what the index is with the scoreboard is saying. So let's talk about it today, guys, right? So again, different day, just an absolute different day. We talked about Amazon on last night's video on the weekend update. I said I loved Amazon. I thought it looked great. 24-20 huge spot needs to reclaim. So Amazon finally went green and there was a pivot, a sneaky pivot. We didn't put it into the Twitter feed because we knew how important this 24-20 level was. But there was a sneaky pivot at 24, I think it was 24-09, 24-11. And it burst. I got long on the 24-20 area. And again, it's really amazing. As strong as Amazon was, right? It felt like Amazon was up like 60 today. It wasn't. It was only up like, you know, it only traded up to 24-30s. So it was a nice pop. I think everybody did well on the trade. But I think it still needs more work ahead tomorrow to kind of confirm these prices. And I do believe, unless the market really, really comes back in, you could see a move into the 24-60s level. So that was fun. It was a nice trade. There was nothing wrong with that. On Netflix, again, by the time that Netflix started building 455, it just really lost all gas. It broke 455. 455 was yesterday's high, which was Friday's high. It took that out and it went to 456-30s. This is already my third entry, right? This is literally my third entry. My first one, I started scaling into Netflix, 448, and I added more 446. I usually don't do that, but I love that bottom of the range because I did believe it was going to go red to green. And I was up about 2-2 and change on the trade. I was like, all right, it's going to go and it's stalled out. So I wound up netting like nothing, like 40-50 cents on the trade. Then watched it go all the way back, literally watched it all the way back to the lows of the day, like 443. And then I got long on the high of the day break at 553, went up like a dollar and change, sold some, came back in, came all the way back in. And then the third trade, I got it on the second entry off this 455. It went to 456-30s. And again, it kind of just died out. But again, I liked overall rotation, this thing again. It's just one of those scenarios that, again, most of the beta names were not spotlighted for relative strength. Everything was in banks, like I said, banks, airlines, restaurants, and anything to do with a possible macro reopening. So again, it is what it is there. And then you started seeing, obviously, Roku, there was actually a small pivot to the upside late in the day on Roku. But Roku, obviously, they got to the downside. And here is again, I started lining these things up. These were the names that had big, big run-ups. And just again, forget about even the fact of rotation out, just from the point of gravity. And BYND, I put this into the channel, 3250, a very aggressive area for the experienced traders only. It needs to get below 131 if it builds below, it can flush. And BYND was good. I mean, BYND was really good. Congratulations to all you guys who caught that. So here was the 32, right? Here's the 3250. Here is the 131. And it went perfectly right to the 10-day moving average. I said there's a shot. It could get to the 12860s. It got to 12880s. So again, I still like it. If this thing starts building below this channel here tomorrow, I think it goes lower. TULO, the same thing. 187 for experienced traders only. Remember, the stock is up 50%, 60%. It's huge, huge, huge move. So I wrote 187 for experienced traders only. 183 and 180 will be the next big levels for a back test. So here was TULO. Here was TULO as well, right? So here is the 187, right? 187, the 183. So both of them, right? 183 and 187 are being violated now. All it needs to do is lose this bottom range here, okay? And there's a shot, especially for all you guys who are trading on the option side. This thing starts losing this bottom channel. And again, we talked about the 5-day moving average, how important it is to short-term sentiment. If it confirms this channel, it could get all the way down to the 172 area. So definitely something to watch for tomorrow. TTD never got back up to the 310 area. SHOP never got up to the 783 area. I actually like SHOP again for tomorrow on the short side. Again, right? It held the 10-day support just like a lot of these names did today. They kind of got rotated out. So you can see it here. Here's the low here. Here's the same low here. Once it confirms the 10-day moving average tomorrow. Again, this thing could have a move all the way down to the 680s. Again, if you believe in the theory, supply to supply, demand to demand. Well, here's demand. Well, here's the next demand. So that's that on SHOP. Again, so you can see where the value was in a weird way. So Amazon obviously take on the way up from that 820. There's about a $13 move there straight up. And this is going to look good on paper. This is really going to look on paper. So 814, if it builds below, can flush, right? Experience traders only. So Tesla gapped off pretty much lost everything. There was rumors today that they were going to possibly be added to the S&P 500. Okay. There's a big difference between being added to the S&P 500 and possibly being added to the S&P 500. So they sold it off. So here is the 14 level, right? So the stocks, excuse me, here's the 14 level. So the stock starts selling off. But here's what I mean by it looks better on paper than it actually was the trade. If all you guys who traded Tesla today, you kind of know every single move went down like a dollar, a dollar and a half, and then it spiked up. A dollar, a dollar and a half, and it spiked up. So in a weird way today, although 814 was the pivot, right? And you could turn around and say, well, it did go down to 803. No, no, no. It just wasn't tradeable. Okay. If it wasn't tradeable, for all you guys who did take that initial 814 level to the downside, if you took cash when I said take on the way down, you kind of know what I'm talking about. It went down like two, three dollars. That was kind of the biggest move in the whole rotation and then spiked again. So it was a very, very tough trade. Again, don't let the scoreboard here look good. Sometimes you see a channel breaking down, but you don't realize how tight it was to actually profit from a very, very tough trade. If you did take it, congratulations. I thought it was a very, very tough trade today. So yeah, so BYD take on the way down. Tulo take on the way down. Like I said here, 12870s, next support. It traded down to 12880s. It's a really good job there. Tulo, everything on the lows. And here was kind of the end of the day, end of the day spike to the upside. 118 needs to build for end of the day cash flow. Again, nobody was talking about a two, three dollar spike. It was just end of the day cash flow. Here was Roku, right? So here was Roku. Here was the 18 right here. 18, 18, a trader right to supply into the 1860s. Again, not a huge move, but again, the afternoon combined with a middle range band. You're not going to get this majestic move. So yeah, scoreboard looked great, right? Scoreboard looked great. There was some definitely value today that we took advantage of, okay? Again, I traded Netflix three times straight and I traded Amazon, but the most important part was, again, it really wasn't one of those, everything was going, everything was confirming. So again, days like this, you have to be more reserved, wait for your spots, and the moral of the story is, keep on, again, keep on taking flow on the way up because again, there is nothing guaranteed. So tomorrow, again, you know, we see profit taken in the market. Again, 900 point move is pretty aggressive. Okay, so we absolutely could. But again, there are names that I really like that, you know, setting up for tomorrow's session. I still think Amazon looks good. I think Alibaba looks good on the upside to the downside. I'm still watching BYND. I'm still watching TULO. I'm still watching SHOP. Chewie, even Chewie, even, you know, again, name that they deemed that benefited from the COVID stay at home movement. Even Chewie, right? Even Chewie, you know, starts losing this $40 level. You can get a move lower. So again, never, never a dull moment in this thing we call the trading world. Guys, have a great night everybody. Congratulations for putting in the time to take control of your trading. You're one step closer to owning your future and achieving the success you desire.

UCZKMj3YI0wP-kq4QYpaKdEA	DevSecOps is the Way (S1E2): Compliance	In this monthly series, learn how Red Hat weaves together DevOps and Security to master the force called DevSecOps. This show brings you Red Hat products and our security ecosystem partners to aid in your journey. April is Compliance month! In this episode, learn about Red Hat point of view on Compliance, specifically related to OpenShift. You won't want to miss the insights from Red Hat's Chief Architect, John Osbourne, about how Compliance is handled in the Public Sector. Bring your lightsaber and be prepared to train hard... may the DevSecOps be with you!	null	2021-04-22T19:03:58	2024-02-05T16:12:40	3,650	Y2rEdQOXtFU	Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening and welcome to another edition of dev sec ops is the way today. We'll be talking about compliance. I'm Chris short executive producer host and I'm going to kick it over to Dave mirror to kind of tell us a little bit more about compliance bits we're talking about today or let him introduce himself to but Yeah, yeah. I'll introduce myself and I'll hand it over to our esteemed guests as well. Who's one of our experts in compliance but yet. Hey everyone Dave mirror. I am on red hats strategic global alliances teams basically I'm a solution architect that focuses on our great security partners around things like open shift and Ansible. And we've created this monthly dev sec ops is the way series which I'll talk about a little bit here but before I do I wanted to pass it over to john Osborne to introduce himself. So hi everyone. My name is John Osborne chief architect for that public sector. My house is has some construction going on spear anything just just ignore that. But yes so games. Yes screams, you know, yeah. But yeah so I mainly focus on bringing a lot of commercial best practices to public sector so some of things around people and processes and technology as well so right now that kind of the big industry trend is kind of this push for platforms. I've never seen that a lot in public sector and you know there's a lot of ramifications, not only just technology wise but organizationally. And there's a lot of pieces around that and there's a lot going on usually these things get kind of lump together with things like agile and cloud adoption and modernization and all these other things that really what I do is try to help customers make sense of all that and kind of point them to a well known happy paths or at least as close to it as as there is so well known happy past. Yeah, I like that term better than the best practices. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm saying that there's a lot going on I think is an understatement john just trying to get a minute of your time is pretty rare so I think it's going to be a great discussion. Let me just throw up here. Something quick before you need to know how to share stuff. All right, here we go. So move our faces over. Yeah, so as I mentioned, I don't want to share I want to present it. As I mentioned, this is a show that's part of a monthly security series. This show specifically called DevSecOps is the way it's typically somewhere around the third week of every month. But we do two shows actually within open with OpenShift TV. And one for this month is actually tomorrow. We're talking with Cystig, one of our partners around compliance and that's how we're kind of breaking it up we've got two shows one more on thought leadership, which is what this show is about, and then another one featuring one of our partners. Alongside of that you can see we have three podcasts that typically drop every month. So what we've done is structured it in a way where there's a security category every month so we started this in March. It was all about vulnerability scanning as we launched a new vulnerability certification within Red Hat. Then we have compliance this month April's compliance month. And you can see the rest of the months there next month is around really identity access and management. We've always learned more we've got a site sort of around this and DevSecOps in our ecosystem. You can see it there red.ht DevSecOps, the D, the S and the O do need to be capitalized, or feel free to feel free to email us. If you've seen me talk before these categories may seem familiar because within our ecosystem within Red Hat we've created a framework of what we call DevSecOps methodologies and technologies. This framework has actually allowed us to understand and consume all the security features and functions and methods within DevOps and really promote that DevSecOps sort of mantra. You can see over there on the left all the categories there's nine different categories which correspond to our months, but then there's about 34 different methods I'm sure it's hard to see. But what that allows us to do is say, oh, this certain method, this certain technology should possibly be integrated at this step in the DevOps life cycle. And we could take what Red Hat does, we could take what our ecosystem does, our partners and bring together a comprehensive joint solution for our customers. So, you know, at the very least it lets our customers say, oh, I should probably think about static analysis or secrets management. What we're talking about today, compliance audit and compliance technical controls at certain stages in DevOps so that I can ensure to have security embedded, automated and not slow down, you know, your DevOps process. Right, so I think, oh, the other thing I just wanted to share real quick is, you know, here's some of our partners that we work with, we have a huge landscape of security partners, but you can see kind of where some of them fit. For example, compliance, which is this month's security topic. You'll notice there's folks like Aqua and Cystex, Synopsys, Tigera, Palo Alto, New Vector. You'll see blogs and the podcast, tomorrow's with Cystex around some of their capabilities as well. But this, you know, being Red Hat and being the platform provider on the bottom, which is secure by design, but that allows us to see the entire landscape of a DevOps life cycle with all these different partners. And then we can work with them, work with the industry to understand where they all fit. So that is just my initial spiel to start off the show. In case you haven't heard of what we're doing on a monthly basis. So I wanted to then transition down and have a conversation with John about, you know, his role a little bit more about what he does. Very interesting to understand. You're taking, you know, commercial practices, applying it to the public sector. But if you could kind of paint us a picture, John, of what you do overall like in a given day, I know you do a ton of stuff, but what are some of your main major activities for our customers? Yeah, really starting off with the hard questions. What do you do? You know, it's, it really varies by the day and I have a lot of different job functions, but, you know, my bias has always been to be really customer facing. So, you know, I cover a lot of ground because the public sector is very large right we've got state and local governments we have some are small some are really large and, you know, we have federal agencies who've got DoD and Intel and all these things and it kind of spans a lot of different types of things from hey I need to do this at the edge to hey I'm just getting pretty early. Started pretty early on at my cloud adoption journey. One of the biggest things we've seen is that as customers start to move into kind of newer ways of working and, you know, move into things like cloud. There's, there's a lot of confusion. You know, I think one of the biggest things we see is customers try to kind of lift and shift their on premise model into public cloud. They're not only just the technology but they're different ways of working. So which is a really big challenge right because cloud is just so much different so the, the way you do identity management is different the way you do not work means different the store just different. And then the way you kind of work around it right this whole idea of kind of the, the CapEx the OpEx piece is really interesting. And what I do is help customers with that make incremental progress. Try to change the mindset a little bit, because if you look at public sector a lot of the compliance and things that have been mandated by law are very static. In a lot of ways, they've been the same documents or risk management frameworks have been around for 1020 years right now. So, you know, try to get them to move into the DevSecOps is more of a mind change, set in changing the mindset a little bit because you're starting to look at, you know, even making incremental progress, you know, one of the things that we've seen kind of the failure modes. I think a lot of people, they've heard about different successes in public sector. You know there's a lot of ones that are very public that you've seen on, you know, Kube cons or, you know, other big conference events. And they think, hey, we can just kind of like take that blueprint and copy it and move it over to us and it really doesn't work that way right like DevOps in general is a lot about experimenting and trying to do things and making a small incremental progress and kind of iterating on that. So, moving that into the kind of big bang, you know, everything risk management is all done up front to kind of move into, let's get something out the door and focus on improving it over time is kind of one of the challenges. So where do you see the public sector's adoption of DevOps at the moment, I guess and compare that to commercial industry as well. Are they at the top of the curve, are they just starting? I'd say there is pockets where it's pretty far advanced but in general I'd say it's where a little bit behind the curve. And there's a lot of that because of the things I was just talking about where there is a, I would say a pretty big groundswell right now to get DevOps out the door. In a lot of cases a lot faster and kind of, you know, look at newer ways of working in newer technologies and things like that but in a lot of ways we're still kind of set up the old way where contracts and what's expected and project management is probably the biggest one where it's, it's very like if you go into public sector and you look at, you know, the way people do project management, a lot of it's, you know, faced around burn charts and Gantt charts and things like that and very kind of older ways of working and not as much focused on outcomes and just kind of building things small and incrementally and kind of, you know, pivoting, you know, things aren't working in that type of thing so it's a lot more through the groundswell is there but we're still making progress I think as we go. But customers are starting to make, you know, a lot of headway especially with platforms where they can, you know, bake in a lot of their policies and security pieces and let development teams have that kind of API driven handoff as opposed to more of the ticket driven handoff that we'd seen in the past where you know you wait three months to get a virtual machine and all that stuff so yeah so we're making headway but you know there's your mileage will vary depending on where you are. I think if you look at the traditional like Gene Kim's three ways, a lot of a lot of us are still in the first way, which is, you know, focusing on just getting things through a CISD pipeline. And in general, you know, if you say dead sec ops, I think people people initially you dev ops has been around for a while it's not a novel but the second you say dead sec ops people immediately focus on the sec part of that. They get they think you're initially talking about you that by default they think you're talking about, you know, baking security tools into sec pipeline and things like that so. But of course there's other ramifications in terms of engaging people earlier in the, you know, earlier in the life cycle and you know there's because of way contracts and everything else for setup, you know, I have had customers that have development teams that have never met anyone in ops, and they've never really met anyone in security So, you know, we're working on, we, and we've had a lot of good success just connecting people together, you know, some customers are so big they're asking me like what's the other teams doing inside, you know, their own inside the room organization so. But people have made a lot of success you know I think one of the sorry from this kind of being one window here but one of the things I think that's not that dev ops really needs to pivot to upstream is that. You know, we focus a lot on the Etsy's of the world and the Netflix and the people that are, you know, the 10s right they're doing this and it's so cool and they're experimenting all the time but there's so many people that have gone from like a three to a seven. Because they've engaged security people earlier in the life cycle and they've engaged ops people earlier in the life cycle. And no they're not Etsy, but they made a lot of progress and that's something that really should be probably celebrated and talked about more because most of us have these massive, you know, mainframes or absolute production for 30 years and just, you know, moving to a lot of what you read about with, you know, dev ops best practices or use cases or whatever you want to talk about. Isn't always isn't always that clear on how to get there and kind of incremental progress probably needs to be celebrated more. You just can't throw technology at at your pipeline and call it dev ops right I mean culture is such a huge part of it sounds exactly what you're saying about bringing people together. And that's one of the things we've been trying to say as well with dev sec ops is is getting those security people to actually just meet developers. Yeah, instead of instead of through email like hey here's an email you've got 15 vulnerabilities on this application go fix it right. Trying to get them involved. Although have you seen, I guess in the public sector, our security teams large is it tough for, you know, tough for those teams to integrate with dev ops teams is so is the, is the thinking trying to get more training with the developers around practices or what are you saying there. I would say that piece. It pretty much is in line with commercial in terms of it being, you know, the famous ratios it's like, you know, 100 or I'd say in practice maybe 31 or something like that in terms of developers and to security folks but engaging them earlier at least in terms of the planning and processing they're probably not going to come to all your meetings. But you know that that will go pretty far especially if you look at all the back and forth that happens afterwards where it's like, you know, I, you know the traditional way of doing dev ops, or even the general was like very much ad hoc in public sector after the fact like a built an app. I did all these things and oh wait now I need to make like a, you know, a spreadsheet with thousands of rows in it to kind of meet this come compliance framework. And, you know, public sector we've done I think a pretty good job of starting to automate those things. And there's been a lot of movement there and then just engaging the security people to make sure that you know whatever you're building is actually what they want to sign off on because, you know, a lot of, you know, at the end they're going they're going to sign off on the risk aspect of that. You know one of the other big things I think kind of the evolution of dev ops that we've seen in commercial to but definitely in public sector is that you know there was this kind of mindset maybe five years ago or so that, you know, securities is your job. And, you know, yes, it is but a lot of people are just really bad at it right so you know we also and that's really where platform comes in as we can. Yes, securities your job but you know that's not your day to day and nor are you an expertise in that so we can't. We have some guardrails for you and that's where kind of platform can can help do that and it gives you know the security and operations teams the, the peace of mind to know that developers can use what they want but they're doing it inside the confines of, you know, approved policies and security things that we, you know, know and love and accept and all that stuff so yeah. I mean, you can only train a developer insecurity principles so much. Yeah, I mean it's just not their expertise they're good at building stuff and being create, you know, creative, but that's why you have like guardrails and controls and things like that to help me out. There's, there's so many pieces that to I mean if you think about even like the shared security model in a public cloud provider right you know I think a lot of people are still trying to wrap their, their head around that a little bit in terms of you know what what they're responsible for versus what the clouds responsible for. There's a lot of knobs you end up having to turn those knobs look different on different cloud providers. So there's there's some confusion there, but having a platform is a really good kind of way to abstract some of that as well so if you're kind of speaking the same language whether it be Kubernetes or Ansible or you know whatever the platform whatever the language is of your platform. And you're doing that on prem well when you move to public cloud just having that kind of similar language can can help I think reduce some of the complexity and cognitive overhead of kind of moving and using different environments and things like that. Yeah. Yeah, so let's let's chat about regulatory compliance and Yeah, here come the acronyms. Real sexy. Well, tell us, I guess, and I know you know regulatory compliance, some people cringe at it but it was, it was a way for companies to be able to, you know, meet guidelines easier, instead of sort of guessing and having to do hundreds of tests over and over and over and then they can just say hey I'm PCI compliant or whatever and then that would be a common standard for everybody to talk to what are what are some of the more popular compliance frameworks that that you see in the public sector. Yeah, it's interesting. I think. So right now, there are a few and I'll talk a little in a second but we've we've seen actually a lot of commercial companies using public sector frameworks as well so I don't think public sector frameworks are just for public sector. You know, even I've had, you know, I've talked to car companies and in Germany and other Sweden other in other places where you know they want to sell to the US so they have to say that they're going to use some of these certain standards and so forth. You know, the biggest one that's been around for about 15 years now is there was a law passed called FISMA FISMA Act that standardized this kind of risk management framework. And it was largely based on on prem because it was 15 years ago. Right. And so, you know, there was, it goes very much up and down entire stack from, you know, your application and encryption to, you know, how am I physically protecting, you know, my data center for smashing graph types and areas. And so about nine years ago or 10 years ago there was they passed a Fed ramp. So if you're if you're familiar with Fed ramp. That's basically risk management framework for for public cloud providers. And so that is awesome because, you know, with with on prem, you go through this whole or public cloud you go through this whole ato process if you've heard of the term ato it's authority to operate it basically says that your system can have production data in it. And so with Fed ramp that basically says, Hey, if you build your app in the public cloud and it's fed ramped. Well then, you know, you don't have to worry about the smashing grab you don't have with the with the disk or any other service that you're running on that current, you only have to go through the ato process for what you're building on top of it. So that reduced the, the, the lift for, for a lot of, for a lot of people in public sector so that's that's been helpful. A lot of other things that you've heard about like you probably heard of stigs like the operating system has a stick or your middleware platform has a state. There's all the dis stuff and, and flips, and there's, they've released, I got to work on the Kubernetes SRG. That's kind of like the upstream for the stick and there's all sorts of stuff that's happened. A lot of those just kind of roll into these were kind of to risk management frameworks and processes. So we've seen things like CS, you know, just like commercial companies are using. In a lot of cases, what comes out of public sector we've seen vice versa so we've seen kind of the CS Kubernetes benchmarks and other things come down and now into public sector people are asking about these other other standards and things too so there's a lot that's out there. But, you know, the biggest one that's mandated is, is, is FISMA and then, and then, which is that kind of the missed RMF. And then, after that, you know, Fed ramp for, for people using public cloud. So, how do those audits usually work. Is there an external party who comes and collects, you know, your documentation things like that or how to, I guess, how does that process work. Yeah, so that the normal ATO process, you have a security officer who's going to basically at the end they're going to accept risk and sign an ATO and the whole process is a lot of paperwork generation, you know, it's how and for what vulnerabilities you have in, you know, thousands of lines in a spreadsheet over, you know, all these different controls and knobs you have to turn and all that so traditionally, that process has taken anywhere from 2000 to 10,000 people hours to get that out the door. Yeah, so it's been massive, you know, sometimes you build something it's taken, you know, maybe up to another year to get it through the ATO process. So we've been working on for a while on ways to automate a lot of those checks. We've used some of security, there's been all sorts of kind of fancy terms that people thrown around like ATO in a day and other stuff but really these things have been just a way to automate a lot of the paperwork process and a lot of the controls that have been turned with open shift right now. One of the cool things that we shipped was this compliance operator, which will make sure that you're already, you know, basically your OS is stigged or gone through the CIS Kubernetes benchmark and other things by default so you don't have to worry about necessarily turning all the knobs anymore. It's a lot of engaging people and then maybe some documentation around it so there's still a lot of work to be done but I'd say every year we make pretty good incremental progress to making that lift a lot lighter for people. There's a people process that's definitely one of the things as well so I mean I've seen ATO is going through in a day, but I've also seen them take two years at rate because it's people so it's a, you know, it's a process that you're supposed to kind of accept the risk but you know some people risk is not can be subjective Yeah so where do you see the most automation is I can imagine there's obviously some automation you can do in the build process but that's just not the only point right. Yeah, so you know I think once we actually saw even going back to before Kubernetes had fully went out you know it's going back really into the Docker days I think one of the reasons why Docker became so popular was this whole idea of building apis on top of Linux containers and and you know you ship out your environment and it was your your container image had you know your application and all the configuration that needs and the environment variables it needs to run and so that was pretty powerful in itself and then you know so I think once customers started looking at just containers they thought hey this is actually a good framework for me to improve on my existing CICD process which is like there's a bunch of plugins and you know a bunch of bash and to be honest right maybe a couple Jenkins plugins and so there's been this kind of push for a while to automate some of that. So usually the first step we see is, you know, if they're going down the container path, it's no container image scanning. There's also good, good tools out there, stack rocks twist lock and core sys tag, and so forth. You know, that whole space has been very noisy and also, you know, if we're also being honest, a lot of those scanning tools produce different results. And so I think kind of the next iteration of that is, I want to redundant scanning tools so in a lot of cases customers have to scanning tools. One of those might be something from red hat so I mean we scan our own base images but not the apps on top and that's really where all of the, like you came from black duck rate which is now synopsis right and they, they do a great job scanning open source components that you would pile on on top of, you know our base images and so forth. But then there's a lot of customers will have to do static analysis tools. So this is developments done by contractors in the public sector, but some of the operations teams might be guffees of the security people are always guffees so, you know, they want more checks in terms of hey make sure the developers are don't have open ports aren't doing those types of things so there is quite a bit of static analysis that's done. So I'm just kind of iterating on that right, you know then customers might look towards the runtime. Once they have all the, they have the CI CD part down, then they look towards the runtime. I think that the challenge for a while and still kind of exists is that a lot of the tools that we always use to do things in virtual machines isn't really set up in a lot of cases to use those same tools and public cloud so you know a lot of scanning tools and companies have pivoted. So it's going to be different for every every solution but you know in the early days it was like we have to run this tool and that tool didn't do anything. So like you scan it and it's like hey it's got zero findings and it's like well actually couldn't even the container images and even mountain to the root file system so it didn't even see anything but okay. Well we had to do it so it looks good. And so, you know you you have kind of that evolution but you know now we see a lot of, you know you put up the side of the beginning a lot of the partners now have operators where you can install it and it's going to run as a demon set and those types of things. And that's been great and there's there's been a push and we did a lot of edge stuff in public sector as well so in some cases customers are, you know, not even looking to run just Kubernetes they're running to it they're going to run Ansible they're going to run real for edge or pod man. Just want to run a few containers in an edge scenario. And of course edges different for everybody to rate some edges, you know, can run a full blown cluster with some of these pizza boxes they make now are crazy you can have like a, you probably put 20 no cluster around like two pizza boxes because some of them just come so. So, they always say more is a lot is going to run out but it never never seems to do so but. Yeah, that's kind of the iteration of is the scanning redundant scanning static analysis, then looking to do some runtime stuff on top of it. The networking component as well as this is pretty important you know people want to make sure that limiting the blast radius. Because we're using a platform. A lot of times it's multi tenant. Usually not a ton of single tenant use cases in public sector, but you know at scale to we probably want. I've been pushing for multi multi tenants. So we're not getting too big with, you know, having 20 different projects on a platform. We're kind of breaking things off into kind of a middle ground where it's, it's multi tenant but you know we're not going to all move to the slowest pace of the slowest tenant on the on the platform so. That's, that's mostly the evolution of it. There's obviously organizational things that need to change around that so contracting the boring stuff is really kind of, or we're at still with some of these things. Yeah. Yeah, you're right by the way, around scanning and the vendors coming up with different results. It's more of an art. It is I mean, you know, I don't blame them if you look at where they're getting their data sources from they're like hey we got this one came off the Python notes page from like 2014 and you know this one came straight from the vendor is like a vulnerability and you know they just get their data sources from all over the internet right and so obviously, you know when you do that it's not like everyone's looking at the same authoritative authority. In other cases, you know what vulnerabilities and then Apache Commons library, you know, who's the authoritative source for that. You know, I mean, sir. Even red hat has probably five different sources where you can pull security information from that. And that's one of the reasons or that's the reason why we created that vulnerability certification program for those partners. Last month's topic, we talked about this where, you know, there's a set of requirements for these scanning partners to to consume the right security feed, and also display red hat data alongside their data on on red hat packages but it's sort of first in industry we're hoping the other distros follow suit, which would make results a lot more. A lot similar between scanners. Yeah, as you know customers will look at a scanning report and then they'll look at what red hat says about it and and it's like wait a minute they're totally two different things. And that's actually, I'm glad you mentioned that because that's actually I had, you know, maybe I just put that in the back of my mind because I think a lot of scars issue from that issue but for those that aren't familiar, you know, I think what Dave's touching on is the way a lot of scanning tools work is they just they look upstream to where there's, you know what versions have a have this have a problem, and then they do an RPM check or something inside of a container and realize how well you're using, you know, Python, you know, or, you know, Python seven and you have this vulnerability, and that works for every vendor except the red hat because red hats like the only vendor that backports in a lot of cases fixes into older versions. And so that causes a lot of problems where scan tools will say okay well, you know you have all these, you have all these findings and it's like well now you actually have to ask red hat for what's a finding because we're back porting stuff and, you know, you're not going to, it's not the same as the upstream So that's been that's been a challenge so there's definitely kind of an educational aspect to that as well so we've seen, we've seen that in the oval B2 piece for people who aren't paying attention so you know, we've had this old feed for a long time which basically tells you just what you need to fix. And if there's a patch it tells you that you know you need to go patch your system and you know we put out this be to feed to help clarify some of that those those pieces as well as more like an enhanced feed to kind of solve some of these components upstream but Yeah, in that version I guess the version two came out with a couple years ago two three years ago, they're continuously updating it. In fact, they, I think just today they released an enhancement that will help our scanning vendors consume what what they're calling the unpatched vulnerabilities so not only does oval put out fixes well here's the fix but they also say here's what's currently affecting and that's not patched either you know it's affected or we decided not to fix it because it you know it's there's no impact or another reason that it's still a vulnerability So yeah the teams are continuously updating that based on a lot of the feedback we got from the certification program which is nice to see and and so I see I see a light at the end of the tunnel, you know, for these for these scam results but it's been good so far we've got three partners certified and about five more working towards certification is not easy. Yeah, these scanning vendors it hasn't been easy for red hat to to make it work but it but it's worth it. Right. Yeah, it's been a challenge for customers because there's there's a lot when I started off at these things so there's a lot going on and there are because, you know, a lot of times people look to adopt technologies like Kubernetes and like, you know, Ansible or whatever is in conjunction with this kind of public cloud piece which I talked about is, you know, a lot of things are different there. And then they're like hey it's also a good time to let's fix our CICD problem and these other things and a lot of these components have noise and they're all learning and getting incrementally started on it and and getting something out the door is is you know what do you focus on first is kind of the is the challenge. Yeah, so yeah I mean, and there's questions in chat that are coming through right like there's just one tool that Netflix Netflix released called risk want and like you know where do you get started right like how do you even start assessing risk. Yeah, one of the questions in chat like how do you even open the door to beginning this process. Yeah, it's hard I think and that's actually in general I think regardless which risk management framework or compliance in general is, you know, compliance is is almost like the minimum table stakes to me. It's great, but that the failure mode is when you stop looking at it as a way to kind of think independently about what you're doing. You know DevSecOps is a tool, I think it's a strong tool, but you know it's we're trying to solve larger business outcomes with it. And so you need to work work backwards from that in a lot of cases. And, you know, if you if you have a bunch of vulnerabilities it's, you know, on a system that's on an embedded system and it's not even connected to anything. You know it's on you probably heard of like Windows 95 is on a fighter jet or something like that right and it's like okay well I'm sure there's all sorts of patches and vulnerabilities that are out there but you can't access it unless you physically touch the board right so you know it's not like you have a Windows 95 machine exposed to the internet so you know compliance framework we'll see that's the biggest travesty of all time, maybe it is but you know you need to kind of think that you know it's on an embedded system. There's a lot of independent thought and risk management piece around that that I think you know you have to kind of wrap your arms around and so compliance is such a heavy lift that I think by the time people are done with it they think, okay well this took such a long time and it's such effort this we're done. And really it should be automated constant. Yeah, right. Absolutely. And you know especially with a lot of risk management frameworks that's why we don't upgrade pieces either. Right we get a risk management framework out the door. And so I've seen a lot a lot and some very scary scenarios like very serious trials and things like that right like absolutely we can't upgrade windows and T for because if we do we got to go through the entire like certification process. Yeah, the whole certification process. Like, wait you're running an NT for VM. Yeah. I mean what we're looking at right now and I think what missed and some of these other bodies are looking at right now is, you know, past, you know the first way rate, moving into the second way, and the third way, and using kind of GeneKIMS three ways are getting more feedback and moving into more new learning and so forth is you talk about the automations can be now more automation of the compliance, just not just the scanning but all the documentation pieces around that like what is your architecture look like. Well, that's great. You had the architectural diagrams from the first day but we know how production systems go over time right there's a lot of toothpicks and inductive that ends up pulling the systems together over time right and so are your architecture diagrams up to date can you do those, then kind of moving into the monitoring and observability aspect to it so I think a lot of the kind of forward leaning, you know, security people in public sector are saying, Well, if you can automate all your documentation and automate these other pieces, and, and you get to the security with your monitoring and metrics and, you know, you have some of the third party tools like maybe a twisted or anchor or black duck doing scanning and maybe like a cystic doing all the runtime stuff whatever it may be. You know, then you can go ahead and move towards you know what you hear like a continuous ATO or something like that where you can update all these components nonstop and you're not necessarily worried about a point in time. ATO with documentation from last year with certain versions that are static. Now you kind of moved into this right now I can iterate really fast once you get into kind of the second way that's really more optimized for developers where they can start pushing their code. You know, a platform has all the policies and scanning and security pieces around it that you can move at the speed of or the tempo that you need for your organization that's we are seeing some of that now which is pretty exciting but let's take on way to get there and of course it's still a lot of ways to go to so. Yeah, I want to sort of go back to mentioned open shift and some of the features like the compliance operator and fits enabled right so Are you seeing a lot of time saved in terms of ensuring like a Kubernetes distribution is is compliant just because open shift out of the box by default has some of these things already enabled. I'd say the biggest thing is it gives people a warm and fuzzy feeling right so you know they, you know they they know Stiggs they know the OS. And if you tell them, you know that red hat core west is it's immutable it's, you know, treated like an appliance to same bits as as relate the latest version is the same bits as relate three, and you know we can give you your stick in an automated way. Well, that's a huge lift for the customer. If you talk about, you know, undifferentiated heavy lifting you know it's in toil and those things that get thrown around a lot. You know for for compliance a lot of that's just incredibly tedious. You know permit root login equals no and you know I got to change this file and I got to do this and yeah all that I remember those days. Yeah, by hand. Yeah. Yeah, I'll do all those days by hand. And so, you know, we've, we felt that and so that removes a lot of a toil for customers. Yeah, you know things like, you know, you got SC Linux and other things that are built into the platform by default but now you're also going to automate a lot of the stuff that they're going to have to do no matter what you know technology that they chose because they have to do this compliance framework so that's a pretty big, a pretty big thing for customers. And it's been, it's been one of the more exciting things about we still, as far as globally geos go public sectors, it's, you know, I think percentage wise we still have quite a bit of customers on on three, but for the customers that have moved to for, you know, the, the feedback we've gotten has been pretty amazing around, you know that not having to manage the OS and have it be more of an implementation detail. And having some of the compliance pieces is a little newer, but you know just in general having, you know, a lot more of the undifferentiated heavy lifting and we just talked to a customer that, you know is running one of the largest apps that you know, I think it's actually the largest app the organization and it's a financial app and it's very public a lot of people that are watching and probably heard this, this app especially if you've ever, you know, looked at, you know, public filings and things like that for for public companies but that's all running on a cluster and they've got like two, they've got like two admins running this like really large cluster because that's a lot of it's just kind of built a lot of the undifferentiated heavy lifting is built into the platform and now they're, you know, going to be using things like the compliance operator to automate a lot of the rest of it so it's definitely exciting. We still a lot of customers on three and we're trying to, you know, do a lot of the, there's quite a bit of, you know, social engineering and architectural stuff and education that required. So we're still doing a lot of that but the customers that have moved to four or new or new customers, the feedback's been pretty incredible so far. It's good stuff. And you, you mentioned other red ad products right how are, how are some other red ad products involved in compliance auditing compliance controls outside of OpenShift. Historically, you know, in terms of a lot of the stakes and so forth. It's been, you know, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and then and then Jbos CAP in the middle or side. But of course, you know, we've iterated over time for that and now we've got states for Ansible, which has become just incredibly popular because, you know, it's, it's a lot of it's like the glue for enterprise right so you've got it can talk to almost any system and in a lot of cases it's become kind of a de facto standard to talk to things like storage and networking devices and things like that. And then, you know, for a lot of customers that are looking to do more things on it on, you know, at the edge, where, you know, they're not necessarily going to have telemetry and enabled and all those other things and that's kind of a smaller form footprint. And they're looking at just using rel and they might have OpenShift at the at the home base rate and they might have a CSD factory there but the container image it's going to get spun out is actually just going to run in a plain old rel instance, you know, and we're looking at rel for Edge, which is, which is pretty cool. And it might just get started up by plain old system D and Podman. And, and, you know, we've seen that kind of Ansible automating some of that as well. So that's been kind of a cool use case as well. But we're also using, you know, the D is working on some smaller footprint OpenShift. So I think, you know, pretty, pretty soon we'll be able to give people kind of both options which be be pretty cool as well. Awesome. Very nice. Yeah, no, the compliance operator is really awesome. And folks are asking, oh my gosh, can I get this working at, you know, in, you know, my bespoke Kubernetes cluster over here and it's kind of like, well, the docs say, sorry, this only works with, you know, our costs but in theory, if there was rules for it and we built them out, you know, we could have it for rel, we could have it for, you know, insert Linux distro here kind of deal. And I feel like a lot of the compliance bits around Kubernetes are like so new and are going to have such a hard time keeping up. How do you think that's going to go in the future? Yeah, I think that's a challenge because you absolutely have to kind of have somebody that's evolving with, you know, with the technology. And so if you look at, you know, Kubernetes is on a time box release cycle. So every three months it ships out a new version. And yeah, there's been changes in Kubernetes. If you look at, you know, ephemeral containers and yeah, and these other things and there's a security implication with running new software. Right. And so, and a lot of times like a Kubernetes benchmark might, and you might be looking at the older version or, you know, when a new version of Kubernetes comes out, you know, the Kubernetes benchmark might not come out right with that. So I think having a, having a vendor, and this is probably a shameless plug, but I think having a vendor like Red Hat that's got a kind of strong security DNA to vet a lot of those things and, you know, we're going to probably shield you from a lot of that noise. And then also, you know, we have multiple layers of protection turned onto the platform of things like SE Linux and security context, which is, which has been really powerful and what is SE Linux has put all those big, bad, nasty, gnarly Kubernetes bugs and SE Linux just stopped them in their tracks for the most part, right? Yes, I've got this, I think I got it from Dan Walsh, but there's been, you know, essentially five CDEs for container breakouts and SE Linux has stopped all five of them. So, you know, it's all about multiple layers of protection to us, but you know, SE Linux is a really strong layer of protection. And, you know, even just having that managed for you by the platform is really strong because, you know, historically people have turned off SE Linux, even in environments where they really shouldn't be because, you know, we're being honest, it's hard to use. But, you know, the good thing is, you don't have to know how to use it with, you know, with a platform, it's just kind of shipping it for you and tuning it for you and things like that. You know, that's, there's a lot of value add from there just in terms of giving people more secure out of the box profiles, but then, you know, just avoiding some of the undifferentiated heavy lifting, not just technology wise, but security tuning and compliance framework wise. So, I mean, it's, it's a bear to manage on just an OS right like when there's other stuff running on top of it. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's interesting, but we all have to remember that like kernel components make up containers. SE Linux protects kernel components. So it's, it's one of those things where it's like there's a happy relationship there. Yeah, I think people always got confused because the original, you know, the original Docker container architectural diagrams I went around forever had, you know, the box was like here's Linux and then here's my container on top of it. And, you know, I think people will, it made sense for architecture diagram but you know I think people got confused with thinking that it was something just completely different than, than Linux at first but yeah it's these things are all just kind of enabled by the platform, you know, that you're running on in a lot of cases. And I was going to say as a, as a Christmas gift for all your viewers, Chris December is platform month for security. So we're going to be hopefully diving into things like SE Linux and open shift platform security, which I think will be very cool. Yeah, as we go along. What is red hat offer kind of out of the box as far as help securing clusters right like, I know we try to be Switzerland I know we try to do a lot of, you know, neutral things but do can we actually help people secure things other than open shift. I mean I know we can, but do we is that a standard practice of ours I guess. Are you asking from a compliance perspective. Yeah, from just just from a compliance perspective right like if someone has, let's say you know, four different clouds are running on chances are they're going to have some bespoke thing, or some cloud service that they're trying to work with. And there's a compliance layer there as well right. How do we manage that. Like if I'm using like RDS for example and Amazon with my open shift cluster. How do I, you know, say okay yeah everything's good with AWS and open shift. Does that compliance operator know AWS to an extent to where it's like yeah this is misconfigured try this instead kind of deal or I'm not sure john you might. Yeah, so I mean, I think you know we will first you know we do have a consulting team. That's very strong. And in a lot of cases, you know their main their main focus is not necessarily end to end security around everything you're doing in your enterprise, but it's their main focus is how can I build this in the most secure way in the context of red hat products, because anything outside the scope of that becomes just too, yeah too unwieldy and probably unrealistic right and so they know how to make our products secure and they know how to make our products secure in the environment that they're in. But once you start going out with every you know there's what like 300 Amazon services to Google cloud services so now that they're not an expert in everything but you know they know how to put things in context there and then, you know, our consulting you know a little bit more set up to be you know an accelerator for you or for other groups you're working with as well so a lot of times you know for working with customers. There's other traditional size like Raytheon or Deloitte or or whomever right and so you know I say I see an extension and Lockheed and all these all these people so and a lot of cases were enhancing other people that are doing those things as well with kind of hey this is what we've seen this is a best practice, but you know for the customers, yeah having our consulting teams awesome because not only have they done this a million other places, what they have reached back to all the engineers at red hat and other things that you wouldn't have access to otherwise so that becomes pretty valuable and then of course like internally we have some lists and all sorts of internal shared documentation and other things like that so that's been really helpful but you know they build a lot of their source solutions for things right out in the open so red hat consulting has their own GitHub repo and stuff that's actually got some pretty cool stuff on it. That's worth plugging around and one of the other things that they've been building is this. I can't believe now I'm just now talking about is this kind of software factory piece called Redsword. So it's in the Department of Defense they had built out this kind of reference designed for DevSecOps a while back and they're working on a version two of it right now. But red hat built out this open source and one of the things that we're seeing was customers you know in addition to all the compliance components was they're spending a lot of times not focused on their app. And then back to they moved to Kubernetes initially because they'd be writing all this glue code right and so you think about the DevOps engineer a lot of times writing like blue code or doing all these other things especially initially and you know that's a lot of what what it was was like how do I take all these scanning tools and components and kind of plug them into Jenkins and or Tecton or wherever they're going to be using as their backbone and so one of the things that we did was well you know red hat actually hired people out of pocket. And it helped build this kind of software factory component by default where you know either you're going to use it or you can use pieces of it, you know it's all public something to put that there's a show notes or something. You can put that in but it's one of the things that we've been working on and we're engaged with I think for customers right now with with having them leverage that so you know yes you can build in a lot of the scanning pieces and all the static security tool and all the glue code and stuff that you would need around it. And I think it's a great approach to kind of building up all that yourself because you know we want customers to fill up the platform with apps and we want them to, you know, finish their, you know fulfill their mission capabilities and not just worried about all this kind of oil and glue code and other stuff that documentation that people have done historically in the past and non value at stuff. Well, so I had a question for Janet thinking about compliance in the pipeline we've talked about different integration points the ICD we've talked about scanning a running container but if we think about compliance technical controls during that pipeline where have you seen those implemented have you seen admission controllers stop pods from starting because of compliance issues or, or maybe even as something's running maybe an automatic remediation type of control. We've seen those. I think a lot of it. A lot of it's like basic hygiene in the in the beginning so, and even in the middle stages so you know that's a lot of let's get network policy setup. I think of the traditional things you would do on premise with firewall rules and things like that where now you want to make sure that you're at least doing those in some sort of cloud native way so in having good role based access control identity management. You know people ask about things like certificate rotation. Those types of things network policies. It's not crazy stuff it's just like good hygiene things that you should be doing. And that's usually where, you know we spend the most, the most time is kind of setting those things up, you know some customers are just starting to look at newer paradigms and ways of get ops and, and things like that where, you know your workflows are actually starting to change built around those things but you know it's a, you know a lot of it is just kind of the good policy management and some of the more mature customers that have been around been doing this for a little bit or style to like policy around multi cluster provisioning and things like that where, you know they might be looking at, you know there's a, we have another tool called advanced cluster manager that does cluster provisioning and so forth so they're starting to look at those types of things but I would say it's an iteration, you know for, for at least like customers that are halfway through the maturity curve for now. Speaking of get ops, get ops guide to the galaxy starts top the next hour so please stick around for that if you're interested. Yeah, we've got what five, five more minutes left. Yeah, I'm actually all out of questions for john it's been a good discussion I know john if you had more you wanted to talk. I hadn't even looked at our notes actually. No, I think we covered everything. Yeah, nice. Yeah, let me throw this up again real quick. Those who didn't see it at the beginning of the show. So again this was one of our two open shift TV shows for the month we do this every month. This month is on compliance. The next show is actually tomorrow with cystic. Yeah, that'll be a good one. Well, we're also going to be producing three podcasts around compliance as well because the summit next week they might actually bleed into being dropped in May so just stay tuned but we've got a blog also being reviewed right now with some of the topics we talked about. And some other content as well that we're publishing but this is the monthly security series so for me that's a really appreciate john you joining us today for this thought leadership dead sec offices the way show. I appreciate everyone having me. Sorry, some of my responses tend to be long winded but you know we have a lot of fun here so I like to like anything I've been learning I was like to kind of throw it out. You know so it's not. One thing I don't do is hoard knowledge so. Yeah, we appreciate that. But if there's any questions in the chat or something. You know, not I'm not a lot of questions other than you know how to have what I do X with Y and I've answered most of them. Okay, so yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean the biggest thing is reach out if you need us, you know we're here to help you if you're having compliance issues within your organization. What is now we can help absolutely Jay Osborne at redhat.com or open shift fed on Twitter so yeah, reach me anywhere. Yeah, thank you very much everybody appreciate it Dave I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah, thanks Chris. Thanks Dave great chat with you. Take care everyone.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2rEdQOXtFU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It's your boy dpj here today for another destiny video and today I want to talk about easy vanguard and faction Reputation to acquire them also sexy and delicious packages Now it's all to do with strikes and that weekly heroic now We all know now that each week these heroic strikes will indeed have their own Modifiers and for that it means that certain weeks will make these strikes really easy to grind and in return You'll receive fast reputation now this week the modifiers are great for grinding these strikes So if you can get yourself a team and arm up modifiers are void burn Thrust troops and catapult void burn means all void damage from any source is greatly increased Thrust troops means certain enemy squads have been fortified with additional Reinforcements and catapult means your grenade recharge is greatly increased So like I said a great week to grind heroic strikes now me personally I will be using a wall up to grind this week with that void walker set up and using it with them scatter grenades Armour I would use if I was you would be the exotic nothing manical grantlets as they give you an extra grenade But it's no biggie if you don't have them as I personally do not have them not a year to you anyway And I'm just too stingy to waste my marks on them But with your armor rolls I'd aim for max discipline And if you can get as much intellect as you can possibly get if you have a class item as well Which allows you to increase a reputation gains I'd use that also weapons Obviously you want to go with void with the truth being a great exotic to use But the Telesto ain't too bad of a choice either now these strikes have a recommended light level of a 260 So they're quite easy to run through just in my opinion this week warlocks with the void walker class set up Would be your best bet to grind these strikes quickest But do not fret if you're a hunter or a titan night stalkers and then Titan bubble butts are quite efficient Also, so if you don't use warlocks, you don't really have to just me I feel a team of three warlocks using void walker could do these strikes the quickest earning you the XP the fastest Now if you don't quite have a team don't forget these strikes are matchmaking So you might find people who are also looking to grind these strikes fast now for me my team We can usually run these strikes normally between five and 12 minutes depending on the strike itself Your first strike will give you 120 vanguard rep But once you are on a streak that means more than one strike it increases to 130 Apply your class item and your vanguard booster and your rep per strike will be closer to 300 So say you average a strike every 10 minutes You could easily be getting a full rank of vanguard and faction in an hour and a half and some strikes You can even do quicker than 10 minutes so even less time for full faction or vanguard rank I will say though that packages do not stack So make sure you turn to the tower before ranking up twice as you will lose a package So get grinding guys like I said It's easy vanguard and faction reputation and if you're looking for an LDR the shadow price the devil You know the two to the morgue the swarm any vanguard weapon or even armor then get grinding these strikes But guys, I hope you enjoyed the video do drop a like or to appreciate the support Thanks for stopping by as always and I'll catch you on that next one.

This is one of the big ones for the clay court season. The Barcelona Open. So massive names play this one every year. The biggest clay court players in the world. The greatest clay court player of all time. Usually play this event, but unfortunately a lot of injuries to players and a lot of players are pulled out. So let's go to the withdrawal list for this one. The withdrawal list here. Batista a group. He's out. Gricksport also out. Hercatch is pulled out. Didn't know he was pulling out of that one. Nadal. We all know Rafa's out for a couple more weeks. Shapovalov's also pulled out, which is an interesting one. Sinner's pulled out. And we all know that Sinner's been injured the last couple of weeks. So no surprise, he's pulled out. Strouf and Vanduzanshup have also pulled out of this event. So big names missing from Barcelona. Well, some big names are playing. So let's go to the top of the draw. Now, this tournament has 16 seeds and every single seed gets a buy in the first round, which is kind of weird. Citi pass. He's the number one seed he gets a buy in the first round. He will play either a Vashka or Martínez in the second round. Then we've got Girón versus Korya. Winner of that plays the number 14 seed, Demetrov. In the second round, then we've got the number nine seed for Sziláš Vili. He'll play either Muner or Rindinik who are playing in the first round. Then we have Kwon versus Pére. Winner of that match takes on Elcárez, the number five seed in the second round. So, I mean, straight away, you can see Demetrov versus Citi pass. Dimitre played well this week. Steph is in the final of Monte Carlo. Elcárez versus Citi pass quarter finals. That's what I want to see. That's the match I want to see. All right, second part of the draw. We've got Norri, the number four seed, play either Matarina or Ramos-Vinoles in the second round. So, he gets a buy in the first round, of course. Futurevich versus Thompson. Winner of that takes on the number 15 seed, Delbonis in the second round. Then we've got Diminal, the number 10 seed. He'll take on either Andúha or Mbéa in the second round. Then we've got Harris versus Baena. Winner of that plays Batista Agú, the number seven seed, which I thought he was out of the tournament. I don't know what's up with that. So, Batista Agú, if you're watching this in the replay, he might still be in the tournament. There was maybe a glitch or maybe he's out of the tournament. They haven't updated yet. But, look, this part of the draw, pretty wide open. I think that the top section, or the top quarter of the draw, very stacked. This part of the draw, very wide open. Norri, maybe he could do something on Clay. Diminal. Rba, if he's playing Delbonis. I mean, it could be an unseeded player. So, I feel like this section of the draw is up for grabs for anybody. Going to the bottom half of the draw now, the third quarter, we've got Schwartzman, number six seed. He'll play either a qualifier or McDonald in the second round. Then we've got Moussetti versus Baez. Winner of that will play Dan Evans, the number 12 seed in the second round. Then we've got Tiafo, the 13th seed, taking on either qualifier or Fakina, who's unseeded. It's a bit the last time he's unseeded, I'm sure. But, he's unseeded. That's very interesting to see. We'll see if he can make another final, maybe. Anyways, he'll play Tiafo if he can beat a qualifier. Then we've got another qualifier versus quarter. Winner of that plays FAA, the number three seed. This part of the draw has got very dangerous unseeded players. Fakina, obviously. Quarter is also dangerous. Baez, Moussetti, all very dangerous unseeded players. FAA is not in great form. Schwartzman is probably the best in form seed in this quarter. But this part of the draw, I don't expect any, I wouldn't be surprised if anybody gets through. I mean, this is based on form, you'd probably say Fakina, but he's not even seeded, which is kind of crazy. That's insane that he's not seeded. And the bottom section of the draw, we've got number eight seed, Krinyo Buster. He'll play either a qualifier or Robredo, who I thought was like 45. How's he still playing? He gets a wild card, so good on Robredo. Then you've got Kressy versus Qualifier. Winner of that match plays number 11 seed, Senego. Then you've got the 16th seed, Bublik. Winner of that match, he's waiting the winner of Lopez, who's also a fellow pensioner like Robredo. He's playing a young gun in Rusevori, so that would be a fun match to watch. Winner of that match will play Bublik. Then you've got a qualifier versus Nakashima. Winner of that match will take on the number two seed, Kasper Rude. And I think down the bottom half of the draw, it's Rude's tournament, right? Bublik, we don't know what to expect from him. He could quit matches halfway through. Senego's in bad form. Krinyo Buster is dangerous at times, but I don't know if he's going to be a threat to Rude. The bottom half of the draw is Rude's to lose, I feel. Yeah, I mean, this tournament without Rafa and without a lot of those big names, for me, it's kind of wide open. I mean, you've got Rude down the bottom, he's probably got the best draw. The top half of the draw is pretty, the top section is stacked with Elcares and Sitsipas and Demetrob, who are all good play-call players and we've seen that this week. And then you've got Fakina and Korda, who are unseeded. Maybe they can do something, Fakina, we know could do something. So let me know in the chat, let me know in the description below or in the comments below who's going to win in Barcelona. I have, I mean, is Steph going to be too tired after this week? That could be a thing.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y296RvorOSk", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I am your host Yvonne Yaga. So gender-based violence is an ongoing conversation, but today we will be looking at it from a different light. So a couple of years back a woman was stripped naked in the streets of Nairobi for being indecently dressed and on that light today we are going to be talking about measures that we can take to curb gender-based violence in the transport sector. You can be part of this conversation by sending in your comments, questions or telling us where you're watching us from on each circuit across all our social media platforms. You can also talk to me directly on my social media platforms at Yvne1 on Instagram and Twitter and Yvlin Yaga on Facebook. Sorry for that. So my guest today is, goes by the name Naomi Maora. She is the founder of Lawn Initiative that champions for rights or for women who work in the transport sector. Welcome. Thank you. How are you feeling today? Good. A bit early for me on a Saturday morning. But so glad to be here. Yeah, we are lucky to have you too. Thank you. Yes. So kindly tell us what you do. So I run a non-profit for the past six years. We work in the Matatu industry, working with Matatu circles and we train them on customer service and we sensitize them on sexual harassment and help them develop a sexual harassment policy and we also look at the internal structures, internal HR structures, looking at their recruitment, their promotion policies in order to get more women into the workplace. Yeah. And we also have our women in transport program, which Saito Naitam Super Anganya, where we work with women in the Matatu industry to help attract more women into the industry, retain the ones that are existing and help them move up the career ladder. Yes. I believe that any initiative that supports that, all the people, if you look at the history of most initiatives, works, people who have founded so many things, they have a backstory. There's something that pushed them to that direction. So what pushed you to that direction? So I grew up in a family that ran Matatu's and so I think unconsciously I didn't realize that I was actually very fascinated by Matatu's. Really? Yes. And so it was run by my uncles. Right. And for me, it was just like any other job. Yeah. Right. My uncles are like my father's to me. Actually, they are my father's and it was only later when when I started going to university that I realized there's a perception people have about Matatu people. That is not what I grew up with. Right. Just like any other daughter that sees their father as their heroes, that's what I saw. People who turned out to be Matatu drivers and conductors, they were my heroes. People who paid my school fees and people who took me to hospital. And so I realized there's a problem in the industry that people see the Matatu industry as chaotic. Something that, like a necessary evil and who could get rid of it all at once, we would. But my perception is that it's a misunderstood and neglected industry. Right. So for example, if somebody has never gone to computer class, right, and you give them a laptop and you tell them type this hundred and note. Right. What will happen? They won't be able to type the note. Yes. They'll either, you know, mess up the keys of your laptop. Maybe they'll open the laptop and open like a million and one tabs. Yeah. Right. Or they'll go to a cybercafe and say, Hey, can you type this out for me? Mm-hmm. And I like for five hundred and twelve, double it for two hundred and twelve. Right. Yeah. And then so you come back and you tell, and you ask the person, so where's my typed work. Right. And you realize they've not done a good job. Right. And you get mad at them. Right. And that's what we do with Matatu people. We don't offer them any training on this work. Right. On average, just talking about a small Matatu, the 14-seater one. Right. So it will carry about, let's say, 14 people. Right. Make about five round trips. Yes. So in other words, a Matatu crew is serving about 120 people in a day. Yeah. With no customer service training. True. Right. Yeah. When you're to a member and their owner is later at 5K at the end of the day. How do you do it? I don't care. That's up to you. Yeah. Right. And then we get very shocked when, when, you know, they don't have customer service skills. Right. They're driving recklessly. They were just given a vehicle that was... Yeah. They're talking goodly to the passengers. Yeah. Five thousand per day. Yeah. And so that's our work to just professionalize the industry. Yeah. Okay. So talking about women in the industry and gender-based violence, what have you experienced that personally? Yes, I did. So there was, again, I was in the university. I was going home. And I was at my hometown. And I wanted to go see my grandmother. And I just, I lighted the Matatu and I had my earphones on. And somebody just grabbed me. How old were you? I think I was about, I was about 22. Yeah. Okay. And somebody grabbed me. And I turned back. And this is angry man. Right. I did psychology. So I'm very into non-verbal communication. Yeah. So I could tell like the clenched fists, the face. I was like, Oh Lord, I'm in trouble. I don't know what I did, but I'm in trouble. And so being in my hometown, the first thing I did was like, okay, I think I'm about to get beaten up. And I called out to one of my uncles. I was like, Uncle Mara, you know. And I think he realized, Oh, I think this chick knows somebody at this bus stop. And so he ran away. Why was he angry? So there was a lady behind me and she caught up with me because I started now looking for my uncles. And she's like, he was trying to say hi to you. And I was like, I didn't hear. And if I did, and I didn't respond, that should not be the reaction. Right. So I found my uncle and Uncle Mara and I passed him. And there's this guy and he asked me, okay, describe the guy. And he said, okay, he's one of the street boys that hangs around the bus stop. And I was a bit shook. And then I got to my grandmother's place and I asked Shoshu, I'm like, Shoshu, what do you think of my dressing? And she was like, No, you're fine. And my Shoshu had raiders. Like she could sense a small scar from like a mile away. And I think after that, I didn't remember about the incident until I saw a video clip of a lady being stripped. So was the clip before your incident happened or after? It was after. It was about two years later. So two years later, I see this clip of a lady being stripped in Nyeri. I remember it was in May 2013. And it was in that, like watching that video clip, I had imagined what would have happened to me on that bus stop. But it was nothing compared to what I had imagined. Right. At no point in my mind did I think like somebody would do that to strip me if I hadn't called out Uncle's name. And so we had conversation with my girlfriends at that time. And one thing that we all agreed on is that there's an issue in public transport in terms of harassment and violence. But we didn't have data to back it up. No research was being done on the issue. And after like months of talking, we're like, with me, I'm like, yeah, there's something in me that we need to do something about it. And that's how we started the initiative. So when you saw that clip in Nyeri, had you seen the other one that happened in Nairobi? So the one in Nairobi hadn't happened yet, because that happened 2014. So it was actually what happened is we started our initiative formally registered it in 2013 after that incident. And then we were really struggling to tell people what's the issue. They're like, ah, we don't think it's that bad. So it was only after the three video clips in Nairobi and my choice that people are like, OK, now we see what you've been talking about. Is this what you've been talking about? It's been going on for years and it's unfortunate that three women had to go through it, had the incident. And those are the only ones that we know. I think every woman from day to day goes through that. Someone says hi to you, then you don't say hi back and then they're angry, they start insulting you. And so I think those three incidences in Nairobi and my choice were a really tipping point for our work. People started saying, OK, we see what you're doing, what do you want to do to solve this issue? So having grown up in a family that works in the Matatu transport sector, what are some of the myths that people have when it comes to the transport sector? What are some of them? Some of the myths. Oh, myths. Oh my good Lord. They are uncouth, they are perpetrators of our lives, I want a life. It's not a way to make a living. Yes, that it's not a job, that they don't have families, that they are in poverty. And being at the end of that, they had really long working hours. So they would leave home at around 5 or coming in at around 11 p.m. Every day is a working day, a holiday is a Sunday. So seeing them struggle through that on the other side, I really appreciated the sacrifices they took to feed the family. I do not take it for granted that I went to the University of Matatu. And I remember like they used to come for visiting with the Matatu. And like every family I would take was Matatu. You were in the Matatu. So I think growing up with them, for me it's just any other job. And I did see it provide. And I really do understand the struggle of it. And for me it's to say that I am a product of Matatu. It's like 110%. There's nothing else I would rather do with my life. And to create another different perception about Matatu people. There are people just like you who show up to the studio. There are people just like me who show up in an office and work in an unprofit. There are people who are just trying to feed their family. And there are families out there who are praying for their family members to come back home. Because I remember one incident, my uncle was a carjacked. And the police were informed about it. And unfortunately they didn't know that the Matatu carjackers had put him in the boot. And so the police started shooting at the carjackers. And unfortunately he got shot. So you can imagine we were at home. Matatu has been carjacked. We start praying. We don't know where they are. We have no information. So it took like the whole day nobody is sleeping at home. And finally getting news like okay, he's fine but he's been shot. And I remember going to the hospital with my grandmother. And my grandmother had forgotten to wear her shoes. So in the hospital we were like okay, it's too late to go to Bata get sandals. So somebody had to go home and get her shoes and find out that he had been shot. He had to go for surgery. And we were outside and we were just praying that he would sit out. We don't know if the Matatu will ever be back on the road. And so it's just like any other job. And there are families out there that are dependent. That's their livelihood. Okay, I believe your uncle is well now. Yes, he was just shot in the leg. And it's very interesting because he decided to save. The Matatu was shot at the back. So he decided to save that. So it's still in the Matatu back in those days. It was still there. And he kind of had a graffiti artwork on it like I survived. But he's fine. So other than championing for comfortable working spaces for women in transport. What other objectives did you have in mind when you started Flown Initiative? Again, even going back to my personal experience that the Matatu industry was something the men in the family did. And so we realized there were very few women in the industry. And that's how we decided to start the Super Anganya Program. And so just bringing the women together because what would happen is that there's maybe one circle with two women. There's another circle with two other women. So your circle is just working as drivers. The women working as drivers, touts. So we did a research on that just to inform our programming and to create awareness on the status of women in the Matatu industry. Ninety-five percent of them are conductors. Really? Yes, which is one of the lowest paying jobs in the industry. And it's also very determined by the driver. The driver is a big conductor. So sometimes you'll find that the women, as we say in the industry, are waiting for a driver to pick you up to be his conductor. And that's why we work with circles to formalize that process of recruitment. Because sometimes drivers are like, hey, by the way, you need to give me a bit of something. Yes, so that you can become my conductor. A job... How do I say this in a nice way? Well, there's no way of saying this in a nice way, is that they want sexual favor in return for a job. And so if you don't agree, but there are good drivers who are like, I see you just like us trying to make a living, as my conductor. Alright, nice, that's interesting. So what are maybe the measures that you take to make sure that women are comfortable in that environment? Not only the women who are working in that industry, commuters as well. So we've done a couple of advocacy campaigns. So we've worked with various artists. So we've worked with an illustrator to have posters in Matatu's. You'll see, I think somebody even sent me one from Matatu in Kitangela. Their posters just creating awareness about, for example, how to sit in a Matatu. You'll find like sometimes men will just be sitting and they're just taking the whole seat. It's so annoying. Or the way to do this is a bump and then they use the bump to like, so we have advocacy tools in terms of posters that talk about those issues. Talking about how, for example, women are afraid to travel at night, or get into a Matatu, especially after dark, that has only male commuters. So when we do our customer service training to the circles and Matatu workers, things we sensitize them on. What are women's safety concerns when it comes to Matatu? And how can you handle that? What are women's travel needs? Because you'll find a woman who can handbag, who can shopping. Maybe even a kid. And maybe it's even one kid, two kids. And you're trying to get into a Matatu that's moving. So we say, okay, so here's the lady, how do you help her? You need to take her luggage, put it in. Take the kids, make sure they are seated and now the lady gets in. See, I'm trying to get into a Matatu, even before we can go to the shop. And she's wondering, should I hold on to the shopping, should I hold on to the first point, to the second point where I hold on to myself? And so we have those trainings with the circles, as I mentioned, customer service and the adoption of sexual harassment policies, both in the workplace and also to handle commuters grievances on harassment. For example, you've been harassed in a Matatu. Where do you report? Where do you report? The circle? Yes, so you're supposed to report to the circle. What if the circle does nothing about it? So that's what we work on. We work on them to have a pipeline on how to report. For example, we advocate for fair charts. So when you get into a Matatu, if you don't pay, you don't get the right, this is the amount of money you pay. And it's written down. Yes, it's written down. If it's pick ours, you know how much you're supposed to pay. And in that sticker, there should be a place where you report. And there should be someone dedicated to that phone line. And there should be a book you have with grievances, like saying on this day, we received this complaint. This is the person who complained. This is the person assigned to that complaint. And deadlines for that. For example, let's say something in Mekwapenia stage, the person who would be assigned to that is a stage manager. Because I know exactly who it is. Kamagera Alikuharas, who is on stage. Or is he the conductor? Or is he the driver? Was it inside? Was it a fellow commuter? And so we work with them, like with these books, to now follow up with them. Like what did you do about these kids who was assigned? What did they do? Did you follow up with the commuter? Could you kindly share your social media pages before we go on? Oh yes. So on Twitter, we are at Flon Initiative, F-L-O-N-E initiative. On Facebook, same thing. Flon Initiative, F-L-O-N-E initiative. And on Instagram, same. Same thing, yes. And you've talked about some of the programs that you have. You've been talking about Msu-Pawanganya. I didn't know it was a program. I actually just saw the short film trailer. Talk about that in the programs, other programs and projects that you have. So we've been doing the Msu-Pawanganya program for about two years now. So we have about 60 women. And when we started out, we started with 14 women. And through a lot of mouths, we've grown. So that shows the demand that there is out there. So our women are from Nairobi County and the surrounding. So we've got a lot of Kiambu, Mweki, a bit of Kitengela. Yes, that's as far as we've gotten. And so what we did in the beginning is just bring them together. As I mentioned, they are a bit scattered in all circles. So we have monthly meetings where they come together. And then we have capacity building workshops. So we've had workshops, for example, on parenting because most of them are parents. And as I mentioned, they're long working hours. Prevent them or put them at a very interesting situation where they are not with their families and with their kids as much as they would want to be. Especially for a mother from five to ten. That's crazy hours. And we've also worked with them on fast-age training like what happens when you're in an accident but it's your matter too. Can you do something where the ambulance is coming? And how do you even reach ambulances? So we had a training with St. John's on that. We've also had a training with entire management. So Garikari Bika, what do you do? Do you depend on the driver? But we are like, no, you are escapable. And this is how you do it. We've had an incident where a lady attended the tire maintenance course and she got arrested. And the police said it's because your tire, it was a safety concern because uncle make enough pressure. And she was able to go and say, no, no, no, this is how you check for pressure on a day. This is what you do. And she says the policeman was so shocked that he was like, okay, fine, just go. And so she called us. She's like, oh my God, it worked. And she talks freely about it. So we've been doing some capacity-building trainings just to, because our mission as I said is to attract, retain and advance. So we've been doing a lot of retaining because the turnover of women in the Matatu industry is quite high. And given the work environment, it completely makes sense. So we've been working on the retaining. And right now our next step is working on advancing them. So we've been working on trying to work with driving schools to get more women to be drivers and to find a way to put them into driving positions. Yeah. Okay. So just like I asked before, the Super Wanganya movie trailer, why did you, is it a flown initiative project or did you have other people come together to do that project? So one of the concerns for the ladies is that, again, the stereotypes that people have about them, right? So that most of the violence against women working in the Matatu industry is actually from fellow commuters. Yes. And so they were saying, okay, we need to find a way to put a human face to our work. They need to know us beyond our work. And so we've done a couple of public awareness campaigns. So we've done a play called Mamawama III, Atalions. And we now, with this Super Wanganya project, we work with Maumau Art Collective. So it was a group of artists that came together, met our women. They had about three content creation workshops, which I have to say I was really impressed because we had, we had budgeted for one, but the artists were like, no, we want to be able to really represent the women and the challenges they are going through and what they are trying to tell the public. So they, out of their own good will, met the ladies. They would come for the monthly meetings and they were like, na dania jai, ae jai, kwa jai. Ape vi script, does it make sense? Should we change it? And so I think that's why Super Wanganya has been so amazing and powerful is because they really took time to understand the women. It's so captivating. I actually felt it. I can't imagine someone going through that. There was a lot of work that the artists put into working with the women and telling them what their vision is and making sure it's as realistic as they want it to be. And so for Super Wanganya short film, it's about a driver and a conductor, woman driver and conductor and talking about and taking us through a day in their lives. Like the driver, the husband left after she started doing Matatu Wang. The son is angry at her because she's like, if it wasn't for you, my dad would be here. And even because she's a Muslim. So even the people in the mosque come and tell her, hey, this is not a job for women in our religion. And so we see her struggling to help the kids understand that this is a job. And it's like any other job. Please don't believe the public what they say about us. I'm just trying to make sure you go to school, you have food on the table. And then there's the conductor and her father is against her working in the Matatu industry. She's like, that's not a job. You can't call that a job. It's even worse for conductor. For lady conductor. And then her mom gets sick and they are unable to pay for rent and pay for the medicine. But through her work, she's able to support the entire family through that hardship. And then we have the commuter who gets into the Matatu and gets harassed and then the conversation in the Matatu about it. Because they're like, and having that conversation play out in the Matatu as it would in real life and as the women working in the transport industry have seen it play out. And get into a point where the women were the ones who saved the commuter and they had a conversation with a man about what they're about to do and got the police involved. So I think it's been quite powerful because it's stories from the women about their work and it gives us a new light into their lives that we've not thought about or seen before. And it's actually what is happening. So I want us to wind up but before we do so when Flon Initiative started and around that time when My Dress, My Choice campaign started there were still those people who believed that it's not the women's fault and I know that there were people who were against that campaign. So right now, especially men, do you have partners who are working with you that are mostly majority men or how is the support right now compared to that time? Yes, so back in My Dress, My Choice which I was involved in, the counter campaign was called Nudity is Not My Choice and when we were doing the protest they actually showed up and we had a face off at Supreme Court where they were threatening now to strip us. I think that again going back to even my experience and other women's experience is that dressing is a scapegoat. It is not the real issue. Yes, that's not the real issue. Because even when you look at the various victims that have been victims of violence and even stripping in public transport it's really not about dressing. Like the lady in Nyeri had a sundress. The lady in Kisumu had white trousers. The lady at Embassaba, the incident that happened at Embassaba had jeans on and a red top. The Kayole incident, the woman hooker, egg hooker. At that stage she knew her because she was hooking eggs. She had a jeans skirt. So it's really not about dressing and we need to move away from this conversation of dressing and tackle the real issue. The real issue is that there is a gender war. There is a gender war and it's playing out to the extreme level in public transport. There is this perception that this is a woman's place and any deviations from that we are like, let's show you where you belong. Go back to your place. Go back to your car box. And again going back to the perceptions we have about Matatu people. Even the men themselves don't see themselves as being in jobs. Right? I was waiting for a job while waiting for the real job. So part of our work is saying this is a job. The Matatu is your office. Right? According to our research, most people on a minimum are in the Matatu industry for three years. Yeah, a minimum. Minimum. Some have worked there for years. It is not a transition job, seek a job, any job. And if you take it seriously, it could bring you a lot of return. Like we've had one of our ladies, she started off as a conductor, moved as a stage manager. And she wants her own Matatu. Oh, nice. So those are the examples we say, like, the effort you put and your vision and your desire about working in the industry is what will determine come out of that position for long. Right? If you answer, how are you interested in it? How are you interested in it? This is how you can get your own Matatu. And you know the industry. Yeah. Who's better to run a Matatu than you who's been in the industry. Right? And so I would like us, I think, in conclusion to move away from conversation about dressing. It is not about dressing. It is not about dressing if there is a gender wall. We need to, as a society, we need to unlearn and relearn the modern woman. Yeah. Right? We are working off a script that only worked for our great-grandmothers. Yeah. The modern woman has had to reinvent herself. Right? And it is our, at the very least, our mandate as a society to just learn the modern woman. That's powerful. Yeah. Things are changing. We need to change with them. It's time to join me. Thank you for having me. And we wish you the best in your campaign. And we hope to see more changes in the industry. And creating a comfortable environment for women to commute and to work in that industry. So thank you so much. So like Naomi said, we need to learn the modern woman and create a comfortable environment for her to work	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2WKDhlxHws", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCTleG6-484F7WHZD0hAjRRw	Beyond This World, Going Beyond this World, Be Passersby, A Course in Miracles, ACIM	Practice and live the mystical teachings of Jesus assisted by online courses, online retreats, and an online Tribe of Christ community: https://the-christ.net https://livingmiraclescenter.org If you enjoyed this session with David Hoffmeister please subscribe, like, and share!!! (Traducción en Español esta abajo) In this video, David Hoffmeister talks about going beyond this world. David is a living demonstration of the deep teachings of non-dual/A Course in Miracles. For those who feel a deep call for Awakening, David Hoffmeister is pure inspiration! ACIM is a pointer to the non-dual awareness. Enjoy! We perceive the past when we look at the world. This perception is coming from our thoughts and so what we think and what we perceive in the world are the same. In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus says, "Be passers by." And in the Sermon on the Mount he said, "Judge not." These short statements contain all we need to know in relation to the world. In the Workbook of A Course in Miracles it is described as "The world I see holds nothing that I want." Here David gets into the focus for the whole retreat, that beyond this world there is a world I want, a world in which we relax into being completely loved and provided for. This is the mystical state of the direct experience of God. When Jesus is calling us out of this world, he is really saying “Don’t give any belief or validity to any of the thoughts of the ego.” This is what you realize when you go deeper into meditation. Even when you are able to sink behind this surface thoughts there is a fear of letting go of the meaning of the world, because the ego will say “Then you will be nothing.” Yet the Holy Spirit is telling us to trust this movement inwards. Editors Note: I’m so grateful for the direct way David is guiding us beyond this world. He shows us that we are seeing a motion picture of our attack thoughts projected onto the screen of our mind. The only way to truly heal is to let go of these thoughts and open up to a whole new experience. We can relax, knowing we are, and always will be, loved and cared for! Aquí David se mete en el foco de todo el retiro, que más allá de este mundo ay un mundo que quiero, un mundo en el que relajamos en ser completamente amados y con todo lo que necesitamos. Este es el estado místico de la experiencia directa de Dios. Jesús nos llama fuera de este mundo, y él realmente está diciendo "No le dé ninguna creencia o validez a cualquiera de los pensamientos del ego." Esto es lo que te das cuenta cuando vas más profundo en la meditación. Incluso, cuando usted es capaz de hundirse detrás de estos pensamientos superficiales todavía existe el temor de dejar de lado el sentido del mundo, porque el ego dirá "Entonces serás nada". Sin embargo, el Espíritu Santo nos está diciendo que podemos confiar en este movimiento hacia el interior .

En un punto del curso Jesús habla del mundo que creemos que vemos como una alucinación. Y eso nos empieza a dar un contexto acerca de qué es la sanación. Porque una alucinación es ver algo que no está ahí. Y él nos está enseñando que estamos percibiendo el pasado cuando vemos el mundo. Y que esta percepción viene de nuestros pensamientos. Y también que nuestros pensamientos no son diferentes al mundo que percibimos. Entonces podríamos decir que cuando estás viendo al mundo estás viendo pensamientos de ataque. Es como una película de pensamientos de ataque. Y puedes empezar a ver que la única manera en que puedes sanar es no identificarte con ninguno de esos pensamientos de ataque. Alguna vez cuando lisa ha estado aquí en la casa le dice David esto parece como un protector de pantalla. Todos estamos familiarizados con el concepto de un screensaver en un computador. El concepto de protector de pantalla de las computadoras. El protector de pantalla es siempre algo agradable a la vista, relajante y que está hecho para proteger la pantalla. Sí, y agradable a la vista. Entonces el protector de pantalla está ahí para que veas el protector de pantalla pero que no eres ese protector. No es como para tener una interacción con él, ni para preocuparte acerca de eso. Entonces el papel del ego es que te hace creer que tú estás dentro del protector de pantalla. Y podrías ver qué limitante sería darte cuenta que toda tu vida está dentro del protector de pantalla. Now we've been told from Buddha and Jesus about nirvana and the kingdom of heaven. And we're told that this heavenly state has nothing to do with this world. That this world is a veil drawn upon the presence of love and light. And truly we could say that it's a veil of distractions. So as I was listening to the themes that were coming up in the groups this morning. You can start to see that every one of those themes is rooted in the belief that you are inside the screensaver. And this is how powerful thoughts are. Your thoughts tell you who you are and what you are. And the thoughts even tell you where you are. But none of these thoughts can really tell you those things. Because our true creation is a creation of God. God gave us the who, which is the Christ or the Son of God. And then all of these other thoughts of the ego are trying to lead us in a different direction. Entonces cuando Jesús nos está llamando a salir de este mundo He's really saying don't give any belief or validity to any of these thoughts of the ego. Y cuando surge el miedo el miedo no tiene nada que ver con lo que parece ser. Porque el ego va a intentar decir a tu mente lo que es afortunado. Porque el miedo no tiene nada que ver con lo que parece ser. Porque el ego aún le va a tratar de decir a tu mente a qué tener miedo. Por ejemplo, miedo a perder un amigo o una relación o miedo acerca de cuestiones de salud del cuerpo o preocupaciones ambientales o preocupaciones acerca de tu profesión o tu trabajo o de perder un trabajo. Pero se nos ha dicho que el miedo no tiene nada que ver con ninguna de estas cosas. En la elección 13 nos dice un mundo sin significado y en género temor. Jesús dice que los separados se sienten separados y tienen miedo de no tener significado. Y esto es lo que enfrentas cuando entras profundamente en la meditación. Y esto es lo que enfrentas cuando entras profundamente en la meditación. Aún cuando puedas entrar abajo de estas oleadas de pensamientos superficiales hay un miedo a dejar el significado del mundo. Porque el ego te dice entonces tú no serías nada. Con toda seguridad tú no serías nada. Y aún así el Espíritu Santo nos está pidiendo que confiemos en esta entrada hacia la interior. Entonces es la única manera de descubrir que lo que nosotros somos es el significado. Él dice tú eres la meta que el mundo está buscando. Queriendo decir que nuestra verdadera identidad es la meta de lo que el mundo está buscando. Algunas veces las personas sienten guía o una entidad. Esa es la intuición de algunos pasos que dar. Y estos pasos no tenemos porque tener temor de ellos. El temor es hacia dónde nos están llevando. A dónde me están conduciendo. Y por eso hay algo de miedo con relación a los pasos. Y para hablar acerca de este tema del control si sigues los pasos del Espíritu te vas a dar cuenta que no hay control en este mundo. Que todas las responsabilidades personales involucran el control. El ego creó todas estas responsabilidades personales como una defensa contra la verdad. Y muchos de los temas hablan acerca del control y del miedo a dejar el control. Del deseo de dejar el control. Uno de los miedos de dejar el control es de no ser funcional. Todas las responsabilidades en este mundo están hechas para mantenerte como un ser funcional. Entonces hay mucho refuerzo en esto de ser productivo y un ser funcional. Y en mis viajes de durante muchos años alrededor del mundo he conocido amigos que han tenido experiencias místicas. Cristian está en mi mente y la voy a usar como un ejemplo. Una vez estábamos en un lugar donde cultivan el café. Y durante todo el día ella apenas si podía caminar. Si la hubiéramos dejado sola, ella hubiera estado tambaleándose y caminando en círculos por la calle. Y si la hubiéramos dejado sola, ella hubiera estado tambaleándose y caminando en círculos por la calle. Entonces literalmente todo el día tuve que estar sosteniendo su mano como estar sosteniendo la mano de un niño. Después cuando fuimos a un lugar ella veía el menú y no lo podía leer. Cuando entras en este estado profundo místico no puedes contestar preguntas simples. Como que debo comer o a donde debo ir. Porque la experiencia mística trasciende la experiencia humana completamente. No hay un sentido de tomar decisiones en un estado místico. Es solo un profundo estado nada más de ser. Una vez estábamos visitando a un amigo y nos prepararon una comida. Y cuando Kirsten estaba levantando su sándwich para llevarlo a la boca, entró en un estado místico. Y nos dimos cuenta que nada más se quedaba ahí con el sándwich. Como si nunca hubiera visto un sándwich antes. No sabía para qué era el sándwich. Nos tenía tampoco un sentido de que el sándwich estaba en el plato. Ningún concepto de la boca o de poner el sándwich dentro de la boca. Ningún concepto de los dientes o de morder o de masticar. Todos esos son memorias pasadas. Ella solamente se quedó mirando al sándwich por mucho tiempo. Y finalmente lentamente lo puso de nuevo en el plato. Y estas situaciones pasaron muchas veces, varias veces. Ella estaba en nuestro monasterio tomando una taza de té caliente. Y entró en una experiencia mística. Y lo más que pudo hacer fue poner el té en su regazo. Y nada más confiar en que no se le iba a caer y que iba a estar bien. Hablé con ella hace unos días y me dijo que iba a ir en un tour. Ya había estado en nuestra casa de paz por varias semanas. Y me sentí que ella estaba en mi casa. Y me sentí que no estaba tomando ninguna decisión. Y ella empezó a preguntar, ¿cómo va esto cuando me empiezas a viajar y me quedas en las casas de las personas? Porque la gente que está en la casa de las personas, la gente que está en la casa de las personas, porque las personas le van a hacer preguntas, ¿qué te gustaría comer? Y ella se siente más y más que ella estaba incapaz de hacer ninguna decisión. Y estaba sintiéndose cada vez más incapaz de tomar decisiones. Y nuestra amiga Ricky estaba viajando con ella. Y Ricky me llamaba algunas veces y me decía, yo no sé cómo hacer esto. Es muy difícil para mí estar con una persona que no puede tomar decisiones. Entonces tuvo que practicar el orar y escuchar muy profundamente. Casi como una madre que está tendiendo a un niño muy pequeño, siendo muy intuitiva. Y a través de esta oración ella aprendió no a hacer preguntas a Kirsten. Porque cuando le hacía a Kirsten aún la pregunta más simple, Kirsten nada más se le quedaba viendo como, ¿qué estás haciendo? Aún con las preguntas más básicas alrededor de alimento o de cualquier cosa. Ella aprendió a confiar en el espíritu y escuchar. Y a seguir la guía. Entonces le decía a Kirsten, aquí está tu bebida y Kirsten nada más la tomaba. Así como lo hacen los niños, lo ponen la bebida en frente de ellos y ellos toman. Pero a un bebé no le preguntarías, ¿quieres jugo de naranja o leche? Entonces se dan cuenta como cada lección que aprendemos es acerca de aprender a cómo orar. Y simplemente aceptar lo que se nos da. En realidad en eso no hay preguntas. Si puedes orar, escuchar y seguir, si puedes orar, escuchar y seguir, si puedes orar, escuchar y seguir, todo en tu despertar se te va a dar sin esfuerzo. Hablé con Kirsten ayer y está en un tour en Florida y fue a un grupo donde las personas estaban hablando acerca de muchas cosas y ella nada más observaba el grupo porque es un sentido nada más de estar observando. Y después cuando ella empezó a hablar, habló durante horas y medias sin parar. Todo fue involuntario, no fue una decisión acerca de si hablar o no hablar. Tampoco había una decisión acerca de si hablar o no hablar. Todo vino de manera involuntaria y sin esfuerzo. Y a eso es a lo que te está llevando tu viaje espiritual. Cuando realmente sueltas y le permites a Dios estás soltando todos los pensamientos acerca de este mundo. Todos esos pensamientos que te preocupaban, todos esos pensamientos que parecían tan prácticos y tan importantes nos muestra el espíritu que son absolutamente nada. Ni un solo pensamiento acerca de este mundo significa nada. Sería como sentarte en tu computadora y ver el protector de pantalla y esperar que ese protector de pantalla te diga quién eres tú o preocuparte qué estará pasando en el protector de pantalla. Algunos de nosotros podemos observar los protectores de pantalla pero rara vez peleamos con nuestros protectores de pantalla. De hecho no conozco a ninguna sola persona que haya peleado con un protector de pantalla. Como dice, ¿Cómo está tu mañana? Mi screen saver me está creciendo. Porque no estamos esperando que venga un significado de protector de pantalla. Pero de nuevo todo este mundo es un screen saver. No deberías permitir que el mundo te moleste porque no tiene ningún poder sobre ti. Por eso Jesús dice, es con tus pensamientos con los que tienes que trabajar. Todos los pensamientos son nada más están apegados a estos pensamientos del ego. Ni siquiera son problemas reales. Pero si creemos en la realidad de estos pensamientos, vamos a reaccionar. Entonces el ego es un sistema de creencias y él hizo sus propios pensamientos y estos pensamientos no tienen nada que ver con Dios. Y este mundo que percibimos es el mundo del ego. Es muy temporal y cambiante. Siempre está fluctuando. Nada que ver con Dios. Dios no tiene nada que ver con la creación de la percepción porque la percepción no puede ser creada. Es una invención, es una fabricación, es una fantasía y por eso es irreal. No tiene una fuente. Entonces por eso puedes darte cuenta qué importante es observar la mente y tener la voluntad de dejar de soltar cualquier cosa que tu valores en este mundo. Algunos de ustedes conocen los evangelios de la Biblia. Hay un evangelio oculto llamado el Evangelio de Tomás. Y si tienes oportunidad de leer el Evangelio de Tomás, hazlo. Es una manera muy exacta de hablar de las enseñanzas de Jesús. Y en el Evangelio de Tomás está la enseñanza más pequeña de Jesús. Y por decir pequeñas, estoy hablando acerca de palabras porque todas eran enormes en contenido. Por ejemplo, en el sermón de las montañas dice la Biblia dos palabras. Y estas han sido las palabras más difíciles de practicar en este mundo. Y en el Evangelio de Tomás, Jesús nos dio otras dos palabras. Y en el Evangelio de Tomás, Jesús nos dio dos palabras. ¿Ve? ¿Ve? ¿Ve? ¿Ve? ¿Ve? ¿Ve? ¿Ve? Déjalo pasar. No, como que dejar pasar todos sin preocuparte. Y esa palabra, esa enseñanza encaja muy bien con el de no juzgar. Esas cuatro palabras son la mejor expresión de todas las enseñanzas de Jesús. Déjalo pasar. Y Jesús nos enseña esto en la lección 128. Él dice, el único valor que se le debe dar a este mundo es dejarlo pasar. Él dice eso muchas veces en el curso. Entonces conforme tu progresas en este viaje interior y el ego está ahí tratando de aferrarse, ya sea a una persona, a un lugar, a un libro, a un clima, cualquier cosa de este mundo, cuando escuchas esa voz que dice, bonito, esto es bonito, tratando de aferrarse a algo de este mundo. Tratando de que está bien el que permanezcas en ese protector de pantalla. Pero de esto siempre surge un sentimiento de control, un sentido de confusión e incluso de duda. Porque tú no fuiste creado para vivir en un protector de pantalla. Nuestra identidad es tan gloriosa y santa. Él nos dice, el mundo nunca te va a contener. Y es por eso que su escena de libro es, el mundo que veo no tiene nada que yo desee. Una de las temas que surgieron de trabajar en un trabajo contra vivir de la Divina Providencia y el Espíritu Santo siempre es muy práctico. Entonces, si el ego te desee, si el Espíritu santo te desee, si el Espíritu santo te desee, si el ego te desee, si el ego te mete en problemas, digamos deudas o problemas financieros, el Espíritu santo te va a sacar de esos problemas. No hay nada correcto o incorrecto con relación a trabajar. La pregunta real es, ¿Para qué es? Y si hay deudas o cosas que tú prometiste, entonces quizás vas a tener que trabajar para obtener dinero. Pero esto no es el importante. Porque el Espíritu santo quiere que el Espíritu santo quiera que tú veas que Dios es el proveedor de todo. Cuando hablé con Kirsten por teléfono, ella habló acerca de la reunión. Yo tengo tanto amor en mi corazón que lo único de lo que quería hablar con ellos es de qué amor, qué ellos son amor. De lo único que ella puede hablar ahora de cuán amado eres, de cuán completamente amado eres. Que se están cuidando, que se están ocupando de todo. Que te relajes porque todo lo que aparentemente necesita se te va a dar. No hay ninguna razón para preocuparse con nada relacionado con la escasez. Y eso es lo que la Divina Providencia nos enseña. Que nunca hubo una causa para preocuparnos. Solamente eran creencias, locas y pensamientos locos que estaban moviendo estas emociones. Un par de semanas, Kirsten me llamó porque todavía tenía algo de preocupación. Me dijo, tengo que tener muy clara en la idea de la responsabilidad. Y ella dijo, Me dijo, tengo que tener muy clara esta idea acerca de la responsabilidad. Para mí, dice, yo todavía creo que yo soy responsable de tu felicidad. Y le dije, mi felicidad, ¿tú realmente lo crees eso? Es que dentro de mí está esta creencia de que tú debes de ser feliz y que yo debo asegurarme de que seas feliz. Y le dije, yo no quiero que tú te preocupes por eso. Porque si esa es tu preocupación, siempre vas a estar preocupada. Y le dije, tú solamente tienes una responsabilidad. Y esa es el levarte, como un ave. Y ella dijo, muy bien, una vez escuchar. Y después, 10 minutos más tarde vi que ella publicó eso en Facebook. Mi única responsabilidad es elevarme. Porque le dije, esas experiencias místicas que estás teniendo son todo. Y nada es comparable con eso. Le estás dando permiso a ti misma de dejar este mundo. Y dijo, sí, me doy cuenta de eso porque algunas veces todavía pienso acerca de las personas o incluso del ministerio o incluso de compartir el mensaje. Y le dije, no, tienes que soltar todo eso. Tu única responsabilidad es elevarte. Y en CAMAS acaban de repintar la señal en el frente del centro metafísico. Y dicen, deja ir. Y después de la palabra ir, está la palabra de que quiere decir deja Dios. Es que en inglés es go, es ir y God es Dios. Y es el mismo mensaje. La única manera que podemos liberar cualquier cosa es entregar nuestra mente completamente a Dios. Pero mientras queramos vivir en el protector de pantalla es como decirle a Dios, yo tengo cosas importantes que hacer pero la verdad es que no hay cosas importantes que hacer. Sólo el ego te va a engañar con respecto a eso. Eso es lo que yo he experimentado con la casa de milagros. Es como una danza una danza involuntaria. Y sólo el ego tratará de hacerla parecer algo más. Es como un pensamiento de duda. ¿Quién está cuidando la mesa del café? ¿Quién está limpiando la alberca? ¿Quién está limpiando las fuentes? Es el infierno si tratas de vivir de esa manera. Con un sentido de preocupación y de responsabilidad personal. Mi experiencia de los milagros es que se nos dan libremente. Cuando he viajado a otros países ni siquiera me gusta ver los horarios. Porque no quiero pensar acerca de personas o aviones o situaciones. Eso no es divertido. Es más feliz permanecer presente y observar y estar sostenido. Eso es lo que significa elevarse. Es como decir seguro. Y no necesito pensar en el mundo. Y amo aceptar lo que se me presenta. Así como cuando Ricky le presenta a Kirsten la bebida. Es algo que es dado no te lo cuestionas. Y se requiere práctica para vivir en esa fe. La vida está hecha para ser así de fácil. Porque nuestro creador es un creador muy amoroso. Y no tenemos que tener preocupaciones o dudas.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2-ifYlifMs", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Hardy-Weinberg population gen X. This is a very important formula to know. I would recommend memorizing this. We're putting it on a cheat sheet for you to do when you go into the exam. First and foremost, the PQ equals 1. That is just stating that P, which is 1 allele and Q, which is a second allele, have to equal 1. They cannot equal 0.9. They cannot equal 1.1. They have to equal 1. And then secondly, P squared plus 2PQ plus Q squared equals 1. And if you'll look to this chart over here on the right, you'll see kind of an explanation of how this works out. So P and Q crossover in the Punnett squares here. And you'll be able to do these, draw these out on your exam. And you see the P from the horizontal axis and the P from the vertical axis come together in the top left box and give you P squared. Similarly, it goes down. You get PQ on the top right and bottom left. And then the Q goes over to the bottom right square. And you get Q squared. So if you add all of those up, multiplying the 2PQs together, then you will get 1. You'll see this often used on the exam as likely a three-part question where they will ask you if the chances of certain disease happening or the chance of a certain genotype or phenotype being present in an offspring. Moving on, imprinting disorders. This is where one gene copy is silenced due to methylation. And this leaves only one copy to be expressed. So this happens when one of the parents has a gene that is silenced and the other parent is no longer there. So there are two common ones of this is Prater-Willi syndrome and the Angelman syndrome. Prater-Willi starts with a P. And that is a paternal allele that is mutated. So the mutated or deleted paternal allele causes the problem with Prater-Willi. We see this manifested as hyperphagia, obesity, intellectual disability, hypogonadism, and hypotonia. Angelman syndrome, you see the M is highlighted here. That is a maternal mutation or deletion on chromosome 15 that causes the issue here. This is seen with seizures, ataxia, a severe intellectual disability, and inappropriate laughter. We call this the happy puppet syndrome.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2FeViJl60w", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCGvoIhFaB3OiRZqpti0eFnw	BA 1st Sem,Course: Foundation Course in English,(Block-2) Unit-9 Phrases & Idioms,Part-1	Contributor Dr. Pallavi Gogoi Assistant Professor (English) KKHSOU	null	2022-05-13T11:43:04	2024-02-05T07:53:01	303	Y2p2Pn2TkFI	University. In today's program, I shall be taking up a course from Foundation course in English semester 1, log 2. The unit is titled Unit 9, Phrases and Items. First, I shall begin with a table of contents, starting with the learning objectives followed by a discussion on phrases and items and then we shall move on to questions to check your progress followed by the references. Starting with the learning objectives. After going through this unit, the learner will be able to discuss the function of phrases and items, gain an idea on the importance of phrases and items and also figure out the common phrases and items that we use regularly in our expressions. Now, coming to phrases and items, one of the basic characteristics of the English language is the huge talk of idiomatic expressions. Most of these expressions have posed a serious problem to second language learners of English. The problem arises because the meaning of these expressions cannot be easily deduced from knowledge of the normal meaning of the constituent words. Any learner with knowledge of the normal meaning of fall and out, for an example, would be able to understand a sentence like, my wallet fell out of my pocket. However, knowledge of our meaning of individual words will not provide any clue to the learner with certain idiomatic expression. For an example, they have been good friends for years until they fell out over some trivial matter. Now, do you see the difference? It is important for second language learners or speakers not only to understand the implied meaning of such idiomatic expressions, but also to use them in order to add sparkle to the expressions. Two central features underlying an idiom are, a, the meaning of an idiomatic expression cannot be deduced by examining the individual words that make up or constitute an expression, b, the expression is fixed both grammatically and structurally. In keeping with above features, the sentence given below is inappropriate. If you note, look at the sentence, he turned every stone to get the job. The expression, turn every stone, distorts the fixed structure, leave no stone unturned. For an example, he left no stone unturned to get the job. That is why it is important to note that the form of expression cannot be changed. Moreover, an interesting point about these idiomatic expression is that a word can enter into an enormous number of constructions. A word like hand can enter into as many as 92 idiomatic expressions which include free hand, hand in glove, catch red-handed, wash one's hands off and a host of others. The implied meanings of idiomatic phrases add a dash of sparkle to expression and when we use it in its proper context, it makes expression more apt and precise. Sometimes if you note, it also adds a dash of wit or humor. For an instance, the phrase for good which means forever could be used to express something in a witty manner. I have to get rid of that fool for good. It is important to grasp the essence of these idiomatic expressions in order to use them correctly both in spoken or written form. Now we come to the questions which are as follows. These are questions to check your progress and some of the possible questions. Question number one, why does idiomatic expressions pose serious problems to second language learners of English? Question number two, what are the two central features underlying an idiom? Question number three, what does the implied meaning of idiomatic phrases add to our regular expressions? And question number four, write a few lines on the functions and importance of phrases and idioms of a language. Here are the references. You are advised to go through the BA English Graduate Self-Learning Material that is the SLM of Foundation course in English, block two, unit nine, semester one. Thank you dear learners.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2p2Pn2TkFI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCvQQMY6TyUdt5VeHpuHv_Dg	An Agricultural Revolution to Fight Climate Change?	An Agricultural Revolution to Fight Climate Change? Cars and coal may get most of the attention, but one of the biggest contributors to climate change is the food industry. Globally, agriculture accounts for at least 25 percent of humanity's annual greenhouse gas emissions, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. But some think that this situation could be radically changed—instead of just cutting agriculture's carbon footprint, maybe we can use agriculture to reverse climate change. By harnessing photosynthesis' power, experts think we can turn a major part of the problem into a solution. But can we take this new way of thinking out of the lab and into the policy realm? Will American farmers, many of whom deny climate change is man-made, get onboard? Will Big Agriculture join in—or is it too focused on today's profits to worry about tomorrow's climate? Participants: Peter Byck Director and Producer, Carbon Nation Professor of Practice, Arizona State University Mark Hertsgaard Judith D. Schwartz Author, Cows Save the Planet and Other Improbable Ways of Restoring Soil to Heal the Earth Kate Sheppard Staff Reporter, Mother Jones Barry C. Lynn Director, Markets, Enterprise and Resiliency Initiative, New America Foundation Matthew Yglesias Business and Economics Correspondent, Slate http://newamerica.net/events/2013/agricultural_revolution_climate_change	[ "Climate Change (Website Category)", "Agriculture (Professional Field)", "Energy", "U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization" ]	2013-07-25T23:13:57	2024-02-05T06:36:21	4,735	y2V_xv2uwwU	Good afternoon and thank you for joining us. My name is Tori Bosch and I'm the editor of future tense future tense is a partnership of slate magazine the new America Foundation and Arizona State University and our goal is to examine breakthrough technologies and look at their implications for public policy and for society. In addition to live events. We have a channel on slate where we publish daily commentary about technology and science news which you can find at www.slate.com slash future tense. Before we get started, a couple of quick housekeeping notes. First of all, if you're on Twitter, you can join the discussion using the hashtag green farms. Also the event is being streamed online. So when we get to the Q&A, if you could please wait until the microphone comes to you so that everyone watching online can hear the question. So for the past month, future tense has been running a fascinating and provocative, if I may say so, series of articles on agriculture and climate change. Instead of just looking at ways to mitigate agriculture's carbon footprint, we've looked at how we can leverage agriculture as a weapon against the damage that's already been done. The pieces included things like how open source GMOs could transform agriculture without lining big ads pockets and why so many farmers are climate change deniers and whether it even matters if they are. Also New America's Barry Lynn and Lena Kahn looked at whether big ag will prevent green technology from being widely adopted, which Barry will discuss later this afternoon. But the driving force of the package and today's events has been Mark Hertzgaard, who is the Schmidt Family Foundation Fellow at New America and a veteran journalist who has long covered climate change and the environment for publications like The Nation. His most recent book is Hot Living Through the Next 50 Years on Earth. His two pieces for the future tense package on slate included an interview with Michael Pollan and an in-depth look at Biochar. Ever the dedicated journalist, Mark even stuck his arm in a pile of compost so he could really get the feel for the story. Mark's going to kick us off with a 10 minute look at how agriculture could help combat climate change. Then he'll join moderator Kate Shepard from Mother Jones for a 50 minute panel. So Mark, I'll hand it over to you now. Thank you very much. Thank you, Tori. And can everybody hear me now? In the back, can you nod your head? Yeah, you can nod your head. All right. And John, I assume that I'm going, that you can hear me in the back there. So thank you all for being here and thank you, Kate, for coming to moderate for us. And thank you, Tori, for doing such a terrific job of herding all the cats and the five part series that we've done. If you haven't read it, I urge all of you to take a look on the future tense site. I hope it will be provocative and inform your own work in this area. I will start by confessing that our main goal here, at least mine, has been to broaden the gaze of our climate change discussion. I've been covering climate change now for longer than I'd like to remember for a lot of different magazines and in various books. And one of the things that is striking about the conversation is that it is focused almost entirely on energy, the energy sector, transportation, buildings, et cetera. And that's very understandable because that is the largest contributor of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are driving the problem. But it is a mistake to ignore agriculture, and agriculture has been largely sidelined in these discussions. And that's a mistake for at least two basic reasons. One is that agriculture, especially if you include forestry as part of agriculture, is a big part of the problem. It's responsible for a lot of emissions. And you can argue about the exact number. The World Watch Institute and its recent State of the World report put it at 25 to 30 percent. You've seen the UN Food and Agriculture Organization give figures ranging from 18 to 40 percent. There's even a couple of former World Bank economists, Robert Goodland, among them, who say that if we really counted it properly, that agriculture could be responsible for as much as 48 percent of all of the global emissions. In any case, it's a big part of the ongoing emissions. But the other reason, and I say this as the father of an eight-year-old daughter and an eight-year-old who was the main motivation for me writing my last book, which is a book called Hot Living Through the Next 50 Years on Earth. And it's about how my daughter's generation can live through the amount of climate change that is now loaded into the system. And so for me, I have a very strong personal stake in finding some way to reverse this problem. And agriculture, I think, offers the most promising means of actually turning back the clock on climate change. And one of the things we've tried to do in this series is to suggest that we need a paradigm shift in our approach to climate policy, not just to incorporate agriculture into the policy, although that's a big part of the discussion that's necessary, but rather to really shift how we look at what a solution means. To date, most, when we talk about solutions to climate change, and you see this in the media coverage, you see it in the kinds of discussions that happen in think tanks like this and lobby groups around town. Most of that discussion is not only focused on energy, it's focused on the ongoing emissions. So we talk about let's shift our electricity supply from coal to solar or wind. Let's improve the energy efficiency of our buildings, as President Obama said in his landmark address last month. All of these things are vitally important. I don't want to be misunderstood here. We absolutely need to do that. But they are all about the ongoing emissions, the current and future emissions, which are adding about two parts per million carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, two parts per million every year. Again, that is important, but what is driving the problem now are the 400 parts per million that are already up there in the atmosphere. That's why we have seen what the World Meteorological Organization recently described as, quote, an unprecedented number of extreme weather events in the first decade of this century. Not just Hurricane Sandy, but before that last summer, which as you doubtless remember, was the hottest summer on record in the United States, worst drought in 50 years in the United States. Two years before that, worst drought that had ever, and heat wave that had ever hit modern Russia. Going back 2003 to the record heat wave in Europe that killed 71,000 people in the space of six weeks. Think about that number for a second. 71,000 people. That's many more people than we lost the war dead in Vietnam in six weeks in one of the richest parts of the world. That's the kind of extreme weather events that we are now experiencing. And it's not because of the two parts per million that we're adding every year. It's because of the 400 parts per million that are up there already. And yet all of our discussion, and it gets very heated, as you know, in this town in particular, all of the discussion about climate policy is focused on that two parts per million. How can we stop doing that? When we also have got to get serious about that 400 parts per million. We've got to figure out ways to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to draw down that 400 parts per million. You can argue about where it needs to go to. Jim Hansen, the former NASA scientist, has famously said it has to be 350 parts per million. There's indeed the organization now, 350.org, that my longtime colleague Bill McKibben is running. But at the very least, it's clear that 400 parts per million look at what it's already doing today. In 2013. And remember that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for a long time. So that even if we were completely successful under the current paradigm of cutting all new emissions, which is a pretty hard thing to do, but let's imagine for a second that we did that. So no more coal plants in China. No more deforestation in Malaysia and Indonesia and Brazil. No more gas guzzling automobiles in the United States. Even if we did all of that tonight, given that 400 parts per million that's up in the atmosphere, the temperatures on this planet would continue to rise for another 30 years. And as those temperatures continue to rise, we will continue to see the kind of extreme weather events that we've experienced in an unprecedented amount in the last 10 years, according to WMO. So this paradigm shift that I'm advocating is to go after that 400 parts per million. Now, I'm not the first person to say this. I'm sure you've also heard a lot of talk, an increasing talk in last year or two about so-called geoengineering. And that is a means of intervening in the climate that goes after this same purpose, to try and either withdraw some of that carbon from the atmosphere or shield our planet from its effects. So you've got these very... I remember Tori put this line into my piece. It was very good at sci-fi ideas that are by no means clear that they would work, but things like let's put some giant mirrors up in space between us and the sun so that we can kind of deflect some of this heat away from us. Others have said, let's drop iron filings into the ocean so that would draw down some of the carbon dioxide. It would also ruin the oceans, but that's one of the problems with a lot of these geoengineering ideas. Not only is it not clear they would work and not only would they cost enormous amounts of money, but they would have both predictable and unpredictable consequences. By contrast, agriculture, at least in theory, offers us a way to draw down that 400 parts per million through the process known as photosynthesis, which is the basis of agriculture, which is in fact the basis of all life on this planet. The reason we are sitting here today is that plants extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and they turn it into useful food for us, for animals, etc. That's all the things you learn in third grade science, how plants breathe in CO2, they exhale oxygen so that we can breathe that oxygen, and then they use that CO2 to create their stems, their leaves, their roots, and so forth. So the idea that first Michael Pollan and I described in the first piece in this series, and then I returned to in a later piece, is to use photosynthesis to extract carbon from the atmosphere and store it underground where it cannot contribute to global warming, at least for many, many, many years. There's scientific debate whether it's decades or more likely centuries and even perhaps millennia. And as Michael described in the first piece, we can do that through changing how we use livestock, and as I described in the later piece, also with how we grow crops. In the case of crops, it involves something called biochar. Let me just see a show of hands if I could. How many people here know the term biochar? Raise your hand if you could, please. Some. I will predict that if we were having this discussion two years from now, almost every room in this hand would go up. Biochar is a phrase you will become familiar with. And it's partly because it offers, again, in theory, a means of turning back the clock on climate change. And I'll be very brief in describing it and then we can bring everybody else up and discuss it. The essential idea is that, as I said, with photosynthesis plants capture CO2, they hold it. And then when the plants die, they will release that CO2 back into the atmosphere. Which is why, by the way, how many people here have seen the graph that's captured from the Mauna Loa in Hawaii of the CO2 emissions over time? If you've seen that, you'll notice, especially if you kind of zoom in on it, you'll see that it goes, of course, it goes up like this from 1958 when they started taking the readings to today. It goes up like this on the graph, but it goes up in little sawtooth amounts. Each year, as it goes up, it goes up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down. And that's because plants, as they grow in the spring and the summer, they are taking CO2 out of the atmosphere. So the amount goes down. Then in the fall and winter, when they fall to the earth and they decay, they release that carbon and that's where you get the upslant on that sawtooth. So that's sort of the necessary backdrop to understanding this. What biochar would do, and there's many different kinds of biochar, but essentially would be to capture that CO2 and not let it back into the atmosphere, but rather to bury it under the ground. And the way this would happen, let me just say biochar, and this oversimplifies slightly, so I apologize, but for the purposes of this discussion, biochar is essentially a fancy scientific name for charcoal. And it's something that has been used by indigenous peoples for a very long time. We have archeological evidence in Brazil going back about 2,000 years. And essentially what charcoal does, the way you create charcoal is usually with wood, but you can do it with other plant material, is you heat it. You do not burn it, though. You heat it in a low-oxygen environment, so they're kind of smolders. If you burn it, of course, it would just release everything back up into the atmosphere. But if you heat it rather in a low-oxygen environment, you char it. Hence the name charcoal. And that charcoal, then, if it is put under the ground, buried into the ground, or inserted into the ground in whatever fashion you want, it is then removed from the atmosphere, cannot get back into the atmosphere for at least a very long time. And by doing that, you use photosynthesis, capturing all that material, and then you put it back under the ground. And so in theory, you should be able to dial back that 400 parts per million. That's the theory of it, and I want to emphasize that there's still a lot of reporting that needs to be done. I don't know if I shared with you, but when Michael and I ran that first piece, we got two or three very huffy responses from academics who said, this is not proven, and no soil scientist in the world would tell you that it's proven. Well, that is a vast overstatement, but it contains a kernel of truth. The biochar, in particular, and the livestock side of this, still have to be vetted and proven. And there's two or three basic questions about that, and I'll stop there. We have to see, does it really work in practice? We know it works in theory, and we know it's worked in the past in the Brazilian example I mentioned. But can it really work under modern conditions? Two, can it be scaled? Can it work in enough places at a large enough volume to really make a dent in that 400 parts per million? Which was one of the other complaints that one of the academics raised with us, saying that you'd have to basically, that it's logistically unfeasible for the world to turn that much biomass, trees, plants, et cetera, into biochar. So is it scalable? And third, what are the social consequences of doing it? Because one way you could do it, which we know would be terribly destructive socially, would be to just plant vast tree plantations, clear-cut them, and biochar them. Now, you could certainly extract a lot of carbon that way, but you would also create probably more problems than you were solving. For one thing, you would be driving an awful lot of poor people off of the only land they have. And that's been one of the problems with big picture environmental and development policies for many, many decades now is that the people who design them don't think about the average peasant on the ground. So can it be done in such a way that it is socially helpful rather than harmful? And related to that, and I hope this is something that Barry will be talking about in the second session, is how does biochar and other means of soil, carbon, sequestration, how do they fit or contradict the currently dominant model for agriculture, which is an industrial monopolistic model where we've got a few very large companies who control most of the land, most of the inputs, most of the wealth, and crucially, most of the political decision-making. Does biochar reinforce that dominance or does it subvert it? These are all questions that remain to be answered, and I'm happy to say that I'm actually going to, I'm continuing to do reporting on this. In fact, I'm leaving this afternoon to go see some more fields and research stations, including, surprisingly perhaps, US Department of Agriculture. It turns out that the US Department of Agriculture is about the only major institution, agricultural institution in the world that is seriously looking at biochar. So I would say stay tuned on this. There are many questions still to be answered, but the main message here that I hope you will take away from today is that we need to broaden our gaze to discuss climate change. We have got to make agriculture central to that discussion, not just because it's a big part of the problem, but because it might very well be a crucial part of the solution to actually dialing back the problem. So thank you very much for your attention to this opening part, and then I think, do I introduce the others or do you, Tori Bosch? I believe you do. Kate, or maybe Kate will do it then. Kate Shepherd, my colleague at Mother Jones Magazine. Do you want to come and join here and I'll sit over here. Well, let me call up our other two panelists first. We have Peter Beck, who is the director and producer of Carbon Nation and a professor of practice at Arizona State University. And we have Judith Swartz, who is the author of Cows, Save the Planet and Probable Ways of Restoring Soil to Heal the Earth. Thanks so much for coming up today, guys. I will start out by saying that I cover climate change a lot, but I almost never cover agriculture. I grew up on a farm in New Jersey, and I think that's why I probably avoid the topic of agriculture. But just last month my... We've got two farmers up here, farmers kids. You and me, are you guys farmers too? No. Last month my family's farm lost 50 acres of squash because of the just relentless rain that they had throughout the month of June. It caused this disease to spread in the soil. They had to tear it all out. It was pretty terrible. And I talked to my father afterwards and I said, you're a Republican farmer. I think a lot of people probably would think that you don't believe in climate change. He says, of course I believe in climate change. I go outside and I can tell it's all effed up. So to put it in delicately, he was right. I think most farmers probably realize that things are changing and they don't really exactly know what to do with it, but it's something that they realize is happening. So I'm really excited to be here, and this is a subject that I do care about for a lot of reasons. So I guess I want to start with my first question. We're going to have about 35 minutes of discussion up here between the panelists, and then we'll have about 15 minutes for audience questions. So start thinking of your questions now. So my first question, in his big climate speech last month, President Obama didn't even mention agriculture at all. Why do we largely ignore the topic of agriculture in policy debates about climate change? The reason people are ignoring it is beyond me. I mean, when I started researching Carbon Nation in 07, our point was to make a film about solutions to climate change. I learned about ag as a solution within three or four months. And so it's powerful. The first people we talked to were folks at the Marin Carbon Project, and they were just starting up. And the idea that they work on is to add a half inch of compost to the soil and see what it does over a period of time to that soil. They're also integrating rotational grazing, somewhat with the Alan Savry method. And they're doing the science, which has been lacking, as you mentioned. And so Wendy Silver, UC Berkeley, they've been taking samples for five years now. And so they're taking compost from the city that was going to be emitting a lot of methane. They're taking trash from the city dump, making compost, and the dump it was going to be emitting a lot of methane. They're then putting a half inch on the soil, and it's basically turning on the soil. As I'm sure you've found, in the U.S., most of our soils are losing carbon. They're exhaling carbon, where carbon is naturally supposed to be in the soils. Do you want to add just to what you were saying before, that when we talk about the CO2 load, that we often are just talking about emissions from the energy sector, but over time way more CO2 has gone into the atmosphere from agriculture. So once you start to think about agriculture as the source of that particular problem, then you can look at solutions anyway. It's just a carbon cycle. It's exactly what you were describing with biochar as a possible solution. Carbon goes up, carbon goes down, carbon goes up, carbon goes down. But what the marine carbon projects finding is, once they put one half inch of compost on the soil, they're flipping on the soil, and all of a sudden the natural systems are actually kicking in all on their own. And from the soil scientists I've met, they said about 10 years ago they would have told you they knew about what 10% was in the soil, what microbes are in the soil. Now the smart ones are telling us they know 1%. They just don't know. But we're calling it a biome. And if I hold a handful of very healthy soil, I've got 70,000 different types of organisms in my hand. And I've got more organisms in number than humans, all the humans have ever lived on earth, in one handful. So the fact that it's not in policy, it's been mind-blowing to me. It's been mind-blowing. I think another reason it hasn't been in policy, well two more, is that frankly, most of the people who are engaged in policy discussions are urban people, who think that your food comes from a grocery store. And that's one of I think the great achievements that the food movement is beginning to have in this country, especially with our kids, is to understand, go to a farm and see where your food comes from. And if you're eating meat, which is your choice, know what that means to eat meat. So that's one reason. The other reason I think is that the people who are running the agriculture system are quite happy with things as they are. And they don't want this to be messed with. And there's no benefit that I can see to Monsanto, or Cargill, or any of the big agribusiness players in getting involved in the climate debate. I know some activists are saying that no, some activists have even begun to criticize biochar, by the way, because they think that Monsanto is behind it and the Bill Gates Foundation is behind it and they are going to just clear cut the entire planet in the name of making biochar. But I don't think that's, I mean, that may be, for all I know, perhaps that's true, but I certainly don't see that, that doesn't appear to be Monsanto's strategy. They seem to be much more focused on, in particular, genetically modified organisms. So I hope that the policy discussion will begin to include agriculture because it's, because without it, I just don't see how we solve the problem. We don't. So in Michael Pollan's piece, he lays this out as a sun food versus oil food question and that we need to move from an oil food system to a sun food system. What kind of changes need to happen, big picture, to make that change? You go ahead. Well, I would say that we need to move from agriculture from an extractive model to a regenerative model, which is, I think once we start making that shift, then a lot of other things will start to fall into place. Not only the CO2, but other ways of restoring land and land function. What I'm learning now is that that biome is also feeding us and now we're a biome. We're looking at that humans are 90% of what's in my body and your body is not you. It's a different DNA organism. So if we feed the biomes correctly and we know this, we know this relationship, getting to know it well with cows and the soil and that that biome relationship is very, is very clear. I think what's really missing right now is just respected farmers putting 40 acres aside and trying a real strong non-chemical farming method because they're respected in their community and see it and try it. I think that's really what's missing right now. I don't think farmers are inherently happy that they are farming with seeds that they can't use the next year and things like that. I don't think that's like a thing that farmers are inherently happy about. They want to have yields. So the missing piece right now is the proof that you can have higher yields not using chemicals and what I'm getting at now is there's a presentation that just came out of New Mexico State where these guys are getting yields much higher than any chemical farming and they're doing it with how powerful they make their compost and getting the soil carbon up to 17%. A really healthy soil is about 5%, 4% soil carbon. Of all the stuff that's in there that's got carbon in it, that's a good healthy soil. Right now in the US the average, according to the USDA, is 1.2% carbon. A lot of people say carbon is our biggest export. It's the world's biggest export. We're just shifting it and putting it in the air and it's dropping in the ocean, making it acidic. And so I think right now it's getting the story out there, writer, writer, filmmaker, writer. I mean we're working at this, right? And getting the respected folks in communities, it's going to start small, but it's not small right now. I think this is what critical mass feels like a couple years before it hits. I think this thing's going to really power on. And it's just going to, I think that's the thing. Get those respected folks to do it. They'll see. I want to suggest one other that does not disagree with either of what these two points have been, but perhaps precedes it, which was the real point that Michael and I were trying to make in our first piece. That piece talked about, and sort of the gimmick to that piece was that anybody who read Pollan's book, Omnivore's Dilemma, you came out of that book thinking, wow, I better not eat meat if I care about the climate. And the gimmick of our piece was that Michael was saying, well no, actually you can eat meat. And eating meat could actually even help the climate. The question is not meat versus no meat. The question is what kind of agricultural system do you grow the meat under? And if you grow it under the current system, whereby we plant monoculture vast amounts of corn in particular, we feed it to these poor animals, we were grouped together at these massive industrial feedlots in really inhumane conditions, and then we eat way too much of it in a diet that is way more meat-based than it should, that's very destructive of the climate. But if you change the system away from the industrial model to an ecological agricultural model, eating meat can actually be a positive if those cattle instead are grazed on grass. Because as Michael explained in that piece, what happens again with the carbon cycle is when a cow, let's say, is grazing in a field, and let's say that just for ease of understanding, let's say that the average piece of grass is one foot tall, 12 inches tall. Well what that means is that under the ground there's 12 inches of root system. Nature tends to equal out. So if the cow chomps that down to one inch, so 12 inch stem of grass goes to one inch, the plant responds by seeking equilibrium. So the 12 inches of root that are under the ground, 11 inches are shed. And what that means is that all the carbon that's caught, that's embodied in those roots, is turned into new soil. The nematodes and the microbes and all that that are in the soil chomp that down and that becomes new soil and captures that carbon, the carbon that the top of the plant had originally carried. So that's how even eating meat could actually help fight climate change. But it assumes that you're going to have grass-fed beef. And not just grass-fed, but that is a whole different way of growing. Certainly you wouldn't need all those vast monocultures of corn that you see if you drive through Iowa. But also it implies a very different kind of ranching. And those of you who know anything about ranching, it would be much more labor-intensive, frankly, than the current model, where you just put a bunch of cows in a place and you don't really care what happens to them. So make a long story somewhat shorter, I hope, is that I think that what we really need is not just to get the news out, but to challenge the current industrial agricultural system. As long as that system remains in place, it's going to be very hard for any of these common-sense solutions to really break through, to be anything more than marginal. Because you see a lot of activity around the country, culturally and just on the ground, if you will, of people going to farmers markets and encouraging their local farmers. And the Rodale Institute, for example, has 30 years of data showing that in fact, ecological agriculture can out-compete, reduce even industrial. I don't think the problem is a lack of information so much as the current stranglehold that the big boys have over our policy. And when most of the federal research dollars and most of the policy, as we saw in the Farm Bill over and over again, goes towards perpetuating an industrial agricultural system, it's very hard for these alternatives to break through. May I jump in on a couple of points? Yeah, Rodale's awesome. And they've been doing it for a long time. These side-by-side tests, chemical farming, non-conditional farming. The idea of grazing being different, it really starts with Alan Savry, but a lot of people are taking it and moving, taking Alan's work and moving on and doing it their own way. I was just filming a rancher in Mississippi named Alan Williams. And it actually is taking him less work to do the work that we're talking about. It's grass-fed and grass-finished is the key. You never want the cows to be eating corn because they weren't evolved to eat it. It causes all sorts of health problems. Some people even call corn for a cow poison. But when a cow is eating grass, that's its natural state, that's its natural evolution. And so what's happening is, as you mentioned, when you eat that grass down to one inch, you want to get that cow away from there now so the land can regenerate. So Alan Savry's method is to basically replicate moving herds being hunted. That's the basic concept. And so they break the farms down into paddocks and they use this one strand of electric wire on a spool, make a new paddock, get the cows in there. The cows know the food's better over there. It's very easy to get cows to move where there's better food. It's astoundingly easy. And so he's not now going and cutting hay on someone else's land. He's not putting inputs into his land by grass because he's got a monoculture of grass, which is what's feeding a lot of grass-fed cows right now. It's not a monoculture. It's more a biodiverse diet of grass. The one we want. Exactly. But the one that's unconventional is a monoculture of grass. They do one grass in the summer and one grass in the winter. So these monocultures don't help anybody. Look at this room. It's a lot of different people. This is how things get done. And so he's actually having less work. He's making more money because he's selling his meat for more money. And so there's a lot of success stories out there. Here's the trick. Here's the biggest trick. You touched on this. The way science has developed to test things right now is a very linear testing. Let's try this. Okay, let's do a control where that's not happening. And then let's put the two things together and that's that. But all of these methods that turn on the soil that Paulin's talking about, that you're talking about in your book, they're complex because nature is complex. And so the science of studying the complex issues is brand new. And up until just recently, I couldn't find anyone doing it. But the USDA, exactly your point. This is really exciting. The USDA has a group called the NRCS, Natural Resource Conservation Service. Is that right? And they're actually going to do a complex test of this rotational grazing in Colorado. With the Environmental Defense Fund, with the Nature Conservancy, with a bunch of ranchers. It's going to start in September. They've done all the legwork. They're going to try a complex scientific study. And so that's great. But if you go to these ranches and you go to these farms, you see something wonderful is going on. I mean, you've been out there, right? I have been to the Marine Carbon Project and I have to, as a journalist, I have to say that in fairness to the other side of the argument, Wendy Silver and the farmer who we visited, John Curle, John Kirk, rather, they are not yet seeing that the Allen Savory Method is working. Correct. And they are... What you hear when you say that back to the Savory people is that, well, they probably didn't follow the protocols, right, A and B. That, look, we're not doing this to prove it to academics. We're doing it because it works. And I do think that if it's going to really get institutional backing that you do, in the modern world, you do have to be able to do peer-reviewed studies that prove that it's work, that it works. We are still very early. You're right. The science isn't there yet. It doesn't mean that it can't be there. But when even people like Wendy Silver and John Kirk who are certainly open to it working, when they're saying that, well, we don't see it yet, you know, let's just be careful that we bear that in mind, too. So given all that we said about, you know, how we have a lot of more studies to do and we're not really quite far along in a lot of these studies yet, I mean, can the changes that need to happen happen fast enough and can they be done to scale to make a real difference, considering that we have all acknowledged that we don't have a huge timeframe here? What I'm looking is who is at scale needing these products already, right? So you look at McDonald's. What people are finding, when you have grass-finished beef, it's high in omega-3, which is good for us. When you have corn-finished beef, it's high in omega-6s, which is not good for us. So imagine if McDonald's said to their supply chain, we want grass-finished beef. They can then say to the world, our main product is a health food. That, to me, is how you get to scale. Walmart. If Walmart decides they want to do this, it gets done. But Walmart did decide that. Walmart did make that statement, not about meat, but they said a couple years ago that we're going to demand that our supply chain obey child labor laws and pay attention to environmental sustainability. And the record over the last two years is less than stellar. So I think it's... Let's be careful about seeing... Putting too much stock in one big corporation changing their rhetoric about this. We have to look at this systemically, and this is something Barry Lynn will be talking about later. But as long as you've got a system where, you know, Walmart's basic business model is to cut labor costs and all the other associated social costs of environmental protection and so forth, so that they can keep that price to the average American consumer as low as possible. There's only so much that the twiddling around the edges can change that, I would think. I'll make sure Judith gets them here as well. Oh, okay. Well, I mean, one way to make things happen really fast, but I'm not convinced that this is possible right now is to begin to internalize some of the costs that are now externalized. And by that I mean, in the cost of a product, just the damage that it's causing, et cetera. And flipping that around to subsidize rather... Even the word subsidize makes me very nervous, but somehow have people encouraged to use regenerative practices because when you're building soil carbon, not only are you sequestering that carbon, but you're also creating a scenario where the land can hold water, which has a huge, huge impact in terms of dealing with resilience to drought in terms of dealing with flooding because if the land isn't dry, then the water can go in because basically flooding often happens when you have drops of water... Flooding begins when you have drops of water hitting dry earth. So when you're building the system and people are rewarded and encouraged to build the system, then it will shift. One other thing that could happen, too, and we've just seen this recently with Obama's recent speech on climate change. If the United States, building on the efforts of the Department of Agriculture, now began to go into third world countries and change how we subsidize and help assist with their agricultural policies. You could have an enormous difference on this. In his speech, the President said that he was going to encourage an end to public financing to overseas coal plants. And you may have noticed that shortly thereafter in the last couple of weeks, both the World Bank and the U.S. Export-Import Bank have followed suit and said, we're not going to do that anymore. That is potentially a huge breakthrough because without that public financing, most of the coal plants that are now poisoning the people and fouling the skies in China and India would never have been built. So that's a big deal. And if we were to do a correspondingly big shift in our agriculture policy overseas to encourage things, not just biochar, but just the general ecological approach to agriculture that, frankly, a lot of those farmers already know and are inclined to do and things like evergreen agriculture and planting or growing trees in the midst of that, there's a lot. We have the tools and we've got 10 or 12 case studies around the world. We know what works. All it needs is to just scale that up and that would take us a long way towards solving the problem. Can I just add one thing to what Judith was saying? Yeah, we're going to have questions after that. Sure, sure. So talking about externalized costs, of course, the big externalized thing is carbon. So putting a price on carbon, a simple carbon tax, not even getting complicated with the cap and trade system. And I think a lot of people in Washington would think that's impossible. Certainly every economist that I interviewed for the film thinks it's the most logical way. But what I'm seeing right now is I'm seeing an incredible growth in people who understand the benefit of a carbon tax. My libertarian friends, my libertarian cousin, they hate externalities, hate them. And they think a carbon tax would make perfect sense and actually they want that. So I can see strange bedfellows coming together to propose such a thing. And a lot of people are talking about doing an income tax neutral carbon tax, where the money just goes straight to people, but it incentivizes getting carbon out of the system. You put a price on carbon for these farmers. They're business people. That would kick it the fastest. Let's get a question from the audience. Make sure that you have the young lady in the back has the microphone, that she brings you the microphone before you start speaking. We'll go up here to the young lady in the corner in polka dots first. Up here behind the divider. Hi, my name is Alexis Baden-Maren with the Organic Consumers Association. I'm reading Judith's book. And one of the most interesting new concepts that I wasn't aware of was how mycorrhizal fungi helps draw carbon into the soil. Can you explain that for everyone? I thought that was fascinating. Oh, wow. Okay. So, well, you mentioned carbon tax and carbon trading. What happens is in the soil, carbon trading is going on all the time. That carbon is the currency in the ground. So, basically, through photosynthesis, the plant makes compounds, draws the carbon compounds down into the soil. And then there are other creatures, the zillions that you mentioned, that want that carbon as food. So, via these networks of mycorrhizal fungi, they make exchanges. So, mycorrhizal fungi are really, in addition to being difficult to say, they're also really incredible because they expand a plant's reach for what they need. Let's say water or minerals, and that brings them up into the plant. But, yeah, and one component of them is a substance called glomalin. It's a glycoprotein. And this was only discovered in the late 90s. I mean, it's kind of extraordinary. And they think, scientists are finding that that's a key component of carbon storage. And, of course, anytime you're doing conventional agriculture, you're tilling and you're severing those relationships, which means the plants have a harder time getting what they need and the carbon is not stored as easily, et cetera. Any more questions? Okay, I'm right in front of her there in the green shirt. Hi, Shafali Sharma, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy. I was actually, we were quite involved in the discussions on the international level on agriculture and looking at incentives. And it's interesting that you're mentioning both tax and carbon trading because an example is the World Bank project where they decided to spend a million dollars on a carbon methodology in Kenya. And we actually looked at it in great detail and realized that the bulk of the money actually went to the carbon methodology developers. And the organization on the ground, which had been there for 25 years, had had to put all this upfront financing. So carbon trading as a model to do this. We wholeheartedly support the idea that there's potential for changing these practices and even mitigation. But the science also on the feedback loops around rising temperatures and rain, moisture. So from an environmental perspective in terms of looking at numbers and emissions, I'm not sure it's a great way to look at this, but from a transformative, regenerative point of view as you're talking about, it's a great way to look at transforming the agriculture system. And like you said, getting Walmart to do that isn't necessarily going to change that, but trying to create a systemic change does. So I'm wondering what your experience is and we're watching the California market and looking at offsets. And the notion that you can take this kind of scheme and then say, well, then coal-fired power plants can use that as credits doesn't necessarily help us with what is there already, the 400, you know, what we're talking about, the 350 parts per million. So just wanting to get your thoughts on all this. Can I clarify your point, please, before you sit down? Are you saying that when you say that it's the benefits that the research indicates that the benefits are clear in terms of regenerative agriculture? That I follow. But you then say that it's not clear that these practices would actually lead to a drawdown of carbon. And is that, am I understanding you correctly? And second, is that because of your skepticism about the carbon trading mechanism for achieving that or is it skepticism on the science front and the amount of biomass that would have to be turned around? That's great for asking that. Well, two fronts. There's definitely enormous skepticism in terms of the carbon trading because it's part of a financial casino and derivatives and all of that. And so at the end of the day, what are people on the ground getting? But in terms of the science, I think we need to be aware that yes, there is a swell carbon sequestration, whether it functions in a linear fashion and in the way that we think it's going to function because there's so much land use change and there are so many natural occurrences, weather events. There's all kinds of things that affect soil and the ability for the soil to be able to retain that carbon, which is what a carbon trading methodology takes for granted, right? It takes for granted 20-year time this much carbon over 20 years. And so the idea is, yes, it will sequester. Yes, we need to do this. It's the right thing to do. The question is how do we start to frame it in a way where it's not just this equals this and therefore this much money and this much credit so that oil companies and coal companies and everybody else can take credits off of that? It just has one last thing. So if the mechanism of achieving this were not to be carbon trading but rather a carbon price through a tax or what have you, would that allay some of your concerns or would the scientific concerns still be there? I think we need to, we would definitely support the idea that we need different types of incentives and a carbon tax and we need to recognize the value of the sequestration. I think to the extent, I think the scientific integrity is where we start to quantify exact measures and how long it's going to last. So that's an issue that we just need to put on the table. That is on the table. The protocols that are being worked on right now is how do you measure the carbon? How deep do you measure it? How do you know it's going to stay there? And so if a farmer is going to say, I'm going to do carbon farming with my cows or my corn and I'm going to guarantee the carbon is going to stay in the ground, well there needs to be mechanisms to do that. So what's going to have to happen is that farmer's going to have to put an easement on his property or her property saying this property will not be used for 100 years in any other way than this method. So it's complicated. How do you get someone to say something's going to happen for 100 years? That's the number that the protocol folks are working on right now. There's a guy named Steve Appelbaum who I highly just look, AP, FEL, BAUM. His group is right at the forefront of all of these issues. And so it's being worked on. And I would say that the science is coming in that this stuff is staying in the ground. I mean certainly with the biochar example you can go back 5,000 years and look at that. But there's so many other examples of the stuff is staying there. And the one thing that we haven't talked about that if it wasn't in your article is certainly what I'm sure you and Michael are talking about, which is the nutrition of the food. And once we get a lot of carbon in the soil that biome turns on and it's giving us the nutrition we need. Right now a lot of our foods don't have anywhere near the nutrition they had 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago. So the carbon in the soil is a remarkable thing. I've been tasked in tasking my partners. What's the downside? You know we can say what's the downside of putting iron into the ocean. We can look at downsides of putting mirrors up in space. But what's the downside of getting a lot of carbon in the soil? You get great water retention for flooding. You get great porosity for flooding. You get great water retention for drought. You get much more nutrition. So the carbon cycle, the water cycle, the methane cycle, the mineral cycle, all those things get pounded into a good state. And the only thing I can think of, and this came from John Wick at the Marine Carbon Project, is if everyone does this and we get the carbon back to 350 and all of a sudden it's a 280 and all of a sudden it's a 200, we're going to have to burn coal to get more carbon up in the air. That's literally the only downside I can find other than there's certain companies that will have to really retool themselves to stay in business. Any other questions? A friend here in the orange shirt. Hi my name is Stephen Schwartz. I'm a video producer with a company called Local Flavor. And I look at the policy and the debate over carbon tax and agriculture methods and the different economic systems as one discussion. But the real discussion I think that we really ought to take a look at is how do you increase public demand? Because we live in a capitalist system that's not going to go away. And you can see industries turn on a dime as soon as their customers start changing their preferences. So in my opinion, one strong question is how do you get people to favor the kinds of food that translates into the kinds of soil and the kinds of mineralization and carbon sequestration? Just at the very top, for example, you can measure the amount of nutrition in the food that you buy at the grocery store in a refractometer. You bring it home and if you look at a chart you'll see that what you just paid for is organic is actually a four. And poor starts at six. So the organic versus conventional and all of these different discussions translate into a mom who's putting a bowl of carrots on the table for her children. She needs to put a much bigger bowl of carrots for those kids to get the nutrition Yeah, well you mentioned I don't remember this point where the food movement is really really powerful in this. And another aspect of demand is I think getting the word out, getting the stories out about the potential for regenerative agriculture and what that can do in terms of climate. One reason is that I think people are so demoralized about all the news that we get about climate. So I think a little bit of hope will go a long way. I think that's something that people would get really excited about. And are getting excited about. I'm going to take an issue with you a little bit because I think that's exactly what's been happening in the last five years. And that's been a great achievement for the food movement. But even in my grocery store back home there's now an organic section. Because they're smart enough to see what it is still, let's be honest, it's something that the people in this room can afford because it does still cost extra to buy organic. And it's something that most of America still cannot or thinks it cannot afford. And why is that? Because we are still, as a society, subsidizing artificially cheap food that is bad for your health through the agribusiness model. So yes, it's important to try and change demand. But we have to remember are creating the desires in your heads all the time with all of the advertising that is constantly on television radio, media, billboards. Now they're putting them on Japan the other day. They're starting to put ads on young girls' thighs. I mean, where's it going to stop? So it's not enough to just say well, let's change the demand. We've got to get political as well. So we were talking about this before. If you want it, what do you do tomorrow? We're going to change the food movement. And one way into that movement is to change what you're buying. But another way is to get involved with the groups that are out there who are fighting to change the policies that are creating this larger issue. To your point, don't underestimate a vote. Great. That's all we have time for, I think. One more question. I'll take both these questions because you both look really eager. But we're going to do a rapid fire. You have to respond quickly up here. And you have to make sure your question is concise. So we'll take the pink shirt first, and then the lady in the white sweater up here. Second. We could even hear both questions first. Diane signs with climate nexus. Can you stand up please? Diane signs with climate nexus. Toward that end, how do we replicate examples like kale? Somebody's marketing kale is a deep leafy green vegetable that has extraordinary nutritional value. And a lot of people are getting the message, even in low income neighborhoods. So could you talk a little bit about that? And how do we create more demand for high nutrition foods even in food deserts? Okay. And then the white shirt. Hi, I'm Kai Roberts, and I work actually with a lot of the big bad boys on sustainability issues. And I think the level is one of the ways to get what you want to get done. That's in parentheses for the recording. But my question is actually, you know, the time horizons are one of the big blockages. We've got long-term needs. It takes a while to build up the carbon, and yet you've got short-term contracts that need to be fulfilled so that all of us can get to buy our food at the grocery store. And so American Farmland Trust is one example has provided funding to farmers who are adopting so that they can experiment and not be penalized by experimenting because they get reduced yields. So I'm wondering if there are any other good models or policy incentives you might suggest that provide that transition funding to allow for the longer-term practices to be adopted despite the short-term needs of farmers and the companies. Great. Okay. I can speak to that when somebody else gets the kale. Vis-a-vis the devil, let me just recall that imperishable line of people dead that friend of the devil is a friend of mine. Look, the kind of transitional policies you're talking about is exactly what the U.S. Farm Bill should be doing and does do in certain sectors. So it's rather than to get down in the weeds about the specifics, there's a number of things that they're doing, for example, to help young farmers is one of the key issues. How do young farmers get into the field, if you will? One of the big things that are stopping young farmers is the price of land. And why is that the case? Well, because I'm sorry, but the big boys are buying up all the land. And so it's very tough if you grow up in Nebraska or like my family in Minnesota and you want to stay on the land and farm, it's very tough to get your hands in there because of the price of land. That's the kind of thing that the Farm Bill and that U.S. federal policy should be doing. And frankly, I'm more interested in those kinds of things than in helping Monsanto or Cargill transition. They'll be fine and if they're not fine, I'm fine with that. I'm not fine with young people who want to get into farming, who can't get in because of the stranglehold that the big guys have now. Yeah, right now that's happening more on a local regional level. That's true too. Anyone want to tackle the kale question before we wrap up? Good storytelling, good marketing. But let's get that refractometer on there and see if the kale is actually what they say it is. Yeah, that's one thing I learned. Organic doesn't necessarily mean nutritious. There's a fellow named Peter Donovan who I've been talking to. So he was saying he's looking at organic farms from Google Earth that are fallow. There's no cover crop in the winter. And that's as bad as you can do to keep your soil healthy. So therefore there's no nutrition yet they're not using chemical inputs. So there's systems here that work. And with regard to scale that is a question. There's a lot of supply chain issues. If everyone went to grass fed beef there's not enough butchers to do it right now, literally. And so there's a lot of issues like that. Great, well I want to thank Mark and Judith and Peter for being here today. And I'm sure you guys can grab them and thank you. And thank you to Kate for doing the moderating. Thank you so much Kate, Mark, Judy and Peter. It was a great conversation. And now I'd like to call to the stage Matt Iglesias and Barry C. Lynn. Barry is the director of the Markets Enterprise and Resiliency Project here at the New America Foundation and he's the co-author with Lena Kahn of New America on a recent piece about how Big Ag could or might not adapt to climate change. Matt is a Twitter superstar and the business and economics correspondent at Slate and the author of the book The Rent is Too Damn High. Thank you. Are we on? Hopefully. Well, I'm really glad to be here. Glad you all could come. And I guess we are here to talk about your new piece. Obviously as people have been saying about climate change, but it's both a driver of events that happen in the atmosphere and that impact the environment and also one of the economic sectors that's most directly impacted by climate changes and firms participating in the agricultural sector are going to have to adapt or suffer the consequences and the question is about how does the structure of the industry sort of create the opportunities for that to happen. One of the things that Lena and I did was really sort of shine a light on the ability of our society to generate the ideas and test the different techniques that we're going to need to grow food in the future, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years out. And this is a time as we know of pretty rapid climate change and maybe some of these ways of sequestering will turn out we have to adapt our systems. And now we've done actually as human beings we've done a really good job of adapting our systems over the last few centuries of expanding them, of mastering new ways to grow a lot more food. But we have to be able to keep doing that and what we're saying in this piece is that we have a really, really big problem. And the problem is that we've seen massive concentration of power over most of our technological systems. We talked about Monsanto but this is true throughout the political economy in the United States but it's a really big issue. If there's concentrated power over the production of mattresses which there is that's something we can live with at higher prices but when it comes to your food this is something that could really affect the supplies of grains of produce that we have tomorrow. So we've had for 100 years or so now antitrust law on the books in the United States enforced with different levels of vigor at different times but we also increasingly have intellectual property law and patent law where the idea is actually to deliberately promote the creation of monopolies in certain kinds of sectors. I mean that's what a patent is essentially and this you write some about the role this is playing in the farm sector. Patents are built the patent system goes back to the Constitution and the monopoly itself is not bad it's really a matter of what do you monopolize how long do you monopolize it for to what end are you monopolizing it and the idea is that we're going to give people short-term monopolies over ideas so that they can raise capital bring this to market get some reward for sort of bringing forward a better idea of some sort that's a good thing the issue is really how bigger the monopolies how long do they last how are they structured and what we've seen over this is something that people really became aware of more than 150 years ago at the time there was big patent fights in the 19th century Thomas Edison improved before he got into electricity he was a major inventor of telegraph machinery and he got into these big fights between Jay Gould and other people trying to control the telegraph industry in this country and people have known that using that having a patent combined with a large corporation that kind of integration can lead to really bad things and what we've seen in this last generation really since the early 80s is this new era of using patents to both build and then reinforce and buttress and defend giant corporate monopoly and it's the extension of this sort of into the agriculture sector though is relatively new right I mean you didn't traditionally have patents on different kinds of crops or animal breeds and that's actually a super important point which is that for all human agricultural history agricultural systems were wide open and people traded ideas and traded seed and what we've seen and it's been a series of decisions it goes back into the 1930s but there's been a series of decisions that have sort of shifted more and more control over the agricultural technologies to a few corporations and this is a pretty different space that we're in now and this is something there's we have all the models we need actually to figure out how to improve our technologies and open systems this is something we've done in agriculture as I mentioned but we do it there's software systems that are entirely open and so it's really how do we want to organize the institutions that empower our scientists and our engineers to bring us forth better ideas so can we make this more concrete I mean what what are the main levers that you would like to see push on to open this space up a little more I did a piece recently in Washington Monthly it actually just came out last week and it was on very similar issues and one of the things that covered in that article it really ties into this piece in slate is that in the 1930s this was during the New Deal there was a new approach to integrating the use of antitrust law and patent policy and this was something that was put into place by a man named Thurman Arnold who really kind of invented the modern antitrust enforcement system on his own with some friends back in the 30s and this was a system that was in place for essentially 50 years and they used the antitrust to essentially trump patent rights for large corporations you could remain large we're not going to break you up but you know what all those ideas that are inside your corporations you got to share them out between the late 1930s and into the early 1980s the United States government went after hundreds of large companies and said you will share out your technologies for free to any comer I mean that was the source that was actually if you go back that was the origins of Silicon Valley you know the in 1952 AT&T shared out this one little idea they had back in Bell Labs and you know it's hidden away this thing called the electronic transistor today we call that the semiconductor they were forced to share that out for free and they did that on day one with 35 different companies so people can understand it's because companies will often develop ideas they have labs they're doing research and development but oftentimes ideas will sort of come to the fore and then the decision will be made we don't really want to take this further we don't need to bring it to market so yeah especially when the company is very large you may not feel much incentive to bring new ideas to market this is actually one of the things that you know the debates that we have today you know this debate are monopolists more innovative than competitive competitive industries this was people had these same fights back in 100 years ago in the 1920s and one of the things that happened in the middle of the 1930s is the government actually went in to a bunch of the large corporations companies that made glass companies that made electronics and they forced them to show what was inside their vaults their patent vaults and they found this treasure trove of ideas that were not being used so that was the actual revelation that led people to say hey take this stuff out because in non-competitive industries you do not have often an incentive to bring forth a better idea actually your incentive is to keep using yesterday's technology as long as you can do we have any questions in the audience maybe a chance to open things up a little I'm just curious about what changed in the mid 1980s that led to sort of a shift in policy and a lot more protection for the patent rights of these big corporations the big shift that happened in the 1980s was actually in 1981 and just after Ronald Reagan took office there was a radical change in the way that we enforce antitrust our anti-monopoly law and if you go back it's sort of a simple way to understand the United States is going back to the original Tea Party 1773 that was a people standing up against the British East India Company it was a monopoly because they wanted free commerce and we did a pretty good job of saying well anti-monopoly the point of anti-monopoly is to create competition it's to distribute power and in 1981 they flipped this idea 180 degrees and they said the purpose of anti-monopoly law of antitrust should be to promote efficiency not the distribution of power so this is what we did for 200 years when we started to say we're going to concentrate power in the name of efficiency and that was basically the hard right working with the hard left kind of came together and pushed this radical change through but that basic idea remains in place today and it's called consumer welfare whenever you hear people talking about the consumer welfare test and antitrust it's just another way of saying we're going to promote efficiency and efficiency is pretty much over time a straight line path to monopoly this was actually, I mean he's gone on to be better known by the public for other things but Robert Bork's initial pioneering work was in this field it's how he sort of came to be known you had a question? Mark Hertzgaard Barry could you tell us how it's such a fascinating history you just mentioned about how they went in and shook this stuff out so as we think today about how to try to make that happen what were the political forces or the personalities or whatever that were able to do that and go into not just AT&T but corporations in general and force them to be more competitive it was a period, this really the policy was put into place in the mid to late 30s and it was this period in which the worst part of the depression was over but there was still this kind of built in unemployment and people were trying to figure out how do we get the economy really moving again and in the early part actually Franklin Roosevelt beginning in his second term said we're just going to take on the monopolies because we know they're choking the economy and that was at the point at which working with Congress and they said let's study the issue first let's go in and look and see what's inside of these vaults let's see how these companies have created their power so the point though there was this period kind of like today where you have a stagnant economy you have slow growth or no growth and people said hey we're going to change this and we're going to at that point there were a lot of people who said we can never take on the big companies you had a president who was willing to take on power you had people in Congress who were willing to stand up to power people talk about the effects of money there was money in politics back then it was worse than today in a lot of ways but it really is a matter of character do you have the character to take on power? Robin Harding has a great piece in the Financial Times today about the sort of delinking of corporate profits and corporate investment levels really sort of very relevant to that sort of question companies have money the resources to sort of invest but they're lacking perhaps the incentives to actually really kind of do so was the use of the vault two-way street could corporations go into some new company who only had one thing in their vault and take that and what prevented that? no and actually the need about using antitrust is that antitrust you're really only going to be using it against the largest companies so it left the patent system still in effect for the little guy the small company that comes up with a better idea and what you saw is suddenly it became safe to be small one of the things that we've seen in this country last 10 years 15 years whenever a new idea comes up some giant governing ruler of a system I mean it could be Oracle, it could be Google they'll come along and they'll buy it up now will they use that technology? they may but there's a good chance that they won't and for most of the 20th century one of the reasons that we had such a fantastic vibrant venture capital system in this country is because the big guys were really restricted in their ability to buy the little guys and then the little guys could kind of grow up they can go out and get capital they can prove their idea they can keep proving it stage after stage after stage so it was a system that worked really remarkably well I've been signaled that we are out of time so thank you everyone we want Monopolos	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2V_xv2uwwU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

And we will know, insha'Allah, what the difference between a دعوة بيت and a قواء عيد are on Sunday, insha'Allah. And the دعوة بيت that we're going to be giving are also going to be 13 دعوة بيت. And those 13 دعوة بيت will be on Sunday, insha'Allah. So today, we're going to do 11 قواء عيد. 11 principles. And on Saturday, you're going to do 11. And that will make us finish the 22 principles. And then we're going to go into 13 دعوة بيت on Sunday, insha'Allah. And that will allow us to finish the plan that we had for how to give دعوة. On the correct way of giving دعوة. Each of these principles that I'm going to give from the 11 principles I'm going to give today, I'm going to give it with three ways, insha'Allah. Our three approaches I'm going to take in explaining the principle. The first one is I'm going to give you معن القعيدة. When I say that principle in Arabic, I'm going to explain to you what does this principle mean. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you the evidences this principle has, the evidence that it has from the Quran and the sunnah. And then the last point, insha'Allah, is how this principle applies on دعوة. How this principle applies on دعوة. And of course I can't mention every field of how it can apply to دعوة. I'll only mention that which I think is insha'Allah is befitting for the time that we have insha'Allah. So does everybody understand how we're going to take this insha'Allah? Let's start with the first قعيدة. The first principle. The first principle is إِنَّمَ الْأَعْمَا لُبِنْيَاتِ. The first principle that we're going to speak about is every action is what is intended from it. This قعيدة, this principle إِنَّمَ الْأَعْمَا لُبِنْيَاتِ, which is every action is what is intended from it. It is from the scholars called القواعد الخمس الكبرى. It is called the five maximum legals in Islam. The five major maxims in Islam. And it has a big effect in the religion. ولي ذلك ألمان الشافعيوه he said about this قعيدة, this principle or this حديث of the Prophet, he said هذا الحديث يعني حديث إِنَّمَ الْأَعْمَا لِبِنْيَاتِ. He said it is one third of knowledge ويدخلوا. And it enters 70 chapters of the Quran. So now we have an understanding of what this قعيدة is. We understand what this قعيدة means. What does this قعيدة mean? فهذا يعني أن أفضل الأحيان يبقى على أفضلك. أفضل الأحيان يبقى على ماذا؟ يبقى على أفضلك. إذا كنا نقول كتابة، إذا كنا نفعل الأحيان، كل هذا يبقى على المنطقة والأفضل في why they said or did this. وذلك يهم للتأكيد من الأفضل والأفضل في المنطقة. لأن هذا هو أمام ما يتلقى على المنطقة. ما هو المثال للمنطقة؟ المثال للمنطقة هو أن الحديث في الذي بخارية المسلم يتلقى. أنه صحيح أن الشخص يقول هذا الحديث. إنما الأعمال وبنياء هو حديث، ولكن يقوله بمسجل عليه الصلاة والسلام. وأن الحديث يتلقى في مخارية المسلم من حديث عمره القطاب. أيضا أنه حديث. أيضا أنه حديث. أن هذا هو أفضل للمنطقة هو حديث من المنطقة الذي يقوله. عندما يسألهم أن الرجل يقاتل حمية. أيضا أنه يقاتل في مخارق الله. إذا كانه مقصد وهذا ما يردو. هو موطف ويقاتل. إذا كان هذا للمنطقة الله أو لا. ويجب أن تتعرف الحديث عن العلم صلى الله عليه وسلم. وفي بضعي حديكم صدقة. الحديث أبيدان، الذي هو صحيح مسلم. وفي بضعي حديكم صدقة. يوجد بضعي في العربية للمنطقة حديثة. لكنه يستخدم في حديث هذا وضعي. وفي القرآن السلم لا يتكلم عن هذه الأشياء. لا يقول ذلك. يتكلم عنها. وفي بضعي حديكم صدقة. one of you. when he has intimate relationship with his wife, he gets rewarded for it. فلعبت صاحبين سلسل إرسول الله أن يأتي أحد الأشهده و أحد يفوذ صراحة سبقه و يكون لأهو فيها أجر ثم يأتي أسرع فقط فالفرد قال أنه أرأيت لوضعها في حرام أكان عليه فيها وزر اذا كان يفوذ صراحة سبقه و يكون لأحرام فالفرد قال فكذا وضعها في الحلاله كان له أجر يأتي السموات عليه، حيث يأتي صدقيةه، ويصيب مهي المساعدة لإيجادته The Prophet when he just did here right now is called.. قعيدةashi وكياسو العكسي اما قياسو العكسي من العديد It is called.. قياسو العكسي The Prophet used the opposite as evidence for this particular issue Meaning we all agree that if a person goes and does Zina What did he get? He gets a SIM for it The same way if he fulfills his desires and حلاله He gets a what? He gets a reward for it ولكن تسمع، حديث يخبرنا أن الموطف في why he's fulfilled his desires in Halal is to stay away from the Haram and this Niyah is why he's getting rewarded for it This intention of him wanting to leave of the Muharramat and doing it to protect himself and not to fulfill his desires in Haram he gets rewarded for it so the Niyah is what he's getting rewarded for And also the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم صلاحين والحديث إن بالمدينة الى ريجالة إن the city of Medina there are men ما سرت مسير ولا قطعت مواديل إلا كانوا معكم حبسهم المرض The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم صلاحين غزوة التبوك إن باتلس تبوك when he was walking with some of his companions he said إن في المدينة الى ريجالة إن بالمدينة الى ريجالة إن مدينة الى رمان هو haven't come with us to this baton ما سرت مسير ولا قطعت مواديل You did not cut a distance and you did not go through a valley except these individuals They share reward with you They share reward with you And another reply says إلا شارعكم في الأجر Why? حبسهم المرض The only thing preventing them from not coming is that they were ill and they were unable to come They wanted to come They had the intention of wanting to come and to participate But what prevented them from it is what? What is it that stopped them from it? The thing that stopped them from it is that they were unable to So they're getting rewarded even though they're in مدينة And they're not in the battlefield What are they getting rewarded for? أنية الصالحة The good intention that they have The good intention that they have The intention of a person أنية الصالحة المجرد عن العمل يثاب العبد عليها A person if he comes with an intention That is stripped from any action He has no actions It's just a mere intention But the intention is so good You get rewarded for it You get what? You get rewarded for it Like the person who is what? Who wanted to do this thing Like حبسهم المرض Illness or a thing prevented him from it Like a woman who was on her menses She used to pray She gets the reward of the praying that she missed She used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays She gets the reward of those days that she used to fast She used to pray And while she's on this period of time It's prevented her from praying She gets the reward for all of that Due to what? أنية الصالحة The intention that she has أنية الصالحة المجرد Just having a mere intention That's stripped from any actions Itself can give you a reward It can give you what? It can give you a reward And also the opposite is true If a person comes with actions That are noble and upright But it's stripped from intentions They lose the reward They what? They lose the reward A person comes with fasting A person comes with صلاة A person comes with زكات and حد They lose all of the reward Because they didn't come with no intention So this shows us what? The power and the place in which intention takes So here we move on to the third point We explained what the قاعدة meant We gave the evidence that supports this قاعدة We're now going to move on to How does this principle Apply to دعوة The way that it applies to دعوة is It is not permissible For a person To stand up to do دعوة لجل بدنيا To attain worldly gain أو دفع مضرح Or to repel a A worldly harm from yourself You're not allowed to do that Because if you do do that And that is your motive Then you're not going to succeed In the دعوة you're giving So if your دعوة is To bring yourself a great worldly gain Or the motive behind your دعوة Is so that you can repel from yourself A worldly harm فإن هذا لا يكاد ينجح سعيه These individuals striving And their hard work that they're exerting It will come out with what? Nothing هلاء ممثورا Well if you had to get the sentence Some of them were asked Why is it that your statements Have effect on the people Why is it that you guys When you speak to the people That you've effected them And you made their hearts And their minds move They said that they spoke Those people they spoke from their hearts To the people's hearts But we speak from our tongues To the people's mouth Their tongue So it's everybody's The heart has been stripped away from The action of call it The same way is It is not permissible To warn against an individual To warn against an individual Say don't take knowledge from so and so From with the intention of backbiting With the intention of what But the way that you try to manifest it To the people And the way you try to show it To the people And the way that you make it seem Like is That you give it victory to the sharia Or you're trying to what You're trying to protect the boundaries Of the religion So you're making it look Like from the apparent That this is what it is Like in your heart And in your mind You have another agenda behind it It's also permissible To boycott the innovators And the people of sins It's also permissible To warn against them And mention their faults And their mistakes But with the intention of what To attain reward from Allah And you're doing this for what You're not doing it for Your own whims and desires You're not trying to get this person Because they did something You're getting them back It's not why The reason you're doing it Is what The reason why you're doing it Is ابتغاء الأجل من الله You're trying to attain reward From Allah And Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala The last point Insha'Allah Is It is upon the da'ee And the one who's giving verdicts And answering people's questions And ينظر إلى البواعث Ya'ala Al-A'man That when people ask you questions Don't just look at the action That they're telling you Look at the motive And the intention behind Why they did this Why because it's Because it's not Why because Because it has an effect On the verdict that you're going to give And it also has an effect On the ruling that you're going to pass And Forsaking that And dismissing that And not looking at the motive And intentions behind things حصل غلطون كثير Due to it A lot of problems came from it When people don't look at it And they don't take into consideration the intentions And now I'm going to move on to the next قاعدة The next قاعدة is أضرر لا يزال بضرري Or in other words لا يرد باطل بباطل This قاعدة It says لا أضرر حام When I'm moving on to the second principle We've now Spoken about the first والله the first one itself is pages And it can be spoken about months And the statement of Imam Shafi'u Says that to you Which is a ثلث العلم It's one-third of knowledge But we're summarizing And we're trying to finish things quickly The second قاعدة is أضرر حام لا يزال بضرري It cannot be repelled with another harm Another wording is لا يرد باطل Falsehood cannot be repelled And rejected with another falsehood بباطل in another falsehood And this قاعدة falls under one of the قواعدة القبرة خمسة القبرة Which is الضرر يزال That the harm is repelled It falls under that principle So the meaning of it is what As I mentioned That a harm occurs And then what you do is You want to remove this harm With another harm Or you want to Debunk or refute a falsehood Or reject a falsehood Or eradicate a falsehood But with another falsehood that you bring about The Stayman of Sheikh-ul-Islam ibn Taymiyyah And also the Suyouta in his Kitab al-Shbaha wa al-Ladair And And Imam العزب العبد السلام رحمه الله Wrote a book on this issue We're going to read A statement of this which I summarized Which is When it comes to The harm is one of two إذا أن يقول الضرر ناشي The harm that's going to come From you trying to eradicate The harm that's already there There's already a harm You're trying to eradicate it But there's a harm that's coming with it A خفم in الضرر It's less than the one that's already there So you're now You're trying to remove a harm that's there But the harm that you're bringing about Is less than the one that's already there In this situation Without a doubt To To remove The greater harm With the lesser of harms Is without a doubt better And in this situation To repel the greater harm With the lesser of the two The second situation is أن يكون الضرر ناشي The harm that you're bringing about Is greater than The present harm that's already there من الضرر الحالي You're bringing about a harm greater Than the harm that's already there In this situation Then بما هو أولا بما هو أشد منه It is not أعلى منه It is not permissible for you to remove a harm With a greater harm That's without a doubt You cannot remove a harm With a greater harm That you're bringing about But what about if the harm Is equal to the harm that's already there So you have a harm That's already there A problem that's already there But you're bringing about A ضرر a harm That's equivalent to it The scholars they say You're not also allowed To remove what A harm with a harm that's Equal to it Why? Because it could happen That the one that you're bringing May go beyond it It may go beyond it So there is not permissible For you to For you to come with it And the scholars they use it In other wordings they call it درء المفاصد أو لا من جلب المصالح They use that What's the evidence for this قاعدة What is the evidence For this particular قاعدة The evidence for this is The statement of Allah SWT Which is Allah says in Surah Al-Hadeed لقد أرسلنا رسولنا بالبينات We sent our messengers With clear evidence وأنزلنا معهم الكتاب So justice can be brought about Justice means what That there's no harm Justice means The removal Of a ظل And the Exceeding of limits Sharia came to bring about مصالح مصالح is عبن Justice Justice Justice The Sharia didn't come to Introduce harm Whether that harm is greater Or equal to it Also شيخ الإسلام إبنو جليل الطابري Also used this قاعدة For that principle And also شيخ الإسلام إبنو تيميا He mentioned that in his مجموعة الفتاة In his third volume page 246 There's also a Hadith of the عكس this قاعدة And the Arabic A Bedouin man Urinated in the Prophet's Masjid And the Prophet ﷺ said to the companions Do not stop him Stop him from urinating Let him finish Let him finish the urinating Why did the Prophet ﷺ Allow him to finish the urinating Him urinating in the Masjid It's a harm But why did the Prophet ﷺ let him finish the urinating Because them stopping him Is a greater harm Why? Medical issue for him That when they stop him from urinating It could cause him any medical problems All the second harm that it has Is that he may run from the place that he's at And then make the Masjid More of it The urine reach So there's two harms And him urinating is only one harm So the Prophet ﷺ He told them don't stop him Let him finish the urine And then he requested A Bedouin man He requested For a pot of water To be brought to him And he poured it over the urine So the way that we're trying to take From the Hadith is that The Prophet ﷺ He allowed him to finish off his urine Knowing that there is harm in it So that He doesn't make the Masjid even more He doesn't make the urine reach More of the Masjid And he doesn't also cause him any harm Also the Prophet ﷺ's Hadith is another evidence for this Which is After me there's going to be bad things That are going to occur They're going to be leaders who are oppressive They're going to harm you And physically bash you And take your wealth And they're going to be the leaders Look what the Prophet ﷺ told us They said What do you command us to do The Prophet ﷺ said To You will fulfill the rights That are upon you And you ask Allah for your rights Stop demanding for your right Ask Allah for it Why Because The oppressive leaders Who have absolutely They still believe as they haven't left The fold of an Islam Going against them Them being in power Is a It's a harm without a shadow of a doubt Them ruling over the Muslims Is a harm He's taking their money unjustly He's bashing them unjustly And he's causing harm That's a But when you go against them They're not a great harm You're bringing about a what A great harm Or maybe even a harm that's equal to it So what did the Sharia say Ask Allah for your rights Ask who Allah سبحانه وتعالى For your rights And give him his rights that he has upon you Meaning obey him and listen to him That's what the Prophet means Give him the rights that he has on you Which is to listen to him That when the people Have gone against oppressive leaders Leaders who are unjust Who are tyrant leaders The consequences was greater More bloodshed took place What they were looking for they didn't attain it Now that doesn't mean That when it said don't go against him That it's a A consent To his evil It doesn't mean that And the person who then accuses you About accepting the oppression Is a person who is speaking with no knowledge We're agreeing there's a harm We're agreeing there's a harm But we're saying That our harm is not repelled With a harm either greater than it Or equal to it How does this affect Or how does this Which is how does this go According to Our topic which is The way that it goes through it is That The داعي It's definite that it's going to have Opposition When you become a داعي You're going to have those who oppose you And sometimes what's going to happen Is that they're going to exceed their limits And their boundaries in your rights They're going to be unjust to you They're going to be unfair to you And they will even speak about you They're wrong They may even make you a kafir And take you out of the fold of al-Islam They may say that you are a fasik A transgressor They may call you a مبتدع It is not permissible for you To do exactly what they did to you Or to go even worse than that You're not allowed to do that So the داعي knows this قاعي That is going to live by it That if a person does تكفير on you If a person says to you you're an innovator You don't say well guess what you're an innovator You don't say any of that Because The person learns this through his قاعي Also this قاعي that teaches us That it's prohibited to debate innovators And it's also prohibited to debate These believers When you are trying to defend The truth with falsehood You are trying to defend the truth By using that which is falsehood Like for example You've been put in a situation Where somebody asks you What was the age of عايشة when the prophet married her And so you don't want to lose the debate You speak Which is When you know that there is Age of عايشة In Bukhari and other books That are دواويلوا السنة The age of عايشة when the prophet married her So what do you say It's مسائل خلافية الضرر ولا يزالوا بالضرر They fall under this قاعي ده That the religion does not need you The religion does not need you to what To defend it with falsehood This قاعي that also teaches us That some people they say That you are allowed to lie for the deal This قاعي that shows you الضرر ولا يزالوا بالضرر ولا يردوا الباطر بباطر it That you cannot refute a debunked falsehood With another falsehood You can't lie for Allah And say that lying against Allah Is وصحرام And lying for Allah is permissible And there are some people whose دعوة is like that That they believe If it's the مسلح of the دعوة You can lie So this is not permissible And this قاعي There are many other things fall under it The person learns how to prioritize things And they learn the مراتب And the levels in which things are وما إلى ذلك قاعيدة الثالثة The third قاعيدة That we have to understand is الشريعة This religion The shari'a meaning the Kitab and the sunnah جاءت بالتحسيل المصالح وتكميلها وتعطيل المفاصد والتقليلها That the shari'a came to bring about benefits It came to bring about good To complete good with us It came to bring about complete good for us And it came to Remove harm or lessen it So the shari'a what does it want to do It wants to bring about complete good If it can't It wants to bring a great amount of good And the shari'a wants also to do what It wants to Repel and eradicate harm In totality And if it's not able to lessen it This is what the shari'a came to do And this is what قاعيدة means وذلك العز ابن عبد السلام رحمه الله العز ابن عبد السلام رحمه الله سلطان العلماء who died a 500 And 77 He has a book called قاعيدة الاحكام Is it called what قاعيدة الاحكام This book of his He says The whole religion is مصالح إما تدرأ مفاصد أو تجلب مصالح It either repels harm or it brings about good Remember this The whole religion is about مصالح Everything that the shari'a commands is good in it for us Whether we know it or not The shari'a has either come to bring about good or it came to repel harm That's what it came to do And that is what this قاعيدة means The مصالح are three types According to the scholars The benefits to good are three types And this is us looking at the مصالح من حيث اعتبار الشرع العلاحة وعدمي In terms of whether the shari'a اكنولجس it or not It's categorized into three The first of them is المصالح المعتبر And we're going to do this issue about مصالح المفاصد We'll do a more detailed explanation بإبن الله الكريم But now we're just going to go over it fast The first one is المصالح المعتبر What does it mean? It means the considered type of benefit The shari'a has taken this good into consideration It is the type of مصالح that has come for it الدليل الشرعي The Quran and the sunnah are affirming it The Quran and the shari'a has requested for it to be brought The shari'a The Quran and the sunnah want it to be brought And it wants the people to come with it The second type is المصالح الملغات The second type is مصالح ملغات It's ملغات It's the مصالح which the shari'a dismiss When the shari'a said it doesn't want it It looks like The reason why they call it مصالح الملغات It looks like a good What does it look like? From the apparent It looks like a مصلح What does it look like? From the ظاهر When you look at it, it looks like a مصلح But It is a It's actually a harm How do we know it's a harm Because the shari'a Considered it to be a مفسده A مفسده Example A woman wearing a hijab نقاب on a sunny day The مصالح may look like That if she takes it off Or let's say there's a place Where the women Are all not wearing hijab Okay No one's wearing it So if she did take her hijab off She's not going to stick out So a مصالح might seem to be That she could take off her hijab It's not like anyone's going to look at her And anyone's going to give her attention Because everybody else is doing it And it's a sunny day And it's burning All of that might seem to be a مصالح But it's actually a façade How do you know it's a مفسده Because the shari'a Are actually dismissed And the fact that we know That the shari'a came with a مصالح And it didn't mention this Shows us that it's a مفسد The second type is The third one is The third one is The third one is The third one is The third one is The third one is With 4 conditions They can permit it I'll ask you to go to the На عجص يمام الشعب طبيحة رحمة الله You can find it there And we'll speak about it in more In more details The benefit فى المساعدة ي stakeholders look at it from another approach as well Just like a human being can be looked at from many approach in different ways Okay, I can look at you in terms of your height Are you tall? Are you sure? Are you average? I can look at you in terms of your complexion, your skin colour Are you dark? Are you light? I can look at you in terms of your weight The same as with al-Masalih We can look at from many different angles The first type of observation that we were looking at it is From the angle of whether the Sharia accepted it into consideration or if it didn't الآن سنرى المصالحة في حسبها's أسلسل وما هو المصالحة المفاصد؟ هذه المصالحة تعتبرها إلى ثلاثة تعتبرها إلى ماذا؟ إلى ثلاثة. المصالحة المفاصدة هذه المشكلة هي مصالحة ومصالحة ومالا هو المفتدة الخالصة المفصلة الخالصة المفصلة الخالصة هناك أص такую المفصلة لن سأطلق أجهزة لها هذا هو ك لماذا؟ المصالحة الخالصة المصالحة أر Herr Toheed is خالص there's no harm in it and the مفصلة which is خالص is شرك the second one is تزافم المصالحة فيها it is not it is not خالص هناك مصلاحة فيها هناك أيضاً مصلاحة فيها أيضاً هذه المساعدة يجب أن يضعوا إزامبور لها مثل جيهاد جيهاد مصلاحة ليست خالصة مصلاحة التي هي راجحة كيف هي it هناك مصلاحة فيها ماذا كلمة الله here العليا سيكون جيدة وذلك يجب أن تكون راجح المدينة الله سيكون جيدة المدينة الله سيكون جيدة لكن هناك مفتدة فيها حيث يجب أن يكون أبونا فعلاً سي失عوه مدينة الله سيكون جيدة ترى المدينة الله سيكون جيدة وراءة والبناء والبلاد سيكون جيدة والحياة سيكون جيدة كل هذا يستطيع لكن مفتدة المصلاحة التي هي راجحة مصلاحة ماذا مصلاحة هي راجحة لدينا مفتدة فيها لدينا مفتدة فيها مفتدة يتوكي نحن لدينا مفصدة. وانا مفصدة مفصدة أكثر من نفعها. لأنها مصرحة، مثل اللي قلت في القرآن، يسألونك عن الخمر والميسر. قل فيهما إثم كبير وملافع للناس وإثموهما أكبر من نفعهما. هذا خمر. هل هذا مصرحة نوات؟ أم مفصدة؟ ماذا أكثر؟ نمفصدة أكثر من ننا. مصرحة. وانا نقول مصرحة الراجعة. هل ما تخالص؟ وانا مفصدة أكثر من نفعهما. يقول أن مفصدة أكثر من نفعهما يسألون. فهي يقول. صحيح؟ وانا أخر الأشياء التي يستخدمها. هل ترى؟ لذا هناك مصرحة أكثر من نفعها. لكنها مصرحة. مصرحة تتعب here. وانا مفصدة ماذا؟ راجعة. مصرحة تتعب here. هل نحن نفعها؟ That's the second type. Are we all together? How many times did I say it was? Three. So we have مصرحة الراجعة. The third one is The مصرحة المفاصد here are stuck together. And there's no way to detach one from the other. It became The مصرحة المفاصد became what? It became تلازم المصرحة والمفاصد. They became both of them became what? Both of them became connected to one another and attached to one another. What is the And this is a بحث that requires a lot of discussions and examples. But what is the evidence for it? The evidence is قوره تعالى يسألونك عن الشهر الحرام ختال فيه. قل قتالوا فيه كبير وصدوا العزيز. So what is evidence for it? The evidence is قوره تعالى يسألونك ان تتعلوا فيه كبير وصدوا عن سبيل الله وكفر به والمسجد الحرام وإخراج أهل his family منه أكبر عند الله والفتنة أكبر من القتل. As I mentioned jihad. جاهد is the آية سورة البقرة آية 217 جاهد It's the bloodshed what's taking place what's western at الله سهب will fit in that the خفر is greater than the dying of the people. And و أخر أسلحة التي تتكلمها بها أحد الأجهزة لها هو أنها تتكلمها للمدينة و الأحلية التي تتكلمها للمدينة كيف تقع إلى نفسنا؟ هذا المشكل الذي نتحدث عنه هو دعوة كيف تقع إلى نفسنا؟ يوجد فينا إذا كانوا دعوة والذين يجبون دعوة والذين يوجدون في المدينة يتكلمون تتكلمون بماذا؟ يتكلمون لأحد who used to do major sins يقولون أنهم لا يتكلمون لأحد لا يتكلمون لأحد يخمسون يتكلمون منهم و دعوهم في البعثين لكنهم بحقهم يجعلون دعاء لهم كالذلك مشروعا هذا مؤمن لماذا؟ لأن الحجرة يجب أن تقوموا بشكل جمع قرارات قرارة منهم ورفعهم ليس قرارة المسلم من المذة؟ كانو قرارة جيدا هناك ماذا؟ فى هذا المذة الم시면 will learn from this principle is there is there a Maslaha here in boycotting this individual لأنه لماذا لديه معرفة المده؟ بعفش الرهيم I wanna weaken their evil what do I wanna do? I want to I wanna weaken their evil لا أريد أن أجلس ألوان ، لا أريد أن أردت الإنهاء ، فهذا هو موضوعي لكن إذا أعرف أن هذا لن يكون أصدقائي من هذا أعرف أنه ليست موضوع ، أعرف أنه لن يحدث ثم سأرى at the ruling year باستخدام المصالحة ومفاصد أن داعي سأرى it into this issue أيضاً أن يدع من هذا لا يخاطب الإنسان أنه ليست مدرس في ذلك الذي يستطيع أن يفهم أنك لا تتحدث مع الناس في ذلك الذي يفهم ومعهمهم لا يستطيع أن يفهم لماذا؟ لأنهم ستفهم إلى مدرس أكبر بأخبرهم ذلك الذي لا يستطيع أن يفهم العلمة العليمية بالطالب حيث أنه لست بمحادئة حديثوا الناس بما يعرفون أن تريدون أن يقدم الله ورسوله أخبرهم ذلك الذي يستطيع أن يفهم أن يريدونهم أن يكونوا أصدقائيين في الله وفي يوم التجمد عبد الله من المسعود لست بمحادئة في قومة حديثاً لم تبلغ وقولهم إلا كان لبعضهم فتنة عبد الله من المسعود وقلت أنك لا تتحدث مع الناس عن أماتهم التي لا يستطيع أن يفهم ونستطيع أن يفهم حتى أنه يصبح أكثر فتنة لهم لذا ستستطيع أن يضع المصالح ونمفأس it هل أنت مجدداً لكي يجب أن أقول هذا الآن وما يجب أن أقول ذلك؟ هل هذا ستبقى أشكة وحيراً وخفوزين وخفوزين إلى الناس أو هل هذا شيء لا يجب أن أقول أن الناس will know what to say and what not to say ستتعلم من هذا كما يجب أن أسأل هل تستطيع أن تذهب إلى مكان where محرمات and things that are wrong that are happening هل يمكنني أن أذهب to a Friday night club ويبقى في أجلها لتوقف الناس من يدخلها ويجب دعوة هنا هل يمكنني أن أفعلها؟ لا لا يمكنك أن تفعل ذلك درقاً للمثسدة المتوقعة لا، لا يمكنك أن تفعل ذلك بسبب المحرم that's going to happen when you stand there you may be from those who are going to go into there the music that you're going to hear the women who are not covered and they're dressed in the way that they're dressed you're going to see that and it's going to hit your heart all of that you're learning it through this you're learning it all through this قاعدة you're not allowed to do that now we're going to move on to the fourth قاعدة which is المعلق بالاستطاع that the obligation is connected to ability that there you need to know this fourth principle which is that obligation is connected to the ability the word الوجوب is it comes from the form of that is obligatory and you know the Arabic language the word واجبه it means when something drops الله says in the Qur'an when the camel's side falls to the side the way that they would slaughter the cow and so the camel would be by tying its leg one of its leg that when you cut its throat because it was standing on three and not four when it moves it will fall on its side so it will die quicker الله says in the ayah فايدا واجابت جلوبها when it falls on its right on its side so the word that uses واجابة a سقطة it falls on the ground so the word واجب in the language it means it means a سقوط and it has other meanings as well but that's one of its meanings but what does it mean in the شريعة it means it is what the شريعة requested for you to do in a forceful manner ما اطلبه الشارع وفعله it is that which the شريعة requested for you to do على وجه الإنزام in a what in a forceful in a forceful manner you have to do this you have to you have to do it the استطاعة is necessary for every action that a person does a person cannot come with something unless he has قدر على ability and the ability is two types the first one الاستطاعة في العلمي the ability in knowledge what does that mean it means the first one is that the person has the ability to comprehend what is being said to them the شريعة does not hold account for a person who is ignorant because they have lack of ability they haven't understood what was being said to them so the first one is الاستطاعة على العلم that the person he is able to comprehend and not source the textual evidences and what they are saying to him if he can't then he is what he is غير قدر he is unable to do this the second one is الاستطاعة على العمل that he is able to then do the action he has the knowledge he has the ruling with him he understood what Allah and His Messenger have said to him but the second part is missing from him which is الاستطاعة على العلم he is unable to do this action he is unable to do the action he is unable to come with this action or he is unable to stay away from this particular issue what's the evidence for this قاعدة the evidence for this قاعدة is the statement of Allah لا يُكَلِّفُ اللهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا that Allah does not burden an individual except in accordance to their ability so the person is commanded to do something or is commanded to stay away from something all based upon what? their ability the person is what? is told to come with something based on what? based on their ability also Allah says in another ayah وما جعل عليكم في الدين من حرج Allah did not make the religion haraj for you and haraj means what? Allah hasn't made it something you are unable to do الله تبارك والتعالى when he does and he wants you to do is what? is that which is in accordance to your ability and you all know the famous حديثة و الإمام in which الإمام البخاري and the Muslim both narrated in the صحيح and the wording that I am going to mention is the wording of إمام المسلم من حديث أبي هوريرة أبي هوريرة عبد رحمان بن وصخ الدوسي he said that the Prophet ﷺ has said دعوني ما تركتكم leave that is what I have left for you فإنما أهلك من كان قبلكم those who came before you were destroyed for what? the excessive questioning and they are asking too much واختلافهم على أن بيائهم and their opposition towards their prophets then the Prophet ﷺ said فإذا نهيتكم عن شيء and if I prevent you and prohibit you from something فشتنموه stay away from it وإذا أمرتكم but if I command you something بشيء إن فأتوا منهم أستطعتهم come with that which you are able from it so the scholars they say that to do a command is in accordance to what to do a command is in accordance to what to follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah is in accordance to your ability but that I and Hadi didn't say when it came to stay away from something it didn't say your ability it didn't say your ability it says فإذا نهيتكم عن شيء and if I prevent you and prohibit you from something فشتنموه stay away from it but then he said وإذا أمرتكم شيء but if I command you something فأتوا منهم أن تأتي with that which you are able to do تأتي with that which you are that which you are able to do also the Prophet ﷺ said in the hadith برأى منكم مكرن فليوا يوره بيدي one of whichever of you who sees evil he should stop it with what if you see evil what should you do stop it with your hand what about if you are not able to فإن لم يستطع فبليسان do it with your tongue فإن لم يستطع you can't do it with your tongue فبيقل بيديو in your heart وذلك أضعف الإيمان and that is the weakest of iman أبي سعيد للخذري رضي الله تعالى عنه who narrated this and it's found it's صحيح مسلم so the Prophet conditioned our ability to what our ability to command good and prohibit evil so what is it that we take from this قاعدة that applies with our دعوة what it applies with is of course that every individual from amongst us in this Ummah what is upon them and that which is obligatory on them to stand for in دعوة is بما يقدر عليه that which is able to do everyone from amongst us has to give دعوة in accordance to his ability that is if somebody else hasn't stood for it if somebody else hasn't stood up for this obligation then you have to come with that which you're able to do if somebody else stands up to do it then the obligation is what it's uplifted from you because that دعوة is فرضو كفاية the obligation of دعوة it's not an individual obligation it's a communal obligation it's a what it's a communal obligation it's not an individual obligation the benefit that we take from this قاعدة that applies to our دعوة among the understanding of دعوة is that the hustle of prohibiting evil is the hand and if you're not able to is your tongue and if you're not then able to it becomes your heart and that is the weakest of what that is the weakest of الإيمان so if the أهل الفضول the criminals and the wrongdoers they're not listening to the prohibition they're not coming with the commands that they are given then what the retaliation it should be done in accordance to the ability the people can actually repel them physically they can lead or somebody like that and they should do so and stop them the أهل الفضول and أهل الفسق أهل الفساد if they're not able to then they use what is needed what is next in line the same as with the داعي he does the same in his دعوة sometimes he's going to use his hand sometimes he's going to use his speech and sometimes he's going to what he's just going to have to dislike it in his heart and that is the weakest of إيمان also what we take from this حديث is if a people reside in a land for example that land may be the land of the disbelievers or it may be land of the innovators you stay in a land like that and you're unable to migrate you can't leave that land you don't have the ability to do so then what is obligatory is that which is in accordance to your ability also what we take from this حديث is if you're made a qawfi a person makes you a judge in a particular situation or you're made a judge a general judge your general qawfi and you're unable to fulfill the justice that you wanted to bring about you're unable to do it you can't do it هناك من يمنعك من ذلك there's somebody there who's not letting you do it فإنه يجب عليك then it's obligatory upon you to do what to do that which is according to your what's your ability do as much as according to your ability that you can وَلَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسَنْ إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا الله does not burn a slave more than that which they can carry also what we take from this حديث is that it's permissible يَجُوزُ لِتْ دُعَاتِ that it's permissible for the دُعَات تَأخيرُ البلاقي that they delay conveying a particular message and a particular matter from the matters of the religion because they are not able to do it at this particular moment that so they delay this information they withhold this information for a period of time until they find the ability to speak about it and they find the ability to address this particular issue the فتقاعدة the فتقاعدة that we speak about إن شاء الله يتعالى is أل أصل في العبادات التوقيف that the أصل in عبادات is what the أصل of عبادات is التوقيف what does توقيف mean أما التوقف what does it mean it means نص الشارع المتعلق ببعض الأمور that it means this particular issue it needs a textual evidence you're not allowed to go forward in this issue unless you have a textual evidence the دعات have to understand that when a matter is عبادة it's not permissible for you to go forward and to do this thing unless you have a textual evidence what is a textual evidence الكتاب و السنة you have the كتاب and the سنة that is allowing you to do this now this عبادة can be what any of the three places where عبادة occurs from which is what your speech you can't say something which is عبادة unless you have evidence for it you can't do something which is عبادة unless you have evidence for it you can't believe in a matter which is عبادة unless you have evidence for it all of those require what they require evidence و لذلك الشيخ الإسلام ابن تيمي it is مجموعة الفتاة or مفتاة الكبرى which is called it's called what الفتاة الكبرى the second volume page 93 that's the difference between مجموعة الفتاة and فتاة الكبرى are two different ones ابن تيمي says in his الفتاة الكبرى second volume page 93 he says فجماع رعيمة الدين أنه لا حرامة that the علماء of the religion unanimously agree upon أنه لا حرامة إلا ما حرمه الله و رسوله that there is no haram except that which Allah and his messenger make haram ولا دينة and there is no religion إلا ما شرعه الله و رسوله except that which Allah and his messenger are legislated and then there is no deen except through which channels through the Quran or the sunnah so anything which a person is bringing into the deen he has to bring it either from the Quran or the from the Quran or the from the Quran or the sunnah so this qa'idah that's what it means the religion stands on these two principles the religion stands on what these two fundamental principles which is أن نعبد الله that we worship Allah وحده لا شريك له that we worship Allah alone and we don't associate partners with him we single him in worship and the second one is أن نعبده that we worship Allah بما شرعه على لسان رسوله that we worship Allah in the way we worship Allah according to what he legislated on the Prophet ﷺ we don't worship him صلى الله عليه وسلم we don't worship Allah بالأهواء والبداع how our desires likes and how is in accordance to our whims no we don't we do it in accordance to what we do it in accordance to that which Allah legislated on the tongue of his messengers صلى الله عليه وسلم because who are we trying to worship Allah He will tell us how he wants us to do it He will tell us how he wants us how he wants us to do it the actions that are transmitted to us from the Prophet ﷺ is of two types actions that the Prophet ﷺ he done it in a particular form he did it in a صورة معايا in a particular way what do we mean by a particular way he restricted it to a particular timing for instance or he restricted it to a particular place for instance and he was getting closer to Allah by that then what is legislated for us is to follow the Prophet ﷺ in the way he did it if he did it in a particular timing we do it in a particular timing if he did it in a particular place we do it in a particular place he did it if he got closer to Allah by doing it we get closer to Allah by doing it as Allah سبحانه وتعالى سنين القرآن قد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة وحسنة لمن كان يرجو الله وليوم الآخر وذكر الله كثيرا في the Prophet ﷺ is a good example in the Prophet ﷺ is a good example for us the second type is the Prophet ﷺ did this action عليه الصلاة والسلام not because he was trying to get closer to Allah by it and that can be one of two types the second one can be one of what two types for example that which he did because it was جبلي and he was like this Allah created him like this the way he walked the way he talked the way he carried himself all of that it falls under that which he did وليس على which العبادة والقربة are we all together or that which he did which is the second that falls under that that which he did because of his culture عادة his people were like this and he did it because of his culture and the people he was from this one we say فلا يُشرعُ لِقْتِدَاءُ بِهِ فِي دَالِكِ it is not permissible for you to follow him in this one you're not allowed to follow him in it عليه الصلاة والسلام what's the evidence for this قاعدة the evidence for this قاعدة is the statement of Allah سبحانه وتعالى اتبعوا ما انزل إليكم من ربكم follow your load follow sorry اتبعوا ما انزل إليكم follow that which has been sent to you from your load ولا تتبعوا من دونه أولياء قليلا ما تذكرون and don't follow besides them أولياء allies little do the people take reminder and little do they ponder and contemplate also Allah says وانه هذا سراطي مستقيما فاتبعوا ولا تتبعوا السبولة فتفرق بكم عن سبيله ذاليكم والصاكم بهي لعلكم تتقول that this is my path the straight path follow it and do not follow the path that was set by others will divide you and it will scatter you into many other groups ذاليكم والصاكم بهي لعلكم تتقول also Allah says قل إن كنتم تحبون الله فتبعوني يحببكم الله ويغفل لكم ذنوبكم الله هو فور الرحيم say to them Muhammad and if they love Allah then let them follow the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم الله will love them and Allah will forgive them for their sins also عائشة رضي الله تعالى عنها وعن أبيها may Allah be pleased with her and her father that she said that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو رد anyone who introduces in our religion that which is not from it it will be rejected to that individual بغالي المصلم both narrated this hadith so all of this shows us what all of this shows us that the asal of ibadah is a what is a tawakuf is to withhold unless you find the textual evidence that supports it unless that you find textual evidence that supports it how does this principle apply to the fiqh of da'a it applies in the following way number one it is not permissible for any individual to legislate for the people a type of al-qar or a type of du'aa or for them to legislate for the people a type of righteous deeds which they have no textual evidence for they're not allowed to and that is what ابتداعون that is innovating in the religion the benefit that we take from this hadith also is ليس لأحد it is not permissible for anybody أن يتبع زلات العلماء that it's not permissible for anybody to follow the mistakes and the shortcomings of the scholars and the errors because why الله has forgiven the scholars for their mistakes we were commanded to follow who وؤمننا أن التبع ما أنزل إلينا we were commanded to follow that which was sent on to us من ربنا from our Lord and we were not commanded to follow allies besides other than Allah سبحانه وتعالى when their statement goes against the statement of Allah in his messenger also this قاعدة teaches us what ليس لأحد it is not permissible for anybody أن ينصب للناس شخصا that it's not permissible for any individual to take an individual and place that person as an icon for the people يدعو إلى طريقة تي that they call the people to this person's path ويوالي ويعادي عليها and you show love and hate based on that person ولا ينصب and it is also not permissible for you to place the statement of a person as an icon يوالي عليها you show allegiance based on that statement and you show hate and enmity based on that statement other than the statement of Allah in his messenger ومجتمع عليه الأمة and that which the ummah unanimously agreed upon بل هذا من فعلي أهل البداع rather doing this is from the action of the innovators who is the only one whose statement and actions we base love and hate on and that we force the people to follow الله in his messenger الله in his messenger anyone other than that his statement is either taken or is what it's rejected and the statement is looked at is it in line with the speech of Allah is it in line with the Quran if it is it's taken and if it's not it's rejected it's what it's rejected this قاعدة that's what it teaches us and then we learn that the dua'at we learn that the علماء they are what open for mistakes they are open to do errors and shortcomings and we don't make the people follow what there's a lot of the علماء they have a lot that come from the scholars ولي ذلك we have evil individuals who've made their deal and their religion based upon what bringing and gathering the statements of who the mistakes and the errors of the scholars and that's their whole religion so every time you say to them يا أخي why are you doing this for he will say إيمان فولان ابن فولان he's the one who believes this and then he says to you again that when you say why are you saying this I'm a why don't you do this he will say to you well guess what فولان ابن فولان didn't see this to be obligatory so I don't have to do it and then his whole religion is what تتبع it's following the رخص and it's following the زلات of the علماء people like that they are on a path where they become heretics and زنادقة the scholars they used to say من تتبع anybody who follows the رخص he gathers all of the evidences and the lean rulings the rulings which are soft he takes them and he takes all of the mistakes of the scholars what does he what happens to him تزندق he becomes a زنديق a heretic so داعي will stay away from all of that the sixth قاعدة in which the person needs to know and understand is لا واجب في الشريعة إلا بشرع or عك that there's nothing which is obligatory unless the شريعة makes it obligatory or unless a contract and a transaction makes it obligatory nothing is obligatory on a person unless the قرآن and the سنة make it obligatory or unless a what a transaction force this obligation to come about maybe this person made it obligatory on themselves or maybe and etc the obligations that are on the people are two types the first one is that which is obligatory on the person because Allah made it obligatory on them like the صلوات الخمس the five daily prayers fasting حج بالرول واريدة صلاة الأرحام keeping the ties of kinship opinion towards your parents this is obligation it came when you reached the age of taklif it started with you so you have to come with it there's a second type of obligation which is what مواجب على الناس برغبة مختياره if it came obligatory on you because you made it obligatory on yourself you chose it you either got yourself into a an act a transaction a معاملة a dealing buying or selling it maybe and etc now it becomes obligatory for you to have to follow to have to follow this what's the evidence for this قاعدة the evidence for this قاعدة is the statement of Allah أم لهم شركاء شراعوا لهم من الدين ما لم يأذن به الله ولولا كلمة الفصل لقضية بينهم وإن الظالمين لهم عذاب وانأليم الله says in this ayah أم لهم شراكاء شراعوا لهم من الدين ما لم يأذن به الله do they have legislators who are legislated for them saying that this is wajib when Allah and His Messenger haven't given permission for this in other words the ayah is telling us that the one who legislates and the one that makes something wajib and the one that makes something haram is who الله and His Messenger they're the ones who do that no one else that's what the ayah shows us that this is in whose hands because wajib is from the أحكام الشرعية أطلبية صحيح is it not from it it is from it who is the one who does the أحكام الشرعية who sets it الله و سبحانه وتعاله and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم how does this principle apply to our particular issue which is a دعوة the way that it applies to it is you're not allowed to force and oblige on people and make it mandatory on them that which is not mandatory on them that which is not obligatory on them for example you can't force the people to follow a particular sheikh and say you have to follow the sheikh or you can't make obligatory on a people and say you have to follow a particular madhab you can't force on the people to have to blind follow a particular individual you're not allowed to what to place for the people a person which they have to follow you don't have to you can't the question is who precede where's the evidence for that because this wajib is a what to make something obligatory it requires a textual evidence right قرآن سنة also this حليت is what or also this sorry قاعدة the way that it applies with دعوة is لا يجوز لأحد من الناس كائنة مكانة it is not permissible for any individual whoever they may be and يخالف ما تبين لهم من الشرعي it is not permissible for a person whoever they may be and however high they may be in their status to oppose that which has come clear to them from the شريعة لمجرد العقد الذي التزمه لماذها من او طريقة ونحوها based on an agreement that you had with somebody or something or a particular sheikh that you follow also it is not permissible for the what it is not permissible for the دعات to make obligatory on the people things that are not obligatory like some people what they say is when a person repents and he comes to repentance they say to him اقراج السدق من مالك you know what you have to do now that you've repented you have to give some of your money as a صدقة it's obligatory for you to do that or you have to cook food and you have to call all the people and they have to eat so it's obligatory for you to do this for your repentance to be accepted it is not permissible for you to do that to a person and to force them to do that because it requires what it requires evidence ولي ذلك a lot of people are forced to do things which there's no textual evidence for it نعم we'll stop there today إن شاء الله يتعالى we'll try to finish the other principles بإذن الله الكريم next on Monday sorry on Saturday we were meant to do today 11 but we did 6 إن شاء الله يتعالى we'll try to finish on Saturday بإذن الله الكريم anything which I've said that was wrong or incorrect is from me الشيطان and Allah and His message are free from it سبحانك الله و بحمدك أشدو الله إله إلا الله أستغفروا و قواته و بقواته أشدو الله إله إلا الله أستغفروا و قواته و بقواته و بقواته	{ "url":

UCOcVajqgk-TZWHq2uwv8YIw	VIDEO GAME SALES \|\| FLIPPING FOR PROFIT	Today we look at my recent video game sales! A lot more sales are coming in and I'm glad I get to share this with you all!	[ "selling on ebay", "ebay seller", "video game hunting", "how to sell on ebay", "what sells on ebay", "how to make money online", "full time reseller", "video games", "what to sell on ebay" ]	2022-04-19T16:00:14	2024-04-18T18:37:21	432	V6cdH0fe8y8	What's up everyone? Take down here. Welcome back to another video. Today I'm going to be talking about some of my most recent sales. Now most of my sales on eBay and Facebook Marketplace this past couple weeks has been mostly all video games. There was one hockey card that I was able to sell, but mostly everything was either a console or video game. So I'm extremely happy to share this with you. Let's get right into this. Up first we have a PlayStation 1 that was not working. The laser was not working. The wire was cut from a previous owner where it snapped on them or something. Now I did talk about this one in the last video, but I decided to actually put it in this video because I didn't put it in a video yet. This one here, I sold it for $40. This person planned on combining it with the one that he has that's not working and get one working PlayStation 1. Now for me, I could have waited and paid to get the part that I needed for this, which is a $30 parts and be able to sell it for more, but that's more of a headache for me. That's more that I had to put towards this. I only paid $30 for this PS1 and a ton of video games and they bought just the PS1 off me for $40. So right away that is $10 profits and I still have a pile of games left to sell to make even more profit. So I decided to just go ahead and sell it. If you thought he could get it working, that is all I needed to make this sale happen. Next up is nine PS3 games for $30. Now unfortunately I forgot to rate which video games they were, but most of the time for PS3 games I usually sell them for $5 each. This person decided to send me an offer of $30 for the nine games he wanted and I decided to take it at the end of the day. That's $30 in my pockets and that right there is all profits. Next up is a DS game called Animal Crossing that I was actually given for free. This game here ended up selling it for $30 on eBay. That was $30 after fees and shipping, which for me $30 is $30. That is awesome of a sale in my opinion. Next is nine DS games. These ones also were given to me for free and they all had their case, but they're really low-end DS games, no Mario, Legends of Zelda, or any other games that are worth a little bit more. So I only sold them for $20, but right there having those all given to me for free, the Animal Crossing and these other games, that was $50, that was all profits. Next up is for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Mario All-Stars. This game here I wanted to sell it for more, but I was able to sell it on eBay, which I'm glad just for the sale, is sold for $10 after fees and shipping. That to me, I could have sold it for $20 or $30, but I decided to sell it on eBay because it's been sitting for a while, so I decided to take the discounts. I still made $10 profit on this item, so to me that was still a win. Next up was two PS2 games that I originally was asking $5 each for. They are Lord of the Rings. I didn't put which Lord of the Rings one it was unfortunately in my notes here, and it was Harry Potter Quidditch. This one here, the buyer, decided to send me an offer of $8 for the pair. That's $4 each. I decided to take that because at the end of the day, me lowering their price, a dollar each game to make sales happen, especially when it's a $5 games that he's buying, I decided to absolutely take that, and he was more than happy with the game. Next up, I sold this on eBay as well. That is Tim Horton's Hockey Heroes for David Pasternak. It's basically a 3D card in a way. This one here, because Tim Horton's, this was for the 2021 series, the newest series that came out at the time I sold it. I sold it for $20 after fees and shipping, which is amazing for a card. I decided not to go ahead and collect this year. I decided to stop collecting, and in the future, my hockey shelves up here are gonna be removed, and I'm gonna expand my gaming and my other collections up here, and you guys will see that in future videos as well. So I decided when I seen this card, I just wanted to see what the set looked like, so I bought a couple of packs, got this card in it, and decided to sell it because it's something that I just didn't want, I just didn't want to collect this year. Not for me this year. Next up is Grantha Thotta San Andreas for the Xbox. This game here, after fees and shipping, I sold it for $10, which I think originally I was asking $20 for. I reduced my price to $15. Somebody offered me $10. I decided to take it. The reason for that is because it's been sitting for about four or five months, and I did at least get $10 out of it. I was gonna include it in some other lots, but I got $10 out of it, which is more than I probably would have if I would have included it in the lots or bundled it with other games, so I'm more than happy with this game. And the last game is one that I was actually surprised that sold for as much as it did, and that is for the PlayStation 2, and it's a game called Madagascar. This game here, I looked it up and it said sole comps were around $12. I decided to do an auction, starting bid at $5, but I put by it now for $12. Somebody within a couple hours decided just to pay, somebody within a couple hours decided just to pay the $12 for this item and purchased it, so it was even after fees and shipping that I'm still walked away with $12 for this item. A game that I was expecting to get for around $5 and sell it for around that. The buyer definitely, in my opinion, could have just bid $5, and they possibly could have won. I'm not sure if other people would have bided, but I, as a buyer and as a collector, if I see something and it start bids $12, I probably, sorry, if it's buy now for $12, but it start bids $5, I'd probably bid $5 first, see if other people are interested before I go and do the buy now, but hey, if they're okay with doing the buy now for $12, if they wanted it and they're okay with paying $12, that's more than fine. I made a sale and I'm extremely happy with that. So these are my most recent sales. Like I said, most of these were video games or at least consoles, but I did sell one hockey card, which doesn't happen often. A lot of my hockey cards off of eBay, I have pulled down a lot of my mystery packs and that, and I don't even know what I'm gonna do with them. I might just give them away because they're not even worth selling them, especially the $2 packs. When I was selling the $2 packs of hockey cards, which has 10 to 12 hockey cards in it, which is all base, selling them for $2 plus $2 shipping, even after fees and shipping, I walk away with $1. So when people were buying them, buying one pack at a time, it wasn't worth me going to the post office for $1 and being able to ship that and just have $1 profit. So I decided to just pull those from the store and now my focus is video games and comic books, which seem to be working very well. Future, there will be a lot more comic book sale videos. I'll do those separate from these videos. So you have more contents, but so they're not all mixed up. Those videos will have all of my comic book sales in them and a lot more are gonna be coming out. Right now, I think I have a total of four videos. One might be uploaded already on the channel and the rest will be out very, very soon. But I hope you guys enjoyed this series and I hope you guys enjoy me sharing about my reselling business, what I buy, what I sell things for and any of my sales and anything else that has to do with eBay or selling on Facebook Marketplace. I love sharing all of that with you guys and I hope you guys do as well. See you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6cdH0fe8y8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Apologies for the delays from the technical difficulties. It's already that kind of night. So I just want to start off by saying that as moderator, essential part of my job is to moderate, not just in the sense of managing the speaker queue, but in a deeper sense of being a moderating force to cool passions, the saucer that cools the hot tea, so to speak. Frankly, this is the part of the job that I take even more seriously than all the technical aspects of the rules and procedures, because it's the flaring of passions that are the greatest threats to our institutions of democracy, not the minutiae of whether we're following every last rule precisely to the letter of this rule book. Don't get me wrong, I'm a stickler for rules too. Town meeting is a deliberative legislative body doing the town's official business. When we enter debate, there is no cheering or booing, and certainly no intimidation. If those are the things that you came here for, then you're in the wrong place. This is not a public forum. I watched the video of the artificial turf forum that was held here last Tuesday. That is not how this meeting is going to be run. This is a legislative meeting with a strict agenda, and it is made available to be viewed by the public. Comments during debate that call into question the intentions or the motivations of others will not be tolerated. When I sit in this chair and the meeting is in session, I am the only person in this chamber with the authority to recognize individuals to speak. We've been doing it this way for 216 years in this town, and we're not going to stop tonight. Later tonight there will be debate about artificial turf fields, and as moderator, I take no position on that debate, but I definitely take a position on how we conduct that debate, how we conduct ourselves in this meeting tonight will have lasting effects on our democratic institutions and on our community, and our town meeting's ability to translate the will of the people of Arlington into decisions that affect the entire town. When you speak tonight, consider the lasting effects of your words on this institution and on the civic fabric of this town. Think about whether your words and actions reflect the better angels of our nature. Mr. Helmuth? Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Eric Helmuth, chair of the Select Board. Thank you for your wise words. I hope that we all heed them. It is moved that if all the business of the meeting is set forth in the warrant for the annual town meeting is not disposed of at this session, when the meeting adjourns, it adjourns to Wednesday, May 10, 2023, at 8 p.m. Move to second. All those in favor of if this meeting adjourns tonight convening at Wednesday, May 10, at 8 p.m., say yes. Yes. All those opposed? It is unanimous. Okay, we'll now take a quick test vote. So the test vote is vote yes if you support free speech for people you disagree with. And yes, your vote will, Canon will be used against you in the future by the people who disagree with you. Okay, let's close voting. Oh, very good. Okay. And now Mr. Helmuth will lead us in the National Anthem. Please rise. Okay, thank you. Do we have any announcements or resolutions tonight? Mr. Foskett? I believe we have a slide to show. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Charles Foskett, precinct 10. I would like to ask that Mr. Paul Buckley, a resident of Arlington, be allowed to make an announcement. And he is a resident of Arlington, correct? Yes, sir. Then he has the right to speak. Thank you, Mr. Moderator and members of the town meeting. I'm sorry, just name and address please. My name is Paul Buckley, 68 Beacon Street, precinct 5. I'm the president of Rotary in Arlington, and each year we put up flags. We call them flags for heroes. We moved them up to the water tower when the construction on the high school started. And we asked people to sponsor these flags for $40 each in which you can honor two people for each flag, which are your heroes. We use the money from these flags to give scholarships to students of Arlington High, Minuteman, and Arlington Catholic. The flags go up a little before Memorial Day, and they stay up through Flag Day, June 14th. It's quite a sight with Boston in the background up at the water tower. So if anybody's interested in sponsoring a flag for $40 through Arlington Rotary, it's arlingtonmarotary.com, and there's a flag for heroes section there. We appreciate your support. Thank you very much. Thank you. Mr. Maher, do you have an announcement? Thank you, Mr. Maher. John Maher, precinct 14. I appreciate your words, by the way, Mr. Maher. This is my 48th annual town meeting. I stand here to, as I've in years past, indicate that the Board of Directors of the Sims Memorial Fund here will be soliciting proposals for a grant or grants to non-profit entities whose principal function is to provide health related or health or wellness services to the residents of the Arlington community. The Sims Memorial Fund is the successor to the Sims Medical Use Non-Profit Corporation. The latter entity was established pursuant to the voluntary dissolution of Sims Health Services, which had operated the Sims Hospital in Arlington. Certain provisions of the dissolution agreement has established by the Supreme Judicial Court of the Commonwealth set aside funds remaining from the hospital dissolution to be administered by the corporation. Any inquiries regarding grant application materials may be obtained by contacting the chairperson of the corporation, me, by phone or by, I'll be during the breakdown stairs, or you could find me upstairs in the party room, I mean the satellite room. We have over the years given over a million dollars worth of grants to such entities as the Boys and Girls Club, Youth Consulting Center, School Department, Food Link, Arlington Housing Authority, Arlington Eats, Visiting Nursing Association and others. We average about a $50,000 grant per year. So please reach out to me in years past. Folks from town meeting have come up and it's actually generated new grant proposals. So please reach out to me. I'd be glad to talk to you. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Thank you, Mr. Mark. Do we have any other announcements or resolutions tonight? Mr. Jones. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Alan Jones, precinct 14. Two years ago, town meeting out of the football field overwhelmingly approved Beth Malofcik's article to request the Select Board to proclaim June 24th, Prince Hall Day to commemorate the talk that Prince Hall gave at African Lodge number one in Monotopy on June 24th, 1797. On June 21st, 2021, the Select Board made that proclamation to celebrate Prince Hall Day this year on Saturday, June 24th at 7 p.m. at the Arlington Masonic Temple up the street. The Arlington Historical Society, Arlington's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Division and Mystic Valley Lodge of Freemasons are hosting a talk by Rosemarie Smirzinski on the life and legacy of Prince Hall. And I hope you can all come to that. I'm going to try to talk Eric into doing the walk-in music. If you would like a souvenir memorial invitation, I have them up front. Thank you. Any other announcements or resolutions? Okay, we have a second to remove Article 3 from the table. All those in favor say yes. All those opposed, no. It is unanimous. Article 3 is now before us. We're now ready to receive any reports. Yes. Allen-Reedy, precinct 16 and chair of the Arlington Community Committee. We have a second to remove Article 3 from the table. All those in favor say yes. All those opposed, no. It is unanimous. Article 3 is now before us. We're now ready to receive any reports. All those in favor say yes. All those in favor say yes. All those opposed, no. It is unanimous. The precinct 16 and chair of the Arlington Permanent Town Building Committee. I move that the report of the building committee be received. We have a second to receive the report of the Permanent Town Building Committee. All those in favor say yes. All those opposed, it is received. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Permanent Town Building Committee was created by Town Meeting. This is your committee. It was created to oversee major construction renovation projects in the town of Arlington, school additions, police station, fire stations, and so on. We have nine members who you can see listed there. We meet twice a month throughout the year to work on all these projects. I would like to thank our long-time town meeting members, Bob Jefferson and John Marr. I'd also like to recognize Bill Hayner from the school committee who after many years of service is stepping down, and I'd like to welcome Paul Schlickman as the new designated representative from the school committee on this important committee. In the past year, we've had two major projects. Could you have the next slide, please? So the Central School, otherwise known as the Community Center for Arlington, this is about a $9 million project, extensive renovations to the interior. A lot of the renovations you don't see. They're behind the walls, HVAC systems, and so on. But also some significant upgrades to the exterior of the building. The renovations are on the ground floor, the first floor and the second floor. Some of you may remember a couple of years ago, a few years ago, the Arlington Center for the Arts moved into the third and fourth floor, and renovations were accomplished on those floors at that time. The facility supports a number of key departments in town, the Council on Aging, Health and Human Services, Veteran Services. And as I mentioned, it's about a $9 million project. At this point, the building has been occupied for close to a year now, but we're still in what we call the close out phase. We're trying to get just the last things done on this project, get all the last documents, make sure everything works, and welcome the public into the building as we have now for almost a year. Could we have the next slide, please? So I just thought I'd show you a couple of pictures. They are worth a thousand words. On the left side, you see the new front entrance, the new south front entrance on Maple Street. And on the right hand side, this is the main corridor on the first floor of the building. Next slide. Upper left, a very significantly improved kitchen facility. This is on the first floor. Those of you who may have gone into the building before renovations would probably remember the last one, which is about the size of a bathroom. This is really a full commercial kitchen. Lower left is the new library, which is down on the ground floor. And on the right hand side, you see the accessible lift, which allows people to move from the ground floor to the east entrance and up to the first floor. Next slide. So the second major project is the town, what we're calling the town yard and municipal services. So this is a large project. This is about a $47 million project. There are four historic buildings on the site, and we are building a very large and new administrative and maintenance facility on the site. There was extensive site work or has been and continues to be extensive site work at this particular location. When it's done, it will house the Department of Public Works, inspectional services, IT, and facilities departments. This is a difficult site. I could spend the rest of the evening or perhaps the rest of the year telling you about all of the issues with this site. Some of you history buffs may know that this was the site of a, I think it was a coal gasification plant. And as a result of these activities, the site has, there's a lot of hazardous materials there, chromium and so on. We punched, I don't know how many holes in the ground even before construction began to make sure we knew where the problems were. But still, every time a shovel went in the ground, it seems as though we found something new. Anything from a pipe that was connected to who knows where to a storage tank that was 50 feet long and contained who knows what. So this has been a very challenging project, continues to be a challenging project. The committee is doing everything it can to deliver this project to the town. I'd say relatively on time, it will be later than the original budget anticipated. And we anticipate delivering it as close to budget as possible, but we are very concerned that we're getting into a phase of construction where we're going to be renovating a couple of the oldest buildings on the site. And there are just things that you find that you could not have foreseen, even with a lot of what we call destructive testing before the project has begun. So we may be back to talk to you in the future, but we're going to do everything we can to stay within the budget of this project and give you a high quality site. So let's move on to some pictures. Next slide. So this is an overview of the site. The large building that you see sort of covered in blue in this picture is what we call Building E. This is the new administrative and maintenance facility that fronts on Grove Street. We've got a minute left. Okay. On the left-hand side, you see the historic buildings which we're calling A, B, C and D, and then the new salt shed. Next slide. Just some other views of this new administrative and maintenance facility, the front on Grove Street and then the large maintenance bays. Next slide. Upper left is the new IT server rooms when it was empty before it was occupied by the servers that moved over from the high school. Lower left, drilling some of those holes. Upper right, a large retaining wall being placed, and then lower right, the salt shed. And then one more slide. And here's the topping off ceremony which took place late last summer with Director of Public Works, Mike Rademacher, signing the final girder. So we appreciate your support so far for these projects, and we're going to do our best to get them done on time and within our budget. Thank you very much. Thank you. Do we have any other reports of committees? Seeing none, Ms. Deschler? Christine Deschler, Finance Committee Chair. I move that Article 3 be laid upon the table. Okay. We have a second to move Article 3 upon the table. All those in favor say yes. All those opposed? It is unanimously Article 44 is before us. Ms. Deschler, did you have anything since this is a Finance Committee, is there anything you want to say about the vote briefly? And then I'll invite Ms. Deschler to take the floor. Ms. Deschler, I move that Article 30 be laid upon the table. We have a second to lay Article 30 to 43, excluding the ones we've already disposed of upon the table. All those in favor say yes. All those opposed? It is unanimous. I move that Article 30 be laid upon the table briefly. And then I'll invite Mr. Ruderman up to introduce the particulars. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Christine Deschler, Chair of the Finance Committee. You will see in the Finance Committee report, Article 44, we are recommending that an appropriation in the amount of $8,932,916 be approved for the Minuteman Regional District. And I will turn it over now to Mr. Ruderman to introduce our guest tonight. Thank you. And as Mr. Ruderman walks up to the podium, can we clear and open the speaker cue please so everyone can start from a clean slate? Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Deschler. And thank you, Mr. Moderator. Michael Ruderman, Page 6-9. I am also Arlington's representative to the Minuteman School Committee. If you're not familiar with it, we are a nine town regional school committee, excuse me, nine town regional school district. Each of the towns appoints one person to serve on the school committee through its select board or board of selectmen. And I'm proud to have been Arlington's representative these past three years. The report that contains the details in the budget presentation will be displayed for you here tonight. It's also been uploaded to the town's webpage for reports and should be linked to the annotated warrant. We're trying to save some money rather than printing, you know, 1,700, 1,800, maybe 2,000 coffees of it to distribute to all the town meeting members in all the member towns. But we'll follow along right here on the screens. It is my privilege tonight to introduce you for the first time to our new superintendent, new in the sense of never having been before this meeting before, but new in terms of being in her first year of service, Dr. Kathleen Dawson. We hired her to start the beginning of this school year. The school committee was uniformly impressed with her credentials and her experiences. She did her undergraduate work at University of Wisconsin, masters at the Harvard School of Education, and her doctors from the University of Pennsylvania. Her most recent superintendency experience comes from North Carolina, but coming back to Massachusetts is something about homecoming for her as she comes back to her roots. She'll give the initial presentation. I'll be available to answer questions. The two of us will be assisted by the inestimable budget director, Ms. Nikki Andrade, who is also here with us tonight. I'm sure we'll be able to answer among the three of us any questions that you may have. With that, I'm going to turn over to Dr. Kathleen Dawson. The clock is actually not... I can see the clock, but the rest of you cannot for some reason, and so we're not going to hold up the meeting on that detail, but I am tracking the time. Dr. Dawson, welcome to the meeting. If you need additional time, please request it in advance, and we can ask the meeting. Okay. Good evening, Mr. Moderator. Thank you so much, and Mr. Ruderman, thank you so much for your kind welcome. Good evening, everyone again. My name is Dr. Kathleen Dawson, and I am the superintendent of Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical School District, and tonight we are here to present a high-level overview of the summary of the fiscal year 2024 budget recommendation for your approval. Next slide. Our budget is grounded in improving teaching and learning for all our students to support us in accomplishing these goals. Minuteman's FY24 operating and capital budget request overall is up 4.5% compared to that of FY23 budget. And on the next slide, here are Minuteman's operating expenses, which are up approximately 6%, operating capital consistent at 0.21%, and the capital building project debt is slightly lower in FY24 than in FY23, and this is an important breakout as seven of our nine member towns voted a debt exclusion on the school building project. And on the next slide, you will see our key objectives and drivers of our FY24 budget. And following on the next slide, the total preliminary assessment for Arlington, including the building project debt service that is excluded from prop 2.5, is approximately $8.9 million. The preliminary assessment for Arlington without the building project debt is approximately $7.1 million. And on the next slide, we are here to show you the comparison of changes in enrollment to the changes in revenue. With a decrease in out-of-district enrollment comes a decrease in revenue from non-member tuition and non-member capital fee, which is set by the state. And on the next slide, you can see from last year to this year the changes in the components of the assessment. Minuteman uses the four-year rolling average of enrollment to determine assessments as noted in the regional agreement. Arlington's four-year rolling average has increased by 15.7% compared to the total assessment increasing of 12.4%. And on the next slide here, we show the percent change in four-year rolling average of enrollment with the percent change in assessment for all our member towns for your review. And it is important to note that the four-year rolling average will eventually even out over the next few years as enrollment becomes more typical of full freshman classes of member towns. So as presented, it is the shifts in enrollment that are increasing the assessments for each member town. The increase is paying for more of your students to have access to a choice in the type and quality of career technical education. The increase in enrollment on the next slide is requiring three additional full-time teachers. And being cautious of our budget and assessments impact on our member towns, Minuteman is not requesting funding for all the positions that we would need to provide the standard of service that we would need to meet our expectations. We, of course, as we do always, teachers step up and we make sure that all of our needs are met. But at bare minimum, we do need three additional full-time teachers. And on the next slide, we know that it's difficult for you to read, but we did want to just share with you that we do not solely rely on our member towns to fund all the district's needs. We work diligently to apply for and receive grant funding. And as you can see, for FY23, we received an additional $3 million to support our initiatives. And another major driver is OPEB, right? The School Committee's responsibility for maintaining the funding for other post-employment benefit liability. This requires a long-term strategy was recommended by our OPEB Advisory Committee. And currently, the fund balance is slightly over $400,000 and we do need to drastically increase our yearly contribution if we are to meet the liability amount of over $20 million. And on the next slide, you'll see that the strategy is to allocate the amount that is currently being allocated to the ESCO lease toward the OPEB payment after the ESCO lease payment ends in FY25. So on the next slide here, you will see the overall budget summary of our operating and capital budget and the breakouts of operating and capital budget request increase of 4.5%. And lastly, our overall budget request in comparison to FY23 is less than the prior year's requests in all categories. So in closing, we return to our values, our students and their learning. We recommend the approval of the FY24 budget that will support the needs of our students and their teachers. And we thank you very much for the continued support from Arlington. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Thank you, Dr. Dawson. Let's switch over to the speaker queue. And let's skip to Ms. Mandel, who I don't believe we've heard from yet. Mona Mandel, precinct nine. Firstly, warm welcome to you, Dr. Dawson. This is your first town meeting for Arlington and on behalf of this town body, we welcome you. And I also wanted to welcome some parents who are also here from the community to hear what you have to share about your vision today. Arlingtonians are very passionate about Minuteman, and so last night at 10 o'clock, I had a couple of... I'm not talking to some Arlington parents, but there were some recent developments that have been happening. So last night at 10 o'clock, I put in a letter to talk about some of this and also some budgetary questions that came out of that. So I submitted the letter on behalf of the group, but I will not be talking about the contents of that. I think everyone in this town hall has... We don't need to talk about what we're not going to talk about. We'll talk about what we should talk about under the budget. Right, so that's what I'm saying. I'm going to keep it to the budget only section. That's implicit, yeah. Yes. So one of the things as a town, a new superintendent, I was really glad to see that you were doing stakeholder meetings and one of them was also an Arlington. So I was wondering if you had also been a driver for this budget that you have presented to us, like the feedback that you've gotten from stakeholder communities. The stakeholder feedback, I would say yes in the sense that I heard from our families the need for continued growth and improvement of our programs and the continued improvement of teaching and learning. So yes. Okay. Was part of the feedback that there needed to be any changes in the administrative staff based on the stakeholder feedback sessions that you had? Because you're new, you're trying to understand the culture. So I was wondering is that something that you also heard that there was concerns about the administrative department in Minuteman. So as it's related. I have a little interjection for a second. Is this a budget question? Okay. All right. Thank you. I also saw thank you very much by the way I did ask you for enrollment numbers and I did ask you pretty late. So I asked you on Saturday and I really appreciate you sharing that information with me. In the past I think we had the breakdown of the numbers of who were coming in at a town level and I think as the town meeting body we all really liked that. I think that you shared that as a percentage. So one of the things I wanted to know was as you were presenting this to the town select board budget to the finance committee as well as the select board did you anticipate some of the changes that would be happening that would impact the budget where you would need to maybe do an outreach to recruit new staff? I'm not clear on what you're asking. Okay. So what I was trying to understand is the elephant in the room is Elephants are not in scope. So anyway do you have any budget for looking for a new key administrator as a principal that is part of this budget already? So the FY24 budget request meets the needs of all of the staffing needs that we need. So it's all in the budget. Okay. Which includes the search process as well? It has in the budget everything we need for meeting all of our staffing needs. One of the drivers that you mentioned was the teacher's contract, right? So Arlingtonians we love our teachers and I think one of the things from a recent meeting as you heard there have been some concerns and so with the no vote confidence and so I was wondering do you anticipate any issues of the ability to do negotiation with the teacher's union with recent developments that impacts the budget? Mr. Ruderman do you have an answer to that question? Thank you Mr. Moderator Michael Ruderman Minuteman school committee. I was a member of the negotiation subcommittee. Two other school committee members were with me officers of the Minuteman faculty association represented their members. I believe we concluded our contract negotiations a little more than a month ago. We came to agreement the lawyers are writing up the memorandum of understanding right now. So as far as the collective bargaining agreement for the next three years that is as they say done and dusted. You have about 30 seconds. I apologize that the timer is not visible. I do have some questions about the enrollment members. Can you speak a little bit to the wait list that Arlington students have? I think they're safe. So is there and are they going to be rejected or are they is there any consideration or is it too early if you could speak to that? It would be too early at this time as we are still accepting making offers as students that they may be declining but as of currently 46 have accepted from Arlington and so far we do have six on the wait list but as seats open up most often fill up all of the seats so that we aim to have zero on the wait list but I cannot guarantee that. This year as member towns have increased their enrollments each year. We're at time. Thank you. Thank you for the tour around the borders at scope. We'll take Mr. Kepline next. Thank you Mr. Moderator Mark Kepline, Precinct 9. I want to thank you for coming. At previous town meetings this has been an opportunity for a man to really do a pitch and familiarize people with the services and the great work you do and the academics and practical education you give. I'd wish to see some of that but I did have a question on education and I'm wondering if you are working with the Arlington Public Schools to maybe figure out the boundaries between the tech education that you do and maybe what the high school here could do and if there's any sort of shift that we might anticipate. Sorry that's not budget but it may affect future budgets. Future budgets are well I'll give some latitude here. I guess I'll allow the question and answer within the scope of does the current budget set up responsibly for future budgets on that point? So in regards to that comment our current budget does set us up for responsible future budgets and I would say that we're always open to partnering and collaborating with our sending member town schools and so we look forward to collaborating with all of Arlington schools and sharing what we do with programs and also allowing Arlington students to have access to experience what we have in regards to tours. I know that we just hosted a number of classes from Arlington for different events so there's that type of collaboration but specifically to what you're asking about the tech and the high school we're always open for partnerships. Okay thank you. And now to budgets so the student enrollments up 10% and the operating expenses are up 27 or 8% is that right? And I'm wondering what's the source of the operating budget increase? Did you want to I'm trying to specify like as far as the operating increase our operating budget most of it is taken up by teacher salaries right and two thirds of our about give or take an estimate two third of our staffing are on the top salary schedule so there's some of that takes up a lot of the operating cost so if Nicky would like to come up our business manager want to elaborate more on that. Peter introduce your name and role or title? Nicky andrade business manager. As Dr. Dawson was saying I will just elaborate further some of our major drivers are the teachers contract that was being negotiated in addition to the new teachers that we needed to based on the growing enrollment higher as well as inflation. We're all suffering from inflation. Is hitting everybody's pockets it's certainly for our students to be able to continue with the state of art equipment they certainly have to have the supplies and materials in able to do all the different programs so that's certainly for our drivers as well not only affecting all of our personal pockets but the vocational space in particular. Consumable costs. Absolutely. One last question is what sort of costs are you looking at for recruitment and headhunter fees or a search committee to find replacement teachers and employees that are eligible? So as stated earlier we have our internal team that works on recruitment and retention for any and all vacancies that is covered within the budget. So they'll do a national search themselves? Well we post nationally as well as internally for some vacancies and we do outreach with our college partners for any number of our vacancies that we have. And you'll expect to fill these positions soon? Yes. Okay. All right thank you. Thank you Mr. Kepline. We'll take Mr. Hamlin next. Guillermo Hamlin, precinct 14 a move to terminate the debate. We have a motion to terminate the debate and we have a second. All those in favor of terminating the debate on article 44 say yes? Yes. All those opposed? No. The noes have it. It's not two thirds anyway. Okay let's take Ms. Karmie next. Hi Gina Karmie precinct 16. I just want to know are there any pending lawsuits or liabilities that the school is facing? Are there any pending lawsuits or liabilities that the school is facing? And the, can you explain to me the relevance to the budget? I'm asking you to explain to me the relevance of the budget. Well it would affect the budget. The cost associated has that been considered in the construction of the budget? Yes. Dr. Dawson. So the school district is not a party to any active litigation as we speak that I'm aware of and legal counsel has always advised me not to discuss publicly any pending or active litigation cases. Okay. Thank you. Let's say Mrs. Orfanos and let's keep the chatter down a bit. Name and precinct please. Michelle Orfanos precinct 13. Good evening. Michelle Orfanos precinct 13. Good evening. As I was looking into the financial impact recruitment and retention has on school budgets I came across this quote there are no great schools without great teachers with that being said I was very concerned when on May 1st after previous grievance filing the entire faculty at Minimann High School held a unanimous vote of no confidence in the superintendent myself and many other parents It's not a large leap to get to the budget with this. If you can tie this, if you can make the case to me that this is related to the budget I'm getting there. Many other parents wonder what impact this would have on the school you have to tie it directly. If any time you said you didn't want to have passionate debate if any time in culture we needed open passionate debate it's today. Continue. Myself and many other parents wonder what impact financially this would have on the school and more importantly the students. In speaking with Michael Ruderman of the school committee we discussed financial impacts of the superintendent's decision not to renew the principal's contract seeing that it's already led to four resignations Mr. Ruderman acknowledged that this was a historic vote and has never happened in Minimann's history. What would be the financial consequences what will be the financial consequences how will the school manage the inevitable upcoming faculty resignations Mr. Ruderman said four words they will be replaced Focusing solely on the financial aspects replacing a teacher requires significant resources and personnel time although costs within a district or school or area substantially the most significant costs are those associated with separation recruiting and new hiring teachers and training replacements. The superintendent has noted that there are already eight full time positions that need to be filled nine if you go ahead with the principal. According to the Society of Human Resource Management SHRM employees estimate the total cost of new hiring employees can be three to four times the position salary employee news said that to replace the cost of an employee a teacher is 33% of the annual salary that ties in with the budget it's not a big leap work institute 2017 retention report stated the replacement cost for teachers is possibly annually 15,000 per person on a median salary of 45,000 a year indeed the cost of vacancies is critical I wonder if you truly thought about and are aware of the negative impact these vacancies are going to generate. Research also shows teacher turnout consistently undermines student achievement in core academic subjects and the student turnover also negatively impacts the school's culture it's my understanding that morale is at an all time low as parents can rescind their acceptance 46 people you said accepted accepted with the 46 students that you accepted 46 from Arlington yes. Parents can rescind the acceptance at any time how does the today's student led and all the negative social media and news surrounding man affect new student enrollment and employees this is beyond there will be order in this chamber Mrs. Orphanos. I'm going to answer your question how is it possible that 100% of the faculty voting no confidence doesn't impact staff retention or recruitment Mrs. Orphanos. She doesn't have to answer the question because I'm ruling it out of scope with all the recent events there are far too many questions that need to be addressed before Arlington considers voting on this budget we cannot in good conscience vote to allocate good money after bad policy do you have anything to say to anything I've said Mrs. Orphanos. Your questions will be directed at the chair yes I allow the conversations to get a little conversational not going to interrupt me no I allow the back and forth to be a big conversational when it's more efficient for the meeting as an optimization for all of our time but not when it's going to be this level of tension between the interactions I am here to mediate and moderate the discussion so as stated the principal stated the superintendent stated they value students all the students and their learning I believe the students have been through a lot through three years and they've lost enough educational time I really hope you can reconsider what you're doing with saving Mr. Tosti. I put together last week a nice chart went on to the department of education database and put it all together all the vocational schools and their per student costs unfortunately due to my technical incompetence I wasn't able to get it in the queue so you people couldn't see it up there anyway but I'm going to say something that most of you already know and I think the superintendent knows also Minuteman besides your great reputation is the most expensive vocational school in the state the spending this is for fiscal 22 was over $34,000 per student other vocational school in the state that was in the 30s was greater warrants at 31 almost all the others were down in the $24,000 to $26,000 a year category not only does Arlington want a great school but we need an affordable school too are there things and I'm not blaming you for this this has been the case for years and years Minuteman can do to help bring down this cost so for the taxpayers of the town of Arlington and our budgets and thank you thank you moderator it is true that we are one of the highest per pupil and as previously shared please understand that we are also one of the highest districts, the highest paying districts and with the two-third of almost on average two-third of our staff being on the top step of the salary schedule it does eat up most of our operating budget and just kind of breaking that down a little bit the salaries are 47.4% of the operating a capital budget employee benefits are 12.3% totaling 59.7% and then of course capital is 22.7% our total operating budget the salaries are 61.2% and employee benefits 15.8 which totals 77% of our operating budget that coupled with the needs of our students and the funding that is required to meet the needs of our students unfortunately that is part of why our per pupil expenditure is as high as it is I think that considering also that we have such a high percentage of our veteran teachers the only way that I can see at this point of lowering assessments is as we bring in new teachers if their salaries are lower that could be a possibility but we truly value our teachers and they're worth every penny that they're paid unfortunately at this time we do not have a plan as far as what you're looking for I wish I had the right answer for you but considering 77% is toward salaries it's hard to say but that's why we do go for grants as much as we can so we're not asking for more than we have to great thank you and let's take Ms. Hyman next as many in this body know I'm fairly critical of Minuteman because of the per student cost sorry as many of you know I'm very critical of Minuteman because of the per student cost I do have a question about that per student cost are all programs at Minuteman the same cost per student so for instance per student in robotics because of the lab expenditures other than the teaching which we know you can't control those salaries need the same the rest of the budget the same as somebody let's say who is in an auto shop I'm going to ask Ms. Andrea to correct me if I'm wrong but I would say it is not equal because each program has different needs and the cost to run each program varies so it is not equal it's equitable it's based on what is needed and the teachers put in their department budget requests each year for the following you know fiscal year based on the needs to run the program and because of that and because of the impact on your budget do you have an assessment of the students who apply what their area of program is their interest in area of program is and how that then translates into the acceptance rates and the wait list and who whether the more expensive programs are getting filled whether the less expensive whether programs where there might be some comparable program at Arlington high school versus students that are interested in age that where there is no comparable program at Arlington high school do you have any sort of assessment like that or students coming into Minuteman I can't speak of Arlington high school but for students coming into Minuteman we do not accept them based upon what they're interested in because part of our philosophy is that our students come in as freshmen and we allow them to explore the options for them to choose at that time now a number of them do have interest programs but as they explore it may change and the only time that we consider what they would prefer is if there is a slot available and if a student wants to change after they've selected already but that doesn't impact our budget because you've told me that there is a difference in the cost of the programs and I also know that previous Minuteman selection criteria for students were biased towards students that were higher achieving in a traditional education setting which is not always aligned with those that are seeking a vocational setting I would wonder if there could be some focus on that analysis so that we make sure that this town's commitment to financially supporting our vocational pathway truly is a vocational pathway for students that might not see a pathway through our main public high school and I just to abbreviate it in the past it seems like students that might have been going towards computer programming or software design had an edge up under the Minuteman selection criteria and as we know from the state law the mandate of vocational schools is to provide the opportunity for high school to internship to career rather than the traditional college pathway and I would just ask as you look at the budget and you look at the expenditures on the programs that we make sure that we are fulfilling our commitment to those students great thank you Ms. Hyam Mr. Schlickman? Good evening Paul Schlickman I served as a member of the Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical School Committee from 1997 to 2001 How many towns are required to approve your budget? Two thirds Two thirds of nine towns Six out of nine Have you achieved that at this point? Yes we have I suggest we approve it Now one thing we have to note is that back in the day when I was a member of the Minuteman School Committee a third of the students were in district a third of them came under a program called Chapter 74 which was a full tuition and a third of them came in school choice $5,000 a pupil so with a third of the member town enrollment and a third of the member town assessment we were subsidizing about $8,000 per student by a third of all the added district students coming in Now we built a new high school it is now suddenly very attractive MSBA came along and said you have to have a smaller school because you have a smaller demographic a couple of the problematic towns got out of the district and we used the opportunity of the new school Well let's not cast aspersions on other towns and we used the opportunity to change the regional agreement so we have a weighted vote so our influence is higher but before us today is one thing and one thing only do we approve the budget amount recommended by the finance committee those are the four corners of the scope do we approve it yes or no losing the member town of the non-member district students was funded in such a way that you had sort of a reserve fund that came and followed back and sort of operates in many ways like some of our revolving funds and losing that income is going to have a temporary blip and it's going to be a bouncy couple of years because for the first time minute man has a wait list we never had before we were under enrolled we were drastically under enrolled at one point this is a good school and within the scope of what we do we should approve this budget now I also remind you what our role is what the school committee's role is in the superintendent's role under the education reform act of 1993 superintendent has a total discretion on personnel decisions period it's not our role to do that it's our role to vote the budget please vote the budget thank you mr. Slickman we'll take mr. Greenspawn next and as mr. Greenspawn comes up I just want to clarify a point that mr. Slickman made the four corners scope implies that it is a rectangle embedded in two dimensional space euclidean space and we should not make those assumptions mr. Greenspawn given my role as a physicist I should debate this I won't Andy Greenspawn precinct five thank you mr. moderator I move to determine a debate on this article that was so close but you made a comment before you moved the question so I do not recognize the motion I'm sorry the same thing happened to me once I made a brief joke it was maybe a little bit funnier than that and I still couldn't terminate the debate so we'll take mr. Grimucci next oh I'm sorry I didn't see mr. Logan I'm sorry sorry about that the cue jumped on me I'd like to introduce a Arlington resident who would like to speak their name is Claudia Danette you said she's a resident of Arlington she has the right to speak is there a microphone in the floating mic in the balcony that she can use thank you everybody and thank you William Logan for introducing me you probably have to hold it closer to your voice can you hear me now can we adjust the gain on the mic maybe hello can I speak up and have it really close to your mouth can you hear me do you have a green or red microphone I think we can adjust it down here oh she's coming down mr. moderator we've had trouble hearing you up here all evening and other speakers as well is that something we can adjust I don't know where she went though is it better if I speak like this Claudia Danette precinct number nine I'm here as I'm a parent currently of a student we were really surprised to hear the recent developments so this have to do with budget and one of the things that we were discussing here is projecting numbers of students entering Minutemen all I can say is from my personal experience and from I know many others I speak to this has been the amazing word that we receive about the culture at Minutemen and how students who have traveled in other environments were thriving here so that's how the process really works when students come because other parents were talking about how things were working so well how the culture was so amazing to promote the best in our kids so when we're discussing I think we are not ready to know exactly the numbers we can project at this point the students could decide to pull off from incoming when I entered parents advise me to go to the school they were right when I talked to other parents of students looking for schools I advised them to go there but I was going based on my experience of these two years and the previous experience that I heard of so we are not sure how that's going to look like when all the students a ton of parents and unanimous vote of the teacher union is not happy with what is happening now we think that Mr. Clement was really we really need to keep this within the scope of the project so basically I feel that we are not ready to really understand the budget when we are not sure what's going to happen how many teachers will need to be replaced how the culture will change I think I will leave it at that but I make a strong point here because basically I'm talking about feelings but it's the feelings that create those data that data and numbers how many students and who are coming into this school thank you we'll take Mr. Grinucci next okay we have a most terminated debate we have a second all those in favor of terminating debate on article 44 say yes all those opposed it is terminated let's now move to the next slide let me just summarize that you can vote yes to appropriate $8,932,916 for the town's share of the operating and maintenance costs of the Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical High School district budget to be expended under the direction of the Minuteman Regional Vocational High School committee that's what we're voting on if you do not approve of that appropriation you can vote no so let's open voting now for article 44 voting is now open okay let's close voting and the budget passes 203 in the affirmative 20 in the negative and seven abstentions so it is now Mr. Ruderman just wanted to say thank you to the members of the meeting thank you to the finance committee in particular our liaison Annie LeCourt who's looked at a lot of Minuteman budgets thank you all very much you don't get to keep that money Mr. Ruderman we have a strict 10 minute break and we'll start at 940 thank you okay we're gonna get started now we're making some adjustments to the audio in the balcony which will hopefully help and as we're getting settled here I just wanted to point out that I rescind my criticism of Mr. Slickman's comment I spoke with finance committee and budgets usually do come in the form literally of rectangles in the form of tables so literally does have four corners so now Ms. Deschler so now we're calling this meeting back to order Mr. moderator I move that article 12 be taken from the table okay we have a motion to take article 12 from the table and we have a second this is an article that was previously postponed all those in favor say yes all those opposed article 12 is now removed from the table all right let's settle down let's settle down let's say Mr. Helmet did you have any introduction you wanted to give okay please oh and FIA we'll start the speaker queue after Mr. Helmet's comments just so we don't interrupt that they're gonna work on it live so thank you for that feedback Eric Helmet chair of the select board the select board unanimously and strongly urges no action on article 12 I'm just gonna briefly state our principal reasons there's gonna be a lot of discussion and debate as there should be but I think it's important to know that the town already has balanced regulatory and policy bodies that deal with this that address the health the environmental concerns and the recreational needs of our playing fields in our visual turf that's the conservation commission the board of health parks and recreation park and recreation commission and the town manager and the vast professional staff that we have and we believe that this is the and that it represents the different perspectives and different priorities that we have in this debate the board also believes that this is the hazards of artificial turf really important the science in this is developing in our judgment although we are not scientists but listening to the debate there's not the kind of broad consensus yet at least I think it's important to know that this is a and we believe that therefore the best policy is instead of a moratorium which we feel is not the right tool for this nuanced question would be a site by site analysis done by the bodies that we already have that look hard at the science look hard at the hazards and look hard at the needs and make a determination about whether a site is appropriate whether mitigation can be put into place what the acceptable standards would be as the science continues to evolve and the moratorium doesn't really facilitate that so we feel like it's not the right tool we trust the current process we trust our town manager and our next one to be fair to put together bodies that would study this fairly and consider all the angles so for that reason we urge no action on article 12 thank you Mr. moderator thank you Mr. Helmuth let's now clear and open the speaker queue and show that we're good and there it is okay we have several motions that were submitted in advance and we have a specific order in which we will go through them which was previously shared so I'll now invite Ms. Milovchuk to introduce her substitute motion to lead us off we have more motions on this article than some town meetings have articles in their warrants by the way thank you Mr. moderator may I have my slides please for my presentation yeah this is the substitute motion there was a slide deck thank you Beth Milovchuk town meeting member precinct nine next slide please the Milovchuk substitute motion would establish a study committee pause any new artificial turf until a report is submitted no later than spring 2025 but maybe sooner next slide please crumb rubber is dangerous it contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons heavy metals volatile organic compounds plasticizers carbon black styrene neurotoxins carcinogens and many of the newer natural infill materials including alfalfil contain toxins next slide please there is PFAS in plastic glass in 2019 public employees for environmental responsibility discovered that artificial turf contains polyfloral alcohol substances PFAS the forever chemicals the one you don't want any exposure to PFAS are persistent they bioaccumulate they're toxic all artificial turf that have been studied have PFAS all of them next slide please plastic turf causes local plastic pollution you can see it over on the catholic field on summer street a 20 ton plastic field two acres sheds 480 pounds of microplastics each year into our mill brook into the food chain these plastic particles don't degrade they accumulate in the environment soil water and in your next fish filet or lobster roll next slide please PFAS are toxic forever chemicals they interfere with the body's natural hormones they are hormone disruptors they increase cancer risk they reduce fetal growth they do other deleterious they have other deleterious influences on the developing child's body next slide please there is no safe level of PFAS the EPA as recently as March 2003 proposed parts per trillion for PFAS four parts per trillion that's equivalent to a drop of water in an Olympic size swimming pool there is no dose below which PFAS is considered safe next slide please PFAS leaches off artificial turf fields into water from the wetlands streams rivers and oceans into the food chain the surrounding area quickly becomes contaminated of these sports fields in Martha's venue the study showed that 12 points per trillion of PFAS leaches off of a new field next slide please artificial turf contributes to climate change natural grass absorbs CO2 and releases oxygen artificial turf does the opposite it releases CO2 methane and other chemicals the manufacturing installation service and disposal of a two acre artificial turf field generates a total over its lifetime 55.6 metric tons of CO2 we won't get to mit zero with that next slide please artificial turf sheds microplastics 480 pounds a year next slide please artificial turf is not recycled in the U.S. not recycled the Pennsylvania rematch recycling facility has not been built yet it is being fined by the state of Pennsylvania because there is no stockpiling old fields Exxon's Texas advanced recycling plant that we've heard about uses pyrolysis considered incineration by the EPA it releases PFAS and dioxin up the smokestack and into our air there is no recycling of artificial turf there's repurposing there is no recycling next slide please artificial turf is a disposal nightmare this is the site of Pennsylvania the stockpiling roles have discarded plastic turf it's not recyclable it lasts forever the peach this is the third site that these may be maybe more where these PFAS are leaching out they leach out where it's produced where it's installed and then where it gets disposed and leaching toxins into the environment next slide please PFAS is the newest bestis EPA's new maximum contaminant level will open the door to huge liabilities states are making even more stringent maximal contaminant levels class action suits for contaminated water abound next slide please states are trying to ban artificial turf bills are pending in California Massachusetts Vermont and Connecticut next slide please vote yes on the Milovchik substitute motion vote no on the others vote yes on ours to establish a study committee and we'll pause any new artificial turf until a report is submitted no later than spring 2025 but maybe sooner next slide please article 12 is a response to the land management plan article 12 substitute motion is a response to the idea that plastic fields are safe they are not safe we have worked with the scientific community with toxicologists, ecologists we worked with the scientists who discovered PFAS in artificial turf in 2019 Kyla Bennett and Jeff Gerhardt we brought them to you we did a lot of videos with them we brought the science to you me, Robin, Winnell and Jordan we did this work for you this research for our community there is no artificial turf without PFAS there are tests which will not find PFAS these are promoted to offer a false sense of security don't believe them Arlington faces a public health and environmental health challenge the stakeholders are not just players all of the town residents are stakeholders please vote for the Malovchik substitute motion vote no on the others if you want to make it a one year research juggernaut we can give you some tips vote yes on the Schlickman amendment otherwise please vote no on all the others vote yes on the Malovchik I thank you Mr. Moderator and I thank town meeting thank you Ms. Malovchik like technically you can go back normally we would only allow debate within the scope of the pending motions but because of the there are some subtle interdependencies between some of these motions so I'll allow a limited form of commentary as they're being introduced across the motions even for motions that have not been introduced yet to a point now oh I don't believe we did thank you so we actually Ms. Malovchik we actually need a motion you can just move to substitute the main motion with Mr. Moderator town meeting I move to substitute the motion with the substitute motion and we have a we have a we have a motion to substitute and we have a second and we have a second and it is now before us so now have the main motion of no action and we have the Malovchik substitute motion stacked on top of it I'll now invite Dr. Vakil to introduce the Vakil amendment thank you Mr. Moderator Sanjay Vakil precinct 12 I've learned several specific things in the process of reviewing the research number one PFAS is a real problem based on my research and thankfully from the folks that put this together provided by the proponents I've retired my nonstick pan which is the biggest single source number two there's a massive difference in PFAS and other chemicals admitted by artificial turf fields depending on the specific manufacturer and technology used we should choose carefully number three the current research brings me to the conclusion that the incremental exposure to these chemicals from artificial turf is real but relatively small and in my judgment the benefits of the additional field time to the mental and physical health of our kids outweighs the incremental risk especially as a father of three who knows exactly how much my kids lost when they didn't have outdoor time during COVID the research here is relatively new and I expect it to evolve my opinion and judgment will evolve as well the goal of my amendment is to provide some very clear guidance to the town and parts and rec to choose a field technology which minimizes the risk to those using the field while leaving a path forward to installing I'm happy to answer specific questions about my analysis and decisions if meeting members wish but I don't want to waste any of your time I'll be voting no on the substitute motion if you choose to vote yes I recommend that you vote in my amendment as well thank you can you make your motion? I would like to make a motion to amend we have a motion to amend with the Bikil amendment and we have a second that is now before us as well thank you Mr. Green-Spawn to introduce his amendment and as he comes up I just want to make a brief comment on the ordering of these I applied the Ross rule in determining the order the sequence of the motions which is to start with the broad strokes first and then go to the finer strokes as in Bob Ross the legendary painter Mr. Green-Spawn thank you Mr. moderator Andy Green-Spawn precinct five given the Belmont Health School said they're stepping back from any potential deal to revitalize the Poets Corner playing field for the foreseeable future I would still urge voting for this amendment to exempt the turf moratorium for any town owned or future town acquired land at Poets Corner for a few reasons Poets Corner is in a state of disrepair due to deferred maintenance and also resides on top of an old municipal landfill that was not capped according to now modern requirements the town at present does not have the funds to repair this town owned land but it is still available for sale at three acres which park and recreation has stated would cost about three million dollars currently in addition it is unclear how or to whom the arts biases of Boston may now sell the adjacent six acres of land they own depending on underlying contamination and wetlands the price could be fairly low due to a few potential development opportunities except maybe open space it is even possible the town maybe hopefully could buy and buy the land and wait to develop it or wait for a private public partnership along to help develop it for open space if some alternative public partnership comes along in the next two years or sooner we wouldn't want to stop any potential development that may involve all natural grass or a mix of natural grass and artificial turf given that artificial turf companies are listening to the concerns of the public and are adjusting their materials and manufacturing methods we should not blink at ban such a possibility additionally it appears clear that there may be some potential development around poets corner anyway given the likelihood that there is at least some amount of wetlands covering that area well I personally am unsure about the moratorium on artificial turf for the rest of Arlington and maybe we'll have that decision in the next hour I have filled this file this amendment to seek a compromised position at the time that might be able to achieve a larger consensus of town meeting sorry I lost my mic but I think it's helpful for our constituents of which we probably heard from a lot of residents in town and helpful for the town manager and town staff to see where town meeting stands on the artificial turf issue and all these grainy details of amendments in case further opportunities to redevelop or reconstruct more open space and playing fields come to our door parks and rec and the town manager should have an idea of what types of fields we would be willing to support the future so that we don't end up in this situation possibly in the future so I move my the Greenspawn amendment for the amendments of the substitute motion and thank you everyone thank you do we have a second we have a second to the motion to amend the the law of the substitute motion with the Greenspawn amendment I now invite Mr. Slickman to introduce his amendment Paul Slickman precinct nine in this hall last Tuesday two administrative bodies in the executive branch of our town government were sharply divided over the prospects of a moratorium on turf fields the narratives were sharply different one narrative focuses on protecting us from hazardous chemicals the other focuses on the need for more playing fields in town town meeting as the legislative branch of government has the authority and responsibility to make policy decisions about playing fields in artificial turf beyond the scope of what we can enact tonight recent discussion wanders in and out of the four corners of this trapezoidal article before us I'll allow it my sense is that lush well-maintained natural brass is a good thing and absent any other considerations of the preferred playing surface the playing fields in Arlington lack well-maintained natural grass the line of accountability for the fields leads back here to town meeting as town meeting is the appropriating authority that approves the budgets to support field maintenance Arlington doesn't have enough fields to meet the needs of our community the problem is exasperated when rainy weather prompts the town to take fields offline there are places where natural turf is important or artificial turf is important but not is not essential we only need to look at the athletic fields behind Arlington high school where the artificial turf is a barrier in part of the cap over a site that was contaminated with hexavaliant chromium and manufactured gas products according to the Boston Globe the toxic materials polluted Cutters pond which was filled in in 1932 to create the high school's football field and migrated underground to other parts of the immediate area Miss Malofchuk substitute motion recognizes its reality as it exempted the Arlington high school project from her proposed moratorium some artificial turf is better than others after considering the evidence derived from a study town meeting may choose to set standards for artificial turf for example town meeting may choose to ban crumb rubber but permit organic turf infill in any case there are decisions we are not prepared to make tonight and decisions we are prohibited from making tonight because they are beyond the scope of any article before the 2023 town meeting which is why I am offering an amendment to Miss Malofchuk substitute motion that will limit the moratorium to one year and require the committee formed under this article to present their findings at the 2024 annual town meeting under my amendment the study committee and the moratorium will expire with the dissolution of the 2024 annual town meeting which will give everyone the chance to submit warrant articles and other sufficient data that will enable us to make informed decisions this will also allow town meeting to vote a budget is aligned with the funding required to maintain viable turf fields by senses the town meeting needs more time and more information before it boasts a regulate artificial turf I don't believe a majority of town meeting wants to ban artificial turf and I don't believe a majority wants to walk away and allow artificial turf to be unregulated I move to amend Miss Malofchuk substitute motion to give us a gift of time a short time frame where we can consider the standards we want to set for our playing surfaces without obstructing any potential proposals for playing fields in Arlington please vote yes on my amendment thank you So we have a motion to amend the Malofchuk substitute motion with the Schlickman amendment Do we have a second? We have a second it is now pending before us so I invite Miss Palasotti to introduce her amendment and if by the way if you're just clicking into the speaker queue now you probably won't speak before the Schlickman amendment expires Thank you Mr. Moderator. Janice Palasotti precinct 8 I rise to submit an amendment to the substitute motion to article 12 this amendment makes all members of the artificial turf study committee voting members the ex officio members have extensive expertise in public health education and recreation their perspectives need to be fully reflected in the findings and recommendations of the committee the report to be submitted to this body and available to all Arlington residents needs to include their votes I ask that you vote in favor of this amendment so that if the substitute motion passes all members of the committee can participate on equal footing I ask to submit this motion we have a motion to amend the Malofchuk substitute motion with the Palasotti amendment and we have a second so that is now pending before us and I invite Dr. Dennis to introduce his two amendments he actually submitted more but you're getting a bargain here You're welcome. Greg Dennis precinct 1 I move that my two amendments on article 12 be received We have a motion to receive the Dennis amendments in front of us. Do we have a second? I'll count those as two seconds for the two amendments. Go ahead. And could I have my slides queued up please Yes, there we go. The article 12 substitute motion has at least three serious flaws in needs amendments. Next slide please The first flaw is the denial of voting privileges to some members While town meeting has allowed for non-voting committee members in some special cases in the past there is no compelling reason for it here I served on a committee that for a time had non-voting members I saw how that second class status created a sense of inequity and how it caused some of the non-voting members to simply not show up to meetings where the motion is written. Anyone who has voiced an opinion contrary to that of the proponents has either been relegated to non-voting status or excluded entirely. If we are to have a committee we need one that is inclusive of the diversity of viewpoints in town on this issue. A fix for this flaw is the Palli Asadi and Dennis 1 amendments. Palli Asadi gives voting privileges to all members however that change by itself would make for an even number of voting members and ideally committees have an odd number to avoid blocking on tie votes and to make it a bit easier to reach quorum. To address this my amendment reduces the moderator appointees from 2-1 It also specifies that this appointee is to be the chair and I charged the moderator with choosing someone neutral on the question of synthetic turf for the role I thought it best to avoid starting off the first meeting with a contentious election for chair. Next slide please. A second flaw is that the motion charges the committee with reporting only on the potential problems with turf. There is no mention of all the measures that exist to mitigate or eliminate potential issues. Most of our neighboring communities and cohort towns have installed new turf fields recently or have new turf projects underway. In Cambridge, in Somerville, in Belmont, in Watertown, in Winchester, Brooklight, in Boston and some are doing innovative things in their turf design and procurement from requiring stronger certifications on turf to using newer natural infills to contractually requiring the turf be downcycled at the end of life. Please report Dennis Amendment 2 to ensure the committee takes a look at how our neighbors are installing turf and assembles a set of best practices. If we go forward with the turf project in the future, that research would help us do it in the best way possible. Next slide please. A third flaw is that the substitute motion calls for a moratorium. I had planned on speaking about the outcome of a moratorium, but with today's news that possible outcome has become a reality. Poets will remain an uncapped landfill in an embarrassing place or the St. Camillus land will be sold to the highest bidder. Projects like poets are subject to a deliberative process and we gain nothing from preempting that process. It still had to go before the conservation commission and after further discussion the project would have been brought back to town meeting for approval of a land swap. It didn't make sense to decide the fate of the project now when we could have had a proper vote on it in the future with more information in hand. As for the fix, I had originally had an amendment to strike the moratorium section entirely, but I decided to withdraw it to support the Greenspan amendment, save us a bit of time. Despite today's news, I think we should still support the amendment, at least as a symbolic statement. Next slide please. In making their case for a moratorium, the proponents have cited several communities that purportedly banned or rejected synthetic turf. A little digging reveals many of these examples to be false. Springfield has been touted frequently by proponents as a densely populated community that meets its recreational needs without the need for turf fields. In reality not only has Springfield relied on turf fields for decades, they have two ongoing projects to install at least three new turf fields. We were told Belmont banned turf, not true. In 2019 the Belmont High School Building Committee looked at the research and concluded that turf was a safe and superior choice for their new high school. That field was installed in 2021. It's just an eight minute drive from here if you want to check it out. It's next to an existing turf field they have. We heard that Brookline rejected turf. Nope, at their town meeting last year Brookline created a committee called the Athletic Surface Task Force, cooler than our name. The task force found that turf was a safe and acceptable athletic surface and Brookline is proceeding with a turf installation at their New Driscoll School. We were told Boston banned turf, not true. That and over rejected turf, not true. Of course there's all our neighborhood communities that the proponents have not mentioned like Cambridge and Somerville and Watertown and Winchester, all of whom have installed new turf fields recently. Places like Cambridge and Somerville and Brookline we know these communities are no slouches at environmental responsibility. Our town meeting has followed their lead on many environmental articles. They do not have moratoriums. They all continue to approve of or disapprove of new turf fields on a case by case basis and so should we. Next slide please. How did we get to this complicated situation with multiple substitute motions and several subsidiary amendments? Well an early bad sign was when the proponents showed up to their select board hearing with no details of the study committee. They argued for a moratorium in a vague need to quote unquote study but not a word was written or uttered about who would be doing the studying, how the committee would be composed, or even would be a committee at all. It wasn't until much later that those details were revealed. Earlier public scrutiny and feedback might have given us something better to work with here. Instead I think we have a motion that is unbalanced it's not fully baked and at this point I doubt parliamentary procedure leads us to any kind of satisfactory action on this article. So yes we should try to patch this thing up with amendments but when that's done we should just vote the whole thing down. If supporters of a study committee want to come back in the fall with a balanced and well structured proposal they are welcome to. Thank you. Thank you. I now invite Mr. Benson and or Ms. Stamps to introduce the Benson Stamps substitute motion and while one or both of them come up I just want to clarify that this substitute motion is separate from the Milovchik substitute motion. Only one of them, both of them could substitute the main motion but in the sequence that we're going to do them one would completely clobber the other. So these are not composable. Mr. Benson I'm waiting for this. Okay. And to be clear while we're waiting here the Benson Stamps substitute motion stands alone. We do not have any amendments on it as opposed to the Milovchik substitute motion which has several amendments stacked on it. Can we have our slides? My name is Susan Stamps, town meeting member of Precinct 3 can you hear me okay? And I'm Eugene Benson Precinct 10 town meeting member. The first thing we wanted to say was a response to what happened today where we found out that Bill Monhill had pulled let's not quite sure what they pulled because it was never actually anything that was real. There were no written agreements. There was no money that changed hands to secure future projects or agreements because many people have argued against, some people have argued against article 12 because they want the Poets Corner field. Article 12 has never been about Poets Corner. It's about artificial turf and Arlington is a very progressive town. We've been a leader in the metropolitan Boston area on environmental issues and this put poisons in the ground is really not the direction we want to go in. So I just wanted to say the Poets Corner really doesn't make any difference to the importance of this article. Thank you. So we'll make a motion to substitute our motion to the main motion. Thank you. Can you go to the next slide please. So we're going to discuss three things. Yeah, you may I was so surprised at having come up right now that I forgot to bring my, the candidate we had in the back with the green circle on it. So if you have that that summarizes what we're asking for tonight. It's very much along the line to the melodic motion. We feel that it is better in some ways. It is to establish an artificial turf study committee. We'll get into those details in a minute and it requires a report from the committee. This is too high. Okay, there we go. I don't really need to stand on tip toes. It requires a committee a report from the committee before the spring 2024 town meeting. It could even be one that is submitted to the fall town meeting. And so the time it's flexible and there's a moratorium that's one year. And again that's flexible because town meeting at any time can reverse the moratorium. It exempts the high school from the moratorium because of contracts that we already have signed. And as I said town meeting can lift it at any time. So one of the main reasons why we decided to file this substitute motion was we went to the forum a couple weeks ago on artificial turf. And as some other people said, there were both sides and they weren't talking to each other. And I think you've heard similar things tonight by some of the speakers before us. And we felt there needed to be a committee appointed by town meeting that would report back to town meeting. That would be a fair and balanced committee of stakeholders. So we as town meeting members as the elected representatives of the residents of this town would know what to do when a proposal comes before us. We changed what we think should be the composition of the committee to make it fair and balanced. Can you just hold on a second where a couple of slides behind up on the screen. Could you go forward to slides, please? Seven voting members. One appointed by the conservation commission. One appointed by the park and recreation commission. One appointed by the capital planning committee because whatever we do is going to cost money. Should be in the capital plan. One appointed by the city council. One appointed by the city council. One appointed by the city council. One appointed by the city council. She can do services. Or she can do it herself. A town meeting member appointed by the moderator. And a town resident appointed by the select board. And two non-voting members who can bring information and help the committee. The town's environmental planner, And what we liked about this committee was that they are on a committee and they have to talk to each other and they have to share information versus what we saw the other night, which was they were talking across each other. It really was a debate. It was the same thing as the January 5th, 2023 meeting between Concom and Park and Rec. Next slide, please. We're running out of time. Okay, yeah, we're, yeah. Let's see, what are we doing? Oh, yeah, so, but this is what's, so it's a great committee because it's, it really is a fair group of all the stakeholders. But in addition to that, as you can see from this slide, we have certain requirements for the committee members. They can't have any conflict of interest. They can't have been testified at a court or administrative hearing, either for artificial turf or against it. They can't work for a business that isn't, isn't the artificial turf business or has been involved in construction of an artificial field. There are not being a member of a trade group that is involved with artificial turf. And that way, I think, we'll be able to get people who really are on the committee to look at the science and all the other relevant factors and make a fair and balanced decision. So we think this is the best committee both for the composition and because it's the only one that has these conflict of interest rules for the committee. Committee responsibilities, artificial turf review and report, health safety, environmental impacts, mitigation, which is everything that some of the other people talked about. Should it be from rubber? Should it be Brockville? You know, how do you deal with it? And a comparison of natural and artificial fields compared. Report findings and recommendations at least 30 days before annual meeting a year from now or earlier if the report's ready. So if something comes a year from now, we're set. And then the next slide, please. The next slide. And I think we're just going to get to why because we're almost out of time. Again, the main reason for the composition of the committee is so that people can talk together instead of at each other and arguing and it being really tense and horrible, which is what we've seen so far. That's the why. And oh, and that was just one more slide. I personally had never seen artificial turf. I went to the Arlington Catholic Field a couple of days ago. And the first X you see looks nice and white from a distance. The second one, if you walk up close, you see it's totally covered with rubber. It's unbelievable. Okay. So thank you very much. Thank you very much. And we appreciate your voting for our substitute motion. Thanks. So we now have all the motions pending in front of us. And just to help visualize this, it's like we have one large, if you just indulge me for just a moment, and then we'll get to debate. We have one large platter, which is the main motion on top of that large platter. We have two large plates, which are the two substitute motions. One of those large plates is the Milovchik substitute motion plate, which has six small plates, which is the sixth amendment stacked on top of that. And so we have to vote. That is not described anywhere in this book. But that's how we're going to do it. I won't tell anyone if you don't. And we can now start debate. So let me go to the speaker queue now, and I'll take Mr. Goldsmith. Are we scrolled to the top of the... Mr. Puller. Mr. Puller speak is about an update from today. Okay. Mr. Weinstein. Okay. I understand. I'll make determinations. I'll make the determinations of scope. I'm aware. Okay. Mr. Weinstein, I'm aware of the concern. And Mr. Puller does not have a handset to request to enter into the speaker queue with the town meeting members. I will allow Mr. Puller to speak, and I will be watching close...watch over the scope. Mr. Puller. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Sandy Puller, town manager. I found my town meeting button today, so I hope that that will help everything go smoothly and quickly. A couple of people have made reference to the statement from Belmont Hill, but some people also asked me about it earlier today in town meeting. So I just want to make sure that it's clear to everybody that we received a written notice today from Belmont Hill School, saying that it is pulling out of funding any work at Poets Corner, and that what had been proposed was to have Belmont Hill build a turf field there that could be used by Belmont Hill and by the town. So that is off the table. I would also just like to say, as I have said from the very beginning, since Ms. Palafchuk first offered her amendment, I hope that the town meeting supports the Select Board recommendation of no action. If you feel like voting for a lot of amendments, that I would hope... Mr. Weinstein, you have a point of order? I understand, Mr. Weinstein, I understand the concern. You raised this earlier with me in private. I understood it then, and I understand it the same now. Mr. Puller, please proceed within scope. Thank you. I have opposed this for many of the reasons that Mr. Dennis outlined. One, I think a moratorium is a... Mr. Puller, I want to point out that it's not a time for... I'm not offering you this position ahead of the speaker queue for debate on the amendments, but if you had an update to offer that was relevant to this discussion. Well, I guess I would then ask the question, as the employed town manager of the town, who does get to push a button to speak, when would town meeting like to hear from the town manager on this issue? It is... Hold on, Mr. Weinstein, please, no more outbursts here. The answer to your question, Mr. Puller, is that you may respond to questions that town meeting members may have on this topic. That is an answer I appreciate getting. Not sure that it makes sense, but thank you very much. Thank you. We'll now take Mr. Goldsmith. Gary Goldsmith, precinct 11. I'm a little nervous. I speak from the vast experience of two and a half weeks as a town meeting member. And thank you to my fellow members for working to make the best, really thought-out decisions. I thank the moderator for taking on a challenging task. I thank the parents of children for doing what they think is best in their children's interest and the environmentalists trying to do the right thing for the world that those children will inherit. This is a debate about artists of turf inextricably connected with poets' corner. And I find myself wondering if we're not making short-term thinking and weighing that over wise decision-making. Let's look at the options here. Belmont Hill desperately wants more playing fields. Today's events aside. And they are willing to pay big money to make that happen because they obviously don't have another good alternative to turn to other than this one. The Archdiocese understandably wants to generate sorely needed revenue and ostensibly will immediately sell their land to the highest bidder. But even though Arlington has a hot real estate market, I wonder how attractive a poorly capped landfill will be to developers and will they be willing to take on the cost and the risk of puncturing an unreliable cap. And how many homeowners, no matter how desperate they may be to buy a home in Arlington, which they should, are going to cough a big bucks to buy a house on a sketchy site with potential health risks. I think Arlington may have the stronger hand in this card game if we can resolve the issues in a timely manner. And with that in mind, I support the Benson Stamps substitute motion which offers a clear pathway to a wise and timely decision. I think that both Belmont Hill and the Archdiocese, despite today's events, are likely to work with us if there's a clear end point in sight. They have confidence that their artificial turf option will work and they likely believe that they will get the feel that they want perhaps after a bit of a wait. And how long will that be? The Benson Stamps substitute motion calls for a decision by the 2024 town meeting or earlier if that can be achieved, perhaps at the special town meeting in the fall. Yes, our kids need more places to play, but will they think we did the right thing in 20 years if they have illnesses and injury due to short-term thinking on our part? I have a number of unanswered questions about the alternatives that have been discussed. Is the entire site going to be recapped to 2033 standards? What if the FDA or the CDC concludes that turf actually does have serious health risks and we're stuck with a field that nobody wants to play on and we will be on the hook for pain for recycling the artificial turf in 10 years, perhaps when it's considered toxic waste? How expensive will that be? And will the town meeting members of that time think that we made a good decision? Or were we the last ones to buy into a problem? My point is that we are the governing body for Arlington. We are its legislature. We are the adults in the room. We should be choosing the best long-term decision for the town. That really is the focus of what we're deciding upon. I think the Benson Stamps substitute motion addresses that. I support it. I encourage you to vote for it. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Thank you, Mr. Goldsmith. Let's take Mr. Weinstein next. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Jordan Weinstein, precinct 21. I just first want to apologize for my outburst. This has been a very stressful process to get to this night. The meeting doesn't sincerely appreciate that. Thank you. And I'm also grateful for all the folks who have stepped up and offered amendments and substitute motions for this. I think it's a worthwhile conversation to have. I'm one of the four main proponents of the Milovchik substitute motion. And I'd just like to say a few words about a few of the amendments that have been offered. And the first one I'd like to talk about is the Vakil amendment. He was the first one to speak this evening of these. If anything, it's interesting because Sanjay's amendment makes the case for why we actually need a study committee. This amendment that he offers doesn't address the presence of what's called precursor chemicals that are in artificial turf and can chemically bond into PFAS. We've learned this from discussions with scientists that we've talked about and toxicologists. The testing that he mentions, EPA 537, is a method he recommends, but it only detects a fraction of the PFAS in artificial turf. And he mentions the California and European standards, but they hold no legal or regulatory weight in Massachusetts. And the industry phrase that he uses in his amendment, PFAS-free, is actually nowhere near free of PFAS. But it's so for a minute that you could get PFAS-free turf. You'd still be choosing, if you chose artificial turf, the destruction of oxygen producing green space, green land ecosystem that you're covering, and habitat. You'd also be installing a heat island in an area of Arlington near the Poets Corner region that is already a heat island. And an EPA-defined impervious surface, which is what artificial turf is. And it will add about 27,000 gallons of stormwater per acre per inch of rainfall to already a flood-prone area over an uncapped waste site. PFAS, by the way, even though you may get small exposures each time you encounter it and are exposed to it, is something called bioaccumulative. So small exposures build up in the body to eventually become major problems for you. They cause cancer and other problems. And even if new artificial turf exposes you to very small amounts of PFAS and other toxins, over time, the PFAS and the artificial turf itself gets trampled on, ground up, and pounded into a powdery substance that then, when you play on it or run on it or roll in it, gets thrown up into the air, gets inhaled, it gets into the mouth, it gets ingested, and it can also get absorbed through the body through abrasions, which kids have when they're playing sports. In any event, for all these reasons, I'm asking you to reject the Vakil Amendment. Based simply on the fact that, as it's written, we simply don't know what we're going to be voting for. The Pagliasadi Amendment isn't controversial in my mind. If you think that all members in our Milovchik substitute motion should be unable to vote, please vote for the Pagliasadi Amendment. That would make the three town employees who are currently non-voting members in the Milovchik substitute motion voters, and that would perceptibly and probably make it much more acceptable to a lot of people and maybe make it more unbiased. The Dennis Amendment, the first one, while it pretends to make the study committee more neutral, it takes away one important democratic freedom that was pretty much glossed over here, that most committees have, and that's the ability to choose their own chair. Instead, the Dennis Amendment, number one, imposes a chair from the top as an appointee of the town moderator. Now, I have nothing against the town moderator, but in this regard, this amendment is rather autocratic and not in keeping with our historic and democratic traditions of allowing a committee, a study committee, or any other committee to elect its chair, or maybe even co-chairs, or maybe even a rotating chair, but certainly not a chair that's appointed from above. Dennis Amendment, number two, expands the scope of the study committee to include best practices in the use of artificial turf. That's fine, but it fails to extend the same scope to natural grass fields. In my opinion, this is going to result in a skewing of the study committee to focus on something that really needs to be focused on, or to divert the focus onto something that really needs to be focused on, which is scientific information on the nature of artificial turf and whether it's safe for us to use. If the town decides in the end to use more artificial turf, there would be plenty of time to study best practices, but as it's written right now, the Dennis Amendment, number two, changes the committee's focus, in my opinion, and distracts it, or would distract it, from researching whether artificial turf is safe to use in town. So after all is said and done, I still believe that the Milovchak substitute motion, the original substitute motion is our best choice if we're to have a thorough, rational, scientific assessment of whether or not our town should continue to use artificial turf on our playing field. So I urge you to vote yes on Milovchak substitute motion. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Weinstein. Let's take Ms. Bergman next. I hadn't been called autocratic before. I thought it would sting more. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Robin Bergman, precinct 12. I'm not going to talk about the science and the specific amendments to other substitute motions since Jordan just did. As one of the proponents, one of the small committee that worked on this, I will try to explain to you why I decided to work on this warrant article in substitute motion and why it's so important to me. To quote a letter from the Connecticut Examiner this week, artificial turf fields, it's personal. In doing some climate-oriented work last year, artificial turf kept coming up. I started to go to webinars with scientists and read up on the subject. I had followed the DuPont Teflon scandal and exposés. I had noticed the PFOA scandal with plastic water bottles and was suspicious when everything was suddenly PFOA free. I had not put it all together until I listened to the scientists. These chemicals are all related as a class of chemicals, yet they have rarely been regulated, and when they have, it has been one by one. And when... Sorry, I lost my place here. And when all individual chemicals are regulated, industry tweaks something in the chemical makeup and creates a new one. So now that new one is unregulated and free to be used. There are now somewhere between 12,000 to 14,000 PFAS chemicals. No one is exactly sure how many and the number continues to grow. This is why many scientists now want them to be regulated as a class. I came of age during a time when better living through chemistry and the future is plastics where the slogans of the day. No one thought of any unintended consequences. When I was in high school, I was mystified and horrified when one by one, mothers of my friends started dying from breast cancer. There was a cluster of cancer in my neighborhood. Some of us originally thought we were immune to it because our houses were uphill from what then became known as a Superfund site. Then my sister's best friend who lived two doors away died of childhood bone marrow cancer before she was nine. Fast forward and my mother fought cancer five times and didn't make it on that fifth one. I too had a lumpectomy and have been told I am at high future risk. And so are most of my friends. I can count only a few friends who have not had some form of cancer. Instead of meeting for lunch at a restaurant, it's become frequent to meet for lunch instead at the MGH cafeteria. I have lost too many friends from cancer, including one a week ago. Definition of Superfund site. Locations polluted with hazardous materials and waste. There were heavy metals and all kinds of other toxins in that Superfund site. And I now know there were also PFAS chemicals there just as in artificial turf. And some 50 years later, the site is still in litigation after many proposed projects from housing to an Amazon warehouse have all been canceled because of continuing cleanup safety and liability issues. Artificial turf fields are creating toxic sites as well as leaching materials into the air, land and water. Those of us working on the moratorium have sent you materials and articles about the current science. Artificial turf has multiple toxins, including heavy metals, PFAS, microplastics. New research comes out daily. For example, last week articles about some of these chemicals broaching the blood-brain barrier within two hours. Remember, there are no safe levels of PFAS and no safe levels of lead among other toxins. In 2015, the girls' soccer team in Washington state had a cluster of cancer cases among goalies. Recently, the Phillies reported a cluster of rare brain cancer among ball players. Examples like this continue to come up. It's clear to me that PFAS and artificial turf are the new asbestos, the new tobacco, the new climate science denial. It seems we have not yet learned lessons from these examples. Why would we in Arlington ban plastic bags, ban plastic water bottles, endorse a new campaign to outlaw plastics, create new energy plants to get off fossil fuels, only to install a plastic field that is 40,000 pounds of plastic carpet, the equivalence of two to four million plastic bags just in the top layer of artificial turf alone? To quote but take some liberties from that Connecticut letter again to make it more relatable to Arlington. I am disappointed and puzzled. Why are my friends and colleagues, all fervent advocates for addressing the climate crisis on one hand, voting for removing green space and replacing it with plastic fields on the other hand? How can we as part of the leadership in our town promote new initiatives spanning plastics to combat global warming while signing off at the same time on yet another heat island in town already lacking sufficient green space? Why am I compelled as a member of Arlington Town Meeting to help formulate, discuss, and pass a policy that would place a temporary moratorium on artificial turf fields with a study committee when my compatriots don't see the urgency or the dangers? Maybe it's my lived experience. Maybe my personal story can sway some of your opinions. I ask you for a yes vote to support the Moloff Check substitute motion and a no vote on the other motions and amendments. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Bergman. Let's take Mr. Moore next. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Christopher Moore, Precinct 14. We are seeing a moment in our history of understanding of these chemicals that looks like a lot of other times in science. It's confusing. We have scientists promoted by one side, scientists promoted by the other side, and I think the reason for that is this is how science goes. There are times when things aren't super clear. There are times when we think we see a problem coming. We don't know how bad it is. We don't know if there's a way around it. And I think those things will become more clear over time. We have in front of us a vertebral gauntlet or maybe feast, Mr. Moderator, of... Smorgasbord. Smorgasbord? I'll get with that. Of substitute motions. And then, of course, the side dishes of amendments surrounding the Moloff Check substitute. One thing that's... And I think we've heard really good things from the people who propose those things, and I thank them for their work in doing so. One thing I'd like to understand better is what happens if we take the Select Board's proposal and vote no action on Article 12? What actions does the town plan to take in that case? Okay. Mr. Holmuth or Mr. Pooler? Sandy Pooler, Town Manager. It would be my intention if this no action is voted to appoint a committee to look at the turf issues. I believe further study is important. I believe that the forum we had the other night answered some important questions but also brought up other questions. So I would appoint a committee made up of members of the Conservation Commission, Board of Health, Parks and Recreation Commission, a resident appointed by the Select Board, a resident appointed by the School Committee, a resident appointed by the Manager, and a resident appointed by the Moderator. I would ask this committee to look at the composition of fields, including the use of various components of the underlying structure, the grass blades, the infield, and other materials used to construct artificial fields. I would ask it to look at the testing standards. Many people have talked tonight about what kind of tests there are, and I think certainly any kind of field that might be built in Arlington should pass rigorous tests. I would look at the environmental impacts of all plain fields, grass and artificial turf fields, including the release of chemicals from artificial turf fields, the possibility of reducing or eliminating such releases through the use of alternative materials, the use of chemicals on grass fields. We use a lot of chemicals on grass fields now, and other related environmental issues. The health issues related to playing on fields, including temperature issues, exposure to chemicals, exposure to biological hazards, and injury issues. The recreation playing time on artificial turf fields, the capacity of grass fields to meet the demands for usage, and the life cycle costs of artificial turf fields, including insulation, maintenance, and disposal, also the feasibility of making current grass fields organic. I would ask this committee to make a report by its findings. I would suggest by January 1st, 2024, so there'd be time in case there'd be other warrant articles to propose for the 2024 town meeting. I do this because I think people have raised some very serious issues. I have some very serious questions about turf fields, and I do think it is important to continue to look at this. So if that's how I'm going to vote that way, that would be my next step. Thank you. I think that's a sign that things are working. If you're supporting fields, you've been heard. If you think artificial turf is a terrible thing, you've also been heard. And I like the manager's proposal because it puts together a committee involving citizens along with some of the other committees we already have in town that are working on these issues, for instance, the Conservation Commission, and I believe you included the Recreation Commission as well, or whatever we call them, Recreation People. Sorry about that. So I think the most straightforward path forward here is to take the Select Board's recommendation of no action, not because I'm saying that everything that people have brought up is not important because the government has heard us, and there's a sensible path forward here that involves all of the organizations in our government that already exist and brings those together with other folks to come up with a solution. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. Thank you, Mr. Moore. Let's say Mr. Heard next. That's a point of order. Andy Greene, Spana, Precinct 5, thank you. Quick three motion questions. One is the Benson Stamps substitute motion dividable between A and B? If so, does someone have to make an official motion for that? And three, would they have to make a motion before we vote to terminate debate? That's a great question. That's a point of order. It's about procedure. Given the sequence that I laid out that I shared ahead of time with everybody, we would be pretty deep into debate before we know whether the main motion is divisible or not. And because of that, there won't be an opportunity at that point to have a speaker queue to debate or to make motions such as division. In that case, I would be inclined to divide the question in the interest of the meeting, which is my discretion as moderator. And in this case, I feel that that would apply. So if we get to a point where we end up with a main motion that is susceptible of division, then I would be inclined, because the meeting wouldn't be able to have the opportunity to move to divide it, that I would take that stuff myself. But there are many outcomes where we get to a main motion, which is simply not divisible. Mr. Hurd. Thank you, Mr. Moderator. John Hurd, precinct 18. That's the first time I've got to say that. I don't want to repeat what Mr. Halma said in regards to the select board report. I do assume everyone watches all of our meetings and saw everything that was said at the hearings. But I do want to just come up and reiterate just a couple of points that I made then and make a couple more points. To me, as a select board member, Tommy DeMember, residents, I am always baffled by the amazing work that Arlington does in the areas of conservation, the climate resiliency, and I certainly understand where the proponents are coming from on this. I come to this as part of the town administration, as a parent of two boys that get an awful lot of use on the town fields. And I look at this as the proponents had mentioned this pending legislation in the state legislature in Massachusetts right now on artificial turf fields. To me, this is a state issue. For many reasons that the state has the resources to look at artificial turf fields, to bring the right experts in, and to make a very informed decision on the future of artificial turf fields in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It also, on a state level, no pun intended, levels the playing field for our athletes. And I know that there are a lot of concerns and they're valid concerns. I don't want to devalue the concerns of people of the proponents or individuals that want to vote in favor of a moratorium. But to me, there's been a devaluing of the importance of adequate playing fields for our children. And of all the articles that we've passed in recent years, whether it's the bottle ban, the plastic bags, whatever it is, that I've supported in those situations where burdening mainly adults. This is a burden on our children and you're taking away an incredible resource for our children, which is adequate playing fields for all the sports. You have a joint letter from the Arlington Baseball Club, Arlington Soccer Club, and Arlington Lacrosse Club, which for anyone that's involved in local sports knows it very hard for those three organizations to come together on anything relative to playing fields. And I say that in jest, but the reason is we don't have enough. There is a lot of demand for our playing fields. And because I've gone with my boys, I've woken up on a Saturday and said, hey, let's go hit some balls. We've driven to seven fields before and every one of them was occupied. We do not have enough playing fields. This year at least five or six games have been canceled so far. We've only played two or three games because of our playing fields. Poets' Corner, if it rains, the standard is two days after the rains. If it rains on Sunday, Monday closed, Tuesday closed, you can play on Wednesday. And even on Wednesday, you're going to go and you're going to have to push water out of the... I think it's in scope, Mr. Warden, out of the batter's box in order for them to be able to play. So to come in and impose a moratorium on new potential playing fields is just not fair to our children that are playing on these fields. And even with the news today, that doesn't mean that we're not going to have some new potential project that's going to come into play within the timeframe voted on the moratorium. So with that, I would urge that you vote yes on Mr. Dennis' amendment, but as he mentioned, vote no on the main article. And with that, Mr. Moderator, I'd like to invite a town resident to speak with the rest of my time. Okay, you have about two minutes and 10 seconds. Yes, and someone at the town, I think owes a great deal of gratitude to Mr. Phil Lasker. And he is a resident of Arlington. Name and address, please. Phil Lasker, one Claremont Court, chair of the Park and Recreation Commission. Thank you. The Park and Recreation Commission is devastated by the recent news that Belmont Hill School has withdrawn from the Poets Corner project. Unfortunately, their financial situation has changed and their appetite for a lengthy and contentious permitting process has diminished. Our position as a commission has not changed. We oppose any moratorium, prohibition, or ban on synthetic turf. We believe based on independent, scientific, peer-reviewed studies and the input from our experts that synthetic turf is safe. Organically managed natural turf fields are not the answer to solving our field space and quality needs. Poets Corner is still a great location to explore the use of synthetic turf. The community has expressed the desire to have additional field space, less cancellations, improve field conditions, and safer playing surfaces. The way to accomplish this is with synthetic turf. Hundreds of volunteers spent countless hours on this mission. We would like to thank them for their overwhelming support, especially the user groups who really got our message out. Our commission will continue to work hard to bring their vision to reality. We would like to thank the Poets Corner neighborhood who were actively engaged in the process over the course of three public meetings and several years about the project and provided valuable feedback. We would like to thank the Belmont Hill School and the Archdiocese of Boston for this opportunity and hope that we can work together in the future. The town has had a long-standing, mutually beneficial relationship with these parties that will continue for years to come. Finally, we would like to thank Joe Conley, director of recreation for his continued commitment to the town. His passion and dedication are unmatched. For anyone interested in more information about synthetic turf, we will be posting a document on our website as a follow-up to the turf form held last week. Thank you. Thank you. Let's take Mr. Trumbly next. Mr. Trumbly, precinct 19. Mr. Moderator, I had a little experience a little while ago. I almost got involved in picking up an artificial turf field. I think it was a couple of years ago, so I'm getting old and my memory gets a little hazy, but the option was... Picking up like you bought one or you physically lifted one? Well, I'm getting to that. I think it was... Yeah, I just forgot the name of the town. Western or Sudbury. Somewhere out there. They bought a brand-new artificial turf field that was less than a year old, and it rained some, and the water ran across the field a little bit and washed the crumb rubber out of it, and then the field floated away. So I just wanted to bring that to the meeting's attention because we've been talking about chemicals and all this other stuff, and we've talked about the natural process of having your fields float away if it's artificial. Is that your story? And... Yeah. Because I almost had to go pick up the crumb rubber. And since we've been talking about Poets Corner, I'll bring up something different here. I would really like to see the town buy Poets Corner and make playing fields out of it, so they can use this turf... So the purchase of land is not really... I understand that. But the use of the land, whether it's got artificial turf on it does have to do with what I'm going to say. Because I would like to see the town have that and put natural turf on it so that they could use it for a snow dump should we get a winter lake we had not that long ago, or a place to stash... Is this coming around to the use of salt on the road when we can't... No. Salt comes up in the DPW budget. Okay. Anyways, there's a snow dump or a place to stash vegetation should we have another microburst it generates a lot of it. Thank you, Mr. Robert. Thank you, Mr. Tremblay. Let's take Ms. Kelleher. It is 1101. Okay, before I recognize a motion to adjourn, do we have any notices of reconsideration for the Minuteman 44? For the one article that we voted tonight, we have a notice of reconsideration. Okay, so do we now have any motions to adjourn? We have a second? Okay, all those in favor of adjourning yes? All those opposed? You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. We are adjourned.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6UVaJL9-RI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Thank you guys so much for clicking on this one, man. Hey, let me tell you something. I'm telling you the story right now. If you guys are new to the channel, you better smash that subscribe button. Hit the like button. Today, we actually have an original searching for giant or fishing for big bass, whatever you guys wanna call it. Fishing for giant bass episode where we go out to new location, not only new locations, we go out to the same locations. We go out to just cool little places where there's on the boat, where there's on kayak, where there's on the bank and we hunt for those giant bass. And that is exactly what we're doing today is going to hunt for them. But before we hop into that and I show you what I'm throwing, be sure to go check out the old big bass energy clothing boys right here. Look at it, it's hot, it's on the website. Go ahead and go copy some, it's selling fast. So you guys wanna make sure you get one before it is all gone. Join the movement, guys. If you guys are wondering what big bass energy is, it's about having that mindset, about having that positive attitude and going out there and catching big fish every single time. So be sure to join the army if you guys send me some pictures. I don't think you'd like some merch, man. If you guys send me some pictures of yourself and the big bass merch, I will actually end up posting them not only on my kick in the ass TV story, but I actually built a page directly for you guys where I just share you guys' posts with big bass energy on it. Go ahead and go give it a follow on Instagram. It's at big bass energy, pretty obvious. But yeah, go give that thing a follow. Go tag me in your photos and blow that thing up and I'll post you guys up. Anyways, I'm only using one rod here today. And if you guys are wondering, it is the Louis Mac-Dooler here in the green and I'm only throwing one bait. This is kind of the bait I'm gonna stick to today and hunt for these big fish. I'm just kind of in the mood to throw a fluke today. So that is exactly what I'm throwing. Throwing the old six sense hooks right here, which are very, very sharp. These are EWGs, four odds. You guys can go check them out and use my code that I'll pop up on the screen if you're curious. And I also got Katie in the mix today. You guys know Katie, you know we filmed some video. What do we film? We filmed the boys versus girls challenge, right? So we're back at it today. And also I want to try to get you to catch your PB. That's like a goal. So your PB is like, I swear it's four eight, man. You can talk all the trash you want, but I swear it's four eight, four and a half pounds. I'll say four and a half, but I think it's more like a five. So yeah, she has a PB of a spotted bass is four and a half and then a largemouth that's about four and a half around there. I want to say it was four eight. I'm just saying. We got big fish in the tournament. We got big fish in the tournament, but I'm pretty sure it's four eight. And if you don't know another fish, that was pushing five. I don't know, man. I mean, I have the footage. I can go back and watch it. Well, anyways, guys, we're gonna hop into today's video. Be sure to smash that like button. Let's go ahead and get started. Try to find those big bass. Let's get it. Like, like out here. See where I just casted. Got them already. First cast. Gosh, first cast. Are you kidding me? That's a decent one too. That's all the two and a half. Gosh, that might be a three. That's a three. Look at that, boys. That's solid two and a half pounder right there. To start off, the big bass video has been a while since I've done like a searching for Giants video, fishing for Giants video. It started off first cast. That's insane. I threw it out there. I let the fluke sit for a second and I popped it twice and he already was taking off of the line. That was just insane. I must have landed right on his head. That was just luck of the draw right there. Six cents hooks. If you guys wanna check them out, go peep them and get you 10% off. These things are freaking sharp. That is a fatty. We'll get a weight on him just to do it. Beautiful fish, guys. I think he's about two and a half. I don't think he's three. He's two and a half on the money. Two pounds eight ounces, which is two and a half, boys. Exactly what I just said. And that is a beautiful, thick bass right there. On the fluke. First one to start off today, let's go. First cast, that was insane. It never happens to know. Look at his little fat bug go. Right there on the fluke. Let's get it, Katie. Now it's your turn. Five pounder. All right, there where I did. I let it sit. I did that. And then let it pause. You got him? Oh my gosh. No way. Is he big? Katie's got a sl- Oh my God, that's a four pounder. Katie, you got a freaking slodge. Next cast, same spot. They must be stacked out there. Come on. Come on, girl. That's a good one. That's almost four pound. That's four pound. Oh my gosh, Katie. Look at that. That is such a good fish. That's a four pounder all day. That's a fat one. You only get them on the bank for. Look at that, girl. Just think about that, Katie. What do you think? First or second cast, I guess. That's four pounder. You think? That's four pounder. Here, I'm gonna let you hold him or you want me to weigh him first. Let's weigh and then I'll hold him and we can release. Katie, that was crazy. Guys, I didn't even pick up my rod yet and I was like, they're right where I threw. That's a four pounder, Katie. Oh my God, it's your PB. Is it? Four pounds, 11 ounces. That's almost a five pounder. There you go. I just weighed this for Katie. My camera ran out of memory, so I don't know, but it was 411. So this is your PB. This is your PB right here. What you gotta say about it? Why are you so quiet, man? I'm in shock. I don't know. I thought it was gonna be harder to reel in. He kind of didn't fight me as hard as I thought he was. Yeah, you didn't really do much, did he? No, so. I wanna get back in the water. Yeah, let's get a picture though. You want a picture? We ran off the bat. That was so crazy. Let's do another one. You can just toss him. I know it's a little far. Pull the whole thing off. Oh, not like this. He's cool, he's cool. Look at that. Katie, give me some on that. What is wrong with you? I'm excited. You are not excited. I'm just appointed. That is my personal best, though. That is your personal best, hands down. No, the one on the river was felt bigger. He felt bigger, but he was a 4'8". Oh, man. That's a 4'11", girl. He just caught a five pounder. He didn't even like jump out of the water. I know. That was crazy. When you hooked him, you seemed big, though. Guys, we just got out here. I literally threw my first cast. I caught one. It's gonna be a good day. What? They's going through in there. Throw in there, get another one. Well, that's a pretty good cast. All right, just give it that pause. Look at that. Well, guys, look, first cast, I slammed one. Next cast for Katie, which was her second cast. She nails her PB right off the bat. That was our main goal, is for her to catch her PB. Her PB was on the river in a tournament, it was like 4'8". And that was a 4'11". That was almost a five pounder, which is crazy, but let's see if we can catch some more big ones. You see that? Oh my gosh, Katie, look at that. That was a huge... I was laying right on top of it. That was a huge one. Oh my God. Oh my gosh, guys. This is insane. Gotta get him out of that grass. Oh, he ain't that big. He ain't that big. He didn't jump, he looked huge. Oh no. That was a three pounder all day. What the heck, Katie? That was crazy. He came off right at the bank, just that is a beautiful fish. How the heck are we snacking them this good that quick? They saw a huge boil. Look at his mouth, guys. He's been jacked up. See the side of the mouth? I don't know if that's from somebody hooking him or what that is. If you guys know, leave a comment down below. That's a solid three pound bass right there. That was crazy. My heart's racing. You literally had to try to flip him and he just came off right there. That's a beautiful little guy. Came up and just oiled. Nah, I'm not gonna weigh him. What do you want to? All right. All right, this is my guess. All right, what do you think? He's either three on the money or he's a little short. So I'm gonna say two and three quarters to three pounds. You ready? He's way bigger. Three pounds, two ounces, baby. Everybody says I don't know the weights, man. I got him on the money out here. That's pretty good. I can't believe that. You guys should have saw the boil before I casted it in there, just massive boil. I would have expected a way bigger fish, but there might be some bigger ones out there schooling because that's the third casting that same spot. There's something they're sitting on. It might be a little whole, but it's a beautiful, beautiful bass. So I'm giving him a little toss. There he goes. Sun's right off. All right, Katie, let's get back in there. Ball time of year, guys. Fish chasing bait up shallow. It's fluke presentation over here near this grass. It goes through it so well. It's also a slow bait, but it's something that's moving and it's something that imitates a shad. I never munched in the fluke. I haven't had a fluke by this good and I couldn't tell you how long. They like a fluke today, boys. This is a super, super sunny out. It actually feels amazing. Sure enough, they're going to eat this fluke. That was crazy in the same spot. Two good ones. I actually have a jig tight on guys. Oh yeah, it is. That grass is like elevated off the bottom. But guys, I got a big jig. This is a hybrid jig by six cents. You guys know I've caught some toes on it. And some of the latest, on the latest episodes, I caught some spots on the near on it. I kind of want to throw this around. I haven't had a jig bite in a while and I'm just kind of feeling it, man. By a while, I mean, you know, a few days, but you know, I just haven't had like a crazy jig day. So I kind of want to throw this out here and hook a slonch on it. I feel like the fluke is just so good because there's all this vegetation, all the grass on the bank and that fluke just darts through it so well. I got one. Oh my gosh. Yo, this is a giant. Or he's stuck in the grass. What? I got him in the side. No, I don't. What? It's a tilapia. It's a tilapia. Oh my gosh. Look at this. It's a tilapia. I literally just hooked a tilapia. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. That's my first tilapia. Yo. That was my first cast on a jig. Did tilapia, this is such a stupid question. This is such a stupid question. I've never handled a tilapia. Leave your comments down below. I've never had to do this. I don't have a, do they have teeth? I don't think so. It doesn't look like it. I think tilapia have teeth. He looks funny. Should be one right here. This is the opening. It's like a little canal that opens right into this pocket. This should be the money shot. Oh my God. He ate it like a top water. I barely got a hook in him dude. He's not even big. I barely got my hook in him too. Oh, now you're in the grass. Oh man, look how small he is. Nah, he's small. It's like a pound. He ate it like a top water. I'll give him that, yeah. Little fat guy on the fluker. Well, not much, but still a fish. Pretty one. Eat it like a top water. I'll take him. I would come, yeah. There he is. Oh my gosh. What is that? Oh, it's a pass. For some reason, he looked like a pickerel. It is long, he ain't big, but God, they munched that fluke this time of year, man. Oh, you're just a poundy. Oh my gosh. Come here. You're not gonna believe this. Nope. That's a tail. To what? Baitfish. Look at this. I want you to see this. This is insane. See that tail in the back of his throat? Look at that. That's a baitfish. That's why they're eating that fluke so good. This time of year, guys, pushing the shad up shallow. That's what you get right there. Look at it in the back of his throat. Oh, the tail's still moving. That is crazy. All right, let's get him back in the water. Good little poundy guy. Did a little back flip. I feel like there's big ones in here. What was that? What the fuck was that? I don't know. What was that? That was literally probably a hundred pounds, whatever that was. That was probably an alligator. You think that was an alligator? I could have been like a carp or something, or an alligator. That's so scary. Or a 10-pound bass. I have no idea what that was. That was something big. Oh my gosh. Oh, he ate it like it's hot water. He pulled my tail right off. Look at that. Literally just put this fluke on too. Right when I was about to pick it up out of the water, he hammered it. That's a bummer. All right, we're gonna pull one of these on real quick. I wanna see if I throw back in there and he'll eat it. I never got a hook in him. Might have saw me though, that's my only problem. He ate it last minute. Right here. He's still there. Yes, he is. That was the same fish that hit me. Yeah. I was about to tell you to come over here and throw in, that's what I should have done. He like followed me in. I think he followed me off the drop off. Look at that. See he's from the grass, yeah. See, because you know where the grass line used to be, the grass died off, but I think they're still sitting on that. He like followed me up, he ate it like a top water. He did the same thing again. These hooks are so good. I don't understand. I'm serious, I've never had any hooks. I can just not get out. Look at that, I got a piece of his skin on there. Little guy. All right, not a giant. He already ruined my fluke again. I put three flukes on in a matter of like 20 seconds. They're in here. Oh, that's actually a good one. Oh, no he's not, what? No, no, no, he was in the grass. He felt so big. Like right when I hook said he went right down in the grass. I got him in the bottom jaw, maybe that's why. Yeah, when I hook said he felt huge and like my rod did that like whistle. Look how he has himself hooked. How in the heck am I gonna get that out, buddy? How the heck do you get hooks like that? Ah, these hooks. That is a fat guy. Look at that, that's still another smaller one, but he's got a little belly on him. Got a little belly. He ain't bad. Still not what we're looking for. I thought I had a good one. He's just drug himself down in the grass. Oh my God. I back lashed and I was trying to get it out and I had- That was like a four pounder. I know. I was trying to get it out and it was just sitting in the water and it came up and got it. Are you kidding me? I couldn't look at it. I couldn't reel. Out of any time. I have the whole time we're here, the bite that you get when you're back lashed. I wasn't even really trying to get it out. Wait, you watched him eat it or he was just taking off? So he was just taking off of it? Yeah. Maybe that's how we need to start working it. Maybe that's why we're messing up. We might just seem to let us in. It's fine, I don't go, yeah. Now I'm done with all you said, all you wanna-	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v63Ux460PtQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. Today we are checking out this super clean 2019 Ford F-250 crew cab short box. This vehicle has a 6.2 liter V8 motor. It 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 truck is 100% ready to go. Ignat Silver 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, or smartphone device, turn them on right now. Because it is definitely your best way to check out the quality and condition of the truck before seeing it in person. And if you'd like to check out all the photos on this truck in the upper right hand part of your screen, there's a link to our website. Click that and check us out there. It comes with the factory alloy rims and it has Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure LT27570 R18 tires. These tires look like they have probably about 90% of the tread left. Maybe a little bit more. The frame and underbody is in excellent shape on this truck. There's only 7,000 miles on this vehicle. Front fenders in excellent condition. No dents or dings. Headlight lenses are nice and clear. Front bumper is absolutely perfect. No dents or dings on that. And the hood is in great condition too. You get the chrome trimmed grille. The front camera. I believe this one has the 360 view camera on it as well. Which is pretty neat for an XL. Passenger side front rim is in excellent shape. And as you go down this side of the truck, 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 and just can't make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the truck, you can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. When you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises. It does have the cargo cam up there. And that's why we offer the Summit Auto Fastpass option in the upper right hand part of your screen. A link right to our website where you can apply for financing. Get pre-approved. See a payment quote. Even appraise a trade all from the comfort of your own home. So when you get here, all you gotta do is drive the truck. Love it. And you'll be all set to go. Back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. Then you can see the frame and underbody is like new. It's like that all the way underneath. Has all the original exhaust. Lower rockers look really good. And it comes with some really nice n-fab steps. You do get the bed rail covers on all Ford trucks. And as we come around to the back of the vehicle, rear bumpers in great condition. No dents or dings on that. And it does have a full towing package, which includes a receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring. The tailgate is absolutely perfect as well. And other than the little bit of snow back here, the bed is absolutely perfect too. Tailgate shuts nice and solidly. And as you go down the driver's side, just as clean as a passenger's side, no dents or dings on the box. And for full disclosure, this back rim, no scuffs or scrapes. Down the rest of the side of the truck looks really good. This does have the STX appearance package, which I believe gives you the chrome bumpers and everything. Inside the XL package gives you the gray cloth interior. The 40-20-40 slip end seating, no rips, no tears on the seats. They're in really nice condition. You get the Husky all-weather floor mats, power windows, power locks, power mirrors. You do get the telescopic tow mirrors. They're heated. They have directional signals in them. You get auto headlamps as well. As we hop inside, we'll get that back on. See that this truck has 7,001 miles. Steering wheel is in excellent shape as well. You have audio and Bluetooth controls on the right, cruise controls and information center controls on the left. Comes with the six-speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift. Turn the radio on here. It has the sync 8-inch radio and FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities. We'll double check on that. Yep, it does have Sirius XM. Then you have all your different apps and stuff here. You do have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities. You can project to the screen your cell phone. This is also where your backup camera shows up as well as your 360 cam. You can actually change the cameras that you're looking at. That's the back camera. That's a wide view of the back camera. You have a trailer cam, so you can look down the sides of the vehicle, which is pretty cool. Just a lot of cool stuff that you can do with this cam. And then, of course, you have that cargo cam right there. But that is that. You have your turned-off four-wheel drive. Your factory brake controller, climate controls, radio controls, 110 volt, 400 watt plug-in. And the passenger side seat and floor mat are in excellent condition. No rips or tears on there. The headliner is in really nice condition. You get six auxiliary up-fit switches up here and map lights. And we'll take a quick look at the back seats. Then we'll start it up and take a quick look under the hood. Back seats are just as clean as the front seats. No rips, no tears back here. It does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have. And you do get that fixed glass rear window with the built-in rear defrost. These seats fold up like so. You get another Husky all-weather floor mat back here, which is keeping your carpeting looking like new. Got a little strap there to get that seat down. And you do have child safety locks on the back doors. Bottoms of the doors all look really good. And we'll start it up and take a quick look under the hood. These mirrors do fold in like so. They also telescope out and in. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today. And hopefully from this HD video, you have been able to tell just how clean this truck is all the way around. Inside and out. Under the hood, we have the 6.2-liter V8 motor. And Jambay is very clean, runs very smooth. This truck 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.

I'm Ben, I'm Julia, aka Lara Croft, aka Jim Cosplay, and we just saw Tomb Raider. What do we think? You're about to find out. Do you think? So Tomb Raider picks up with a young Lara Croft saying goodbye to her father who mysteriously goes missing, presumed dead. We pick up the story years later. Lara's a young, rambunctious young woman still holding on to that memory of her father, and little does she know she's going to be sucked back into that mystery of what happened to her father. She's going to go on all sorts of wacky adventures, and this is an origin story of how Lara Croft came to be Lara Croft. Again, because as we all know, this story happened many years ago with the first Tomb Raider, but I'm keen to know today, not only, Jules, do you think this is good, but do you think this lives up to the video game series that this is based on? Going in, I was definitely sceptic of this movie being such a hardcore Lara Croft fan. I was actually surprised. It did have very memorable moments that we've seen in the more recent games, but did pay homage to the old Tomb Raider games and movies as well. So I'm actually coming at this from just a pure movie fan basis, and I just wanted a good time with this movie. I was like, like you, I was a little bit skeptical, but I thought maybe this can just have a few cool action sequences. Alicia Buchanan is a good actress, so let's talk about that straight up for that. Is Alicia Buchanan better than Angelina Jolie in this role? I think they're playing two very different roles. Alicia definitely had that naivety to her, and you saw her character develop and grow, and she did that really well. While with Angelina Jolie's character, it's Angelina Jolie. She just comes on the screen, you're like, oh my god, at least I am. Yeah, I think she brings sass to it, but not the same kind of sass that Jolie did. I think if you look at it now, Jolie is just, like she's kind of overacting a little bit, and it's a little bit almost cartoonish in the way that she played the role. But at the time, that was kind of like this, that was pre superhero movie kind of era, so it was fine. Now you can't really do that now. So the candid brings like a grittiness to it, and god that word doesn't get used a lot with these modern day superhero movies. Yeah, but yeah, there's definitely grittiness to it, don't you think? Definitely. And they try really hard to like set up Lara as this, you know, she starts out, she's like a, I guess you'd call it like a... Courier? Yeah, like a bike courier. And she's doing all this, you know, cap-aware stuff and you're like, this is where this is leading, right? They're trying to set her up. She has the skills, she just doesn't know how to use them yet. And that was believable. But what isn't believable in this movie, in my opinion, is some of the dialogue. Now I just thought it was a bit clunky and cliche. What do you think? It was very forced at times and it just felt like it dragged, but just that couple of sentences too long and you're like, all right, you didn't have to say, I'll wait for you. You could have just gone. That happens a lot, you know, in these Hollywood movies. It's like, in this film in particular, I kept thinking, this film is at its strongest when characters aren't talking. Like I was enjoying it the most when it was just pure action and no one was actually speaking. So I think we should talk about the action set pieces because I think that's the highlight of the film. What did you think? I was really worried after seeing the trailer that it was going to be really heavily CGI'd and that that would spoil a lot of the movie. I didn't notice it that much. So apart from the plane scene, which everyone's seeing because it's in the trailer, I didn't notice it. I actually enjoyed it. I was able to enjoy the moment in which the characters were in. Yeah, surprisingly, I know they rushed these films out so quickly. Sometimes the CG can look fake, but I think for the most part it was believable. And I was actually, you know, there was times when I was kind of gripping my seat, like there's actually some quite tense moments in this. Unfortunately, some of them are quite derivative. You know, Indiana Jones is obviously some of the springs to mind. There's moments that remind me of Jurassic Park and she seems to be hanging off objects quite a bit. I want that girl's arm strength. Yeah. I tell you, I don't know how she does it. She seems to be quite relaxed when she's hanging off a cliff. But yeah, I do think they're well handled. And I think I do think that's the highlight of the film for me. So one of the favorite things for me was definitely that arc and her character growth through it. So when you see her at that innocence and her getting surprised, especially with the side of death or the pain, that real world pain aspect, and one of the memorable moments definitely was her first kill. And that scene definitely wasn't played out and you were shocked with her and you felt that, oh my god, is she going to throw up now because I feel like I am. There was a grittiness to it. Yeah, the audience, you kind of feel that as an audience member. You do feel the weight of that first kill. So that was a genuine surprise, I think. So I think we should talk about the rest of the cast. Do you think there's any highlights here? You've got Daniel Wu's, her off-sider, not romantic interests because it's you know, it's 2018 and just because it's a guy and a girl doesn't mean they need to hook up. But he's just kind of there, isn't he? Yeah, he just kind of runs the subplot almost, but he did well. He did a good drunk. Yeah, he played a good drunk and then he kind of just like vanishes as the film goes on. I'm sure there's some deluded scenes there. You've got Dominic West, otherwise known as McNulty from the Wire, playing Lara Cross's father. He's quite stoic and very Dominic Westy. Yeah, I just think he's now become one of those actors where he's almost started just to play the same character over and over again regardless of the role. Yeah, and then you've got the baddie, Walton Goggins, who likes playing a somewhat shady character. The man with the ever-receding hairline. Yeah, but that hasn't changed in a couple of years now. Yeah, he's good though. He did play a good bad guy. He did have that menacing and that kind of almost twisted. Yeah, so this guy's a little bit unhinged. She's been on this island for seven years. He's every day is just completely obsessed with just finding this treasure and Lara comes into his world and she's the key to finding this treasure and him getting off the freaking island. It's all he really cares about. That's his motivation. Yeah. So I think apart from Alicia Vikander, he's probably the other pilot for me, but it's not the kind of movie where you come out of it and you go like, oh, an amazing ensemble cast. It's just, whoa, that's not what you're going to be saying after you see this film. I think what you're going to be saying after it is just I'm happy. So that's pretty much all we have to say about Tomb Raider. I think we should tell you guys, whether it's worth checking out, do you think if you're a gamer, like a hardcore Tomb Raider gamer, you'll be, you'll want to go check this out. I'd still recommend it, but you're going to pick it apart. I definitely think if you're more of a movie fan, it's definitely a good origin piece for you. So you think it's going to not actually impress the gamers, the people that have followed this series from the start are going to be disappointed with this? I won't say disappointed. I'll just say probably won't live up to their expectations. Okay. So do you think this is an improvement on the Angelina Jolie film? I'd definitely say it's an improvement. Okay. So the 2018 version of Tomb Raider is the best video game film of all time, according to this woman right here. You heard it here first. So that pretty much sums it up for us. I'm Ben. I'm Julia. And where can we find you on the internet, Julia? Instagram on Gemcosplay, us, underscores between those words. We'll put the link down below, so come follow me. I'm entertaining and fun. Awesome. Until next time, we'll see you nerds at the movies.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6JZjVVxnHs", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

That's what resonates with you So let them hate Let them get mad and envious You wouldn't be surprised if a dog barks at you Because that's just what dogs do Just as you shouldn't be surprised if a narcissist hates on you or gets mad and envious Because that's just who they are That's what narcissists do and just as the narcissist being true to who they are You should be true to yourself when you've been around these people for too long And you start feeling anxious or depressed. It's because you're not being you You're not living in the way that is authentic to you. You can't be yourself around the narcissist They will always criticize you And there will always be something wrong. They will never tell you this But the only right thing to do in this situation Is to leave the narcissist in the hole that they've created for themselves and move on with your life Believe in yourself and follow your dreams They will never appreciate you or your success But once you achieve the result that you were looking for You realize that you never needed them anyway because now you're on the level of where you always wanted to be You're in the frequency of success And when you recognize your worth When you recognize your value You will realize why nothing ever worked out with a narcissist You will realize why no contact is so important And you will never desire to return to them Because you know that the difference between going back to them or moving on with your life and following your dreams Is the difference between failure and success Thank you for watching.

For more details on NPTEL visit http://nptel.iitm.ac.in	[ "Mod-01 Lec-07 Jet Engine Cycles for Aircraft propulsion" ]	2015-09-23T15:32:21	2024-04-23T23:46:55	3,304	v61GsHKev-g	Hello and welcome to lecture number 7 of this lecture series on jet aircraft propulsion. In the last lecture, I had given you some introduction to what is meant by the joule Brayton cycle which is basically the thermodynamic cycle based on which all the jet aircraft engines operate, all the jet basically the jet aircraft engines operate on the Brayton cycle. So, we were discussing about the ideal Brayton cycle and also towards the end of the previous lecture, we also had some discussion on what could be the deviations from the ideal cycle because of irreversibilities occurring in the various processes. For example, the compression process for an actual cycle is non-isentropic. So, is the expansion process which happens to be non-isentropic. There are also pressure losses which occur in the heat addition and heat rejection processes. So, all these irreversibilities put together make the Brayton cycle non-ideal for actual engines. And so, what we will be discussing today is application of the Brayton cycle for jet aircraft propulsion and how is it that the different forms of jet aircraft propulsion use the basic Brayton cycle for their operation. So, let us take a look at what we are going to discuss in today's lecture. We will be talking about we will begin with the basic thermodynamic cycle which is used for jet aircraft engines something we have discussed in the last lecture. Then, one of the most common or the basic fundamental forms of the jet engine is the turbo jet engine. You have already had some introduction to turbo jet engines in some of the earlier lectures. Today, we will discuss about the cycle based on which the turbo jet engines operate. We will then discuss about turbo jet engine with after burning and then, we will talk about turbofan engines and its variants. There are different types of turbofan engines. Then, turboprop and turboshaft engines and also a very quick look at ramjet engines. We are going to discuss about ramjet engines towards the later half of this lecture series. But, we will just have spend a few minutes on discussing about ramjet engines as well. Now, as we have seen in the last lecture, Brayton cycle involves at least the ideal Brayton cycle involves four processes. The first process is in the ideal cycle, it is the compression process an isentropic compression which raises the temperature and pressure of the working fluid. At the end of the compression process, the heat addition process takes place which occurs at a constant pressure for an ideal cycle. Then, after the heat addition process, we have an expansion process and for an ideal cycle that is an isentropic expansion and then, there is a heat rejection process. So, all these four processes put together complete the Brayton cycle. Now, Brayton cycle by its very nature is a closed cycle which means that it is the same working fluid that is used continuously in the operation of the cycle. But, aircraft engines which operate based on the Brayton cycle operate in the open cycle mode that is they do not use the same fluid all over again. But, just that the for example, if an aircraft is cruising at a certain altitude, the temperature and pressure can be assumed to be more or less constant. And so, we can assume that whatever fluid is coming in is it is the same fluid that keeps coming in all over again. And so, using air standard assumptions, we can kind of approximate the jet engines to which basically are open cycle engines towards a closed cycle Brayton cycle form. So, gas turbine engines all jet engines operate on the Brayton cycle in some fundamental sense. But, of course, the actual form of these engines are much different in the sense that none of the processes are isentropic or constant pressure and so on. So, all the processes involve some form of irreversibility or the other. And therefore, these the actual engines are quite different from or the cycles are slightly different from the ideal Brayton cycle. And so, in an ideal Brayton cycle that we have discussed in the last lecture where in the cycle was assumed to have been operating in a closed cycle mode. For a jet engine it can still be assumed, but with certain approximation with air standard assumptions and so on. We can still assume that the jet engine in the jet engine also operates on the Brayton cycle mode. Now, in an ideal cycle we have seen that it does not assume any irreversibilities and that air behaves as an ideal gas with constant specific heats and no frictional losses etcetera. This will still be a show for ideal jet engine cycles, but when we discuss about the actual or real jet engine cycle which we will discuss in later lecture. We will see that we will have to account for all these variations. How we will do that is something we will discuss during that particular lecture. Now, so the most basic form of jet engine is the turbo jet engine. A turbo jet engine is the fundamental form of a jet engine and there are many variants of turbo jet engine as we see it today depending upon the different applications. For example, a civil aircraft, a passenger aircraft, at least the larger sized ones like the Airbus A380 and many other which is of course, the recent one and Boeing 737s and 737s. All of them operate using what are known as the turbofan engines and we will see why these aircraft would use a turbofan engine. It is basically because of fuel efficiency and many other reasons. Some of the smaller aircraft and helicopters use a different form of a turbo jet engine which is for a for a an aircraft these are known as turbo prop engines. That is there is a thrust component, a significant thrust component because of the propeller and in case of a helicopter the jet engine just drives the main rotor blade and the thrust and of course, the lift is also generated both by the main rotor blade. So, we can see that the jet engines are used for a variety of applications. All of them happen to be some form or some variant of the turbo jet engine. Now, when we have to analyze a turbo jet engine, if you would have something we have discussed in one of our earlier courses that is known as the cycle analysis wherein we carry out some of the analysis parametric analysis of the jet engine based on some of the design parameters that are known like compressor pressure ratio, turbine inlet temperature etcetera. And then we find out the performance of the cycle like the thrust and the efficiency is the fuel consumption etcetera based on some of these known parameters. So, we will take up the cycle analysis of real engines a little later in some one of the earlier later on lectures. Today, we will just look at the basic cycles of all these different forms of jet engines. So, one of the first cycles that we shall be discussing today is the turbo jet engine. As I mentioned turbo jet is one of the most fundamental forms of a jet engine it involves a few salient components which we will discuss shortly. And so, the ideal turbo jet engine cycle closely resembles that of a Brayton cycle. And we will see why it resembles when we take a look at the cycle of a turbo jet engine. So, here is a schematic of a turbo jet engine a typical turbo jet engine. And the different components of a turbo jet engine are also shown here. Now, the first component of a turbo jet engine is known as a diffuser. Diffuser is a component which decelerates the air to velocities which are suitable for that operation of a compressor. So, diffuser is followed by a compressor. And then the compressor delivers compressed air into the combustion chamber where ignition takes place fuel is added in the combustion chamber. And this is where heat addition in this Brayton cycle takes place. And downstream of the combustion chamber we have the turbine. And turbine expands the air which is at high pressure and temperature at the exit of the combustion chamber. And in that process it delivers work output. And this work output is basically used to drive the compressor. So, turbine in a turbo jet is mainly used for driving the compressor. At the exit of the turbine there could be a component which is known as an after burner. So, a turbo jet engine may operate in a non after burning mode or an after burning mode. We will discuss about after burning a little later. You have already seen that in one of the earlier lectures. And then the exhaust combustion products then exhaust through a nozzle which also generates thrust. So, these are the different components which constitute a turbo jet engine. And there are some numbering schemes that you can see here that each component is denoted by a certain number which is just used in the cycle analysis that we will do for the actual turbo jet engine in later lectures. Now, how does this look like in a T S diagram we will see that little later. Basically the components each of these components have a certain role to play in the whole Brayton cycle. And for example, the diffuser is part of the compression process. As we know in a Brayton cycle there are four distinct processes. A compression process, a heat addition process at constant pressure, then an expansion process and again a heat rejection process. So, the compression process in a turbo jet engine consists of two different components. One is the diffuser. So, part of the compression occurs in the diffuser. And then the rest of the compression occurs in the compressor. Well, most of the compression in fact occurs in the compressor. Only a very small fraction of the compression occurs in the diffuser. Now, after the compressor we have the combustion chamber. So, in a turbo jet engine you can see it is not really a heat addition process per say it is combustion that is taking place. But of course, in the cycle analysis we replace this combustion by a heat addition process. So, heat addition in this turbo jet engine occurs through the combustion chamber. And then after the combustion chamber is the expansion. Expansion again is split into two in a turbo jet engine. We have expansion partly taking place in the turbine and rest of the expansion taking place in the nozzle. So, compression and expansion processes involve two different components. And in a Brayton cycle there is a last process that is the heat rejection process. In a turbo jet engine there is no heat rejection per say it is an exhaust process that is combustion products are exhausted through the nozzle. And so, this process is can be assumed to be the heat rejection process of a Brayton cycle. So, let us look at these different components and their functions in step by step. The first process that is process between A to 1 is the diffusion process in the air intake that is air from far upstream is brought to the air intake with some acceleration or deceleration that is the what is known as the pre compression. And when we discuss about diffusers we will understand why there are two different steps in diffusion itself. We will discuss that later on. And then the actual diffusion takes place that is the internal diffusion or internal compression between stations 1 and 2. Compression occurs between stations 2 and 3. And we could have either an axial compressor or a centrifugal compressor we will be discussing about these types of compressors in detail later on. We then have the combustion process between stations 3 and 4. And 4 to 5 is the expansion in the turbine. So, the turbine is primarily meant here in a turbo jet engine to drive the compressor. And then there could be an after burning taking place between stations 5 and 6. And 6 to 7 is acceleration and exhaustion of the products through the nozzle. So, 6 to 7 is the nozzle process in the Brayton cycle or the turbo jet cycle. Now, on a T S diagram this is how an ideal turbo jet cycle would look like. It looks very similar to that of an ideal Brayton cycle just that the compression process is split into two processes here and so is the expansion process. There are two processes you can see here. So, process A to 2 is compression in the air intake. And from 2 to 3 is compression taking place in the compressor. So, process between A and 3 is the compression process in an ideal turbo jet engine. This is an isentropic process. So, isentropic compression from station A to station 3. And then between stations 3 and 4 we have the heat addition or the combustion process. And so that is in a turbo jet ideal turbo jet cycle it is a constant pressure process. Between 4 and 7 is the expansion process. Part of it is in the turbine that is between 4 and 5. And between 5 and 7 is the nozzle exhaust occurring through the nozzle. So, process between 4 to 7 is the expansion process in the nozzle. So, these are the different processes which constitute an ideal turbo jet cycle. And we will discuss about real turbo jet cycles in the couple of lectures from now, where we will see what are the deviations that that can occur in a real turbo jet. And why is it that it is different from an ideal cycle. And what difference does it make to the performance of jet engine. So, we will discuss about some of these aspects in our later lectures. Now, as we have seen turbo jet can operate in two different modes that is without after burning and with after burning. We have discussed about after burning in some detail in one of the earlier lectures. After burning is basically a process wherein you can add additional heat or fuel in as in the case of turbo jet to increase the temperature of the combustion products to much higher temperatures. And therefore, one can gain additional thrust by adding additional fuel. As we know that the air to fuel ratio in jet engines is substantially higher than this stoichiometric ratio, which means that there is much more air that is available after combustion which is which can still take part in combustion. Therefore, after the turbine exit there is substantial amount of air or oxygen which is still present. And therefore, it is possible for us to add additional fuel there without having to actually ignite because the temperatures are substantially high. So, simply by injecting additional fuel we can further raise the temperature at the nozzle entry. And therefore, the pressure as well and this much pressure is available for expansion through the nozzle. And therefore, one can achieve additional thrust which could be used for which. So, after burning turbo jet engines are basically used in aircraft in military aircraft especially when they need to accelerate to supersonic speed and cruise at supersonic speed and also carry out certain maneuvers. So, after burning is not something that is used in civil aircraft in turbo fans and so on. So, it is usually used in a turbo jet engine. So, with after burning there is a cycle which resembles a Brayton cycle with reheating. So, we have already discussed about Brayton cycle with reheating in the last lecture. Reheating is a process where we add additional heat after the first expansion process which is exactly what happens in the case of an after burning turbo jet engine that is we add additional fuel and raise the temperature to a much higher level and expand all over again. So, turbo jet engine with after burning closely resembles a Brayton cycle with reheat. We will take a look at the turbo jet with after burning or reheat as well. And so basically after burning is something which is used when the in an aircraft needs substantial increment in thrust for example, when it has to accelerate and cruise at supersonic speeds. And this is possible because the air to fuel ratio in gas turbine engines are much higher than the stoichiometric values leaving sufficient amount of air which is available for combustion. And the other aspect is that after the turbine there are no more rotating components and there is no more temperature restriction as such and therefore, it is possible for us to have much higher temperatures than the turbine inlet temperature. At the turbine inlet the temperatures are limited because the turbine blades have certain temperature restrictions because it is also rotating at very high speeds and so it cannot have we cannot have temperatures which exceed a certain limit which is not a restriction in the case of an after burner. So, it is possible to have higher temperatures than turbine inlet temperature. So, an ideal turbo jet with after burning would look something like what is shown here. So, the first process the compression process is the same as that of non after burning turbo jet. It consists of two distinct processes or compressions one is in the intake or the diffuser and the second process between two and three is the compressor three to four is the combustion process which is the heat addition four to five is the expansion in the turbine. And after the turbine exit is the reheating process or the after burning process additional fuel is added and so we have a process which resembles the heat addition here between three and four. So, six to six a is the after burning process six a to seven a is expansion in the nozzle. So, here you can see that because the temperatures at the turbine inlet or turbine exit is now being raised to a much higher level there is additional amount of energy or enthalpy drop which is available for expansion through the nozzle. And this is what results in additional thrust which one can achieve during after burning process. So, if after burning was not to be there the nozzle would have only this much enthalpy drop for expansion and now there is an additional enthalpy drop because of heat addition which has taken place during after burning process. So, an ideal turbo jet engine with after burning is basically the Brayton cycle with reheat. So, Brayton cycle with reheat will have a cycle which is very similar to what we have just discussed about turbo jet engine with after burning. So, what we have discussed now is one of the most basic forms of the jet engines. And that is the turbo jet engine and we have also discussed about the ideal cycle of a turbo jet engine which very closely resembles a Brayton cycle and ideal Brayton cycle. It has all the four processes as what a Brayton cycle would have. But the difference is of course in the last process which is a heat rejection process which is not really existing in a jet engine because it is an open cycle process. But the exhaust through the nozzle can be approximated to that of a heat rejection process. Now, one of the issues with turbo jet engine is the high exhaust velocity and resultant high exhaust velocity is something which will affect one of the efficiency parameters which we have discussed that is the propulsion efficiency. So, propulsion efficiency is directly related to the velocity ratios the exhaust velocity to the flight speed ratio. And so, if you have to increase the propulsion efficiency it is necessary that we have an effective exhaust velocity which is not very high. And so, in the case of a turbo jet a pure jet engine the exhaust velocities can be quite high. And therefore, that affects the propulsion efficiency substantially. So, one of the ways of improving the propulsion efficiency is to try and reduce the effective jet exhaust velocity. And so, one way of doing that is to add another component to the basic turbo jet engine which will result in some reduction in the effective jet exhaust velocity. And one of the ways of doing that is to add a fan. So, ahead of a compressor we now put a fan which will generate a greater mass flow. And this mass flow will be directed around the basic turbo jet core and this then later on mixes with the nozzle exhaust. And so, this form or variant of a turbo jet engine is known as a turbo fan engine you have already seen this in some of the earlier lectures. And so, turbo fan engine again can operate in different modes we will see at least two different modes of operation of a turbo jet turbo fan engine the unmixed form and the mixed turbo fan modes. And so, turbo fan engines have what is known as a bypass ratio that is the mass flow passing through the bypass duct divided by the core mass flow is known as the bypass ratio. So, some of the modern jet engines which are used in turbo fan engines which are used in transport aircraft typically have bypass ratios of the order of 5 or 6 which means that the bypass mass flow the cold mass flow relatively cold mass flow is 5 times the mass flow of the core engine. And so, there are two advantages to this one is of course, that the effective jet exhaust velocities will be lower which means propulsion efficiencies can be higher. The other advantage is that this additional mass itself can generate a thrust. And therefore, you get an additional thrust and also a slightly better propulsion efficiency which means that the overall efficiency can also be better than that of a pure turbo jet engine. So, the need for a turbo fan engine is basically to reduce the effective exhaust velocity. And therefore, we add a fan which has a larger diameter than the compressor. And therefore, that generates higher mass flow than the core mass flow. So, this ratio basically the mass cold mass flow to the hot mass flow is known as the bypass ratio. And so, for the same speed range turbo jet turbo fan engines will have a higher propulsion efficiency than turbo jet engines basically because the exhaust velocities are lower. And therefore, it obviously means that we get a better propulsion efficiency than a turbo jet a pure turbo jet engine. Of course, there is another advantage of turbo fan engines in the sense that turbo fan engines generate lesser noise jet noise of a turbo fan engine is lower than a turbo jet engine. This is again related to the jet exhaust velocities because a very high speed jet when it expands into cold ambient leads to a lot of noise. Whereas, in the case of a turbo fan engine the speed of the jet effective speed of the jet is lower. And therefore, the noise of the jet noise of such engines are lower than that of the pure jet engines. So, that is another advantage of turbo fan engines because in this in the current scenario the noise restrictions are also getting stringent every year. And so, aircraft engine manufacturers need to stick to certain noise norms in the sense that the noise levels of jet engines need to be lower than certain levels which have been stipulated. And so, every few years these norms are revised and it gets stricter every time it is revised. So, it is necessary for engine manufacturers to adhere to all these norms. And so, turbo fan engines have that additional advantage as well because these aircraft have to take off and land in airports which may be close to civilian regions. And so, it is necessary that the noise levels are under control. So, let us now look at a schematic of a turbo fan engine one of the forms of a turbo fan engine and will immediately see what makes it different from a turbo jet engine. So, this is one schematic that I have of a turbo fan engine. This is basically an unmixed turbo fan engine I will explain what is unmixed shortly. And you can see that the fundamental difference between this engine which is shown an unmixed turbo fan and a pure turbo jet is the first component that you can see here well rather the second component that is a fan. In a turbo jet this fan was non existent and therefore, after the diffuser we had a compressor the combustion chamber the turbine and the nozzle. In a turbo fan we have this additional component and so, this fan diameter as you can see is much larger than that of the compressor. And so, this will be able to generate a greater mass flow which will pass through this bypass duct. So, there is a bypass duct which surrounds the core engine and then this bypass duct will exhaust through a secondary nozzle in the case of an unmixed turbo fan. And so, after the diffuser we have a fan part of the fan mass flow goes through the compressor, but a larger mass goes through the bypass duct which gets exhausted through the secondary nozzle. Then we have the usual turbo fan here for the turbo jet for the core engine that is a compressor then a combustion chamber then expansion in the turbine followed by the primary nozzle. So, these are the various components of turbo fan and unmixed turbo fan and at least the core engine here closely resembles a pure turbo jet engine. Now, what about the second variant of this engine we have a mixed turbo fan here. In a mixed turbo fan you can see that the there is only a single exhaust from such an engine that is the bypass mass flow mixes with the turbine exhaust before it exhausts through a common nozzle. Whereas, in the unmixed turbo fan we had two separate nozzles one was a bypass nozzle or the secondary nozzle and the primary nozzle which was from the core engine the hot nozzle. In a mixed turbo fan there is a single nozzle and the bypass mass flow mixes with the turbine exit mass flow before it gets exhausted through a common nozzle. So, these are two variants or two different types of turbo fan engines. So, turbo fan engines can operate can exist in these two different modes or forms. For transport aircraft it is the first form that is the unmixed turbo fan which is more commonly used and in some of the recent military aircraft we have the mixed turbo fan with a very low bypass which is something we have seen in some of the earlier lectures that very low bypass turbo fan of course, it very difficult to say whether it is a turbo fan engine, but it has a small bypass with a very small mass flow and therefore, it gets classified as a turbo fan engine which is mixed and a single nozzle exhausting. And what are the different processes which are involved in a turbo fan engine well it is very similar to that of a turbo jet most of the processes are common except for the first few processes which involve the fan and the bypass nozzle and so on. So, the different processes let us say in an unmixed turbo fan will be the following we have the diffusion taking place between stations A and 2 prime and then we have compression in the fan between 2 prime to 3 prime compression in the nozzle well compression in the compressor which could be axial or centrifugal is between stations 2 and 3. So, 2 to 3 is a compression in the compressor then there is a combustion chamber between 3 and 4 and between 4 and 5 is a turbine and 5 to 6 of course, there is if it is unmixed there is very little chance that there is any after burning here, but in a mixed turbo fan there could be an after burner as well and between 6 and 7 is the primary nozzle and the bypass duct also has a nozzle which is the secondary nozzle and that also generates a substantial amount of thrust basically because of the mass flow that is the fan generates. So, the different processes in a turbo fan engine as compared to that of a turbo jet engine is the differences are basically because of the presence of the fan and the bypass duct and in the case of let us say an unmixed turbo fan or even a mixed turbo fan sometimes it is also possible that we have we may have to split the turbine into different stages to enable us to drive these the fan and the compressor at different speeds. Because the fan has a much larger diameter than that of a compressor therefore, in a unmixed turbo fan it is necessary for us to drive the fan and compressors at different speeds and so one of the ways of doing that is to use a multi spool engine you have already seen what is multi spool engine what are the different forms of those could be twin spool or a three spool turbo fan which means that the fan is driven by one of the stages of the turbine usually the last stages of a turbine that is the low pressure turbine and the compressor is driven by the high pressure turbine. And you could if it is a three spool turbo fan the compressor itself is split into to the low pressure compressor the LPC and the high pressure compressor the HPC which are driven by again two different stages of turbine and one of the stages of the turbine driving the fan. So, these are basically meant to drive the different components at different speeds because obviously it is not possible for us to drive all of them at the same speed because the diameters are quite different and so if we were to drive for example, the fan at the same speed as that of the compressor then the tip speed of the fan obviously would be much higher than that of the compressor and so there are other issues like shock losses and so on which will come into picture we may be discussing this when we discuss about compressors in detail later on. So, it is for this that we have to split and drive the these components at different speeds and so in unmixed turbofan this is one of the issues that these may have to be driven at different speeds. Now, if you look at the thermodynamic cycle of a turbofan as compared to a turbojet they look more or less very similar except that we would have as one more cycle for present for the bypass stream because for an unmixed turbofan the core stream and the bypass streams are entirely different or separate and therefore, the bypass process itself is entirely different. So, and so we could have another cycle which is meant for the bypass stream and there is no heat addition occurring there and so it is basically not part of the core bypass the core Brayton cycle mode whereas, the core engine is very similar to that of a turbojet and so the cycle is very much the same as what we have discussed. And what we will also be discussing may be in one of the later lectures is about the how is it that we can analyze a real turbofan engine that is a turbofan engine which has all those losses and irreversibilities accounted for and how can we carry out a cycle analysis of such engines and get estimates about their performance in terms of thrust and efficiencies and fuel consumptions and so on. We will discuss that in one of our later lectures and so the next set of engines that we will be talking about are the turboprop and the turbo shaft engines. Turboprop engines as you know is a class of engines which generate substantial shaft power and there could be of course, turboprops which also generate nozzle thrust besides the majority through the shaft power itself. Turboshaft engines on the other hand it generate only shaft power and these are used in helicopters and the shaft power which these engines generate is used to drive the main rotor blade and in a turboprop engine the what we aim to do is to incorporate the advantages of a propeller based engine into a jet engine. As we know the propeller based engines have very high propulsion efficiencies and the propulsion efficiencies of pure jet engines are much lower as compared to propeller based engines. So if we were to combine the both these engines together and see if we can get a better propulsion efficiency by combining these two. So turboprop engine is one way of trying to use the advantages of the propeller type of engines and the jet engines and therefore, turboprop engines have higher propulsion efficiencies as compared to pure jet engines. And turboshaft engines on the other hand of course, are do not generate in a nozzle thrust the primarily generate the shaft power. But both turboprops as well as turboshaft engines are meant to operate at lower speeds as compared to pure jet engines and they have applications at relatively lower speeds and lower altitudes as compared to pure jet engines. Now this is a schematic of a typical turboprop engine and let us take a look at what are the different features or components of a turboprop engine. So one of the most prominent components of a turboprop engine is the propeller. So this as you can see here is the propeller and propeller is driven by a turbine which is usually referred to as power turbine or sometimes also referred to as a free turbine. And the shaft power from the turbine is transmitted to the propeller usually through a gear box because it may have been necessary to reduce the speed of the turbine exit shaft because propellers may not be running at very high speeds. And propellers may also have certain pitch control mechanisms if they have to be altered during flight during the different changes in altitudes and flight conditions. And then the other components which constitute this engine are similar to that of a jet engine. There is a compressor and then a combustion chamber and then from the exit of the combustion chamber there is a nozzle, well there is a turbine and this turbine is usually referred to as the compressor turbine because it drives the compressor. And from the exhaust of this turbine there is a power turbine, this power turbine is meant to drive the propeller and then exhaust of this power turbine goes through a nozzle which may generate some amount of thrust. And so the difference between a turboprop and a turbo shaft is basically that in a turbo shaft engine this the thrust developed by the nozzle is negligible and so a propeller is replaced by the main rotor blade and so the power turbine drives the main rotor blade and there is negligible nozzle thrust generated by turbo shaft engines. But the rest of the cycle and the components remain the same. So here again you can see that many of the components are common to that of a turbojet engine like compressor combustion chamber turbine. So these components are present even in a turbojet it is also present in a turbo shaft turbo fan engine and obviously it is also there in these engines that is turbo prop and the turbo shaft engine. So many of these components are common and the difference between these variants of the basic turbojet is in the presence of certain additional components like the fan and the bypass duct and the secondary nozzle in the case of the turbo fan engines and the presence of the propeller or the main rotor blade in the case of turbo prop or turbo shaft engines. So these components basically make these variants of pure turbojet engine. Now both turbo probes and turbo shafts have as we have seen a separate turbine which is known as a free turbine or a power turbine which drives the propeller in the case of turbo prop or the main rotor blade in the case of a turbo shaft engine and so this particular turbine is known as a free turbine or a power turbine because it is not driving any of the compressor stages it is driving just the propeller or the main rotor blade. And because of limitations in the maximum speed that these propellers or the rotor blades can rotate it would be normally required to reduce the turbine shaft speeds to lower values and that is why we normally use gear boxes in turbo probes and in turbo shaft engines. And in the case of turbo props in sometimes there could also be a certain amount of thrust which is developed by the nozzle and so there could be a nozzle thrust developed in turbo prop which is not really present in turbo shaft engines because turbo shaft engines primarily develop their thrust because of the presence of the main rotor blade. Now in the case of turbo prop engines basically the thrust may consist of two components one because of the propeller thrust and the other is the nozzle thrust and therefore the total thrust is the sum of these two the nozzle and the propeller thrust and in the case of turbo fan engines again the unmixed turbo fans very similar thing happens there is a thrust component because of the bypass duct and there is also a thrust component because of the core mass flow total thrust will be the sum of the bypass and the core thrusts. Now in the case of turbo prop or turbo shaft engine one of the differences between this and the basic turbo jet engine is the free turbine that is free turbine is one of the components which distinguishes turbo prop and turbo shaft engine from a turbo jet engine. And so if you look at the free turbine here this is the free turbine that is shown which is present between stations 5 and 6 and so there is an enthalpy drop which is occurring in the free turbine and that is between stations 5 and 6 so the total enthalpy between stations 5 and 6 drops and you can see there is a pressure drop total pressure drop as well between 5 and 6 and the rest of the expansion occurring between stations 6 and 7 which is the nozzle the case of turbo shaft of course 6 and 7 are the same points and therefore the expansion is entirely between 5 and 6 and which is what it would be in the case of a turbo shaft engine and so that is one of the differences between the turbo prop and the turbo shaft in the sense that in turbo props it is also possible to have certain amount of thrust certain expansion which continues after the free turbine in the nozzle. So, certain amount of thrust is still developed by the nozzle whereas, in the case of turbo shaft the entire enthalpy drop occurring during the expansion process occurs just across the turbine stages which is the compressor turbine as well as the free turbine stages. So, that is once the expansion is no longer split into the compressor and the nozzle here in the case of turbo shaft it is entirely through the turbine exhaust and so that is what it makes a difference between pure turbo jet and these propeller or turbo shaft engines the presence of the free turbine. So, so far we have been discussing about jet engines which involve rotating components like in the case of in fact all these engines we have been discussing have compressors and turbines which are rotating in nature. So, all these components all these forms of engines have turbo machines and so these are one class of engines jet engines which use turbo machines for their operation and there is another simple form of a jet engine which we will discuss now which are known as ramjets and ramjets do not have any of these rotating components. So, without the presence of any of these rotating components it is still possible to develop thrust with certain conditions we will discuss and so you may wonder how we said that it is possible to have a jet engine which can develop thrust without having any of these rotating components. Well it sounds very simple and schematically also it looks very simple, but its operation is not as simple as what we would expect it to be and so ramjets are the simplest form of jet engines in the sense that they do not have any rotating components they do not have compressors and therefore, they do not have any turbines, but they do have air intakes combustion chambers and nozzles. So, using these three components simple components it is possible to generate thrust and we will see why you said that it is in spite of being so simple it is not commonly used we will discuss that little later. So, ramjets are the simplest form of jet engines and they basically have just three processes occurring a compression process occurring in the intake of the diffuser, a combustion process occurring in the combustion chamber and an expansion process through the nozzle. So, using three different thermodynamic processes it is still possible to develop thrust. So, ramjets operate based on this so ramjets are supposed to be most efficient only when they operated supersonic speeds and the basic principle behind the ramjet is that when air is decelerated from a very high Mach number to very low subsonic Mach numbers it results in substantial increase in pressure and temperature. We must we have discussed this earlier in the earlier course and if you have gone to gas dynamics course you would know by now that if air is decelerated from very high Mach number to very low Mach number this requires of course, the use of shocks and so on. There is a substantial increase in the pressure and temperature and if that is the case you do not really need a compressor because the air is getting decelerated anyway without using compressors and there is an increase in pressure and temperature. So, with this in mind you do not really need a compressor because pressure and temperature has already been raised and since you do not need any compressor you do not really need a turbine as well because turbine is basically meant to drive a compressor and if you do not need a compressor you do not need a turbine as well. Now, so let us look at a schematic of a ramjet I mentioned that it is very simple and it is indeed simple to look at the schematic that it consists of a diffuser, a combustion chamber and a nozzle. Of course, the diffuser is slightly complicated it is a supersonic diffuser it has one component which is known as a supersonic compression and then followed by a subsonic compression. At the inlet of the combustion chamber there are injectors fuel injectors which initiate combustion and there are flame holders to ensure that the combustion is stable and then at the exit of the combustion chamber we have a nozzle. So, this type of diffuser geometry which consists of supersonic compression and subsonic compression we will discuss this later on when we take up diffuser analysis in detail. So, this is a schematic of a ramjet and since it consists of only three processes and no turbo machines that makes it design of ramjet very simple at least theoretically and so even on a cycle if you look at ramjet cycle it is very similar to that of pure turbojet cycle or a Brayton cycle consisting of a compression process, a heat addition process for ideal ramjet it is at constant pressure and an isentropic expansion. So, with these three different components it is possible to achieve thrust using a ramjet but the precondition for operation of a ramjet is that it has to operate at a certain speed before ramjets can themselves be operational. Because ramjets do not have compressors and turbines a stationary ramjet cannot generate any thrust it cannot operate at all. So, for a ramjet to begin its operation it must be taken to a certain speed because it ramjets require that the incoming air can get compressed on its own by virtue of the diffuser geometry. So, if that has to happen ramjets themselves have to be taken to a certain speed before which they can start operation and ramjets generate maximum thrust at very high supersonic speeds of around Mach 3. So, at around Mach number of 3 is when ramjets operate most efficiently and generate the maximum thrust. And so, below Mach 3 the the performance is suboptimal and at very low Mach numbers ramjets can hardly operate on its own. So, ramjets need to be taken to a substantially high Mach number before which they can begin to operate. So, a T S diagram of a ramjet cycle an ideal ramjet cycle would look like this. There is an isentropic compression taking place in the intake followed by combustion at constant pressure and then there is an isentropic expansion through the nozzle between stations 4 and 7. So, this is how an ideal ramjet cycle would be very simple cycle and resembles a Brayton cycle very closely. Now, in a ramjet engine there are no compressors and turbines and therefore, its analysis is quite simple because you do not have too many complex geometries present in ramjet. And so, ramjets cannot generate any static thrust basically because ramjets depend upon ram compression without the use of compressors. And therefore, they cannot generate any static thrust ramjets have to be taken to sufficiently high speeds there is certain speed beyond which only then ramjets can begin to generate thrust of its own. So, ramjets have to be taken to a certain speed before which they can start generating thrust. So, that is the basic limitation of a ramjet that it cannot generate thrust a static thrust on its own. So, what we have discussed today is the different type are the different types of jet engines. We started our discussion with the basic type of a jet engine the turbojet engine and different forms of the turbojet engine. Then we have also discussed about turbojet engine with after burning and then the variance of a turbojet engine. We started with turbofan and different forms of the turbofan engine the mixed and unmixed turbofan engines. We also discussed about turboprop engines and the turbo shaft engines. And then of course, we also discussed about ramjet engines which are the simplest form of a jet engine. So, these are some of the topics we have discussed in today's lecture. And we will continue with our discussion on jet engines in the next lecture as well. In the next lecture, we will be discussing about the different components which constitute a jet engine and how can we account for the performance of these components. We will discuss about the air intake or the diffuser, the compressor or the fan, combustion chamber, turbine and the nozzle. So, these are the different salient components of a jet engine. We will discuss about the performance of a performance parameters which need to be considered for cycle analysis of an actual jet engine. And so, we will discuss about these in our next lecture and subsequently we will take up the cycle analysis of actual jet engines. We will be carrying out cycle analysis for all of all these jet engines that we have discussed and we will also account for the component performance variation occurring across all these different components. So, we will take up discussion of these topics during the next lecture.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v61GsHKev-g", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

How are you feeling after the procedure? I feel great. I really do. I'm so glad I got it done now and out of the way. And just made me realize how good I was not feeling the months leading up to that. Just wasn't quite myself. Just had to kind of reach for it a little more than normal every day. And you know, since I came out of surgery, I almost instantly felt like a different guy again. So that was it's really nice. And the outpouring of support and people that have reached out to me has been really touching. We heard you with Meredith the other day, Aaron, and sharing some of these thoughts. But what made you finally say, hey, I need to do something about this right now? Well, back home in Connecticut, I felt like I needed to get checked up. Just I've been getting my heart checked on now for 30 years, knowing what I've been through in the past and stuff. So I just wanted to make sure I went through some checkups. And everything was checking out well until I wore the monitor. And they realized my heart rate was low and not rising properly. And I think it was a classic case of the pacemaker being needed. So I had a lot of conversations with my doctor in California who I've known for 30 years, who I know really well. He kind of talked me through it. And so there was a level of confidence that, A, I needed it. But that it was going to really make a difference for me. And it certainly has. Well, that is great to hear. And it's great to see your energy out there and know you are feeling better. I'd imagine also made you feel pretty good watching your starting pitcher today. What do you think of Jordan Montgomery? Yeah, another really good step for him. Two innings last time out in Sarasota. And then the command, just the pounding of the strike zone, really in control in his three innings there. Even the inning where he got into a little bit of trouble with some soft contact against him, he's able to not flinch and just work his way out of that. So I thought all in all, a really good day's work to get to his three innings, but also really pitch efficient as well. Yeah, Aaron, welcome back. We were all pulling for you and feeling for you and thought you did a great job of handling everything, keeping everybody at ease, including your team, to understand what was going on and educate them. Obviously, when you came back, you're right back into the thick of things. And then you've got a weather day and you've got to make a quick call. Garrett Cole's not going to go down. We're going to do a simulated game. How did that work out for Garrett Cole? Yeah, I think it was good. We got with Garrett and kind of gave him the lay of the land and ultimately let him make the call. Like, do you want to play around with the weather? Do you just want to go ahead and get it done? I think at this point in spring, I think Garrett made a wise decision to just be able to get his work in, knowing it was just going to be a two-inning situation. He actually ended up getting close to 50 pitches, which was good. But I think later in the spring, where you're talking about four and five innings, maybe more of a decision, but I thought it was good to get it in and out of the way and get him built up. Also allowed Jamison to start that game down there. So, all in all, with some of the weather issues we had, I was happy that our guys were able to get the proper work in. Speaking of Jamison Tyone, Aaron, what stood out most to you about watching his star yesterday? Well, you know, coming off the first start, and obviously you're coming back from injury and your new team, so you just want to get all these firsts out of the way. And I thought in his first start, he was really good. He threw seven pitches, so it was almost like he almost didn't break a sweat out there. We sent him down to the bullpen to finish off. And then for him to go and have a real clean first inning, give up a couple hard hit balls and get into a little bit of trouble in his second inning, where it drove his pitch count up. You know, he had to hold runners. He had to get on the same page as far as just, you know, sign sequencing with a runner on second base. Things you got to do and get used to. And then execute pitches when you're in a little bit of a jam. And all the while, just taking another step in his buildup. So I thought it was a really good day for him. Two straight strikeouts here from Licky, who is ahead of Harper now, 0-1. Aaron, how about John-Carlo stand today? I mean, two just rocket doubles, over 109 miles per hour off the bat. And you've talked about, you think the version we saw in October last year could be even better than the MVP version of Stan. What about the abats, do you think is an even elevated caliber? Yeah, I've felt that way, guys, really since even 2019. I just feel like he's gone to another level as far as his preparation, his mindset, his understanding of him, the league, what guys are trying to do to him. I just feel like he's really good at focusing. So while, you know, he's a little bit older than whatever he was 27 when he won the MVP, I think the knowledge that he has while still being a pretty young guy, if he can, again, the important thing is making sure he's posting and getting out there 140, 145, whatever times. And if he does that, I'm really confident that some massive results could be there. Gary Sanchez also off to an excellent start this spring. How important is that component there and Gary getting off to a good start this season? Yeah, look, I don't want to overstate it, you know, because, you know, I think we look too much into these things sometimes, but certainly coming in and getting some immediate results coming off of last season is definitely nice. But I love his work. I love how he's looked behind the plate. I love the work he's been putting in each and every day, the ownership he's taken of his work and excited about where he's at and what he's going to do for us. Well, Lucas Licky strikes out the side, which means we don't get any more time with you, Aaron, but thank you so much. Jerry Lane says hi. All right, see you guys.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6pBYtOTQNI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

This week has been a massive week with the Canadian Open just finishing only a couple of hours ago. And of course Cincinnati coming up next week another big tournament for the ATP WTA US Open around the corner. Let's go have a look at the results from the Canadian Open last week. So in the two events last week on the ATP and the WTA in Toronto we had the women's event with Simone Halla beating Haddad Maier 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 in a very exciting final and both players got a boost in the rankings for their wins. And over in Montreal we had the men's event for the Canadian Open with Karina Buster beating Hubee Hercatch 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 in a very unlikely final because we did have a lot of good players last week and Buster got a massive boost in the rankings after winning his first Masters 1000 event. So very interesting results last week and with a lot of upsets happening the rankings were affected. Okay, let's start with the WTA rankings for this week and a lot of changes to the top 10. But Egas Fiontex, she stays on top despite having a poor week last week. She'll be looking to rebound next week. Consummate stays at number two for now, but we had a little bit of a change in that top five with Bodosa going down one spot to number four and Zachary going up one spot to number three with Onstubur staying at number five. Now those four players in particular from two to five There's only 500 points between them in the rankings. So next week Cincinnati going to be crucial for all those ladies But the big changes for this week have come down the bottom half of the top 10 with Samona Hallop Going up nine spots back into the top 10 at number six after winning in Toronto She pushes down a lot of players including Sabalenka who goes down to number seven, Pagula goes down to number eight, Mugaruta down to number nine, Kazakina down to number ten, Emerotic Kano completely drops out of the top 10 after a great week from Samona Hallop and again just like the top five between six and 13 in the rankings. There's only 500 points between the bunch of them. So again next week in Cincinnati is going to be so crucial having a look at the race to the final now and Again more changes happening But Fiontex still the only player to qualify for the finals staying at number one. Jabir stays at number two But Kazakina she drops down three spots number six with Pagula jumping up two spots to number three after a great week in Toronto making the semi-finals. Cocoa Goff goes down to number five But Samona Hallop with 900 points to her name. She jumps up into the top four Nine spots higher than last week with the win in Toronto So a lot of changes up there in that part of the rankings and the race of the finals. Coming in number seven is Maria Sacrissi stays there Pelle but also got bumped down two spots to number eight after both Pagula and Hallop doing so well. Benchage stays at number nine and Kudamatova gets bumped down to number ten With Daniel Collins dropping out of the top ten completely So again that mainly thanks to Hallop and of course Pagula having a good week too They rise up the rankings pushing a lot of players down We didn't have a great week having a look at the players that have gone up in the rankings outside the top ten No surprise her dad mayor very very good week last week And she gets a massive boost in the rankings eight spots higher than last week to a Korea high Number 16 in the world and Zheng also having a really good last week ten spots higher than last week up to number 41 in the world, which is a Korea high for her and she's on the brink of being seated at the US Open Definitely one to watch for the future plays have gone down in the rankings the two players that got to the final last year Pushka were in Georgie. They both made the final of this event last year Pushka has gone down three spots to number 17 So she did regain a lot of points But Georgie who won the event last year couldn't replicate that and she's dropped down 36 Spots to number 65 in the world So it was a tough week for Georgie to try and defend that massive title and push go It did a good job making the semi-finals so she didn't get pushed down as far But but these two ladies will look to rebound next week in Cincinnati going over the ATP rankings now and not too many Changes on the men's side despite all the madness that happened with Daniel Medvedev staying at number one Just for this week. We'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks Alexander's very is at number two with Rafa Nadal at number three Alcredes is still at number four But step it off Sidney pass. He's gone down two spots to number seven Kasparud going up two spots to number five After rude made the semi-finals and Sidney pass lost points from last year when he made a good run in Canada So those two swap positions with Djokovic staying at number six right in the middle there But of course Djokovic at the US Open in a few weeks if he doesn't play he'll lose a lot of points there Rubelev still stays at number eight with those you earlier seem staying at nine who be her catch staying at number ten But remember this week Rafa's back and also a lot of the players in the top ten lost this week some big upsets with Medvedev and Alcredes Sidney pass Rubelev They'll be looking to rebound having a look at the ATP race of the finals now And not too many changes with Rafa still at number one and he could qualify for the ATP finals next week Officially if he gains a couple of hundred points Alcredes stays at number two with Sidney pass at number three rude still at number four Medvedev at five his very of stays at six but Andre Rubelev He's dropped down to number eight making way for Ojali Asim who made a quarter final last week in Canada Rubelev had a pretty bad upset in the first couple of rounds and who be her catch He comes in at number nine pushing down Taylor fritz the number ten and Novak Djokovic falls out of the top ten Completely due to not playing so her catch had a really really good week and got rewarded in the rankings with a lot of points But again Cincinnati expect more changes because it's very very close Between all of those players in the top ten with Rafa being the exception having won a couple of slams Having all the players that have gone up in the rankings this week on the ATP and Carinio Buster He has gone up nine spots to number 14 in the world after the biggest trophy of his life winning in Canada And Nick Kairos he is now going to be seated at this stage at the US Open his number 28 in the world nine spots High than last week after a quarter final run as long as he stays in the top 30 for another week Kairos will be seated Which means he doesn't have to play any of the big boys in the first couple of rounds players That went down in the rankings this week outside the top ten we had Riley O'Pelka last year's finalist from Canada He dropped down nine spots to number 26 and John Isner. He's dropped down 17 spots to number 50 So the two tallest players in the top hundred both losing a lot of points this week dropping down on the rankings because of it So there you have it those are the rankings for the week and I told you last week It was going to be crazy and we had some crazy results a lot of upsets a lot of players On the brink of doing something great in the rankings maybe career high rankings on the line They just couldn't make the results happen this week But we have another big event next week Cincinnati It's worth a thousand points gonna be a lot on the line and again Like I said about 500 points on the women's side will decide a lot of those rankings So let me know down in the comments below. What do you reckon? Do you think this is going to be the rankings for the u.s. Open or do you think we're gonna get a big change next week? A lot of players have to redeem themselves and of course There's a good it might be a change at the top Rafa Nadal could be world number one if Daniel Mehvedev doesn't make the quarter finals and Rafa wins sincey And Rafa will be number one going into the u.s. Open if that is the case So a lot on the line for a lot of players just ahead of the u.s. Open	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6uELZFDyck", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCSFgCrIuYLg0nzvi_M7lvUQ	Quick Review - Iteration and Loops in Python		null	2020-08-20T19:38:05	2024-02-14T18:45:36	543	V6rvk75mg7g	Hi everyone a quick refresher on while loops and for loops in Python while loops and for loops are used to Do iteration which is the process of repeatedly performing some sort of operation? And it's important to know where these two styles of loops are most appropriate They are interchangeable and you can do the same thing with both of them But one is just built for they're built for different things the while loop is built for when you need to loop Until a condition is met. So you want to do things over and over until Something tells you to stop so for example in this This little while loop here. We're going to loop until x is until this condition Here which we call the loop condition until this thing is false So the while loop this block of code keeps going until this becomes false, right? So when we start out with x gets to X is to which is less than 10. So it proceeds in the loop x gets x times 2 So x will take on the value for We'll print out that for will come back up to the beginning of the loop is for less than 10. Yes double the size of x print it out 8 8 less than 10. Yes, okay double it to 16 print it again 16 less than 10. No, we stop immediately and kind of go to whatever's down here That's a while loop looping until whatever the loop condition is met The other style is for loops for loops are more appropriate for when you have a List or a sequence which and strings are sequences. So are tuples and some other things and you want to do something To each item in that list Colloquially we would call that a for each loop, right? So you want to do something to every item in a list or when you want to do something a Certain number of times. Okay, so that's kind of the distinction between when you want to use a while loop when you want to use a for loop I'm gonna switch over to the code and Just illustrate a couple of other things. Let me grab this code here I'm gonna switch over to pie charm in a file that I'm working in and paste in this code, right? So if we run this We can see the output down here prints out for Because it prints after doubling it for 8 16 it prints And then it checks that condition and then it's done. In fact, let me just add a little statement here. It says Done okay so One note about while loops This stop condition What Python is doing is it's checking is this true if it is true do this stuff if it's false Stop and go down here. Okay, this condition can be complex We can do more with it, right? So let me change this to while X is less than a thousand just for the heck of it Now this thing's gonna print a lot more right multiplying multiplying multiplying But we can make this condition complex. In other words, we can have more than one condition so let me have another condition where I've got y is equal to five and Inside my loop what I'm gonna do is subtract one from five Every time I go through the loop, so we'll go five four three two one and Beyond actually at this point but Now I'm gonna include why in my condition, right? So now I've got this kind of complex condition here if it makes you feel comfortable You can put some parentheses around this you don't need them And now so basically what this loop is gonna do is it's gonna loop until this thing is As long as this thing is X is less than a thousand and Y is greater than zero another way of looking at that is This loop will stop When X is greater than equal to zero one thousand or Y is less than or equal to zero, okay So why is going down by one every time so this ought to go regardless of how big I make this number Only five times one two three four five because the Y side of this is evaluating It's coming up false before the X side of it is as well. Okay, so One more thing. Let me switch back over here Let me grab the four loops out of my code and I'll paste them in and You can stop here and pause the video copy this stuff in if you need it Couple one little trick I want to show you here. So if we run this Still getting my while loop output, let me comment this out So it's not printing my while loops anymore Let me print out the first for loop So dogs is a list of strings chow poodle corgi for I In dogs print I what's happening for this is it does for each element in This list of dogs I will take on the value of the first item the second item the third item Hey print it out Right So that's what's going on there. I can also do this Another way which if you're coming from Java land Yeah, say hi to my wife in the background if you're coming from Java land This is a loop where you're kind of looping over a number here I've saying hey for I in the range Up to length of dogs. Oh my gosh. What's length of dogs? Well, the length is three Okay, the value of range of three. Let's print that out is the range from zero to three Exclusive of the three So when I print out I here I is going to take on the value zero one two and Then I'm just going on here something a little bizarro having Zero zero a thing I in the dogs list is the chow Whoo playing connect the dots here the first indexed item is poodle The second indexed item is corgi, right? So, you know, this is looping over things using Indices of list sometimes this is useful. Sometimes it's not It may come up again, right? But just be aware of that there are a couple of different modes for looping using for loops Know what for loops versus while loops are good for I want to show you one more trick here All right for I in dogs chow poody poodle corgi You see that this goes left to right it goes in sequence from zero one two Hey, we can do it backwards with a little magic, right? If we do this for I in reversed Dogs what reverse does is it's going to give me back a list in reverse order? So instead of chow poodle corgi. I should get corgi poodle Corgi poodle chow Kind of neat. Sometimes you want to go backwards. There are benefits to that There's another way to do it. That's even more cool looking and show your friends this say oh your elite hacker, right? Just a little syntactic sugar Who what in the world is that?

UCdoRUr0SUpfGQC4vsXZeovg	Give The People What They Want! Attacks on Gaza hospitals, Niger says US military presence illegal	We're back with the most important developments from the past week with Vijay Prashad, Zoe Alexandra and Prasanth R.	null	2024-03-23T04:04:04	2024-04-19T01:09:10	1,881	v6XXoCvKXn4	Give the people what they want. Give the people what they want. Give the people what they want. Your weekly movement news roundup. Yovid, give the people what they want brought to you by People's Dispatch. Ordinarily that would be Zoe and Prashant. Prashant is not able to join us today but certainly we'll be back next week. I'm Vijay from Globetrotter. Really happy to be with you for this 165th show of Give the People What They Want. Let's go straight to Gaza. Before we talk about the United Nations ceasefire, I think it's worthwhile having a quick glance at some of the numbers again. The most current figures, 31,988 people killed, 74,188 people injured. Of them, 14,000 children killed. That's incredible. 8,000 people missing. Of them, a large number of children. Two million people displaced. Most of the housing destroyed. Millions and millions of tons of rubble sitting in much of Gaza. 11,120 acres of arable land destroyed. So it is, of course, therefore incumbent upon the international community, particularly using the instrument of the United Nations Security Council to try to have an immediate ceasefire. On the 20th of February, Algeria put a UN resolution before the Security Council. A very strong resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. The United States vetoed that resolution. Now it's interesting. The US was the only country to veto the resolution. 13 countries voted for it. Out of 15, there was an extension. But that was a resolution very strong calling for an immediate ceasefire. And I want this to be quite clearly understood. Embarrassed by what had happened on the 20th of February, a month later, today's the 22nd of March, the United States government put its own resolution before the UN Security Council. In a sense, this resolution was designed to get forgiveness for the three vetoes that the US has exercised over the course of the past several months on resolutions put forward that call for an immediate ceasefire. And I'm going to keep banging on the term immediate ceasefire. Because what the United States did in this resolution, not so cleverly because it was pretty obvious, was they didn't call for an immediate ceasefire. They called for an imperative to have an immediate ceasefire. In other words, it's not that they were saying there shouldn't be an immediate ceasefire, but they were not willing to call for one. They felt that there should be a call for an immediate ceasefire. That was the UN resolution that the United States put on the table. I want people to understand the difference. The Algerian resolution called for an immediate ceasefire. Now, order goes to the government of Israel in Tel Aviv, stop the firing now. The US resolution doesn't call for an order to go to Tel Aviv to stop the firing now. It's a statement that the world must agree that there should be an immediate ceasefire. In other words, it puts off a real resolution on a ceasefire. To that end, to prevent the kind of, let's call it what it is, to prevent the fig leaf or the whitewashing of the US government's attempt to block resolutions on behalf of Israel to whitewash that, the United States put a resolution forward. Most countries in the world disheartened by that, and so China and Russia voted against this. The Russians, their ambassador Vasily Nebenzia said that the US was trying to sell a product to the council by using the word imperative. In other words, this was not a serious resolution. The Chinese ambassador Zhang Jun said that the dignity of the council was at stake here and the draft put forward by the United States on the issue of ceasefire. It could have been an interesting draft, but if only they had called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire rather than this imperative towards the ceasefire. A number of countries abstained, one of them was Guyana, its ambassador Caroline Rodriguez Burkett. She said this manmade disaster cannot be halted without an immediate ceasefire and it is this council's responsibility to unequivocally demand one. I think that's important. She says the Palestinians should not be held hostage for the crimes of others. They all were sort of unhappy with the idea of an imperative towards the ceasefire. They wanted a ceasefire, but this is going to create Zoe some confusion in the world. People are going to think, well, these countries voted against to abstain on a ceasefire resolution. This was not a ceasefire resolution. This was a resolution saying that there should be a ceasefire resolution. The only problem is the last three ceasefire resolutions the United States vetoed. I don't think the United States is going to get away with whitewashing this. I think it is of course going to be the case that the big media, the global North media is going to try to spin this as China and Russia blocking a ceasefire. In fact, no, they are demanding a real ceasefire. I could speak about this Zoe all day just repeating the same point because it might not get through, but so be it. Equally difficult as a point to make in the world these days Zoe is the question of what is being happening to the island of Cuba, an island under a blockade trying to survive and so on. And yet, boom, what's going on in Cuba? Well, last Sunday there was a protest in the eastern city of Santiago of people who took to the streets frustrated, frustrated with their material economic conditions. Of course, suffering under one of the most tight and excruciating blockades in history. They went onto the streets demanding food and electricity because of the situation of the blockade and the intensification under the designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, actually importing food and importing the necessary fuel that the island needs to survive has been extremely challenging. So, you know, there have been periodic blackouts, electricity shortages on the island. We know that, you know, over a year ago there was also the huge fire that took place in Matanzas where the islands lost a lot of not only fuel itself but the capacity to actually store this fuel. I mean, Cuba has hit, been hit with natural disasters, imperialist disasters over the past couple of years that have really greatly reduced its capacity to provide for its people. And if we remember, you know, Cuba actually provides food and fuel to the people. It's not, it's not a country that doesn't actually give these things to the people. So, you know, what happened in response to this protest is I think really what's the story here which is that immediately as soon as the people are hitting the streets of Santiago, the U.S. Embassy in Havana issues a statement saying, we have heard about the protests that are happening. We urge the Cuban government to respect the rights of the people and to not use any violence. This is, you know, quite interesting for a government that has been essentially silent and useless in the face of over 30,000 people murdered by the genocidal Israeli war. And, you know, at the same time that they're releasing the statement, actually the local leadership in Santiago is on the streets of Santiago with the people, dialoguing with the people, you know, trying to understand, of course, their frustrations, the difficulties that they're facing. Of course, the Cuban leaders are also facing these difficulties. They're also under the same sanctions and blockade that the people of Santiago and the people of the entire island are under. The U.S. Embassy releases the statement. Immediately we see CNN, we see Voice of, sorry, the Telemundo, other regional outlets immediately giving coverage to this one protest saying people are fed up with the castrists dictatorship. They're fed up with the Miguel Diaz Canal regime. They are demanding freedom. We see far right senators and members of Congress in the U.S. saying, look at what's happening in Cuba. The people are demanding freedom. And when in reality, you know, this is a protest that happens coming out of real material economic needs. And it's, and it, you know, was responded to with, you know, the local authorities engaging with the people actually Miguel Diaz Canal is currently in Santiago meeting with diverse communities. And again, hearing their frustrations, listening to the demands, Cuba is actually taking concrete steps to even address the, of course, the electricity shortages. They just announced, you know, the opening of several solar fields that will be hopefully be able to sort of supplant in some way this need for electricity that they have, the lack of fuel that they're suffering under. And I think at the end of the day, what people have pointed to is that all of these problems that the Cuban people are facing could be solved again with a stroke of the pen. If Biden said, we're taking Cuba up the state sponsor of terrorism list, which again, as we've spoken about in the show many times, seriously impacts the island's ability to engage with any sort of foreign financial transaction. They can't, banks refuse to do business with Cuba. It's not that the Cuba doesn't even have the funds to do it. It's that banks refuse to process their money. They've seized billions of dollars of Cuban money. This could be ended if Biden wanted to in the matter of hours, a matter of days. And so that's really at the end of the day. What the story is about is that the US blockade on Cuba has created these conditions. And as it said in its original memo about the blockade decades ago, this is to make the economy scream. This is to make the Cuban people suffer. And ultimately what they want is with the Cuban people to suffer so much that it ends in a political revolt against the government, against the revolution. But as we've seen over this past week, that hasn't happened and the protests have essentially died down. The protests have died down Cuba still under the gun. Of course, the blockade continues. The state sponsor of terrorism list still active Cuba under the gun. Niger was also under the gun. Niger is a country in the Sahel. There's been, of course, great interest in what's happening in the Sahel between 2020 and the present, the last four years. Great churning in the states of Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Guinea and so on. Great churning. In the last few years, there have been several military coups in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger where the governments have been overthrown. Governments mainly that didn't really have a project for the people. The situation in each of these countries has been interesting because quite immediately they basically told the French to remove their militaries. France had directly military intervened in 2013 through Operation Burkane in Mali first and then spread out across the Sahel, building something called G-Force Sahel. The idea for France, of course, was first they thought, well, let's do this undercover of fighting Al Qaeda of the Maghreb and so on. But then very quickly it became clear that France with help from the United States was effectively building a primary European border in the Sahel region just south of the Sahara to prevent the vast number of migrants leaving particularly West Africa, for Italy, for Lampedusa and then onward into Europe. This was like a border, a European border. And in fact, the states in these countries and the Europeans and the United States were using technology to spy on people migrating. Technology that is banned in Europe was being used in the Sahel region. Well, the moment these schools happened, the first thing they did was they told the French to leave. The French military had to leave. In some cases they were not going to use France as a national language. There was a great sentiment against France that was the principal sentiment that has since developed because immediately the United States thought, well, we can duck this. It's anti-French. Nobody's coming after us. During this period of the French recolonization of the Sahel from 2013 onward and the invasion of France into Côte d'Ivoire in 2011. In this period, the United States began to build up its military operations in the Sahel region. So the capital of Niger is Niami, which is toward the south of the country. The north of the country is the city of Agades, which is one of the last major habitat cities before the Sahara intervenes into Niger. Just north of Agades, if you take a left, you will get to the town of Arlit, which is the major uranium production site for Niger from where uranium has been going to France. And that's one of the things that the government in Niger is seeking is a renegotiation of the treaties of the deals for the export of its yellow cake uranium. But Agades was significant because from Agades, you enter the Sahara all the way to Sabah, Libya. So in Agades, the United States built the world's largest drone base. It's very, very important. It's an enormous space and it's about a thousand troops. Most people in the U.S. didn't know of the existence of this drone base till 2017. When a couple of U.S. servicemen were killed in Tonga Tonga, which is on the border of Niger, there was consternation. What are U.S. troops doing in Niger? Well, there are about a thousand of them at this drone base. Last Saturday, the spokesperson for the government went on Nigerian TV and said the U.S. troops have to leave. That was a categorical statement. Well, the Biden administration was caught short-footed wondering, oh my gosh, what is this? Where is this coming from? The Biden administration said, well, maybe this has to do with some statements that the government had made privately, the U.S. government to the government in Niyam, in Niger, and that maybe they are doing this out of a feeling of being slighted because there was a sense that they were angry with U.S. condescension. Was that the case or is this that they don't want foreign troops on their soil? It's a very interesting development in this central belt of Africa as more and more of these countries start to move from an anti-French, let's say, consciousness to an anti-foreign troops consciousness. By the way, just to put a line under this, the African Union in 2016 passed a resolution calling for the removal of all foreign bases. So what the government in Niger is doing is not by any stretch of the imagination illegal. It's following an African Union resolution from 2016. Yovit, give the people what they want brought to you by People's Dispatch. Today it's just Zoe, normally it's Zoe and Prashant. I'm Vijay from Globetrotter, super happy to be with you. We're going to go back to Latin America. Zoe has things to tell us about, well, sanctions in Venezuela, they've almost become synonyms. Yes, well, it seems the US was a bit upset that it couldn't drive full regime change on Cuba this week. And they focused their attention to Venezuela. Yesterday, the right-wing member of Congress, Maria Elvira Salazar, who is another stalwart against Cuba important to note, she actually tried to make the state sponsor of terrorist designational law, which meant that it would be very difficult for this to be ever be removed. But nonetheless, she made a proposal to reintroduce sweeping sanctions against Venezuela, reactivating some that had expired in 2019. And this is due to the fact that as we've covered again, you can read it on People's Dispatch, the opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, who for two decades has essentially dedicated her political career to trying to overturn the Bolivarian Revolution through being part of Juan Guaido's government and participating in the looting of the state companies that were seized by Guaido while the US was recognizing his fictitious rule, or whether it was supporting the Guarimba protests in 2014, 2017, for which she actually was summoned by the court and indicted on for supporting those. Or was it in 2002 when she signed a decree when the coup took place against Ugo Chavez for the interim government to replace him, which we know this interim government was later overturned by popular mobilization after just two days in office, the people demanded a return to Chavez and rejection of this coup. So, you know, there's a lot of other details in between. She also went to the OAS, which the Venezuelan is not a part of, in the seat of a Panamanian representative to denounce the actions of the Venezuelan government for which she was met with protest by both Panamanians and Venezuelans for usurping this seat of a Panamanian representative. She was actually removed from office for this action. So, she has sort of assorted history in subverting democracy and subverting rule of law, and so it was at the time when, for example, when she had gone to the OAS and participated in this action, she was removed from her seat. There was another investigation opened up that showed that she had not declared all of her earnings while being a member of Congress, and she was banned from political life for one year at that point. This ban was investigated this past summer. Opposition member of Congress in Venezuela said, okay, we're heading into the presidential elections. This person who had already been banned from participating in political activities in electoral politics because of all these different reasons is posing herself as sort of the leading opposition candidate. She, the court in Venezuela said actually no, she is still banned from political life, from electoral politics, not political life. And this sort of started the stir in Washington, the stir in the very far right sectors, the opposition in Venezuela. Important to mention, not all opposition sectors, which are actually participating in these upcoming elections. Nonetheless, she continued forward saying, nothing will deter me, I will participate, I will hold these primaries, which have been widely scrutinized. And now the court in January in Venezuela ratified her exclusion from running for office. And this set off a chain of different events. She has declared that I will continue to be a candidate. This is a violation of democracy. In response, the Venezuelan government has said you have never disrespected democracy. She has not complied with the agreements that were set out in the Barbados agreement, which was signed between the opposition and the Venezuelan government back in October. The US is saying that what Venezuelan government is doing is a violation of this agreement. And so essentially it's all boiling down to new attacks from the United States against Venezuela because of her exclusion. Right wing media, again capitalizing on this to say Venezuela is violating democracy. But I think at the end of the day what we can see is that someone who has repeatedly violated democracy called for an overturning of democracy, supported violent actions against the government. This is the reason that she's excluded from the elections and none more. So this is going to continue to be a sticking point. The opposition is designating in the coming days who they are going to position as the presidential candidate. So the tension is going to remain high and the US is trying to re-impose a series of sanctions. We'll see if Elvira Salazar is actually successful in this. But we can know for sure that it's going to be a high point of tensions once again between the US and Venezuela around the presidential elections that's going to take place on July 28th of this year. July 28th, Venezuelan elections. There was an election in Russia. Vladimir Putin won that election, became re-elected as the president of Russia. Olaf Schulz of Germany has decided to refuse to call him the president of Russia, refused to even use the word Vladimir and now just call him Putin. A very interesting development from the Germans, but also this comes out of frustration. Germany has now decided it cannot send the tourist cruise missiles to Ukraine. Ukraine is having a little bit of trouble. Last April leaked Pentagon report through the Associated Press suggested that for every Russian soldier killed in Ukraine, six Ukrainian soldiers are killed. Morale is down on the Ukrainian side. Europeans are not able to supply the Ukrainians as they did before. It was in fact European arms supplies. It was European air defense systems and it was European logistical assistance, including surveillance, that helped them actually hold off Russian advances early into the war and in the first year and a half. Now it's become difficult because Europe simply is finding it doesn't have the means to supply Ukraine as it had previously. The public mood for that support of the war in Ukraine is declined precipitously. It looks like Emmanuel Macron of France's suggestion to send NATO troops into Ukraine. There are already some troops in Ukraine assisting the Ukrainians, providing technical support, but Macron wanted to send troops to go and fight in the front lines or at least hold the logistical trail running and push those soldiers to the front, Ukrainians. It looks unlikely that NATO is going to permit not unlikely, it's impossible. NATO is simply not going to allow NATO forces to enter or to move air defense systems from NATO countries into Ukraine because it leaves these countries vulnerable. They simply don't have the land armies to spare. So that means that Ukraine right now is not in a position to even hold some of the front lines and there is a great deal of frustration and out of that frustration comes this juvenile move by the Chancellor of Germany saying I'm just not going to call him Vladimir or the president, just call him Putin. That's an interesting move by Germany weakened very much by this conflict. The approval rating of the European leaders has all plummeted. I mean none of them are standing up. Inflation continues within Europe. But I think importantly it has become clearer and clearer that the issue of providing sophisticated arms and so on to Ukraine has declined quite dramatically. It looks like in the presidential election in France Mr Macron is going to basically lose. This is his last period anyway as president but his forces, the forces of the center right most likely are going to be out and it looks more and more likely that the far right might prevail. For the first time France will have a far right government. It looks likely and they are very unlikely in any groups or provide more assistance to Ukraine. That's where that lies. In fact therefore the question of a ceasefire and a peace negotiation very important should be back on the agenda but it's not being back on the agenda. There is this juvenile thing, Putin, Putin, Putin. Juvenile, yes we're going to go in the last few minutes to Argentina. Mr Javier Millay, there is a kind of juvenile-ness there. Remember he was at Davos, Zoe and he said the West is in danger. Mr Millay gets his geography wrong. Argentina is not in the West Mr Millay. I don't know what endangerment of the West you're worried about, better just worry about Argentina. Zoe last few minutes, what's happening there? Yeah, well he should be concerned according to a study done by the Catholic University in Argentina. January saw a poverty of 57% which is an all-time high for the country. But nevertheless this Sunday is the anniversary of the coup which installed the civic military dictatorship in Argentina. It is a very important anniversary this year. Of course it is the first one that will be commemorated with Javier Millay in office. Important to note that Javier Millay during his campaign period on several times questioned for example the crimes that were committed during the dictatorship and said the widely known number of 30,000 people that were detained and disappeared. He said this is false this is propaganda by human rights organizations these are lies, human rights organizations are engaging in all sorts of criminal activities. So it is very clear kind of what his position towards the quite incredible movement for history and memory in the country is and for human rights. They're calling on it for a historic march this Sunday both of course as the every single year there's a march on March 24th but this year they say it will be historic. All of the major trade unions are participating as we know and as we've been covering on this show and on people's dispatch for the past several months trade unions have forged a historic unity between the CGT and the two Ceteas in the country these trade unions represent millions of workers. They have been on the streets demanding that the different laws that Miele has imposed through the presidential decree be repealed we know that as we covered last week one of these suffered an important blow in the house in Argentina. So they're taking the streets once again to say no to this negationist attitude towards the crimes of dictatorship and no to the attacks on workers' rights it's important to note that this week as well the organization of sons and daughters from memory released a public statement denouncing that a militant of the Liberty Advances of this party of Miele's actually broke into the home of one of the members of their organization. They broke into her home beat her up sexually abuser and took information about the organization E-host which again is this organization that was created by the sons and daughters of those who were detained and disappeared during the dictatorship it's a human rights organization now a very worrying development we're not only talking about a president who is openly saying that human rights organizations are criminal but of course this has material consequences it has consequences in terms of possible judicial persecution but also these militants who have been riled up by Miele's discourse have actually now carried out political crimes and you know violent acts against people who are part of these organizations are these sort of things going to increase that remains to be seen but once again this march on Sunday has increased impact and meaning because of the political situation Argentina faces today for them to say once again actually never again will these sorts of crimes be committed in the country human rights organizations say that they will not be intimidated by these different actions by the Miele government by the violent actions of these sort of vigilantes and so they are going to continue the struggle and intensify the struggle against these attacks on their rights So Zoe that is actually a chilling story about somebody trying to document things police coming after them that's the kind of story you're going to get nowhere it's not going to be reported in the big global north media you need people's dispatch for that Yovit give the people what they want brought to you from people's dispatch today just Zoe next week Zoe and Prashant and Vijay from Globe Trotter so very nice to be with you see you next week	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6XXoCvKXn4", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It is Monday the 14th of August, which is known in more esteemed media circles as Silly Season, the season in which a parliament is off, all of the more pasty sections of the front benches are off getting sunburned on their millionaire mate's yachts, and journalists are scrabbling around trying to fill column inches by looking at silly stories. Sadly, this August, we are not so blessed. With the far right on the march across Europe and North America, we've got a lot to unpack this show. We're going to be talking about the Newcastle abuse cases and the dog whistle racism in that coverage, and we're also, of course, going to be tackling what's going down in Charlottesville. Just a quick note to say that due to the nature of the subjects we're going to be tackling, this show will contain discussion of sexual violence and racialized violence, so consider this a fair warning on that note. So, joining me to unpack this cavalcade of horrors, I have the inimitable Aaron Bostani at Aaron Bostani on Twitter, and the unstoppable Ash Sarka at IOC's at High. How foxed only by arithmetic and telling left from right. They told me to do the L thing with my hands, and I was like, yeah, cool. Don't listen to a word I say. So, yes, diving straight in. Ash, could you lay down what's been happening with this Newcastle abuse case? So, last week, there were 18 prosecutions of men involved in sexual offenses regarding minors in Newcastle, and they formed part of the grooming gang, which involved plying young girls with drugs and alcohol and sexually exploiting them. It was absolutely horrific. Some of these men had absolutely disgusting things to say about what their reasoning was for it. One of them was identifying it in racialized times in terms of white girls being considered fair game. And I don't think that I have to go into detail about precisely why that's so disgusting. What I will say, however, is that abusers of all races and ethnic backgrounds have their own warped reasoning for why their particular choice of victim was considered fair game. This was the form of language chosen by these particular abusers. Now, similarly to the cases in Rotherham, also in Rochdale, this has been reported in the media and also by political classes in highly racialized terms. A trope has emerged over the last few years of Asian, in particular, Pakistani grooming gangs preying on young, vulnerable white girls. And I think what's really striking about what's happened in the last few days is that Sarah Champion, who's Shadow Equalities, yeah, right? Shadow Equalities Minister wrote an op-ed in The Sun saying, British Pakistani men are raping white girls. There, I said it. If that makes me a racist, then so be it. Now, I thought, let me take Sarah Champion at her word and have a little look at this, because sexual abuse, and particular child sexual abuse is about as that's really close to my heart. I had the weird honor of being raised by loads of social workers that were surrounded by shop talk from a very early age, and also being Muslim, being an Asian woman, and being someone who is really concerned with how do we fight endemic sexual violence without reproducing any recent narratives. I really wanted to check out these stats. Now, what Sarah Champion has said that there is a trend of British Pakistani men who are overrepresented in cases of child sexual abuse, and they are raping white girls, isn't really held up by the data. So if you look at incarceration rates for child sexual abuse in general, it pretty much falls in line with the breakdown of ethnicities that are found in the population. So roughly 80% white, 5.6% Asian, 2% mixed heritage or multiple heritage, et cetera, et cetera. Now, even when you look at so-called grooming cases, and I think that we should talk about how this itself becomes a particularly racialized category, the data does say that 20% of offenses are committed by British Asian men. But it's been posited as like a problem of race, right? A cultural problem rather than economic. But let's even look at that figure a bit more closely. So that figure is I think 240 something escapes me of those identified cases are perpetrated by Asian men. Of that figure, 30 of those are Pakistani. So that isn't actually a wild over representation of Pakistani men in that figure. But that data set, which is from 2007, which is the only data set that exists on the breakdown of ethnic representation in grooming cases is not a national data set. It's from some police forces or others. And that report specifically says, specifically says regarding racial and ethnic representation do not draw national patterns from this. There simply isn't enough data. So unfortunately, Sarah Champions arguments start to break down when put into scrutiny. Now as for the second part of her proposition, that it is white girls who are being targeted overwhelmingly in cases of child sexual abuse, again, the data doesn't bear this out. So the majority of child abuse cases that are reported, the victims are white, I think something like 26%. The biggest disparities between makeup of the population and makeup of the population of victims of child sexual abuse are black children, Asian children and those of mixed or multiple heritage. And before we kind of throw this out as a free for all, we need to start thinking about what kinds of child sexual abuse are dominant in our society. Now, one third of all cases of sexual abuse are actually committed by children or youth offenders. That's something which none of us talk about, which is that it's not always a case of adults sexually preying on children, but sometimes children sexually preying on children. All of those children who are sexually abused by adults, 90% of those cases are perpetrators are already known to the child. So that means family or close family friends, right? So at most these grooming cases that we're talking about are 10% of cases of child sexual abuse, and probably a bit less than that. So we're talking about very, very limited data sets. And yes, this is being presented as something that is endemic. Now I'm not minimizing the seriousness of it, not one bit. But I'm saying that the evidence that we have does not match up with the racialized narrative that we're being presented with, because it's a system, these abuses of power take place in systems of relative power, right? And so to be able to pinpoint one group to say that, to shift the blame onto them actually invisibilizes the role that's played by people with an enormous amount of relative power in society that is often rich white men. And we saw this in U-Tree, we see this endemic in society, in parliament, in football, in football, in any kind of institution that you want to pick. And so this is why the move that Sarah Champion is making, even under what may be a good faith guys of trying to tackle sexual violence, it's such a devil's bargain, it really won't work, because what you're doing is you're creating this enormous administrative and cultural blind spot when it comes to facing up, honestly, to the enormous amounts of crimes that are committed by white men and the complicity of all white people in those crimes by projecting that as a cultural racial problem onto these abject other bodies, right? I mean, let's also just bring this down to what I think the priority has to be here, which is how do we form an effective child protection policy around this. So Sarah Champion came up with a five point plan, which was set up an expert task force. We must have primary school education on healthy and unhealthy relationships. It has to be mandatory training for professionals, a national child sexual abuse awareness campaign and more support for victims. Now all of those five things I don't have a problem with. They are very, very vague in terms of how these things will actually play out. But I have no problem with that as the beginning point of a renewed effort to tackle child sexual abuse and indeed the specific problem of sexual exploitation within grooming. But all five of those things actually become really actively detrimental to the project of protecting children if you racialize them. Because if you teach children, imagine if the statistics did support Sarah Champion, they don't, but let's imagine that they did. If you teach children, okay, right, reality is white girls, you're going to be preyed on by Pakistanis. You are creating a blind spot, right, where girls of color will not see themselves represented, and they will not know how to articulate their own experiences of victimhood. And you've projected a kind of predatory, you know, stereotype onto one group of people, which means that when there's predatory behavior from other groups of people, it won't be recognized in the same way. In terms of how this will play out on an allocation of resources nationally, this is really very troubling, it won't be useful. And there's no mention of actually what does work in terms of tackling child sexual abuse and specifically exploitation of grooming settings, which is harm minimization rapport building social work. So finding ways to form productive relationships with girls who are being exploited who don't necessarily recognize what they're going through is abuse, in order to get them to feel comfortable in breaking off those relationships. And then if they feel up to it, participating in the criminal prosecution of the offenders. And what I want to pick up on the use and misuse of this kind of castle impulse, among feminist circles as well, because often, castle statistics are used to sort of prove the profundity with which women's testimony is dismissed and treated with contempt. And that's absolutely true, you know, the conviction, the conviction rates in cases of rape and sexual abuse is, I think, 8%. That's, you know, shockingly low. And there's a whole, there's a whole problem, obviously that a lot of this stuff takes place behind closed doors and the sort of the boundaries of proof that obtain in a, in an actual criminal court aren't really aren't really equipped to deal with that. But obviously, there is a problem in these cases, where perhaps the the victims have been brainwashed into thinking that these men actually care about them. The castle impulse actually prevents people coming forward because they think that these people are going to be locked up factor in the effect of immigration policing. And you get and you put such a high price on people coming forward, that it will be completely impossible. That's why this these strategies just pay like, they sound very good if what you're trying to do is sound like you're tackling child sexual abuse, right? But they don't really work if you're actually trying to tackle it. So if you move or tell it not beyond, but if you try and expand your repertoire for tackling child sexual abuse beyond castle mechanisms, you actually need a lower burden of proof. Yeah, and it puts less of a strain on victims coming forward as witnesses. So I think this is the technical term for what social workers can do in order to present a case to move forward with either care proceedings or other forms of intervention to protect child from sexual abuse is something called validity analysis. So really, it's a form of rapport building and interviews where the questions are not hostile or antagonistic. But it's a way of building up a picture of detail. So the way my mom explained it to me was, actually, they'll have a, you know, most victims of sexual abuse, I have an excellent memory for like, what was the color of the duvet? Or like, what was the light looking like when I was coming through the window? Other things might be really blurry. But with that picture of details, I can say I've got enough evidence to be able to act in terms of bringing forward care proceedings and moving forward this case, moving forward that case. Those things might not necessarily work in a court of law in terms of securing a conviction, but it can work for securing social work intervention. And so if you fund these, these other forms of institutional intervention, I'm not saying that social work is absent of racialized dominance, by the way, but I'm saying that like, you know, it's a, you know, it creates different relationships to carceral models, that we might have a better chance of tackling this problem effectively. I don't think that the measures outlined by Sarah Champion in terms of let's explicitly racialize this and also coming up with very vague proposals are in any way adequate for tackling the problem that we face. Yeah, I mean, she's Sarah Champion. I'm looking at this camera. Sarah Champion, I think is saying what she's saying, because she's obviously a member of Parliament for Rotherham. This is a very politically salient issue locally. So I can understand the intention from a sort of political point of view, not excusing it, but there's the explanation. Okay. As long as alongside obviously her shadow cabinet position. What she's done with this issue is to about Operation Newtree. Yeah, there were people on Twitter who were saying, everybody in the BBC is a pedo. Now nobody would say that's it's quite funny, but nobody would say that's a serious critique or position. And we've now got a member of the shadow cabinet underneath a socialist leader, I would argue probably the best type this country has a progressive change doing exactly the same thing as egg Twitter accounts were against, you know, former Tory MPs or members of the BBC a few years ago. So that's deeply disturbing. And there have been people saying that she needs to go, she needs to resign, she needs to quit. I would ask you two guys, what do you think Jeremy Corbyn should do? Or what would be the best outcome here in terms of a progressive politics and shadow champion? If she apologised, could she stay on? Because it's obviously this is going to keep it happening, right? There will be transgressions by a shadow cabinet which reflects a very broad range of opinions, not all left wing. Well, I think it's it's just the language around the language around the the need to protect the the sexuality or the purity of white women and white girls is just completely indefensible. I mean, we've been talking about this as the as a sort of recent iteration, though the idea that the grooming gang has become a particularly racialised category, but obviously the need to protect white women and girls from the vicissitudes of this sort of predatory black or brown sexuality is as old as the hills. It's one of the kind of key linchpins of racialisation. What was that film in the American South in the 20s? Oh, Birth of a Nation. Birth of a Nation, and that was one of the central tropes. Birth of a Nation, Emmett Till. I mean, like in the, you know, in the Jim Crow era South, you don't even need to go back to like anti-bellum times, like white women had the power of life and death over black men because, you know, an accusation of rape means that that person could be put to death, right? And that's how those racialised dynamics set up tackling sexual abuse as trading the safety of white women onto, you know, they put the price of that is essentially like the death and of men of colour, which is obviously, you know, as we've talked about, not a way to prevent, actually tackle sexual violence, even when it's directed towards white women. But I want to return to... Should she resign quickly? Yes. Is it like, should it end your career? And can I explain why? Is that there are very clear historical lineages for this, which like you very articulately laid out. But for me, it comes down to something very, very basic, because she's a smart woman and she's experienced when it comes to dealing with issues of gendered violence. So she knows that these are dodgy stats that she's wheeling out. Because listen, right, for me, numbers are like mystic ancient rooms. I am outfoxed by them. I did two English degrees. I don't know what the fuck I'm reading. If I can find out and go through the data and see, well, hang on, this is inaccurate, she definitely knows already. So in terms of do I want a labour government that is effective at producing policy that is capable of protecting women and girls from patriarchal violence? I don't think she's up to that job. If she will sacrifice the truth for political convenience. Yeah. I mean, she's definitely done as a qualities minister. I mean, the absolute absurdity of the minister for women and qualities, reproducing a discourse that A does nothing to protect women and B doubles down on enormously racialized, extracurable abuse that probably wouldn't look out of place on Nigel Farage's Twitter account on Katie Hopkins Twitter account. Like, yeah, she's she's got to go. But really, I'm almost less concerned. I'm not really surprised about this from this Labour government, right? Because you look at the government. Oh my goodness. Sorry, where are we now? Yeah, from this Labour administration is the because just look at their stance on immigration. They have proved themselves repeatedly willing to sell migrants and people of colour down the river for political convenience. So in terms of what Corbyn should do, I don't really care. I'm really like I really am starting to care. We're talking about it. So you do care. I mean, I mean, I can want there to be consequences for this kind of behaviour from whatever party, surely. Sure, sure. But I'm just not sure in terms of tackling the kind of because Sarah Champion is doing this knows that this will work for a reason, right? Because this kind of discourse has been normalised. I don't think that the most effective way of tackling these sort of far right views is just is simply for her to lose her job, right? Because then it's sort of what you need is actually a bold child sex child sexual exploitation policy, which maps out different pathways to accountability, to justice and to care, which like addresses the funding gaps that exist, which looks at the ways that harm minimisation policy can be embedded in things like sexual health services. And it's explicitly saying we are not going to look at this as a racialised issue, because what that does is leave more girls, women and also young boys too vulnerable to the predilections of predators, right? So if it wouldn't just be a case of getting rid of Sarah Champion is produce a decent policy. And that's what my frustration is here is that when we get sucked into these discussions, I've been cast as an abuse apologist for saying, well, hold up, right? This isn't actually accurate. Is that becomes a game of abstracts, right? And you're dealing with floating signifiers signifiers of like, well, hang on, what does, you know, the abuser look like? And what you've come more and more distance from is situation on the ground, which is how do you help social workers, health care professionals, teachers tackle these problems, right? By arguing over what an abuser looks like you are not doing that. Can I just quickly say for me, what the appropriate course of action because people saying Corbyn should sack her, I agree with you. Fundamentally, that changes nothing about the political culture changes nothing about Labour Party policy. But it's that's clearly the same question that people are now asking. But for me, it would be get a motion, if you're a Labour Party member, get a motion passed at the CLP saying she should go. But also, there's no place for racist rhetoric in policies around anything, but first and foremost, in this instance, obviously sexual exploitation. So I think people need to feel a bit more agensive around this because champions comments are taking place in a broader context, which I think is probably where a lot of the mainstream vote, which Labour now has to win is at. So we're going to see more and more of this. And I think the expectation of just Jeremy Corbyn firing people, thing like you're saying it's kind of sufficient. And also because like, I'm just I'm just baffled that Labour MPs think that this is a strategy that's going to work, because you're really not going to be able to do racism better than the Tory Party and still maintain the constituencies that you kind of are at the moment relying on for your vote. That's people of colour and metropolitan. They've got nowhere to go, right? That's the presumption. Yeah. Well, that's a presumption, but it's also it's OK, assuming assuming, for instance, that it isn't a complete load of crap, which I think it is in terms of electoral strategy. I'm really not interested in that electoral strategy, right? If that's what it takes to win, what it takes to win is to is to sell out an enormous part of the population, which means that there is no hope for the left on a parliamentary level. And so, you know, that's the kind of calculation that we have to do, right? I mean, that's possibly why, because I do have hope in some set in some limited sense in the parliamentary sphere. So maybe that's maybe that's informing why my reasons behind thinking that this is doomed electoral strategy. But I just think it's all it's hopefully in some way. My problem is that I don't think it's doomed. Sure. In the sense of it's entirely coherent with the history of a racist British leftism. Sure. I don't think it's doomed at all. If, I mean, if Jeremy Corbyn wants to maintain the levels of support that he got from working class, urban people of color, I'm not saying urban like urban as code for round saying urban isn't living in the city. Yeah, I'm not saying I'm not saying like mobile urban. I'm saying like, you know, I'm not saying like garage or two step urban. I'm saying like, you know, literally living in cities. If he wants to maintain that energy, which was an effective campaigning force, he's got to show that he's bold enough to push back against racist narratives. And I think you do that in a way which can also appeal to essentially racist white people who are kind of looking to string up, you know, a Muslim or two by presenting a bold and substantive policy proposal. You shift the discourse away from these racialized abstracts and you get it onto brass tax. One thing, very quick. Yeah, there's no evidence of this informing of broader electoral strategy so far. So far, it's just an anomaly, but I'm inclined to agree with. So I want to be charitable to the leadership. But I agree with Ash that it could be. And what you would do is you have a very left wing offer. And then you just do the occasional, it's a bit what Boris used to do with the left, the occasional sort of you've plus your eyelashes are far right. And you keep channeled very cultural issues. I mean, what do you mean by flushing your eyelashes at the far right? So issues like this allow me these are issues which get you give votes are very irrational, right? So when people are knocking the doors in stoke, for instance, the number one issue that you give votes and stoke were talking about was halal butchers. I can't help it that the meat is better quality, delicious and cheaper. All right, Mr Halal has sorted me out. For labor to a majority, they would have a very left wing manifesto, I'm sure of it, but there would have to be some right wing red meat to these people. Obviously, we know first and foremost in freedom of movement, but I think there may be a few cultural issues as well. So conceding to this narrative around abuse, maybe sorry, so are you saying that this is a winning strategy? No, I'm not saying it's a winning strategy. I think it may be a strategy that they pursue with that in mind. But I mean, my father's a taxi driver, an Iranian taxi driver. He's had people say, I'm not getting in your car, you're a Muslim, you're right. I'm not, I know, I'm not. Yeah, obviously, I'm just trying to terrify where you're going. We need to preempt what the direction could be at the moment, like I say it's an anomaly, but I could I could imagine it being a relatively intelligent path to go down that the failure it was with labor before was they did the right wing stuff with centrist economics. I've always thought there's a big part of this country, which I've always called red UK. So I think if you have socialist economic policies, and then you, like I said, only occasionally, intermittently appeal to sort of certain flag UK issues, I think they may believe that will pay off. I agree with you. I don't think it will. That's why I'm involved in the project. It's from the Labour Party member. But it may be it may be a sign of things to come. I just want to come back to you, Ash, on the honour of turn this to racialised abstracts. Yeah, I know. To talk about, I mean, we've talked about how how this pinpointing of problems of sexual abuse as endemic to communities of colour, Muslims, particularly Pakistani Muslims is racist. But I want to unpack particularly the parallels between these racist discourses and racist discourses in Nazi Germany. By the way, Godwin of Godwin's law has officially declared Godwin's law null and void so we can go to town on the Nazi comparisons. You guys, hooray, this is the world we live in now. So yeah, I mean, so I woke up this morning, was drinking my cup of coffee in some scrambled eggs. Good day. Check my phone. And the first thing I see on Twitter is Trevor Kavanaugh's op-ed in The Sun, in which he's talking about, you know, well, if we relinquish power over freedom of movement in Brexit negotiations, what do we do about and capitalises this the Muslim problem? And I was and I'm not using this emotive language like in a hyperbolic way. I was I was chilled because after the weekend's events in Charlottesville, where you have people marching around with swastikas and doing hyal Hitler's salute to use phrasing like the Muslim problem, which of course calls back to the framing of the Jewish problem, right? And for which there was a solution, a final one. Yeah, I was going to say it was a final, which Katie Hopkins had earlier tweeted a final solution to the migrant problem. The use of this language, this rhetoric. I had always known that the violence genocide is not something that is contained to the early and mid 20th century, right? Because I mean, if you ran, you know that. And you know, it also means that you're not complacent about how these violence might flare up again. What I did not think I would ever see in my lifetime is that the call back to that rhetoric and those aesthetics would be so direct. I thought that it would have to cloak itself in a kind of new respectable iteration in order to succeed. Whereas you look at what's being printed in the sun. And I think that Sarah Champion's opinion piece on Newcastle kind of falls in with this as well. I think it's fascist in terms of a propaganda project of demonizing Muslims. I think that it is a fascist rag like, you know, DeStorma was a fascist rag. And we must now start assertively challenging people who consume it. I'm not saying beat up everyone who reads the sun. I'm saying like talk to people because the the figure of the at once barbarous, libidinous, but also somehow effeminate weak, submissive British Asian man who was coming for your children is actually very is remarkably similar to the Nazi figurations of the Jew. I think that's interesting in terms of what that what that hate figure, what that bogeyman is actually doing, right? Because you need a different sort of like racist hate figure for different modes of population control. And this particular fascism is aims to sort of paper over the class differences which are heightened by by economic crises and what this sort of paradoxical figure like Schrodinger's Schrodinger's Muslim Schrodinger's Jew is supposed to do is to at once appeal to the fears of the caricature and fears of like a working class which feels which is supposed to fear like being ruled over by the sestues of like this effeminate elite and caricature what ruling class people think about working class people, right? It's kind of like that they're cockroaches that they are that they're thoughtless that they're thugs, etc, etc, etc. And so you have to like packaging, packaging up in like one racialized iteration, this figure that can, you know, unite those fears and prove a kind of common commonizing force between classes which really should have nothing in common. I mean, the thing about as well, you're saying the Muslim problem, the Jewish problem. Sorry, but you just there was the Irish problem. Maybe this has the Muslim problem is that I will steal your man. Yeah. And there's the Irish problem, of course, in 19th century England. But I think the first account of this is the German problem in Caesar's conquest of Gaul. And he sort of offers an explanation as to why they've conquered school France, which is full of Gauls. Well, we're not quite sure German. They call them Germans and Gauls, Celts, but obviously, it's just a bunch of tribes really. And they do this because of course, they pose a threat. And Gauls, Celts of you, there's like wildly sexually promiscuous, not to be trusted, violent. And you think, wow, we this 2000 years ago, and you can pretty much map all of this. And these are fellow Europeans for Alex Jones is, you know, white civilization, they're still being other because it was you know, because 1992, there you get a career and I dare European identity. Yeah. So this is as old as it's as old as the hills. So and Trevor Kavana, by the way, looks like, like I'm up around you, he looks like it's a lot of mania. So I find that quite funny that he could be so so racist. He's kind of like, sort of like he's kind of half brown or something. That's not surprising. I mean, that's because race isn't a biologically contingent formation, right? I'm tough joking, but he looks maybe like mixed race. It's kind of, I mean, he also has to send him cabinet. I'm going to be texting all my mixed race cousins being like, which what have you been writing in the sun? Yeah. I'm serious in saying that we need to be a lot more assertive in tackling these right wing papers, because we have seeded so much ground as the left in terms of media operations. And this isn't me bigging us up or they like, let's pick ourselves up. But I'm saying that we were in this bizarre position where people who are reading the sun every day, people who are reading the Daily Mail every day, people who are reading the Spectator every day even don't trust it, right? But we have seeded the ground of like, well, we have to speak to people where they are, and we can't challenge them too much. We can't tell them that what they do is very school alienated. Sun patronizing. Whereas I think like, no, actually have this conversation. Yeah. Because if you ask someone reading the sun, do you trust the editor of the sun? They will say no, you ask me, do I trust the editor of the Guardian? I say, fuck no. Well, we had the stats right from you gov. Only around 50% just under 50% of sun readers voted 30% of them voted Labour. So they're not looking to the sun for its political line. They just happened to buy the sun. I remember when I was on probation, and I'd go to I'd have to basically just do odd jobs, derelict school in South London. And of course, most of the people there were, it was all young boys, young black boys, primarily. There was the occasional thing where it was like a older black woman who'd done like a trip like a driving offense. It's like, I'm here for, you know, something quite significant. And like, anyway, so it really brought that home to me anyway, we'd all go there, the two guys who were at sorts of circle with a Jamaican, older Jamaican men, and they'd have to be reading the sun. And all these boys will be reading they're all like 18, 19, 20, and they're all reading the sun. And they're not stupid. They know it. So like, they're fucking going, ah, this is so stupid, like this dumb idiot, idiot, idiot. They know that the sun is full of shit, like you say. So I think conversations where you go look, the sun tries to pedal a set of ideas within society, which wants to blame you for everything. Like when you see it, put it in the bin. Like I think there could definitely be a movement to that end. And it could at least take off in major cities pretty easily. It's a lot of ways. And that's what I mean is like, let's start having these conversations. Because do you see, and this might be a kind of segue into Charlottesville is my mind, what happened when you don't challenge like the kind of, you know, quagmire of racism, which I think even as a white person, you are, you know, benefiting from? No, incubated in the whole time you go, when you go, when you kind of, you know, have your, I don't know, Americans have Thanksgiving, I don't really understand the whole two turkey thing. But, you know, Thanksgiving dinner and your uncle Barb is popping off and he's like, oh, there's so what? I'm just going to tweet about it. Right. And it's not actually having that confrontation. Yeah, like you know, obviously what happened in Charlottesville is so much more than a cumulative product of neglected social interactions. I'm not that naive to think that if every, you know, white liberal challenged their racist uncle, it wouldn't have happened. What I am saying is that we need to be so much more active in our everyday lives in terms of challenging people consumingly repeating racist propaganda. It's suddenly, it's fringe until suddenly it's very violently and very murderously not, right? It's fringe until the Tiki tortures come out. Exactly. And I want to move us on to Charlottesville. And I was wondering in the haze of everything that's been going on in the last few days, wondering if you could lay out a little bit what the hell has happened? I'll drop the heat. So I'll be super I'll be super quick. Yeah, there was a process in Charlottesville, Virginia, because there's been the proposal to remove a statue of General Robert E. Lee. He was a general in the Confederate Army during the Marathon of War 1861 to 65, 1860s. Now that's important because Southerners or people who are defending the statue who are mostly Southerners are saying, well, this is part of our heritage. Entirely white. So this is part of our heritage. And that's quite a compelling argument until you find out the statue was built in 1924, 60 years after the end of the Civil War. First and foremost, the absolute peak, the crescendo of the Ku Klux Klan. So it was really it was a huge gesture to white supremacists far right when it was built. So beyond the no illusions about it being some, you know, some momentum of a history that shouldn't be forgotten. We shouldn't erase history. Yada, yada, yada. It was the repurposing of history at very particular moments. So don't get sentimental bars, sentimental bars. Anyway, this then became a kind of cause celebra for the far right. They then had a protest called Unite the Right in Charlottesville, where this statue of General Robert E. Lee was proposed to be taken down. They were then met by a much larger counter protest. The night before, you know, at the right, there was this assembly of people with these what they called tiki torches, maybe a couple of hundred, right? Wasn't as big as the following day, it seemed. Few things I was surprised by the fact that they were just not masked up. They were openly displaying who they were, obviously mostly men, no, 90 percent men, really, from what I could see. Surprisingly, many were sort of very slick, well presented. Now, I say that because and we've since found this out, they've lost their jobs. They're in perfectly respectable positions, decent careers, and then they were very disinhibited, which suggests to me they're new to this, which is in itself quite important and be they thought there'll be no consequences, which is partly an extension of them being new to this, but also that they think that this politics has traction and momentum and that there'll be no sort of overhead. Being an extrovert fascist and let's be clear, this wasn't like an EDL demo or even ones you've seen in Germany where they try and cloak it in even populist language. This was explicitly how Hitler were going to get rid of blacks, get rid of Jews, you know, blood and soil, blood and soil. I mean, this was this was the I mean, you know, I've never seen a process of this intensity in terms of foreign politics in Europe on the scale ever. So that's that was what shocks me, even though it's only about five hundred to a thousand people. Yeah. And in the light of that context, we're just going to let that marinate for a bit and we're going to go to a quick break and then we're going to come back and drop some more heat. Over the last 10 years, things have really changed. But for all the darkness, every cause has an effect. For all the talk of change, the present moment is really one of crisis, a crisis of democratic representation of identity, a climate crisis of a failing economic model, which isn't working for most people. We can't have a media that's beholden to advertisers or the political ambitions of oligarchs, which is why in 2013, we founded Navara Media, online corporate media. We are funded by our subscribers. There's no tax avoiders. There's no oil money and there's no lords. What we're creating is media for you, which quite simply, you make possible. Looking to raise £40,000, that will allow us to not only keep on paying our contributors, but give them a little bit more as well as keep our studio and take our fantastic Navara events nationwide. To help us get there, go to support.navaramedia.com and give a one off donation or even better, sign up for a subscription. We've already achieved so much, but the truth is, we've barely started. Welcome back. We are back online and we have sorted out what I understand were a couple of technical problems. Sorry about that. We've also had... Harsh lighting. Yeah, harsh lighting. I can't be dealing with that. I need all the help I can get. So, Aaron's just going to pick up on the history and the context of this particular moment that's happened in Charlottesville, right? Because some people are shocked by what's happened to it and those people are mostly white people, like white liberals in America who haven't really been able to see what's been in the post, really, for the last, I mean, certainly since Trump got elected and, you know, inevitably way before. So, how do we how do we trace the origins of where this has come from? Because in many ways it does seem extraordinary on this episode. So, I'll quickly recap by saying that the protest was 500,000 people. Yeah. Which isn't that big, is it? But, like you've said, it's explicitly right-wing politics and iconography and rhetoric. I think I've never seen anything like it. I never thought I'd see anything like it in a first world country. So, where's it coming from? What's the background? Well, Southern Confederate nationalism has always been a thing, right? The Lost Cause. That's why this statue was built in 1924. It was the base of the Ku Klux Klan. We have to remember the Klan was actually very intimate with the Democrats in the 20s. The reason why you didn't get more of a political coalition was because they don't just hate black people. They also hate Jews and Catholics, which for, you know, the Democrats in the North was a problem. So, you've got Southern nationalism, the Lost Cause of the Civil War. And that's a thing. And that grievance won't ever go away. And fascism feeds off a sense of historical injustice, just like the Nazis did of World War I. Very similar thing with that and the American Civil War. Then I think of the two newer elements. So, you have the alt-right who are newer. And what's interesting is that they are right-wing, but they also try to feed off a culture of transgression. And transgressions are good way of putting it. So, Marley and Opolis seems to me to be the inheritor of something like a Pap-Bucanan, right? Conservative, Republican in the United States. He's a gay man. He wears a Gucci baseball cap, which costs $600. But you can't hate it, LGBT people. So, that's quite interesting. We can talk about that later on, I think. And the alt-right come from a bunch of primarily digital subcultures, which I think are kind of they're united by not much. One is hating women, like really. And we can talk about this a bit more as the show progresses, but also really just the liberal values of the 1960s, which they view as the status quo, but which of course are an unfinished revolution on trans rights, gender rights, racial equality. There's them who feed off a bunch of subcultures, pick up artists, men going their own way, Paul Chan. And then finally, there's American nationalism, which is what I think Trump genuinely is, but he knows that these other two people are really, two groups are really important in his coalition. American nationalism, mechanicalism upset with globalization, upset with free trade, upset with the Washington establishment. They want made America, jobs in America. They want economic mechanicalism. They hate immigrants. So, there's a bunch of groups here. And for now, they're all on side because it's very difficult to hold political coalition together, which includes the people we saw in Charlottesville and Antonio Scaramucci, going as a hedge fund on the East Coast. But so far it's... I'm actually not so sure it's that difficult, because if you look at all the doxing that's gone on of people who are portrayed in these videos, it's not just that we talk about the fact that there are as many fascists wearing expensive suits as there are fascists in jackboots and even white hoods who turn up to protest like these. But actually, it's not just that they're closely linked. It's that they're often the same person. They're often pictured in the same video. Can I quickly respond? I just quickly respond. Because I'm saying it's a coalition and it's new. And the point is you've got Southern Confederate Nationalists who would have been on those demos 20, 30 years ago, gun militias, and they're with newer groups who, I would say primarily identify as the alt-right or as American nationalist. And they don't actually have the same objective as Southern secessionists, but they're in the same group for now. So the intervention that I want to make here, honey-chilled baby cakes, one word missing from your otherwise excellent historicization of these demonstrations is, drum roll please. Whiteness! Hooray! All right, so what is it that's holding this together? And it's something which, you know, we talked about the limitations of Afro-pessimism as maybe understanding global racism, but Afro-pessimism, I think, is the best history of America that has ever existed. So what is it that can hold such a diverse social political coalition together? It is the centrality of white supremacy predicated on the disposability of black life. And the moment which prefigures this upswell of white supremacy, of which, you know, Trump is a symptom, not the cause, although he's certainly emboldening elements in the society, is a black president and the conditions that made a black president possible. And I think that this is something which we really cannot overstate, is that that is something which can hold together your, you know, free market, Paul Ryan with, you know, an absolute nut-a-butter, like the representative of Georgia, whose name I forget, who was like, well, the rural problem here is Antifa, the rural problem here is these thugs, the rural problem here is Black Lives Matter. That is the thing that's, you know, holding this together. And that is, I think, a historical lineage, which is kind of thinking about how American nationalism and Southern secessionism is actually a lot, you know, more closely interwoven than we might like to think. And also the power of whiteness as an organizing logic of violence also makes sense of what is a paradox. Sorry, that you picked up on, because I think you're completely right, right? That these subcultures that have been, these internet subcultures that have been mobilized as the foot soldiers that put Trump in power that are turning up to these demonstrations were trained on things like Gamergate and they were trained on hating on women, particularly women of color online, right? And so that would seem to kind of roll up against the possibility of women being involved in the movement. But what you actually see is that women are not just involved in the movement, they're actually at the forefront of championing its detoxification by being able to present a slick media image that differs from our usual picture of what like a Nazi looks like, right? But if you think of like, oh, it's whiteness that they're defending in between solidarity with women of color and solidarity with white men, they're choosing solidarity with white men, right? I mean, that showed up as well, of course, in the Trump election breakdown, right? So white women without ecology education voted overwhelmingly more for Trump than for Hillary Clinton. So she didn't, you know, the presumed coalition that Trump needed to win, people said it's not possible because Clinton's going to win so much people of color or with women, the problem is with white women, she didn't. And you're right to an extent, but when we focus on the alt-right, I mean, this is a supremely modern movement because I don't like the politics of Papua Canaan, I don't like the politics of, you know, Bible and gun, you know, Republicans, Republican conservatives in the U.S., but they believed in a bunch of things that are relatively common, nuclear family, you know, monogamy, right to life, and often conservative life in a very unhealthy way is hinged around a very sort of a matriarch in a way. Now, if you look at the subcoach that's feeling the alt-right, it's completely different. There's even a movement called Men Going Their Own Way, MGTOW.com, and these people literally want to dispense with women in their lives. And that culture itself feeds into pickup artistry, into new rationalism. And a lot of this looks very presentable, new rationalism looks super presentable. And yeah, they hate women of color, and I'll rephrase what I'm saying, it's hinged around whiteness and misogyny, but I think the misogyny thing can be really overlooked because you get on their forums and stuff, and there'll be like a woman who's like, yeah, I'm an atheist, and they'll be like, fuck you, and they like try and completely screw her over. A great example is a guy on the 4chan forum, I think in 2013, 14, and he was incel. Now, Sam and Chris talks about this stuff a lot. I don't know if you're familiar with these cultures. What's incel? Incel and volse. I mean, this is how, this is really odd, right? Incel and volse, so incel is something who's involuntarily celibate. Oh, yeah, sorry, yeah, I'm with you now. Volse. Volse, that Mercury in retrograde. Volse is voluntarily celibate, and these are the MGTOWs, men going their own way. And there was a guy on an MGTOW, like 4chan thread, and he's like, I'm gonna go to the sorority at my university, I was in California, and I'm gonna shoot a load of women, because they're bitches. Was that happened in Santa Barbara, was it? Yeah, it was, you see Santa Barbara, right? Yeah. And I'm not trying to minimize the role that misogyny plays as another organizing factor. At all, I would never want to do that. But I'm just interested in how the power of whiteness can allow some white women to act as basically the ultimate cool girl who's like really down with toxic masculinity, this thwarted, rageful toxic masculinity that is contributing to this. I wouldn't want to pathologize fascism as a problem of masculinity or as a problem of toxic masculinity, because I think it goes far beyond that and it's an economic question as well. But I think that we can't, obviously, we can't, intersectionality, we can't purely focus on misogyny, because misogyny draws white women, women of color. But if I may, I think something which can loop these things together is an understanding of whiteness, not as a kind of reified, trans-historical abstract concept. But let's go back to basics, right? Let's go back to whiteness as property. Great essay. So looking at whiteness, not as primarily a matter of identity, but as a property relation. And this is something which is a specifically American phenomenon, looking at it in terms of displacement of indigenous people, ownership and exploitation, responsibility of black people. And when you think about whiteness as a property relationship, a sense of a grieved or displaced ownership in the post-civil rights era, that doesn't mean some rights have been achieved, but saying that, you know, at least some of those rhetorical gestures, those politics were hegemonic for a time. And that sense of agreement chimes very well with the sense of masculine agreement and entitlement to the attention and sexual availability of women, right? So you think about this as a set of like aggrieved property relations, which manifests itself in taking over a town and murdering people. I mean, it seems bizarre to talk about these people, but they now inform this movement. So again, another element, what I'm saying is about the misogyny and whiteness being almost parallel. I'm speaking just simply in regards to the alt-right because I think it is different with the American nationalism, with the Southern secessionism, which are obviously much older and they will obviously be far more popular and more diffuse. But the thing about the property is really interesting because one of the kind of tropes, again, of the alt-right is this idea of the beta uprising. So they're saying we're not alpha males we're beta males, but we're gonna like overthrow this system of alphas. And it's almost like they look at women as the property of alpha males, like you're saying about whiteness. So it's also, yeah, it's kind of interesting. And it's also a very understudied culture. That's also a racialized trope, right? So thinking about stereotypes of African American men as being hypermasculine, hyperthugish, sexually voracious. And so for me, I'm not saying his race, his gender, I'm saying that in this context these things are intimately bound up. And they're the product of many of the same historical processes and that should affect our reading of current events. So what I'm saying is you're both equally wrong. I'll take that. But this is where cuck comes from, right? Yeah. Right? You know, this thing about like the cuck service, like it sounds like a pretty harmless, you know, antique English term, but it's about, it's a genre of porn where your wife or your partner is, has sex with somebody in front of you and it tends to be a black man. So again, it's about property, but it's property of twofold where, right? It's the subordinate of black man is taking your woman, i.e. your woman property away from you. So... It's a double infraction of that property rights which makes it so galling, I guess. And I just want to return, I guess, to the violence of the moment that we're seeing. And, A, what do we make of this going forward? Do we think that this is going to be a pattern that spreads? Or, you know, is this perhaps, as some people on, you know, alt-right comment boards have been saying, is this a misstep? Is this a discursive failure for the alt-right? Because, you know, it might sort of serve to alienate people. I don't know. I find it incredibly difficult to speculate in terms of, like, will we see more of this, will we say less of this? I mean, I've been saying for years that this kind of violence was coming. I had hoped that I was being sensationalist, but no. What I worry about is that while maybe someone like Steve Bannon maybe becomes less influential in the White House, maybe that you see some fragmentation within the Republican Party itself, is that the optics of this violence will be appealing to just enough people to essentially encourage a spate of white supremacist terrorist acts, not just in the U.S., but in, you know, in the global North, generally. I think that this addition to the terrorist repertoire of car-ramming is really troubling because it requires no training, it requires really no forethought, and it's something which, I think, really changes our sense of belonging or safety in public space. I think it's something which is deliberately designed to do that. Particularly in America, right, where the car is such a symbol of hate. It was in this country, too. We had a act of white supremacist violence involving a car-ramming just a couple of months ago. I mean, like really, really recently. And Mike Davis has a good line on this when he talks about the evolution of the car. I mean, he's talking about the car bomb in particular, but the evolution of the car, as he calls it, like a proletarian weapon of violence because it's, not only because it's widely available, but also because it requires minimal state surveillance. And really, it's the incremental loading of state surveillance onto our everyday lives that is behind this tactic, like necessarily. But I was just kind of... So, you know, I'm scared that we're going to see an increase of these things. And I think that we need to think about white supremacist violence in a way which can deal with the new technologies and tactics of the alt-right, but is also looking at it beyond those particular rhetorical, aesthetic, or technological trappings. I mean, can I? Yeah, of course. So, I mean, Andrew Breitbart, who founded Breitbart News, says that politics is downstream from culture. He was very interested in changing culture. And even Milo says when he goes on stage, he goes, I don't really care about politics. What if Trump was indicted next year? He goes, well, that would be terrible. I don't really care about politics. He cares about culture and he cares about changing the ideas in people's heads. So, in fact, for them, Trump was kind of well ahead of schedule in terms of their revolution, which they're not upset about, but it obviously makes things more complicated. How far will this go is contingent, I would say, on one group within that three. I said, the Southern Secessionist, the old right and American nationalist. If the Republican Party, which is very happy to tie itself into, I can imagine, as it moves away from failing neoliberalism, it will tie itself to mechanicalism, harder borders, clamping down on migrants and American nationalism. I can see that being a successful project with the Republican base, even maybe with Wall Street, and it can work. So, the question is, to what extent will that agenda scale out? Because that's the thing that's going to bring people in and that's the thing that the Republican establishment will defend the broader project under. So, yeah. But if they have an instant, like a Lee Rigby instant, I'm worried about what can happen in America because anything like that Trump will use as license to really, really, really, now migrants, now people of colour. Muslims. I mean, yeah, it's contingent on what kind of thing happens, right? But basically, yeah. But does he need that kind of dissociative opportunity? He doesn't need it, but I think that it would accelerate things. Like, I think they want to get rid of certain bits of legislation. We've put the screen grab of that message, for instance, amongst the all right, about the 1965 Migration Act. Yes. So, shall I read that? Yeah. I think I have it here. Two seconds. Bear with me. I have my glasses on. All right. Oh, yeah. Here we go. It's fixed. The title of the post is Fixing the Alt Right by, oh, by anonymous. Don't get trapped in an echo chamber where you can no longer relate to normies. Pretending that Charlottesville doesn't massively push the average white person away is really stupid. We have a chance to actually make changes now that Trump has shifted the overted window to the right, but we need to be smart and make the movement appealing to the, and this is in caps, average white person. And then there are a few suggestions as to how they do that. One, disavow all Nazi slash KKK edgelord lappers. That's live action roleplayers. I just know that off the top of my head because I'm a nerd. There is no way to lose public support quicker than going around making Nazi salutes and holding wiki torches whilst chanting Jews will not replace us. We will. It's a lie. This instantly makes the average person hate you. Two, build a populist movement with realistic incremental over goals repealing the 1965 immigration act and replacing it with something that both limits total immigration and prioritizes white immigration is an actual tangible political goal. Three, keep the long term goals covert and don't ever reveal your power level. Talking openly about a white ethno state only leads to failure and the average public turning against you. So disavow anyone who reveals his power power level his leftist will recognize dog whistles and know that we're crypto but normies won't listen to them. Four, start first by focusing on multiculturalism because it is a lot easier for people to see how non-white countries produce culture that is at odds with our values. People like Peter Teal, Theo? Theo. There we go. Thank you. Should be the voice of the alt right. Not cringe lords like Richard Spencer. Now you have it from the horse's mouth. Richard Spencer, a cringe lord. The modus operandi is covert power and economic demands. What do we think? What do we make of that? These people are organized. God damn it. That's terrifying. They're organized and the thing is that these policy objectives chime very well with Zeno racist neoliberalism. So the point is that this doesn't look radically different from say proposals in terms of EU migration policy even. In terms of prioritizing white migration over others talking about incompatible cultures. This isn't far away from the status quo that we have or indeed the one the 48% are trying to heart back to. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if this was Nigel Farage's like personal notebook, right? Or not even Nigel Farage. And for me, this is where contextualizing things within an understanding of Zeno racist state apparatus is really, really important because it means that we don't get caught up in just discussing like, you know, a fucking frog. All right. We can talk about this violence as something which is normalized into the fabric of our everyday existence and has much more sinister goals at the end of it as well. And we need to be able to do some concrete political thinking about the interconnections between, you know, the abject right as in the one which is cast as other castes a kind of insurgent force into politics proper and the central right the normalized right or indeed the racist left. We need to think about these things as a continuum and not as a kind of, you know, form of discrete subcultures. While I think that work analyzing the right is really useful. I would never dismiss it for a second. I think sometimes it can overstate subcultural analysis in place of a political one. I think what this where the ideas are coming from is these people. And if we look at who in this ensemble of actors who are the Gramtians. It's the right. The people that are thinking that strategically ahead in terms of over and covert goals. It's the right. And of course they're using the institutions and the rhetoric of American nationalists, the Republican Party. So in terms of your question was a good one. What was it? Oh, I mean, it was probably fantastic. But it was really excellent. Which one were we talking about? Because you were talking about you. Yes. So how successful could it be? How would you challenge it? Oh, yeah. Oh, fantastic. Spencer. I mean, Spencer is a clean cut American white guy, blazer. He was doing a PhD at Duke University. If he'd not done all this Seacile bullshit, he could have got a nice Shogunatehink tank, shut his gob and done precisely, and assumed precisely the same goals. And he wouldn't have been found out. And those are the people that worry me. Because yes, the media attention will look. And maybe he knows what he's doing. Maybe he wants to shift the over to window and he'll sacrifice himself. But for every Richard Spencer who's out there Seaciling, there'll be another 20 young kids doing the exact same things in the Cato Institute, interning for the Republican Party, in Wall Street, but working with donors to the Republican Party. So there is a shift here in American public life. And it's incumbent on the radical left to persuade as many average Americans, white, brown, black as possible. But also there's something incumbent on the Republican Party. The Republican Party can stop this. But Aaron, aren't the anti-fascist communists just as bad as the Nazis? No, it fucking works. But this is important. The Republican Party could stop this. But I've not seen anything. I mean, maybe I'm wrong. No, no. How could they stop it? I've not seen anything rhetorically from any Republican senator or congressman saying this is appalling. No, nobody's calling that Trump. No, I mean, you've had, like, you know, Marco Rubio say this is appalling white supremacist violence. The point is... No, they're calling that Trump. Calling that Trump's response. I mean, the issue here is that they won't take any meaningful steps to ameliorate this explosion of white supremacist politics. It's simply because they're working too hard and vote suppression in key battleground states because the demographic shift is going one way, which means a rapid diminishing of the Republican base and what they need are legalistic frameworks to suppress that vote. And also why they need to change immigration, of course, quickly. Precisely. Yeah, exactly. There'll be the white people. What is it, 2047? The white people will be a sort of... If you lump all kind of people of colour and immigrants into one block, by 2047 white people are supposed to be a minority in America. So, holding out for 2047 goes. No, but the thing is, and I think that this is a mistake. Yeah. Racism does not need numerical supremacy to work because hello, apartheid South Africa. Hello, slavery. Like, and it's actually that fear of being outnumbered indeed surrounded. And this is where the history of the plantation south is really important. That has been a catalyst for the most virulent and exuberant iterations of white supremacist violence. So, like, actually this idea of a kind of natural, you know, disintegration of racist apparatus on the basis of demographics is bullshit. Yeah, exactly. It's this kind of like... Which is why that there are... Which is why I think this stuff is happening, which is why you have a reinvigorated white supremacist street movement. I think that's why you have voter suppression laws making their way through different states. I think that's why you also have mass incarceration, which is a huge force for voter suppression. You also have, you know, energy moving in terms of changing immigration laws. All of these things are working in harmony. Yeah, and it's also one of the one of the reasons behind given this kind of like spurious faith in like a demographic shift being able to somehow like solve structures of violence that undergird racism as partly behind like a democratic party complacency, right? Because, you know, they didn't feel the need to challenge these, you know, to challenge the structural the structural underpinnings of racism because, you know, you know, we will... You know what, bitch, we have always outnumbered you, right? Yeah, there you go. And that didn't... Like, we, you know, didn't have the upper hand. And I think there's a great phrase from Marx on this, right? Between two rights, force decides. So let's talk about force. Let's talk about power. Yeah. I don't want to talk about abstract like, if I just like, you know, pop out three babies, maybe racism will end. I mean, the only successful slave uprising in history, as I understand it, was the Mamluks in Egypt and enslaved societies... What was that only... What's that supposed to be? Successful long-term one that wasn't crushed. Haiti? What about Haiti? Yeah. They were crushed, right? That's the point. No, Haiti, what? They were crushed. They were completely crushed. In terms of economic sanctions on Haiti, in terms of its development over the course of the 20th century. Okay, we're measuring successful very differently. There's a lot of successful ones. I'm saying one that they've taken a state apparatus and then they've become annually and they've managed to reproduce certain situations. Okay, if you're saying that, if you're saying that, that's different. That's different. I would still say like, Haiti offers some challenges to this, although the kind of ongoing project of like, white supremacist economic immiseration, certainly. We've gone far away. But that's a great point, rather, the numbers were totally asymmetrical. We've gone over, but this is all great stuff. I want to close up with the question of, so if it's not about tackling frogs online, although you can buy touchpepe pin badges on Etsy, all profits go to anti-fascist causes. If it's not like that and it's not about this kind of like, weird liberal faith in a demographic shift, what do we do about it? What does resistance look like guys? We are 40 years on from the Battle of Lewisham. Near here. Near here. Just down the road. And we are having these battles again and again and again. What does long-term resistance look like? One. No pressure. One. You absolutely do not adhere to the rules of politeness when it comes to challenging racism, either in terms of saying like, oh, you know, don't get me wrong. I love like a curry, but right, so you challenge like your racist Aunt Mabel. You see someone reading the sun, you ask them why you're reading that and you start normalizing these conversations because in silence, white supremacy can thrive. Two. You do not for a single fucking millisecond except that fascists have a right to organize or spread their propaganda. Yeah. Right. You nip that shit in the bud before it can become a Charlottesville. Right. There are liberals who will tell you, no, that makes us just as bad as them. It's like, no, because we don't want a genocide, right? So no, it doesn't make us just as bad as them. Yeah, there is a line in that line is maybe actually murdering people. Like it's not hard, guys. Three. Is that when it comes to movements of racial emancipation, like Black Lives Matter or whether it's organizing against the far right in this country or whether it's migrant solidarity movements in Europe as white people or as indeed people of color with relative amounts of social or economic privilege, you loudly, noisily proclaim your support for it and you put your body to it. I was really struck by a tweet that I saw from a friend of mine who was saying that, you know, I'm thinking of activists in Charlottesville putting their bodies on the line without free healthcare. Which when you think about that as an image of solidarity and, you know, that is what people are doing in that context and some people can't even bring themselves to Black Lives Matter in case it makes a social situation awkward. No, none of that. Because we're in an unacceptable situation where people are saying, oh well, if it wasn't for Black Lives Matter maybe Charlottesville wouldn't be happening and we're like, oh, if you didn't call the Nazis maybe there wouldn't be Nazis. No. What we need to do is normalize this course of racial emancipation. Yeah. Final thoughts, Aaron? I agree with all that. I mean, I think in Britain we've done a bit better than in the US. That's not to criticize anybody. It's just a different historical trajectory. Obviously Europe's had fascist problems to a far greater extent. So anti-fascist tactical repertoires are far more familiar but literally shut it and also liberals are far less likely to say, you know, let them associate or they still say, of course. So literally shutting places down, you know, if you need to buy any means necessary, shutting any kind of association between fascists down is of paramount importance. Trying to break down any means that have communicating their ideas be it off or online, really, really important. And then for the left, anti-fascism is really important as an obstructive set of tactics but also you need to offer utopias as well. So to people that could potentially buy into those ideas, sometimes for me, it's like with arguments around the economic utility of migration. I think it's such a limited argument and I think it so easily feeds back into this stuff that you need to say, well, actually, no, there's, you know, if we distribute things well, if we subordinate things to people's needs rather than profit, we could have more than enough for a planet of 11 billion. Like it's the, now I'm not saying open all the borders, just say it willy-nilly, we need to, alongside that, formulate concrete policies and politics which make that, you know, a reasonable horizon. So we need to offer practical utopias and how to get there. So it's a bit about it's trying to shut that down and then opening up new, new vistas of possibility. So we have it. Smash the fasc, demand utopia. Punch Pepe in the fucking face. And always punch Pepe. Thank you so much for joining us. This has been The Fix. I've been Eleanor Penny. This is Aaron Bostani. Ash Sarka. Join us on Thursday. For more hot takes, for more chat. Thank you so much. Bye. Bye. To be honest, like this is where we are. I've given conferences for ages and we'll usually expect some protesters. They'll do silly string or something like that. We've entered this new world where the leftist protesters know I'm not a neo-nazi. Do you like black people? Well, why do you hate black people? We're too very a black woman. We're too very a black woman. Neo-nazis don't love me. They kind of hate me, actually. KKK, neo-nazi. NATO's people don't like me, to be honest. Are you like the history version of the neo-nazi movement? What? It's Pepe's become kind of a symbol.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6OGvQhUy2U", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Yeah, it really seems that way again same idea He gets a juggle to and by the end of this combo louds gonna be fully back great defense the blocks are here Pulse light pants pulse Okay, you know, that's all right. Oh didn't follow it didn't go to like special move right there office one two four, but Just that's those a lot of meter And that had still had a little more a little more camo than he did to get the extra hold When you're holding the low hat, of course of Kung Lao look at that the cameo meter And how much media you have left is how long you can hold it a drains quick. There's almost shit point night, too Oh he did get there in time. Okay That's the idea for pulse you got to get over it, but you know zombie knew what was coming almost a checkmate situation Let's try to carry through nice one the blockable following that low hat into Try to answer here, but not zombie with landing jump kick. He's into pressure just like that throw out of the corner And I love how messy it gets when two loud hats at the screen because if someone holds it and someone doesn't Uh-huh some crazy things can happen We've seen a lot of situations where the person that throws it first gets to hit but the one that held saves them in the end All right, we're doing there's Yeah pulse understandably giving a lot of leeway here And finally got some hype going is Sombat here Finally seeing him come to life Both combat and Johnny Cage that dude about four went back to the start of this game You almost made menu light pants pulse Not gonna switch characters Okay, so it's a cameo switch. I still say I should play me in the biopic Combat look just like you with the black on black. It's unfair that they give us the same shades and the same shirt I'm just looking at the pants I don't know about the rest of this character Well, there's plenty of room in this man, and it's on Johnny's mansion to this plenty of room in the mansion for both of them There's plenty of room. Yeah, I don't know if there is I don't know if they agree with that You might be right. The world's not big enough for two Johnny's now that might be Lord At least they're fighting at a comfortable 72 degrees Very comfortable It's probably 72 outside, but he's clearly pumping with the windows open so It's we're gonna pump in some that's been pumping out damage plus frames and a prison Don't tell me sex that is plus on block. Yeah No It's for are you for real? Yeah, I Didn't know that Don't even talk to me for this isn't it? My wrong. I thought that it's on that one the first one as well. Okay. Okay be wrong. All right We're all getting mixed up here It is Johnny both full bar meter Close to the hype is Zombat if you want to try to style us again, and there's the low Yes, uses the hat just like you saw with gear us in the multitude of names that we saw from him put down Kung Lao hat do your setup whatever your character has to set up so good hype is activated Plus two guess again. I cannot push it any time. It's gone That's that's the crazy thing about hype is you have to worry about invisible invincibility. Yeah, for sure. For sure Super cool mechanic flight pants pulse pressuring looking for get the kill in the round. I think he's got it bombs away Listen to scream Pulse right is on the board Oh Nice what a pick up low reach the ferry Combat within a standalone but still I still knew that it was his turn It wasn't gonna check the time before three after nice block on the low sir X to the rescue almost maybe not for long Actually as Zombat has the corner Facts off to get the hat pressure. He's in the corner now He's in the corner, but it's his turn no longer whose house is it? That's what they're battling over. That's what it's all about Zombat saying it's mine right now Even though that backs to the wall watch this Always block light pants pulse making it happen up close. Sox is not back quite yet was a fourth row Okay, had to spend the three to get out of there The lazy boy and they're falling from the sky with the jump kick	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v62OZ57pLq0", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCZKMj3YI0wP-kq4QYpaKdEA	OpenShift Commons, Amsterdam 2023: AMA with Red Hat Engineers, Product Managers and Leads	Speakers, contributors, engineers and other members of the community take the time to answer questions from the audience. Lead by Karena Angell. https://commons.openshift.org/join	[ "OpenShift", "Hybrid Cloud", "Open Source", "kubernetes" ]	2023-04-21T17:50:28	2024-02-05T16:12:31	907	v6s5KznHULs	So we do have some ODF product managers here, and I've invited them on stage, even though they're not red hat and engineers, speakers, if you want to come up on stage and if anybody has any questions, we'll have Lenka running around and so appreciative to her for, come on, you're just leaving me up here by myself. Well, you would, you would. I mean, let's talk APIs, I'm just kidding. Okay. Thank you for joining. Okay. I know, Peter. Oh, come on. I know. Let's see. Thank you. Then we'll do a quick round of introductions. If you were a speaker, please join us. I know people had questions for you, and I was so rude and I shut them down so we could keep going. We're almost to the reception. Fabian, I know. Right? Okay. I'm going to pass this around really quick. Now, also, memorize these faces. So as you go through KubeCon, if you want to have some deeper discussions, deep dives, you know who to reach out to. So I'm going to start over here with Michael. Hello, Michael Rivnak. Been in containers for a while. Installation and bare metal are maybe my things. Hey, everyone. My name is Peter Hunt. I mainly work on cryo and sig node and KubeLit things. So anything pod running related? Hey, everybody, Michael McKeon. I work on cloud infrastructure, cluster API, cloud controller managers, that kind of stuff, auto scaling. Hi, my name is Daniel. I'm standing at the edge, which makes a good image because I'm the product manager, OpenShift Edge. That means I cover single node OpenShift, multi node OpenShift, remote worker nodes, if deployed to edge locations and most prominently, micro shift. Yeah, I don't care about it, I'll be a mess. I'm Chris. I'm one of the ODF PMs. And I'm not going to be at KubeCon, so just hit me up now. Hi. I'm David Eads. I currently work as a staff engineer for OpenShift. I spend a lot of my time upstream in Kubernetes for the past eight years or so, probably specialized control plane, auth, etc, integration with OpenShift at sort of whatever level we need. Hello, I'm Augustin. I'm a principal engineer from MAMadeus. I'm currently focusing around the prometo UI, how to improve it. I also created Perces, just repo, not all the code. And yeah, I'm also working on that currently. And we are in close collaboration with Reda to improve it. Hello, my name is Alban from MAMadeus as well. And I'm, let's say, expert on prometo and Thanos topics. Hi, my name is Ricardo Noriega. I'm working on edge computing related topics and micro shift. And hello, I'm Michelangelo Ajo. I also work at edge computing topics in Red Hat. I have a past in hardware development and I think that works really well with edge and I'm trying to make things move there. Karina Angel, OpenShift Foundations and OpenShift Commons. Hello everyone, I'm Vanessa Martini. I am the PM for OpenShift Analytics and Observability UI. So I'm one of the PMs of OpenShift Observability. Hello everyone, this is Naina. I'm the OpenShift Serverless PM and Serverless has Knitif serving for event-driven functions and Serverless logic for workflow orchestration. And you can come and talk to me about other layered products like service mesh, GitOps, pipelines. Hey, I'm Damiano Donati. I am an engineer on the OpenShift class-stream infrastructure team, MAPI, cluster API, control play machine sets, all those things. I'm Joel, I'm the team lead for the class-stream infrastructure team. So all the same stuff as Dam and Mike. I'm Fabian. I'm taking care of Qvert at Red Hat. Yeah, you just heard who I am. Norris, Samo Sanganko, SVA and yeah. Ask me questions if you have any. Peter Golovski, IBM. I'm responsible for architecture overall, the IBM products on running on OpenShift. Any questions? Ask me. Okay, now's your chance and I see Thomas didn't come up here but I'm not gonna call you out. All right, first question. I know you weren't shy earlier. We are really close to the reception though. Right? Okay, what about up here? Are there any questions that you'd like to ask of the audience? I know. Yeah, absolutely. Can I get a raise of hands? How many people here have been cluster admins on something like say at least five node clusters? That is a lot better than I thought. How about total number of clusters? Cluster admins for more than 15 clusters. Oh, still a few. 50? Five zero? All right, still got a few. That's very interesting to me and how many people would call themselves platform extension developers. So someone who's gonna write a CRD, maybe a controller to store some data. All right, look at that. Glad to see all that. If you have questions about that sort of thing or just wanna talk about it, I am very interested afterward and I'll be at the reception. Thank you, David. Also ask him about PKI. Hey, one presentations earlier talked about hyper shift and there's been a lot of talk about how control planes are evolving. So would anybody up there like to talk about that? So hyper shift is being developed by a sister team to ours which I think is why I've taken the mic on this. I know it's coming later in the year for basically a self serve. You can have the dense control planes running as pods on a single cluster and then you just have your workers spinning up to it. We're looking at getting that into Rosa, into ARO and the idea is we save money, right? Like control planes can spin up in minutes rather than the 30 or 40 minutes it takes for an IPI installed today. And yeah, you get much more dense compute custody. They've, yeah, I don't know what you wanna know about hyper shift. I can certainly give you the contact details of the lead and then if you wanna know more I'm sure they're happy to talk. Thanks Joel. All right, any questions? All right. Hi, so specific to like observability I guess. You'd mentioned an observability operator at a pretty high level. Could you talk about any more details for like in this GitHub links? So at the moment it's still working progress but if you get by the Red Hat booth in the next days I can give you a better overview. But definitely we are really putting a lot of focus on that, on the simplification of the data collection part and how you can adjust what you want to collect. So if you will come by I can show you some more details definitely. There's hopefully an easy one for David. You mentioned that the choice of cell was around one of the advantages there was that if a calculation is too expensive you just won't run it. Will that be surfaced as an error? Is there a way, what does that look like? If I have a validation that is that complex what are my roots out of that problem? Right, so we're still looking at that. Admission is at an alpha level so I guess I should back up one level. The first set that I presented was static. It exists inside of a schema in our CRD and those realistically aren't gonna be very complicated in terms of runtime unless you do some really unusual things. And in that case your solution is to look at your prometheus metrics you're gonna see that it's expensive you will get a rejection from the API server and you'll be able to go and say this has to be fixed and if you own the platform extension I can't remember if you raised your hand but if you own the platform extension and you hear that you were too expensive you need to fix it because it's everywhere, right? And then we have another part that runs in admission and I think cluster admins are probably aware of that because they've had webhooks go bad and there were a bunch of you at least some of you have had a webhook go bad at least once. And when that happens you get a runtime error as well and we're still looking at the API for that. Do we wanna have an API that says I'm willing to budget this one higher? Maybe. Do we wanna have a flag that says nothing more than this? Maybe. But right now it is set up to give you a runtime error you will be able to see where it comes from and then you'll be able to see it in your metrics and make a decision am I gonna change it or not? There's a question over here Lenka. Thank you. Hi, my name is Felix. I'm more kind of cloud native at the big cloud providers Kubernetes at the moment with my team and we are switching over and searching for new distributions for on-premise operations. So my question is, how would you sell me OpenShift as the best on-premise distribution? Do we have marketing up here? So I would look and say that the roots of Red Hat are on-prem when you compare against other vendors in the area that's actually really valuable. The other thing that we have is we have it all the way down to the OS. So if there's a problem and it's on-prem, we have it. We have worked with people to bring new hardware up to date and say, okay, you need this hardware enabled we can help make that happen. And our linkage to that hardware, the accessibility that we give it to our clusters is really, really good. Whether you're on bare metal whether you're on VMs it works extremely well and it was developed to serve there as opposed to you have an offering that runs on a cloud and now you're trying to fit it in. There could be differences there, right? Is that satisfactory? All right. Oh, sure. I cannot do that because it extends to the whole platform. For example, it starts with AirGap disconnected installations. Have you ever tried to install EKS AirGap? Good luck with that. And we have it just from the runtime platform but also for the management development tooling if you need to develop your solution completely AirGap and we have customers needing to do that all the management aspect if you think about for example advanced cluster management, Quay, ACS all of these can run completely AirGap on-prem but you can also of course connect them to the cloud if needed. If you need to add something just for a couple of weeks more compute power add a cluster in Azure AWS, whatever and add and scale out as needed and that is the beauty that you can mix and match as you need. So on the technical side, as you mentioned also for example on the AirGap side there are different integrations like with the Cloud Control Manager also where you can directly spin up worker machines from vSphere so you see them in your vSphere topology and this developer experience I call it always extends towards the UI so I don't think there is like a holistic offering where you currently have like the UI aspect that you have on the cloud where you can see your applications you can organize them and you also have the technical part and the good thing is usually it's based on open standards so that's also gives you a benefit to use your existing knowledge like Istio or Canada for example or like obviously the GitOps and so on so yeah, that's what I want to add. This one is not marketing at all. Are there any other questions? I would like to follow up on that question on how many OpenShift clusters do you administrate and run? Being the Edge product manager I'm obviously interested in do you have clusters in general? Let's say Kubernetes clusters doesn't have to be OpenShift could be something else don't be shy on that. Do you have clusters at the Edge? Edge being defined as not in your traditional data center not in your cloud somehow restricted in resources like networking, physical size be as generous as you think. So if you have something running at the Edge Kubernetes-based raise your hand please. Sorry, what was that? Yeah, of course, yeah, you're a smart home. Okay, thank you. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6s5KznHULs", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

That is going to be the topic of this video and I'm going to tell you exactly how you can do that for yourself. And this is going to be done by using what's known as competency-based education as opposed to traditional education. So at a traditional university, you essentially have to attend college for a certain amount of time. Now the average is going to be 5.1 years, but typically it's going to take you around four years at least. This is a little bit silly in my opinion because there are many degrees out there where it is going to take you four years. An example of that would be an engineering-related degree. If you're able to get that done in four years, that's actually an accomplishment. But there are lots of degrees out there that are nowhere near as difficult as an engineering degree. They're not even close to being as rigorous. And yet colleges try to fit everybody into that four-year model. And this is especially bad considering the cost of college in the United States has been steadily going up since the 1970s and the value has been going down. So naturally, alternative universities have started to pop up and they use what's known as competency-based education. And this is where you are tested based on your competency. So if you are really good at a subject, whether it takes you a week to learn it or five months to learn it, if you are able to pass the test, they deem you competent and you get credit. And there are several really good universities out there that now do this. Now the one I'm going to be using as an example in today's video is going to be WGU or Western Governors University. This is probably the most commonly known competency-based university out there, but there are some other really good ones. And there are countless amounts of testimonials on YouTube, Google, Reddit, et cetera, of people who have gone through WGU and gotten degrees in less than a year. And in some cases, less than six months. And in extreme cases, there are even people who have speed-ran degrees and gotten them in two months, like my friend Josh Matacor, who did that with a computer science degree. And WGU is a top 10% regionally accredited industry respected university. This is not one of those crackerjack box degree for-profit scammy universities that you always hear about on the news. Now up to the point of doing this series, I only shared the tactics and strategies that I'm going to talk about today in private consultations. And there's two reasons for that. One, they're really valuable, of course. And two, I didn't think that I was going to be comfortable sharing all of these tactics and strategies because the truth is, not everybody is going to be perfect for a competency-based university. So I do want to make sure to tell you that you need to do your due diligence. There are a lot of pros to going to competency-based universities, but there's also some cons as well. And I'll talk about that later in the video. And I'm actually going to break this down, make it ridiculously easy. I even have a cheat sheet that I made specifically for this degree. And I'll put that down in the description as well as the pinned comment below. And this is going to be a four-step process. And I highly recommend you listen to every single step and do exactly as I say, because if you decide to skip a step or you don't do it correctly, that can cost you months or even years of time, as well as thousands of dollars. So if you appreciate me going through all the trouble of making this series, it took me like hundreds of hours to do this, go ahead, gently tap that like button, and let's jump into it. All right. So the first step is going to be the simplest one, but you don't want to skip it. And that is you are going to go ahead and transfer in your existing credits. Now the cool thing about WGU as well as other competency-based universities, and by the way, you can use this exact process at other universities, you just have to make a few changes here and there. But the cool thing about them is that you can actually transfer in a lot of different things. They tend to be very gracious about the credits that they accept. So normal universities are relatively stingy when it comes to accepting credits from other colleges and even accepting high school credits. I've seen many examples where universities for whatever reason will not accept college credit from a class that you've already taken at another college. It doesn't make any sense at all, but they just decide randomly to not accept the credit. I've also seen examples of universities where they don't accept AP credit, and these are classes that you take during high school. So for instance, you'll take an AP class and you'll score a three on it, which is passing, but the university will only accept somebody who scores a four or even a five in some cases, which is absolutely ridiculous because almost nobody scores fives. So not only does WGU accept those two and they tend to be very gracious about that credit, but they also accept CLEP exams, certifications, and certificates. In some cases, they'll even accept classes that you've taken on random websites like Udemy, and on top of all that, in some cases, they'll accept work experience and military experience. So WGU is extremely gracious about the credits they accept. Make sure you take your time at this step. Get your transcript together, your resume, your work experience, even random classes you've taken on Udemy. Make sure you get that together and send all of that into the counselor at WGU. And once you send that in, you're going to get a list back of the remaining classes that you still have to take. And at this point, you're going to move on to step number two, which is the most important step. And that is you are going to go ahead and not enroll in WGU, but you're going to use third-party companies to test out of many of the remaining classes. So we're not enrolling yet. In fact, we don't enroll until step number four. And they might be putting a little bit of pressure on you to enroll at this point, but don't do it. So I like to call this the test out phase. And you're going to be using these third-party companies to test out of classes before you even start at WGU. And the reason you're doing this, rather than just enrolling in WGU and starting right away, is very simply because it's faster, cheaper, and easier. And there are many examples of people online for some of these WGU classes, especially the technology-related ones, where they will actually test out of like 75% of the classes before they even enroll at WGU. And by the way, this is one of the tracks you can take for the network engineering and security degree. This is the general track. There are other tracks you can take that specialize in other things. And I'll talk about that in different videos. So here's an example of somebody who didn't heed this advice, or maybe they just didn't have access to it, but they tried to take the intro to Python course at WGU, and they found it to be outrageously difficult. And they recommend that you take it at study.com. And study.com is the website that I typically recommend. They're my favorite one overall. They have really good user interface. You actually learn while you're taking the test, and they're just relatively easy. And it's just kind of a seamless, frictionless experience. So study.com is my favorite. My second favorite is going to be Sophia.org. And then my third favorite overall is straighterline.com. Now for this particular degree, you do have to take 37 classes total. And if you use the methods I'm talking about in this video, you can actually test out of all the classes except for 15. So you can test out of well over half the classes before you even enroll in WGU. Now I always like to say this, some of my students, especially the ones that are on the younger side that, you know, don't have a family a full time job, they're super busy, can knock out like one class per day, especially the entry level classes, sometimes even multiple classes per day using study.com. But with that being said, if you are very busy, you've got a family full time job, etc., you can still do one per week relatively easily. You just have to make sure that you're disciplined and you're diligent and you're doing a little bit every single day. And doing the math there 37 classes, one class per week, you know, obviously you can't knock all of them out that fast, but you can knock out a significant amount of them in just a few months. And like I said, there's many examples of people who have knocked these degrees out in a year and a half, you know, a year, sometimes even less than that. And I think it's very realistic, even if you have a full time job, a family, etc., to do it in two years or less. And that's the entire process, including being enrolled at WGU. Now, once you've completed these classes, you've transferred everything that you can transfer into WGU, you're going to go ahead and move on to step number three, which is a very important step that a lot of people skip. And that is you're going to go ahead and pre study the remaining classes, right. So a lot of people skip this step. And I think it's a huge mistake. And there's really two things you want to do. Not only do you want to pre study the remaining classes, but you want to have a realistic plan of how you're going to go about completing those classes. And the reason you want to do this is because ideally, you want to try to knock all the classes out in one term if you can. And if you're super busy, I totally understand, maybe you want to do it in two terms, but you do not want to be in a situation where you're almost done with whatever term you're in and you have like five classes that you still have to take. Because best case scenario, that's going to be incredibly stressful. In worst case scenario, you're going to end up having to enroll for an entire another term just to be able to finish your degree. And unfortunately, you'll have to pay for the whole thing. So you want to make sure that you have a really good plan. And you want to make sure that you pre studied the classes so that you can finish them as quickly as possible. So there are two resources that I think are phenomenal here. These are really the only two resources you need because they will lead you to the other resources that are going to be best. And those are going to be the WGU subreddits and the WGU Facebook groups. So basically, in the subreddits and Facebook groups, they are going to share tips, tricks, strategies, etc. on how you can study for the classes as efficiently and cheaply as possible, and then test out of those classes quickly. So there's the main WGU subreddit, and then there's sub subreddits, I guess you could say, for all of the different degrees and degree tracks. And they will recommend all kinds of different resources depending on the class you're taking. So for instance, they might tell you, Hey, this class is really good. If you go over to Khan Academy, this class is really good. If you go to Udemy, that sort of thing. And then once you feel confident in your preparation and you feel confident in your plan, you are going to move on to step number four, which is you're finally going to enroll in WGU and knock out the remaining classes as fast as you possibly can. Now this step is pretty self-explanatory. You're going to enroll in WGU, you're going to start taking those remaining classes, and you are going to try to finish them as quickly as you possibly can. Now make sure to leverage your mentor as well as your instructors at WGU, especially for some of the harder classes like version control, network analytics and troubleshooting, etc. Now here's what my friend Josh has to say about this degree. This is probably tied for first place with one of the cloud tracks, honestly, in terms of marketability and just how cool the program is. But the caveat to that, I will say it's probably going to take longer than average to complete this one, especially the Cisco track because it has CCNA. And by the way, let's just quickly go over the overall strategy. Step one, you're going to transfer in existing credits. Step two, you're going to test out of classes using third-party companies like study.com. Step three, you're going to pre-study the remaining classes. And step four, you are going to enroll and knock those classes out as fast as you possibly can. Now we're going to go ahead jump into the cheat sheet, which I put down in the description as well as the pen comment below. And we're going to go through this step by step, and I'm going to make it as simple as possible. All right, so we are now in the network engineering and security WGU cheat sheet. And I will just quickly walk you through exactly how to use this. First of all, if you want to do this entire process yourself, because I'm going to be showing an example in this video. But if you want to actually just use this cheat sheet, be able to edit, put all of your information in, go ahead and just go to file and make a copy. This will allow you to edit the cheat sheet. But the downside to this is if I make any updates on it, you will not see the updates. So you might want to check this original cheat sheet from time to time. Now that being said, let's go over some housekeeping stuff. On the far left here, you're going to go ahead and see the ID number for the class at WGU. And the reason that we included this is because of the fact that many times on the WGU Facebook groups, as well as the WGU subreddit, they will actually talk about the classes in terms of the ID number. And the reason for that is because it would be kind of a mouthful or it would be a lot to just type out the name of the classes every single time. And so they use the ID numbers instead. And so this makes it very easy for you to search different classes. So for instance, if you are, you know, taking data management foundations, you would search D426 on the WGU subreddits and Facebook groups. And there's probably a bunch of people who have already talked about that. So that makes everything a lot easier. In this column right here, we have the actual names of the different classes at WGU. This column right here is the units for each class. This column here is probably the most important column. And that is going to be the study.com classes that transfer in to WGU. So just to make this very simple and straightforward. If you take math 101, which is study.com 0013, which again, that's something that you might want to search because sometimes they do refer to them by the class number instead of the class name. But if you take that class, it will transfer in for applied algebra at WGU, right? So I made it mapped it out to be just like super easy and straightforward. Now, if study.com doesn't offer it, we also included alternatives at straighterline and Sophia.org. So for instance, this class right here, web development foundations is not offered at study.com for some reason. But we do have an alternative at Sophia.org that you can take. And in the future, if there are other alternatives or if you know, study.com has other classes that you can take that pop up, we will try to include those on this sheet. So definitely check back because we will be trying to keep this sheet up to date. And I might even make kind of like a webpage on my website that automatically updates it. Now, another thing to note here is there are also certificates and certifications that you can take that will also transfer in for WGU credit. So definitely a good idea to take those in many cases. It is kind of a case by case basis, but definitely can be a good idea to take those. And then the final thing, this final column right here is going to be the type of class. So the green ones are general education, the yellow ones are core and the red ones are program specific. And then of course, you have the capstone at the very end. Now very generally speaking, the green ones are the easiest, yellow are medium and then red are the hardest. Now let's go ahead and go into the four step process. So step number one is going to be transferring in existing credit. So of course, I'm just making all of this up. This is just an example. But let's say that during high school, you took AP economics and you also took AP math. So you're able to transfer in your math class and your economics class. Now you also took a semester of traditional college and you didn't like it, but you were able to finish a class, which is humanities 201. So you also transferred that in and then you decided to take a bunch of different certifications and certificates. And so you were able to transfer all those in because you knew you were going to go in for something, you know, network engineering related. So you might as well knock those certificates and certifications out because they're very valuable on your resume. So at this point, you would go ahead and move on to the test out phase where you would test out of all the remaining classes that you can. So you'd be using study.com to test out of many of these remaining classes. And once you test out of all the classes that you could, you would transfer them into WGU and you'd get a list back that looks very similar to this if not exactly the same. So there's about 15 classes left that you still have to take care of course. And at this point, you would move into the pre study phase. So you would pre study a bunch of these classes, if not all of them, and you would also make a plan for trying to pass the classes as quickly and efficiently as possible. So again, you'd want to use the WGU subreddits as well as the Facebook groups. That's the most up to date information on how to pass these classes quickly and efficiently. And once you felt confident, you would go ahead and move on to step number four, which is you would enroll in WGU and knock out the remaining classes as fast as you possibly can. And of course, the mandatory step number five is you are going to have to brag to all of your friends and family that you are able to get a legit bachelor's degree in a year. And if you're really nice, you will share this video with them so that they can do the exact same thing. Alright, so one thing I always like to say when it comes to this subject is competency based universities like WGU are phenomenal for many people out there, but they aren't necessarily for everybody. There are pros and cons to them and you should definitely educate yourself on that. And also there are alternative competency based universities that are really good that might be better for you in your situation. So I talk about all of that in this video right here, which I highly, highly recommend you check out.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6bOUc1Dz4k", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

But if you log on to YouTube and you look up what to do, you'll probably see a bunch of videos about how college is a scam and instead you should invest in their $1,997 course. And this is gonna take you from broke loser to $30,000 a month in 28 days. Not like many things in life, the truth is somewhere in between these two extremes and me, like millions of other people have had to learn this the hard way. I went all the way through the college meat grinder and actually got a doctorate. So I understand the entire system and how it works from an insider's perspective. And although it did turn out relatively well for me, you know, I got a doctorate, I was able to make six figures working in a medical profession. I knew many people who actually had terrible experiences doing this. In fact, I would say more often than not it turns out bad where people have a lot of regrets about their college experience. Because the truth is the value of a college degree has been dropping for a long period of time, yet the cost has been going up. And when your grandparents and your parents went to college, they could basically get any degree and it would be a good investment. And the reason for that is because a college degree was so rare. But recently, nearly 70% of people have been going to college. So a degree really isn't rare anymore. It's all simple supply and demand. And on top of that, 40% of people who go to college actually end up dropping out. And out of the remaining people who finished their degree, two thirds of them have regrets. And one of the main reasons is because of the college debt that they have to take out. One of the second biggest reasons is because of the fact that college is not preparing them for the workforce. And for that expensive piece of paper, only one in four people end up working any career that has anything to do with their degree choice. And so it's very important that if you're gonna go to college, you get a degree that's going to be worth it from a financial perspective, especially if you're taking out student loans. And you wanna get a degree that's actually going to help you achieve your goals in life. Not a degree where you're gonna have to work double shifts at Starbucks and McDonald's in order to pay back your massive student loan debt. And by the end of this video, you're gonna know what degrees have the best return on investment, you're gonna have a much better idea of how you can choose the best degree for you. And on top of that, I'm gonna teach you how to gently tap that like button for the evil YouTube algorithm. No, but all joking aside, I am gonna help you figure out what degree would be best for you, or if you should even get a degree at all. And I've literally helped thousands of people find their ideal careers. I've done lots of different interviews on this channel. It's basically like a cheat code for you to figure out the best opportunities out there. Because basically the slogan for this channel is go where the opportunity is. And when you do that, it's gonna give you an unfair advantage on being successful in life and achieving your goals. So I highly recommend subscribing so you don't miss out and let's get into it right now. All right, so first one on the list is going to be science degrees. And there's a lot of science degrees. Many of them are not that great. I'm gonna choose chemistry. So this is the major that one of my favorite writers of all time, Kurt Vonnegut briefly took. He wrote the book Slaughterhouse 5 as well as Cats Cradle. And oftentimes in his books, he would actually talk about chemistry. And he had a really morbidly dark and absurd sense of humor, but always with kind of a positive silver lining to it. You know, there's always like a hopeful underlying message, which is something I always try to give off on this channel as well. I tell you guys the reality of the situation, but I think the best thing is to be a rational optimist. And I know these painful truths can be hard to hear sometimes, but the truth is there's a lot of amazing opportunities out there and the world can be a great place as well. Anyways, back to science degrees and chemistry degrees specifically. So I do get comments on this channel from time to time, from people who are basically just like, get a STEM degree, bro. And this is from Bobo's who think that they know everything, but the truth is it's not that simple. Out of the STEM degrees, science degrees are the worst, especially at the bachelor's level. This is something that I do cover in other videos, but chemistry is one of the best ones. So chemistry does rank number 54 on my college degree ranker out of over 900 degrees. And if you look at the stats, it is pretty good. Now, if you wanna become a scientist and really if you wanna get a lot of those high level jobs with science degrees, you will have to get a master's and in some cases even a doctorate. And of course that's gonna be a lot of extra schooling, but if you do get a master's or a doctorate, as long as you have a good plan going in, it can be worth it. But at the bachelor's level, science degrees are clearly not as good as the other four. Now in conclusion, some of the science degrees can be really good. And one of the biggest perks is everybody is saying these days that you need to trust the scientists, bro. Even if they're wrong time after time, right? So whenever you're wrong, you can just say, well, the data suggested at the time that I was right. So in the 2020s, getting a science degree is basically a license to say whatever you want and get away with it. Fun times we live in. Anyways, just kidding. Onto the next one. Number nine on the list is going to be economics. So a weirdly large amount of famous people in all different walks of life have gotten economics degrees. And I'm not even kidding. There's actually articles about this phenomenon on the internet, right? So this one's called, want to be famous? Study economics. So business leaders like Warren Buffett, Sam Walton of Walmart, and Steve Ballmer of Microsoft are a few examples. Then there's former US presidents like Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Then you've got sports figures like John Elway, Tiger Woods and Bill Belichick, and even musicians like Mick Jagger. Yeah, it's ridiculous how many famous people have studied economics. And when you think about it, it actually kind of does make total sense, right? Economics will give you a great understanding of how the economy works and where the opportunities are. Now, let's say you're a very smart, very hardworking person, but you go into a business that doesn't have a lot of opportunity. Like you go into a dying industry. You might still end up being successful, but it's probably going to be much harder. Your chances of success are going to be lower and it's not going to be as profitable, right? So instead of being able to make a million dollars in like five or 10 years, it might take you 30 years. But if you take that same person, put them in an industry that has a lot of opportunity, they're going to have a much higher chance of being successful, plus they're probably going to be more successful AKA they're going to make more money and they're going to do it faster. Plus it's not going to be nearly as stressful. And having a strong understanding of economics and how supply and demand works will lead you to making these decisions where you end up in situations where whatever you're supplying, AKA your skill set has a very strong demand. So I'm not going to go over the stats much on this video, but economics does come in at number 27 on my college degree ranker. And yeah, it can be a really good one. And it is a social science degree technically. So it is one of the better social science degrees. Number eight on the list is going to be a physics degree. And this is one that has a lot of the biggest giga brains of history, like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Marie Currie. There's also a bunch of astronauts that got physics degrees. And on top of that, the billionaire playboy himself, Elon Musk got a physics degree as well. And this is a degree that has really good statistics overall. With that being said, you're not going to become a physicist with just a bachelor's degree. You're going to need to get at least a master's if not a doctorate. But even with just a bachelor's degrees, lots of companies in the finance industry, for instance, love hiring physics graduates because they know they're getting a big brain individual. And a lot of companies have this strategy where they basically just hire the smartest people for the role. And if you're able to complete a physics degree, which is really difficult, they pretty much know that you're going to be smart. So physics comes in at number 18 on my college degree ranker. Really solid statistics. You can argue here correlation versus causation. A lot of the degrees on this list are kind of like that basically really smart people tend to do well, whether they get a college degree or not. And it's debatable whether the college degree itself contributes to their success. But there's really no way to tell that. And if you really look into it, it's probably a little bit of both. So yeah, physics is really good here. Another one that's also really good that's kind of in the same realm is the next one on the list. And that is mathematics. Now there is a lot of famous people that have studied mathematics as well, such as Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, and a bunch of astronauts again. Now the stats on this one are great, but again, you could argue correlation versus causation here. But one thing is for sure, if you are good at a skill that is valuable in society and there's not that many other people that are good at the skill, and if you like it, it's even better, then that is going to be something where you're probably going to be able to make a lot of money with it. And mathematics is obviously one of those skills. So in that particular case, it would be a great opportunity for you. And that's what I always tell you to do on this channel, which is to go where the opportunity is. Now this one is actually tied with the next one on the list, which is statistics. Now on my college degree ranker, mathematics comes in at number 22, and statistics is around there as well. Now there are some subtle differences here, of course, like mathematics, depending on sort of where you take it and what you specialize in, can be a little bit theoretical, right? So it's not nearly as practical when it comes to solving problems in the real world as something like statistics, but it still can be really good. Next one on the list, number five is going to be business degrees. And there's tons of famous people that have also graduated with business degrees like Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and P. Diddy. Now business degrees have the reputation of being relatively easy. They have the reputation of being the degree that people who like to party, but they still want to have a decent job after they graduate with college get. But the truth is when you look at the statistics, especially considering how easy they are compared to a lot of the other ones on this list, they're really good. So for instance, management information systems comes in at number 17 on my college degree ranker. And management information is basically kind of business skills mixed with a little bit of technology skills as well, and that's a great combination. And in the modern world, learning about technology is probably one of the smartest ways for you to leverage other skills. So for instance, if you're an artist and you want to get paid to do art, you can use technology to blast your art out to thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people. And I really do think that in the next 20 years, artists that are smart about how they go about monetizing their artistic skills are going to dominate. And by the way, 99.9% of the time, that is not going to involve going to college if you are an artist and you want to make a living from art. And I have a ton of great advice that's coming out for people who are artistic and they want to make a living from art. So make sure you subscribe to the channel so you don't miss out on that. For instance, one of the things that GigaBrains around the world are doing right now is they're getting chill remote jobs that teach them valuable skills. And I made an entire video that's the remote job tier list where I rank the best and the worst remote jobs. And you can check that out right here. Speaking of jobs that can be done remotely, the next one on the list is going to be technology related degrees. Now, although technology degrees are the new kid on the block, they still have a good amount of famous people that have studied them. So for instance, one of them is Liam Neeson. That's right. Don't try to hack his computer because he has a very particular set of skills and he will find you. But yeah, technology related degrees are really good when you look at the numbers. For instance, information technology is my number 15 ranked degree on my college degree ranker. But the downside of technology degrees is there's actually alternative ways to get into technology related careers that are much faster, cheaper, and easier. They're not for everybody. The degrees are certainly not a scam by any means. They have good numbers, but there are simply better ways for many people out there to get into those careers. For instance, I did an interview with James on my channel who was able to land an entry level IT job after being a carpenter in Philadelphia and then trying a bunch of different odd jobs like delivery driver, et cetera. So he was able to land an IT job in a few weeks using an iPad. And I'll put that interview right here if I can remember, you can check it out. So yeah, technology degrees, not a scam by any means, the numbers are great, but there are alternative ways to get into technology related careers. Another really good one you can do is still getting a degree, but going to an accelerated university like Western Governors University, and I've covered that on this channel as well. So in many cases, you can get a degree in a year or less. Number three on the list is going to be health related degrees. And particularly we are going to be talking about a BSN to become a nurse. And BSN stands for Bachelors of Science in Nursing, but there's a lot of other really good health related degrees out there. So of course, there's gonna be many different famous titans of their industries on this list like Paul Gasol, Kim Jong, myself, and also Dr. Phil. But yeah, all joking aside, I did get a health degree and they can be really solid options. One of the things that's amazing about health careers is you actually do have to get the degree in order to get into the career, right? It's not one of those things that's optional like technology related careers. I also think that health related careers are probably the most stable careers you could possibly get into. So even if it was the end of the world, for instance, there would still be nurses and doctors taking care of people. And that's why there's always multiple doctors in every single zombie movie or zombie show. So on my college degree, ranker nurse comes in at number 21 and physician assistant comes in at number eight. So yeah, health can be really great. There's definitely pluses and minuses to getting into health related professions. Definitely check out the other videos on my channel about that. But number two on the list is going to be engineering degrees. So Bill Nye, the science guy, Ashton Kutcher, Cindy Crawford, Mr. Bean, and a plethora of different CEOs like Jeff Bezos also studied engineering. And engineers are basically the masters of the universe, the S tier human beings of existence. And the rest of us should honestly just be glad that engineers allow us to occupy the same space as them. But why is it that they're only number two on the list? Well, let's talk about the good and the bad of engineering. First of all, in order to become an engineer, you do have to have an engineering degree. So there is a natural barrier to entry there, kind of like healthcare degrees. Second, engineering degrees are very difficult. Now this can be a bad thing, but if you are able to get it done, employers kind of know what they're getting when they hire engineers. They're getting someone who's very smart and very hardworking. And they're very likely to hire you, even if it has nothing to do with engineering. And the third thing, this is probably the most important one, is engineering teaches you practical problem solving skills. So sometimes degrees like mathematics, for instance, will teach you problem solving skills, but they're not nearly as practical or as applicable to the real world as engineering degrees are. And that's why you see that over the last 40 years, engineers actually on average earn more money than any other type of degree. Now that doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna be the same thing over the next 40 years. Now engineering degrees absolutely dominate my college degree ranker list. I believe seven out of the top 10 degrees are engineering degrees. So why is it that I did not put engineering degrees at number one? Well, because there's one degree that stands above all of the other ones. Yes, this is the God tier degree and that is going to be computer science. This one ranks number one out of over 900 different degrees on my college degree ranker and it absolutely does have the best stats. And if you get this degree, you're typically going to become a software developer. And if you become a software developer, you are pretty much set for life. For instance, if you look at people who are involved in the fire movement, which is the financial independence, retire early movement. This is kind of a movement you can check it out on Reddit if you want. And this is basically a bunch of people who are trying to retire in their 30s and 40s. And typically they have jobs, right? They haven't even started a business. Many of those people, I'd say probably the majority of them work in technology and specifically software development. And not only can you make incredibly good salaries when it comes to working in tech and software development, but on top of that, you have great benefits, you have great work-life balance. A lot of people will get really good bonuses as well as stock options. And there's this new thing emerging called being over-employed where a lot of people are actually getting multiple jobs. And the reason they're getting multiple jobs is because of the fact, they probably only have to work like one or two hours a day in many cases. If they have all that free time, might as well get multiple jobs, right? And if all of that wasn't enough, especially for the top two on this list, engineering and software development, I think they are amazing if you want to start a business down the line. So yeah, computer science, number one on my college degree ranker list, of course I'll have it pop up on the screen. It is getting a little bit harder to get into software development. It used to be extremely easy. You basically just needed to network and know the bare minimum coding skills and you would be able to get a job. Now you really do have to know your stuff. Getting a computer science degree is one way to get there. And this is one that you can get into without getting a computer science degree, but it is gonna be a lot harder than a lot of the other tech related careers that I've mentioned on this channel, like IT for instance, IT help desk is very easy to get into. So is tech sales. Now you shouldn't just go for computer science because it's the best degree. You should go for a degree that complements your skillsets. And that's exactly what I teach you how to do in this video where I go over the ultimate guide to choosing your college degree, which you can check out right here. I definitely recommend you go to that video.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V63ELIpfd2g", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCvymH6qvAgCpzuRkXIw1ywg	The Whistler - Sing a Song of Murder	09/17/45, episode 173 Old Time Radio Researchers Group -Video Upload powered by https://www.TunesToTube.com	[ "1945" ]	2017-02-19T14:05:00	2024-04-23T14:18:03	1,771	v6g3z0xoRhk	Signal gasoline. Signal. The new gasoline you can prove is superior. A signal oil company and your neighborhood signal dealer bring you another curious story by The Whistler. Tonight, sing a song of murder. I'm The Whistler and I know many things for I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. Success is a curious thing. Sometimes it comes very slowly, the result of a lifetime of dull drudgery. And sometimes it comes quickly, almost overnight. It was that way with Bill Randall. The fact that he was the most popular singer in the country wasn't as amazing as how quickly it had happened. Less than a year and he was on top. His voice was as much a part of the average teenager's life as her Bobby socks. Everybody was very happy about it. Everybody, that is, except Bill Randall. Bill wasn't happy at all. And after his broadcast one night as he was taking his manager home, he told him why. Showing pretty well, Bill, but I thought you were going to run over a little. You've got to learn to judge times better. Why don't you get in the habit of timing everything you do? That way you've got better. Well, Gordon, I didn't offer to take you home to hear a lecture. I could be doing other things, you know. Yeah, yeah, I know Romeo. You and your swooning dames. But I didn't ask for the lift. Diana got to pick me up. I want to talk to you. So you want to talk to me? Hey, hey, better slow down a little. They keep this highway pretty well patrolled. That's better. Keep it at 35 and they'll never bother you. That way we ought to get out to my place about 10 minutes to 10 anyway. But you do drive the local bus. No, I just timed it. At 35 miles per hour it takes just 36 minutes over the highway. You see, that's what I mean about timing things. That's what you ought to do. Gordon, what I want to talk to you about is... You can switch on your country beam now. Let me do the driving, will you? Frank, that contract of ours. Yeah, what about it? I'd like to buy it back. Not a chance, golden voice. Well, I'm getting pretty sick of getting hooked. I'm willing to give you 10,000 for it. Don't make me laugh. You're worth half a million to me. Yeah, that's just it. I'd like to start making some money for myself for a change. Now, why start that? Well, I think it's a dirty deal and I don't mind telling you. Dirty deal? That's gratitude for you. Listen, hotshot. Who were you before I got hold of you anyway? Just another punk singing in a joint. I'm the guy that built you up. I put you where you are. You? My voice put me where I am, so you got a voice. Look, swooner boy, there are lots of guys floating around with voices just as good as yours. The biggest asset you've got is a smart manager. I'm the guy that's made the difference between you and all the other two-bit troupe-a-dors in this town. You see those girls swooning all over the studios tonight? I did that for you. Why shouldn't I get a cut? A cut? You call 40% of my earnings just a cut? No more than I should get, Randall. Anyway, why should you worry? You're making big money. You're making it to me. Time I pay you off and my agent and taxes, I haven't got anything left. And what happens when they don't like me anymore? I gotta think of the future. Listen, pretty voice. I'll do the worry and if any needs to be done, you just keep on singing. That contract's got six more years to run. I know, I wrote it. Now, that time I won't even have a voice left. My doctor told me. He said I've got to take it easy. I've been overworking my throat and it gargled. And I won't have any money left either. I'm not the one who's getting rich on this setup, you know. This isn't getting anywhere, Randall. I'm not going to sell you your contract. I'm not going to tear it up and I'm sure not going to give it to you. You signed it? I've got it. That's all there is to it. Well, I will see about that. Listen, Welcher, you start trying any smart stuff about backing out of that contract and you're going to find yourself in trouble right up to that fat head of yours. You understand? Here's the term. I know. Hey, stop in here at Gus's. I'll buy you some gas. Oh, do you think you're going to afford it? I've got a full term. No, don't start getting nasty. Aborting that contract. I said forget it. Well, let's see. Four minutes to ten, we're right on time. There's the cutoff. Will you quit that timing routine? What cutoff? Oh, it's the old road from town. Cuts off a little distance, but nobody uses it anymore. Now they get the highway. Come on in. No thanks. Come on in. I've got some endorsements I want you to sign. Besides, you're going to have a drink to soothe those poor, overworked tonsils of yours. That isn't very funny. Come on, come on, come on. Oh, all right. Hey, guess Diana stayed home tonight. Have any luck finding a housekeeper today? No, I guess I have to carry on a while longer. Well, it's not going to hurt those delicate hands of yours. I've got those endorsements in my desk, Randall. Come and take a look at them. What are you going to do? Make me sign them? What do you mean? That gun on the drawer. Oh. No, glamour boy. I don't think I have to use a gun to handle you. I just keep it because it's a good idea to have one living way out here, you know. Well, here they are. Look them over. I'll go fix some drinks. Oh, I'll fix them, Dad. You stay here. Uh-uh. You make drinks like a Sunday school teacher. I'll fix them. You stay and keep Golden Throaty accompanying. Well, Diana, you're trying to avoid me? Well, I know I... How about proving it then? What do you mean? Bill, don't. What's the matter with wanting a kid? Just that that's about all you ever seem to think about anymore. Well, you know anything better to think about? You think that just because you're where you are now, you can have anything you want. Well, seems to work. You didn't used to be that way, Bill. I didn't know what the score was. Now, remember how you used to be. We used to go for walks after the late-floor show and buy popcorn and just talk. And you used to tell me the things you wanted doing. Oh, kid stuff. I wasn't dry behind ears. And now you are? Oh, let's not dig up that stuff, Diana. How about dinner tomorrow night? I'm... Sorry, I'm busy. How about the night after? I'm busy then, too. Sure you are. You're probably busy the night after that, too. You're always busy now when I want a date. It didn't used to be that way before I signed the contract. What do you mean? You know what I mean. Before I signed that contract with your dad, you were very willing to go out with me. Bill, that had nothing to do with it. Oh, no, no, nothing at all. You just used to see me to hear me sing because you liked me. You just told your dad about me out of kindness. And you just talked me into signing with him because you thought he'd do something for me. That happens to be the truth. I don't think dad's been fair with you either, and I've told him so. You expect me to believe that. I'm not that big a dope, even if I was silly enough to think you love me. I did, Bill. I did. You were sort of a nice guy in those days. But no, well, you've changed. You're the one who's changed. I love you, Bill. But I'd love you a lot more if you signed your soul over to my father. Bill, don't say things like that. Yeah, the truth hurts, doesn't it? It isn't the truth, and you know it. You've no right to talk like that. You've got that idea in your head, and you won't listen to anything else. You've gotten so bullheaded, so conceited that you don't have anything. All right, okay. It doesn't matter anymore, I guess. I'm hooked. But listen, Diana, someday I'm gonna get even, understand? Get out of here! Remember, someday I'm gonna get even. No, that wasn't exactly a tender love scene between you and Diana, was it? Those things she said about you, how you changed, how conceited you were. They didn't set very well, did they? They made you pretty angry. You told her you were hooked. It looks as if you were right. The juicy offers flooding in don't make you feel any better about it either, do they? They just put more pressure on you, make you realize you've got to figure a way out of that contract. Then your throat starts bothering you again. So you go to see your doctor. I'm afraid I have some bad news for you, Mr. Randall. Yeah? What is it, Doc? You've got to quit singing for a while. Oh. Well, I'll take a week off. It'll have to be a lot longer than that. You'll have to quit for at least a year. A year? Oh, I can't do that. You'd better. If you don't. If I don't? Your voice won't last another six months. Six months. That's what the doctor said, Bill. Six months. Then you'll be all washed up, no voice left. And the money you've got won't even pay your debts. You know, you've got to think of something. The pressure's building up, Bill. You've got to find a way to break that contract. The next day you go to see your lawyer. You figure maybe he can help you. And he does without knowing it. As you sit listening to him, an idea starts coming to you. I've been over that contract a dozen times. There isn't a loophole in it. It's airtight. Look, Steve, suppose I tried to prove that I didn't realize what I was signing. Oh, no. I'm afraid not. You did know what you were signing and you could never prove you didn't. You just didn't realize it was going to mean so much money. No, you might as well give up and serve out that six years because as long as he's alive and kicking, he's never going to let you out of it. Yeah. As a matter of fact, even if Gordon should die, his share would go to his daughter. He's seen to that. They're both holding the whip hand over your bill, both of them. Yeah, I'd have to get rid of both of them. Well, I'm glad you still have a sense of humor. Yeah. Well, Steve, I'll be running along. Thanks for everything. I'm sorry I couldn't help you, honey. Let's get together soon for a little golf, huh? Okay. So long. So long, Bill. Yeah. Yeah, I've got to get rid of both of them. It was just last Monday on the Whistler that Signal Oil Company first announced new post-war Signal gasoline. Yet in that short week, thousands of Western drivers have made a wonderful discovery, a discovery of thrilling new performance they never dreamed was built into their cars. For a new signal isn't just another gasoline, not just pre-war quality, not just an improvement on old-style gasoline, but an entirely new type, SuperFuel, that embodies in one giant stride the amazing advances of wartime chemistry. Yes, new signal is the new gasoline you can actually prove is superior. Prove it in four ways. One, with quicker starting the moment you touch the button. Two, faster pickup. You actually feel it. Three, higher anti-knock. Just listen to that old motor purr even on steepest hills. And four, you'll find you go farther than ever with new signal because you'll be shifting less, enjoying more economical high-gear miles. Really, now, wouldn't you like to discover just how much fun driving can be? The way to do that, you know, is to drive into one of the friendly stations displaying signals, familiar yellow and black circle sign, and say, fill her up with new signal gasoline. And now, back to the Whistler. If you want to break that contract with Frank Gordon, you've got to get rid of both him and his daughter Diana. That's the only way out, isn't it? You've made up your mind of that. But you know you need a plan, Bill, and you need an alibi. Not too much of an alibi, just enough. After your show that night, waiting for your appointment with Gordon, you're thinking about it. The plan is starting to come to you. You're late. Look, I'm not in a mood for any cracks. What was the crack? What's eating you? Diana. What's the matter with Diana? Man, that little dope I gotta knock some sense into her. Why would she do? Oh, I cut down her allowance for running the house and didn't tell us her one of her check spouts. She got all upset about it and we had a big scene. So you had a big scene? Yeah, but it was in front of a lot of people we had at the house. I lost my temper and slapped her. She told me she hated me and went to her room. In front of all those people? Oh, that's too bad. Well, what do you want to see me about? You know what I want to see about. There's endorsements. You stormed out of the house without signing them. Yeah, so I did. Now I've got to come traipsing around to give them to you. Looks like I have to plan everything for everybody. And here they are, little boy. Maybe you can quit parking long enough to put the famous name on the dotted line. Hurry it up, too. I'm costing me a good money here. Now get off the dime. I'm going to sign up, Gordon. It's about time, prima donna. Here. Well, you almost lost your temper again, didn't you, Bill? You almost said something else. You've got to watch that. But the plan's beginning to take shape in your mind. That scene between Gordon and Diana in front of all those people. You can use that, can't you, Bill? That'll fit in very well. And what was that that Gordon said about having to plan everything? Why not let him plan this, too, Bill? You start remembering things he's told you, things you can use. It takes 36 minutes to Gordon's house over the highway, remember that? And there's a cut-off. And that gun and his drawer, you can use those things, Bill, all of them. Maybe it'd be a good idea for you to find the shortcut. So one day you drive out that way and locate it. It's a nice, deserted road and you time the trip. You can go as fast as you want on the shortcut. Fast enough to make it in 18 minutes. 18 from 36 leaves, 18, doesn't it, Bill? 18 minutes to kill Gordon and get up to the gas station on the corner so it'll look as if you came over the highway all the way. That's all the alibi you want, isn't it, Bill? Just enough. Now all you need is the right night. Hello, Diana. No, you. Look, Bill, I thought we'd settled all that. I don't see why you keep calling up every night for a date. I've told you there's no... So, Diana, I want to see you to tell you that I... You told me enough the other night. I don't think there's anything more to say and I wish you'd stop calling. I suppose you're busy tonight. Yes, I am. Anybody I know? That's another thing I wish you'd stop asking. It doesn't happen to be any of your business. No, I just want to know who the lucky guy is. It isn't a guy. I happen to be going over to Dorothy King's house for the evening. Is that all right with you? Yeah, sure. Have a good time. Thank you. Good bye. What say, Diana? Yes. As long as you won't go out with me, I might as well take care of some business tonight. Would you tell your dad I'll be out around ten to talk over some things? I'll tell him. Thanks, Diana. Bye. Goodbye. Dorothy King's, huh? It's three miles the other side of Gordon's. Just right. Okay, tonight's the night. That's about all for this broadcast, folks. This is Bill Randall thanking you for listening and asking you to be around same time tomorrow night. Is it a date? Yes, be with us tomorrow night. Same time, same station for another edition of Songs by Bill Randall. And don't forget, this is National Safety Week. Drive safely and save a life. It may be yours. This is Bill Randall saying good night. You ducked the autographed kids and you're out of the studio now, hurrying toward your car. You knocked him dead again tonight, didn't you, Bill? But you're not thinking about that now. All you're thinking about is your car waiting for you. And you're time scheduled for the next 45 minutes. It's all time, Bill. Time to the minute. And here's your car. Hi. Are you Bill Randall? Yes, officer. Is your car? Yes, it is. What's the trouble? I'd like to check your brakes, Mrs. National Safety Week, you know. We're checking cars. Oh, well, officer, would you mind if I got it down the road away? I've got an appointment in that direction and I don't want to be late. I guess okay. Only don't forget to do it. It'll probably be stopped anyway. Thanks, officer. I'll take care of it. That gave you a start, didn't it, Bill? Seeing that cop standing beside your car. For a single panicky moment, you thought he might know what you're going to do. But he couldn't know that, Bill. He just wanted to tell you it's National Safety Week. That's a laugh, isn't it? It's not exactly going to be National Safety Week for Gordon, is it? But you're late now. He cost you two valuable minutes and you can't afford that. If you're going to stay on schedule, you've got to hurry, Bill. You've got to hurry. You're on the back road now, speeding up. The minutes are sliding by. 10, 11, faster down the back road. 13, 14, your foot's pushing the pedal to the floor. 16, 17, the car's wide open. You're going to make it, Bill. 18, 19, and you're there around the bend from Gordon. You're almost on schedule now, Bill. But you've still got to hurry. Hey, what's the matter? Bill, what's the matter? Quick, fight your gun. What's the problem? Someone's following me. Yeah, quick, give me your gun. Okay, it's right in here. I'll get it. Thank you, Frank. Well, there it is. Don't just stand there stupid. I thought someone was after you. No, Gordon. Someone's after you. Hey, what is this? Put down that gun. Not just yet, Gordon. Have you gone crazy? Give me that gun. Don't move. Oh, Gordon, I haven't gone crazy. I was crazy to sign that contract, but I'm not anymore. Well, you're blowing your top. I'm going to break that contract, Gordon. And I'm going to use your gun to do it. Don't be a fool. You can't get away with it. They'll find you. I don't think so, Gordon. They'll be too busy pinning it on someone else. Well, Randall, say maybe we better talk a little. Shut up. They've talked enough. I'll get on that phone and call Diana. Man, I don't know where she is. Oh, quit stalling. You know she's a Dorothy King's. I'll pick up that phone and dial Crescent 2417. Tell her to come home immediately. It's an emergency. I'm nothing more. Do you understand? Okay, okay. Hello? I'd like to talk to Diana, please. This is her father. For the last time. Shut up. Hello, Diana? Listen, baby, come home right away. It's an emergency. She ought to make it in about five minutes, huh? Yeah, I guess so. She gives you about 30 seconds more to live. Now, Randall... You know, Gordon, you used to tell me I couldn't judge time, didn't you? Well, I've gotten better. This is time to the minute. But Bill, for pity's sake... You might be interested in knowing just how well it is timed. Diana's gonna get here in a few minutes, and a little after that, the cops are gonna walk in and find her standing over your dead body. I think they'll jump at the obvious conclusion. Diana, why? You're not gonna drag her into this. You quite the fun parent all of a sudden, aren't you? Yes, I'm gonna drag her into it. And when the cops hear about that scene between the two of you the other day, and when I show them something I've got in my pocket, I don't think they'll have much trouble establishing a motive for her. Pretty neat, don't you think? No, Bill, no. Now, listen, please. Let's talk this over, huh? You... Yes, Gordon. Don't... Don't... You've done it, Bill. There he is, and you're not even nervous. Your plan has worked beautifully so far. It's 20 to 10, Bill. It gives you five minutes to make a phone call and get up to the service station on the corner. Oh, please? This is Frank Gordon at 21 Denning Lane. I'm over right away. You're through now, Bill, except for the fingerprints. Don't forget to wipe them off the gun and phone and door. Now you're ready. Out the door, back to the car. Get it started. Down the back road, turn to the right. Down the side road toward the highway, around the block, and into the service station on the corner. You made it, Bill. Yes, sir. Five of the regular. Yeah, bet you. Joe, five regular. A little cooler tonight, huh? What? Oh, yeah, it is. Hey, mister, did you know your tail lights out? No, I didn't. I'll have it fixed. Yeah, but let me do it now. It only takes a minute to put in a new bulb. Well, I don't know whether I've got time. I've got an appointment. What time is it? Let's see. You're about 10 minutes of 10. 10 of 10? Oh, well, okay. Put it in. The bulb is right here. Put it in a new supply. It's a nice safety week, you know. Cops checking for things like this, tail lights, brakes, and driver's license. Yeah, that's what I hear. Good thing, too. Cops cut down a number of accidents. Can't be too careful, you know. Yeah, that's right. Can't be too careful. Yeah, well, there it is. Very simple. Well, water okay? Yeah. How much do I owe you? 90 cents. Here's a buck. Keep it down. Thanks. Hope you're not late for your appointment. I don't think I'll be. Mr. Randall. Yeah, officer. What's happened? I was told you were expected. What's the matter? Diana. Well, dead. What? Mr. Gordon is dead. Dead? Oh, how? What happened? He was murdered. Murdered? I'm looking at me like that. I don't know. Oh, no. No, Diana. Of course you didn't. Mr. Randall, we'd like to ask you a couple of questions. Why, sure. You had a 10 o'clock appointment with Mr. Gordon. Yes. Did you see him earlier? Well, no. Did you talk to him over the phone? Not today. What was your appointment about? Why, it was just some business. What kind of business? Well, I'd rather not say it. It might look like... Let's have it, Randall. Well, all right. It was about this agreement I have here. Gordon was going to sell me his interest in my contract. This was the agreement. I was going to give him $10,000. Here's the check. What? Well, he said he told you, Diana. I asked him especially because... Well, because you stood to inherit your father's interest in my contract, if anything happened to him. That's why I didn't want to mention this business. You know, it might look like she... Well, I see. You've been a big help to us, Mr. Randall. But I'm sure you can account for Diana's whereabouts throughout the evening, officer. Yes, we can. We know where she was a little after the time Gordon was murdered. She was right in this room. And with what you've told us, I'd say the case was just about wound up. The whistler will return in just a moment with a strange ending to tonight's story. Meantime, here's a special message for you folks from Missouri, the Show Me State, or any of the rest of you who like proof. For I want to show you just why it is that new signal is so superior to old-style gasoline. Why new signal is actually an entirely new type, super fuel. You see, gasoline is composed of countless different hydrocarbon molecules. In pre-war gasoline, the molecules were left just as nature made them. But under the impetus of war, chemists found how to take the molecules themselves apart, actually how to rearrange the atoms within the molecules. The result is the thrilling, amazing power of signal's new gasoline, bringing you performance so immediately apparent you can feel it, see it, hear it. Yet in new signal, you enjoy this premium performance at no extra cost. Now, if you have that Missouri trait, I can hear you say, you got to show me. And that's just what we want to do. Next time, fill up with new signal. Let a tank full of this new super fuel show you in your own car that new signal is the new gasoline you can prove is superior. And now, back to the whistler. Yes, Bill, the case is just about wound up. That's what the officer said, and now you're trying not to smile. It looks as if your plan worked perfectly, doesn't it? But the officer is still talking, Bill. Maybe you better pay attention to what he's saying. We know where Miss Gordon was because she picked me up on her way over here and brought me with her. There are lots of us on the highway tonight. It's National Safety Week, you know. You see, that telephone call she got from her father sort of aroused her suspicions. She hadn't told him where she was going tonight. As a matter of fact, you were the only one who knew. Anyway, when we got here together and discovered the body, and I checked up with the people Miss Gordon had been with, I knew she couldn't very well have done it. But I don't... Randall, can you account for your whereabouts? Why, yes. Yes, I can. I left the studio right after my show at 9.15, drove out here on the highway, stopped for gas at the corner. I think I got there about 10 of 10. I see. Anything unusual happen on the highway? I know. I just drove along at my usual speed. That's very interesting, Randall. Very interesting. I told you it was National Safety Week. So happens we've been stopping everyone on the highway since 8 tonight, checking driver's licenses. I'm sure we'd have stopped you if you'd been on the highway. I think you'd better come with us. Next Monday at 9 o'clock, the Whistler will bring you another strange tale. The Whistler is broadcast for your entertainment by the marketers of signal gasoline and motor oil and fine-quality automotive accessories and by your neighborhood signal dealer. This program, directed by George W. Allen with tonight's story by Robert Reif, music by Wilbur Hatch, is transmitted to our troops overseas by the Armed Forces Radio Service. This is Marvin Miller speaking and suggesting that you try new signal. The new gasoline you can prove is superior. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6g3z0xoRhk", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC4al3A_gysYEIzAM1L2qZbg	2019 Quarantine Awareness Week	2019 Quarantine Awareness Week address by Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, Physical Planning, Natural Resources and Co-operatives, Hon. Ezechiel Joseph.	[ "Government of Saint Lucia", "Government Information Service (GIS) Saint Lucia", "GIS St. Lucia", "St. Lucia Government", "Official site Government of Saint Lucia", "St. Lucia Government news" ]	2019-06-24T15:16:33	2024-02-05T16:08:01	349	V6W5eBbkS1w	Good day fellow Saint Lucians, this week has been observed as quarantine awareness week in Saint Lucia. The theme for the week, safeguard Saint Lucia's agriculture, don't pack apace. Arriculture continues to be one of the major contributing sectors to the economy of Saint Lucia and this must continue to be so if we are to ensure that food and nutrition security for our nation. Although we are experiencing production increases in bananas, fruits, vegetables, root crops, poultry, small ruminants and pork, Saint Lucia agricultural sector is challenged by a number of issues. The constant threat of the introduction, establishment and spread of pests and diseases can be viewed as one of the major challenges. This has been given top priority as changes in global trade. Coupled with the increased movement of people in a changing climate has also inadvertently increased the movement of pests and diseases. Over the years, the invasion of many pests and diseases has severely affected agricultural production, causing changes in production methods, loss of production, increased costs of production, food and nutrition insecurity as well as trade and quarantine restrictions on countries' agricultural commodities. The veterinary and livestock division and the research development division of the Department of Agriculture has been mandated to provide quarantine services to ensure that the country's agriculture is safeguarded from the entry, establishment and spread of pests and diseases. This important duty has been significantly supported by key stakeholders namely the custom and exercise department, the Saint Lucia Air and Sea Port Authority and the Ministry of Trade. The movement of agricultural commodities in our state of Saint Lucia are guided by 1. Plan Protection Act No. 21 of 1988 and the accompanying Plan Protection Regulations No. 66 of 1995 and 2. Animal Diseases and Importations Act No. 7.17 of 2008 and the accompanying regulations. These legislative documents mandate that before any plant animal or the products and by products are imported into Saint Lucia, a permit must be obtained from the Department of Agriculture. Quarantine Awareness Week aims to educate all Saint Lucia on our role in safeguarding the nation's agriculture and also our borders and to launch the Don't Pack a Pest initiative. The Government of Saint Lucia continues to put measures in place to emphasize and ensure sanitary and phytosanitary requirements are adhered to. It is the hope of adopting a common standardized health approach to achieve good agricultural health food safety and security and by extension promoting good public health. In closing, I wish to advise all travelers to be mindful of the potential danger of bringing in animals, plants and the products from abroad without the necessary permit as they can pose a serious threat to our agriculture and socio-economic well-being. I also want to reiterate the need to contact the veterinary and livestock services and the research and development divisions of the Ministry of Agriculture for information on the importation of animal, plants and the products. Plant and animal protection is everybody's responsibility. So let us do our best and Don't Pack a Pest. I thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6W5eBbkS1w", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It can be activated when cells experience stress, such as exposure to radiation or chemicals, and it regulates many processes within the cell, including cell division, DNA repair, metabolism, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and more. There are several types of P53 proteins, each with unique functions. These proteins are modified through fast-relation and acetylation, which affect their activity levels. Additionally, P53 can also be degraded through ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. When P53 is abnormally activated, it can cause cancer. Targeted therapies for P53 signaling are currently being developed, but they are still in the early stages of testing. One drug, TiP1, targets the mitochondria-dependent apoptosis pathway, which could potentially be used to treat certain types of cancer.

On Friday I discussed how that is a key risk component to the markets. I further said that there are other components in my view that create risk in the markets, that is valuation, extremely high book values, the notion that stocks can only go up and also real estate, and that if you just invest in index funds, put your money in index funds, you are well diversified and you will do well over time. So those are the key components of my risk perception over the markets and what can happen. So today we're going to talk about valuations and at the end of the risk series I'm going to tell you exactly what will be the best investing strategy and what to do from a very positive but based on knowledge and accumulation of facts what exactly you have to do in order to do well when investing over the next 20 years. But the key is to understanding the risk. So let's talk about valuations and how those create risk when investing. Going back to Buffett he says a lot of things but most of the things he says is sound eternal investment knowledge and one of the things that he stopped constantly repeating because he probably got tired of that is that your return on investment will be perfectly correlated with the earnings a company produces over time. So your return corporate earnings. The valuation can go up and down in cycles as it always does market cycles but as you're a long-term investor your long-term return will be related to earnings. So the focus is okay what are the earnings and what am I paying what's the price I'm paying for those earnings that is the valuation the price to earnings ratio. If we look at the SAP 500 the current price to earnings ratio is 25.13 and it has been higher only a few times in history somewhere in the 1800s still in the dot com bubble and of course in 2009 because SAP 500 earnings were very very low and that's why the price earnings ratio was high. Okay but price earnings ratio tell us okay they are really a static factor so you have to see how will that dynamically evolve over time. If the price earnings ratio is 25 the expected earnings will be 4 percent. However if we look at the growth of SAP 500 earnings we can see that it's always volatile. Now it is 20 percent looking back to last year but it was negative in 2016 it was almost negative in 2013 it was very very negative 90 percent decline in 2009 similarly 50 percent decline in 2002 when the last two recessions were. So the next recession we can expect again a drop of 50 60 70 percent. So don't expect that SAP 500 earnings grow 20 percent over the next 5 10 years because that never happened as you can see on this chart and will never happen probably this market is so crazy that anything can happen but okay going back to the SAP 500 earnings growth in 1980 the SAP 500 adjusted for inflation here earnings were 50 now they are 6.95 107 if I calculate the yearly growth over those 48 years I'm at 2 percent so SAP 500 earnings grew in the last 38 years 2 percent per year what does this mean this means that you can expect earnings to grow alongside the economy perhaps a little bit lower perhaps a little bit faster the economy is expected to grow at 2 3 percent over the very long term and with ups and downs you can expect SAP 500 earnings to grow at that rate so the return that you get from buying now is 4 percent and the growth earnings growth is 2 3 percent over the long term this means that your long long long term return from stocks will be 4 5 percent which is very low from a historical perspective and will dig deeper in a moment this is what I want to show you the SAP 500 level and price to earnings ratio if I start from the points the earnings of the SAP 500 in points is 107 this means that at the price earnings ratio of 50 the SAP 500 should be above 5000 at the price earnings ratio of 40 it should be above 3000 at the price earnings ratio of 20 above around 2000 2140 price earnings ratio of 10 at current earnings the SAP 500 should be at 1000 1070 points so that's the risk from an evaluation perspective and whatever if you look it from a dynamic market cycle that's a huge risk because if the required earnings from the SAP 500 are 10 percent somewhere in the next 10 years the SAP 500 will be at 1000 1100 1200 points as crazy at that might look now of course adjusted for inflation but inflation is something you have to think about so as crazy that might look now that's a huge risk for just investing in the markets additionally the bonds yields are increasing so let's say you are the manager of the Norwegian pension fund and you have your exposure to the united states and you look okay SAP 500 will give me 4 percent but now you see the 10 year treasury will give me 3 percent next year let's say 4 percent and then the fund manager of the Norwegian fund will say okay the risk is I need to adjust that for risks I want now 6 percent from the SAP 500 because I can get 4 percent for exposure to the US economy through bonds this means that the required earnings increase 50 percent which means that the valuation drops from the current 25 to 16 that means that if the required earnings yield from the SAP 500 goes to just 6 percent just 6 percent not 12 not 26 the SAP 500 drops to 1700 points and that's a risk for the general market if we look at a global perspective global developed perspective we can see here the third column the price to earnings ratio in brazil is 21 finland 22 indonesia 22 uk 22 belgium 23 almost philippines 23 united states 24 here data very a little bit around databases norway 24 switzerland 26 india 26 other emerging markets 28 emerging america 29 italy 30 say the highest price to earnings ratio in the world with the current election it will be even better nevertheless you can see how extremely high are the valuations and the second column here perhaps even more important is the cyclically adjusted price to earnings ratio which takes 10 year average earnings and that metric is even higher for the us and it is at 32 and let me show you this this is simply all you need to know about investing especially in the long term these are the returns on the x-axis you have the cyclically adjusted price to earnings ratio when it is 10 you can on average expect returns as you can see from all markets around the world of around 10 per year for the forthcoming 15 years on the y-axis you have the returns when the k-prasio is around 20 which means that earnings yield is around 5 percent you can see that the returns over the next 15 years are around 4 percent and the higher the cape is the lower are the returns and whenever the cape ratio is above 30 there is a bigger likelihood that the returns will be negative over the long term and you can see how whenever the cape was above 40 there are few exceptions when returns were barely positive over the 15 years in all equity markets however you can expect negative returns on a high cape ratio of at least returns not above 4 percent when the cape was above 20 the us market hasn't seen returns of above four five percent so that's it that's a huge risk for long term investors pension funds whatever however you are not a mutual fund which means that if you're smart you can carefully pick when to invest where to invest and how to invest i'm going to continue with my series on risk because that risk will lead us to the final video of the series when we will tell okay these are the risks which means that that is exactly what you have to watch in order to successfully invest over the very very long term looking forward to your comments thank you for watching i'll see you in the next video	{ "url":

Good. So let's go ahead and start to kick things off. I think our first thing we need to do is to go ahead and pick a couple of scribes for meeting to have any volunteers. It's a pretty easy process. You just kind of type a little bit about what you hear. Ideally we like to have two people do this so that there isn't any problem if one of our scribes won't just go and talk. I'll go ahead and post the link also to the Google doc here. Please go ahead and add your name to the Google doc as well just to kind of let us know that you're here. I'll add my name right now. Ash is here. That's great. Super. Okay. So Ash is volunteer described. Can I get one more? Somebody, anybody? Oh, okay. Lakshmi. Awesome. Thank you. All right. So we'll go ahead and kick it off. As before, we will start with our introductions. We have some discussion on the list about whether or not we should move away from everybody doing intros but since that hasn't been settled yet, we'll start. I'll go ahead and start first and then I'll be going by the order of the names inside the Google doc. So once again, please do add yourself there so that I can get an update. So this week has been pretty busy for intoto tough things like this. We've discussed like moving from up to graduation for tough and moving up to incubation for intoto and had some conversations around that and we've had some other good things happen with adoption that unfortunately I can't talk publicly about yet. So I think next here is Justin Cormack. Yeah, so I've been working out, yeah, trying to put together a small group with Steve Lasker on making reworking nature. We've had some conversations over the over the months with it about reworking nature to be a registry native protocol. So if anyone's interested in that, can they ping me? This is basically so that the natural metadata is stored in a container registry rather than as a separate store, which means it's portable to move around from one place to another, which is a large requested thing from a lot of people around usability of containers in lots of situations where you're using multiple registries. So if you're interested in that at all, please come and talk to me or Steve Lasker if you know Steve and we should be putting together some meetings starting next week hopefully. Great, I know I'm certainly interested so I look forward to joining. Awesome, okay, lots. Hi, nothing to report on security this week. Okay, thank you. Ash? So I've addressed some of the comments in the OPA assessment talk. I think as for your recommendation Justin, so if everything looks okay, I've addressed like regarding the GitHub issues for the points in the recommendation, I've tried to consolidate those into a single issue. If you think we need separate issues for each point, just like if it warrants that, we can do that too. But yeah, just let me know what you guys think about it. Okay, I think a good way for us to perhaps go forward with this would be for you and I and Sarah to have a call because I've been talking quite a bit with her about things because she really was leading a lot of the in total assessment and we're trying to you know, make that all be fairly uniform. So why don't we set up a time to do that? Yeah, sure, sounds good. Yep. All right, thanks. Radu? Is the plan to present that one of these meetings once we finalize it? Yes. So the plan is that at one of the TOC meetings when Six Security gives an update, they'll talk about what their findings were from the OPA assessment. Okay. And the way this happens is somewhat TBD. I was under the impression that we would need to present that earlier, like a week or so ago, but later on it was discussed that we would probably do that at a later time. So yeah, I was like waiting on September 3rd for an OPA update, but it didn't happen. So I thought what, what, what, what went wrong there? So yeah. Yeah, sorry about that. I think it was, I was reading too much into an email that was sent that there were two conflicting email chains. So anyway, but let's, let's move on. So Radu? Hey everyone, I'm working on integrating tough and in-toto with the CNAP project, and I'm also interested in the RMX project and the advancements. So I'm working on specifically integrating both tough and in-toto in a go project and also interested in running the verification process in a container for reproducible verification. So yeah. Thanks. Excellent. Yeah. I think that'll be of interest of a lot of people here. And obviously don't, don't hesitate to reach out to myself or others if you have any questions or stumbling blocks or things like that. Thanks. Locke to me. Yeah. So I addressed Sarah's comments on a new member space and that is not merged. The PR is not merged. Okay. Awesome. Thanks. Christian. Hi there. Actually, I have nothing to report on the security side, but I did attend a webinar that brought up a pretty good point about default configurations. And I was wondering if we have a list of insecure default configurations for a lot of popular open-source softwares that my, my take would be to put it into some of our learning docs to make sure that when we present to students, you know, it's something that we say, hey, this is not secure. Let's make sure to customize it. So I was wondering if we have anything like that in the security? I don't hear anybody else jumping in. I'll say I'm not aware of it, but I think we should have it. And I think this is a great, this would be a great thing to create an issue about and to start a discussion on. I think this is an excellent observation. There was some conversation at one of the conferences I was at recently about working with open-source projects that in their docs, that they are to provide a secure configuration point or point out areas in their default configuration that are not necessarily known to be insecure, but if there was a more secure option and why somebody would want to do it. So I don't know if that effort went anywhere, but that was one of the points of topic that we had. Yeah. Is this like Emily Moxie-Foxie, whatever your username is? Yes, that's me. All right. Sorry, just trying to put a, just trying to put a name to the voice. Sorry, go ahead. Oh, yeah. Actually, one of the points in that webinar too was that some of a lot of projects do, one of the things that they identified were like AWS and Google, they had recommendations, but the tendency was that users would tend to just blow through those and unfortunately go in with insecure configurations. It's pretty interesting, not a lot of content, but pretty interesting. Great. Yeah. I think that would be a good thing to discuss on an issue. Mark. Hey guys, nothing new on this side? For those of you that are interested in the privacy side, I thought I would just mention there's a public comment period that just started for the NIST privacy document, if that's of interest. So pop in and offer your opinions. Is it from me? Great. Great. Thanks. Carlos. Sure. Well, pretty much we continue working on this Docker technology and we need some help with Docker content trust and Docker notary. I don't know if the guys from Docker are on the forum, if you can just send me a couple of names. Yes. That's me, Justin Komak. Okay. I can talk to you in a couple of minutes or send you via email my questions and we can talk. Thank you, Justin. Awesome. Okay. Brandon. Hey, so mostly been working on continuing encryption stuff. We've been working Red Hat to integrate it with the stack too and we've started trying to see whether all the registries are kind of up to date if the OSI images and stuff like that. So that's going well. Actually, so Radu, don't mind if I send you a message after that. I'm kind of interested in the CNEP stuff and this is kind of semi-related to Justin, the discussions that I wanted to have on Monday as well. So yeah. That's it from me. Okay. Great. Emily. So some great news regarding Security Day. We have 66 registrations as of yesterday. 22 submitted CFPs and another 18 that are in progress. We also now have a total of three diamond sponsors and one gold sponsor. Sponsorship sales are going to close on September 20th. So let Kathy or Amy know if anybody else is interested in sponsoring and you can drop that into the SIG Security Events channel. That's about it for updates. Wow. And that was fantastic news. Terrific. Okay. Christian Kemper. Hi there. I'm Christian and I work for Google Cloud Security. Nothing new to report for this group for this week. Okay. Thank you. Avinav. Hey guys. I'm from Frame.io. Nothing new to report on security side rather than working on cell call on Kubernetes. Okay. Thanks, John. Nothing to note at this time. All right. JJ. Hey, I think I think the security, SIG Security Event, Emily gave an update. We do have regular sync with Joe and Liz where we get the directions from for some of the prioritization and work. I'll keep you posted on that. We have one that's coming up. So for the next meeting, I think I'll basically be able to bring some information back. But it's also going to be good to get what the group wants as clarity from TOC as well. That's about what I have. I do have an agenda item to discuss at the end. Hope we can get to it. But I added it in the agenda. Okay. Sounds good. Yeah. We'll get to those later. Okay. Erica. Hey there. Ben. In the updates from the Kubernetes Policy Working Group, we are a couple items. We have progress we've made on some formal verification for the policy configurations starting with the RBAC access controls. Kind of have a plan and we're starting with some of the modeling for that. The proposal you can see was merged into this SIG Security repo under policy. So check it out if you're interested in that. Some other related work with we're kind of just keeping tabs on OPA and its gatekeeper project, which is moving, I think they're making plans to kind of get it towards a GA stance. It's investigating its possible use as a recommended replacement for pod security policies. And also, I guess, KubeCon North America in San Diego in November, the schedule was announced. We will have, I think, in the contributor summit. We're looking to do a workshop with some of the verification work. Great. That's me. Awesome. Okay. TK, I think you're the last one who's put their name down. The last one, but I don't have anything new to put. So, three of my ancient items. Thanks. Well, thank you. That explains why no one was answering. I said, okay, thanks. And has anybody been missed? Anybody whose name is not here that I accidentally skipped? Let's give an update. Okay. So now that we've completed the initial check-ins, now we are supposed to have check-ins from partner SIGs and working groups. So does anyone from Kubernetes SIG auth want to say anything? Okay. I can only report on some of the discussion we were talking about with the pod security policies. Okay. Can you post a link to that in the meeting note? Because I can't actually, I couldn't actually find it. I tried to find it in three and two minutes, but I couldn't immediately. I can also add links to the meeting notes and related issues. I'll go find them. Thanks. Okay. Okay. Right. The policy working group. So, I guess, Erica, would you like to talk about that? Or would someone else? Yeah, I think it's basically the same as what my personal update was. That was kind of it. Okay. How about the Kubernetes security audit working group? I'm not personally familiar with that myself. I don't believe. Okay. We had one of the people in here a few weeks ago, but I think I don't know. Okay. How about this big data working group? Yeah. So, we are working on the overview document for that. We have a tech writer who got assigned for that. Probably not be too much interest to this group at this point, but you'll just make it easier to read the eight volumes of that when it finally gets out of NIST review later this year. Okay. That'll be good bedtime reading. I'm sure. Awesome. Okay. How about the now it's time for the PSA for meeting facilitator. JJ, I think you're going to leave this off. Yeah. So, I mean, first of all, thank you for the few of the people that raised their hand to be the meeting facilitator. So, it's tremendously useful both for the person facilitating and for the team to get a broader understanding. So, main idea is to create become a full-on distributed system. So, anybody should have the context around the meeting at any time eventually, but I think we do need some form of guidance in that aspect. So, there'll be a few people running this. The other agenda item that I had, should I go over that as well? Justin? Yeah, yeah, sure. Do you want to, so the three, there's three facilitators who Brandon, May, and Jerry have volunteered so far. If anyone else? Yes, and I'm somehow the first one doing it. I don't mind. You should add Jeff's in the stairs. Yeah, I should probably be added there. I think you should open up a full request. Justin? We'll do it. Yes. So, there's a list of, if anyone wants to become one, there's a list of criteria to check off. And I think it's rather straightforward set of things that you've participated in, in the processes of the group, so you know what's going on. Yeah. But yeah, JJ, do you want to go through your agenda item? Sure. So, one of the things that I, this relates to the initial comment that Kappos is making as well in terms of scrapping the early intro. So, one of the things that I noticed in our group is there are people with varying expertise in different areas of security. So, I was thinking if, as a team, if we had a page where we could basically list our name, the subject matter expertise that each one of us have and our willingness to be approached for that area of expertise, whether it's questions, comments, or injecting them into like a review process during that area. If that can be specified, then it helps all of us tremendously in terms of just being efficient at getting stuff done. So, that was a thought. I just wanted to bounce that idea off. What this allows us to do is also skip intros because at any given time people will know who people are and then we don't have to keep doing the intro every single time we meet. So, that was an idea that I just wanted to bring it up to this team to see if, what we think, A, what we think about it, B, if there is someone who's passionate, it's not going to happen, but if there is someone who's passionate in driving that effort to completion. I definitely think knowing what people have expertise in is really useful if you want to find someone to help you with something or for people to ask if people need to understand an issue or something like that. I think it is definitely helpful to have a go-to kind of list of what they're doing because often it's difficult and especially now there's quite a few people and people have difficulties. If people are not around constantly, they won't necessarily remember who it was at the meeting who was interested in X that they were also interested in. So, I'm just wondering because I was thinking that if someone would be interested or wants expertise in something, should we say that they should create an issue and then we can have a discussion on that so you know multiple people can chime in. Also, because it seems like the SIG Security Slack channel might be... Sure, yeah. I think it's good to have the list that you're suggesting, JJ, that's useful. But I think the stand-up is not just the introduction, it's more about what people are doing and I think that's great as well. So, having both could be useful but replacing the stand-up for the list that would not need to be helpful, that's what I think. I mean maybe we just need to streamline the stand-up so that people put their names down on the list if they've got something to say before the start of the meeting rather so it's just quicker and more efficient. Yeah, okay. So, yeah, I mean I think both would be, I mean I obviously think both would be useful but any volunteers for getting the initial list on our site which basically means work involved in sometimes pinging people, getting a page in place where people can come and add stuff. So, I have kind of a question about this. I'm imagining stepping in so what sort of email look like? Like how do people talk about what it is they've done without just, I mean like linking to their LinkedIn or their Wikipedia page or whatever it is? Good question. So, that's another thing that when we were discussing that came up also is there a should we be prescriptive about a category of things that we would want people to say like this, I'm expert at this or should we want to let it like free flowing in terms of like describe what it is in which case you can put your Wikipedia page, LinkedIn page, LinkedIn post but the more specific it is, the easier it is for us to tap into somebody for help. The more generative it is, the more descriptive it is, it's just not going to be effective to say, say for example security audit and I want to get guidelines for audit then CAPOS, I can ping you versus like going and looking at the Wikipedia and then to figure out CAPOS may be able to help me with the security audit question. So, good question. I mean like I don't know, I just want to hear people start out. Yes, so you triggered something that I've been thinking about which is we have this landscape and we have these notions of projects and since you know maybe one way to do this would be to have people signal that they're interested in things related to either projects or gaps in the landscape where we hope to one day have a project because then it pretty naturally falls along the guidelines of the group here which is all at least allegedly you know cloud native interested. Yeah, yeah. Now I'd like to, yeah, I'll shut my mouth now and wait for others to listen to others in terms of what they feel. I agree with, I mean I agree with that suggestion, I think that makes more sense, that's a bit more prescriptive and more meaningful and very contextual. Yeah, maybe it needs to be in the sort of size of sub-projects, I mean say the example of that that Brandon's working on encrypted container images is useful in the short term while he's working over the year or so while he's working on that whatever and other people might be interested. That's not a project per se but it's an area of focus within a project or a couple or more than one project and things like audits is a kind of cross cutting thing or supply chain security is a cross cutting thing that you might want to say you're interested in separately from projects. Yeah, so what if like like JJ you may already have this you define like these 10 things that you need expertise in and you can subscribe to those categories that'll be much that you can just say I care about audits or I don't know security something whatever 10 categories and people can then say okay my expertise is audits BCD whatever it is that could be helpful too if you define like the high level categories for the expertise that you're interested in. Yeah, I mean I'd be happy to since you're right since you sort of raised your hand I can sort of ping you to create that category with you and go back with the Kappos. Sure yeah okay yep I think I can follow I mean Kappos if you want if you're taking the lead I'll be able I'll definitely be available to help but if you want me to just let me know. Sure yeah go ahead it's your idea I'd rather see your vision and help to make it a reality than pose mine. All right so so we can follow through on this offline and slack and issues then I'll spin off an issue. Awesome okay so do we have any other items here on the agenda doesn't I don't spot anything is anything that we missed or anything someone wants to discuss? I have a quick question related to how SIG security works with other CNCF-SIGs so there's a newly formed CNCF-SIG app delivery and we're very early in the process of defining everything that the SIG is working on but essentially it's working on the lifecycle of a cloud native application everything from definition to deployment and rollout automation platform and I'm wondering what's the relationship of SIG security with other CNCF-SIGs with respect to how they either recommend security measures or anything related to how they operate together how they work? I think we don't really know yes it's the kind of straightforward answer because we were the first SIG and we haven't interacted with SIG storage so I think we need to work this out still. Specifically I'm asking because there are a bunch of various that are interconnected there's the security story for the artifact project there's the security story for CNAP and most of them are in the same space and I'm really looking forward not to duplicate efforts in all of these projects. We can definitely do reviews of those projects because that's something that we are doing so if you want if we want to prioritize having a security review of those things but if they I don't know if they for the bits where they're being designed I don't know if we want to have it I mean obviously I'm interested and other people are interested in the work that's going on but I don't know if it makes sense for SIG security to have an official role working on that or whether just the people some of the people involved want to work on that. That also makes sense I just wanted to I don't know JJ what do you think? Sorry can you repeat that? I was just saying that we haven't officially had any working relationships with other CNCF SIGs because they're all quite new compared to us so we could obviously do audits of projects that SIG apps are interested in having audited because that's something that we definitely do but I'm not sure if we have any way of kind of way of having any other kind of working relationship other than people in this group who are interested to work with them I don't know if there's any official way we should work together or could work together. So when we started this group one of the ideas that we had floating around was like people from our group representing in their meetings and then trying to approach somebody like there was an active portion happening from their meeting to take scope on ours it only it's not scalable model by any means right and I think it's just gonna involve a lot more on people than on process. So short answer is it's a good idea I don't have a good way to make that happen. In the TOC meeting we could try and bring that up in terms of like if they have any suggestions to allow collaboration between between different SIGs but it's yeah it is it's good if that doesn't happen I see your point if that doesn't happen I get more and more divisive and more and more isolated within the CNCF. I would encourage you to raise this as an issue on the email thread to CNCF because it's pretty valid and I think Liz at least might have some inputs and suggestions on this. I'll chime in I definitely chime in based off of our understanding on that but it'll be good for you to bring this up to the broader CNCF. Speaking of this different categories and such I brought up an issue a while back never heard much of the comments on that that was that has to do with the edge security whether we should be concerned from the CNCF perspective whether the edge security should be part of our scope and if so how do we deal with it I think I referred a Linux foundation that addresses the the edge security at that time and I was wondering whether we have collectively we feel like we should be aliasing with those folks my understanding on the last time that I met with them in a conference that they haven't done very much but they are concerned about their edge security they would be very receptive I suppose in that perspective. Anyone has any comments? They just released a white paper which was posted in our Slack about 10 minutes before this meeting so I had a quick chance to look at it. I mean I'm interested in edge security because we're working on various issues of it but it's a kind of niche interest I guess a lot of people are not interested in that. Yeah unfortunately I'm not here joining this Slack group probably I missed out on that comments or anything but I personally feel that they're more and more interest on the edge processing and many different from many different technology perspectives so that's kind of coming to the ecosystem regardless of where we decide it it will exist the question is whether we are we do have the capability as well as the interest to you know include that as part of our at least concern or something that we should be looking for because it's very difficult I think getting very difficult to put a demarcation line as prominent to to make it you know completely segregated from each other from cloud versus the edge especially from a security perspective. Well maybe what we can do is it feels like this is an issue that should be this Boston subgroup that's that's interested and focused on edge. You know I am a person who is interested in this but I can imagine that others on the call may or may not be. So maybe what we can do is is move that to a side discussion and arrange other meetings for it and have have more follow-up there. Is there any other there are also potentially some edge projects that we might be interested in and see and see if I guess I'm certainly aware of some down the road potentially. Yeah that would be great. We definitely moving further into that purview I think would make sense. I don't know that you know maybe maybe I'm being premature with it but it feels like right now we shouldn't probably dive too far into that into that rabbit hole on the call. Is there are there other agenda items that people want to discuss in this meeting. This one that I wrote down it's kind of I think it's more clarification for myself. I wasn't sure I may have missed a meeting on what was happening with the current security assessment with key club and Velco without we kind of just pushing key club back and then are we doing teleconnects. I think we're waiting for guidance from the TSE which JJ is hopefully going to give us next week. Okay. On how they want us to prioritize things. Okay all right this sounds good. Yeah I think I missed a discussion. All right anything else for this meeting. Don't forget to submit your talks before Friday first. Yes and promote that the more we get the better it is. Thank you so much. All right sounds good everybody. Enjoy your 20 minutes of time back and talk to everybody next week.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6plPYoOBPY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCb9okJF6NGPDUGgAQxu3TcA	Design of Combinational Logic Circuit	Vinay S. Dasmane Assistant Professor Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering Walchand Institute of Technology, Solapur	[ "Digital Techniques", "Digital Circuits", "Combinational Logic Circuit", "Half Subtractor" ]	2019-08-03T10:29:41	2024-02-08T20:37:25	617	v6_3h9ef8l8	Namaste welcome to the session design of combinational logic circuit. At the end of this session students will be able to design a combinational logic circuit. In this session we are going to see combinational logic circuit and we are going to design a substractor circuit. So before proceeding further take a pause here and recall what is combinational logic circuit which we have discussed in the last session. So I think you have recalled what is combinational logic circuit. So combinational logic circuit has n number of inputs let us consider A0 to An-1 and m number of outputs let us consider Y0 to Ym-1. So in case of combinational logic circuit outputs at any instant of time depends on the inputs present at that instant only. So it means that output of a combinational logic circuit does not depend upon previous or past values of input or output. So there is no need of memory so it has no memory element. In case of combinational logic circuit there will be no effect of sequence in which inputs are applied on the output. So these are properties of combinational logic circuit. So let us design a substractor circuit. So there are two types of substractor circuits half substractor and full substractor. In today's session we are going to discuss about half substractor. So what is a half substractor? So it is also a combinational logic circuit which substracts second single bit binary number from the first single bit binary number. So before designing substractor circuit one should know binary subtraction rules. So let us see. So 1-1 gives us difference 0 and no borrow. So in case of 1-0 difference is 1 and there will be no borrow 0-0 difference is 0 with no borrow. When it is 0-1 it is not possible to substract 1 from the 0. So here we have to take borrow and then difference will be 1. So based on these rules we can draw the block diagram. So here in this block diagram we have a and b as two single bit inputs and it will give output as difference as d and borrow out as b-0. In the next step we are going to write truth table for the half substractor. So in the truth table it will include all the possible combination of inputs and respective output. So as we have two single bit inputs a and b so there will be four combination such as 0-0, 0-1, 1-0 and 1-1. So for 0-0 there will be no difference and borrow out. When a is 0 and b is 1 we require here borrow. So borrow out is 1 and it will give us difference as 1. So when a is 1 and b is 0 we will get difference as 1 and borrow as 0. And when a and b both are 1-1 difference and borrow out will be 0-0. So after observing this truth table we can conclude that we are getting difference for two combinations. First combination is when a and b are 0-1 and second combination is when a and b are 1 and 0 respectively. And we are getting borrow out for the combination when a is 0 and b is 1. So from this truth table we can write logic equations for half substractor. So logic equations are written for all the outputs. So here we have two outputs first output is difference. So let us write equation for difference. So difference d is equal to a bar b plus a b bar. So it is written also as summation m in the bracket 1, 2. Now let us write equation for borrow out. So as we are getting borrow out for only one combination. So equation becomes borrow out b o is equal to a bar b also written as summation small m in the bracket 2. So based on logical equations we can draw logic circuit for half substractor. So again let us consider these two equations difference d which is obtained as a bar b plus a b bar. So this is nothing but XOR operation. So this equation can be written as a XOR b and borrow out b o is equal to a bar b. So from these two equations we require two gates one is XOR and other one is AND gate along with that we require one NOT gate. So let us draw logic circuit for the half substractor. So a and b input are given to the XOR gate which give us difference and when a is given to the NOT gate and applied to the AND gate along with b input as it is this will give us borrow out. So this is logic diagram for half substractor. So let us simulate the same circuit in a software called as PROTIS. So in PROTIS we can select here schematic capture where we can draw the half substractor by clicking on P where place component. So I am selecting here 7486 which is XOR gate. So after selecting that place it at a proper position. Let us give name to this component as XOR. Again let us place a component which is AND gate 7408. Select a 7408 from the list and place it at a proper position. So again let us change the name of this component as AND gate. Now one more component which is required is NOT gate 7404. Select a 7404 from the list. Place it at a proper position. Let us change the name as NOT gate. Now we require two inputs a and b. So here you have to put it as a logic state from which we can give input as a and b. So let us change the name here as a and b. So we have here two binary inputs a and b. Now after this we have to make connections. So select wire and make a proper connection to XOR gate we require a and b. The same input a is applied to NOT gate from NOT gate to make connection to the one of the input of AND gate. Then let us connect b to second input of AND gate. Then to observe the output we require oscilloscope here. So choose oscilloscope here. Now you can see here there are four channels a b c d. So I am connecting output of difference to channel a and output of bar out to the channel b. So just click on the run button. So you can see here output of oscilloscope yellow as a output b as blue output. So yellow output is giving us difference and blue output is giving us as bar out. So when both are 0 0 a and b so output is 0 0 when a is 1 b is 0 you can get 1 and 0 output. So you can see here when both are 1 1 we are getting 0 0. When a 0 b is 1 we are getting both difference and bar out 0 0 these are references thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6_3h9ef8l8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Six in one is seven. Seven again. Whatever team is on top after the first random we'll get the Johnny Wang and then between the T-Wolves and Sixers, whoever's on top we'll get that one. All right. Good luck. Everybody gonna do the Johnny Wang here first again. Seven times. Top team will take it home. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Sixers taking it home. Sixers and seven times on the dual bar card again. T-Wolves and Sixers. Good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Going to the T-Wolves with KG. T-Wolves getting that one. All right.

UCFhEM_Jl3uKV6b8Ex4wbiFQ	Givat HaTanakh (גבעת התנ"ך) - green space in Jerusalem	Givat HaTanakh (literally: the hill of the Bible) is one of the most interesting open spaces in otherwise crowded Jerusalem. The hill isn't actually named after the Tanakh but rather after a planned Biblical museum that ultimately was never opened on the site. At present, the hilltop is undeveloped and relatively sparsely frequented by walkers. By: Daniel Rosehill Contact / info: danielrosehill.co.il. Production notes: Camera: Canon HF Vixia R800 Mic: Internal Stabilization: No Lighting: Natural	null	2021-05-20T15:23:21	2024-04-24T00:17:18	148	v6AE7rAF47U	Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. Today's exploration in Jerusalem is Givatatanach, which is just this kind of interesting open space located above David Remes Street in Jerusalem, one of the few real open spaces in the city. And it'd be very easy to miss the entrance. It's just this little kind of scraggly looking path just located off David Remes Street. So I'm just going to show you guys to get your geographical bearings. That's the first station complex here. So you go to the first first station across the road and you have the path leading up the hill and a little bit tricky to get off, but nothing too, nothing too arduous. So let us check out Givatatanach. Today is a little bit cooler than yesterday, thankfully. And yeah, let us take a look. This is what's up here. It's just kind of open space. You can see exactly how big this is, just kind of this wilderness on top of David Remes Street. And from here you can see the hotel. You can see the orient hotel which I just showed in my last video. And up below us is David Remes Street. And there's a few paths here running through which you can just walk along and this comes down the other side by another hotel here. So there's some really nice views here of Jerusalem. You can see the Scottish guest house. And this, as I mentioned, when I was coming up the hill isn't actually named after anything to do with the Tanach. It's just called Givatatanach, which in Hebrew means the hill of the Bible. So you'd be forgiven for thinking that this is some kind of a biblical site given the fact that there actually is a biblical site like a hundred meters away. But this was named after a Tanach museum that never materialized. And it's quite interesting because a lot of people don't know this is up here, given that it's just kind of hidden off the road. But yeah, it's one of the few major open spaces of this kind of a nature in Jerusalem. So this is Givatatanach.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6AE7rAF47U", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I wonder if sometimes the places that just have this part of the verse don't mention This is because we first condemn you and then tell you to go and say no more But that is not how it works because somebody say amen. I'm gonna share with you two simple thoughts from this message one is Jesus gives a mirror to those without mercy Because we can't be merciful without a mirror I want you to see in this story two kinds of people one category is the accusers and the other category is the accused and Jesus ministers to both kinds of people But Jesus doesn't give mercy to the accusers. He only gives mercy to the accused To people who are the accusers who are doing the accusing. He gives them something else He gives them a mirror Why? Because only Jesus can be merciful without being reminded of his past all of us we can't be merciful That's why the Bible says forgive as you have been forgiven love as you have been loved Why because God makes himself a reference to our behavior to a humankind We cannot be kind toward people if we first have not learned of God's kindness toward us We don't have the capacity inside of us to be nice We don't have the capacity inside of us when somebody mistreats us not to punch them back It's not within us and therefore the only way we can be kind toward others is if Jesus gives us a mirror to remind us How merciful he has been how good he has been and how we have fallen before and he didn't throw a stone in our face And this is how Jesus healed the accusers See the goal of Jesus is to take the stone out of every accuser and give him a mirror Because every time see most of us know that the grace of God is not an excuse to sin But the righteousness of God is not an excuse to condemn Many people when they get better in life when they overcome certain addiction overcome certain sin achieve certain goal They feel like they have been promoted to this new job which Satan put on for hire called accusation accused accusers and the accused are part of the devil's plan and And when you lived your life being accused live your life being condemned lived your life being looked down Shamed and embarrassed by people for the things you've done What happens is there comes a moment you beat that thing that caused you to be so accused and you get Elevated to something higher in the kingdom of the devil called the accuser When you're no longer being accused you're now privileged to do the accusing yourself Becoming the devil's right hand But it feels good because you're now in control it feels good because you have stones and you have targets and Jesus helps the accusers First he doesn't help the woman first he helps the accusers first By taking away their stones and the way he takes them away is he offers them a mirror He says anybody without sin throw the first stone and What happened he put a mirror in front of them and when a person looked in the mirror they realized I'm not much better and the stone dropped and The stone dropped and the stone dropped now. We don't stone people today We don't have stones we have words and Most of you whoever had words thrown your way you know that it would have been better if you throw a stone in my face Because words hurt deeper than stones Words can kill a person words start wars Wars words they create conflict in families Words can make a small problem in marriage become an issue of divorce Words can belittle a person a shame a person make person feel below carpet words They're the stones What they did yes what they did in that generation when somebody committed sin is they through stones We do in our houses every day When somebody comes in and makes a sin and maybe not as bad sin as this woman where she committed adultery But we immediately find stones and because we've never done this We feel like it gives us the right not to be because we're not the accused But we become the accusers not knowing that is not the job of the Holy Spirit Holy Spirit doesn't do the accusing only devil does the accusing and that is the devil's plan He wants us to be in that position to accuse people with our words with our stones and You would think Jesus would pat people on the back say hey guys. Let me give you better stones Sometimes people feel like Jesus is in a stoning business When somebody makes a mistake and you tell him you share peace of your mind and you let him have it And you feel like and God is a God of justice and all the God is a vengeful God and God is a holy God He doesn't tolerate iniquity. He cannot be hold iniquity all these scriptures come up and you feel righteous in your stoning Not realizing Jesus doesn't do stoning Moses did Moses is not Jesus Moses is not God the view of God has to be defined by Jesus not by our tradition By Jesus not by our feelings for vengeance and justice The last thing we should be wanting is justice And we all want God to be holy only when somebody's sinned against us And when we do the sinning all we run for the scriptures for the mercy and the grace of God	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6IxIP5QoMA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCvymH6qvAgCpzuRkXIw1ywg	Cavalcade of America - CALV 400206 173 Jean Laffite	Cavalcade of America This episode provided by the Old Time Radio Researchers Group. www.otrr.org / Provided by the Old Time Radio Researchers Group. www.otrr.org	[ "Old Time Radio", "1940" ]	2018-03-24T11:44:32	2024-04-23T14:14:57	1,750	V6bNKdcl9Fo	The Cavalcade of America, presented by Dupont, the story of Jean Lafitte, adapted for radio from material suggested by the eminent American author, Marquis James, starring William John Stone in the role of Jean Lafitte. The Dupont Company, makers of better things for better living through chemistry, bring you another drama in the Cavalcade of America, the story of a picturesque, rebooting pirate, Captain Jean Lafitte. And here is the Cavalcade of America's historical advisor, Dr. Frank Monaghan of Yale University. This evening, Cavalcade presents a little-known, but highly important episode of the War of 1812. It is the mid-winter of 1814, during our Second War with Great Britain. To many persons, it is America's darkest hour since Valley Forge. Our military invasions of Canada have been miserable failures. The British have burned both the capital and the White House in Washington. They are in firm possession of whole regions along the Atlantic coast. Their fleets blockade our ports. Dark is America's prospect, but now it grows worse. For England has now defeated the Great Napoleon and sent him into exile. She is determined to end the lagging war in America with one staggering blow by the greatest single army and a European power ever dispatched to the New World. That blow is to be struck against New Orleans and the Mississippi Valley. With 10,000 seasoned veterans, Major General Sir Edward Pachanin maneuvers his fleet of 50 vessels of war into the Gulf of Mexico. In the dismal tangle of Palmetto and Cyprus is the camp of the hastily gathered frontier militia forces of a worn and weary fighter from Tennessee, Andrew Jackson. It is late at night. By that tarnal coffee. Look at this. This letter here now. Go on, smell it. You're all perfumed up like a creole's kerchief. Pantsy, too. Well, who's it from? Governor Claiborne. That prancing, squealing, fussed budget to come down here from Virginia. Now he's the governor getting all riled up about the British where they're going to attack. He says you've got to protect Louisiana from those red-backed skunks. He said maybe he's going to tell us how we ought to do it, huh? Maybe he doesn't think I wish I knew where they were going to crack us. Either New Orleans or Mobile, I figured. That doesn't help us any. Not enough men in our camp to be both places to once and tell you coffee. I wish I knew where. New Orleans or Mobile. And now Claiborne tells me he's wondering, too. Not only that, but he says we've got to watch out for a cussed pirate to boot. Who's that? Some French jackass named Lafitte, Jean Lafitte. You know him? Yes, I know him. I heard him. He's practically the idol of New Orleans. I don't care if he's their patron saint, idol of New Orleans. By that time I'd like to lay my hands on them. I'd throttle them so fast I'd have to duck out of the way with the t-fly out of his mouth. Over the hills from the camp of Andrew Jackson beyond the lakes and bayous lies the picturesque city of New Orleans. It's late the following afternoon and the sunlight glows golden on a colorful promenade in the square. Brilliant New Orleans with its frivolity, its commerce, and its romance. At the sidewalk cafe several men are seated about a table with Captain Jean Lafitte listening to a street singer. Who is he? Here you are, my man. Ah, merci, merci, Captain Lafitte. Use it to buy a bracelet for the lovely one in the store. Oui, merci, Captain Jean, merci. Ah, now then, monsieur, back to our business. The deal is made. I am satisfied, Captain Lafitte. And I have. When will I expect the merchandise? Tomorrow at the latest, monsieur. It is already at my headquarters at Grand Air. Good. The shelves of my shop are badly in need of replenishment. They have been wondering, Captain Lafitte, how long you and your brother Pierre will be able to escape the governor's customers, men. Yes, we have been told that Governor Claiborne frowns on your profession. Ah, good day, new Captain Lafitte. Good day, monsieur. Perhaps that's one reason I have no trouble with the authorities. My good Grand Monsieur, the district attorney. The gentle art of smuggling has been considered a legitimate business in these parts for many years. As for Monsieur le Governor Claiborne, the poor gentleman is so busy worrying about the English fleet that he has no time to bother about me. My island of Barataria is a stronghold. Oui, Capitaine Jean, it guns to match the best of his excellence. Monsieur, my faithful friend and associate, Gambio, speaks little. A very observant fellow, Gambio. I have to be observant. Otherwise, more Capitaine would give away all the money we make as pirates. Corsair, privateer, Gambio. I like not a word pirate. Such a sour face, mon enfant. You would think I never expected to take to sea again. Sometimes I wonder about that too. These Americans who have come into power here are very sure of themselves. They might even attack Barataria. Careful how you speak of Americans, Gambio. Remember, we are all Americans now. Is that not so, Monsieur? Very well. Oh, your pardon, Monsieur. There is another friend of mine I would speak to, the good father. Father. Good evening, my son. Good evening, father. I was hoping to see you. You are going to the catheter? Not this evening. I regret, father. I am very busy. Too busy to confess, perhaps. If I should start confessing, father, I fear that you would become exhausted before you could give me absolution. The first, Gambio. This for some of your needy ones, father, and this for a mass for my beloved mother. Good night. If only your soul were as good as your heart, Jean Lafitte. Good night. Good night, father. I never hear the voice of the church. I'm afraid I will wake far. No fear of that, Gambio. And now I must leave you, mes amis. I must see my brother Pierre and make arrangements for your shipment. Before I go, let us see what the news is, eh? Oh, boy, bring me the gazette. Here it is, Captain Jean. Thank you, my son. Thank you. Now tell me, have you had any sweets today? No, Captain Jean. Give him some of our profits, Gambio. Here, I sue. No, when you give, give generously. Here, catch. Oh, merci, monsieur. Merci, Captain Jean. Gambio is right, Captain Lafitte. He will die in poverty. Perhaps, perhaps. But I shall have lived. No, Captain. See there on the front page. What? A proclamation. Yes. A proclamation signed by Governor Cleveland. No all men. It is hereby decreed that the sum of $500 will be paid to the person of persons whose love of justice and desire for order direct their most conscientious energies in such a manner to effect the capture of the notorious Brigham, Freedbuter, and Pivot. Jean Lafitte. The man insults me. $500. Captain Lafitte, you should be amused by this. Yes, Captain. You must take it as a joke. No, monsieur, not quite a joke. Monsieur Claiborne cannot have the last word. I will publish a reward for the governor. What? Yes. I will offer five times the amount he offers for me, perhaps ten times more. And not as a measure of Monsieur Claiborne's worth, but as evidence of my own generosity. Come, Gambio, let us find my brother Pierre. It is long since we have visited here, Gambio. You will surprise my brother and his marry Louise. Strange that a man of action like Pierre should choose a wife in a place like this. Well, that does not go by rules, Mon Capitaine. Oh, Monsieur Jean, it is you. I am so glad you are here. My sister was sending me to look for you. Indeed, my petit. Oh, Gambio, this is Marie-Louise Little Sister Catherine. Mme Z. Oh, come in quickly, please, Monsieur Jean. Marie-Louise is in great distress. Come in, Gambio. She is ill. Oh, no, Monsieur. Your brother, Pierre. What of Pierre? He has been arrested. What's that you say? Marie, Marie-Louise. Jean, you are here at last. What will we do? Is this true? This story Catherine tells me. It is true, Jean. The government sent to Pierre not half an hour ago. They arrested my brother? And this governor overreaches himself. Oh, my poor Pierre. In prison. I've been trying to tell her, but all would be well when you are at, Monsieur Jean. Oh, what can you do? Perhaps you will soon appear in your arms again, Marie. The district attorney, Mr. Grimes, is my friend. Always the prison door swing open for my men. Have no fear, Marie. Pierre will soon be free. Monsieur Livingstone, my friend district attorney, Grimes, says you are the best lawyer in all Louisiana. I will pay $10,000, $50,000 for Pierre's release. It is not a question of money, Captain Lafitte. Governor Claiborne can't be bought. Surely the guards at the jail can be reached? Your brother is imprisoned at the Cabildo itself. Under the eyes of the governor's own guard. For years I have always bought my way out of all difficulties. Not with the men who are now in power, Captain Lafitte. I don't think you realize that Governor Claiborne was very much annoyed by your impudent proclamation. Well, I was annoyed by his proclamation. What does the governor demand? As my lawyer it is for you to find out. If I am to be your lawyer, my advice is that you return to baritariate once. Here even you are in danger of arrest. Arrest? General Lafitte? That's my advice, Captain. Return to baritariate, and I'll see what I can do for your brother. Southward from New Orleans across the bayous and lakes lies the Bay of Barataria. It's sapphire waters glittering to the faraway horizon. In this isolated setting there are islands of swaying palm trees, tropical and fragrant. Among them is the island of Grand Terre, a stronghold of the Baratarian pirates, and pacing restlessly on a wide terrace of his fortress overlooking the bay, is General Lafitte. How many weeks must I be cooked up in this island before I hear from that infernal lawyer? How long must my poor brother languish in that stuffy cabildo? I will go to New Orleans tomorrow. Ship, Mon Capitaine. There, to the east. Perhaps this is Monsieur Claiborne seeking me. Call him into quarters. Already, the ace into that post. Hand me my spy glasses, we, Mon Capitaine. The Governor Claiborne will find us prepared for... Mais non. It is not the American Governor. Take the spyglass and be a looper yourself. She flies the English collars. An English ship? Perhaps it is a trick. Let them land if they will. Perhaps they fates are playing an interesting game with Jean Lafitte. English officers, Mon Capitaine. Captain Lafitte, permit us to introduce ourselves. I am Captain Locker, of his majesty's ship Sophie, the brig that is anchored in your bay. This is Captain McWilliams, Royal Marines. Your cannon introduced you, Monsieur. The blank shot to attract your attention, Captain. We come under a flag of truce, Lafitte, with formal proposals. Will you not be seated, Monsieur? Let us enjoy this truce. We come from Captain Sir William Percy and General Sir Edward Packamon, commanding his majesty's sea and land forces. We have the honor, Captain Lafitte, to present official communications. Formal proposals, official communications? You frighten me, Monsieur. We'll come to the point at once. Captain Lafitte, you are, of course, familiar with the Louisiana Seaco. Do you hear from a balcony? You must guess that we are not interested. You water route to New Orleans by way of the lakes. Tell me, would such a route be feasible for ships of our size, Captain? Captain McWilliams, you flatter me. How should I know that? Just a moment, McWilliams. Captain Lafitte, here is a paper that should interest you if our talk does not. Paper? Louisianans, I knew the first call is made to assist in liberating your paternal soil from American use of patience. This is addressed to me as a Louisianan. It is, Captain Lafitte. But you forget that I am also American. We understand that you're, that you have been... That I am an outlaw? Is that what you mean to say? Well, at least that you are at the moment experiencing certain difficulties with the American authorities. You seem well informed as to my affairs, Monsieur. Here is a second paper, Captain. It is an invitation. An invitation? I call upon you and your brave followers to enter the service of Great Britain, in which you will have the rank of captain. Hmm, complete amnesty for all my followers? Post in the British Navy commensurate with ability? Our property and persons are expected? So I must be England's ally or her enemy? In terms of liberal, Captain Lafitte, we are authorized to say that besides the rank of captain, England will pay you a bounty of $30,000. And your brother Pierre will be free. That last is the greatest inducement you offer, Monsieur. In return for all this? Lead us by the simplest and most direct route to New Orleans. Perhaps. Perhaps. I am sometimes slow in thought, Monsieur, especially when I am hungry. Will you be my guest? I should like to discuss this further. And what better way than over my wine? Come, Monsieur, if you please, to my dining gallery. Very well, Captain Lafitte, as you wish. Thank you, Captain Lafitte. A delightful dinner. Your pardon, Monsieur? I said it was a very good dinner. Thank you, Monsieur. And now may we expect your decision, Captain Lafitte? I am sorry, Monsieur. It will take me two weeks to make my decision. Two weeks? Why so long, Captain? You see, Monsieur, my men, unfortunately, do not care for the English. Perhaps you have noticed the way they have of looking at your uniform. No, Monsieur, it will take time to prepare them to like you a little. Shall we say two weeks? Well, there's no other way out of it. I shall study the letters well. Very well, Captain. We'll expect your answer in two weeks. Come, Lafitte. Au revoir, Monsieur. Au revoir, Captain. Au revoir. Mon Capitaine, if you're going to wait two weeks before you give these English their answer. Yes, Gambior. But it is a good offer, Mon Capitaine. Fear will be free, and we shall have all the gold we need. Perhaps. But, Gambior, don't you see? I hold the one piece of information that Governor Clemon desires. We know where the English will attack. What will the governor give for this news? May we? If Monsieur Le Governor refuses to trade with us, we join the English. It is a good plan. Perhaps. Perhaps you are right. I can now demand what I will of Governor Clemon. Power, my friend, is a great thing. Gambior, bring me paper and quill. I'm going to write a letter. Perhaps this game is for higher stakes than I thought. But, Mr. Livingston, I can't understand this. Are you sure this letter is genuine? Yes, Governor Clemon. I'm sure. I know Jean-Lafitte's signature. It was brought to me by his most trusted lieutenant. Are you sure this isn't some trick to affect Pierre Lafitte's release? It says, I offer to give back to the state many citizens who perhaps in your eyes have lost that sacred title. I offer their efforts for the defense of the country. I don't know, Mr. Livingston. I don't know. Take my word for it, Your Excellency. That letter is sincere. Huh? Even in making such an offer to the man's arrogant, I shall be the lost sheep who desires to return to the flock. And this. In case, Monsieur Le Governor, that your reply should not be favorable, I declare to you that I shall leave immediately so as not to be hailed to have cooperated with the invasion. Who do you do this? I believe he would. Who can trust a pirate? He has sent you the English correspondent. You have learned that the English will attack at New Orleans instead of Mobile. Now you can get General Jackson to come down here. You are already in great debt to Jean-Lafitte. That's what I don't like. I promise the people of Louisiana to hang their feet and stamp out all they stand for. How can I go back in my word? This means I'd have to release Pierre-Lafitte. Prisoners have been known to escape. It's impossible to escape from the cabildo. Doors have been left open. Guards have been known to look the other way. The city is in danger. How did you get out of the cabildo? Last night the cell door was ajar and the guards know where to be since I walked out. All these weeks I have tried to get you off. Jean, here is a letter. After I left the cabildo, the lawyer, Monsieur Livingstone, gave it to me. Let us see what he has to say. Pierre, listen. He suggests that we join the standard of the United States to march against the enemy. He says that there may be a proclamation offering pardon to all who join General Jackson. But you cannot trust that, Governor Claiborne. Yeah. It is time for Jean-Lafitte to act. On the one hand, I have the English terms. And the other, the suggestion of Monsieur Livingstone. Perhaps, perhaps, Pierre, the time has come for me to take a little trip to New Orleans. General Jackson, now that we know where the English plan to attack... Why the tunnelcourt, they can't, I get it into your head that we can't fight them without weapons. Well, you've always boasted that Back Woodsman was a match for a dozen Redcoats. Men, yes, but they've got artillery. I had just half as many guns. Well, what do you want? Captain will affee to see General Jackson. Captain. I said I'd get my hands on his throat someday. Send them in. Yes, sir. General, say Captain Lafitte. Captain Lafitte reporting to General Jackson. Captain Lafitte, eh? All right, coffee, you can go. I want to talk to this bandit. The general. You need have no fear for the general's safety, Monsieur. My safety? You think I'm afraid of a blasted pirate? Get out, coffee, get out. Yes, General. So you're the cussed freebooter I've heard of, eh? Well, come to the point for a springy up. I am here, General Jackson, in reply to the proclamation. The governor said you needed men. Well, suppose I do. What proof, why, that you and your cutthroat will play fair? I am trusting myself to you, General. You will have to trust me. Well, what's your proposition? What you need most. Men, ammunition. You're not at all what I expected. You look like a soldier. You stand like a soldier. I hope to prove to you that I am a soldier, General. I have many men under my command to keep discipline, and men must know discipline. I never thought I'd be thanking a pirate for information that may save Louisiana and the Mississippi Valley. I say may save the men I got can lick their wheat and wildcats and they can hit a squirrel's eye as far as they can sight a gun. But, General, they cannot shoot the gun without flints. Is it not so? I told you I needed flints. I have my sources of information. I suppose you know I haven't got much artillery. Yes, Monsieur. That is why I have come to tell you that I have a cache of over 7,500 flints. And if you will accept them, General, all my men are anxious to volunteer under you. I promise you they will not often miss the squirrel's eye. And then the artillery stowed away, have you? Oui, Monsieur. Several cannon in good condition. You smile at last, Mons General. I have always spoken, I was a good judge, you men. Refete, I can use your flints and your men. And the cannon? Yes, by the tunnel and the cannon, too. I suppose you know your way around this country. I flutter myself, I do, General. Come here, coffee. Yes, General. Captain Refete's having some vittles with us. We're making plans to hunt some squirrels in red coats. Thank you, General. And now, may I be permitted to send for my men? The sooner the better. My brother is waiting. Fast Captain Refete's brother. Where's Captain Refete's brother? Come in, Pierre. Yes, John. Round up them in. Tell them to get their flints and cannon and come here and join up with General Jackson's horse. Now I will give those English their answer. Yes, it won't, John. Make his, Pierre. Wait a minute. You might tell my boys that, too. They'll cheer them up. Tell them we all get ready now to boot those English mules clear back across the Atlantic where they come from. Yes, General Jackson. Tell me something to feed. The English offer was a good one, wasn't it? Very generous. And why'd you refuse it? Why do you throw in your lot with my rag tag and bob tail? Especially when the governor had a price on your head. Perhaps. Perhaps I hate the English. Perhaps it is my sympathy for what I consider the underdog. And perhaps. Perhaps sometime someone may even say, Jean Lafitte did what he did because he was an American. And the Americans at New Orleans scored one of the most decisive military victories in history against a vastly superior British army. But without the cannon, the flintlocks, and the heroism of French-born Jean Lafitte and his men, there might have been another story. In granting Jean Lafitte and his men a free and full pardon, President Madison in February 1815 declared that it was because they have abandoned the prosecution of the worst cause in order to adopt the best. And particularly, because they have exhibited in the defense of New Orleans, unimpleachable traits of courage and fidelity. And with the words of President Madison, we may well accord that Jean Lafitte is rightful place in the cavalcade of America. Thank you, Dr. Monahan. From the days of Jean Lafitte up to the present time, New Orleans has been a great center for King Cotton. The New Orleans citizens of 1814 would have been amazed to see the things into which Cotton goes today as a chemical raw material. Take one example, plastics. Those modern man-made materials used to make everything from the comb you used on your hair this morning to automobile steering wheels and fountain pens. Isn't it hard to believe that they are born in the Cotton field? DuPont makes several types of plastics. And the story of their development is another chronicle of American ingenuity. Before the turn of the century, the comb industry depended chiefly on horn from the long horned cattle that roamed the Western Plains. Then horn began to grow scarce after the introduction of the chunky, hornless cattle that were found to be more profitable for beef. For people still needed combs and buttons and other products made from horn. So chemists developed a method of making combs and other articles from plastics derived from Cotton cellulose. From 1900 on, there appeared thousands of plastic articles from optical frames to furniture. DuPont chemists were able to make important contributions in cellulose plastics because of their long experience in using cellulose as a raw material for other products. In the early days, plastics were made to resemble ivory, amber, tortoise shell, ebony, and the entire range of semi-precious stones. Nowadays, plastics do not try to imitate anything. They are beautiful and useful in their own right. In 1907, there were only three kinds of plastics, each having unique qualities. But the curious thing is, for another 22 years, until 1929, that picture of the plastics industry remained practically unchanged. Most of the spectacular development in plastics has taken place within the past 10 years. Today, there are at least 13 types of plastics, each with distinctive properties. This new industry born in the chemist test tube has meant the employment of thousands of workers, not only in plants like DuPonts that make the basic materials, but also in factories throughout the land that turn plastics into countless articles of better living for your daily use. Plastics are an admirable example of the DuPont pledge, better things for better living through chemistry. And now, Dr. Monaghan. Now we present the question which will be answered on the Cavalcade program at this same time next week. What member of Abraham Lincoln's immediate household was under suspicion and actually investigated as a Confederate spy during a most critical period of the Civil War? Thank you. DuPont is pleased to announce that next week the Cavalcade of America will present one of the great actors of our times, Mr. Raymond Massie. Mr. Massie will be starred as Abraham Lincoln in an original radio play written especially for the Cavalcade of America by the distinguished dramatist Mr. Robert E. Sherwood. The play is based on material drawn from Carl Sandburg's monumental new biography, Abraham Lincoln, The War Years. The broadcast will originate on the stage of the Civic Opera House in Chicago where Mr. Massie is currently appearing in Mr. Sherwood's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Abe Lincoln in Illinois. This is Thomas Chalmers saying good night and best wishes for the DuPont Company. This is the National Broadcasting Company.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6bNKdcl9Fo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

But Mary, I don't think we should interfere with other people's marriages. If the Adamses can't make it, that's their hard luck. But she's so darling, Oliver. Surely, there must be something we could do for them. Yeah, and end up in a lot of trouble. No, Mary. Not this boy. But it wouldn't put us out one bit, darling. No. I know what interference does to people, so forget it. Well, here they go again, folks. Now, let's visit the Anderson family. Well, this whole thing started when Mary heard that Mrs. Adams was having trouble with her husband. And since Mrs. Adams is a lovely president of the lady's auxiliary, Mary felt that she would be killing two birds with one stone by helping them patch up their differences. But Oliver has different ideas. Look, Mary, Joe Adams took her for better or for worse. And I don't know how she could be worse off. But they've been so happy, Oliver. We can't just sit around and see those two lovely people break up that way. Maybe he wants it that way. You know, Mary, it may look like they're very happy to the onlooker, but maybe she's tough to get along with. Nevertheless, you have a talk with Joe and I'll talk to June. No, I'll talk to June. You kid around with Joe. Well, now, just a minute, Mr. Anderson. Let's have no more of your frivolity. Oh, just clowning, honey. Yes, I know you were. June wouldn't see the humor in it. Oh, well, if I happen to jump into Joe, I'll... I'll happen together in no time. That's what I like to hear, dear. I'll try to see June. She's such a lovely person. Oliver, look at the time. You'd better get going. Yeah, gee, I almost forgot. I'm so absorbed in our little dirt-dishing. You know, I really believe you were. Oh, Anderson, I believe I can trust you to do a little special work for me without it running into time and a half. Special work? Yes. Joe Adams was just in here. Oh, yeah, Joe. He's eating alone now, isn't he? Let's not be so uncouth. Oh, well, I... He's staying at the hotel during a little misunderstanding with Mrs. Adams. I see. We were just discussing the same thing this morning. Hmm. I didn't know this affair. Had reached the discussion stage. Oh, I... You probably don't know this, but June, Mrs. Adams, is the favorite niece of Mrs. Thompson, my wife. Oh, no, no, I didn't know that. And June always seems nice, too. Yes. How do you mean that? Why, I didn't mean anything. Well, what did you want me to do? Do? Oh, oh, yes. Joe Adams just purchased a hairdryer from us to send to his wife a sort of a peace offering. Gee, with a washing machine, you'd have been in the bag. Let's not be so crude with such a wonderful thing as marriage. Well, I... At least where anyone can hear us. But now, I want you to deliver this to June and don't say a word about who sent it until Joe calls and see if she's happy with it. I'll just leave it and go on. That's right. This must be handled very delicately. Oh, of course. You can depend on me. I'm rather subtle. Yeah, subtle is a blackjack, but don't trip up on this thing now, Anderson. Even my home life depends somewhat on this working out. Oh, gee, I didn't know what you were... You weren't supposed to know. Just deliver this dryer without involving us in three lawsuits and a divorce. Oh, oh, no, no, not yet. Have to stop in here a minute. Hey, now, wait just a minute. In the Adams house? Yeah. Marthe heard they were having trouble. Oh, well, if Marthe heard it, then they're in for more trouble. Oh, nope, nope, that ain't true. Marthe's a good woman. Yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I've been out of the house since you heard about it. Well, I'll see you later this evening, Homer. I have to go on in now. Hey, what you get under your arm there? Arm? Uh, something for Mary? No, something for... You won't say anything to anyone, will you? Oh, nearly a word to nobody. What is it, huh? Something for June Adams. Oliver, that ain't right. There's that little woman who's sitting home waiting for you. Ah, cut it out. How'd you meet her? Shh, forget you even saw me. Well, sir, that reminds me of a little waitress one time in Topeka. I was taking a present. Oh, nice little girl she was. And I was taking her a present up to the house. And it was a nice present. Just like you're doing. I'm taking no present up to anybody. Hey, don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you. Well, sir, I get up to the house and she told me her husband was in China. So I go up and I walk my knuckles on the door and what do you suppose happened? Well, what happened? He come to the door himself and there I was with my present. What happened then? Uh, what happened then? Yeah. Uh, that's the last thing I remember. But this ain't right, Oliver. I don't like it. Mary's a good woman. Junior's a good youngin' and by gum it ain't sportin'. Oh, well. You'd be surprised how happy this little present is gonna make somebody. Yes. Oh, oh, it's Mr. Anderson. Uh, yeah. Um, could I step in a moment? I guess so. Come in. Uh, that other gentleman out there with you. Oh, gentleman? Oh, that wasn't any gentleman. That was Homer Meister. Oh, uh, what did you want, Mr. Anderson? Uh, what? Oh, oh, oh, oh, yes, excuse me. I just wanted to drop this off on my way home, something from our store, a hair dryer. A hair dryer? Oh, how lovely for me. Yeah, just a little thing, but the thought is there. Oh, my goodness. I don't know if I should accept it. Oh, but let's see it. It's our small bottle, the 3-Z with the automatic cutout. Oh, oh, Mr. Anderson, I think it's wonderful. But I just couldn't think of accepting this, really. How does it work? Oh, you just plug it in the wall. Oh, there's the door buzzer. Excuse me a moment. Yes? Oh, you back. Uh, uh, hey, I just wanted to speak to Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson, it's Mr. Meister. Oh, what is it, Homer? You, uh, you left your motor car running. Thought maybe you didn't know it. Well, just shut it off. Just shut it off, huh? Yeah, yeah, I'll see you tonight. He just wanted to know what you were doing in here. Homer? Oh, no, you're wrong. Homer's my friend. Uh, you were going to show me how to start the dryer. Oh, yes, yes, of course. See, you just plug it here in the socket. Uh-huh. Turn on this little clicker here, see? Oh, wonderful. Oh, but I really couldn't accept it, Mr. Anderson. Oh, now go ahead. We have a lot of them in stock. This is our cheapest model, anyhow. Cheapest? Hmm, sounds like something my husband bought. Always buys the cheapest of everything. Oh, he's a good guy, though. Oh, he's all right in some ways, I guess. No, no, no, let's see. Now, these are the instructions here on this sheet here. But I just couldn't think of accepting it, Mr. Anderson. At least not before our divorce is final, anyhow. Oh, well, the divorce has nothing to do with it. Oh, now look, Mr. Anderson. I'm a lady. Oh, of course you are. And I don't feel that this is the thing for you to be doing. Well, it's part of my job. Part of your job? I don't understand. Uh, well, I don't dare say anymore, really. You know, Mr. Anderson, I've known your family for a long time, and I admire Mary very much. Yes, she likes you, too. But I could never face her after this. Oh, come now. She's not that bad. And I'd appreciate it very much if you'd just gather up that blowtorch or whatever it is and leave this house. I don't want to talk to you or Mary or anyone else. Yeah, but you don't understand, Mrs. Adams. I think I do. Please leave this minute. Now, you're all wrong, Mrs. Adams. There's something I should tell you, but I don't dare. You're right you don't dare. Now get out of here with that, that contraption. It's our Z-daster. And I mean now, Anderson. I see you've still got the package. How come you didn't leave it, Harper? Huh? Oh, oh, oh, it's over. What are you doing out here in my car? Oh, I just wanted to talk to you before you busted up your home. Ah, don't be ridiculous. How come you didn't leave the little present, huh? But you didn't want it. Would you be quiet or you'll walk home? Uh, I ain't saying another word because I know just how you'd come out in there. Oh, you knew how I'd come out. Yep, yep. You see, I just dropped in ahead of you to see if there wasn't something I could do to help the little woman. Oh, so that's it, huh? Yep, but I was kind of misunderstood, too. I wasn't misunderstood. Oh, gosh, I don't know what to think, Oliver. I've seen it with my own eyes. Well, now just stop worrying. I know what I'm doing. She, she, she'll be sure mad when she run you out. Look, hold on. I don't want to hear any more about it at all. Hey, remember that old saying, one bad peach will spoil the whole barrel. Well, she's not a spoiled peach. And anyhow, it isn't peach, it's apple. What's this thing in this package? Oh, uh, it's just one of the hairdryers from the store. Oh, for me? Uh, no, it's one I have to take back. Oh. Where's Junior? Oh, he's at a boys meeting at the Gargoyle Club. Oh. You act so strange, Oliver. Strange? Something wrong at the shop? No, nothing's wrong. Just had a bad day, is all. Oh, that's a shame. I'm sorry, dear. Mm-hmm. Oh, well, there's corned beef and cabbage for dinner. Sound good? Best thing I've heard since 330. Then let's just forget work and everything else and you lie down and rest. I won't be but a minute. Ah, swell. You know, Mary, it's like you say. When two people can't get along, it's tough. Yes, I know, dear. Thinking of June and Joe? Yeah. Gee, he must lead a dog's life. That makes you say that. Oh, just from the way she acts. Oh, well, maybe we can think of some way to bring them together. She's so nice. I don't think we should interfere, really. Nonsense. Joe's staying at a hotel. How did you know? The boss told me. I bet it's lonely there for him. Yeah, but it's quiet. Now, Oliver, that's not the right attitude. Why don't you talk to Joe? Not me. Well, then I think I'll talk to June. I don't think she wants to speak to you. Oh, that's silly. June likes us. She still doesn't want us to join her family circle. Oh, you just lean back and relax now. We'll eat in 20 minutes. June, you get back in time. Well, maybe I'll just step over to Homer's a minute. You know, you're acting very strangely, Oliver. I am? Yes, you are. What's going on? Well, I guess there's no sense in keeping quiet. Boss won't care if you know. The boss? Why shouldn't I know? Well, look, now, Joe bought this hairdryer for June, and I was supposed to give it to her and say nothing. And? She wouldn't take it. She told me to get out. Well, of all the nerve, when you were just trying to help. Yeah, well, of course, it was part of my job, too. She's the niece of the boss's wife. Yes, I know. Then Homer hung around to see what happened. Hung around where? Hung around the Adam's house. Oh, no. Well, what did you tell him? Well, I didn't want to tell him Joe said it, so I told him I was just dropping it off there. Did you go in the house? I, yes, just to show her how it worked. Did you have to show her how it worked? Well, yes, you know how women are about those things. Mm-hmm, yes, I do. Oh, come on. Seems funny. She could read the directions. She was positively insulting. Oh, she was, huh? Well, I'll speak to her about it. I don't care if she is president of the auxiliary. No, don't talk to her. Why? Oh, nothing. It would be better if you didn't. She's angry with me. I mean, uh... Well, now I am interested. Listen, I was only... Oh, I'm not going to accuse you of things, because I don't know. I'll certainly tell June she's out of place insulting my husband. No, no, let it go, Mary. She has enough trouble already. Enough trouble? Yeah, she still has Joe. I'll get it. Yes, Mary Anderson speaking. Hello, Mary. This is Homer. Well, hello, Homer. Uh, what's wrong? Wrong? Uh, well, nothing, Mary. Nothing at all. Uh, let me speak to Oliver. Oliver's lying down, Homer. I am not. Let me have it, Mary. Oh, here he is, Homer. Thanks. Oh, hello, Homer. What is it? Uh, house. Joe Adams? What is it, Oliver? So Joe just walked by your house. So what? And he's mad? Back door? Well, no, no. Wait a minute. Uh, please warn you like this. Oh, well, uh... I'll take care of myself, Homer. Yeah, I hope so. No, no, no. I won't mention it, Homer. So long. So long. What's wrong with Homer? Uh, that's a fine thing. Joe Adams is headed this way with blood in his eye. He is? I wonder why. Or do I? The Anderson family. They say it's always darkest just before the dawn. But I'm afraid something besides the dawn is about to break. For walking up to the Anderson's front door is none other than Joe Adams. And he's not smiling. Must be someone at the door, huh? Sounds like it. What are you waiting for? Just tell him I don't care to talk to him. Why? Look, look, Mary, Joe's getting madder every minute. Just tell him I don't feel well. Come back tomorrow. We won't have any trouble in here. I can tell you that. Yes? Is Casanova Anderson at home? Why, yes. Come in. Junior isn't home, is he? Why, no. Why? I hate scenes around kids. Oh. Oh, there you are, Anderson. Well, wow, this is a surprise. How are you, Joe? Sit down. No, no, I'll stand. I just want to ask you two questions. Two? Well, maybe I can answer them. Stand back, Mrs. Anderson. He may not give me the right answer. Now, just a minute, Joe Adams. Yeah, just a minute, Joe Adams. Excuse me, Mrs. Anderson. I forgot myself. This isn't the place for a brawl, but brawl. Yes, anyhow, here's the questions. One, did you stop in to see my wife? Why? Yes, I did. I was just delivering her. Just answer yes or no. So it's yes. Yeah. OK, that clears up number one. Would you please leave, Mr. Adams? Wait, Mary, I want to hear question number two. OK, number two, who was that midget who went in just ahead of you? Oh, you mean? I don't know who you mean, Adams. Oh, you don't, eh? I went there on business. What business? It's my business. Look, Anderson, nobody's going to try to break up my home unless I do it myself. And if that shoe fits, put it on, brother. Well, now, look, Joe, I was just trying to help. Oh, yeah. Now, look, Joe, this is absolutely silly. There you see. It is. You know, Mrs. Anderson, there's no point in breaking up two homes. Otherwise, I'd go into details. Into details? Yes. Or else, perhaps Oliver would rather come out and back with me and have this thing out. In back? Well, it's kind of torn up back there. Couldn't we just walk down to the corner? It's lighter there. Corner, OK. I just want you satisfied. But you're not going to enjoy this interview anyhow. Oh, yeah? I mean, all right. Maybe we should talk it over. Come on. Oliver, for heaven's sakes, don't. This is for your own good, Mrs. Anderson. Believe me. Come on. Maybe there are a few things you don't know. Now, remember, Mrs. Anderson, he's going out on his own free will. She knows that. Come on. Oliver, you're not going out there. This is just part of your plan to bring these two lovely people together. I got to hand it to you, Anderson. You've got nerve. What is it, Mary? Homer, you have to help me. Shh. Martha, he's just taking a little nap. I'll just tip out in front with you. All right. Yeah. Hey, I hope nobody's mixed me up in this thing, Mary. Well, that's not the idea, Homer. Oliver's gone with Joe. He's gone with that fellow? And I'm worried. You get your coat on and go down to the corner. Who, me? Yes. Well, now, Mary seems like that's your place. You know, he wouldn't strike a woman. Well, that's not the idea. You know Oliver did nothing wrong. Maybe you could talk to Joe, too. He wouldn't cause trouble with two of you there. He's real mad, huh? He certainly is, Homer. Well, no, no. As much as I'd like to help Oliver, it don't seem right for me to be getting all bruised up. It ain't no doings of mine, you know. I see. A fine friend. Well, now, look here. Mary, you know my position here at home. Martha ain't the calm type like you be, Mary. And anyhow, Joe don't like me. I know Oliver will be glad to hear what a great friend you are, Homer. Well, now, I am a friend, Mary. So help me. But, you know, I can't break up my home, too. Anyhow, maybe Oliver will land a lucky punch. Don't talk like that. I know Oliver. Well, gosh, now, Mary, I feel right sorry for both of you. But like I said... Well, all right, Homer. Maybe it's only fair, but I should tell you that he knows about the man who visited Mrs. Adams before Oliver went in. He does? Well, now, I mean, he didn't mention no names, did he? I don't think he knew your name. But he asked who the midget was. Midget? Why, that poquette, that snake-in-sheep's clothing, the rate a man livin' could insult my height that way. Wait, I tell Martha you to get the hot warden, aren't you ready? And I'll show you, Mary. Though I say to myself, this Anderson guy's movin' in. Well, naturally, I was perturbed, say the least. I know, I feel. It's a good thing you didn't try to carry out your plan to annihilate me. Just look what it would happen. You mean you would have been unjustly thrashed. No, no, no, of course not. What I mean was, even if you've been able to walk, they'd have shoveled you up into an ambulance and your wife would have said good enough for the bum. So I'm a bum. Well, just to your wife. You see, I've saved you all that humiliation. Now you can go on back home and hold your chin up. Both of them, everything's all set now. I didn't tell her the hairdryer was from you. Is that good? Of course. Now look and see how swell she feels. To be able to brush off fellows or bring things to her. Gosh, I never looked at it that way, Anderson. Did she like the dryer? No, because it wasn't from you. You see what I'm telling you? You know, Anderson, you've been my friend. Well, let's say I tried to be. Now we'll just go back to our house and get the dryer. I think now would be a time for you to put in an appearance with the present. Yeah, and to think I was going to flatten you, I apologize. Ah, forget it. Don't you worry. I'm not worrying. Well, we'll stop at your place and get the dryer. Then I'll make the presentation. That's right. You can't miss. I'll walk over with you just to let you run over your getting back in speech a few times with some coaching. You know, Anderson, I'll never forget this. When she comes to the door, you take her in your arms and hug her. Tell her how much you love her and then dodge fast. I just dodge. That's right. Now, ring. You got the dryer? Yeah, yeah. Right under my arm. Darling, come to my arms. Oh, you. Get out before I call the police. Wait, Mrs. Adams. He's eating his heart out. Who asked you? Yeah, who asked you? Well, I just thought you... Joe, are you going to let this person interfere? No, wait. Count me out of this. I'm only helping out here. Who asked you to help out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who asked you? Well, I thought you... Joe and I were always happy until outside parties started helping out. Yeah, I'm no outside person. And I'm sick and tired of having my family grievances have aired on every side walking and in every soda fountain. I haven't been in a soda fountain in two weeks. Has this meddler been doing that? No, just wait a minute here. Here, here, honey. Hold my glasses. Not on my phone. Take them out to the curb. Now, look, Joe. Remember, the jail is a pretty poor substitute for the good outside air. Oh, yes, of course. A salt and batter. Sure. So while you two love birds make up, I'll run on home. You have so much to talk about. And try staying there. Yeah, yeah. Try staying there. Well, now that you're back... Yes, dear. I want you to come in and explain something to me about this drier. Now, Mary, I wouldn't worry too much about Oliver. You know how he is. Yes, I know. That's why I'm worried. How come he got started on this, sir? Referee in business. Oh, it's all my fault, Homer. Oh, it is, huh? Yes. I'm the one who kept asking him to help them. Gosh, maybe this is Oliver coming home now. Oliver? What is it? Oh, are you all right, darling? All right, of course I am. But, Joe, what's the matter? That's all straight and out. I just left Joe and Mrs. Adams making goo-goo eyes at each other. Yeah, they don't sound right, Oliver. Not them too, anyhow. But, Oliver, you explained to Joe why you called on her. Of course. We came home, got the drier, took it with us, and he gave it to her. Well, I must have been over talking with Homer and Martha. I didn't think you could do it, Oliver, so help me, I didn't. Ah, it was nothing. Ah, I'm so glad it all came out so well, Oliver. I was worried. Yeah, both of us. But I just assumed try to make a bigger success of our lives. That takes time, too. Well, of course it does, darling. But you did so well. You know, it reminds me one time Martha got on her high horse and she says to me, she says one thing. Look, look, look. Can you bring that up at another time, Homer? I'm tired. Tired? Yeah. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, sure. Well, I was just keeping Mary company till you come back. You know, I'm beginning to wonder, Homer. Oh, now stop teasing Homer. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. He ain't teasing me, Mary. Night, Homer. Good night. Oh, I'm so thrilled, Oliver. Just think, Joe and Mrs. Adams back together again. And happy. Just through your efforts, huh? Oh, no. Doesn't it make you feel grand when you know you took two lives and molded them back into something beautiful? Beautiful? Mm-hmm. You know Joe better than that, don't you? Well, at any rate, we did all we could. I'm glad it turned out so well for them. I'll get it, Mary. Probably some congratulations. Yes, Oliver Anderson speaking. I just wanted to call... Bungle it? Yes, bungle it. Oh, no, I didn't. They're together again. That's what I mean. We've been trying to get Joe out of our family for years, and that's why I suggested he send her that cheap dryer. Well, I didn't know. The boss told me to make her take it. He said no such thing. Oh, well, I guess if you want things done right, you'd better do them yourself. Goodbye. What a way to talk to the boss's wife, Oliver. Oh, this thing makes me tired. The boss says this. The boss's wife says that. You say this. Homer says I'm mouthful. Maybe we should just watch out for the Anderson's for a change. Hi, Oliver. How you talk? Well... I was only trying to help. Yes, I know, Mary. I'm sorry. But you really mean it. That's what hurts. Oh, come on now, honey. I'm just burned up, that's all. When you try to help someone, you offend others. It just doesn't work out. But in this case it did. Without you, Joe would be moping. Without you, Joe would be moping around somewhere, and his wife would be heartbroken. I'd still be in the middle. No. All right, darling. You must admit my plan was good. Oh, now what? Mrs. Adams probably wants to thank us. Yes, Oliver Anderson speaking. This is Joe Adams. And listen here, you... Now, now, wait a minute. Don't speak that way in front of your wife. My wife isn't here. I'm phoning from the drugstore. Drugstore? What's wrong? Well, maybe you can explain that. I'm coming over. Now, now, wait, Joe. You said to give her the drugs. What is it, Oliver? Look, you want the Adams' to be happy. Yes. You want them to get together again. Yes. In fact, you're going to make it our business. Well, now, Oliver... Okay. Well, Joe is on his way over here. Only this time you explain to him. I'm not going to talk him out of it this time. But you said they were together and happy. I just said they were together. And for being just an innocent bystander, I'm getting pushed around. But what are you going to do, Oliver? I'm going over to Homer Meister's garage and get a good night's sleep. And brother, I'll be bolded in. If you need me, send Junior over, because I won't be back tonight.

UC4AEwX_lm1xmkxNA2V9RRUA	Digital Learning Guidance: Preparing Educators	Accessible Video with Audio Description: https://otan.us/resources/digital-learning-guidance/digital-learning-guidance-preparing-educators/ The California Adult Education Digital Learning Guidance supports adult education programs in effective technology integration and provides strategies to build educator and system capacity focused on digital learning. Read the Guidance document on the OTAN website: https://otan.us/resources/digital-learning-guidance/ This video on the topic of Preparing Educators will help to answer the following question, how can professional development prepare educators for implementing digital learning?	null	2022-09-01T20:47:57	2024-04-23T16:50:19	435	v6DWKsLyK20	Preparing educators for digital learning. How can professional development prepare educators for implementing digital learning? I am Oscar Medinaen with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. And there I am a supervisor of correctional education programs with the Office of Correctional Education. The approach is fairly similar across all of the different tools. We work very closely with our partner vendors and prep some trainings specifically for our academic coaches. So they become the first line experts of any of our tools. Afterwards we work again with the vendor for them to provide training in a larger scale throughout the state. Some of those will be in person, some of them will be virtual as you know access allows. And from that point on we continue working with the vendors to look at metrics for usage. And then we work with site administrators to support them in the implementation of the different tools. So we give them training specifically to understand how to use the monitoring aspects of data analytics for the various programs. And the academic coaches also provide direct on-site professional development to teachers. And more than anything one-on-one support on how to log into the tool, how to set up student accounts, how to integrate the tool into daily instruction. With a lot of support and very planned training we're able to provide almost a seamless professional development experience for teachers. Albeit that there needs to be that buy-in and support from the site administrator to make it happen. We try to be very proactive in how we plan and deliver our professional development. My name is Yesenia Delgado Lorenzo and I am a counselor and instructor at Hacienda la Puente Adult School. The most impactful professional development is going to be working with OTAN through the Digital Learning Academy. I had the opportunity to collaborate with two other teachers and we were able to take a whole course on how to bring technology into our classrooms. And I think the support of the administrators through that process and allowing us to try the new ideas in the classroom was definitely impactful because we saw the growth. We saw the growth from using no Chromebooks in the classroom. Teachers being scared of using the Chromebooks themselves to fully engage classrooms where the teacher was at the front of the class teaching and the students were following along with their Chromebooks. So that has been one of the most rewarding and most impactful experiences because we saw the growth as we kind of went through the Leadership Academy. So it was a two-year program. So we saw it from zero and then it kind of went into the pandemic. So by the time we pandemic started, we were ready. We saw the difference in how quickly our classes moved to Zoom, how quickly we moved everything online. And I think a lot of it had to do with us being really well-prepared and having that action plan ready to move forward with digital technology in the classrooms. My name is Dr. Ref Gonzalez. I'm the lead teacher for the Almoni Rosebead Adult School Adult Secondary Education Program. I joined D-LAC, OTAN's Digital Learning Academy. And I joined right before the pandemic. And what happened, our project for D-LAC was to create a blended course. That was the first blended course that was going to be used in our school. So then COVID hits and our department was most prepared to deal with all of the educational repercussions that COVID brought. So what happened was in our school, summer comes, our principal canceled summer school and recruited our D-LAC team to teach the entire staff how to, number one, how to use a learning management system, how to design a blended course and how to run a blended class. My name is Alisa Takayuchi. I am an ESL instructor for Gardening Grove Adult Education. I am also a remote ESL teacher for Tamil Pais Adult School and I'm a subject matter expert for OTAN. Professional Development has been key for the last couple of years because you're trying to teach teachers who are professionals, but yet they have instantly become students as well. And so the challenges of when I'm teaching my own students, you know, scaffolding and really stepping back, slowing it down, not giving them too much, really felt through for those teachers. And for me, you know, for me as a teacher, just learning about so many other tools, I thought I knew a lot and apparently there are so many other tools out there and really not being overwhelmed with all of it that was out there, but picking and choosing things that I thought would be really relevant for my class and that things that I thought were going to be useful and easy and user friendly for my students in particular. And then I would use it and do it and then I would go back and I would train other people about how great this tool was. And so it was this never-ending process of professional development that the teachers were gobbling up. My name is Ryan De La Vega. My title is ESL Resource Teacher. So I'm the lead of the department and I work at Torrance Adult School in Torrance, California. As far as professional development, I think the most impactful are where we're learning how to be more human, where we're learning to see things from the students' perspective and we're learning to empower them. It's kind of a shift from the old school talking head teacher at the front of the class and just I'm regurgitating the information and you shall absorb it through osmosis or whatever. It's making our students become critical thinkers and independent so that they're not just parrots repeating what we're saying but they actually know how to do on their own. So once they have that empowerment and that confidence, that's when they can really learn by doing. So I think that was probably the best professional development that teachers can get is to learn how to better empower your students. Development of the guidance was made possible by the California Department of Education Adult Education Office through Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Title II funds. The videos were produced by the Outreach and Technical Assistance Network at Sacramento County Office of Education in partnership with the International Society for Technology and Education.

UC0uVZd8N7FfIZnPu0y7o95A	What Drug Warriors Got Wrong About the Opioid Epidemic	The original formulation of OxyContin didn’t create the opioid crisis, argues psychiatrist Sally Satel, and removing it from the market didn’t make the problem go away. ------------------ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/ReasonTV?sub_confirmation=1 Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Reason.Magazine/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/reason Reason is the planet's leading source of news, politics, and culture from a libertarian perspective. Go to reason.com for a point of view you won't get from legacy media and old left-right opinion magazines. ---------------- Why did prescription opioids bring so much misery to the small towns of post-industrial America? The standard narrative is to put the blame on OxyContin, a powerful painkiller pushed on rural America by the profiteers at Purdue Pharma, which ended up filing for bankruptcy and settling criminal charges with the federal government for $8.3 billion. In this telling, the opioid epidemic is a morality tale of capitalism run amok and regulation made toothless by anti-government zealots. Sally Satel, a practicing psychiatrist and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, has a more complicated story to tell. In 2018, she moved to Ironton, Ohio, a small, economically depressed town in Appalachia. With the help of Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance, she found a job working with patients and social service providers to better understand the opioid epidemic. Satel says that the opioid crisis didn't start with OxyContin. It was a natural outgrowth of a century-old tradition of medicating pain as a way of tending to the broken bodies of the region's laborers. She stresses that "when the Purdue sales force came to small towns in Appalachia, it was pushing on open clinic doors." While there's no question that OxyContin was a particularly potent painkiller, it was merely the latest in a long line of legal and illegal substances used by people in the region to ease physical and psychological suffering. That's one of the reasons why even after OxyContin was reformulated to reduce abuse and opioid prescriptions declined, overdoses and dysfunction are still commonplace. Satel also challenges conventional theories of addiction, which typically characterize addiction as a disease like diabetes or Alzheimer's. That narrative denies the agency of individuals with substance abuse issues and makes it harder to treat them. Substance abuse, she says, derives from both inborn predilections and environment. Effective treatment has to deal with both factors. In a deeply ironic way, many of the people who blame the opioid epidemic on bad pills see the solution as a different set of pills such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. Satel stresses that the best way forward is to give individuals tools to make better use decisions while improving their chances to live lives with open-ended futures.

The standard narrative is to put all the blame on OxyContin, a powerful painkiller pushed on rural America by the profiteers at Purdue Pharma. Under a settlement agreement, Purdue would plead guilty to three federal criminal charges related to its role in pushing the powerful painkiller OxyContin. In this telling, the opioid epidemic is a morality tale of capitalism run amuck and regulation made toothless by anti-government zealots. Sally Sattel, a practicing psychiatrist and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, has a more complicated story to tell. In 2018, she moved to Iron Tin, Ohio, a small economically depressed town in Appalachia. With the help of Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance, she found a job working with patients and social service providers to better understand the opioid epidemic. Sattel says that the opioid crisis didn't start with OxyContin. It was a natural outgrowth of a century old tradition of medicating pain as a way of tending to the broken bodies of the region's laborers. All the men worked in these very physically brutal jobs, and if they couldn't work, they couldn't live there. Even though many of them were in agony, they had to work, and the Coal Camp doctor who was employed by the company had to get them into the mines, so they medicated them so that they couldn't work, which is not to say that the medication might not have been indicated alone for pain control, but it also is a way to make sure that the labor continued. There had been trafficking of prescription pills for a long time, gray market pills, mainly Percocet, Lortab, Vicodin, Roxycodone. Sattel stresses that when the Purdue Salesforce came to small towns in Appalachia, it was pushing on open clinic doors. Their product, OxyContin, was a particularly potent form of Oxycodone. Your average Percocet is 5 to 10 milligrams of Oxycodone, but an OxyContin pill can have up to 80 milligrams. But there was a reason for that potency. The drug was engineered to release the medication slowly over a longer period of time. The appeal of OxyContin is that it was long acting, so that if you had chronic pain, you had a more steady blood level that is a pharmacologically legitimate strategy. But patients started misusing it. When you chop up that pill and either snort it or inject it, mix it with water and inject it, then you're getting an enormous rush and it's a pharmaceutical grade. The common narrative is that patients with no history of addiction got duped into becoming addicts after doctors prescribed them pain medication. That's mostly a myth. Only 22% got them from a doctor. Even that doesn't mean that they did not present themselves in such a way as to get medication when they really were intending to abuse it, which is not that common. The average person who abuses these medications knows what they're doing. Just as the original formulation of OxyContin didn't create the opioid crisis, removing it from the market didn't make the problem go away. Pill prescribing peaked around 2010, 2011 and that peak or the descent after that peak really was an amalgam of several things. One OxyContin was reformulated so it couldn't be chopped up, but as pills became less available to people who abused them, heroin was there. 2015 is when you start to see the rise of heroin and it was really always waiting in the wings. Satelle also challenges the view that addiction is a disease similar to diabetes or Alzheimer's. That narrative, she says, denies the agency of individuals with substance abuse issues and makes it harder to treat them. Of course the brain has changed in addiction, but the point is the brain isn't changed to the point where a person can no longer make decisions. It's a behavioral phenomenon that responds to contingencies, that responds to consequences. If you talk to someone who drinks too much or uses drugs too much, and I emphasize the too much because that's the problem, and I'd say to them, what are you doing that? What's going on? That question makes sense. That question can be answered in existential terms. If I said to the person with Alzheimer's disease, why do you have Alzheimer's disease? Oh, maybe they'll talk to me about plaques and tangles and a kind of neuro pathology, but the answer doesn't come in the form in existential language. And that's very important because that goes to why people use and it goes to how we get them out of it. Satelle argues that substance abuse derives from both inborn predilections and environment. Effective treatment has to deal with both factors. I think the more we medicalize this problem, the more we're going to be misled, the more we're going to put emphasis on the medications, the methadones, buprenorphine, naltrexones, and I'm all in favor of those medications because they help people stand still. And if you're out, if you're craving, if you're running around, you're never going to make the first step towards stopping. So I offer the medications, but to think that could possibly be enough strikes me as incredibly naive. The National Institute on Drug Abuse, they show brain scans and they talk about this as, quote, a disease like any other, which of course it's not. And when you go to a place like, you know, Ironton, you can see how medicine and public health are necessary, but not at all sufficient because what do you do when you finally do get somebody sober, but they're in an environment that doesn't appear to offer much. In a deeply ironic way, many of the people who blame the opioid epidemic on bad pills see the solution as a different set of pills, methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. Citel stresses that the best way forward is to give individuals tools to make better use decisions while improving their chances to live lives with open-ended futures. Sometimes a pill does make a massive difference, but usually so much other work needs to be done as well. But I think having a pill, quote, unquote, magic bullet, the hope of the fantasy of a magic bullet can reinforce that notion.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6LVC1sAmhU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC_TneqvSfh-KsIyZMlJjVsQ	Kremlin may exploit false flag operations in Transnistria to undermine Ukrainian grain exports	#Kanal13 #likekanal13 #subscribekanal13 #warinukraine https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 - SUBSCRIBE TO US! The Kremlin may try to exploit false flag operations in Transnistria to undermine Ukrainian grain exports along the western Black Sea coast, to claim that Russia must protect ethnic Russians and Russian speakers, and to stir up instability in Moldova. Institute for the Study of War said this. The institute’s analysts recall that on 10 January, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that it had summoned the ambassador of Moldova to express disapproval of Moldova's "unfriendly actions," which included "cases of discrimination against Russian citizens entering Moldova" and "politically motivated persecution of Russian and Russian-language media." The Russian Foreign Ministry said menacingly that if such actions continue, "the Russian side reserves the right to take additional retaliatory measures." At the same time, it is recalled that Russia, in particular, used such excuses when it carried out a military intervention in favour of separatist Transnistria in 1992. The ISW says the Kremlin probably tried to create information conditions for a possible false flag operation in Transnistria in April 2022 and February 2023, but failed partly for economic reasons. Experts emphasise that the Kremlin may consider the operation under a false flag in Transnistria as an alternative way to keep countries from participating in the Ukrainian grain corridor, despite the weakening of the Russian presence in the western part of the Black Sea http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join - click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism http://t.me/kanal13tv & https://bit.ly/37BVMqU https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://bit.ly/2Rs6MB3 #lastminutenewsfromukraine #kanal13ukraine https://bit.ly/2V19Fdy Click here and just subscribe to Kanal13 - https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/KANAL13AZ/join *ATTENTION: If you woul like to contact with US please, write to +49176 75077516 WhatsApp ▌▌►Website: http://kanal13.tv/ http://www.facebook.com/tvkanal13 https://twitter.com/Kanal13Az https://www.instagram.com/kanal13.az Click & Subscribe to the main youtube Channel © KANAL13 [ Azərbaycanın ilk peşəkar internet televiziyası ] The First Internet TV of Azerbaijan Tags: #Ukriane, #Russia, #Putin, #Putler, #Russian invasion of Ukraine, #Zelenski, #Kiev, #Kyiv, #Kadirov army, #Kadirov, #Kherson, #Bucha, #Kharkiv, #Ukrainian pilots, #vagners, #Russian tanks, #NATO, #drones, #Moscow, #Kreml, #war victims #Ukraina, News, The Washington Post, waPo Video, Washington Post Video, Washington Post YouTube, a:politics, aid, biden, putin, s:Politics, support, t:Other, Ukraine, war, fact check, news coverage, Donald Trump, news, wp video, forbes, nytimes, newspaper, media, journalism, Ilham Aliyev, Baku, Azerbaijan, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Tel-Aviv, Garabag, Karabakh, football, ronaldo, messi, brian tyler cohen	[ "Russia", "Putin", "Putler", "Russian invasion of Ukraine", "Zelenski", "Kiev", "Kyiv", "Kadirov army", "Kadirov", "Kherson", "Bucha", "Kharkiv", "Ukrainian pilots", "vagners", "Russian tanks", "NATO", "drones", "Moscow", "Kreml", "war victims Ukraina", "U.S. congress", "U.S Senat", "biden", "trump", "Donald Trump", "US elections", "Wray Over Agents' Abuses", "Washington Post", "nytimes", "foreignpolicy", "capitol hill", "WaPo Videos", "politics", "latest news", "Republican Speaker", "US news", "president elections U.S.", "america elections", "fake news politics", "forbes" ]	2024-01-13T22:30:10	2024-02-14T18:41:04	99	V6T_cCa8vDw	Kremlin may exploit false flag operations in Transnistria to undermine Ukrainian grain exports.

And YouTube have just made that a lot easier for us with the new shopping tab that they've added into the monetization section of YouTube Studio. So in this video, I'm going to show you how to go through the process of setting that up, linking it with a merch store, and then also how this is going to look for your viewers when they're watching your videos and how to integrate it. So let's just jump straight over into YouTube Studio. And this is all to be found in the monetization tab. Now, I should say that this is obviously a monetization feature, so you do need to be monetized on YouTube in terms of meeting that requirement of 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours. And assuming that you have got monetization, then when you open this tab, what you'll see is that in addition to the previous ads overview and the memberships and supers, we've now also got this shopping tab. Now, when you come into the shopping tab for the first time, what you're actually going to see is something like this. It's going to ask you to connect to your store. So it will say add products to your store, connect to a store to promote your products and merchandise and so on, connect to store. And you've basically got three options. They are either Speedify, Spreadshop or Spring. Now, Spring and Spreadshop are pretty similar. Those are online merch stores where basically the zero setup cost for you as the creator, you're just going to go in there, you upload your designs that you want, you pick the products that you want and I'll show you what my merch store looks like so that you can see how that kind of works. It's pretty straightforward and easy to do. And as I say, there's no setup cost. They basically print everything on demand and you just get your commission out of all of the sales that are made. So it's really, as I say, nothing, no setup cost involved whatsoever. Now Shopify is a bit different. That is more like an online platform to manage your orders and things like that. But generally you'll be then sort of doing the fulfillment yourself, but if you have got product and things like that that you want to sell through that or you're affiliated with other Shopify stores, then you would be able to do that all through Shopify. As I say, I'm going with Spreadshop though, just because that's the one I've had some experience with before and I know that they are pretty reliable, but I'm sure the others are as well. And I didn't want to get into any fulfillment. So all you're going to do though is click on here to connect to your account. It'll take you into your account on Spreadshop, Spring or Shopify. You're then giving YouTube access to see that account and then from within that account, they're going to prompt you to go and grant access to your YouTube account. So basically the two can talk to each other. So these two sort of little approval processes to go through, pretty painless and it's all done in a matter of minutes. Once you've done that though, when you come back over into your YouTube shopping section, then what you see is this. You've got a list of your products. I can come down here, click this little arrow. These are the products that I've got available on my Spreadshop account. And then you can also choose which products to display. So if I come down here to customize, these are the products that are in my Shopify shop and then I can choose which ones I want to add over here into the ones to display. So at the moment, they're kind of all in there, but if I just come and say, take this one out, where is it down here somewhere? Let me just drop it out. I've got to take anyone out to actually drop that out. There you go. So this one is sort of highlighted white, meaning it's not currently in the list. And then all you do is just sort of drag it across and you can see how easy it is to delete things as well. So that's how you're choosing what is going to be displayed from your Spreadshop, in this case, store on your YouTube store. So once you click on save, that's done. And in terms of how your viewers, your subscribers are going to see it, there's basically two ways. You first of all have a store actually now on YouTube. So if I go to my YouTube homepage, then you can see here we've got home along the top here. We've got home, videos, playlist, community, and now we've got the store tab. So when you go into the store tab, this is now basically showing all of those products that we just selected in the YouTube studio. This is what people would see when they visit my YouTube page. Now, it does show you the actual item itself. Then it gives you the description of it and then the price. But all of the links, as you can see, say from Spreadshop, it's telling you where it's going to redirect you to. And indeed, when somebody clicks on one of these things, say they click on this mug, click in there, that is basically going to take them through to the Spreadshop shop. So it would take them through to this page for the actual product itself. And then all of the actual transaction is done through there. So it's not a case of you're selling stuff through YouTube and YouTube are taking a cut or anything like this. It is just a case of giving you this platform, if you like to, or storefront, to then direct them to some external store. Once they are here, one thing I will just say is you can also browse the rest of the products. So you could then, this could be a gateway into a product library. So here I do actually have some additional products. One thing I'll say then is that I've just added in some more products and they haven't actually updated just yet on the store side of things. So if you can see here, there's a whole another live streamer logo here that I've created, that there is a series of products on for this. However, if I go back into YouTube studio, it's not quite updated. So I don't know what the update frequency is, whether it updates on a sort of daily basis or something like that, whether they have a little, the two platforms chat with one another to update the product list. But certainly you can see that not everything that is on the web is actually in this product list at the moment. But this is what happened with some other new ones that I added. It just took a few hours or something like that to update. So if you have gone in and added some more into SpreadShop in your excitement and then are wondering why they're not in YouTube, I would recommend just giving it a few hours or a day or so and then just see if they're there the following day. So if we then have a look at the other way that people can find this because you obviously got the store then on your website or sorry, on your YouTube channel. But the great thing is you can also actually feature them in videos. So let's have a little look how to do that, shall we? If I come over to a video and here we are in YouTube studio for a video I did where I happened to be wearing this same hoodie. And if I want to add this now into that video, we're gonna come down to the monetization section. So here you can see the monetization tab and click on that. This is generally where you would set your things related to ads. So ads and premium, you can select what type of ads you want in there. Well now you can see we've got this shopping tab at the top. So all I'm gonna do is click on here and then it says tag products in video. And so I can click on the tag products and that's gonna bring up basically just my Shopify list just like we had in the other section. And I'll just come down here, look for the particular product, drag it in and click save. And I've now then embedded that product in that particular video. And you can add multiple products. And the way that that looks then for the user, the viewer I should say, is if I come over to an example video, which is this one. So this is another video where I have to be wearing this same hoodie, which is down here, this one, recovering perfectionist men's hoodie. And what you can see is because I've attached it to that video, then now it actually appears down here alongside the video. It also appears, if I just close this one down, here you'll see that there is a little button on the bottom of the video, bottom left hand side of the video saying view products. And when you click on that, then it does just actually pop up the list of products here. And then once again, clicking on that would take people through to the to spread shop. Now, if you are on mobile, then it looks a little bit different to that. So let me just pull that up. You've still got the same little button there. And then the items are actually down below here. So sort of further down, but at least they are still on screen. So it means that traditionally, if you wanna tell people about your merch store, you may have a link in the description telling people to go there and so on. This just makes it much more sort of out in front of everybody. So that even if you're not mentioning it, then it is still clear that these things are available. And so it's a great way to distribute your merch. Now, just quickly, if I show you how Spreadshirt works, so I'll just come over to Spreadshirt. So in here, all you do is you just literally drag in a design. So drag and drop your design in. So this is one that I've just recently uploaded. You click on the design that you want. It will tell you the different things that you've got, different items that you've got associated with it. But I can just come in here. Sorry, I got that silly overlay over there covering everything up. Here we go, that's a bit better. So these are the different products and I can just click in all products. It will show me a list of all potential products that I could have with this particular thing. So say I thought, maybe I want to have a long sleeve T-shirt. There's all kinds of different things down here. Stickers, men's clothes, women's clothes, children's clothes, all that kind of stuff. You can see I'm just really whizzing through. There's other things like mugs, hats, all that kind of thing, tote bags and so on. So let's say, okay, I want to have a duffel bag like this and then I'll click on done and then I can scroll down and there we go. There's the duffel bag and then you just click in here and then we've now got that logo on the side. You can choose where to put it. So you've got the front, back, right and left and so on and what you'll see over this side then is you can choose things like the product color. So actually, although it says product color, usually whatever selection is in here, the buyer will have the option to choose whichever color they want in any case. So you're just having basically having a look at how it looks. Click on print area. So this happens to have four different print areas. You can choose either you want it on the front. It happens to be on the back here, right or left and you can just basically drag this where you want. So if I change it to the right, you can see that it's now put that logo on the right. You can also click into here and make some adjustments in terms of size. Actually, that happens to be at the maximum size but you can sort of adjust it like this, put it at an angle if you want and so on. So you have got this sort of level of adjustment available to you and if you move something outside of the bounding box of the printable area, then you'll see here it says this design is outside of the print area. So it's a really simple process to be honest to actually use this and set it up. Once you've completed the design, you just click on done, then you would go through and give the product a name. Sorry, the design a name I should say. So if I just click on apply there. So this has a name. When you drop a new design on, it will ask you to also just give it a name here. So we've got live streamer, the different logos and things like that. And that is it. It is as simple as that. And then it's click connected to your YouTube and then all of your merch will be available on YouTube. So I hope you found that useful. Obviously, link to my merch you'll now know is down in the description. And what I'll do is I'll leave a link to some other videos all about YouTube over on the right hand side.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6pjnUIQvEs", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

sleepy eyes here just fall asleep I'm just gonna believe that you just encountering the Holy Spirit and I'm not taking a holy nap by Passive Vlad said amen amen awesome so I think we're kind of settled on that we got the people beautiful so those of you guys don't know me my name is Zach I lead the youth ministry here and been part of this church since the day it started was actually born on the first pew joking but a little bit of trauma but it's all good no I love this church I love our pastors and so I'm very grateful and very thankful for our pastors for giving me opportunity to lead this session and so I want to I'm gonna preach teach and talk about what God is doing share some testimonies from our students talk about what God is doing in our church in our youth ministry and also in our schools some of you guys that don't know we started about one year ago we started an unashamed clubs that goes into our local high schools in middle schools as of right now we have four high schools about five to six clubs in those high schools we are about to release one middle school and then one more high school within the next two weeks and we see weekly monthly about 20 to 30 40 sometimes salvation's a month of local high schoolers giving their lives to Jesus we give glory to God we thank God for that and so today I want to when I think about the young generation when I think about Gen Z in the youth I think about a few stories in the Bible and so can I just preach for a couple minutes not too long and so I just want to encourage you guys I don't know it all I will not act like I know it all but what I do know I will give and I pray something you guys get something out of this my goal my prayer is that you guys leave this place some of you guys as youth ministries are a million times bigger give me advice after this but what we do have God is moving in our youth ministry and in our leaders in our high schools and so I want to just give what we know amen you guys ready amen the title of my subject today it will be called the youth are the leaders of today are the leaders of today let's pray and then we're gonna go into that Father God we come before you we thank you for your spirit in this place we thank you God for what you've already done God we ask you come into this place come into the session blessed God I pray God I may not be my words God but your words that come out of my mouth God and it will land on good soil God I rebuke every enemy that's gonna cause the to steal the seed I commanded that I'll stay they will leave and that this word will go into the hearts of many in Jesus name amen amen very simple message very easy message but I believe the youth are the future not of tomorrow but of today and I believe the devil knows that sometimes more than the church does I believe the devil is has an agenda not only I believe you guys see what is happening in our world right now and I want to read from a few stories we're gonna bounce between Genesis and Exodus but I want to read from Exodus 2 to it's the story of Moses's birth you know we all know Moses yes all right sounds good I would hope so and so Moses is being born he gets born and Moses's mother the Bible says in Exodus 2 about this time a man and a woman from the tribe of Levi I got married the woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son she saw that he was a special baby someone says special baby and kept him hidden for three months and so here we have Moses he's a baby and we have Moses's mother looks at Moses and says I see something special inside of this baby I see I see greatness inside of this baby and during that time the reason she the Bible says she kept him hidden for three months the reason why is because it was a name came there was a king named Pharaoh Pharaoh during this time he was no good no bueno he was not a good king and he was scared in them in that time because the Hebrew people were multiplying they were expanding and Pharaoh was scared that because they're expanding so much and they don't really like Pharaoh that much that maybe in the future if an enemy comes the Hebrew people because they're multiplying will partner with the ally with the enemy and overtake Pharaoh and so this what Pharaoh does he puts out a decree he puts out the man that all the midwives kill the Hebrew babies keep kill all the newborns isn't it like what is happening in our generation right now we see the Washington law just released a bill that they can the government can take I think it's 13 and older babies teenagers from their own families if the teenagers confuse about their identity or who they are their gender and the parents of consent with it the government can take them put them in a into a shelter not even disclose the location to their families I mean completely demonic and they will operate operations and surgeries that can never be changed in this person's life in this teenagers life and this is exactly what the devil is trying to do in our generation he is trying to go after the youth this is why every single agenda this is why every single plan right now is not planned for the elderly is not planned for the people with the white hair or I like to say the seasoned people amen just so no offense or anything amen it's not planned for that everything the algorithm of the enemy is pointed towards teenagers and this is what I love the Pharaoh was scared that the Bible says this was there was if there is a future attack on Pharaoh these babies in order to prevent a future attack I have to take out not the soldiers right now why does he go all the way down to babies because the devil understands the youth are the future the youth are not leaders of tomorrow they are leaders of today this is why that the Pharaoh of our generation the Pharaoh of our culture is after the babies because he understands if babies if teenagers grow up in Christ there will be an attack on the enemy's camp and they're gonna go after everything that he stole in our generation so what does he try to do he tries to put an agenda he tries to put bills laws to kill babies to kill teenagers to kill and put drugs inject different things surgeries this and this that were irreversible to destroy the youth he's after and he he understands there's a future attack on his camp and he doesn't go after elderly doesn't go after this I mean of course he does but he focuses and he focuses on the youth it's because the devil is scared of young people we see it all over today teen agency they are loud I mean you see the riots it's it's all caused by Gen Z it's young people the moment they believe in something whether good or bad they are passionate about it and this is not this is not a desire that the enemy gave up this passion this drive is something God put inside of them it's just the devil and the lies of the enemy are taking that passion diverting it towards culture taking it and driving it so us as youth leaders us as pastors we have to understand we can't we there is no we got time oh the youth got time it's not now they got no no no no now we have to start pouring into them we gotta start putting on them on the stage now we gotta start believing in them now we gotta start putting them in positions to lead now whoa if this is gonna happen they're not ready the devil doesn't think like us he doesn't care that they're ready he's gonna make them ready in the same way they might not look like disciples right now but the Bible says go make the disciples like pastor glad said let's take him in under our wing and begin to nurture them and make him into soldiers in Jesus name I want you to see in Exodus 3 just one chapter later Moses obviously escapes Moses's mother releases Moses down the Nile River to hide to get away from Pharaoh and then obviously Moses grows up Exodus 3 verses 9 and 10 about this is God speaking to Moses and he says now therefore behold the cry of the children of Israel has come to me and I have also seen the oppression which the Egyptians have which the Egyptians oppressed them come now before therefore I will send you to Pharaoh do you see Pharaoh one chapter before was trying to kill the young babies trying to kill Moses because he the devil understands the very thing he was trying to kill the reason he's trying to kill it because he knows in chapter 3 God is gonna use those very babies to go back to the Pharaoh's camp and free the children of Israel guys the youth we have to start to look at the youth not as babies if your babysit teenagers you will birth babies if you lead teenagers you will get leaders I want you to write that down if your babysit teenagers you will get babies if you lead teenagers you will get leaders you will get soldiers amen we have to pour into them we have to believe into them not the leaders of tomorrow but the leaders of today you know when I started the youth ministry I came in a transfer from pastor Vlad a couple people and then came to me and I was the one foolish enough to accept the offer I was like God yeah I'll just give you the rest of my life and and so I came in it was youth young adults and it was great and all that kind of stuff but I realized it was more young adults and married people than it was youth and I was like something's wrong and so we switched the beginning of 2022 right 2022 we switched to youth ministry and I felt clearly from God God speak to me he says Zach the devil is working behind the scenes you also have to work behind the scenes the devil is working quietly one day he will be loud so you the you don't attack once it's loud you attack once is quiet and so you have to start preparing I remember hearing this clearly he says if you focus on the youth when their teenagers you won't have to fix them when they're adults you won't have to how many people here and let's be real and raw your life would look a little bit different if at a teenage at your teenage days people would have believed poured in and you would have received it you would have left would have looked a little bit different of course God works things out for the good we believe that but I remember preaching sometimes and I have security guards as parents and the parents would come to me pull me to a side crying I'm like oh okay sounds good they'll pull me aside they said Zach you're preaching the teenagers but you don't understand if if I wish at 40 years old I wish I was in this youth ministry because this would have saved me so from so much and so I began to step back and realize a lot of the issues at 30 40 50 60 70 are because there was a neglection of youth when there were 10 11 12 13 14 15 and so now we're playing damage control now we're working on their problems when we could have empowered them to be leaders to work on other people's problems and so I realized as a youth pastor hold on I'm doing everything backwards I'm getting all these people that I'm like dude you first of all I was 19 at this point and I got 35 year olds that are crying at the altar I'm like yeah I just got out of high school I really can you go to a married couple to figure out the problem with your kids I really don't know I'm like I'm still a problem to my parents so I can't help you buddy and so it was I was working backwards and I was like no no no we can be on the defensive as a youth ministry oh one day one day they will when they get out of high school that's a lie straight from the enemy because the devil is not waiting for them get out of high school at 13 years old the government could take them and change their body forever so why is the church taking longer I gotta I gotta cry to I'm passionate about this so I sometimes I step on a little toes I make sure to put on my Jordan so when I do step on the toes it's nice and firm and so it doesn't my foot doesn't slip or anything and so we need to pour into the youth more we need to believe and take a risk I this is what I tell myself this is what I told God God I'd rather be a fool for believing in a teenager before it was their time than be a fool that regressed or did my decision for not believing them and the world took them but you're gonna be a fool either way my pastor which is pastor Vlad my father his pastor Vasili the one that stood up he's my he's my dad trust me people laughed at him when he took 14 year old 15 year old Vlad and pastor Vlad pastor Ilya that spoke zero English just only Coca-Cola high and bye and all they did was they liked girls and stole bikes okay he was he looked like a fool for believing in them but you know it takes a great mind and a mature spiritual maturity to see greatness before it's in there it takes a great mind to look in a teenager that strain out on drugs and say you're gonna preach the gospel one day I remember there was a teenager and I walked past my bad the one of the bathrooms like oof that is very unpleasant fragrance coming out of that bathroom and you know they came out and I'm like I know you didn't experience a Holy Spirit in there I'm like that's not why you're crying and so and I'm like I know they spoke weed or something like that and I'm like I look at them and I have a choice do I bash on them do I do this and I looked at them I said one day you will be preaching up here on stage one day Moses three months old I mean the only good thing Moses could do is no not poop ten times a day but for some reason Moses Moses his mother looked at Moses said this is a special baby there is a calling in this baby there is a destiny there is a calling in this I know he can't even walk right now but one day he will walk the Israelites out of Egypt I know right now he can't speak but one day he will speak to Pharaoh that's trying to kill him I know right now he can't do anything except cry but one day he will answer the cry of his generation my God believe in the youth come on someone shout youth someone shout youth and I want you to see in Genesis 39 there's another story of Joseph we all know Joseph okay and there's another Pharaoh and Joseph in the Bible he gets a dream that one day you know it's a pretty radical dream I would encourage if you got the dream Joseph God probably don't tell your family you know you probably gonna get a good slap but anyways he told his family anyways Moses Joseph in this point he's about 16 17 years old he's a teenager what does God do when giving a teenager this kind of a dream you know what I mean and so but later on in the story when Joseph is in Pharaoh's house his thing the Bible says the Lord was with Joseph so he prospered and he lived in the house of the Egyptian master when the his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success and everything he did first point I want to bring to you guys here today is to believe and speak into your youth simple message simple message I don't want to do too crazy I don't got 30 slides of five points I'm getting to that annoying team pray for me but I'm not there yet and so believe and speak into them you guys will realize this whether you guys have or not this is something I am realizing as a youth pastor majority of the time I have to see the greatness in teenagers before they ever do you have to speak it into their lives you have to plant that seed into the hearts I remember for you if you were to ask me four years ago Zach what you want to do you can ask any leader any pastor here and they said would you did you want to be a youth pastor youth pastoring was the last thing on in my life I wanted to do and I'm gonna say this not that I was rebelling against God I was a drama I played drums and so I was like God I want to be the world's best drummer you know I was always dreaming big and so I was like I want to be the world's best drummer this is drumming is my thing this and so everyone would tell me you're gonna be the pastor no no no I don't want you're gonna lead youth no no I don't want it it was the last thing that I wanted to do but people spoke people believed people would put me into places into rooms I was like why am I even here because they believed brahbers 22 verses 6 the Bible says train up a child in the way he should go and even when he is old he will not depart from it do you see what I was talking about focus when they're young so you don't have to fix them when they're old when I read that I read that thing you they say trying to know kids ministry that's like the go-to verse train up a child when he's young so he will not derail when he gets old and I read that a million times and it didn't click into me until that one time when God says focus on them he said and he pointed me to that verse he says do you want to let's just take that verse focus and all focus on them train them up when they're young so that when they get old they do not derail so if they're derailing from their when they're old people might not have trained them up when they're young so do you want to stop them from derailing with their when they're old focus on them when they're young believe in them when they're young of course there's cases where people just slip off and you can do whatever you can and it's not us that saves people Jesus saves people so we can't change their lives but of course we can train them up and raise them up in the ways of the Lord amen Joseph was given a dream and throughout his life throughout his pit throughout his prison throughout his circumstances he stuck to the dream that God gave him when he was a young boy one day he stepped into that Moses was sent down a river when he was three months old we as mature believers as pastors as youth pastors as leaders we have to be the ones to prepare our children we have to be the ones to believe in our students it might look foolish in the beginning it might look foolish in the beginning it might look like you're a fool like you what are you doing you got this great big ministry and you're gonna believe it and you're gonna hand it off into young people of course with wisdom and all this it doesn't make sense when Pastor Vlad was leading youth ministry there was 250 to 300 people here every single Wednesday night he handed off to me I grew it all the way from 250 300 all the way down to about 15 people I mean that thing the youth ministry sunk faster than that Titanic and there was no room for the board for anybody to get on I mean I was kicking beer even if they wanted to get on that board Jack he there was no room for him I mean it was when so far down it looked like a like a foolish decision in the beginning people mocked Pastor Vlad they said are you crazy he's 19 he's 18 he says he want to do youth ministry like doesn't make sense we got these people that can lead it we got these people but it takes the maturity of a Christian a believer to say I understand he can't walk all he does asleep eat and poop but one day he will lead of someone out of people out of Egypt one day I know it doesn't look like it right now I know like they're just draw on drugs there this and this and this and this but one day in chapter 3 this same Moses will lead people out of Egypt this same Moses I was crying in chapter 2 will answer the cry in chapter 3 come on somebody let's go prepare your children prepare your students so you don't have to repair them the let's youth ministry can't be to elevate just the all the young adults and all the pastors I want to preach we don't need that youth ministry's got to be a platform to champion young people if you invest in the youth now you secure your future of the church if you don't believe in your church mark this is what Pastor Vlad says if you don't believe in youth right now in 20 30 years your church will become a retirement home why because there is no room there is a platform that's too small that teenagers that got a talent that got a potential future that got a calling they had no room to step on that platform and when the time comes that you step off teenagers no longer want to be on there why because now there's damage control you've got to fix them you got to work with them you got to do this this is it's better get them burning for Jesus so they don't get into bondage get them burning for this so they don't get burnt out with church get them burning for the things of Christ so they don't let them get burning to do Friday night prayer so they're not in the club on Friday night teenagers will be passionate about something there's nothing we can do to stop that but we can't provide an outlet for that passion to come out there I mean you you guys see it on social media I mean the people with the most tiktok followers the people with the most influence they are Genziers their team I mean it's a ridiculous amount of money they make the innovations they make it's young people they're passionate they're loud but it but the problem is is the church a lot of times doesn't have an outlet doesn't have a platform to say here take this passion that God has given you and release that passion but it's no no no no I can't I I don't want to because I'm scared that's the no it will get to their head and all this kind of stuff I'm gonna tell you this teenagers catches I want you to listen to this there's one thing you can get out of this message teenagers are usually ready for the baton before you're ready to give it up they're usually ready for the baton before you're ready to give it up it tickles some people it hurts why watch I have more students leading on schedule than sometimes adults this is you need to get a team around you that's so sold out for the future and for what God wants to do with the generation that youth ministry is not their platform of course put them up to speak but it's not their time to shine and do their best prayer it's time to champion the best leaders it's I imagine what if passofly would have waited forever until he's like yeah but youth ministry is thriving right now this this is to give it up there was a time when it looked foolish but with the maturity you never buy a stock when it's up there you buy stock when it's on the bottom is there a risk 100% I am not giving you financial advice right now so do not take my financial advice don't go buying stocks but no one with the right mind buys at the top you sell at the top you buy but you buy at the bottom it takes great the the best you get the most outcome the most reward the most benefits when you believe when they're young so when they do get old you're not doing damage control but you're releasing them to go into the world win souls and make disciples amen amen my second point that I want to bring is release them Moses Moses his mother understood there's a greatness there's a there is a burning there is a calling in Moses but in order for me in order for Moses to step into this calling I need to release it I can't have it in my hands there was so many teenagers in your youth ministry that can pray phenomenally they can preach phenomenally they can do lay hands on the six on the sick amazing but if we just keep him hidden it never gets activated if we don't give him a platform and opportunity to release this passion this gift this calling that they have in their life it will lie dormant and I want you to see this Moses his mother released Moses because she understood there's a Pharaoh that is looking for babies catch this it came to me last time if you keep this gift this anointing this calling hidden for far too long there will be a Pharaoh of culture that will come and steal it there will there is a Pharaoh look at what's look what's happening in Washington the bill that's just passed that's not just a bill that is a Pharaoh that's after babies that is a Pharaoh that's saying these 13 year olds got a future these 13 year olds 15 year olds they got a calling God wants to use them what can I do let me take them from their families so if we hide them for far too long and let us shine but don't lift up people underneath us there will come a day where they're like I want to burn for God but it's being hindered is being hindered is being hindered is being hindered and the world's like here come here come here I got a room for your passion I got a room for your talents I got a room for your gift in the church has a closed doors there will be a day where the Pharaoh of culture the Pharaoh of the evil agendas and schemes that the devil is coming will come after the babies but the best place for their gift is not to hide it it's to release it it's to release it here I know you don't feel ready night night prayer grab the mic pray I don't I all I know has prayed for food okay pray the for the food you ate today start somewhere start somewhere hey I only know how to play three key three cores okay let's find the song where there's three cores that you know and we're gonna play it on Wednesday night during you let's champion young people because there I will not allow the Pharaoh of culture to believe in the teenagers in my city more than I do I will not let the pharaoh of this culture and the evil agendas to believe in the students in tri-cities more than on hungry Jen does more than our leaders do I feel it I feel it no way no way will they with the will the people that are in witchcraft the people that are just the minds are demonically just demonize all that will they believe in young people more than the church does we serve a God that is powerful and if the devil can take their lives and do something how much more can our God do but we have to step out of fear as pastors as leaders well if I put them on the stage too early the pride might might get to them well that's why you're there to guide them what what lie is that that I'm just scared that the stage will get to them stage might be getting to you because you don't want to give it up truth is a pill easily given my not easy swallow so you have to see is this pulpit to equip and power and the thing is there's this fear that it will get to them 100% there is there is that thing that it will get to them this is why you have Moses people like Moses's mother to nurture to say here let me let me raise you up in the ways of the Lord let me teach you let me correct you let me send you down the river of discipleship let me send you down the river of mentorship of correction of weekly meetups let me send you down I believe in you but I need to send you I need to release you because there was a calling that you're gonna step into one day but if I don't release it you will never step into what would happen to the people of Israel if Moses's mother was too scared to release her own baby not only Moses would have died because Pharaoh was looking for him the people of Israel who knows this is why I tell our leaders I say guys it's not just gonna be us that leads our generation out of the hell that it's in it's gonna be these teenagers yeah I know they got a drug addition yeah I know they got a lust issue yeah I know they're in relationships they probably shouldn't be in we'll figure that out but one thing you will know is we're gonna believe in them there will be no shortage of belief and investment into our teenagers the safest place for the gifting in the calling and anointing on the teenagers life is not underneath the stand it's not hidden it's in it's in the center of God's will that's a safest place no I don't want them to be out there because they might God doesn't call us to be in the world and and then pride might get to them and the station might get to them no no no if you release it into God's hands if you're there to nurture them and and raise them up the safest place for them as teenagers is in the center of God's will there's far too many stories of of people in our community family even of ours that they literally would tell their children do not go to this crazy hunger generation church don't go I want to protect you from that church there was a demon haunting this this this this this yeah maybe we might be radical in this area but one thing we were in we were in the center of God's will and the same thing they tried to protect and hide their kids from that feral of that thing came and got them and this is not too old you I told you so or something like no no no this is to tell you teenagers need to be empowered need to be given something they need to be given purpose the Bible says to flee youthful us but pursue if all you telling a flee flee flee flee don't do the but you're not giving something to pursue it's like a stake in a shoe we who here has steak right now on you no no one has a steak if you did that would be a little bit weird but we all got shoes shoes are like sin it's everywhere and you know if you have a dog I don't have a dog I'm not gonna get a dog maybe but the dog loves to bite into a shoe because it's everywhere it's on the floor it's available to him but the moment you take a fat piece of steak and you wave it in front of the dog guess what the jaws of the dog unleashed and he says game over he's I want that steak that's exactly how it is when you believe in young people people are in drugs people on this and we're so busy don't don't don't don't don't don't and this is where they get they don't want church I just feel Christian life is born are they right for it probably not but this is what they believe I don't like this I don't like this I don't like this let's get busy championing them and giving them steak called purpose giving steak called opportunity to serve give him a steak and I promise you that all the jaws of sin will be get to unlock and they're gonna be like oh I'd rather do that for God the sin yeah it leaves a distaste in my mouth I don't like how the shoe stays I do want a steak though I do I want that give them purpose believe in them Joseph when he was in Potter's first Potter first house and his what a pot of first wife came to Joseph and says I want to sleep with you he says now Joseph was a well-bid man and handsome gotta put that and after a while his master's wife took notice of Joseph and said come to bed with me but watch this I mean if this is pot of first wife Potter first Pharaoh's a keen a pot of her Pharaoh's wife she's probably beautiful no keen not gonna get someone that's not beautiful and Joseph's probably all alone perfect opportunity to sin and get away with it yes our generation is struggling with sin with sexual immorality with with this and this and this is struggling with it perfect especially in the moment of secret of privacy I'm gonna I'm gonna fall into it but watch what what he says but he refused with me in charge he told her my master does not concern him with anything in the house everything he owns he entrusted into me into my care no one greater in this house than I am my master house withheld nothing except you from me and watch this because you are his wife how could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God because the master entrusted and gave so much responsibility to Joseph he says yes this look does look good this I am tempted with this but God has given me so much more and I will not forfeit the calling of God I will not forfeit the stake I will not forfeit this even though yes I'm used to this I will not forfeit what he's entrusted into me he's entrusted me with too much he's giving me too much responsibility he's believed in me too much and for that reason I'm gonna withhold from this I don't want this and in the face of sin Joseph flees because he was entrusted he was champion he would at a young age he was given things in Jesus name I'm gonna bring it to an end you have to believe in them before they're ready I have two students here in of cash Bella UK's you guys can come up here come on let's put our hands together for them they are both unashamed club leaders in their local high schools come on let's put our hands together for them and I want them first of all your name how old you are what school actually you have to do school they probably don't know but kind of just your life before Christ in a short capsule form and what happened when you came here and and when people started just to pour into you believe in you and how long did it take you to be coming on a shame club leader so you go ahead hold the mic and just in that form my name is Isabella Flores I'm 16 years old and my life before Christ my parents divorced when I was like three years old four years old and my mom moved from California with my dad to Washington State and through the divorce like it left like avoided my heart and like absence of my father because he didn't follow her so like never having my dad or having my dad super far away it like left the absence in my heart or something that I always longed for like a father figure and then so in 2018 I got introduced to the New Age crystals and through the crystals they so-called promised healing like protection safety and all these comforts that I've always looked for or always like wanted to seek but I didn't know where to look and that was the first thing that I saw like like a truth or whatever but that wasn't the truth because later and last year for camp I received healing and I really see the Holy Spirit through one of our leaders she prayed for me and three days in a row so two times every single day like for those three days I literally had an encounter with God and he healed me he protect me he showed me the truth and everything that the New Age and the crystals and the horoscope so all of that everything that they promised it's deceiving because I'd never found it there the only time I've ever found it was in Jesus and when I had an encounter with him and so that was June of last year and and like throughout those months I barely became an under shame leader like a month last month so it took a long time for me because I always try to run away from my calling like Zach believed in me Genesis they all believed you're gonna be an under shame leader you're gonna do something great and I was always didn't believe in myself I was like no like exactly was Zach preach today I was always running from it and I never like or I always like oh I'm not I'm not good enough or I don't deserve it like what did I even do for them to be telling me this but you don't need to like have any of that because God will give you grace and God is like the truth and everything that I try to look for I found it in him amen amen she ran you can run but you cannot hide all right Bella you can run but you cannot hide so good thank you Bella you could you could chill here for a bit actually yeah chill here for a bit cash just your life before then what God did and right now you're on a shame club leader and you're on fire for God why what happened when you encountered God and when people just believed in you all that what did that do inside of you um okay sorry so um at a time in my life so I grew up Catholic in the church and God was always like I've always heard about him but I never really had a encounter with him I didn't have any relationship with God so as I grew older I started to stray further and further and further from God and started to turn to things to my friends and my friends were in drugs they were in girls so that's what I started looking for and I started to fall into drugs and girls and then one day I had a basketball game and pastor Zach happened to be there and he told me about hunker generation youth and so I came there on the first day that I was there he had an altar call and they said if you are ready to give your life to Christ gave an amazing word said if you are ready of your life back to Christ please come up raise my hand as soon as I raised my hands and I left this room I felt lighter a burden had to be lifted off of me and ever since I started to progress but there was still always a distraction always me running away I had friends and I would always laugh and giggle with my friends while church was going because I was still scared and then one day my best friend moved to Hawaii and I wasn't really close with anybody else so it was just me and God at church and I remember the first service without him I cried because like that's that's my best friend so I don't know how I'm gonna do church without him and through him and through God God told me he would want you to use this pain to get closer to God and say I'm just gonna give it all to you then soak and run away from God so I so when he left I was able to become closer to God I was able to worship better give it all to Christ and I ended up becoming an unashamed leader and so this calling has been put upon me and yes the enemy attacks me every single day life as a leader it's not perfect people will look at me and how are you doing this how are you doing that this looks so hard I'm just a teenager like I struggle with everything everyday things that a teenager does but the difference between me and other teenagers is I have God's strength to back me up not just my life cash why are you super because I see all the chats that I'm in with you and sometimes you push your the other leaders in your in your club to just go after and they're like I am trying you're like more how much more more and even when they're like I don't got more to give and you're passionate you you can see the passion what are you passionate about I see how great my team is and sometimes they're like cash is I'm nervous I'm scared I'm doing this and doing that and I peer pressure them into it and then they get on stage and people start to break down crying because of the presence of God coming into them all that fear all the nervousness disappears and because I believed in them and because I said you got this God will just give it all to God he will take care of you they were able to save lives they were able to start a fire in a teenager that could end up who knows where but because I believed in because I see the truth that God has for them and because I continue to push them they have become to develop into people that is that would change the world truly amen thank you Bella thank you cash let's put our hands together for them it took a while for for Bella to to become an unashamed club leader and I remember I was in a different school with a different team and I get the text the first time Bella comes to unashamed clubs and she speaks first time first of all like there's no way she will speak because I'm like she's just too nervous first time she speaks there's a girl in the back of the room begins to encounter God encounter just in a classroom in a high school where darkness is everywhere but even in the darkness if you champion people and you believe in them they can bring light into their schools they can bring light into the place that are in amen amen amen amen so I hope did you guys get something I know it's kind of I hope you guys get something I pray that it touches you we're gonna go into our Q&A session right now but I just want to pray over every person right now just for you youth ministries if your youth ministries are thriving I pray God puts more and it gives more systems if they're struggling if you don't got a youth ministry I just pray well I'm gonna pray right now that just God's anointing fresh fire will begin to come over you guys father God I come before you got I lift up every pastor every youth pastor every leader every youth leader right now I lift up the churches that are represented God here in this building I pray that you begin to move with power God I begin to you I pray that you begin to raise up young people God the leaders God that will lay their lives down God to raise up teenagers God I pray God their teenagers in their house God in their garden church will begin to get on fire for you God I pray that the clubs will begin to get started in their youth ministries God I pray God that teenagers God will not just be changed but they will be radically changed God they will be encountered to the point where they should their friend circles change God I pray God they will get encountered to the point where addictions begin to change God God I pray that their taste buds begin to change God what they used to be passionate about will be changed in the name of Jesus I pray over them in the mighty name of Jesus Christ you're praying everybody said amen amen thank you guys I think we're gonna set up for Q&A right now and there might be a QR code up here so you guys oh you got yeah check as we're setting up for the Q&A right now with some of the youth leaders I just want to say is this not reminiscent of as they're talking all I can think is Jesus movement all I can think about is what God is doing in the youth and my I'm just encouraged by it I'm thinking about as us because there's many adults here in this session right now my question to you is where's the Chuck Smiths for every Lonnie Frisbee there needs to be Chuck Smiths the older generation that will be the fathers that will give place for the young people to do what they need to do to win the generation and so it's just a really phenomenal what's happening with the youth right now what was that is doing with the unashamed clubs and the teams they have and so right now do we have Zach do we have the people ready to come up on yeah come on up we won't without further ado what we're gonna do right now you guys Danny oh perfect there is a QR code here I want to ask you guys just to take a moment scan the QR code we're gonna start taking in some questions because as you can imagine all of this stuff requires a lot of day in and day out for these guys of preparation there's also a lot of things you know I know with Zach and with Sal a lot of things that they put into it behind the scenes so I just want to take this moment for you guys now to go ahead and ask some questions that you may have about what they're doing and either it can be about the heart behind it can be about structure whatever it might be so I'll give you that moment now right now as you guys are putting in questions I'm just gonna have them go real quickly well actually we already know this is faster Zach the QR is not working okay yeah I guess we can do that Danny yeah let's go ahead and we'll introduce right now go ahead and start alright what's up guys how we're doing fantastic you guys enjoying the past this conference a beautiful so my name is Sal I'm actually the director of Unashamed clubs and then these two these two one of the teams for Pascoe High School which is a public high school in this district and so yeah I've been a part of been doing Unashamed clubs since January I absolutely love it seeing these kids just step up and grow it even coming off what Zach said a lot of the times to empower your students it takes as well to get out of the same thinking that you know what the structure is gonna look like right because with these guys we all work together and then I asked them hey what are you doing like what are you doing and what can we do to make it better because I can see something but then they can have a different perspective because they're in the school so yeah being the director Unashamed clubs is tough but it's exciting at the same time and also I'm from Sydney Australia so my accent might be a bit different alright hey man hey guys you saw me earlier my name is Cassius Blaisdell I am a leader at Pascoe High as Zach said sorry Sal my name is Isabel Flores I'm also a leader at the Pascoe High School I'm also a leader at Pascoe High School no I was talking obviously Pascoe High and yeah I'm a leader in it but yeah so while you guys are well as we're getting this QR code fixed I'm just gonna ask a couple of questions and Zach or Sal or students here guys are feel free to answer how but you talk about the Unashamed clubs that you have how did that begin like just kind of give us a brief synopsis yeah yeah absolutely so it happened I've I've always just had a heart for young people sad story but I lost a loved one lost a best friend of mine when he was in middle school and had a whole life in front of him one of the best sport in sports and had a birthday with him the next next day he he was gone he took his life and I began to think if my best friend that I hung out with I didn't even know that he was struggling how many more students are in high schools and middle schools are struggling and they have a whole life in front of them and so I knew from that moment there needs to be something in schools it happened years later where God just went when I switched into youth ministry student ministry for middle schoolers high schoolers I know other people got different things but for me it was like I need to focus on middle school high schoolers and God just put on my heart you need to focus and go to not wait for the fish to jump into your boat and walk in you know it's like asking a criminal to walk into police station probably not gonna happen I realized we need to go to them we need to do what people are not doing and we need to reach them where where they are at because there's statistic I think Barna says about 35 to 45 percent of US teams would come to church if someone invited them so half of their friends would come to church if you wouldn't invite them so I figured what's the best way then go into them and I tell our students this I'm a youth pastor of 150 200 teenagers you have the opportunity in your school to be a youth pastor of 3,000 kids like you can have a bigger youth ministry me like this so I yeah I just realized a lot of kids are hurting and broken and we need to go to them they will never just step in and fall into our youth ministry they need to someone needs to go to them and bring them this Mike it keeps going in and out so you said you know that's how you guys got started what does the what is the unashamed club look like practically speaking and and like how did you guys actually get into the schools because I'm assuming there's gonna be a lot of people here asking that question and also to let you guys know the QR code has been changed so now is the time you can start asking the questions but maybe Sal you can answer this more logistically how did you guys actually even get into the school so firstly to get into the school unit of volunteer form each district across America actually probably across the world has a volunteer form to get into schools because any parent can volunteer right so you sign your volunteer form that way you're clear with your district you're clear with your city and they do a small background check but it's so they can say okay this person is legally able to come into our school with no issues and then after that it comes down to the students even if you have one student going into their high school they can start a club all they got to do is go up to their teacher or someone in their school office and say hey I want to start a lunchtime club and then the teachers ask okay what is it for us when we first do unashamed we say it's a safe space it's a safe space that's faith-based so space a safe space that's faith-based right and they're like okay that's what does that even mean right so they don't even know what they're talking about but because the teachers in their schools that kind of just want to just okay yes no just like yeah I just want to have a place for my friends and then we invite a volunteer that has signed the form to come and speak every now and then and so that's that's how the school solidified now it's up to the students to always find a teacher and the classroom and the students go into their schools find a teacher classroom and then we can come in we sign into we sign into the school office saying hey I'm here we give them a smile say how are you have a small conversation become their friend and then go into the schools and we make we ask our students to communicate what's the yes we can do in your school and what's the note some schools two schools only allow one church leader and that no one school only allows one church leader and then two schools only allowed us to go straight to the classroom and we can't talk to any students on the way to the classroom but then two other schools allows us to just come in and invite kids to use the invite kids to unashamed club and so each school looks different it's just your you have high communication with your students to know okay what can we do in your school from your teachers and then you make sure you guys are covered legally through the school districts and volunteer form so you can be there and then they will never ever kick you out once the students started I would add to that so if there is a club already in your school want any club at least one you can protect it by the law you can start a club they can't tell you know if there is no club absolutely like the school is like it's either you allow one or you allow none that's basically so if there's one you can start they're like no I don't like your club your know their your purpose I don't want you well I mean you have this one so you can have ours they legally have to allow you the best thing is do if you have a youth ministry and you got five ten fifteen twenty go get the amount of kid the kids that the most kids go to a certain school start with that one because you know it's better you can start with one but it's better when you get a group of people together say hey let's all of us and then like Sal has solidified roles president vice president secretary treasurer they're all sign things what to do and then you come together cuz you know some are shy some are bold and they come together they feed off of each other and you start usually best to start where there is most of your students and you don't just go at it right away cuz you don't force them like Sal said you want to empower them believe in them speak into them and say you will you you will do it one day I believe in you you have a chance to to really change lives of people and then let them start to be like hey do you want to do you want to and then one day they'll get that and then you solidify that and get that going but like Sal said it has to be a student led and they invite the speaker there because and know this when you want to start a club government everything is against Christianity so there will be opposition some teachers when we went in some teachers like how can you have this club how are you getting prayer into your club and then they start to talk amongst themselves so understand you will get some push back we started off with free reign like Sal said but now some of us some clubs they're like don't even talk to anybody go straight to the classroom so we take what we can obviously if they're like hey you have to go around back doors whatever is what it is we want to do whatever we can remember if you get one student from your club then normally wouldn't step into your club or a Bible club or your youth ministry you win you win just one student so doesn't need to be a massive club one day it will grow but all you need is one student to come in that normally wouldn't actually mom Sal was telling me there was Muslims that step into our club because we really push unashamed clubs and not a Bible club because there's many Bible clubs and people automatically if you're not a Bible believer or you don't care about church you would never step into a Bible club yes you know I mean like I was in high school I was a Christian I didn't go to Bible Club so I can imagine a non-Christian wouldn't go to a Bible Club so we really tried to form it like he said a safe place that's faith-based it's for everybody so everyone can come and obviously as they're there they came for the pizza or the donuts God encounters them like one time Bella was speaking God counter one girl and she didn't come for a Christian thing but you know Holy Spirit gets them anyways come on whole ghost come on so Zach you actually mentioned and I just want to highlight that for a moment you mentioned that you did get some pushback one of the questions here says what are some of the oppositions that you faced as a student this is maybe for the kids these students here as well you what are some of the oppositions that you guys have faced in the classrooms the pushbacks and how do you handle that both as the administrators of it and for the students I'd like to hear it from the students as well for Pasco High School we are very blessed our school district we're not school district but our school allows basically full reign so our leaders can come in they can come and invite students however among the students I've noticed people will come in and they'll feel something and they'll feel vulnerable and they get scared and once people start to feel fear and they start to feel vulnerable they start to get defensive so I've heard some of my friends start to mock the club start to say oh we do try to pray so there definitely is a mocking and there can definitely become just bad intentions about the club because people are scared to be vulnerable people are scared to be encountered people are scared to change so definitely a big pushback from the students at times so that can be definitely rough and with that before we ask Bella you with that pushback how does that affect you as a leader but what what do you what is the what have you done to overcome that personally it's definitely tough hearing it from your friends and these are people you hang out with you're like are you dumb like are you following God like that's definitely rough but it's a clear sign from God saying you need to distance yourself from these people these aren't who I want you to hang around the closest that I've come to God the more I've looked to him for strength and not for me because if I would have heard those things and looked to me for strength I would have broke down I would have got defensive as well and I would have started a huge argument but because because I look to God I stay calm I say yes I am trying to follow God and I go on with my day come on how did and I'm kind of putting you on the spot here but how did you learn that because I'm just thinking like when I was a teenager you know I I wouldn't have thought that I would have gotten into a whole thing but it was a very mature response so I want to know like how did you did you hear that somewhere like you hear that a youth group I don't know you tell me again it's big with my relationship with God and I still struggle with getting defensive and sad and then like the other day I had a very I had a vulnerable point in my life I messed up and I became embarrassed and I got into a huge argument and that was something that I was ashamed of in myself because I know I am better that and I know that God has made me to be better than that so I'm far from perfect but I am coming closer and closer to God each day and he is saying hey Cassius I love you I don't need you doing these things look to me don't look to yourself doesn't it seem like he's kind of a better disciple than most of us actually doing the work of Jesus and taking persecution it's crazy it's awesome I want to shift gears for a moment oh yes so actually Bella please go ahead and tell us also just something how do you what are some of the challenges you faced so one of the challenges that most excites me when I go out and to reach people and try to bring them to club and like encourage them I do want to come most of them for me it's like like right away oh I can't I'm Catholic oh I can't my mom doesn't let me because we're Catholic and then like for me before I would like any little rejection out of like be a bears like why did you reject me and then just like dip like but now like after like it's been more than once like after that first time I asked somebody the first time they told me oh I can't I'm Catholic and then I was kind of like thrown back like wait why don't you want to come because I know what I've experienced like church and youth and then what the undershames can do for you I'm like because I know what they can do for you so I'm like wait why don't why don't you want to go like and I've been on the side where my grandmother is Catholic and I would go to the Catholic Church as well so I understand like both sides but like each time like they would tell me that I would just be like okay no worries let me know like if you ever change your mind or like I'll come back to them later like next week or a couple weeks later or I would just like I would just like accept to be like okay that's cool but like if they're my friends and they say that I just kind of keep like talking about like Jesus and stuff and then they get that curiosity they're like wait I didn't know that before we like what was that so and then I just talk about it more and more and then like the more you talk about Jesus and more to talk about the truth they get more curious about it and then instead of just taking that rejection and being like oh I'm never gonna talk to you about it again because you reject me that first time I just take that and like move on and just kind of plant the seeds and plant more curiosity so if they want to know more come on I feel like as I listen to cash and Bella speak I'm realizing and this just goes everything was access you give you give students an opportunity and a purpose and look what they're already doing I mean they're figuring things out that even us as adults are not even doing and it's just amazing I want to I want to point this question this next one towards Sal because someone asked how do you go to them cash mentioned that Zach you had you had gone to your youth spoke to him at a game I think Sal you can answer this question really well the question is how do you go to the students how do you connect with the students and in that regards because you know throughout the week everything is student-based how do you make a student-based ministry I think you have a perfect answer for this with that you gotta ask you gotta ask yourself why you doing this you gotta ask if am I doing this for my own glory am I doing this because I want to help young people when you truly want to help young people you truly want to raise leaders but you truly just want kids to experience Christ you become so selfless in your time and you become so selfless in your decisions that you will if you know a young person because I bet you all do you'll know young person you know they have an event throughout the week right you go to the event absolutely changes their life the fact that you're showing up at their school event first right without you just ask them how I'm here to see you what that student does now is more than likely will introduce you to their friends and then that's when you talk you just talk to them and you're not talking to them to hey I'm gonna talk to you right now so you come to youth and come build my youth ministry you're talking to them because you generally want to get to know them okay so who are you like my name is my name is such and such we're meeting for the first time and you would you get to know them you get to know who they are then you get to even know your student even more because they're shooting could be someone completely different out of youth so it's becoming okay I'm selfless for this because I want kids to speak Christian and to make better life choices right then from there okay how can I be in their life more than them coming to me right it's we go to them okay what what do you have on why have kids messaging me hey I got I got banned I got a band concert and I'm like I'm Australian I don't even know this stuff existed in schools right and then you go to you go to their events I went to a football match is one of the greatest things ever of course kids would rather go to a football match then come to youth but then the fact that you're there sitting in the crowd cheering them on then after that you'll see them jump on their bus going back to their school you get to know more of your student then their student like well that's my leader then all the kids will look at your student and be like well I don't have anyone like that showing up for me I want that too so who are they and that's it you have a full fluid conversation I guarantee you because it happens to me all the time happens to Zach probably happens to these students now these kids will be like well what are you doing this weekend I want to hang out I know the best spot we can hang out may come to church come to youth alright and not just not just that the moment their parents see you show up as their youth pastor their youth leader to their kids game done deal it shows that you generally care it's just taken off a number you generally care about their kid yeah yeah I remember one time we went football game I didn't meet Sal and Jake or someone or Julie and we went to a football game and and by the end of the football game I mean me and Sal are talking to 40 parents we're in a circle you know we're just doing youth manage yourself so I hey how are you doing barbecue or anything and we're talking to their kid to their parents and I like if we can't get the parent the kid to go we're gonna talk to parents to make sure the kid goes so it's beautiful I'm telling you I remember one kid I was sitting we're sitting on that side right there and a kid said thank you for coming on football game for sure bro and he says I've never had a friend show up to a game I was like don't make me cry but it was beautiful and I was like wow and I saw really did introduce this to our youth and because we didn't again we're youth young adults we didn't really do that much but once it came to that make the the teenagers feel like you believe in them don't just talk about it actually do it and so beautiful yeah and I just want to say even as a testimony my my younger brother-in-law had a very rough upbringing tough tough kid to try and reach and Sal actually is the one that ended up connecting with him and actually went to his hockey game and Sal John Paul does in like he's obsessed with you you know like and I've seen a transformation in my own my younger brother just simply because someone took the time to know him and be with him and he's accepted Christ he's he's serving the Lord and does he always come to church right now no but he is actually changing on the inside and Sal you've made a huge difference in his life just simply by being there and so I think that's just such a powerful thing what they're doing here and just that specific specific like intentionality that they're carrying another question and I know we're kind of cutting into time here but I think it's really important to kind of address this one is what is the actual club look like and once you go once you get there is there a speaker what does it look like so there's right now we have a week a and week B we have a build week and then a big week build week is more intimate and where the goal is to do more of a Bible study and more to check in on our students in their own school because that makes a difference as well than taking them out of school we're in their territory hey check in with them how are you how are you feeling are you okay and then build week is the students actually now they come up with the whole structure of what build week is what big week is and it's coming in we go out we invite students to come to club or nine times nine yet for about ten minutes go out invite students come to club or talk to students that you asked last time to come to club that said no you go and see them say hi to them and then come into club usually we have a icebreaker game and there's a bit of snacks being passed around and then someone comes and speak and says a word but the word is like a dagger it's not we're going around the circle it's a straight dagger straight to the point and then we do an altar call if we don't do an altar call after that there is absolutely no point in doing this right so we do an altar call and also to get kids connected so we have two QR codes we have a QR code for skids to scan scan to get connected which will which comes back to me and then I can see I can see who's who they are what's their name then we have another QR code if they want to give their life to Christ right so the both of them I get their details then I take that information and then pass it on to our leaders and sometimes to our students but that's basically the rundown of club depending on your lunchtime and how much time you have we might not play a game if we've taken too long inviting students on our second week on our big weeks we do have pizza as well because kids are hungry and even though this country is blessed and gives food in the cafeteria which is still insane to me I'm used to eating jam sandwiches I mean jam jelly jelly sandwiches sorry he's Australian forgive his English well I'm used to eating jelly sandwiches and just calling the day but no they they're hungry and they're only high schoolers only have like one one time in the day to eat so we make sure we have food food for them and so that's basically the structure very straight forward and we got to be quick we can't waste time we got to be efficient yeah so one of the questions was how do you address sin but I think you already answered that question you guys go straight for the altar call every time straight dagger no messing around after the lunchtime nine times out of ten kids you're walking to the office to leave to sign out they're walking with you talking to you asking you questions and then there that's when we have our youth has a touch card you give them to you give them to them so they can know where to come find you again if they need to talk if you don't know them that well or they just asking they keep asking you so I didn't get it or I'm struggling or okay I want to be more involved yeah and I would say this for altar call just do it like don't be shy I know it's in a high school first time we were doing it I was like anybody want to give their lives to cry I was like shaking at the knees but then once I realized one student second third four fifth six seven eight ten fifteen students I begin to weep while kids wanted they're just waiting for someone bold enough to talk about it Zach how many what was like the most that you guys have seen because I've seen videos that you guys have posted literally whole classrooms raising their hand to give their life to Jesus how many kids have you guys seen and just like one what's the most yeah we saw one was like 26 27 and it did happen right away I happen and no one raised their hand and I just again this was a moment like God I'm throwing myself off this cliff you got to come save me because of this is I'm telling preaching preaching here was easy preaching from a race to deliver Congress easy you get 30 high schoolers in a thing you're shaking at the knees and they're laughing at you didn't know when you get what your friends are cocky and they're pointing at you and you're like am I do I got something on I mean intimidating intimidating but it the most route the best reward is like I got report from Kennewick High and they were like the same kids that were laughing laughing laughing were the ones that raised their hand when the altar call was given beautiful but yeah I would say about it was 27 it was in the high school it was just it was absolutely phenomenal I was I was shocked just in tears that's amazing I want to ask you guys and then we're already over time but are you guys enjoying this right now yeah I want to ask you guys another question because you guys do sponsorship for your clubs we've got Jonathan here can you come up here can you come up for a moment I just want to Jonathan Botker he takes care of our we don't have an official role but he goes by COO I don't know what I am and CFO CEO but yeah Jonathan takes care of our sponsorships but yeah so you guys obviously you have sponsorships going on you guys are obviously even now with these undershamed clubs you're more than just having the clubs you're part of the heart and maybe before we have Jonathan answered this I want you to answer this Zach because I know me and you have actually had conversations about what is the purpose of what you're trying to do other than just have the club how are you like solidifying your stay at the schools yeah absolutely so again like the goal of what we are doing here is not to be another Christian club that is not what we want to be again I was a Christian and I avoided Christian clubs I did not want to be there I mean I went to Little Caesars every single time with the with my cousins I had a car they had money so I was like this is a trade I drive you you pay for my lunch but not a Christian we don't because there's even like other Christian clubs that they're like it's for Christians for athletes I'm like so what about the non-Christian addicts Christian athletes what about the non-Christian people that are suicidal depressed what about them so I was like Bible says go out into the world go into the darkness I was like light doesn't need more light darkness light so that we are gonna be a club that we go to be a light and so we don't want and we also want to put our foot in we want to stay for a long time we don't want to just we don't want to burn bright and then burn out and so we want to be have longevity even after this is why again we're raising up students so even when me and Sal we end up going Australia for vacation students still take this going students still run it and it multiplies like in the next two weeks two more clubs are being released two more schools in our local city it's next week next week and so what we're also doing and this is in like here in the near future we're gonna be it's gonna be a massive operation what we're gonna do is each club it not only brings the gospel in a way of preaching but we want to show love in the way of giving to our schools so we tell our students look watch what's going on in your schools what is the need of your school maybe it's coats what how amazing is it that an unashamed club comes into school and they're ready defensive as no America defensive against Christianity the wall of defense in offense drops the moment we come in we don't just say we're gonna preach the gospel but here's a hundred coats during winter here's food for the kids that don't got food and so what Jonathan is doing is he's going around he's gonna explain it but even people are wanting a partner with us to say hey we want through you guys to get food to the kids and send kids with food back home every single day and I was like how good is a Christian club doesn't only speak about the gospel but shows the gospel in a way of giving back and then it puts our foot deeper into the school system to eventually I mean this is how it works you go little by little but to get our church to get Christians around the table where decisions are made about our children to put our parents to put our church Christian Bible believing Holy Ghost filled people in the table in the talk when it comes to the direction of our education of our systems of our children we don't want to be everyone else make those decisions and then we have to suffer the consequences but the best way is not just coming in with a riot sometimes it's like that but it's also it's also no going in and giving showing love and then they're like hey you're a Christian club but but you give to our kids you take care of our kids and it softens their heart so this is what we don't want to we want to be a well-rounded club that lasts for a long time and then we want to be a tool in the hands of our school system well that's amazing and so Jonathan this question is for you and I kind of want you to answer it in two ways because the question here technically is how does sponsorship work and how do you keep your clubs afloat if you can answer it from the point of do you guys even have expense costs or anything like that but then also how are you raising funds for the things that Zach was talking about yeah no guaranteed and I think actually just recently I was reminded of why Jesus came down to this earth and I think two of the the pivotal points is grace and truth and I think pastor Zach spoke to it earlier a little bit on really why you you're focusing on the on the on the youth I'll just kind of give you a backdrop here with regards to kind of what got me compelled to come alongside Zach and and Sal and and really the group because I started back in actually end of October so kind of even before a little bit that this really blew up I have four kids under the age of four under the age of eight so for me as a father of three beautiful women and one finally got the boy in June you know praise the Lord a mission accomplished but you know as thinking about my future I hope I can you know surpass and see my my grandchildren my great-grandchildren but you never know what's going to happen in this world and what kind of things you're going to struggle or whether you'll be here for that long so I want to make sure that I plant seeds that will grow and prosper well beyond my time and I think one of the things that that Jesus gave us in him come into earth was really grace and truth and how are we actually doing that so we're not doing it like pastor sack said because this is really what brought me in the heart was when he said why are we helping and we should obviously help those in their 20s in their 30s but why not start at the beginning before they go through all that you know I had my prodigal years myself and if I and which started actually right between my junior and senior year in high school when my parents split up right and had I had someone bold enough to make it into my private school that was only 113 kids of my graduating class which was just tough I didn't go to a big school that were had a bunch of different clubs people poured into I didn't really have that but what we're doing now is sowing those seeds to see the great harvest and trying to make sure that we don't do that so kind of to answer your question I would say it's twofold one we must find generosity because generosity is not only just in this church there is plenty of businesses out there that I'm finding out more than I even thought that are willing to they're already have in their business plan their business model is to give portions out of their profits to nonprofits to organizations to some that are bold enough to even say two churches Fred Meyer currently actually gives about three hundred million dollars a year this is annually two nonprofits two churches and everywhere around around our city so if you all are going back and trying to get this started and thinking up from a monetary standpoint how am I being gonna keep this afloat like like the question asked well actually look around you come up to your front stage and ask who are the business owners here who needs to give due tax write-offs right who are the places that we can reach out to local businesses national businesses that are willing to give money so one of the first things that I'm I started to do is really come in and start from the bottom up right reaching out to businesses local and national and asking politely and also there's there's a bit of business acumen that you must have behind it because there's a lot of people that knock on the doors but if you come with your best foot forward if you can actually you know compile a nice sponsorship request letter which is what I leverage to reach out to these companies it goes a big way and I think that the second thing and it's something that I know I kind of picked up after someone had already started I think is is follow-up that's huge it's not only because and recently actually just came into one of my one of the sermons I recently listened to that that kind of goes to the story of Elijah and Elisha it's that the questions that you ask define and decipher your destiny right so if you're not asking the right questions if we're not right right asking them in the right way in the right tonality it really can lead you one way down the road or to a whole different other road right so I think that's that's a huge part and the second second fold to this is really making sure that you have the ability to lead your people towards that generosity right towards the heart of that because that's really where we're we're we're all coming in here all of our directors our pastors our students that are leading everyone kind of plays a role has their lane but there's always a role to find in from from how do we actually keep resources going right Jesus Christ had and that been for the women that actually gave to his his ministry he wouldn't have been able to go around and do everything right he didn't necessarily work he didn't do all those things so I think that just making sure you find that people and the generosity there's a lot of it we just got to be diligent about it that's awesome and and there there's there's a so we do we get about what you said you were telling me before about a thousand to fifteen hundred and food donations a week yeah thousand so we get about a week throughout the local stores about a thousand to fifteen hundred a week from our local stores every single week from snacks to drinks they have a loaded with the Lynch and Lee ality work without professionality to go to those stores and they said no they just straight in our first face and said no and even when we came back they're like no and then he came on board and he really with professionality and how he spoke and then some of you guys can even come talk to Jonathan afterwards and ask how he writes those letters all that kind of stuff very well with wisdom and these non-Christian companies will give because a lot of them will give to a cause more than they'll give to a church they'll give to a cause and we're we of course we say we're faith-based but our cause is for young people and people will give throw money when it's there to benefit their own kids their own schools local schools and so we leverage that and we really try to work with that and mainly with local companies too much when you go into corporate it's tough we want to we're believing we're gonna get into that so that it's no longer thousands that give a hundred of thousands and millions and we believe we're gonna get to that point and it belongs to us it belongs to us in Jesus name amen amen and thank you Jonathan for coming up let's put our hands together for Jonathan I want to ask as a final question and this might be kind of a long-winded one this is why it's our last one so we can be done here by three o'clock we I want to shift gears when we spoke a lot about the unashamed club but there was a question you're asking how does your youth ministry look and what does what is the thing that what is the structure what is the it's kind of an open-ended question but you kind of get the gist yeah of course so again I started came in really quick as the youth pastor it was youth young adults always that's how it's kind of been it was more so youth but then because Sunday wasn't doing too good pastor Vlad was a fire preacher it basically became more of a lot of a young adult so when I came in at 19 years old it didn't really work not a lot of people wanted to listen to me and so I took a lot of time of trying to prove to people that they can listen to me and I realized what am I doing and so 2022 when I felt that word I felt that tug I switched completely to student ministry middle school and high school the reason why is because middle school age that bracket in their minds is the year the years psychologically they absorb and they form the most and who they are how they think everything statistically proven middle school age in church are the most underserved group where's the problem so that age group they should be poured in the most they're poured in the least so that's where I began to when I felt that call obviously I went into books I went to studying I wanted to I didn't know what student ministry was I thought student ministry was for kids for I thought it was kids own that's literally legitimately what I thought I thought you'd ministry look like this youth young adults and if that's how it looks like that's cool but for me I knew there was already divide between high school and middle school and so to add a young adults and to add babies it's just it's again I'm not just another Sunday service and I would see our teenagers come to Sunday but not to our youth service now ask him why why it was actually Frankie it's Frankie I was like why why didn't he why don't you want to come to you he was like oh it just looks like another Sunday service and I was like okay and so and then I sort of asked more and more and more and more why don't you come to you why don't you come to you and then I was like when I was preaching I see a no parent come in with their three kids to a youth service and I like or like their babies I'm like I don't think you belong in youth service I was like I you should I was like why are you coming to listen to me preach possible I preach is way better than me and so and and I realized there was a legitimate problem if I want to do a youth camp how do I do youth camp that way if I want to do realize I was running to a lot of girls and 13 year olds it was so I was running to a lot of issues so I switch the student ministry how I do it now and it's been taking off God has been moving because middle schoolers that come in and high schoolers they know this service is for them this is their service young adults when I switched I kicked out all young adults I told them within three months no you pack your bags and you got to get out like you can't come to our youth service anymore unless two things this is the only way you're out of high school and you can come to youth service you're serving and you're leading only two ways I said other than that why you here again if you're here to get poured into passive lads a better preacher than me go to Sundays go out on a date on our youth service but if you're going to be here it's it's for the kids we're believing in them and so how it runs is we open it up we switch to Sunday night the reason we switch to Sunday night is because there's no football games basketball games during on Sunday night throughout the week during the school year most of you guys know if you guys are parents of kids in school and sports it's so many practices with so many games and then like you can never find a time to get them I'm passionate but I got a football game and so I didn't want to take him from that but I also want to be here so we switch to Sunday night no games nothing no practices then they can make it and so we usually open up with praise worship we go into prayer we go into like announcements a testimony or a game we go into the preaching we go 30 to 40 minutes we don't shy away and then we go we never neglect alter call this is where students encounter I believe in three things in youth ministry the fun three F's the fun the fire and the fellowship you got to have fun you don't don't be like in the like such a no we can't have fun fun is from the devil and we're only gonna read the Bible 24 hours a day no they're teenagers you got to have some fun the camps the conferences like do a game do giveaways do prizes do the fun part of it do face pain and go crazy she makes your senior pastor doesn't see and then like my dad I told my dad was okay dad honestly if I think it's best you probably don't come to our youth services so you're probably not gonna like no it's nothing bad it's just music super loud and like kids got face pain and so he's gonna probably cast a demon out of them like dad it's just face pain and so and then the second F is you got to have the fire preach a good message take time pour into them do alter calls allow the Holy Spirit one time we were doing Super Bowl service and kids were complaining why don't we have service so we just spontaneously did a worship night and God just moved like crazy moved insanely the song we sang today in the morning pour it out that came out of a youth just worship night and so we allow we open up our altar calls and third of all is the fellowship aspect we we have our connect groups life groups whatever you guys call them Barna study says 70% of students after they leave youth after they leave youth will completely leave church it's because a lot of us all we do and not a lot of us a lot of youth ministry they just entertain entertain students and they get them why because I mean three pizza prizes you might win a longboard or something of course I'm gonna come but you get them to fall in love with youth ministry not with Jesus that's the problem and this is why you got such a high dropout rate that's 70% of youth ministries they will shrink after they leave they graduate and get out of high school they will leave church completely so we believe in no entertainment let them have fun but also empower them and then get them into connect groups into life groups so that they grow in their relationship with Christ so when they leave youth ministry they love Jesus not youth ministry and they stay and the goal is I tell our pastors and I tell our South the goal of youth ministry is in 10 15 years not to keep them in youth ministry for the rest of their life but in 10 15 years that they walk in with their husband or their wife and their children into Sunday morning church and they disciple they have a home group this is what we're here for youth ministry is a transitional ministry I believe a lot of the kids will come around because we believe in them there you go they believe in them they will come back around and youth ministry to be leaders and and to to lead and do that kind of stuff and so we have bi-weekly life groups connect groups and we one week we meet with our students next week we meet with our pastors our leaders to pour into us next week we pour into them and we have unashamed clubs that happen weekly and am I missing something nah like you said everything right but appreciate it the youth ministry youth ministry is one aspect but for what we've seen that really grows youth ministry and what really see that gets kids connected is life groups life groups are essential you're not meeting with it you're not meeting as a life group throughout the week your youth ministry will stay where it is it's a part it's happened to us in Australia it's happened to us here once we have consistent life groups grows like a charm well that's it yeah and then also unashamed clubs we actually we've gotten about 60 to 70 students from our local high schools and middle schools to come to church and to youth groups and I'm gonna end on this I believe the revival that's getting ushered in will be a campus revival and I believe the students will usher in in one of the greatest revivals mankind has ever seen and not just that remember how it's always been parents would drag their kids to church I believe something is shifting in the world in our nation though as we empower teenagers Bella is trying to invite her parents some of her parents like one of her dad their students that are believing praying over their family there is a time is coming right now where it's gonna be that kids will bring their parents to Christ man what a what a great ending Mike drop all right you guys well we've come to the end of our Q&A session can we just put our hands together for these young awesome leaders it's just amazing to see what you guys are doing you can see it all over you guys even what Pastor Bob was speaking about this morning discipleship this discipleship isn't just happening on the church level it's happening in the youth as well and so with that you guys we're gonna go ahead and release you we have our service later tonight at 6 and so we'll see you guys then God bless yeah if you want to know more about Unashamed clubs and about our youth when you exit throughout the car park and just here at the door there's a banner says Unashamed clubs and you'll see	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6sOvHJTuh0", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCDjRaFEguDYu2bYw59ZZprQ	Mohr's circle	Why are Mohr's circles used in soil mechanics?	[ "engineering geology", "Soil Mechancis" ]	2016-11-17T10:15:07	2024-02-05T15:54:35	631	V6XMY-JI8l0	So in this set of videos, we're going to be building on what we've already done with stresses and soils particularly where we're going to focus on what the stress, the interest in things the stress convention can tell us about properties within soil and then we're going to be connecting that to another type of test for deriving strength parameters and soils, the triaxial test. So imagine I wanted to understand what the stress conditions were in this sheet of plexiglass that's a fun to me. And I picked out an element, let's say a part of this plexiglass sheet, a small element of material. And I wanted to know what the vertical and horizontal stresses were acting on that small element. Well, let's just blow it up here. So in our stress convention, it might look something like this where we'd have normal forces running through the plexiglass sheet. And we also have shear stresses acting on those normal planes. Well, what I've just picked out is really an arbitrary orientation, right? So the reference plane that I've picked out here is really just vertical and horizontal. But that might not be the reference plane for maximum and minimum stresses. You know, I might be more interested in understanding what reference plane, the maximum minimum stresses were happening and that, you know, that might be in, you know, this direction or, you know, this direction. So the whole range of reference planes that we can turn this square through to try and understand what the stresses are within those different reference planes. So, but as long as I knew the normal stresses and the shear stresses acting within one reference plane, and I knew the angle that I wanted to rotate the reference plane through to get a new reference plane, then I could work up what the normal and shear stresses are acting on that new plane. And I put a link to a video which shows you the mathematics behind doing that. But essentially what pops out of those mathematics is an equation for a normal stress acting on a new reference plane. And that's equal to one whole. So what comes out of this proof is an equation for normal stress acting on a new reference plane. And that just depends on the normal stresses acting on the old reference plane, the angle through which you want to rotate the reference plane. So if it's in the vertical and horizontal direction here and I want to rotate that through by theta degrees, that's what goes into here. And then I just need to know the shear stress acting on this old reference plane. And through that information I can work out what any stress is for a given change in the angle of the reference. So the proof also spits out an equation for the shear stress acting on this new reference plane. And that's equal to this. So our shear stress again depends on a new reference plane, depends on the normal stresses acting on the old reference plane, the shear stress acting on the old reference plane and the angle of our new theta, the angle of our new reference plane. So it's just three unknowns and we can get from that the shear stress and the normal stress acting on any reference plane that we choose. And what we can do is plot two graphs where we analyse what the outcome is for a given set of normal stresses and changing the shear stress and changing this angle of rotation. So if I plotted those two equations onto two graphs, a graph of shear stress, and if I kept the normal and shear forces in one reference plane constant and all I changed was the angle, then I would get a graph that looked something like this where I would have a peak and a trough. And I could also do the same for the normal stress where I plotted the normal stress against this angle of rotation. And again I would get a similar graph. So if I took this bottom graph of normal stress and I rotated it until the vertical axis here was horizontal. So it went from a situation like this to something like this, where I now had the normal stress acting on the x-axis and the angle acting on the y-axis. Let's draw that up. With something that looked like this. And if I then plot both of these onto one axis or one set of axes, where I had my normal stress acting on the x-axis and my shear stress acting on the y-axis, what I would be able to generate would be a circle. A circle where the angle around through the circle would be equal to theta. What we're left with is what's known as a Mohr's circle of stress. And I've just moved the y-axis over here because in some mechanics we don't get negative normal stresses. All of our normal stresses are positive, they're compressive. In other engineered materials that's not the case and you do get negative normal stresses, but this is more appropriate for some mechanics. So this tells us quite a few interesting things. The first is if we go back to the two graphs here, depending on what angle of our reference frame is, we get maximum and minimum shear stresses and maximum and minimum normal stresses. So those might be quite important if we're worried about how strong our material is in shear or in normal stress. So if we want to know what the maximum and minimum are, it also tells us that at some point we get points of zero shear stress and zero normal stress. Now those points of zero shear stress also correspond to the points of maximum normal stress and that's how we define what's called the principal stress axis. So the principal stress axis are the axis where we have zero shear stress and maximum or minimum normal stress. So the axis of principal stress correspond in this diagram to these two points here where the circle intercepts the x-axis. So the Mohr's circle of stress tells us something really quite interesting is that the maximum shear stress, which is up here, is a function of the distance between these two points. You can imagine if I reduced the difference between these two points here, reduced the difference between the maximum principal stresses and let's say I reduced this down to here, what I would get is a circle that looked like this. And the maximum shear stress that that material experienced would be much less than what it originally was. So you can see that the difference between these maximum principal stresses are really quite important and that's what gives rise to shear stress within a material. Now we can label these principal stresses up as sigma 3 and sigma 1, they're given that usual notation. Sigma 2 is important when we're thinking about three dimensions. So at the moment we've only got two dimensions on this convention. If we're thinking about in the z-z direction going in and out of the board, then that's what sigma 2 is. It's called the intermediate principal stress. But in this case it's sometimes useful just to think of 2 here where the maximum and the minimum. So we only need two parameters to describe a Mohr's circle. And those two parameters are where the centre point of that circle is and what the radius of the circle is. And those two parameters are called stress invariant. It was specifically two-dimensional stress invariant. And the first one t is equal to the radius of the circle and that's equal to the maximum minus the minimum normal stressors divided by 2. And then the other, the centre point of the circle s is equal to the average stress. So I should point out that actually what we're talking about in all of these situations is effective stress. So that's what we're interested in when we're thinking about soils. So all of this is actually effective stress or sigma prime.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6XMY-JI8l0", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

CHAPTER XXV. LONE ON THE LAND AND HOMELESS ON THE WATER. Paul lived on in Corinth for many days after Galio had driven the Jews from his judgment seat. He worked there through all the blazing summer when the hills beyond the gulf shimmered in a blue haze. He saw the men and women go out to gather the grapes from the vineyards on the hillside to reap the yellow harvest of the plain, and to garner the olives and citrons from the groves of the Isthmus. He stayed on through the winter when the snow-covered mountains of Hellas were outlined in white against the gray sky, till spring came again and all the plain was gleaming with yellow, red, and blue anemones, and the black oxen dragged the wooden plows through the brown soil to break it up for the sowing. Through all that time, the more he thought about Galio's judgment that he, Paul, the Jew, and Roman citizen, had the right to preach as he would and where he would in the Roman Empire, the greater seemed the meaning of the decision. For it meant that, so long as he did not teach men to rebel against the power of the Emperor Claudius, Paul could carry his adventure into Rome itself. Priscilla, whose name suggests that she was a Roman lady of high standing, and Aquila, her Jewish husband, would fill Paul's mind with their remembrances of the greatness of Rome, the queen of cities, the mistress of the world, set upon her seven hills by the yellow tiber. The thought of Rome never left Paul's mind from that time onward. Paul had now drawn together in Corinth men and women, with their sons and daughters, into a house church. Among his friends who worshipped together with him were Titius Justice, the Roman, and Crispus, Erastus, a great man who was treasurer of the city of Corinth, and Achaus, Fortunatus, Gaius, and Chloe with her household. It may even be that Sosthenes, who had been his enemy in dragging him before Galio, the new leader of the synagogue, had joined him. For a few years later, at the beginning of his first letter to the Christians at Corinth, Paul says that a Sosthenes from Corinth was actually with him when he wrote it. Paul now felt that, having as a wise master builder laid firm foundations at Corinth, he must go forward with his work in other places. When the spring time came, and even before the ships hoisted their brown sails, and had begun to cross the great sea, Paul bestirred himself to go back to Antioch in Syria, the place that had first sent him out on his journeys, but he went back by a route on which he had never traveled before, and he started with new companions. Aquila and Priscilla decided to cross with him over the Aegean Sea to Ephesus. To these Roman travelers this did not seem, as it does to us, like sailing from Europe to Asia, for Ephesus was almost as Greek as Corinth, and it seemed nearer to Athens than did many inland cities among the hills of Greece itself. All the shores and islands of the Aegean were one to the Greek. All the harbors of Greece except one look out over the Aegean Sea, so that really Troas, Ephesus and Smyrna were like cousins to Athens and Philippi and Thessalonica. Paul, with Aquila and Priscilla, having said along good-bye in justice's house, gathered their goods and set off down the road under the shadow of the acro-corrent hill to Sincrea. Paul's luggage was always light, his cloak and staff, his wallet for food, and perhaps a few rolls of manuscript tucked into his tunic. Aquila and Priscilla would have their tools, and some rolls of goat's hair and camel hair canvas and rope for tent-making. They would stay a night at the house of Phoebe at Sincrea, for Paul says that she often tended him. Taking their passage next dawn on a sailing ship for Ephesus, they saw the hills of Greece slip past them, and the boat nosed her way out past the island of Salamis toward the open sea. With no compass to steer by and sailing in a sea of rocky islands, and especially so early in the spring, the ship would be bound to look for anchorage under the lee of an island before sundown each day, and hoist sail at dawn to make the most of each day's light. So for day after day they sailed, till about the sixth day they would sight the island of Salamis, and in an hour or so, with sails furled and sweeps out, were threading the winding channel of the river Kastor and the canal toward the harbor of Ephesus. Swinging round under the lee of the fortified hill that guarded the port, they found themselves in a landlocked harbor busy with all the life of spring. Paul went ashore, and from the stone pier walked up the portway that ran straight as a dart between its marble pillars from the harbor to the heart of the city. There the theater of Ephesus, cut out of the mountainside, and the busy marketplace faced him. As he went round by the theater, through the magnesium gate, he saw on the plain, within groves of trees, that seventh wonder of the world, the temple of Artemis of the Ephesians, rising all one glory of golden carving and white marble, with cool shadows where the worshippers went in under the great roof to lay their gifts on the altars. Turning back he went with Priscilla and Aquila to the quarter of the city where the Jews lived. On the Sabbath he walked with them to a building where no images of gods could be found, where, indeed, the only carving was of a bunch of grapes and vine leaves over the entrance. He entered the cool darkness of the synagogue and spoke with the people, as he was wont to do, of the coming at long last of the promised prince, the messiah. They leaned forward as he spoke and drank in his words eagerly. His good news seems too wonderful to be true, if what Paul said was true, all ought to hear it. If false his mouth ought to be stopped, they wished to know more. Say with us and tell us more, they pleaded. No, replied Paul, I must hasten to the feast at Jerusalem. I will come again to you, if God wills. The pilgrims' ships were now hasting on their voyages from all parts of the Great Sea to Caesarea, which was used as a port for travellers to and from Jerusalem. So Paul went down to the port way again to the harbour, and saying farewell to Aquila and Priscilla and to his newfound friends in Ephesus. He went aboard a ship which swept down to the open sea for the long sail of over six hundred miles. In those times, without the mariners' compass, sea captains did not like to lose sight of land, and especially in those early spring days in the Aegean Sea, when storms might leap upon them from the north and the clouds would hide the sun. So the ship in which Paul sailed would hug the coast, leaving Patmos to starboard, running past Miletus and through the strait between Caes and the gulf where Halacarnassus lay. They would surely run into the great harbour at Rhodes and then come past the mountains of Lycia, and taking courage in both hands, sail southeast past Paphos and Cyprus, where Paul had sailed with Barnabas those years gone by. The ship's deck was crowded with pilgrims with their rolled-up matbeds, their staves and cloaks, their water-bottles and wallets stuffed with raisins and cheese and flat bread. Great men were there taking their last long journey to the city on its hills, and boys who would remind Paul of the day when he had started with his father on his first pilgrimage to Jerusalem. At last the towers of Caesarea and the sturdy, sickle-shaped breakwater-hove insight. The great sail was furrowed and the sweeps put out to row the ship into the harbour. Once ashore Paul lost no time in joining the throngs of pilgrims who strode out past the stadium and theatre of Caesarea, and up the Roman road which breasted the low hills and climbed the Judean heights. Then the golden pinnacles of the temple broke the skyline. Paul's sandals again trod the pavements of the city where he had trained at the feet of Gamaliel, that marvellous brain which now had proclaimed the good news of the risen Christ in a score of cities from Antioch to Corinth, across a thousand miles of the Roman Empire. Paul joined with his friends in the Passover feast, but the narrowness of the Christian brethren in Jerusalem jarred terribly on his spirit. Even now they could not all see that Christ had come with a message for all men and all nations, a salvation that broke through the myriad details of the law to that flaming higher law of love which was freedom indeed. Paul turned his back on Jerusalem and sped northward to Antioch, city by sea from Caesarea to Seleucia. It must have refreshed him to meet again at Antioch the old friends who had sent him out to run his great adventurous course across the seas and in the cities of the Roman Empire. They too would sit around him, Black Simeon, Lucius from Cyrene, Maneon and the others, with eyes shining with alternate joy and sadness as he told the great story of his adventures and those of Silas and Timothy. Now they listened to the very tale of the call to Macedonia, the beating and the prison in Philippi, and then the earthquake and the coming of the Roman praetors to take them by the hand and beg them to leave, the long tramp over the Ignatian Way, with the riot in Thessalonica and the threatenings at Berea, the sailing to Athens where the learned philosophers jeered, though Dionysius and Demaris stayed to listen and to worship, and then the great days in Corinth. Surely the Antiochian brethren could not help smiling as they heard how Sostanese, who had dragged Paul before Galio, was himself beaten by the people. Yet they would love still more to hear Paul say that Sostanese himself had, after all, entered the Way of Salvation. The mother church at Antioch had sent Paul out on two great missionary journeys, each stranger and more wonderful than they had imagined in their wildest dreams. There had been built, through the splendid quest of Paul and his companions, outposts of the faith, churches garrisoned by brave Christians who held the line in the great strategic centers halfway across the Roman Empire. From Antioch the line now stretched across the Syrian mountains of Amanus, over the Cilician plain and through the Cilician gates to the cities beyond Taurus, Derby, Lystra, Iconium, Antioch and Pisidia, down to Ephesus, and across the helispont to Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, and even to Athens and Corinth. The hearts of the friends of Paul at Antioch would burn within them as they listened to the story and looked into the brown face of their dauntless pioneer. He would be sure to share with them his plans for the future. Of these we know that he had too on which his heart was at this time specially set. He was afraid that the churches in cities across the Empire might grow narrow and be simply interested in their own little affairs. So his first plan was to give them a work to do for other people far away from themselves. He meant to set them all to collect money for the help of the poor who were in Jerusalem. This would do great good to the churches who gave the money, by widening their outlook, giving them a more imperial vision, and the feeling that they belonged to a great church which embraced all who held the faith in the unity of the Spirit. It would also greatly stir the hearts of the people in Jerusalem, who were in danger of feeling that the far-off churches were hardly truly Christian, to receive a gift from those in the far-flung battle line of Paul's missionary adventure. That was the first plan in the far-seeing brain of Paul, who was a statesman, a wise master-builder, as well as a heroic pioneer. Another great ambition of Paul at this time, one that he knew might cost him his life, as indeed it did, was to carry his Gospel into the very heart of the Roman Empire, that is, to occupy the very center of the world of his day, Rome. To bring into being a church that felt itself to be one throughout the whole empire, and with a center at the capital of the empire itself, that was the daring, the tremendous scheme of the wise and undaunted master-builder. It was now summer. Paul wished to carry out part of his first plan before winter set in, and at the same time to fulfill his promise to his friends at Ephesus. He therefore left Antioch, and went out once more across the Orontes, with his feet on the open road and his face toward the mountain heights. Simeon and some of the others would be sure to go out the first miles of the road with him. But as the men of Antioch waved their farewells to Paul, and took their last look at the sturdy figure as he rode his ass along the paved way, they would not know that they would never look on him again. From dawn to dark he rode, leaving the great Mount Sulpius behind him, passing now the shore of a lovely lake and there a stream running down from the Amonus Mountains. He would talk by the wayside with the leaders of the camel caravans that swung along the great road, up the now deepening gorges of the mountains, and through the dark shadows of the Syrian gates, the paths that led into his own native Sulisian plain. Along the great road, it was the ancient road down which Alexander the Great himself had come with his armies, Paul traveled till he rode across that bridge from which as a boy he had watched the boats go down to the harbor of Tarsus. Here and among the other churches of the plains, he spoke to the Christian folk, strengthening their courage and helping them to meet the arguments of their enemies. He went along the old streets down which he had run as a boy to school and would see the booth where he had sat at the loom and had thrust his first needles through the goat's hair tent canvas. Then Paul turned his back on Tarsus and went out northward across the plain to the Taurus Mountains. As the traveller rested the ass at the foothills and gazed back down the road to the roofs and orchards of Tarsus and saw the silver ribbon of the river curving down to the harbor, he took his last look at that no-mean city whose chief glory after all is not that Alexander the Great bathed in its river, or that Antony entertained Cleopatra in its palace, or that Athena Doris taught in its university, but that Paul himself was born within its walls. So Paul passed forever from that plain up the Cilician Pass, where the tinkle of the camel bells and the music of the mountain stream filled the gray gorges. Paul climbed up and on by the Roman post road till he passed through the shadow of the Cilician Gates, out on to the high table-land of Cappadocia. He came out on to the dry road on which the summer sun shimmered, and the very camels were glad to get out of the rays of the noonday under the shelter of a wayside inn. He reached Derby, going in by the gate through which some three years earlier he and Silas had entered. Here as everywhere on this journey he told the Christian folk of the needs of the poor of the church in Jerusalem, and they promised their gifts. So he passed from Derby at dawn, when the sun threw the long shadow of the mountain of black rock along the path that he was to follow up the low hills. Through the day he walked till he reached the bridge near which the oxen quenched their thirst at sunset in the shallow stream that ran over its bed round the Acrolistra. At Listra we can well believe Grandmother Lois and her daughter Eunice would want to know all the adventures that had fallen to their boy, Timothy. They would be proud to hear how he helped Paul, carrying his cloak, writing his letters, and bearing them to far-off cities, facing the scourge and the rods, and the peril of sea and land for Paul's sake and for the gospel. Starting from Listra, perhaps before dawn, to get as much journeying as possible done before the mid-summer sun was high in the heavens, Paul took the caravan road over the low ridge of hill-country, and down to where the gushing river from the mountain watered the orchards and cleansed the homes of Iconium. The orchard farmers of Iconium would be busy scaring the birds from the growing fruit in the days when Paul cheered the church there with stories of the wonderful victories their Lord had won in the cities of east and west. So he passed on his unresting travel, and though the gray was now beginning to tinge Paul's beard and his hair, and the fiery sun made journeying a toil, and though friends desired him to stay and warned him how the brigands of the Pasidian mountains lay and wait ahead, Paul never stayed his course. The fire of his passion for the Christ whom he had met on that blazing day on the road to Damascus so many years ago burned on him always. Let no man think that sudden in a minute all is accomplished and the work is done. Though with thine earliest dawn thou shouldst begin it, scarce were it ended in thy setting sun. No could, never at even, pillowed on a pleasure, sleep with the wings of aspiration furled. So with staff and water-bottle and mat-bed, and with his satchel stuffed with fruits and cheese and bread, he got out on to the road again, till he once more joined in the new military Roman road that led him to Pasidian Antioch, where the aqueduct brought the water from the mountains in whose gorgeous the robbers hid. All's friends there would remember how Barnabas and he had first come to them from the fever-stricken Pamphylian plain five years before, and they would be full of joy at seeing him now for the third, although it was the last, visit among them. We do not know what he said to them, but he would be likely to say things as he was leaving them, like those great words that he wrote to these churches of Galatia later on. Brothers, you were called to be free. Only do not make your freedom an opening for the flesh, but serve one another in love. For the entire law is summed up in one word. You must love your neighbor as yourself, whereas if you snap at each other and pray upon each other, take care in case you destroy one another. I mean, lead the life of the spirit, then you will never satisfy the passions of the flesh. The harvest of the spirit is love, joy, peace, good temper, kindness, generosity, fidelity, gentleness, self-control. Make no mistake, a man will reap just what he sows. He who sows for his flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, and he who sows for the spirit will reap life eternal from the spirit. Never let us grow tired of doing what is right, for if we do not faint we shall reap our harvest at the proper season. Paul's friends would go with him through the western gate with the dawn at their backs, as he set out on the last great part and in some ways the most dangerous part of this journey. At the beginning his road lay on the track that Timothy and Silas had trodden with him three years earlier. He was on the great Roman road. Down from the northeast and across this Roman road came the trade road, along which the camels brought the fruits and silks of the plateau to Ephesus or the Aegean coast. Paul was going to Ephesus, but he did not take this safer caravan route with its regular ends and companionship. He struck ahead on the hillier and more dangerous road, where fewer men went, and he traveled straight for Ephesus. Up and down the hills and dales of Asia he passed, gradually dropping from the table land to the river valleys, crossing the streams that ran from the hills to the meander river, then over the moorland to the upper waters of the case-store. Down the valleys of the case-store from Highland to Lowland, he rode, only drawing bridle for needed rest and shelter at Noontide and at night. For the autumn was drawing on, the vineyards were purple with grapes and the olives hung thick on the trees. The cries of the harvesters sounded on the hillsides, and the laughter of the maidens as they trod the grapes with their bare feet in the wine-press. At last one day, as Paul came round a curve in a valley, he felt a fresh breeze on his cheek, and saw a blue gleam on the horizon. The word of the soldiers of Greece when they saw the eucscene would leap to his lips, the lasa, the lasa, the sea, the sea. Before him like a map unrolled lay the mouth of the case-store, the shining marble temples and theater and stadium of Ephesus, and on the edge the harbor with its still masts and crowded shipping. Only that very spring he had sailed from that harbor out into the great sea, and had braved the storms of March to worship at Jerusalem at the feast. He had gone over mountain pass and plain and plateau, had seen a thousand faces lighten at his coming, and had quickened to new courage hearts that were failing in facing hard tasks. Now he had to face the battle afresh in this new city, but he did not quail or tire, yes without cheer of mother or of daughter, yes without stay of father or of son, lone on the land and homeless on the water, pass eye in patience till the work is done. His pace would quicken, and as he entered the great Smyrna gate of Ephesus he would look eagerly for the familiar faces of Aquila and Priscilla. CHAPTER XXVI The defiance of Artemis Paul when he had passed through the gateway in those great walls four miles long which surrounded Ephesus and entered the busy streets would hasten to the house where his old Corinthian friends, Priscilla and Aquila, were living. After telling them the adventures that had fallen to him by sea and land during his six-months journey, he would listen to all the story of the work in Ephesus in his absence. There came to us from Egypt, they would say, from the city of Alexandria a Jew named Apollos. He was one who believed all that John the Baptist preached on Jordan, and he had learned about Jesus and his message of the kingdom of God. This he preached here in Ephesus. He is a man of power and of deep scholarship, and he spoke in the synagogue most vehemently, explaining to the people the way of Jesus. We brought him here to our house and explained to him more clearly what the way of God means. Alexandria on the northeast coast of Africa was the greatest place of learning for the more liberal-minded Jews in Paul's day. Paul was very glad to have a powerful orator with an educated mind like Apollos to help in the work. But where is Apollos now, he would ask. He desired to go over to Greece, so the brothers here wrote a letter to the Christians in Corinth telling them to welcome Apollos and make him feel at home among them, so he has sailed across there and is helping them splendidly. He is publicly contesting with the Jews with might and main, showing them from our scriptures that Jesus is truly the Messiah. Paul immediately set to work to follow up the work that Aquila and Apollos had done in Ephesus. He went straight to the synagogue. There he spoke out fearlessly, explaining how Jesus had come to bring in the reign of God in the world. Many of the men who squatted there, fingering their beards as they listened to his glowing words, and many of the women who sat hidden behind the screen, yet were all ears to these startling new things, believed that what Paul said was true. They became disciples of the Christian way. But others disagreed and grew more and more stubborn in their views. They began to raise their voices in argument against Paul and said everything that they could against Paul's teaching. Paul made an agreement to hire a hall named, after its past or present owner, Tyrannus. So withdrawing his disciples from the synagogue, he used to teach them and all who cared to hear in the school of Tyrannus, probably during the afternoons. The business life of the cities of the east ended by middle day, so that handicraftsmen and officials, lawyers or shopkeepers, were free to attend. Timothy, Titus, and Priscilla and Aquila would also be there listening and taking down notes. The work of Paul in the quiet of that room is less thrilling to us than his adventures in prison at Philippi or before Galio in Corinth. Yet that work was one of the most fruitful and farsighted of all his acts. As Paul sat there on the summer afternoons at Ephesus, in the lecture room with his disciples grouped round him, listening and taking notes, the eyes of his mind were gazing far beyond them. He saw all that province of Asia, of which Ephesus was the glittering and splendid capital, like the palm of a hand of which the valley in which Ephesus lay was the wrist and the rivers were the fingers. There ran the fingers of the Lycus, the Meander, the Castor, the Hermas, and their tributaries, and on them the busy trading cities of Laodicea, Colossae, Philadelphia, Hierapolis, Smyrna, Sardis, and Thyatira, covering Asia, the richest province in the Roman Empire, which it was now Paul's daring plan to capture for his lord. No wonder that he wrote from Ephesus to his friends in Corinth, I have wide opportunities here for active service. He looked over that province like a general officer commanding, planning to win it for his king. The disciples who sat with him learning were the officers whom Paul was training. He planned to capture that fair province from Taranis's lecture room, and he succeeded. Timothy, Tichicus, Epaphros, and other men went out from that room and from the presence of Paul up those river valleys, aflame with enthusiasm and strong with his courage. In synagogue and marketplace, in all those cities, they declared to Jew and Greek, Roman and Asian, scholar and merchant, scribe and soldier, gymnast and gladiator the unsearchable riches of him whom Paul had brought to them. Thus it was doubtless that the Gospel reached Colossae and Laodicea, Colossians 2-1, and other cities in the Roman province of Asia where the churches had not seen Paul's face even to the time when he wrote to them from Rome the open letter we know as Ephesians. So wonderfully did Paul's splendid and daring strategy succeed in working from that room, the school of Taranis, that Luke was able to write. Paul carried on his discussions and teaching every day, perhaps from eleven to four, as a later note added to some local copy of Acts has it, in the lecture room of Taranis. This went on for two years so that all the inhabitants of Asia heard the word of the Lord. There were mysterious people among those whom Paul taught, magicians, wonder-workers, hypnotists. Some had roles of parchment and papyrus with strange drawings and signs, like the bear, the ram, the heavenly twins, the goat. They would ask your birthday and work out the star under which you were born, and then declare whether you would be shipwrecked or become a great general. They would make you gaze in a crystal ball to see things happening far away. They would make an image in wax in the shape of your enemy and then burn it or stick pins into its heart as a magic way of killing him. They would mutter spells to cast out demons and mix magic potions or burn charms in mystic fires. There were more of these magicians in Ephesus than anywhere in the world. Some were cheats and charlatans, others believed sincerely in the power of their charms. All as they came under the higher spell of the power of Christ, under Paul's teaching, would come to him and confess to him the magic spells that they used, and say that they were going to give them up. At last there were so many who used to practice magic arts and had now decided to be Christians, that all brought together the parchment rolls on which their spells and star readings were written. Placing them in a great pile they set them in a blaze and made a great bonfire of them. They reckoned up that day that two thousand pounds worth of books were burned. The crowds of people who stood around with wandering eyes as the flames leaped up, even those who before had not really listened to Paul's preaching, felt awestruck by the power of his work. One day some men sailed across the Aegean from Sincrea and landed at the harbor at Ephesus. Coming up the portway into the city they inquired where Paul lived. When they found him he was very glad to see them, for they were from the home of Chloe in Corinth, and he looked forward to having news of how his beloved people there were doing. His face, however, became very grave and a little stern when he heard that the Christians in Corinth had been quarreling among themselves, and had also fallen into just those horrible sins of unclean living that made the name of Corinth a byword all over the Roman Empire. On the second of these matters he had already heard from Corinth before, and had replied at once in a letter which has not survived. Now he sat down and dictated a second and longer letter to them. He spoke the words, and they were written on the long roll of parchment, perhaps by Sostenes or Titus or even Luke. We can imagine how, when these words were read out to the people gathered together at Corinth, their faces would flush with shame as he uprated them for their quarreling and foul living, and then glow with joy as he showed them the true ideal for their lives. Brothers, he wrote, I beg of you, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ to drop these party cries. There must be no cliques among you. You must regain your common temper and attitude. For Chloe's people inform me that you are quarreling. By quarreling I mean that each of you has his party cry. I belong to Paul, and I to Apollos, and I to Cephas, Peter, and I to Christ. Has Christ been parceled out? Was it Paul who was crucified for you? With jealousy and quarrels in your midst, are ye not behaving like ordinary men? When one cries, I belong to Paul, and another I belong to Apollos, what are you but men of the world? Who is Apollos? Who is Paul? They are simply used by God to carry his gospel, each as the Lord assigns his task. I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but it was God who made the seed grow, so neither planter nor waterer counts, but God alone who makes the seed grow. We work together in God's service. You are God's crop from his seed, God's house being built up. So you must not boast about men, for all belongs to you. Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life, death, the present and the future all belong to you, and you belong to Christ, and Christ to God. Then lest they should say that it was all very well for Paul to write so when he himself was at his ease, he explains to them that to this very hour we hunger and thirst, we are ill-clad and knocked about, we are waifs, we work hard for our living, when reviled we bless, when persecuted we put up with it, when defamed we try to conciliate, to this hour we are treated as scum of the earth, the very refuse of the world. Even apart from the fresh news as to the length to which party strife had gone in the Corinthian church, Paul was intending to answer its own questions, partly in reply to his recent letter and partly on other points, which had reached him by special messengers, probably bearing them in writing. The messengers may have included Sosthenes, a leader of the church at Corinth, whom Paul associates with himself as agreeing in the council given in his letter. He goes then, carefully over the points they had raised, mingling profound instruction in Christian principles with his censures on their shortcomings. Incidentally he shows them in one sentence what will make them all feel one, not people who can be divided and think themselves better than each other. By one spirit we have all been baptized into one body, Jews or Greeks, slaves or freemen, we have all been saturated with one spirit. Many prided themselves on their special spiritual gifts, Charismata, and used them in a selfish, egoistic way. Paul corrected this by the idea of a single body with its many different members, the eye, the hand, the foot, all working for the common good of that body as a whole. All its special functions are due to the same God, who works in and through each and all its members. But there was a yet simpler and more direct way of appeal for self-forgetful cooperation, instead of pride and competition for glory. Paul glowed with a new fire as he broke out into that wonderful praise of love which men will read and reread in all languages till speech perishes from the earth. Yet I will go on to show you a still higher path. I may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but if I have no love I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. I may prophesy, fathom all mysteries and secret lore. I may have such faith that I can move hills from their places, but if I have no love I count for nothing. I may distribute all I possess in charity. I may give up my body to be burnt. But if I have no love I make nothing of it. Love is very patient, very kind. Love knows no jealousy. Love makes no parade, gives itself no heirs. It's never rude, never selfish, never irritated, never resentful. Love is never glad when others go wrong. Love is gladdened by goodness. Always slow to expose, always eager to believe the best. Always hopeful, always patient. Thus faith and hope and love last on, these three. But the greatest of all is love. How the very being of those men and women at Corinth must have tingled as the bearer of this letter read out these words straight from their glorious author. So Paul came toward the end of his great letter and sent across the Aegean Sea from Ephesus to Corinth, his ringing challenge and command. Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Play the man! Be strong! Let all you do be done in love! Paul bent over the letter and with his own hand penned its clothes. Then it was rolled and covered with an outer case to protect it from damage and traveling. The messenger, probably his trusted Greek friend Titus, would thrust it into his tunic and go down the port way to the harbour, to carry across the water to Corinth words that will be read till the end of time. In that letter Paul said that he hoped to start on a journey around the coasts of the Aegean Sea, visiting Philippi and Thessalonica and Berea, till he came to them in Corinth itself, but a great riot occurred which threw all his plans out and hastened his journey. It came about thus. Each year, as a springtime was changing to full summer, on a certain morning in May, the streets of Ephesus began to fill with crowds of holiday-making country people who had come down on foot or by ass or camel from the river valleys of Asia. With them came merchants and shopkeepers, officials and students from the cities of Lycus and Meander and Casteur valleys, while the ships that crept into the port brought pilgrims from all along the coast and even from Greece and Macedonia across the Aegean Sea. The whole country made holiday in honour of Artemis, the goddess of wild nature, now partly Asian and partly Greek in character. The people crowded to see the chariots race round the stadium on the hill, drawn by horses frenzied by the cracking whips of the drivers and the shouts of the crowd, wrestlers, their bodies glistening with oil in the blazing sun, and boxers with iron-studded gloves on their knuckles strained and struggled. Men ran the foot races for the prize of a wreath, hungry beasts, lions from Africa and tigers from the east, were let loose on the sanded arena of the stadium to fight with gladiators standing with their short swords drawn. In the theatre actors played comic plays of Aristophanes before the hill of faces that surrounded them, the audience which crowded the seats that rose tier above tier in the vast auditorium. Paul heard the blare of trumpets and the clash and boom of cymbal and drum, and saw the multitude press out toward the magnesium gate of the city. The priests and priestesses of Artemis came in procession, with some slaves playing the music and others bearing aloft under canopies, statues of the great goddess. As these passed by, the people waved their arms and gave a shout that surged to the very skies, and Artemis, great Artemis of Ephesus! Through the streets the goddess in cymbal made her triumphal way to the theatre, where play was made in her honour. She came out again and was born forward on the shoulders of men above the shouting crowds, toward the gate by Mount Choresis, and back through the groves of green trees, above which could be seen the broad ridged roof of the wonderful temple built for her worship. As the procession drew nearer to the Artemisian, the people saw a lovely white temple. Its wide roof and portico rested on row behind row of marble pillars whose carved capitals were overlaid with gold and whose vast size was made graceful and light by their exquisite proportions. Climbing the marble steps that surrounded and raised the temple, the worshippers went barefoot out of the blaze of the sunshine, through the massive carbon doors of cypress wood, into the cool, dim quiet of the great hall of the temple with its many statues, beyond which lay the inner holy place, with its roof of golden cased cedar resting on priceless pillars of green jasper, its carven altar, its embroidered curtain behind which was concealed the goddess Artemis herself, who had fallen, they said, from heaven. She was never shown to the people a dark, roughly carved image with no beauty. Out into the city, however, Paul could see men were buying little graven or terracotta images of Artemis in her shrine, some to take back to their homes to worship, others to present as a votive offering at the Artemisian, the temple itself. For four days the great festival of Artemis was celebrated each Maytime, and then the crowds melted away, going back along a score of roads and across the sea. But all through the year, in the booths in the market place, sat men who were molding and carving and hammering. They were making the little shrines, Nayoi, of Artemis, sitting in a niche, with her lions couched by her side. Here the sculptor carved the figures in pure marble from Mount Caressus. By his side a man with agile, clever fingers molded them in clay that was put into the furnace and baked. Some of the finished terracotta shrines stood beside him, in the silver smith's guild, men sat by their tiny forges with little hammers and anvils, on which they tapped the gray silver and molded it to beautiful little images of Artemis. Many men in Ephesus made their living by these handicrafts, and sold their shrines not only in Ephesus and on the feast day, but all up the Lycus, Kastor, and Meander valleys, and at places like Sardis, Philadelphia, Pergamus, and Thyatira, Tyrapolis, Laodicea, and Colossae, for all Asia worshiped Artemis of Ephesus. A leader among these silver smith's was named Demetrius, as he saw Paul, with his helpers Aquila and Timothy and Erastus, Gaius and Aristarchus and others, spreading through Asia their new religion, which said that handmade images of gods had no power and ought not to be worshiped, Demetrius saw that his income from the shrines would fall in proportion as Paul succeeded. He did not stop to ask himself whether what Paul said was or was not true. He only saw that these new worshipers of the God whom they called Christ were growing in numbers and in power all over the city, and that men who had in the old days bought shrines of Artemis, now bought them no longer. Swiftly, one winter day, he drew the leading craftsmen together, the silver smith's, the sculptors in wood and marble and clay, perhaps in the guild of the silver smith's where he was a leading employer. When they were met together, he stood up and spoke. My men, he said, you know this trade is the source of our wealth. You also see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but almost all over Asia, this fellow Paul has drawn off a considerable number of people by his persuasions. He declares that handmade gods are not gods at all. Now the danger is not only that we shall have our trade discredited, but that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will fall into content and that she will be degraded from her majestic glory, she whom all Asia and the wide world worship. Demetrius, by thus artfully playing both on their trade interest and their pride in Ephesus as the center for Artemis worship, roused the meeting to fury against Paul. They poured out into the street, shouting in their passion of enthusiasm for Artemis and rage against the new way. Great Artemis of Ephesus, they shouted as they crowded into the street. The people leapt from their shops and houses, sailors ran up the port way from the harbor, smiths threw down their tools, boys left their games to find out the cause of the uproar. They could only discover that the worship of their goddess was threatened, so they all joined in the cry. There was a shout of, to the theater! The dust rose in the air above the many-colored moving mob that pushed and jostled and yelled its way to the theater, which was close by the marketplace. As the leaders headed the throng they caught sight of Gaius and Aristarchus of Macedonia, two of Paul's principal helpers, who had been busy spreading the faith in Asia. There are two of the ring-leaders, one would cry away with them! They rushed at Gaius and Aristarchus and dragging them by their arms and pushing them along. They surged down the street and crowded like a full flowing tide into the theater, clambering up the marble steps and over the seats till the place was alive with faces of all nations, Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Cretans, men of Asia, even Jews. Paul heard the uproar and found that his friends Gaius and Aristarchus had been dragged into the theater. Immediately he started to go to the theater himself to face the raging mob, regardless of the peril. Some of his disciples at once came round Paul and held him back. We can imagine their argument. Do not go! You are our leader. All the churches depend upon you, and you must keep yourself for the sake of us all. Besides that, what good would come if you went in among those raging beasts? The sight of you would only sting Demetrius and all his men to a wilder fury, which the excitable mob of an Ionian coast city like this would wreak on Aristarchus and Gaius as well as on you. As Paul was hesitating, messengers came running to him from some of the Asiarchs, the great officials who were the high priests for all Asia, of the worship of the Divine Majesty of Rome itself, in the persons of Emperor and the whole line of Caesars. These great Roman-spirited officers were friends of Paul and did not wish any harm to come to him. Given that Paul never cared for his own safety and fearing that he would rush into the theater and be torn to pieces, they sent to him, saying, Do not imperil your life by coming into the amphitheater. Paul at last reluctantly gave way. In the theater, den and chaos ruled. Everyone was shouting, some yelling one thing, some another. The majority had no idea why they had met. At last the Jews, fearing that the mob would turn against them as the class known to be opposed to all carving of graven images, pushed to the front Alexander, a leading Jew. He stood on the stage, beckoning with his hand to get silence, so that he could defend himself against the cries of the people. For a few seconds there was quietness. Then the mob discovered that the speaker was a Jew, and a roar broke out from them all, so that not a word that he said could be heard. Great Artemis of Ephesus! They shouted, turning a prayer into a rallying cry. Great Artemis of Ephesus! For two hours that cry echoed from the theater across the city to the harbor. At last when they were exhausted, the secretary of state of Ephesus, the ruling official who was in close touch with the proconsul from Rome, stood up, and at last got complete silence. Men of Ephesus, he began with a touch of flattery that secured their hearing. Who on earth does not know that the city of Ephesus is warden of the temple of the great Artemis and of the statue that fell from heaven? All that is beyond question. So you should keep calm and do nothing reckless. Instead of that, he continued, pointing to Gaius and Erestarchus, you have brought these men here who are guilty neither of sacrilege nor of blasphemy against our goddess. If Demetrius and his fellow tradesmen have a grievance against anybody, let both parties state their case. The assizes are held, and there are such persons as proconsuls to give judgment. Any wider claim must be settled by the legal assembly of the citizens. Indeed, he concluded, there is a danger of our being charged with a riot over today's meeting. There is not a single reason that we can give for this disorderly gathering. Now go your ways. At this the people began to pour out from the theater. Arguing, laughing, angry and ashamed by turns. When the tumult in the city had quieted down, Paul called his disciples together round him. In the quietness he talked with them about the work that lay before them in Ephesus and other cities of Asia. He had been with them now for over two years, speaking daily in the philosophy school called after Tyrannus, writing letters, sending his helpers out into other cities. Until now there were not only many churches among the cities, but there were men who could lead and carry forward the work that he had opened up. He had intended to stay till that spring, and then to sail in the late spring at Pentecost, going round by Philippi and Thessalonica to Corinth, as he had promised them in his letter. But the riot made his own work in Ephesus impossible for the time. Paul had never since his call from Tarsus stayed so long in one place as Ephesus, and in no place had the opportunity been so wonderful. But he felt the spirit of the pioneer stirring in him, the thrill that stung him on to run the full course onto his goal. It was winter, with the mountains and hills above Ephesus etched in white snow against the dark sky, and away to the west the pearly sea of islands. The great sea was not open for journeying, but venturesome sailors could run the gauntlet of the storms in short voyages from port to port up the coast. Paul, therefore, went down to the harbour and took passage in a coasting vessel. She was rode down river, then the sweeps were drawn in, and with sail hoisted she leapt out over the grey waste of waters with her bows northward. CHAPTER XXVII. As the ship clove her way northward through the wintry waves of the Aegean Sea, Paul's own heart was grey and stormy. The riot at Ephesus had broken his work for the time, work that was more to him than life. As he looked back he could see that the more wonderful his success became, the hotter was the fury against him of those who stood for the old ways, thrust out of Poseidon, Antioch, and Iconium, stoned in Lystra, beaten and imprisoned in Philippi, threatened with death in Thessalonica, scorned at Athens, dragged before the proconsul in Corinth, and now howled at by tens of thousands of Ephesians. Paul knew that he, like his master, must expect death if he was to run the straight race in defiance of all. But on this Paul the Dauntless had long made up his mind. I am ready, he said, to be slain for Christ's sake. He had shown also a score of times in face of deadly peril that what he said he was ready to do. The ship at sunset swung round the jutting headland and sailed into the great harbor of Troas. The city behind looked from its hillside over the sea. Paul again saw the Daunt come up over those immortal mountains which had looked down on the fights of Achilles and Hector and all the heroes of the Trojan Wars. There in Troas he waited for a time with some of his friends who lived there. He had thought that there he might meet one of his closest comrades Titus, the brave Greek who was on the way back from Corinth with the reply to a letter, our first Corinthians or another, that Paul had written from Ephesus and as to the effect of which he was in great anxiety. But to his disappointment Titus had not yet returned. At Troas, writes Paul, I could not rest because I found not Titus my brother, so I said good-bye and went off to Macedonia. Going aboard another ship, Paul sailed north-west across the narrow seas past Samothrace Island and once more made the harbor of Neapolis. As he looked up from the harbor toward the city of Philippi on the heights behind the Macedonian coast, he could not but remember the strange adventure of the rods, the prison, and the earthquake. We do not know what happened on this occasion when he reached Philippi. We only know that winter was still in his heart. When I reached Macedonia, he confided later to his friends in Corinth, it was trouble at every turn, wrangling all round me, fears in my own mind. Then there came to him a sight and the sound of news that wreathed his face with smiles and made his heart dance. He saw a figure coming toward him, his brave, buoyant comrade Titus, with glad news from Corinth that the people there had received his letter in a good spirit and had repented of their quarrels and their light thoughts about deeds of lust. Titus told Paul how delighted he was with the Christians at Corinth, how they had received him with great respect, and did all the things that he told them, as Paul wrote to them later on in that same spring, I am indeed proud of you. You are a perfect comfort to me. I am overflowing with delight amid all the trouble I have to bear. Titus gave me such a report of how you longed for me. How sorry you were, and how eagerly you took my part that it filled me with joy. I told Titus of my pride in you and have not been put to shame, I am glad to have full confidence in you. But there was still a cloud on the sky which needed clearing away. Some men there were who questioned Paul's authority to write to them, telling them how to behave and to live as Christians. They were largely egged on by certain interloping Judaizers from Judea, who styled themselves apostles and denied the title to Paul. Who is this Paul after all, they asked. Paul put forward in reply a claim that indeed must have made those very eminent apostles, as he calls them in irony, wints. When they came to ask whether they had ever done anything that touched the dauntless courage of Paul, he asks are these critics of his really ministers of Christ and replies, Yes, but not as much as I am, with all my labours, with all my lashes, with all my time in prison, a record longer far than theirs. I have been often at the point of death. Five times have I got forty lashes, all but one, from the Jews. Three times have I been beaten by the Romans, once pelted with stones. Three times shipwrecked, adrift at sea for a whole night and day. I have been often on my travels. I have been in danger from rivers and robbers, in danger from Jews and Gentiles, through dangers of town and desert, through dangers on the sea, through dangers among false brothers, through labour and hardship, through many a sleepless night, through hunger and thirst starving many a time, cold and ill-clad and all the rest of it. Then Paul told how the brethren at Philippi were getting together a gift for the poor at Jerusalem, and how he was asking Titus to return with this letter to Corinth and stir them up to do the same at once, for he wished a year hence to go on to Jerusalem, with delegates from Achaea, Macedonia, Asia, and Galatia bearing the gift. This was what he had been aiming at ever since he had left Jerusalem nearly three years before. While Titus was hurrying back to Corinth, Paul spent the whole of that spring and summer first in Philippi, then going along the Roman road to Thessalonica, and in the autumn he reached Berea. He was not alone now, for before Titus left his own loved Timothy had joined him in time to share in the letter Titus was to carry back. Titus probably returned from there before Paul left Ephesus. When winter came on Paul went southward from Berea, and sailing up the gulf past Berea, he landed at the port of Sincrea, and once more walked in the busy streets of Corinth. During that winter spent in Corinth the last of his mission work in Greece, Paul wrote the greatest of his epistles, that to the as yet unvisited church in Rome. Paul was proud to say, I am a Roman citizen, freeborn. Young Nero was on the throne of the empire, but he had not yet shown himself to be the blood-thirsty, boasting unnatural monster that he later became. Paul knew that it was the wonderful Pax Romana that gave him safe passage across the seas, and along those Roman roads which linked the whole empire together from Damascus to the Pillars of Hercules, and from Tarsus even to London. It was more and more burning itself in on Paul's mind that all roads lead to Rome. I must see Rome, he said, and what is more he had made up his mind to press on, beyond Rome, even into Spain. As Paul had sat through those mornings in Corinth and Ephesus, sowing and weaving to earn his own living, Aquila, at work alongside him, would talk of the greatness of Rome, and of the men and women there who had already gathered together into a Christian church. Some of them were friends of Paul, such as Epinetus, who had gone to Rome from Asia. There were in the church at Rome his kinsmen in the flesh, probably fellow Jews, Andronicus, Junius and Herodion, and young men like Rufus, with dear old women like Rufus's mother, his mother and mine, as Paul affectionately calls her. Paul wished to help all those people in Rome to glory in the greatness of their faith, and to forget in one burning flame of love for Jesus Christ and for one another everything that divided them. Through more than one winter day, then, when even the waters of the narrow gulf of Corinth were whipped to rage by the gales that tore down from the snow-covered heights to the north, Paul, in the house of his friend Gaius, dictated to young Tertius a long letter to the Romans. Tertius's reed-pin scratched and moved on the parchment as Paul, his eyes glowing with concentrated fire of brain and heart, spoke high and deep thoughts that make this letter not easy to understand when we first read it, yet thoughts that have made a difference to the world ever since. And although the letter was so lofty, Paul took up many lines of writing at the end, sending his greetings to his friends, each one by name. Probably his friend Phoebe of Sincrea carried this letter to Rome, where she now lived. But last the long winter was over, the anemones began to spring through the brown earth and the swallows to come back from Egypt. The collection that had been made in the churches all around the Aegean Sea and up on the Plateaus was being brought to one place, so that Paul and his friends could together carry the gift to Jerusalem. Paul had arranged to go by a pilgrim-ship to Jerusalem, picking up the others on the way, so that they might arrive in time for the feast. One night, however, a friend came to Gaius's house with a startling rumour. The strict Jews, who had never forgiven Paul for going over from the Pharisees to the side of Christ, and who saw in him the great enemy, had worked out a plot for killing him on the journey. They hoped, perhaps, on the great sea, to have him stabbed in the night and his body dropped overboard. Paul never flinched from danger, but death at that hour would ruin all his scheme for taking the gift to Jerusalem and going on thence to Rome. Slowly he changed his plans. He arranged with his friends to meet them in Troas in the second weekend, April, on route for Jerusalem. He himself took journey through northern Greece. His enemies were foiled. Paul celebrated the Passover with his friend Luke and a number of the others at Philippi. Then they got on board another ship at the port, Neapolis, in the following week. The winds were contrary, for it took five days to cross from Neapolis to Troas, a two days run. There they met their friends with whom they were to sail for Jerusalem. The whole group of friends was made up, in addition to Paul their leader and Luke, of Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus, who had traveled from Berea and his Macedonian friend Aristarchus, representing Thessalonica, Gaius from Derby with Timothy of Lystra, representing the churches up on the plateau of Galatia, while the province of Asia sent Titicus and Trophimus. Paul and his company stayed for a whole week at Troas. Paul having been prevented from reaching Jerusalem for the Passover, which he had now celebrated in Philippi, was determined to reach Jerusalem for Pentecost, our Witzentide. Pentecost fell that year, 57, on May 28, and, as Passover week began on April 7, it was April 19 when Paul reached Troas. He had just under six weeks in which to cover the journey down the Aegean Sea, across the Great Sea to Caesarea, and on foot to Jerusalem. He found, as the week wore on at Troas, a ship that was taking a coasting journey with cargo down the coast of Asia and round past roads to Patara, where he was sure to find a ship sailing eastward. The ship would not run into the Gulf of Ephesus, but would wait for some days at Miletus beyond the Gulf to discharge and take up cargo. This would give Paul an opportunity for saying farewell to his close friends of Ephesus. He therefore decided to go aboard that ship. Paul with his friends, on the last day of their stay in Troas, on the first day of the week, April 25, went together to a large house three stories high. Going up by the stone stairs outside the house they opened the door of a large room at the top of the building where they could, disturbed and uncrowded, hear the great leader, the fame of whose work and adventure in many lands and on the waters was known to them all. The evening waned, as the swift darkness came on servants brought little lamps, and soon the flickering lights from many wicks cast soft lights and shadows over the thoughtful faces of those who listened while Paul spoke to them. The stars came out, the night wore on, it was midnight, and still Paul, full of the glory and wonder of the story of God's power and love and holiness shown in Jesus Christ, spoke on, and still the people, lost to all thought of time, listened. A lad, Uticus, sat on the windowsill, gazing long with reverence at the daring pioneer, who stood there with glowing face and with hands gnarled with work, the hero of a hundred adventures in travel. But now midnight was past, Uticus was very tired. He drowsed and nodded and then fell fast asleep. He drooped perilously in the window. Suddenly there was the sound of a cry and sickening thud, Uticus had overbalanced and had fallen headlong from the window three stories high. He lay on the ground in the dim starlight, horribly still and white. Paul and Luke rushed down. Luke, the physician, looked for breathing or heartbeat. He was sure that the young man was dead. The others gathered round, their faces and voices, full of sorrow. Paul threw himself down and held the body close to the warmth and the breathing of his own body. Do not lament, he said. The life is still in him. Paul went upstairs again to the room where the Christians of Troas were waiting. Then long before dawn he broke bread and with the others ate it, and drank from the cup together in memory of their Lord. Paul had already two years before, when writing from Ephesus to the people at Corinth, said what was in his mind when he taught them in every place to join in this sacred meal. I passed on to you, he wrote, what I received as from the Lord himself, namely that on the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took a loaf, and after thanking God he broke it, saying, This means my body broken for you, do this in memory of me. In the same way he took the cup after supper, saying, This means the new covenant ratified in my blood, as often as you drink it, do it in memory of me. For as often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he come. Paul, when they had broken bread, continued his talk with his friends till the first faint light of dawn from beyond Mount Eda, beyond Troas, dimmed the light of the lamps. By this time the lad Uticus had recovered consciousness, though the shock still made it impossible for him to walk, but his friends were greatly relieved to be able to carry him home alive. Meantime Luke, with Aristarchus and the others, had gone down to the harbour, and had before dawn gone aboard the ship, which was obliged to make an early start to take advantage of the morning breeze from the north. When the morning came they were already out on the sea with the boughs of their ship rounding the cape on the way to Assoce, though Paul, just as he was, not waiting for sleep or rest, went out on the road in the dawning light with resolute face to join the ship of adventure which was to carry him where his enemies thronged. CHAPTER XXVIII. Paul was tired with his strain of the long night's work, and he hurried out so that he should not miss the ship at Assoce. If we may guess at his reason for wishing to go thither by land rather than by sea, it is most natural to suppose that he wanted the solitude of a long walk in which to face alone with his master all the peril that he knew lay in ambush for him in Jerusalem. So Paul footed it out through the south gate of Troas and along the street through the suburb. He would pass the beautiful buildings where hot springs of healing water gushed from the earth into the marble baths, to which in the afternoon the dandies of the city would lounge and the slaves would carry the Roman ladies. Soon Paul's feet were on the open paved road. With the sun rising above the green mountains on his left and shining upon the plain, the headland, and the gleaming sea on his right, Paul travelled swiftly through the open country. He had gone twenty miles when the roofs of the town of Assoce came in sight. Going straight to the port he found, sure enough, that his friends had already sailed into harbour. He went aboard the ship and by dawn of the next day she had cast off from the quay and was threading her way through the harbour shipping. Rounding the end of the stone pier she ran before the breeze all day, till at sundown she anchored in the port of Middleene, beyond the island of Lesbos. The harbour faced the rising sun, looking from the island across the narrow waters to the coast of Asia. By the time the light of morning had touched the hills of Lesbos, the sail was unfurled again, and the ship swept southward past the mouth of the gulf and by the dark mass of the island of Chios, which lake houched like a lion guarding the gate to Smyrna. Paul was eager to go forward to Jerusalem, and his spirit may have chafed at the need to stop each night at ports so close to one another. Luke, however, a Greek living near the shore of the Aegean sea, loved the ship and the sea, and reveled in her making a new harbour each night, for he tells us of each one as they reached it. It was still April, the early summer of the Aegean Sea. The ship stopped each evening because the wind in the Aegean at that time of year generally blows from the north from before sun rise through the day, the cool air from the mountains rushing down across the seas to fill the place of the hot air that rises from the African desert. The breeze from the north dies away as the afternoon wears on, falling to a dead calm at sunset, after which a wind from the south blows gently through the night. So again they cast anchor in the afternoon near Cape Argenum on the mainland opposite Chios. In the morning they were away before dawn across the entrance to the gulf of Ephesus and swinging under the lee of Samos. They had not passed Cape Trogilium when the wind fell again and the captain anchored his ship there, running early the next day across the gulf between Samos and the mainland. The next morning they stood across the gulf and by noon the vessel was made fast alongside one of the wharves of Miletus, where she was swiftly boarded by the porters who started to unload her cargo, keeping up a sing-song chant as they went to and fro with jars of oil and wine and loads of grain and hides. This would take some days for the unloading and to ship a new cargo. One of Paul's friends, therefore, started for Ephesus as swiftly as sail and beast could carry him. The messenger, taking advantage of the southerly breeze of the late afternoon, the imbat, could land at Pryin, climb the hills on the following morning, and drop again to the coast road, reaching Ephesus by the following afternoon. No sooner did the friends of Ephesus know that their great companion and hero was at Miletus, than they were all agogged to see him, and swiftly shod and girded themselves for the journey back with the messenger to see Paul. If they made good journeying they would reach him on the last day of April, and may have spent May first with him. They had not seen him since the great riot, when all Ephesus was filled with the shouting, Great Artemis of Ephesus! In a room they gathered round Paul, waiting to hear all that he would say, but most of all to see the loved face of the man. He talked to them. Luke sat quietly listening, perhaps writing a note quickly on a role taken from his tunic, so that he should be able to tell the very words to the people who had never seen Paul. You know quite well, Paul said, how I lived among you all the time ever since I set foot in Asia, how I served the Lord in all humility, with many a tear and many a trial, which I encountered owing to the plots of the Jews. The men would nod their heads in agreement. Then Paul continued, you know how I never shrank from letting you know anything for your good, or from teaching you alike in public and from house to house, bearing my testimony both to Jews and Greeks of repentance before God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Now here I go to Jerusalem under the binding force of the Spirit. What will befall me there I do not know. Only I know this, that in town after town the Holy Spirit testifies to me that bonds and troubles await me. Their faces would be sad at this, but would glow with admiring hero worship as they heard their leaders say just what those who knew his fearless spirit would expect. But then I set no value on my own life compared with the joy of finishing my course and carrying out the commission I received from the Lord Jesus to attest the gospel of the grace of God. I know, he said, amid a hush of awe, I know today that not one of you will ever see my face, not one of you among whom I moved as I preached the rain. I know that when I am gone fierce wolves will get in among you and they will not spare the flock, so be on the alert. Remember how for three whole years I never ceased night and day to watch over each one of you with tears, and now I entrust you to God, he is able to build you up. Their heads would not agreement again as Paul went on to say with his work-stained hands held out, you know yourselves how these hands of mine provided everything for my own needs and for my companions. Silver, gold, or clothing I never coveted. I showed you how this was the way to work hard and care for the poor, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus who said, to give is happier than to get. With these words Paul fell on his knees and poured out prayer. As he ceased, their voices broke out in lamenting. They fell on Paul's neck and kissed him fondly, sorrowing chiefly because he told them that they would never see his face again. They all went down to the harbor together. At last the captain of the ship gave the order to hoist sail. Paul tore himself away from his friends, who, grown men as they were, could hardly see him through the mist of their tears as the ship gathered way and went out on the southward trail. Await to starboard, in the light of the morning, lay Patmos, screened by lesser islands. On the port side the coast faded away into a deep, full gulf, and then shot out again in a wild riot of rock. The breeze drove the ship on till they sighted Koss Island to the starboard, and ran in under her lee, before the wind had sunk to a calm or the embot arisen to drive her back in her tracks. In the morning they were away before the gleam of the sun had flushed to life the white columns of the temple behind the little harbor of Koss. Tacking east into the gulf of Halakarnasses they swung west again round the southern cape, and threaded the channel among the islands till the great island roads loomed ahead of them, her rolling hills and rich valleys covered with the spring-green of olive trees and vines. Long before Paul sailed into the deep, safe harbor of roads the mighty brazen Colossus, which had once straddled from pier to pier across the harbor, had crashed into the sea under the shock of earthquake. Yet eye and ear were filled with the sights and sounds of roads, the glorious hills, the noble temples, the forests of masts, the cries of sailors speaking every tongue from Phoenicia to Spain, the hammering and sawing in the ship-building yards, the flitting of small boats across the harbor among the ships, and behind all on the horizon to the northwest lay the Lycian coast. From the sea the hills lifted themselves, rising past deep mysterious valleys to the high mountain ridge of the Taurus range, that caught the sun's first rays as Paul's ship next day sailed westward for Patara, the end of the ship's voyage. As the vessel made fast alongside the wharves of Patara harbor in the afternoon, Paul saw behind the port the city of Xanthus breasting the foothills of the Taurus. Paul and his friends had to change ships here, and may have gone up into the city through the gates into the colonnaded chariot way, flanked by foot-walks leading up to the theater, and beyond that to the temple of Apollo, the sun-god. But none of them would stay long, for time pressed, and a large ship that could face the longer voyage across the Great Sea, away from coast and the ports, lay waiting to sail to the Phoenician harbor of Tyre. Going aboard they took passage on her, and next day were out on the Great Sea, running southeast. Over the sea, like a dim cloud, came the distant coast of Cyprus. As it drew nearer, Paul would be able to point out to Luke, as they stood on deck, the little harbor of Paphos, away over the port bow, between those breakwaters Barnabas and he had sailed into these same seas ten years before. The next afternoon they sided the high bluff of Carmel glittering in the May sunshine, and the ship put in alongside the breakwater which made a wharf for Tyre, this island city by the coast. There the ship was to unload her cargo. They had still a margin of time before Pentecost, so they went up the narrow streets of Tyre, and searched for the Christian disciples who lived there. For a whole week they stayed there, while Paul would speak with them in the cool dimness of some room away from the glare of the summer sun, and the bustle and dust of the traffic. Do not go up to Jerusalem, said the friends at Tyre to Paul. They knew the peril that he ran, but he had set his face toward the city, with his friends who, with their splendid gift, were the living evidence of the love which should bind all Christian folk together, whether they were Jews, or Greeks, or barbarians. At last the ship was ready, the time was up, and they set sail. The Christians in Tyre, women, boys, and girls, and all, came down the streets of the town to the beach. The porters, the sailors, and passing loungers would stare as this group of men and women and children knelt down, and one with a strong eager face poured outwards of prayer. Then they said good-bye to one another, and Paul, Luke, Aristarchus, and the others went aboard. By noon the ship had covered the miles between Tyre and Ptolemaus, and had again made fast at the wharf in the sandy bay, where they all hurried ashore to greet the brothers there, and then went aboard again for the last hours of sailing. Skirting the coast past Carmel, here, hilly, there a confusion of sand dunes, fringing the lovely plain of Sharon, where the flowers were now shriveling in the sun, they sighted the brave, sickle-shaped breakwater that made the splendid artificial harbour of Caesarea, dominated by the square, strong Roman citadel. Paul had passed through Caesarea again and again, so he could lead his friends straight to the house of his friend Philip, who welcomed them all gladly to his home. There they listened to all that Philip had to tell Paul of the happenings in the homeland, how Felix, the Roman governor, had paid assassins privately to slay the high priest, and had crucified many rebels on Olivet, how the zealot Jews with a burning passion for the Jewish law were on the qui vive, and were ready to stab or stone any Jew who violated the holy temple court by allowing the foot of a foreigner to tread its marble pavements. They plotted to kill me on the ship from Corinth, Paul would tell Philip. Then Paul would remember again that those Jews who were aflame with the lust of his blood had sailed on ahead of him and were now in Jerusalem waiting for him. In their minds, too, the old words which had once beaten like hammers in Paul's own Pharisee brain now rang like a command. You shall not consent unto him, nor listen to him, neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him, but you shall surely kill him, you shall stone him with stones that he die. As they sat talking there came in a man from the hills whose eyes glowed with the look of one who saw strange tragic visions. He came in among them, and going up to Paul took hold of the girdle of his mantle and loosened it, and then took it in his own hands. Luke and Philip and Timothy and the others gazed at this man, whose name was Agabus, wondering what he would do. Agabus stooped, then twisting the girdle round his own feet and fastening it, he said, as he stood erect again, Here is the word of the Holy Spirit, so shall the Jews bind him who owns this girdle at Jerusalem and hand him over to the Gentiles. Paul was not startled. He had himself all along in this journey more and more come to believe that this would be. But it brought the peril home swiftly and with agony to his friends. How could they bear to see their hero leader taken like a criminal and perhaps beheaded? The horror of it gripped them. It filled Timothy, who had walked these hundreds of leagues by Paul's side, over the plateaus and the mountains and had faced death with him on sea and land, Luke, who would willingly have died for Paul and the others who owed all the glory and joy of their being to the new life that Paul had brought to them. Do not, do not go up to Jerusalem, they cried, and men as they were, their eyes filled with tears. Do not put your life in peril, stay here! Paul was touched to the quick. He could for a moment hardly control his own heart. Then with firm-set face he spoke to them. What do you mean, he asked, by weeping and unnerving me. Then followed the dauntless words which would soon be put to the uttermost test. I am ready, he said, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing could daunt that great heart, nor could even the love of friends turn him aside. This his friends now saw. They agreed to his going to Jerusalem at whatever cost. The will of the Lord be done, they said. The clatter of horses hoofs on the flagged street called Paul and his friends out at dawn for the canter across the rolling plain and the climb among the hills of Samaria and Judea. Guided by some of the friends from Caesarea they turned their faces to the rising sun and rode along the chariot way, passing the ends from whose courtyards the grumbling camels were striding out and skirting the empty stadium till the short tunnel of the gateway in the city wall led them out to the freshness of the open country. Through the day they travelled, climbing the hills, resting in the blazing summer noon day, and at sundown they came to the home of an old man who with glowing face welcomed the great leader Paul with his friends to his house. The old man's name was Nassan. He had been a disciple of Christ for long years, and like Barnabas he was a native of Cyprus. Next morning they said farewell to Nassan and breasted the hills again, till at last as the shadow began to fall across the brook Kidron they came out under the walls of Jerusalem. Paul found himself again in the city where he had dreamed dreams as a student. He forgot even the enemies who plotted against his life when he saw the faces of the brothers in Jerusalem light with joy as he came among them. He would be glad too to see his nephew, the son of his sister, who lived in Jerusalem. Going along the familiar streets on the following morning Paul saw the harvest thanksgiving preparations, the little sheaves of corn, the huts of branches on the rooftops recalling the old, old days when the Jews wandering across the desert from Egypt had neither harvest nor house. He entered the doorway of a house where in a large room the elders of the church in Jerusalem had already come together, with the Lord's brother James presiding. Paul courteously saluted them, then he began to tell much of the story that we have read in this book. Imagine the glory of hearing it at first hand from the man to whom these adventures had really come. Quiet, conventional, stay-at-home men as they were, the elders were transported to a new world as they leaned forward with parted lips, gin on hand, listening to this flaming torch of a man, Paul, who had sped over sea and plain, through mountain pass and robber valley, beaten and stoned and starved, slaving with his hands before dawn and declaring his glorious message till after midnight. Singing in prison, rejoicing at the hard knocks of the world, the quickener of life in a score of cities and across half the known world, the untiring Jewish traveler, the free brave Roman citizen, the blazing Greek orator, the glad slave of Christ. Then Timothy of Lystra and Gaius of Derby came forward with their gift from the churches upon the plateau of Galatia, Tichicus and Trophimus of Ephesus with the gift from Asia, and Aristarchus and Secundus from Macedonia with Sopater of Berea handed in their offering. As Paul ceased speaking and the gifts were offered, the elders broke out into thanks, glory be to God, they cried, for these wonderful works through his servant Paul. Then the glow of the wide vision faded, and Jerusalem was about them again and the church in Jerusalem, still in many of its members trying to cramp Christ within the iron hoop of a single nation's destiny. Brother, they said to him, you see how many thousands of believers there are among the Jews, all of them ardent upholders of the law. Now they have heard that you teach all Jews who live among the nations to break away from Moses and not to circumcise their children nor to follow the old customs. What is to be done, they went on, they will be sure to hear you have arrived. So do as we tell you, we have four men here under a vow, associate yourself with them, purify yourself with them, pay their expenses so that they may be free to have their heads shaved. These men had taken the Nazarite vow that they would not shave their heads till they had performed certain acts and purified themselves. If you do that, said the elders to Paul, everybody will understand that there is nothing in these stories about you, but that on the contrary, you are yourself guided by reverence for the law. As for these believers among the nations, we have already sent out through you in the letter signed by James, our decision that they must avoid food that has been offered on altars to idols, the taste of blood, flesh of animals that have been strangled, and unclean vice. Paul knew that the forms of ceremony in the temple were not the heart of worship of God, they were the ceremonies of one temple. Yet with that all-embracing sweep of his passion for winning men, Paul consented to do as the elders suggested. On the very next day he began to carry out the act of purification for himself, along with the four men. Paul went into the temple courts with the men. I wish to join these men, he said, and to pay their charges, till the vow is accomplished until they can be freed from it. Day after day, and at Paul's expense, they each offered gifts of money and oil, a ram, a lamb, and cakes. On the seventh day they would have fulfilled all the ceremonies, but that seventh day never came for Paul. With crafty eyes his enemies watched him. They had seen him walking in the streets with trophemous from Ephesus, to them a sinner of the Gentiles, a man without the law. They saw Paul go up the steps to the marble parapet where the great stone stood which said, Let no foreigner enter within the screen and enclosure surrounding the sanctuary. Whoever is taken so doing will himself be the cause that death overtaketh him. Paul crossed the line and went through the opening. His bare feet were upon the marble of the Holy Court. The hour had come. The Jews from Asia were there, possibly some of those who had plotted his death two months earlier, when Paul was starting to sail from Corinth and had been balked. They would not be foiled again. They dashed at him, gripped his mantle, and raised a cry that thrilled the heart of Pharisee and Zealot alike. To the rescue, men of Israel, help, help! Here is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against the chosen people, against the law of Moses, against this holy place. Help, help! To every quarter of the temple the cry rang out. The cry rang dashed in from all sides to join in the defense. The cry rang across the roofs to the Roman castle by the temple, where the sentinel stood like a statue on the turret of Antony's tower. He has brought Greeks inside the temple and defiled this holy place! cried the Jews from Asia, to the rescue, men of Israel, help! Up the streets of the city the cry ran like wildfire. The Jews dashed into the temple, but they would not defile the sacred place by killing him there. Out of the temple with him came the cry, dragging, pushing, shouting, waving. The whole mob surged toward the gates and into the open place without. The gates of the temple enclosure swung to with a clang and were bolted. Kill him! Kill him! cried the fanatics, some of them, the men who had cried before Pilate, as Jesus Christ stood on trial thirty years earlier. Crucify him! Crucify him! Men had yelled, Stone him, Stone him! in the hour of Stephen's death. They lifted their sticks and began to beat him furiously over the head and shoulders and back. But the sentinel on Antony's tower had already taken action. He sent downward to the commander of the garrison regiment, who wrapped out an order, and in a few minutes, with officers and men was hurrying to the spot, dashing aside the mob the company marched to the center. The cry, The soldiers are coming! was raised. The staves were dropped and silence fell. Who is he? asked the commander, Lyceus. What has he done? Some of the crowd roared one thing, some another. He could not learn the facts for the uproar. Chain him! ordered Lyceus. Two chains were clasped on his wrists. At that moment Paul left the world of freedom. He never moved for years to come without the sound of the clank of his fetters in his ear. Lead him to the citadel! ordered Lyceus. Among the front of the temple and out under the shadow of the Roman tower they moved. The Jewish mob raging and yelling behind and around. They thronged upon Paul, clutching at his robe till the soldiers had actually to carry him. Away with him! Away with the fellow from the earth! Away with him! At last the soldiers reached the steps of the citadel. They were about to lead Paul to the cells in the barracks when he turned to the commander. May I say a word to you? He asked Lyceus, speaking in Greek. You know Greek, said the astonished commander. Then you are not the Egyptian, who in days gone by raised the four thousand assassins and led them out into the desert. I am a Jew, said Paul, with quiet dignity. A native of Tarsus in Solicia, a citizen of no mean city. Pray let me speak to the people. Paul, bound as he was and bruised, stood forward on the top of the steps before the mob, and began to speak to them in Hebrew, their own tongue. Something in the presence of that undaunted figure, and in the sound of that vibrant voice which had won the hearing of men in many lands, swept over that seething mob. A deep hush came on them, like the whisper and the silence that come over a field of corn, as it sways to the breeze and then is still. Brothers and fathers, he said, listen to the defense I now make before you. When they heard him speaking in Hebrew, they were all the more quiet. So he went on, I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Solicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel in all the strictness of our ancestral law, ardent for God as you all are today. I persecuted this way of religion to the death, chaining and imprisoning both men and women, as the high priest and all the council of elders can testify. It was from them that I got letters to the brotherhood at Damascus, and then journeyed thither to bind those who had gathered there and bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment. Now as I neared Damascus on my journey, suddenly about noon a brilliant light from heaven flashed round me. I dropped to the earth and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? Who are you? I asked. He said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting. I said, what shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rise up and go into Damascus. There you shall be told about all that you are destined to do. As I could not see, owing to the dazzling glare of that light, my companions took my hand, and so I reached Damascus. Then a certain Ananias, a devout man in the law, who had a good reputation among all the Jews there, came to me and standing beside me said, Saul, my brother, regain your sight. The crowd of Jews with uplifted faces listened in silence to the wonderful story. Paul went on. The same moment I regained my sight and looked up at Ananias. Then he said, the God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, to see the just one, and to hear him speak with his own lips. For you are to be a witness for him before all men, a witness of what you have seen and heard. And now, why do you wait? Get up and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name. When I returned to Jerusalem it happened that while I was praying in the temple I fell into a trance and saw him saying to me, Make haste, leave Jerusalem quickly, for they will not accept your evidence about me. But, Lord, I said, they surely know that it was I who imprisoned and flogged those who believed in you throughout the synagogues, and that I stood and approved when the blood of your martyr Stephen was being shed, taking charge of the clothes of his murderers. But he said to me, Go, I will send you afar to the nations. At that word the silence broke into a thunder of rage. That was the root of all Paul's offence, that he had gone with his message to the nations beyond. And now he dared to blaspheme by saying that God, the God whose chosen people the Jews were, had told him to do so, and had told him in the holy temple. Away with such a creature from the earth, they yelled, He is not fit to live. They tore off their clothes in a frenzy of angry grief, and like mourners grabbed the dust of the roadway and flung it into the air. Lyceus was mystified. What made the Jews foam with such hysterical rage? They were too wild to tell him intelligibly. Paul must. Take him into the barracks, said Lyceus to his officers, examine him under the lash and report. They saluted and marched Paul away. They took him to the thrashing post and strapped him to it, so that he might not struggle. When he was thrashed and his spirit cowed, they would make him confess his crimes. Paul spoke to the officer who was standing by giving orders. Are you allowed to scourge a Roman citizen, he asked, and to scourge him without trial? The officer was aghast. Lyceus, he knew, would be degraded from his rank and severely punished if he beat a Roman citizen and word of it reached Rome. It was bad enough even to have bound him. He hurried to Lyceus and said to him, What are you going to do? This man is a Roman citizen. Lyceus rose at once and went out to where Paul stood strapped to the post. Tell me, he said, Are you a Roman citizen? Yes, replied Paul. I had to pay a large sum of money to buy my citizenship, said the wandering commander. But I was born a citizen, replied Paul with pride. He was loosed from his bonds at once and led away. In that hour the three threads of Paul's life, the Jewish, Greek, and Roman, had all stood him in good stead. The Greek when he spoke to Lyceus, the Jewish when he quelled the uproar, the Roman when he was bound. Paul lay down to sleep that night a prisoner, yet freer than all the hide-bound fanatics who had tried to take his life. But Lyceus was still puzzled as to what Paul had done to infuriate the Jews. The next morning, therefore, he sent an order down to the temple that the high priests and the Sanhedrin, the highest authority in the Jewish world, should come and meet with Paul. Lyceus, when the Sanhedrin had come together, brought Paul down and placed him in front of them. Paul looked at them with a steady gaze, entirely fearless of their anger. Brothers, he said, I have lived with a perfectly good conscience before God down to this present day. It was too much. Ananias, the high priest purple with rage, shouted to those near Paul, smite him! He cried, strike him on the mouth! Paul lost his temper and, swinging round toward the white-robed Ananias, he burst out, you whitewashed wall! God will strike you! You sit there to judge me by the law, do you? And you break the law by ordering me to be struck! What? said some of the bystanders to Paul. Would you rail at God's high priest? Brothers, said Paul, I did not know that he was high priest. At this point Paul, realizing that the Sanhedrin was made up as to one half of Sadducees who did not believe in the resurrection of man, and as to the other of Pharisees who did believe in the resurrection, shouted to them, I am a Pharisee, brothers! The son of Pharisees! It is for the hope of the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial! At once a quarrel broke out. Lyceus could make no sense of all this wrangling and clamor, the Sadducees urging Paul's death, the Pharisees forgetting in their defense of their own teaching their hatred of Paul. Scribes of the Pharisees rose up, and the court listened. We find nothing wrong about this man, said the Pharisee. Scribes, what if some spirit or angel has spoken to him? The uproar redoubled, the Sadducees stood and shouted and pressed toward Paul as though to tear him to pieces. Lyceus ordered the troops to be brought from the citadel, and they formed a bodyguard to protect Paul. The soldiers took him, driving the maddened Jews back, and led him into the barracks. But Lyceus was no wiser as to the cause of all the uproar. Paul, as he lay that night with all the future black before him, was conscious of the real presence of his Lord by him. Courage, said the presence, as you have testified to me at Jerusalem, so you must do at Rome. The Jews who saw their arch-enemy Paul snatched from under their very hand by the Roman power were determined that, even now, he should not escape. Between forty and fifty of them came together at dawn on the next day in secret. They formed a plot for an ambuscade. Standing together they took a most solemn oath that they would not taste food till they had killed Paul. They went, then, down to the temple, and gained audience with the high priests and elders. We have, they said, taken a solemn oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul. Now, you and the Sanhedrin must let the commander know that you propose to investigate this case in detail so that he may have Paul brought down to you. We will be all ready and will kill him on the way down. A young man overheard men talking about the plot. He was Paul's nephew. He hurried up to the citadel, got entrance to the barracks, and was allowed to see Paul, to whom he told the whole story. Paul called to one of the officers. Take this young man, he said, to the commander, for he has some news to give him. So the officer led Paul's nephew to Lyceus. The prisoner Paul, he said, has summoned me to ask if I would bring this young man to you, as he has something to tell you. The commander took Paul's nephew by the hand and led him aside and asked him in private, What is the news you have for me? The Jews have agreed, he answered, to ask you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin, on the plea that they propose to examine his case in detail. Now do not let them persuade you. More than forty of them are lying in ambush for him, and they have taken a solemn oath neither to eat nor to drink till they have murdered him. They are already at this moment awaiting your consent. Lyceus paused to think, then he dismissed the youth. His mind was swiftly made up. He knew the anger of Rome if a Roman citizen, even a prisoner, suffered death by murder when in the charge of a Roman official. Tell nobody, he said, that you have informed me of this. As Paul's nephew went out, Lyceus called the two officers who stood before him awaiting orders. Get ready by eight o'clock tonight, two hundred infantry with rations, to march as far as Caesarea, also seventy troopers and two hundred spearmen. CHAPTER XXXIX By the wild glare of torches seventy horses were led out from the garrison's stables, their hoofs clattered up the stone way under Antony's tower. File after file of footmen gathered there till two hundred soldiers with their broad swords and the bosses of their shields reflecting the yellow torchlight, and two hundred spearmen, together with seventy horse soldiers, stood ready for the night march out on to the Judean hills. They were a host of men to guard Paul, but the band of fierce Jews had vowed to slay him before they ate or drank, and such a vow meant that he must be prepared for a swift and violent attack. The captain of the guard knew that in any gateway cloaked and armed figures might be standing, hidden in the shadows, men who would gladly die to kill the man whom they knew to be the greatest enemy of the narrow Jewish belief. The captain knew also that to allow the Jews to slay a Roman citizen who was in his charge would bring on himself the punishment of Caesar. It was for these reasons that he made ready this guard of four hundred and seventy soldiers for Paul. Paul swung himself astride his horse. There came the sharp word of command, followed by the rattle of arms as the men moved forward through the darkness to the city wall of Jerusalem. The gates swung slowly open and the shod feet of the horses on the flagged road echoed under the vaulting of the great archway. They were out on the open road. The men who plotted to kill him were balked. They now must either waylay him in the hills or themselves die of starvation or break their vow to kill him before they fed again. As Paul felt the night air on his cheek, when they came through the gates he would pass the place where, as a young man, he had stood guarding the clothes of those who stoned Stephen. It would be strange if, in the darkness of the night, the memory of that day did not flood across Paul's thought and flush his cheek with shame, mixed with a strange joy that now he himself was among the persecuted Nazarenes. His horse breasted the hill. Surrounded by the guard of soldiers, he pressed on along the north road over the rocky shoulder of the Judean hills, bearing westward through the dark defiles. They all knew that the enemy might leap out from behind some boulder. If any ambush had been prepared, however, the plotters remained hidden, overawed by the force guarding Paul. Did the ancient spirit of the proud little tribe of Benjamin leap in him, as they passed by Gibbia, where his great namesake, King Saul, had lived? By the time the dawn came up they had outdistance all probable danger of ambuscade, for the hill country was past and the plain lay before them. But the force of soldiers went on, dropping gradually toward the plain by the Roman road. Then, crossing the valley of Agilon, by the road which ran parallel with the Mediterranean coast, they came out to the fortress and town of Antipatris, where a halt was called. Both because all serious danger of attack was gone and for the sake of greater speed in traveling, the four hundred foot soldiers turned here and marched back to the castle at Jerusalem. The seventy horse soldiers with Paul trotted forward more swiftly than before, along the northern road, with the hills of Samaria rising on their right and on their left the slopes dropping to the Mediterranean plain. At last turning west, they left the rocky hills and gained the soft land. To their left lay the shining yellow of the sand dunes and beyond the sand the glittering ripples of the Mediterranean. Cantering over the ridge they came in full sight of Caesarea, with its theater and stadium, its white marble temples and, beyond, jutting out into the Mediterranean itself, the square grim mass of the citadel. Headed by the captain of the troop, they rode straight to the house of the Roman governor. When Paul was ushered into the presence of Felix, the representative of Nero himself, the captain felt in his tunic and brought out the role on which Claudius Lysius, the chief captain at Jerusalem, had written his letter to the governor, to whom he now handed the parchment. Felix read the letter which ran, Greetings from Claudius Lysius to the most excellent governor, Felix. This man was taken by the Jews, who would have killed him, but I came with soldiers and rescued him, for I had been given to understand that he was a Roman citizen. Wishing to know what charges they brought against him, I took him before there, the Jews, counsel. I found that he was accused of breaking their law, but that he was not charged with having done anything that called for punishment by death or even imprisonment. When I was told that the Jews were lying in wait for this man, I at once sent him to you. I have also instructed his accusers to lay their case against him before you. Farewell. Felix read the letter through, and looking up, scanned with curiosity this man, who, though a Jew himself, had fired the Jews with such hatred, and who was also a citizen of Rome itself. Do what province of the empire do you belong? he asked. To the province of Cilicia, answered Paul, I will hear your case, Felix announced, when your accusers have come down from Jerusalem. Then turning to his officials, he said, keep this man in Herod's judgment hall. Paul waited and watched for five days. Then another cavalcade rode into Caesarea from Jerusalem, headed by the High Priest of Jerusalem himself, the greatest man among the Jews, and Paul's most powerful enemy. A skillful barrister named Tertulus rode with him. Paul was led into the great hall. Felix was seated there in his marble chair of judgment on a raised platform, and beneath him were his secretaries. There stood the Lictors carrying the axes of authority. Soldiers guarded the judge. The bearded High Priest in his robes sat in dignified silence. When Paul was led to his place behind a marble balustrade, Felix signaled to Tertulus to open the case for the prosecution. Tertulus, with the subtlety of the oriental orator, began his speech by attempting to flatter the judge and then to prejudice him against Paul. Most noble Felix, he began, we always and in all places live under your rule with thankfulness, for it is through you that our nation enjoys great quiet, and it is by your forethought and provision that great boons come to us. We can imagine that Felix, who was used to this kind of pleading, would wave his hand impatiently as though saying, Get to the business before us. So Tertulus hastened on. Nevertheless, in order that I may not weary you, I pray that in your clemency you will listen to a few words from us. Then turning and pointing with scornful finger to Paul, he began his attack, saying, We have found this man a pestilent fellow, a mover of rebellion among all the Jews throughout the world, and, he sneered, a ringleader in the party of the Nazarenes. He has also gone about to profane the temple, so that we took him and would have judged him according to our law, and not the chief captain Lysius come, and with great violence rested him away out of our hands. Lysius told us to come and lay our case against him before you, so that you might have the whole charge before you. Felix asked the other Jews there whether the accusations brought by Tertulus against Paul were true, and they all nodded their heads and said yes. Felix now turned to Paul and beckoned to him to speak. Paul began with an art even more skillful than that of Tertulus, by suggesting that the long experience Felix had of the Jews of Judea, and especially Jerusalem, would have taught him the lengths to which their fierce religious jealousy would carry them. I answer for myself all the more cheerfully, he began, because you have been a judge for many years over this nation. It is even now only twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship. They did not find me disputing in the temple with any man, nor raising the people into ferment, either in the synagogues or the city itself. They have no proof whatever of the charges they bring against me. But this I confess to you that I worship the God of my fathers, believing all the things which are written in the law and the prophets, sweeping his hand toward his accusers, and adding with a touch of scorn after the way that they call heresy, and I hold the same hope that they do toward God, believing that there is resurrection of the dead, and I am always most careful in these matters to avoid offense toward God and men. I have been away for many years, and came bringing gifts and offerings to my nation, when some Jews from Asia found me in the temple. I had cleansed myself and done all the acts of purification. I was with no mob nor any tumult. These men ought to have been here to bring charges if they had any against me. Either that or let those who are here, belonging to the Jewish council, say whether they found any evil in me while I stood before their council. Felix could see that the evidence against Paul was altogether too flimsy and vague to make it possible to condemn him. Accusation and denial were pitted against one another, so he deferred the case till an impartial witness like Claudius Lysius of Jerusalem should come down. He called a centurion to him and said, God, Paul, but give liberty for his friends to come to visit him. Seeing how poor the evidence was against Paul, it is possible that Felix would have found him not guilty of the charges brought against him and would have set him free. But he was not a strictly just man, and like many other governors of Roman provinces, he wished to be bribed with money before he would set prisoners free. His wife, too, was a Jewess named Drusilla, and he may have kept Paul from going free in order to please her. One day Felix and Drusilla sent for Paul to go to their house, as they wanted to hear from him more of what he believed. Passing the Roman sentry at the gate, the guard led him through the courtyard, where reflections from the sparkling water gleamed on the marble pillars to the governor's hall of audience. Before Paul, prisoner as he was, spoke boldly and with fiery eloquence and strong reasoning. He laid before Felix and Drusilla such a picture of pure, temperate strength and such a splendid ideal of manly straightness. He spoke with such awful power about the punishment of the unjust and the unclean, that it seemed as though he were the judge and Felix the man at the bar of judgment, and Felix trembled. His conscience was awakened, he shrank from the picture of himself that he saw, so he said, Go now, for this time, when I have a convenient opportunity I will call for you. For two whole years Paul was kept at Caesarea, waiting the pleasure of Felix. He would wander, guarded in the busy streets among the jostling throng of people coming and going. He could see men of many nations in this Roman town on the Mediterranean seaboard of Syria, Romans from Italy walking with all the proud confidence of conquest in their bearing, brisk Greek merchants dignified Arabs of the desert in cloaks of orange and red and brown, bringing merchandise down from the east on the slow stepping, soft-footed camels, bearded Jews looking out at their Roman conquerors from under their bushy eyebrows with ill-concealed hate, and swarthy Egyptians from the Nile. As an educated Jew, born in a city whose university was famous for its school of Greek philosophy, trained under the greatest tutor in Jerusalem, yet also by birth a citizen of the whole Roman empire, Paul, with that loved companion and strong physician Luke, who stood by him through these hard days, may well have been the only men in all Caesarea at that time whose mind and experience were broad and deep enough to take all these varied people into their sympathetic understanding. The great citadel stood with its foundations on a sea- smitten rock, as though it would rule the waves as well as the land. On either side of it is a bay where the sea runs over yellow sands. Paul, as a prisoner guarded, would pace these sands north and south out to the rocky headlands, while the Mediterranean rippled at his feet, or in the winter its breakers boomed on the great curving breakwater, which almost enclosed the harbor. The ships of the empire came there, and as he watched them set sail again out of the harbor into the shining seas bound for Rome, the resolution that had held Paul for a long time became fixed. He too would go to Rome, even though it were as a prisoner, and carry his burning message to the very heart of the world. At last his opportunity of doing this came. At the end of two years Felix was recalled to Rome, and a new governor, Porcius Festus, sailed into the harbor at Caesarea. In three days of landing Festus rode up to Jerusalem. Immediately the high priest and the chief men among the Jews, striking swiftly at Paul, went to Festus, told him their story, and pleaded with the governor to get rid of Paul by sending for him to be tried in Jerusalem. Their plan was to place an ambush among the hills behind rocks on the way, and have Paul slain. Festus however refused. He said, I am going down to Caesarea shortly, and will try him then. Let those among you who are able to leave go down with me, and bring your charge against this man. Within a fortnight's time Festus went back to Caesarea, and on the very next day took his seat in the judgment hall, and ordered Paul to be brought before him. Again the Jews laid their charges against him, but could not prove them. Then Paul said, I have not broken at all the laws either of the Jews or the temple or Rome. Will you go to Jerusalem to be judged by me? asked Festus. Paul saw the peril from the Jews in Jerusalem. He trusted the Roman justice. His opportunity of reaching Rome had come. He seized it swiftly. I stand, he said, pointing to Festus at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. If I have done anything worthy of death, I am ready to die. If there are none of these things of which I am rightly accused, no man may deliver me into their hand. I appeal to Caesar.

UCrM4z9DzdvD3bnA5E7tDtKQ	Montpelier Planning Commission - June 10, 2019		null	2019-06-11T23:39:28	2024-02-05T06:10:05	5,394	V6_BCR3R-wg	Getting to order. So the first second item is to approve the agenda. Do we have any adjustments to the agenda? So hearing none, we'll deem it approved. Third item is comments from the chair. So after much thought, I've decided that I have too much going on in my life and I need to step down from the Planning Commission. And it's not a decision that I've reached lightly. I've been hanging in line for months about it, maybe more like a year. But yeah, I mean just when my mother being sick and my child being young and I just started a new job, I just feel like I can't devote the amount of time and energy to this and all other facets of my life. So I just need to cut back on some of my commitments, so it's nothing personal because working with you all has been fantastic. And I know you're in a really good place, so it helps me feel comfortable with stepping down. So my thought was that I would continue for the next meeting. It's the meeting where the Historic Preservation Commission and the Design Review Committee will be attending to present their proposal. And I can help with some of the history behind that and talking with the Commission about it. And then I could step down after that so that you could get a new person in place in July. So you don't feel that just stepping down from being the Chair would be enough? Well, it's the time commitment of the meetings. Of the meetings. Yeah, it's not a good time. Yeah, it hasn't been too much additional work to be Chair because of the great group of people we have here. And everybody's readily handled it, taking care of tasks when I'm delegated. So it really is the time of the meetings. Yeah, I hope that I can rejoin someday when things are a little bit calmer because I have really enjoyed it. And I feel like it's very important to help contribute to the city. And this is a wonderful way to do it. But at this time, it just doesn't seem right. So does anyone have any thoughts on whether that would make sense to come to the next meeting? The stage where we are with the city plan seems early enough that it would be less disruptive for me to step down now than if I were to wait. What's the city process in terms of they're going to have to advertise? That's what I was looking at. We've got a 626 council meeting and we've got a 710 council meeting. So certainly that's the soonest. So keeping you on through the 24th is good because the fastest would be either the 26th or the 10th. The meeting's in July and this was going to be in my later notes, but I'll mention it now. The July meetings are the 15th and 29th. So that's the 3rd and 5th, not the 2nd and 4th Mondays. Usually we're the 2nd and 4th Mondays. We're going to be the 3rd and the 5th because DRB needs to shift with things. Permanently? No, just for the month of July. The club will be totally out. Three other meetings I'm going to rearrange now. No, it's just for that one, 3rd and 5th, so the 15th and 29th for July. So if it's either the 26th or the 10th, either one will mean we would be okay with having a full form, potentially, full staffing. Can I just ask a question on that? Because I have something about the 30th we have a meeting. Is it the 29th or is it the 30th? It should be 15th and 29th. Let's just be in typo or accident. This 30th would be a Tuesday. I think we ever talked about that. So I'll submit my resignation letter immediately, but I'll make the resignation effective the 25th. And then City Council can move forward on it on the 26th. Notice now that they'll need to take up a vote on the 26th and they can post it. So how long do they typically post for this? It depends on how many applicants they get. Okay, well, there should be some time and they could take it up the 10th if they needed to because the Planning Commission won't be meeting. I think they could have an appointment done by the 26th, but in the event something comes up that they have to push it to the 10th, that's still fine. Wouldn't affect. Okay. So I'll do that. As far as leadership is concerned, Kirby and I have been talking about it and I just sprung this on him too. So we agree that it probably makes sense for everybody to just think about it for a couple of weeks. And at the next meeting have a discussion about how you want to proceed with appointing a chair in the meantime. There'll be another elections are required every January. It's in our bylaws. So they'll be, you know, you need to appoint someone for about six months and then you'll have an opportunity to elect a new chair in January. Just have that in mind. Can resume. And since next week is pretty much booked up, I guess maybe we could plan for the meeting after that. There's going to be any action on that. So it'd be post Leslie. So that would be then the July 15th. Assuming that it's okay procedurally. And like, so I could fill in as vice chair for that meeting and leave the meeting, but maybe plan for July 15th to talk about appointing someone until January. Not hearing any complaints. Sounds good. Okay. Maybe Aaron and John have a lot of complaints, but they're not here. Okay. So those are the only things I had the comments for the chair from the chair. So item four on the agenda is general business and he comments from the public on something that's not already on the agenda. We do have a member of the public here, Marcella. I don't know if you have any comments that you want to offer us or. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Great. Okay. So moving on to item five. This is where I remind everybody that we have a joint meeting on June 24th to meet with a historic preservation commission. And I think the design review committee will be here too. They'll be invited. They're invited to discuss the revisions they've made to the zoning bylaws design review process. And we talked a little bit about the background on that at the last meeting, but it's been about a month. So as a quick reminder, the design review bylaws had been critiqued when we were dealing with the big zoning rewrite. And we got a pushback on that. And so we sought to make them a little bit clearer and to have standards be a little bit less ambiguous. There for there to be less discretion in the application of those standards or make the regulations read in such a way that there would be minimal amount of discretion to be applied. Because one of the things we're hearing was that it really depended on who was on design review committee as to whether a project would get approved. In one way or another way or if, yeah, so if certain members weren't present and things would go through and otherwise they wouldn't. And so we just wanted to try to reduce the amount of discretion that was available under that because it would offer people more certainty and applicants a little bit more certainty. That idea was not supported as written by the design review committee and the Historic Preservation Commission because they felt like the standards should be... There necessarily has to be a little bit of discretion in them, but they thought that the Secretary of Interior standard should be the applicable standards. And we said, okay, but that's kind of what we have now, not really, but a little bit. But we need a little bit more clarity behind. I think it was, we looked at the Secretary of Interior standards and thought that he had way too much wiggle room in them. And so Historic Preservation Commission said that they would apply for a grant and developed a detailed guidebook to help explain how the broader regulations would be applied and they would have illustrations and examples. And so before they go too far down the path of developing that they want to check in with us and that's what this meeting is about. So they do have funding for doing the workbook now? Yeah, I think they've been working on it and I'm not sure how far... No, they got the, what they got was the grant to do the regulations, but they haven't got the grant yet to do the guidebook. Oh, okay. I didn't realize they needed a grant to do the regulations. We got the draft regulation. Yes. Yeah, they think, yeah, they're a number of funding sources. They can go back to their same CLG funding to get some of it through the guidebook. So they sent us some materials and we have shared those with everybody. So take a look at them before the meeting next week and two weeks from now. If you have any questions, they may get explained as they do their presentation. They're going to give us a presentation, but... They are going to do a presentation. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, they have a PowerPoint. The PowerPoint. Yeah. Especially the same one that's on our Google Drive. I would think so, but... Yeah, because I think that may be the one that was in the public meeting. Okay, great. Yeah, and it's meant to be... It may be the same one as the public meeting. Yeah. But it'd be great if they bring a detailed one. Yeah, something that's more specific to the guidelines, the requirements. Yeah. Because they are broadening in some ways beyond what we have now. Well, I think they also want to talk about expanding the district, right? I don't think they are. I think they actually have punted on the district lines moving and they'll keep the lines the same. Okay. One thing at a time. Right. My understanding is they're going to want us to deal with that. Oh, like make a recommendation about the lines? Oh, okay. Yeah, I didn't... Try that. Yeah. Maybe we'll leave the lines where they are. Oh, we can, but we need more information. I mean, we can't just make a recommendation willy-nilly. We need something to base it on. That's what they say. Because I think they have the public information gathering process, right? Uh-huh. But then at the end of it said, well, we're not sure about the district lines. Yeah, and I think we needed to know whether they were going to recommend historic guidelines, historic preservation guidelines, design guidelines, or is it a mixture of both? Because if it's more or predominantly a historic, then we really should go through and adjust the boundaries to take out places that aren't historic. Yeah, we've got places that... The properties that are on Memorial Drive, the high school, Green Mountain Power, the state office buildings. I mean, there's nothing historic in there just, but they're all in the design review district. If you're regulating just the historic national life, you're just regulating for historic, you wouldn't need to include those areas in a historic design review guideline. But if it is design review as well or predominantly design review, then you may want to consider that because that's part of the gateway. So it really kind of comes down to where the rules are. How do you interpret what they've written? It's predominantly historic. I thought it was more historic, but I was going to see what their presentation was. I know they didn't want to make a recommendation, but it certainly makes a difference. So we're going to get separate design review standards to be developed? Yeah, I think we'd have to see what they've proposed and see if they really work in both contexts. What a new building and a green field have anything to meet if you're looking at mostly the Secretary of Interior standards. I think we'll see what their presentation is and ask them questions we need to and we can take that issue up as we get into the late summer and fall and see what we want to do. So I think it's meant to be collaborative. They're looking for this to be a little bit of an iterative process, but we should make sure we acknowledge that they've done a lot of work to get to this point. So it's important to keep that in mind. Very in-depth. Very in-depth. Yeah, and I mean it's just a very sensitive issue because what we're talking about is regulating, you know, and design. And people are, I think it's a little bit more personal than some of the other things we regulate. At least it seems to be in some of the public meetings that we've had. It's been something people have been the most upset about, and there unfortunately is often this attitude that, you know, you can trust me, you shouldn't regulate, you know, the color of my house, but oh, don't let my neighbor paint their house that color. You kind of can't have it both ways. So it's a challenging needle to thread. I'm not sure what the right way to couch that metaphor is. I think we just have to look at what historic preservation is proposing and eventually come to a decision of whether that's the direction we want to go because there are going to be other factors that are going to come in later on. And I think what they want to know is where we are going so they know whether to develop the guidebook or how to develop the guidebook because I think certainly when we developed our rules, we talked about looking at things like what was the design review proving already. So the design review was always approving, or at least recently, always approving replacement of windows on historic buildings. So if you wanted to, you just had to make it historically accurate. Consistent. Consistent with the historic character of that building. But you could put in new windows. Historic preservation, when we wrote that into our rules, because we said if you're doing that anyways, let's just put in the rules that says you can do that. If you want to replace your windows, you can replace your windows. You just have to do them historically accurate. Historic preservation really didn't like that. They wanted you to first prove that you couldn't fix that window and that you had to keep the 100-year-old window if you had a 100-year-old window. Now that's going to come up with other things. So we may have some good proposed rules that historic preservation supports, but we're going to have to go and see at what point is the design review committee forward as well to go through and start enforcing it. Because as much as they say they do it, they actually, I've never seen them force somebody to keep the historic windows, at least recently. Unless it was a national registered project, like across the street. But yeah, those usually are forced to by the funders, not by the DRC. Right, by the feds. Yeah, the feds are making them do it because they want federal funding. But even in those projects, French Block has new windows. Finally. Yes. But it took a while, right? They had to get themselves through. But it wasn't DRC that was making them put it off. No. It was the feds. So the question that comes up is, we just... Well, actually it was the state, but... What was the state? The state was more, anyway. Yeah, it was the state. More than the fed, than the national registered... Yes, the state HP can be more strict than the federal tax credit source, the interior area. Oh, that's interesting to know. It seems like you've had some experience with this. Yeah. That was the... Some of the crux of what we were trying to look at when we wrote our set of design rules for a proposal was that we wanted to reflect what was actually going on so people would have some expectation of knowing, if I wanted to replace the windows, I could do it. Or if I wanted to replace the porch, you know, could I replace the porch with modern material as long as it matched the porch that was on there? You know, could I use pressure-treated wood or do I have to use consistent materials as well? And that was, you know, just a question. We figured these were things we should be able to prescribe out front. And then that would take the question out of it. You know, you have to do this unless one, two, three. But those rules didn't make it through. And so Historic Preservation Commission has come up with an alternative proposal. And I think we'll just have to go and evaluate it and see how well it kind of meets what the public is going to do with the sport. And then once we make a decision and council gets a chance to talk about it, then we would have an opportunity to give them some feedback on their guidebook. You know, is it worth going forward with this? Is your proposal going to actually get passed? And then they'll go back and do a guidebook. So the process for this document would be to amend it in a series of iterations and then it would go to council or come to us. It just seems sort of hard to approve regulations without the guidebook when the big concern is that the regulations aren't clear enough. And I think what they weren't asking for them to be the regulations to be adopted at this time. But they did want to have some public comments. They did want to have input from the Planning Commission and input from the city council. But it wasn't going to go up for adoption. Because they were in a catch-22. They don't want to adopt guidelines to something that might change. But at the same time, you can't really adopt them without the guidebook. So they're kind of, well, let's go through the process as if we're going to adopt it. Take public comment. If we get a lot of negative public comment that says there's no way this is ever going to pass, then they know don't adopt the guidebook. Don't work on a guidebook. We've got to do some more work on the rules. Or maybe it's just a matter of making a few adjustments to the rules and then move forward with the guidebook adoption. But right now it's coming to us. And there are not any public meetings scheduled. So there are no public meetings scheduled yet. But I would expect once we hear from them that we would probably want to schedule something to hear from the public on what they think of these rules. So I guess this is the first of that process. This is the beginning of that process. I'll just ask one more question. So is there argument for room for interpretation that they have to consider what kind of historic resource that is? Or do you sort of know what their thinking is on why they need interpretation and not kind of like cut and dry, more cut and dry standards? I'm not quite getting the question. Still, I'm not quite understanding why they are saying they need room for interpretation on standards instead of... I think it's more about sticking to what the norm is, which is the Secretary of Interior Standards. Oh, which are open to interpretation. They're very comfortable with those. But if we did something that was more like... Explicit. It was more explicit and it would mean us changing those standards. Oh, okay. Okay, so it's more about that. So I'm just really highly valued, especially if homeowners are going to be affected by this, that they're very clear. Yes. Yeah. And that's what we tried to do. Yeah. The language? Well, it's supposed to, but they haven't written it yet. Yeah. That's the intent. Yeah. Yeah. And what we had ended up with was a set of rules that were very similar to the Secretary's standards, except that we had explicit outs where we said... For windows. Doors and porches where we said, look, we always approve these anyways. Some materials. Why make people jump through the hoops to get approved for getting their windows replaced on their historic building if we're going to approve them anyways? Just set the rule that says you can replace them as long as you meet these standards. And... Some of the buildings in town that are historic, that are historic, that have commercial, that are for commercial uses can avail themselves of certain tax credits, I think, if they meet the Secretary of Interior standards. And so one of the concerns that the Historic Preservation Commission had was that if we have competing regs, then there's a possibility for conflict, which is, you know, a valid concern. Yeah. And this state also made it clear that they kind of said that they could remove our CLG status if we didn't follow the Secretary of Interior standards. Oh, that's a good reminder. Even though our current rules don't meet the Secretary of Interior standards, if we adjusted them to make them closer to Secretary of Interior standards, that for whatever reason... And that goes for our historic district, though, right? We're still... Well, that was for the CLG. The CLG is community-wide. Okay. So CLG stands for what then? The Certified Local Government. But historic buildings outside the district aren't reviewed? That's what I'm... Yes, which goes to some of the... Whatever is that we parsed back and forth with Devanon was to go through and say, yeah, but we already don't regulate those buildings. We already don't regulate those buildings, and yet... So what was the response to that then? I mean, when you pointed out that there are buildings that we aren't regulating, we can't require that they follow... I wasn't going to push it too far because I didn't want to put ourselves in a double jeopardy of pointing out the fact that we don't meet the regulations and we don't meet the district requirements and then really have Devanon in a position where he's going to push back and say, well, I'm going to throw you out now. Yeah. Oh, I see. If you don't meet our 100 percent... It's a tenuous position. I guess. I reached a point of stop pushing that when he pushed back on the one. And so it's worth just keeping in mind that that was put out there, that one of the reasons we are eligible for a certified local government and the grants that they offer is because we meet these requirements. So... Even though we don't. Even though we don't. But... Would that inform the boundaries of the design review district? It could. It's worth... It's worth... Certainly worth running that flagpole at a certain point to see where... What their reaction would be if we passed... If we went forward and passed these rules as proposed by historic preservation, what would be the pushback from the division? Would the division expect us to expand the district to include these other areas? Or... Are they comfortable with what's proposed? And are they basing their recommendation on the federal register? Theirs is still following the arbitrary boundary that has been under our rules. Our boundary follows nothing. It just is. Well, nobody knows exactly why it was established the way it was. What Mike's trying to say. There's no rhyme or reason to... It doesn't follow the historic district lines. It doesn't follow any zoning district lines. It doesn't follow the... The only requirement that we must keep is we must have... We must have design review for the designated downtown. So that is the only really hard and fast thing. If we adjusted the boundary such that parcels were removed from the designated downtown, we could jeopardize our designated downtown status, which we obviously wouldn't want to do. But that's really a pretty tight floor of properties. Right now it's bigger than that. Yeah, it is bigger than that by quite a bit. It involves neighborhoods and portions of neighborhoods. Yeah. But it doesn't cover all of the historic district currently. The designated downtown is that just the urban core? Mostly just the urban core and downstone cutters way. So how... I don't know, maybe we should ask this next week, but when writing and asking questions here. Okay. How does a town establish their initial National Register District? I mean, Barb, you're a historic architect. Do you have any knowledge? Well, I have no idea how Montpelier arrived at theirs. Right. We've established that. But I think there was a survey. There have been several surveys done. By historic preservation specialists? Yeah, people who basically make the listing and then send it to the Secretary of the Interior. Okay. And so I think they just started with the downtown and then it seems to have grown just sort of beyond what would be considered the urban core. Should we apply for a grant for a survey to be done? That's what was done two years ago and was finally approved. Oh. So they remapped ours and included a few more properties that had been skipped before. So usually what you want for your historic district is buildings that are of a similar time period and a similar, I don't want to say theme, but they're of a similar character. Character, right. And so usually you may have a downtown that's broken into four different historic districts. For some reason, we just became one big one. But a lot of other places would have a number of smaller historic districts. I think I remember looking at Hardwick's, which is where I live. And I think they have three historic districts in their downtown core. One that was built within this time period and tended to follow these. This was 1840s. These were all built in Greek Revival and the city town started over here. Then when the grain industry came in, it expanded until here's a second historic district that's right next to that historic district and then there's a third one that covers another area. So you end up, most places have these piece by piece, but they all kind of connect. Yeah. That's interesting. I didn't realize that. Even some places as small as Hardwick would do that. Yeah. They would have multiples. I mean, that's why this is the biggest in the state. Because usually you'll break this into a number of smaller historic districts. And they have different rules, which would be each one or just... They would have the same rules, but when you talk about being of the character of compatible with the character, you wouldn't want to go through and build a... Somebody proposes something that takes a few themes of federalist and decides to stick it into a Greek Revival neighborhood and the architect's neighborhood will go and say, wait a second, this is an 1840s, 1860s neighborhood and you're going to try to insert this historic looking 1890s feature. It seems like we are wrestling with that because we have a downtown that's commercial buildings and then we have residential neighborhoods running right up to them and they really are different themes or characters. But... It's pretty easy to identify when those groups were built because oftentimes it seems as if they were built by similar contractors at similar time periods because we can see the early maps of Montpelier. Many of the existing historic buildings weren't on it. It seems like something to ask next week or the next meeting. But the historic surveys were all done just looking at what's on the ground not with an intention of turning them into design review districts. What happened is they surveyed it so that way they would have records of what the historic buildings are and also because of the changes at the federal level for how federal money would be spent and its impacts on historic resources, you had to have the maps. You can't put highways to historic downtown as easily as you know where the historic buildings are. Are you saying that we could have multiple historic districts, some of which could follow the Secretary of Interior standards as the historic participation committee wants, and some of them could maybe not have design review standards that would be a question for Devin. As long as it's not in there designated downtown I think it would be one obvious caveat there. Devin is a state... Devin Coleman. He works in the Historic Preservation Office or whatever the Department of Historic Preservation. I think it's DHB. Yeah. He's not the ship out though, the floor treatment. Interesting what you asked Kirby though. We could have separate districts that just might not have to meet the Secretary of the Interior standards but could still have design review rather than not having any design review on those historic districts. Part of what I was baking in there was to try to avoid being overly complicated. If we're having multiple districts it would be fine if really the only purpose of them from what I'm understanding here is that that just means that when they're looked at and judged they're going to be more in a vacuum among what's going on there. So there won't be apples and oranges and stuff going on which seems to make a ton of sense and it does make sense for Montpelier so maybe that sounds like a need. But at the same time that would help us with the problem of having the Secretary of the Interior standards which are very comprehensive and then maybe for some of the neighborhoods in town we know that the people there don't want that kind of regulation when it comes to design review. So could our like elegant solution involve having multiple districts and some of them having this department of senior standards and some not? So I think, and then yeah, that doesn't add a layer of complication whether or not we're going to have design review but that's not Secretary of the Interior. That's originally what we proposed, isn't it? It's getting closer to that. But in a different way. Yeah, so I'll just run, if we take out the CLG and we take out the designated downtown there's no requirement under state law and no requirement under federal law that we do any design review. We don't have to do anything. The only time we have to is when we've got these other two pieces and obviously I don't think the designated downtown will be an issue because I don't think anyone is going to propose to shrink anything to the point that it's less than the designated downtown. So because that really is just the urban core almost all those buildings are eligible for tax credits so I don't think we would ever, ever not do that. But the CLG will be one that we'll just have to work with the state to see how they, how they handle it and what their expectations are. So in other words, if historic preservation goes through and gets another certified local government grant and does work to get the meadow its own historic district which has been talked about. It's not in our, it's not in our historic district but it's mostly historic. The college has a lot of historic properties in and around it. That could be a separate historic district but if they put those in are we then obligated as a CLG to then do design review up there as well? That's in the answer I don't know. We'll probably go to your other question related which is what about these areas like Loomis and Liberty that are in our historic district now but are not in design review is the state going to force us to move our design review boundary out to capture those? Are you one of those? Neither. The historic district stops next door to me. So it doesn't come up very far at Liberty, you know, even halfway. Yeah, your saint Saint Paul Street is. It comes to a grand terrace, doesn't it? Yeah. And a kill of grand terrace. Yeah. So, yeah. And I know that was one of the issues that was brought up with the public comment is that there are lots of other neighborhoods particularly around the college that could benefit from a historic review and they're not part of it. That just revires a lot of public outreach. And yeah. And then the whole idea of expanding the district. Right. Well, I mean, I think making a list of all of the reasons why it would benefit the city is very important. I mean, it opens us up to grants in a way. I mean, right now they're available to us but they're under threat if we don't get our districts cleaned up, district boundaries, district boundaries cleaned up. I think that there's some level of certainty for property values that could be offered by living in a neighborhood that is historic and subject to review for that. So I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing but we need to be strategic about it and we need to think about where we want to have more infill and where we want to have more housing because we don't want to let this prevent back growth either. So it's complex. We've really talked about that but I think that is going to be a sort of elephant in the road. Maybe we need to learn more about what's being proposed next week but I think, yeah. Are you thinking about for new construction specifically? Yeah, to make sure that there's little to no interference with new construction or at the very least no impact on or at least for me it would be important to have no impact on what's done internally within a building as far as added units. But even new construction like which we need. We do have some requirements for new construction in terms of massing and articulation but right now but sometimes that becomes difficult in residential areas. But we do have some, right? Yeah, there's some and the question I think will come up is what happens when somebody wants to put in addition on to have an accessory dwelling unit. Are we putting barriers up to that if somebody wants to put a tiny house in the backyard? What barriers does to design if you put up it? It may be not much. The answer may be not much but I think those are the questions that anytime you start putting in a new layer or expanding a boundary you're going to have the question come up. Is this going to interfere with energy? Is this going to interfere with housing? Is this going to interfere? We have a number of goals that we want to accomplish and does do these new rules present barriers or do we have enough flexibility to work through those to be able to protect the historic character? I think that was Kim's concern when he was here as chair was that he felt there wasn't enough of a strong advocate and the reason why historic our design review rules failed was because we didn't have enough of an advocate. We weren't pushing for why this is important. Why is historic, preserving historic buildings important to Montpelier? It's our history. It's our bones. It's what makes us who we are and we really should be. The community should be embracing us. Embracing these ideas of going in and protecting a historic character. And because we didn't have enough of an advocate there we didn't have our, you mentioned a couple of groups that used to exist and really used to be big and pushing and making sure the community understood the value. I think this is just going to be a challenge and I think something we haven't worked through before. I don't think the historic preservation and development and new growth are mutually exclusive but they have often been seen that way. I think that's ideally, even if we expand the boundaries we do some things that look like an expansion or making a stricter regulation for historic preservation. If at the same time we're very careful to make sure that that we can tell people that this is not going to interfere with our energy or our housing goals. Like what we're proposing. If we can get to the point where we can say that. I think that'll help a lot. Yeah. I know Eric Gilbertson has some opinions about the argument we hear often that newer windows are more energy efficient. But at the same time everybody I know wants to replace the old windows, right? Yeah. See, I don't think it's for us in talking with the public. We've got to make sure that people are able to do the things that they want to do while we keep a story character as opposed to them having concerns in a thing. Well, actually, like... It has to be the original windows or the original materials. Yeah, because I don't think that's going to work. I think Kirby's saying we shouldn't just say well, actually, your windows are just as efficient as... Oh, yeah. Trying to counter that argument. But, you know, and then... I mean, we had a lot of arguments for replacement before. Only one of which was lead paint. And in the existing buildings it's a huge, huge problem with windows. The lead paint? Yeah, because all the old windows were painted with lead paint. Yeah. You know, take a double-hung window and you put it up and down. You've got lead paint dust in the air. And then, you know, children don't have to lick it, you know, just to be affected by it. So there's a health and safety issue too. We did discuss that when we talked about windows. So I haven't seen any addressing of that in here but they might be in the post. Any other thoughts about this while we move on? We'll get to revisit it on our next agenda item, which is... It's a lot longer than ours was. Yes, it is. It's going to double the size of our... Yeah, well... Our zoning has not been accused of being brief. I'll say that. But it's hard. You want to try to address everything and be specific. You have to. There's just no way of being short. Yes. Okay. So city plan. Next item on the agenda. Item six. City plan. So we... A month ago when we met, we were going through the list that Barb transcribed at our All Committees Kick-Off Meeting of the three goals that the Committees who attended and had representatives for presented. And I've changed offices and I don't know where my notes are for that right now. So I'm going to go off recollection. The minutes. Oh, the minutes. Okay. Great. We didn't finish going through all of them. I remembered that we did the Parks Commission and we didn't do the next one, which is a Recreation Department Advisory Board and the minutes support my recollection, which is pretty nice. I'm finally getting sleep again, which this is evidence of my brain working again. So, no, seriously, 22 months and then just started sleeping. It was great. But, um... Your baby will sleep like an angel. He does. He won't take naps. Everybody has challenges. Nobody has it any easier than the other. I'll tell you. Okay, so we went through, and just to recap what we did, because it has been a little while, we went through each goal and we talked about the goals that were articulated by the representative from that committee and we tried to understand it a little bit further and we came up with some action items about how, oh, we should follow up with this committee or maybe we should get these two committees together to address their overlapping goals. So, I'll find those notes. But I thought for now, in order to not slow us down, we should kind of pick up where we left off and there's not that many left, actually. I just have... I'll just rattle them off. I mean, and one is the Development Review Board and I don't think that this is... I mean, they're really more regulatory and like a judicatory. They're not really kind of thinking ahead. They're looking at how to review projects, so... Did they come up with anything? I can't remember. They did. Well, we can go through it. But I'll list them off and then we can go back and go through them one by one. So I have the Recreation Department Advisory Board, the Tree Board, Complete Streets, which I think we talked about. Development Review Board and Historic Preservation Commission. So that's why I said we'll get to come back to this topic. I think maybe we should start with the Historic Preservation Commission because it's fresh on our minds and then I can kind of resume back up at the top of the list. How does that sound? So their overarching kind of mission is to advocate for historic properties in walkable downtown and they've identified three goals to achieve that mission. Just to contextualize that. So the first is to finish their draft regulations. So we've just talked at length about that and the status of that and our role in that process. Goal number two is to plan a survey to add structures. So I'm assuming that's what we were talking about. Adding structures means extending the boundary of the... I don't think they're looking to extend the boundary of the current historic district because it's already the biggest and so they've kind of said they're going to create new historic districts. Biggest in the state, you mean? Biggest in the state, yeah. So they expect to add new ones and as I mentioned, the meadow has always come up, the college up and around the college. So they would just do like a stand-alone designation of a house, a structure, or a neighborhood? Of, yeah. There's a couple that were... Yeah. They were thinking, I think, in that one of neighborhoods, but... They're not thinking about Cliff Street, are they? I mean, I think the city council... Of course, I actually think the Cliff Street's already in. Isn't it? In the historic... Was it Cliff Street? Designed? Was it taken out or something? It was taken out of the design review. The design at Hall to remove them? Yeah, it was taken out of design review. Design review. So then that basically takes them out of any kind. And then they're still in the historic district. Well, I guess the action wasn't particularly clear. So maybe that's something that we could see clarification on eventually. I mean, I know... My recollection of the vote from city council was that they agreed to take Cliff Street neighborhood out of design review. I thought it was of the district. You're saying... It wasn't out of the district, it was just out of... It was just an exemption. I'm trying to think if they were in the district. An exemption that's been carved out? No, they were, they were. They were, because that's... That was our part of our argument where we said they should stay in design review. But I understood from Mayor Watson, who may not have been mayor at the time, but she was certainly on city council, was that, and she was the one who made the motion, was that there should be an opportunity to revisit this decision in the future, right? Yes, it wasn't permanent. Yes. So I think, you know, that needs to be part of the discussion about them wanting to add new structures and need to ensure that we understand the rationale very clearly before we agreed anything. And we're going to hear from that neighborhood. We should just anticipate that. I just wanted to mention that as part of my download of information. So goal number three is incentives for owner-occupied historic properties. So what are your thoughts, Barb? Do you think that this is meant to pass on some sort of tax credit or something that the commercially used historic properties have to owners who live there? Well, something, because they can't apply for those through the federal register, but it would certainly be an incentive to the owners, and I don't know that they even talked about what form that might take, but it would have to be something that would come from the city, I would think, because it's not a federal requirement. But it certainly could give them owners a reason to do the right thing. And why would it just be owners and not owner-occupied buildings and not residential buildings? Was it owner-occupied? That's what it says. Incentives for owner-occupied historic structures. I think if it was not owner-occupied, it could be defined as a public building, and therefore qualify for tax credits. Even if it's residential? A couple, two units or something? Maybe they just used that term as the other side of the coin from commercial. Yeah, maybe they mean residential. Because if it's not owner-occupied, then it's a rental and so it would be commercial. Maybe that's all they meant. Yeah. They know more than I do on the specifics of that. That's an expert committee. But yeah, that actually could be true that owner-occupied, I mean the rental units could potentially be eligible. Because I know John Anderson talked about his units. The state. Yeah, he's, yeah. And we've identified potentials for conflict with this goal two and goal three. So goal two, adding new historic structures. Goal three, incentive to owners for owner-occupied historic structures. Maybe not so much. But definitely goal two is potentially conflict with additional housing and energy goals, right? Well, not new construction. This is for existing buildings and neighborhoods. Add structures to historic properties? Yeah. Yeah, but like if there was a deteriorated property that was historic and they would let you tear it down, would that apply? Actually, we have other requirements for demolition. Okay. So, which we wrote pretty carefully regarding historic properties, I thought. But in terms of repair, that might, it might fall into, but I still don't think it's going to affect new construction significantly. Do you, Mike? No, I think the number one, I think the finishing, whatever comes out of the regs will have, just expanding the national or creating a new national historic district or adding new structures on, they don't think would. My concern with the, for talking about goal two, which was the incentives for owner occupied, my concern there would be having public tax money that's gathered from everyone and then redistributed perhaps to the people who were the best in position to take advantage of this, which might, is I think likely to be the wealthiest people in town. Fancy houses. Yeah. I think the distribution problem there is one for me. We already have money available for people to add accessory units, for example. The city's already providing funding, some funding for that, which could also therefore mean bigger houses. The argument to accessory units of things, at least you're adding units, maybe there's renters, maybe there's someone else that could benefit. With this, it would be to replace your windows. And specifically single family, if we're to find the owner occupied as a single family. Well, I mean by definition, you have to be an owner of a house to get the credit. Yeah. But also, yeah. We had some, several requirements in the old zoning that required owner occupant, for example, to add the accessory unit that used to be owner occupied buildings, right? So maybe that's a holdover. I mean, we could specify instead or ask them what they might think about switching this from owner occupied to multi-family or use it as an incentive to add accessory. Yeah. And we can see, I've been working with them a little bit with the Historic Preservation Commission on some of their implementation strategies to develop their plan chapter. So we have had some discussions about, and I just threw ideas out for them to consider. So I know they're working on how they want to, you know, those are the strategies that go to accomplishing their goals. And so I'm working with them on that right now. So maybe they'll have some ideas that they didn't have back in August when it was just looking at incentives for owner occupied. Maybe they've moved to a different set of goals. So it could still be incentives, but not specifically to narrowly to owner occupied. Yeah. I mean, we have different incentives in the city right now for putting up solar panels. We don't charge building fees, building permit fees to put up a solar panel. And you can get different, there are different incentives we can give that aren't all cash incentives. That's true. It was interesting. I'm looking at their kind of their mission statement that they have offered us. And it says advocate for historic properties in walkable downtown. The walkable piece kind of catches my eye. Do you think the idea is that having more connected historic structures will increase interest in walking in the downtown? I'm trying to figure out how these two things connect. Unless walkable defines a specific area that's close to the downtown as opposed to outlying neighborhoods. Yeah. I see this like it's like if there's a visitor who's visiting downtown, anything that's walkable from the downtown would be what we were trying to emphasize for. Okay. Yeah. This is advocate for historic properties and walkable downtown. Not in walkable downtown, but it could just be a typo. It could have been, yeah. What they said at the time wasn't specific to what they meant. Yeah. And that would make a little more sense. All right. So going back up to the middle of the list where I was. So the recreation department advisory board, which I'm not terribly familiar with them. Mike, do you work with them much? No. I mean, I know the parks commission. So I think the rec advisory board must be who Ernie reports to or gets feedback from. Okay. So their goals are, I mean, it's interesting. I mean, there's their notes, but the first bullet says, what to do with 55 Berry street old rec building need to plan for the future needs of the city. And that's one building that they're trying to figure out how to do that. Is that a historic building? This is. That's what I thought. I believe it's. Armory. Yes. Was an armory. Oh, it would make sense. It looks like. So we have a restricted ability to change the exterior. The facade, right? It's it's got so many issues on the interior as well. That the whole building because of asbestos. Right? Is that part of it? It's got lots of it's got asbestos. It's got lead. It had it had a shooting range in the basement. So it's got. Oh. Yeah. Police qualifications. I mean, so there's just a lot of things that were there. Plus it has multi levels and to make it ADA accessible. You need to put in an elevator. My understanding is that actually the plan now is actually to retrofit the building to keep it. Retrofit in what way? Add the elevator and go through. I think that I think it's still in the it's still in the development phase. The idea of I think this is where the jump in splash debate came in last year when there was a lot of discussions. Do we want to have a regional. Larger. Everyone wants to pull creation community center. And if we had that, we wouldn't need 58 Berry Street. We could demolish it and maybe use it as a small park or a small parking lot or whatever was the. No more parking lots. The same was said. People on Berry Street would like to have a place to park off street. Connection to the bike path. Yeah. From Berry Street. So there was a number of opportunities that were presented. If the building weren't there, we could do. We could repurpose that lot for something else. So. My understanding was after the the. CNA and the. Needs assessment was done that. The decision was to keep, to not do the regional. And to keep that building into retrofit it. Fit our needs. I think they're developing now what the costs are because you're going to have to come up with a plan and costs. So they can bond for it because it will be a million dollar improvement. But what, what is it? What will fit our needs? What is it that we're. Retrofitting it for. That would be a question for them. Okay. For recreation. Right. Basketball and. Continue to be used for recreation. Yes. Okay. Continue to be used for recreation. Because right now it is being used for recreation. But not very well. It's difficult. Okay. And if you were. Physical disability that. Would probably make it impossible for you to get in there. Yeah. Because it's. Even in the door. Yeah. Even in the door. You're coming up multiple steps. Okay. For recreation. The. Yeah. The notes say 55. But. I trust. I wrote 58. I took the notes on the. Yeah. So don't go by those. Could be 55 unless 58 is the senior center across the street. And that's why 58 sticks in my head. Oh, it doesn't be very straight. I know where it is. You know it. Doesn't everybody know what building? Okay. Okay. Do any. Do any? do any do any like middle school kids use that building yeah yeah no one I'm leaving to go back I park in stonecutters way so I've got to walk over and walk by it so when I go by it six there's always parents picking up kids it's always open I think it locks up at some point I've been at kids birthday parties there the sun's kind of like a dangerous place that kids birthday party a lot of the contamination stuff is in the basement oh yeah people aren't swimming around like what are you doing well we went through the dungeon themed birthday party we were digging in that strange child it's not a bad venue for that actually it's a lot of space yeah so and I think I think kitty takes the girls there for the there's a good gym class or something anyway I'm just really smart child goes there too anyway so there's second bullet for the recreation department advisory board is infrastructure needs and they have pool house etc written here so my guess is that we have these facilities and we're not supporting them with money yes so we need to do that for these ones that we are able to have done a good job of keeping up pool the tower everything there but there are a number of things that have been that have needs including the pool house the maintenance that gets you the maintenance I think though the Mountaineers have some stuff with it you need to box where they do the calls from you know that they have some spaces underneath the span stands that are being used but yeah I don't know what I just know there was a number of those that have been highlighted and I think that's on the list of because we have a facilities director who was approved in the budget we should be posting for hiring some point this summer it was a partial year partially year yeah so I mean this seems like something we can put in a city plan you know the goals are to ensure adequate funding for our our infrastructure and there's pretty easy measurables and they're unlike some of these goals yeah we can actually easily track but it we have to determine what the priority is for that you know compared to the green print so okay and then the last bullet for the recreation department advisory board is to provide recreational opportunities for all residents so I think it must be speaking to a variety of operation of recreational opportunities and the location probably where they're provided I guess so at that extent to the river I mean acts of the river for people to vote you know to where's the overlap with others so I think some of this is has been helped greatly by the fact that they are now a combined department so we used to have a separate recreation department in fact Arnie used to be working for the schools now the wreck department left the schools and now part of the city so the wreck department the parks trees the senior center have all been merged into a community this is a community services wreck parks and trees and senior oh community services so that's one of the things Jesse did just before she left was to work on getting a merger of those departments they haven't finished figuring out how to put it all together yet there was you know they're still is I think it's work in progress to kind of figure out how to how to be able to balance resources and needs and you know obviously that question of you know we want to park within 10 minutes walk of every neighborhood but what if it's a recreational what if it's a ball field instead of a park it is a ball field not just a type of park and so I think there's just being able to balance these parks parks rec senior and events and doing these various different things they just trying to coordinate and I know it also starts to come down when you start talking about how to maintain things parks might have some things that need to get mowed in the wreck department might have a lot of lawn mowers well if you're one department it becomes a lot easier just to go this is all that needs to be mowed we're gonna buy one set of lawn mowers we don't care yeah which one we're mowing at the same time if we need you know a large tractor well the parks department has a tractor we don't have to buy one for the wreck department the parks department has one you're all you're all the same department we can share resources and I think they're just still they're still figuring themselves out because unlike other departments there isn't a director of community services it's a department that includes three different directors so they still have some pieces to work out and that was part of the discussion were they going to make a hierarchy or were they not going to just go to sue when they need to tie breaker I don't know it has it seems as though everybody's been very happy with it so far there was a proposal it's where the cemeteries should be included in that in cemeteries has opted to stay out just think of Brexit yeah Brexit okay so um tree board their mission is to make the city literate about trees to educate citizens and they've identified three goals well I guess they're kind of related they're not all under that umbrella but one increase size and diversity of trees and canopy to educate citizens value of trees and care and three improve health of urban forest it doesn't seem like at least one and two should probably be kind of like measurable mm-hmm outcomes yeah I mean figuring out how to educate citizens I see that one yeah increase size and diversity of trees yeah we have to figure out what the bench you know the baseline is right yeah I don't know the pre-quiz and then the quiz right 10 years I don't know I think so because they actually track where the trees are going so and then they actually track me not maintenance but the check-in on them so I mean I think they planted a hundred trees a hundred city street trees this year yeah yeah well on their way to meeting their goal right right and you know and what they were trying to do was to acknowledge the fact that we've lost a lot of the big trees along the streets and many more are sick and probably going to lose them soon so they tried to a lot of trees get removed not very many trees get added back in right right or in the places or the necessarily the species that are more adaptable rather than replanting maple trees which were ash that were problematic I mean I think we can also we worked on the landscaping rags already and that would be part of this ensuring there's adequate what do we call it we just call it cover we call it something else yeah we had a couple of different terms for it yeah we had street tree requirements we had parking lot and then we had the general landscaping so if you managed to avoid the first two will catch you on the third one well I think that those would work towards one and two one and three sorry one and three which are increased size and diversity of trees and improve health of urban forest and they've certainly been working on the education with the labels on the trees actually downtown you know for the ash borer they've actually put labels around the trees so hopefully people are noticing those they'll be for educate yeah educate right so they're there definitely acting on that so maybe they determine some kind of a measure well if not we can recommend that they maybe think about that one yeah even if there isn't necessarily a measurable certainly the new rules that we adopted as interim changes with respect to the street trees and with all trees is that we now require a certain amount of undisturbed area around every tree so even if we can't quantify it we do know qualitatively our new rules now are gonna be protecting you know if you've got a large tree you have to protect a hundred square feet around that tree and if it's a smaller tree it might be 64 and if it's just even smaller might be 25 square feet but there's where we didn't have rules before you might be able to put a sidewalk right up to a tree and leave it no root space well now we've got a requirement that you're gonna have to show us where that well yeah yeah preferably have a well of some type but if not it certainly just at least need to have the green space that's around it so we've got some qualitative rules that will help meet the third objective all right move on from tree board complete streets so complete streets is a little oh I'll let you read it they're a little bit of a confusing one because they're there's the transportation infrastructure committee which looks at the streets then there's complete streets which looks at more events well these goals are kind of they're grounded in actual infrastructure all right so goal one is for new pet bike transit projects goal two is to reduce surface parking lots see tear down the wreck building about it's your parking lot I would cry I would cry I do think that we need parking for Berry Street but not in not to destroy a historic building to do it but okay so goals three expand transportation alternatives so going back to the first goal new pet bike transit projects well we are on our way with that I mean we've got the bike path extension that's happening and eventually it'll be connected yes as soon as we get from Main Street to direct is it just so there it will be set that the work that they're doing now will be extended all the way to the rec center no okay no other than that gap which gap from Main Street to the rec center so from Main Street all the way out to the west is all gonna be complete and then from the rec center east to gals hill be all done but we'll have 600 feet in the how does this interface with the transportation or is there still a transportation there is and as I said initially the discussion was they didn't merge into a completely unified group because one was going to be one kept wanting to do events and one kept wanted to talk about doing projects and so they eventually split into a bunch group and project looks like now looking at this it sounds like both being project so we've always wanted to try to keep the same as a single transportation committee because we think it's more effective that way but the m-tick is currently considered the transportation committee that's the one that we staff yeah okay so what kind of events what are trying to do things like maybe shut down a neighborhood street on a Saturday so kids could ride their bikes in the street doing more neighborhood type events to get people out you know maybe organizing an event where we would shut down the parking on one side of a street put up cones that way people could use that as a as a bikeway for a weekend or for a week trying to set up those types of opportunities where we can try out new things on a temporary basis didn't they have some kind of guidelines they developed or some kind of a study was there a complete street study well there was but that was a street typology that okay so they're doing the street typology no I'm sorry this is a little bit of a side question but whatever I didn't end up getting the time to get to advance that it's still on our work list of possible things that hasn't gotten here we're gonna be forced to at some point because we've got certain streets that are not gonna be happy people are not gonna be happy but certain streets have run out of numbers okay and we need to fix it okay sorry for that okay so I mean these goals I think they're pretty easy to I don't know what expand transportation alternatives and conferences so maybe we should talk about that briefly I mean that's that's what the sustainable month for your coalition's been looking at so is this alternatives to cars yes I'm assuming so okay yes yeah so and and not necessarily relying or assuming that it's going to be more buses in the similar kind of format to what we're doing now that may be a new a different way of providing transportation so I've forgotten that that was actually part of one of theirs right so they should be working with the energy committee on this right well the energy committee sort of over watching what the system of doing okay so so it's the sustainable more pillar coalition that should be working with the complete streets yeah and maybe I'm not sure I'm not sure of everyone who was around the table but okay okay moving on I think I mean I think that we have one more which is the development review board so let's just talk about that quickly and try to get through our minutes and get out of here and the next five ten minutes because it's pretty hot in here and I feel everybody's I'm losing people so let's just try to be productive in the last few minutes meet myself included so development review board okay let me just rattle off what they have here and we can talk about them so provide consistent and fair review of projects so not really a city plan goal but good clear and flexible standards so yeah that's what we try for parking comprehensive slash realistic plan which has been identified again and again and the last pieces and advanced long-term sustainability goals so I think you know my take of their presentation was that they just they're trying to figure out how to interpret and apply the regulations with these goals in mind as the purpose so I don't think we need to talk too much about that their definition of sustainability yeah yeah well they'll get that in the rest of the city plan yeah yes we will inform that are they talking about yeah resilience or they talking yeah um I don't know because I mean we could go back and review but I'm not sure my sense is that it probably had to do with the sustainable month failure coalition ideas I mean it seems like everybody has a appreciation for the net zero competition and the team bridges proposal and the other proposals all these committees seem to appreciate different aspects of them so I think using some of those ideas from those proposals as anchors would be really useful sorry can I digress just a bit about that on the design competition because when you said that it reminded me when I went on to our Google Drive the only one that's on it is the bridges currently the bridges information I couldn't access the workbook because it wasn't functional okay and and the other ones are not on it and since we reviewed all five of them of the finalists it seems like it might be appropriate to have at least some information maybe they're they're overview board right we want to be taking a look at all of those Mike can you add those to that is it easy for you to add stuff to that Mike to our I think you can add them to drag and drop as far as okay so if you if you see something that you think should be on there you could and you have access to that document you should feel free to upload it I might just not have you know dug deep enough in the rabbit hole but it seems like there are lots of things like the greening of America's capitals plan I didn't see on you know the other plans that we have yeah I don't think yeah I think there are a number of things that aren't aren't there yet there yet yeah and somewhere on there I know that we have to draft for the energy section but I yeah what I saw didn't have a lot in it yeah I so I I've been trying to work on some stuff so I can meet with you at some point oh great okay because yeah I couldn't find when John was like oh yeah we worked on a whole bunch of stuff and it was and it's on there and I looked I'm like well it's no yeah there unless I'm just not finding it it could I didn't find it either okay now all right and he's more tech savvy yeah well he's also just busy so no I mean oh my oh yeah if you can't find it then maybe it really isn't there so anyway thanks sorry for the regression yeah it has it in there I just can't scroll it down okay all right because I couldn't get anything other than the cover to load all right I guess not everything related to bridges there were four documents all together right but the other teams yeah yeah or at least if not the whole workbooks that might be more difficult but at least the boards yeah right and that I think having all five of them would be helpful okay so as far as the visioning statement for the city plan is concerned I'm gonna compile all my notes and type them up and then the conversation can resume you know looking at all of these just see if try to tie it all together and come up with a visioning statement yeah I mean maybe if people want to try to come up with something that would be very helpful for the discussion and if you don't want to put together a sentence or two you can just start next to hear the key things that I'm seeing themes about and just do bullets how long are you imagining this visioning statement being no just a sentence or two that's what it gets hard yeah that people could actually remember I want to try to go and see if I can find it I thought we had a consultant do a visioning statement oh I can't remember where I got where it is but I'll try to see if I can find it okay but it was professionally developed and they're really good professionally written sentence well it's a paragraph we always we always chuckle I work I work in words for a living but I'm still that's still where I'm like but we think he's really there actually really he does it all around the country and it's it's remarkable that he'll sit down and talk to these guys and he'll write this whole thing up and you're just like oh that's good so that's really good but I can't remember that's a piece we want to see the rainbows and butterflies something better than I can put together but I remember when he also did it he's done it for a number of communities including Barry was Barry works so it was before you were here it well Barry was while I was there and then we came when we came here I'm pretty sure it was while Ashley was here just been trying to pick my brain it's your action item and our action item is to pull themes from the committee goals and put them in bullet points no and not too many barb I know so we each kind of bring them to the meeting in July okay but can we circulate them to the entire group sure just don't reply with substantive feedback right don't say nice nice job yeah don't do that no okay no comment received just reply to the one person yes all right do I have a motion to approve the meeting minutes from May 13 just from cross out from after goal our goal is for the city to eliminate their reliance on fossil fuels and just take out eventually because I mean these are goals right so this is to eliminate it's reliance on yep it's city is right okay people with good grammatical skills used to writing zoning regulations why do I'm avoiding the why do we have to hire somebody right make sure it's see the same word and in one sentence yeah all right any other clarifications okay the minutes with that edit are approved so the final item on our agenda which I've written all over it's to adjourn	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6_BCR3R-wg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution -

So please take the time to check out the other videos on this channel. Please share them. There's so much widely unknown info here that can really help anybody. And it's free. So bonus, without further ado, the most requested video over the entire past that I have had this channel. I want to know. Tell me. I'm ready. I want to know my fitness journey. How did I lose weight? How did I lose acne? Lose water retention? Fix my cellulite? Fix IBS? Get rid of eczema and psoriasis? Fix my anxiety and panic disorder? How did I clear all of that? Well, let's go. So those things I mentioned were what I grew up with. Horrible PMS, eczema, psoriasis, acne, irritable bowel syndrome, lots of digestive problems in general, a lot of bloating, a lot of gas, and anxiety and panic to top it all off. I had inflammatory issues. One thing I find people aren't generally aware of is that any kind of bulging in between the pubic bone and the belly button, so more so below the belly button, is inflammation 99.9% of the time. I was full of cellulite. Couldn't lose weight. I was never seriously overweight, but I had extra weight that I just wasn't able to lose. I was always just squishy and full of water retention. So what happened? Well, I honestly, as silly as it might sound, I never considered that I might be able to have a bikini body or be acne-free. You know, I was looking at these girls in magazines thinking, well, that's just not me, and that's cool. You know, body positivity, I loved myself, thought I did, didn't. We're gonna get to that. But anyway, I just thought the body that we have is the body that we have. I didn't understand about diet or anything. So then I started dating a lovely guy who told me that I could have the body of my dreams. He was into bodybuilding. I really wanted a bikini body. I remember, this was around the time when Dukes of Hazard with Jessica Simpson came out, and I remember looking at a magazine thinking, man, that would be my ultimate dream. So he says to me, that's okay. It's easy. It's just mad. Burn more calories than you put in, and you'll lose weight. Okay. What? Is this the holy grail? That secret was very true. But here's what happened. I didn't understand at this time about nutrition and all of that. And so for me, it was like, okay, I'm gonna go to the gym in the mornings, and I'm gonna... I tracked all of my food. And in the day before apps, there was no such thing as apps back then. So what did I do? I had to really focus and add up on paper or in the notes section on my old school Nokia or whatever phone I had. Every calorie in everything I consumed. I made sure that I didn't eat more than 1200 calories max in a day. Is butter a carb? And that I was burning way more than that. Yeah, I lost a lot of weight. I lost a lot of fat. My skin issues got worse. My acne got worse. My panic and anxiety was off the charts. It was horrible. But in the meantime, I was now going to school for holistic health and nutrition. And so I was learning about nutrition and how to nourish the body. I was learning that it was Hitler, who was the pioneer in figuring out calories. How many calories did a person need to just barely survive? Which is horrifying, I realize. But turns out 1200 calories is starvation mode for a woman. An average woman's body takes anywhere between 1400 and 2000 calories a day to maintain life, to maintain things like walking to the car, carrying groceries. You burn calories when you sleep. You really need to be eating enough calories. So I was eating less than what my body was using to just keep me alive. So never mind nourishing myself, never mind putting on proper muscle. Oh my goodness. I was so emaciated at one point. I remember my mom telling me that I looked like a bobblehead. My head was just too big for my body. And because I was generally unhappy, I was getting more stressed. I was, you know, more depressed, more anxious. I drank a lot. And I even remember before I knew about food, I'd be like, oh, liquid calories. I'm just going to pee it out, whatever. But no. So all of that weight rebounded. I was never too much overweight, like I said, but I was a sweet little chunk. And I thought, what the hell? But now I have learned way more. And so skipping over a bunch of stuff, I did end up with an eating disorder in the end. It got so bad I would cancel plans that involved food. I would make sure I was eating, you know, just enough. I was making sure I was eating all negative calorie foods, like veggies and greens and fruits. Your body takes more calories to process those than what they contain in them. So not only was I only eating 1200 calories, I was counting all of those foods as those calories when they're invisible to the body. It just big mistake, big, huge. I have posted a link below to the video about my eating disorder experience. I'm not going to get into that. The video is there. If you want to check it out, please go ahead. I'm very transparent about it. Side note, if you're having a bad relationship with food, please get professional help. Game changer, life changer, success maker. Anyway, so then, etch a sketch. Let's just start over. You know, I have gone to post-secondary school for holistic health for eight years. I had a lot of health info under my belt. I decided to do it properly. I put on some sweet muscle. I lost a bunch of fat. I never wanted to be one of those really low fat percentage kind of people. I don't mind having a healthy amount of fat on my body. It really does make my mind happier. But anyway, how did I do it? I started focusing on the content of what was in my food, not the calories. And I don't track calories in macros now. I maintain a totally healthy weight. If I want to see my ads, I just avoid some extra carbs. I avoid anything that creates water retention. Boom, they're there. I enjoy myself. I have whole cheat days, cheat meals. It doesn't matter. As long as you're maintaining a healthy lifestyle to an 80-20% ratio, so 80% of the time, you're nourishing yourself optimally and you're being healthy 20% of the time, you can do whatever you damn well, please. And your body's not really going to notice the effects of that as long as it's not a binge. A binge is very unhealthy for your hormonal balance and all of that. So just try not to binge, but allow yourself a cookie if you want one. Allow yourself a whole plate of pasta. Don't mind if I do. Unless, of course, you have an issue like celiac disease or whatever, don't be too strict because you might not be that happy. So I moved to BC. I opened up a holistic health clinic in a yoga studio there and I was 100% healthy for a lot of that time. I realized I wasn't too happy with that either. I wanted more of a balance. Balance is key. So I maintained a balance. Balance good. Everything good. What I did and do now is I focus on fruits and vegetables and meats. The carbs that I like to ingest are wheat and gluten-free oatmeal, rice, quinoa, anything that's clean, whole grain, and gluten-free. I am not celiac, but I do notice gluten does increase my anxiety. It makes me bloated. It packs on the water retention. Anytime I want to drop weight and water retention real fast, all I do is cut out gluten and dairy. You'd be amazed at the results. Try it out yourself. Just try for three weeks. In this day and age, it is beyond easy to avoid gluten and dairy. It's beyond easy. The substitutes out there that you can eat in place of those are amazing. I remember when I started that diet, it was like cardboard if you didn't want to eat gluten. Now it's fine. There are also recipe hacks you can use for anything literally. That became a huge hobby of mine. I started hacking recipes. If you want to see more videos on recipes that I do hack so that they're optimally healthy, but they feel like complete treats, please comment below and I'd be happy to hack anything. I haven't been stumped yet that I can recall so far. You're getting your wishes. Maybe that's a challenge for you. And I started noticing that really what was going on with me on the outside was coming from the mind. And I know it seems so obvious for that to be the case, but you really need to look at the why behind why you want to lose weight. Because for me, it had a grounding on how other people saw me. I was so concerned with what other people thought and trying to be cool and trying to be attractive to people. And so I wasn't doing it for the right reasons. You need to be doing this for you, whether you want to be healthy or lose weight. Make sure you're doing it for you. These days when I get a client coming to me saying my husband or my wife is making me do this, I will not treat them because it will not work. It's going to cause a lot of stress. They're going to rebound and everyone is unhappier for it. So please, please, please take a minute to focus on the why behind why you want to lose weight. What is it about a six pack abs that you want so badly? And a lot of the times it does boil down to how other people are seeing you, but why about that even? I'm the eternal three-year-old with myself. I want to know why everything. Once I got clear on that, I started doing a lot more internal examination into my mind and just seeing what did make me happy. What didn't make me happy. We don't have a stable sense of what we're worth. And secondly, we don't have a secure hold on our own values or judgments. I was busting my ass working out. Was it something I enjoyed? No. Having come to know ourselves like this, we will be a little less hungry for praise. We will have learned the vital art of both knowing and befriending who we really are. So I started finding ways to work out or move my body that felt really good to me. Switch it up, do some dancing if that's what you like. I like heavy weight lifting. I like high intensity intervals every now and then, not all the time, but just do what feels good to you in the moment and try to stay away from doing anything because you feel like you have to. Oh, I know I could be there, but I didn't really have death penciled in on my schedule today, so think I'm gonna pass. I was so hard on myself feeling like I had to this, that, and the other thing. Pretty sure wall balls and bear crawls ain't how I'm going out. You don't. Tell you one thing, I'd rather catch my pinky toe on a bed frame than a big, hot day at a crossfit. I ain't doing it. You're doing this for you and hopefully to make yourself feel healthy and feel happy. So really, yeah, not having enough education at the beginning. I just went completely skinny, completely obesity, no muscle. I was an awesome version of skinny fat, bobblehead, whatchamacallit, rebound, gain a lot of weight, but at that time, getting my education built up, figuring out the why's in my mind behind what I wanted and then implementing those into my lifestyle. I focused on breathing. Those are what need to be balanced 80-20 to reach your goals. If you have any questions or you want to know anything else about me, there is also an about me video posted below.

Project Work Skills is an employability program designed by AGO Foundation to equip undergraduate, interstitial institutions across Nigeria with workplace readiness skills and basic digital skills. The project addresses United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by ensuring students receive their needed education to enable them to secure decent jobs, thereby ensuring economic growth post-graduation. The project is targeted at final year students as well as students in India, penultivated their interstitial institutions all over the country. So right now I have the executive director of the Foundation, Tolu Washi Olami, joining me right now to discuss further. Good morning to you, Tolu. Many thanks for joining us on Business Insights. Good morning, Justin. Thank you for having me. Yeah. In my intro, I said over 70% of a Nigerian population falls below the age of 30. It is really very interesting to understand that we have such population and yet we are not actually optimizing it because the issue of youth unemployment is rising by the day. How do you react? I mean, thank you Justin. And this is one big, I mean, I would say pandemic. So to say, I mean, it's hitting us real hard. And this is largely because like I've always said, we have left the onions or we have left the duty of job creation and job promotion to the government alone, right? Meanwhile, the private sector employs a lot more than the government. But us living into the government means that we expect the government to be able to, so we're not looking in the right direction, right? We're not building skills that fits what the private sector requires, right? So which is what the misfit and what has caused the imbalance that we've experienced over time, right? Oh yes, there's job shortage due to economic issues, but I mean, it can be better. And I think in the days ahead, it will be better. Okay, because what you said right now is that these young people graduate from schools, yet they don't have the set skills that are required to helping them get employed? Yes, yes. So bigger than unemployment, I mean, or one of the main costs of unemployment is unemploymentability, right? Talent's not matching the required, the required requisite to be able to get into the job. So it is difficult for these employers to absorb these people because you don't fit into what we want, right? Employers measure productivity, right? How well are you able to do this job productively? Remember that the essence of us creating or starting a business in the first place is profit, right? What does your skill, would you be able to match up to this, right? But a lot of people lack all of that. I mean, and skills like critical thinking, problem solving, right? People would say, when I get there, they would teach me, right? Oh yes, when you get there, they teach you. But unfortunately, a lot of people still just do just what they have taught them and not add a bit of initiative to it. A lot of people lack communication skill. In fact, I know companies that have gone down because of lack of communication, I mean, amongst its members. So these employability skills are really, really tough. I mean, I've made it really tough for young stars to get into the workplace, which has created the white gap. So we've tried to hire for a few people a few times. I realize that people would say, don't worry. All the people have interviewed. I can't find anyone. I would increase the salary of people who are in at the moment. Give them more tasks to do. I give them more tasks to do instead of bringing in more people. So you see that people in organizations are being overworked and there are people outside who don't find jobs. Okay. I once intended one of your employability project skills in the University of Lagos. I noticed that you actually had to take this campaign to campus as it is. Why is it important that the syllables or maybe the curriculum of tertiary institutions should be maybe revamped but say so that young people would actually have this requisite skills that we are talking about. Okay. I mean, so thanks, Justin. So this, I think, sits largely with the government and the bodies, right? I hear that the curriculum have been updated, right, so certain level. Again, the question would ask is, do we have the right tools to work around the implementation of this new curriculum, right? Because mind you, this new curriculum would not just have to do with employability, right? It has to do across board. So for the guys in communication, then use of smart boards and all of that now. So do we have like the required tools to be able to carry on this new curriculum? Now, what a lot of schools have now done, like I mean so many schools have done it, is to now infuse a center for entrepreneurship or infuse entrepreneurship into the curriculum, right? So how do we now deliver on this to say, oh, you're not bringing entrepreneurship. What we now just do at entrepreneurship is just training them how to start business and run business, right? Are we teaching them how to have conversation with customers, right? Knowing that customer is king. Now, this is communication skill, right? Oh, yes. So bring your idea. First, how do people even come up with ideas? Critical thinking, problem solving, you see a problem. How do you identify problems? So all of this, right? I think that the best model, instead of saying, oh, revamp the curriculum would be to partner with the private sector and bring in the private sector guys to take real life kiss around entrepreneurship, around business and around work, right? Bring in the private sector, have them tell these people, tell the students what they will be facing when they come out there. And I mean, I think it will solve the problem a whole lot. I'm not sure it's certainly a curriculum issue when it comes to around employability. I think it's a firm synergy between the workplace and the academic place, right? The academia and the workplace. Having a solid handshake will then, so you bring in people who have succeeded in the workplace and say, okay, so I mean, bring in HRs and say, oh, come, tell our students what they will be facing when they go out there. How will they cross this hurdle? How do they attend interviews, right? I mean, so you can imagine someone who didn't do presentation in university, and you ask them to come and tell the interviews. People mess up a lot of times, right? An interview. So we need to be able to have that handshake, I mean, and even beyond the curriculum. Okay. So Eva, I have to put it differently. Are you saying that youth entrepreneurship is the panacea to the issue of the unemployment issues that we have in the country right now? Oh, yes. So I mean, youth entrepreneurship is one solid one. Now, you see what you see that there is an opera in the number of young people that have that moved into the labor market, right? Now, a large number of students start their businesses while they are in the university. Okay, true. Right. How do we then support the students to be able to take these businesses forward such that they are able to hire people from their classes? Now, so you can imagine a class of 300, right? We have 20 entrepreneurs who now hire two, two people from their class to join them on this business. So it means that we have about 60 people from that class who already have jobs and they can push that and that can move forward. So we're just having to deal about 240 people, right? And then other people can then absorb them as it is, right? So youth entrepreneurship is a solid way to work around the, I mean, unemployment scourge that we think, I mean, we're currently facing. Okay, well said now. But if you look at it over the years, the government has come out with different sort of plans and policies to help tackle the issue of unemployment. There was you weighing those empire, there are a whole lot of them, but most of the times they were never really workable. And, you know, so what would you really say has really gone wrong? And what more should the government been doing in ensuring that youths actually make the most of entrepreneurship development and also be their own bosses? Oh, okay. Yes. So we play politics with this conversation, right? And that's to be able to win the interest of young people from time to time. And we just play politics with those things. So there's been several initiatives and I would not hit any government hard for bringing out another initiative after the previous one. But what I would always ask and what I've always asked the government would always do is to do a proper M&E, an evaluation of the previous project and see where it did not went wrong, where it did not succeed, where it went wrong, what happened and then build on the lessons learned from the last one. Now, one of the least things that a business needs to survive is money. True. Right. So from all of what we've seen around what the government have designed over time is looking for ways to move money and just, oh, putting money, right, which is very, very, which is very, very sad. If we can actually be truthful with this model, help these people, and that's why entrepreneurship in university is very, very important. Not just in university, in tertiary institution is very important. So from when you're in school, you understand structure, you understand business processes. In fact, as you're going on interviews to go talk to an employer, you already understand that I am a potential employer. I know what the employer is looking out for and I'm seeing what the employer is looking out for. Right. So that solves the big problem of having issues that are having programs that are not successful. Do a total M&E work with institutions around entrepreneurship. How would you be able to do this, this? How can you move your business from this point to this point? Oh, you sell, you sell cakes, cupcakes in your hostels. How can it become a large confectionary store? Work with students around all of this. Then once you've seen a quite a gain traction, put money in the hands of people whose business have been successful, right? Let there be a reinvestment and a refunding model to say, oh, if you do well, you can come back, right? Those models work. Not just one off model, like the matches, the bonds off and you throw the matchstick away. Let there be a reinvestment model. Let people see that, oh, you're interested in them. Now that we just put you in, people apply to 2 million, you give all of them to 2 million. Most of you are just going to buy cars. Some of you just go rent houses. Some of you just go live life with the money. Nobody would ask me. And indeed, nobody would ask. Let there be a penalty for you wasting taxpayer money, right? Let there be a penalty for you wasting taxpayer money. I mean, also because we don't have data in this country. So you don't know who has collected it before. Who is coming back to collect it? So we just keep pushing it out there. Well, yes, I mean, I think that government trying to do this is a really amazing one. But they are consulting companies that can be partnered with to do a proper M&E and do a proper process management around the programs. All right. It is still a business insight and plus TV Africa. My guest is said to Luwashi Olania. We are looking at the issue of tackling news unemployment through entrepreneurship. But he's still with me. We'll take a quick break. We'll come back and talk more about what youth can do to actually better their lot in terms of moving up skill in their businesses. And again, there is something for my dream. It's some sort of exchange program that is in the works. So we'll talk about all of that when we return from this quick break to join us again. All right. Welcome back. It's still business insight and plus TV Africa. We're looking at entrepreneurship development on the show this morning. And Luwashi Olania is my guest. Thanks for staying with me. Thank you so much. All right. You talked about the issue of funding, which is like the bane of most people or startups, people who just want to be their own boss. But haven't gotten funded. What would you advise them to do in the first most times that we hear that small business is filled in the first five years? What would you advise them to do to actually stay in business? Okay. I mean, so, so a few times that like I said to young people, the life of the organization is a young is other people who work in your organization. I mean, so you don't have anybody working in your organization. You don't have an organization in the first place is to invest and build the same and build invest in the human capital of the organization, right? Find the right team that works and ensure that this team building a sustainable culture, right? So people do what they should do. There's a process, right? You continue this process. You fine tune this process. It becomes better that you've built a system. You built an organization. And then if you put money, the money won't waste at that time, right? If you put money, the money won't waste. And that's like the very first thing and show that you build a solid structure. You build a solid system that can take the company another 10 years. Okay, fine. That's a very good one. In our pre-chat just before we got on the studio here, you were talking about a program designed for young people. They could have some sort of exchange with the Western world and tell us about it and how people can actually benefit from this. You tell me that it is free? Well, yes. So we've just partnered with, I mean, so Ego Foundation, I just partnered with Queens University, I mean, in Canada. And the program is to open up young people, particularly students, to entrepreneurship opportunities. So we have a curriculum, you walk through the curriculum. I mean, successful candidates, people who work through curriculum stand at a chance of getting a whole lot of potential extract programs and potential funding from the program. It is absolutely free, right? But then it's open to students. And like I said earlier, we are looking off of the best ways to create opportunities for young people to be able to gather as much knowledge. I mean, knowledge is power, right? So once you have knowledge, then you can do a whole lot, right? To be able to get knowledge. So Queens University has opened up the curriculum to us in this partnership. And we were looking out for people, young people, as much as possible, apply for this. So anybody can just apply? As long as there are students? As long as there are students, oh, you can apply. I mean, you're an entrepreneur, walk through the curriculum. I mean, at the tail end of it, there's a pitch. You can get to pitch your businesses. I mean, you can also, I mean, start at the chance of like getting into an exchange program where you do like the second phase of the program. But I mean, it's a really, really robust program. So everything is done online? Everything is done online. And I'm hopeful that, I mean, once in a month, we have like card jobs where we like, I mean, have that conversation, like engagement session with participants to be able to ask questions, get feedback and all of that. It's a really, really robust, I mean, program that we're hopeful that young people can actually take advantage of this and we can like use this for national growth. Okay. So young people, there is an opportunity for you to actually make the most of it. It is absolutely free. You can get to have an exchange program. It says Queens University, you call it? Yes. Okay. So there's a whole lot and you can also pitch your business and who knows just where you might get the necessary support that you need to obscure your business. But just before we go, the last thing, last word from you, for someone who is actually a businessman, a young person. And because of government's policies, issues of stability or instability as per today, there is a policy tomorrow it's been removed. And right now they are having issues in staying in business and they don't know where to turn to. What would your advice be for the person who is struggling in business? Okay. I mean, so first, at this time, globally, you are struggling in business. Everyone is, yes. In Nigeria, we are struggling in business. So, I mean, that's what I like to note. And what I said to people over time, particularly around this economy, is to keep your costs low, keep the business active, but keep your costs low, right? And then, so what we've seen over time is that the ground level up at the end of the day. So you see that you're unable to purchase this. Somehow, somehow the ground, because we've seen that over the last eight years, too. Yes, some companies have closed up. Some have a lot of pivoted, but then you can only pivot into, I make chain chain before, but now I'm now making kicks, right? Or I'm now making plantain chips, because flour importation is a lot more expensive, so I'm unable to make chain chain. But then for plantain chips, right? Plantain is readily available. So it's about the same, right? So keep your costs low, look out for the best way to pivot your business, or to move your business into all that spaces and all that segment. But basically, keep your costs low, like at this time, I would advise that. Also, because recession is a hit in the world, people are heavy, I mean, people now have lesser purchasing power, right? So, but keep your costs low. Most likely you will be able to service a lot more people over time, and then see how business can scale. Thank you so much, the Lord, I appreciate your time. Thank you so much for having me. All right, as we go on the show to tackle the spate of youth unemployment, a group, enterprise growth, and opportunities, AGO Foundation has trained university students on the requisite skills they need to be employable. Rising from its project work skills at the University of Lagos, the organizer, Tolua Sholaneo, says the program will prepare participants for the world of entrepreneurship. I'll leave you with details in this report. I am Justin Akadone, I'll see you again next time. Bye for now. The nation's higher educational institutions equip graduates with hard skills, while neglecting their development of employability skills, which are core for transitioning into the labor market, as well as for workplace productivity. The lack of these skills in graduates keeps them in the pool of the unemployed, no matter their degree of certification. Now, Executive Director AGO Foundation, Tolua Sholaneo, says this project aims to equip participants with the right skillset for employment, and also prepare them for the world of entrepreneurship. A good number of young people are currently not employable, and this is because they lack the basic skills like critical thinking, problem solving, those skills that can help them perform in the labor market, so employers are not getting what they want from them. Unfortunately, they're able to employ them. After the flag of this project was setting up mentoring and coaching centers across different institutions, where students are able to speak to coaches and are able to have continuous career development sessions so that it doesn't just end here. One of the unique aspects of this training is to provide access to jobs for selected participants and also expose them to the realities of the workplace. Employability is an important part of our economic growth, because when the people of the nation or the society are employed, productivity is increased as a company, I mean as a country, and the GDP of the country also tries on productivity. A way forward is for people to actually consider a lot of capacity building trainings. The four walls of an academic institution is not going to provide all the kind of knowledge and skills you need. You have to self-develop, self-train yourself through different taking parts in trainings, capacity building and the like. There are several causes of graduate unemployment in Nigeria, including an inelastic labor market to absorb the turnover some of the participants share their thoughts. Still by skill acquisition, because most of the like most companies now I don't know put that English like they don't really want to employ more because technology is really taking over over lots of jobs now. With the help of writing a good CV because majority of us I think the reason why we are not seeing good jobs is because of not like you can't write good CVs. So with this program now so they are teaching us how to write good CVs on how to get good jobs. Another way to address the challenge of employability skill induced employment is to incorporate the learning of these skills in the curriculum of higher education.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6Y11Atm5JQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It has been confirmed as genuine by national governments across the world. This message has been composed by consensus of the O5 Council, who represent the SCP Foundation. For those who are not aware of our existence, the SCP Foundation is a secret organization dedicated to the containment and study of anomalous phenomena, including unusual creatures, events, items and other assorted phenomena. The SCP Foundation has upheld its mission statement of securing, containing, and protecting for over 100 years. Over the last two hours, flowers have bloomed across approximately 90% of the viable land surface of the planet. The weather has cleared globally, and their pollution has significantly decreased. Human inclinations towards violence have also decreased substantially. The signs indicate that the end of the world is imminent. Evidence collected from other universes demonstrates that the cessation of all life on Earth will occur at Mach T-20 four hours after the blooming of flowers in this manner, meaning that life on Earth will end at noon tomorrow. The SCP Foundation urges the population to remain calm, though there is reason to believe that the anomalous nature of the blooming flowers will keep humans globally calm and disinclined from violence. It has been an honor to be of service to humanity. To all Foundation employees and our allies across the world, such as the Global Occult Coalition, Unusual Incidents Unit, and Horizon Initiative, we have had our differences, but it was a pleasure to fight alongside you. We have secured, contained, and protected. Goodbye and thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6ubpToLkwA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCM0sSUOn8mNRi90vA_IJ8lw	Innovations for equity in smallholder payments for ecosystem services conference: session 2	Edited highlights of the presentations and discussions from the second session of the IIED-hosted Innovations for equity in smallholder payments for ecosystem services (PES): bridging research and practice conference. The conference, held at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh on 21 March, focused on exploring the latest thinking on how to make schemes that compensate protectors of natural resources fairer and more inclusive. Session two concentrated on new research to improve understanding of participants' preferences for different PES payment formats. Further details of the conference and IIED's work with PES: http://www.iied.org/conference-innovations-for-equity-smallholder-pes-highlights. Shaping Sustainable Markets: http://shapingsustainablemarkets.iied.org/.	[ "Payments for ecosystem services", "PES", "Edinburgh", "Royal Botanic Gardens", "IIED" ]	2014-06-23T11:05:52	2024-04-18T17:46:52	789	v6tmfoVNQpQ	In 2011, EcoTrust conceived an idea of having sustainable forest management with this particular community and this is the time when we as researchers came in to see how sustainable forest management, which was geared towards improving local livelihoods, could be used as a pilot in looking at how red could be used in this particular trials. During this time, they were helped to the communities to begin to become a formal institution where they started getting very formal and making a constitution, defining what they are all about, and EcoTrust did help these. So they actually had to go through the demarcation of the resource and also trying to get a land title. As I speak today, they have a constitution and I think they are properly registered now. But as we got into this particular community, we are very interested in looking at the socioeconomic characteristics and most of the households practice subsistence farming. This is farming for mainly household use and the major crops were basically tobacco rice and maize and tobacco being the main cash crop. And this was right as far back as 2011 because 2012, as we speak today, tobacco has been banned in this area. So it's no longer a major commercial activity, which also will have an implication on the rate. So clearing of land for cultivation and extraction of poles for both subsistence and commercial activities were the major drivers of deforestation and forest degradation. Most of our focus group discussions were disaggregated by sex and this comes from the culture where we come from that the women hardly speak out in the presence of the men. So for you to be able to capture what the women feel and how they relate to some of these aspects, you needed to put them in different groups. And this is where it gets interesting because most of the people were clearing for us to be able to have bigger areas for agriculture. The women preferred package five where you had agriculture. The men preferred package three where we did not have agriculture. You name it. There are quite a multiple benefits that we get from marine and coastal ecosystems. If we look at fisheries alone, particularly in developing countries, they are the major source of food. In some countries they are probably the main or the only source of animal protein. Particularly in developing countries we're talking about as high as 75% for instance in places like Sierra Leone or Senegal. Now the interesting question to raise is the government is providing some compensation to local households. But as we saw earlier, it's a pretty much top down approach where government is providing some amount of rice and alternative income generated activities and some cash. Is that really what the local people want? From our initial findings, what we could find was there was more preference for rice as opposed to cash obviously because we're talking about some of the most marginalised sectional society in Bangladesh. So rice is a staple food in Spain, very important component for their daily life so there's very high preference for rice. The other interesting finding that we found in this study is the divergence that we observed between the preference of these fishers and the compensation package that they are provided by the government. A classic example is they handed out sewing machines to women-led households. Of course they had a very positive intention to the government, they wanted to help these women and so they distributed these sewing machines but they don't even know how to use these sewing machines. So the obvious reaction was they just sold the sewing machines in the market and they used the cash for some other purpose. So this shows the inefficiencies that may be created as a result of the divergence between the preference of these communities and what's being provided by the government. There's an obvious sort of inclusion and exclusion error as well which means that some people are not meant to be included, we're being included and some people are meant to be part of the scheme are not being included. So there's that sort of exclusion and inclusion error that needs to be fixed. When you give up rice, rice is the most preferred food for male subjects in an average house in the Royal Bangladesh. So when you're giving up rice that means you're benefiting the men more than the women. Women traditionally normally eat in Bangladesh at a floor for instance which is not highly preferred grain by male subjects in Bangladesh. So that also raised the issue of intra-household distributional issues as opposed to just looking at between households which I think is quite interesting. So we need to look beyond the fishermen and look at other segments of the site to whom might be affected by this sort of scheme as we talk about the distributional implications of these kind of schemes. We are testing what's called the conservation auction in one of our watersheds in Indonesia. We offer a conservation contract to the farmers and then who beats the lowest will be the winner. Yeah, as this auction actually we want to see how we can allocate the conservation contract more efficiently. And here in this payment for some services so we consider the farmers as the land managers. So we consider them as the decision makers on how they will cultivate, how they will manage your land. We also have some research in eCraft. ECraft stands for the World Agroforestry Centre and we also see how this agroforestry system can provide and maintain the watershed function. If the sedimentation is high for sure it will give them more cost in cleaning their filter. Then this is how we try to develop our PS mechanism. While we hope that by reducing the sedimentation in the upstream area so the water or the hydropower company can reduce their cost and can save some of their money as the incentive for farmers for doing good management practices. Actually it's not that simple to start in Sumer Jaya because there are many other problems such as the land conflict. As you see that 50% of the area are consisted of the protected forest by the state. And while on the other hand there are also many migrants coming to this area particularly from Java. First for sure we want to make sure that this is a participatory approach. So we engage the farmer in determining the hotspots of erosion, what are the problems within the watershed. And also talk with them what type of contract they would like to see and then what type of solution they provide to reduce sedimentation. So here we would like to bring the local knowledge into the contract as well. It is our area in the color and in green. It is a priority area for the next. And it is our buyer for the next. We still have the Krakata Tita industry and we have a new buyer for this year's as high as chemical is the chemical company and government. We need 500 billion per year if we pay 3000 hectares. But until today we cannot pay all our area because we have only until 2019, 180,000 US dollars. The major quantity of the fishermen in this area are illegal. We don't have all the information together and it's difficult for the government to make decisions without writing information. In the case of Bangladesh, they have enough knowledge of the chain value of the species. This is very interesting because in our case we don't have enough information. We know of the market, we know that it's very important for our country. But we don't know exactly the number of fishermen or their livelihoods, conditions or the conditions of the market. In our case, if we compare with the payment for environmental services program for the forestry program, now we are competing with other resources in the country. And we need to justify every year that we need the money for that because the education program needs money, the other parts infrastructure in our country is very important and maybe one of the main issues right now and we need to compete with that. PES or other types of instruments in marine ecosystems is really tricky because it brings up the big problem of the commons up to the front. It's a huge problem in there but also monitoring which always is our Achilles heel in all of these small holder projects. So when you go to visit the households, chances are that the responses will be made by household heads who according to that survey would be 82% male. So you wouldn't get the views of the female. When you're implementing a project like this, it really calls for adaptive management. So you have only principles set in stone. The rest changes as you go along. And for us it is not a choice making process, so to speak, you put these permutations and whatever the best guess the highest vote is what you apply. It is a negotiation process. So Sinema Gulcawcha is one of the leading driver of deforestation. So it does not make sense not to support Sinema Gulcawcha. However, Sinema Gulcawcha will not be sustainable if you do not create a market linkage to it. So what happens is that the information that comes out of the focus group discussions is not about choices but it informs if you are to invest in these incentives. What are the factors that you need to consider and therefore what would the interventions be. When they are beginning, their needs are very basic. It's about access to water, to food, to building homes. But once they satisfy those needs, then they will grow to the next needs. But also you begin with having very limited resources. So as you design the project, you keep identifying, okay now we are getting money from carbon payments, maybe we should access water credits as well. Then donor funding, because the needs are going to be changing and one needs to come up with ways of enabling the communities to, the needs will be changing but also the opportunities will be changing. And also your understanding of what more you can do with the communities. Then we realise that actually you can use your carbon agreement as collateral for a loan. So we went into a negotiation with the bank where the farmers can use their carbon agreements as collateral for loans. It's important of how this money from carbon, from cash in into ecosystem services is more likely to work if you can understand really how this feeds into existing value chains. So what's the point in trying to add productivity if you can't really capitalise on that because there's no market. When you go into a community as a researcher you already have your perceived minds of what to expect but when you get there it's pretty difficult.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6tmfoVNQpQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

With me, Michael Houston, and it's certainly been another volatile, tempestuous week. You can run out of adjectives to describe some of the moves that we've seen this week. In fact, this month, if we look at the way equity markets have moved, there has been evidence of some divergence between what US markets have been doing. This week we've seen US markets hit seven month lows. On Monday we saw the FTSE 100 hit a one month low. Yesterday FTSE 100 was able to reverse all of its losses for the week. But has now since then slipped back into negative territory for the week as it closed the end of last week. Around about 7500 and it's trading slightly below that now. So there's an awful lot for markets and investors to consider obviously there's tensions on the Russia-Ukraine border. At the moment they continue to simmer ever so slightly underneath the surface, helping to push Brent crude prices up to $91 a barrel. Earlier this week we've got, or we've had, the US Federal Reserve latest meeting where, despite the fact that the Fed didn't announce any changes to its current program of asset purchases, it will continue to add to its balance sheet all the way till March. But the fallout from Powell's press conference was quite something to behold. To be quite honest, where do you start? No surprises around the statement, decision-keep, monetary policy on hold. Press conference really saw the heat quickly come out of the mid-week rally. Certainly if we look at the daily candles on this FSC 100 chart, you can certainly see it's been a week of two-halves, very sharp declines in the first part of the week, consolidation. And then Wednesday, Thursday, we saw a move higher. Let's start with the NASDAQ because I think the NASDAQ is particularly interesting, given how we started the week and where we are now. I mean, this is Monday, so we had a seven-month low on Monday. We pretty much reversed all of that to actually close modestly higher on the day. And on the Tuesday we came crashing lower again. Wednesday up, making high for the week, and then came crashing back down the following day. I mean, this sort of volatility, these sort of price swings. On successive days, I might add, we haven't seen this sort of volatility on US markets. I'm reliably informed, according to Bloomberg, since the 1980s, and that is really quite something. If we look at US short-term rates, we can also see that the two-year yield has gone this week alone from just below 1% to 1.2%. And this month alone has gone from 0.7% to 1.2%. So you've gone 50 basis points in the space of a month, which when you consider for how long the two-year yields were doing nothing for most of last year, it's quite something when you look at that chart. So I think what Powell was particularly good at doing on Wednesday was keeping his options open. We are going to get a rate hike in March. That much seems almost certain. He didn't rule out a 50 basis point rate hike, but then why would he? He didn't rule out a 1% rate hike either, and he's not going to do that. He passed up the opportunity to rule out any possibility. The good thing about that is it keeps the Fed's options open and rule nothing out, rule nothing in. It wasn't the messages that markets wanted to hear. And in essence, it was the Fed saying to markets, the days of hand-holding are over. The priority now is inflation, and you better get used to it. And that's why we're seeing the moves that we've been seeing notably in bond markets, but less so on the long end. If we look at, say for example, the US 10-year, which used to be very representative of what the Federal Reserve was looking to do over the course of the past few days, we've hit loads of 1.9%, but we weren't able to move above the highs that we saw earlier this month. So even though the Fed was very, very hawkish and people are talking about five rate hikes this year, six rate hikes, seven, what have you, the US 10-year really wasn't affected by any of that. All the movement was in the short end. That's flattening the curve. So long-term interest rate expectations haven't really changed that much. It's just really a question of how quickly the Fed is going to normalise monetary policy going forward. And I think that's a harder thing, I think, for markets to get their heads around. They're not worried about the fact that they're going to get six or seven rate hikes. They're worried about the timeframe of when they're going to get them. I myself think that it's highly unlikely that the Fed will be able to do anywhere near as many as the markets are currently pricing in. But that's just me. So we've had the biggest one-day jump in the two-year yield since March 2020, and yet the 10-year has barely moved. So really, where does that leave us? Well, if we look at this move in the two-year, I mean, it does look really, really stark. But now look at it over five years. And then suddenly it doesn't look as stark as perhaps maybe it was. I mean, if you look at two-year rates in 2018, they're at 3%, or just below. Now they're at 1.2%. So even with rates currently as they are, they are still below the levels that were pre-pandemic. So I think there's an element of markets freaking out. The bigger question is whether or not it's justified in the price action. On a technical basis, some very important things have happened over the course of the past few days. For a start, the known stack is below its 200-day moving average, and the 50-day moving average is starting to roll over. So that in itself is significant. It means that the bias has shifted from buying the dip to selling the rip or selling the rally. That for me I think makes it very, very difficult to articulate a case for continuing to buy the dip when it comes to US markets. We could certainly see a move back to 15,000 on the 200-day moving average. And even with the decent numbers that we've seen this week from the likes of Apple, Microsoft, and obviously we've got Amazon and Alphabet next week, it's going to be very, very difficult to make a case for new record highs for the NASDAQ if the rate trajectory plays out as markets are currently pricing. If we look at the S&P 500, again, it's a similar sort of story. What's significant about this though is that the 200-day moving average is currently acting as resistance when any moves higher. And again, we've hit a seven-month low on the S&P. We've seen quite a bit of volatility. We haven't taken out those seven-month lows despite all of this week's volatility. And even though we've made a new high on the week, these long shadows point to huge degrees of uncertainty as to the future direction of US equity markets. The fact that you're getting these very strong moves to the highs and the lows, but when you strip out the overall direction, there really isn't that much of a change, suggests that there's an awful lot of uncertainty out there. So really, you've got to trade the markets based on that, which means that this level here, the 200-day moving average, which managed to hold the rebound that we saw on Wednesday, is going to be a very key level going forward when it comes to the future direction of US markets. If we look at the Dow, we've got a similar sort of playbook playing out, again, the 200-day moving average. So the 200-day moving average is going to be an area that I'm going to keep my eye out for on any moves higher. As we look at the DAX, the DAX again, 200-day moving average, is continuing to find itself limited by that. What's concerning about this more than anything else is these are starting to roll over a little bit the 50-day, and that suggests that sentiment is starting to turn a little bit negative, but on the plus side, this 15,000-area still looks pretty solid, even allowing for the intraday penetrations lower that we've seen over the course of the past six to seven months. We've seen it here, we've seen it here, we've seen it here. What's important is that we haven't closed below it, and we've held above it here and here. So what we could see is just further volatility within a sideways range, and that's something that could also play out when it comes to the NASDAQ as well. For C100, still looking fairly positive, yes, we broke below 7,400, which obviously was very unwelcome given the fact that we fell to a one-month low, but what was important was that we didn't actually fall significantly below the 200-day moving average, or this broader, stronger support around about here, and now we're back within touching distance of 7,600. Of all of the indexes that we've looked at over the course of this little discussion, is probably most constructive in terms of further upside on the FTSE 100. Why? Well, simply because we haven't made new record highs on it. It is undervalued relative to its peers, and despite all of the concerns about politics in the UK, it is very much an internationally focused index. So when people talk about political risk potentially weighing on UK assets, I tend to park that because that generally tends to be pushing a political narrative and not a financial mark, it's one. And I've got very little time for political narratives when it comes to talking about financial markets. So that's where we are with respect to the FTSE. It still looks constructive, and as such, I see no reason to change my longer term view on that. The dollar's had a good week. It's had an absolute ripper of a week. Posted highest level since June 2020 on the back of the hawkish narrative from Powell's press conference. That's pushed Eurodollar lower. So Eurodollar breaking down the next target on this particular chart here. Well, the next one's 108. Obviously, looking at it from a slightly shorter term point of view, you've got to look at 111 initially. It was around number and then 110. But this breakdown of this trend line here and the breakthrough the lows and this low here in June 2020 suggests that we could well see further losses for the Euro back towards 111 and 110 over the course of the next few sessions. And we do have the European Central Bank rate meeting next week as well. And obviously we have, we have UK, EU flash CPI for January. And that could feed into the narrative that the ECB is not going to be raising rates this year at all, because their argument is that inflation in the Euro area is transitory. And legs significantly behind that of the US. Certainly the first argument I'm struggling with the second argument not so much. Euro sterling continuing to track lower watching paint dry. You need to be patient if you're a euro bear against the pound. But ultimately I still expect that to continue to drift lower. The big level on the upside and only rebounds is 84, 84, 20. So you need to pay attention to that. But certainly in terms of the overall trend, we still remain very much towards the downside. And I really don't expect that to change anytime soon. So very much sell the rally type moves there cable continues to break down. This is a bit of a struggle. This is, this is a little bit of a kin to try to catch a falling knife, which I would discourage anyone to do. Metaphorically and literally, we have continued to drift down. We're now below the 50 day moving average, which is not what I wanted to see below 134 20. That keeps the pressure on the downside, particularly when the dollar is as strong as it is. Obviously we've got the Bank of England meeting coming up this week. And we've also got the European Central Bank rate meeting this week. So those two central bank meetings could have a very big part to play. Not only on the direction of Euro dollar and cable, but euro sterling as well. And I think now will be a good opportunity to talk about those two because I think when we're talking about the Bank of England, we really do need to be cognizant of the fact that they are very unreliable when it comes to forward guidance. And we also need to remember that they did, they did raise the base rate by 15 basis points in December by an 8 to 1 majority, which was a little bit of a surprise given the fact that they chose not to act by a 7 to majority in November. However, like the Fed, it does appear to have been a significant shift in mindset from where they were only a few weeks before. So we can only presume on what prompted the change of heart. I think obviously it's a welcome change from the group think narrative that appears to be becoming increasingly embedded in the economic discourse right now. I think two interventions may well have been crucial in changing the Bank of England's mind. Firstly, the IMF urging the central bank to get on with it. It's surprising it took the IMF to get them to do that and not an inflation rate of an excess of 5%. There you go. This is where we are. We're now looking at RPI at 7.5%, CPI at 5.4% with an expectation on the part of the Bank of England that we're going to hit 6% by April. So this could see another rate rise this week by 25 basis points to 0.5%. Now, you're going to get the howls of anguish from people who say that this won't do anything to curtail the effective supply chain disruptions, blah, blah, blah. That completely misses the point. You can't keep interest rates at current levels forever. I'm not suggesting for one moment that we should be ripping interest rates higher back to 2%, 3% or 4%. And I don't think anyone else is, but you can't leave them where they are and completely ignore the inflation genie indefinitely. You have to try and start to normalize to a more reasonable level of rates at 0.25%. It's not priced in at the moment. The markets are already pricing in higher rates. So a 25 basis point rate hike this week will merely put market rates or base rate where the markets are already pricing it. So really, it's a question of whether or not Andrew Bailey, as governor on the Bank of England, can start confronting the risks that more embedded inflation will have on the UK economy going forward. Now, he's gone on the record as saying that it isn't his job to steer financial markets on interest rates. Sorry, mate. It is. That is your job. It's in your job description. It's your job to communicate to financial markets. And the sooner you get your head around that, the better. The Federal Reserve do it very, very well. ECB probably not so much. But ultimately, he needs to restore the Bank of England's credibility in the eyes of the financial markets. So this week would be another opportunity for him to try and rebuild that credibility. So 25 basis points we could well see come the 3rd of February. Later on, we get the European Central Bank rate meeting as well. And Madame Lagarde will have to defend why she thinks the ECB should keep interest rates currently where they are. So we have 5% free CPI. Now, this week's CPI numbers flash CPI numbers out of the EU could give her cover to basically continue to pedal that narrative because there is an expectation that the annualized numbers for January will fall from 5% in December to 4% in January. The reason for that is because of the one-off effects from last year, which pushed German CPI numbers up by over 2% on the month. And the reason for that was a raft of measures and the reintroduction of VAT after being emergency cut in the wake of the first lockdown, as well as various climate change measures or taxes that boosted German CPI in January. So EU CPI was at a much higher level a year ago than pretty much everyone else. So that means that the jump to this year is likely to be lower in relative terms. Obviously, it will allow the ECB to pedal the narrative that inflationary pressure is transitory. So if you've got import prices or PPI in the various Eurozone countries trending at 25, 30 and 35%, I think everyone knows that's a rather fallacious argument. No change is expected from the ECB, though we could get some indications as to whether or not they could increase their asset purchase program while at the same time is winding down their PEP program. Because their PEP program is due to roll off in March. So we could get some messaging around that and whether it will look at increasing its PEP program to compensate. And that's currently running at 20 billion euros a month. One other thing to keep an eye out for will be how new Bundesbank President Jocham Nagel basically influences the debate over inflation risk, given his warning last month that the ECB needed to be vigilant, given his concern that inflation risks are very much elevated to the upside. So we've got ECB, we've got Bank of England, we've also got US non-farm payrolls. Probably I think the most surprising thing about the payrolls numbers that we've seen in recent months is headline numbers have been very, very weak. The last two months in December we saw 199,000 jobs added, which was well below the 450,000 consensus, and it was also well below the ADP report of 807,000. So in both November and December the number of jobs added has been disappointing, which would suggest to me that even with US employers having to pay up to get people back into the workforce, workers don't appear to be in a hurry to return despite over 10 million vacancies and only 3 million fewer workers. So there appears to be an awful lot more caution about consensus estimates now having been burnt two months in a row. Expectations for the January report for 178,000 jobs to be added and the unemployment rate to remain steady at 3.9%. Again, I'll be keeping an eye out for wages because they were much more resilient in December, they rose 4.7%, which was well above the expectations of 4.2%. So certainly I think wage pressure, a decent wages number could well reinforce the hawkish narrative that we heard from Powell earlier this week. On the company's front, we've got two or three that I've got my particular eye out for, Shell being one of them, Royal Dutch Shell soon to become just Shell. Their numbers in Q3 were a little bit disappointing. If we look at this chart here, we can still see that we're still well below the levels we were in 2020. So there's certainly plenty more upside to go. There's certainly been one of the early winners so far this year with oil and gas prices where they are. And I think that's likely to continue. But I think more than anything, apart from the actual numbers themselves, in Q3 we got calls for the company's breakup from activist investor Dan Loeb's third point group. He appears to be frustrated with respect to the underperformance of the business. And to be quite honest, when you look at that share price chart, it's not really hard to see why, when you look at where they were and where they are. Now obviously they've had to write off an awful lot of assets over the course of the past two years. They've also sold off its Permian Basin business for $9.5 billion. And it'll be really, I think, interesting as to whether or not they've been able to rebound from the disruptions from Hurricane Ida, which cost the business $400 million, as well as higher costs elsewhere. With natural gas prices at record highs in Europe, multi-year highs in the US, shareholders appear to think the company should be doing better. And I would agree with that they should be. Shell management said they expected to see a much better performance in Q4. They better be right. Otherwise we could see third point making a lot more noise than they were in Q3 and could well ramp up pressure on senior management. Shell's Q4 numbers on the third of Feb. Going to be a busy day on the third of Feb Thursday with Bank of England and ECB. So certainly enough to keep everybody's hands full. And then we've got BT Group, another perennial under Performa. Now, since BT reported back in November, the shares have done pretty good. They've done pretty well, pretty good. That's a terrible adjective. They've done pretty well. But they're still below the levels that were in June last year. It's delivered on its cost-saving programs ahead of schedule. Q2 EBITDA came in better than expected. The first half revenues came in at $10.3 billion. Their open reach fiber to premises network has now reached $6 million premises. Bill costs are starting to come down as they become much more efficient in rolling out. And there's been renewed chatter about selling off open reach, which is starting to get a little bit boring and a little bit tiresome. You don't sell off your best performing business. But what you do do is sell off the bits of the business that are low margin and really don't offer an awful lot of value. And that's where BT does appear to be making progress. There does appear to be an agreement in place to sell the BT Sport Channel for around 580 million pounds. Negotiations here are still ongoing. There is interest from other parties. And it'll be very interesting to see whether or not those numbers have been firmed up and they're able to offload that because that is a very deep hole in terms of trying to maintain subscribers at the same time as keeping people hooked. And as we saw from Netflix's results earlier this week, margins in that business aren't getting any easier to maintain. So I think for BT to focus on what it's good at and to leave broadcasting to somebody else is probably the best way forward. So that's BT Sport or BT rather. We've also got Amazon and Alphabet. And Microsoft numbers earlier this week were very good. Azure posted some fairly decent numbers. And again with Amazon they have underperformed considerably over the course of past month or so. Quite a bit lower than they were. And more importantly they've moved below this key support level here. Their costs have gone up hugely. They have been one of the key winners of the pandemic but their costs have gone up massively. I think when we look at Amazon we want to look at their cloud business, web services as a bright spot in Q3. Revenues came in at $16.1 billion and they've been increasing quarter on quarter. They're obviously having to face increased competition from the likes of Microsoft and Alphabet who are also reporting this week. But in terms of Q4 we should see much higher sales. Christmas, New Year, so Thanksgiving and Christmas tends to be a really strong quarter for Amazon in the same way that it is for Apple. So we're expecting to see sales in the region of between $130 billion to $140 billion. But we also need to be cognizant that costs will be an awful lot higher as well. And they warned about that in Q3. They said they're going to be spending an extra $4 billion in this quarter on additional costs. So there's a possibility we might not even see the company make a profit in Q4. And I think that's one of the reasons why the shares have struggled since November. Annual expenses could be in the region of $20 billion and they were originally slated to be at $12 billion at the beginning of the year. Nonetheless, should still be a fairly decent year for Amazon. The bigger question I think for me is whether or not it'll be enough to prevent further declines in the share price. And a similar sort of story for Alphabet, Google. I've seen a similar breakdown in the share price there. For similar reasons really, total revenues have been strong over the course of the past few months. The change in the privacy changes, Google was able to shrug off from Apple, largely because of the fact that most of its business comes from its Android operating system. Revenues from YouTube did see a modest drag because of the iOS changes, but advertising continues to be their key source of revenues coming in well in excess of $50 billion in the last quarter. So still expected to see some fairly decent numbers from Alphabet. Again, keep an eye on costs. It's a recurring theme for a lot of companies. Shouldn't be a big issue for Alphabet, but you never know. So again here, I think there's going to be, there's a good chance now that below the 200 day moving average, we could see further weakness in the share price there. So that I think you'll find is pretty much it for this week. I've probably gone on for a lot longer than I intended to. But don't forget, we've also got the non-farm payrolls webinar on Friday, Friday the 4th of February. So please feel free to join me for that. And I'll cover the numbers as they break as well as take you through the various key chart points of all the key instruments. And in the meantime, I wish you all a great weekend and see you all same time, same place next week.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6hqRC3zWhg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I tried to eject, but we didn't do it. The 560th Flying Train Squadron hosts the Freedom Flyer Union every year here in March at Randolph Air Force Base. We host POWs who've returned from captivity in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War and returned them back to flying service. Back in their early 70s, they returned to flying status on active duty. And now today is mostly a celebration of their service and bring their friends and families to put them back up to in 238, put them in a flight suit and return to flying again with their Air Force friends. The amazing thing is just walking through the hallways and seeing the history of their involvement with the POWs. The significance of the POW cause and the missing inaction cause, the memorabilia, the artwork here behind me is really a testament to the commitment these folks have made on an ongoing basis now for a decade or more to ensure the POWs are not forgotten. So it's really, really impressive what they've done. When you go on an active duty base and realize that even the senior officers are younger than your kids, but it's still fun. The energy is high. There's a commitment to service, commitment to their community. And that's something that I've seen off and on for the past 50 years, even after my time on active duty. So it still is a warming environment to go on a military base. It will be a great memory for me, but it's also important for me to come back and see the message and the history and the commitment of this squad of 560s especially, the commitment they've made over decades to ensure that POWs are not forgotten, that we get this one final mission. And recognition for what we've done is really impressive and greatly appreciated.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6kMMo4XumU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Its a mission getting them from the desktop to my work bench. l take one apart to see what's what and if I can do something about the hum which is audible on all my previous video's.

Listen. That sounds terrible, doesn't it? No, I've listened to this for years. What I normally do is I have the volume on full blast. It cuts it down quite a bit. And I just keep the volume, you know, on this thing. Pretty good, though. Okay. But recently it's just been bugging me more and more and more. There's only a second part today. At least, a bit of funny thing is going to be this side. I need to sort it out. But I'm going to take it apart and we're going to see if we can clear up that horrible buzzing sound because that is really driving me nuts. It's all I can hear in my head at the moment. And it doesn't really matter, you know, even over here. You can still hear it. I've got some other speakers in my bedroom. But I'm going to bring in and I'm going to put in this place while I do all this. But the problem though, God, is it's a mess. There's a lot of cables. You can't really see that very well down there. Because there's none of the light down there. But there's a lot of wires. Even though it doesn't look that bad there, this panel is hiding most of the mess. This is part of the speaker wires. And it's tangled up with this, which comes from the solar panel. There it is. You still can't see any of that. The computer. All cables down there, but they're all tangled up. So I'm going to have to sort of switch all this off, pull this table forward a bit. Just pull it forward, you know, about a foot or something, shift all this stuff out of the way. Put it forward and try and get it back down and back there and untangle it all. Get those speakers out. Put the other ones in. What a fun day. I've got stuff I've got to build over there as well. Get it out today. But I've got to do these speakers because like I said, they're dropping that. I shall come back when I've got them out. And this dad as well. I also wanted to get them out and still keep the computer on. So I can get around where I left off. Now I'm going to go and get the other speakers because these are out. The wires are out. It's a little bit of a tangle. Like I said, I just pulled the table forward to get myself, you know, speaker size at the back. So I get in amongst the cables. My old computer there. I'll say it's old. It's a fourth generation i7. Even though the case, I've had it for, I don't know. It's all metal. It's like a server case. There's so much metal in there. It helps with cooling. And I've probably had it about 18 years. Maybe even a little bit longer. And I'll keep it as well because the door's broken and it will fall off. And there's nothing left in the front there anymore. Just that actual drive there is my operating system drive. You can see it. It's a laptop drive. Probably going to clean. I mean, I do clean it. I take the sides off and clean out the insides periodically. Make sure there's no dust build up. But like I said, there's so much metal to it. It's really, really good for keeping everything cool. So that's what I keep it. I think the case cost me about 60 quid on my first bought it. What will I do with it apart from scrap it? That means all that metal I bought will just go to somebody else to make money from. Yeah, after them. Right, so I'm going to again just bring in my other little desktop speakers. Probably give it a bit of a dust. I want to get a vacuum and just suck out some of this dust from around here. And then so I can put this on. Well, I take these apart and I don't think there's going to be a problem in there. It's going to be in this unit here. I'll get a bit of a better picture on there. 12 watts, I reckon. It's heavy. It's good and heavy. It's a good solid lump. I don't really want to throw it away or anything like that. Even though I've had these for such a long time now. Yeah, it's probably a capacitor or two. But again, I have a look and see what we can do with it. Do you want it back in a minute? Okay, so these are the little Logitech speakers I'm going to put in this place just for now. A bit dusty. But this is something I didn't notice for these. I'm a little listened to this. That's when you first switch them on. That's, you know, we'll just turn the tone to halfway. It does need a clean because as you start turning it gets really stiff. About halfway, it's the stiffest. What a pop. These are still just... I am actually going to leave this like this. I'll put this on this wire. And I'll put it around the back of the monitor. And I'll just pop this speaker basically over here. And I'm just going to leave it like this and pull these out. Clear some space over there. And it hums more out of this speaker, which is the non-amplified side than it does this one. So, as this one's got all the weight in it, and the amplifier, whatever it is, it says it's a 12 watt, 50 hertz, that you can hear. Speaker. So, let's unplug and take it apart. I don't think I'm going to really necessarily need to take this one apart because this is just, you know, wired off there. This one is the one. Looks like the six screws. Hopefully, you're going to be able to get to it. I think that's an input. I didn't realise that was there. Well, that will come in handy. That will come in very handy. Because what I was thinking was I might end up making a couple of elevating some infos and put them in my little mission speakers on my bench here and set them up onto my computer. Which means that all the music that I have on my computer, including the access to the CD drive, even though, well, yeah, it would just make it more convenient for me to be able to play music. And then I could put these on my bench here which will take up less space. Nile it up a bit. There it is. There we go. I shouldn't have done it on the bottom before. Okay. Right. Now, I really need to keep an eye out for capacitors in case there's anything in here. I'm going to disconnect the speaker because it looks like I can. Maybe I can disconnect it. Let me see if I can get a better look. I'm going to take that out of the way. That's that. Let's just have a little look at this. Okay, so it's a 4-ohm speaker. 5 watts. Funny, isn't it? Because on the case it says 12 watts, and it says 12 watts speaker. Okay. Let's not start bishring. But there you go. That's the first. What we've got inside. There's the volume control and headphone jack and the little LED in the power switch. That's good you could do. You can probably just connect these. It's actually worth this kind of number. I'm going to get them out of the way. There's a little recording series. It just says Sony Volume PWB, which I presume would be power board. It's a horrible flux there. I'm going to clean that up with a bit of alcohol. And then here, and then we've got the retract fire. All diodes. There's my fuse. And we've got this cap, which doesn't seem to be terribly bad. You can just slide that out now. You don't have to undo these. You just screw these down here. And these are, they look like, they're just Phillips. That's good. Phillips Crosshead. I don't know what the difference is between the two, but make sure some of you tell me or just give me a thumbs down for the same long thing. Yeah, I bought myself a little helicopter. It's got one of these little Sigma XC5s. Dash 1, the new version. I've also been looking at the Sigma XX8. It's G. That looks pretty cool too. Okay, this is those four screws. I'm going to chuck those in there. They'd be the same as it was. Yeah, they're all exactly the same length. So that's good. Be careful of that. That's good. It's quite a good of a... That's now locked here. That's the amount of sort of space they give you for fracking them out. Now interestingly, look, there's one. There's a shield here. Wow, look at this one. And there's a... Oh, sorry, it's not a shield. It's the heat sink for the chip, for the amplifier chip. I don't know what it is. It's a... Oh, it's a LA4601N. I'll have to have a little look at that up. I'm sure I've got one of these. I'm sure I've seen this in like a TV. So anyway, this is the one online. This is the one out the speakers. I just decided to look in my own collection of PDFs because whatever I've got PDFs is what I've got. And I typed in LA4, and it came up with an LA4282, which is the same thing. It's a 2 channel, but this is 10 watts monolithic linear IC. So it's the same pinout. It's the same everything, except for 10 watts. Sanyo again. The maximum supply voltage is 45 watts on this. Maximum output current, 4 amps. 25 watt dissipation. And so these caps here, probably the ones we're going to need to replace, there's a bunch of little tiny ones here. Just trying to see if I can see anything visually. Oh, my life. These are ours, these caps. Oh, I don't know if you can see in there. They say Alma. I don't know if you can see that. Alma. And they're all Alma. This one in here, I can't fell on. I need to get my microphone mask. There's a single cap in there. I wish I could see what the camera could see properly. The whole drug built. There you go, you can see that now. There's a single cap in there. Let's look at these ones here. Yeah, these are all Almas. Let's see what's on this. Let's try to see what's on these black ones here. SME. I don't know if that means anything to anyone. AC primary area, danger. Danger, danger. Nothing really obvious. It doesn't seem to be any sort of swelling in the caps. There's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 caps. 18 caps. Everything's got, you know, snot on it. It's holding down. Every cap has got a little tiny bit of snot. Let's see what the diodes are. It's called 2A02 from what I've been seeing. 41.4. Y, Y, Y, 41.4. Yeah, sorry, I only want this baby's home so much. This is a 10-micro farmed 50, 50 volt cap. I think it says felon. It's got like a pound symbol for the first character of the first letter. Then elon. D-L-O-N, yeah. But it looks like a pound symbol, a British pound symbol, like that, but not with the two strikes going through, just with one. So it does look like an F. But I honestly couldn't tell you. I don't think we have to look it up or something. So that's what we've got in our homes. But why? But it does definitely have the same 12 watts on the back flap. Yeah, 12 watts. You can see that, you should be able to see that now. 12 watts. That's a 5-watt speaker. About 4 ohms. It's quite heavy. It's pretty heavy for the size of it and quite surprised how heavy it is. I can see why the whole unit weighs so much now. Well, look, this isn't just a cheap piece of shit, because look at this, look, there's even rubber going around the outside of this. So obviously when this is put together, when there's a bit of a port on the back, this is put together so there's no vibration. So, you know, they're not the cheapest of speakers. I know, you know, I probably wouldn't have spent that much when I bought them. I can't remember, it was such a long time ago. It might be worth actually cleaning them up, because it's metal. It's not so... I mean, that one's a lot lighter, but that's only because you compare it with this one here. But you can compare it with this. This is like heavier than this, but that's because it's got the case as well. And it's not exactly thin, too, rather than the case. So, it's got to make it out of... That is pretty thick. Six little screws, not going into the metal, so it's not like that, it's plastic. But still, that's, you know, restrained there. Metal restrainer. LA4601M. So, 46... 46001M. LA4601M. I don't know what to do down here as well. Okay, 46001M. So... Well, what I'm going to have to do then is... I suppose I'm just going to have to take out as many of these caps as I can replace. I'm not sure what all these little fellas down here are. I'll try to figure out how nice I can look at these. What the value of that? It's a 16 volt, come back. 16 volt, 22 microfibers. And I'm going to assume that they're all the same. And that's, how do I say, 50 volt, 10 microfibers, isn't it? It's a 16 volt, 1,000 mics, these big ones here. And that's a 3. 3,000... Yeah, 3,300 mic, 25 volt. Oh, I lied, they're not all... This says Nichicon. I know you can't see it from there, but it does. It says Nichicon. I'm looking at the colours as well. I'm all thinking about it. Yeah, so I know some good stuff from there. Well, yeah, well, it's not the cheapest of the cheap, is it? Not the cheapest, the cheap Sony amp. So the board's Sony. It says so here. See that? It says Sony. Okay, can't tell. Fuse, I don't know if use is good, because it still will work. Can't tell. It's a slow, it's just regular fuse, isn't it? 0.25 amp, 250 volt. Okay. So these are Nichicon VRM range. I'll be seeing that's what that means. Then we've got some 4.2 peak interference. Microfarad, sorry, a whole bunch of these 4.2 microfarad, these ones are here. 16 volts, but they're all Alma. They're all Alma, so sure, not too bad. So I suppose that I need to take out at least some D-part, okay? Because I like these traces. That's where it's been. Then you've got like this additional bit like these, but obviously they've been soldering afterwards anyway, so they've been wanting something. Okay, well, that's as far as I can get this minute in time, because I'm going to start the soldering side of these caps and do some tests. So I'll probably have to replace quite a few and I haven't got all these, so I'll have to see how easy it is to take them out. There's nothing, well, there's a whole bunch of surface mount resistors as well. That's going to make life difficult. Well, I don't know, because they're already all tiny, solid joints, so I should be able to get in and around them. But just for now, I'm going to put that back in now. And I have to go on a hunt for some capacitors. See if I can actually sort this out. I'll just put them down in the old repair section. Moving on there. We've already seen that's going to get like that. I'm not going to push that back in too far. I'm going to put that drill screw out of the way, that power board, and just dump that in down there. And come back to this. So I'll shoot back in a little bit.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6o4AoFb9Y4", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

On your first meeting with the narcissist, I'm sure they were very eager to get to know you. Narcissists specifically target empathic people who are looking to love and be loved. They are looking for people who are passionate, decent, caring and have a strong moral compass. Empathic people are easy for the narcissist to take advantage of. So on your first meeting with them, they want to learn everything about you. They want to know everything you like and everything you don't like. They are taking mental notes of everything you say you like and don't like. They will then use the information you give them to mirror you and act as though you are both the same. They will make you believe that you are on the same frequency. They will make you believe that they share the same beliefs, values and principles as you do. They will appeal to your own ideals. They might change their hair or clothes to fit whatever luck you prefer without you ever telling them to do so. They might see a celebrity you admire, a singer or movie star and they will begin to work on themselves so that they can be more like this celebrity you admire. They have no true identity so changing themselves to appeal to your own ideals is very easy for them to do. From the first impression, they will often ask you specific questions so that they can tailor make their appearance, beliefs, values, principles and morals to synchronize with yours. It is like a form of false advertising. They show you what you want in the beginning but then you soon discover that the exact opposite of that. All of these beliefs, values and principles soon change and you discover what they are really about. They likely told you in the beginning that they are loyal, honest and trustworthy. You soon find out that they are cheating, lying or doing immoral and illegal activities which you are unaware of. Once you discover what they really are, you basically become a lost cause from that point on. The narcissist isn't going to stick around to talk things out. You have seen through their false character so the game is over. They will then bail on the false character and everything associated with it which includes you. They then change their appearance, personality and beliefs to attract a new source. If you are going to see anything great, you would have by now. They are not willing to work to make things work out. They would rather put all of their work into creating an illusion. The reason for this is because deep down they can't stand to see you doing well even if it's benefiting them in the process. Anything involving you becoming successful in any aspect of your life is always going to be a big no. They will even self sabotage their own lives if it means it's going to prevent you going any further in life. From the moment you met them, you were fed a load of BS. They made you believe that they were about shit but this was nothing more than a cover up of the truth. They were never even capable of creating great things if they were they would have. They focus on the manipulation and abuse because this is the only thing they are good at. If they were good at something else believe me they would be focusing all of their time and efforts on that but if you know you're no good and not capable of anything why would you bother trying? This is why they appear to give up on you and even give up on their own lives. All they can do is mirror you and copy your own beliefs, values, principles and morals. We call this mirroring because it is basically like they are holding a mirror in front of you and you are falling in love with yourself unlike the narcissist we actually like ourselves and that's why this tactic can be very effective on us. You will never get anything real or genuine from a narcissist. They are all talk and no walk. They will tell you anything you want to hear but they can never follow it up with action. All they can do is create an illusion and if you look closely enough you will see that even their illusions don't fulfill your expectations. Narcists will also use tactics such as gas lighting and coercive manipulation to change your core beliefs, values, principles and morals. This is also known as conditioning, grooming, programming or training. They will make you believe that your expectations have been met even when they clearly have not. They will cause you to lower your standards and accept their abusive manipulative behaviors as normal. They will use denial, projection and blame shifting to make you believe that you are the problem, you are the reason why they cannot fulfill your expectations. These are all just tactics to make them remove themselves from any responsibility or accountability in the relationship. Why does a narcissist create this false character mirror you and try to appeal to your own ideals? Why don't they just be themselves and let whatever happens happen? Well if you know you can never live up to a person's expectations why would you even bother trying? That's how they see it. That's why once you have seen for their false character they will eventually discard you and try to find another source. Someone that's easier to please. Someone who doesn't know what they are really about. So they have another opportunity to mirror and shape themselves to whatever the source wants to see. Victims of narcissistic abuse are so confused by these tactics the narcissist uses. They create an illusion and make you believe that you are never good enough. Well this couldn't be further from the truth. It is actually the narcissist who was never good enough for you. They could never fulfill your expectations. They could never satisfy you in any shape or form. Remember that. This is why they had to create this fantasy and get you to believe in the illusions they were showing you because the reality of them was far from interesting, far from satisfying. You tried to convince yourself that they were better than what they really were. You did this because this is what you wanted to see and you are not alone. I've spent my whole life dealing with these people. It's a nightmare. The worst part is they want you to feel lucky to have them in your presence. And it's like what the fuck? Why should I feel lucky to be dealing with these people that ain't about shit? All they're good at is creating an illusion of being everything they're not. Yeah I used to fall for that when I was younger but now I see right through them. I see what they really are and it's hard not to laugh at them. Some people describe narcissists as being wolves in sheep's clothing. I don't see them as wolves. Wolves are not weak. Wolves are not cowards. So to me the narcissist is no wolf. They are angry little chickens, obsessed with attention and validation and they will go out of their way to get it. They are addicted to people. If they do not get the validation and attention they need they will probably go insane. Normal people believe in working together to fulfill whatever it is that they both mutually desire. In the narcissist mind it's every man for himself. This is the mindset of the narcissist. This is what they believe and their mindset can never change and I know this is difficult to accept but what other option do you have? Put up with the BS illusions and manipulations for the rest of your life when deep down you know you deserve better. You deserve someone with a positive fun personality, someone who will help you progress and succeed in your life. Not someone who just talks about it while nothing ever changes. The narcissist doesn't even want to see you succeed in any aspect of your life. They want to eliminate the belief you have in yourself because they lost that belief a long time ago. Yeah it would be great if it only took a matter of time for them to love you and understand you like a normal emotionally healthy person. But the fact is they are simply not capable of doing that. If they were you would have seen it by now. Narcissists are future fakers. They will tell you anything you want to hear but they will never follow it up with action. They have no empathy and no consideration for you. They only wish the worst for you. They get very bored and easily in relationships. It doesn't matter how good luck in you are or how great your personality is. The narcissist is powered by a constant source of supply just like a light is powered by a bulb and once that supply is gone the bulb needs to be changed. So your relationship with the narcissist already has an expiry date from the moment you meet. The narcissist already knows this. So what's the point in putting in work? What's the point in trying when it's going to end anyway? That's how they think. The narcissist thinks that since it's going to end they might as well fuck things up for you while they are still around. Because no narcissist wants to see their victim move on and be happy with someone else. The narcissist's goal is to leave you clinically insane or to nudge you to suicide. This is all covered by mirroring and a false appeal to your own ideals. The last thing the narcissist wants is for you to ever reach your true expectations whether it is with them or with someone else. When you have narcissists in your life it's basically like carrying a huge bag of worthless bricks on your back. They have no purpose. They do not assist you in any way. Being in their presence will not provide you with anything good. Usually the bare minimum if you're lucky. Narcists are like robots on a mission hunting down their next source to provide them with validation they live for. All they do is take your love and energy until there's nothing left of you and then they find someone else to do the same with again. But once you've gained enough understanding and awareness to see through them it really becomes nothing more than entertainment. It's like being in the circus watching a bunch of clowns putting on an act. I just like to finish with the narcissist can never fulfill your expectations unless they teach you to expect nothing from them.

Well response because I don't claim to have all the answers. So this is called till now for Movies in 2023. What is your biggest surprise? What is your biggest disappointment? What is your favorite and The best theatrical moment Wow All things I've seen are we talking strictly Indian films for the viewers. Let's just leave it for it Okay, what are they again because I didn't memorize all of those the biggest surprise for you that came out to get us here The biggest surprise for me was probably My view end. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah Good it was biggest disappointment. I'm guessing John one John one Favorite it's not not best elevator just your favorite that came out this year. Oh, L. J. P.'s film L. J. P.'s Yeah, and then I guess your Disappointment could also be rocky or Ronnie, but you're more disappointed in John one Yeah, it was for for different reasons. Gotcha. My expectations for John one were were higher and your best theatrical moment Film the best theatrical moment in a film They're just right that you thought was the best theatrical kind of fun. Oh Like which film was the most fun theatrically a lot of jailer. Yeah. Yeah I Welcome back to our TV director Corbin. I am Rick. You can follow the Instagram Twitter for more juicy content I don't know accounts grab like button and Today what we got Rick today? We got a Hindi song. It's called how to punch a pigeon in the neck exactly Beerju beerju read that I'm not saying a word What oh it has Rific Run beer big B. Akshay Prabhu Devan AJ Devgan. What the crap? Okay For context beer Joe and Lala are characters from mother India movie beer Joe asks for his mother's bangles from Lala Renvier has a small rap in this Thanks for the heads up And I think this is pretty early on in his career. I don't know how far after Bond yeah, right it was That film doesn't have to change his name, right? No. Yeah. Here we go Here they come Yes, these are the guys I think of when I think of gangster rap maybe Renvier Just cuz he probably likes it No dance big B. I Guess they just have problem dancing and nobody else probably Everybody's like I'm not dancing with proper check out Rithik's hair Big B in his dancing wheelhouse right now You know, they should put him in a movie where this features in his character something about rap Oh How much they're using Rithik's dancing skills, I mean All right, he's got the fire give water to Akshay There you I Come on Looks like I'm your con it does kind of right. Yeah. Oh was that I'm your con running away How strange very strange. I I felt like the only two that fit or renvier and Prabhu. Yeah And they just want your correct and they just wanted to get as many stars back I didn't utilize Rithik now and his dancing No, very strange but all of the attention into his hair like yes, and obviously it looks like outside of the director I believe that guy was the director. They all filmed this at separate times like this look like it. Yeah But like odd I feel like it would have been better served if you just had renvier and Prabhu dancing and Renvier and renvier Wrapping. Yeah, it was weird. I mean I could see how the song could get in your head Yeah, like I could see it like in renvier actually did a really good job rapping by far And I'm not sure it's a fair comparison because I think he's only one that's really done it The best rapper in all of Indian cinema Who else is done? But it doesn't strike me as something that's happened a lot. It's a pretty easy statement easy statement to make Not to his rapper in India this yeah, let's clarify that No, not the best rapper at all, but he is actually a good rapper. He's a good rapper It's good. I feel like cuz he likes it and so yeah, he does he loves music and he loves rap But that was just it was weird, but it was still I enjoyed it like it's like it the song I could say I could be catchy like certain And maybe it was like the end of the film song. I don't know That was getting all the cast together for the good could be oh actually worth it that many people and the cast good lord That's a lot of people that have in the cast it is a lot of big stars Yeah, that is for a film that I actually haven't heard of so that doesn't That's not great. I mean I haven't heard of everything, but From 2002 is that the year is it a short? Oh, that's a completely different thing. That's not it. It's definitely not it What does it say? What's called? song singer director Hey, bro. Hey, bro. Hey, bro 2015 That is it. I don't see any of them. Govinda, Mexico. Okay, so they all make special parents They're not they're not in the appearance. Yeah, special appearance special appearance. They're not in the cast they make special appearances So that's the director right? I'm guessing yeah AJ Chandok if that's pronounced correctly Why did they all do it like to give attention to the film all friends of them probably Strange book. I kind of enjoyed it I was just kind of weird how they I would have just had how I would have had Ranveer rap the entire time and Have Prabhu dance the entire time And you know or it utilized Rithik For actually dancing. Yeah, they went with they went for more stars to get a broader fan base to pay attention I mean I get they're all stars and at this time Ranveer wasn't the biggest star No, obviously and the up-and-comer But I mean I get actually stardom a Jake goes Devgun stardom Big B's stardom I get all that Rithik, but they didn't you didn't like I feel like they didn't really add much I Don't think the point was to do anything just artistic excellence. It was just commercial Yeah, it was we're gonna put these faces and these names in this song to bring attention to the film Yeah, yeah, because the most meritorious parts were Prabhu and yeah and veer In this one, but anyways, let us know obviously that's all we know about this film right now Is just what we just saw yep, so let us know and other songs we can react to down below	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6ouaMBOqs8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCfX55Sx5hEFjoC3cNs6mCUQ	Kubernetes Policy as Code with Kyverno - Jim Bugwadia, Nirmata	Kubernetes Policy as Code with Kyverno - Jim Bugwadia, Nirmata	null	2021-11-11T16:56:30	2024-02-05T08:14:08	2,951	V6UX5J0HkcA	So, welcome everyone. We're going to talk about Kubernetes Policy Management with Kivarno. So, quick introductions. I'm Jim Baguadia, a maintainer of Kivarno. I'm also a co-chair of the Kubernetes Policy Working Group, a track lead in the multi-tenancy working group and a co-founder at Nirmata. So, there's quite a lot of topics I would like to cover. So, just in terms of logistics, I will be answering questions on the Slack and on the message channels. So, we'll try and save time for questions, but if we run out of time, we'll be on the sessions itself. So, we'll start out by describing why we need policy management for Kubernetes. We'll talk about why Kivarno matters. We'll go deeper into the Kivarno architecture as well as what Kivarno policies look like. We'll talk about how you can do some complex processing logic with Kivarno in Kubernetes, how it can interact with external data sources, and go into other features of Kivarno itself, including reporting metrics and some advanced topics. So, let's get started with why policies matter to Kubernetes itself. So, first off, we've all seen the headlines and the security-related incidents where Kubernetes configurations and misconfigurations tend to be the leading cause of incidents that we see in clusters in production. Also, I love this tweet from my actual Kubernetes admin where they have tried to deploy clusters without policies, and very quickly they see, of course, if it's a shared cluster, you have many development workloads, there's dangers, there's issues bound to happen. So, policies serve as a contract between the different roles, between the different personas in Kubernetes. So, you have developers who want to, of course, deploy their applications, manage workloads, you have security folks who are trying to make sure that the right security configurations are specified in every workload, in every namespace, in every pod, and then you have the operations team responsible for managing clusters, managing the shared services. So, policies bring all of these roles together, and really it's an enabler of DevSecOps at scale. So, what policies can do for you is improve the overall security posture, get rid of misconfigurations, give you proper separation of concerns between these DevSecOps roles, reduce the overall configuration complexity, and also help promote best practices. Your developers are perhaps not too familiar with all of the details about Kubernetes workload configurations, policies can help with that too, and lead to more self-service, more automation. All right, so let's talk about why Kiverno and what the motivation for this project was, what some of our goals are. So, with Kiverno, we use the tagline in a Kubernetes native policy management. But does it really matter to be Kubernetes native, and what does that even mean, right? So, a lot of vendors, of course, a lot of products claim to be Kubernetes native. So, it's important to kind of dive in a little bit deeper. So, when you think about it, there's several levels of perhaps being Kubernetes native. So, the first level is just being focused on that as a domain, on, you know, targeting Kubernetes or Kubernetes users as your audience if you're a vendor or if you're developing a tool or a solution. So, that could also be called Kubernetes native, but that's not quite enough. So, the next level up is where you start actually interacting with Kubernetes APIs, and a lot of tools do this as well. Another level up is when you actually operate your solution or tool as an operator in Kubernetes, and you're expanding or you're extending Kubernetes APIs itself using custom resources and custom resource definitions. Another level above that is if your solution really understands Kubernetes patterns, Kubernetes idioms, how pods and pod controllers interact, what an owner reference means. So, you're going much deeper into how Kubernetes works itself, and your solution becomes part of the control plane in Kubernetes. And finally, level five or the highest level of being Kubernetes native here would be if your solution can automatically adapt to new Kubernetes schema, new solutions coming in, and as these things change itself, being able to talk to the API server. So, Kiverno is designed to be completely Kubernetes native. It is only focused on Kubernetes, which is, you know, some of the earlier levels, but it also interacts with the API server and can, you know, read the metadata of the schema for every Kubernetes object, including custom resources to be able to adapt policies to that. So, this provides a lot of flexibility, a lot of benefits, and simplifies writing policies, managing policy definitions. Because if you don't understand what Kubernetes APIs are, what the constructs look like, of course writing policies is going to be a lot harder, and you have to develop a lot of common solutions just to get started with those things. So, one other question that comes up in terms of why Kiverno is, well, what about OPA Gatekeeper? That's a fairly mature project in CNCF. It's also, you know, like Kiverno, it's a CNCF project. And, you know, there's a very good community and focus on it. So, there are several, you know, comparisons out there. So, I encourage everyone to go, you know, do a quick search and you'll see this is from Victor Farik, who's at UpBound. He's done a great video on Kiverno and, you know, OPA Gatekeeper. There's another one from Chip Zahler at Dell. He's written a series of blog posts on comparing the two solutions. And really the difference comes out to what is it that you're trying to achieve? What are you trying to solve with your policy management and focus on Kubernetes, of course, right? So, in terms of feature-wise comparison, both tools stack up well. The major difference to me is in how you manage policies, how you declare policies, and use Kubernetes, you know, policy management in your teams and organization. So, here, you know, we're comparing the same policy written in Rego, which is the language that OPA uses. OPA is Open Policy Agent. And compared to Kiverno, which uses a more declarative style of configuration, which is native to Kubernetes. It's, you know, again, if you understand what a pod spec looks like or what a deployment looks like, Kiverno policies seem fairly natural and understandable, right? So, it's all about simplifying this to be able to, you know, adopt policies at scale and promote these best practices itself. So, certainly, you know, if you're kind of familiar with Rego, if your teams have developed expertise, OPA is a great solution, and Gatekeeper, you know, fits OPA into Kubernetes. And if you also, if you're trying to, you know, manage policies across different systems, not just Kubernetes, but let's say you want to write policies for your microservices app, things like that. OPA is also a good solution for that. But if you're kind of trying to solve security and automation and other concerns just for Kubernetes, trying to evolve from a DevOps team to a DevSecOps team, and your focus is Kubernetes, Kiverno comes out to be a much easier solution to adopt. And that, you know, is across all of these different roles. And it scales also a lot better as your teams grow and as your Kubernetes usage grows itself. So let's talk about some of the use cases and what we're seeing the community solve with Kiverno itself, right? So starting with the basics, of course, pod security, workload security, Kubernetes has some built-in constructs for pod security. The pod security spec has been, you know, our pod security policy has been deprecated in one, two, two. There's a replacement being worked on, which will do, you know, pod security at the namespace level using labels. And that is planned for 1.25. But there's a lot more required to configure security for your workloads. And even in pod security, there's a lot more flexibility, production deployments typically require. So definitely check out, you know, Kiverno or OPA for one of that. But you need to make sure that beyond pods you're also securing your services, your namespaces, other things like your role definitions, even CRD definitions in Kubernetes itself. Then promoting best practices, right? So configuring probes, configuring health checks, making sure that your RBAC is automated and as fine-grained as possible, having multi-tenancies. So sharing clusters always remains a big challenge in Kubernetes. How do you do this securely? How do you make sure you're avoiding the noisy neighbor effect, right? So those type of things can be very well, fairly easily solved and there's some common examples and policies available to do this in Kiverno. Also auto-labeling, proper hygiene in terms of how you're managing these resources, making sure your configurations, you know, are generated and again limited to the scope. And one new use case we have just introduced, which if you have time I'll do a quick demo. Otherwise, you know, there's links in a post I can share of it show this. But even verifying, you know, image signatures for containers at admission controls. So making sure that when a container is deployed, that you have a signed image and you are, you know, using that only if it's been signed and you have the proper attestations for that container image and you can verify it against a bill log. All right, so let's talk about the Kiverno architecture and how it works in Kubernetes itself, right? So I'm going to go back here to some of you may know the exact mole definition for, you know, this is extensible authorization using XML. And, you know, Kiverno, of course, has nothing to do with this, but the reference architecture for policy management that was defined in this OSS standard applies. So here they introduced terms like a PAP, which is the policy administration point and then a policy enforcement point and then also decision points and information points, right? So this is a pretty good, you know, high-level architecture to use for policy management. And, you know, we can now map this to what happens in Kubernetes, right? Because in Kubernetes, every request flows through the API server. It goes through an authentication phase and authorization phase. And then it goes through admission controls which are extensible. So in this admission controls, you have a chance to mutate, validate, generate, and do other sorts of interesting things, which is really where Kiverno will fit in as you'll see. But now mapping these two together, let's say you want to have a policy enforced across your clusters, your fleet of clusters, and your CI CD pipeline that says pods should not be run as root user, right? So now you can declare that in your PAP, in your administration point. And keep in mind this could be a GitOps controller, this could be, you know, other tools that you might use, you know, to manage your fleet of clusters. But once you define that policy, it should be applied in your CI CD pipeline. So you're validating your YAMLs, you're validating that, you're generating the right image signatures. And then that same policy can be auto-generated and also applied, you know, in your, across your fleet of clusters. And since with Kiverno, a policy is a Kubernetes resource, it's easy to deploy, easy to manage that within each cluster, again, using standard tools like kubectl, customize, GitOps, best practices like that. So a little bit more detail. So if you kind of look underneath the covers and how Kiverno works. So there's multiple controllers, which run all as a single, you know, workload. And they register, Kiverno automatically registers itself as a web book. So like we talked about, it can receive both mutating as well as validating a web book, you know, requests. And then there's based on various policies that you write, which Kiverno maintains in memory as a cache of policies. These will be applied dynamically and you can either trigger the mutation of resources, you can trigger the automatic generation of resources, and also validation of resources. So if you want to block or enforce, you know, any policy based on, you know, things which are going on. So if you change any of this in real time, Kiverno will automatically update. It also does a background scan on all existing resources and will show, you know, those results as well. So it's very easy to now fit in these policies as Kubernetes resources, manage its scale, and just like you would with your workloads itself. So another kind of view of Kiverno itself is if you look at the deployment architecture. It looks something like this, right? So each Kiverno install, we can have multiple instances, multiple deployments, which run as a replica set underneath, and that will spin up and manage the pod life cycles. And then Kiverno has a bunch of other constructs like the web book definitions that creates, also like, you know, custom resources that get installed and manage either through the Helm chart or through the YAML files if you're installing Kiverno. All right, so in the next section, let's look now at Kiverno policies, right, and how a policy itself works. And we'll start with some simple examples and then also look at some more advanced features for managing complex logic in policies. So each Kiverno policy contains a set of rules. And before those rules are applied, there's a match and exclude block which will get executed with, you know, against an incoming resource. And that resource is contained in an admission request created by the API server. So Kiverno first, you know, goes through the match exclude and if that, you know, passes, it will then apply, you know, the rule which you have defined. And each rule can either mutate resources, which happens in that mutating web book, can, you know, do things like verify images. And verify images is interesting because it both mutates as well as, you know, validates and the resource itself because it replaces the image tag with a digest to make sure that your image cannot be changed at runtime itself. And then there's a validation phase. So this happens after the API server validates the object, the resource that's commutated against the schema definition. And then finally, in the background, Kiverno can also generate resources. So this is extremely powerful because, you know, you could have scenarios where you create a namespace or you, you know, label a namespace and you want to automatically generate either completely new policies for that workload or you want to generate things like standard objects like network policies or role definitions. You can now easily automate this, you know, using Kiverno itself. So this is what a policy looks like, right? And again, you know, it's fairly, it's designed to match what a Kubernetes pod would also kind of pod definition would look like. And this policy is very simple. All it's doing is looking in the metadata and it's checking for a particular label to be configured on that pod spec itself. Now, one other cool feature in Kiverno is if you define this policy on a pod, Kiverno can automatically generate rules for pod controllers. Again, because it understands Kubernetes, it's designed to work in Kubernetes, it simplifies that and you don't have to manage different policy rules because the structure of pod controllers is different. This will just be handled natively in Kiverno itself. So this is another example of a policy. It's a validation rule and this policy is again extremely simple but very powerful. So what it's checking for is certain resource types and if it matches, you know, if the request, the admission request matches that resource type, Kiverno simply denies the request. Now, why would you want to do this? And the main use case here that we're showing in this policy is API objects get deprecated in Kubernetes and as they're getting deprecated, how do you know, let's say you have production workloads, how do you know where those are running, which ones need to be updated and how do you inform your developers about that? So Kiverno solves this problem because you can now roll out a policy like that as an ops team and your users will get informed with the policy report that Kiverno generates in their namespace, so which tells them these are violations I need to fix before this API construct gets deprecated. Here's an example of a mutate policy, right? So this actually changes an object and there's some simple examples here. We're just looking for a specific name of a port and replacing it with a certain port number in the first example and the parentheses are actually, you know, showing some of the flexibility in Kiverno to do conditional logic. So this is doing an if statement and saying if the name is secure, then I want to set the port to something. And the other example which has a plus sign in front of it is a very simple declaration to show that if it's not specified, then set the default, right? But if it's specified, leave it alone and let, you know, take the value that's specified. Of course you can kind of make this as complex or as, you know, involved as possible. You can even do things like match with operators, other logic that you want to combine here. Here's an example of a, you know, very popular, you know, generate rule, right? So when you create a new namespace, you always want to set a default network policy for the namespace and this rule is helping do that. And again, it's very simple. It's like less than, you know, 10, 15 lines of YAML. It's very powerful because what it does is anytime a new namespace is created, you get a default deny network policy and then your developers can add, open up the ports, open up the routes that they require for their workload, which is a much better security, you know, kind of best practice versus just allowing all communication even within the same cluster or communication to the API server by default. Here's an image verification policy, right? So this is an integration with Cosign and there were some sessions, you know, earlier, I think there was a session yesterday that Dan did from the six-storey team on Cosign, six-storey and a bunch of other tools for supply chain security. And what Kiverno does, so Kiverno, think about it as the last mile before your pods are getting, you know, run in your clusters. So this, what this rule is doing is it's matching an image pattern and based on that image pattern, it's saying that every container image has to be signed with this public key. So extremely powerful and, again, very simple to kind of, you know, do with Cosign and Kiverno and start, you know, moving towards, you know, there's a framework that Dan covered called Salsa or SLSA, which talks about supply chain security and this, you know, gets you up to, you know, a level in terms of at least being able to make sure that your image is assigned and verified before they're deployed into your clusters. All right, so let's look at some more complex examples, right? So these were fairly simple to start out and the reason why I wanted to show this is one thing that comes up against Kiverno and if folks are comparing it to something like OPA or Gatekeeper, well, OPA is a full-fledged programming language, right? So you can write very complex logic, but Kiverno has a lot of power in a very simple and easy to manage format as well, right? So one, you know, one thing that you would want to do as you're managing policies is you want to externalize data from your logic. So just like in programming, you always have data and logic and it's nice to separate your logic or your algorithms from the data. Similarly, when you're writing policies, you want to make them as data-driven as possible and decouple your data from the processing logic. So Kiverno supports multiple ways of substituting data within policies. One easy way is to use something called reference variables and these are just, you know, follow like a Unix or Linux style path syntax and you can reference other things in your policy or your resource definition itself. So a very simple way in here we are showing how if you want to make sure that your port matches the readiness port or just use that value, you can do that fairly easily. The other example is a little bit, you know, it's slightly different, but it's also very powerful where you can, you know, using something called James Path or JMS Path, which is a way of processing JSON data and it's supported by several command lines, including, you know, like the AWS CLI as well as kubectl and other support. James Path, there's a tool called JP which you can also use to test these. So what this is doing is it's extracting some data from the incoming request object and adding that to your policy definition. So the second box here is an example of how you can add a label into every, again, if you're matching namespaces or you're matching an object, you can now easily check and say, who created this, right? Because Kubernetes doesn't show that by default, this becomes a very simple way of showing who created that particular resource or namespace. So there's more complex, again, you know, expressions and things you can build and there's several samples. I'll quickly show the Kivarno website, our policy library. So like the first one is, again, taking data from the request object, which is sent by the API server to Kivarno and it's extracting the data and adding it to your policy definition itself. The next one is getting user information. So some of this comes from the API server, but other data is what Kivarno is fetching and automatically making available, right? So this is a built-in data type. It's built in and Kivarno augments what comes from the API request to make it easier to add, you know, checks to say if a user belongs to a certain, you know, role or to, you know, a certain, you know, cluster role or a namespace role, then you want to allow some logic. So you can match and exclude by this as well. And then the final example is another, you know, the turtle bullet here for built-in data is where you're checking against the images within pods, right? So if you want to check for a particular registry or a particular tag, you can now very easily and simplify this in your policy logic and just use this built-in data types. There's also a couple of ways to get external data and we'll talk about that next, right? So the one pattern Kivarno fully embraces. So just like in Kubernetes, Kubernetes apps typically follow the 12-factor app spec and configuration should be decoupled from your application itself. So either you're putting environment labels or you're using config maps, right? Config maps give you a very powerful and flexible way of managing this type of environment data. So, you know, here, what Kivarno does is it automatically scans and caches config map data and allows you to now use this within your policy definitions itself, right? So in this example, what we're seeing is we're reading from, you know, we're taking a config map, loading it into a context within a rule, and now we're using data from that config map and we can cross-reference this with other data, right? So you can form logic to say now if a pod has a particular image, take that image name, use that as a key in a config map, look up something else and then apply it to your policy. So fairly complex, but nice and easy declarative syntax to deal with that without, again, having to write, you know, code or do other complex things. Here's another example now which gets more into the power of Kivarno, right? So this is actually fetching data from the API server. So if you recall, when we talk about the exact model architecture, we, you know, we went through things like you have the policy enforcement point, the administration point, as well as you have a decision point where that policy is being decided, which is Kivarno, and then you have an information point, right? So the API server acts as a source of information. It becomes like a policy information point where your policies can fetch more data and make processing decisions on whether they should be applied. So in this example, you know, what we're doing is we're actually making an API call, you know, and so this policy is trying to check and make sure that you only configure one service per namespace of type load balancer. Now, why would you want to do this? Well, if you're running in a cloud environment, load balancer services tend to add costs, right? So one way of kind of, you know, one common, you know, enforcement is making sure that each workload only exposes one external load balancer and uses other constructs to do internal routing and traffic management itself. So to do that, now you can very easily define a policy which is saying, okay, do an API server call, check the namespace that the workload is going to get deployed on, and count how many load balancer services are there, and when you have that result, make sure that it's only set to one or if it exceeds one, you're going to deny that rule, right? And you're not going to allow that, you know, whoever is trying to deploy that workload to go ahead and create that new service type with the type load balancer. So again, you know, a fairly complex set of things that need to be done, but with Kivono, you can do this as a James Path expression and you can now, you know, filter down the results. So the first line here, which is doing the URL path, is actually doing an API server request. It's fetching the list of load balancers in a particular namespace. And then the second line is filtering that down and narrowing it using James Path. And by the way, there's, you know, interactive tutorials and things on the James Path website on how you can do this, so there's several best practices and patterns available. But what it's doing is it's, you know, filtering it down to match by a particular field and then kind of, you know, passing that into a function to count that. Kivono also has several, you know, James Path extension functions. So you can do things like regular expression matches. You can even do, you know, some computation, like you can do less than, greater than those type of comparisons. So just making it again very simple with a couple of lines of YAML declarations to be able to, you know, process API server data and things like that. It's extremely powerful. And the nice thing is you can test all of this using standard tools. So if you use Kupka, it'll get with the minus minus raw option. And if you use, you know, with JP, which is the command line tool for James Path, you can now test all of this and then make it part of your, even your CI CD pipeline, where you're automating the test for this, going back to that policy as code concept, making sure we're, you know, properly verifying before we deploy into, you know, these type of, into your production clusters itself. So one other pattern which is becoming, you know, in the community, fairly, you know, popular is how you can, you know, extend Kivirno itself, right? Because with any tool to be successful, it's always nice to make it extensible. And Kivirno, again, adopts a very, you know, Kubernetes, you know, native way of being extensible itself. So with Kubernetes, you can write, you know, custom, your own custom resource definitions, you can have custom controllers, and there are several projects which do this for everything like CertManager does this for certificate management, of course, like the storage controllers, networking controllers, other things do this as well. But it's very, you know, it's straightforward using tools like KubeBuilder to be able to create your own extensions as well if needed and when needed. So the way to kind of add anything to Kivirno, it's as simple as creating another Kubernetes controller or having a way to even push a config map from your CICD pipeline. So as long as you can do that, Kivirno can now, you know, leverage those constructs, a custom resource definition, because Kivirno can automatically, you know, query the schema through your API server, or it can look up a config map and it's able to also, you know, process the data in the config map itself. So this provides a nice and secure way to make sure that, you know, Kivirno can be extended and you don't have to, you know, kind of change the Kivirno source itself or deal with plugins or any other kind of complex way of dealing with other data providers or other policy extensions that you might want. All right, so let's quickly go through some other features. You know, we talked about how you can start with simple policies, how we can get to complex policies, but there's a lot more. If you're deploying in production, you know, you want to, of course, make sure that your policy engine, which is a critical component of your infrastructure, is properly deployed. You want, you know, reporting metrics, things like that to be built in and to be complete, right? So Kivirno, first off, reports in Kivirno are also full-fledged Kubernetes resources. So these are not, you know, again, like other tools sometimes pushed, you know, to logs to push to other data sources. In Kivirno, what we have done is we have made reports a first-class, you know, Kubernetes resource itself, which, again, you can use any Kubernetes command line tool or management tool to process and automatically, you know, utilize. The other cool thing about Kivirno reports are these are, you know, follow a CRD definition, which the policy working group in Kubernetes is standardizing and is promoting with a number of other projects itself. So Kivirno reports follow the same, this common CRD, which other tools like Falco, which is a runtime, you know, policy and kind of runtime security tool, as well as things like KubeBench. We're also working with other, you know, projects to start embracing this policy report. In fact, you know, even, you know, we've had discussions with the Gatekeeper project to see if, you know, that there could be an adapter or a way of taking reports from any other tool and, you know, leveraging this policy, you know, common format of reporting. So the nice thing with this is no matter which tool you're running, you can now standardize on the output definitions. So if you're interested in this, go to the policy working group, you know, website in Kubernetes. There is a CRD, there's a definition, there's a list of projects that, you know, either have existing support or a plan for support for this itself. There's also, you know, now that we have the standard definition in the community, one of our community members has built an awesome tool called Policy Reporter, which takes this definition from a graphical view of it and can also now extend, you know, take the, you know, as policy reports are generated, compare for differences and create notifications which can be sent to other upstream tools like whether it's a Slack or other, you know, notification and communication tools you might have, right? So this is another, this is now also part of the Kivorno project. So it started off, you know, outside the Kivorno project, but we have, you know, as a sub-project and Policy Reporter is also released and managed by the Kivorno community itself. And then, you know, there's built-in metrics which Kivorno itself exports, right? So if you're managing policies and if you're using policies for other security, how do you know your policies are working? How do you know, you know, how many times a rule has been executed and how many errors are there in your different clusters? So to do this, Kivorno has native integration or native support for a number of metrics which are very granular but can also be filtered and scoped with labels using Prometheus metric formats. So this makes it very simple and, you know, again easy to manage at scale. Here's an example of a dashboard with, you know, Prometheus metrics which is showing, and this Grafana dashboard is also available in the community to get started with. And of course you can extend and build your own as well if needed. All right, so and then the other thing to talk about is, you know, so as we talk about policy as code, you know, the runtime part, running Kivorno, observing Kivorno, managing Kivorno is important but you also want to integrate policies in your CICD pipeline and you want to, you know, try to, of course, enforce these best practices as early as possible as things are changing in your applications in your workloads. So to do that, most Kubernetes workloads also have now a set of yamls which, you know, kind of manage or specify how that workload should be described or should be deployed in a cluster, right? So when those yamls are updated, you can run CICD, you know, jobs using the Kivorno CLI which can automatically check and make sure those yamls are compliant to your policy. So this, the CLI has two purposes. One is for end-users, the workload owners to be able to verify and make sure their workloads are compliant and if they're not, you can just say if a PR or if there's a, you know, commit, you can flag that right away and make sure that if there's any problem with that workload that gets, you know, the author knows as part of the, you know, their CICD pipeline and they can fix that even before that commit is accepted, right? The other use of the CLI is for the policy authors itself. So for your ops team, you want to make sure you want to test policies and you want to manage policies just like you would with software best practices. So the CLI has a lot of support. There's a test command where you can write different test cases both for, you know, negative execution and successful or sunny day scenarios. So you can test a combination of these results. You can even test against a cluster and produce reports and compare them to what the expected results is. So this makes it very easy to again manage policies as software artifacts within your version control systems follow the best practices like you would for other software and apply that into your policies itself. So certainly the CLI becomes instrumental in that and it doesn't require a connection to a cluster. If you do want to test your policies against a cluster, you can pass that and it will actually verify, you know, a set of policies or changes in policies against a live cluster to show the results itself. So let's talk a little bit about the roadmap and what, you know, what's coming up, right, and in Kivarno. So Kivarno is at release 1.4 and the community is working on we're, you know, about to release 1.5. The goal is to have a release candidate before KubeCon. So in a few weeks, we will have RC for 1.5. And there's a couple of very interesting and powerful features coming in here. So right now, if you are configuring WebBooks, so remember we talked about the API server sending requests to the WebBooks like Kivarno and you could have mutating as well as validating WebBooks. But if, so today that WebBook configuration is manual in Kivarno and you have to write the filters, write what you want to pass to Kivarno. So with 1.5 that becomes completely automated and dynamic. And of course today you can say send everything to Kivarno and Kivarno enforces a very short deadline to be able to deal with that load and is optimized for that. But it's better, you know, with this change, Kivarno will only configure the WebBook filters for the specific requests that are required and this will, you know, kind of help its scalability as well with processing. There's also a new construct being introduced for more powerful processing logic in Kivarno. So a lot of Kubernetes resources have sub-resources or sub-elements in them, like a pod may have volumes, right, or a pod may have container definitions and a lot of times you want to kind of loop across these and apply some logic within these rules. So the for each construct just simplifies that. Today it's possible but it's quite verbose. So this will just simplify it and make it easy to write these type of, you know, more powerful constructs itself. There's also more features coming on supply chain security where Kivarno will be able to, you know, have support for attestations, other things which are being developed in the cosine and six store communities. So we're collaborating with these projects to make sure that Kivarno policies can apply some of this added mission control itself. There's also a time-based, you know, request in the community, which was very interesting, right? So this is talking more about time-based policies. So to be able to apply policies, you know, only in a certain threshold of time. And you may want to do this like one use case was, well, what if you have certain users on pager duty rotation or, you know, they are kind of responsible. So only some users should be able to update clusters or do certain operations at some given time. These policies can do those checks and can alert and audit if, you know, some other users are taking actions at that time. And there's also other requests for more powerful, you know, processing logic. And, you know, one consideration is also to support things using languages like JavaScript, which allow, you know, writing some custom logic if and when needed, right? So just to quickly summarize, you know, and we'll, you know, I think we have a little bit of time for demos, so I do want to show some, you know, a quick demo of what Kivono looks like in action. So actually let's switch to that and then I'll come back and we'll summarize on this. So I'm going to, you know, go from to my command Lenshell. And here if I look at, you know, what's running, I have a local cluster and if I just check the namespaces on it, you can see I have Kivono installed a few other namespaces and things running in here, right? So now if I check and see what's in the Kivono, you know, so let's do minus and Kivono. Spell that right. So in this case, I've just done the default installation of Kivono and you know, that brings up a single deployment with a single pod. You can, of course, scale this up as you need. And if I do, you know, let's say if you just check the logs of this and, you know, I don't really need to follow the logs. I'll just do, we'll check for the deployment. What we'll see is, you know, Kivono is up and running and it's showing us that, you know, everything is healthy. There's some TLS handshakes, but this is because I'm running in Minikube and there's, you know, my firewall port here is not open on this. So Kivono is already running. The other thing I want to check and see is which policies I have, right? So I'll just do a get C-Pol, which is cluster policy. It's a short name. And if I look at it, I have two policies. One is running in audit mode and the other is running in enforce. So the first policy is saying that if I have a pod, I want to require probes for that pod. And the other policy is, you know, showing, saying that if I, you know, have, you know, is verifying images itself. I can also check over here if I check for policy reports. Again through, you know, policy report, the short form is PolR or P-O-L-R. So I can check and see that I have one policy report and it's showing me that everything's passing right now. There's no violations in my cluster. So pretty easy, pretty straightforward to do. So let's actually now I'll demonstrate the supply chain security example, right? So what I'm going to do is the check images policy we looked at before is this policy which is verifying that any image deployed in your cluster has to be signed with this particular signature. And this, you know, I have a test image in the Kivarno repo which we used for automation test as well and we're just going to test against that, right? So the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to apply, this policy is already applied so I don't need to do that actually and I'm going to run a signed image which I know has been signed with this signature. So when I do that, Kivarno will, you know, of course the pod gets created so if I do let's check for the deployment. So we have now signed the deployment is running and as you can see it has one pod running and everything's ready, right? So now how do we know anything happened here? So let's check, let's speak at the YAML and if you look at this and if I want to grep for image what I'm going to see is there's, let me move this to the top of the screen. What I'll see is that signature actually got changed to insert a hash. So when I deployed the pod, if I look at the pod declaration or the deployment itself that hash did not, you know, the digest did not exist but now this got inserted by Kivarno because it was verifying that it actually pulled that information using cosine against your image registry, checked the signature, mutated the pod in the deployment itself. So any instance of that pod that gets created now has the proper hash or the digest within your cluster. So the next thing we'll do is we'll try and run a pod which is not signed, right? So I'm going to pull this deployment will create the unsigned with this image which we all have in the Kivarno repo which is unsigned. So at this point as you would expect the admission of that book itself says it checked the signature and is saying this image is not really signed so, you know, it's going to deny and it's going to block that from executing. Another test would be if I have let's say I have another deployment which is signed by some other signature. Now in your rule you can specify as many signatures as you want. So if you want to make sure that each pod is signed by, you know, there's an attestation let's say for your commit and other things you can combine the signatures but in this case it's some foreign signature so Kivarno again, you know, uses cosine does that check and will immediately block that pod and say this is not allowed in this particular cluster. So just a simple demo but a quick example of showing, you know, how you can now use these policies to start enforcing things. There's several other, you know, you know, policy examples I'll quickly show the Kivarno website itself. So if you go to the, you know, Kivarno website at Kivarno.io look at policies. There's several policies which you can, you know, give you a really good starting point. The thing that if you're not running PSPs today or not using some other tool for pod security, I definitely recommend checking this out. In fact, you know, I can show a quick demo of this as well. So here what I'm going to do is I'm going to put this in my cluster. We'll just use this one command line to apply all of the pod security policies available, right? And there's about 15 of them defined in Kubernetes. This is, there's a spec called the pod security standards which defines three levels of pod security. And what this is going to do is it's going to put the highest level of pod security in my cluster. So it's a number of policies and we're applying a customization to them to switch these to audit mode. So if I do now a kubectl getSeapol, which is cluster policy again, I see I have a bunch more, a lot more policies, right? Now let's try and, you know, take an insecure pod. And I like this one. There's a website, you know, maintained by Bishop Fox called Bad Pods, which is interesting for testing. So this is, the reason why is this bad, right? Because it allows privilege mode, it allows, you know, running it in the host namespace, using, you know, host bid, host path, the host network itself, and also host IPC constructs, right? So definitely not a good thing to run in your cluster, because of course if an attacker gets access to this pod, from there they can also, you know, kind of leverage other things. So I'm going to go get YAML for this. And so let's go with this first one and we'll just go to the raw definition and we'll grab the command line. Let's see if we're able to run this in our cluster. So this is pulling down that, you know, demon set YAML and immediately, of course you see a bunch of errors which are saying that, hey, you can't run this workload because it's not configured for security and it doesn't comply with the policies we just installed, right? So quick examples, there's lots of other more powerful demos in the community on the Kverno website itself. So certainly take a look. But just to summarize and wrap things up, yes, so Kverno is designed to be a fully Kubernetes native policy engine. It runs inside Kubernetes clusters as an admission controller. Also understands Kubernetes constructs, which makes it very easy and simplifies managing, defining and enforcing complex rules within your production clusters. So what Kverno helps with is securing and automating your configurations at scale and doing this, you know, again, so across your DevSecOps roles so you have proper separation of concerns as well as you're promoting best practices. And Kverno is like we saw is extremely simple to get started with and certainly with the, you know, like use cases like pod security, best practices for your workload, it gives you a lot of benefits right away. So certainly check out the community site so you can just go to Kverno I.O. for all the information. We are on the Kubernetes Slack, so if you go to Slack.ka. So Kubernetes.io there's a Kverno channel and we have, you know, monthly community meetings for end users. We also have weekly contributor meetings and growing set of contributors who are also helping extend and manage Kverno. So that's what I had to cover. So thank you very much and pleasure presenting Kverno to everyone.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6UX5J0HkcA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCvymH6qvAgCpzuRkXIw1ywg	Box 13 - One of These Four (#38)	Box 13 - xx/xx/48, episode 38 OTRR version 2303 This episode provided by the Old Time Radio Researchers	[ "1948", "Old Time Radio" ]	2023-03-27T18:00:23	2024-04-23T14:13:51	1,591	v6TfyTAB7fY	Box 13, with the style of Paramount Pictures, Alan Ladd as Dan Holliday. William? William? Yes, Mr. Mallory? We're ready to leave at a moment's notice, aren't we? Yes, sir. Very well. Please put this in the mail for me. Very well. Oh, you'd better take it ashore and post it there. I'm rather anxious to see who this Box 13 is. The letter I received was short and to the point. Enclosed with it was a plane ticket and another ticket. First class on the biggest luxury liner of float. And the letter read, be at the end of Pier 9 tomorrow night at 8. Please be prompt. That was all. A command. Not a request. When I received it, I wondered who'd written it. Well, I found out. And now back to Box 13 and Dan Holliday's newest adventure, one of these four. But Mr. Holliday, do you want to go on another trip? Oh, not if I can help it, Susie. But someone paid for these tickets. First class on the biggest liner of float. And no name or address. You can't send it back. But I can bring it back. You mean you're going to Pier 9 tonight? Like it says here, Susie, I'm going to Pier 9 tonight. I got to Pier 9 promptly at 8 o'clock. There was no liner there. There was nothing but a cold fog that penetrated to my skin and made me shiver in the dim, hazy light from my half-hearted street lamp a block away. I looked at my watch. It was exactly 8. Are you Mr. Holliday? Yes, I'm Dan Holliday. Do you have the letter that's sent to you? Who are you? My name is William, sir. I'm a steward. On what ship? If you'll be so good as to show me the letter, Mr. Holliday, we can talk later, if you please. I, uh, okay. Here you are. Very good, sir. If you'll come with me. Where? There's a boat waiting, sir, to take you out for yacht. Yacht? What yacht? Look, what about this ticket? That will be explained later, Mr. Holliday. Now, would you come with me, sir? He stood there waiting for me to follow him. I wanted whether to or not. Well, I'd advertised for adventures and who blames whom in a case like this. Then... You coming, sir? I think you've talked me into it. Okay, William. Lead the way. Ten minutes later, I was aboard a yacht. But what a yacht. It was sea-going, and from what I could see in the bad light, ready to go anywhere and do anything, William led the way along the deck. You go down this companionway, Mr. Holliday. And it's nice to know we're going somewhere. Your cabin, Mr. Holliday. Mine? Yes, sir. I think you'll find everything in order, pajamas, toothbrush, everything that you need for the night. Oh, now, wait a minute. If you're hungry, sandwiches and coffee. Good night, sir. Hey, now, just a minute. Hey, open up. Come on, open the door. William? William? And that, as they say, was that. I was locked in. I thought of breaking in the door, but one could look with that idea out of my head. The door was iron. There was one porthole in the cabin. I couldn't have crawled through it if I'd been dehydrated. Well, I sat down to figure this out. Then it was figured out for me. The yacht was moving around to the porthole. The lights of the city had already been swallowed up by the darkness. Mr. Dan Holliday was going on a trip. But where? And why? Mr. Holliday. Mr. Surprise, funny man. I always hide behind doors of people locked on me. Now, talk. My arm, sir. It breaks easily. I'm glad to hear that. Now, come on, talk. This will do you no good, Mr. Holliday. We've been under way all night. Maybe you're right. Thank you, sir. I hope you slept well. Oh, sure. Now, what's all this about? Breakfast is being served in the main dining room. I get great answers to my questions. You'll soon find out, sir. Now, if you please. Go ahead. I'll follow. As you wish, sir. Down to Swames to Holliday. I followed him down the passage, then into the dining salon. And there, seated around a table, were two men and a woman. They looked up as I entered and one of the men spoke. Look here. What's the big idea? You talking to me? I certainly am. If I may have a word. Go ahead. All four of you are in the same position. You mean each of us was kidnapped? No, sir. Invited. Invited my foot. I was locked up in the cabin. So was I. And me, too. Well, well, well. And when do we learn why, William? As soon as Mr. Mallory wishes to tell you, sir. Now, breakfast is served. I shall lock the salon door. Well, I'll be... I wonder what the gag is. If it is a gag. We may as well get acquainted. My name is Holliday, Dan Holliday. I'm Stanley Warring. How do you do? I'm Philip Clayton. Hello. My name's Lansing. Catherine Lansing. Well, so we know as much as we did before. We've got to get out of here. Obviously, this is some sort of insane joke. I wonder if it is Warring. What person in his right mind would kidnap four people like this? What do you say, Clayton? Well, I don't know. Well, take a look out the porthole. Obviously far at sea. How well can you swim? Well, maybe we could get to one of the lifeboats. I don't think so. What? Something tells me the rest of the crew are like William, Mr. Warring. I don't think we'd be able to get to a boat even if we got out of this salon. I guess you're right, Holliday. Well, what do we do? Mr. Warring, I suggest we have breakfast. I think better on a full stomach. One hour later, William came and unlocked the salon door and took us back to our cabins. I caught sight of some of the crew. They paid no attention to us, but went on with their work. We had to say, locked in the salon, then back to the cabins. But at dinner time... Good evening, Mr. Holliday. Hello, William. I see the dinner jacket fits you, sir. Very thoughtful of someone to provide the correct size. Dinner is being served, sir. Thank you. And will we be honored by Mr. Mallory's presence this evening? I can't say, Mr. Holliday. Perhaps. Say, William, where are we? I'm not a navigator, sir. I have no idea. There's still a notion under us, isn't there? When I last looked, it was there, sir. I'll lead on, William. Thank you, sir. Good evening, Holliday. Hello, Warring. Miss Lancy. Good evening. Say, look, we've got to do something about this. We've got to. What do you suggest, Clayton? Well, I don't know, but we've got to think. What are they going to do with this, sir? Why did they bring us here? Dinner is served. Why, you... Well, I'll choke it. How have you... Let him go, Clayton. Come on. Come on, let him go. I'll choke something off of you. Come on. Let him out. What good will that do you, Mr. Clayton? Mr. Mallory, sir. That will be all, William. You may go. And turn that thing off, will you? Very good, sir. You're an impetuous man, Mr. Clayton. So you're Mallory. Sit down, please. We'll have dinner. Just a minute. Before we have anything else, we'll have an explanation, Mallory. You're, uh, Holliday, aren't you? That's right. Fix it right around you. What's I got to do with this routine? Please, sit down. Miss Lancy, on my right, please. Mr. Warring, that chair. Mr. Clayton, on my left. Mr. Holliday, sit at the other end, facing me. Please, you want an explanation. I promise you'll get one after dinner. Or would you rather wait another night and another day? I'll sit down. Thank you, Miss Lancy. All right. The explanation, it better be good. Oh, it will be, Mr. Clayton. And, uh, Mr. Holliday. Yes? I'll wager you've never written anything to match it. Well, we sit down. Mr. Mallory enjoyed his dinner. We didn't. I watched him. He was a big man. His huge head was covered with a shock of iron gray hair that matched the mustache under his sharp, thin nose. And he was charming and cultured. In spite of the fantastic situation, we found ourselves listening to him after dinner as we sat in the salon. The 18th Dynasty was Egypt's greatest. Its pharaohs conquered and reconquered. Its art reached a beauty and subtlety never before or since reached. Ah, yes. Great people. But, uh, maybe I'm boring, you. Not at all, Mr. Mallory. You're very kind. And now, Mallory, the explanation. Of course, Mr. Waring. Well, Mallory. I'm choosing my words carefully, Mr. Clayton. They'd better be good. They will be. Miss Lansing, gentlemen, I investigated each of you before inviting you aboard my yacht. Mr. Waring. What? You advertised in the paper for a job, preferably in a foreign country, that you have no family. Is that correct? Yes, that's right. You answered my ad. Correct. Miss Lansing. Yes. You advertised for a companion position. You, too, have no family. I... No, I... And, Mr. Clayton, you ran an ad offering your services in any capacity. You're, uh, sort of a soldier of fortune. If you want to call it that. I shall. Lastly, Mr. Holliday. Box 13. Adventure wanted. We'll go anyplace. Do anything. Yes. That's my ad. Now, does any one of you see a striking similarity? Oh, please. You must have. You mean the prolonged absence of any one of us would go... Well, we'll go unnoticed. Exactly. All right, you're clever, Mr. Mallory. We'll admit that. You've got us in a spot where you could do anything. Now, would you mind telling us why? Mr. Holliday, you're a fiction writer. Have you ever written a story about a perfect crime? Crime? Don't be alarmist, Lansing. Well, Holliday? No, I've never written one. But there have been perfect crimes, murders in which the killer has never been caught. Yes, I suppose so. Yet suppose someone knows the killer in such a murder, then, uh, it would no longer be perfect. What are you driving at? Just this. One of the four of you is a murderer. A murderer? A murderer? I use the word murderer in the sense that it can be either masculine or feminine. You know that? I do. One of you here is a killer. Twelve years ago, a man was killed. Uh, friend of mine. A killer was never caught. I worked on it. I now have proof who that person is. Why didn't you go to the police? Ten years ago, I would have. But now I'm in a position to enjoy myself, to watch the murderers squirm and wriggle. You're insane. What's to prevent us from jumping on me? My crew is well-paid, loyal. They've been with me for years. Money is an effective silencer. You're a beast, perhaps. Look, Valerie, the killer knows you've learned who he is. Or she. I'm not. Perhaps not, Miss Lansing, but you were saying holiday. The killer knows you know his or her identity. What's to prevent him from killing you? My attorneys in the city have an envelope. In that envelope is the name of the person and all details. I do not return within a certain time. That envelope will be opened. What's the time limit? Wouldn't you like to know, Mr. Waring? Oh, just a minute. I have a question, holiday. Yes, I don't think you've finished your explanation. I haven't. Here it is. In three days, we will dock at Havana. If by that time the killer's identity is not known to the other three of you, I will release all four of you. And the killer will go free? Yes. What if we do learn? I'm sure the killer will do all in his or her power to prevent that. How can we find that out? I will give clues. You will have to recognize them. I see. And if the killer realizes he's being trapped? Then he or she may kill to prevent that knowledge from getting out. And, Miss Lansing, gentlemen, I shall not lift a finger to prevent it. Do you think you can get away with this? Why, of course he can. You're very wrong, gentlemen. No one can prove you came aboard this yacht. No one knows. You'll stand by and see three people kill? Cleverest will survive. Now, here's your first clue. Are you ready? The Roman God, Janus. Janus? The Roman God? Yes. And now, good night. And may the cleverest among you live to see Havana. And now, back to one of these four, another Box 13 adventure starring Alan Ladd as Dan Holliday. There we were, the four of us. And one of us a murderer, or so Mallory said. Was he lying? If he wasn't, then he'd cooked up a fantastic situation. After dinner that same night, I went to my cabin and sat down trying to figure out what the Roman God, Janus, had to do with a killer when... Come in. May I come in, Mr. Holliday? Please do, Mr. Mallory. It's your yacht. Mind if I sit down? Oh, your chair. I like your sense of humor. I like yours. It's just like an open grave. Don't you think you could get a story out of this, Mr. Holliday? What else will I get out of it, Mallory? Do you believe my explanation? I don't know. Here, take this. Here, take it. It's loaded, too. Why the gun? To protect yourself. Guess what? A whom? Against the murderer. It is loaded, isn't it? Yes. Yes, and it's pointed right at you. So I see. But strangely enough, I'm not worried. What's to prevent me from forcing you to order this yacht back to land? Your sense of adventure, your own willingness to see this through, your desire for a good story. Aren't you placing too high a value on your ability to judge people? I've made no mistake in you, Holliday. That's why I gave you the gun. You mean you're actually going through with this incredible thing? Miss Lancy, Mr. Waring, or Mr. Clayton? Suppose none of us learns who the killer is. I intend to keep my yacht in the high seas until you do. But you said we'd be in a van in three days. We don't have to be. You would better be. Holliday, I have my own reasons for this incredible thing. I've come to you because I've watched you and listened to you. Of the four, you are the one who seems the most resourceful. You alone acted with calm and sense at dinner. Thank you, Mr. Mallory. Not at all, Mr. Holliday. Now I'll leave you alone. And, Mr. Holliday, the cabin doors are no longer locked. They cannot be locked because the keys are gone. Good night. And that was that. Mallory's statement that the cabin doors were no longer locked meant that the killer, if there was one, could go and come freely. And whoever it was would be watching, waiting. Oh, Mallory was clever. He was safe because of that envelope with his attorneys. And the rest of us? Well, we'd have to do something to protect ourselves. It was midnight when I got up from the bed. I hadn't undressed. I kept my eyes on the door. Then I thought again about Janus. Janus, the Roman god. What kind of a clue was that? Well, I decided to find out if there were books in the main salon. Maybe I could learn something from them. I stepped into the passageway. It was dark. Not a light showing. I groped my way along the passage toward the main salon. I opened the door. Who's that? Mr. Holliday, is that you? Yes, what are you doing in here? I was afraid. I was in my cabin. I was afraid. I had to get out. It was so small, I felt as though I'd smother. Why did you come in here? I don't know. Why didn't you turn on the lights? Well, I tried to. I couldn't find the switch. Did you see anyone else? No. No one. You'd better get back to your cabin. No, I can't. I won't go back there. Mr. Mallory said the door couldn't be locked. Oh. Mr. Holliday, I didn't kill anybody. I'm innocent. Please. Please get me off this yacht. In the middle of an ocean? We can get a boat. We've got to. You wouldn't have a chance in the world. We'll all be killed. Come on, come on. I'd better get you back to your cabin. No, I won't go. I won't go. Now, don't get hysterical. That won't help. Please, please help. What makes you think I can? You mean you won't help? I didn't say that. Oh, you. You're the murderer. You're the one. Oh. Be quiet. That's good advice for slashing. Be quiet. Mallory. The lights will go out in a moment. Turn them on now. I can't. The main switch is off. I had it turned off because... Ah, there we are. All right, turn off the main switch, Mallory. Added protection and... What's the matter? Who's not screaming? Ah, Mr. Waring, did Mr. Clayton come with you? Yes. Yes, I'm here. What happened? It seems that Mr. Holliday and Miss Lance... Holliday? What about Warring? What were you doing in here? Yes. What were you doing in here? Perhaps he couldn't sleep. Just a moment. I walked to the bookshelves. I looked for a moment while they all watched. It's still there, Mr. Holliday. What's still there? A book of mythology. Mythology? What are you talking about? Mr. Mallory gave the Roman god Janus as a clue. Now Janus would appear in a book of mythology. Here it is. You're very clever, Mr. Holliday. Would you mind looking in the index for Janus, J-A-N-U-S? I can smell. Here you are. Age 86. Turn to it. There's no page 86. That's right. Someone tore it out of here. Exactly. And that's the only book of mythology on board. It's obvious the killer took it out to prevent the others from finding the clue. In other words, the killer knew that reading that page would give him away. Yes, provided the reader was sufficiently acute. But the killer forgot one thing. Yes, forgot what? He or she is the biggest clue of all. What do you mean by that? I mean, Mr. Waring, there's something about him or her that gives away the show and ties in with Janus. What is it, Mallory? Find that out and you'll have the person, Mr. Clayton. Look at one another and remember what I said. Good night. Which one of us took that page from the book? He did. Mallory did. Deliberately. So we could go on with this preposterous game. I wonder. There was someone in here when I came in. You don't know who it was? No. I left the door open when I came in. I couldn't find the light switch. I think someone slipped out when I came in. And you, Holliday, you were here? Yes. Yes, I was. What of it? What do you think? What were you going to do here, Holliday? I came here to turn off the lights again. I don't think that anyone should move. We'd better get back to our cabins. I don't like being in the dark with a killer. The next morning on deck I saw Waring standing at the after rail. I stopped because he looked around as though seeing if anyone were near. Then he raised his arm and threw something into the sea. I wondered what it might be. Then he turned quickly and came toward me. Well, hello, Holliday. Hello, Waring. Nice day, isn't it? I hadn't noticed. Has anything happened? I don't know, has it? What's the matter with you? What did you throw overboard, Waring? Throw overboard? Me? Nothing. Look, Waring, we're all in this together. We've got to cooperate. One of us is a killer. I won't cooperate with anyone. Oh, let me get past. All right. All right, go ahead. He left me standing there. I walked toward my cabin down the passageway and opened the door. Clayton. Holliday. Well, I thought you were on deck. Well, I'm not. What are you doing in here? I just wanted to see you. You can't find me in that drawer. Well, it was open when I came in. It was not? All right, it wasn't. So what? That's my question. What were you looking for? The missing page from that book. Stop lying. Where did you get that gun? What are you going to do now? Please, don't. Get out of here. Go on, get out. I'm going to tell Mallory that you have a gun. Sit down. Things were moving fast. I thought about Catherine Lansing. She'd been in the salon. I thought about wearing who had thrown something overboard. And what he'd thrown hadn't been paper. So it wasn't the page from the book. And I thought about Clayton searching my cabin. Which of the three was the killer? By now, I believe Mallory's story. Then I remembered something, something about Janus. And it tied in with what Mallory had said. The killer and something I'd seen. I left my cabin and hurried down the passage. I was almost to the end when... Feeling better, sir? Who hit me? We don't know, Halliday. Well, whoever hit me took the gun you gave me, Mallory. You, Mallory? You gave him the gun. What was the idea? Well, where is it now? That's what I'd like to know. Obviously, Mr. Halliday, the killer has it. That's right. This is going to be an interesting lunch. You may serve, William. Very good, sir. Uh, Mallory, I... I know who has that gun. Of course you do, Mr. Halliday. Who is it? Miss Lansing, when were you born? What month? Month. Go ahead, Halliday, go on. Well, Miss Lansing? July, why? Is that right, Mallory? That's right. Clayton, what is this? That's the same question. December. He's telling the truth, Halliday. And Warring. When were you born? September. Is that right, Halliday? No, I don't think so. Warring, you were born in January, the month named after the Roman god Janus. Be careful, Halliday. What you threw overboard was a ring. A ring with a dark red stone. Your birthstone. A garnet. That's perfectly true, Halliday. Keep your hands on the table, Halliday. All of you. And thank you for this gun, Mr. Halliday. You are not welcome. What do you intend to do, Warring? Kill all of us? I'm not that stupid. You killed my brother? Yes. But I'm not going to have Fanno or any place else on this yacht. Now stay where you are. I'll shoot the first person who gets up from that table. And I'll shoot to kill. Clayton, William. No, sit still. Let him go. Let him go? Yes, the crew has instructions to let anyone go. They won't see him take the lifeboat. They'll let him go. But he'll get away. I think so. He'll be picked up. You see, Miss Lansing, we haven't been many miles from shore. Now, shall we go on with our lunch? Miss Lansing, Mr. Clayton, you've been put to a lot of trouble. I hope these checks will make you feel happier. I think they will. Mr. Halliday, you got a story, I hope. Oh, yes, I did. You see, Mr. Halliday, I had to do it this way. I had no proof that Warring was the murderer. I spent 10 years getting evidence, but no proof. I had to hope that he would break, put him under tension. But I'd envelope with your attorneys. Mr. Halliday, there was no envelope. They picked up that Warring, huh? Yes. Mallory radioed the police. If he'd kept quiet, no one would have known. Yes, I know. But Mr. Mallory is a very clever man. So are you. Well, thank you, Susie. What about that ticket on the liner? Oh, I never thought about that. Hey, Susie, maybe I can still use it. Here it is. Uh-oh, Mr. Halliday. What's the matter? Look, the date. The boat sailed yesterday. Oh, fine. Good night, Susie.

UCgH_SmWw9WianYyOB5Y6tEA	8 Things to Consider Before You Give up on Your Business Idea \| The Journey	8 Things to Consider Before You Give up on Your Business Idea. Check out more The Journey content at https://bit.ly/GDTheJourney. ✅Read about it here on our blog ➜ http://bit.ly/2VwlxonGoDaddy How do you know when it’s time to give up on a business idea? Many entrepreneurs try not to address this question head-on. They may keep forging ahead with their business, even if stress starts to take its toll and it starts to feel as though good things do not necessarily come to those who hustle. However, there are certain considerations anyone should reflect on before they decide to completely give up on a business idea. Before you decide to throw in the proverbial towel and give up on your business idea, ask yourself: 00:33 Is there a demand for your product? Take a moment to revisit your business plan. Are people not buying what you’re selling? Perhaps there are ways to tweak your existing offering to meet customer demands. It’s possible that competing businesses may have similar offerings. You might need to redefine what differentiates your services from the crowd. 01:15 Does your business have a core group of fans? If you have happy customers, you have cheerleaders. They will return back to you to do business, write positive reviews, and share word of mouth about your company with countless individuals. 01:40 Have you talked to your mentor? Many entrepreneurs pride themselves on being able to go it alone with their small business. However, nobody should be without a support network. Beyond your mentor, you may also want to seek out feedback from trusted, successful entrepreneurial friends. They know what it’s like to doubt yourself when the chips are down and may be able to help you avoid giving up on your business idea. 02:11 Have you already made substantial progress? You might revisit your business plan and check in on the goals you had placed for the next three to five years. If you’ve already met some, great! Make a note of that. For all the moments where you feel as though the business is not taking off as quickly as you’d like it to, look back at the areas you have made progress. You’ll feel proud about how far you’ve come since your early days in business! 02:35 Are you able to financially continue? Answering this question requires brutal honesty. You may have a business idea that you’re extremely passionate about and have spent a substantial amount of time working on it. However, you must also face the financial reality of your situation. If your business keeps accumulating debt and running ROI negative every month, you might make the decision to quietly close its doors because it’s not sustainable. 03:14 Do your partners, or co-founders, know how you feel? If you incorporated your business as a general partnership, then you cannot decide to give up on a business idea on your own. Your partner might be surprised to hear how you’re feeling about the business. However, they may also be able to remind you why you both got into business together and get you excited about the company all over again. 04:22 Will you need to dissolve the business? Let’s say you didn’t incorporate as a partnership and you’re ready to give up on a business idea. You’re running the company on your own as an entity like a limited liability company (LLC). If you truly don’t see a future for the startup or your business idea, you will need to file for dissolution. 04:57 Do you still believe in, and have a passion for, the company? There’s usually a telltale sign of unhappiness that slowly begins to creep up when you’re no longer passionate about your passion project. However, there are still a few ways you can rekindle your passion and salvage the business. Revisit your mission statement Do you still believe in the mission of your business? Has it changed since then? You may edit the statement to reflect new values, or rediscover old ones that were the reason for getting in business. Figure out your Plan B If you give up on your business idea, what will you do next? Will you take a traditional 9-to-5 job, or decide to pursue graduate studies? Take a break Sometimes, our fatigue is the fault of constantly being “on” with the business and not pausing for breaks. Going on a vacation or taking a long weekend away may help you rest up and recharge to return back to being in business. Remember that if this specific business does not work out, this does not mean the end of being an entrepreneur. You can always start another company, or pursue a side hustle that inspires you.

Well, today on The Journey, we'll be talking about eight things to consider before giving up on that business idea. All right, so how do you know when it's time to end the business? A lot of people just keep on going until they just can't go anymore. Yeah, there are a lot of things to consider. So before you throw in the towel, here are eight things you should ask yourself before deciding to move on. So for our first question, is there a demand for your product? Revisit your business plan and see if things have maybe changed since you first wrote it. Maybe the market has changed. Yeah, look at that market analysis, look at that target demographic you're trying to reach, and really your plan for not only attracting but retaining that customer base. So are people just not buying your product because it's just not interesting to them or they find it useful? Maybe some things you can tweak, add another feature, maybe make it more appealing so that they'll start to buy your product. Yeah, and take a look at your competitors. If they've stepped up recently, what are they doing differently? And maybe take a step back and realize what is going to help differentiate me from the rest of the competition. So number two, does your business have a core group of fans? People that have been loyal at the very beginning of your business, making sure to push it forward and give you that patronage, they can be a reliable source to help you keep going. Yeah, those loyal customers are your ride or die. I mean, they're going to stick with your business not only to be a repeat customer, but they can also help share that great word of mouth by leaving positive reviews. That's definitely a support base that you can lean on. The third question you should ask yourself is, have you talked to your mentor? A lot of times that entrepreneurial journey can really feel like you're at it alone, but it's important to take a step back, give yourself some perspective, and talk with the people who have helped you get to that point. You know, maybe they can offer a different outlook of maybe it's not such a big deal versus maybe it is more towards the end of the line. And also these mentors are people that have real world experience in what you are going through. They don't give you theory, they talk about what they've experienced themselves. The fourth question is, have you already made substantial progress? So take a step back, I know as an entrepreneur, it can be really easy to get frustrated with where you're at in that process. But look at your business plan, okay, what was my goal for three years, five years, and take a look at how far along you've come and if you're actually checking off those milestones. I love to say documentation be speculation every day of the week. So for our fifth question, are you able to financially continue? Now for this, you really have to take a step back, separate your emotions, because I know this business is your baby, you put your sweat, love, tears into it, long hours, and even an investment into it. But at the end of the day, you really have to make sure that financially you're able to sustain this business venture. Yeah, you've got to be real with yourself, are your products or services not selling? You know, are you having to take out loans to cover these costs? If you're continually not getting a return on investment and you're losing money, you, it may not be the most sustainable option to keep going. Question number six is, do your partners or co-founders know how you feel? I mean, if you're in this and it's a partnership, you can't make that decision on your own. You've got to have that open dialogue with them and be able to communicate directly. And many times when you have co-founders that start this business together, it started with the same passion that you have. So when you talk to your co-founders, maybe they feel the same as you, and you'll go along and decide to end things. Or the other side, maybe they don't feel like you, and then you do need to actually have that conversation to figure out where you're going to go next. And maybe that'll reignite your own passion. You know, having that conversation with them, it may seem a little bit uncomfortable at first, but maybe they are super passionate about it and that's going to feed off on you, and maybe that's the little extra kick that you need. All right, so if you've heard everything from your co-founder, and as Alex has said, their passion for it doesn't necessarily ignite in you, then you may want to consider a voluntary withdrawal. Yeah, and that clause is typically going to be outlined in a written partnership agreement. And you want to make sure that everything that's within that agreement is taken care of so that all your eyes are dotted and your T's are crossed. Question number seven is, will you need to dissolve the business? So if you're not in a partnership and you're running the business on your own as an LLC, you will need to file for a dissolution if you want to give up on the business. And you may be asking, what is the solution? It simply is, wherever the state is that you incorporate it, you're letting them know that your business is done. Yeah, filing for a voluntary dissolution is a pretty straightforward process. The first step you have to do is file articles of dissolution. And in these articles, they include information about your business, such as your business name, the date of dissolution, and the reason why. Our final question is, do you still believe in and have passion for the company? That is the number one thing that you have to have as an entrepreneur. So if you're starting to feel unhappy, that lack of passion is starting to creep up, you're going to know. So here are some warning signs to look out for. So is your heart still in it? Do you wake up every morning and you're excited to go and do what you're going to for your business? Or do you dread every aspect of your day to day? That is a telltale sign that you're no longer passionate about what you're doing. Or maybe you're completely unmotivated whenever you see that long list of hurdles that you still have to overcome. And you just keep getting beaten down, beaten down. That can be definitely a huge sign that you're losing some of that motivation. And another sign is whenever you think about your business, if it just tears you down, you get emotionally uneasy. And it's just not something that you look forward to, that's another indicator. However, there's definitely a difference between being temporarily burnt out and done. So there are still a few ways where you can kind of rekindle that passion. Revisit your mission statement. Think about why you really got into it in a very beginning. Is it still the same? Do you still believe all of those core values? Maybe you want to edit it. Or maybe you want to think of some new core values that really gets your passion going again. The next thing you should consider is what's your plan be? Are you ready to go back to a nine to five job? What are you going to do if you do leave the business? Or you can just take a break. It's nice to just get away. Maybe take a nice known vacation. Time where you can just decompress from all of the stress from running that business. Maybe take a digital detox. I know from my wife and I, we actually have a vacation set every year that we go away. We tell everybody, you can't reach us during this time. And we don't look in any social media so that we can totally disconnect so we can reconnect. Now, if you don't have a significant other, it's not a problem. Just do it for you where you can just be one with yourself and your thoughts and just really get away from all the stress of the business. And just do a self inventory and think about yourself. It helps you come back to reality and come back fresh so that you're re-energized to take on your business. So remember, this may not be it. Entrepreneurs sometimes have one business that just didn't go well.

Thank you to all the volunteers as well. There's not many of you left here, but and our speakers, there's not many of you left here as well, but again, thank you for helping out. Thanks for attending this. Thanks for showing your support, selling swag at the back, go to the closing ceremony. It's always fun. Also, yeah, this is our first year. This has been amazing. I have, we had lines extending way farther than I thought they were going to be. And hopefully we'll be back in bigger and better and more things, more content and more ways to participate in the village. Well, we can't control that. We can't control the room. We'll see what happens, but this is hopefully a start of something awesome.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6owAidDwss", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
