It's a huge honour to play for this club. Obviously a different feeling. It's very intense. It's a game that everyone's ready to play for on midweek when we're training you know we're all we all want to play and it's a big game to play in. It's always a different atmosphere. It's always more or less a sellout and you can't hear sometimes on the field you know your teammates and everything so yeah it's definitely a game you need to concentrate in and be ready to play in. It shows when our fans come out in full numbers you know at the last game in back west it was massive when they came out and supported us and means a lot to us. It's loud and if you're going to hear Sydney chants and that you know you want to hear your own team chanting and your own fans and them getting behind you and you want to win the game. Sometimes even away games feel like home games and home diabetes because of how good our fans are and how loud they are at away game. Yeah even in the changing sometimes it's a different atmosphere because you can hear more you can you can feel it more and you can hear the march and hear things that you wouldn't in a normal game or sometimes don't but you want to as players you definitely want to hear more and you want things to be loud and you want the atmosphere there. It's a game that everyone wants to play in and you know you want to win so from the moment I started mine it was a bad result but from then on I wanted to win them and you know and I think that's it's been good at the last two seasons I think we've been undefeated against Sydney so that's cool for us.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZz-_ieVRR0", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCGvoIhFaB3OiRZqpti0eFnw	BCA, PGDCA,1st Sem. Course name: Computer Programming using C, "Operators and Expressions"	Presented by Dr. Tapashi Kasyap Das, Assistant Professor, Hiranya Chandra Bhuyan School of Science & Technology, K. K. Handiqui State Open University. Edited by : Hemprokash Mout.	null	2020-11-05T10:04:36	2024-02-05T07:53:05	1,489	vZPlSbLYArw	Dear Lana, today I am going to discuss the topic operators and expressions. This topic is from the course computer programming using C-language. Today I am going to discuss mainly the definition of operators, the definition of expressions, what are the different types of operators using C-language and the precedence and associativity of operators. Now, what is operator? Suppose an operator is defined as a symbol that specifies the mathematical, logical or relational operators to be performed. C-language supports various types of operators and now let me discuss what is operator and what is operand. Suppose I have written a statement a plus b here this a and b these are known as operands and this is a this is an operator it is a plus symbol is a binary operator because it operates on two operands that is why it is known as a binary operator similarly minas division, modulus multiplication these are all binary operators and what is unary operator unary operator operates unary operator operates only on single operand I have written this statement a plus plus here this increment operator is a unary operator because it operates only on single operand this is operator that means operator is a symbol. Now what is expression? An expression is a combination of variables constants and operators written according to the syntax of the language. In C-language every expression evaluates to a value that is every expression results in some value of a certain type and that can be assigned to a variable. Let me write an expression a plus b this is an expression result of these two variables is stored in this variable sum this is an expression it is a combination of operators and operands and sometimes constants. Now I am going to discuss the types of operators C-language supports various types of operators and those are first one is arithmetic operator arithmetic operator next logical operator relational operator, convolutional operator, midrange operator, union operator, size of operator, unary operator, unary operator which includes increment and decrement of operator increment and decrement of operator these are the operators used in C-language. Now let me discuss the arithmetic operators arithmetic operators can be applied to any integer and floating point numbers. The addition, subtraction, multiplication, division these arithmetic operators perform the usual arithmetic operation in C-programs but the modulus operator performs differently. Modulus operator is denoted by the percentage symbol and it gives the remainder of the division and division operator gives the result of a division. Let me discuss with an example this is modulus operator this is an example of arithmetic operator and this is denoted by this symbol percentage. Suppose 5 it gives means it gives the remainder this division operator division operator is denoted by this symbol and suppose 5 divided by 2 it will give 2 result of this one division operator this value and this modulus operator gives this value remainder of a division. So dear learner I have listed all the arithmetic operators in a table let me discuss that. Suppose I have taken 5 in the variable a and 2 in the variable b then the plus operator gives a plus b equal to 7. Similarly the subtraction operator gives m minus b 5 minus 2 equal to 3 multiplication gives a into b that means it will result 10. Similarly division operator gives the result of a division that means 5 divided by 2 it will give 2 and the modulus operator gives the remainder of a of a division a mod b equal to 1. I have written the use of all this arithmetic operators in a simple C-program it is written in this C-program here in this C-program initially I have declared 2 variables n1 and n2 for storing the numbers. Then there are some other variables like sum, sub, MUL, mal then division and mod to store the result of this arithmetic operators. First I have entered the value of 2 variables in the variable n1 and n2 then in the sum variable the addition is stored then in the next next statement the summation is displayed with the help of the printf statement after that sub equal to n1 minus n2 that means the subtraction of the two numbers is stored in this variable sub. After that the difference is displayed with the help of a printf statement like this the multiplication division and modulus is calculated and the output of this program is like this. Here the input numbers are 10 and 3 the sum is 13 the difference is 7 the product is 30 and division is 3 and the modulus is 1. This is a simple example of a C-program where I have shown the all the uses of arithmetic operators. Relational operator can be used to determine the relationship between the operands. A relational operator is also known as the comparison operator. Relational operator returns true or false depending on whether the conditional relationship between the two operands holds or not. True means the value 1 and false means the value 0. Suppose I have taken an expression x less than y if x is less than y it gives true value that means 1. If x is greater than y then it gives false value and that is it will give 0. Here I have shown all the relational operators in a tabular format first one is less than second one is less than or equal to third one is greater than fourth one is greater than or equal to then equal to operator then not equal to operator. Equal to operator is expressed with double equal to sign and with the help of single equal to sign we in C language only assignment operator is expressed. Here I have shown some examples 4.5 less than equal to 12. As 4.5 is small as compared to 12 so it is a true statement so it gives true value that means 1. Similarly minus 6 is greater than 0 it is a false statement because minus 6 is always less than 0 so it will result 0. Similarly 10 less than 7 plus 5 here 7 plus 5 is calculated first 7 plus 5 is equal to 12 10 less than 12 it is true so it will give 1 and in the next statement 4 is equal to 2 it is false so it gives 0 value. Now I will discuss the logical operators. There are 3 logical operators in C language these are logical and which is denoted by this Davoon Apartheon symbol then logical or which is denoted by 5 logical not this is denoted by this negation symbol. These are the 3 logical operators used in C language. Logical and operator is used to simultaneously evaluate 2 conditions with relational operators. If the condition on both sides of the logical operator is true then the whole expression is true. Suppose I have written a statement if A greater than B and A greater than C then I will store the maximum value on this variable max. In this expression this is an expression this is the left hand side of an expression this is the right hand side then of an expression and this is the logical and operator. If both these conditions are true suppose A is greater than B and suppose this is also true and suppose this is also true then only A is assigned to max both conditions should be true in case of logical and if one is false if this condition is false or this condition is true then it will not come to this statement. In logical and operator both conditions should be true and the truth table for logical and operator is like this. Suppose this is the first expression this is the second expression and this is A and B. Suppose first expression is 0 that means false second expression is also 0 then after logical and the result will be 0 first expression is false second expression is suppose true that is 1 then the result will be also 0 first expression is true 1 second expression is 0 then the result will be 0 if both the expressions are true then only result will be 1. This is the truth table for logical and operator. In logical or operator if one or both the conditions on the left hand side and the right side of the logical operator is true then the whole expression is true. In logical or operator if one or both the conditions on the left hand side and right hand side of the logical operator is true then only the whole expression is true. Suppose in this expression I am modifying this with the logical or operator in case of logical or operator only left hand side or right hand side only one condition is necessary to be true. Suppose this is true this is false then max will be sorry the result will be true that means 1. If I express this in this truth table for or operator here this result will be sense like this 0 0 it will give false value 0 0 1 that means false and true it will give a true value and true and false it will also give a true value and true true it will also give true value. Only one expression is required to be true in case of logical or operator and the third operator and the third operator is logical not this is noted by this symbol. Suppose a is a number and not a suppose this is the truth table for logical not suppose a is 0 then if only reverse the number it will be 1 suppose a is true it will reverse this like this it will be false this is the logical not operator that is logical not produces a 0 if the expression evaluates to a non-zero value and produces a 1 if the expression produces a 0 value. Now I am coming to assignment operators assignment operators I have already told that the single equal sign is denoted is used for assignment operator and double equal sign is used for equal to sign assignment operator is used to assign a value to a variable suppose I want to assign a value to a variable this is the assignment operator and this is the equal to operator suppose I want to assign a value to a variable suppose I have declared a variable like this integer a suppose a equal to 20 that means 20 is assigned to a the value 20 is assigned to a this variable stores the value 20 similarly suppose I have in the next step when I have written 40 that means 40 is assigned to new value of a is 40 then 40 is assigned to a this is the use of assignment operator the assignment operator equal to and the equality of operator double equal to are definitely distinctly different the assignment operator is used to assign a value to a variable whereas the equality operator is used to determine if the two expression have the same value there are some short hand assignment operators that means we can write a single statement in different way let me show this in a tabular format here a equal to a plus 1 that means 1 is added to a and this value is assigned to the variable a this can be written as a plus equal to 1 in the next statement a equal to a minus 1 is same as a minus equal 1 in the same way the last statement a equal to a mod b in this statement it can be written as a mod equal to b these are shortcut operators assignment operators we can write this statement in a different way like this now let me discuss what is conditional operator conditional operator is a tarnary operator because it uses three operands the syntax of writing a conditional operator is like this let me write the syntax expression 1 expression 2 expression 3 and is this combination of this two statement this is the symbol of conditional operator this is the syntax if this expression or condition is true if this condition is true it will result this way and if this condition is false it will give this way in this way the this conditional operator works here three operands are used this expression and this expression and this expression so it is known as tarnary operator because there are three operands let me take an example a equal to 10 b equal to 15 that means 10 is assigned to a and 15 is assigned to b then in the next statement x equal to a greater than b I have used this question mark then a then colon then b and then after that a semicolon here value of b will be assigned to x because b is 15 and a is 10 a greater than b is false because 10 is less than 15 so it will give the third part that means expression 3 and which is here b the value 15 will be the output of this two statement I have written one example to describe the use of conditional operator here in this program it will display whether the user is eligible for 4 or not if the age is greater than equal to 18 then the user will be eligible for 4 otherwise you will not be able to 4 for this program I have written this main part I have declared first one a variable integer is in this output statement enter your age in years when the user enters his age with the help of this input statement scan f then age will be stored in this variable age after that a conditional statement operator statement is used here in this statement if age is greater than equal to 18 then first symbol is used question mark print f you can vote then I have used one colon print print f you cannot vote if this condition a is greater than equal to 18 if this condition is true then the first part you can vote will be displayed if this condition is false then the second part you cannot vote will be displayed if the user enters suppose 24 as an input then the first statement you can vote will be the output of this program if the he enters suppose 15 that means his age is 15 then you cannot vote will be displayed this is simple program for determining whether a person is eligible for 4 or not in the next class I will discuss unary operator binary operator then bitwise operator comma operator and size of operator after that I will discuss one important topic which is precision and associativity operator thank you	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZPlSbLYArw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I'm really excited for this. Awesome. Thank you, Madeline I'm Marie Norden and Here with me is Jess and me organizers of this data freedom summit So we're really excited to be able to share with you and Jess is going to be kicking it off today Cool. So hi everyone. Um, so we're gonna be talking about the brands part first Which is my section. So So just a little bit about me first. So I'm currently a fedora. Oh, excuse me. I'm currently a fedora community design intern and working with Red Hat based in Ireland and I've been here for for only a year. So my my knowledge of inkscape is is It's at a good level. Um, so I've worked on many projects in the in the fedora community such as the fedora brand book and And also the fedora brand guidelines that what we're turning the book into a website moment So I'm working on that too And we also have the nest flock and hatch logos as you can see there. There's one of the logos and there that I I worked on and Also logos like the mentor summit that you can see there and the fedora gaming logo as well as well as our new mascot color so Did a lot of stuff so Yeah, and again working with inkscape Doing the blender learning and all that stuff. So So in this talk, I'm just gonna talk about some things in inkscape That's and I found useful during my my internship here and And things that I've learned along the way. So we'll start off with the fedora gaming and Logo and for this one I use the para stroke feature. It was really cool feature and So when creating the fedora gaming logo, I wanted to keep the look of the original hot dog that we have like it looks very hand-drawn and So we wanted to recreate that in the vectorization of the logo because the original drawing I think I think it was drawn in critter. So we wanted to do some stuff like that. So Moe you've probably seen her Maureen as she introduced me to This feature called the para stroke feature, which is a really good way of portraying that hand-drawn feature and so it gives tapered ends and at the ends of different strokes and and other options the taper stroke as well, but I feel like with the With the para stroke feature you can kind of manipulate it better and the taper stroke is very kind of one-sided. So whereas the Para stroke feature has like these little pink nodes on the edge So like take my finger for example So like there'd be a pink node here that you can stretch it up and down But with the taper stroke you have your node here And then there's a node kind of in the middle and you can drag that up and down and In regards to like if you want to take her if you want to tin or if you want it like around edge edge At the top. So in the next video In the next slide I have a little video of This feature so I just wanted to show it in action It's better better to see it So I Went into the path effects tab and you can actually get this by clicking path and path effects And you can see the little nodes there just pulling them in and out and you can create the different shapes and Yeah reshape the stroke into a tapered line and even on one side rounder than the other side point to whichever You prefer so yes, that's the para stroke feature. So for the Fedora mentor summit and we created this like little Venn diagram Esk logo with a little light bulb to and I Suppose symbolize, you know, two people coming together creating really cool ideas and and that's all that mentorship is about so with this I originally wanted for the the two circles when they intertwined to kind of You know have that transparency effect. So I originally used you can use like The opacity slide on inkscape and we try to use that bush Thinking about it for like printing and stuff. It doesn't really Like it won't come out as good like it's best to have like three solid objects rather than have one object solid and then the other one transparent so So yeah, having three solid objects with no transparency effects would just make printing a lot easier and so The tools I use for this was the union difference and intersection path tools. So these are basically like cutouts and And so I use the So like the intersection tool I use that to create the center part of the diagram So you literally just get the two circles put them together and then whatever is on the top It cuts it out at the bottom. So it's kind of like a cookie cutter effect and then I also use that the same method in the actual light bulb itself like for the f looking and And in the light bulb, I literally just turned it from stroke to path and then And right to both and then you do the difference And it just cuts that squeaky shape into that light bulb shape that I made and it's the same with the the bottom too So this is a little demo. So the union tool then you select the two shapes and you go to path and union and and it just combines the two shapes together and Whatever is underneath it takes that and so the different the difference to so So whatever is on top acts as the cookie cutter and just cuts out from the bottom and Then same with the intersection tool. It's the reverse of the difference tool. So whatever is Whatever is actually underneath the the orange circle in this case actually gets cut out and The exclusion tool is kind of cool and it takes away Whatever is like overlapping and just leaves the other two there And then the difference tool is like a miss a mishmash of the difference through an intersection tool And you have the two little bits that It cuts out the two shape shapes, but it doesn't delete them It just separates them too so you can work with both of them So in the next one then so we have the next the nest flock and hatch those and this feature That I learned from this was using text as a logo type base. So I originally sketched up these logos by drawing them first so I use Comfort a as The base type the font is the base for this logo on the flock and hatch and then when sketching out the designs first and What I did with the original was I actually imported my sketch into inkscape And I got a really thick like I use the pen tool and I got a really thick stroke and drew them out which is totally not the way to do it and so So then what we did instead is actually Marie helped me out with this a lot since she has a lot of experience of creating logos and we did a little workshop and What I learned from that was to actually use the the logo type and if you select it and go to path and then it's object to object to path each letter becomes its own Individual like object so you can like manipulate the nodes however way you want and that's how I created the Like on the end you see there's like a little gap So what we did was we actually duplicated the end we took a little section off of The like the very like the foot of the end basically and we cut that off We kind of we put it in where the tail meets this like you have the end here. It's probably gonna be mirrored I don't know which way but So you have the stem of the end and then the curved bit so we just separated them to and then added that little foot just to create the round bit and Same with the E and the T as well, and then we added the the little tree then so Again with the freedom. Yeah, so this is just me Bringing the object to path Thing to to reality and then it just shows you then you can Manipulate the nodes and what's nice about this as well You can actually get the pen tool and whatever node you selected you can actually extend that and that's how I made the little tree on the On the T on the nest logo so and also you can do that or you can actually just draw it and then You can select to and do the union and then they all become one piece So then for color I learned how to use the gradient mesh, so Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself so sorry So the gradient mesh consists of nodes and arrows that let you control the blend so it's basically it's like a massive grid and You can just plot your different colors that you want to use and I have here have to be careful when trying to blend colors I mean, it's it's like basic color theory like well, especially with the orange and the the Green that I used of course. They don't really mix together So they kind of look well at the start it looked kind of brown like a really muddy color It wasn't that great. So again, just like adjusting it with the little arrows you can move it around and so I don't want it to be really colorful as well Because when I originally drew it out, I am I was like sketching sketching it and blending it in Incredible and doing it that way so And I wanted to create the same feel with the gradient mesh. So this is just me and messing around with it with a circle And so again once you select it, then you can use the different nodes And like especially in the bottom where the green is you can see that there's a node there You can click on it and change the colors This is me just messing around with the arrows so you can see how you can change the direction of the gradient, which is really nice and and If you like put the arrows in a certain way so that they overlap You can actually make a line in the gradient, which you'll see at the end but again, you can like do make little shapes and Kind of manipulate the the gradient to where you want it to be and it's quite nice as well to have that bending and motion so that you can If you if you're doing like a 3d effect on a sphere or something. Oh, yeah, it's me don't mind that and So yeah, this is what I meant by creating the line So when I do select it at the end you can see there's a line there So and the last but I'm going to talk about is the multi-page feature which Was recently introduced into inkscape and it is my favorite thing ever. I love having multiple art boards on an inkscape design so Yes, so use the multiple feet the multi-page feature to organize the brand book and it was really helpful when exporting the pages In the video afterwards. I'll show you boss. Um, it's It's really nice. You can just select batch export and Pages and it just exports everything and it was really nice to keep everything organized as well And it's really nice, especially if you if you want to work on like multiple logos On the one like inkscape file rather than have many inkscape files. It's really nice to organize it that way as well, so We'll move on then to the video and this is just me showing how I used it for the four-door brand book and just sectioning at the pages and So this is me just going into a new file and then you have the page there and But you can also add pages with the Page tools that create a new page it'll immediately make another a4 But you can resize it and there's different like in the drop down beside that. There's different Page types you can pick you can rename your pages like I have cover page here That's a single image export so you can switch between the pages But the batch export is where the magic happens. It's so good so you can select whichever pages you want and You can export them you can actually export one page as two separate files So let's say for the front page of the brand book I can export that as a PNG to put into a PDF But I can also export it as an SVG if I ever wanted to have separate SVGs for some reason But it's handy for logos as well a few if someone requests like a specific logo And you can export that one out of your big and inkscape Files so yeah, so this is my section of of the top and done so I'll take we'll do a little break for questions if that's okay. So yes, we have some that have come in So the first one is is the fedora brand guidelines maybe public it would be nice to have a look on it Yes, they are public. We have a git lab for them I can Share that after this actually Next question is hi everyone great presentation. I wanted to ask what sources Like videos courses online material would you recommend for newcomers to learn more about inkscape? Thank you Oh well my Learning experience. I was just kind of All self-taught and going back to like mose my My mentor so a lot of going back and forth to her but I find I know like I know it's kind of a proprietor or software, but youtube is your your best friend when it comes to these things and especially since they're all free to access and and Yeah, like I'd say youtube was like my main Prior to like if I didn't get something I'd just google it or youtube or any kind of form even as well, so um, and I'll say that like I think as members of the design team. We're all really willing to Answer people's questions if they're ever in the design team element Like chat room, but yeah, youtube's a great place and then um, my own question was As you were showing all of the kind of tips and tricks and you know stuff that I'm familiar with But I often have a hard time remembering like sometimes I'll be trying to exclude something or exclude something and Then I choose the wrong one and I was like, I wonder if we could come up with a mnemonic device for remembering like certain groups of features and inkscape that like I don't know it'd be kind of a fun catchy thing. So I don't know something to consider Yeah, that's pretty cool I suppose like different colors and Finding it that way because I find it difficult to sometimes like us the layer meant to be above or below and which one do I select? Yeah, when I'm clipping something it's like oops. I've selected the wrong thing. Um, yeah But yeah, great so far and I I'll let you know at the end if any other questions come in for you guys perfect, um, I suppose one thing as well, uh that I'd like to mention too is um With the multi page feature as well. There's um one thing that It'd be really cool if there was like a pn like you can export all pages as like one pdf um Bosh Yes, I love I love thanks But yeah, I'll move on to marie to talk about badges then so Thank you. Just um I wonder if that's an option already or we could put a feature request in or maybe martin knows the answer if he's with us in chat Um, cool. So today I'm going to talk about badges um This is less of a this is how to use inkscape tool and more of a This is how inkscape has made the fedora community better and stronger and um Improved our culture over many many years So just a tiny bit about me um, I started with badges design and now I'm here I work at red hat as the code of conduct specialist doing code of conduct work and consulting But you might know me as The fedora projects former fcake. So I worked as a community architect in the fedora project for the past three years We recently moved into a code of conduct role um I was introduced to open source in 2013. So Just shy of 10 years ago um a shout out through outreachy and an amazing mentorship program and of course marine duffy my mentor and many A mentor for many other people in the fedora design team Um, I'm also an artist designer and maker. You can see some of my things here on the right side some drawings Some dot paintings some calligraphy and book binding So just thought I'd share that with you as well so Fedora badges If you don't know what they are, I'm just going to give a quick introduction to that They're a huge part of the fedora project culture. So that sub sub project was initiated in 2013 before I came on And the main goal of badges is to recognize contributions to the fedora project It's a gamification system Basically to give ourselves that hit up dopamine and serotonin and make it even more fun and exciting to Be a part of the fedora community. So the back end is built built with terrier and fedora messaging We have some automated badges that connect up to our fedora systems And that's made possible using yaml But the point that I want to talk about is that dozens and dozens of artists have contributed to creating badge art At this point we have 600 plus badge designs and there are requests for probably about 100 or 50 150 more That aren't even graded or haven't been able to be automated at this point Um So there's six main categories that we award badges for and that's content development quality community Events and miscellaneous. We needed a miscellaneous because there's just always those things that come up but here's a social panda badge that I designed for Uh joining a fedora virtual social so back when Badges all started there were some design goals for You know, what we wanted it to be, right? So we wanted to be fun and friendly um Basically tying back to that friend's foundation in the fedora project So we wanted to use that fedora color palette which would tie back to fedora's brand and also keeps the tones kind of lighter Some kind of pastel colors to keep it kind of airy and fun and fresh, right? So we don't have people represented in The badges as humans. We have them represented as animals. So that was another way that we keep it very fun and friendly So we have pandas in there and people ask where the pandas came from and I will tell you it's moe. I think And we also have Badgers snakes I'm sure we'll see color popping up in there now that we have a new mascot um, and back when this all started Comfortog was Like the main fedora type typeface that we used at this point. It's been deprecated um For use in a lot of fedora designs But we've held on to it here because it kind of embodies still that fun and friendly look And we also have that as a basis for some of our other logos like the nest logo that jess was talking about So we've we've held on to it in the badges space So here you can see like the anatomy of a badge We have an outer ring that denotes what category it it falls in background color There's usually a pattern of some kind and then on the top of that lays a graphic So I wanted to showcase the creativity Of our designers and these are all designed by pretty much different people. I think we have a few a few, you know mashups with multiple contributors, but Here you can see we have a similar look and feel across all different badges with all different artists and the creativity that we've been able to express through badges as a fedora design team over the years has been um A really fun part of being a part of fedora and being a part of the badges project As you can see we kind of have cultural references in here um And just you know kind of fun depictions of you know, this one were testing Fedora core os so Or this one I think is for the Community outreach revamps so people all over the world working together This one was for a social at a at a flock event. I believe so Some really really cool art and a chance to make art With each other We've also spent a lot of time passing on uh knowledge about inkscape and badges and fedora culture with design workshops at both flock or in-person conference and nest with fedora our virtual conference So all the way back in 2014 I gave a presentation on the internship. I did with badges And then after that I started giving badge design workshops so that I could add more artists into the folds and You know create more badge designs in general Uh in flock 2019 we had a hack fest and that merged the designers and the developers together to try to improve the system overall um We you know covid happened and things slowed down on that but we still managed to do some Um More workshops and presentations at our virtual event. This here is the badger pado on badge and that is for participating at a workshop a badge design workshop so Very excitingly and very full circle. I was able to mentor a Badges intern over this last summer. I co-mentored with smarigol. We um interned amazingly talented young woman nikita trapathy and We had some Goals for this internship, right? So we wanted to modernize the badge template Um wanted to give it, you know, keep the same feel but update the look a little bit We wanted to update the style guide because things had changed. It was like 10 years or nine years since we had Last made a version of the style guide And then also over the years there were things that kind of slipped through the cracks like We had files exported at the wrong size or maybe we just needed to push A piece of artwork through because we needed it for an event or something else And maybe those didn't fit all of the guidelines that we had in place so Here's an example of A revamp, you know adding the new logo in Using the new template, which I'll show a little bit more in a moment Um And just making sure that it's kind of following these up-to-date style guides So this is what I was talking about here Basically, we move from this design to this design. So this is a bit more focused on the graphic. It's simpler It's dark mode compatible um, and it also in the original design there was some Um, if you get real close in there on the nitty-gritty, there's a little bit going on with the vectors They're not entirely smooth. So we clean those up And it's visually balanced. So Along with that we created new templates. So we have template files To create badges so That kind of just was six templates you get an event template. There's nothing in there You're just kind of starting from scratch, right? So now what we have is instructions in the template We have type B samples in the template. We also have patterns sample graphics And basically a clip so that the artwork is just staying in that badge area instead of kind of Wandering off because we do have you know newcomers and people are new to inkscape Working on this. So we wanted to make it As easy and simple for them to get into designing badges so we also went with An update of the style guides. We wanted to modernize the style guide. This is the one I Created in 2013 2014 and here is the one that Nikita has updated Just this past summer So it kind of has a slicker look updated colors for the new fedora Logo color we have some more recommendations for how to pair the colors together And this is like a 30 page Style guide so this is just one page of it. I wasn't going to go through The entire thing but very excited to use that so If you go to fedora badges right now, you'll probably notice that the new style guide isn't there And there's a couple reasons for that So fedora badges is in the process of getting it overhaul. There was just a meeting yesterday for The redo of fedora badges. I forget what the name of the meeting is called but it's a group of us from the community platform engineering team People from the community people from the fedora design team coming together to Redo the badges site. I mentioned a little bit of that technology that was behind fedora badges And the truth is it's out of date and some of it is no longer maintained So it's been kind of a question for a while of you know, how can we keep this up to date? How can we keep this modern in a way that people want to contribute to the back end and front end of the fedora badges website? So what's going on right now is Exploration development and implementation of a new back end and front end of fedora badges We want to implement that new badge template on 600 plus badges. You'll see I put like a shocked face here because it's going to be a lot of work We want to apply the style guide to all the current artwork. So making improvements And we also along with that kind of need to know the requirements of what that new website will look like, right? So We built our template based on the specifications for this current website So it has like a certain amount of padding in it and for the new website We don't know exactly what those will be. So the reason that we don't have that new template Implemented is because we're you know working with the developers to make sure that we're doing it right the first time We don't want to have to Reduce 600 badges and then reduce 600 badges again And we are looking for people to contribute, you know people Who are already in the fedora community newcomers? And we need all different types of people With different skills and you can be a complete newbie In any of these areas to to contribute to this, right? So We need back end developers front end ui and ux designers slash developers. We need illustrators. We really need illustrators We need people who can do communications and want to do communication So making sure we're getting input from the community Talking about the work that we're doing And we also need project managers so people who can make sure we are on track and we are Adapting to the changes as things happen and maybe we bring new people on where do they fit into the picture So we really need all different types of people to make this implementation Of the new site and the new artwork And over here is the master badge artist. This is if you've designed over 100 badges, I think I also just want to say thanks to the many fedora designers We've had so many people contribute to fedora badges over the years Way more than this list, but it's kind of hard to keep track of everybody So I I got I went to the artwork log and I found, you know, the people who had Contributed at least a handful So thank you so much for your work on fedora badge design over the years And making something really awesome That's At the heart of the fedora community So cool. Thanks for attending. I'm going to stop sharing my screen And so then I can actually take a look at the chat too Yeah, we've got I think two questions for you guys So the first question is In some cases choosing between inkscape and pen pop for a certain graphic design project could be difficult as both Maybe suitable. How do you decide which one you work with per project? Do you have a standard? For this and are there any decisive factors you follow when choosing either one or the other I have a quick answer for this, but i'm i'm also curious jess and madeline what you think about this um I am primarily like an illustrator like Design logo designer, so i'm not doing a lot of like, you know front end development I haven't done a ton with pen pot so far me too is like my home like my bread and butter um And You know a piece of software that i've been using for so long. It's like, you know second nature to me, so My first instinct is usually to go to inkscape, but I think that there's a lot of tools and pen pot that um Are important for other use cases, so I think it depends on what what you're trying to accomplish. That's my input I agree and the the question asker kind of said like they Worthing an example like a presentation could be both design an inkscape and pen pot um And that a digital brand book might be a bit easier to design maintain in pen pod than inkscape um, and I think it Um a big part for me is also just like i'm more comfortable in inkscape um, and you can usually bring think that Most of the time any vector work that you're doing in Inkscape you can bring into pen pot And then vice versa So It like doesn't matter all the time But like pen pot has libraries, so it's great. I don't know you go Jess Yeah, I think Marie and Madeline you both said what was on my mind as well and like pen pot is really great I think for more so the front end as well and user testing and like wash um Wash um emma and um Ashlyn yes Like what they were talking about yesterday about using um pen pot to create the fedora websites like I I think it's it's a much better tool for that like personally and design wise for me It's it's it's inkscape all the way and what's nice about inkscape as well the the way you can transfer a project From inkscape into a pen pot no problem because it takes svg format as well like I've used pen pot as well for like the libraries to and updating the libraries but like the different um the different characters and logos and stuff like that so I suppose like How I use pen pot is more so maintaining it for others to use it if that makes sense so I have a question Jess because I think I remember this coming up, but is there um An issue with pen pot ingredients Yeah, so if you Import the s the svg so like say take calore for example Like when we were trying to import him into it as an svg um The gradient mesh on his belly wouldn't import So we have to import it as a png. We haven't figured out why that is I suppose it's the same as well if you just click on an svg and open it in an image viewer as well It doesn't display the gradient mesh. So I don't know if it's The s the svg format or if it's 10 parts out. So we're still trying to say When pablo was talking on I guess that was Tuesday that we brought that up So maybe that'll be a soon soon to be feature. Yeah fingers crossed The next question is when is the next badge workshop? So When we were first planning this creative freedom summit, it was I think I was calling it the fedora design week and like we were Considering like just trying to work on fedora design for a week and then we said like No, actually it would be better to share with others our knowledge instead of trying to make this internally focused So one of the things that I wanted that I was thinking about for that like previous idea was to do a badges sprint so I think one potential time could be flock or nest or whatever is happening for fedora's conference contributor conference in 2023 So, you know, whatever Whenever wherever that is I'd love to see a fedora badges design workshop, but you know Life is life. I don't know if If it's in person, I'm not sure if I'll make it to be honest, you know, like the world is kind of a crazy place right now. So I'd like to participate and be hands-on for Implementing that new template. So I'm also considering doing a sprint a virtual sprint where We all kind of work on badge designs for maybe a week or something like that I'm also talking with Smera who I mentioned earlier about mentoring another badge intern For this upcoming summer to do all the work Not all but a lot of the work of moving that the artwork from that old template into the new template So there's a couple of things we have That we're looking at for 2023 But you know, maybe one of those things that the intern could work on was, you know Coordinating a sprint, right? And we could kind of put that and put them in charge of that and they would get A taste of you know community building and community organization alongside, you know, the design work Brilliant I think that's really something to look forward to And the last question we have is I tried to do a badge like forever ago. What does happen? What happens on those cases? Do they get reassigned or just lost in time? I think aside from the design part that part of the flow could be improved too Absolutely, um, I'm gonna take partial credit or flame for this, um I think I mentioned it a couple times now, but Uh COVID made life pretty hard There for a while. I had a new job. That was a challenge, you know Working as fedora's community action impact coordinator Um, and that was my first job in community management. So I was learning a lot doing a lot. So I wasn't able to put as much time and energy into badges basically since 2019 so um I think what needs to happen is a triage of that repo and to kind of go back in and make sure Um, you know, people are getting responses. I have stopped filtering the badges emails at my inbox because uh as fk your inbox is a little bit wild um So I'm seeing those notifications. I'm Uh very involved now in this overhaul. I'm gonna co-captain the design part with Emma kidney So I plan to be much more involved in the badge design stuff, you know being in a new role I now have Some more space and of course it's demanding but now working on fedora can kind of be my hobby again um, whereas before it was my full-time plus Paid job day job. So you know with all the other needs that I was fulfilling for fedora. It was a bit hard to Also do badges at the same time Well, I'm glad that it is not going to be as overwhelming anymore for you and for other people who want to contribute Um, and that is it. I don't think there's any more questions. You guys gave such a great presentation It was so great to see all those tips and the history of the badges laid out Bye	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ9JxHRFclI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UChyCebYVT7uuWDacGBXd9fg	Aarhus University Campus in 360 degrees		[ "Aarhus University", "AUTV", "Aarhus Universitet" ]	2020-10-22T12:37:28	2024-02-14T20:05:49	432	VZ-fb33P_3M	The University Park has been voted one of the most beautiful in the world by the Huffington Post and is actually less than 10 minutes from the center of Ohus. Designed by the Danish architect C. F. Möller, the first building was completed in 1933. Many students use the lush green park as a place to relax between classes or to take their studies outdoors. Right here is where the famous boat race takes place every year in late spring. The event is one of the biggest student-led events in Europe and attracts more than 25,000 students. In the notable boat race, the different student clubs race against each other for a chance to win the Golden Bedpan. Yep, I said the Golden Bedpan. These are the student dorms located inside the University Park. These dorms are rare as most of the other university dorms are scattered around the city of Ohus, so most students find themselves living off campus. Though these on-campus dorms don't have meal plans, they do have spacious kitchens that are shared amongst the dorm residents, making it super easy to cook and share meals with your dorm mates. This dorm right here had a very famous resident at one point. The Danish Queen Magrera II actually lived here while she was studying at Ohus University. This building is the Skål Building and is the newest building in the University Park. It was named after one of the University's noble laureates, Jens Køschen Skål, who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1997. This building was inaugurated on the 8th of October in 2018, when Jens Køschen Skål would have turned 100 years old, only a few months after he passed away earlier that same year. Now, his legacy and memory can be appreciated with every student that enters the Skål Building. The Danish Royal Library is the main university library. It holds a copy of everything that's ever been published in Denmark and also contains subscriptions to many international newspapers and journals. Inside the Royal Library, you can find much more than books. The basement of the book tower has a relaxed area, with a ping-pong table, a foosball table, and massage chairs. Above is the Library Garden, an indoor green space that brings nature indoors and serves as a great space to relax when the weather outside might not be as cozy. The Dale T. Mortensen Building is named after one of the University's noble laureates, Dale T. Mortensen, who received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2010. It holds the AU Housing Office and the International Office, where most international students go to check in when they first arrive in Denmark or if they need any help with practicalities during their stay. A few kilometers from the main university campus is the BSS campus, where students studying business will spend most of their time. Besides classrooms and auditoriums, the BSS campus has a library, multiple canteens, several places to study, and the famous Student Bar Kluben, which has been the place to meet for business students in Alhus for more than 50 years. The S Building is the newest building and contains both a canteen, ample study spaces for group work, and is also a place where many big events are hosted, such as the Alhus Symposium, which happens every year in November. The IT City at Katlenebea is situated a few blocks from the University Park. Here you will find the research and teaching facilities within media and information science, computer science, and electronic and computer engineering. Also located in the IT City are several IT companies and startups. Google is just one of the many companies that house their development departments here. Just across the University Park you will find Nobel Park, the area where a majority of the arts programs are located. The Nobel Park has a canteen, classrooms, auditoriums, a library, and study places for both group work and thesis preparation and writing. The Nobel Park is also where most of the AU summer university takes place in between the spring and fall semesters. Situated on the harbor of Alhus is Navy Tass. This is where students within mechanical and civil engineering are placed in the same buildings as technology companies, new startups, and researchers within the area. Navy Tass boasts extensive research facilities that are available to students, and the area also has its own canteen with an amazing view of the harbor and surrounding areas. A few kilometers south of Alhus is the internationally recognized museum Musko. This famous museum is also home to programs within archaeology and anthropology at Alhus University.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ-fb33P_3M", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCCCCKqefeXEx2HdNygrabIA	We intend to do unheard of things - 2015 Achebe Symposium	UMass Amherst Interdisciplinary Studies Institute "Forty Years After: Chinua Achebe and Africa in the Global Imagination," October 14-15 2015, Amherst, MA Panel: Maaza Mengiste; Chuma Nwokolo; Chinelo Okparanta Moderator: Sabina Murray	[ "achebe", "africa", "authors", "panel", "chinua achebe", "literature", "conference", "symposium", "colonial", "post-colonial", "umass", "umass amherst", "interdisciplinary", "amherst" ]	2016-01-26T16:51:52	2024-04-18T18:18:50	5,863	vz5EChXpTVw	Welcome, everyone. I'm so glad to see a good crowd for this event. My panel, our panel for today, is called, We Intend to Do Unheard of Things. And hopefully, some of those unheard of things will happen in the next hour or so. I feel very pleased to have the writers who have gathered with us today. And I'm going to introduce them in the order in which they will be delivering their pieces. The first is Mazamenkiste. Mazamenkiste's first book, Beneath the Lions Gaze, brought an interesting range of voices to address the defining turbulent moments in Ethiopia's history. It garnered a number of awards, and we are all looking forward to Menkiste's next, soon-to-be-published book, The Shadow King. She has written for The New Yorker, The Guardian, Granta, and other prestigious venues. She has held fellowships and residencies at Yaddo, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, the Prague Summer Program, and other places. With her interest in the larger machine of history and the particular voice of ordinary people, she is a very interesting writer to bring to today's discussion. And Chinalo Akparanta has gathered much attention for her books, Happiness Like Water, and Under the Udala Trees. She was named one of Granta's six new voices for 2012, and has had work published in The New Yorker, Granta, Tin House, and other notable publications. Akparanta received her MFA from the Iowa Writers Workshop. She is an O'Henry Award winner and has been shortlisted for a cane prize. Significantly, she received the 2014 Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction. She is an exciting addition to the panel. And in the middle, Chuma. Chuma Umukolo has a wide range of interests. He is a lawyer and editor, essayist and poet, and a fiction writer, and has demonstrated accomplishment in all these modes of expression. He has been writer-in-residence at the Ash Millia Museum in Oxford, and is a publisher of African Writing Magazine. And he has published a number of interesting and well-received books, including the novel Diaries of a Dead African, The Memories of Stove, and The Final Testament of a Minor God. This does not cover all of Umukolo's writing, nor all of his accomplishments, and I haven't addressed any of the lawyer stuff, which shows an impressive level of engagement. I think it's safe to say that Chuma Umukolo is a very busy man, and that we are lucky. He has taken time out of what must be a packed schedule to share his thoughts on Achebe and writing with us. All right, and to that end, I would like to invite Martha. The problem with being short is that people forget I have a neck. But I would like to thank the University of Massachusetts for putting together this symposium to Steven Klingman, Vouter, wherever you are for those emails and the kind of chaotic travel plans that you managed to keep in order. I really would like to thank everyone. Dr. Chidi, it was, if he's here, it was really incredible to hear your words. And I was particularly moved with the speakers from yesterday and gave me much to think about last night as I was kind of organizing and reorganizing what I would say. So I did not drink as much wine as I would have liked, but I do thank all the speakers. I've been really struck by kind of the title of this panel, We Intend to Do Unheard of Things. And so it's under that influence that I will speak today. There is a saying in Ethiopia, when the one who will be killed is in the presence of the killer, there is freedom. In that moment, there is nothing left to lose. It is possible even to do unheard of things. I am in London on a cold November morning and the last of the 900,000 ceramic red poppies will be placed around the Tower of London, one for every soldier from the UK and the Commonwealth who died during the First World War. It is a scorching August day. And the world has fallen silent as a young man in an orange jumpsuit is paraded across a sandy hill and made to kneel. It is April and another group of young men, black like me, are marched across both sea and sand and forced onto their knees. I turn my head, I close my eyes, I shut my ears, unheard of things. Chinua Chebe says all those men in Nazi Germany who put their talent in the service of racism have been generally and rightfully condemned for their perversions. He seems to imply that in the end, true talent cannot be twisted. A gift cannot be subverted and subsumed by evil. The talent is a virtue, stalwart, loyal as a well-trained soldier. Arthur Rambo gave up the pretense of poetry, a Chebe says, when he opted, or gave up the pretense of poetry, a Chebe says when he opted for slavery. But I have been to Harrah, a city where Rambo lived. I have seen some of his belongings. I know that when he put down the pen, he picked up the camera. I have borne witness to his vision of those with skin just like mine. There is beauty in the frame. There is poetry. Poetry surely can only be on the side of man's deliverance and not his enslavement and this I want to believe. Like some of you in here, I come to this language of English secondhand. I have fallen between its cracks trying to trudge my way towards comprehension. I have marveled at its flexibility, but never so much as in recent years. I have seen what I have seen and what we have seen is language forced into the service of violence. A rhetoric of desperation and devastation molded into the incomprehensible, then vomited out in images and words that we cannot ignore, though we have tried. It is strong enough to reside in troubling landscapes, malleable enough to be both poetic and cruel. It has the capacity to draw us in and push us back and send us spinning with speechless grief. And while those red ceramic poppies want to remind us of the transcendent power of memory and imagination, the ISIS videos want to drive home that we are in the end, no more than our bodies. That we are all shatterable, interchangeable political symbols knotted around a stoppable heart. Both the installation and the videos demand that we take note and look. In both instances, our gaze is the first step in receiving a prescribed message. Yet to watch the ISIS videos involves a heart-rending complicity with the murderers. Our gaze would be an instrument in the oppression depicted, a continuation of the vulgar narrative. But it is a narrative. It is language. It communicates. It is poetry because it is a language of representation. All those men clad in orange, dragged across sand and sea, have been reduced to brightly colored metaphors. All those poppies, blood red and stuck in dirt around the Tower of London Moat, were once full-bodied men strung across battlefields. One reminds us cruelly of our fragility. The other tries valiantly to shield us from the stink and rot that also makes up who we are. I'm speaking of violence that is put on display. At its most aesthetic, it strips back and erases a harsher reality. At its most garish, it is a billboard for all our most human and most primal fears. A symbolic language come to us so fully and frightfully formed that we have not always found the words to confront it. When it comes to war, when it comes to violence, it seems that we have not always been able to keep up. We have not always been able to locate the vocabulary that will take us from shock and stunned silence towards a coherent and visceral speech, one as strong as the force that is charging at us. I've long believed in a concerned writer's need to look at photographs and images of violence. The power of our particular gaze has the ability to reshape a narrative and turn victim into human being. But then came the videos, then came the requests by the families of the victims to remember them as they had been alive and active rather than as they were intended. Yet in the aftermath of the shock, in the deliberate decision to look away, where is there to settle a gaze when turning away feels like forgetting? To look is to be a pawn in the propaganda, to turn away is its own kind of acquiescence, one that renders these victims as simple symbols. I know what Acebe is saying. I believe in what he says. I believe that art carries the potential for vast and dramatic change, but it also carries discomfort and it is by its nature both a tool and a weapon, both a salve and poison. It is not only the righteous woman who holds a gift, it is not only the truth teller who can and should be heard. If language can withstand and support the heaviest, most brutal of activities, then that is also a testament to its inherent strength, one that can allow us transcendence and peace. But the stakes are high. And though they may be no higher than they have been in other decades and centuries, you and I are here now in this moment in history. And somewhere in this swirling of unpredictability and ever-shifting alliances is the writer's place. For years I have been searching for that point on the axis on which good seems to pivot too easily towards bad. I want to know where the ground begins to shift and how language both erodes and glues it back together and what there is to be done about it. I am talking about my responsibility, about our duty in the face of those unspeakable and unheard of things. How do we begin to construct a vocabulary if all we can do is stand in numb and silent grief? What is there to really see of those who once stood and then were forced to kneel if all we do is look away? I am asking who will stand in the bloody fields and make the world understand that a poppy can never recreate a full-bodied man, no matter how lovely. I am not sure that language can grow to its full potential if we choose to leave certain words unsaid, if some things are deemed too hideous to understand, if we must distance ourselves from all that does not hold sway to our own beliefs. And this is where I am today, wondering about the writer's role when there seems there is nothing we can say to change anything. What I have begun to think, that before the word comes the image, that before we describe, we must first be willing to look. We must stare, then verbalize, then reclaim. We cannot, we learn to comprehend what is in front of us by writing, by recreating in such a way that we urge others not to turn aside. There are those who came before us, who have looked and written and forced our gaze towards greater empathy and our language towards greater capacity. Here are just a very few. Chinua Chebe, James Baldwin, Baalu Gurma, Usman Semben, Asya Jabbar. But they would be no more than mere voices, unintelligible words carried through empty space. If we, if I, if all of us did not take part in their protest against silence and read. Thank you. Good afternoon. Okay, and if I would say, I should say it again. Good afternoon. Thank you, Uncle Uke. Okay, so thank you so much, Steven. Thank you to Valter. Thank you to UMass. It's an honor and a privilege to be here. So I will, the complete quote from Chinua Chebe was let no one be fooled by the fact that we may write in English, for we intend to do unheard of things with it. So I will talk about language and my relationship to it, but before that I'll talk about my relationship with Chinua Chebe. The morning of March 21st, 2013, at about 7 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, I woke to the news that Chinua Chebe had died. I read it on the internet. I sat in shock for nine minutes, nine minutes exactly. I know this because I keep very close watch of time, mornings especially. After those minutes I reached for my cell phone, sent text message notifications about Chebe's death to my mother and sisters, all several states away. Perhaps they had not yet heard the news and I reasoned and I was right. Later while I talked with my mother, she would make a soft wailing sound that I've come to associate only with Nigerian women and she would lament and ebou. Ohotu siwe mou, so this is how he died. Of course, Chebe was 82 years old and ill and my mother, sisters and I were well aware of these facts, so there should not have been any shock at his death. But it was shocking, all the same, perhaps because there are those elders amongst us, amongst us, sages, who we inadvertently come to view as being outside the wingspan of death. Following the lamentation, I went about my day as people in mourning often do. I dressed all in black, although quite subconsciously. There was an aura of disbelief, sadness as I walked out the door, as I got into my car, as I drove to the university, even as I taught my classes. On returning home, I found a request waiting for me on my computer, an invitation to write a piece, a tribute to Chinua Chebe. This was the tribute that I wrote. But before I wrote it, my first instinct was to decline, of course. I never knew Chebe in the flesh, never had the opportunity to meet him. I have no family ties to him. Chimamanda Dichie tells of living in the house where the Achebe's once lived. Okendebe talks of interviewing him and working with him on the African Writers series. There are many such anecdotes of people who knew the man, but I have no such anecdote to share. I am evil, yes, the same as he was, and people will notice the similarity in our names, but same tribe and similar names do not a connection make. So what could I possibly have to say about a man I never met? I sat at my desk, ready to politely decline the request, but somewhere between clicking the reply button and typing the first line of the email, a thought occurred to me that there was never a time in my conscious childhood when I did not know Chino Achebe's name. Indeed, it is impossible to pinpoint the first time I heard it. His name was something like water, something like air, an ongoing and essential part of my existence, though often taken for granted. It was spoken all around and followed me like a shadow, and with the name also the lines which back then we recited as a song. Things fall apart and the center cannot hold. Mayor Anarchy is loosed upon the world. We sang the words, my siblings and I, not really understanding their meaning and certainly having no clue about their origin and youth. Back then we watched television dramatizations of things fall apart. We laughed at Okonko, then sighed over his death. Back then I had not yet read the novel. And years later when I did, I relived the devastation of the arrival of the colonialists and I relived Okonko's death just as vibrantly as I'd experienced it in those television dramatizations many years earlier. Last year a story of mine was bought by conjunctions, the magazine at Bard College. As I was unfamiliar with the journal, I decided to browse their website and in doing so, I ran into a recording of Chinoachebe in which he read a poem. He had written the poem in honor of his friend, Christopher Okibu, an Igbo man killed in the Nigeria Biafra war. The poem is written in the style of an Igbo traditional dirge. It goes, Obonekainacho, Obonekainacho, Okibukainacho, in Zuma Liso. There was something devastatingly moving about this poem for me. At the time I attributed the effect to its topic, but this was only part of the cause. The other factor was that never before had I heard literature, aside from the stories my mother used to tell when we were children, spoken in my native language. I listened to Ochebe. I listened to the beautiful cadence, the lilt of my mother tongue as it flowed from his mouth. And in that moment, English sieved to exist. I was thousands of miles away from Nigeria, but in that moment I was home. It's important to explain that the poem is essentially a chant sung by young people when a member of their age group dies prematurely. It is a call and response sort of recitation. The refrain, Zuma Liso, is a combination of the words zoe hide and mali, which is a playful sort of sound, which could loosely be translated as hiding in play. And so it is that the singers are just saying that their friend is merely hiding, not dead because of course they cannot bring themselves to believe that he's actually gone. They sing this song throughout the night and in the morning when they still do not see their friend, they finally admit that he has died. Reading the news of Ochebe on March 21st, 2013, I thought back to this poem. Of course, Ochebe was far from my age mate and his death was not exactly premature. Still, I could not bring myself to believe that he was dead. What are we looking for? What are we looking for? Ochebo is who we're looking for. He's hiding in play. Lines later, the poem continues in slightly muddled order. Esiteku, onega balai. Ese togu, onega balai. Obone kaynapo, Ochebo kaynapo, Zuma Liso. If a new dance is learned, who will dance for us? When war is declared, who will shoot for us? The dance has stopped suddenly. Our mask has departed in the heat of the festival. The rains have drenched the hero. Who is it that we are calling? Ochebo is who we are calling. He's hiding in play. Though intended for Christopher Ochebo, these are the lines I now associate with Ochebo himself, Ochebo from whom I drew my inspiration to write whose name existed in my mind long before I was aware of its significance. Whose voice made me feel at home again, though I was continents away. A man, despite my never having met him, whose loss I mourned with every fiber of my being. And so, just as he once called on Christopher Ochebo, in memoriam, I call on him now. Chinu alamo, guachepe. The rains have drenched you too. May your name continue to be called upon. Now and forevermore, may it remain untarnished. Though you no longer breathe, may you live through the breaths of those who speak your name. And may you rest in peace. So now, like I said about my first encounter with Ochebe's reading of the Ochebo poem, there was something moving about hearing him read it because I had not heard Ibo spoken in literature since I was a tiny little girl in Nigeria. These days in my own writing, I try to pass forward the gift that Ochebe give to me. I use Ibo freely in my writing so that perhaps one day when some Ibo man or woman or girl or boy so far away from home inadvertently falls into my work, he or she will instantly be transported back to the warmth of home. In my novel, Under the Udala Trees, I choreograph a happy dance between Ibo and English. And of course, for practical reasons, which we talked about yesterday, English takes the greater part. But Ibo gets a good share. In the novel, I allow my characters to sing folk tale songs that my mother used to sing to me. War chants. Ochebo is a Biafranine, Emmerianaburi, naburi enahoro, Yakubugawon, Emikemerian Biafran. I think some of us Biafrans know this song, though. Maybe you're kidding me, Dove. Bible verses. Nihin ka kamoke garapun naya na nea. Woke na mune, Adam naive. Keme uchegi nowa. Kese meya ne luigwe folk tale songs. And I could sing many and many of them. Traditional women songs. And I know Chika knows this one. Most Ibo people know. Woni hem nevi weyabiko weboya selen. Osukoso wampi yabiko suboya selen. Okay, so these are all of my writing. And all of us Ibo people will know it. And we will enjoy it. And other people will read and also learn and enjoy and dance to it. Because, of course, there are people who go out of their way to learn French, Spanish, Mandarin, Chinese, Cantonese, Swahili, Arabic. My hope is that one day they will also go out and learn Ibo. Perhaps one day Ibo will be a solidly teachable language with a generally agreed upon standard set of linguistic rules. And it will flourish just as English or French, Chinese, or any other language. But, of course, not at the expense of these other languages. For in this instance, we need not do to others as has been done on to us. After all, the world is big enough for many languages to peacefully coexist. Peaceful coexistence rather than dominance and subjugation or total elimination. Inclusivity rather than exclusivity. In the meantime, until that becomes a reality, I hope that we Ibo people are unafraid to insert our language into our literature without judgment against ourselves and with the confidence that those readers who matter will take the initiative to research and to understand and to enjoy the lyrical beauty of our language. And now, to Achebe's essay on Conrad, which is the reason we're all here. Achebe, in his essay, An Image of Africa writes of the Western desire. One might indeed say the need in Western psychology to set Africa up as a foil in Europe, or shall we say in the West? To set Africa up as a place of negations at once remote and vaguely familiar in comparison with which Europe's, or shall we say the West's, own state of spiritual grace will be manifest. Now, Africa is not a country, but sometimes the easiest way to address us as a unified whole is to address us as if we were one country. So please excuse me for taking the liberty with doing just this now. Which is all just to say that indeed Achebe is correct. As a writer, I write stories of Nigerians at home and away. Some of the comments that I often get from my Western readers are along the lines of, what a shame that women in Africa are still so behind, still struggling for equality, still stuck with having to establish their social status. What's all this obsession with marriage and men, with having children? Can you speak to the status of the struggle of women in Nigeria? Or, isn't it crazy all those bombings in Abuja? How terrible that Nigeria is still having ethnic violence. Or regarding the LGBTQ community in Nigeria. Isn't it terrible that Africa still hasn't developed itself enough to be accepting of the LGBTQ community? Isn't it terrible, isn't it terrible, isn't it terrible? Isn't it terrible about all those cheap old girls who got kidnapped so sad, what Nigeria is allowing to happen to its children? And the comments go on and on and on. But the truth is, one has only to look honestly to see that the Western world is not much different from Africa, that Africa's issues are the West's issues as well. Marriage rights aside, the LGBTQ community is daily persecuted here in the US. One only has to ask personal questions to individual members of the community to find this out. Even in the Western world, women are still expected to stay at home with children while men work. A recent survey I read indicated that over 60% of Americans believe that it is the women's role to stay home and watch the kids while it is the men's job to go out and work. Even in the Western world, women are daily abandoned by men and left to be single parents. Even in the Western world, the pressure for women to bear children is still a burden. Hence, Western women's worries about freezing their eggs. Just a different manifestation of the same African women's preoccupation, which is all just to say that we live in one world. We share the same preoccupations, only that these preoccupations manifest in slight variations, shades of the very same color. Even in the Western world, children still suffer abuse. Even in the West, school shootings and racial violence abound in parallel fashion to ethnic tribal violence in African countries. Did you know that there have been over 150 school shootings in America since 2013? Essentially nearly one a week on the average. This I like to point out when they point out the bombings in Abuja for me. There's Sandy Hook Newton, Newton, Connecticut, Columbus, Ohio, Littleton, the list goes on and on. I was teaching at Purdue University in West Lafayette when the shooter shot and killed somebody. As an asphoracial violence index, we have the cases of Michael Brown, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, many, many more, whose names just did not happen to make the news. These are all examples of terror-like violence in the United States. Even in the West, there is evidence of poor government. We have the case of the financial crisis. Even in the West, there's rampant unemployment, there's nepotism, there's corruption, there's political scandal. Just maybe the West is slightly more skilled at hiding its corruption and scandal. Just maybe the West even goes so far beyond being skillful at hiding its corruption and scandal. Maybe it's good at exploiting the situation. Maybe it's good at intruding and exploiting other cultures as well. Presenting itself as doing a service when all too often its purpose is to profit from someone else's belongings. Maybe Africa is just a little more honest about itself. Maybe Africa just wears its heart on its sleeves, does not expend energy pretending to be better than it is. Does not deny or attempt to gloss over its growing pains. Well, sometimes I ask myself, well, who would you rather deal with? Because I do belong to both sides. I am an American and I am Nigerian. Would you rather deal with the one who tells you exactly who they are or the one who pretends to be something other than themselves? And I think of the dating process because I like to talk a lot about dating. A young girl goes out on a date, spends two years dating a young man. He presents himself so ideally that of course she falls for him. This is American branding, the American dream. She falls for him, they get married and it's not until they are married that his true colors start to come out. He beats her, he stops doing any house work, expects her to do it all. He allows his temper to rain freely, et cetera, et cetera. Another scenario, a young man who has taken the time to know himself tells the young woman exactly who he is, what he wants, his desires, children, no children, pet peeves, et cetera. She does not have to waste two years of her life only to wind up with someone who is not what he professes to be. Countries and continents are often like people, unsurprising as they are in fact made up of people. Perhaps in a more ideal world, we might realize that there is greater strength, greater integrity, greater power in being able to look oneself honestly in the mirror and acknowledging that one is not really better than anyone else. Perhaps in a more ideal world, we might realize that there is greater strength, greater integrity, greater power in being humble about oneself. All of this of course is not to say that Africa is not flawed, that Nigeria is not flawed, that it should not try to improve upon itself. Rather, all of this is simply to say that the same way that this burden to grow, to develop, to become better, to improve upon ourselves, rests upon African nations, it also rests on the West. From an honest, global perspective, there is no one side that is truly better than the other. Thank you. Good afternoon, everybody. Good afternoon. Oh yeah, thank you. I didn't have to say that again. My presence here is a little adventure. I won't tell you anything about it, so you can buy the book on it. When I own retire from my retirement. But in the meantime, I'm really grateful to the university for having me and for all those who have made it a really interesting visit. We shall do unheard of things. I'd like to call this, is this a paper if you read it from an electronic device? I'd like to call this paper The Extended Family and the Trojan Horse. And I'd like to quote a poem by Chinua Chebe, which he had written. It's called The Relictions in his Collected Poetry. Where does a runner go whose oily grip drops the button handed by the faithful one in a hard, merciless race? Those are the lines I like to look around in this paper. Now I have read and re-read the lecture and image of Africa, seeking a central idea to fashion into a button. Unfortunately, all ancestors of Chebe's pages drip with wisdom. And it seems easier sometimes to simply roll them all into a scroll to run with. But if I were pressed on the point, I would say that Chinua Chebe tried to break one respectable intellectual tool on which institutional racism filed its iron tooth. He ends his lecture in these words and I quote, perhaps a change will come. Perhaps this is the time when it can begin. When the high optimism engendered by the breathtaking achievements of Western science and industry is giving way to doubt and even confusion. There is just the possibility that Western man may begin to look seriously at the achievements of other people. I read in the papers the other day a suggestion that what America needs at this time is somehow to bring back the extended family. And I saw in my mind, I future African Peace Corps volunteers coming to help you set up the system. I think you're looking at them now. Now the extended family is a sexy concept in political science, the idea of government organizing policy, not on the basis of modern isms, but on the immemorial idea that every man, woman and child in a clan or state is a member of the head of clan or head of state's extended family. In a sense, it is already in practice all over the world. The only problem being that the current constitution of the head of state's extended family, instead of every man, woman and child, consists of special interests, cliques and ruling classes. Now I will now spend a few minutes to introduce a Trojan horse in my title, which is an important member of the extended families and state houses across the world today. In doing so, we will not try to let the button drop by having a go at another respectable intellectual which sharpens a bug beer of Achebe's life. This is the iron tooth of bad governance. The definitive horror story of my teenage years was actually a slim science fiction novel by Robert Heinlein called The Puppet Masters. Has anybody read it here? The Puppet Masters. Well, it's out of fashion, it's not a literary text, but he was written in the 50s and the plot was simple. Earth was invaded by parasites, which took over the human race one person at a time. Conversion was by contact and the ultimate horror was having a loved one turn into an automaton, their loyalty switching from family, country, or race to the invaders from outer space. Of course, if Heinlein's aliens were to arrive on earth today, they would find that they were hundreds of years too late because when the colonial history of the world is written, there is usually a focus on the wrong colonists. The British, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese colonists eventually left. But there is another race of colonials who did not really leave their colonies in America or Asia or Africa and who are in the commanding heights not just of the African political economy, but the walls. The story may have started in the first flush of colonialism. In 1600, the East India Company was established primarily for profit, but for a hundred years, it also ran the India State House. This became the norm. Not America's state houses were run by governments of the company by the company for the company. Long before President Lincoln's Gettysburg address in 1863. The Masachi Sets Bay Company first settled and governed the land on which we stand and set in your case. The Hudson Bay Company once owned and governed the full 12% of the earth, of the land mass of earth, before birth in Canada. And Africa? Africa first appeared in the global imagination as tracks of land, political estates managed by companies like the Imperial British East African Company, the German East Africa Company, the British South African Company. And then on a plot of land acquired from my village in Asaba, Goldie's Royal Niger Company politically governed and commercially exploited the northern and southern protectorates of Nigeria until 1900 when they surrendered their governmental ambitions for a payday just shy of a million pounds, 1900 money. But they didn't go home. Like the Hudson Bay Company, a survivor of the Royal Niger Company retained their commercial remits and is active on the stock exchange today. I'm talking of USC PLC in Nigeria. I give you the Trojan Horse. The corporation is a curious thing, demonized by many, they are indispensable to life as we know it today. Scriptile into the DNA of the company is the one gene that a human being is most envious of, immortality, because a well-run company need never die. However rich we are, however well we care for ourselves, you and I will eventually pass on. The well-run company need never die. It need never have its UMass PhD moth-bound, to never have its assets divvied up between debt, duty and children. It continues to acquire assets and experience to merge and to moth. And that is a good thing for us. Yet there's one thing about the corporation that continues to trouble us and that is the fact that it does not go to church. In place of a moral compass, a company's religion is to be large enough to survive any order of natural disaster. But with size and power comes complications. Corporations have become so powerful that although they are under the rule of law, they have the clout not only to omit rules, but laws as well. Although they have no right to vote, they can influence the composition of governments, the establishment of policy. And when it comes to corruption in Africa, corporations are major partners and vehicles of commercial and political corruption, all over the world for that matter. In attempting to pick up an Achebian baton, one has to understand the tragic trajectory of not just Achebi, but all the writers of his generations. From books to assert the manifest destiny of the African to rule himself, they turned to writing books that bemoaned the imminent despair of African self-rule. They lived to write for a revolution, lived to write against revolutionaries. Africa is constantly instructed to build institutions not men. We need strong institutions, go to mantra, not strong men. But a follow-centric 21st century manifestation of the institutional has welded public and private interests. Public-private partnership is a buzzword, I think. Into partnerships like defense industries, prisons, correctional firms, et cetera, whose combined vested interests, whether rooted in the north or south, west or the rest of us, are wholly inimical to humans, not just Africans in the global imagination. In the trouble with Nigeria, ancestor Achebi said that the problem with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership. There is nothing basically wrong with the Nigerian land or climate or water or air or anything else. The Nigerian problem is the unwillingness or inability of its leaders to rise to the responsibility, to the challenge of personal example, which are the hallmarks of true leadership. He was wrong. I suppose you did tell us that we could disagree with. It is also wrong, though, to argue that since the 170 million followers lacked the courage or will, power to recycle their morally bankrupt leaders, the problem is simply and squarely a failure of followership, either. That would convert this critical question into a chicken and egg conundrum. Africa had her clutch of good rulers, but Mandela's and Sankara's will inevitably give way to Zoomers and Compaorates. And there is nothing a good leader does in four years that a bad leader cannot undo in four weeks. So we must look squarely instead at the system, which can restrain the excesses of a bad leader and enable the vision of a good. We must look instead at the puppet masters that work the levers of our leaders and followers alike. We must look instead at the Trojan horses left on the colonial beaches of our Pyrrhic victories and independence. In addition to the billions lost to direct political corruption, the Economic Commission for Africa estimates that illicit financial flows from Africa, top 50 billion dollars per annum, double the annual ODA sent to the continent. In critiquing bad governance today, there is no north-south divide, just like Chinelo had expressed earlier. Come around morning, the power lost at returns of a Google or a Tesco. It's just as instructive as American public policy blowing in a metered wind, stirred by parks and super parks. It is not Africa versus the west and the rest. Even though the global south comes off worse in the coalition with bad governance, the north cannot be sanguine. In every country, there are men, women, and children on the bread line. And they suffer disproportionately the brunt of bad governance and the victimhood of Trojan horses. Surely you might think some countries benefit in some way, but I still recall a horde of coins at the Ashmolean Museum. It was discovered in a field and it was deposited in a museum intact, a horde of gold coins. And it was up to you as a novelist or as a spectator to make up the story behind this horde of coins. Because beside it in the Ashmolean was the mummy, the mummified body of a child who probably died of some disease, which might have been healed by some expenditure of money. And this was like a metaphor for what does happen today when huge stores of wealth are kept separate from the need that it can meet. And so, yes, monies go to countries and satisfy needs, but we still have to come back to this issue of in our state of governance, although the world's population of seven billion people does not include a single company with a voter's card. In most state houses in the world today, there are Trojan horses in residence. This then is the nature of the baton that actually has commonly slipped to us, as slippery as hell. We are to disinfect an alien Trojan that we think we invented to convert a manufactured horse with a mind of its own into a beast that truly serves humanity. Because the corporation is a species of economic intelligence, one of the most innovative inventions of the human race. Here are immortal, incorporeal beings, aliens almost, because you cannot touch a company. They can be wiser and richer than Solomon, control more territory and resources than many states. Indeed, some companies have more staff than nations have, citizens. And for all their size, they are extremely nimble. If you want to mobilize men and materials to achieve any human goal under the sun, if you can pay for it, invite a tender. Actually eloquence refuter of Conrad's racism 40 years ago is confounded by the state of our continent. Our leadership and followership have the apportion of the blame for sure. But we also have puppet masters at work on both leaders and followers who have had hundreds of years of experience in this game, more than we flesh and blood can ever acquire. Yet this horror story is not irredeemable. Our challenge is simply to speak intelligent economics to economic intelligence. Now, of course, I believe I've run out of time and it only remains for me to invite you to visit bribecode.org. That's the commercial section of this. That is really where I address the way to actually mix these issues. Otherwise, we can extend this conversation at question time. Thank you very much for your attention. Thank you. Thank you to our speakers. I do want to invite people to ask questions. I'm going to jump in with a question just to start us off. And I hope it will inspire other people to leap up and start a good argument with these people who are all adequate to a good fight, I'm sure. I want to ask you, just as a fiction writer, I'm listening to all of your different perspectives and I've read your work. And as people who are well-informed and articulate and engaged, I'm curious to know why fiction. Because to me, it's the truest form of literature. With fiction, ironically, I can be the most honest. Fiction also allows us to open the door for these conversations to be had. Some things I write if I wrote as non-fiction, the attacks would be personal. And it doesn't really lead anywhere. And I think fiction allows that distance so that we can actually engage in conversation with certain things. Not always, there are exceptions, of course, but for me, that's how I see it. But I think fiction allows me to lie properly. All my writing is truth. But I have two painful experiences, realize how dangerous it is to write about yourself and to write truthfully about yourself. If you do that, you do it purely for yourself in the form of a diary. But with fiction, I can lie inventively, effectively, and so it works. But I do not, obviously, there are certain other inspirations that arrive vertically. And you have to be true to that inspiration. Sometimes they arrive with too much immediacy for the veils of it, a poetry or fiction. And then you have to really get on your feet and do things, you know, become activist about it. So I think I'm almost repeating what the other two panelists have just said really eloquently. But I'm reminded of something that one of my first professors in my writing program told me when I was really debating about my qualifications as a fiction writer to write about a revolution that took place in Ethiopia in the 1970s. And I had almost convinced myself that this was the territory of the historian or the political scientist or the sociologist. And I wasn't quite sure that fiction could carry the weight of this kind of tragedy. And he said to me, fiction is the way to do this. And it might, in fact, be the only way because fiction tells a truth that history cannot. And I ran home and wrote it down and put it on my computer. And that's what gave me the motivation to write this. And to believe that fiction, as the two of you have said, does carry a weight and a truth that I think is the only way sometimes to tell a story. You mentioned vast potential for change in your talk. That was very, I think, an emotionally charged and challenging way of looking at the potential of fiction. Potential for change, what do people think about that? What kinds of change are we trying to affect as writers? Who address these difficult topics in our fiction? The change fiction can, in fact, is always very, it's not direct and it's the most effective. These ladies actually messed up my performance because I came a little bit more combative, but I was almost in tears after listening to what they were saying. And I think that is the impact of fiction. It comes at you in a very indirect way. The punchy delivers are sucker punches most of the time, but they don't hit you where the writer intended. It has a life of its own. Books grow with readers. When you read it in your teens, it makes one sense. You read it at an 80-year-old. It makes a totally different sense. So they create a life of their own and the change is also like that. Who knows what a certain book will mean? A hundred years, 200 years after it's written. So that's the nature of the change. It's never what the writer intends. He writes it and it becomes irrelevant, but if it is powerful, it endures. And this has been something that's been popping up at tables, casual conversations over drinks that people will drop in these books that at some point meant one thing to them and then you pick them up, you know, 20 years later or 10 years later. A book that's come up a few times is The Palm Wine Drinker and how the first time that it was read, it meant one thing. Looking back on it from more perspective, it means another thing. Since we're talking about the works of Achebe, it would seem that maybe this same kind of reaction is possible with things fall apart in his other works. And I do want to think about this. There's actually a line in Chuma's book about three quarters of the way through where he says, the character says, why must we all write like Achebe? I think that this is an interesting question to pose now with two Nigerians on the panel and an Ethiopian writer, especially after we've been informed that, you know, what is Africa? Africa is, you know, it's a company construct. It's something that's emerged in the global imagination as monitored by Achebe. So I'm just wondering, you know, must we write like Achebe? And what does it mean to write like Achebe or to not write like Achebe? OK. OK. Well, the first thing that I like to say is that Achebe himself was a product of this Igbo storytelling tradition. So he did not come out of nowhere. And some of us also are products of that Igbo storytelling tradition. And so we also write in similar fashionings sometimes to the way he writes, you know, some of us do. But it's not necessarily that people are trying to write to a certain kind of writing or to a certain canon of literature or that sort of thing. I think we just, this is what humanity is, that we come from somewhere, we all come from somewhere. And, you know, had there been people who had the same resources that Achebe did at the same time, there might be other Achebes. And so that, you know, it would not be that anybody is trying to write like anybody else, but they just came from somewhere, from the same history, the same culture, the same tradition. But I don't think we all have to write like him, but it's totally personal. Some of us can, if we like it, some of us can. We don't have to. I think on Okendebe's timeline, I think one of his, one of his numerous fans once attacked him in a critical intervention to accuse him of plagiarizing Achebe. And he pointed out several obvious points of contact, of plagiarism. And the accusation flew for a few minutes and Okendebe, which is not normally not advisable, but in this case, perhaps understandable, by explaining that Chinua Achebe did not invent a lot of the towns or idioms that he used. He was simply part of a tradition which he gave voice to and he quite adequately met that accusation. And obviously the reader came back. He was outside the Igbo tradition. He came back with an apology. And it's the same thing for me. I came to Achebe through my mother. And for many years after I got into the books, I tried to separate which ones were my mothers and which ones were Achebe's and which ones were really the culture, the tradition. My mother would have written like Achebe or maybe Achebe would have written like my mother. She was another great idiomatic speaker. Her language was rich and layered. And I later discovered it was not unique to her. She was simply an extremely good student of the culture. And if I go to Asaba, go to Achala, go to Ibuzo, I know the old people I can sit at and I would be inundated by proverbs, idioms, concepts, deeper than Achebe. So it's not true that we can all write like Achebes. We can actually write better than Achebe if you are a good student because Achebe is not superior to his culture. It's not superior to his tradition. He's simply a good student who gave good account of gifts he had. Also that the character he quoted is not me. He was simply saying what he thought. Yeah. So this is very interesting. I just need to let everyone know that the center of the world is really Ethiopia. I mean, it's not Nigeria. It's not Nigeria in my world. So my first introduction to Achebe was in college. And before that, in Ethiopia too, the literature there because of the differences in language and the nature of the publishing industry is that we had our own Achebes. And we had, it's interesting to speak of maybe things fall apart and how that might be interpreted in Ethiopia, which had a history of Italian presence for five years. But it's a different kind of colonialism. Whereas maybe literature from Somalia or Eritrea or Libya might resonate a little bit more than Achebe because of the history of Italian presence in those countries as well. It's different. So I had my own writers to look at when I was wondering if it's possible that an Ethiopian could throw aside her parents' dreams that she'd become a doctor. Yeah, I see everyone understands that. And that's universal. And, you know, and become a writer. I was looking at Dania Chaworku and Sahle Selase. And these other writers, by the way, who had been published by Heinemann, which was a way that I could read them. So there was that connection there. But I remember my introduction to Chino Achebe was at the university in Michigan. And I happened to be taking a class where I was reading, I remember Professor Lemuel Johnson, who was just a dynamo in the classroom. I will never forget him because he instilled in me this enthusiasm and passion for literature. And I remember this man who was probably my height, if my memory, and I'm not tall. And, you know, he's just running back and forth in front of the classroom, just enthusiastic. So, oh my gosh, I love this man. You know, then these books, I'll read anything. And so that was, you know, and so reading Achebe under that spirit of that professor was profound. But it was also in that class that I was introduced to the works of Amma Atta Aidu and Our Sister Killjoy. And that book completely changed for me what fiction could do. So it was reading the both of them together that I began to understand maybe a place that I might have in literature. Do you have some time for a couple more questions from the audience, maybe? Yes, Chika. Well, thank you to Matzah and Chuma and Chinyelo for the wonderful presentations. I mean, from the deeply reflective to the, you know, provocative, it was really, really, really awesome. And because we've touched on bad government and corruption and Africa and reading and Chinyo Achebe, I'd like to know if you had to recommend a book for Mugabe to read, one of Chinyo Achebe's books for Mugabe to read, what would you recommend? And also Matzah, everybody else in the audience, Nigeria is the center of the world, period. I know what you mean. Booklist for Men Without Ears. Did you write that? Actually, I have a lot of admiration for Mugabe. I go into, I start with history. I am, he was an inspirational character in the way he fought the liberation war, his prevations, his discipline, he was an intensely disciplined man. Everything started falling out gradually after the accession to power. I don't always forget, we shouldn't always forget the amount of intellectual work he did. He's better read than me and many other African leaders, best educated president in the world, I believe. So I don't know that he has not read all of Chinyo Achebe's books, but it's not what you read, it's what you retain. I think the, what for me, you know, destroys his legacy, is really the position of self and the community. My poem identity talks about the question of the readiness of a man to give himself for his people. And so that I think is what tarnishes the image and I would simply recommend a man of the people because of the ending to remind him that there is an ending, there will be an ending and after that it's a legacy we talk about. I think that was a good recommendation. I think things fall apart would be a good one just because there's a way in which we learn from someone else's self-destruction and what leads to that. So when we see a concord and you know, there's a lesson to be learned even from a concord's own decline and not that I'm going to, I'm not, you know, encouraging anybody to climb here but there are just lessons to be learned, many lessons from things fall apart and it's also the one, the work of his that I know the best. I'm going to jump on Chica's question because I thought that was great. Just because I, you know, I'm somebody who's long believed that fiction has a particular power and the way that we recall things, we were talking a bit about this at lunch yesterday. If you think about Victorian England, you always, you know, my teacher on that is Dickens. Why would my teacher be a fiction writer on that? But it has a particular power. So given this, the idea that I'm just, if we're going to think about knowledges that you think that American college students, typical American readers would really benefit from knowing, from books that maybe you have accessed and read and think are important for an American readership, what would these books be and why? Just in terms of increasing knowledge and increasing engagement with Ethiopia, with Nigeria. What books are important now? I think that from the point of view of readership, almost any book is important. The reason is because it's the skill of reference and I've learned more from the bad books I've read than really the good books. Every single book, somebody was asking me the first time I arrived in America, what surprised me? I said nothing. I have read so many bad American novels, watched so many B American films. You know everything, you know, there's absolutely no surprise. You know, everybody is a stereotype. Everything has been said and done and it's not a good or great books that taught me this. It was the trash really. I read everything, you know, growing up. Most of the novels I read didn't have a cover. I just picked up a book and I read it. Sometimes I watch films without knowing the titles and sometimes I'll pay for a film and halfway through I say, oh, I've seen this film before. So it's not a greatness of it, it's just the availability of it. And I think the problem we have in many countries that our minds are closed. Read a canon, a critic tells us this is the book to read and we read it and that's it. But the canon is incomplete because the critic doesn't know it all. He has gotten excited about something he smelt on his mother's knees and it has a nostalgic charge for him. He's a decantian and that's what he is. So he doesn't know it all and every single book you read teaches you something. So I would simply say, open the doors of a library and let people in. I think one of the things that I often, I tell my students, like Chuma was saying, on one hand it's not really what kind of books you read but you're the level of engagement with it and to be able to understand that even in books where the characters are completely different from you that you are constantly asking questions and seeking, not just commonality because I think that's the part. We sometimes want books that make us comfortable but to actually seek those books that disrupt and disturb what we find comforting in our own worlds. And that, you know, one of the things that I encourage them to do is to really be honest with themselves and find out what their prejudices are and then read against those and see what emerges after that. Because I'm always interested in making parallel worlds, I find that much of African literature, Nigerian literature has its parallel in the Western world. So, I mean, Alice Monroe's stories are very often stories that I think are Nigerian stories, you know, but unfortunately when a Nigerian writes a story like Alice Monroe's, the comment that a person will say is, oh yes, that is the story about that corrupt country where there's a lot of money being stolen from oil. So, but Alice Monroe will write the same exact kind of story about a man who loves a woman or a man who cheats on a woman and nobody says, this is commentary on the entire nation and the corruption of the entire nation. But that is what we get as Nigerians who write such stories. Suddenly, we're being, you know, our stories are just symbolism, metaphors for what's like for a decaying country. And so, I like to parallel these stories. I might, for instance, pick up, you know, one of Alice Monroe's stories and pick up one of Jima Wanda Di Che's stories and, you know, talk about how these stories are actually similar. And maybe it's just the story of the failure of love and not a commentary on the country as a whole. Or I might pick up Egoni Barrett and he has his new book which is entitled Black Ass about a guy who wakes up one morning and finds that he has turned white, except his butt is still white, it's still black. So he has a black ass. But what that is is actually a Kafka metamorphosis novel, really, because that is the same thing this man wakes up, family of a mother, father, and a sister, he wakes up one morning and he has become this beast, you know, he's something else. And so it's always wonderful to realize how small our world really is and how much the literature that one is in one continent or one country, how much it actually speaks so much to the other literature. And yes, of course, oftentimes these writers have read one another's works but sometimes not and that's just the way it is, it's a small world. Steven, and then, okay. Thanks for three fantastic presentations which I'll reflect on for quite some time. I have a question, you know, there seems to me to be a part of Chinua Cheve and even things fall apart that we haven't really discussed explicitly but which is in there. When I teach that novel which I tend to do about once a year, I usually ask my students to consider the proposition that it's a novel as much about gender as it is about race. The fact of the matter is that you have a Conqueror, the main character and he has all of the characteristics of in the Western tradition, the tragic hero, you know, with the tragic flaw, et cetera, and there are other ways within his own culture that he could be understood and his failings could be understood. But one of his failings is that he has the fear, Chinua Cheve tells us explicitly the fear of being thought weak and he associates weakness with being female and he will insult other members of his clan and call them, I forget the term, you know, for being female and say, you're not a proper man, you're not a titled man, you're a woman. He is shocked to think that people can be strong and respect women at the same time. He beats his wives, for example. And there's a little story in Things Fall Apart about an older couple who die within the same period, almost at the same time. And this was, I forget their names exactly, one of them is Ozu-Amena. That's right, Oguendule. I'm trying to get the pronunciation right. And his wife, Ozu-Amena, right? Yes. Yes, thank you. And one of a Conqueror's friends comments to him, you know, that the man always consulted his wife and a Conqueror says, but I thought he was a strong man. And the friend, all the friend says, well, you know, he led Oumuafia to war in those days when he was a young man. In other words, it's not a contradiction to be strong and to respect women. And it feels to me, that's a really powerful thing that Chinua Chibi was doing in his own day, 1958, you know? And what about that tradition? We were quite deliberate in framing this symposium in inviting women writers as well as men. We wanted to hear voices which would be different from Chinua Chibi's own voice, but which would relate to other aspects of his tradition. So as we think about what he said and what he wrote and what traditions to take up, it feels to me, I'm not sure I'm exactly asking a question, but what about that aspect of his tradition? You know, what did he liberate in other ways of thinking about what it means to be a human being, what it means to be an empathetic human being, what it means to be a respectful human being who can respect human beings no matter what color, gender, sexuality, whatever they come in, and has he been inspirational in that way, or have you felt the need to go beyond what he said in your own work? I think that Chinua Chibi's work was a, it's a work in progress. He started something, he painted a culture large. I suppose if he didn't write that book, our cultures would have been in a more, maybe the intensive care unit. Right now they're in hospital. But for instance, look at the Thanksgiving tradition, which is very strong here. It is a medieval, I mean it dates back into the hundreds of years ago. It's a religious thing. People, you know, it's a harvest. It's basically related to the harvest, the pilgrim fathers made their harvest. And we don't have that kind of waiting the whole year. You might die if the harvest goes bad, which many, many settlements suffered. But then finally, it happens and the harvest is good. And then they have Thanksgiving, and it has that charge. The charge is no more here, but it is observed. I look at the power in Nigeria, we have the, all the traditions are Chinua Chibi painted about harvest. And I wonder if it has the same power right now in our communities. The answer is it doesn't. If you are modern, you don't do things like that. That is for heathen villagers. And so it's all about this cultural positioning. And whether it's, whether you see an inequality of women or a destruction of the institution of a gender, of one gender at the expense of the other, or you simply see a continuation of culture, it behooves on us as human beings to continue to interrogate our culture and to recognize justice and fairness at every point. And without throwing away the culture to be able to remediate what we see as wrong. And we always have to see with new eyes, this is a power of fiction, that you can reconstruct my reality in such a way that I can empathize with people I'm victimizing today. That I see the house girl in my house who I'm oppressing and suddenly in fiction. It's normal to me because it's in my house, I don't see it. Then I see it in fiction. And the writer puts the house girl in center stage so that immediately I am relating to that person. And then I can only look at my situation with more empathetic eyes. That I think is what Chino has started. He could not have finished the work but it now is left for another generation of writers to continue to throw those nexus between our culture, the weaknesses which you pointed out and where we are today. We cannot throw it all away and we can't remediate. For me as a woman reading Chino Achebe, it is a male dominated, male dominant work of fiction. But interestingly enough, for me, reading that novel is what people say which is that it gave us our dignity back, which is that it gave us, it allowed us to tell our own stories. It reminded us that we had the power to tell our own stories. It gave us license to tell those stories. And so for me, I actually did not think about that novel in terms of the gender necessarily because it was doing such a larger work so that for me, I just knew, okay, well if this sort of story can be told, then I can tell mine as a woman, as whatever I am, I can tell that story too and there's a place for it. And so I would say that because it was doing such a larger work, of course there are other women who though there's Buji Emecheta, Emecheta. There's Laura Mappa, you know, there are many other Nigerian women who were writing and so I read them as well. And together I just, you know, I felt safe and as if there was an audience to hear my stories as well. I'm thinking about the question, Stephen. I think the thing that struck me in what you said and the moments that you raised in the book is this idea that to disparage a man, you tell him that he's acting like a woman. And two things, the fact that Achebe wrote this decades ago and really had this sense of the inequality of the genders in his community and was able to put that down on paper, I find incredibly, it's inspiring. But I've often wondered about this idea also of manhood and how closely it is connected to what a woman is or is not. I mean, we speak of race in Achebe's that essay where he talks about Conrad is not worried just about the differences but about the kinship, you know, how one is reflective of the other. And I think gender is a similar, we see it in a similar way. A man is afraid of the kinship to womanhood. And in Ethiopia, you know, Ethiopian identity has been tied so closely to a kind of national hero to fighters, to warriors. Even this quote that I started off with was this thing from, you know, this is a lot of these sayings are connected to men. And, but the reality also in Ethiopia is that, and I'm wondering, I'm curious to know about this in Nigerian culture and traditions of remembering heroes. But in the fight against Italian colonialism, there are tons of accounts of these Ethiopian warriors who led armies and, you know, boys and men. And there are stories and songs and paintings and photographs. And in the research that I have done for my second book, it's only by chance and really accidentally that I have found one line in mounds of archival research or another line somewhere that will say, well, so-and-so's wife picked up his fallen sword and charged and led his men into the next battle. And I'm wondering if those moments exist. I'm sure they exist everywhere, but we don't have that. And I think when I think about what Achebe was working against even back then, I find that really astounding because it is still in Ethiopia, as I'm sure in every patriarchal country and every country that salutes or in some way valorizes war and warriors that if you flip it, you know, there is this other side and it's not masculine, it's feminine. And I think we haven't really talked about it yet. Thank you very much for, excuse me, for that three extraordinary presentations. I actually had a different question that I was gonna pose, but I think that Stephen in his inimitable way has provoked different response, which is to explore the question that he raised perhaps a bit more. I think that the feminist consciousness and things fall apart. And Achebe's larger body of work is underrated or not properly appreciated. Achebe portrays or conquer precisely as a character that lacks balance. And evil society is one that is founded on duality. And Achebe, in a lot of his essays, spoke about this idea that wherever one thing stands, another thing stands beside it. And that apprehension is what Okonkwa lacks, which is, so in a lot of ways Okonkwa is both a stranger amongst his people and a precursor of the colonial figure, the sort of one track-minded person who will say, as the Europeans said, that our history is the only one that is worthy of narration. So Okonkwa saw himself, saw a particular narrative of manliness and of masculinity, which is a very stunted vision. And Chino Achebe makes it clear in giving us a counterfoil of Obierica, his friend, who is but an intellectual, a man of great meditation and reflection, but also a man of strength, so who would fight when it became necessary. And Achebe, for example, encroaches the idea of female participation, even in the war department, when he shows us that the very deity that controls war is called what, Abwala, which is a kind of epithet for effeminate men, right? So the war deity in Thinsvalapa, the Oracle of the Hills and Caves is also named Abwala. And the active ingredient in that deity is what? And a very feeble, weak woman who has one leg, who hops around on one leg. The other thing that Okonkwa fails to realize is that the intercessor between that deity and the community is always female. So it is Chica, earlier, in the contemporary moment of Thinsvalapa, it is Cielo. And because the deity constantly requests to have Ezyma Okonkwa's daughter to come as the daughter to visit his groves, we get the sense that Ezyma is being prepared to become the successor to Cielo once Cielo dies. So the voice of the deity that enables the community, that gives the community permission to go to war is a priestess, always a priestess. So in Achebe's world, the depiction of this Ibo world, which is not Achebe's world as much as it is Achebe's depiction of the Ibo world, the feminine is always fused to the masculine, even in war matters. But the single most powerful deity is Allah, the earth goddess. It is not a male. And this is a deity that controls fertility, controls more. I'm sorry. Because I think my question to you then, because I find this really interesting, and what you're saying is raising some questions that I've always had, is that a lot of cultures have female deities. But how do you transfer that kind of belief, this belief in the mystical into something that's more tangible in everyday life? Because you can have these societies that might worship these deities. I mean, it's everywhere. But then when it comes to the daily interactions with women and with girls, I don't know how that translates. It translates very well in TensorFlow part actually. Neka. Okay. When a kong has to go into exile, where does he go? To his maternal home, right? To his maternal home. And when he's there, he wears a sad face and his uncle instructs him Uchendu. And he says, why do we name, why do the Igbo say Neka, right? And he says to him, because when a child is in difficulty, the child runs to his mother. So the feminine, the female space in TensorFlow part, which is a reflection of the female space in Igbo land, is a very profoundly revered space. But it is Okonkwa's consciousness that fails to recognize it. So Okonkwa has a very stilted, a very fragmented understanding of Igbo culture. And that's what makes that clear. So Okonkwa is in a lot of ways an anti Igbo man. So they just to go back quickly to the section that Professor Klingman pointed to, right? Here is Obuefi Ndule, who is close to his wife, Ozemena. So the same day he dies, the wife is told that her husband has died and she comes and calls him three times and then she goes back to her hurt. So they let her go to call her to witness the bathing of the body and she's died. So showing a kind of great psychic connection between husband and wife. So when Okonkwa hears that the man never did anything without confiding in his wife, he said, I thought he was a strong man. You see, a profound misunderstanding of what it means to be a strong man. And somebody says, indeed he is. And Okonkwa shakes his head doubtfully. Yet this man was the Okonkwa of his time. He led Ommorphia to war, just as Okonkwa is doing today. So constantly Achebe shows us that Okonkwa misapprehends. Even his father, Onoka, that he despised, right? Onoka said to him, do not despair. I know you will not despair when he suffered that tragedy with his family, with his agricultural tragedy, right? He lost all his crop. And he says, you know, I know you have a proud and manly heart, okay? Such a heart can handle general failure. It is more bitter and more difficult when a man fails alone. And when do we fail alone? When we struggle alone. So when later Okonkwa is in his bed after he's been detained by the white man, and he's saying, if Ommorphia wants to fight, that will be fine. But if they don't want to fight, I will go out there alone and avenge myself. We already have an intimation, of course, to come, which is his tragic end, okay? I do have to say we're over time at this point. I want to give the panel a quick chance to respond to what Okonkwa is saying. I know there are other questions. I see Roland. I've seen another hand over here. We might have to bring this out over snacks, coats, and bags of pretzels if I'm correct. Take the question. You don't want to respond. There's a comment. Okay, please. One question here, and then I'm going to respond. Just quickly. Yeah, I just have to ask that. I'm so inspired by this, I'm a retired businessman. I read a lot of books, and I buy them and don't read them. And I had bought Girls at War, and I was so inspired by this last night that I went home and read Girls at War, and it speaks to this subject because Reginald was one of the most disgusting creatures I've read in fiction, and Gladys was the hero of that story. And that was written, I looked and see in 1972. So is there perhaps a shift in this focus of gender? I mean, because we clearly have a female hero in that story, and it's titled Girls at War. Thank you. Thank you, Stephen, for the question. I want to say one thing. I believe Cinello did say something earlier on which maybe flew past most of us, and that is that African writers are very honest, even though they're writing fiction. Actually, in my opinion, did not come out as an advocate for, you know, I don't think it was in his mind to start defending gender or no gender territory. I think he was reporting, or not reporting, he was conveying to us what he knew, what his culture was all about. Now, indirectly, he was actually critiquing that culture. He was not condoning it. And I think that might be lost if we read that things fall apart superficially. And as, okay, actually pointed out, one of the, perhaps, one of the most powerful dates in Hebrew culture is Allah, not to talk of akoniche and many other dates, that in fact, it would be impossible, it would be impossible for the Hebrew culture to survive without the female presence. Now, I want to also say that in South Africa, among the Yoruba, I found out some interesting things that the resistance, for example, put up by the women when they are sharks who are going to be mowed down by the police, the women came, not the men. The women came, they undressed, and they succeeded in preventing, in stopping the police from going further. Not to mention, of course, the Abarayut, not to mention the Ransomkoti resistance put up against the colonial powers. There are so many references. And in my own opinion and my own research, I had to go. In fact, it's probably the only, I'm probably the only person who has found this out, and I hope someday people will find it out too, that all the, that all the adulation and so on, or all the references to male kings and so on are false in Yoruba culture. They are not. In actual fact, there was equality, and this has been proved archaeologically. So this is not going, this is not doing fiction. This is doing real science, archaeological work. So I think it would be wrong to look at Chebe's work as though he was writing at this moment to advocate for gender equality. No, but I think deep down, I always saw his heartfelt critique of his own culture at that time. Remember that the colonialists were already coming in, the missionaries were coming in, and he was trying to draw attention to something that needed to be felt and to be addressed. Okay, we have a bunch of other questions here, and I'm not really sure if we actually have, we're over by 15 minutes. So could I please just encourage everyone to gather over drinks? I'm glad that it was such a generous discussion.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz5EChXpTVw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

And obviously we're starting. It hasn't been easy though. It's been a very frantic search. Something that I've learned since getting to LA is how fast their market moves, especially for rentals and apartments, specifically. My roommate and I would look the more like look in the mornings every single day, send each other apartments. And these places would be snatched up by the time it came to the afternoons like applications would already be in. So it's definitely been a very arduous process trying to find an apartment that not only is one that we can actually have the ability to get the first application into and actually have interest from the landlords, but also an apartment that kind of meets all of the requirements that we set for ourselves, you know, two bedroom, two bath, ideally close to the beach, which I think you'll be pretty happy with what we ended up getting. And I'm very excited to move in today. So the plan for the day, step one, I actually have to move in. Two, I'd like to get everything out of the current place that I'm staying. I've been crashing with a friend during my apartment search. And three, I'd really like to document the process. And it's going to be an exciting day. Should be hearing from my roommate soon, he's driving out from his home. We're going to meet and start moving everything in. I'm excited, but also kind of, I don't know, I'm nervous. I'm nervous to see how it all turns out. Nervous to see what the place looks like. And because I've never actually visited it, I've only seen pictures and videos, because my roommate did all the touring. So we'll see. And you guys will see along with me. So with that, I need to pack up some stuff, load up my car and let's go. Okay, we are all packed up. Everything that I've been using to live out of for the past two and a half weeks is finally moving was an absolute fiasco. There were tow trucks involved, lots of sweat. It took hours. I probably couldn't have even filmed if I tried. But the good thing is, is we are mostly moved in at this point. Still have a lot of stuff to buy to furnish this beautiful apartment. But as you can see, I'm sitting in my new common room right now. And it is just absolutely empty way to couch. We have a coffee table and luckily we have Wi-Fi set up. But other than that, it is completely empty. So we're gonna have to do, put some serious work into furnishing this place soon. I'll have to do a full apartment tour soon. But we got the main room with a kitchen right there. You got our couch. And then I have a full bedroom to myself. Excuse the mess, but it is somewhat set up for the moment. Bed, bookshelf, desk. Prop this thing back in the tripod. So the move was a, the move was a mess. But obviously it was successful in the end. I am excited because I'm about to go cook my very first meal in the new apartment. It's almost lunchtime. So I'm going to whip up some eggs and bacon. And then I want to talk a little bit about what moving is actually like in the military. Specifically moving in the military. So for those of you that didn't know, I received my commission into the military from Air Force ROTC at Yale. So I did that program for four years commissioned and now I'm a second lieutenant of the military. Obviously anything that I say here does not reflect the official views of the military. This is just my own personal opinion and my own personal experiences. So with me receiving my commission, I'm obviously required to head off to my first assignment which happened to be LA. So that's where I'm currently stationed. So since my first assignment was out here in LA, the military was required to help fund my PCS, my permanent change of station from Virginia all the way out here to LA, which, you know, they help pay for the travel, but they also help pay to move my stuff. So there are two options. I could either, you know, move my own stuff and get paid per pound to, you know, rent a U-Haul and drive across the country. But I personally did not have enough stuff for that to even be remotely worth it. I only had a couple hundred pounds of stuff that I wanted moved because I tried or I decided to buy everything out here. So they showed up to my house, picked up all my stuff, gave me an inventory sheet, moved out to LA, gave them a call and they helped move me in yesterday. All the stuff, you know, was just sitting in storage for a couple weeks while I was moving out here. So it was a pretty easy process to be completely honest. So that may have been super boring to me explaining that, but I know when I did my college vlogs, you guys always liked when I gave a little bit of, you know, perspective into my time at ROTC and kind of the military. So you guys want me to add some more, you know, notes on my experience in the military and how that kind of affects, it's not going to be the main focus of this channel going forward by any means, but that is the reason I'm out here in LA and I'm super excited to be here and start my career. So with that, I'm going to finish up breakfast and then I want to show you my favorite part about this apartment. A lot of cool things about this apartment. Hopefully some of them I will share in future videos, but there's one key factor that we really took into account when choosing a spot and it's that we wanted to see the water. Yeah, so we are very lucky to not only have found an apartment that we like, but also one that's had such a great location. So I guess I'm a Californian now. So if you guys live in LA, hit me up. I need friends, fellow YouTubers in LA. Let's collab, let's do something. I'm excited to meet some people, explore this new city. With that, I hope you enjoyed coming along with me as I moved across the country to a good place that I now call home. See you guys next time.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz8_yDAd0sM", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCrM4z9DzdvD3bnA5E7tDtKQ	Randolph Technical Career Center School Board - September 9, 2019		null	2019-09-12T12:40:39	2024-02-05T06:10:02	2,681	vZYLAqP-GwY	We have no petitions, so we'll move right into board management. So if you look on the second page, as on the bottom, we want to schedule data for the entire school. Jason, is there anything you want to share about this, either projections or what we're seeing here? What I did was I took some highlights from the packet that I did, I think over the summer, and just thought I'd go through some quick notes of these. And I'll back up. We as a staff went through the data, took us, because we only had like half an interest rate, so it took us a few staff meetings, but we went through this as well. So as far as communication and our professional development plan for this calendar year, I hope you all still get my school messenger emails on the weekends. So we're proud of that. That's working. And then our PD focus for the year, on September 3rd, and I'll get to this in another slide, we had a PD focus on career tree development with an author and speaker named Mark Perna. So you should really check him out. He's really exciting to listen to, and the staff had great feedback. On November 18th, we're going to be training in youth mental health first aid through the Clare Martin Center. That continues our kind of year-long piece on understanding students with trauma. And Birkin's five is new this year, as it's a live first, so there's lots of training that we're going to have to go through as a staff as well to understand what the requirements are. So that's kind of our PD piece for the year. So Mark Perna came September 3rd. His book, Entering Live, he's the founder of TFS Consulting. So he's going to work with us on developing these career trees for all of our programs. And they're based in, if you can picture a tree and I'll show you a picture in a second, a root system that's based on academics, experiences, and technical skills. And then from that, the body of the tree becomes like the foundation of their program knowledge. And then the branches break out into three different levels, here, here, and here. So we'll fill in all this information. And this would be a foundational program, but each level is where the student can go, sorry, after they complete like our program. So this might be the job opportunities available, and the salaries they might make after this first one. Hey there, Linda. Cool, you know this, and I have, I really have. I read his book over the summer, we're following each other on Twitter. I have extra copies in my office if anyone wants one. They're not all signed. I'm sorry. But. And from this work, so this becomes, we're just getting access to his online learning management system. And then teachers and us will enter in this data, which we already have just in different formats. It's gonna give us a really concise and clear message to recruit from. Because then we're gonna get these trees, a picture like a little different, but a little fancier of this tree, which is like a six by five giant tree that we're gonna get to post in the school and all the programs, as well as some of the other PDFs that we can then send to these sending schools and go talk to students about. Plus it's a big draw for parents because we're learning how to change our language. And he talks a lot about understanding students and where they are and the difference between the Y and Z generations. And that they're looking for not necessarily, I want this career, but I want this lifestyle. And so if we change our vocabulary a little bit, we can tell them how they might be able to get to this lifestyle. That was terribly much better. So he also talked about bridging this awareness gap. And this is not only for students, but for parents too. So we're really talking about how they get to these high demand, high wage jobs. And in 2017, the Department of Labor brought out a study about the economic kind of opportunities. You've seen that report in Randolph. And so we looked at that as a school on our first assembly as well. So I think it's a great message. We're really excited. I'm really excited. And so this will be a large portion of our professional development this year. And then he has a definition of what a planning culture is. And I thought, this is what we do. This is what we do every day. And we keep readjusting. We really want students to leave with a plan when they graduate high school. And he talks about, college and career should really just be, is every student college focused because in order to get a job, you still have to go to college or some kind of training. It shouldn't just one or the other. So I find it fascinating. If anyone wants to vote, let me know. I'll get you on. Question so far. I know that's really not part of the data, but I have to admit. It's okay. We went over our mission statement, which again, and they did this before I got here about five years ago, but this directly relates back to what a planning culture is. So I feel like if we're meeting our logic to new data, we're also then meeting our mission statement as a school. So this is something that we can always go back to as a true test to see if we're working towards our goals. And so how do we know we're meeting the mission statement? These are our main priorities. I are seeing entertainment because we know if a student leaves with a certificate, they're more likely to be hired and they're more likely to make a higher wage. CTSO is the Career Technical Student Organization participation that leads to networking and scholarships, work-based learning participation. Student experience leads to more experience than someone else who gets them a higher wage and a competitive edge. We're always assessed on academic progress, which we'll get to in one second. Math and literacy are still continued this year. Science will probably be next year and my guess is that Agency of Education will use the 11th grade SBAC science assessment as part of our assessment as well, even though we don't necessarily work with those students in grades nine and 10. And then post-secondary placement, either in college training or enlistment. And so as we continue to use those measurements in our data, that's also how we know we're meeting the mission statement. Good so far. So WorkKeys, we talked about this in the spring last year. This is one of the ways that we're measured in math and literacy. And so as a reminder, last year we were the only technical center to pilot WorkKeys in the state, which was good for us. We got big kudos with the Agency of Education for that. We're gonna do it again this year. We're gonna test all new students in October and then all students again in May 2020. And so that'll cost us around $4,000 and we use Perkins money for that. But that will give us a true level of data. For new students, it'll be October to May and see if there's growth. And then for returning students, it'll be from last year to May to May to see if there's growth. Scores range from one to seven or 65 to 90. And a five enables a student to test out of a CCV graduation requirement. They require students to take WorkKeys as an assessment as a graduate. So if a student gets a five with us and they go to CCV, they wouldn't have to take it. Which is, you know, there's some motivation for a student there. So it's a test that they don't have to pay for out of their own pocket, right, CCV? That's a good question. I don't know. That's a good question. Is there a fee? I mean, do they still have to not take it but are they still gonna assess the fee for it? I do not know. We wish Kate was here. We'll have to ask her. Okay. That's a good, I'll find that out. Okay, sorry. That's okay. That's a great question. So as a center, right, we scored 4.25 a math which came out to roughly as I added everything up. So there might be, you know, a couple points human error here. 77.5, 4.18 in the literacy documents and 78.5. Now what's interesting about this is the agency of education has not come back to us and say what's proficiency, right? My guess is they're gonna say five, right? It seems pretty logical if that's what CCV wants. So we're not too far off, which is good because it gives us some goals and something to work towards this year. Did the kids see this as being a meaningful test? Did they work hard to do what about this? You know, it was great. Carlos is a good example. He, and we talked about this for a few months before we did this in May. And one of the things we told the students was, you know, we want you to do well in this because our funds are tied to this. So if you and Carlos had this conversation, I remember going into his classroom last year, he brought me in and we were talking about it as a class. And if they want, you know, the bells and whistles and all this equipment, it's directly related because if we get our fives, we have more money to spend on the other stuff and we don't have to spend as much on the math and literacy. I think once we had this conversation, they seemed to accept it rather than, I would say, the SBAC, which they don't always accept. Right. Right? Did you think they were a little more willing? Absolutely. They were engaged and they did the best they could. They stayed for the whole hour and a half and they took it and they gave it to us. Right? And the last thing is, I also talked about inheriting traditions. So what you're doing now, we need to hear from the people that are coming up after you and I was going to say, we need to get very serious. And what's interesting on, so this is scores across programs, right? And I think it's interesting. What's interesting is our bias. So if I thought, man, I never would have thought that the auto group would have scored on an average of a 90. Like it just never really, knowing who they are, but they bought in and they stuck with that test to do that. And the same thing with the advanced manufacturing. Knowing who they are last year as students and all of a sudden they did really well. And what we talked also about is in the literacy documents, the reading got just longer by page. And so we know some students, you could tell on their individual scores just started kind of like, I got to read more of this and just started to tune out. And you can see how much time they spent versus others were like, I'm just going to do this and did pretty well. So it was just fascinating as kind of this pilot to go through and see where students landed. Questions. And I don't think it's that, it wasn't, it didn't take all day. What's ERM? ERM was our forestry program, Environmental Resource Management. And that's the program we folded this year into the Diversified Act. The value of the discussions. Yeah. It's got any, you know, because that's a little purpose behind it. And what's also nice is every student got a report on how they did. And it really explains to the student where they topped out or where, you know, if you understood this, this is what, so it's like this personalized report that we handed out. It's really helpful. It's sort of basic skills in math and reading. You know what's nice is, it's like, it's one to five or one to seven. So one is pretty basic, seven gets a little more complicated. I don't think it tops out at pre-calc, probably algebra two, but the students applied what they have learned and they take this more as they connect with its assessment. So a basic one might be and gave Paul $20 change for a $1.50 cup of coffee, how much is change, you know, how much change or something. And so it progressively gets harder. There aren't that many questions. I want to say 35 questions possibly in the math. And so, but at least the student feels like, oh, I understand that versus some, maybe a little more random kind of math or literacy concept, right? Right, but yet there's algebra in there, but it's in a word. Right. Powered, right? Exactly. So it's interesting. So is this state sort of, or who's asking you to do this? The agency of education. Vermont's agency. Vermont's agency of education, that if we want to use Perkins funds, the state has to show federal agencies how we're assessed in math and literacy. And since the 11th grade math and literacy went to ninth grade, this is kind of their answer right now. Some of the employers were pushing this too. Well, so there's the math and then there's the literacy assessments and there's one more. And it's about graphing. And if you could read graphs. And if you get a certain score on all three, you get like a certificate that you could show to businesses that you're, I'm employable. However, I don't know how many businesses in Vermont would take that and really say, yes, you are. Most of them would be like, I don't know what this is. Probably a hundred of them. Yeah, because I remember hearing about this probably two or three years ago. Right. And it was, CCB was doing a force or offering. Remember they did that college readiness class? Yeah, but it wasn't in the college readiness. It was in, it was workforce development. But I like this. So how come you're not using the graph anymore? Because I'm reluctant to do just for that reason. I'm reluctant to invest in a lot of that other, that third wheel, which I feel like is pushing our luck a little bit. For a certificate that won't mean anything to anyone except paying more to ACT. But if that takes off and everybody around the state starts using it. I'd like to see that first. Absolutely. Because that was the same, to me some of the same issue with the career readiness class was that then you got the certificate from the governor that said you're work ready, but none of the industry's bought into it. So I just feel like, I wanna see it happen first. Okay, so Perkins Evaluation going back to our data and our mission statement. So now we're held to Perkins Five. The AOE is still developing the statewide plan, which then they have to go to open meeting and public comments. So we don't have all the information yet, but my best guess is these are the main items. We know math and literacy, science in 2021. IRC attainment will be one of them. We turned over 400 last year, so we did a great job. Dual enrollment, we were a little bit down. I think we wanted to be at 25% and we were at 23%. And my reasoning for that is the health care program didn't do dual enrollment last year. So that would have been our 2%. Work-based learning, we had over 103 guest speakers, 56 students participating in workplace learning, 18 job jobs, 271 total placement. So I feel good about everything else. And just, it's always good to grow too, right? So we're not stopping, these are our focal points. And then this is how we spend Perkins. So this year we have $137,000. Roughly 9,000 goes to the consortium so that we help pay for the teacher prep program, as well as the statewide CTSO. This is the money we spend for our math teacher, which goes towards the math portion of Perkins. We love Tana B. She was our UDM teacher of the year. She was an awesome teacher. She's teaching the EMC squared math that PSAC promoted and has, I think, 10, 11 students and it's going great so far. But else, language arts support in our academic center. We have $22,000 for equipment this year. The $23,000 helps us pay for the Mark Perna who came and that was $16,000. And then we do a challenge day with Vermont works for women and that's $7,500. And this year though, we're targeting middle school girls rather than ninth and 10th grade. Okay, to try and also meet the AOEs request to push outreach further in the middle school. So that's where we're going to start. And then industry, IRCs, we have $25,000. All right, and then this is kind of out of the data range, going back to the agenda but enrollment and this is our current enrollment as of last Thursday. One lamoille is not really unusual for us, that's pretty far, so that's VH for us. Northfield's a little low and really it's low from last year. Randolph, we had a large senior class department in Randolph and we had five U32 students slated and three did not come at all. They're not even at 10 on the first day. This is where we are, about 131. Five total students didn't show on the first day and one who was here last year went back to Ames Town last week. And then one student told me he's moving to Florida in two weeks, can't stop talking. Yeah, quite a bit. I thought we were way up like 140 something. Well, but also remember we have zero in the business program and the forest program moved to ag. Right. So for last year we had 13 programs and this year we have 11. Even if there were eight, that would get us in each closer to 140. Yeah. And then working on the pre-tech for this year. Right. And we can use the pre-tech numbers in our count which will help a little bit. But that's going for state reporting. I think that is it. Yeah, so that's my longitudinal data report. All right, so the new program is the advanced manufacturing, right? We're in our second year. Right, second year. So how is it going, how does it look projecting for this school year and for next? Great, I think we have 11 or 12? All right. Yeah, it says 11. 11, right? Yep. Which is really good as a second year program considering where we are. We have returning, two returning students into that program from last year. From last year. The rest are all new. The rest are all new. It is, yeah. All right. We're excited about that. And that money, remember we had grant money to start the program. And then we had another second grant for $59,000 last year to continue to build it for this year. They get the plasma cutter running, yeah? Almost. It's like it's a neat twist. With some of these programs, I see that it's trending down. My, the one. Concerns? Yeah, I'm concerned about our graphic arts program. We have four students in it right now, usually pretty full. And that's also from three of the U32 students were in that program. So that took just a big hit. And then one student transferred already from there to another program. So that's my biggest worry right now. Is there any way, I know it's the beginning of school and everything's already started, but is there any way when things are down like that to go back to your sending school and say, did anyone? Yeah, we actually had a visitor today from Williamstown who visited digital film and graphic arts. So, and my hope also is the career trees will really give us a different kind of message. Yeah. So we like to see that Rutland, Stafford Technical Center in Rutland, they also participate in this. And they said they're at maximum capacity now that they've started to use this program. It's good. Yeah. So seeing as you're down to 11 programs, is that something that you're looking to add a different, another program in the years to come or is that still sort of under? Well, I think the tricky thing is timing, right? So in the forestry program room where we had the forestry program, we put pre-tech in there right now. And I don't wanna, I feel like if I move them again, I can, but I'd also like to have some continuity in space there. And that room works well for them because of the size, it's one of our smallest rooms. At the same time, I would like to at least get up to one more program next year. And the question is really where do we put that? If we're not running business next year based upon that we had no students this year and I don't know if we can really rally around that again with no students, that gives us a space. But that also then means there's only certain programs that can go in that space because of where it is and how it's connected to the rest of the building. It's more of a classroom space than I would say a shop space. I think our, the state's focus and the governor's focus on cybersecurity, which we put into our criminal justice program, healthcare, transportation, you know, we already have some of those. I think we could support a second health careers program and do something completely different. But I also worry a little bit about, is there a continuous flow for that? Could I get 16 every time? Could I get 32 every single time? We might. So those are some of the questions I think we really need to ask students. Not only what would you sign up for, but what are we missing? I think electrical's been talked about. And I'd rather do electrical than HVAC. I feel like there's a little more sell on electrical than HVAC. But again, you would need a certain kind of classroom for electrical. It wouldn't fit where business is right now from just a facility standpoint. And I don't see anyone moving. But maybe a cybersecurity might. Well, I think that's already in our criminal justice program. We, for the past two years, Mr. Lacey's already taught some of that. We've done the Girls' Coast Cyber. The other grant we got last May has specifically to help implement that. And so we're working with VTVLC right now to do an introduction to cybersecurity course with them. We bought another software and curriculum called N-Case, which is a cybersecurity program. And we got extra computers through this grant as well. So I feel like that one's already in there. To do a standalone wouldn't be that efficient. Mm-hmm, okay. It makes sense. Will you be looking at what employers are saying they need? Right, and so. Education, that's not quite a college in the associate's degree. Right, and so the governor's talking construction trades, which we have. Right. But I do think electrical might be, it's different. It is. Cybersecurity, healthcare, transportation act. That's what the governor's focusing on. What do they say transportation is? It's the big, I think it's the big umbrella. Yeah. Nothing in computers, is it computers? They do, they want advanced manufacturing and they call computers cybersecurity. My biggest fear with that though, as a K through 12 district, we don't do a lot of computer technology, K through 10. And so for me to implement something after that, there needs to be some education before that for students to get excited about. Otherwise, I don't think it would work. Yeah, and it, it's, it petered out. Right. It seems like a new model. And we can touch on, much like, I feel like we can touch on computers across the board. You know, so a student might take advanced manufacturing and get a lot of computer work, and maybe they do criminal justice and still get a lot of computer work. You know, it touches across many different fields. It's not just a Cisco program kind of thing. Right, right. And I think with the apps and programs being so much more user friendly, all the, you know, people are learning just what they're doing and not necessarily how to get to it. That's true. And what's hard about computers is, you know, because we work on a slow pace education in some respect, that's lower timeline. For us to invest in something today and try to have three years of that technology, two years, it's already obsolete. And to try and keep up with that pace is really difficult. And expensive. Yes, right. And so how do we, whatever we want to bring in should be somewhat economically viable for us as well. We do know, you know, that I was, you know, a few weeks ago I was listening to the radio right before school started. And like on the point, Central Vermont Medical Center, if you have an LNA, $5,000 signing books. That's pretty good. And a lot of the hospitals in the area now are starting their own training programs to help people move up. Which is fantastic, right? That's a debt saver, if you really think about it. So if we can get students to a particular point in either medical assisting, CCVs starting some wonderful certificates that we might be able to do, a student might be able to do two years with us in healthcare, in health careers, two different fields. And then that would give them enough college credits to do one more year at CCV or Norwich or so. That's good. Right, recruitment. A list of all the IRCs, the same work keys data is there. Does anybody have any questions about the other information that's in there? I assume that was your complete record report? Or, or, I could go into that. I did not include anything, I don't think from the director's report. Do you want to? Sure. So Melissa Kills, our new healthcare teacher, she's jumped right in doing a fantastic job. I think we are past all of last year and she's just hitting it right on the head of a nail, however we want to say it. And she got that old people last year too, which was good. So because she's come from Gifford, she just has a tremendous amount of context as well. So she's going to have some students do some job shadows on the med surge unit, radiology and some just fantastic things. And just so you also know, last year when we left, 10 out of the 12 had passed their LNA, but then over the summer we got the other two to pass. So we got 12 out of 12. They just needed one more test, like one more skills try. They were just nervous. So is health care just a one year program now? Well, it's, in a way it always has been. They get their LNA, that's the primary focus. We have two students who've returned. One is taking anatomy and physiology online and the other is starting to co-op. And we're going to still work with them to explore what direction they want to go. Okay, but it's primarily designed as a one year. That's why a second program would complement that. Right, and we wouldn't have to necessarily say you have to do this one first or that one. You can really separate it out and say you did this one. If you're still interested, you can do that one. Rather than making one higher level than the other. Craig Fuller started our pre-tech program. So he's in the old forestry room. He's working with seven RU students right now. He's doing, I think it's period one. Forgive me, I'm not fully sold on what their schedule is. And then he has period two as well. Okay, so five students in one period. I think that's Monday, Wednesday, Friday. And then two students, Tuesday, Thursday. There's another day in there, right? And then he does that with us half of the morning and then he gets his contractual lunch. And then he goes to Williamstown and he has two blocks with them from one to three. And so he has students, a group of students Monday and Thursday the same group and then a different group Tuesday, Wednesday. And what we've realized from this is that group at Williamstown, they're looking more for just an elective and extended learning opportunity. So we've scaled back a little bit and here students are looking for a course, a class. And so this will run for, both will run for a semester and then we'll change over for second semester. The goal is we're doing hands-on math and science STEM activities, hands-on. And then with that, students are connecting what proficiency did I get out of this? What careers are available? Here's my list. And then if I'm interested in that career, let me help develop a plan. So what math might I need if I'm interested in becoming a civil engineer and how do I do that? Since they're mostly eighth, ninth, or 10th graders, they can start to actually track that out and see what they need to do. So again, it kind of goes back to that Marferna thing. What lifestyle do I want and how do I get there? And so we've created like this workbook journal for them where they also are clicking on, if I'm interested in this career, what's that salary and range in education look like and how do I obtain it? And then we asked them to kind of pull it all together. We're only in our second week. We started September 4th. So we're building it slow, but I feel like it's the right direction to go. We're hoping that Northfield will want to sign on also for second semester. Usually it's open to eighth, ninth, and tenth grade, which is kind of your mixing of the... Right now, we don't have any eighth from RU. We only have ninth and tenth, but they're mixed because it's easier for their schedules, right? So it's pretty exciting. So far, good reports. Students look jazzed when they're leaving and they're excited to come down. We had new student orientation night on the day before, two days before school started. That seems to be a continued success of just getting parents in the building as well. Most of the students by that time had been in a building at least three or four times on tours or different events, but it's really aimed at the parents as well. So they can see the school and meet the teacher, get the syllabus, have an understanding, and see, oh, this is where my child is gonna spend five hours a day. So we like it. We continue to do program support team. We had one today. That's our math, English, program teacher, myself, guidance, work-based learning, and student services. All meeting together to discuss students on academics, relationships, attendance, and see where they are in technical skills. See, we, so far, pretty good at cell phone free, only during lunchtime. Seems pretty good. So far, it's working. In my class. In your class. There's some evidence. Are you doing that while you're at school? Most of the programs are. I'd say, I have it in my bag over there. I'd say like maybe eight out of 11. The ones that aren't have the system that's working for them, and that's already in place. So, well, I rock that boat. Do you see them suddenly pulling them out and spending a lot of time? You know, it's interesting. Our lunchtime changed this year. So we're 1130 to 1155, and everyone thinks it's too long, which is fascinating to me. I know, and it's only like by three minutes. Like three minutes more than over. There are some students that are still fully engaged. Like, that's what they're doing. But for the most part, I'd say it's a balance. I'd say it's a balance. Some of them are just looking at stuff together, and some videos are laughing, but they're still social. I think it'd be really hard to police not having a bad lunch. I think that'd be difficult. But it seems to be working, and it works better because we started on day one versus the middle of the year. Because middle school doesn't have that much time. I know. I know that. They haven't got one complaint yet. No? That's because my son has high school lunch three days a week, so he can eat lunch. He has Spanish classes this year, so that screws his lunch ups. He's eating lunch at high school, so he can eat as well. Yeah, so we're back to middle schoolers' complaint, but maybe not the parents. Yeah, I haven't heard of Pete. I haven't heard any students really complain, which I think is, I don't know, it's interesting. I think they knew it was coming. We put in the summer letters. It's a great move. From a parent's point of view. I think from an employee's point of view. I stand in the hall sometimes checking my emails, and I feel guilty, which I think is good. As adults, we can also be aware of what we're modeling. And when it's stated, do you sort of talk about just the addictive nature of these devices that we have? Not yet. South Burlington had these amazing posters that they put up, and just saw it on Twitter, but of when you're using your phone, are you aware of you're either disrupting a class or not listening intently to someone? And there was one more message, and I thought it was a nice way to phrase it to the student, rather than just this kind of put your phone away kind of thing. Right, right, right. Which always moves. Yeah. So does. So does. Because I think right now it's just accepted, I think we're okay. And what the hard part is, we also want them to use their phones properly for their digital portfolio or for these other things. And so how do we balance that? Especially on field trips, where as a staff we had this long discussion like, well, you go on a field trip, what do we do? Do we want them to listen to it on the bus? Cause all these other pieces that are connected. It's interesting. And it can be a great tool. It can be. But what we found last year, though, was the students who not necessarily were addicted the most, but who had the most reaction to their phone, were getting messages that disturbed their day and they couldn't reset. And we're seeing less of that right now, already in seven days. Well, I think it's important because it opens a discussion about it. So often we just take it for granted. Oh, we can't take the phone away from the kid, right? But here, it's engendering a discussion that's worthwhile about the value and the problems that these devices cause. So I think that in and of itself is important. And also the value and tech to get kids to actually think about in a career sense of being tethered to their phone for their job. What does that mean if you're stuck on your phone for work, for an extended period of time? How does that affect the rest of your life? It's fascinating. I thought parents would be more upset when they haven't received any, right? That's encouraging. I found, so my own kids go to Montpelier and they started the yonder where the case. And so a few weeks ago when the capital shut down, the school shut down, I was like, oh, I should text my kid and I was like, wait a second. You know, I take my own little step back. And then I also realized, hopefully their phones go away. So it was a good check. What else? We did purchase a new truck last year. Not sure if you knew that with surplus funds. Yeah, the one you showed me, the old one was just sad. Yeah, that's a good one. I think that's a good one. Lane, did you have anything you want to share for this time? Probably more on the facility side of things. So there's the green space that's out there now that the Raven Building has been removed, which is technically RTCC space. It might be worth starting a discussion about what the possible uses could be. And that kind of connects into the other thing that was in the superintendent's report is we've got two buildings. We've got the shed here, the RES shed, that they use for storage. And you've got yours. It's adjacent to the new green space there. The problem was is that they didn't use the right fasteners on the metal roofs up there. Actually, I was actually surprised that they were actually driving the nails that they used through the metal roofs. Not usually how you do it. But the freezing and thawing cycles have been causing the nails to lift out. So it's either we replace the roofs or decide to do something else with the building. And so that's a discussion for this year. Maybe talking with folks. This one obviously we're going to preserve. That one, do we want to renovate it? Do we want to get rid of it? Is it still useful? Part of it is it'll be costly to replace the roof, which is fine. But it's a dirt ground on the inside. So you're thinking about a storage space here, a dirt ground. And then it's barn board. There's gaps between the boards. It was built that way on purpose. So how good it is at actually keeping things preserved by now. So just kind of things to throw out there. And remember where that climbing structure was a few years ago? So that's been gone, I think at least three years. But we're starting work on a pavilion now. So we're going to try and use the same cement post, there's cement posts there that were gone. And use those posts and build a nice size for them. Not too big, but not only school can use but community one that's there. And hopefully Monday, maybe next year we'll put a pizza outside pizza. That's a good thing. Well, it'll be the opposite end. So you know where the high tunnel is. It's closer to the high tunnel than on the river side. On the driveway side, that's easier than on the river side. So we'll be up a little bit from that lower field or you'll be down in that lower field? No, we're still further up towards the parking lot. And that doesn't tend to flood right now either. Right, I'm trying to remember when I came through. I know the lower field got a lot of water. And then with the high tunnel, we'll start our CSA again. And we have a permit for that high, for the pavilion as well. So we'll put a cement floor. So they weren't considering it? They didn't seem like it. I was distracted during that rain, but other roads. I wonder. Those are the kind of high light shams. Any highlights for financials you want to discuss? It's early. You know what I mean, it's not directly related. But we got an extra $122,000 for the pre-tech, $61,000 for cybersecurity and the advanced manufacturing, and an extra $20,000 equipment. Is this grant money? It's all grant money. I was able to get from last, some of it started last year and this year. And that's on top of the $131,137 for Perkins. And not too much stuff that you have to track. I feel really bad for Robin, because she has to track it and they keep changing that. But I try and give her really comprehensive information since she's so wonderful to work with, and she's always on top of it. It works. She's excellent, right? So it's not constraining you? No, I love doing that because I want the extra money. And it really allows us to do things that we might not be able to do. And he said that in terms of the overall budget, we had talked a little bit last year about the tuition, how the tuition compensates when the numbers are down in terms of the enrollment. So the money that we get from the state to kind of help out, it comes from a rolling six-month, six-semester average. And we were looking at it today with Robin. Out of the six semesters that are currently going into the average, four of them were low. So we're just hitting the new higher level from last year, the 147 that we had. But the middle four were anywhere between 130 and 112. So we should. 147 last year, so we're down, or is it bad? Still higher than looking back over. I think what that adds to is a larger discussion of, I don't know if we can support 13 programs anymore. There's one piece of saying, well, sure, we want 13 programs. But if they all have six or eight in them, that might not be feasible. Financially viable, yeah. And the pre-tech may have an impact, too, as the students are getting in and getting to feel earlier on in terms of what their choices are as they're going up through the grades. As we get closer to recruitment time, there'll be some major decisions about next year and the staffing. And the business piece is interesting because that was going out everywhere. I think we're one of the last ones that still. CCBU still has a business. Essex has a part time. But those are also not in the tech centers. Those are in the high schools. But the majority of the business programs in the tech center aren't lasting. Which is a shame because 12 credits of dual enrollment and the fantastic work they do in the competitions. They were doing some great things. Robin said everything looks good in terms of the budget for you guys. Just got no concerns. The only thing on the consent agenda is the minutes, which between Jason and Rainer, the only three that were here. I didn't see anything. I'm sure how that works. We still vote on that with who we have. I'm not really a voting. I know you're not, and here are you. So my understanding of minutes is you're approving to enclose them and officially accept them and not necessarily voting on what's in them. The content. Right, the content. And so therefore, I'm guessing we can. You are the overseeing board. Yeah. Right. With that authority. So I would entertain a motion to accept the minutes as written in a second. All right. Those in favor of accepting the minutes as written in the closed document, say aye. Aye. Those opposed? The ayes have it. And is there any correspondence or other items that you want to discuss that was not already discussed, Lane or Jason? No? OK. And do we need an executive session? OK. We ever have. You just cursed us. Years ago, before we were. Yeah, all right. And so then I'll adjourn the meeting on the court. Thank you, everybody. Thanks. Have a nice evening. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZYLAqP-GwY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I'm naturally right-footed and when I started playing I had a pretty weak left foot but over time I realized the importance of having two strong feet and I made a commitment to improve my basic skills in both feet. Now I've grown to the point where sometimes you can't even tell which foot I am. I'll be playing in a game and the opposition will say he's only left-footed keep him on his right then I'll cut it on my right foot and rip a shot into the top corner. Having two strong feet will increase your ability to make a difference on the field. You will be harder to defend, have the ability to score more goals, create more chances and lose the ball far less often because you will be able to rely on your so-called weaker foot. I'll show you a few tricks to speed up the development process of your weaker foot but at the end of the day it comes down to repetitions. Your stronger foot has had hundreds of thousands of more repetitions, more touches, more passes, more shots, more everything. When you decide to make the same amount of repetitions in each foot you will have two strong feet. You can actually see noticeable improvements, you can improve your confidence and your ability in your weaker foot in only one day. The first thing you're going to do is throughout the whole day you're going to keep a ball with you at your feet around your house. So while you're doing your daily activities keep that ball at your feet. Everywhere you go whether you're in the living room, sitting down watching some TV, you're going to the kitchen getting something to eat, you're even going to the bathroom. I want you to have that ball on your foot using only your weaker foot. So throughout the day you're going to get hundreds of thousands of more touches simply by keeping a ball with you while you're at home. Now don't break anything, keep it nice and casual but as you move throughout the day keep that ball on your weaker foot. Now it's time to get into your weak foot training session and to get started I want you to run to a wall and while you're running there I want you to dribble with the ball using only your weaker foot. So as you're dribbling to this wall yes I want you to be very careful, dribble with your head up, watch out for cars, be safe. But while you're dribbling focus on using only that weaker foot practicing different skills and tricks along the way. Once you get to the wall it's time to complete your weak foot training session. First you're going to complete 500 collective juggles on your weaker foot. Collective means if you drop the ball you're going to pick it up and start again continuing at the number that you left off at. So if you juggled for 20 you drop the ball then you start again at 21. You're going to get 500 consecutive juggles. When you're juggling focus on making strong foot contact, getting nice backspin on the ball. You can vary your touches with big ones and small ones. The most important thing here is that you are getting in those repetitions. Now if you want to make it a little easier or you need to break it down just so you can get those touches and get those successful repetitions on your weaker foot you can start with a kick and catch. So just kick the ball once on your weaker foot catch it and then you can go to two touches and three touches. Next you're going to complete 500 collective passes on your weaker foot. So here you're focusing on passing but also receiving and focus on the quality of your first touch as well as the quality of your pass. When you're passing you are trying to get your body over the ball opening up your foot if you're using the inside of your foot or making a really strong flex foot if you're using the outside of your foot. Just focus on that strong contact. Your first touch you want to get it out of your feet so you can step into the pass. Most important here is the repetitions but focus on your quality. Be light on your feet always ready to move focus on getting that first touch out of your feet and stepping into your pass. Once you do a little bit of two touch move into one touch passing these still count as those 500 collective passes. Finally you're going to do 500 collective shots now when you're shooting what you're really focusing on here is making good contact good foot contact good nice shooting technique nice follow through towards your target body over the ball but really focus on a strong foot contact here. You are not focusing on power if you're going to hit the ball as hard as you can and do 500 shots on your weaker foot your weak leg is going to be destroyed tomorrow because it's simply not used to this amount of repetitions. So while you're shooting focus on good foot technique good shooting technique and not power. You can also complete this workout at home if you don't have the ability to go outside or enough time. All these exercises can be completed in the comfort of your own home you can use your couch as an alternative to a wall. You can help yourself by comparing your weaker foot to your stronger foot. How do you strike the ball differently on your right foot compared to your left? What do you differently with your toes your ankle your follow-through your contact? Analyze compare and make the necessary adjustments to improve faster. You may know what to do with your weaker foot but you're not able to do it because you don't have the strength mobility or muscle memory to complete the technique. What you want to do is really focus on a strong over emphasis of your foot technique. So here you can see that the foot is weak the ankle is not locked the toes aren't flexed the foot isn't strong. When you make it strong you really overemphasize that technique you will feel that your weaker foot will improve instantly.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzPCZhY0uk8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UC2ueK4fUjMi2vCeIkl1_pUw	Composition: Rule of Thirds		[ "Rule", "of", "Thirds" ]	2012-07-12T17:07:11	2024-02-05T07:24:29	644	Vzx1kZUb5SM	So did you know that there is one rule of composition that can really make a huge difference in the photographs that you take? It's called the rule of thirds, and we're going to talk about it in this lesson for the next few minutes. So I would listen up and check it out because it's one of the most important things you might learn in this course. The rule of thirds basically just asks you to divide your images up into three pieces on both the horizontal and the vertical axes. So here you can see me doing this to my favorite photo as of the last few months. This is my grandmother in her kitchen. And the rule of thirds is probably one of the things that I was thinking of most sort of in the back of my mind when I was taking this image. And it's one that I think of a lot when I'm shooting. The rule of thirds says that it's really great to put your subjects and different parts of your composition on these lines, on these third lines that you build. So imagine you fold your image into three pieces and you create these one, two, three little panels in both directions and one, two, three in this direction as well. And then you can take that line and say, okay, I have an important here. I have this sort of leading line in the background. It's called a leading line when you've got sort of a line through your image. I'll put that on this lower third here, so on this axis that you see down at the bottom. And then I've got my grandma smiling face here. She was so mad at me because I was taking pictures of her with her curlers in. And I put her face right there on the other one. If it was a really close-up image, maybe I would put her eyes on there or something like that. But no, I put her face and she is standing then on this line right here, which is one of our thirds. And over here on this other third, I kind of had this other leading line that was this countertop. And then it went led down to this bright spot, which is always nice to have a bright spot sort of near one of your rules of thirds, sort of intersections there. And then the s'mores that she was making for my cousin's wedding are right there. So this is how the rule of thirds works. And the rule of thirds works for lots of different images. How about we kind of line two images up next to each other right now. You can see here that this image to the left is not sticking to the rule of thirds. The lines are kind of maybe like right here. And then on this one it's about right here. And our vertical line goes something like this right here. And in this image you can see one of the really great things about the rule of thirds is it's good for landscapes. You can see when you put the horizon on this lower third line, you get a really nice landscape. And when you put this piece of sort of jagged, this sort of important piece of your composition, sort of a tall piece of this, I would almost say is the subject of the image, you put it on that third and it looks pretty nice. And you actually also have this very nice, when you put this rock on the left third, you see that you've kind of got this nice spoke action from the clouds up top, which here it looks a little bit, there's a little bit of a conflict here. And you're also, when you look at this image, not exactly sure where to look because you look right at the middle and then your eye kind of is not really sure where to go after that. You also sort of have this awkward distance here. This proportion of the sky to the ground is also a little awkward. So here in this image they've done it all right and I would say they did a pretty good job. And somewhere in between these two images I would say is maybe a better image. But this is borrowed from some really great person on Wikipedia who volunteered their images for this project. So that's really great. Now here you can see I just put a very boring image that I took recently. I was on a bike ride through the city and I kind of like this. I love my bike here. I'm a big biker and so I, and you can see that I love it so much that it's falling apart. But you can just see in this image all the only reason I put this on is because it's just a snapshot with my cell phone camera. And you can see that I've kind of used the rule of thirds here to make what is essentially a really boring photo a little bit more interesting. It's still not a very good photo, but it kind of just is me loving my bike and loving it by taking photographs of it, which is how I love many of the things in my life. And so you can see here that I've kind of used this line right here as one of my thirds and a lot of times I notice on my own lines I often draw them out a little bit further to the edge than maybe the traditional sort of rule and state. I often like to put things a little bit outside of the root of the third or maybe a little inside the third, but not necessarily precisely on it sometimes. But here you can kind of see I've got these people here which offsets the weight of the image and a lot of this is about weight. And then we've got over here this kind of heavy line that goes through. Again we have another line right here that's being kind of uncovered by this upper third. And so it gives the image a nice sort of comfortable balanced feeling where you can imagine if I were to put this here, not only would the lines be intersecting at the bike seat, but it would just maybe feel a little bit empty in the middle or something like that. So you can see how you can use the real rule of thirds in a little bit in a way to kind of make boring images more exciting. That's kind of one thing that we photographers have to do sometimes. Here you can see a couple more images that I've taken recently. I just wanted to kind of compare the horizons thing that we were talking about just a little bit ago. You can see here I put my friend Rebecca, we were hiking in Germany here. We were hiking in the mountains and I put her on one of the thirds. I said, okay, she's right there. I wanted her head actually even on the third because I thought that was kind of important. And you can see up at the landscape on the lower third. And then I kind of used this tree and kind of used that to fill up another that one third over here. And that kind of makes a nice balanced image. If this was empty, it might feel it might be a better picture or it might be a worse picture. But I kind of liked it with the tree and I didn't have much option with sort of cutting it down. It wasn't much option other than getting closer. And then here you can see that I've put the landscape. I will put the concentration on this field here. I wanted to get this sort of flowering field of I think it's called canola in English down here at the bottom. And I kind of just wanted the sky. The sky was going to be overexposed and overcast anyway. So I just wanted to concentrate on the flowers. So you can see I kind of pushed that up to the top third. And that's what they say. They say to put landscape the horizon line on the bottom or the top third. And that will give you stronger images. And in that case, you also just want to choose which one is more important for you. In this picture, Rebecca was more important. So I put her up above. I kind of got her off of the background, put her up here on the sky so you could really see her. And on this image, I really wanted to emphasize the flower. So I tilted the camera down. And that is what composition is all about. Composition equals emphasis. Emphasis is the key to taking strong images. You want to know what your subject is. You want to know what you're photographing. And then use your composition as a tool to achieve that. And this is an image that I took just the other day when I was riding my bike to work one day. And I thought, wow, hey, it's a really beautiful morning. I should document this just like I probably say just about every day. And I've got a little bit higher than a third here. You can actually see I kind of overshot my third on the top here. Let's try this again. So my thirds would probably be right about here and here. And then I've got another third here and here. And I've put my shadow. So this is me riding my trusty bike. You all know how much I love my bike now. And put myself down here on the bottom third. And then I kind of used the top. And I didn't really want a lot of sky. I just wanted lots of cement. And mostly it was about this shadow that I wanted to capture in the sort of the direction of the images up and to the left. And so I kind of wanted to capture all of that. But you can see I kind of sort of stuck to the rule of thirds just on a corner of my image. And not necessarily in the whole thing, which can work as well. So again, not the most groundbreaking image. But it's just something that I took the other day and thought, hey, well, kind of a rule of thirds image. Here you can see an image that is a little bit older and also maybe doesn't look necessarily like directly a rule of thirds sort of situation. But it kind of is. Now usually I don't shoot crooked images and you'll hear me complain about that in lots of these videos. But sometimes I do. Sometimes it happens. And here you can see that I took an image of some people walking. Not too far from where I took the picture of the bike with the other people in the rule of thirds a while back. This picture was taken actually I think on the same day. And here you can see that I have used the rule of thirds to sort of divide up the subject. So I have a subject on one third and a subject on the other third. And in this case they are shadows, but they could also be people. And you can see that I have sort of stuck them all in those places. And there's not, although there's not a lot happening down here in the lower third. You can see I also kind of put all the conflict points where all the lines and everything are hitting sort of on the thirds. Which is another way to use it. You can use just two of them if you want or one of them or you can use all of them. It depends on what you have in front of you and what you want to do with it. Now again we are on our hiking trip. This was the day that I took the photo of Rebecca on the rocks. But now we are looking at the map and I think this is actually a couple hours later. We're in a restaurant trying to figure out where we are going from here. And you can see here that we have got another rule of thirds sort of situation going on here. We put Christopher right here on the corner of this third. And we've got his hand right here and sort of divided out. We've taken the map and put it on this lower third. We've taken sort of the building and everything else and put it on this other third. And the one thing that I would really change about this image is just this right here. Which is just sort of lazy photographer. I wish that I would have figured out a way to either get rid of or include this arm, Rebecca's arm in the image. And sometimes rules are meant to be broken. You can see here that I have broken the rule of thirds. You can see I put the one, I put the part of the sign on the third. But that was mostly coincidental. And I have placed my subject in the very middle of the image. Usually you're kind of aiming for these corners, these intersection points, is where you're trying to put your subjects. But in this image it just didn't make sense and I kind of thought, you know I just really like this, I really like the stone sign. And I thought okay well then I'll just put it right in the middle. And I think it works, it's not, again not the most exciting and amazing image in the world. But it also just kind of captures a memory in a way that I think is somewhat visually appealing. So you can, you know, take this rule with a grain of salt. It's there to be used but not abused. Alright, so that was our lesson about the rule of thirds.

Sapphire read extensively from Push when she read at the main library, but in this short clip she remembers the city of San Francisco. I haven't seen her in 10, 11 years. I'm 24, 25 years old. My grandmother and aunt have heard I moved to San Francisco. They call all the L's in the book. The conversation is simple. Working where? Going to school where? Chemistry. Yeah, chemistry. I want to be a doctor. I remember them heavy coffee cream colored women, doilies, food, church. I don't remember passion or being loved. There are hills in San Francisco steep stairways of cement trolley cars 1975. The city, is it nice there? Nice. How can I say nice doesn't describe the way my blood gushes, how I bead my hair with tiny red beads, hundreds of them beauty bleeding? Yeah, it's nice here I answer. What do they want now after the rubber hose, the tenderloin tube down my nose and throat? What do they want with me now? What do I need a grandmother and aunt for now?

In today's video I set out to get the two final endings we needed, the slacker ending and the death ending but I only ended up getting the slacker ending and then I started to move on to custom night and then that's when things really started to kick off. We got a new high score in endless mode and we had a few attempts at classic custom night where it's just, you know, survived till 6am. I don't want to spoil anything even though the title and thumbnail kind of spoil everything but I'm just going to let you guys see the video. So first off we're going to start with the slacker ending and then we'll move to custom night. So if you guys don't know to get the slacker ending I actually had to go through the entire game again in Beets Night 1 through 5 so what I did instead of boring you guys to death with all of those nights I'm just going to skip those and just show you the ending. Well I'm going to show you me beating the knights first and then I'll show you the ending and then that's where my commentary starts to kick in and then that's where the actual video really starts. So here's the slacker ending, enjoy it because it took me over half an hour to get which isn't really that bad but I had to play the entire game again. Here you go. Yes. Night 1. The easiest night and now we just, where am I going? This way? I've lost. No, here. Just get out of there. Night 2, come on. Going to do the same thing for all the knights. You went home, yep. I guess you could say I'm a bit of a slacker to get that slacker ending if you know what I mean. Right at the end, but that is night 2 down and just like night 1 we're just going to walk out of the building. I still don't remember the exact layout but I made it out of there eventually because I'm a rebellious slacker. Hey, ba da boo, ba da bam. Night 4 done. Going to leave, like always, going to get the slacker ending. Go here, go here, there. This probably isn't the most efficient route but whatever gets you there. I went home. Shift complete, night 5, final 1. Okay, so now we leave the building. I don't know if I should go over and fix Heady. I think I just leave the building. Oh God, I've done this for like over half an hour. I don't want to lose my progress. I'm just going to leave. Okay, it is the right thing to do. Justin Smith, poor Fitty. Damn, that's not too bad. Hey, you didn't do any of the tasks we asked you to do. You're fired. Hot man. Hey, 37, 1936. This is taking place in 1937. That's a lot earlier than I thought. Okay, so do I want to spend another half an hour and get the, I think it's called the death ending where we get spring locked. I know we get spring locked from Heady. I just don't know exactly how it goes down. Or do I just want to dive straight in and get some attempts at custom? I kind of want to do this. Let's see, a minute and seven. I kind of want to do... I kind of want to do endless mode and see if I can get a new record. 727, oh my God. I'm going to see if I can get a new record in endless mode. I will not be talking for obvious reasons, but I'm just going to try. Because now I've technically beaten the game twice. Let's see if I've improved. I think I might be late with Jolly. No, I'm all good. Come on, keys. Okay, maybe late with this person, with Torley. No, I'm all good. Oh my God, this thing is a pain. Hey, Jolly. Okay, that's definitely, yeah. I want to call him the Hamburglar for some reason. Okay, we're doing pretty good. I think once we get this... and we're almost there. Okay, that's definitely you, yep. Okay, we do have a new record, so let's just see how long we can drag this out for. Oh God. I don't think much longer, because this virus thing is killing me. Yeah, this virus thing is a pain. Also the vent people... Heddy's okay, she's not that bad. But, no, I might be late. No, I'm all good. She's not that bad. She's still bad. Don't get me wrong. She's just not as bad as I was expecting her to be, if I'm being honest. Actually, no. She's kind of what I expected. Ah! I thought I missed you. Ah, well, nearly two minutes, I'll take that. I do kind of want to get two minutes. There's no way I'm going to get on the scoreboard. That is just never going to happen, so don't ever expect that. I'm going to see... I'm going to give actual custom night an attempt. Not endless mode, but custom night. So, this is the exact same thing. It's just, you know, survive six minutes, I think. Is it the same thing? Because right now it doesn't seem like it's... Oh no, it's definitely the same difficulty. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to beat this. Yeah, this is a... This is a ouchies. Wait, I got killed by Popo, but it said I got suffocated. Yeah, this is a big oof. 620, wow. Don't think I'm going to be able to beat this. I will give it a few attempts though, because this video is definitely going to be pretty short, because I'm going to be skipping through me. Skipping through the nights that I had to... Ah, yep, that was just stupid. Yeah, I'm going to be skipping through all the nights that I had to get to, to get the ending, because that just, wow, that took a while. I could, if I really wanted to, try and get the death ending, but I think I'm going to save that for like, the final thing, because that's really the mind-boggling ending. Okay, um, yeah, I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to beat this custom night. Oh, wait, I saw it. Ooh, I'm going to wait. Okay, good, good, good. I give it a U, I don't know why I went to flip up the monitor. That would have been stupid. Yeah, this is just utter chaos. Like, Jollibee was just here, and he's back. And it feels like the thing, yeah, I think I'm dead, because I think, yeah, I'm definitely dead. Ooh, wait, if I, uh, no, I probably could have gotten there if I was fast enough, but I definitely need to get quicker. Um, I definitely need to get quicker with my reflexes, if I want to ever beat custom night. I definitely don't expect me ever to get on the leaderboard for Endless Mode, and that's not even something that I really consider to be a main priority for this game. I think giving it, giving it my best shot, though, is going to be fun. And I think two minutes might, oh, wow, that was lucky. And I think two minutes might just be my top score. Is there someone in the, okay, no. I think two minutes might be, uh, pretty close to my maximum time. Hard, please be not the person, oh, you are, I'm dead, I'm dead. I didn't even get that virus, come on. Oh, wait, I've been on Endless Mode. Wait, why was I on Endless Mode? I swear I switched it over to regular mode. Huh, weird, maybe I didn't, maybe I was just being stupid. But now we're not on Endless Mode, because you can see up here the timer. Alright, maybe I'll be able to do this. This is basically Endless Mode just with a, with an end, which makes sense. Oh, God, I'm being very slow with this. But it's fine, because I somehow made out a lie, but I got to get to heady. Yeah, I didn't think so. Like, that's insane. I mean, I'm dead anyway, so I might as well just, yeah. The ads on that thing are insane. It just keeps going back to Endless Mode. It really wants me to do Endless Mode. Okay, I'm gonna try to get to two minutes. I'm gonna try and get to exactly two minutes. Two minutes or more. Okay, that's the, this video is not allowed to end until I get to two minutes. Which is going to be a long time, because it's already relatively late and I still gotta edit the video. The very last camera I checked. Oh my God, three seconds and you're already in your next stage. Oh my God. I'm trying to keep track of what camera I left off at. Maybe that'll be easier for me trying to go get the virus. Oh God, I thought I had way much more time. I think, I think I'm dead. Ooh, no, no. Oh God, you are in final stage. That's what I thought. Okay, well I thought I was dead from the guy in the vent. I might be now though. Oh no, that wasn't even him. Get to it, get to it. That's him though. I'm trying to find, I'm clutching this way too much. I should not be clutching it this much. This is too much clutch. I thought I heard you, but there was too much happening. God dang it, that's only like three seconds away from New High Score. That's only seven seconds away from two minutes. There was just way too many people that I had to keep track of at that specific moment in time. So I was just panicking a whole lot. If I didn't get Heddy, then he would have got me. If I didn't get him, then Heddy would have gotten me. So I think no matter what, I was kind of dead in that situation. So, big oof. Oh my God, you are a lot worse than what I was expecting. Oh my God, you stonking me bro. You know, I wasn't even paying attention to the people in the vent. Shoot. No. That would have been cool. Again, the overlapping of the noises. Of the vent noises. That's gonna... Ah, shoot, I may have messed myself. No, I didn't. I'm taking a big risk here. And it was not right. No, it was right. Hey, bada boom bada bam. I got you a piece of ham. Hey yo, that was good. Glad I was in the vents. Wait, am I gonna die from vent guy? I feel like I'm about to... That was a big risk. I really should not have done that. But it paid off. Oh shoot, I clicked off the game. A few more seconds boys. But I feel like I... I'm gonna die. Let me just have this. I ain't doin' it, I'm happy. I am happy. Yay, look at the smile on my face. I'm gonna be not gonna live long, am I? Could we get three minutes? Hey, hey, hey, that was pretty good. Hey, can we get the... Wait, can we get three minutes? Wait a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I might be getting too far ahead of myself, but can we get three minutes? Hey, I do know. You just teleported right back to your spot, but I ain't complainin'. Hey, ten more seconds. I just don't wanna... That's what I didn't want. Hey, I mean, it's not that bad. Hey, it ain't that bad. Hey, three minutes. Whoa, what is happening? Um, honestly, what is happening right now? Why am I surviving this long? Um, I'm actually kind of concerned. Because I can't be... I can't be good at a game, can I? That's just... Oh, definitely, definitely bad at a game. Definitely bad at a game. 100% bad at a game. Ah! He was there for way too long, but three minutes, 34. Oh my god. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Hey, Google. Three minutes, 34 seconds to seconds. 3.566666667 No. Minutes of arc is equal to 214 arc seconds. Oh my god, wait, we're actually kind of close to the leaderboard. 214 seconds? If I get, like, a minute more, which is asking for a lot, but based on my, uh... Based on what I just did there, which I'm very surprised of, we could maybe get on the leaderboard. Oh no, that's definitely a streamable thing though, so, uh... I'm not gonna push my luck too hard. Too hard today, but oh my god, this was a very, very, very good video. Not only did we get an extra ending, which was probably the worst one to get the slacker one, but anyways, it's an ending nonetheless, so I'm happy about that. But three minutes and 34 seconds in endless mode? That is unbelievable. That is way more than what I thought I was ever going to get. So that is just absolutely insane. Hopefully I was recording for that, because oh my god, that was insane. But thank you everyone so much for watching, and we're definitely gonna have to do some streaming for endless mode, because I feel like we're starting to get the hang of it, so hopefully we'll be able to do that soon. But thank you everyone so much for watching, and I'll see you all on the flip side. Bye-bye.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzJyyAAAA1I", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Now to avoid the sweaty pecks and back Well, you can't really avoid that But you can't avoid your gross excretion of sweat by wearing white or black tees See, wearing any other colors, especially gray, will show exactly where you're sweating at And if you're wearing white or black, it's just not gonna show it Trust me, man, I've had some embarrassing moments I've had a girl tell me that I'm sweating too much on a date And you know who you are Third tip to look fly this summer is wear some shades You wanna protect your eyes, it's hella bright outside And also shades will help shape your face and hide any imperfections So find a pair of shades that fit your face shape Basically to sum it up, if you have a rounder face You wanna go for frames that have more edges to it And if you have a more defined face Then you wanna go for your rounder-shaped lenses Fourth tip for you guys is something that carries over from the springtime And that is wearing lighter, brighter colors It's hot, bro And all black outfits gonna kill you in the summertime And I live in New York City where you're standing in hot subways And you're walking around everywhere So you wanna avoid colors that trap heat So wear your pastel colors, your floral patterns Because you can't stand out with layers anymore You gotta stand out with color Next up, a great way to look fly this summer is to start wearing no-show socks See, the age of tucking your sweatpants into your socks is over Because you're gonna be wearing shorts, low-top sneakers And just exposing your legs more And a terrible look is wearing the wrong size socks with your sneakers I mean, you tell me which looks better So go ahead and give no-show socks a try It's definitely gonna step up your swag Alright fellas, this is the most important part of looking fly this summer Why? Because you're not gonna be wearing layers and you're going to be exposing more skin So the best way to express yourself other than clothing is your accessories Bracelets, necklaces, watches, rings Wearing any of this is going to step up your outfit game Think of it this way Your basic outfits like your white t-shirts and shorts Is like a plain cheese pizza I mean, a plain cheese pizza is fine and a plain outfit is fine But if you wanna step it up, you wear your accessories AKA toppings So like your sausages, pepperoni, pineapple For you weird people that eat pineapple Wearing bracelets, watches, necklaces All of that is going to make a complete outfit And a better outfit Don't sleep on accessories fellas And last but certainly not least, rock the bro tanks You're gonna look like a douche baby You'll stop caring about what people think You're out here trying to stay breezy and fly And also you've been watching my channel You know you wanna be more aesthetic You wanna show off the gains So just consider your outfit an athleisure outfit So yeah fellas, start wearing tanks It's a great way to switch up your outfits If you think you can't wear tanks because you got no gains Then try and get gains and still wear the tanks Alright fellas, let me know if you found this video helpful By hitting the like button Go and follow me on Instagram It is FlyWithJohnnyTai Subscribe to the channel if you haven't already And leave your comments down below On what other videos you guys wanna see And until then, stay fly and I'm out Peace	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzdOmj0e_tw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I will show you two methods for this. The first one, very manual, so you will see every step involved to have a very big control into every aspect of the effect and the second one, a bit more automatic at the end. I really like to add rain into my artwork because it adds a lot of mood and a lot of atmosphere and ambience. The first thing you need to do, I will take this page of paper and carrot as an example during this tutorial and we will learn how to make a layer like that with the rain effect on it. But I will remove it and I'm coming back. So the first thing you need to do is to prepare your artwork for receiving the effect of rain. You need to paint it with a bit of reflection because everything is wet and you need also to show some little drop of water boonzing on the surface because yes, when you have rain eating the surface, some little particle boons and it's good to paint that also and the most important, you need to create some room for the value of the rain because it's white stroke so you need, for example, to not use too much white on your background and to use a value a bit darker in the general artwork. So for daylight scene, it works like that and for night scene, of course, it's always work better. So the first thing we need to do is we will create a new layer. It will be our rain layer so we can already name it rain. And then I will fill all the layer with black. So selecting black color and edit fill with foreground color. I will try to not use a lot of shortcuts so you can follow it by only the interface but I can do it all by shortcut of course. Then I will go to filter, other and generate a random noise. This will be the base of our effect. So this noise in Krita is in color and we don't want the color. So I will go to filter, adjust and go into desaturate and press OK. So now I have only a black and white noise and I want all these little dots to merge with the neighbor into this grid. So I will go to filter, blur and add a Gaussian blur filter. Five is a bit weak so I will boost it around 10 and press OK. So now we have this blurred noise and with it I can contrast it to only select white dots. And it will be our base particle for the effect. So I'm going to filter, adjust and I'm going to the level. And here you can see all the dots. So I'm just putting the black and the white to only select them by the contrast. And here you can already work on the density of your rain. The particles are not in motion but it's like dots. So I want quite a lot and quite a good contrast with them like this white point. And I will press OK. So now I have this background black and I want to see my artwork. So I will transform the black into transparency. And for this I will go to filter, color and color to alpha and select the color I want to transform to full transparency to black. And I'm pressing OK. So now I have my little white point into the air and I want just to add a motion for them. So filter, blur and motion blur. I will add a bit more length, 60 and for the direction I will use the widget to put the rain a bit vertical. If you have a bit of wind you can always put a slightly little angle like that. I will keep that. So now you have your rain effect done but if it's not enough powerful like here it's a bit gray and the motion blur a bit reduces the opacity of each rain drop. So you can always go to filter, adjust and call the color adjustment curve and select the alpha so the transparency and we will reduce it. So just our rain would be more visible. So that's the very manual effect way of doing rain. And with this you have a very good control about the angle, about the density and about a lot of aspect. In a second time I want to show you a more automatic method that involves using gimmick filters. So I will hide my rain filter, select the artwork and you need to have a flat artwork for this and you will call filter and start gimmick. So by default I can search here for rain in the search and I will find the filter rain and snow. And as you can see here it proposed in the preview already the same effect we made but already made with the angle and the speed and also other settings. Don't forget to put the output mode to new layer because we don't want to get the white of the rainy effect directly on our artwork. It would be very difficult to edit our artwork and when it's done I will just tweak it a bit, a bit more radius and a bit more speed. And you can press OK. The result you get is with a black background so you know how to do. Go to filter, color and press color to alpha again, select black and then you will have your effect. But I usually prefer to make it manual. So that's all for today. If you like this tutorial please feel free to comment it, share it and if you have idea for a next tutorial for next week please leave it in the comment below the video. Thank you for watching. Bye bye.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ7g2netwoY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

sloppy joes and we are having broccoli fries so this is the sloppy joe sauce that I had in my pantry that I wanted to use you just add a pound of ground beef or if you have ground turkey whatever you have and then we are having these broccoli fries now I bought these during a time when I guess I thought I was healthier than I was so they have been sitting in the freezer and I needed to make them so they are broccoli and potato fries Howard and I tried them we said they're okay he said they need some ketchup but I feel weird about eating ketchup and broccoli but they definitely do need something I would not repurchase these I mean they're not bad but they're just okay I started off cooking them in the air fry they were a little bit too soft so I moved them to the oven so here's what they look like this is Howard's plate he made a little design for you guys and here's a sloppy joe that's the meat on the bottom he added some cheddar cheese some tomato and avocado this is my plate

UCtqzN78IJnYSP8fppbBv-CQ	Maharishikaa \| Energy Policy India - Wind, CO2, Poverty, The Science!	Are the India climate change policies backed by real science? Dnyaneshwar, concerned about India’s participation in new climate change based energy policies, notices that areas where wind turbines are installed, become infertile, resulting in the death of both plant and animal life. This brings up the question: Are all anti CO2 based alternative energy sources better for the environment? Do these climate policies genuinely benefit the environment and the poor of the planet? In this compelling video, Maharishikaa Ji challenges widespread ideas about climate change, offering individuals an unexpected way to combat environmental destruction… #Maharishikaa #ClimateChange #SelfRealization Aaryaa Maharishikaa Preeti Maiyaa, is a revolutionary female mystic who fearlessly dares to demystify spirituality in her unrelenting call to realize Self, and act from Source.

What I came to know recently was that by 2030, Bharat is supposed not to produce a certain number of CO2 or carbon print. It's supposed to be replaced with renewable energy like solar or windmills and things like that. I've seen that like windmills, whichever area they are being put, it's just a disaster for the environment around it, for all the beings who are living in that area. So the question is why these nations are forcing developing nations to reduce their carbon print, whereas they have done that all these years and suddenly they realise that, okay, the others shouldn't be doing it. Well, there are many geopolitical reasons for this. They're not very rational. That whole climate change movement is just simply not based on science. That whole fear of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is not an enemy. The whole plant world depends on carbon dioxide to be alive. It can't possibly be the enemy it's made out to be. The whole wind energy lobby is producing electricity at a price which is far greater than the so-called fossil fuels, which are not always fossil fuels. And that wind energy lobby is causing a lot of damage to the world, one on a political level but also simply as you put it through the installation of all these wind turbines, environmental damage, they don't want to look at the science and the United Nations, all those various commissions will always bring science that suits an agenda which is to prevent developing nations like Bharat, India, from working with fossil fuels and the non-fossil, so-called fossil fuels and also growing through that. In fact, there's more deaths and damage caused by that lobby against fossil fuels than by the fossil fuels themselves. Way more. The science says it all. I mean, these papers are available to read everywhere. So anyone in their right senses, if they actually study the science, will clearly say there is something afoot which is strange. There are lobbies behind all of this which are trying to do something which has no basis in science. It just does not, but the price you pay for these experiments is very, very high. And I don't think these countries, these poor countries can even afford to sign those agreements because they won't be able to live up to them unless wind turbine companies are ready to put turbines everywhere in every village in India. At 664,000 villages in this country, are they ready to put a turbine in each village? I don't think so. And to demonize carbon dioxide, I don't understand that because there is no basis in science. Actually, what is happening is it's the movements in the sun that cause the climate change far more than all of the rest of it. And that's what the science says. All the independent scientific papers that are not supported by foundations and NGOs that want to push a certain agenda will say that it is clearly the movements in the sun that are causing the climate change. And what do they mean by they want a certain temperature? What temperature are they going to measure as being the right temperature so everyone is satisfied? These are all, there is a political machination behind it and there are lobbies and there are groups that want to push these new energy forms. They are actually amazing. I mean, wind energy has it's a fascinating way to produce energy, no question about it. But it is not economical, it is not environmental friendly. That's the fact. I know personally a few sites on the Mumbai-Banglore Highway. I have seen those places where they have this wind turbine. What I gathered is that the area where they are installed, the land is not anymore fertile. There are no birds, the trees are not growing in that area anymore. It's not an economical form of energy creation. The cost of setting them up, I mean look at those turbines. They are not a little donkey, they are windmill. I mean, they are like these huge constructions. And this demonizing of carbon dioxide, in fact there are many scientists who speak about it and you can read their papers. And these are real scientists they are not bought and paid for by the lobbyists. They are real scientists. And they unanimously say this. The climate change has an enormous amount to do with the sun itself and its movements and its behavior. Over centuries you can measure this. You can read historians and what they wrote about temperatures and there were very, very, very cold temperatures which suddenly over a period of 50 years or more rose. So I don't know why India has signed something like this because it's not going to be able to live up to it. It's going to mean that everyone who cooks in those huts all over the country in all those 164,000 villages are going to have to stop using coal for example. It's not feasible. It's going to result in more deaths than the climate change. It already has resulted in far, far more lives lost. This whole policy pushed through by all these people there's something transformative happening in the world today. One cannot look at all this from a logical rational point of view and start measuring the carbon dioxide. The things to measure are not the carbon dioxide. There are other parameters to measure, not the carbon dioxide. It's not as harmful as it is posited to be. And the fact that human beings limited by their logical rational approach are pushing through an agenda which is more dangerous for other human beings than if they would try to move in the direction of the expansion of consciousness because the more the consciousness expands the less a person destroys the environment. Period. That's a law of nature. It's a law of physics. And that has to be taken into account too. Tomorrow the more transformative a population is the more they can do things with energy which people can't even imagine today. And while I'm not against the development and the further experimentation with wind energy, with all of that we should continue those experiments but to impose that kind of quasi-knowledge and semi-scientific information on a large public, a large population. It's a very small minority that has these ideas and it has suddenly been absorbed as being something that everyone has to swallow. I don't think these countries who have signed such things are going to be able to live up to it anyway. I hope that they don't make their populations lose their lives because of having signed these accords. And it's interesting you bring this up today because there was this electricity failure and we are living with electricity. I mean there are those who don't want to live with electricity but it is a romantic idea not to want to live with electricity. I'll light my little candle and be happy, you know. We need energy and for India to agree to something like this I hope is a political strategy that they can revoke at some point. I mean I trust the Indian government to have a plan which is not harmful to the people. Not just of India, it's not about a political entity. It's about the poor people of the world. The poor will suffer, they will die if this is pushed through. They'll die of hunger. Then my point is, so what if everything is full of carbon dioxide in 100 years or that everything is cold? We have to think about now, we cannot make people starve because of an agenda of an elite few which has no scientific basis. It doesn't have science backing it. It just simply doesn't. There's a time to read even one of those papers by professors from universities like Harvard, like Stanford some of whom have actually left those institutions because of the corruption and have then pursued their own investigations to reach findings that are based in much more truth than the other ones who are bought and paid for. So it's a tough time actually in this whole climate policy. The world is okay, plants need carbon dioxide. Nobody is going to die because of the oceans rising a little bit. All those wealthy people with their homes at the beach can learn swimming and the poor of the world cannot be sacrificed on this climate policy, this climate madness, this climate religion.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzE-fb1u1bA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

That's exactly what you did tonight How would you evaluate the way you pitched? I thought it was fine, you know, I threw the ball with conviction tonight. I was happy about that I thought my stuff was fine Limited them to I think two extra base hits. So that's usually a good thing You know, they were just a little bit better. I felt like we were right there the whole night They were just a little better tonight 26 per pitch first inning. They clip you for a run there What was the challenge and getting over that any and bouncing back trying to try to minimize it there? I don't think anything was particularly hard hit in that first So just trying to try to manage that inning and I try to get out of there with his little damage It's possible and I just try to move forward and I just kept trying to move forward tonight You've pitched here often enough as the home player and as a visitor You kind of had a Yankee Stadium special only a homerun that might be a homer at Yankee Stadium You smile now, but on the mound when that happens is that is that kind of infuriating at the moment? It can be tough to take. I think that's one of those things you try to move forward as best you can as quick as you can You know, I felt like he executed a pitch and he put a good swing on it and it kind of is what it is You know, luckily it was a solo solo shot But yeah, I just try to move forward after that your foreseam fastball has been your calling card for so long But the numbers are much better with that pitch in July, but you can speak beyond the numbers How does that pitch feel coming out of your hand? How did it feel tonight? It feels it feels better than it did to start the season and I feel like the swings I'm getting are better and I feel like I've unlocked a little bit and my delivery that's helping me a little bit with that So I feel like the last four maybe four outings or so That has been better. What was the change or the modification in the delivery? Just just kind of a feeling I have in my hips as I rotate It's probably a little difficult to explain. It probably looks really similar, but the feel is different I feel like it's coming out a little bit better. And I think that makes my other pitch is better Two starts in a row from you and Domingo Does that help turn the page maybe over that the week of the rotation struggling like it did? Yeah, I mean we don't like that week obviously But we don't think that's indicative of who we are as a staff as a group I think we win that game tonight or more often than not I just think you know, it wasn't our night, but I think we keep moving forward and We're confident in a group we got Save for a couple months that they wanted to add to the pitching. It's gonna be deadline day tomorrow Nothing's happened yet. Are you surprised and are you expecting something to happen tomorrow? I'm not in charge of that you guys know that I'm going out there and try to pitch. We'll see what happens, but we feel like we got more than nothing here right now All right, so I was glad he was asked about his	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzeZQSQ59S4", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

The quality of our lives is more often than not, dependent on the habits we keep. What type of habits are you currently cultivating? Are they healthy habits? Can they help you grow? Great habits can change your life. In this video, I'll share with you 9 healthy habits that can change your life. 1. Quit binge watching movies. I know it's your favorite show, and it's on every day. But are you getting enough sleep? Sometimes we can't have everything we want. We have to sacrifice them for the greater good. You're ultimately no good to anyone if you're ill from lack of sleep. Binge watching also means you're not really doing something productive with your time. It also means you don't plan your day ahead of time. It is really not something you want to get into. If you're already doing this, try sleeping by 8pm. If you try and you still can't, try reading a book. I guarantee you'll fall asleep in less than an hour. When you're young, you're meant to maximize your time, planning and executing. You have a lot of dreams to birth. It really isn't a time for binge watching. It is a time luxury you cannot afford now. Wealthy and successful people spend their time building their wealth and creating business strategies. If you must stay up, at least spend the time working on your goals. 2. Get enough sleep. You may think you're fine, but you're not. Sleeping 5 hours a day is no good. You need at least 8 hours of sleep a day. Yes, I know you're busy. But we all have a lot to do too. We each have 24 hours in a day. If you spend just one hour daily working on your goals, you'll be very successful in society. This is as long as you're consistent. Sleep can make a difference in the quality of your work. When you don't get enough sleep, you'll produce poor quality of work. Your mind will not get enough time to recover from yesterday's work. Sometimes even taking a power nap can come in handy. Most modern offices have a lounge for recreation and power naps. If you feel dizzy at work or you just can't seem to get any work done, it may be a good idea to take a quick nap. It can work miracles. People who sleep well tend to be moral art at work too. The benefits are just so many. 3. The clutter. Having too many things around you that you don't need, not only clutters your apartment, but also clutters your mind. Imagine trying to brainstorm in a room that had two months worth of laundry. You may not even know where your pen and notebook is. Having stuff is not bad, but having things you don't need can really make you feel surrounded. You need space to breathe. According to Quartz, a 2012 study suggests that spending four days immersed in nature will improve creative problem solving by 50%. Now you know why you need space. Nature has a lot of fresh air in space. There are trees, but they are not clustered together. The more organized your apartment is, the better you can think and plan. This is a healthy habit to cultivate. It can help you save the time spent looking for things you should know where they are. It can also improve the ventilation in your apartment. 4. Eat healthy. Many of us don't like to hear this. We want what we want, right? But is it really the best? According to MedicineNet, one of the top capsules of obesity is frequent eating. You may want to cut down on donuts. Foods high in fat are the problem. You can avoid all this by only eating healthy. Eating an orange once a week is a start, but it isn't good enough. Eating healthy is hard work. You have to have a diet plan. Whether or not you have gained some pounds, your meals have to be classified and altered within the week. That way, you are not getting any type in excess. This is usually also combined with an exercise routine to burn excess calories. Even if you have gained some pounds, it still doesn't matter. It is never too late to start. What matters is your willingness to commit to doing better for yourself. If you eat healthy, you would not have to worry about many health-related issues in life. 5. Exercise regularly. This is part of a lot of successful people's routines. Exercise keeps you in shape and feet. You also get to release pent-up energy by doing a physically engaging activity. This is a very healthy habit that can help you in all areas of your life. Humans tend to muddle things down to other things. Their minds cannot tell the difference. If they are honest at home, they tend to be honest at work. If they are organized at work, they tend to be organized at home. If you are consistent with exercising, you would also tend to be consistent at work, fulfill your goals and keep your commitments. It's a cycle of positivity. 6. Build your self-esteem. Your self-esteem is very central to your success in life. You need to believe in yourself in order for others to believe in you. A great way to build your self-esteem is by surrounding yourself with people who share your ideals. Hanging out with people you feel are successful, but do not miss the chance to call out your weaknesses when you make mistakes is a wrong move. Be careful about your associations. If you associate with the wrong people, they can poke holes in your confidence. Read biographies of people you want to become. Try to understand your struggles and how they overcame and remind yourself that you too will overcome. Building your self-esteem is a healthy habit that can keep you from depression and help you achieve your goals. 7. This is one of the most essential habits to build when you're young. Nothing big ever truly starts big. It always starts small. You need to remember this all the time because many people are frustrated because they don't have the resources to push their dreams. I agree that it can be frustrating. But then, those pursuing their dreams now probably had a time when they did not have the resources. Developing the habit of starting small to build gradually involves patience. You have to be patient. Growth is not a one-off process. It is a gradual process. What really counts is whether you are growing every day. If you want to become a millionaire, don't look at your account balance in dismiss your idea or goal. Start small. Every dollar counts. Build on it and grow at your pace. 8. Setting a daily target. Consistency is crucial to success. People need to come to associate with some value you create over a long period. This actually happens over time. Setting a daily target for yourself can do the trick. If you want to be known as a writer, how many words do you write a day? Is your writing consistent? If you want to be known as a speaker, how many times will you rehearse your speeches? Do you speak as though you are in front of thousands of people? Success truly only comes when opportunity meets preparation. How prepare do you for the future you desire? It is useful to see each target as a step towards your goals. Imagine successfully writing on a blog every single day for three years. Any serious writing outlet will hire you because of your consistency and probably good writing. You can create success for yourself if you are willing to invest in preparing yourself for it. 9. Reduce stress. This is a pretty useful habit. Especially for this times, it is easy to get lost in work these days. You are grateful you still have a job. The bills are not going away. You are also supporting your parents. You feel like there is no end but you just have to keep going. You need to take a break. Work can be draining. Even if you have a lot of work on your table, take a break at least every one hour. You may be exaggerating the challenge. Give yourself time to process all information and always reread your emails for typos before sending them. The above are great healthy habits that can help you lead a happier and more fulfilling life. Try adopting one of them today. Who knows, it might just be what you need.

UC2RbTnQ9sr6r1FgbFKf-fOA	The Highs & Lows Of The 2018 Legislative Session		[ "Lakeland Public Television", "LPTV", "PBS", "Bemidji", "Minnesota", "MN" ]	2018-06-01T04:26:22	2024-02-05T16:24:35	151	VZ7RX41-7OA	Now that Governor Dayton has signed the 2018 bonding bill, legislators are taking a victory lap. As Josh Peterson met up with local lawmakers to get their thoughts on the past session. Shaking hands and sharing words of thanks are what legislators are doing while making their rounds after Governor Mark Dayton signed a $1.5 billion public works construction bill. Local lawmakers made a stop at Bemidji State University where $22.5 million in bonding was approved for the Hag Sauer Hall project. I would say this project to the community was equally important and it was just amazing to see the outpouring of support not only from the faculty and staff here but also from the community for this project and I think that's one thing that really helped us get this over the finish line this year and get Governor Dayton's signature. For a project that's been in the works for the past five years, local legislators are saying that the demolition and construction of a new Hag Sauer Hall is one of their biggest accomplishments. The priorities for the bonding last session were the priorities from the previous bill that didn't get signed and so to get this on it moved it up to give it another year to move up the food chain to be a priority this round and that helped us a lot. While bonding for state projects was a success, the Governor's veto of the tax bill among others was a disappointment. Would have liked to see the tax conformity come through, would have liked to see the school funding go through, the tax cuts, just a lot of transportation funding that was in the other bills, if we could have just gotten that through it would have really been a successful session. The tax bill wasn't the only disappointment. Frustration over the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee's block of a tougher sex crime and child pornography law remains unfinished business. Those are bills that, you know, it's a re-election, those are bills that I'm going to keep freshin' in the forefront and keep pushing them until I get these things completed. Now that session is over, focus for these two house reps turns to the campaign trail where they are hoping to pick up where they left off. In Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News. Other projects that were approved in the bonding bill include $12.5 million in funding for a Bemidji veterans home and $14 million for renovations of an elementary school in Red Lake. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ7RX41-7OA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Hi, my name's Becky Robinson. Hi, everyone. My name's Matt. I live in Cardedew. This is a small village near Barcelona. I live in a small town in the UK called Corona. I am from Ireland. I live in Fremont, Nebraska, in the United States of America. Hi, this is Abhishek from Srinagar, Otracalina, India. I'm Luis from Spain. Physician from Italy, very close to retirement. And I'm from Mexico City. I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. I'm from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Greetings from the Far North and New Zealand. This is a recording for Thinking 101. I am not comfortable with my face or my voice on a video because I strongly believe that people the more informed they are, the better choice that they're going to make. I decided to look at the social pressures in the college environment. People's belief in Chinese medicine's effectiveness. How we construct our organisations has tremendous impact on our integrity. Some of my beliefs were puppy-cock. How do we know that we aren't actually being influenced by an availability characteristic? Or being influenced by confirmation bias? Oh, Hannes, you should stretch before you skate. I have learned an incredible number of tools to improve everyday thinking from this course, the science of everyday thinking. My take on changing the world is changing myself. I believe that I indeed change the opinion of this group of 22 young men. I would tell my students, I would teach my students different ways in which they can improve their learning. I want my life to be influenced and influence other people. The project I'm going to take on with Thinking 101 would be something about planning and getting things done. Why do gamblers think that playing a poker machine more increases their chances of winning? In order to bring the peace needed to progress on to all those many other solvable problems that are occupying and capturing our very existence. If you can take just one moment to stop and critically evaluate the information presented to you, use System 2 and not System 1. You really have the power to change the world. I'm going to try to change the world a little bit by teaching children on a nearby foster care shelter about H.5 learning to learn. I might not be able to change the entire world, but I can certainly change my world. I've shared the knowledge I've gained over the past, reached with my family, and we are starting to think more like scientists. To work together with a very special group of students who are very keen to set up a club on campus that will promote scientific literacy. I'm going to do some lessons with high school students showing them that if they don't vote, someone else is making the decisions for them. So you have many opportunities to do it, to invite people to be skeptical, to ask questions. Cicinic acid, which is the element released from the amber, has a melting point of 187 degrees Celsius. And since body temperature is probably 37 degrees Celsius, there's no way that the acid could be released. I wish everyone's success in our attempts to change the world for the better. I think we all owe it to ourselves to slow down, consider the evidence, think clearly, and together we may just be able to change the world.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzrnlPyHGmQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It really comes down to the hard work, the dedication, and education that you put into your training. Now, we've all heard, or most of us have heard, and even advocated the expression, getting your black belt is not the end of your journey, but rather the beginning. Well, that's all well and good, but what does that mean exactly? You worked hard for years, you got your black belt? Now what? Today's topic comes from a question from one of our Patreon viewers. And I wanted to bring this up and present it to you guys for feedback and see what kind of point of discussion that we can start from here. Matthew Hemker asked me about the correlation between getting your black belt and then the obligation slash requirement that comes with it. Now, sometimes teaching is assumed just because you got your black belt or senior rank, depending on what art you're training. He asks, do you think that there is a place for the black belt that doesn't want to teach or perhaps shouldn't be teaching? And I think the quick answer I can give right off the bat is, my opinion? Yes, I do believe there is a path for those who don't want to teach. There is a popular misconception out there that just because you achieved your black belt means you were automatically certified and qualified to teach. Honestly, in my opinion, that couldn't be further from the truth. There's no definitive relationship between rank and teaching abilities. In a nutshell, achieving your black belt means or should mean that you have finished your curriculum and that you have at least an understanding and the ability to implement all the basics of your art. But that doesn't mean you're automatically qualified and ready to teach. Teaching another person is a skill in and of itself. It's not just knowing the knowledge of the material, but it is having the ability to communicate that knowledge to another person. And vice versa, the ability to teach well isn't always dependent on your rank either. And once again, I just have to reiterate that the belt itself physically means nothing. It is a piece of fabric. It holds your uniform closed and it's just used as a marker as to where you are in the system. And I think they're fine in that regard. You know, belts are great for keeping track of where you are in the curriculum and they're great in the classroom setting. But they are not the end-all answer to what you know or what you can do. Just like in school, a 12th grader is not automatically smarter and better than all the 9th graders. You know, all it means is that you have certain expectations based on the curriculum that you've completed thus far. So when we say that the black belt is just the beginning of your training, that means that at this point you've learned all the individual pieces and how they work together as a cohesive unit. What comes after that? Well, that's where things get interesting. So we can talk about advancing beyond the black belt. And of course, this is going to vary greatly depending on what art you train and especially if you're in a Chinese martial art or Brazilian art or karate, they're all different and there's all different requirements. But most of the time, once you achieve your black belt, like I said, you're beginning that there's room to grow after that. It's not the end of the curriculum. And in many, many cases, there's still more curriculum to learn so that you can still keep testing for further degrees or down levels. This is also the opportunity to take a deep dive look into your system. All those basics that you've learned, well, now's the time to start playing with them, analyze them, break apart techniques, put them back together, look at them from different perspectives. Sometimes you'll be very surprised what you can learn from material where you thought you already knew. So there's always a new nugget of information you can pull out. And here's where you're going to see a big divide. This is going to vary greatly across different schools and different systems. Every martial art works different. They all have different ways to lay out the curriculum. So just because one study topic works well for one art doesn't mean it's going to work for another. And that's actually honestly part of your quest to become a senior rank and become an expert in your art is to learn how that system works, learn where you can find the information and break it apart. You know, allow the burden is on your shoulders to get your own education off the ground. But when it comes to teaching, teaching is often a big part of achieving your black belt because it's kind of assumed to be a natural part of the progression. You know, you sign up as a white belt, you train for years, you test, you learn to become efficient on all your basics, and you become a black belt, and now what's the next course? Oh, and then you eventually become a teacher. Okay, well, that is true in many cases. And sometimes some schools, like even my earlier school, when I first started was, in order to test for your black belt, you had to have some time put in as an assistant instructor. That just meant helping out in a few classes. You had to have the hands-on work. You had to look at the material from an educational point of view, not just as a student. Now, if teaching is something you truly don't want to do, then this is something you need to really have a serious discussion about with your instructor. And if you're in an art where teaching is absolutely required to advance, then you may have come at the end of your own. You know, you might have to start exploring options, if that's not the direction you want to go. But in many cases, there's still a lot you can do, and there's still paths that are offered that you can follow that don't involve teaching. Now, when Matthew asked me the question, he actually used, as an example, American Kempo, because he knew that was my background. American Kempo, we don't use titles for our black belt ranks that are typical karate titles. We don't use to show it on, need on. It's typically more teaching titles. So for example, we use instructor, professor, and master. So the first four belt ranks are instructor levels. The next three belt ranks are professor levels, and the last three belt ranks are master levels. And they're called that because there is an expectation that you should at least have the ability to explain something. You know, once you reach a professor rank, you should know enough about your system to answer questions and really analyze and have a pretty good academic view. You're not expected to know everything yet, but you should have a really good grasp of the overall system and be able to teach it to somebody else. Now, the funny thing about that that was using Kempo as an example, you know, Matthew asked me about, because of the Kempo titles, but funnily enough, in Kempo, at least in my experience, I know a lot of people who chose not to teach that are still ranking up on black belts. They're still doing their training, but they chose not to teach. Teaching is not a requirement. You don't have to go open up your own school. You don't have to become an instructor if you don't want to. It's available and it helps rank you up. You know, if you want to advance, teaching is one way to do it. And also with Kempo, depending on what curriculum you went through, you've seen all the material. By the time you get to third, fourth, or fifth degree, and on which curriculum you follow. But by then, you've achieved and you've tested and you've learned all the curriculum, all the book work. And at that point on to rank, if you want to get sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth degree, it's time, commitment, teaching, contribution back into the art. You can't just sit there idle and just kick a pad all day. You actually have to bring something to the table, whether it be a new discussion or thesis or you teach. This is where you start to infuse your knowledge into the art and take it further. So a lot of us are like that. Yes, it's you giving back into the system. You giving to someone else or you giving new knowledge out there. That's how you rank up in many cases. So let's break that misconception right now that just because you got your blackmail automatically means you can teach. Teaching is a skill. It is a separate skill. It doesn't mean you accomplish book work, but it means that you have the ability to communicate ideas in such a way that you can break them down, make them easy to understand, and convey knowledge to a person and help that person on their quest to digest that information and learn it. It's not bound to the fact that because you have a piece of black fabric around your waist, it's not an automatic skill. It's something that you learn or some people can have a natural ability at it because the reverse is true. Just because you don't have a black belt doesn't mean you can't teach. My previous instructor, by the time he closed the school and moved out of the state about five years ago, he was a seventh degree black belt. But when I first met him, he was a green belt and he was just an assistant instructor in the class, but he was really good. He understood the material. He was very charismatic. He knew how to break it down for us to understand it. And as he ranked and has he got better, he got more and more teaching abilities. But he was one of the primary instructors at Brown Belt just because he was that good. And honestly, he was one of the best instructors I've ever met because he really knew how to open your eyes in a new way. He didn't just tell you to do this. He didn't just teach you the moves. He taught us how the moves worked, what they meant, how to take it apart because it was not just about memorization. It was about understanding. And I think that's really, really important when it comes to teaching. And unless you know how to do that or want to do that, just because you have your black belt doesn't mean you can do that. Again, black belt was just the beginning. And that's even if you're just in the traditional martial art. Even if you're in other arts that don't use belts such as MMA or maybe you're a boxer, there's always more you could learn. So just because you're really good at something or efficient and it could be considered an expert or enough to learn. Maybe you want to improve that footwork or maybe you want to learn how to dodge faster or do try out different combinations or break down a kata. There's always more you can peel back so it doesn't matter what art you're in. There's always something new to learn. You're always going to be able to drive forward to become a better fighter if you want to. But you have to take that initiative to do it. This is extremely true of American Kempo as well. You could spend a lifetime trying to find all the information embedded within the art. I know a lot of people out there are all about the fighting aspect and self-defense and that's one aspect but there's also something to be said about understanding motion and the science of motion and that's something else you could look at and learn if you want to. But the information is there. Whatever you're trying to learn it's in there and even now after 27 years of American Kempo I still go back to my wipeout material and I find new nuggets of information I never knew were there before. So there's always these layers you can peel back. And anyone who studies Kempo knows what I'm talking about because every one of our techniques has an idea or a concept. Whatever one technique does somewhere in the system there's another technique that has the opposite and reverse of it. Many times it's obvious, many times it's not. You have to find it a lot of times and it's kind of exciting when you do. Even just recently I was reviewing some old material and I came across two different techniques and I did one and I did the other and I went oh, wow. The second technique but it was upside down. Meaning that it was the same ideas, same principles of emotions that applied to the lower body versus the upper body. It was in reverse. So I was like, you know, as little things like that can pop out sometimes. For me that's exciting because that makes me look at it differently and understand that the concept cannot only be applied here it could also be applied there. And I think that's the important part of once you achieve your black belt is going back and looking for things like that. Look for patterns. What kind of hidden knowledge can you pull out? You can do the same thing with your combinations in MMA. You know, just because maybe a combination, a punching combination worked. Well, can you apply it to kicks and vice versa? What can you play with? What can you discover? Discovery is half the fun at least in my opinion. So to answer the question, yes, I do feel there is a path for those who are black belts that don't want to teach. There's plenty you can learn. There's plenty of knowledge to seek after there's a thousand different ways you can make yourself a better fighter. But I do recommend teaching for those who are willing to try it. At least understand how to do it because it offers you new perspective and I can't tell you how many times I've been teaching in class or I've been working with kids. I'm explaining the topic and through the process of my explanation to get them to understand it something clicks and I make a connection. I'm like oh, oh, yeah. And it just makes more sense to me. So to be able to explain something in detail to that person only helps you understand it even more. And for the record teaching children and teaching adults are two completely different experiences and both valuable in their own way. Teaching children is you have to take this complicated knowledge and break it down into small pieces so that they can understand it. You can't sit down with a ten year old and give them a two hour thesis on the economy of motion or maybe you could for some kids. But for the most part you got to break it down into smaller chunks and let them absorb it. Whereas with an adult, a person is going to expect more of a thorough explanation that they're going to want to know why. They're going to know how and they're trusting you to give them effective knowledge. So teaching children and teaching adults are two very different experiences but I do recommend at least giving it a try just because you can only sharpen your own skills by teaching somebody else something new. So if you're at a point where you're concerned with your future, you're not quite sure where they go next honestly talk about it with your teacher sit down with your instructor lay out a clear path to your training because you always want to have goals regardless of what you train in. So I can only speak for myself my own experiences. I would love to hear from all of you. What does your school do? When you achieve black belt or senior rank do you have to teach? Is that required? Or what other paths do you have in front of you that you could follow? I'm looking forward to all your feedback please be sure to leave it down below in the comment section and perhaps we can circle back around and continue the discussion in the future. So thank you all for watching and we'll see you next week.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz3beZUOKEQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UChVEUB3Rhd2Ywstwt5n4y3A	Master Class: The Future of the Internet	In this 2-hour course we will discover the want to provide the audience with a better understanding of the Internet and its operation. The first part covers technical services and organisations that form the fundamentals of the Internet ecosystem. Equipped with this knowledge we dive into some of the latest tech buzzwords and end this part with an interactive session on the disruptive force of the Internet. About the Speaker: Chris Buckridge is External Relations Manager for the RIPE NCC. This role involves engaging the broad range of RIPE NCC stakeholders, including RIPE NCC members, governments, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and international organisations such as the United Nations, the European Commission, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Buckridge manages an External Relations team spread across Amsterdam, Dubai and Moscow.

The master class will be presented by Chris Blackbridge, who is the manager of the external relations of the right NCC organization. The rest, please. Thank you very much. Thank you all for coming by at my institute of research. I work for the right NCC. It's my first time here alone, and the first time in our meeting actually, so I'm very glad to be here. Thank you for the welcome. Thank you for all showing up for this. I want to just get a few of the room here. Can I ask people to put up their hands? Who actually works in the internet as this sort of technical person here? Anyone? Okay. Okay. And who uses the internet? Okay, but most of you, I'm guessing all of you. Well, the student most of you use the internet. A bit of background about myself. I'm from Australia originally. I've worked for the right NCC for 12 years now. And before that, I worked for three years for APNIC, which is the Asia Pacific sister organization to the right NCC. You'll hear a bit more about that later in the presentation. Thank you, Chris. The background in that sense is going from a very communications kind of direction. I'm not an engineer. I don't have a technical background. I came into APNIC really with no idea that there was this whole system of internet architecture that involved people flying around the world, making policies, doing all this work. It's something that even today, even with everyone using the internet, is kind of invisible. I think most users don't necessarily have an understanding of how all of that stuff works. But it does affect us all. The choices that technologists or internet service providers or governments make about how these new government policies that are made actually affect you as users at the end of the day. And there are opportunities for you to get involved in that. There are opportunities for users who get a little bit more educated to understand what's going on, to actually contribute to that automated process. And that's probably the point as I'm looking at here. It's why rather than just the future of the internet, I've thought we're talking about shaking the future of the internet together because I think there's a lot going on on the internet. And you can talk about energy, internet of things. You can talk about artificial intelligence. You can talk about big data. You can talk about cyber security. I'm not really going to talk about most of those things because that's what they're people who do those things and tell me the most part. But what the organization that I work for and the community that I work for does is actually make policies that help govern what we do with those new technologies. That say, okay, the internet of things is taking over and it's providing all of these new opportunities. How do we make sure that that's fair? How do we make sure everyone can have access to that? How do we make sure that this is not sort of one or two giant multinational corporations taking off and running the internet? We actually make sure that the internet is something that all of us can use and all of us have ensure of. So, the right thing to see, we're all in what we do. I'll also say just before I did all of this, if you do have any questions at any time, I think we have like 90 minutes or something. So, I'm afraid to build that feel-through to end up. I'm happy to take questions at any time but we can also take questions at the end. So, I'm going to go back to some basics here. What is the internet actually? The internet is about allowing me to share information with you and to you to share information with me. So, it's just it's data passing from one point on the network to another point. So, for that to happen, each of those points needs to have an address. We need to know where that data is going to. So, that could be a domain name, like example.com. It could be an email address to say I'm going to send this to that person. But at the fundamental level of the internet itself, machines, blockchain machines, it's numbers. So, you get a number which says where you are on the network. And there are two kinds of those numbers. So, here, they call internet protocol addresses and there's likely to be four addresses. And these are 32-bit numbers. So, that's, we have two, the power of 32 of those, which is about four million addresses. And that's what the internet was built on. When they designed the internet, they said, OK, we're going to use 32-bit addresses that will be taken, where all of this information goes. As I'll explain later, that whole plan kind of got superseded by the fact that we ran out of those four million addresses. And so, we now use, can use 128-bit addresses, which gives us many, many more. And that's called IPv6. Don't ask where IPv5 comes into it because it doesn't. So, what's the important thing about those addresses? Probably the most important thing is that they are unique. So, if I'm trying to send information sort of to you on the network, and you say, my number 24, my address is 24, I need to know that someone over here is not going to be saying, I'm address number 24 as well because then my information is just going to get split between the two and no one will get anything. So, the way that we've ensured that uniqueness on a global level is regional internet registries. And that's what Brighton CC does. It's one of five around the world. Those regional internet registries say, we'll give you, I speak, an internet service provider, a block of IP addresses, you use those and we won't give those to anyone else and we will tell the world in public database that you have these addresses. So that's really fundamental to making the internet work itself. The discussions and the decisions about how we actually make those applications, who gets an address, what they have to prove or what they have to pay to get those addresses, that's decided by communities. It's not decided by the Brighton CC. It's not decided by any of these other organizations like ICANN or the ITU. It's decided by an open community process that anyone can take part in and then comes to these decisions by consensus. That's also a really fundamental part of this process. So I mentioned there are five regional internet registries. This is them. Brighton CC, as you can see, we have a service region that covers Europe, Central Asia, focuses, Middle East, and then there's APM, which I started off with before, which covers all of the agencies today. Each of those have their own community, each of those have their own secretariat, the Brighton CC that carries out the wishes of those communities. And that's how that process works. So when we talk about Brighton CC, these are the primary things that we are. We're a secretariat to the Brighton community. First and foremost, we all do what our community tells us to do. And that means implementing the policies that they come up with. It means bringing them together for events like Brighton meetings. It means doing capacity building, educational sort of events, doing something like I'm doing here today. We serve the regional internet registry. That's our second place to ask. And that's certainly the one that people tend to be most interested in. You have the regional internet registry. Make sure you use that job right. It's fully funded by members. So we're not a government organization. We're not in that sense. We're a non-profit membership organization. People join us to become members. And that funds us. And we're open, transparent and mutual. Basically that means that our role has to be to carry out policy, implement policy, and do that in an impartial way. Whether you're an internet service provider in Russia, or in Saudi Arabia, or in the UK, you're going to get treated the same way you're going to have to work with the Brighton CC according to the policies that our community has made. Now that's not always easy. I'll get into more of that later about where that can start to get a bit complicated when you start to deal with national legislation, governments that are taking a much stronger interest in these kind of issues, and they're doing things that are not necessarily in coordination with each other. So this is going to fill to what we do as the registry. This is through the IP address that I've mentioned. We maintain the right database. So this is a public database of all of that information that we collect on who has IP addresses. We contribute to a stable innovative internet. We enable our members to operate and develop IP internet. We provide types that work. So those other two, apart from that sort of marketing speak, right-step, right-patterns and other tools and services is something I'll talk about a little bit later. But this is one of the areas where the expertise that we have is actually something that can be used by our members, by governments, by law enforcement, by any mind group. Once to look at how the network actually works, where is the traffic going? If you're an internet service provider in Armenia and you want to send a mail from your user to a user on another network in Armenia, is it going via Frankfurt, or is it going directly to your customer? Because at the end of the day, that's going to make a really big difference to how much it costs in the long run. And we've seen situations where we have operators, particularly in the Middle East, whose traffic is always going all the way back to Europe, costing them a huge amount of money, making the internet less accessible. So by providing that information, by helping our members to analyze and understand what's going on with their traffic management, we're actually helping to make the internet more accessible or affordable, more useful, I think. The next step I want to talk about is our membership. And this is where things get a little bit about our business, but also about some broader trends that we're seeing in the internet going forward. That's our membership. And if you look through the hand side there, or the right hand side here, it's going up pretty sharply. So that's good for us. We have lots more membership fees. It's nice that we can spend that money on things. But it actually has a really significant meaning for the internet itself, because the reason that it's going in that way is that we run out of that money. So I mentioned earlier that we have IPv4 address space, and we run out of those numbers. Basically, we used that all forward. The right community, in an example of making policy, said, okay, we're going to take one last slash eight block. That's a large block of these addresses. And we're going to say, okay, we're going to not give out as many addresses as you need. We're only going to give to every member a small amount. And that will allow people to continue to build networks. Ideally, they'll build IPv6 networks, but they'll still need a little bit of IPv4 to actually connect with internet itself. What is meant in practice is that as our reserves of IPv4 address space have gone down, many more people have said, okay, well, I need a little bit of IPv4 address space before it runs out. I need to get in there and get my small block and set up my own network. And so now, instead of just internet service providers, we have banks, we have enterprise organizations, we have small businesses coming in, setting up their own networks, getting that autonomy, which is great. But it's not a sustainable solution because we are going to run out. Probably in about two years, we're going to get to a point where we don't even have the small block to IPv4 address space to get out. And that's where the discussion about IPv6, and the fact that the industry hasn't really adopted it to the extent that we hoped, comes into play. Because if the internet is going to continue to grow, and if we have the internet of things producing millions and millions of new devices that need IP addresses, it will grow. Then people need to have access to those addresses. And IPv6 is the way to do that, or at least the easiest way to do that. Because the alternatives make the internet look a little different than it does today. So if we look here, this is just trying to look at a little sense of what how membership looks like in your army year and how this is. The numbers up the top there show where we're at. You can see that army year and Georgia are roughly on par for a lot of things. What's clear in this second graph here, the bar chart, here, is that this shows the age of the members. And you can see that Georgia, the orange ones, members that are much younger. So their industry, or at least their membership growth, is happening very strongly in the last couple of years that lots of new members coming on board. On the internet as we're done, not so much. It's sort of been much more stable, much more stable. That can mean a number of things. It could mean growth in the internet industry, or it could just mean that we have a lot more members trying to get there last week than IPv4, rather than going to upstream providers to connect to the internet. But if we look over here, then, at v6-rightness, this is a metric that the rightness you see itself has developed to say, what's an industry in a given country? How ready is it to apply IPv6? What have they actually done to get IPv6 onto their networks? And so, the white grey sections here, those are the operators in that country that have no IPv6. They don't have any IPv6 persons. They're not even thinking about it. Now, in this situation, that's pretty good. That's only in order of our members here. The rest actually has an IPv6, so that means that they're thinking about bringing IPv6 to what they can do with IPv6 on their network. Unfortunately, this orange, they're people who have IPv6 address allocation, but have done nothing else. We don't see it on the network. We don't see any activity going on with it. So, well, it's great that there's a big chunk of, I mean, in membership. It has IPv6. What we want to see is more people actually doing something with it, putting it onto their networks, starting to play with it, or possibly connect with it, this is sort of an example of what the world looks like in terms of IPv6 adoption. You can see on the end is not doing so well there. One zero one percent of IPv6 traffic is going over IPv6. Yeah, it's not great. There's no speech spinning that, really. If you compare that to Belgium, where we see IPv3 incentive track going over IPv6, or India, where 32%. What's going on there? Well, what we do know is that big providers can play a really big change in this situation. So, in India, one of their major mobile service providers turned out IPv6 to their customers, but you went from 5% to 35%. Belgium, again, a couple of big operators doing a lot of work there to bring it on. But the other interesting thing about Belgium is the work that's been going on between the public sector and the private sector. So you have the government working really closely with operators, private sector operators, to make sure that they all understand what's going on, to try and mitigate that sense of competition, because the competition between operators can be a real disincentive to IPv6 adoption, because it costs money, it costs resources to deploy IPv6, and you've got three competitors, two competitors all working at sort of minimal margins to spend each other, or to get customers the idea that you're going to invest more resources in IPv6. Probably doesn't seem like a great short-term strategy, even if in the long term it's the only strategy that's going to really ensure your place in the market. So what we're seeing is a little short-term thinking, and it's trying to shift the market to that long-term thing. But the flip side of all of this is that why you can get as much IPv6 space as you need for free, or at least for the membership fee for an IRR? And you can't get an IPv4 space for free as you need for an IRR. You can buy an IPv4 address space. So there are big operators, many of them in the U.S., or some of them in Western Europe, who have lots of IPv4 address space, maybe they're even moving to IPv6, and they can sell off that IPv4 address space. And that's a really fundamental change because now we're going from a situation where the internet can grow without any sort of consideration of it's going to cost money, obviously the infrastructure and the devices will cost money, but to actually get the number of sources you need, that's not a problem. That's not going to cost you money. IPv6 doesn't take off, and we stayed with IPv4. IPv6 has become a scarce resource, and that shifts the paradigm for the whole internet development, market development structure, because it becomes, okay, if you have the money, you can grow your network. If you don't have the money, you're probably not going to get to grow the network. And that's a problem. That's something that we need to look at in terms of development. It's something we need to look at in terms of how we connect the last few years. Because that's what the discussion was shifted from. In the last few years it was, how do we connect the next billion? And right now, according to the UN, it starts three and a half billion people around 50% of the planet are connected. So now the question is, how do we connect that last billion? How do we overcome barriers of probably geography, cultural differences to actually connect everyone on the planet to the internet? And this is coming along at a pretty unfortunate time for that, because we suddenly start to add in an element of we need to pay to actually grow that network. That's not going to help. So this is just a little overview of what's happening here in Armenia and surrounding countries. What you can see in the blue areas are transfers that happen within a country. And a lot of the time that's companies merging or one company buying another company. So that can have a lot of churn in the industry anyway. But we see that in Armenia in the last few years we've had more IPv4 addresses brought into the country than we have coming out. You guys are like, I'm significantly more coming in than going out. Whereas Georgia, nothing coming in, but some coming out. So it's an interesting way to look at it and part of what we want to do talking to you, talking to our members here is understand what the dynamics are driving at. Because every country is different, every country has a different approach to this. We see some countries that are massive exporters of IP addresses and they're not necessarily the big rich countries. We see others that are buying up a lot of IPv4 address space and they're not necessarily the rich ones but it depends on what their industry is prioritizing and what their plan is for the future. So this is where I start to get a little bit into right in the CC market and how afraid and what we can do with you and what we can help and what we're doing with people here in the army. We've had a member lunch there, we've worked with the army in school with each of our governments, which I know a few people in the room have been involved in. We do academic engagement like this one and the LAA workshop we had earlier this year. Again, working with law enforcement because that's a really significant stakeholder these days, whether we want to acknowledge that or not. Over the last few years we've done a number of things here in army year to build up the community. Starting in 2015, the regional meeting a larger eurasian regional meeting in 2016 and then taking some of the around us people in the room coming to the Middle East network operators who have been around earlier this year. And one of the things that we've spoken a lot about with people today a number of different meetings is the location of army year. Very much at that sort of crux of the sort of Russian region industry, the Middle East industry and the European industry. You have an opportunity to engage with really all of those different stakeholders and play a role as a bridging space for a lot of discussions and a lot of decision making there. That's also some training courses we've done. These are the main training courses we do with our members over the last few years. But it's focused on much more sort of technical, practical hands on training. And so if you remember remember organization, please let us know I think we're looking at doing some more training in army year next year. So we're certainly happy to share all that. But starting in the local community this is stepping a bit away from what we're doing as right-hand CC and looking at how some of these stronger local communities can really contribute to shaping the future of the internet. Network Operating Groups is a that I guess we've been really supportive of and seen do some really impressive things in a number of different countries. And this could be range from anything from like really official kind of conference setup to occasional drinks at a bar where you bring together different operators to a main list or a telegram list or whatever people want to use to communicate. But it's basically just an opportunity to allow the operators technical people in the community of the country to work together to get a little bit beyond the competition and to identify common problems, common solutions because that's really what the right community was built on. It was about saying yes for a competition yes this is a business this is a private sector operation but the internet works best when we all work together. It's not going to be in my customers any good if they can't contact someone on your network so we need to be able to have that bridge, have that interoperability there and something like a Network Operating Group is really fundamental part of that. And on a small scale is the same as what Prime is on that larger regional scale brings people together gives them an opportunity to share information and that could be technical information but it can also be legal information discussion of regulatory issues discussion of development issues all of this stuff plays into what the internet is, what the internet will look like in the future. We have lots of networks in the service region that's a matter with a few of them there are 25 we do currently have one in sort of a brilliant form in Armenia as I understand it but hopefully that will grow a little bit more in the coming two months and years so I'm happy to support that. If you're interested in doing more on that we do have a bunch of resources and I'm sure these slides will be available there are a few links here that have brought together some of the information that we've gathered over the years about what can make a successful node and all operators are trying to do to bring the community together. Tools and services, sorry that Marguerite continues here a little bit but this is also some I hope resources that would be really useful to those of you who are interested in getting more involved in shaping that future. We do webinars, I mentioned we're doing a lot of face courses here but that's not going to be for everyone and we do have a lot of webinars online that can actually provide more information whether it's about hands-on IP6 deployment, using the right hardware or something like Internet Governments or even the big headscater all over I think we've done that's something that if you're involved in I can you might be familiar with I won't go into more details otherwise. Energy Go is another extension of that and that's something that we do in a sort of single day a bunch of presentations going back over the course of eight hours but on a single topic so it's about this kind of like a conference without actually bringing everyone together in the same room in the same country and that's I think something that we've really realised in the last few years, the solution to where all of these problems can't be everyone gets on a plane and applies to London or if everyone gets on a plane and applies to Moscow, we need to use the Internet and actually do this capacity building in a way that you can access without spending all that money without spending all that time in trouble so yeah, this is one of the options that we're looking at expanding on with that and finally in this section Bright Academy is something similar but something that we're building on to actually certify people and so this would be more aimed at professionals and giving professional certification in things like IPv6 adoption or managing the right drive base and how I come with the right PCC I mentioned before that we do a lot of analysis and measurements and this is a section of the presentation it's often a bit longer when I have my technical audience here to discuss it but Bright Hatless and the ISP-100 Jedi which will be based on that Bright Hatless model is something that is really of great use and great value I think to the community but something that can be even more use and value with more people become involved the basic model is pros and we have probably some of them around here small USB pros that people can take and plug into their network using the right app you can then look at how traffic will travel from your pro to any one of the other 10,000 pros and you can say well my traffic is going from here to there to there to there maybe it would be better if it was going from here to there and so that means you can adjust your network, adjust your settings and say okay we're going to do this in a more efficient way that's helpful for network operators it gives them a chance to be more efficient about how they're using their energy, how they're doing their operations we also found recently that it's useful for law enforcement they can look at where traffic is going who is actually responsible for certain traffic and that can be useful in legal proceedings we see in governments they have an interest in what their national industry is doing and actually even something like the discussion around internet shutdowns which happened a lot last year there were shutdowns in Africa in parts of the Middle East if we have the pros, we can actually see where the traffic is being routed we can look at what's actually going on there so as you can imagine this becomes more effective with more pros we have if we had a probe of every network in the world we would be able to look at where traffic went or on the internet, we're not there yet I think we have 22 active pros currently in Armenia so if you have any interest I'll take you to talk to my colleague Baha and I'm sure we'll be able to get your probe plugged into an internet and that would be useful but this is what I mentioned before about using that to see where traffic goes so in this square here you can see the networks that we have right at this pros and so each of these squares shows traffic going from here to here or here to here and if they're green that means traffic is staying in the country it's not actually going outside if they're yellow or orange that means it is going outside and if you look here we can see what that actual traffic exchange model looks like so you have three major operas here and you can see them sharing traffic and exchanging traffic with each other so this can be useful and if you feel pretty easy if you want to go or go to the link there it will also be in the slides finally we also but we also hear my money I mentioned that we have a lot of membership growth part of what our executive board has decided to do with that is look at how we can find projects that are for the Internet and so this is looking at non-commercial activities things that can build our Internet connection in developing areas or at rural parts things that look at enhancing security or further developing other aspects of Internet infrastructure each year we have 250,000 euros and we're buying that up we're now currently about to announce our second round of annual recipients but in both of those we've had around six I think projects that we've been money to so the next round will open in March next year if you have any projects you're working on please feel free to share that information we'd be really interested to hear about new interesting innovative kinds of projects in non-commercial space that we could be helping out with some funding that's a few of the principles you can go through that as I say the main priority is that the all the good of the Internet, non-commercial and something of use to the whole community or at least a significant station of community so, Internet Governance this is probably the area of right-wing CC that I've been most developed in in my time and it's something that has really developed in the last 10, 15 years in 2003 2005 there was something called the World Summit and the Information Society that kept off and what it really marked was the moment when Governance all around the world particularly in the UN context looked at the Internet and said hang on, we need to be the one involved here on the Operative Community private sector saw this and said well, hang on we're doing just fine without you we probably don't need Governance looking over our shoulder here and neither of those decisions was ever going to win out so the solution devised in that world some of the Information Society was an approach that they all multistakeholder approach and it was about bringing together all different sides in that discussion to processes that would actually allow people to make decisions this is not my graphic but it shows how complex some of those structures can be you see the region mentioned internet registries are somewhere here that's us but you also have the Internet Society you also have the W3C which manages the World Wide Web Protocol Network Operative Groups the IGF Internet Governance or the Internet Engineering Task Force ICANN which probably very much manages the DNS of the main network system so all of these are associations as we call them that actually have responsibility for the architecture of the Internet fundamental mechanism of how the Internet works so those ICANN organizations and the people that they work with need to also work with Governance the regulators and they need to work with the academics and the technologists who are actually coming up with new ideas they need to work with the private sector Google, Facebook Amazon for small operators the small ISP is just doing a routine service for the business and more and more recently they have to also work with Civil Society and this is where she's like privacy, really coming to the fore Civil Society is working both with Governance and with operators and coming into these sort of forums like the Internet Governance Forum and having a really loud voice and so that's something that's changed the discussion considerably the right PCC and the right community decision is based, in these discussions is based on some I guess fundamental principles most of which probably self-explanatory that I'll go through in any way the Internet operates across national borders that's fair, the value of the Internet is in being able to connect with people elsewhere in the world what that means is that a national regulatory model really doesn't fit very well to Internet regulation and a lot of the discussions and the debates and the controversy around Internet Governance has sprung from that has sprung from one country saying this is going to be a regulation for the Internet in my country which leads to the second point here which is that actions can have correlation consequences because the Internet operates across borders when country A says this is going to be a regulation I'm going to do this yes it may affect their citizens yes they might achieve what they want there but it might also affect the citizens in the country they saw or the country on the other side of the world and at that point we start to run into issues of sovereignty governments not wanting other governments making the rules for them and in terms of Internet Governance we see this in the technical realm so we see countries logging in certain traffic and that means that traffic can't go through and it has to go around but we also see it in other legal instruments and the GDPR discussion in the EU right now which is the general directive on privacy regulation yes is a really good example of that because one of the primary industries affected by it is that when the EU says you can't collect private information or we'll find you that's affecting Internet search providers or register operators on the other side of the planet who have customers in Europe and so you certainly see this law that's made for EU countries is affecting many many many businesses and individuals on the other side of the planet which raises a lot of people's bias or unhappiness so as a positive message and it is a positive message a bottom up approach to policymaking is often the best fit for internet governance and this is a approach that really draws on the model the IETF was based on the model that the RAO can be used based on it's to say these discussions aren't going to happen behind closed doors they're going to happen in an open forum anyone who has an interest in joining if you're a government, if you're a law enforcement if you're an operator you can all come to the discussion and contribute and we're going to reach decisions according to your consensus so it's not a vote, it's not someone everyone puts up their hands and the most votes have the right answer it's we're going to look at your issues or your problems with this policy proposal we're going to make sure all of those are addressed or addressed in some way or another and then if we can do that we move forward but in all of this and there are the best of the might here there are many more examples nowadays of broader multi-state and one example is the IMF Transitional Charter where the US government in the last days of the Obama administration decided that it would give up it's oversight of the Internet Assignments Authority which is sort of the top of the hierarchy when it comes to IP addresses and this is a pretty unanticipated thing a government sort of stepping back and saying we're just going to give away this an hour but the process that they set in place to do that was multi-stakeholder brought in governments from all over the world they brought in technologists operators and basically forced them to sit together and come up with a proposal to say this is what we're going to do with IANA if you give up IANA this is what the new model will look like and that succeeded in the very down the days of the Obama administration I think we finally passed the US Congress in like October of 2016 but so that's one example the other really fundamental principle here is that the existing government structures and right because one of those need to be recognized in all this they need to be recognized both for the authority they have which is to say we don't have other bodies coming in and trying to take over that authority but also for the limitations they have that RIME is not going to be dealing with issues of continental line that's not something that's relevant to us there are other avenues and other spaces where they can be discussed but to try and put all this into something like RIVE or something like ICANN doesn't make sense and doesn't work in terms of multi-stakeholder approach so a lot of when you talk about what the international telecommunication is doing a big part of the discussion there is saying on technical private data so like RIVE is saying we're already doing this there is a process of making regulation or policy in IP address management and so when you have governments in the ITU sort of saying we're more comfortable in the ITU there needs to be that pushback to say it's due with any what there is a space for doing this and you need to adapt to what that space looks like so I'm coming to the end of my realisation here and this is where I tell you all to get involved I always say join us at our next private meeting, it's in Amsterdam but it's next week so let's then say join us at our next private meeting which is in May next year in regular 20th to 24th of May the Eurasian Network Operator meeting happens in June next year in Tbilisi so it's a little closer the important thing to note here is that we do have a number of options for finding to help you get involved here we have RIVE fellowships and so this is a sort of open fellowship you can apply say why you think it would be useful for you to be able to get involved in those discussions and that would cover travel expenses and we have RACI which is our academic corporation initiative and that's more for people who are students or researchers or academic institutions and if you have a project that you would like to talk about you would like to present to the community and you get feedback from the operational community and provide travel funding accommodation to get you there and that's for writing meetings but also for ENOGs, Eurasian Network Operating Group MEDOG and Tbilisi one and this is a few I mean we've already taken up fellowship opportunities with RIVE and RIVE MCC and that's how CEO acts he's not a fellow also not the best fellow here but that's great that's it from me at this point we do have plenty of time to fill so I want to sort of throw to what you guys if you have any questions or any comments I think you've promised the future of the internet I probably haven't gone exactly into the future of the internet here in the way that you were expecting and I'm happy to sort of take discussion or questions about what you see as the challenges for the future of the internet and competing IoT or AI or SkyNet or Terminators or whatever it is because I think at the end of the day all of that still kind of comes under this topic of how are we actually going to manage that as a society how are we going to manage that as a community so thank you very much for listening thank you thank you, I will just add a few things about the opportunities I think I I let it in earlier it's like if you participate yeah I don't know what to say so tonight the opportunities are for that fellowship no this one okay we'll we'll get間 we're going to leave I don't understand about the poor you don't forget an IoT or financial machine for how long industry head. Shut up. We're researching. We're searching. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Now to go to the laboratory. Yes, sir. Yes, sir, ma'am. Technical background and how it should be. Yes, the other one and the other one. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Now to go to the laboratory. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Oh, of course, you know. and the foreign owners to say they should be able to do so. With this, I would like to understand and understand the general data protection regulations of the last decade or so. It shows how long it's been going on for, you know? OK, you should be able to do so. You should be able to do so. Do you think, OK, you should be able to do so? I'm not sure if you think I'm going to be able to do so, but it is going to be able to do so. It is going to be able to do so, but it is going to be able to do so. And it is going to be able to do so, because we cannot do so. We cannot do so, because we are not trying to give them a good chance. We have the ability to do so. I think it is really important to do so, to do so, because the internet is a part of it. But it is very important for us to do so. These are the things that we have to do. I'm going to look at the video, but I'm going to talk about it later. What are the deadlines? What are the deadlines? The deadline is in the end. Most of the time, the deadline is as community projects are found in the month. So, I can't have a judge's as me at the top, but hence for support, can you remind me Chris, when is the next deadline for community projects? It will be... By February? Yes, I don't know. It will open around March next year. It will close around June next year. June? Yes. We launch early in the year. We close halfway. The selection committee takes a couple of months to make that. We launch early in June next year. In July of 1979. So we launch in July of 1978 in Reykjavik. Yes, it will be launched early in June next year. And the new starting community projects are under the big market that the community projects are developed. And the new start-up is the new start-up. People have not yet started. Is it in the 4th year? Are they ready? Yes, they haven't started yet. We have already started in October and the new start-up is in January. Then, up until May, 4 months will have come. It will be completely closed. I translate the tricky part so go ahead. Thank you. I think that you can call it a game. I'm not the only IQ, since it's no problem. I'm just trying to make it better. Yes, I'm not the best in case. You can call it a game. That is one, it's a game. Yes, let's call it a game. You can call it a game. You can call it a game. You can call it a game. It's a game. I guess I can call it a game in this case. You just want it to go in a way that it's no deal, no dribbling game? That's a great question. Yeah, but J crossover is coming. Go ahead. with blockchain and using big data. So it's about the internet and general equation, governing political processes using blockchain and big data. I think it's an interesting possibility. I think that blockchain itself is a technology that still probably needs a lot more research and development and that's going into it. I think there are things like Bitcoin that are probably driving that in certain directions. Other organizations like the ITU are certainly looking into this now or more closely and taking interest. That means governments are certainly taking interest because it's not something that's just happening on the fringe of the sort of technical community now. It's actually something that governments and policymakers are paying close attention to. That said, I think it's probably a long way from actually being implemented in a sort of successful way. But I mean, possibly things like voting fraud or tampering or voting integrity might further sort of drive that new government so we may see something like that development future. I mean, I think we sort of see already some national governments, Stony is the one that's always held up as an example who are really working with that e-government model and who have already implemented a lot of activity doing that. But we also see that that opens them up to certain risks because cybersecurity is not something that is a perfect size or it's something that you can absolutely protect against. So if you're known to be the country that is putting all of your voter and consumer and data into the system and doing it all using the internet, you open yourself up as a target for hackers and other cyber security threats. So I think there's a balance that needs to be struck there. Looking forward to the future of the internet. You know, in Armenia we established, yes, the establishment of the web and the community's established quantum lab and do you have a looking forward that maybe quantum networks will be the future of the internet and how will you research in this field? So this is, that's a good point in terms of it's actually something that we've already had discussed a little at the right meeting in a couple of right meetings, but it was someone who came in through our academic operation initiative. There's at least one university in the Netherlands that's doing a lot of work with quantum computing, which was leading back in the day. I think there's a lot of work going on elsewhere to stay now in here in Armenia. And it's certainly something that the networking community is paying attention to. And I know that the developments in China are about sort of claiming that it's quite far advanced, but I don't think we've seen the operated community really doing anything to prepare for that yet. I think it's a topic for research. It's absolutely a topic for research of the kind of research that we really would like to see come into the right community because it's at that phase of the research where getting feedback from operators, getting feedback from people who actually use this in the business context is vital. They need to sort of say, no, that's crazy down the scale or yes, that's something we could use for this or for this or for this. In fact, our university for the moment some topics for the PhD projects, joint PhD projects within the participation of the Masters students from different fields and it will be one of our proposals for the upcoming six months. Wonderful. Well, I would certainly suggest that they look at the recent program and whether they yeah, they're certainly the government that's in that community. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. and mobile enforcement. We have been working with the production team for a long time. We have been working with NLTNLTEX and data analysis team, visualization team. We have been working with the management team and we have been working with the management team for a very long time. We have been working with the management team for a very short time when we were in VCS. full time technical analysis team. We have been working with the management team for several seats and a big investment in digital technology. from Russian Army University and they are going to make the information session in their University of in that government. So, we'll support you. Yeah. I don't wish to have to make the name of them, but I'm fine with it. I don't think I'm fine with what you're talking about. They can check you. That's it.

UCQfzgoCt72pQNpkvnHjNvog	Climate change is front and center.	Learn from three experts about the effects it's having, and how communities can prepare. Our three esteemed climate experts are Becky Bolinger, Twila Moon and Shannon Van Zandt, who are also authors at The Conversation. The event is a part of a series of free webinars from The Conversation; however, donations are welcome. https://donate.theconversation.com/us	null	2022-02-24T19:56:53	2024-02-05T07:40:47	3,729	VZrAENmklLk	Hi everyone. Thank you so much for attending Climate Change Front and Center today. Beth Daly, the editor and general manager of the conversation. I'm so thrilled you'll be joining us for an amazing panel. Before I start introducing everyone. Some of you might be new to the conversation so I want to let you know a little bit about us. We're a global online media organization. Our content is written by academics and edited by our fabulous team of subject specific editors. All our content that we produce in a collaboration goes out on the Associated Press Wire, Yahoo News, MSN, and to over 700 news outlets every single day. We're read about 23 million times a month now. And everything from the Washington Post to CNN to tiny papers that no longer have expert journalistic staff on staff anymore, like adding statesmen to the kids have some where our source of credible information. So before we start I wanted to just take one minute to remind you that this webinar is being recorded. It's available afterwards. We do ask you to type your questions into the Q&A. Please don't raise your hand. The chat is disabled, just to keep the conversation flowing. So let's get started. I just like to introduce Becky Bollinger is assistant state climatologist at Colorado State, I'm sorry Colorado Climate Center Colorado State University Department of Atmospheric Science. I always kind of say that the wrong way her research focuses on climate variability climate extremes and drought. She's written for the conversation on the new normal seen in temperature data. She's a deputy lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice data center part of the University of Colorado boulders. Cooperative Institute for Research and Environmental Sciences. She specializes in the connections among ice climate ocean and ecosystem and in particular the Greenland ice sheet in the Arctic, although she knows an awful lot about Antarctica as well. She's a research and high impact journals, such as Science and Nature, and she has been tested and she's testified before the US Congress and is a lead author for the annual no Arctic report card, which I have read and reported on in my past life as a climate reporter for Boston Globe, Shannon Van Zand is a professor and executive associate dean in the College of Architecture at Texas A&M University. She has an intersection of affordable housing disaster impacts resilience and recovery with particular interest in how residential land use partners exacerbates or mitigate exposure to natural hazards, specifically flooding. She's an author of the 2002 book. Engage Research for Community Resilience to Climate Change. I'm thrilled to have such a fabulous team of female scientists here and researchers to talk about this incredibly important subjects that's facing us all. And at this juncture, I'm going to turn this over to Jenny. Weeks our senior environment editor. And Jenny, if you wouldn't mind just give a few a quick file of yourself instead of me doing it and then we'll let you start. Thank you, Beth. So I'm Jenny weeks I have been at the conversation for six years. I work with our other environment energy editor Stacy Morford who is here, lurking behind the scenes. And together, we look for scholars who are doing interesting work on climate reach out to them for articles that will help people understand what's going on. And we are so excited to have this great panel today to talk with. I have been a freelance journalist and further in the past worked in government and academia so you know, many sectors have parts to play in trying to make progress on this issue and a lot of pieces have to work together it's very complicated and it's really great when we can have scholars like this help us kind of figure out what's going on. Let me just say a little bit about why we're doing this webinar right now. Many of you probably know about the intergovernmental panel on climate change which is often referred to as the IPCC. It's an enormous coordinating body of scientists all around the world who are experts on many many different aspects of climate change. There's out giant reports called assessment reports about every three or four years that really sort of roll together what those scientists see as the best analysis of what is going on with the climate the idea is to inform government so governments can take action on what's happening. When they release one of these assessment reports it comes out in several parts. The first part of the current assessment which I believe is the fifth assessment came out last fall it was about the science of climate change so temperatures are being recorded where what is happening with sea level trends what are greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere doing. Next week, Part two comes out which is on impacts and adaptation so it's on the impact what are these temperature and greenhouse gas trends doing to Earth's physical systems, and how can we adapt to them. This is a two part topic we have for today. For our speakers to talk about, and later this spring Part three which is on mitigation which is the climate speak word for reducing greenhouse gases and slowing climate change comes out so there will be a whole new chunk of coverage next week and then another wave in another month or so on what experts think is happening and what we can do about it so you know it's great to have some experts to help us sort of sift through a lot of this. So first speakers bios so let me just start off. I want to ask all three of you a two part question so we can just sort of probably go around in the order that Beth introduced you. So, since we're doing impacts and adaptation. Why don't we start by each of you talking about what are some of the most significant impacts of climate change that you are seeing in the region or sector that you focus on in your research. So, thank you for having me on. It's an honor to be here. I am really excited about this report coming out because it really brings in the human component right when you're talking about science. Sometimes it's hard to connect it, but this one's really going to connect to what people are currently experiencing. And this isn't something that's out in the future. This is something that's happening now and we are experiencing impacts right now from a changing climate, particularly when we're talking in the United States. We know that we have already experienced an increased frequency in in our hottest temperatures in our hot extremes. We know that in some areas, particularly where I live in Colorado and in the western part of the country, we are experiencing more frequent drought and more severe droughts. And we are experiencing increases in wildfire numbers and acreage. And these are the things that bring climate change to a really personal level and it's not just something abstract. So these are definitely things that that are happening now. And those are the things that that will be covered in that next report. Great. Thanks, Twyla. Tell us about the Arctic and how what happens in the Arctic does not stay in the Arctic. Yeah, you hit that nail on the head. So the Arctic is is one of those places where we really clearly see many of the components of what we call the cryosphere, which is all of Earth's frozen elements. So we have glaciers, the Greenland ice sheet, we have frozen ground also called permafrost and we also have ice that forms on the top of the ocean sea ice and the Arctic is actually warming more rapidly than the rest of the planet. And because it's so full of these different frozen components, all of those are really sensitive to small changes in temperature. I mean, just a fraction of a degree is as one of my colleagues say the difference between ice skating and swimming. So what we're seeing are changes in all of these different components and all of them have these fingers that connect down to us in the low and mid latitudes. I often think of looking at the earth from space where you can't see any of the country boundaries and you can kind of see swirls of clouds that seem to transfer and move all across the earth's surface. And that's how I think of these changes in the Arctic really moving their fingers down. So as we're losing land ice from the Greenland ice sheet and from glaciers, we're adding volume to the ocean and experiencing coastal erosion, sea level rise, salty ocean water getting into freshwater resources like drinking water, a lot of these coastal infrastructure challenges. So as we see reductions in sea ice, we're changing how bright the surface of the Arctic Ocean is and a dark, dark ocean surface is better at taking up sunlight. And so that introduces more heat to the ocean, which adds to how our climate is warming. And permafrost also has one of these kind of vicious amplifying cycles where as we're thawing permafrost in the ground, that allows different microbes and things in the ground to become active and actually release more carbon dioxide and methane, some of these powerful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and further enhance the warming that we experience very far away. So despite it being a place that most people may not visit or think of often these Arctic changes and Antarctic changes really do reach down to where we are far away. Got it. Thanks. Shannon freezing and thawing is not, I think, you know, first on the mind on people's minds on the Gulf Coast, but tell us what's going on there. Certainly. Yeah, I think, you know, based on what Becky and Twila have said, we're experienced in our communities we're experiencing a much greater frequency of sea level rise and urban flooding, you know, from the sea level rise and from our more frequent and more severe weather events. Many of you will remember Hurricane Harvey, which struck the Texas Gulf Coast in 2017 as an unprecedented rain event that dropped up to 50 inches of rain on the city of Houston in just about 36 hours. It was nothing we ever anticipated, but I think one thing that we're learning in our communities is that disasters are no longer kind of acute one off events, they are very often ongoing and chronic in many, in many ways when Hurricane Harvey struck Houston, I just to kind of see how things were going I checked on their disaster declarations, and I saw that at the time of Hurricane Harvey hitting Houston, Houston had three additional disaster declarations currently in place, going back to the 2008 Hurricane Ike, which was also a very severe event that affected the Texas coast, but also including two other major floods that had happened since that time and so that was a real kind of eye opener that at least for our more vulnerable areas, being in a state of disaster is is not a rare event, it's to be expected and frankly it has to be planned for and that is a form of adaptation to the future disasters. Got it thanks so you know that segues right into what I wanted to ask a little bit about next which is so adaptation can mean a lot of different things. Let's just go around again and so talk a little bit about you know in the regions you look at and think about and you know where you're where you're teaching and researching. What are some of the, what you would say most urgent things people need to do to adapt to what's changing, and you know if there's, if there's been enough time that people have really sort of keyed into it, how's it going. So I think the most important thing you need to do is to be aware and you know listening to things like this and knowing these reports that are coming out is that first step of understanding what your risks are. So, you need to be aware of the climate that you live in. What are your risks, what hazards are most likely to occur, and then what is your vulnerability to them. So, for example, if we would be incredibly vulnerable to a hurricane, because we don't we don't build things with a hurricane in mind but the risk is very low so it's not something we plan for. So you kind of need to take into account what your risks are, and what your vulnerabilities are, and then you take that information and hopefully can address that vulnerability and reduce that vulnerability. So that when the hazard occurs, hopefully you're less likely to have a high impact disaster, because you're prepared for it. And a lot of communities are doing this, a lot of state governments are doing this for example Colorado we have a, a state drought mitigation plan. And we use that regularly when we know that we are going into a severe drought, so that hopefully we don't have the high level of impact we would have if we didn't prepare for it at all and I think that that is one of the most important things to do on a state and local level. Let me just, if I can stick with you for a minute because Boulder had that such that dramatic wildfire back right I guess it was right after Christmas, where it was like running right through the suburbs there so why don't you just maybe sort of talk a little about sort of take take that fire and talk about adaptation and like what does it mean in that context you know to bring it into a specific example. So, for Colorado specifically our environment is so rapidly changing we are seeing wildfire behaviors that we didn't see 10 years ago or 20 years ago, and the Marshall fire is a really good example of that, that there are risks and vulnerabilities that we didn't even know were, were possible. And now there are so many front range communities, not just around Boulder area, but to the north and to the south where we line up right on the foothills, where we have that similar risk and so that is something that now we have that information that that is a risk that can occur. That is something that is already in place to start addressing to reduce the impact and so hopefully we wouldn't have something to that magnitude, but wildfire is so particular, as it changes, you know, sometimes it can catch us off guard because we don't exactly know what, what the range of possibilities are that can happen. And then when it does happen, we do know and so in the past, I would say five years, particularly even in the past two years, we've seen fire behavior really quickly evolve and so that is something that we're going to look at further into how to plan for that because there is a changing climate component in that. I mean I would say just in the past five or six years that the stories we do about wildfire now are almost year round, which reflects that wildfires happen more and more there's a season is just kind of becoming one big loop and a lot of places so. And what's happened, it's almost like for me specifically in Colorado, it's like what's happening in California, I can expect that to be a risk for Colorado in the future so how does California respond. And so that's something that that we can take and say, you know, 10 years from now what California is experiencing, you know, we need to expect that to happen in Colorado, and, and go from there and make those decisions. Yeah, while I guess you can't really look for another model in the Arctic for adapting to warming because it's so extreme but talk a little bit about what you know communities up there are having to deal with. And I might mention both what communities in the Arctic are dealing with but also all these Arctic changes that come down to us so for the, you know, many thousands of people who live in the Arctic. They are experiencing fundamentally different landscapes and seasons. We some of the problems we are just talking about wildfire there have been incredibly extreme wildfire events over recent summers in the Arctic. We've detected wildfire carbon all the way up to the top of the Greenland ice sheet and to the North Pole, but all many of the folks in the Arctic are also dealing with the challenges of sea level rise. We see already Alaskan communities that have needed to entirely move because of coastal erosion. And when we see fine of permafrost or frozen ground that can cause roads to buckle. So there's no signs, no longer stay stable buildings can collapse so there's a lot of big changes for infrastructure. There's also these changes that are influencing for example food security and food access in the Arctic. And you see seasons changing and animals are responding to that or perhaps animals are moving in different places at different times. And the loss of sea ice also is really changing where a lot of marine animals exist what they're able to do in their life cycles, and removing sea ice from the Arctic coast also make them more vulnerable to sea level rise and a lot of waves from storm which can make Arctic coasts erode more quickly. But these changes that are happening in in the Arctic are really reaching down to areas far away and sea level rises just such a good example of this, and we sometimes forget all of the different implications of sea level rise so it's not just maybe that things are go, you know, the ocean is rising but it's really going to influence big storm events so that you're going to get kind of instances of flooding in places that have never experienced flooding. What I was mentioning earlier as far as ocean water being able to be present in places that wasn't before and interrupting freshwater, we can really cause problems with sewage and water systems in our coast. And I found it very interesting to reflect on how we have really modern day built our infrastructure, assuming very stable coastlines and boundaries, and that sometimes makes it difficult for us to start to contemplate how to adapt to things. So for example with sea level rise, people begin to think about what retreat might look like, but if you're a local politician and you're planning for, for example, for your local county, people moving out of your county might cause problems with your tax base and economic issues there's many interrelated problems that we may have to in our adaptation, not just think of our buildings and our roads, but also think about our policies and how we actually kind of keep our economies going in different ways and come together to help our neighbors. This is when you look at the kind of scenarios of the future and the scenarios that get us to a future that sees the kind of least harm, all of those scenarios really depend on cooperation. And I think it's valuable to think of that as cooperation, not just at international government to government levels but also the cooperation that we have locally and regionally because being able to depend on each other and cooperate together for sharing resources or building more resilient infrastructure, those are all really, really key. Absolutely yeah and Shannon that I think segues right into your focus on resilience right. It really does I'm listening to Becky and twyla speak you probably saw me nodding a lot and I also was scribbling down a lot of notes because the things that they're bringing up are exactly the kinds of things that we want the need communities to do I'm a, I'm trained as a city planner so I'm very interested in predicting the future that's what planners do is to look into the future and try to figure out how change can change, you know, is the trajectory that we're on the trajectory that we want to be on and I think it's critical especially as the climate is changing so quickly that we do look forward to say well what is going to happen in five years or 10 years or 30 years, and recognizing that things are happening so much faster now than they used to. One of the things with mitigation and adaptation is just the language that we use to talk about it the climate scientists use the term adaptation to talk about a lot of the things that planners would characterize as mitigation, things like climate migration or land use planning for example that we do as part of our way of minimizing the potential damage from a hazard event. We're using people in the floodplain, for example, which a lot of people tell me, well we don't build in the floodplain, but we absolutely do build in the floodplain particularly in states like Texas that that are relatively low lying and have fairly little fairly few tools. And we're not like Colorado in the sense of our control over land Colorado has a ton more control over their land than Texas does. And that is one of those policy issues that that twilight addresses is that we need to give communities the tools that they need to protect themselves. And right now very a lot of our coastal communities, especially along the Gulf Coast, don't have those tools available, or if they do they're not using them as aggressively as they probably should be. I also wanted to talk about something that Becky brought up which is this idea of risk and vulnerability and vulnerability is a particular interest to me and I think what Becky referred to was a lot about physical vulnerability are our buildings built to withstand certain types of disasters, but the other type of vulnerability that I want to bring up and that I feel really strongly about is social vulnerability. So when we are differentiating social and physical vulnerability, we're really looking in social vulnerability at the characteristics households that make them less or better able to anticipate respond to react to and recover from disasters. And those are those are characteristics like gender household composition race ethnicity income education level disability, things like that. And some of those are very, are very highly correlated with space, the spatial distribution, race and ethnicity and income in particular have a very strong determining determining power, in terms of people's exposure to disasters that I like to say, low income people live in low quality homes in low line areas, and that captures those dimensions of risk and vulnerability that Becky was referring to where the low line areas refers to the risk. How exposed are you to a certain type of disaster. I'm usually thinking about flooding but it holds for fire and drought and a lot of other things as well. Low quality homes refers to that kind of physical vulnerability. Are we building to codes and codes and dimensions that help buildings withstand the different kinds of disasters. Along the Gulf Coast, it's often related to elevation, and it may be related to things like hurricane straps or impact resistant windows, but in other parts of the country it may be related, you know, to earthquake engineering types of issues or you know, combustible materials as how much of the exterior of your home can be made out of combustible material versus non combustible. So that refers to the kind of physical vulnerability and then the social of course are these household characteristics that are not spatially independent. And they, we put people in harm's way and I think particularly as we see rapid growth along the coast. I mean Texas is a very rapidly growing state and a lot of that growth is along the Gulf Coast, despite the fact that it is at great risk of both hurricanes and urban flooding. As we grow into those areas, we really need to be, we're doing two things. Number one, replacing more people in harm's way. Number two, we're reducing the ability of the environment to actually provide environmental services. So when Twila mentions Arctic communities that are having to relocate, we're also seeing entire communities along the Louisiana Gulf Coast having to relocate because of the erosion of the Mississippi Delta and sea level rise we're also seeing changes in the agricultural crops that we can grow in certain places because of saltwater incursion and a lot of those lands actually absorb the water as it falls. Houston is a really good example of this. A lot of the development in Houston is West of Houston towards San Antonio, which when I was a girl growing up in this part of the country was rice fields. And it was, you know, filled with water, it was like a sponge. And now those areas are new suburban developments that are paved over with impervious surfaces. And so not only are they increasing the runoff, but they're decreasing the ability of the land to do its job. And combined with our land economy, you know, how the land, how people are able to settle on the land, we're placing those most socially vulnerable in those places that are most physically vulnerable and high risk for those families. And so I think assessing the social vulnerability along with the physical vulnerability like Becky mentioned is really important, knowing who is in your community, and what kinds of assistance they're going to need. And I like to think about it as, you know, you can, you can reduce social vulnerability in a couple of ways. You can either move people away from the risk, which is, is not, is that can be a fairly efficient way to do it through land use planning, and helping the land to higher areas and to, you know, not, not increase their exposure. But we also can be reducing their social vulnerability through anti poverty programs, or through federal assistance through making sure, and this has been a big issue in Texas, making sure that the federal money that does come into the state is going to those areas that need it most. And again, the political economy of local and state government often means that that money flows to the same people that it's always flow to those people who are politically connected, those areas that have always gotten the attention of local government and state government, and, and not to the people who really need it and that so that exacerbates the impacts of a disaster, and reduces the resilience of a community over time. I have a lot more to say but I'm going to stop there. Great, thank you. I do have one clarification question from a listener who wanted you to just explain a little bit more about why Texas has less control over land use than Colorado does they wanted to know is that to do with whether it's federally controlled land or is it zoning laws or what what it what accounts for that difference. Both of those are true. Colorado has a lot more federally controlled land than Texas does. And in Texas, the county has no land use controls. And so we can only control land use within cities that have adopted zoning. And of course, many people know that Houston is the largest city in the country that does not have zoning. I will say it does have other ways of regulating its land use, although I would probably argue that zoning would be more effective. But outside well and another thing and another tidbit about Houston is that Houston is the fourth largest city in the country, but about half of that population is located outside the city of Houston in Harris County. So Harris County has about 500,000 people that are in the county not in the city. They are not able to control the land use controls. They are not able, the county itself is not able to control the land uses. There are a lot of municipal utility districts that do allow those communities to control some of their land. But in general, you know, Texas is a what we would call a low reg state, it's a state that prides itself on not having regulations that attributes its business friendly economy to having a low level of regulations where other states have a different approach and have a high level of regulations and you know that's what keeps us inexpensive and it's what keeps us attractive to businesses. But it also tends to limit the ability of local communities to protect their residents. Thanks for that. Twila here's a question for you we have a listener who would like to have you explain the sea ice feedback loop in a little more detail and describe whether that's something that people not in the Arctic but worried about climate change should be concerned about. Great question and this kind of vicious amplifying loop that we have with sea ice is something that all of us need to be concerned about and here's why. I'm imagining again that globe from space and the whole Arctic is an ocean and usually and in the past that ocean is mostly covered with frozen seawater or sea ice and that sea ice is going to get snow falling on it in winter. Imagine looking out your window to see a fresh pile of new snow it's bright white and you've got to put your sunglasses on right, but then if you think of those satellite pictures of the earth from space, and you look think about what those oceans look like they look as black and that difference between this really bright sea ice surface and the dark ocean surface is just the same difference as wearing a white T shirt or a black T shirt outside during the day. So that bright sea ice that we used to have much more of in the Arctic helped to reflect solar radiation and heat back out to space so it helped cool our earth system. What's happening now is that we're losing that sea ice we're exposing this dark ocean that dark ocean is much better at taking up solar radiation and so that ocean starts to heat, and that makes it harder for sea ice to then form in fall, and the ocean will hold on to the heat and release that heat in winter and then fall. And so we get more heat entering our earth system, and that heat doesn't stay in the Arctic, it gets involved in how the atmosphere is moving how the ocean is moving and it moves around the planet. And because that ocean water is getting warm it's harder and harder to produce more of this sea ice. And so that's this vicious amplifying loop and unfortunately we are in a place where we expect all of the really except for the very most kind of aspirational scenarios of reducing future polluting gases and greenhouse gases on that for the pathways we're on right now or that we see under current international commitments, we do expect to be losing all of that sea ice during occasional summers, starting around the mid 2030s. So this is something that's well underway now and we are going to see this issue stick around at least for several decades and depending on what humans do it will continue to get worse as we head on towards the end of our century. Got it thanks for that. A question for Becky, one degree, I'm assuming of warming might not sound like much so can you talk about how one degree of warming could have such a big impact on the environment and also what would two degrees of warming mean since there's quite a good chance we may end up with two degrees of warming. And when we say that we're always talking about compared to pre industrial times, especially for the US West. So I sometimes have a problem when we talk about just one number for the entire globe for a very long time period because it loses all meaning when you say, you know one degree of global warming in the next 30 years. So if you think of it, that one degree is not just changing the average temperature at a location, it's changing the entire distribution of what we experience at a location. So for example, in the West, if you, you know, you typically experience a climate where here's your average and then you have colder and warmer on either side that's our normal bell distribution where you can get colder temperatures and you can get warmer temperatures. Well when you change the average that's not the only thing that's changing you're changing that entire distribution, and that can change in a variety of different ways, not just warming the average, but you could be warming where that that warmer extremes is is going to happen more frequently so what only happened once every 100 years can now happen once every 20 years, and then what never happened before could now happen once every 100 years. On the website, you are still getting cold extremes. And if you increase the variability with climate change, it's possible that you're still going to have the same number of cold extremes that you had before. So, there's a whole bunch of different things that can happen it was very location specific. In addition, the precipitation could also be changing. And so, these are things that when you just take that one degree of warming. You're, you're changing the variability and the distribution of all these different factors. And so one of the things, particularly in the West that we've seen is that one degree warming is shifting our entire distribution of temperatures. So even if you don't change the precipitation, we are now seeing that droughts are becoming more temperature driven droughts and that is because, even though the air is warmer and can hold more water vapor. It's not and so that air is becoming drier. So think of you, you have a tube of water and this is the temperature this is how much water it can hold. And if it's not temperature it means it can hold more water, but if it's not now there's less the ratio of water is less than what it could have been that air is drier, and that is exacerbating our drought conditions so even that tiny bit of warming and not changing the distribution at all. Now you have a more serious drought situation and that's just one example of how a little bit of warming can make a big difference in terms of extremes and and what can happen. Do you have anything about two degrees. You know one degree. Yeah, it's going to be the same thing basically what I see is that how different things are now from where they were 20 years ago, you know 20 years ago, our droughts were not necessarily as temperature driven as they are now. And I would say that it's just going to be a little bit different than what we're experiencing now so that is how you know I would see the difference in adding another degree of warming basically on on the warming that we've already experienced and the changes we've already experienced that what is normal for us now is is going to change again. And so basically the droughts that we experience now are going to be not as severe when we look back on them 30 years from now 20 years from now, and that's how I see that one degree versus two degree change. Okay, thanks. We have a listener who would like to know from Shannon, they say I'm in a conservative rural town just getting going on serious I hope attempts to reduce emissions. We are getting trees planted any thoughts as to next steps for elected officials and staff and I think, you know, they're even even granting what you said about you know a lot of counties in Texas not having some powers and stuff, what kind of things at the local level can communities do. Yeah I think that's a great start I would I would recommend engaging the community leaders and developing a plan, a climate change plan. It may be part of their comprehensive plan if they have one. And if they don't have a comprehensive plan, they ought to consider that that that possibility. It's a way of assessing what the future will hold, and also developing consensus around actions that the community can take. So planting would be one of the actions that might come out of such a plan, but going through the planning process will identify a lot of other actions that the community can take, both to mitigate and, as well as adapt because I think we're at a point now where we're not going to mitigate all the effects we're experiencing the effects now so it's no longer an option to to halt climate change we have to limit it and adapt to it. And so that adaptation can be explored through a comprehensive plan, particularly, you know, developing a good fact basis for that plan is really important. And that would involve assessing your risk and your vulnerability like Becky described and I kind of elaborated on a little bit, you've got to know who's in your community. You've got to know how they're going to grow and how they expect to grow in the future or decline in the future as a lot of rural towns are experiencing population loss. But also what it's what it's land use can handle in terms of activities and where development should occur or should not occur. If development is occurring and and if it's not then the attraction of economic development to the community. If it's in a very high risk area, then looking at how the community can move over time, and that may be moving within the area or in some cases it may be moving away from the area, as we've seen with some of the Arctic communities, and with some of the communities in those communities. Certainly we hope that doesn't happen. And we do want to be aware of the social and cultural issues related to the, the community's history and the community's present population, but talk to the community and make it an issue in community elections in anything that any opportunity that you have to to have people think about it and talk about it and understand what the consequences may be for for your community. The more you're going to be able to get them involved in a planning process that can help you address those changes going forward. Great thanks. Question for Twyla. Can you please share your most unexpected Arctic experience. I'm guessing that's quite a list. Yes, I would have to say I love when I have the opportunity to visit and travel there and one of the things that come to mind I'm tempted to tell a story of meeting with local hunters there but I actually want to point out something that was very early in my career when I was in graduate school, and we were just starting to get good and repeat satellite imagery and satellite data from the ice sheet, and we were interested in these lakes that form on the outer margins of the Greenland ice sheet in the summer. And we went there, we set up our camp next to this lake that was you know more than a mile wide more than 40 feet deep we got in our little blow up boat and we'd boat around on this lake we were hoping it would drain while we were there so we could watch it drain and see where all that water went it went over the surface of the ice sheet or under the bottom. So we had to drain while we were there we were really disappointed. We couldn't see satellite images very often and we had to wait for the next summer to go back and we got back. And we checked the instruments and it turned out this entire lake had drained in less than an hour and a half out so flows out of this lake down into an underneath the ice sheet that more than the discharge of Niagara Falls. And one of these instances where this thing was happening so much more rapidly and dramatically than we expected. And I think it's a little bit of a good metaphor for how science has been learning about changes in polar places because it was before we had satellite data which is true even in really the mid 90s. There, it was very hard to look at, you know Antarctica is a whole continent Greenland ice sheet covers the world's largest island. We weren't taking, we weren't considering that these ice sheets could change very rapidly and that they needed to be part of this kind of, you know, couple decades conversation about climate change but then as we started to get the data from satellite, we realized that actually these environments were changing very rapidly and so that's why I know for myself many other people who are my age or earlier I didn't really have climate change classes in my K through 12 education. You know this didn't this was a non issue I wasn't hearing about it. And I think that's common for people to kind of say wait why do I need to pay attention. This is like this brand new thing and I think it's one of those things where we continue to realize how many changes are happening and changes are in many cases happening more rapidly than we expected them to, and in places and with the complexity that we didn't expect and so in that way it is something where we sort of all need to catch up and get on forward with both the adaptation part because there are things that we've already done to the earth system it's baked in sea level rise is coming. It's here and it's going to continue. And the mitigation part where we do still have an opening right now where human action can have a significant influence on this climate future and the question that Becky was addressing earlier about the kind of, you know, small degree differences. Unfortunately, for the earth system, a tenth of a degree degree is not a small change we have humans over the last 10,000 years you know built up all of our society in a climate that's barely changed kind of tenths of degrees and we're now shooting this temperature up and it definitely for different frozen parts of our earth system. We can reach thresholds and they are likely to appear between that one and a half degree and two degree global warming that suddenly put into place more of these amplifying loops and would really kind of send the earth system on a trajectory of change that human action would no longer be able to influence and dampen. So that's really a large part of my concern is that we take action while our human actions are still really going to have a big and important impact on the future. Thank you that was great and I want to just circle back to what you said about you know, getting satellite data while you were in grad school and not having had that before and because I know that these all these issues can be really overwhelming, especially when the impacts are getting so intense and so visible, but I want to just remind people listening that you know before World War Two, we didn't have satellites. We didn't have high speed computing, we didn't have radar and those are the three technological developments that made modern weather forecasting possible. So you know, before then, I mean we had like balloons that went up and stuff but it was very crude and you know compared to what we have now and I mean if you think back to things like the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, their way of trying to know if a blizzard was coming was to go look out the Northwest window. So, you know, I think that one sort of hopeful part of this whole discussion is the way that scientific understanding and you know the tools we have and the capacity we have to use them and to think about what's happening are advancing really fast. Fast enough, I don't know but but there are a lot of really smart people out there, you know, thinking about these things in many, many complicated ways that I think find that really heartening. Becky we have a question from a listener who is worried about water in the West and wants to know why the Colorado Colorado River seems to have less and less water and if there is any way to stop the loss. Yeah, the Colorado River is such a complicated beast of an issue that people are still grappling with, and it is definitely something that is going to have to come up with some new solutions over what we've done. So, we know that the West is drier. And since the 1920s there was a compact for the Colorado River and how that water was going to be divvied up between the states that have some little piece of that water and it was going to be this even distribution of water between the upper basin states like Colorado Wyoming in Utah versus the lower basin states like California, Nevada and Arizona. The problem was was those decisions were made over a climate that doesn't exist anymore. And so we try to continue to operate the Colorado River based on a climate that is no longer in existence and that is making the situation worse, particularly because the delivery of water to the lower basin states is expected to be what it always was when the upper basin is where that water starts. So our water starts as this mountain snowpack. And we do still have mountain snowpack, but because of climate change, we have increased frequency and severity of droughts that is impacting how much snowpack there is and how much that sends down the river. And we also know with those warmer temperatures, we're seeing an increase in evaporative losses from the whole system. And so what that means is that the amount of water that that starts this whole system is not as much as it was. And so the way that we need to plan around that is we need to stop thinking of the pie as being this large, and that this side gets this amount and this side gets this amount. We don't have the pie that large anymore and we can live with what we have, but we need, we need the people who make the decisions on the Colorado River to realize that the pie is now this big, and the decisions that we make are based on a pie that is this big. And I've said it before that Lake Powell and Lake Mead are the largest reservoirs for the Colorado River that, you know, the Lake Powell is for those upper basin states are basically our savings account, and Lake Mead is that water for the lower basin states and where they are now they reached, you know, their, their highest levels in the 90s. And since 2000 2002 drought, they've lowered, and each drought takes them down much further and wet period gives a little bit of recovery, but not a full recovery so it's almost that we're one step forward, two steps back, one step forward, two steps back. And at this point, any plan that we have, we are not going to be able to get those reservoirs back to where they were, and any, any idea that we can I think is going to, you know, basically set us up for failure. So I do know that there are lots of lots of people working on this and, you know, it's, it's not going to be solved overnight, but it is something that they are well aware of and I think that there is a solution as long as we plan the Colorado River system, based on the climate that we are in now, and the climate that we will be in in 20 years not the climate that we were in. And for listeners who are interested in this we've done a number of stories in the past year or two about the Colorado River drought climate change and why the states that all draw water from it need to renegotiate realistic shares so if you search on our website just search Colorado River and those stories will come up. This could be for anybody more likely twilight or Becky I'm thinking, much of the discussion here has been about issues associated with human impacts. Does anyone want to comment on the types and magnitude and importance of impacts on non human populations that we're seeing happen now and realize that you know wildlife is not really anybody's focus here but you know feel free if you want to say something about that. One quick thing I will say is that I think that the next assessment that comes out from working group to is going to be a really wonderful assessment that is going to detail these human impacts but there will also be wildlife impacts as well. And I think that is something that hopefully we, we can address in our planning in our local communities. Well, I don't know a lot of the risk. I do know that particularly when we talk about the Colorado River or warming in the West that water quality. Definitely becomes an issue for wildlife within the rivers because those warmer temperatures have been going into the rivers and that's detrimental for for the fish like there. And drought has obviously had a significant impact on the availability of food and water, not just for wildlife, but for livestock. And so that is something that I think there's particularly for livestock there's there's a lot of management planning, best management practices for mitigating the impacts of that during drought that that there's a lot of conversations going on there but I would definitely look to how this working to our working group to report will go into the rivers, and it won't just be on the human impacts they will also talk about ecosystem impacts to our forests, and our vegetation, and they'll also go into some of those animal wildlife components and, and hopefully they'll have some solutions that they talk about there as well. Got it. Twila comments on non human impacts in the Arctic. Yes, widespread. I would point people as they wait for this next working group to report they might look back to the working group to report from the previous IPCC assessment. And that has some really nice figures that talk about increased risk for different ecosystem and different animal types because, of course it makes a big difference if you are an animal that is able to more easily move around perhaps you live in a place that has some higher elevations that you might move to to preserve a temperature range that you as an animal work well in, or you might be better at migrating and be able to move to higher latitudes. So vegetation, similarly as some vegetation is better at taking hold in new places, other vegetation, not as much. And all of these, we can't really pull apart, you know, humans and plants and animals, we're all connected and so those things are connected into, you know, what we depend on as far as food agriculture wise or farming wise animals on the ranching side of things, what people are able to to grow and depend on in different places and there's no question that there's a difference across this system. Some of them, we're seeing very severely already for example coral reef ecosystems, which have really high risks already versus some which may be a little less vulnerable so this is again an area where specific location region is really important to what is happening to individual species and and also the other species they depend on what's happening to their food sources, what's happening in the different predator prey populations. I also wanted to add that that you know what twilight brought up that the the vegetation system ecosystem and the wildlife system. If they can move in a changing climate they will and that could be good for them but that could add additional impacts that we also need to prepare for like for example, we know that pine bark beetles have have moved based on a changing climate and that's had major implications for our forests in the Rocky Mountains, and you know that changes the ecosystem there and makes it both more vulnerable to things like wildfires so these animals that are adapting to the changing climate are also changing the climate where they go, and it's going to be the same thing with vegetation you know you've got invasive species of animals and and vegetation that. If they can move they will that's going to have even new implications for where they move to, not just where they last. Right, exactly yeah. We are close to the end of our time and I want to sneak in a question. I've used my my my host position here which is, you know, all three of you spend at least large chunks of your time on campuses and I would really like to know how you see college students today who are going to live in this climate altered world reacting to climate change what are they interested in what do they care about what are they asking you about back you want to go first. I will say that I do feel that because there's a lot of depression, I think that goes around with it the whole doom and gloom and you know we talk about a lot of things that are happening in it. And you know this horrible thing is happening this horrible thing is happening these more horrible things are going to happen, and it can be overwhelming and and depressing. And so I think that there's a big mental health component that has come out not just with climate change but with a lot of topics that are becoming increasingly addressed with which is great. But I also think that we're moving away from the prove to me that the climate is going to change our college generation, they know they know the climate is changing, they're basically accepting that they want the solutions and so I think coming out with assessment and so that discuss, you know, adaptation and mitigation and the solutions are what they're looking for because that takes that was the control back in their hands and it's not just. I'm going to be depressed about these things that are happening to me it's going to be. What can I do about that. Thanks yeah we have just about a minute left here but Shannon and twilight how about you. I'll say on my campus which is a is one of the more conservative campuses in the country that I would agree with Becky that the students are very much aware of climate change they accept that it is reality. There, they are, they are experiencing mental health issues and also the mother of an 17 year old and a 20 year old so I see this in my own children, but they're also, they're active, they're becoming more active which to me is gives me a hope, because I think they recognize that it, unfortunately is in their hands if the climate is going to, if we're going to make any positive impacts on the change and if we're going to adapt to it successfully. And so I see a lot more activism a lot more interested interest in equity and justice issues related to the climate change which, to me is is is very affirming. And I really agree, I think that there's just a great awareness with young people today and a real desire for action to happen and actually also, I think a real push for the people in power now to take action, because that really we can't wait until today's 20 some things are the people leading our governments and our businesses so I think they're putting pressure on and all the ways that they can think and I think that this is really helping them to stay resilient because I know I often say you have the way to not get stuck in the climate blues is to take action is to talk with other people about it is to find ways to connect with your community, your school, other people in finding ways to become resilient to make yourselves in your community more resilient and and work both on the adaptation and mitigation side and I think young people are those those who are most resilient are finding that really to be true and and finding that this collaboration and work together is a big part of staying a mentally healthy and also doing our best job to minimize the harmful impacts of the future. Super thank you all for that. Yeah, and I just want to jump in that fairly the editor general manager the conversation again what a fabulous hour I mean I wish we had another hour, and I apologize that we could not get to all audience questions but we will look at them and perhaps there's stories in there that we could, we could do. Twyla Becky Shannon Jenny. Thank you. It's been an illuminating hour. And thank you to the audience for such thoughtful questions and being with us today. So we're going to be signing off now.

I thought I would share with you a couple of my favorites. Now I don't have a whole lot of favorites. I don't usually do a whole lot of shopping calls and things of that nature. So the first thing I want to share with you is a CBD oil. And I have to give total credit for this to Marlene Fab and Glam. I don't think I would have ever have gotten a CBD oil for my face if I did not watch her video. And then if I did not talk to her about the results that her daughters were having with it. And that really got me excited about it. I did a little bit more research. I watched a video from Dr. Dray. I know many of you follow her. So I'll link that video if you want to see it below, as well as Marlene's video. But anyways, I ended up buying and this is the age-defying facial serum. And this is by Flora and Bast. I ended up buying this at Sephora. It's not inexpensive. I would also recommend that you keep this stored in a dark place because it does have a clear glass, just as a preventative. What I've been doing since I've been using this is after I wash both morning and night before I do anything else, I put this on. I only take about maybe four drops on the palm of my hand and then I put it all over my face, including around my eyes, my nose, all over. And then anything left over goes down my neck and onto my hands. I do this twice a day. So what I can tell you over the short period of time is that I would repurchase this, even though it's only been a week and a half. I would repurchase this or in other CBD oil with this type of ingredients and concentrate without a whole bunch of other fillers, a whole bunch of other things. I would definitely repurchase this no matter the price. And that impressed with it. Let me just tell you that since I've been using it, you all know I'm a Retin-A user. I suffer from flakes. I do. I have my skin turns over. I have a lot of flakes. Usually I'll do my Retin-A for sometimes five nights consistently and I give myself a break. And usually in that phase I am peeling somewhat slightly, no matter what. I exfoliate. I might do all sorts of different things to try to control it. I'm usually, especially at the end of the day, right here. I'm like Flake City. And then I go off my Retin-A, then I go back on my Retin-A. When I go off my Retin-A, you should give myself a break, you know, maybe two nights a week. Then I go back on and I have really good skin for two days because the Retin-A takes a couple of days to kick in. Since I've been using this, my flaking has probably gone to from, you know, 80% of flakes to maybe 5%. It's almost completely gone. I put this on. I have not, since I've been using this, added anything else but serums. I haven't done any other kind of moisturizer. I haven't done anything else yet. So I use my normal serums at night with this and in the morning with this. But I will tell you, at four o'clock in the afternoon, my skin is not flaking. It's really, really in good condition. I also noticed that I had a pimple as it, and it was a pretty big one. And this in two days. I mean, it never got bad. I could feel it brewing. You know how you can feel it brewing? Oh, it sounds wacky, but you can. And it never got bad. So I am loving this stuff. Thank you so much, Marlene, Fab, and Glamford turning me on to that. The other thing, and I've mentioned this because I have raved in the past about living proof. And this is the perfect tier days. I absolutely love this stuff. I have raved about this. I've used this at weddings. My hair has stayed in place. I have a lot of texture, a lot of body. I love this. Well, along came Mara, who said Monica, and I'll link her information before, she said, Monica, you got to try this helium fiber flex. Now, I talked about this in a previous video. I'm pretty sure it's already been up. This is a multifunction fix, define, and lift. This so far has blown away any other fiber type of a spray or body building type of a spray that I've used and I've used many, including my living proof. It's just knocked it right off the shelf. So this continues to be a favorite of mine. I will reorder. I did buy this with my own money and I will reorder it. Unfortunately, you can only get it on the website. I'll link the information, but I love it. The other thing that's kind of turned into a favorite this month, even though this is another thing I've only used two weeks and I think I've mentioned this in a previous video. This is the Sally Hansen air brush legs. This is leg makeup. When I talked about it in my previous video, people were saying, oh yeah, I know about that. I use that. Well, who knew? I didn't know. I had no clue this existed until I watched. It was Jackie Blue Beauty, her anyways, on Instagram. She was talking about it and I was like, oh, that sounds interesting. And then I watched her video on YouTube and she talked about it again. I said, I gotta go get it. So I went and I got it. I love this stuff. This, this stuff. Now I have it in beige glow, all different colors. You shake it and what you do, and I'm just going to put a little bit, you put it in your hands and on your clean legs and you go down your legs. And you just, you can apply it a couple of times. What it does, it doesn't give you like an artificial tan, but it gives you the appearance that your legs are all smooth. It's almost like you wear a pretty pair of pantyhose. It's like amazing. Your veins, your nubbies, they'll fade. They won't go away. They'll fade in the sense of being covered with this. And it lasts. So I was able to, I took, I put it on. I've been able to, when I take a shower, two showers and not, you know, just have the water running down. So from my body and all that stuff. And it was perfectly fine. Now on the third day when I went to shave my legs, then I could see I needed to apply some more. But I absolutely love this. So this is definitely a favorite of mine. And if you haven't tried it, it is really cool. Let me show you on my hand. Now again, I have the, it is very runny. I don't know if you can see it. And I'm just going to put it on my hands. You probably can't tell anything. And you could put it if you had like veins on your legs or you just want it to have a more smoother look. So I just basically have leg makeup on my hands. And then you just wash your hands and, you know, it'll come off. They say that once you spray this on, don't do anything. Don't put any, any clothes on over it. Don't go to bed. Let it dry for about 10, 15 minutes. And then after that, you're totally fine. Once it dries and absorbs in, you're fine. And the next day you can just add some more to the palm of your hands if you want, do a retouch. You can wear a cendress like I have on. Well, if you want to call this a cendress, but it is a very casual, flowy dress. You don't have to worry about having pantyhose, which I think is really super, super cool. The, the other things that I very, really talk about and love, and I will link this below. I often get you guys asking me about what do I have for little glitter spots on my eyes. My preference is the Color FX Amethyst. I love this. I'm going to put this on my hand. I love this. And I usually just put a tiny bit on my middle of my lid and sometimes I smudge it in. The other favorites I have, and this is the same thing, but you can see this is the Rimmel. This is the Scandalize and this is in Prohibition Pink. I put that on my hand. Whoops, I just lost my, I just lost the, the point. The Rimmel is very, very, very soft. And then the third one that I have is the NYX. And this is the, the Strawberry Milk. So I just want you to see. I very, really talk about these. I don't even know if you can see them. But basically over here is the Cover FX and Amethyst. And then in the middle is my Rimmel Scandalize in Prohibition Pink. The very, is the last one. And that one is just really, it's just really pretty. And that's usually just gives me a pop of glow in the middle. I love using my, and I've used this for a long time. I've got a link for this. Julie Smith here on YouTube is an Avon rep. And I buy my Avon through her. So when I link my Avon products in my description, you're actually going to Julie's Avon's shop and you'd be buying it under her, which I think is awesome. I love supporting other content creators. Anyways, I found my blush. This is, I think, Mad About Mauve. And this is the blush that I have talked about many times as a favorite, as a blush that I've used and used and used over and over again. I absolutely love it. I also found my lip liner that I've talked about. And this is the lip liner in Perfect Plum. And I'm going to put this on my hands too. So if you press dark, which I just did, I don't know if you can see it. If you press dark, it gives you a dark line. If you press lighter, it just gives you a lighter line to see the difference. Maybe many times I overline my lips. I don't know. But that is my preference. I've tried many lip liners. I've tried many blushes. And I know there's some really nice high-end blushes. There are beautiful blushes. There are women that have like 90 blushes in their makeup collection. And I just keep going back to my Avon. This is my try and true. I keep going back to my Avon. I keep going back to my Avon lip liner. I just recently bought a whole bunch of Maybelline lip liners. I don't like them. So I just keep going back. You know, I always say that I'm not a brush fanatic. I use the same brushes over and over again. I will tell you that. I have two that are Shayna B. I think Shayna B Miami that was sent to me. I also have some awesome Sigma brushes. I love the face brush. I have quite a few of them. I have the eye shading brush from Sigma. And this is the one I use the most. This is the Small Tapered Blending E45. Small Tapered Blending E45. This one I really love for most of my crease work. And then I have a Real Techniques. This is the last thing I just go over and buff. So, you know, when I went away, these are the brushes I packed. I also packed with me, because I really like this, is my Sigma Brush Cleaner. Now, the Sigma Brush Cleaner, the Sigma brushes were sent to me from Sigma in a PR package quite a while ago, as was this really cute little suction cup brush cleanser. You put it in your sink and all that. That was all sent to me from PR. But I will tell you, I really like them a lot. And I think they're great products. So, those are my brushes of choice. Lastly, is my hair. If you watch me on Instagram, you would have already seen this probably. But this has definitely turned into a favorite of mine. I absolutely love this. This is actually a called a Trendy Do. And this is from Hair Do. This is a hair wrap. I bought this through Wigs.com. They will have a huge sale. And I saw these two wraps. The color I have on is in Butter Toast. I bought two of them. That's how much I really like them. So, I wore them to work and I got a lot of compliments. Jay loves it. I'm going to just turn around really quick, so you can kind of see. What it is, it's a wrap that goes around you here on the top. And it has these longer pieces of hair, which I think is awesome. I think it's really awesome. So, I bought two of these. I absolutely love them. You know, in the summertime, I like nothing better than to put my own hair up. I think it's really great. And I just really like it a lot. I also bought myself a new wig. I'll show you the clip of the new wig. I'm not ready to wear it, but this was on a super, super sale. I really got a good price on this. And it's just that it's a straight look. So, I will probably wear that in a future video. I have started for my own hair, the Cara Health. And this is Cara Health France, clinically studied ingredients. It's a dietary supplement designed to reduce hair loss, stimulate hair growth, enhance hair brightness. It has all sorts of antioxidants and amino acids. This is for women. You take two capsules a day. I take them with a meal, usually in the morning. It does say that if you're pregnant or nursing a baby, you need to or taking prescription consult a doctor. But anyways, this was sent to me from the company. They reached out to me and said, would you like to test this? And I make no bones about the fact that my hair is thinning and I'm really trying to do whatever I can to enhance my hair. I said sure, but I was on the fence a little bit. But Tara from Beauty in the Bargain had been using this. She had talked really highly about this. And I think a few other people, I think it might have been Kristen321 also talked about it. So I'll link her video below and Tara's video. But what Tara did is that after she'd been using it for a while, she stopped taking it. She wanted to see if after 30 days things would change. And her results after 30 days, her hair went back to having a lot of fallout. So she's back on this because she really believes this stopped a majority, not all probably a majority of the fallout of her hair and made her hair a lot better. So I was like, okay, I mean, I trust Tara 100%. We went go back and forth in DM and she said, no, absolutely. So I'm trying this. Again, this was sent to me for my honest review. But I'm only into this started this on the 26th, I believe of June. So is it too soon to really notice anything? I'm starting to notice something, but I think it's too soon to really say what I'm noticing. However, this is what I'm doing. So I will come back and I will report back to you all about my results on this. But I'll tell you, I couldn't be more excited. I really couldn't be more excited. So anyways, again, my video was probably too long, but I wanted to share all of this with you guys. I hope you have an amazing, when is this going to go forward? No, it'll not go before. Maybe it will. But anyways, if you see this before the 4th of July holiday, I hope you have an amazing 4th of July. If you see this after the 4th of July holiday, I hope you had a fantastic 4th of July. Thank you all so much for being here with me. I appreciate every single one of you. Bye-bye, guys.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzoqlTs612I", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCvQQMY6TyUdt5VeHpuHv_Dg	Hey VAR: How Is Tech Changing Sport?	Technological innovations are altering every aspect of sport, from the monitoring of athletes’ performance to the design of the equipment they use to the broadcasting and streaming wizardry that allow us fans to watch. Indeed, when it comes to refereeing sport, technology increasingly offers the promise and peril of sidelining human officials from the equation altogether. What does the hybrid tech/human model of sports officiating (such as soccer’s VAR, “video-assisted referee”) say about the future of A.I. governance in our everyday lives? How are data-heavy performance-enhancing athletic technologies improving our games, and what promise do they offer for those of us who aren’t elite athletes? In advance of next month’s Men’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar, join Future Tense to explore how tech is driving sport innovation. Speakers: Kristin Collins Former Olympic High Performance Director, Beijing 2022 Former High Performance Advisor, United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee David Guston Foundation Professor, ASU School for the Future of Innovation in Society Christina Unkel, @ChristinaUnkel Analyst, CBS Sports VAR-certified Professional Referee Noah Rubin, @noahrubin33 Former Professional Tennis Player Wimbledon Junior Singles Champion Founder and CEO, Behind the Racket Moderator: Andrés Martinez, @andresDCmtz Editorial Director, Future Tense Professor, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, ASU ==================================== We are dedicated to renewing the promise of America by continuing the quest to realize our nation's highest ideals, honestly confronting the challenges caused by rapid technological and social change, and seizing the opportunities those changes create.

My name is Mia and I am the managing editor of Future Tense, and we are really excited for today's conversation, which is going to focus on how tech innovations from performance enhancing tools to video assisted refereeing are shaping sport, and also how those changes are seeping over into other areas of our lives. And I wanted to flag that this conversation is also part of a range of ASU wide sparkies cup activities. And so these are conversations and events that Arizona State University is organizing between now and the world cup and we hope that you will continue to participate in and more of those events as well you can find more information by Googling sparkies cup ASU. So for today's conversation we are so lucky to be joined by a team of star panelists. And to start we have with us Kristen Collins who's an expert in sport technology and innovation with a long career, applying new tech in the field of athlete performance. Kristen recently served as the Olympic High Performance Director for Beijing 2022, as well as a high performance advisor for the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee. And for us is Dave Gaston, a foundation professor and founding director of the ASU school for the future of innovation and society. He has served as the principal investigator and director of the Center for nanotechnology and society, and is widely published on research and development policy technology assessment public participation in science and technology, and the politics of science policy. We have with us Noah Rubin, a former professional tennis player whose impressive career includes a junior Wimbledon title. Noah is also the founder and CEO of behind the racket, which is a community that allows tennis players of all levels to share their mental health experiences on their own terms. Up next is Christina uncle of our certified pro referee and former former FIFA referee who has been officiating soccer for more than 20 years. She's a laws of the game analyst for CBS sports, and previously analyzed the 2019 World Cup for Fox Sports. She's also a litigation and sports law attorney. Finally, moderating today's conversation is Andres Martinez, the editorial director of future tense and a professor at ASU Walter Cronkite School of journalism and mass communication, relevant to this conversation and this is also working on a book on sport and globalization. I wanted to remind everyone once again that you can and should send your questions for all of our panelists. Throughout the conversation you should see a box to the right of the video that you're watching right now, and then we'll use our last few minutes to tackle those questions. So, Andres over to you. Thank you Mia. Thanks everybody for being here. Thank you for inviting I confess to my fellow panelists before we started that this was probably going to be the most fun I have this week. This is like a great opportunity when you invent a work excuse to talk to really interesting people about something you're very interested in. So that's great and I also did. I also wanted to go back to something Mia mentioned at Arizona State University which is one of the three partners in future tense. We are doing a whole series of activities on campus. From residential life experiences and creating fan zones and what having watch parties in our stadium to more substantive panels and the like, all around the World Cup and in the lead up to the cutter World Cup. And this is a commitment on the part of the University leadership to recognize the global significance of a World Cup and the fact that for once for a series of curious reasons and we're we're having men's World Cup that is not during the pandemic. And it's during our academic year and so we wanted to take full advantage of that and it's really fun to be one of many colleagues that are thinking about about that and it's an experience that's really appreciated by our international students and it's also one that's that's really appreciated by our American students who are kind of embracing the world of sport these days in ways that you know we used to be a little bit more domestic focused. So, this is really an exciting topic for future tense because oftentimes future tense examines how technology impact society, and there are few areas of society that engage broader cross sections of folks in sport. At times it's really interesting to see how issues that play out in society manifests themselves on the playing field and how fans react to them. We can probably talk about a lot of issues including non tech issues, where that has been the case, but in the issue of sport I think it's really interesting to see how much of the governance of our sports do we want to see an outsource to technology. And I feel like we're in this interesting transitional moment. We're seeing that in world soccer and I mentioned the World Cup peg because the cutter World Cup is going to introduce yet another layer of technology assisted learning on on the offside rules and we don't need to get too much detail on that now, but it's yet another step in the evolution, the integration of technology into the referring of a sport that might have been among the more resistant, I'd say to tech referring and some others it's interesting the cultural differences among sports that's one of the things that I want to talk about. But to set the scene for today's conversation I just want to harken back to my weekend, where I was watching arsenal leads, or I was, I thought I was sitting down to watch arsenal leads on a big arsenal fan in the English Premier League. The game started and not two minutes had gone by when they had to stop playing. And, you know, you're sitting across the ocean wondering what's going on. It turns out the there was a power outage that somehow affected the calm systems that the that the referees use for all of their video assisted refereeing the bar system. The goal line technology was affected. And it was this funny moment where, you know, if you were following social media and I'm sure lots of fans in the stands were thinking, we have we can see the ref. He's got his whistle. We've got the linesman with the with their flags, like, can we just play the game and referee the way we did for more than a century before we started having these fancy toys. So on the hold, the players had to go back into the locker room. It was a 40 minute break, you know, as a worldwide audience people just waiting, and then they sorted it out. And sure enough, the bar ended up having a huge impact on the on that very game awarded a penalty upon the review that the ref on the field initially had not given took another one away we send it a red card. And a lot of, you know, jokes after the game that well maybe it was a good thing that they had waited. I just thought that that that one match illustrated a lot of the tensions, and the sort of cross currents that we face, as we kind of negotiate this blending factor in governance and refereeing, and the tech aspect, and I want to kick this off by turning to, I can't think of a better person to, to hear from on these issues as a as an attorney, as a as a as a referee and as an analyst for CBS Sports Christina for joining us. I know it's not a very direct question I'm asking but I'm just asking you to sort of react to kind of, and maybe tell us a little bit about where you feel we are in this moment. In terms of this hybrid referring blend of like the technology and the human factor and then we can flesh that out but I just wondering for your, you know, would love your initial reaction to that question. Definitely thank you for having me. I think you hit it on the head and I love being in this environment not that I don't like being in other environments where we can have a little bit more philosophical, you know, kind of really digging into things that are a little bit beyond what we just see on the field. You hit it I think really good on the head when we say, you know, sports and society and where that integration is and how they kind of blend into each other for me, having been part of the first implementation of the AR in a game which was major league soccer in 2017. Premier League nobody else wanted to implement it so, although we claim it's our claim to fame that we were the first league to implement it the reality is nobody else wanted to try they wanted them less to have the growing pains with it and arguably I would say we are actually one of the biggest leagues in the world with the implementation of the AR and funny fact because we don't use those lines that track the second last defender so you do not have offside by the toenails so it's been a more for me and interesting learning the system in the process from an standpoint of to your point for at that point about 25 years and about 20 years I'd been officiating on the field, using skills experience, not having a second look knowing at Portland that that monitors monsters and there's 45,000 fans who are reviewing me and I'm the only person who can't look at the monitor, and I'm the only person who can change the decision. I can't look at it but mind you don't get wrong we always have secret signals to the system referee that wasn't on camera to be like hey look at that board real quick. Let me know. But now we take a look and now that we have implemented technology is something that funny enough not even the officials were asking for and so when you're having that question of, where is this balance and where is this fight the people that are complaining the most or the people that were complaining the most that we didn't have it right. I'm a romantic at heart when it comes to sports specifically football soccer got you or whatever you want to call it right. And I'm a romantic a heart meaning in sport that's that's the pleasure of it right there's highs and there's lows and there's overcoming, you know the hardship right so if I go to the novel romances and that's what I see sport. Yeah, yet now everyone wanted it because it's a billion doll multi billion dollar industry from jobs to the players themselves at least in football it's astronomical outside the United States. How much more of a moneymaker that is in some of our top professional leagues here in the United States between basketball and baseball and American football. Is this intersection of where it was clamor for claim they want us to be 100% as referees, which we all know scientifically is impossible to be 100% as officials, but that's the request is for perfection. Now they're implementing technology they have slowly as your kind of point the first one was the beepers on our arms, allowed us for off sides and communication with the system referees, then turn into the headsets, then turn into goal line technology, then turn into VR which now there's a second subset which is VR light sounds like Bud Light like it's less calories and it truly is it's less people. And that's for other groups that can't afford a full onset of a million dollar, you know, multi million dollar system. And now as you kind of briefly mentioned it hits on semi automated offside technology which here we can all dork about because I have never used the word in sport limb tracking technology where they're actually tracking every single body part of all 22 players on the field at all times with, I think it's 25 cameras right now in Champions League and then I think World Cup it's going to be about 35 cameras so that they know where every single person is, so they can be an instant, just for offside decisions to determine whether there's a goal or potential penalty. It's very astronomical kind of where we've gotten so I'm with you. You have a tracker to right as part of that system. Correct. So that's another interesting company right because it keeps getting deeper and deeper Champions League there is no tracker in the ball. And in World Cup there is a tracker in the ball and so Champions League this fall is the first league first any league to use semi automated offside technology in it. And the only real difference is knowing the velocity of when the ball was hit, which will allow us to know when the first point of contact was from the defender who last played the ball to the individual in an offside position. So honestly I would argue that maybe it's not going to be that detrimental or worth that much money but hey who am I. But it's just really really funny how, you know, seeing it from a perspective as an official, as to your point, sitting there watching the leads arsenal game and me being a leads fan you being an arsenal fan and we're just kind of laughing I mean the VR recommendations went either way so we're all equally hurt by that is that the officials were there and for the longest time before we made those decisions on the field. And truly what technology has proven, although not many people look at it from this perspective is that technology at the highest level reinforces how many decisions referees get correct. Right, everyone's always looked at the most controversial decision here's what in how did we mess this up blah blah blah, but no one's looking at all the decisions that are being made without the use of technology and or the weeks they check completes meaning supporting the decision on the field. That's kind of another interesting component of it at that level when you have that quick of an instant a split of a second to make a decision, using experience knowledge and skill that you've had for over 20 years that you've had to make a lot of errors to get to that point. Right, it's been a very interesting hybrid and cross and if I could have a dollar for every time someone told me in this football world, especially with covering champions like the game is gone, because we now have VR and VR is ruining it I'm like with all due respect you guys are always talking about controversial decisions anyways handling is never going to go away. So it for me it's very fascinating how we've clamored for it now we don't want it. Then we want it when it happens when there's a hand of God play right that the referee will never be able to see because of a perspective and an angle. And I think it needs to be an acceptance from the players the coaches spectators that there's always room for error, regardless of whether it's a referee whether it's the players whether it's, it's never going to be completely eradicated and until we get to that point. There's always going to be debate whether technology is over influencing the game. It is funny how we demand perfection from refereeing but would never expect it from a player. But let me quickly ask you on the, because when it comes to the the unease that I sense in this transition. I should have also mentioned, and the arsenal leads game was a was a good example of this although you can you can see it every weekend where when a call on the field needs to be reviewed. And I suppose somebody whispers in the refs here, they, there's this very performative act of the official on the field going to the sideline monitor. You know doing the symbol, I now do this in my regular life to whenever whenever I want to. And they go to the sideline monitor. Clearly that's somebody you know the Court of Appeals, the bar saying, we think you got this wrong. And I've, I've never seen, I'm not sorry. I'm not saying it has not happened. I have never seen, and I do watch way more Premier League soccer than I should admit to. I've never seen the ref going to the monitor and then saying, you know what, I'm going to stick to my guns I was right like it fans now are conditioned to know that that means going to be reversed and yet we still have this. Often three or four minute performance of going like we're not comfortable enough. We the whoever the collective is of having that Court of Appeals in the year in the bar room, just overturning like we still want to defer to the judgment of the official on the field. And why, why is that and do we still need to do that or wouldn't it just be a lot more efficient for somebody to say hey, we understand you didn't see this but you got it wrong trust us and let's and just reverse the call automatically. Why haven't we gotten to that point. Yeah, you hit that because major league baseball does that right so they the ums go over the head set on and they're like hey don't look at me I'm going to get the decision here after right. But there was one of the principles in creating the VR policy ifab which is the international football advisory board which is the one that actually creates the laws FIFA is the application of it. And so in the instruction on the officiating side, they were very, very deliberate on this in the principles specifically stating that we, the core centerpieces, the center referee, similar to system referees just giving input will always have the final decision on this for transparency sake. Right the biggest, the biggest threat to sports is any type of match fixing, right. Anyway, we can stay away from the appearance of even if it's not happening but the appearance of match fixing saying oh so and so is in their ear because they want, you know, enter to win right or you know you vent this to win or you know legaries there or you know, you know, Barcelona's president is the one talking into them because he keeps trying to jump into the locker room right, like, anyway we can get away from the appearance of in proprietary or that somebody else that may not be the VAR and have those jokes that can attack the credibility of the officials on the centerpiece from the foundational side, as well as from those decisions that are being made. That is, like I said very more, you know, philosophical maybe jurisprudence wise, but it was taking a look at why we send the officials for the very great issues right the ones that are in the, you know, and they actually, you know, in the opinion of the referee that was actually room from the laws which I used to love that one because I was like well my opinions this that means that must be supported. Right, but they specifically move that away but they still want the center official like similar system referees as we always say only give us information, and from that information then we apply and they're huge piece of our team. VAR was that additional component they're just similar to sister referees, they give us that information and as we have still seen with the system. There are still some errors that are provided and have seen where recommendations aren't taken and being trust me in that VAR booth it's black it's dark it's before it used to be in some little shed outside the stadium now it's centralized here domestically in Atlanta, similar to what the NBA does, and you can lose the feel of the game. All right, you can maybe see a point of contact, you can say hey there's point of contact hey it was by studs, but what you might not be able to fully appreciate is this, even though you play the speed force on regular play is whether truly or not like in that context right that that football understanding the feeling anyone who's officiated any game understands that there's some calls that are just expected right. I would say in the football world it's the bicycle kick and you actually hit somebody in the head right we're never going to call that until you hit somebody in the head and I know that doesn't isn't normal but a bicycle kick is a glorious goal that we try not to take away because the football world wants those that happen. And when you're in that VAR booth and sometimes you're isolated, you have to always also remember before you make a recommendation. What does it feel like being on that field and having been in those things and being able to empathize and understand. And that's why not everyone is very good in the VR booth, but when it comes to numbers it comes to demand of referees it comes to demand of taking referees and putting them in the VR booth to provide recommendation who've officiated that level at least has a football understanding to appreciate that. That's where you know we still want that referee to go to the monitor for a controversial decision. Yep, to go ahead and provide that guidance. Thank you that that's really interesting and I'm glad that you, you touched on the NBA and you mentioned baseball because certainly, I think the conversation is a lot richer when when we do kind of make some of these comparisons and think about how different sports are handling this and know I want to turn to you because tennis seems, I mean, from the outside correct me if I'm wrong seems pretty advanced and having incorporated technology and, and I forget when we started having Hawkeye call a lot a lot of the shots. I love playing tennis. Half the time I don't know if the ball was in or out and I don't have Hawkeye in my community courts but tell us like your perspective as a tennis player of how you felt that integration went in tennis and where we're at and what what can we learn from the tennis case study. Yeah, tennis is an extremely interesting scenario because unlike soccer football or a lot of these other sports there's no contact you know it's fairly black and white with how the sport goes along. It's whether or not a ball clip the line or not and that's a matter of I mean we say it's a game of inches but millimeters at time so the technology has improved drastically you know what we knew Hawkeye was was at the top level of the sport at the US Opens, where it was only on the main stage because it was super expensive. And again with unique ability for tennis, you don't have one field, you know at these events you're looking at multiple courts sometimes the US Open I mean, you know we're looking right now at this Hawkeye live situation. It's on about 18 courts or so so it's it's very difficult to implement this, even at the top level the sport so you know here I am, you know playing the initial level professional tennis which is considered the futures and we were just fortunate enough to have somebody walking around and hopefully catch a call that my opponent was trying to you know take one away from me at that point in time but you know as I was going through you started seeing more and more integration of people on court because it's expensive to get, you know, three or four people to be calling these lines throughout every match. So if you're talking, you know at the challenger tour which is the second level up from futures. At that point I had three line judges calling the far lines, the serve which you know are going anywhere from 120 to 140 miles per hour. You hopefully had a nice night's rest the night before to catch those calls and you know it was a very difficult situation so for us where there was no excuse me no contact. We always looked up to us open be like, what is it going to take for us to have something like that. So we don't have to worry that in a moment when I'm hitting a forehand on the run, going 110 miles per hour, and the line judges also moving on the ball because he's calling two lines that I'm hoping that man or woman makes a correct call. I mean that is just a lot of pressure to put on everybody and of course, led to outburst that, sadly I was a part of that times and I admit to be on the wrong side of that. But it was, you know, is forcing upon them to make the right call. And then you have the chair empire, that's the one that's calling out the score, and kind of leading the show and it was, you know, their prerogative to say hey, you know, they made the correct call the laundry did the right thing that ball was out or to overrule that call so it's a very unique situation with how Hawkeye has transitioned into this Hawkeye live where at the top of the sport now. It took a second for players to get used to but you hit a ball. It missed the the sideline by a millimeter to and you hear a automated woman say out, and that was the first introduction we didn't even know I mean it took a while every time I said it turned around I was like what was that behind me. It was actually a voice I did not. It was actually a voice and then they said they could have put any voice upon it but they stick with one they stick with one for the first couple years just to get everybody acclimated. But it took a while and, and I think the other interesting aspect of tennis is it's known to be a traditional sport that has that country club feel to it. And I think, if anybody's watched Wimbledon, you have the line judges all dressed in their whites and they look great and and there's some like Christina was saying the romance to it. There's definitely a part of that in sports you know we don't have the contact necessarily but having the people there, and now almost removing those jobs and you know there's almost no need for them besides the romance of it. It's been a lot for not only fans to handle, but also players within the sport. There is this part of it that it's like, kind of feels empty out there, you know, we are, we have the chair empire who's leading the show. Still calling the score out for the fans who are part of it. But that's really it I mean we actually don't even need the chair empire you know we can play basically a whole match on our own scores on its own calling the lines that's it I mean I'm not touching my opponent unless we're shaking at the end of the match so it becomes a fairly straightforward process. As well as we are now looking to see how other entities within tennis are integrating it so within, let's say the French tennis Federation which is known to hold rolling arrows in Paris that's on clay. They were reluctant to put this into their system they said hey, we're a clay court, you can actually see where the ball lands. Why is there any need to, you know how this automated. Of course, once this was going through it and it was, you know, had a few chair empires get down from the chair to look at the mark and well, you know it hit the line so it actually shows a little bit of a sliver in between the line and the ball and you're like well that doesn't make sense because if there's a sliver in between the line the ball should mean that it's out. And then we started to figure out that there are some definite issues, even within clay court tennis. And then you have grass, which also has integrated recently but clay was the biggest one because they said hey, we have we have ball marks, what is the need to put in this system which is fairly expensive, especially on all our courts. There's no need and finally, you know, needed a new technology Fox 10 was one of the initial is the initial clay court technology it's called true bounce. So instead of Hawkeye which uses cameras to almost reenact where the ball took off off the racket. Fox 10 is using video integration to actually show where the ball lands to show how the ball flattens as well. That's a big deal of not just where it lands how it flattens out with the speed and that shows where it touches the line. It's very interesting. I thought you were going to say that the, the French opens issue with Hawkeye was the, that the voice was making the calls in English and maybe that one. It's interesting. It's interesting to hear you say that all these calls in tennis are all binary the balls either in or out and obviously that's a very hard call when it's like right. The question of millimeters but at the end of the day it is binary. It's kind of, and you don't have the questions of intent with the handball or, you know, the bicycle kick, you know, is it really high is in danger and other player. And I guess the analogy in the football soccer world to what happens in tennis is the goal line technology and in fact I think it's also Hawkeye. That that is one binary call that where it was incorporated right away the stakes were so high because you had glaring you know balls crossing the line or not crossing line reps couldn't see. And that's an interesting case where like the technology was incorporated without much pushback I don't feel and it's pretty automatic and the refs watch either buzzes or doesn't and fans are very accepting of that kind of a little bit like, like in tennis. I think a lot of what we're talking about here is we're trying to remove like the margin of error. It's like this demand maybe you know Christina mentioned the amounts of money involved in the stakes and like we're turning everything into a science and maybe there's this tension with the romance where we used to feel that, you know, the human element and there was a certain fatalism to the fact that some calls went your way some didn't and maybe in the long run it evens out or that's just part of the sport, but we seem to be removing that. So welcome your reaction to that and then are there parallels to be drawn to us trying to remove any kind of margin of error and sort of fatalistic romance from the athletes performance to I mean we're talking about technology influencing but then there's also the athlete performance and how, how do we think differently about technology in both those realms. Yeah, well thank you and thank you for having me. Great discussions here. Really, when we talk about accuracy, obviously everybody wants to be to have the balls be accurate, but then you look at the the sometimes you're sacrificing flow sometimes you're sacrificing, you know, some teams are focused on fast movement of play and others maybe want to slow it down so so what when you when you bring in technology. And especially on the early days it's getting quicker and faster and more efficient but you you you absolutely have to think about the flow of the game the art of the game itself, and how do you resolve that issue of that slow down I think again people want accuracy but they want to keep that flow. Now when we look at technology and Olympic sport and soccer of courses is also Olympic sport, but you have the early days of corruption I would say that's a figure skating boxing, the potential for gymnastics. And so a lot of the tech in those sports came out to divide the decision making to validate these movements, and it was quite accepted by people because they felt like okay this could help alleviate some of the big swings by nations and in their voting or the way they score certain skills or drills. And then that moved into, and this is a really interesting point is in those sports. It's been 100% like they're they're they're all for it because they do feel like it helps alleviate a potential corruptive environment. But now people have are having to switch their training to understand that what is the system, where's the system coming from is it visual is it timing is it. And then the way they train adapts to that system so you let's say figure skating, you know where the cameras are so if you're going to do a rotation you better do it started at this angle. And then the system will accurately see that you completed, you know three rotations and not. So you're really the good ones, the Olympic medalists, they really hone into where are we competing, where's the system set up, how. They make sure that it works for me and not against me, and they train according to the system that's in place, and so that's a whole different mentality originally the system was important to be accurate. But now it's about how do you not trick the system but but really make sure that the system catches what it needs to catch and this could be in freestyle aerials can be in snowboard half pipe but can be. It can be gymnastics it can be boxing it can be the combat sports, you know there's a whole long list of sports where technology has been introduced on a judging standpoint. And then you brought up Devon Allen, and you know his his issue 110 hurdles at the world championships and I happen to be there. I would like to watch someone train their whole life for a particular moment, and then to be disqualified. Rightfully wrongfully, you know you're one and done and you're, you're out. You know, at one point, you explain what happened so the gun went off and then but he was still as I could use. You know to be honest, I, it's been a while it was a few months ago so, but I just remembered more the devastation and that this was a system that had multiple disqualifications on a given day, and the most important moments of people's careers, and whether the system was at fault whether he was at fault visually when you watch frame by frame, you could not see his movement. So, when you look to validate that, but then live. What are the, what are the referees do, like they have to remove the athlete from the field to play. And, you know, there's no catch to this so you know it's an imperfect science as well as as one feels like it's perfect. It's that's life changing at times when you look at that one moment. And so, you know, we just have to make sure we get it correct. But, but my point is is, is, you know, you have a competition the flow of the competition the energy of the competition. Those, those are subjective factors that have to be played in it, especially in loud arenas when you're waiting for one sensor noise. And, you know, if you can't even see the infraction by video. It didn't really happen but again it stops the whole system, then everybody, you know, it changes the game. And on our side we train for that, you know we train with those systems so there is less room for error on the athlete side. But it is evolving it's not going away. It's just that we all need to evolve together I think. Yeah, it's a cautionary tale about how we, we were getting a lot more precision, but then we can lower ourselves into thinking that these systems are infallible, and there's still perhaps a gap there. I think it would be a good segue into talking about, you know, how, in your mind is somebody who thinks about how we govern technology and what we discern from that. So these debates mirror things happening in the rest of society what does it mean for the rest of us like, you know, I was shocked the last time I came into the country they now have this system where I didn't have to show my passport or interact with a human it was all the facial recognition. We get speeding tickets in the mail from cameras, but obviously we're nowhere near having like court disputes settled by AI as opposed to a human judge although there's a lot of technology there. There's an AI system telling, you know, us what to do vis a vis the situation Ukraine I mean you can think of any kind of number of crazy scenarios where you may or may not use technology but again sports is a great way of kind of like really focusing the mind on these tradeoffs and, and where, where do you see sport being relative to other aspects of our lives and in terms of integration of technology. And it's incredible to follow these deeply experienced and knowledgeable other speakers. The I see the experience with sport is being deeply consonant with the other kinds of experience with similar technologies because these technologies of course don't come out of nowhere. They don't come without the characteristics of the values that were built into the technologies themselves even before they were applied and perhaps imbued with the values that are brought out in their specific applications and sport. I want to start to answer your question word deeply by referring to the work of a French philosopher Bruno Latour, who died just 10 or 11 days ago. The tour talked about in his work, what he called actor network theory, which basically conceptually put human actors, and the things that we would not normally think of as actors but that we normally think of as objects that he called objects that were incapable in our normal view of providing intention, but nevertheless were allied with human actors in a network that actually was important for describing what the outcome was. In the case of, you know, the, the technology say in in soccer the network looks something at least initially, like what was previously described about the the referee and the cameras and the, the limb tracking and whether it's in the ball or not in the ball. But what this network perspective gets you to think about. First is, who is actually in the network and who is outside of the network of the technology that's being implemented are the people who are included or excluded in the network actually involved in the choice of what technologies are going to be deployed and how they're going to be deployed. And therefore, who is the technology actually for, and who is the game actually for. So, you know we heard a little bit in, in Noah's conversation about, you know, the, you know, the technology was only on some courts and did it go to clay courts and how did it go to clay courts with the World Cup technology yes it may be in the World Cup stadiums. Certainly not in high school fields and in school kid fields. Is this the same game that we're actually playing I remember when I was a schoolboy soccer player, and you know I was awed by the fact that we called this the law, rather than the rules. And it took me a while before I got to the point where it was okay to break the law for the purposes of the game. And, you know, of course we see that all the time in in professional soccer professional football, where people take the law into their own hands do things that are against the law for the purposes of their game and their team. And that's an expected part of the game there are strategic fouls. And then raises questions about well, how does the law evolve in conjunction with how the technology evolves. Have we revisited the way we write the laws of soccer, such that they're cognizant of the fact that we have this new ability to observe. Is there any question there that we should revisit. When we call it the law. There's also another really interesting thing that crops up in my intellectual field of science studies that there's a another scholar by the name of Langdon winner, who basically doesn't analogize but but identifies the law with technology legislation with technology in the sense that these are two things that people live with and through and they govern our ability to do what we perceive as is is right in the world. And, and what we want to do that's that's good in the world and that if we accept the idea that with legislation. We have certain norms, democratic norms of making legislation, maybe we should have certain democratic norms of making technologies. And that only in this case punctuates the question of who is the technology actually for, and have they had a voice in the choice of that technology in these particular instances of their application to sport. And then I'll conclude just with another really weird thing that comes out of Kristen's remarks about the, the watching it in slow motion and the watching it in real time. And again, these technologies are all over the place video technology in law enforcement. And as you mentioned, you know, with overhead and traffic lights, but also on police body cams, and also with bystanders. And so if you go back now, basically 30 years in the United States to the LA riots, and the beating of Rodney King, which was captured on YouTube, and when you watched it at full speed you could not believe that these officers were not guilty of some horrible crime they were beating this guy with their batons. But then when it got to trial, and you slowed it down frame by frame, and you tried to create an accountability line from a police officer to his specific baton to a specific reaction by Rodney King's body to legal accountability, it fell apart. And so yes, we always have to keep in mind that the technologies, even if we're seeing it with our own eyes, slow motion real time frame by frame. It may not be telling us the truth. Thank you. There's a lot to unpack there but Christina I'm really, I'd love to just pose to you the question that Dave Rose brought up about. You need to revisit sometimes the technology seems to call for a revisiting of the laws of the game. I, and it's funny you brought bring that up Dave I always think that that's a wonderfully self important thing for football we caught the law of the game but the handball rule and some of these offside debates. It does seem like maybe the rules were written at a time when there was no sense that we were going to have this sort of microscopic frame by frame ability to look this closely and unpack everything I feel like, do you see that we're, we might be redrafting some of these rules and laws in response to what the technology now is asking us in terms of precision and, you know, when we when we go in and we do these reviews. I really did appreciate that prompt my day and just the exploration of that, because me and my dorky way actually truly love the law. And it was something where we had a scenario it wasn't involved necessarily with technology but it was a triple punishment for to Mori red card penalty, because it wasn't a deliberate play on the ball kind of a thing. And people did not realize we still had triple punishment and the, and there was that discussion of well, maybe we wait for the person to take the penalty and if they score then the person is a yellow card and I'm like, wow, that's super fascinating. And going back to the technology component of how we add it on. I think that is one thing that it wasn't until. What was that it was 2014 2015 when David Ellery was in charge that we had a significant substantial change in the laws of the game that hadn't been there until the first time it was drafted and written so our law was working. But now it was for that demand of what about these scenarios these scenarios and you know we call it law and FIFA international football etc and funny enough an NCAA for soccer we call them rules. And the rules and NCAA college soccer are so specific and anyone who's ever drafted legislation who's had to read legislation and then read the annotations and the comments and the advisory opinions in advance of it to truly understand what the purpose of the law was in the first place to see if we're applying it wrong because there's obviously unintended consequences. When everyone draft something it's point of unintended consequences is that I thought in football and soccer we did a very good job of that and the more we get more details I sat on the NCAA rules committee, the more you now have to say well not every situation and scenarios exactly the same it may look the same there may be elements that are the same, but there's one or two things that make this one different than the other one and you know you only really do that deep dive when you're doing clip reviews when you're doing analysis when you're putting six different scenarios that are very similar with differences on a spectrum and saying okay, where do these fallen and why did we fall in and why are we sometimes I know what I'm explaining the laws right and I'm having explain people I have some really high, some good friends and top of FIFA and whatnot and and others and they'll send me a message well this is why the referee got it right I'm like you guys like I can't make that argument in the public court right like, which is the ball, they're gonna kill us because we're literally trying to split a hair and, you know, be very technical about it and, you know, even looking at the laws of the game for FIFA right now with the implementation of technology what they specifically try to do we're going to leave this in VAR protocol and keep that and that's our VAR protocol policy of how we're implementing technology, but let's try not to affect the laws of the game so much. So when we talk about handling issues right now it's you know they're gotten more factual and handling has always had a pendulum swing back and forth it's you know one day hopefully we'll have the porridge right but right now it's either too hot or it's too cold. You know that has always been there outside of technology. So the only difference now is VAR amplifies it and a little bit of a bigger light scheme and same thing with offside it's always either been, you know, I'm not sure if this is the popular thing you're either pregnant or you're not right. Same thing with offside you're either on or you're off there's no debate about that. So I think people are realizing now with it is that they want, they want, they want some wiggle room and some gray room in the black and white scenarios which the law doesn't allow for, and for good purposes and good reason, but it's it's everyone wants to debate about something which is all in business right. I haven't talked much about the the other football are American variety of football, which is which has some interesting, I think aspects related to what we're talking about. I mean for one thing it's probably the most. No sporting spectacle that has more cameras. You know it's it's made for TV clearly. And, and there's a lot of precision and yet there's still this traditional romance I love the, the chains that get trotted out to measure whether it's a first down, you know when really that there's technologies to do that measurement, but but the thing that fascinates me the most about American football and its incorporation of technology is the fact that we have now incorporated into the tactics of the game. Whether or not you want to call upon this technology with you know you and you know with each coach having a limited number of times, you know, to throw the red flag to go to that review and that's kind of an interesting idea that you don't want to review everything too closely because of the flow that concerns that Kristen mentioned maybe because you know the stakes aren't as high in every play, but certainly if it's last two minutes, they're high enough that then the officials will have will mandate those reviews, but then to kind of like bake that into the game itself where it's up to the coaches I don't know that just seems like this another interesting element of like making that part of the sort of adversarial process and the game. If anybody has a reaction to that. It seems quite interesting how in, you know, it definitely affects the flow and some teams are great with fast pace and some aren't and recovery and, you know, you see these big swings and stops and things like this so I think that there's that balance and sometimes we're not in balance with with using technology and on the on the reference side. However, you know you look at calls like a receiver catching the ball and then making a football move. So, you know, how do you, when you're looking frame by frame how do you really, and it's not live, you know understanding how much of a football move is just there's still within tech there's still a lot of subjective interference in there so you know it's it's just interesting to see how the flow of the game does change. In fact, there is so much subjective also interjected into the tech because like how do you quantify a football move per se how many steps is that how many frames is that and it's not truly defined. Yeah, I think, you know, try me in real quick. Yeah flow of the game is super interesting, especially in terms of tennis when there is no clock. Before Hawkeye live you actually got a certain amount of challenges per set you had three challenges per set and that was on your own initiative so one of the earlier times is during my junior career, and I'm looking up to my father like it's just the time do I challenge and I'm not really allowed to look to him but you only get three, you don't need and if you're correct, you still have three. So it only it's on your end to say hey, I really believe this was the time. Now we're at the point where Hawkeye live is like hey I'm going to tell you if it's around your deal with it. But yeah the flow is super interesting, especially in terms of the tennis where we already struggled with it. I think to see how it flows into the soccer world or European football, you know flopping happens to be a large part of the game we don't know where technology is going to go in that direction. And I do see in terms of accessibility for fans for players for everybody involved, you know, does it take away an aspect of the sport, you know, is that going to add to, you know, how we see soccer flowing in the future going to bring more Americans because the excitement is there, or is, you know, going on the ground for about a minute and a half like you got shot is that part of the spectacle of soccer, you know I'm curious to see how that goes. I think I think tennis needs more flopping. Let me know. But anyways, the boss is back I see Mia. This felt like I knew this was going to fly by but this felt like three minutes. This has been so much fun but Mia I know you want to, maybe we have a couple of quick questions from the audience because we're up against the hours. Yeah, yeah we have a bunch of audience questions so I'm going to try and get to as many as possible and so if you all could try and keep your answers concise that would be great. I'll start with this one from William Jordan. And I think Dave maybe I can direct this one to you. So he says, Are there applications of any of our technology outside of the sports world that have occurred or that seem foreseeable. I think you already mentioned a couple examples but maybe you could expand a little bit on that. I think, as I mentioned the realm of law enforcement for video is really quite profound and astonishing analogy because, again, it suggests that that it's, you know, the technology doesn't solve our value problems for us. It doesn't tell us what's valuable in the game it doesn't tell us immediately whether somebody is innocent or guilty it gives us the opportunity to record something that happened and then reinterpret it. And we see that again and again with the different ways that the different courts have treated body cams, and then we see responses to that where for example in the state of Arizona the legislature then passed a law after the George Floyd murder that said that people were not allowed to videotape police within eight feet of the police and that was recently decided to be unconstitutional, but it means and I think sort of like as Andre said, you know, in American football how it was incorporated into the strategy this becomes another thing to play in with and around. Yeah, thanks Dave. And I have another one here for you, Noah. And you started to touch on this but the question is, does it feel different to play under a tech versus a human referee and particularly does tech refereeing increase the pressure that you feel as an athlete and I think, you know, this is interesting I know a lot of your, your work focuses on athlete mental health now so so maybe you could touch on that aspect. I know it is super unique I think, you know I'm a non traditionalist in the world of tennis I'm looking to evolve in as many ways as possible, but it does I mean the traditional sense of having people behind you even though they're usually in my way and I'm running into them I don't feel bad for that but you know having that tech, it does take away that that tennis field to it is what we're known and and how we've kind of grown up with that and you know you know you never see so many eyes glued to a screen that when a player challenges a call. Like Roger Federer challenged his 2017 Australian Open Championship it was the against Raphael Nadal it was the match point and you have you know we're talking about 10 million people glued to a screen to see a ball that was two millimeters wide and I think there's something behind that and in terms of the players. Yeah I actually think they're the technology goes the other way and it does help you know you don't have to rely on the human aspect of it and there's nothing like walking off a court and knowing that you deserve something rightfully, and it was just human I completely missed something and and for that that stuff that sticks, I can you know overcome the fact that I lost it was on my terms it was my fault I missed a ball totally get that, but it was somebody else that missed a call, just due to the fact that their eye glanced the wrong way a bug flew by them a strong breeze came in the wrong direction whatever the case may be. It's a lot of pressure to put on either person and I think it's up the game drastically. Kristen, here's a question for you and it goes back to the point you raise about athletes adapting to systems. And that kind of dynamic raises another question which is, who's developing these systems and are they being developed fairly and so the question is, do you think there's being enough done to include different athletes in the development process of some of these these technologies. I do I think I'm a solution based person compared to like tech being pushed down into sport. I've, I've for the last 20 years and 13 Olympic games have really focused on finding solutions for our teams and there's just becoming a bit of a marriage between those so I do feel like we are going in the right direction because the questions that were asking as coaches and athletes. How can I get faster how can I worse the acceleration deceleration happening, like all of these things timing systems, you know, AI VR all of this. It's helping the athletes just become more efficient and really, you know, helping in recovery injury prevention all of this, and it just so happens it's coming from the other side as well. And so what I'm finding when I work with the big tech companies and AI companies that we're finding a really nice marriage in between of how can we use what they're building for our benefit. And then they ask us how can we use some of the AI analysis tools that you use, how can we use it to help better the game make it more fair but also make it more efficient so I do feel like we're heading in the right direction and I do think that a lot of it is coming from the athlete performance side of things. Great. And we have about two minutes left here so Christine I'll give you the last question here. And this is another question. It says would making the communications between the VR booth and on field referees or the calculations made by automated systems public improved transparency. I know you have two minutes it's funny because usually TV sometimes gives me two seconds to answer this question. The answer is yes, it would be and the reason there was a bit of hesitation out of the gate and understandably so is you are implementing technology for the first time ever with officials of over 20 years of experience officiating in one way so there was a learning curve for the foul right sometimes we knew the foul was there because internally we knew it right from some of the considerations but we were not yet used to saying, based on X, Y and Z this is why it is verbally and then working with our teammates. Now that we've had and it's still in its infancy right so 2017 was when MLS used it 2018 is when the other league started using it FIFA so it's still within less than seven years of its use. Now that we have kind of gone and we see it more consistently throughout tournaments. Now is the question of allowing more communication and rugby does a very good job of this the Australian football I believe as well does where they release more that communication and it allows the viewers to understand better what is that we're communicating so that will be happening. FIFA right now still doesn't want it but the reality is that will happen within the next five years. Great. Well thanks so much, Christina. That was a very quick answer to a tricky question and thank you all. All of our panelists for for joining us today and for sharing your expertise. Unfortunately this is all the time we have but please continue to join future tense for additional events you can find more information about our events at www.future-tense and future tense as a reminder is a partnership between Arizona State University, New America and slate.

Mind pump, mind pump with your hosts, Sal DeStefano, Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews. In this episode of Mind Pump, for the first 27 minutes, Adam, Justin, and myself have some fun conversation. We talk about one of our favorite new shows on Netflix, Big Mouth. Yeah. It's all about hormones. Oh boy. Horniness. Periods. All kinds of stuff. Better caution that, yeah, exactly. Super inappropriate. Yeah, if you don't like, it's very South Park meets Simpsons meets. Times 10. Yeah, family guy times, yeah, 10. We also talk about some of the YouTube fitness stars that we met over the weekend. Quite interesting, you know, these people really understand how to use YouTube to communicate whatever information they're communicating. So some interesting stuff there. We talk about Thrive Market, our sponsor, and we actually order some stuff on air because we figured, hey, we get stuff from Thrive Market. Why not make Mind Pump media the company pay for it? Yeah, let's get it here. So smart. In the studio. Now I get free stuff. By the way, if you go to thrivemarket.com forward slash Mind Pump, here's what you'll get. Free shipping on $49 or more, and $20 off the first three orders of $49 or more, plus one month free membership. Thrive Market likes Mind Pump so much. They basically said, we're gonna hook up all your listeners like crazy. So that's what you get. They're generous. That's right. We also talk about our screwed up food supply. That'll freak you out a little bit. We talk about old time muscle building programming. It's an interesting conversation. Over the weekend, I was going over some old time strongman, Paul Anderson is one of them. And it's pretty fascinating how they trained very different from the way bodybuilders and stuff like to train today. Also, we mentioned Organifi, which is our other sponsor. Organifi makes organic supplements, protein, powders, green juice. So it's just actually one of our favorite ones, believe it or not. That was the one we were most apprehensive of, and yet that's the one we're drinking the most of every single day. If you go to organifyshop.com, enter the code Mind Pump, you'll get 20% off pretty much anything. And then we get into the questions. The first question was, somebody's asking us what MAPS program would be best for a woman who just had a C-section. So she's trying to get herself moving, starting to get back into shape. Which MAPS program would be best for somebody who just had a baby? Lots of unqualified pregnancy advice right there. From us. Cause we've been pregnant a bunch of times. Well, man, you can't get pregnant that way. How many pregnant, I've trained a lot. Oh, I know, I have a lot, a ton, a ton. And you've tried to get people pregnant many, many times. Yes, the next question was, what was our opinion on fish oil as a supplement for general health and well-being, not as a beard oil as Adam likes to use it? Find out if you should take it the right way. The next question was, in a perfect world, what would our lives look like? Sal's already perfect. Yep, pretty much symmetrical face and everything. More unicorns. The last question was, we talk about meditation quite a bit on the show. How do we meditate? Like, how do we do it? Do we use apps? Do we use music? I get away from you guys. Is Justin failing at this? Does he burn incense? Find out in this episode. Also, you're in holiday season, which is great for family, great for connection, great for food. Also excellent for getting fat. Bad for your body. Cookies. American puts on like eight to 10 pounds over the next three months. Everybody gains body fat. Everybody gets less healthy. It's terrible. We look our worst, typically, around this time of year. So here's what you need to do. You need to enroll in the MAPS Super Bundle. So here's what the Super Bundle includes. Can set you up for all next year. It includes our most popular MAPS programs and it includes them in order so you can start from one, complete that MAPS program, move to the next one. Basically, you'll get a year of exercise, exercise programming. What does that mean? Well, that means it's all planned out for you. You know what to do this week. You know what exercise is to do. You know what order to do them. You know how many reps. You know what your trigger sessions or focus sessions look like. And you have exercise demos in the program. So if you look at the exercise and it says MAPS Red Row, which is an exercise we invented, you can click on the link. It'll pull up the exercise and there is handsome, handsome Justin demonstrating the movement for you. So it's all, it's as good as personal training or better because most trainers suck and it's way less expensive. It's a year's worth of exercise programming. Get started now before you start with your New Year's resolution so you can mitigate all that fat gain you're gonna get from Thanksgiving and Christmas. You can get the MAPS Super Bundle only one place. There's only one place you can get this. It's at mindpumpmedia.com. Stay ahead of the chub. And it's t-shirt time. Let's give away some shirts. How many reviews are we getting here, Doug? Got 24. Whoa. Holy, she's gone up. She's niddlebiddly. You know what I think? I think a lot of these lovely ladies you've been talking to, Sal, are coming over. Sal and his silver time. I've been reaching out to a lot of these podcasts that have large female audiences because I think when they look at Mindpump, you know, they see three dudes. Like a bunch of jabronis. Yeah, and they think, oh, what are they gonna talk about? So we send Sal in because he's the most feminine of all three of us. Go over there. He's got that touch. Talked to the ladies, set it up. Yes. Get them over here. Yeah, if you mean intelligent, yes. Yeah. That's exactly what we mean. So we're gonna give out seven shirts this week. Oh, shit, hooking them up. Yeah. So first up is Jonathan Fay M.D. That's not a girl. I like that guy. Yeah, yeah. Could be. Samuel 25. Could be a girl. Mert C16. Probably a girl. Mert C. J. Young's DVMUFCV, L. Bauer 1, Hock, Rob, and Dawn 140. All of you are winners. We got you, guys. Yeah, send the name. I just read to iTunes at mindpumpmedia.com. Send your shirt size, your shipping address, and we'll get that right out to you. Thanks, everybody. How funny is that big mouth, huh? So good. Have you guys came back and introduced your girls to it yet, or like? Oh, yeah, me and my girl watching every episode. It's hilarious. Dude, it's too much. It's so inappropriate. It's great. Yeah, it's so bad. It's good. It's too much, dude. When the girl's hormone monster shows up, because she starts, she's going through puberty, and she gets all emotional and shit, and she's talking about the things that turn her on, and they include, like, sometimes I'm turned on by the clouds, and sometimes I'm turned on by a book, and my girl's cracking up. She's like, that's so true, dude, when you start going through that. And then she's like crying and freaking out, hates her mom all of a sudden. Fuck. It's pretty damn good. I don't want that to happen. I was wondering if they nailed that side of it, too. That's why I was Courtney watching it, to see if like. I know the male side, it's so obvious. They nailed the pillow, like, banging the pillow and getting it pregnant. Oh, my god. Pretty classic. It's a terrible, classic. What do you think about the classic move? Everybody's done it. Jess, it's like, I've got at least three pillows pregnant. He's like, I've got three pillows pregnant in my lifetime. Hey, Justin, it's not classic. It's actually not that classic. It's a classic move. I mean, it's been written down. And then it's his brother. His brother did it with the pillow. It's terrible. You know, the first time I watched it, it's like one of those times where you almost feel guilty watching it, because it's so raunchy and bad. I'm like, oh, my god, this is fucking so inappropriate. And then after about the second one, I'm eased in. I'm like, this is great. It makes me feel better about what we talk about. It goes so far. That's comedy, dude. Comedy needs to be this way. You got to stretch it out. No, I like when comedians and shows like that push boundaries. I think we're now in this society where everybody is so overly fucking sensitive, dude. Oh, you're always looking over your shoulder before you even talk. It drives me crazy, man. It's like, fuck, everybody's so, so sensitive, man. Relax. Calm the fuck down, dude. Wimps. Yeah, I'm sure it wimps. We're braiding all these pussies. A bunch of wimps. Be strong. Insane, appropriate shit. Man, this shit we used to go through when we were kids. Yeah. Oh, it's terrible. Could you imagine being, we had this weekend where we had Connor and those guys in here. Could you imagine being that his age, that fit, and good looking, and that much attention from girls and making that kind of money? That kid has got to be. Yeah. That's a hell of a time, I'm sure. Well, it's like you see Justin Bieber and those guys, like how they deal with it. Like it's at a certain point when it gets to like ridiculous money and all that kind of stuff, like it just becomes like this weird surreal reality. I would love to talk to a girl or two. Really? That has dated him. Because what I think everybody who's obviously a huge fan, they all, they all see this kind of facade, right? This guy that's like ultra confident. Yeah. He's the complete opposite of that, right? In person. Yeah, in person. He's all quiet and shy. Super reserved. Yeah. More of an interpretation. So I wonder how many girls think they're getting that guy, right? And then they meet him and they're like, what the fuck? But I can kind of identify with that a little bit as he was talking, because there's something about that when you are in front of a camera or just in front of a group of friends and you're trying to entertain. It's a different operating system. Oh, it definitely plays into your personality. I think you have the most in common, ironically. I know, right? It's like totally not. But yeah, but as far as that aspect is concerned, I'm not introverted, but at the same time, I do have those types of, you know, I am reserved and listen a lot like to the group, but then if it's an entertainment, like I'm all in. Right. So yeah, it's interesting. I have a tough time when I think I'm just entertaining. If I'm informing, I feel like I'm in my element. But when it's like, hey, go entertain, Sal. Yeah, I don't know what to do. Even inform it. Let's talk about science. Even informing to me is weird on the YouTube and the Insta story. It's just not. I'm so used to talking to humans. I can put me on a stage in front of hundreds of people. No big deal. Yeah. No big deal. Room, tons of people I don't know. No big deal. Put me in front of a camera by myself, talking to just a camera. And all of a sudden it's like weird for me. It is. I have a really hard time. Well, that's the first thing I noticed too with these kinds of characters that were me. They just, it becomes this extra thing that they're talking to. It's easy and they navigate in it. It becomes part of how they converse every day. It's like these people that they're talking to over the social media, that's part of their everyday thing. And then you see how easy and fluid it is for them. Because I'm sure it's been a lot of practice. It comes to people naturally sometimes. Sometimes, yeah. If I'm just, if I'm like talking and informing in front of a camera, it's not a problem at all. It's the whole entertaining thing that kind of throws me off. That's when we throw in Justin. Throw in the cockroaches. Do some somersaults here. Are we going to do some Thrive Market shopping right now? Let's go. Didn't we agree that this is how we're going to do this? Like Dougie is in a shop for us like every week? This is how we, so what we did was all of us were like, hey, Thrive Market, great prices on organic products. However, how can we also save even more money? And the way we decided to do this is make the company pay for it. So brilliant. Welcome to Thrive Market segment on this Q&A episode. We're now online at Thrive Market. So the first product I would like to order are the Paleo Pancake Mix from Birch Benders. Look at that shit up. Great choice. They are delicious pancakes mix. And then they have another one that's gluten-free, which we'll take a look at. So you can see there, there's the protein pancake. Oh, they have a protein one. Look at that, Adam. That one's got whey in it, though. But look at that, $4.99 for 16 ounce. I can have the whey. I'll take Doug. OK, so if you're going to do that one, I'd like to try the whey one. OK, so you get one of those. And then let's look at, hold on a second, scroll down more. That's only $4.99. Oh, you know what? That's cheap. For me, Doug, get me the gluten-free pancake one. So it's one down, right there, $4.79. It's cheaper than yours, Adam. Bro, you know how much that costs at the store for this pancake mix? Like $10, $12. Yeah, at least. The cheapest I've seen it is like $7. So we got that. So what are you going to get, Justin? You want to get your own? I want to get some jerky. Of course. Honestly, if I'm going to snack, it's either nuts or jerky. So it's one or the other. So let's look at the options for. That's why your poop sticks to the toilet. Why do you say so much? They don't have protein. How come they don't have images for some? I think it's because the Doug's computer is slow motion. I want the new primal spicy grass-fed jerky. No, it's down, Doug. Right there, spot. $5.79 for a two-ounce bag. That sounds good. Normally, $7.59, 24% savings. Look at the Epic Mountain. If you go back, Doug. That's a popular brand. If you go back, you guys ever eat the Epic Mountain brand? OK, so look how much it costs right here. Watch. Ooh, look at Epic Bison bacon with cram bars. Hey, bro, you already got your shit. I'm just saying now. All right. This guy, like take it. He wants more. I mean, there's a lot of options here. I was just squint and chose that. I got mine. You got yours. Justin just picked his. What we need for the studio? Yes. Macadamia nuts. Well, bro, slow down here, dude. Oh, let them go. Slow down here. Adam went. We already went. Sal already went. He's still going, though. Let Doug get his, and we're good to go. Oh, yeah. What are you going to get, Doug? This doesn't mean to be a 30-minute Thrive market commercial. This needs to be a photo, which we've already done. We take care of our sponsors. I just want to get our shit. Let's rock and roll, man. All right. Let's look. I want to see, oh, macadamia milk. $4 in $19. What do you do with the macadamia milk, by the way? You put in cereal? I don't really eat cereal as a general rule, but I'll use it in, say, a smoothie, for example, or just drink it. It's tasty. I like macadamia nuts are my favorite nuts. How about you guys? I like my own nuts. Yeah, personally. That's gross. Well, we're going to see my favorite. I like almonds. Salty. No, I'm a little, yeah. Pistachio. I'm a pistachio guy. Are they the most sprayed? There's almonds? Yeah. You got to go organic, dude. Yeah. I know. Well, duh. You want to know what's annoying? Here's what's annoying. I'm going to tell you guys straight up what's annoying. There's a difficult part to this job. You're ruined already, because you talked to fucking about it. Well, I talked to Minkoff already. I talked to Glyphosate, even organic. Bro, I need to die. Bro, I talked to Dr. Minkoff. I talked to Dr. Merkola. I talked to, who's the other guy? I talked to Bush, Dr. Bush. And these are, by the way, these are legit doctors. They're not just wellness experts. These are board-certified physicians. Dr. Bush, in particular, is a triple board-certified doctor, done lots of research on cancer. Which is rare. Extremely rare, dude. Who the hell does that? Yeah. Crazy, right? He's crazy. You're crazy, Dr. Bush. But anyway. You're crazy, man. These are smart dudes, and they're doing legit studies. So it's not just hearsay. They're doing actual trials and stuff like that. And they scare me, because I hear all this stuff. I'm like, we're fucked, dude. Like everything. Well, it is true. We are kind of fucked. But then they're like, if you're a consumer, if you're a listener, like how do you handle this? And I feel like what we were talking, we were talking about this in the car when we were listening to Dr. Minkoff before you had your interview with him. And I think what you have to do, the way you have to look at it, because I feel like there's two camps. There's either one, people that become very dogmatic about it. And they're like, oh, my God, you had a diet, Pepsi. Or oh, my God, you had something that was unorganized. And then you have the other side that say, fuck it all. Like, oh, it doesn't even really matter. I'm not going to pay attention to anything. Yeah, I'm going to die when I die. I'm like, I'm going to enjoy my life. Well, it's like, well, how about we kind of live somewhere in the middle where we're aware of everything? Right, right. And at the same time, we just, we try constantly to make better choices, but we know that we're not like totally, totally optimal in everything. See, the problem, what's happened is because people were unaware of these things, for the most part, because we didn't have studies supporting them. And then there's another small part in which the makers of these products and chemicals and stuff don't want bad information to come out. Obviously, they're trying to protect their product. They're trying to protect their market share. So because of that, there's never been any market pressures to push manufacturers to not use these chemicals or to not use these types of herbicides and pesticides and stuff like that. But now that consumers are becoming more aware and hopefully we, through our show, help people become aware. But there's a lot more of shows that are happening right now talking about this, that it becomes now a factor when people go out and shop. And because it becomes a factor, it places more market pressures for manufacturers to eliminate some of these things and create products that we want, which now that we're learning some of the stuff, like we don't want some of the stuff. It's the only reason why a company like Thrive Market would exist today, besides the fact that the internet makes it happen. Organic, look, Organifi, right? Organifi is a supplement company or other sponsor. It's a supplement company that produces all organic supplements. And some of their supplements fall in the muscle building category, which didn't exist six years ago. Six years ago, do you know how hard it was to find organic anything that had to do with muscle building? Yeah. You just didn't find it. Super rare, super rare. Organic protein was super hard to find. You had to go to like special health food stores. If I went to GNC, it was all non-organic stuff. I didn't even really see it till I saw that one campaign. It was like Save the Bros or whatever and that sort of brought light to like bring an organic to the supplement. Such a brilliant, brilliant marketing. One of the best campaigns ever. Don't know much about the company, but I know that was a great campaign. Organic Valley, right? It was Organic Valley who did that. What a brilliant campaign. Doug, my phone is all slow right now, but you guys just reminded me of something. I think we have a call with Thrive Market today, so make sure it's not around the time that we're doing this. Sure, no problem. They're listening right now. Right, right, right. I think we do have a call with them about future sponsorship and continuing on, so somebody make sure that before we go on a tangent on what's coming up here. I didn't see anything for today. It says nothing on the schedule for today. Okay, so we're good. Yeah, we're good. We're okay. It doesn't say that on Basecamp at least. It must be tomorrow then, because I know we have it. Didn't see it for tomorrow too, so let me ask the boss and we will find out. But anyhow, yeah, I think if we, as people become more informed, it's gonna place more market pressures, and then we'll see more and more, because what's happened now is the problem is you just, you have to make a conscious effort to seek these things out, because otherwise, by default, you're just exposing yourself to all the stuff, because that's what everything's made out of. All the products, everything, you know what I mean? It's just crazy. The other thing too, one of the other things that Dr. Minkoff talked to me about was aluminum foil. Like don't use it. Don't cook with it. What if you're trying to hide from the government? You put it on your head? Yeah. And they can't use for it. They can't tap in your. Is that why you wear the aluminum foil hat all the time? Yeah, he wears a little helmet. Underwear. Yeah, that too. Yeah, so, it reflects all the negativity. Here's the other thing I did this weekend. So I love going, God, I love the internet for so many different reasons, but one of the things I love to do is it was very hard when I was a kid to find old school like muscle building information or manuals and stuff that like old school bodybuilders and strong men used to write. Cause believe it or not, they actually wrote manuals and stuff back in those days. Like I'm talking about early 20th century stuff from some of these strong men. They actually had manuals and stuff. It's just that you couldn't find them before cause where would you find them? Now I can go online and I can find them. You brought that up and I've been. Did you start looking at it? Yeah, I've been going on that. How fucking rad is it? It's so great. Yeah, to look at what their thought process was like, you know, leading into like their feats of strength, like how do I improve this and some of their methods? And I saw like a lot of them used isometrics too, which was great. Dude, here's the thing that I love about looking back them back in those days, they didn't have, first off, there were no magazine cover, you know, sponsorships. There were no supplement sponsorships. There was no prize money to be won. Some of them became like circus strong men or whatever. And otherwise they were just, they just did it because they loved it. So it was truly a sport or an activity of passion. In fact, back then it was weird to lift weights and want muscles and where would you go anyway to lift them? So a lot of these guys made and fashioned their own weights and all that stuff. But besides that, obviously no anabolic steroids and no supplements. Supplements didn't exist back then. So their routines and their diet was completely designed around what worked. It was all about what works with my body. Technical wizards, you know. They knew more about exercise. Mechanics wise and all that stuff. They knew more about exercise then than the bodybuilders and shit do today. Cause I thought to myself like, God, you know, I wonder if they were just, they were just not informed, but that's not true. These guys knew anatomy and they knew the body better. I don't know if it's necessarily that. And I think it's that there's more people that don't know now because of all the misinformation. Right, I think there's still categories and groups of people that do their homework, do their research, are diving deeper into the just being marketed and advertised to, I think. But then now because it's become so popular, right? Because back in those days, it was such a small group. It's like what we see with kettlebell sport. Such a small, tight community. That's what bodybuilding was like 20, 30 plus years ago. And so those guys all spoke to each other. It's like kettlebell sport. I guarantee most, all the big names know of the other big names and they're all using similar type of same tours. Right, and they're using all the same tools to perform better because they're all communicating within these communities where now, fitness is exploded, it's so big, it's become commercialized, that you have all these now camps of bullshit all over the place. And it's actually, and you know, this last weekend was a really good example of this is that if you're entertaining, you're good looking, you're funny, you're charismatic, you're more likely to become a fitness expert. Right, you become a fitness expert and you're more likely to be heard than a guy like Chris Cressor or like a Rob Wolf who are some of the most brilliant minds I've ever spoke to, but I would never have found these guys had it not been for the podcast world, right? So, you know, a lot of the, there is a lot of great information, even better information than what was back then, but it's just, it's harder to find. And I actually think this is going to be the struggle for the generations coming up. And we've talked about this before with the confirmation bias, like if you all of a sudden get yourself, you know, in this lane of I like these entertaining people and this is, and then you're just gonna get fed more of it and it's gonna be that much harder for you to find the really good information. Well dude, it's like, because I was reading some of these guys, I was reading some of these guys' routine and you guys know as well as I do that nobody did body part splits or at least body part splits or the bro splits were not common or popularized until much later, right? And really body part splits didn't become popular until I think the mid to late 60s, early 70s, you know, Arnold's era is when they started doing body part splits. Before that, nobody did a split. Now I thought to myself, I wonder if a split was just invented later, like they came up with it later and then some, no. They tried splits back then too. They actually tried doing them and saying, I'm just gonna work out my legs today, I'm just gonna work out my arms today or whatever. And they all abandoned splits because they noticed they lost muscle and strength. And keep in mind, they were all natural. There was no steroids back then. Even when they did start using steroids in the like, you know, 50s and 60s. Well, 50s and 60s is when anabolic steroids started getting introduced. Did they really that early? Oh wow. Yeah, so the 60s is when dianabolic started getting introduced. The 70s is when- Which you could get a prescribe from your doctor back then. You could. You're actually right. I remember talking to a guy who was like, we could just walk down and get some deep holes. What was it like, like Babe Ruth era? Like they were fucking around with some like- Amphetamines. Okay. Amphetamines have been around for a long time. But steroids, really the use of the steroids and part of cycles and stuff like that didn't happen until the late 60s, early 70s. And Arnold in that era really pioneered it. And then of course it's progressed since then. But even when they started taking steroids, do you know what they used to take? Do you know how much Larry Scott, the first Mr. Olympia used to take? Probably hardly anything. Five milligrams to 10 milligrams of D-ball a day for maybe four weeks, four to six weeks. Which now they take like 50, 50 to 100. On top of other stuff. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you figure, even if you took 10 milligrams, that's 70 total milligrams of steroids a week. Bodybuilders today would do more than that in a day. Way more than that in a single day. It's insane. That's crazy. So my point with that is the way that they trained really the knowledge you'll get from those old school lifters is more applicable to the average person today. Way more than the knowledge you're gonna get from these guys that are taking all this gear and stuff who have nothing in common with you. Well, I think they reached their pinnacle, right? They stretched as far as they could go as far as their programming and they tried with their nutrition and everything. And then having that little bit of excess of testosterone made a humongous difference because now it's like it's feeding into that already structured optimal training situation. But when you're taking that much gear, now you fall in a different category. Your body doesn't, it's not working like a normal person. Right, right. So you're not, you can't, you can't, there's nothing about what they're doing that you can compare if you're a natural person. And even somebody who's maybe not even 100% natural, like it's just the amount of gear when you're taking grams of stuff every, I mean, you can get away with so much shit. You're super anabolic 24 seven all the time. So you gotta, like if you're listening right now and you're a fan of muscle building and stuff, you gotta go back and look at some of the legends of yesteryear because they were, like the lifts that they did were shocking. You guys know Paul Anderson was? Paul Anderson were the greatest American Olympic weight lifters of all time. This is a guy that competed in the 1950s, okay? And maybe he took something, maybe he didn't, he probably didn't take anything. So consider he was probably natural. The dude was a five, nine and a half weight, 360 pounds. So he was a fucking horse. He goes up to five, nine and 360 pounds. He was scary though. His training regime consisted of, he used to lift in his barn. I couldn't even process it. He would go out to it. Yeah, think about it. Okay, that makes Ben Pacolski look little. Yeah. Bro, think about that. A thick leg. The horse. His legs were silly. This guy was, and he used to lift, he would go compete in Olympic lifts in dress shoes by the way. There's pictures of this guy. I wanna see a picture of this guy. Paul Anderson, look up Paul Anderson. So Paul Anderson in 1955, it's a famous story. This is the height of the Cold War. The Soviets are, you know, they're kicking our ass. Paul Anderson walks up to the bar to do an overhead, you know, what is it? What was he doing? Overhead clean and press, 402 pounds. At that time, who shattered world records? Nobody ever seen it. Who's gonna lift 400 pounds above their head and he destroyed it. He crushed it. Wow, he is a beast. He was a crazy, crazy, crazy beach, bait, beast, excuse me. So he did 402 pound overhead press. Look at those weights on the squat, what? How much do you think one of those plates weighs? I don't know, dude. I'm gonna look up some of his best personal records. Clean and press, 408 pounds. He did that in 1955. He snatched 335. Clean and jerk 440. This guy's just a, he did a back lift, which was a lift nobody does anymore. 6,270 pounds, you can look that up. What? What is a back lift? So a back lift, look up the Paul Anderson back lift, Doug, so we can see what it looks like. He did a bench press raw, of course, probably natural, 628 pounds, dead lifted 820 pounds, squatted raw at an exhibition, 1200 pounds. So is he just racked on his back like that with the weight? I can't remember what a back lift was. I think he was like on a hands and knees or something, I'm not quite sure, but you can see, you see there you go, he's pulling up all these pictures of his lifts. Look at these weights, look how weird they look. Yeah, yeah. Isn't that cool? You know who he reminds me of is the guy that you sort of follow in, you tag me in. Oh, that dude bud something on that. Yes. So what's cool about this is if you read about his training methods, Paul Anderson would go in as he had a barn and I think he lived on a farm and in between work or whatever, he'd go in the barn and he'd go in there with something like two gallons of whole milk and he'd drink milk and squat all day. He'd just go in there and squat all day. And it was insane. That's, I think, a back lift right there. What in the hell? Yeah, it's like with your hands and knees or you're on your hands and feet. What the fuck would you do that? It's so dangerous. The way it looks crazy dude. Anyway, the way that these guys trained all these old timers was lots of frequency. And none of them trained to failure. Paul Anderson talked about this. He never went to exhaustion. It was always this frequent training. They built tremendous amounts of muscle, size, strength, performance and none of them followed these splits. And you know what's funny? I just read an article today, bodybuilding.com. I don't know if it was today that came out, but it came out recently. Jim Stapani of all people, this whole article on why you should abandon the body part split and why you should change the body. Oh boy. Dude, you know when we first started, when we first started Mind Pump almost three years ago and we were on air and we talked about how body part splits are inferior to, you know, where you train the body more frequently or you can do full body or you can do other splits but when you hit the body more frequently, we got laughed at. Everybody laughed. Everybody talked shit. And now you're starting to see this huge wave of people starting to figure it out. It's pretty cool. And what's cool about it, like what you're pointing out right now, we're not claiming that we created it. No, dude. It's not, and I didn't find, see for me, that's not how I put it together. Like I didn't go back, like you have, that you guys have this passion for the old strongman lifts. Like I didn't even follow any of this old shit at all. What I started to notice was just my clients. I mean, cause I've just, I've trained thousands of people and when you start, you know, when I would put somebody on a full body routine and just hit them two, three times a week versus this splitting their body parts, they would just change rapidly, like rapidly. And I wouldn't have to crush them in the gym. Like I didn't have to like hammer a body part and then go to the next day, hammer another one. You would just, you know, do a few sets, move to the next exercise, a few more sets. And you'd do that every time I'd see. Isn't it great? Oh, and they would just respond. Yeah, cause the other it's like, man, you hammer that body parts so much. Like it's, you're, you're dancing, you're dancing around that the entire workout. The next time you meet with them, it's like useless. The only way that I see the body parts split and where I kind of ran one is when I first competed and at that time, dude, I'm training seven days a week and I'm, and I've got, and I'm still hitting each muscle group like three times a week. That's the key. That's the key. It's the frequency. It's not even necessarily that a split is inferior. It's that- It makes it almost impossible to do three times a week. Yeah, you gotta hit the frequency. Figure it out better. Yeah, you gotta hit that frequency. That's the key really is, is, is hitting, you know, cause that muscle building signal, it only go, it peaks at about 72 hours post workout and it's better for fat loss. It's better for strength. It's better for muscle building. If you understand that and you maintain the anabolic signal and forget about beating the crap out of yourself and just getting, you know, just thinking about recovering. So anyway, I just wanna throw that. Bring on the bird. This clause brought to you by Organified.

Pacias. What math program would you recommend for a woman to follow after recovering from a C-section? She is currently suffering from some pregnancy complications and is not doing anything besides walking. C-sections far more common today than they used to be, far, far, far more common. This may be one of the reasons why birth weights seem to be climbing because more babies are born through C-section because they're bigger, whereas before they might not have been able to make it or whatever, because the baby's too big. Could also be the mother's health and what she's eating. The other thing too is this, and it started to change by the way, it wasn't that long ago that when you had a baby, you were on your back laying in a bed with your legs up and you were just immobile. We know now that that is far, it's inferior to being able to kind of squat down and let gravity number one help out and also the position of your pelvis. When a baby is traveling through the birth canal, that posture or your pelvic tilt's important to open that. It's like a squatty potty. Well, they designed the beds now like that where they're at like a 45 degree angle and they had the feet up and the holsters like that. It's better, they've changed it, but it's recently. Whoa, it's interesting because we, I remember going through this part of it because we were looking at alternative ways to approach it and that was one of those things, all the different positions that you could get into like a quadruped position, like a squat position, like all these different things to help kind of move the process along more effectively. It was interesting because- Quadruped to do have a baby? Yeah. Oh, that would be unique. Yeah. Oh, that would be really unique. Yeah. I mean, people do that. We had a doula, like so this lady that was really helpful with all these types of things and like putting, using gravity to kind of help kind of move it along and then also like avoid, you know, when it like the head turns and everything and getting caught in certain sticky situations like that. It's very sticky. Yeah, it's very PC. The other thing too is- I watched the whole thing. Oh my God. The other thing too is the strength of the mother. The more fit you are going into, because let's be honest, having a baby, especially if you do it naturally, is one of the most difficult things you'll ever do in your entire life. It's akin to the hardest, you know, obstacle course race marathon you've ever done in terms of pure physical exhaustion. It's more difficult because it's way more risk. But I'm talking about just the physical exhaustion that goes with it. If you've ever like, you know, Justin, you have two kids. I saw my ex-wife give birth to two. That's a long process of it's a, it's a, what is it, what do they call it? A game of attrition or whatever. You just got to stick with it and it just takes a long time. So if you're planning on having a baby or you're pregnant or whatever, maintaining fitness makes a big difference in terms of- Yeah, leading into it especially. But yeah, I mean, yeah, it's tough. It's a tough to recover from a C-section. I mean, you're cutting right through the abdominal. Yeah, C-section, you're literally, not only is the core weak and atrophied from most of the core, not all of it. The obliques actually maintain pretty good strength and stability, but the abdominal, but more so, even more than that, the TVA, the transverse abdominis, it's a muscle that goes around your core and think of it like a corset. Like if you suck your stomach in right now, what you're activating is your TVA muscle. So that muscle for obvious reasons needs to stretch and atrophy or weaken in order to allow the baby to grow. It needs to make room. So it stretches out and it weakens. So that already is a problem, but on top of it, you had a baby and they had to give you a C-section so now they've cut through all these muscles. So now they really have to be weak and atrophied because now you can't even, just sneezing or coughing can be extremely painful right after a C-section. So when you are cleared to exercise, when the doctor says you're fine, everything's healed, the key to start with is to strengthen that core stability. Before you do anything else because otherwise you're gonna rely heavily on low back. How aggressive would you go? Would you recommend starting with prime in pre-phase of red or would you be aggressive and go to a no BS six pack abs and a program? So it depends on the person. No BS six pack abs would be actually, you would be too aggressive because that program is designed to build the abs and build the core so you can see it. You need to build connection first. She needs to build connection first. I would say prime or prime pro. And then I would do, but I would be even before that, I would just practice the vacuum. Vacuum maneuver. Vacuum poses. Which we have free on YouTube, right? So there's a video that Sal did on the YouTube that's a, you know, so if you do mind pump vacuum pose, it should pop right up for Sal. Or even like on our wall test where you're manipulating your pelvic tilt. That's why I think the prime bundle would be the first thing that I would put her on. And then when she starts feeling good, cause I mean that's all about intrinsically getting connected, right? So once she starts to progress with that, and I'd probably run that for three to eight weeks, depending on you, you know, depending on how well you're moving, how strong you're starting to feel. And then from there, I'd progress to probably maps red. So it would start off in prime and pro, live in there, go to the YouTube, look at all the core exercises that we have. And then the vacuum like Sal is talking about and then progress to maybe one of the programs. Maps red is maps anabolic and that one probably is better than the other programs at getting your metabolism to speed up and amplify. It also has a lower amount of volume, which post pregnancy, you're not gonna wanna jump into lots of volume with your training. So that's probably wise, but definitely step one is when you can, when you're cleared, start connecting to your core. You don't need to do crazy exercises, but like practice sucking your stomach in as much as you possibly can, practice just tensing your core, practice just doing pelvic tilts. Just get connected to those muscles so that when you do start exercising and you exercise them properly, and then you can go do your normal exercises, your squats, your deadlifts, whatever. A lot of people don't know this that follow us and listen that, the way we designed the Mind Pump TV on YouTube, there's playlists. So when you go to the homepage, you look over and there's a tab that says playlist. If you click on the playlist and scroll down, there's categories. In fact, there's a category that's core. And abs. So I would kind of hang out in the core, especially the core movements, because those are less. Rotational movements are gonna be really good too. Right, right, right. Which will all be in the core stuff, right? That's all gonna be in there. The anti-rotational stuff that Justin and I did just recently would be excellent. I would utilize all the free information we have, then I would eventually probably get the Prime Pro bundle, and then I would move to back shred. And not to go off on a tangent, and not to scare anybody who's listening, but the human body or the female body, we've observed, and there's some speculations for some other stuff, but for the most part, you don't add number of fat cells to your body ever except for a few times in your life. So in other words, if you gain weight or you lose weight, you're not gaining new fat cells, you're just making them bigger or shrinking them. But there are times when you actually add the number of fat cells. One of them is puberty. So when you go through puberty, all of a sudden you get curves or whatever. This has to do with adding actual fat cells. One of the other times is a third trimester of pregnancy. So this is why many women will find, after having multiple children, that their body changes or they have a tougher time losing weight. Now, this isn't like a guaranteed, like you're screwed. This just is another reason why it's so important to stay active and do proper resistance training before, during, and after pregnancy. Because you will find a tremendous difference. I- Shout out to our girl Grace Braga right here on this one. Oh, Barga? Barga, I think her name is Barga. Barga, right. Oh yeah, you can go on her Instagram page. You can see what she looked like, what, three weeks after- Two weeks, dude, she had abs. Two weeks after having a kid. And it's not, I'm gonna tell you something. She was straight, squatting, deadlifting and moving all to the day of. And this is not to make anybody feel bad because I can only imagine how difficult it must be to stay active during pregnancy. I watched my ex-wife with the morning sickness, fatigue, like feeling just shit uncomfortable. Yeah, it varies how people like, what's handed to you through that process. Yeah, I can only imagine. However, I've trained enough people to where I have personally trained countless women before, during, and after pregnancy. And I have seen women who I've trained. So I've had several clients in the recent past. God, just as little as five years ago, I've had a couple clients who came to me who said to me, I wanna get pregnant so I want to be trained properly. Before the pregnancy, I want you to keep training me during the pregnancy and after the pregnancy. And these aren't like hardcore athletes. These weren't like super competitors or anything like regular people. And they bounce back so fast and so effectively. One of them, it was her second child that she hired me for. Her first child, she did it on her own. With me, the second one, she was like, it's night and day. I can't believe how easy it was for me to get lean, how good I felt during the pregnancy. My delivery was amazing. Like everything just felt easy, so much easier than it was. You know what you say that, but I have a bone to pick with the doctors, dude. I mean, I've got my best friend's wife right now who I've known forever, right? She even listens to Mind Pump. And obviously she's not right now. I know that though. And her doctor tells her that, not to lift anything over 20 pounds. And she's a complete- What are you gonna do when your baby's over 20 pounds? She's an active nurse. She's healthy, fit. And now part of that too, I'm sure that she probably led the doctor in that direction because I feel like people don't wanna do anything. It's like, man, I've got a kid now. I'm eating for two. I've got enough on my plate. They're thinking about other things, nursery, all this other shit that's going on. And exercise is just one more thing they're gonna have to do. But it's tough for me because I've seen it so many times. This happened and then seeing a best friend's wife going through right now. And I keep thinking to myself like, man, if she only knew how much better. And it's like one of those things that even a guy like me, I can't go in and just tell her what to do. It's like, you've got to wanna do it. Well, and then there's also that thing where they think extreme, right? If it's anything like exercise-based, like they should be doing things like really like intensively. And it's a different, like low to moderate intensity. You know, like in frequency, in volume with this is definitely something to highlight. Because I mean, I have, and the thing is too, there's sometimes there's complication. So you have to like factor that in where it doesn't really make sense to have rigorous movement. But at the same time, like exercise, it will so, like the more you can incorporate it, the better you're gonna bounce back, the better your pregnancy is gonna, it's just like- It's better for the baby. It's just better for everything. It's better for everyone. It's something that it's very, very smart. Now, of course, you don't wanna get pregnant and then all of a sudden be like, oh, now I'm gonna get in shape. It doesn't work that way. You wanna do start before. And then during the pregnancy, you're not training to hit PRs. You're not training to achieve any crazy fitness goals. You're just trained to maintain health, mobility, strength, and fitness, and it will blow you away. It's so different. I'm telling you right now, it is like a completely different experience when you go into a pregnancy feeling fit and healthy and you continue that all the way through till after pregnancy, totally, totally different experience. And there's some cultures, right, that don't even allow movement through the whole process, like hand-fed. Yeah, it's interesting. I think the doctors say what they say because they play the whole- Is a safety card. Yep. Oh, of course. It's all about like precaution. I don't wanna get sued. Because you can't be a doctor who says you should exercise and work out and they go hurt themselves and they try and sue the doctor. Well, dude, you know who has the most expensive insurance? What is it called? Malpractice. Yeah. Obies. Obies have the most, I think the average OB spends something like, it's like six figures a year. Wow. To pay for their malpractice because in some states, I believe California is one of them, the mother and the child can sue the OB up until they're 18 years old for something that may have happened during delivery or whatever. So if like, yeah. So let's say your kid is like- So no wonder they weigh on that so much. Of course. You know what I'm saying? Because it's a dangerous process. Right, right. That's crazy. Oh yeah, imagine your kid develops like some, some kind of mental issue or something and you're like, oh, it's because you said I could lift weights during my pregnancy. Or some heart issue and she's doing cardio hardcore because you know what I'm saying? So they're always in a way on the safety side. They gotta protect themselves. Such bullshit. Next question is from Aristotle Daphnis. What's your opinion on fish oil as a supplement for general health and well-being? Get old fish oil. Fish oil. You know where a lot of the- You know what's popular for a minute? Like real popular. I still use fish oil. Yeah. I still, I- You rub it in your beard? No, no, no, no. It looks nice. I take it for the burps. Doesn't smell good. Yeah. You take it for the burps. Yeah, no, that's the worst part about fish oil is the burps afterwards. That's what I hated about it. That's disgusting. You know, some to be said about that, by the way, if you're burping up fish oil, you're probably not assimilating and digesting it well. Or you're washing it down with a diet coke and that's what's causing you to burp and then you taste the fish oil. So it could be more than just the fish oil itself. That's not being assimilated, bro. That's not, it doesn't- Well, I know you were taking it with a fucking coke. Well, just be careful. You say that and someone's gonna burp after they have a fish oil pill and think that their body's not assimilating it. More than likely- I like to take fish oil when I smell cigarettes. More than likely your body assimilates frickin' fish oil just fine. Helps ease it down. Here's the thing about fish oil. And I can't remember, and this was a big thing that I read like maybe a year or two ago that kind of blew my mind that I didn't know about because it seems like every chiropractor, doctor person says, oh, omega-3s, take your fish oil, take your fish oil. But what happens is the threes are competitive with the sixes and nines, which are like your steaks and so your pro-inflammatory type foods. So if you're eating a lot of processed, fast food, if you're not eating a very clean, healthy diet and then you're taking fish oil, you may as well be flushing it down the toilet. It's the worst band-aid of all time. Right. It negates all the positives, right? Cause you haven't even eliminated that from your diet yet. Right, so what happens and the sixes and nines are stronger. Think of it like that. So they're both trying to get into the cell. The cell's only so big. The sixes and nines are stronger. They get in and they fill the cell up and then you get all the inflammatory markers that start going off, right? So by taking three, you don't necessarily cancel that. You actually have to have a cleaner, better diet and then also introduce three and then you get the real benefits from it. So that being said, absolutely I still use fish oil occasionally. And the way I use it is I'm just very aware of my fish intake throughout the week, right? I tend to get a lot of sushi and fish so I don't need to take this a lot but there are definitely weeks where I don't at all because it's just busy. I didn't make it to my favorite sushi spot. Katrina didn't make fish that week. And so I'm aware of that. So when I tend to string two or three days in a row, especially if I'm not eating a lot of white meat, I'm eating more red meat, then I'll follow the day up with fish oil because of that. So pay attention to just kind of how your diet is. Now, if you get fish on a pretty regular basis, you probably don't really need it that much. In fact, the health benefits that you're getting, which would be the anti-inflammatory benefits that we're getting from the Omega-3s, honestly, just by you reducing these pro-inflammatory foods, like maybe you eat a lot of red meat, maybe you eat a lot of processed foods, taking those out of the diet and switching over to a diet that's lower in sixes and nines is gonna make a big difference, more so than even just taking the fish oil. Here's the thing you wanna consider with fish oil. The studies that are done on fish oil that show benefits are done on fish. So they show people who consume this many Omega-3s in their diet have these benefits. And then they go, therefore, taking fish oil will give you those benefits, not the same. The studies done on actual fish oil supplements themselves. Because guess what, the people that are eating fish, they're not eating a bunch of red meat because they're eating a bunch of fish. The studies done on fish oil supplements themselves are mixed at best. So the reality is, if you want the benefits of having Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, then you need to eat fatty fish. Salmon is the obvious example, but sardines. I've talked about this in the past. Sardines are not anchovies. A lot of people are like, oh, gross. Sardines don't taste like anchovies, they're not super fishy. They're very high in Omega-3s. They actually taste pretty good. If you ate three servings a week of them, you'd get a decent amount of Omega-3s and you're getting them in fish. You're not getting them in just the oil. And you're probably replacing, like Adam said, other types of food. Here's the other thing. If you're gonna supplement with fish oil, the fish oil that I would recommend to supplement with would be cod liver oil. The reason why I recommend cod liver oil is because cod liver oil is also very high in the fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin A and vitamin D, both of which tend to be low, especially vitamin D, in the average person's diet. Some studies show as much as 40%- How many I use a vitamin A in there? I think for every gram, I wanna say, I wanna say something like 600, I gotta look it up. But it's not as much as taking a vitamin D supplement. Right, right, because I take 5,000 to 10,000 that I use a day, right? Yeah, but you're taking it. I have a deficiency. You might have, yeah, so. But it's a great source of vitamin D. Cultures that don't get lots of sunlight, look at some of the Nordic countries where the winter is very cold and dark. People consume high amounts of vitamin D from things like cod liver and other types of sea creatures or whatever that are high in vitamin D. When you look at the Eskimo-type diets, they consume seal blubber and stuff like that. That is also very high in omega-3. So if you want the benefits of omega-3s, the ideal way to get it is through food that has them. Fish oil is a band-aid at best. And if you're gonna go that route, I do really recommend cod liver oil because most of you will benefit from the fat-soluble vitamins. I know Weston A. Price, great website if you're into primal dieting and stuff like that. He's one of the first guys to talk about this stuff. He's like a huge advocate of cod liver oil. Now that all being said, not all fish oil and cod liver oils is the same. If it goes rancid, which many of them do, many of them are rancid, you're not gonna get a lot of the benefits. So make sure you source your fish oil and your cod liver oil very well. Make sure it comes from a good source because just buying it ain't gonna do it. Second, one other point, flaxseed oil, which is also high in some of these fatty acids, not nearly the same. If you supplement with non-animal sources of omega-3s, plant sources, it has to go through a conversion process in the body. So you're limited, you're severely limited by that conversion process. So vegans- I was gonna say, vegans need to pay extra special attention to that. Yeah, and vegans, this against your beliefs, but you may benefit more from fish oil. Of course, if you don't want any animal products, you can't do that. But if you're open to some time supplementing or whatever, plus it's fish, and I know vegans place fish a little lower typically on the totem pole, right? They're ugly. Yeah. We could fucking kill them. They're not cute. I mean, at the end of the day, when it comes to these types of this supplement, like tumor eggs, the probiotic, all of these types of supplements like, and I think when we first came out with Mind Pump, we were like so anti-supplement, but the reason why we were so anti-supplement was- Most of them are bad. Well, yeah, because the most popular ones are bad, right? So the number one like supplement sold right now is pre-workout, which is just a bunch of crap, full stimulants, just fruity, fruity crack. Really it doesn't, all of us, in fact, I just did a post on the forum. So it's funny we did this question and I just had a post on the forum sharing with everybody all the different supplements that I use and how regularly I use them, like none of them except for vitamin D do I use every single day. The rest of them I kind of use based off of what I'm lacking in my diet. If I go, like I said, if I go on stretches where I haven't had fish, like this is a good time to probably have some fish oil on my diet, or an even better option if I'm not being lazy, because to me, the fish oil is my lazy way out. The better thing to do would be go have some fish and or lay off the red meat, because I can easily have a steak for dinner. I could easily have a burger or meat for lunchtime and then another red meat for dinner. Easily in a day or two, back to back, I could find myself doing that. So if I do that, then this is where I should change my diet over and get some fishes and white meats in the diet, or add some fish oil the next day. How often do you guys eat fish? I eat it every week. I'm probably the worst, yeah. I have to really focus, like, oh my God, I need this in my rotation and then we'll have it like once a week or something like that, you know. But I'd, yeah. I would much prefer land animals all the time, if I could. Yeah. I'm fish at least once, if not two, sometimes three times a week. Yeah, same here. But I could easily also, there's times where I have a week where I don't at all, just because of what I happen to prepare or what Katrina's got going on. So I think that's the real answer is learning- Sorry to use Justin. Learning what, yeah. I have yet to- Trying to tell me on that. It's not hard, dude. They don't taste their good. No, I understand you. Like, you make sense. It's just not like resonating with me. Yeah, that one has a, I'd rather, definitely though, I love going down to my favorite sushi place and having some raw shashimi and stuff like that. I think it's sashimi. Shashimi. Shashimi. Or shashimi. No, I think it's sashimi. Shashami. Sashimi. Fuck off, dude. I started- I'll say how the fuck I wanted to say. It wouldn't be an episode if you didn't say something. It doesn't matter. So isn't somebody collecting all of them and creating a, I should have close to a book by now. Adam's Library. Yeah. Of books. I mean Urban Dictionary took off. It's one of the best things. Like, what can't we have like an Adam dictionary? Cessaurus. Cessaurus. Yeah. Next question is from Alejandro Sanchez takes photos. In a perfect world, what would your lives look like? This is a cool question. But it looks like now. Exactly. And you know, but let's be honest though, would you have thought that way 10 years ago? And here's what I think of. Like we're in the middle of like, we all have goals, right? So we're driving towards these goals. And someone would think, oh, when you when you reach those, that would be what the perfect light looks like. So like, for example, let's use the business right now. You know, I would love. So, you know, when I feel like we have really, really made it is when we have 50 to 100 employees that we have provided a very realistic, serious good income and living for. To me, that is going to be a huge day for me when we have reached that point where we're providing that many jobs for people and doing something that they love to do and making good money doing it. So, but I also recognize that part of loving, loving life is loving that process of getting there. And if you don't learn to love where you're at right now and love your life now, real soon you'll find out that no matter how many goals and records and things that you accomplish and crush, you'll still feel empty afterwards. Because it's all about perspective and it's all about you learning to enjoy the process and the journey. I mean, this is the alchemist, right? So, understand that you, you know. What's his name? Miguel? Paul Kohelo. Oh, Kohelo, there you go. That's the author if that's what you're asking. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's authors, yeah. But yeah, I mean, that's a great read in regards to this. I felt like when I actually finally read that book, I had kind of put this together because something happened to me in my, you know, early 20s to mid 20s where, you know, I was a kid who came up from like nothing and I felt like it was a financial status that I needed to get to that would, then I would love my life. Like I have my toys, I have my house, I can travel, I can do things. And to me that was like the ultimate life. Like when I could, and I was working, I put my head down since I was a teenager until I got there. And then I arrived and sure there's lots, and don't get me wrong, there was lots of things that I was like, man, this is nice, I can do this, I can do that. But I didn't love myself or love my life any more than I did during the grind and the struggle to get there. It wasn't any more fulfilling. It wasn't any more fulfilling. And so I think where we're all at in our lives now is understanding that fucking life is good, man. I'll tell you what, something that I learned relatively recently and really it's something that I knew, but I didn't really know until relatively recently was that when I feel like my life is perfect and everything's great, it's because I have purpose. It's not so much even what I'm doing, it's not how much I'm working or how much I'm on vacation or all that stuff. It's when I feel like I have purpose, I feel like my life is fulfilling. And there's lots of examples of this. I use this all the time. We look at, we talk about people who work really hard and it's like there's too much work and it's too much of a grind. You know, I'll tell you what, some of the hardest working people you'll ever find in your entire life are people who volunteer. People who volunteer for causes that they truly believe and people who volunteer for the peace corps or people who truly have a purpose and want to feed the homeless or want to build shelters or whatever. And they work long hours, they grind it out, they don't get paid very much, but you'll talk to them and many of them are truly happy with what they're doing because it's backed up, motivated, pushed by whatever you want to call it by their purpose. And that's true for me as well. When I'm doing what I'm doing and I feel like there's a greater purpose, when I'm doing it for something bigger than just, you know, I want to make some money or this is my job or, you know, yeah, I'm supposed to hang out with my kids or whatever. When it's this grander purpose, everything changes. All of a sudden everything I do becomes much more fulfilling because I feel like I'm choosing it. Number one, like I'm choosing to do this because it's fulfilling my purpose. I also feel like it's bigger than me. That's a great feeling, by the way. When you're doing something and you feel like it's bigger than you are, you'll find more motivation, you'll find more drive, you'll find more creativity, better performance than you've ever found in your life. It's an incredible feeling. My dad is a great example of this. My father worked, he's poor. He grew up very, very poor in Sicily. You know, lots of siblings, parents couldn't afford much. You know, he slept in a bed with his, you know, three brothers and his sister slept in another bed and I think he was like that until he moved out when he was 18. Working, since he was nine, and what I mean working, I mean literally went to work, busting his ass to make money that give to his mom so that she could feed everybody, has always been this way. Came to this country, did the same thing, worked seven days a week for as long as I knew my dad, but always made it home for dinner, always spent time with the kids, so it was a great dad, but his purpose was that my purpose is I wanna support my family, I wanna see my kids do well and you know, as hard as it was and sometimes you talk about how hard he worked, everything was good. Then, because of this hard labor, he was unable to do it for super long. His, he had arthritis up and down his back and his knees were bad and he had to retire and as he retired, you know, now he's at home, he's got pension, he's got, he built this middle class life, he's comfortable, he's not by any means wealthy, but he's comfortable and he went through a long period of depression going through this because even though he didn't grind it out, he wasn't doing less crazy stuff, he had all the time in the world to ride his motorcycle and do whatever, he found himself without purpose and it was a very difficult position for him to be in and we had a lot of conversations where he's like, man, he goes, I never thought that not working would suck because it's very strange and he loved his job, he loved what he did. I put this together with all the clients that I trained in and people ask all the time, like, have you ever thought about your retirement? I'm like, dude, I don't, no plans to retire, no plans. I hope that I really, This is the slow death. And that might sound crazy, but I hope that I've literally fall over dead working. Like I don't wanna, I don't wanna stop working. As long as you, I mean, as long as again, that's, I mean, even if I ever stop quote unquote working for money, I guarantee you there's gonna be some other purpose, whether it be learning or teaching or whatever. That's what I try to explain to people. It doesn't, I don't mean I wanna work to like get by and like, I don't wanna work till I'm 90 to just make sure I pay the bills, but I always wanna have something I'm working towards because, and we see this, man, and recently this has happened in my life where I've had people pass and to watch the partner. It's crazy when you see it like firsthand right in front of you, where you watch someone who's 60, 70 years old or whatever and they lose their husband or spouse, right? And they look like they age 20 years. That was really fast. Like a year. The decline. One year, one, and this is like firsthand, me seeing this. Posture, then the health. Everything. And you connect from all the community. And I'm not saying that to like, people that go through that. I mean, it's gotta be one of the hardest things in the world to have a partner that you've had for 30, 40, 50 years of your life and then lose them. That's gotta be one of the toughest things to push through. But so many people, once they do that, they completely lose that drive for themselves to stay alive and you can see, and it's such a psychological thing that turns into a physical thing like overnight. Like overnight, all of a sudden you see this person who looks full of life and vibrant, sucked out within a year. You have to change. Your purpose has to change too with your life. Like, I know people in my family women who identified very strongly with being mothers and their purpose was all about their kids. Then the kids move out of the house, go off to school, whatever. And it's like three years of life. That's why you have to maintain your own identity through the whole process. And I think that thinking about that way ahead of time is gonna be very beneficial. And that's something that I'm always making sure. I'm finding purpose in everything I'm doing. And I think that this question, it's like, well, you could put a different vision in my head of what might be more ideal or more perfect. But like Adam said, it's understanding how to enjoy the process, the day-to-day things that I can win every day. I can get better at, I can improve. I find a lot of pleasure out of visibly and seeing results personally in things that I take on and then also how I'm able to kind of become something different. And that's something that always drives me personally, but really for me, it's always been about affecting other people. And if I can work and do anything in life to impact somebody else, that's where I'm at. I wanna always be in that space. So that's very important to me. That's what's in a perfect world for me. Next up is literally Anika. Heard you guys talk about meditation a few times. Can you talk about how you individually practice it? Do you use apps? Do you use music? Do you use specific exercises or breathing patterns? Literally, Anika has got a great Instagram page, by the way, she's actually one of our listeners and she does, do you want to? Obviously she's a listener. Talk about living your life, living your perfect life. You know what she does for a living? Travels. She works for these cruise ships and she posts about them and she's traveling. If you look at her page, it's all she does. That's cool. I'm like, that's awesome. So meditation, for me, meditation of all the things that I do for my health and wellness and mindset, that's the thing that I tend to neglect the most. It's still so difficult for me to take five minutes to sit down and meditate. It's just a very difficult thing. It's not instinctual with me yet. It's still something I have to consciously kind of be aware of and say, okay, I got to do this. Whereas my workout just happens, nutrition just happens for me. That being said, when I do do it, if I only have five or 10 minutes, brain FM, brain.fm. Fuck yes. We met the guys. There's a direct, just a helpful tool. Doug put the direct link up on the Mind Pump Media page again, right, Doug? Yeah. Would they get a discount, Doug, still? Yeah, yeah, there's a discount. And if you just go to brain.fm forward slash mind pump, you can get that discount. Okay, cool. So brain.fm has these sounds and stuff that you listen to that have been proven to promote the brain wave patterns that they've observed in people who meditate. So when a mind is in meditation or a mind is in sleep or a mind is in focus or a mind is in rest or whatever, there are signature brain wave patterns that we can observe. In fact, they can actually observe your brain and they can pretty accurately predict whether or not you're meditating or awake and focused on something or whatever. So brain.fm, you put these headphones on, you listen to these sounds and it helps promote the state. Now you can get into the state of meditation without brain.fm, but here's what I found. Takes me a lot longer. If I sit there and I try to meditate for 10 minutes and I only have 10 minutes to meditate, which is typically how long I'll give myself. It's like eight minutes in and then I start to get into it and then I gotta get out of it. Whereas with brain.fm, it's more like two or three minutes and I'm in it. Also, that being said, I know my girlfriend listening right now would correct me if she was in the room. Meditation is about one truly aware moment. It is not about time. It's about sequence of moments because time doesn't work that way. It's all present. So it's just like one moment of actual presence, now you've meditated and you can have several of those moments. Which can take one minute or 40 minutes, right? Depending on the person and how good you are at getting into the state. I'm gonna definitely piggyback off of what Sal said. Brain.fm, and by the way, we're not sponsored by Brain.fm. It's a, we provide the discount code. We had them on the show. We love the guys. This is something- We still use it all the time. No, it's, if there is anything out of all people that we've connected with that have like handed us tools and I messed around with the Joe of Light for a while and I kind of intermittently, you still use that every now and then to play around with it and we've had all kinds of shit sent our way. Nothing have I used more consistently than Brain.fm. Now the reason why that is is because it was such a game changer for me. It may not be for somebody else. Maybe you're somebody who has that it's easy for you to meditate. Maybe you can just get into that state, no problem you already practiced. Then it's probably not for you. Someone like me who, A, struggled with falling asleep at night and then B, had a really hard time trying to settle his mind down to meditate. It's been a game changer. Now that being said, I also try to not use it, right? So I don't want it to become a crutch where I can only get to sleep or I can only meditate if I have this tool in my ear. But I do use it to help me get into that state when I know that I'm in like this elevated state already. Traveling or your different environment or something. Yeah, you have all kinds of other variables. That's typically how I'll use it as well. And I like that you can sort of control that it's only so long. Like if it's a short bout that I need to just kind of focus on, I will use Brain FM. What I've found for me, like ever since doing the Wim Hof, I will try and plan out at least two times a week. And I've fallen short a couple of weeks, but I've been pretty consistent with at least once a week where I'll do a good 20, 30 minute session where I'm doing a Wim Hof where there's a nice playlist on Spotify. If you just search Wim Hof and it has a bunch of different soundtracks that you can kind of go and do these breathing patterns to kind of go through that tempo. So that's been really helpful for me, man. You know, also to piggyback off of you, the box breathing is something. So when I am getting into that state where I want to meditate for a while or settle down, right, become more present. Like for me, I don't even really call it meditation. Like I just call it me becoming more present because and I know that it's hardest for me when we have guests and we've been going like Justin was saying, we're flying all over the place. I'm like, Oh yeah, the last seven days has been insane. Oh yeah, my brain is just on fire and I can't sleep at night and it's just all this stuff is being processed and I'm not being present. I'm thinking about all the things I need to do. What we just did, all this stuff that all this information I just consumed and I'm not even being present right now. And I know when it's happening and obviously when I go to go to sleep, it's very obvious then. But I mean, Katrina can always read the energy on me as soon as I walk in the door. She can just tell that I'm like, not there, you know? And she'll call me out on it. Just, you know, I can tell you're not here yet. And I'm like, yeah, no, I just, a lot going on right now, this and that. And she'll kind of, you know, go brain FM or go meditate or go read for a little bit, become more present is what it is. And I don't even have to get to 10 box breaths. If I do sit down and box breathe, which is, you know, 555, which I've just five, I'm ticking in through my stomach real deep in inhale, hold for five seconds, release for five seconds, slow. I can't even get to 10. And I could totally feel my heart rate drop, literally. Like almost, feel like it cuts in half. Like I'll said, ooh. Yeah, it's very physical. Oh, very, very much so. When you're focused like that. Very, and sometimes I don't even get to 10. Like by five, I'm already like that. Here's the other thing too with meditation is like exercise or like any of the practice, there are some acute benefits you get from it. In other words, if you've never meditated and you meditate once, you'll notice that you're more relaxed and you feel better. But the real benefits, just like with exercise, don't happen until you're consistent with it over a period of time. So, and it's important to know this because I was one of these people where I would do it, you know, once or twice and be like, eh, you know, I got something out of it, but it's not that big of a deal. And so I kind of wrote it off. If you stick with it and just start with this, literally start with three to five minutes a day. That's it. Very, very short. Three to five minutes every single day, whether it's in the morning, at night before you go to bed. However, do that consistently and watch what happens after about two or three weeks. After about two or three weeks of just being consistent with your three minutes of meditation, just like with exercise, you're gonna start to notice some interesting things happening with your body and your mind. One of the first things you'll notice is you just remember stuff. You just, you're making space and you just have a better memory. I was just gonna say something right now that I wish I had this tool and resource when I was going through school. I wish I understood this. And I would love somebody to reach out that's like a college student or somebody that like is cramming and that has, take this. This is what I would do. Like if I knew like I had a final coming up or a big paper I have to write, I would totally do a 15 minute like brain FM, meditation session, and then get into my study and afterwards. And I bet you will see a huge difference in the amount of information that you retain and you hold because you just clear your mind. That's really what, like you said, you become so present, you stop all the other shit. If you were sitting still trying to meditate and all the shit, stress, and everything's flying through your head, you're not there yet. And you need to practice it until you can get there because it will. It's a skill. Yeah. It's a skill like anything. And more, and here's the deal. Those of you that try it, struggle with it are the ones that need it the most. Those of you that do it, fall right into it. Not as much of a big deal because you have the ability to do it.

Today I'm here to review Aaron Blebe's most recent book Cat on the Run. This is episode one Cat of Death and it is the start of a new series. It does link in to the Bad Guy series, you will see lots of nods to that same series so it exists in the same universe and it was a lot of fun. This one I feel starts out leaning slightly older. This is definitely more middle fiction because there is a whole lot of commentary going on in the background here that older readers and adults will definitely pick up on. So I will read you the blurb. It says, what happens when the world's biggest cat video star gets accused of a crime she didn't commit? She becomes a cat on the run, that's what. But how do you avoid capture and prove your innocence when you are the most famous feline on the planet? Well, it ain't easy. Our main character in this book is Princess Beautiful. She's a viral cat video star and is quite demanding going along with that. She's very, very famous and makes all sorts of quirky cat videos. However, an unnamed entity has decided that she is the perfect foil and the perfect scapegoat for a plan that they have. This organization is represented by this scorpion and in her latest cat video they unintentionally use her to start something of a terrorist plot and all of this is captured on video and so suddenly she goes from being the most famous and beloved cat star on the internet to being the number one most wanted and she really doesn't know what to do with this. Many of her friends abandon her as soon as she is accused of doing something that she has no idea that she has even been involved in and the one person who stands by her is Catrick who is another very famous cat who is very well known for his humanitarian efforts and absolutely adores the ground that she walks on even if she doesn't necessarily always appreciate that about him. This book has Aaron Blaby's signature humor and style. It is very fast paced. It is very much written in a graphic novel style with panels throughout the book. I did love the pops of red that also appear in the book so it's mostly black and white but every so often you get this little pop of red which really stands out. There is a really big commentary in here about social media influences and how popularity can turn really quickly and how working in a social media space you really don't have that much control over what people think of you if they suddenly decide that you are now not doing the things that they expect you to do. I'm very intrigued to see where this goes. It does end off on a cliffhanger so we're left hanging quite literally on what is going to happen next but I'm very very intrigued and I'm curious to see where it intersects with the bad guys and if it goes further than just sort of the brief mentions and little sneak peeks that we've seen in this book. I will leave links to where you can find out more information about Cat on the Run down below. In the comments I'd love to know if you've read this book or if you're planning on picking it up. It is definitely a book that will appeal to fans of the bad guys but like I said some maybe some of the themes may go above the head of younger readers but I'll probably still just enjoy the humor and the action in the story but yes I'd love to know if you've read it. Otherwise if you just want to let me know that you're here but you don't want to leave a comment for free to leave a cat emoji down below. I hope that we're of you on the world just staying safe and healthy and I will see you in my next video. Thanks so much for watching. Bye everyone!	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZm8z3uVaBg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw	Delivering insurance to protect livestock wealth and livelihoods in the drylands of Kenya	This filmed interview of Hassan Bashir, group chief executive of Takaful Africa Group, was prepared for the ILRI-World Bank Group side event at the Borlaug Dialogue, Des Moines, Iowa, 12 October 2016.	[ "ilri", "research", "livestock", "insurance", "ibli", "resilience", "east africa", "kenya", "drought" ]	2016-12-05T06:25:52	2024-02-05T07:47:22	280	VZ4qlZCN7sA	I am Hassan Bashir. I am the group chief executive officer of Takaful Insurance of Africa. Takaful Insurance of Africa is an insurance company licensed and operating in Kenya, which has introduced a dynamic innovative index-based livestock insurance product in northern Kenya. As the driest region of the country is affected by the cyclical nature of droughts. Droughts come now and then and every few years we find a big drought or a small drought coming that wipes out the livelihood of the communities that live in northern Kenya. And so with our partners Takaful designed and developed a weather-based livestock insurance product. The most important partner who was involved in the development of this product with us and who in real sense is responsible for the science research and study behind it is the International Livestock Research Institute, ILRI and who have worked with us since the introduction of this product three or four years ago. We all know that this product is useful for what amounts to roughly 90% of the wealth of northern Kenya, which is the animal value owned by the community. And so this product is critical in managing the strength and resilience of the communities who live in northern Kenya so that they can deal with the the adversities of weather that come from time to time. So it's designed to help them out, to make them stronger, deal with the weather and the product doesn't remove the weather but it helps the communities be stronger and deal with it. We are active in four counties at the moment in northern Kenya. We're headed to two more counties in the coming window five and we have had some significant successes considering the difficulty of the terrain and the community that the product is targeting. We have so far insured over 36,000 animals across four counties with some insured of nearly 100 million Kenya shillings. Over the last four windows we've seen increase. The last window had a significant jump. We started the IBLI product using a predicted mortality contract and we have since then moved to forage scarcity and we feel that both in terms of price and in terms of management the forage scarcity product is much better and much suitable to the community than the predicted mortality contract which we introduced earlier. The single biggest challenge if I may start with that is managing delivery costs to the project over a large expansive region of a very difficult terrain of fairly weak communication systems so the biggest challenge is meeting that initial cost as we go towards critical mass. The biggest potential is we're looking at you know a 20 million strong community in the Horn of Africa region with significant amount of wealth that really provides a huge reservoir for insurance company in terms of growth and expansion so it has both the potential the challenges are there but challenges are there to be met to be you know solved so we're very very optimistic about the product and it's a product that requires a significant amount of patience and time but we have no doubt that it will come to fruition.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ4qlZCN7sA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Have a coke and now Claudia Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum my you sound gay Claudia I feel gay mama Oh, I wish I knew how to whistle why all of a sudden all whistling sounds even gayer than humming David You don't know how you begrudge me every little talent. I begrudge you every little talent you miss you It's not ladylike to whistle when walking down the street with your mother I don't feel ladylike I feel gay other people managed to feel gay quietly, that's the same thing at all How do you like my haircut, Mama? Not bad. Is that all? Well, for the two hours you spent in that beauty shop, I expected to see something quite breathtaking. Davey doesn't like breathtaking haircuts. He likes me to be my own sweet, simple self. I didn't know you were sweet, too. Oh, yes, I get it from you. Was I really the hairdresser's two hours? Yes, you were indeed. Tell me when you get tired. Oh, I never get tired. Well, I do, so I'll tell you. I feel wonderful. Am I supposed to feel wonderful just before I'm going to have a baby? I was like that. Mama, let's walk by the zoo. I'll show you David's favorite elephant. Tilly? Yes. David has been in love with Tilly since he was seven years old. Do you know that? I'm not surprised. We'd better cross the street while there's a red light. Mama, you do not have to hold my arm. I've crossed streets before. And don't think I haven't worried about them. There's the curb. I see it. Really? You think that having a baby is making me blind and dumb? Not blind. Very funny. It's only another half block to the zoo. I haven't been there since the day David and I came together for the first time. It was fall then. Leaves are turning red. Nice full green now. How does green is Easter? Nothing's as green as the green on our farm. The pride of ownership. I'm seeing the world through green colored glasses. I remember when David and I came to the zoo. We just moved into our first department. You were pretty lucky to find it. weren't we though? Just a block and a half away from you. It seemed like miles. Now we live in Eastbrook. It doesn't seem so far away somehow. Small wonder. Seeing as how I've been in Eastbrook almost as long as you have. Now we're back with you. Is it the clock that's gone all the way around to noon again? Did you think we'd own a farm when we moved out of your apartment, Mama? No more than you did. David's really happy on the farm. You're a lucky child to be able to see your husband so happy. I know. Here's the zoo, Mama. Oh, I wish David were along. We'll have to give his regards to Tilly. Does she recognize David? Oh, yeah. She bellows like crazy when she sees him. Throws her trunk around as if her were light as little belief. There she is. See? Right over there behind those bars. Children love Tilly. I can see why. She's a sweet little elephant. Hello, Tilly, Tilly, Tilly. See? She knows me. I think she thinks you're something to eat. Tilly, David sends you his regards. Look how happy she looks when I mention David's name. It seems to be a universal reaction. I think it's true about elephants. What is? But they never forget. Tilly, have you got a message for David? Don't tell me. I know. She's sending him her regards. You're smart, too. Now, come along. I haven't got all day to spend conversing with a silly elephant. Poor little silly, Tilly. Well, Mama's dragging me off. Goodbye. I hope none of those children heard you. I'd be embarrassed. Not at all. Children understand about elephants. Children and wise men. Now, do you want to take a taxi? I do not. I want to walk down to the pond. Oh, it's just a few yards further along. And what is at the pond? Children sailing boats. Nurses pushing baby carriages. There used to be something else at the pond. Go on. What reincarnation are we living through now? At the pond that David and I bought the herdy-herdy. One is enough. There's no reason why we should buy another, just for the sake of memories. We couldn't possibly buy another even if we wanted to. Poor old Dominic. He was so sad that day. Snow was snowing and the wind was winding. Winding? There was Dominic playing his hand organ for the last time. He hated to sell it to us, but he needed the money to go back to Italy since his monkey died. But his knights are having the hand organ, isn't it? Oh, marvelous. I don't know what we'd have done without it. Sing the baby to sleep with it. That's what I'll do. Somebody seems to have taken Dominic's place. It's funny. I'm sure Dominic never had a son. Herdy-herdy's are nice. You rarely hear them around New York anymore. It's a shame. Children were skating on the pond the day David and I were here together. It's June now. There's no ice on the pond. I can't believe it. There's no one I've ever seen before. We don't know who it is. It's Dominic. I thought he was in Italy. Well, he should be. He said he really wanted to be. It's the reason we bought his hand organ. And look, he's got another monkey with it. Maybe Josephine had a son. Dominic, hello, hello. Hello. Well, well, if she's not the lady with lovers of the good music. Dominic, what are you doing here? I thought you'd be sitting in the sun in Italy by now. Oh, lady, I used to know could go. You give it to me. The money's so nice. And the Dominic, he's a mind that's all to make him happy. He's a go to sail away to Italy. But what happened? Who is this sweet little monkey? That's the juice to the story, lady. Oh, it's just sweet. I'm a walker down at Third Avenue and I'm a passerby at the pet-to-shop. And in the little pet-to-shop, he's a little monkey. She looked just like Josephine. She does. The same eyes, the same smile, the same sweet look. Dominic, I must say to myself, you got the money. You must have the monkey, too. So I'm a buy the monkey. She's a caller, Josephine, the second. I don't blame you, do you, mama? I've always been rather fond of monkeys, thank goodness. At the end, when I have the monkey, I must say to myself, I must say, Dominic, she's almost the spring. The winter, she's go away. The snow, she's a melt. The sky, she's a blue. And the trees, they are green. It is just as beautiful in the spring in Manhattan, just like in Italy, no? No, yes. And at the Bambini, they come back in the park. And then Dominic, he's an ohi. They would be so sad. So Dominic, he's come back. And I'm glad, even if we're not here to listen to our music, it's nice to think of the children in the park all around you. Go on, play your music, Dominic. Everybody's waiting. And mama and I have to get home. I'm going to play. I'm going to play all the time because it gives to me joy in the heart and it makes the heaven of Jews a little bit closer. Please, lady, give my love to your husband. I will. And when you play your hand organ, many, many rich blessing come to you. We are being blessed, Dominic. Goodbye. Goodbye. Arrivederci, signora. Arrivederci. Biovin vendica. Bye. Bye. I'm glad he didn't go to Italy. I think we need a few more Dominics around. Now, will you take a taxi? A second, mama. There's another place I'd like to see. Your father was a sentimental man, too. He was? Men don't like to admit it, do they, mama? There's nothing to be ashamed of. You're not. So why should I be? I'm not sentimental. I'm anything but. Oh, of course. Of course. Of course. Mama. Does anyone ever tell you that behind that crusty exterior of yours beats a sentimental heart? Nobody ever told me and nobody ever will. All right, mama. I won't tell you. Never again. Claudia, where are you dragging me now? We're out at the park. We're standing on Fifth Avenue. There are any number of taxes we could take. What's that across the street? A nice, shiny, new, yellow and green cab. What's that behind it? Well, you and David here, too. One night when David was feeling blue, we weren't married very long. I think we were still living with you. I remember the night. We took a walk. We came down Fifth Avenue, walked up all these steps, stood for a moment in this cathedral. The arch is vaulted high. It's dark. Do you mind, mama? I'd like to go in. David and I stood, and listened that night, too. For that moment, the world seemed simple again. You could look ahead and know whatever happened. We find the courage and the trust to believe in it. Is it about a cathedral, mama? The finest ones are not built of stone. I'd like to repeat that to David. Let's go home now. It's a good bit after half past six. Oh, I hope, David isn't home. He'll be frantic. Claudia! Claudia, is that you? He's home. And frantic. It's mama, too, David. Where have you two been? I've been frantic. Hello. I telephoned Dr. Rowland. He hadn't heard from you. I called the hospital. You weren't there. I was just about to call the police. David, darling, there's nothing to be excited about. We're fine. I thought certainly. The next I'd see of you would be an eight-pound boy. Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Well, I am disappointed. I didn't know what had happened to you. Nothing happened. David, Claudia and I had a lovely afternoon. No. I'm glad you had. Didn't you? No. Oh. I certainly don't want to go through another half hour like this last time. I'm sorry, darling. How would you like it if I were about to have a baby and I'd disappeared off into the wild blue yonder nowhere? Well, now that's impossible. Well, you're just lucky it is. I'd serve you right if I did exactly the same thing that you did. Darling, listen, please. Don't be angry. We had such a lovely afternoon. Well, I'm not angry. I'm just a little upset, that's all. Well, don't be upset either. No, right. All right, I won't be upset. I'll even forgive you. Oh, good. I'll even forgive you so far as to say I'm glad to see you. Well, that's even better. I'm so glad to see you. I'll even ask you where you've been. Oh, David. I'm so glad you asked. Well. Well. Well? Well, where have you been? My darling, I've been with you. Many jobs are more exhausting in summertime because they generate so much heat. That's why cold coolers are particularly popular these warm days. What's true in factories and shops is just as true in your home. Take ironing, for instance. It might not seem particularly warm in mid-winter, but in mid-summer, that's a different story. Remember next time you'd like a delicious cooling-off period that you have a Coca-Cola cooler right in your own kitchen, your refrigerator. Keep it well stocked with Coke and you can stop when the spirit moves you to enjoy the pause that refreshes. Are you a zoo fan, Mr. King? Indeed I am, Mrs. Brown. I'm a special little giraffe, all my own. I enjoyed meeting David's elephants this afternoon and Dominic and the rest of Claudia and David's past. Now I just wish I knew a little more of their future. You'll know a great deal more about it tomorrow, Mrs. Brown. I will. Yes, indeed, because tomorrow begins the event you've all been waiting for so impatiently. You mean? All I can say is you'd better start packing Claudia's overnight bag and keep that hospital phone number handy. If this is a false alarm, Mr. King, I'll never forgive you. Well, you'll find out tomorrow. Till then, so long, Mrs. Brown. As I was about to say, every day, Monday through Friday, Claudia comes to you transcribed with the best wishes of your friendly neighbor who bottles Coca-Cola. So listen again tomorrow at the same time. And now this is Joe King saying, Au revoir. And remember, whoever you are, whatever you do, wherever you may be, when you think of refreshment, think of Coca-Cola. For Coca-Cola makes any pause the pause that refreshes and ice-cold Coca-Cola is everywhere. This broadcast of Claudia was supervised and directed by William Brown Maloney. And now here's a word from your friendly neighbor who bottles Coca-Cola.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZxS5_azpdw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

We're once again here to bring you closer to some of the personalities connected to the club, be it staff, players, former players or management. Now we've had a little bit of a win-to-break ourselves with the World Cup going on, but for those who are new to our podcast, my name is Zoe Rundle and I'm joined as ever by my colleague Neil Parrott. Neil, it's been a while, lots has happened. We're currently in the middle of the transfer window and at the start of a new year. How have you been? That'll be very well actually Zoe, but I'm just still waiting for my Christmas present from you as an arrived jet. That's funny, I think there's something to do with postal strikes or something like that that we can possibly blame that on. Really looking forward to the second half of the season, I think it's going to be a really exciting time. Absolutely, we're talking of exciting. We've got a really exciting guest today who is known as Mr Community. Having been at the club for 20 years and growing the community sports trust hugely over that time, there's plenty to get our teeth stuck into. More recently he's taken on management of the women's team who have also gone from strength to strength and we continue to climb up the female football pyramid. So without further ado, we're delighted to welcome Steve Kuss onto our official FC Bournemouth podcast. Steve, thank you for joining us. How are you doing? Thanks Zoe, yeah I'm very good, thank you. A little bit embarrassed for the Mr Community but thanks for the intro. We couldn't leave it out. We're going to actually start right back at the beginning so I'm going to ask you to cast your mind back. Tell us just a little bit more about your first job in football. I think Centre of Excellence Director at Torquay. Yeah, I went back at my hometown club Torquay. Started coaching there. Really, but goes back a bit before that in terms of playing there and it's a totally different system to what it is now with academies and development and at that age at 16, 17 I was trying to get into the Torquay Academy, Torquay youth team there and it was a straight letter with a, it was a letter because I still got that letter, I still hold on to it with a straight yes or no and it was a no for me at the time so you had a heartbroken young football player around, a little bit lost about what to do really so I took myself off to college, went on a sports course and really fortunate at that time that football and community just started and Torquay had appointed what turned out to be a great appointment in the Community Officer of Frank Prince and he was looking for some coaches to work at the first soccer school and I thought I put my name in the hat and hadn't done much coaching before, I was still fairly young and he asked me to do it and I absolutely loved it and got the bug for coaching from that day onwards and managed to do more and more within the community at Torquay to the day that they offered me a full-time job and that was a really special day because my dad takes me to go and watch Torquay and it's my hometown club and I went home and told him I got a full-time job but at his club as we all say our club don't we and you know it was a proud moment to be able to tell my dad that and worked within community for 10 years and had a great mentor in Frankie he showed me all the ropes and what to do and how to develop programs and engage with the community so I was always keen on the coaching and I was doing my coaching qualifications and got my UA for B license in the year 2000 and I think in Devon at that time there was only four other people that had that qualification so naturally it led me to some job offers in terms of that centre of excellence work and Torquay offered me the centre of excellence role of the manager there so again I big decision because I loved the community work but I took it and obviously we were fairly low down the pyramid and two years into that job they decided they were going to scrap the youth policy for a period of time and reshape it which meant I probably need to look for a new job and off I went looking for a new job and that's what got me here to Bournemouth the same week I went for an interview for a community job at Crystal Palace I've got to admit me and my wife and went up for the interview and we were totally lost I was a young lad from Devon in London and the bright lights and the busyness of it I was lost and the interview didn't go great later on the same week I came to an interview here at Bournemouth and I thought it went quite well I was reasonably pleased with the interview and as I'm driving back home I get the call from the club that they've offered me the job so it was a big move at the time I had a young family and I had to make some big decisions about whether we were going to up stick some move but 20 years later it's it's been a good choice. Steve did you keep playing when you'd had that rejection from the pro club but did you sort of keep playing non-league around there? Yeah I was playing non-league in Devon and in around the Torquay area but I must admit that the coaching bug got me and I wanted to continue to coach so I was I was going on many different courses I was going out and looking at different coaches I had Frank who I was working with and even when I was playing I still had my coaches hat on and I was thinking about what I would do as a coach and as a manager and I really got the bug for it and it was it was that it took me up there and then it was around about 28 that I probably really went for the coaching roles rather than who I signed for as a player because of I could see that that was where my future was going to be but difficult as a young lad because when you get and we see it all the time within football don't we when you get when you get that rejection there's that there's that big disappointment and you know you've got to bounce back from that but you need a little bit of luck in life as well and I probably think the football and community starting at that same time that I was having you know been rejected as a as a player was probably the best bit of luck that I could have had because it really introduced me to coaching. Steve I used to holiday quite a lot down in Torquay and you said that you didn't fancy the Crystal Palace move but even moving from Torquay to Bournemouth must have been quite a big decision for you. Yeah they didn't offer me the Crystal Palace one and I don't blame them the interview I think the whole day we travelled up to London and it was busy and you know Torquay is a nice quiet little place and I think we were like rabbit in headlights a little bit and we were out of our depth and yeah the interview I come out of it and we were traveling home and we said I'm not sure this is for us this is not right where we are in our life right now but I got a nice feel when I come to Bournemouth. The call back home when I got offered the job I stopped in the lay-by and my wife didn't come with me to it up to the end I travelled up here with my mum on that day and I phoned down my wife and there was a few tears because she knew that she knew that it was a good opportunity for me and she knew that we had to take that offer to come up to Bournemouth and take the job but all our family was in Torquay both and and my family so we were the only ones that were going to be moving away. I had three young children Gemma and my oldest was nine and then we had Amy seven and Robbie was only five so a huge decision to take them away from their family and friends and out of their school life but Anne wanted to do it and I certainly wanted to do it and she backed me yeah it was a big decision but it felt right if I always described Bournemouth as pretty similar to Torquay but a bit more modern and a bit more bigger but seaside places. Steve the the club had just been relegated into what was then division three November 2002 I think it was when you joined just tell us about the club that you walked into a very different club to the one we're seeing now and tell us about some of the people who were here then as well. Yeah it was really strange bit because obviously I had to go through putting a notice period in at Torquay and I put my mum's notice in to say that I was moving to Bournemouth and just a strange coincidence of the fixture as Torquay played Bournemouth during my mum's notice and Bournemouth were doing well in the league and they came down to play more and Torquay won 4-0 on the night and I was thinking wow you know what am I moving to here it's like this could be this could be an interesting season but I came up in November I actually don't think I saw the team lose until the last day of the season they were on an incredible season and it got to the to the playoff final and promotion against Lincoln at the Millenium Stadium so it quickly turned around but it was most definitely a different football club as you can appreciate obviously in the Premier League now to division three back then not so many staff around not so many of the departments that we've got now but some really great people and some of those people are still here at the football club as well which I think says a lot about the football club in the fact that people do want to stay here and work here it's a great place to be but yeah it was certainly a different place perhaps the stadium wasn't full every game I remember the free side to the open ends because I obviously do a lot of community tours and showing groups around and you know that was a big feature at the time was was the open ends there but my you know my initial feelings was I got made to feel very well I felt home straight away there was never I don't recall and it was a long time ago but I don't ever recall being homesick once I didn't think that we had a conversation about going back to Torquay and to be honest we call Bournemouth home now and I think that's down to the to the to the fantastic club that this is just before we move on to your role in the community Steve I know that and a lot of people listening will know that you've kept your hand in on the coaching side of it with with the non-league teams pool town and Wimborn town around here you say you're still very keen on that yeah it's interesting because I think the community roles developed you know I started in the community as a football coach and when people asked me what my job is I say I'm a football coach I think that's the hardest thing I'm still trying to explain to my mother-in-law what I do on a daily basis that it's a difficult job to explain when you say you're head of community but in a simple terms I consider myself as a football coach and that's what I love I tend to lose myself in the in the passion of coaching and I love coaching and when I came here to Bournemouth I got involved with the the academy the centre of excellence that was here various different age groups really enjoyed working with the under-16s and had a few good players in that under-16 period of time that have gone on and and done very well and then I got introduced to Tom Killick at pool and he was looking for a coach and they'd just gone into the West Six Premier Division and asked if I'd come along and help out with some coaching and yeah we did really well there and I enjoyed working with Tom you know we're opposites and probably that's what we worked well together but we you know we won the West Six League three years in a row and had some good success at pool town and I enjoyed working and the challenges with those players because it's a most definitely a different setup in terms of coming out of an academy where everything is very disciplined and perhaps going into the non-league you've got to deal with people's work-life balance and missing training for different reasons and obviously we've done well at pool town and again I'm always ambitious as a coach and got offered the job at Wimborn and yeah I took that really nice club Wimborn great fantastic people there probably I didn't have the budget that maybe some have had since then but it was a fantastic club to work for and I'm proud of our achievements there as well we got a higher Southern League appearance got to the first round of the FA trophy in a couple of senior cup finals as well so I've always enjoyed going out coaching and but I was ready for a bit of a break at Wimborn it came at a time when the club here at FC Bournemouth got to the Premier League and I felt like I was missing out on it I wanted to enjoy the Premier League like everybody did and I wasn't coming to games because obviously I was manager of Wimborn I've been manager there for a little while I needed a rest I think I needed to recharge a little bit I think Wimborn needed somebody else as well so you know it's time to step down from that and took a little bit of a break before then going into the women's job that I've currently got now tell us something about Charlie Austin that we don't know oh Charlie's a great lad absolutely fantastic lad I mean it is true when he walked in obviously he was a very very young lad who was 18 years old he walked into to the pre-season training and and Tom and myself it wasn't something that blew us away you know we were I remember the opening day of the season at Brockenhurst and there was a conversation between us whether we were going to select him or not is he going to start today is he not going to start and you know Tom as the manager makes those decisions and he made a good decision that day and starting Charlie he scored the goal that won the game that day and obviously the rest of his history went on but the night that Swindon come to to look at him wasn't his best night which is the interesting part of the story he's obviously been scoring lots of goals for Paul and there was a huge amount of attention and I'd got him in here with Eddie at the time to come in and train with the first team so he was having that experience although the club was under a transfer embargo at the time but yeah he came came to watch Danny Wilson and he didn't have his best nights Charlie so I think initially there was feeling a little bit of disappointment but obviously saw nothing in and made the offer and I think it was the big standout with Charlie was his last game I think it was a way at Munnerfields and I think he got five on that day we knew he was going we knew he was going after that weekend and he scored five on that day and what a send-off and obviously had a great career but yeah the young lad who'd worked really really hard to get back into the game and he's had a great career and obviously back at Swindon now. Moving on just tell us a little bit more about the community sports trust for those people who are listening who might not know as much about it. Yeah I think it's a developing role like I say when it started as football and community I've got this little phrase it's about a coach going out there with a bag of balls and just playing football and I think over the course of the 20 years that I've been in the world I've seen a huge change in it is so much more than just kicking a ball. We at AFC Bournemouth want to keep that we are a lot of our projects that we go out and engage with children and adults in Vova football but we look at what's needed in our local community now and we put on lots of different projects to meet the needs of our community which is fantastic when I do get a chance to just reflect a little bit it's with real pride that we're able to look at what our community needs and I understand what our community needs and then able to go and react to it. I've got to say I've got a fantastic team of what is now 35 full-time staff within the community department and when we started it was just myself and one part-time member of staff so to build it up to that level to the amount of people that we're working with and doing some of the work that we're working with now it perhaps when it first started it was just for the people that could access it who wanted to play football but now we've got the stadium open in the evenings and weekends and bringing people in and going out and engaging with different people on lots of different projects so you know it's a real developing role community and one that I'm very proud of. For you how much work goes into you know the off the field stuff as well because we always see you out there coaching sessions we always see the mini kickers the women's team whoever it may be but there must be people out there that you've coached that you've seen a real kind of growth within individually and also you do a lot of classroom work as well how important is the off-field stuff as such in comparison to you know what you do do on the grass? Yeah I think it's really important I get a little bit embarrassed when people say I do so many hours and put a lot of work in I like to be on the field that's where I feel comfortable in and people know me I'm not the normal head of community who wears a suit I put a tracksuit on every single day and I try to get out to at least one practical activity a day but obviously my role is to to oversee a lot of the governance I've got a really good team behind me that people just don't see so they just think that I do all the work and again I mentioned my my wife Anne who's part of that backroom team that do a lot of the organization and paperwork and making sure that everything's ready for us to go out there and deliver we've brought in some fantastic staff over that period of time and that gives me great credit as well or a great sense of joy and pride in seeing some of the young lads and girls that are working for me now because I've taught them in schools and I've seen their developments well and follow them and you know they've kept in contact with me and then they've asked for a job and we brought them into a community and developed and I'm seeing them turn into good adults first and foremost which I think is important but good community coaches which is vital for our development of our programs it's obviously a self-funding non-profit organization you've said how much it has grown over the last 20 years how much further can it grow yeah I'm not sure I'm not sure I hopefully it keeps going it surprises me all the time and I think that's the what gives me the biggest joy as well in terms of yeah I was the football coach but now we're running a business and it is a charitable business not non-for-profit so we've got to generate grants and bring in income and you know that's not something to come naturally to me so I've got to learn how to do that so I've learned how to do that and learn how to run a business and develop that but I see it developing every day and that's what excites me and I think that's what you know I've not fought once in the 20 years that I want to change my job you know I like I love getting up in the morning it gives me a a different challenge every day whether it's coaching those minikickers the four-year-olds that we coach on a saturday and sunday I've got to be there even before women's team match I just think that whatever goes on however stressful I am however busy I am being out on the pitch with the four-year-olds that minikickers shows what it's all about because we wore that four-year-old once and that's what it's all about so how about when it's snowing outside and it's minus four degrees there's not a single part of you that thinks oh today could be a long day no no no never I always want to go out there the only thing I would say is that I put a pair of trousers on now I used to be shorts every day of the year when I was started off and again I think you follow your mentor and Frank Frank at Torquay Frank Prince he gave us our kit but he didn't give us any trousers he said we're just gonna wear shorts every day and you know I was young lad then and we just and probably a little bit warmer in Torquay as well but it's a bit further down south but I came up here and I wore trousers every shorts every single day and I'm a little bit older now it's a little bit colder I put the tracksuit trousers on but I still love going out there every day and it's obviously a bit frosty and cold but training session last night and more training sessions today it's it's great and it's you know real privileged to do that you could get a job as a postman I think my postman throughout cold spell that we've had this month has worn shorts every day when he's delivered post it's just I think there must be some sort of competition amongst them to see who's the bravest or something like that Steve go right back to the very first day you walked in to your office wherever that was and just tell us your what you walked into your memories of what you were seeing there yeah I had an office on the back of the club shop the super stores it is now there was one member of staff part time who was working in with community there'd been a period of six months where no community officer was in place so the diary that was in front of me was three sessions so that's all we had for the for the whole of the week two after-school clubs and a disability session ability counts which was still running to this day so 20 years later that's still going which is great and that was it but that really excited me because it gives me the the blank canvas if you like to say right okay we can put our stamp on this or put my stamp on it about what we want to deliver so we quickly set up some some community sessions and got to know the local community but yeah the football club was was an interesting place then and like I say there wasn't too many people around I remember going out for lunch on day one and I thought I was underdressed but it was okay it was Sean a Driscoll the manager come and knocked on the door and said do you want to go out for lunch and and have a quick chat and off we went to the cafe across the road and we had a great chat but Sean was at that time really really fantastic for me he was he was somebody that really wanted to engage with community so to have a manager and lots of managers since that have equally been engaging with community but Sean was fantastic in the fact that you know he allowed me to use the players to enhance our projects and the players then understood about coming out into the community and they're willing to do that and some of those players now are on the coaching staff here at Bournemouth so I think it's again it shows what the club's all about that'll be the Kings Park cafe and other cafes are available Steve yeah Kings Park it's great cafe yeah we all go across the road there don't we to to use that facility but you know I think I came in and thought that you know the manager was taking me out for for lunch a little bit and that we ended up at the the cafe across the road which is like I say a great cafe and we've all been there Steve like I said it was division three we were in then it was the bottom flight Steve the Premier League must have looked an awful long way away in those days yeah I've got to be honest it's I don't think anybody ever fought with the Premier League I remember starting on the Monday I think we had a Johnston's paint trophy or Leyland Daff cup whatever it was called at the time against I think it was late in orient on the Tuesday night I think it was about 1700 people here for the game and you know you look back from there to going into the Premier League but we never we never ever thought about the Premier League I think we're probably in survival mode a lot of the times then I I remember a call with the the Football League when we were bottom of of the League and we looked like we were going out of of of the Football League I was having conversations with the the community team at the EFL of Football League as it was then about what does that mean what does it mean for our community department if we drop out because they only really support and funded at that particular time was the EFL clubs so we would have fallen out and if we'd have dropped out of that you know we may not have been here as as what we are now certainly not what we are now but it would have been difficult to carry on there and you know we are self-funding and when when you have all those avenues taken away from you that would have been very difficult so you know that was a real pressure time you know we're difficult to know when your future if you if you're living for you know basically today and not sure what tomorrow's going to bring that was difficult time and for somebody who was new to running the business as what we've talked about before it is a business that that's difficult that was difficult and you know I had to to rely on the strength of a lot of people and and the strong people that were here at the football club to get us through that but then we went on this magical journey didn't we and one that we could never ever thought that was going to happen and I think that goes back to when we first started and Eddie got given that given that job and we got on that roll that you know that great escape season was something else it was we we looked dead and buried and it was so far behind and I remember going into that January and thinking you know we've got not got a chance but fortunately one man thought we did and galvanized the whole football club and we got on this incredible run but it kept on going it kept on going and that night here against Bolton was probably one of the most memorable nights we've had at the football club when when we knew we were going to the Premier League and the scenes there and was was fantastic and I think the one that stands out for me is that that that just just to kind of like put where we were and in the map is when we played Manchester United here and I looked up at the big screen on 89 minutes and it said cherry's two united one and you think to yourself wow how's this happens we're beating Manchester United how does this happen so incredible journey and yeah but joy to a lot of supporters and a lot of stuff just tell us about how being in the Premier League impacts on the Community Sports Trust because a lot is made of all the money that football clubs get when they're in the Premier League but that has a trickle down effect for you I believe. Yeah it does the EFL do a wonderful job in supporting the 72 clubs but obviously they've got 72 clubs and the Premier League have their 20. They provide us with some funding to do some core activities that they want us to do and obviously the Premier League's funding for that is greater than that of the EFL so that provides us with a strong financial base to really push on and add to our community one staff in levels but to the amount of work that we do and the amount of projects that we offer so the the bit about being in the Premier League to compared with EFL it does have an effect on right down to community as well. Steve you said you did well not you but beforehand three sessions were in the diary in that first week when you came in how many sessions are you doing now? Yeah the last counts and we tend not to stop we just tend to keep going but I have as I've got a bit older tried to take a bit of time out to do a bit more reviewing of what we do but at the moment we're delivering about 150 sessions a week reaching around four and a half thousand people and as Zoe said earlier that's not just out on the field that's within the classroom setting as well. We know our fan base very very well and we know that not everybody wants to be active some people want to have a look at it through an education point of view. Currently we're running adult fitness classes and engaging with a lot of adults in helping them get back to or kick-starting them into a fitness regime so we understand what our community need and we adjust to that but yeah about four and a half thousand people a week that we see it on a weekly basis and that's every week of the year. I know you can't tell us about all of the sessions Steve but just sort of give us a taste of some of the sessions that you do. Yeah we have a strong emphasis on education we believe I believe strongly that if we can get young people off to a off to a really good education and that will set them up for a really strong life and I feel that football club can play a part in that probably 20 years ago I didn't quite realize what part they can play in it but I've seen some really good stories that we we can share then in terms of how we've helped shape young people's education because there was one a local primary school where just one young lad just wasn't conforming he wasn't wearing his school uniform and wasn't really behaving himself in class and I was able to take one of the players with me into into the school and it was Steve Cook who's obviously at Forrest now and we talked to Steve about does he get training kit that he has to wear I set it up a little bit obviously but does he have to wear training kit the same as every other players and he said yeah and I said what would happen if you didn't wear that training kit and he said well I'd get myself in trouble but more importantly you know I've let my teammates down and the young lad was listening to Steve's every single word I went back into school the week after and he's wearing his school uniform and that's the power of the player and that's what it can do and I've got a million and one of those stories where we've impacted those those individuals and the fact that we're going into schools now and helping on reading and numeracy and all aspects of school life is it's really rewarding that we're able to do that and we have Premier League primary stars that does that at primary school level and we have Premier League inspires that does that at secondary school level again perhaps years gone by the secondary school's got missed out a little bit but we feel that we can work really well with the secondary schools there and we've got Gareth our project lead who's doing some outstanding work and really helping young people to make some good decisions that for them they'll be better off in later life and that's down to the football club in allowing me to do my job that we're able to impact on that. There's someone that I want to ask you about not a school child or anyone someone that recently turned a hundred years old I think it was his name was Stan he came in he had a little bit of a tour here at Vitality Stadium just tell us about him and you know the work that you do with with those sorts of ages. Yeah we've got a really strong partnership with you know Rob Mitchell and the commercial team here at the football club and Care South project is one that was brought to the community to to go and deliver and we thought well how do we keep playing football with going into residential homes so we invented this chair football where we all sit down but we take the footballs in and we kick the footballs and we met Stan and we met some wonderful people in Care South but Stan was turning a hundred and he was really fit strong man and always joined in the football and his dream was to come back to to the Vitality Stadium and have a little look around so we had a we had a wonderful morning it was one of my favorite days of last year bringing Stan into the football club just sat in the change rooms talking to him about football that's that's what we did for 20 minutes with Neil Vacher showed him around all the change rooms he walked out through the tunnel we had a little kick of the ball just on the side of the pitch had a fantastic time and I was able to see him again through going into the care homes but also he came to our Care South Christmas party and yeah it was great to see him and give him a little mention but real kind of like the other end of what I mentioned with the mini kickers the mini kickers keeps me young and on my toes I've got to say when I'm out there with them but being able to sit down with somebody like Stan who's a hundred years old and just talk football and somebody other staff didn't know what we were talking about with somebody old old stories we were we were reminiscing about but yeah fantastic character Stan and great that we were able to welcome him to the football club Steve I was I was privileged to attend that Care South Christmas party and I found it quite a moving moving experience if I'm honest all the older people there and singing away and dancing and stuff like that you haven't been taught you've been taught as a football coach that's a life skill that you would have picked up to to deal with situations like that yeah absolutely I think that's again that's something that I can be when I do sit back and look back how I've been able to develop myself personally I will say that I wasn't doing any singing or dancing personally I haven't quite got to those levels yet I might need a bit more lessons on those before I start doing that but yeah the the bit that that I've been able to self-teach and being able to do that I've grown in confidence surprisingly to maybe a lot of people that I am quite a quiet person I keep myself to myself and certainly as a young man I was I was really shy to think that I can stand up and speak to presentations and conferences and assemblies that I do now I think I will look back and you know my mum and dad would have said no I'm not not sure he's going to have that confidence to do that as it as he goes through but I've been able to to teach myself how to do that didn't go to university probably not the same route as a lot of people as I mentioned before straight into a work environment but because the job changed I had to change and if I didn't change then I wouldn't be head of community now and I think that's the bit I'm passionate about working for AFC Bournemouth and passionate about being head of community so I had to change and I had to develop so I did that through teaching myself but again working alongside some really experienced people I study people in this is my kind of like now aside now if you like I I enjoy watching people give presentations and speak and I kind of like study that whether they're reading it off a piece of paper whether they're doing it from notes whether they're doing it from autocue and just try and pick up how they do it how they make eye contact do they look at the audience do not and over the years I've just added that to my own kind of like delivery and where I look to try and engage with people and yeah I wouldn't say I'm you know nowhere near perfect but we try and develop it all the time and most importantly be there ready for when the community need me in whatever that be given a talk delivering a lesson putting a football session on or just being there like withstand talking one to one just being ready for whatever they need do you find it easy or does it come naturally to you to sort of adapt to the different situations because I can certainly imagine in in your role as it is the same for for many of your coaches no two days are the same as you say one minute you're in a classroom the next minute you're out on the football pitch then you're perhaps in a in a meeting and at the stadium where you're talking to Stan or you're doing a care south coffee morning how how do you manage sort of that adaption throughout your day yeah it is a challenge it is a challenge and it's one that I've I've I've learned to understand I think the key to to my role without boring everybody is doing the preparation I think when when I took the women's team job my doubt was whether I'd have enough time to be able to to really give the job what it needs and and again I mentioned my wife a few times now but she killed me for mentioning her so many times but she was the one that told me to go and do the job and and take it but you've got to be prepared and I I spend a lot of time preparing myself for sessions so I never go into a school classroom under prepared over prepared I've got obviously now a bit of experience with the coaching so I can do a lot of different sessions but I I feel what I've really kind of like gained from working in community for 20 years is is reading the room and knowing when to change what I need to change if I need to move something on a little bit quicker or slow it down or change the angle of approach slightly I've been able to pick those skills up over the year but it's one that I'm still learning and want to keep learning and wanting to keep trying to improve myself and get better at now before we move on to more of the woman set up we're just going to go back to 2008 when the community sports trust gained charitable status just tell us a little bit about that yeah it was it was a directive that came from the football league around asking all their clubs to go to a charitable status I think one of the the main objectives was that all the money that was coming into the community then could be ring fence to go back out into the community and that was a really good opportunity for us then to have a pot of money that we could build up to really then plow back into the community to make a real bit big difference again someone said you've got to take an organization through a charitable status it was like how do I do that you know I had no idea how to do that so had to draw on again lots of people's experience and find a way of doing that but 2008 we got our charitable status and yeah that allowed us to to apply for a lot more grants and bring in different various kind of sponsorships and different money from different organizations to then be plowed back directly into the community so that was a big breakthrough in 2008 for I think a lot of clubs to go charitable status Steve I just want to ask you about two of your members of staff one who will be very familiar with all Bournemouth supporters and one who will be very familiar with all supporters of New Milton town so Ian Cox of course is on the on your staff and as is Ben Cooper now the reason I'm sort of asking you about Ben is because you've mentioned that he was an academy graduate here didn't get taken on as a pro but he's still having a career in football so just tell us about those two guys and what they do yeah two two really good staff members like I say I've got to say my staff are absolutely brilliant but talking about Ben and Ian Ian's great because we have staff five asides and he can still play so all the young lads want to be on Ian's team when there's any five aside matches going Ben is somebody who had that unfortunate bit I talked about myself different kind of era but Ben came and spoke to me about he wanted to pursue a coaching career and I thought he was way above his age and his maturity and about his sensible approach to what he wanted to do after being released as a youth team player so we offered him a we offered him a full-time job with us he works with our college teams 16 to 18 year olds and he's developed into a fantastic coach developing into a fantastic man manager as well off the pitch he's got some real real qualities about how he looks after the players that he looks afterwards and he's doing really well hard working hard working goes back into the academy and works with the younger age groups and also plays for for your your favorite second favorite team Neil New Milton and doing very well scores um he keeps telling us and lads about the free kicks he scores and everything as well so he's doing very well uh New Milton but yeah going up to Ian Ian a fantastic guy um brilliant for me um somebody who's got a huge amount of experience I love having conversations with Ian being able to run through things with Ian but Ian's got a real passion to work with youth engagement and some of the work that he does a lot of people won't know the work that he does he works with a lot of young people that have um slightly lost their way in terms of maybe um education um maybe gone into a little bit of crime he does a lot of work through our program and our Premier League kicks targeted program to help those individuals to get back and um into education into employment and can be no better person I've never seen Ian ruffled in any way he's Mr cool he's Mr calm and uh he was a rose voice of a player and uh yeah he's like that as a staff member for me as well going forward how do you think this new ownership will affect the community sports trust and and can it be a it can be a really good thing for it surely yeah absolutely I think like every member of staff here we're excited about the new era uh the new owners coming in I had the the privilege of meeting Bill who came out to have a look at the girls on the 14th training session that I was taking um really spoke well to the girls the girls were really infused to meet the the new owner and um of course as as Americans then they have a big emphasis on pushing community and women's sport as well so we're really excited about that we've got Jim Farola in as well who who again is going to really help us push that community and women's game side of it as well but again I've got to say you know we've we've we've had great support from from everybody at the club you know right for all those years in terms of Rob Mitchell, Liz Finney, Jeff Mosten all those people that have supported community and backed me to be able to go out and do my job but there's no doubt right now it's an exciting place and it's exciting era and one that we're very much looking forward to Steve I'm going to ask you to take that hat off now please and put your women's manager hat on now because we're going to move on to the second half of the podcast like you said you're a UA for licensed coach you obviously can't help that bug you can't let it go and you took on the role of managing the women's team at the start of the 2019-20 season just tell us about that what got you involved I know that the they are linked with the community sports trust yeah I think you'd go back a little bit before and I think they when I finished at Wimbledon I don't often say I'm tired because I don't like it because it's kind of like says I've been defeated a little bit but I was tired after Wimbledon and I needed a I needed a little bit of break but I think a year year and a half after leaving Wimbledon I think my wife knew that I was itchy to get back in I started looking at a few jobs and I kept on saying to myself not another non-league job don't take that that's not for you right now but then in 2015 I was asked to look at the women's set up here at AFC Bournemouth and it was being run at the time by Vince Taylor who's doing a great job but was slightly detached from the club and we wanted to bring it back into the club and we brought it back in with a back in a Neil Blake and we appointed a manager at the time in Steve Davis who did wonderful job in moving them forward but it was time for a new manager to come in we had a little look around I was yes I was interested in it but I was doing one that was doing the appointment so it was a bit of a strange one but so I almost like appointed myself to to run it because I felt that right there and then I was probably best place to do it I didn't as I said to Zoe earlier I didn't wasn't quite sure how I was going to do it because the I don't know how the players do it at times where they work and train in the evening and the commitment and the show to travel all around it on a Sunday but I wanted to make sure that I could free up enough time to be able to give that job the full value and what I do I do I make sure that I give that 100% every time in terms of planning preparation and trying to take on the team so yeah I put my coaching boots back on and took on the women's team and and coincided with my first season was was a Covid season but we were top of the league at the time and nearly nearly over the line in terms of promotion and and the FA decided that the leagues would be as they were when we got promoted and now play at national league level and carrying on developing the team and trying to move it forward which I think we've done year on year with the women's team to to where they are right now how different is it managing a women's team to managing a men's team or is there no difference there is difference yeah definitely there's there's the obvious difference around being in the changing rooms at certain certain times you know obviously when I was managing a men's teams you could stay in and around the changing rooms but we we have very like set procedures where I come in and speak to the players come out leave them they know what time they've got to be on the pitch and they come and meet us out on the pitch for the warm-up and the women's game is very much different at the end of the game as well there's always there's always a huddle in there where we do our bit of debrief at the end and any status and supporters that are watching the women's players always go over to them before going back into the changing room so there is a there is a little bit of difference but I'm sure the players will will say that you know I'm hard on them I want the best out of them I've got probably high standards and want the best out of the players all the time and drive them to be the best that they can be and we work really hard on the training pitch because I believe that's where you get better so training is a big big part of what I what I want for my players to then try and perform on on the pitch on a Sunday which you know I have to say over my three years now as the manager the players have been fantastic and have been a pleasure to work with Steve you've 18 months you've been in the national league set up now that was a massive step from tier five effectively which you were in just tell us how what differences you've noticed in the step up yeah we noticed a big difference in the set up there's the I'm sure the supporters have as well yeah I think there's gone a few results that we might have had in the league below where we were winning eight nine ten zero in some games the games are really really close we played Maidenhead who were in the bottom two on on Sunday and just won three two with a late winner the standard is is is definitely up and obviously when you go up the pyramid everything improves as well so we've we've been playing on better pitches we've been playing at stadiums and and enjoying that side of it as well but yeah the standard is is much better the challenge is really hard I think our first year in that national league we we probably overachieved we didn't think that we were going to be pushing for promotion because we were going into a new league that we didn't know much about but we started off very well we kept on going and finished second but in the women's league only one team gets promoted so we didn't get promoted and we are in the same league this year and currently sitting second place probably third place with a few games in hand on other teams but yeah the standard is very good the players have had to to to raise their standards we're signing players from different areas than we've signed before but we still got players that played for us five six years ago and we've got a big emphasis on developing our own players through our youth program. Steve I've just got to say when I was looking at the league table I knew I knew you were playing Saint Hostel but I mean that's somewhere I go on holiday for a week your guys went down there for for a game I mean that is commitment is it not? Huge commitment as well we made the decision to make that an overnight trip the first time the women's team had gone to an away match overnight so in itself that was that was a challenge because the players play on a Sunday so sometimes they work on a Saturday some of them got a Saturday shift so they need to get time off work for us to leave the Vitality Stadium here on Saturday lunch time and we traveled down to Saint Hostel yeah four and a bit hours down to their stayed overnight bit of doubt about whether the game was on as well so we thought that we might have to do it again if it was if it was called off but we managed to play and yeah I've got to say that it can't be underestimated what the players commitment that they show to play for AFC Bournemouth fans again non-league players and women's players across the country are all doing the same but I can't speak highly enough of my players who who make time to train because they know it's important and they make time to be able to go to places like Saint Hostel at the weekends and they love playing for AFC Bournemouth so you know it's real down to the players commitment and their desire to do well and I love working with them from that fact. I want to ask you about another competition we talked about the National League finishing second in our first season in the National League is is an incredible achievement but the FA Cup it's always been a really special competition for us last year and this year you know we've reached the second round popper for the first time in the club's history and it's a competition that everyone in the team really looks forward to how much does it give for you and the girls that play you know it's it's something that if you go far in it you can play some some fantastic teams. Yeah I think that's always the aim because at a level we play out we have to go through the qualifiers first so every every season we have to go through the qualifiers to get into that first round and every year we've we've pushed on and got further and further but for me as the coach in the changing room it's probably slightly different as though you know this because you played for me for the season it's it's that one where we can look at it and we start to talk about dreaming and you know I try and set the scene for what it would be like for the players we talk about having a dream getting through to that later rounds and and pulling out a super league team and having our cup final day and we're no different to any other club all the way through through the pyramids who who want to try and draw a plum tie and play a top team and challenge yourself against them so the FA Cup for somebody who who used to watch that FA Cup from the TV programs of nine o'clock in the morning till it finished at five o'clock at night and then going out and kicking the ball with my brother the FA Cup is is a is a big competition and one that we want to do well in and fortunately we have done reasonably well over the last few years in that but we still want to keep pushing for those for those big cup ties. You've spoken about the growth of the team and to the extent where we're you know some games were going the night before and and things like that where it allows how nice is it for you know when you can see the girls and how involved in community sessions player appearances they're in the kitshoot they're on the side of the stadium that's a huge thing. Yeah it is a huge thing and I it's a it's immense pride that I see what the work they do and you know we've got people that are working in schools we've got school teachers we've got people working in the NHS got people working in the community for me and I I see them grow I think within the within the women's game they're in the senior side a little bit earlier than they are in the men's game so I've got currently got two 16 year olds that are playing in the first team I've got eight of the first team squad that are teenagers and you have to adapt to that you've got to understand that we've got 16 year olds in the team and we've also got 28 year olds and 32 year olds in the team as well so trying to create the right environment for them is priority for me so they feel comfortable but seeing them develop off the field but on the field as well and I think that when you look at the 16 year olds and I go back to a little family's tale as well now I phoned my dad but unfortunately my dad passed away a couple of years ago but when I took on the job at the women's team I had a number of young players that were in the in the team and I was looking to pick the team for the first day and I wasn't sure whether to pick a couple of 16 year olds in Caitlyn Ward and Abby Jones that are still playing now and my dad was listening to me he doesn't know he doesn't know him he lived in Torquay and I said dad I've got you know a really promising fallback in Abby Jones but she's 16 and he said a few things and he gives me a bit of advice and he trusts yourself and we picked her and she's still playing now and you see see the difference they are when they're 16 to when they become 18 to when they become 21 and someone like Katie Scadan who's been our goalkeeper now for a number of years and been working in community the work that she does in community is absolutely fantastic and is is a great role model for the women's game that she's doing that out in the community and performing so well training every week and playing on the matches so credit to them for for what they do but yeah when you can step back and see the growth in them as people and players it's really satisfying. Someone I just want to pick out a 16 year old that we have Holly Humphries now she earlier this season became the first player that's played as the under 10s the under 12s the under 14s the under 16s and now the first team obviously a huge moment for her but that must fill you and the coaches that have brought her up with immense pride. Yeah I'm lucky I sit at the top of it and you know I get a little bit of credit for it but you know the credit goes to a lot of people I've mentioned our community staff our girls and women staff that work around that program do a huge amount of work and it was uh I go out and work with younger players as well I think it's an important part to know what's coming through and we knew that Holly was progressing very very well in her under 16s age group and as soon as she turned 16 we were able to bring her into into the first team environment and she actually played two days after her 16th birthday against the tier three side in the cup magnificent achievement for her to be able to do that and still be in the first team now but it was draw it was put to my attention that that Holly was going to be the first player to go through all four of the girls age groups in the under tens under 12s under 14 16s and if she makes a debut for the first team she'd be the first player to do that I was very conscious that that was coming but Holly had to earn it and I wasn't going to give her a debut just because it was great for the program but again Holly is somebody who's who's worked really hard uh a young girl that's trying to find a way in the women's game now and finding uh you know you get two steps forward one back and then you've got to keep learning and developing and I think that's an important part of what I keep saying to the younger players keep learning keep developing but yeah great achievement for Holly and hopefully she'll go on to even bigger things with us playing every single week as a 16 year old is is a good achievement for her talking of growth April 2022 a big moment the women's team played their first competitive fixture here at Vitality Stadium just give us your memories of that day it was it was fantastic I think in the tunnel we had all their uh you know their their squad numbers up their shirts up it was it was a great moment wasn't it oh it was it was a memorable moment we still talk about it now as as as as we do as as a squad um the build up to it was was incredible so many people including yourself Zoe and the media team and the branding and everybody here at the football club just got right behind the women's team and made them feel really special you know putting pictures of up in the tunnel or the interviews that were going on beforehand or the advertising of the game it was with mixed emotions for me because we were in second place in the league and um I knew it was a special day for the women's team it was a special day for the girls and women's program because we're highlighting what can be achieved and playing out on that pitch and we wanted the to be a real showcase event but we were getting close to the end of the season and we needed three points as well so I had this balance between trying to keep the team focused on trying to win and not let the occasion get the better of them but we kept on getting an update on the crowds and we're normally playing in front of 200 people and I think 200 was sold out on the first day and then jazz in a ticket office kept on speaking to me and we sold 500 we sold 800 we sold 1000 got the 1500 and you could just see it on the players faces it was the biggest crowd they've ever going to play on I think it finished up at 1600 was the attendance but again the players were unbelievable on the day to to to put the performance in that they put in with all that was going on for them to win 4-1 get the three points and celebrate and being able to celebrate with uh and they still talk about it now and uh fortunately we've got another game coming up this year and hopefully we can do as well in that game as well because I don't think we can underestimate what it means to play at the Vitality Stadium I remind myself every day I walk through the doors it's my job and I walk through here for for every day for 20 years and you can forget what a special place this is but when you get the opportunity to play out on that pitch or come in here for a community event it's a special place and the players really enjoyed that and again credit to them for a magnificent performance and handling the situation and where they've done and what they wanted to do is to inspire young people to be players for football players in the future and I think they did that well on that day. Is that another exclusive for the AFC Bournemouth podcast Steve there's another game at Vitality Stadium what can you tell us about that? There is we are playing a league match again um we we wanted to make sure it's a league match and moving on from the friendlies that we we've previously done um off the back of the Cheshire game last year so Sunday the 16th of April we are playing Maiden Ed here at the Vitality Stadium it would be fantastic if we could match the 1600 or even go better and beat that uh if you've never seen the team play before come along and have a look at them they're they're good players who who work exceptionally hard and are very proud to play for AFC Bournemouth and uh hopefully you enjoy it if you come along. Steve I looking at the league table I know you're second and I know the team that got relegated last season atop of the league card if that just shows you the strength of the women's structure what are your hopes for the rest of this season? Yeah I hope for the rest of the season is to put some pressure on the top two for sure there the the league is very much different to what it was last year as you say four teams got relegated down from the Premier Division which made our league really strong and Cardiff have started off exceptionally well with uh I think it was nine straight wins and put themselves top of the league they've they've recently lost the game and Exeter are a very very good side so they're the top two sides and I think there's a number of other good sides in the league in Southampton and Money Fields and Chelsea that are all putting some pressure on so you know without telling you too much what I say in the changing room I've said we're in a little mini league at the moment where we've got to try and win the games that we've got coming up to put some pressure on the top two and that's our job at the moment to try and just keep winning put some pressure on the top two and uh we were back to our first game on Sunday against Made in Head as it was without playing for six weeks and again credit to the players without playing for six weeks we managed to win that game with a late winner and now we've got a nice runner games coming up and hopefully we can try and win those games and put some pressure on the top two Steve England winning the Euros women's Euros in the summer and the the whole general um the women's game is just mushroomed and blossoming everywhere have you noticed that at our level massively yeah so my role as the community um so many phone calls so many emails so many girls wanted to come and play absolutely brilliant so again it's it's us adjusting to to what we need to our community so we have more girl sessions that we've we've ever had before within AOC Bournemouth community young girls from the age of five six seven being able to come along enjoy football play at a recreational level and then of course from there if they they want to they can go into teams and we've got a lot of connection with local uh youth teams those that show the the potential and talent come into our into our Bournemouth pathway and it allows us to to engage with nearly now 400 girls on a weekly basis during that pathway um and then hopefully we get more holly humphreys that going from the under tens all the way up through to to playing that first team but yeah the lioness is what a great summer that was and um I think everybody any every single person in the women's game has benefited benefited from that along with the men's game as well because it's uh it's been a magnificent achievement for them to to to win the euros and one that we've all benefited from with more spotlight on the women's game now you've obviously been around the men's non-league circle for a long period of time and we all know that players are getting paid some players are getting paid at that level now how does that fit into the women's game it must get to the stage where if you're going to progress you eventually may have to think about paying players is that fair to say yeah absolutely and we're at a level where some of our opposition do get paid so there's another challenge in terms of of trying to be competitive in the league that we're in um we are certainly always looking at how we restructure the women's team and go forward with that so it's it's something that's being looked at right now in terms of what the structure might look like for next season and yeah that might include some kind of budget it may not but it certainly that's where the women's game is going in terms of of matching what some of the men's non-league teams have but also at the top end more professional contracts for the women's players because that will allow them to focus on football as I've detailed before some of our players are are working long shifts at work jumping straight in their cars getting changed coming to training working hard at training eating their evening meal at 10 o'clock at night and trying to be prepared for games at the weekend which is credit to them but anything we can do to help and move that forward that's certainly something that I'm looking at all the time to try and help with and traveling to st. Ostall maidenhead and Cardiff and places like that Steve yeah there's a few that fall asleep on the bus on the way down but yeah there's uh there's some traveling involved in our league as well obviously where we're positioned uh on on the south coast we have to do a little bit of traveling but I think that's nice because the girls get on well with each other and get on the bus together and socialize and um yeah it's good to be able to do that along with the which is a little bit of a joke with one or two of the younger girls doing their homework so that's the that's the age range we have on the on the squad one or two got to do the homework and one or two are catching up on sleep from work both hats are going to be needed for this one Steve I know that you play your home games at ringwood towns long long lane headquarters just tell us about this developing relationship with ringwood town yeah I think it's um something that we wanted to to have for a number of years in community when when I come up with an idea around a community project the first thing I have to do is find a venue to be able to run it from we've never had a the the joy of having our own facility so the opportunity came up a number of years ago to start talking to ringwood town about developing their facilities and um delighted to say again different business skills different hats I've had to put on in terms of developing a football foundation bid that has been accepted for us to to redevelop ringwood town and Andy works for me has worked tirelessly on putting those bids together as well and we are very very close to having the first part of it finished in the build which is a full-size 3g pitch and again that's crucial for the development of community activities and girls and women's program because of the weather that we have and so many matches being called off and only being able to play it on artificial pitches we we now own our artificial pitch which we hope will be open from mid-february and then we go for phase two which is the building of the new pavilion and changing rooms at ringwood and then updating and modernizing the car park so we can accommodate everything that we need to and with a hopefully a finish around uh november time of this year but for me so excited uh you know I say 20 years in a job and I'm still getting excited about a new venture and it's a new venture where we got our own facility we can decide what goes on there I can do even more community work now I can do even more girls and women's sessions if we can find some time but we will find that time because that's what we're passionate about in doing so it it allows us to be able to really shape and and drive it forward and I suppose you know again in reply to Zoe's earlier question can we expand and can we go and where's it going hopefully this will take us to another level as well now I'm going to ask you the same question that I asked you earlier about the community sports trust but I want you to put your women's hat on how do you think the new ownership can affect the women's side of the game we've heard Bill speaking about it you mentioned that he's been down already to watch under 14's training session again it must be hugely exciting yeah having the opportunity to speak to Bill I can see his passion for it I can see his passion for the women's football but women in sport and we had a great conversation and about what he would like to do with the women's team and you know we'll work together we'll work together on that and we'll work with Jim who's in post as well now to really drive that forward alongside Neil Blake and others to really kind of like push the women's game on and provide opportunities it's it's that's the key bit for me it's about providing opportunities we've done that with with our current setup but continuously trying to open up doors provide opportunities and let people reach their potential you know we've got some really good players within our when our girls and women's program we want them to fill their potential here at AFC Bournemouth and not feel that they need to move on to perhaps a super league club or higher perhaps our ambitions are to keep moving the club forward so they reach their ambitions as well Steve just give us a message for any AFC Bournemouth supporter who hasn't watched a women's game how much you want to see them down there yeah come along come along and watch them yeah you've heard a little bit now about their backgrounds and their commitment levels that they put into it they've got a huge amount of pride in playing for AFC Bournemouth they love wearing the shirt they love saying that they are AFC Bournemouth players they would love the support as well the support we get is fantastic we'd love to see even more of you come down that hopefully won't be disappointed you'll see some good football matches and competitive football matches and a team that is trying to play the AFC Bournemouth way and what I will say on that is all Bournemouth women's fixtures are available on fcv.co.uk entry is always free every Sunday two o'clock down at Ringwood here at Vitality Stadium wherever it might be I couldn't agree more it's a fantastic team to get behind Steve we've thoroughly enjoyed having you here on our podcast thank you so much for taking the time to come in talk to us

Addressing the participants, the general manager of the Lagos State Waterways Authority, LASWA, Oluwadami Lola-Imaniel chart passengers and operators to ensure safety while journeying on the waterways. Our correspondent, Love Ikuku Oyadokun, tells us more in this report. This capacity training is to ensure that these men who are living from working on waterways get to requisite knowledge on their operation. Speaking of the program, head of Marine, Lagos Airfield and National Inland Waterways Authority, engineer LZ Egwatu, commanding Wabuton for taking the initiative of occupying boat operators every year. Egwatu commanded the management for ablating his members on what is expected of them. Also speaking, the District Survey of the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Miimasa Patrick Ike expressed satisfaction and efforts of Wabuton in occupying boat operators in daycams with needed knowledge. He also said that the agency is set to begin the enforcement of biometric barcode on both operating around the country. The agency is set to begin the enforcement of biometric barcode on both operating and operating around the country. The agency is set to begin the enforcement of biometric barcode on both operating and operating around the country. Somebody to meet what he or she does not have. But when you enlighten them and engage them in all these kind of activities, they will know what to do. Onilada Minina Imano is the general manager of Lagos State Waterways Authority, last one. He was delighted that Wabuton has been consistent with training of boat operators, noting that it has led to a drastic reduction in the number of mishaps recorded in the states. On his part, the National President of Wabuton, Comrade Babatokme, said the fifth edition of the series of capacity building training is one way of ensuring that operators are constantly equipped. It's like a refresher. So what we have been doing before, you know, after the election, we don't have much time to do all this training. And you know, you need to retain your workers. That is why we arrange this training. Wabuton is committed to playing its role to develop in the water transport sector. This training is just one of the things we do. Why we emphasize the training is towards safety on the waterways. We've had a boat mishap and several agencies of the government at the state level, at the federal level, they've acknowledged the fact that this training has contributed to the reduction of boat mishaps on the waterways of Lagos State. They've disclosed that plans around the world to hold more trainings outside Lagos, perhaps in the northern parts of the country.

So here goes the problem there is a small m kept on a larger mass capital M. The length of capital M is small l alright. The coefficient of friction between small m and capital M is mu by 2 and coefficient of friction between capital M and the ground is mu okay. Here we need to find out how much time small m takes to cross the capital M right. Now what comes in your mind when you look at this problem. When we look at this problem the entire system is moving towards the right hand side right. It is moving with velocity v it just started. Now what is the direction of friction force on capital M. From the ground of course it is moving relatively forward. So from the ground there must be a friction in the backward direction on capital M right. What about friction between small m and capital M. Now small m was at rest initially and it has been pulled towards the right hand side because of the friction between capital M and small m. So that is the reason why friction force on small m will be forward direction. So now let us take one by one these two masses and we will represent all the forces and acceleration. If you take a small m mass what are forces will be applied on it. There will be a gravitation force right its value will be mg and there will be normal reaction between capital M and small m n1 right and then there will be a friction mu times n1. This force since this normal reaction is applied by capital M on small m the small m also applies normal reaction in opposite direction. So this will be a pair of n1. So this is n1 force right. There will be mg force downward on the bigger mass and there will be normal reaction from the ground on capital M okay. Now this friction force is applied by capital M on small m. So there must be a pair of this friction force on the left hand side. Let us call this mu times n1 okay. Now there will be another friction there will be another friction between capital M and the ground that friction force value will be mu times n2. So the coefficient of friction value between small m and capital M is mu by 2. So let us correct this. This is mu by 2 into n1 okay and similarly here it is mu by 2 into n1 okay. Now let us write down Newton's second law of equation for small m and capital M. At times what happens student get confused with the fact that velocity is given and they start to visualize in terms of velocity but you should remember the Newton's second law of equation is for the acceleration it is not for velocity right. There is no direct relation between instantaneous velocity and acceleration. Acceleration is rate of change of velocity okay. So if we write the Newton's second law of equation for small m along horizontal direction I will get it as mu by 2 and 1 is the only force along horizontal direction isn't it. This will be equal to mass time acceleration of small m fine and along vertical direction I will get n1 minus mg is equal to 0 since there is no acceleration in vertical direction alright. Now let us write down equation for capital M also along the horizontal direction what all forces you see. There is mu by 2 n1 force backward direction minus mu times n2 force right. This will be equal to mass time accession of capital M fine. So accession of small m will be in this way let us call this as a1 and for capital M accession is backward direction we are calling it as a2 okay. Along the vertical direction we will get mg plus n1 minus n2 is equal to 0 right. So we have four equations how many variables we have we have a1 a2 n1 and n2. So we can solve these four equations to get the value of a1 and a2. So now we can assume that we have the value of a1 and value of a2. Now the question says how much time it takes for this small m to topple from the capital M. Now if we see the motion of small m it goes from this end point number 1 and it must cross this point number 2 to topple over okay. So the total length it covers is l. Now is this length an actual length or it is a relative length compared to or with respect to capital M. It is a relative displacement right. What will happen the small m and capital M will move together with respect to capital M small m moves a distance of l fine and what is the acceleration along the length along the length it has acceleration a1 fine and capital M has acceleration backward direction which is a2. So net acceleration of approach from 1 to 2 is what? This one let us suppose is small m which is moving with a1 and this capital M is coming towards it with a2. So acceleration of approach is a1 plus a2. Let us call this as an. We will say that this is a net acceleration okay. Now initial velocity of approach is how much? We have seen that both have started moving together. This point number 1 and point number 2 both are going in this direction with same velocity. So their velocity of approach is 0. So initial velocity is 0 and displacement which is relative displacement since we are talking about relative variable is l. So which equation comes in mind to find the value of time? s equals to ut plus half at square right. So if I use s equal to ut plus half at square here and I substitute value of s as l, u as 0 and a as a1 plus a2 I will get the value of t okay. So this is how you solve the particular question. I hope now you feel comfortable in applying the basics on problem like these okay. So thanks for watching the video. We will come back with few more problem solving videos which will be testing you on different type of concepts okay.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZDVOc1iBJg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

And gentlemen, welcome to tonight's entertainment. What's going on, people? Glad to have you all here. Everything hopefully is working as it should. Things didn't want to start as they normally don't sometimes. So we are somewhat on time. Looks like we're off by three minutes, but that's all right. So I just had one of my favorite dudes in the world pop in here. So let's go ahead and add him here. What's going on, buddy? How's it going? Oh, not too bad. Getting some text messages from Laura. She wasn't feeling too great. Hot the live screen. Yes, you're live on my iPad. You're black. I should not be. Oh, I got to go. Hold on a second here. Got to go transition. If I can, the mouse is being played with. There we go. Boom. There we go. So we should have it there. I think it's working there. So we should be good. So not too bad, man. How about you? Good weekend. Didn't do much. Had a long week last week. Really? Yeah. End of the day on Friday, it stayed late to try to switch over a snowmelt control and hook it up as a zone system, two different controls. And it took a while because you had to rewire everything. Really? Because it was supposed to snow over the weekend, and then it didn't snow. So I stayed for no reason. Yeah, it was actually pretty nice. Yesterday, I think it was the 55 degree range. How was it there? Yeah, I mean, it was a little chilly yesterday. I could see how it rained quite a bit. So I could see why they were saying it was going to snow. Yeah. Yeah, it's not been bad here. I've been on call, and I had one call. I had to go run yesterday. It was at a factory. The water heater was getting up to 300 and some degrees. And they're like, somebody's going to get scalded. And I'm like, oh, OK. So I end up going out there, and it had two steam heat exchangers going into this 1943 or 48 big old monster, like probably 10 foot diameter, about probably 12 foot, 10 foot tall, big old water tank with these two monster steam plates going into it. And it had pneumatic controls open and closed in the valves. And basically, I've never been there before. So I was kind of going off the guy that usually is. And luckily, it worked out OK. It ended up just being some linkage on the valve that was off. So I videoed that, which they had the air dryer in there for the air compressor, which it was loud. You couldn't hear crap. It was pretty good and all. But that was the only call. So this was more like their sinks in that type of hot water? Yeah, they do food. And so they use it to clean the machinery and stuff like that to disinfect and things. So they usually run 140-ish area, but not 300, 200. So they probably have a much higher relief valve than. Well, that's what bothered me. I get there and I'm looking at the relief valve. And I mean, it's a monster. They don't have no tube on it going to the ground. So if it would release, it would have blown it all over my face. And I'm thinking, dude, I called the guy that usually takes them and said, this ain't cool, man. What's up with this? And he goes, is it temperature or pressure? I'm like, I have no idea. I have to get up on a ladder to frequency it. It's too high up. So I said, that needs to be fixed. I told their maintenance guys. And we tightened up the linkage to the valve. And everything seemed to be fairly OK after that. So I figured we'll get it another day. It's working now. So yeah, I want to say hi to some of the guys. Yeah, dead pixel. It was a while ago. We got her up and going. Blue collar, what's up, buddy? Thanks for stopping in. If you guys haven't seen his channel, he's got some really good production value out there. Blue collar biceps, I believe, is what it was called. I'm trying to find him on the screen here. But he's got a channel. He's got some pretty good information on there and stuff. So make sure you check him out. But why aren't you talking to the camera? That's why I had the screens where I did. I don't know why she don't come down here and just yell at me in person, you know? She wasn't feeling very good. So she didn't feel like doing it. Yeah, to remember, I'm trying to do things that I'm not usually doing. So she can direct you, which draws your attention off what you're trying to do anyway. At least look professional. And then it's like, oh, let me stop what I'm doing and talk to you. You've got to love it. So you've got to try this, man. It's fun. What's that? Doing it all by yourself. I do that every week. Oh, yeah? Yeah, those other losers aren't doing nothing, are they? Why do you keep looking down? Why does she have to be so judgmental? She's so judgmental. She don't realize that's what we're doing most of the time. Makes you look disinterested. Well, when I am not seeing all my controls in front of me, and why she wouldn't take that on when we are talking off airs beyond me, quite interesting. So anyhow. But yeah, it's one of those days I hadn't luckily had any calls today. So hopefully I don't have none. I'm done tomorrow morning. So I'll be all right with that. So how's it going out there, Rich, and HVAC master, and Jessica, and the chronic flute. She's got the chronic going on. Chris Young, Alexander. Who else we got going on out there? Chris Young. So thanks for stopping in, guys. I appreciate you coming in. So yeah, did two videos this week. Left one rip this morning, which was one I had from like July. There was only one good thing I felt as though in that video, but I hadn't gotten to record a whole lot this week. So I didn't have a lot new. So basically I've been holding on to it. I'm like, well, it's got some good information. It's kind of drawing out, unfortunately. And then the other one I did on Wednesday, which I'd have to even remember what it was about. So yeah, just one of them things. So you, did you have anything going on this weekend that you did? No, not at all. We had the in-laws over today. So that was fun. But yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we're getting kind of geared up for that. See if I can get over to my thing. There we go. The no-cooling and the Manitowoc Ice Machine. OK, yeah. You know, it's funny, because sometimes you got to try to remember what it is you did. You're supposed to have notes and stuff. And sometimes I just don't do that. We wing it here. That's the way I roll. Manitowoc Ice Machine. So yeah, that was a really nice machine. It was pretty clean. Did you get a check-in to have them out or anything? I did not watch anything. I did not watch much of YouTube whatsoever this week. I don't blame you. If I wasn't stuck here, I probably wouldn't have either. But I watched pretty much everything I shouldn't be watching that either depresses you or one way or the other. You know, it's like I got to get away from some of this crap. It just kind of gets old after a while. So. I would just beat every night this weekend. I would just kind of, I don't know, veg it out. Yeah. Yeah. Late nights. Did a boiler kind of re-piping the near boiler piping this week. It was a big boiler. We took out almost a 300,000 cast iron. So. And it's cold. So you got to try to get the new one in and piped and working so they have heat in their house and everything. Yeah. How big was that? Almost 300,000 that was in the house. We downsized it significantly, though. I think we went down to almost a 200. About 200 down. Yeah. Yeah, it was like the old thumb method. We'll judge it from the roadway about what size we need. 500,000 out of take care of it. I mean, just. I think the one that we put in is actually oversized as well, too, but the thing is when you have big, you know, main loops or like mains in the basement, right? It takes a while to heat that water up. So we had three two inch zones running off with three different pumps. And the only thing I was worried about is like how quickly it would heat up the water in each zone. I'm not worried about, you know, I think we could have easily gotten by with like 120,000 for the house or 150,000. But it's like every time you turn on the thermostat, you know, if it's in setback or whatever else, you're going to wait 40 minutes for all the water and the loops to heat up. I don't know. Were they just like open and closed zone valves or circulator pumps? How was it watered up? Circulator pumps. So like one for each zone area. So like multiple bowls or what? Yeah, three. I mean, yeah. So the boiler just stayed hot all the time then? Or was it a high efficiency one? No, it was cast iron. It was, you know, the old, the old one would heat up like liquidy split. But you know, that's why we only brought it down to almost a 200,000, just because I wanted to make sure it would heat up quick enough. So the new one was cast iron, too. Yep. OK, cool. Yeah, but I've had fewer. You size it kind of for the house. And you have big pipes, you know, two and a half inch pipes or whatever. And then you're just sitting there and the thing's running. And it's running. And it's running. And the temperature of the water is just slowly creeping up forever. You know what I mean? So yeah, once it's hot, you're good. But getting to that point, I don't know, could take some time. It's one of those things where you're like, I can't send this thing back now that I've installed it. I hope I got the right size. Yeah. You got to love it. They're slowly trickling in. I mean, it's quite as busy as what we normally are. It's getting there. Got a few new ones. They're all getting this white. What's that? I know. It's on it. Honestly, I think that's what I'm going to find out. If we don't get much above 40, we'll know it's all her. And I'll just freaking not do it no more and let her do it. So she was down here getting, doing some recordings for her grandma's nursing home or whatever and was kind of playing with my mixer and was running things through the computer and stuff and was going to record some stuff for them so they could play it for Christmas and stuff. And that's what she was down here doing earlier. So, yeah. Yeah, we can take calls or whatever. We can do that here in a little bit or what have you. She's like, you need to do some calls and stuff. Like, yeah. I'll give it that plug in there that way. We can do it through there if we're going to do it that way. It sounds the best as it did at all. Of course, I've got like, I thought you used to be able to like log out of Facebook and it's like nonstop. Boom, boom, boom, it'll vibrate, vibrate, vibrate. It's kind of crazy. Too many things turned on, I think, so what's going on? Yeah, turn off all your notifications. I, but see, if I turned it on airplane mode, it would turn off the phone. That wouldn't work. And I'd have to sign out of everything, which I don't know how easy that would be. It's kind of like just close everything. Junk, so. But yeah, it's just one of them weeks. I wasn't real, real hip happening tonight, honestly. So I thought, well, we'll at least come on for a little while. If things work out great, we'll do it. And if not, we'll wrap it up early. We'll kind of leave it play in the viewers' hands here, whether or not they've got anything for us to kind of keep us going there because I always kind of enjoy talking to them. Anyhow, so we'll see if we get anything coming in here. Don't look like there's a whole lot coming in for me. There's the woman. So she obviously wants me to answer this. Let's bring that up to there. Yes? I'd like to order pizza, please. What kind of pizza do you want? Anything without pineapple. Okay, well, we don't serve anything without pineapple. So what else would you like? Would you like a toy Nerf gun? No. Okay. Well, that's kind of weird. What? You've got your computer turned up, so it's starting to re-loop back through your phone. I know, I just took it. I just turned it back down. How are you doing, Adam? Excellent. How's the COVID going? Oh, just delightful. I get to go back to work tomorrow. Nice. Yeah. Finally. Working from home sucks. She don't like hanging out with the dogs. They tend to drive her crazy all day. They do. My grumpy pug, which is back there right now, he demands a bone and he will not go away until you give him a bone. He's pretending he's not paying attention, but he's definitely paying attention. So he's been a little pain. So someone wants to know how do you size an expansion valve? How do you size an expansion valve? I would say you look at the chart. I mean, it's going to have a chart there for it. I mean, it's going to be tuned on what type of refrigerant you're using, what you're using it for, refrigeration, air conditioning, stuff like that. I mean, that's generally what we do is just go through the charts and stuff. Oh, speaking of which, J.D., you need to call in because I know Adam helped you with that problem you were having, and maybe you could explain that problem you talked about last week. You could explain it to everybody because I'm sure everybody's dying to know what happened. What problem was that? I don't recall. J.D. was asking, oh, it was about his, I don't remember what unit it was. Was it that train unit? I think that you guys are talking him through. Yeah, I think he, Adam was helping him with that part. Yeah. I'm just curious to see whatever happened with that. I don't remember where I had for dinner last night. You're asking me what we talked about last week on the show? Yeah, he said he'll call in and make a show awkward again, so I'm gonna let you guys go so that way J.D. can call in, and you guys can all be awkward together. I don't even know what my phone number is. I have to wait. I posted it. I took care of it. Well, see, I don't have that thing pulled up because if I don't have it pulled up, then... Okay, well, then get it pulled up there. Okay, Chuck. Okay, I'm gonna hang up with you there, Chuck. I gotta find out what it was even called, so... It's called Google Phone. No, it's called Voice. Okay, well, there you go. I'm glad I got help. Yeah, now it's up and going. Okay, all right, bye. Bye. See you. See, we need call screeners. That's what we need. I think that's definitely a thing you're gonna need if you're gonna do call-ins and stuff, so... Looks like I don't see that she posted somewhere in the chatter. I guess she did 937-589-3780 on your hit line, so... Craziness, craziness. Stump the HVAC technician, where the HVAC answer man. So, I got a lot of conversations going on out there. It looks like, core now. So, it wasn't a whole lot. I'm sorry. I was just gonna tell you a story about today. Sure, go ahead. I had a customer call me today, which she's not like a regular customer. It's like one of the rich areas. I don't know if you deal with this at all, but there's a couple of different areas where we have guys that are handlers for customers that they call us instead of the customers calling us. It's kind of a weird situation. Where they have a relationship with someone they trust and they just have them get them done everything they need done. Exactly. Yup. So, he called me and she called me and they never called me, which is weird. So, I answer and she said, she was trying to bleed her radiators on the third floor and she opened up the bleed valve and she said, a lot of water shot out everywhere and I'm like, what, what? Hold on. So, I come to sort things out that she realized that she didn't have enough pressure upstairs to bleed anything out, which is kind of smart on her behalf. It's like, you know, a lot of techs wouldn't understand that because there's not air coming out. So, instead of her pressure-reducing valve feeding, she doesn't have the FB32 or it's the, whatever the one is, without the quick fill. So, there's a bi-fit. Yeah. So, she opened the bypass and then she said, well, I closed it and then the relief valve tripped everywhere and I'm trying to think, hmm, that's odd. And I'm walking her through it and I'm asking her about the expansion tank. Does it feel like it's full if you knock on it? I don't know. And then did you shut off the bypass when you went upstairs to bleed it? Yeah. So, I talked to the guy, you know, the handler. I said, go over there. And she did this twice. And I'm like, is she looking at the right pressure gauge when she's doing this? And he's like, she said she's been doing this for 30 years. She knows what she's doing. I'm like, just get the thing to 15 PSI with the bypass and then go upstairs and bleed it. He did. He's like, on the fall of me for like 25 minutes. Yeah, it's running fine. It's just staying at 15 PSI. So, he was arguing me. He's like, the relief valve's bad. I'm telling you, the relief valve's bad. I'm like, eh, I don't know. I've never seen a boiler empty out with the relief valve being bad. Usually it just like pisses out on the floor a little bit, you know, if the relief goes bad. Or trips a little too early or something or don't reset. But I mean, even then it doesn't like nonstop type thing. Right. Thanks, Rich. I don't know why, but it's like you can't respond on the stream labs unless you sign in. And I'm not really sure how you sign in. And in the stream yard one, it's not even showing up there. So it's like, OK, I hate to click on sign in to try to figure that out. I'm not even sure where it would sign in at, honestly. So, I may have to visually or audibly respond to you guys because I, unless I go through my phone or something, so, which I guess I could do. So you're going to send her a bill for that? Or are you just going to be a good generous guy? No. I was just trying not to go there, because it was an hour away. Yeah, that sucks. See if we can kill that back down. Yeah, that's kind of, yeah, that kind of makes it difficult to see go to your channel. Go to this one here. Of course, I'll have to pause this thing. There's pause. Now I can respond. There we go. Yep, not a word. Cool. Wow, I have 560 zip screws. That's cool. What are you going to do with them all? I don't know. What do you do with them? Screw some shit, I guess. I guess. I don't hardly use them as much as I used to. Now it's all freaking, I use more quarter inch freaking refrigerant stems. I do anything. I did get a new tool, finally. Since we canceled our Christmas party, they gave us like 200 bucks to spend on whatever we want in addition to the money they already gave us. So I have kind of been spending it on my own pocket through the year. So I've had this accumulation of money. So I ordered the Hillmore expander, and I added the quarter inch copper, the quarter inch adapter to it, so I could do quarter inch copper expansion. And it says in instructions that it will not split or does not split. And then even if you have some problems, just do it halfway, release it, rotate it a little bit, and redo it. I made probably 15 or 20 of them freaking expansions and all maybe three or four split. So I'm going to be giving TrueTech tools a call tomorrow, asking them what to do. Sometimes I do it three times. I release it three times, sometimes even four times. Like three A's, like if you're doing seven A's, I just go all the way. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah, anything bigger seem fine. Or you have to move it around. Well, you know, I was experimenting, and I ended up taking my hand torch and warmed up the quarter inch. And then I almost could go full bore without slowing down at all. And then it worked good, because I really don't want to send it back. I've got the spin swedges, and that's what I've been using all along. And then I thought, well, I'm using a bunch of scrap copper here, maybe this copper's hardened. So I'll try to get some newer stuff off the truck. And I made some little couplings and things like that. And those kind of split a little bit too. And basically, it was kind of like, this sucks, because I've been wanting this thing forever. And my god, delivered even with the small picture discount, I mean, you're still looking at like 412 bucks. That's a lot of freaking money. When my spin swedge for $89 does all of them from quarter all the 7s. Does it the spin do quarter? Yeah. Yeah, it does. I have the record seal. I don't remember how low. I've only used it a handful of times. One thing I have to say about the spin or record seal whatever, the swedges are nice. For 3 1⁄8, they're like nice and very deep. Yeah, I like the deep. As opposed to the high end quarter, super shallow. You've got to be careful with them, you know? Yeah, I'm a little kind of disappointed, because I mean, I have the Hillmore bender. And when I looked at all of them, that was the one everyone said had the least problems. And I have problems with some copper, but I think it's the poor quality copper. Seems like those line sets have that non-rip insulation. It's like they put the money in the insulation and cheapened up on the copper. And I'll get little ripples in the 90s sometimes. But otherwise, if you have some high quality copper, it seems to do really sweet on it. Even 7⁄8 will do a nice perfect 90. So, you know, when I was looking at them, I kept comparing it to the Navac has one, Blackmax, CPS has got one. And I looked at that I Swiss or whatever it is, and it was like, well, you know, I'm gonna have a better resale value with the Hillmore. They've got the most heads. It goes all the way up to two and a quarter or something like that, which when in the world are you gonna actually use that? So I thought, you know, you're gonna have to, any copper that big is gonna be hard coppers. It's gonna have to be softened anyway. So it's like, well, so I got playing with the, like I said, the quarter inch, I experimented it. I thought, well, I'll just go ahead and warm up like three inches of it and I'll do multiples and see if it, you know, does it only work perfect when it's hot still? Or did I change the molecular structure of the copper after I heated it up and then it'll work fine after that. So it seemed like it still did pretty good. But yeah, I did the, you know, I reamed it out really good. And then, you know, I kind of wiggled it into the hole. So it got in there. And then I went, you know, I kind of went slow. I went super slow. I went fast. I tried all different kinds of ways. And I just noticed sometimes, you know, you look inside there and it's all rough inside there from like where you de-bird it and everything else. I was a little bit, I'm like, dang, do I send it back or do I keep it? Cause it's like, I do more quarter inch swedges than I do anything because I'm, you know, for the refrigerant taps for when I chop off, you know, the suction line tap and I put it on there cause I like this best cause I braze on. And you're going to come down here, are you? Well, you're going to come in here in her pajamas. So yeah, she says if you suck, so she's coming on. So yeah, that's great. But yeah, it's kind of like, well, there we go. Well guys, here you go. Now I know why you guys are really here. So she's here now. Pajamas and all. Yep, yep. So, huh? Take care of your coat. Yeah. So we're at 49. So let's watch this. It'll probably freaking jump up to 70 something here for a long bunch of one bit. Got the freaking dog's ears in it. So, but yeah, I was kind of like, so you've got that tool then, the Hillmore? Yeah, I get the Hillmore. So did you buy any of the extra heads or just the ones that came with it? No, I just have the three eighths through seven eighths. I'm kind of thinking about ditching it though, like not ditching it all around, but I'm thinking about just using the spin for a while. Well, that makes me feel really great. And just, that makes me feel really great cause I just spent all that money on it. I mean, I've been using the Hillmore and before that, prior to that, I had the old hand crank yellow jacket. I've been using that for probably both of those for 15 years. And I'm just kind of sick. The only reason why I want to stop using it is cause I'm sick of carrying so much crap around. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I still have my yellow jacket from mid 90s and it's wedges and flares. And honestly, that thing works perfect. And I felt kind of like, you know, when I bought that CPS or I think it's CPS, no, it's black. I forget that orbital flare tool I've shown before, that thing does a little bit better flare because it's orbital versus a traditional straight down. And I bought that one for a good price on eBay and stuff. And so I felt like, man, now I'm carrying two of them and I hardly ever use that yellow jacket, but that yellow jacket, you know, it freaking works when I need it. So if I have a weird situation where I don't have the right size, that thing has got all the sizes there. And so now with the spin swedge, I mean, yeah, there was times it kind of sucked because like anything small, I usually had to chuck it up into a block to hold it cause it's too hot and it would spin on me. And then sometimes the swedges would like go at a little bit of a funky angle. You know, not that nobody cares, but you know, it's like, eh. So I, that's why I thought, well, maybe I'll go ahead and get that because I was looking at all different things and it's like, well, I could buy a TIG welder. I don't know if they'd let me use my money for that. I found one I kind of wanted to get, but I was like, eh. So I don't know, I got it, they said it was gonna be five to 10 days and I got it by Friday. And I got the other thing that just came in stock. I got that in like the next day, which is pretty surprising how quick. So one thing that I've, with any of the regular, you know, expander tools like the, the old yellow jacket with the red handle or the Hilmar, what I've noticed is when you're using the small size, like the three eighths, if you have it, if you don't have everything supported exactly pro, you know, properly and you start brazing, what happens is it starts annealing the copper and it starts kind of almost falling out of the joint. So you have to pretty much make sure you support, if you're, especially if you're doing vertical, like all of, you know, each pipe very well. So it doesn't start like falling out. Just because I think the hub on the swedge is fairly small, you know. Yeah. That and it just looks kind of thin. So I figured what I'll end up having to do is probably braze over the outside of it as an extra precaution to strengthen the walls is what I was thinking I may end up having to do, which kind of sucks. I mean, I end up going balls the wall on the three eighths and it seemed to do fine. But I mean, you could tell it kind of like had a little bit of that octagon look to it, but you know, that one's not so bad. I think just one rotation and you'll be fine with it. I split, I split three eighths all the time with it. Really? Not gonna lie. Like sometimes I'm like, oh, I don't split one. I'm like, I'm not gonna move it. I'm just gonna go for it with three eighths that I sure should I split it. And those are the two sizes that's got the disclaimers on there, the quarter and the three eighths. And what I thought was funny was I thought, well, I'm gonna go online and look at all the different videos on it. And almost everything's seven years old. There's a couple or like three or four years old. And I'm thinking, okay, you guys are saying that without splitting it, blah, blah, blah, ours is the best, blah, blah, blah. And you know, it's just like, well, you guys are obviously lying a little bit. That I Swiss or what have you, that thing I swear is a total clone of it. Yeah, Ray, I just used my hand torch and just I didn't get it rosy red or nothing like that. I literally was on it probably for 10 seconds at the most and it worked great. And I thought, well, you know what, chances are I'm probably gonna be having my torch there with me when I'm gonna do that anyhow because that's obviously why I'm swudging it. So whether I use my real torch or my hand torch I can heat up just a little bit for, you know, overall I think it'll work out great but because I do a lot of little miniature couplings and stuff like that when I chop out a dryer or whatever. So I don't know. Every time I try to get something new, I end up sometimes going back to the old things. Who knows? Well, you got a couple extra people there just because you're back. I feel special now. Yep, you're real special, babe. Yeah. Well, she didn't wanna do it. And I was like, well, they're waiting for you. You gotta do it. And then I went and got the pizza which didn't have no pineapple on it but you set still. So yeah. You guys got any questions on any of the videos I did here recently? The ice machine or anything? Or is most everybody mainly do HVAC or what do we got going on out there? Cause it gives us something to kind of discuss what have you. Had a few different things. Whether or not I checked the starting amperage after I put the hard start on which that little booster thing like I've disclaimed in the video it's just a generic one the place, you know they usually are very particular about what they spend on things. And basically they're convention computer guys so they kind of do a lot of research and kind of figure it all out on their own type deal. So it, yeah. They, I don't know. The whole thing's very tight budgeted. So I was looking for the easiest way to do that without I'm gonna put her down. She's driving me nuts. Eli? Yeah. They'll come down here and sit there. So, yeah. So you got anything major planned for tomorrow? I don't know yet. We might have an air handler to change but that might be interesting cause it's one of these little short old Bryant's 30 summits all Bryant. So that's gonna be fun to try to make it work with a new air handler. Is it a residential unit or? Yeah. Attic basement? It's like a outside closet for a condo. I always loved working on those in the winter time. You half time leave the door open so you freeze a death wire service in it. Gotta love it. Yeah. JD, I buy tools sometimes quite often. Lately, I can't think of anything to buy. I still have another $110, $20 to spend yet. So I'm trying to think of something I might be needing. I pretty much am happy with my bag. I pretty much got all new cutters and things like that. So I just really haven't thought of anything in particular. Maybe a new GPS or something. But, what? She's taken over the bed so he's vacated. That's why I told you he was coming down here. Dave says I should put a pain unit back in. I'm wondering is the newer pain and Bryant models as short as the old, old air handlers? I mean, pain and carrier are gonna be the same thing. Right, but I'm wondering, it's a Bryant, the old one, but it's like probably 30 years old. The one that's there is like 34 inches tall. So it's a GM. That's pretty small. Yeah, that's why I think a fun one. I think they got some smaller ones. I mean, obviously I don't do a bunch and lately I've not been doing much service on the Resi, but they've got some smaller ones. I mean, where it's just the blower and the coil. And I would say it's probably somewhere in that ballpark. So yeah, probably 30 something to 42-ish, something like that. But we need, you gotta put a heat strip on it. Yeah, but that'll be in the same spot. I mean, most of them I've always seen just have an empty blank spot there. You just gotta take the panel thing off. Anything you looking just for a basic one? Yeah, nothing special. Yeah, yeah, I would say you probably get it no problem. Tools are a waste of money if you can't be fixed with an eight-in-one. I don't like the eight-in-one. I really like my 11-in-one best, even though I like having the dedicated quarter and five-sixteenths, but I'm not happy with that one. I liked my old one, which I have it still, but you know, what else do we got? We got a few different things. What type of tools do you use? What type of tools do your employer provide you or add them? What do you provide your employees? My new helper, I told him I was gonna give him a hundred and something, $150 a month towards tools. And he has never asked for anything. I bought him a veto bag and he's never like tried to do, you know, buy anything, give me receipts. So the other day we were at a supply house. I'm like, do you need this? Do you need this? I start going through all the tools. He's like, no, I have it. I have it. I'm like, okay, do you have receipts? No. Okay, cool. Well, you're paying him too much then. We get 500 for our tool allowance, which I've never worked anywhere that gave us that. The best we ever got was we'll replace it if it was broke and we get to dictate things even though they usually didn't. And so, I mean, far as the tool thing, it's pretty cool. Far as what they provide for me, they give me the truck and they give me a recovery machine, a vacuum pump. It's the first place I've ever worked that gives me a weight scale, which I've got. You know, I've got my own, I got two vacuum pumps. I've got my own nitrogen gauge, my own torches. I've got all that stuff, but if they're gonna provide it, I'm gonna wear out their stuff before I wear out mine. But they've, they've read the torches, the nitrogen regulator, which the one I use in the videos, the field piece vacuum pump, all that crap's mine. They just gave me a basic regulator, the vacuum pump, that older JB one. It's a very basic one with no gas ballast. They provide that. What else is there? Now, far as our shop, I mean, we could start a rental mart. I mean, we have everything under the sun. I mean, we have probably seven or eight lifts. We've got genies. We've got our own crane. We've got welders. We've got everything. I mean, we could start a rental mart. We have every tool under the sun that you might want. I mean, it's like the boss has been looking for things to spend money on. And I mean, we've got every tool under the sun if you need it. So you don't have to buy fancy things. I mean, they've got it if you want to use it. So, yeah. Yama's here. Yama, what up dog? You need to show him. Show who? They're sleeping. No, they're not. They're running around. Eli, come here. This is for you, Yama. This is the grumpy one, Eli. He's very grumpy. Here, move your mic. There you go. He's very grumpy. Say hi to him. Yeah, this one's the grumpy butt. He's the one that's got the disformed paws and got back issues. And then the other one down there, he's the year older one, but usually he's in good shape. Here, Pudgy. He's the little heavier one, Yama. He's thick. Yeah, very thick. But he's the one with all the good paws. He just isn't as pretty as Eli, but he's smart. He's a very good boy. He never does anything wrong. So then the Frenchie, she's a little mean one. She'll beat the other, she'll beat up Eli. She's not very nice to him. She'll bite his ear. They'll nearly kill each other, so. Pugsley lets her do it, so that's for Yama. Wow, talking about the Pug has got a 62 people. Yeah. Amazing. Screw HVAC. Let's talk about dogs. You need to take some calls. Okay. If you guys want to call in, our phone lines are open. Do it. We're going to, you know, we're gonna keep our calls short. That way we don't bore nobody out there, so don't be offended if we try to rush you off and stuff after a short time. Or you could just do multiple people like you did last time. Yeah, to a point. So the number. I already posted it. She posted it, so if you guys want to call in and ask some questions or tell us how your day's going or how your Christmas or COVID or whatever's been going, 937-589-3780. So, what else we got there? Ryan Huseman had a question for you. Yeah. He said he worked on a unit with corner ground power supply last week. Have you ever read into that? And if so, could you give him some insight on it? Tips and such. Corner ground. No idea. Probably should plug my computer in. Might be a good idea there. That's why she was acting a little glitchy. It slows down the processor. That's out of my league. Yeah, well, this thing is a power hungry hog. So if it's not plugged in, you can't really edit a video with it. And it'll start stuttering. That was why she was acting stuttery earlier. And now I know. When you say corner ground, are you talking like a Delta Y or a Y Delta type thing? Or I never heard corner ground. Why don't you call us, Huseman? You've got the number. Yeah. Call in. Yeah, Ray. Around here from the union guys, I know that anything that doesn't fit into a 14 inch toolbox the union has to provide. So it's kind of an interesting thing. Chris was asking, you have your own crane question mark? Yeah. Yeah, we got our own crane. I forget how many ton it is, but it's one like a, looks like a big truck with a big old boom on it. And I don't, I forget the specs on it. We got, you know, that we got, we got four wheel drive lifts. We got regular little lifts. We've got all kinds of different stuff. I mean, it's, it's pretty crazy. I mean, this guy is a good business person. So I mean, he's really invested well. I mean, it's, it's pretty crazy. So his son's our vice president now. There's somebody right there. Let's bring him on. What do you think of low water cutoffs? The digital ones? If you want to protect your boiler, right? Yeah, we got them every now and again. So let's, let's take the call line here. Who do we have on the phone? Ray Rick, it's Ryan. What's up, Ryan? So what are you talking about? How you doing, man? Not too bad. Well, it was good, good. There's a three phase 240 volts in the disconnect. When I opened it up, two of the, two of the legs were fused. The other leg was grounded directly to the disconnect, you know, on the, you know, the ground log. And between each leg, 240 volts. So I called the guy that was working on it before me and said, be real careful with this system. It's a corner ground, Delta T. So I briefly did some Googling and I didn't really tell me much. So basically what I ended up doing at the end of the day was locking out the breaker down in the store. But I've never seen it before. I've heard of it. I've always heard it called corner ground. But basically one of the legs was grounded and hot. So what I can only assume is that, but the thing that got me was I couldn't pick it up with, you know, that grounded leg to ground, I wasn't getting zero volts. I was just curious if you've ever run into that or... We've had high legs where, you know, when you check to ground, you know, you might have 120 some volts on each leg, but on the one leg, what are you doing? That's my high leg. Yeah, that's nasty on bottom. So the, where the one leg might be 100 and I forget what it is, actually it might be like 200 volts. It's high. I mean, it's real high voltage. And if you aren't careful, like we had, there was a person wants that, you know, it was three phase box and he just moved the breakers down one notch on the single, you know, 120 volt circuits. And he switched one of the 120 volt circuits to that leg and blew the appliance up where, you know, you're fine between leg to leg, but you're not talking that. No, this is three phase. How can it be grounded? I don't know. It can't be. I don't know. It is. I wish I'd have gotten some video of this. So like the breaker is a three phase breaker? Yes. The breakers three phase. And when I shut it off, I, you know, cause I was like very leery at us. I marked all the disconnects, caution, corner ground is what I was told. And when I Googled it, there's plenty of stuff there. I've, you know, done some research here on the weekend, but I had a busy weekend. And I just figured you're a lot smarter than me. I figured maybe you'd run into that and see what you had thought about it. It just don't make sense. Cause I mean, if it's grounded, it's grounded. So how did you get to measure that leg? If it was grounded, you'd have no differential. Well, with power on and the disconnect pulled, I have power between leg one and leg two, leg one and leg three, which is grounded. And what also was weird was everything in the unit, you know, that was tied to that leg would look like it was short of the ground. I thought my blower motor is bad. And I pulled all the wires out of the blower motor. I tested, but you know, the wires at the blower motor not grounded. I thought the transformer was shorted to ground, but it wasn't. Once I pulled that wire off of that grounded leg and it's three fakes. And this unit had a bad compressor. That's what I was there to do. Now, what happens when you measured at the breaker, at the breaker box? Is all legs equal and to ground? Yes. And in between them, they're all the same, 230, 240-ish area? I've never seen it. You know, I've been doing this a while. I've never run into it. Let me tell you, it made me real nervous. That's why I just killed the power of the whole unit. Contactors replaced. I just looked up at a couple of different websites. There's stuff about it, calling corner ground. Corner grounded C-phase, where it shows A to B to ground would be 240 or C to grounded zero. It's weird. It's nothing I ever saw. It made me real nervous. I clearly marked everything on that roof. I was talking to the guy. He's like, be careful with that. I was like, why didn't you mark it? Yeah. I'll have to do some research on that. I haven't had that around here. Yeah, that's my big question for today. Yeah, you got me on that one. Saving it. Yeah. Saving it. I was waiting for you. Snapped it off in my turnbine. I have no idea. I've never run into it. And let me tell you, I was a little eerie to go sticking my fingers in there, even with the disconnect pull, because only two of the legs were refused, or disconnected. And I don't understand it. Yeah. That's all. Yeah, I'll have to look it up. I'm sure there's something on YouTube. There's always something on YouTube. Yeah. This is one of those days I was like, man, I wish I would have gotten some video at this. Yeah. But I didn't. Yeah, I know that feeling. That was like this week I recorded. Some of the things I was doing this week was like putting parts on and stuff. And it was like either, I didn't record the first half of it. So it's like, okay, I'm just coming back and throwing on a start component, or something stupid. And it's like, this'll make a very good video. And so that's why I've kind of like, these last two have been things that I've had set on my computer that I just wasn't happy with, but I had to have something because I'm trying to keep on schedule. And I'm, sucks. I enjoyed the last couple of videos. And that's what I wondered if, you know, because everybody's got different feelings and opinions on things of what, you know, is interesting to them. So I'm very judgmental of myself. And it's like, well, nobody will want to see this. And then, you know, they end up liking it or something. So it's like, well, that was one of those weirdo things where I had this on another call that was a commercial app. And they had that same flipping disconnect breaker box, which I always kind of liked them because it gave a little extra protection. Yet it was still a breaker. But when I pulled it off, it had the same freaking problem behind there too. And if I remember right, it actually made me misdiagnose something because of it, because I didn't know it. Yet my voltages and stuff looked fairly fine. And it's like, well, now I keep an eyeball. I wonder if that's just the design flaw in those, the way they connect in the back. It's hard to see from the video, but, you know, with it being all burn up in the back. It's the same thing you'd see in a normal square D box, the QO. Yeah, they're just, you know, the bar and then the little spread apart wings. I mean, honestly, I think the home line actually has a better grip on it than what the freaking QO does, even though the QO is supposed to be better. So, I don't know. Whatever. I enjoyed the video. It was that ice machine. I always, whenever I get ice, I always give it a glance before I put the soda in there. Usually you can't tell, though. That's the only thing it's kind of interesting. It's like, I'm trying to think at that place there where that one was at. I think, I've been to a couple of them where I knew that I hadn't serviced it for a long time. And it's like, I always drink water most of the time when we go out just because, you know, the less calories. And it's like, I know the, you know, it's like, I don't want warm water. So it's like, screw it. I'm just going to drink it, whatever. I just not think about it. It'll build up your immune system there. And it's not like the pipes are clean coming from the city. I mean, you know, that's, you know, old piping. So it's going to be, it's going to be nasty. You know, fish are peeing in the water anyway. So what's it matter? All right, man. Well, thanks. I'm going to do some research on that, too. Do a video on it. Let me know if I find that. Maybe you can get a freaking, put out a little bulletin board and stuff and maybe you'll teach her by something. Yeah. Might save somebody's life. You never know. So that'd be cool, man. Well, that's why I, that's why I wanted it marked at least. I was like, hey, the very least you could have wrote on this, you know, but anyway, all right guys, I'm going to just watch the show now. Have a good evening. All right, man. Have a good night. Thanks. Yep. See ya. Bye. So yeah, that's an interesting one. Never claimed to be 100% Mr. Know it all by any stretch of the imagination guys. I haven't heard of that one before. I think it also might have something to do with old city and new city type thing. We don't have that ever. Tripped the breaker. That's what I don't understand. Oh, mine or his? Not his. That's what I'm wondering. I don't, did he even have a problem or does it? I thought it was just he got his attention drawn to it that it, to be careful because it was something weird or something. I think he said what the problem was. You know, that's what. Yeah, I got focusing on it and wasn't 100% absorbing everything. Who was that Ray? That was Ryan from Huse Man. Yep. I'm kind of curious, Ray. Why don't you call in? You know, you've been a long time watcher. The phone number is there. I wouldn't mind talking to you and a couple of other guys that's been around for quite a while as viewers and stuff. It'd be kind of interesting to hear your voices. So, Laura can run it again there, 937-589-3780. So, if you want to call in on that, that'd be cool. Grounded micromanic. What's that? I'm here. Here what? Here. Share. Share. How do you see it? Oh, I'm sorry. Not understanding this. Okay, I'm trying to get down to it here. She's moving the mouse. I'm not touching it, you are. This mouse moves and you cause my thing to move. See, it's moving again. Add to the stream. There it is. And is that big enough for people to see? Because it's gonna get. Yeah, that's all the bigger it can get. So, macromatic phase monitor relay provides the same reliable protection on the corner ground of Delta systems. Okay, so there, okay. I have seen something weird like this before. How can you do that? Huh. Yeah, that is a really odd one. It makes you always wonder, why did they choose to do that? Dealing with it, otherwise floating out. I was reading on another website where it said this is very common in industrial and older systems for commercial. You know what though, they're saying implemented by ground in any one of the three phases of the transformer secondary corners to Delta. Delta's still gonna be on the live side of things. So is it, but yeah, it's going down to the actual ground symbol. Huh. In order to apply the phase monitor relay in any type of installation, it's important to realize that. The guys in the chat saying it's like bonding a transformer. Yeah. Does that help any? I guess, because, but a transformer has like a common and a hot. That's all three legs are hot. Even though, yeah. Because there's no neutral, not really. So I don't know. That's interesting. Very interesting. Well, I wouldn't, yeah. Chris Young is saying you should ask Mr. Clive, big Clive, he would be a good one. I just don't understand how it wouldn't trip the breaker. I don't either. It would have to have some sort of load or something. That's why I'm wondering, but since it's got the ground symbol there, I'm gonna say that it's gotta be going straight to ground, which unless it's isolated, what? What was that called again? A float? What was it, a bonding ground? What kind of ground? Corner? Corner ground. You gonna call Clive up, are you, and ask him? No, someone else. Clive, don't watch me. I'm too small. I ain't at your level yet, Adam. It's okay, Ian. It's all right. Never turn your wires together before wiring them. Let the wire nut do the job and it'll be more solid. No, I disagree with that. Na-sim-i-na-ja, whatever it is. Yeah. You know what sucks about this stupid app is it doesn't tell me what video they're referring to, so sometimes I'm thinking it's the newest video and it's not. And then trying to go back through and find the comment to match it to the video so you know which one they're talking about makes it difficult sometimes. A three-faced adult with a high leg is a crown in between the phases. I could see that, understand that, possibly. Yeah. I don't know, stump me. All this is over my head. I'm not sure on that. I mean, on some stuff I'm pretty decent at, but that there, that's always kind of weird and I've always kind of wondered on certain things why they do certain things that they do. Was it just they had a leftover transformer? Why did they choose to do it? I guess sometimes it don't bother me enough to find out. So, well, sir. Oh, that's cool, Rich. What else we got? Where's, what's his name? He always seems to have something. You know, it'd be interesting if old throttle bottle was on here. He always seems to know a little bit about everything. He would probably know. Samuel, what's going on? I haven't seen you for a while. So, yeah, it's just kind of crazy. What else is new in life here? Trying to think. You ready for Christmas? Or did we talk about that yet? Whether or not you were going to get a family thing going on this year? Are you guys going to stay separated? We're staying separated. How about you guys? Well, since we've had it, my dad acts like he's a superman. He's not worried about it. So we'll probably go ahead and do something, I guess. My kids are 19 and 21. So, you know, they should be fine if they get it. So I'm not too worried about it. But who knows? I was watching some things today on it and I was like, eh, there was this couple of people that were in pretty good health and stuff and they're healed now, so to speak, but her hair's falling out several months later. One other guy now is, he's like 49. He's got, you know, he's having problems getting his breath. He's like weaker and he's got brain fog and all this other crazy crap. And I was curious, I asked her. I said, you know, I haven't worked out for a while. I'm gonna see how many push-ups I can do. And I was like three short of what I was doing like four months ago. So I'm not like winded or nothing like that, but I do still have the stupid cough, but so it's kind of like, I hopefully don't have anything major and lingering around, but like I've said before, I think this is something that's like a two-part, three-part thing that's gonna probably come back later. And what don't make sense is, you know, and I've said it before is, okay, this antivirus, you know, an antivirus is usually a weakened form or a dead form of the cells of the actual real thing. And since I had it, and they say you're only not gonna get it for three months or so, then how's this antivirus gonna work? You mean the vaccine? Vaccine, whatever. I'm in video game world, the antivirus. The vaccine does not have any dead or a live virus in it. All it does is it teaches your own body to make proteins that fight against it. That's it. That's all it does. Yeah, but like chicken pox, you know, you get it once. Yes, but that's a different type of vaccine. That's not an mRNA. Yeah, corner ground. It's not a corner ground. Here we go. Let's call it at that. So what else we got going on out there? Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom. Hey, Hamilton. Or no, you said, Samuel. I feel left out. Everybody's talking to everybody but me. I think I'm gonna take my toys and go home. Let's see here. COVID causes, didn't you? It does. They're saying that now too. It's causing ED. Oh, great. Hey, we got another call coming in here. I have, yeah, it's not local so it's probably gotta be here on the air. Hey, I was just calling in reference to this discussion about the corner grounding. Yeah. It's basically the same thing as when you take a 24 volt transformer and you bond one side to ground, you make that which would have been a 12 volt in reference to ground, zero volts in reference to ground, which makes the other one 24 volts in reference to ground. If you ever take one and hook it up and don't bond it and take some readings, you'll see that. Yeah, cause I mean, like I know like some branded manufacturers will do it and I've always kind of like, I don't know, I kind of don't like it but I mean, I understand why they're doing it for extra safety but I always thought that, you know, cause you could always kind of tell which leg was your true hot leg but doing it with high voltage seems like it would, I guess. There is no true hot leg until you establish one bonded to ground. They're both 12 volts. So you make that happen. It's just like with the high leg, the reason you're getting different voltages in reference to ground is because essentially the neutral point that's tapped on a transformer is between two of the phases. That's why those ones have 120 to ground and the other one has about 200 volts. Yeah, it kind of makes sense. So it's like, I have a basic somewhat kind in a corner grounded system. I looked it up on the internet the same as you guys just did but it makes sense when you think about how other transformers are grounded and like the Y arrangement where it's grounded in the center, like when you have 208. I guess the question would be is what would be the benefit of it and why would you do it? I don't fully understand that. Yeah, because I haven't understood the high leg either. I can't really... My sparky friends. I guess it was saying you can't do single phase equipment off of a corner grounded panel. And will they have that on 230 volt or will it only be on like say 460 volt? Or does it matter? I've never seen one. I've only just did about that arrangement. So, you know, you're guessing as good as mine. Yeah, I haven't seen it either. I mean, around here the bust I get is usually the high leg. That's about it. But that's about, you know, and then it's very selective of where it's at. And I forget, I mean, my one manager was real good at that stuff and it's been years ago and he would sometimes explain that stuff but a lot of times it's just like, well, we got so many other things to learn about. I don't stay focused on every little details. It's one of the things where I just accept it and move on. Yeah. If you're doing lots of electrical install and service, it would be one thing, but if, you know, you're doing, if you're not focusing on that like we aren't, then you just get the basics. But it was pretty interesting. I mean, I've heard of it in the past and you know, I haven't even thought about it in a long time until the guy brought it up and I'm like, what the heck's a corner ground? And then it made sense. And I looked it up and like, yeah, I have heard of it and I have not seen it. But I have worked on 240 volt single phase that was wired on a buck and boost transformer where you had a 240 volt, like L one was 240 to ground because L two was bonded to ground. Yeah. You get the same thing like L two would have no reading the ground and L one would have 240. Yeah, it kind of is making sense as I think about it. I think your analogy of the 24 volt relay or 24 volt transformer makes probably the best sense because I mean, I've always, it's kind of a half ass way of doing it but I have removed the ground when I couldn't find the short or whatever. And just to kind of, I don't know, I forget exactly what it was I did it to but it's not like a normal procedure but I've done it before because I couldn't find the short or something or it was a random short that happened every again and I didn't want their heat going out in the middle of the night. But yeah, it makes sense now because like Linux, I don't think Linux was big into grounding it but carrier might have been, I know Goodman or somebody like that did it which was more common, which was kind of weird why they would do it more than anybody else but yeah, some manufacturers older equipment. Older equipment didn't used to do it and then they started doing it for whatever reason. I'm not sure all the advantages or disadvantages either way. I just know we typically see it bonded now and that's just how it is. Cool. Who are we speaking with? Interesting stuff to research. This is Eric. Eric, okay. Is that what's your screen name? Eric, I'm Eric. Yes, Eric. Okay. Thank you. So you're saying I was in the chat with you with Gil. Oh, okay. Okay, cool. I appreciate you calling in stuff. That definitely, every little bit helps. I mean, I tried to not ever come across as Mr. Know-it-all because I surely don't. So yeah, I'm more than willing to say when I don't know something. So that's one of the things that I'm not 100% certain of. Definitely not. I'm definitely not 100% on either, but I've dabbled. But yeah, that's it. Now I got more research to do myself, probably like a lot of other people in chat. So. Yeah, cool, man. I appreciate you calling in. Thank you. Talk to you later. All right, man. See ya. Bye. So, cool. Awesome. One thing I don't understand what he was saying is if you take a 24-volt transformer, I was gonna ask him this, but you guys started getting out the phone. If you take a 24-volt transformer and you check one side to ground, I've never read 12 volts. If it's not bounded, you know what I mean? Because he said it's basically two 12-volt transformers. I mean, if you really think about it, the transformer's not really grounded. Because I mean, you've got a core and you've got a set of windings here and a winding here. And the only thing that's happening is the flux lines are going from one side of the coil to the other coil and it's absorbing it through magnetic transfer. And so that, neither one of those windings are grounded in all reality. They're 100% isolated. So you're just taking one leg of your, because it really is no hot or no hot or a neutral or whatever on a transformer. In reality, it really don't matter which leg you pick to choose to be your R. You can take either one of them to ground and then the other one's gonna go through a load source. So I mean, in theory, I mean, because I mean, you just take your loop, doom, doom, doom, doom here and your other one over here. You see what I'm saying? I mean, they're not isolated. I know you're kidding. It doesn't matter which one you pick. Sure. Out of a 24-volt, right? It doesn't matter which one you pick. But I would just like thinking about checking the transformer from one of the terminals to ground. I've never seen like a 24-volt transformer reach 12 volts. Maybe I was misunderstanding how you were saying. I think I know, I think, because if you think about it, I mean, it's gonna be going probably through earth, ground and the neutral bar. But when they don't have the same reference point, you know, I don't see as it being an issue, kind of like where you can use two transformers as long as they don't have a shared common, you can have two Rs on the circuit without technically isolating them. You could, you can do that as long as they don't share a common or a ground. You can do it without having an issue. You don't have to necessarily use the dedicated RCRRH. I remember my old manager teaching me that long, long ago, but they had to stay isolated as long as they didn't have a shared ground, that they had that chassis ground, that's when everything went to crap. So, but yeah, I mean, because I mean, if you go to the, take a transformer, next time you're playing around doing a service check and just check that the, if you take the two leads off the transformer and having both unhooked from it and go to the ground on the furnace, I mean, I almost could do it now, but you shouldn't really get much of anything. I mean, you might get something stray, because I mean, for example, if you ever take your meter and hold onto one lead with your hand, and then take your other one to a hot leg, 120 volts, you'll get like 70 volts, 60 volts, you know, something like that. And it's going through your body. I mean, unless you have insulated shoes and you can pick something up there. So it's got to go back to that reference point thing, but I can't think of any good way to explain it because I don't 100% have a good explanation. I mean, it's a super interesting topic. I'll tell you that. Yeah, just when you think it's like no big deal, it's just hot, you know, you know, too, I, you know, I always kind of thought, you know, it's when that's where you get into true electricians that really are doing big stuff and not just basic residential electrical. Cause I mean, residential electrical is not really that big of a deal. It's when you get into the industrial and these weird oddities, I think, is when things really get crazy. Well, thanks JD, I appreciate that. Thanks, man. I think that's where you really see the difference. Cause I mean, you know, cause we used to let pretty much anybody, wire house, you know, with my previous company, when we got slow, you know, anybody could go out and start, start, you know, drilling holes and making home runs to the individual rooms and start pulling wire and stuff like that. But like, but when we get on some of the, the commercial stuff and the industrial stuff, that's when we got a couple of electricians that've got their state certifications and stuff. And that's where they get into the things that I don't necessarily know. So just don't see it. I have you ever done that trick where if you have a, like a short and a 24 volt wire, you know, like your two wire running outside, instead of pulling a new wire, if you have a hard time, you can just put the one side to ground and you kind of eliminate one of the wires. Well, I mean, you'd be fine. You'd have to find which ones, technically, you're shorting. I mean, I've wired things up to where I've, you know, cause well, like on a car, remember it was positive ground or negative ground. You ever heard that? So I've kind of done the same thing. Like long ago the cars used to be, the positive of the battery used to go to the chassis ground and the ground was kind of their switching legs. So kind of like, I've done it where I've ran the R, say straight to the contactor. So if the circuitry is all close together, I've ran the R right to the load side of the coil and then my switch mechanism was my neutral and that would run out through the system and then come back. And so worst case scenario, if it was to short to ground, it would just make the relay close instead of blowing the transformer. So I mean, I've done stuff like that to kind of avoid issues. I found what you can get me for Christmas. It's used, it's a deal. Yeah. Keep dreaming. I'm worth it though. No, you're not. Adam, don't you think I'm worth a brand new Piccolo? It's only like, it's only a $3,699. They're normally- What is gold plated? No, this is like half off. They're normally, this brand is like about $7,000. Her flute's like 6,800, 6,900. And that's a cheap one. Well, I'd say it's a moderate priced one. They got some that are $20,000. Yeah, 20 to 30,000. Like if they're all gold, 14 karat gold. And that's one of the cheaper instruments out there. How much is the Larry's instrument? The bassoon? Oh, those can be really expensive too. Yep, so craziness. You said you need Christmas ideas. I'm trying to help you out. I was thinking like, you know, some gum or- I don't chew gum. Well, it's okay, I do. So. Oh, Rich said to get me too. You'd like a new vacuum pump or a set of torches or something like that? I can't weld, sorry. We can teach you. Nope, I can't because my stimulator. I can't weld. Brazing. Well, I said weld and you agreed. Brazing is welding. Ray Ray said his son's cello is 5K. Yeah, that sounds about right. Yeah, there's a lot of different ones out there. Oh, yeah. Okay, JD. I've bought her everything else she's asked for. It's a piccolo, not a flute. She doesn't play the piccolo near as much as she does her flute. There's a reason for that. Because I need an apicolo. Uh-huh. It's easier to transport. It's like portable. The problem is that only one person or two persons get to play it because it's such a high-pitched instrument. It's so noticeable. You're at the top of the pyramid when you play that. Well, and then they all fight about it who gets to play it. So... And what's really sad is the people that really want to play it the most really suck on it too and are really out of pitch and really out of tune and it's just horrible. And yet they like... You know, your friend might could be possibly watching. No, no, I'm talking about someone completely different. Oh, okay, cover up. Gotcha, cover up. No, the person I'm thinking of would never, because... Okay. No, I'm not talking about the other mic. No. No, believe it or not, she actually has a friend that's female that services fireplaces and stuff. And she never done any of that stuff at all before ever. What did she do before? Lots of jobs. Odds and ends. And then all of a sudden she started working on fireplaces and stuff. So I'm like, cool, because around here we don't have that many, you know? So it's like, whatever. This is some gay guy that's not even a music major that thinks that he can play piccolo and he can't. It's horrible. Yeah. It's really bad. That's awesome. It'd be like you trying to play piccolo. I can at least play a note. No, you can't. So, Laura, are you gonna get the vaccine since you're on the front line? I saw that. No, actually probably not because now they're saying that if you have any type of severe allergies and or even allergic responses to medication and or other vaccines, which I do, I can't get the flu vaccine because I actually get anaphylaxis and my airway actually closes off. So most likely I'm probably not going to get it. I don't think I should. I think it would be a huge contraindication for me. I'm not in a hurry since I've already had it and I had minimal symptoms. I don't see a reason to right yet. I want to see this thing work and see that there ain't no side effects and problems. I mean, at some point, I want to see some, I mean, I know they did a lot of testing and people haven't, you know, a lot to lose by not doing it. I say go for it and do it. But since I've already done it and had minimal, all I have is a little bit of a fever for a couple of hours and a cough. Yeah, I want to make sure it works first. I mean, I'm all about all the other vaccines that have been around forever. You know, I don't like parents that, you know, don't do the obvious stuff like measles mumps and stuff like that that's been proven to work. But some of this new stuff, I want to see, make sure it works first. I know at some point they're going to probably try to force us into it, but yeah. Yeah, I don't blame it. They say it's like 55% aren't going to do it or maybe it's 45%. It's a good portion. It's like almost a 50-50 thing that aren't going to do it type deal. Interesting. Yeah, I mean, people don't trust nobody right now. Well, I would say don't trust the government. No, or big pharma. I mean, everybody's about the money. Nobody cares. Or Wall Street. Yeah, I mean, it's all about the money. JD wants it, he wants my vaccine and they make it on the next round over. Yep, crazy stuff. It's crazy train. Got the crazy train going on. Yep, nope, nope. Don't blame you. So, is there anybody else out there that wanted to call in by chance? Had any questions or anything like that? Wanted to contribute or anything? Yes, Joe, and that's cheap. That's on the cheap end of professional models. They go anywhere from 20,000 to 30,000. Yep, no joke. Yep. Of course, I would have no problem spending that kind of money on audio gear, so, you know. But you won't buy me a piccolo. Audio gear may be money. The flute's just for pleasure. But I actually do make money playing. 100 bucks here and 200 bucks there. It ain't no money. Hey, it's still getting paid to blow that flute. Uh-huh, so. You should make a YouTube channel. Play the flute on your YouTube channel. I've tried to get her to do it. I did buy her guitar. I bought her an Ibanez. I bought her a guitar amp. So, I mean, there was like almost close to 900 bucks to 1,000 bucks, so. And what else did I get? That's it. I bought my pedal board. Yeah. Well. Yeah. I bought my flute. And your mic, the second mic. I bought my mic. But I bought all the audio gear so that I could help out so that you could be part of the band, so, you know. Yep, yep. Someone wants an explanation of part start compressors. Okay. And then JD was asking how long it takes you to make and edit your YouTube videos. I'll flip in day JD. Honestly. That's all he could do. He has to sit there the whole time. Because I don't think out what I'm going to say. So, I feel like when I'm recording, I am better off to let it go and all expressions happen and get recorded so that you're hearing what I'm thinking. Like I was listening to Chris's video earlier today and he talked about talking to himself and it's kind of funny. We must think the same because I do the same thing. I mean, I have no problem asking myself questions and answering myself. I don't think that's crazy. I just think it's a way to run things by yourself and when you say it out loud, a lot of times you think about it and then you can actually counter it with your logic. But the video and stuff, I don't think it out a lot of times. What I'm gonna, how I'm gonna lay it out. I mean, it just depends on my mood too. I feel like I gotta make a video and I've been trying to keep on schedule because I said it's a number one rule. Every, I've been trying for Wednesday and Sunday. It started out doing like Thursday and Saturday. And it's like, it's so hard when certain things aren't coming in. And depends on whether or not the situation you're in, whether you can actually get it, whether people are, you know, you know, but everybody I talk to generally doesn't care. So it's like, whatever. So they generally aren't too big of a deal but I feel like I'm being rude if I'm talking to the camera nonstop. So it can take all day. It can take sometimes as little as maybe two or three hours. If I think it out more, I could probably get it done quicker. And, you know, the rendering and stuff like that takes time. I can talk, take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes to put on the video. So, what? Huh? What? Awesome. Yup. So, what else was there? Something about the start components, I think. Can we get an explanation of part start compressors? Are we talking like a hard start for like say a little system like a hard start with a potential relay or start relay? Cause I mean, basically you've just got, whether it's neutral or hot leg, one going to common, the other one's getting hooked to run. It starts the one that's either going to go through the capacitor straight through to it or it's gonna have maybe a regular capacitor there and you're gonna have your current relay, it's gonna pull it into the circuit or the potential relay, which is gonna be done by voltage and it's gonna lift it into, pull the circuit or actually gonna open the circuit once the magnetic field builds up cause the voltage rises once it's starting to run and it pulls it out of the circuit. There's a guy on YouTube that did start relays, you know, the five, one and three, one and two. And he did a really good explanation of it. I'll have to see if I can find that and maybe post it for you. He did a real good one. I thought about doing one myself but it felt like I'm copying him, so yeah. She's coaxing the dog away and she don't wanna leave. Other compressors have a lot of them. What else do we got here? Night, T-bike configurations of motor, let's see. What? Yeah, she stole the dog, whatever. She'll be laying with me tonight. She'll stay out there on the chair with me until it's time for me to go to bed and then she'll lay with her. Yeah, where are we at here? Holy crap, we're at an hour and 24 minutes already. That's kind of crazy. Would you recommend the Inficon Stratus residential or is it overkill? If you got the money, honey, it's got the time. I mean, it's up to you. Either one's good. I mean, I like both of them. The DTEC 3 was booting up quicker though when they sent me another Stratus, the new one, even though it said the same firmware update, it's now getting warmed up quick as the DTEC 3. I had, when I recorded yesterday or Friday, I picked up a small little R22 leak. So, I mean, I do like the parts million to help to kind of reassure myself that it's not a false alarm, but is it worth that much money if I had to pay for it on my pocket? I mean, I was gonna buy it onto my pocket until I talked to him. So, that's a lot of money. So, I mean, if you got plenty of money, then go for it. If not, I'll go DTEC 3. Just, that's a double the cost. I mean, that's just a lot of money. Feel free to jump in there, Adam. Don't be afraid to cut me off. I've never used one. I only have the H10. I'd like one, but there's a bunch of other tools I'd like to buy too before I need a second leak detector. I got my H10 inside right now. I turned it on yesterday and let it run, plugged into the wall for about an hour to get my sensor hot and burn off any moisture that it may have been absorbing and stuff and then finished letting it recharge up and then put it up by the door so I can take it with me. I still use it every now and again. I like double checking things just to see how good it really is. I mean, I'll guarantee you that you're not gonna beat the H10 on 22. I mean, there's, that thing is like stupid, freakin' sensitive on 22. What's some of your other cool tools you wanna get cause I'm looking for something else to spend money on. Maybe I should talk to you instead of Chris. I have like tools that are stupid expensive I wanna buy. I wanna get the Milwaukee, the battery powered pipe threader. I would like a blower door. That's another one. There's a bunch of random Milwaukee battery tools and pack out stuff I'd like to get as well to it. I hate buying tools, especially Milwaukee and you're like, oh sweet, I got the newest, latest and greatest in like six months or a year later they have one that's like twice as good as whatever you have. Like the new sweeper came out with a, they came out with the new brushless sweeper. And I don't think there's a huge difference between that and the second generation cause this technically is like the third generation but my new one, it's already making a whiny noise cause I tried cleaning it out and sprayed the bottom off and I think I got water in the motor and now it has this like whiny noise a little bit which is a little annoying but I really like that thing. It does really cool. I wanna get the battery powered whole hog. I have the old school corded one and you know, if that thing, there's no clutch on it. That's the leg breaker. That will bust you in your face and knock your teeth out or nothing. Or about break your leg. I remember our plumbers used to use that thing and electricians and I know my bio dads got a few of those things and they're pretty wicked, the corded version. I gotta play with the rotary hammer one that was 18 volt when I ended up was working in the shop that day that I found out I lost my smell and I got to drill a couple of pilot holes through and I think it was pretty wicked. I was kinda like and I was like, yeah, it was like 350 bucks. I mean, just for the tool. So I'm like, yeah, problems I don't do much residential now so now I'm not drilling through walls and all that other crap. So it's like, is it worth it for me to spend it? It's just like trying to get into more of the commercial stuff. It kind of eliminates a lot of the tools I'd normally use. So it's like, how do I justify it? I'm already wrong. I got a big, big, I think I have the biggest Milwaukee rotary hammer. I think it's like an inch and three-quarter or something like that, but that was an expensive freaking tool. I want to say it's around a thousand bucks for it, something like that. Holy crap. Yeah. That's tight. It's awesome. It's awesome. Three and a half inch holes through the side of a brick house or whatever for flu pipe for three inch PVC. Just goes right through like butter. Really? So they've got a couple of different rotary hammers then. Yep. Okay. Yeah, the one I seen was probably, I don't know, it had the little motor section that was probably about yay big around. It was about like that. It wasn't super, super big. You must be getting like one of these monster ones. No, this thing's, this is a big boy. Yeah, then that's not the one I used. Yeah, the other one was maybe double the size of a normal drill, but it wasn't like stupid, crazy big. You know, one of the reasons why I haven't bought the hole hog yet is because I have like the brushless Milwaukee fuel 18-volt drill. And a lot of times you could just use that for drilling holes. You don't really need much more than that anymore. You know what I mean? My Bosch 18, it's the brute, I think brute or brute force and it, it's got a four pole motor, brushed motor, and I can run a two and a three eighths or two and a half, whatever it is. I always call it a hole hog bit because it's got that, that slice thing where it just pulls out chunks. And that's what I've always used to drill through the sides of house to run line sets and things like that. And it'll run that thing through no problem, but it does have the anti-bind thing. So it shuts it down. It does pretty good for drilling. The one trick I had with the old, the old hole hog is if you're drilling a really big hole, like we, I, you know, occasionally if you're doing like an ERV or something you need a six inch hole, run it in reverse with a regular hole, so. To get it started one vinyl or something like that? I mean, the whole way through I'd run in, so you just don't knock your teeth out using, it's fine. The thing runs fast. It has a lot of torque. It just, you will not bind it reverse. It's a little bit slower, but it's like safe. You're not going to kill yourself. You know what I mean? So there's a regular hole saw then. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. What are they talking about? What's the wood from 1912 is no joke. Never. Drill it. How hard it is. Oh, wood wood. Okay. Yeah, that was, that was the real stuff back in the day. Back when they used to, I like the oak beams going through the house from they cut down, it's like my grandpa's old house. Freaking had a freaking regular, they went out and cut it out of the freaking woods and stuff and stripped it and squared up some edges and that was a floor joist. What else? There's some cool tools. It also pissed off because I bought the Navec Flaring tool. And it was around for a while, but then like two months after I bought it, they had a new version that's better come out. I was wondering, they have two of them. Is that newest one I've seen? It looks a little smaller. Is it better? I think it's like just watching a video on it. It seems like it's quicker and a little bit, like I don't know why I'm complaining because this one, the one I have is super awesome and easy to use. But I think the newer one's just a little bit easier to use and less cumbersome, you know? That's how it usually goes though. I mean, if we wait around, we'll be retired by the time that they'll never keep coming out with something new. It's like buying phones. I wanna wait till the next iPhone comes out. It's like, okay, well, there's another one. There'll be another one that comes out six months after that, so how long are you gonna wait? Exactly. I mean, like right now, my Note 9, they've got the 20, whatever, and I'm thinking of doing it, but it's like, I don't know, man, 1,200, almost 1,300 bucks. I mean, this one's now paid for, but it's like, I always usually get a couple of hundred bucks out of my old one and I put that towards it, so it's not such a big, you know, as bad, but I don't know. I've not been happy with the GoPro lately. I don't think it is, it's obviously, there's no way it's not as clear as what my phone is, but the phone is more jittery and it's not as convenient to hold, you know, so I'm like, cause I was gonna go with that newest GoPro 9 or Hero 9 or what, yeah, 9, I was gonna get it and then you start reading the reviews on it and some of the guys are kind of like, I wouldn't waste your money on it, blah, blah, blah, and it's like, yeah, I don't know. Who knows, but, well, I ain't got pretty much any more major questions out there, maybe we can wrap this thing up, I told you I wouldn't keep you on here forever and we're already at an hour and 35 minutes or so, but I do appreciate you coming on and stuff, I definitely appreciate that cause it makes it a lot easier and things, especially if she wasn't gonna come on and then she felt sorry for me cause I suck by myself, so, you know. I've been here, I wasn't talking enough for her, I was in entertaining. You're doing great, man, I appreciate that, so it makes it easy. If you guys would, go ahead and smack your phone on the way out there, maybe make that little, little number go a little higher if you can. I haven't had a chance to check it to even see where we're at on it. Have to take a peek here real quick. Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, where are we at here? I gotta, I thought I'd be down here in time, we was still finishing up the pizza and salad stuff and I was like, yeah, well, I'll have no problems getting this thing ready and then the computer was locking up, but I found out, you know, obviously it wasn't plugged in and stuff, so it's like, that's what was going on. Two, two, two, two, two, and we've got, do we even have it? Yeah, we got 49 thumbs, that ain't too bad. We got one down, that's not bad either, not bad. Kinda, don't mind it anymore, so it's awesome. Well, man, you got anything else for me? No, as soon as I get up, I'm hitting the hay. All right, cool, I appreciate you sticking around with me, I'm sorry if I kept you longer and I promised you, so I'll try to get you out of here, so I appreciate you everyone coming in tonight, guys. I hopefully I'll have you another video on Wednesday and probably one on Sunday again and as usual, around 8 30 Eastern time here on Sunday evenings, we'll try to come back at you and answer any of your questions and stuff. I appreciate everyone stopping in, I didn't wanna let you guys down, to be honest with you, neither one of us felt like doing it tonight but I didn't wanna let anyone down, so I was here and like wanted to pull something off for you guys, so hopefully it wasn't too bad, but other than that, guys, thanks again for coming in, Adam, thank you for coming in and until next time, guys, I will catch you guys on the next one, see if I can find my spot here, there we go. So, and we'll do it to here. So take care, guys, we will. Bye-bye, bye-bye, thanks now, bye-bye. Bye-bye, bye-bye. I wanna see motion and movement, bye-bye. Bye-bye, okay. Bye-bye, take care.

UCfX55Sx5hEFjoC3cNs6mCUQ	idmapped mounts BoF - Christian Brauner	idmapped mounts BoF - Christian Brauner	null	2022-08-06T16:22:42	2024-02-05T08:13:59	1,868	vZiHMIzyo6w	So, Amir asked me to do a little boff. Huh? Oh, really? Sorry. Should I? I probably, I don't speak very loud. Yeah, Amir asked me to do a little boff about I.D. Met Mounds, which is something that some of you might have heard about. Probably over the last two years or so. And I guess I first want to start with a little introduction why we did this. So what is the motivation for this? Here's a couple of use cases. So first of all, a noncontainer use case, because I always like to stress that it is not just purely a container feature. This is a generic VFS feature is about what is called portable home directories. So essentially the idea that the UIDs and GIDs that you put on disk, if you, for example, have a banner of as sub volume as your home directory or a USB stick or some external disk with XFS or an X4 file system on it. And you want to take this home directory between two different machines. And obviously you can have different login UIDs and GIDs assigned, but then you wouldn't be able to interact with all of the files on disk. So the only option to solve this problem in this case is you need to recursively shown all of these files, which gets even more problematic. If you consider that in your home directory, it's not usually the case, but not necessarily the case that only UIDs and GIDs have been files with UIDs and GIDs have been written to disk that corresponds to your user's UID and GID. There could be files that some demo created with a specific UID and GID in there and so on. So if you recursively shown, you lose all of that information. That is an issue that SystemD, for example, frequently ran into. And the other case comes from obviously containers because they're a really big thing right now, or they're by now. If you have a container that runs inside of the username space, then you will often have a UID and GID mapping in place to ensure that UID 0 inside of the container doesn't mean UID 0 on the host. So if you break out, you're not automatically escalating to root. And that means the root fester of the container usually needs to correspond to the ID mapping used for the container, which means that root file systems need to be choned as well recursively. The big problem with this is obviously the larger your root fests gets or the more layers you have that you use for an overlay fs mount and so on. The more expensive it actually gets to choned them. The next thing is if you have something where you want to give each container its individual ID mapping. So it's separate username space with a different ID mapping, which is a use case that some people have. Then you also have the problem that you need to duplicate all of the storage. So each container, they can share layers anymore if we're staying in Docker terminology, but each root file system has to be copied into a separate directory. So you're wasting a lot of memory and space for no particular reason other than that you want to change the ownership of the files. And there's a bunch of other use cases on there where you, for example, want to share data between the container and the host. Let's say you want to have your home directory or something that recently someone wrote a blog post about. They wanted to build a minimal container where they use slash user on their host system inside of the container. That obviously won't be possible to do nicely because the ownership of all of the files on this will not usually match the containers UID and GID mapping. There are some solutions to this problems already. There is a very limited number of file systems that allow you to mount them inside of containers. The most interesting file system that exists in this area is Oval AFS. So you can mount an Oval AFS file system inside of the container. That doesn't necessarily help you because the underlying layers that you use for Oval AFS will have their ownership changed anyway. The Oval AFS stack and file system mounted on top of a bunch of lower layers. So if you share layers, these layers can't be shared anymore if the containers use different ID mappings. Other file systems are rather uninteresting for data sharing or for using as root of S. You have tempFS, you have deft, pts, you have sysFS, you have procFS. But neither X4, XFS nor butterFS are actually mountable in this way. Another thing is that the file system-wide ID mappings do what they say on the tin. They change ownership file system-wide. So even if you were to be able to mount one of those file systems inside of the username space, the ownership changes would apply to the whole file system. Which especially if you think about containers as a bunch of mounts put together, which they usually do. You have a root of S and then you have a bunch of additional mounts in there, data sharing mounts and so on. So a couple of bind mounts. And it's not necessarily always the case that all of these individual mounts are supposed to have the same ID mapping that is used. And so a longstanding idea has, well, there are a couple of different solutions that you can take with this. But the most flexible solution that covered all of the use cases that people came to up with us over the years. It took a long while to actually get to all of those people and talk to the different stakeholders. What they wanted was to make it possible to change ownership on a per-mount basis instead of a file system-wide basis. And so it's a temporary and localized change in the sense that the ownership change is tied to the lifetime of the mount. And this is in a nutshell from a high-level perspective everything that ID map mounts are about. You can change ownership on a mount-specific basis instead of a file system-wide basis. Which makes them very suitable for containers, for example. And the API for this is based on the Mount Set Adder system call that's already fairly widely used, which allows you to change mount attributes, various mount attributes, just the ID mapping that is used for a given mount, but also stuff like read-only, read-write, and so on. Yes, Ted. Yeah, so when you say on a per-mount basis that's mount not bind-mount? That's bind-mount. Oh, on a per-bind-mount basis. Sorry, I forgot. I can use a simple VFS terminology on a VFS mount basis. Okay, on a VFS mount. Great. Okay, thanks. And so this is the API. This allows you to, I don't know how many of you have seen this, this allows you to change mount attributes recursively, which something which the mount system call, the base mount system call, didn't allow you to do. You can make mounts read-only, no-def, and so on. And this is the specific API that you need to use if you want to create an ID map mount, which is to raise the specific flag and then pass the file descriptor of the username space in that you want to apply to this mount. And this is basically the whole magic. The VFS had to be taught to deal with this. File systems don't need to be really aware of it. There are APIs that abstract the necessary, the gory details away. At least we tried to make it so. Is there like a command line helper program that makes this easy? Yeah, so this should be merged fairly soon. I can probably give a demo here. Let me try. And now let me significantly increase phone size. Can you all see this? So, talked with Carol, Zach, the maintainer of Utah Linux, and because system D services already want to make use of ID map mounts directly for isolated services. And so they wanted to have this available in the mount tool. And so it is actually available, should be available in the mount tool soon. Let me see if I have something mounted already. For this room, it's worth knowing that XFS tests already has a binary that gives you this. Sorry. For this room, it may be useful to know there is already a binary in FS tests. Oh yeah, XFS tests. I should probably say we have a 15k test suite associated with ID map mounts that is upstream in XFS tests that aims to cover the behavior of ID map mounts under all possible combinations and tests via FAS behavior including ACLs, capabilities, setting and getting, setGID inheritance, setGID and setGID execution because this is all of where this stuff becomes relevant. And so file systems can just run XFS tests with that and they should have a clear idea whether or not they implement this correctly. Every time we fix a bug or see a regression, we immediately add a test to XFS tests and that also has a binary to create ID map mounts. But for user space, it would obviously be nice if you could do something like this. This is the command. So mount has a set of options that are called x-mount. And there is a bunch of complicated stuff that you can do that people don't know and it will gain a new mount option called x-mount.idmap and then you can specify ID maps or explicitly, so to explicitly say this is the ID mapping that I want to use, but if you wanted to, you could also say proc some PID NS and then the username space that you want to use. It's fairly flexible. The syntax is something like this. I want to map UID 65534, for example, to UID 1000 and then you can give it a range for how many UIDs and GIDs you want to map. Here I just want to illustrate, this is a shortcut for mapping both UIDs and GIDs. So, yeah. This means map 65534, which is the nobody, no group user to UID 1000 in the target mount though. If we look at source target, source mount, then you can see there are two files in there, a directory and a file that are owned by nobody, no group within this mount. But since we created an ID map mount, because you can see here at target mount, if we look at this from target mount, you'll see brown and brown as my UID, which is UID 1000, I can prove this. So, in this mount... This is very fascinating. It sounded like you mentioned there is a way to call out to a service or call out to a pseudophile for the mappings as well. We're going to specify something, because typically these would be stored centrally, so the example I think of a lot is your NFS or some file system, and you have exactly that thing, right? Oh, you mean you want to call out to a service and use this ID mapping? Well, let me give you an example. You have two containers running on the host. Container one is a member of domain Pepsi. Pepsi does not have a user brawner. So you're mapping that. If that user showed up there, he's guessed. You already have that. But if it's Microsoft, another container running on the same host, that container, yes, you do exist in your UID 1196 or whatever. So the central storage of these, however you do it with SSSD or Windbind or whatever it is, or some future service, it makes sense that depending on who owns that container, is it Coke, is it Pepsi, is it Microsoft? Those IDs could be mapped differently. They can, yeah. And so what I'm kind of wondering about is how you would call out to a service that knowing what namespace the container is, was it Coke, is it Pepsi, is it Microsoft running it, would provide you the UID mapping for that? Sort of like what SSSD or Windbind does today. I mean, that seems like a, we totally misunderstanding, but that seems like a user space problem. But if you essentially have infrastructure to call out, give me the ID mapping that you want to use for this container, then you retrieve it and then you can set up the container with that ID mapping for that specific mount and so on. I guess what I'm saying is that there's thousands of these entries, they're stored centrally and then cached in these services like SSSD and Windbind, they cached other things too, but they cached group memberships and they cached all these things needed for actual evaluation. So these services already do all of that, but what they don't know is until you ask them, they're not going to provide you the data unless you ask them, because they're typically hooked into by PAM and NSS. You know, you're looking at logon, you're looking at who am I and commands like this. But the thing that I'm a little bit confused about is when you set up these mounts like this, is there a way to automate it so the mount command can just go off and ask the user space service the right thing? Yeah. Yeah, that's possible. That's what I meant. It's a user space problem. If you have a way of retrieving these mappings that you want to use and then translate them into a form that can be consumed by the mount binary, then this is doable. What I wanted to, in the last step, illustrate is the important thing and this is the test. If I now create a file in there and say, and I look at it from here, then it will be owned by brown or brown or if I look at it from source mount, then it will be owned by nobody, no group. So the ID mappings essentially work in such a way that if you create a file on disk, if an ID map mount says, map 65534 to UID or GID 1000. What that means is if I call stat from that ID map mount, I'm getting reported 1000 as the owning UID and GID for a file that is stored on disk as nobody, no group. So consequently, if you create a file or if you change ownership and say, I want this file to be owned by UID 1000 or I want to create a file as UID 1000, that means I'm putting a file to disk as nobody, no group which conversely will be reported as being owned by UID, GID 1000 through stat. This is an important thing to note. And this is used already. So this is being, so for people a little more active in the container community, there is, it's now part of the spec or it's becoming part of the run C spec. It's used in a C run. It's used in run C. UID has a pull request for this open or already support system B and spawn supports it right from the right of the bat, makes heavy use of it. System D home D makes use of ID map mount system D services will gain support for this. So there's a lot of activity going on around this. The file systems that currently support this are X4, XFS, ButterFS and we have a patch series for OvalAFS that is scheduled I guess to be emerged for. What does the file system need to do to support this? So that depends on your file system. No, it doesn't really depend on the file system. Network file systems are a bit special, but I have prototypes. I had a prototype for Cephaphase, which I think Jeff Layton already saw and it needs a bit more work, but in principle it's really easy. Like all of the I know of methods already passed down the relevant ID mapping or the username space that is attached to the mount, and then it just needs to switch to the generic helpers that we have include Linux mount ID mapping. And we also, I have written like a 900 word, 900 word, a long document describing how ID mappings work. And as long for example as the file system uses iNode in it owner, then everything is already there. And it's really, essentially, if you look at the patches for X4 or XFS, they were fairly minimal. The only time it needs a bit of thinking is when your file system does anything directly with UIDs and GIDs, which not a lot of file systems do. XFS did it, for example, in a few quota allocation paths, but other than that it should be fairly simple. And I'm obviously always willing to help out with this if people have a use case for this and think this is something that they want to support. I mean definitely an NFS and SMB, I mean these come up all the time, right? Is that people are running containers all the time over NFS or SMB. I think KS. What I'm thinking at a very high level is that for whether you're talking about AFS or whether you're talking about any of these, most of these don't use UIDs. The ownership is expressed as a globally unique number. So in the iNode they have a globally unique number. And what's needed is a way to translate that globally unique number to a specific UID that's different for each container. So for network file system things get a bit, I looked at, even before this was merged, I looked at networking file systems because I was like, oh this is probably going to be complicated because what if I have CIFS, which doesn't really, what role do UIDs and GIDs play in CIFS when it interacts with the server and so on. And network file system in this sense can be a bit tricky. For example what CEPFS does, if I remember this correctly, it always sends the FSUID of the caller with any request that it makes to a CEPFS server. And this FSUID is more or less in the server only used when you have access restrictions on the server and you for example say, if someone sends me this UID and it doesn't match the UID that I set on the server, then they are not allowed to interact with any files or create any files on disk. And so when you have an ID map mount and you go through a client which uses an ID map mount, you always need to make sure that you send the ID mapped FSUID to the server or do you need to at least figure out what you want to send to the server. It's like things like that that can get complicated. I think for NFS and AFS and SMB it's much simpler than that because on the wire they have a globally unique number, there's no issue like this. So the only trick is that when a UID comes in, let's say on create or whatever, and they have to map that. Yeah, Chuck. I was wondering, do you have to remount if you want to change the mapping without unmounting the files? No, we implemented it in such a way that DID mapping can't be changed once it is established. You can't do a remount and then attach, for example, another username space because it would have been horrible, it would have been rather complicated to do this nicely in the VFS because then you get into lifetime issues. You need to guarantee that everyone who wants to operate on the ID map mount that the relevant object, the struct username space doesn't go away behind your back and that's all kinds of complicated. So the way this is done right now is you create a new detached mount with Open Tree Clone which is the... I showed this on the slides, I think, a new system call in the new mount API which gets you a detached mount, meaning it's not visible anywhere in the file system. Then you can change the ID mapping and then you attach it to the file system. And as soon as you change to the ID mapping or you have the mount attached to the file system, you cannot change anything anymore. Okay, a second possibly related question is how does the scale and the number of mappings permount? For example, if you've got a multi-user system with a thousand users on it that you want to have a unique mapping for every one of them. So I did... There's two ways to understand this. Either it's a question about the number of mounts or it's a question about the number of mappings permount. Okay, so I originally, username spaces only supported up to five individual mappings. You see you saw that come on, you saw that line up here where it's 65534 colon 1000, colon 1 and originally you could only have five. Back in 2015 or in 2016 I don't know, I changed the username space to allow up to 340 individual mappings. And that's sort of the limit. This has cache line issues actually. This is in a hot path and the way for example one of the advantages of attaching a username space to the idmap mount instead of for example calling override crats in the VFS is that you don't get any DOS issues and you can work under RCU nicely and so on. So that's rather simple. If you are in a hot path with these if every time you call for example FSUID GID has mapping which the VFS for example does every time a file is supposed to be created it checks can this UID and GID be represented by the file system? Is there a sensible value assigned to this? So it calls it a lot and a bunch of additional checks and every time it looks into the attached mapping of the username space and checks is this UID and GID mapped and so that's a hot path and the way this works is if you have up to five mappings then it's a simple array and if you have more than five mappings up to 340 individual mappings then you have forward and a reverse pointer that point to an array that sorts either by the first UID 55534 or by the second UID starting by the second UID 1000 and then you can really efficiently binary search obviously you can use binary search to guarantee that this performs really well but it's destruct is I optimize destruct such that it's really cache line aligned and so increasing the number of mappings will be difficult yes Thank you about performance if you look in a user SPIN there's three or four ID mapper utilities there different file systems have their own up calls for ID mapping and presumably all of those have to be changed to fix this all the ones that are in user SPIN have to do something to take advantage of this but right now there's three or four of them what I'm wondering about is calling up calling up NFS ID maps SIFS ID map RPC ID map all the different ID map ones that are already in user SPIN is that going to be slow all days or a better way to make them faster I think aren't those mapping between names and numbers yeah so between Browner and 37 not between 37 on this mountain that's a different totally that's the thing the UID and GID mapping that NFS uses I'm not an NFS expert so please correct me if I'm wrong that's that's concerned with mapping UIDs to user names by calling out this is more slightly this is a separate issue this is how do we deal with network file system foreign identities on your system yeah I mean like if I have a container and UID 37 is you know I don't know Christian that's something rather and then I go in another container and it's UID 96 I mean you're doing to NFS ID map calls right you're seeing user at something and you're looking up his ID map and then you're doing the reverse so in one container you're looking to see what the username was and then the other container then you have to look at the ID for that username that you just queried in the other one that's after going through the Christian's mapping layer or before you're going to look at it so you'll talk about the raw ID from the medium effectively well the medium he's translating the medium to the application and back again but he's going to represent that ID differently but at some level they have to look up the right but when you the network file system see it again you're seeing the raw number not what's presented to the user well yeah you're seeing a mapable number in a namespace they're different namespace but that's a separate part of the problem and isn't covered by Christians we need to deal with that too at some point but that's not harder I believe your ID map a programs map the KUID so effectively it's constant and then this will do the UID mapping on top but to to devices medium may have the same UID superplugging a USB stick with an HD3 file system on it it may have ID 37 you go look at an AFS you may see ID 37 but these are different ID 37s so yeah I think this is a slightly different topic but I think if we've exhausted this one and I know we're almost out of time what is there any thinking about wanting to support project IDs I know some container systems use project IDs for their own use but if you want to do nested containers yada yada I think we definitely need to revisit this issue I think this is we've basically dodged this issue for years and didn't really bother with it because nobody could be bothered to have clear semantics when I looked at the project IDs paths when I did the original work I was confused on a lot of levels because it's usually for example you interact with the username space that the file system was mounted in but in all of the or most of the project ID paths the inner user NS is used and so it's a very schizophrenic situation where it's not very clear what the intended semantics are and the main problem that I want to tackle going forward in the future is we need to provide better documentation what's going on with UID and GID handling with quotas and come up with with better semantics for a few other things in the GFS layer but it's definitely on my to-do list because people want to do this and we get requests for this all of the time. So the only question I had is project ID more than XFS now because when I last looked it was only XFS EXD4 also supports project IDs and I think there was some question that Derek and I were puzzling over whether we did it the same way in the presence of namespaces and how project IDs were mapped in namespaces. The intent is to unify it but I confess I'm confused what the semantics should be so As far as I understood quota can mean a lot of different things for different file systems. Having worked with this parts in user space also a bit not just in the kernel it's very difficult for example if you set up a container root you want to say I want the container to only have this and this much quota then butterFS will require a very different setup than XFS or X4 and it's really hard for user space to actually get this right. I just want to point out before we let Amir do his thing Jan says on the chat that the VFS quotas like the normal stuff seems to be missing the ID map handling so it looks like it doesn't do any of this conversion for like qget quota but anyway let's move this to hallway track and Amir you're up	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZiHMIzyo6w", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Sure. If she'd just shut her mouth and been a good deputy, they wouldn't have had that appalling bungalow. What do you think they're referring to? Well, look, again, I don't know who you're talking to, but I do think that obviously the comment that I made in terms of Māori representation in our caucus, I very much acknowledged that I made a mistake. And I think part of leadership is owning that. How did you make that mistake? Well, basically I was advised by someone in the building. We had had a query in terms of Māori representation, but I was wrong. Yeah. So did you misconstrue that text that you got from Joe Hayes, which said, what did that text message say? Look, I'm not going to go into that tova, but... Did Joe tell you that Paul Goldsmith was... I don't think it's helpful, tova, to go into... Well, it's good to clear up whether you're throwing her under the bus or whether... No. So did you misconstrue her under the she-tell-you category? I don't think it's helpful at all to say who advised me. The thing that I would say, though, tova, is I am very prepared, if I'm deputy leader, to stand up and own my mistakes, and I made a mistake. And you apologized to him? Yes, I did. It speaks volumes, though, about the lack of diversity on your front bench, though, doesn't it? On that top 12, not a single Māori MP in your top 12. So was that by design or was that ignorance? Look, I think there's a couple of things. Firstly, the most important thing from our perspective is that we have the most competent team as possible. But what I do acknowledge is it is very important to have Māori voice within the caucus. We have some extraordinary Māori MPs in national, whether that is Joe, Hariti, Shane Reti, Simon, Paula. So, I mean, I think from our perspective... Tova goes with...in the leadership duo a couple of weeks ago. But the reality is, tova, as you know, we are fighting hard to win an election and we have to have the best team to be put forward on that. Yeah, so... It wrecks of ill-informed misguided judgment, doesn't it? When you're trying to make a Pākehā MP Māori to up the quota of Māori MPs on your front bench. No, it doesn't. Was it by design or was it ignorance? No, it doesn't. I was advised by someone recently reliable in the building. I'm not going to go into who that was, but I made a mistake. And I think the reality is we do need to do more as a country in terms of diversity and representation, but we have been very clear that we need to have the most competent group of people and we have made decisions on that.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZJbL3q_GMA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

My name is Maria. I recently completed the 120 hour online course with ITTT, and I have to say I am very impressed with the materials that are offered. There are 20 course units, all of which you can download and print if you'd like to keep a binder book. And I'm also impressed with the variety and range of subjects that are covered from the methodologies of teaching itself to the variety of classrooms you could find yourself a part of, to even just the basics of English grammar in itself. Everything you learn from unit 1 to unit 20 is presented in a very comprehensive cumulative learning style, which I very much appreciate. And if you're anything like me, where you enjoy not just the direct reading style of learning, but you also enjoy audio and visual explanations, then I highly recommend going with the 120 hour course with the video lessons and the online tutor. Just all around, very pleased with my experience. I received my certificate a few weeks after completing the course and passing. And that's it! It's very simple, very comprehensive, and no matter what your level of experience or level of interest is in teaching English as a foreign language, the course is presented in such a way that anyone can succeed and anyone can glean some form of information inside from it. So, of course, I highly recommend this program, the 120 hour course with the video lessons and the online tutor included. And I just wish everyone the best of luck!	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZnPerzBgD8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCvymH6qvAgCpzuRkXIw1ywg	The Lone Ranger - Conway's Fall	10/18/44, episode 1833 This episode provided by the Old Time Radio Researchers Group at Yahoo and at www.otrr.org -Video Upload powered by https://www.TunesToTube.com	[ "Old Time Radio", "1944" ]	2017-03-16T18:08:48	2024-04-23T14:16:44	1,751	VZw5KBW9MaM	With his faithful Indian companion Tonto, the mask rider of the planes led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. The stories of his strength and courage, his daring and resourcefulness have come down to us through the generations. And nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past in the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver, the lone ranger rides again. The lead and Tonto had spent the night in Coldwater Canyon, halfway between the town of Coldwater and the partly finished bridge. They broke in camp at dawn and an hour later they were in the nearest part of the canyon within sight of the bridge. That bridge will be a mighty fine thing, won't it, Tonto? That's right. It saved plenty time. Sheriff Wallace was talking about it last night, remember? He said the bridge would cut 50 miles off the trail to the west. That's right, Dan. I'm sorry we're so early. I'd like to have seen the men working on that bridge. Well, maybe see them other time after we meet the lone ranger. Golly, Tonto. You suppose we could come back this way and watch the work for a little while? Maybe. We see what lone rangers say. Tonto, someone's calling for help. Let me hear him. Hold, Scott. Hold, Scott. Hold, Victor. Hold, Victor. Hold. Me see him. Come along, Dan. Get him up, Scout. Come on, Victor. I don't see him, Tonto. Over there. You see Fowler on ground? Not yet. Look on the bridge. I knew the bridge. And near edge it looked like Fowler hurt plenty bad. Hold, hold, boy. Hold, Scott. Hold, Fowler. Hold, Victor. Hold, steady there, Victor. Hold, Fowler. Hold. Get canteen, Dan. Let me see what's wrong. Right. Get me out of here. Yeah. Yeah, me help you. Pin down this timber. Yeah. Let me see it. Here. Here's the water, Tonto. I'm afraid my leg is broken. Dan, you get hold. We lift timber to one side. All right. I'm ready. Lift. Lift. That sure was heavy. I came here at daybreak to look the job over. Here. You take drink of water. Me look at leg. Legs. Is it broken, Tonto? Uh, leg broken. That's what I thought. If you can get me up to the top of the canyon, I live there. Let me put splint on leg first and then me carry you up. There's a ladder. Yeah, let me see it. Someone's coming down the ladder right now. What? I'm coming, Mr. Conway. Oh, that's Kirk. He's the foreman. Are you Mr. Conway? Yes, that's my name. Then you're the engineer in charge of this bridge. That's right. Me make splint of heavy stick and tie it to leg. Great guns, Mr. Conway. What happened to you? Kirk had a bad fall. Well, how'd it happen? Oh, some careless fool left a timber loose stepped on it. Here I am. I'm saying it all, Mr. Conway. I've told you it was dangerous to make an inspection every morning when no one was around, but you insisted on doing it. I know, Kirk. I know. Oh, well, me sorry to hurt you. It's all right. Who were these two? They were riding through the gap and heard me call. Well, me, Tonto. My name's Dan Reed, Mr. Kirk. Oh, well, get that splint in place so we can take the boss to his house. Go on it all anyhow. Just when we're trying to finish the bridge, this has to happen. Well, you're lucky to be alive after a fall like that. Lucky. How can I see that this bridge is done if I've got to be stuck in a shack with a broken leg? Oh, don't worry about the bridge. I'll see that the work goes on, Mr. Conway. Now, you'll have to, Kirk. We've got to get the job done by the time limit. What's more, you'll have to watch out for Sam Hine. That buzzard would do anything to keep us from finishing the bridge. Hine won't try anything, Mr. Conway. You watch out for him just the same. A few more accidents like this one and we'll be licked. Tonto carried John Conway up the ladder and made him as comfortable as possible in his small house. Dan remained with the injured man while the Indian rode to meet the Lone Ranger. The morning advanced with Jim Kirk giving orders to the men who worked on the bridge. Get going. Tie that rope on and lower those timbers. The men below are waiting. Hey, Kirk. Hey, what do you want to say? Mr. Hine has come to speak to you. Hine here. Oh, no, he's the janitor. We're working for him. Shut up. There he comes now. He's seen him. Now go over and run the donkey engine. You know what to do. Yeah, I know what to do. See you later. Good morning, Kirk. Hine, it's dangerous for you to come here. I've been waiting in town for news, Kirk. I didn't get any. So I came to find out why. This bridge is going along on schedule, isn't it? Yes, but you should... Kirk, you took my money and I want something for it. You'll get what you paid for. You guaranteed that Conway wouldn't finish this bridge on time. He won't. But he is. It's ahead of schedule. I'm counting on this job, Kirk. I want it when Conway forfeits a contract. Listen, Hine. Conway had an accident this morning. He did? Yeah. He went out on the bridge to make his usual morning inspection and stepped on a loose timber. He fell into the canyon. He broke his leg. Now you're in charge, huh? That's right. I've just sent Steve over to run the donkey engine. There's a likely to be another accident. Look over there, you can see him. I see him. The cable on that engine is pretty old. Steve's going to hoist some mighty heavy timbers. Oh, there they go. Swinging over the edge of the canyon. Yeah, I see them. They shouldn't put so much weight on that old cable. If it snaps and lets those timbers fall, it'll be awful bad. What's that? The cable. I'm satisfied. All right, what's going on over here, man? What happened there? Oh, what happened? Who's that? What's going on? Well, that's how it happened, Mr. Conway. Steve didn't realize that the cable was old. Con found this busted leg. Oh, it couldn't be helped, Mr. Conway. Anyone hurt, Kirk? Yeah. Timmons was down below. How bad is he hurt? He's dead. Well, I'll see you here, Kirk. Someone has to blame for that. Oh, I don't know, Mr. Conway. Someone has to blame for that, just the same as Skinny Rawlins has to blame for leaving that loose timber that made me fall into the canyon. Well, I fired Skinny for that. Who was to blame for snapping that cable? Well, Mr. Kirk Steve was at the donkey engine. He should have known better than to jerk the line with such a heavy load. You're all going right, you sure? Well, I fired Steve. Well, that won't help any... What about the bridge? Well, it got smashed up pretty bad. Con found the luck. I...let me out of this chair. Mr. Conway, the doctor said... Oh, Dan, Kirk, help me to the window. I've got to see you. You're not to get out of bed. But I... Oh, hang this no good leg. Well, there's nothing to see, Mr. Conway. It's all at the bottom of the canyon where you can't see it. Kirk, what did you do with Timmons? Well, the boys are getting him out of the canyon. You sure he's passed all hell? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we made sure. How long will it take to repair the damage to the bridge? Oh, I'd say about at least two weeks. Two weeks? Well, we... Mr. Conway, you got to lie quiet. That leg's got... I know, Dan, I know. See here, Kirk, we can't spend two weeks repairing that damage. We can't lose two days of progress on that bridge. Well, I don't know what we can do about it. Do, we can get more help, get more men in the job, get the men to work longer hours, work by lanternlight if need be. Well, I'll see what we can do, Mr. Conway. Oh, look up Timmons' family and see if we can do something for them. Right. Oh, gone and all. This ain't the worst luck. Maybe my friends will have some suggestions when they get here, Mr. Conway. Ah, suggestions won't build a bridge. We got to get more men in the job. I tell you... Well, who? Oh, Conway. Oh, quick. Mass. Oh, Conway, I'm glad you're here. What's the idea of sneaking in the rear door? What's the... Hey. Dan, is this the friend you spoke of? Yes. I've been looking your bridge over. I reckon I wasn't very sociable when you came through that door. I saw a man asking... There's just been another accident. Yes, Dan, I know. Sit down. I owe a lot to this lad in the Indian. Conway, I've heard of situations similar to this. Yes? A rival contractor wanted to take the job away from the man who was building a tunnel. There were a lot of accidents on that job. At least they were called accidents. What are you getting at? I wonder if that accident would have happened if you had been on the job. But I... Say... You mean the hint that Kirk has sold me out? Oh, I didn't say that, Conway. Matter of fact, I don't know that anyone wants to see you fail on this job. Look here. It just happens that there is a buzzard. Oh. A critter by the name of Hind. Hind? Yes, he wanted the job of building the bridge. But he couldn't get the graft worked out the way he liked, so the job came to me. Well, that's interesting. If someone caused that cable to snap, it's a case of murder, isn't it? That's right. Poor Timmons was killed. Golly, do you think that's what happened? It would have to be proved, Dan. See here. Why do you hide your face by that mask? Who are you? You. What's the matter? I'll show you what's the matter. Kirk, what in the... All this dog gone leg easy there, Mr. Conway. I'm sorry to bust in like this, Mr. Conway. But this masked man and Indian with him have been snooping around asking questions. I looked for the foreman, Kirk, but you went around. So then you went snooping. I looked at the broken cable. And hittin' that it might have been broken intentionally. It's possible. And if it was, Timmons was murdered. We don't need masked outlaws around here. I'm not an outlaw, Kirk. Well, you're masked. Did you examine the broken cable? Sure I did. It was none too strong. The wrong kind of handling would have broken it. Well, Steve was careless, that's all. It's none of your business, anyhow. You fired him, didn't you? Sure I did. And you gave him the pay he had coming, didn't you? What about it? I talked to him. He was getting ready to go into town with a pocket full of spending money. What's that got to do with you? It has quite a bit to do with Mr. Conway and the bridge. Especially if Steve snapped that cable on purpose. Why, what do you get in that? If Steve's in town for the rest of the day spending his money, he'll be in a very talkative mood by evening. He might be made to admit snapping the cable. You mean to say he did it on purpose? I don't know, Kirk. But I think he should be questioned, don't you? Someone might have hired him. Right. Maybe he's right, Conway. I'll go into town and see him tonight. Perhaps it would be better if Sheriff Wallace questioned him. Well, you're hitting and I can't be trusted. You're as much as saying that I fixed it for Steve. No, no, Kirk, Kirk, Kirk. I'll handle this, Conway. This critter's just trying to stir up a lot of distrust and trouble. I'm gonna teach you a lesson you won't forget. Eddie Kirk, don't start anything. You can't finish. I can finish anything I start. I'll show you. You missed, Kirk. I won't miss the next time you... I'm sorry. Well, yeah. No man does that and gets away with it. He's got a gun. No more of that. My hand, my hand. You ask for that, Kirk. You wait. You just wait. I'll get you for this. You better get your hand bandaged. Collin will fix it for you. He's outside somewhere. I don't need his help. Now, Kirk, don't let your hot temper make a fool of you. The mask man is right. He's a meddler that's here to stir up trouble for all of us, Conway. Now, see that he pays for knocking me down and shooting me. For out a lot of distrust among the men on this job. Mr. I... I'm afraid you've made yourself an enemy. So it seems. Kirk ain't one to take what you gave him without doing something about it. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue our story. Shortly after his fight with Jim Kirk, the Lone Ranger called Tonto to Conway's house for a meeting with the contractor. Conway, when you said that a man named Hein was after this job, I was sure there was something underhanded in the accident. You know about Hein? Yes. Hein was a contractor who built the bridge at Little Rock. Yes. The original builder lost that contract because of a series of accidents. Oh, I see. How long has Hein been in cold water? He came there before I started work on the bridge. He's been there ever since. That's interesting. Him crook. Him plenty crook. We could just prove that. The time limit wouldn't mean anything if Hein wasn't on hand to take the job over. We're going to try to prove it. You spoke of questioning Steve. Yes. That might lead to something. Steve didn't have anything to do with your fault. No, no. The skinny Rawlins had left that loose timber for me to step on. He was fired this morning? Yeah. Isn't Jim Kirk very quick to fire men when you need all the help you can get? Well, I wonder... How far do you trust Kirk? I don't know. I never had reason to distrust him. But now... Conway, Toto and I are going to cold water. Right now? Yes, Dan. You're going to question Steve and skinny? No, not exactly. We're going to use them as bait. Come on, Toto. Ah, you ready? We'll see you later, Conway. I'll be here. Dan, those two friends of yours are certainly unusual men. You bet they are, Mr. Conway. Especially the Mask Man. Why is he so eager to help me? Mr. Conway, that's the Lone Ranger. What? Sure. I thought you knew it. The Lone Ranger. Come on, Toto. Get it up. That evening, a lot of things happened in the town of Coldwater. First of all, Sheriff Wallace had a visitor, a Mask Man who he had met previously. I don't know as it could be done. It can be done, Sheriff. Well... All right, it's worth a try, anyway. A few minutes later, Toto met the Mask Man in the shadows behind the cafe. Kirk just right into town. All right, Toto. The Sheriff will have his deputies ready. Or Steve and skinny in the cafe. And there. Then you know what to do, huh? Toto knew what to do. Because the Mask Man had given him careful instructions. He went to the cafe and sought skinny and Steve who were seated at the corner table. For some time, there was nothing to attract the attention of the others in the cafe. Then, without warning, violent action exploded in the corner. I never thought such a thing. That's super work. Go, go, go! Oh, it's a fire! A red-skinned sure-hand! Keep a plan out! Don't get him shot! Back it up! Come along! It's the Sheriff! Bust it up! The fight was halted, and Toto was taken with skinny and Steve to the one-room jail that opened from the Sheriff's office. Hind, the contractor, was already in the room. And when he saw the Sheriff... I demand my immediate release, Sheriff Wallace. Now, hold on, Mr. Hind. Why was I brought here in the first place? I reckon my deputy misunderstood Mr. Hind. You weren't to be locked up like a criminal. Well, I should hope not. I just sent the deputy to bring you here to answer a few questions. That's all. And open the store and let me out. Ask your questions and let me go. Oh, just a minute. Someone just came into my office. I gotta see who it is. You wait right here, and I'll be back in a minute. Sheriff! Hey, Sheriff Wallace! I'll be right there. I'll be back in a minute, Mr. Hind. You'd better be. Coming right up! Thought you'd have your hands full on the bridge job at the canyon. Well, I have. But you see, Sheriff, I came into town to find a couple of men I fired this morning. Oh? Yeah. Uh, Steve and Skinny. I understand you got them locked up. Well, they got into a row at the cafe. A sheriff, I, uh... Uh, I suppose they told you why they were fired. Oh, not yet, Kirk. The fact is I haven't had much chance to talk to them. Well, then I'll tell you. They, uh, they got careless and the man was killed. Hmm. That's bad. I just had word that the thing won't end with my firing him. No? No. You see, words got around that, uh, well, that Steve and Skinny were paid to make trouble. Oh. Is that so? Mm-hmm. Oh, I don't believe it, but you know how men are when a story like that gets started. And I came to town to warn the two that they'd, uh... well, that they'd better clear out when they got a chance. I see. Well, I got them here. It's a fine against them. I'll pay it. You can pass along what I said and just turn them loose. Well, don't you want to talk to them yourself? No, no, no. They, uh... See, they're probably sore at me for firing them. Uh, is there a fine to pay? No, that ain't necessary. I'll turn them loose. They're good. Want to wait? No. No, no. Might be just a little embarrassing. No, I'll shove on. Suit yourself, Kirk. Now, tell them what I told you and they can use their own judgment. Mm-hmm. Good night, Kirk. Good night. Ornery buzzard. As Kirk left his office, Sheriff Wallace stood in the open doorway looking after him for a few moments. He seemed lost in deep thought. Then, closing the door, he turned and walked slowly toward the cell, where Tauna was confined with Steve behind. Hmm. So Kirk was thoughtful enough to come here to warn the too many, says he fired. Sure, putting himself out to be kind-hearted. Ha, ha, ha. Looks like the masked man's plan is working out just like he figured it would at that. And now I'll unlock the cell door and tell them they're free to go. I'll unlock the cell, gents. Being as I'm letting Steve and Skinny go, the engine can leave, too. As for you, Mr. Heinen... I won't go. What's that, Steve? Ian Skinny ain't leaving here. That Redskim told us a few things and Kirk's coming here proves it was true. What are you talking about? You heard what Kirk said. He came here to warn you. He came here to fix us so as he could shoot us and have someone else to take the blame. Oh, why do you want to shoot here? I ain't talking, but I ain't leaving here. What are you waiting for, Redskim? Me not going. Of all the crazy... Well, it's dark outside. Too dark to see who comes from here. Maybe fellow, shoot me. Maybe think me one of these two fellow... I never seen a like of this. Mr. Heinen, you're free to leave. I, uh... I'm in no hurry. You can't stay here. Me and Skinny won't leave. Kirk's afraid we'll tell something. He wants to shut us up for Keith. These fellow take pay from Kirk. Get Cash to smash Bridge. What? Is that the truth? We ain't admit nothing, but we ain't leaving. Now, look here, Inge, and that don't make no sense. Why would Kirk pay anyone to smash the Bridge? He wouldn't gain nothing by it? This fellow pay a mind? No, no, no. That's not true. Come to think of it, if Conway fell down on his job, you'd take it over, wouldn't you? Are you making an accusation? No. But there ain't no one else who'd pay to block work on the Bridge. The word of an Indian. Then you don't take no stock in what the Injun said? Of course not. Yeah, Steve, you see, there's nothing to be afraid of. Well, Hine, go out first. The sheriff wants to ask me a few questions. I've changed my mind about that. Hine, I'll ask him some other time. You can go. But I, I want to speak to you about something. Tomorrow, I'll do. Stop hedging about it, Hine. Hine, you know better than anyone else if Kirk was paid to damage the Bridge. Well, look, well, someone else might have done it. Well, there ain't no one else who'd pay for that kind of work. You go out first. No, wait. You go out first. No. No, Kirk will shoot it. It's dark. He can't see. Then you admit you hired him and he paid babies. I admit nothing. Let me go. Make an Indian let me go. Now, open the door. Wait, wait, Sheriff, you want to ask me some questions. That's why you brought me here. Let these others go. We can talk. I'll ask you the question I figured on asking Hine. Did you hire men to smash that Bridge? Answer yes or no. No. All right, then. We got nothing to fear from Kirk or anyone else. Now, get out of this. No, no, no. Wait, wait. I'll confess. I'll admit it. You hired Kirk to smash the Bridge? Yes. And he hired them too? Yes, but I didn't intend to kill anyone. I was on accident, Sheriff. Get behind that far door. Put him in there, Tondo. You get back. Get back. Good work, Tondo. I'm not fixing her. Do you chance in the next room hear the confession? Yeah, we heard it all. We admit it. Good hunting, Sheriff. Yeah. What's this? Who are these men? Deputies and townsmen, Hine, so as we'd have witnesses to your confession. You framed this. It wasn't my idea. Get in there, Kirk. All right, all right. Don't shuffle it. Well, Kirk, inside your hands so neat. Well, Hine, you confounded fool. This was all frame. What, Kirk? I was a masked man outside. He grabbed and wrote me as soon as I left the office. You'd kept your mouth shut. They wouldn't have had a thing on him. Kirk, you ornery pole cat. You would have shot the men that helped you if you'd had the chance. Yes, and if you hadn't come here, they wouldn't have been able to trap us. Will you squeal or kill her? Shut up. Now, both of you, keep still. If you hadn't showed up, Kirk, we'd have got you anyhow. Hine would have squealed just as loud when we got him convinced that you were waiting outside. Open that door, deputy. Sheriff. What is it, Tondo? Conway, get more time to finish bridge now. Hell, shucks. Without Hine waiting to jump in and take the job over, I reckon Conway can have as much time as he needs. No, that's good. Me, go now. Get in there with your pals, Kirk. Hey, will you never suck this one up, shirt of Wallace? No, I admit that, Kirk. It's here with the plan that was thought up by the Lone Ranger. Get him up.

I just want to showcase a quick and small video to discuss a little bit of some that came out in a recent zero-geely newsletter An article that they had mentioned something extraneous was a unit code analyzer and stuff on zero-width spaces By a tweet on Swift on security And I thought this was super cool because I had seen it recently in the MITRE CTF that I had played recently They're the capture flag competition I don't want to just straight like rip her content here So I don't really mean to but I do want to parse through it with you So she explains that recently she had posted a tweet earlier fast.com noted and she had explained like yeah This this URL fast.com doesn't turn into a link like Twitter would normally have it do And that's because she did something clever with it So if I go to this original link here just to see this this tweet this fast.com Would normally as she explains that are on the second tweet be displayed With kind of a thumbnail and a description and just that just that sample of what the website is So if I actually showcase this to you within idle and I use that as like my default Python Explorer I'm just gonna put this in a string At least initially I'll just paste it in because you'll see that hey There is a space or some garbage that was just in this and that wasn't originally when we had read it At least on the browser and in Twitter if I put this in a string and I let Python try and interpret it You can see the word fast and the word calm But there are clearly some other bites in here that are being weird and are kind of hiding But it just looks like a space at least an idle. However, it's just Nothing or at least seemingly nothing while it's rendered on this web browser. So This is what she goes on to explain that this is a Unicode character for a zero-width space and she explains this Unicode analyzer online font space calm and you can explore it there if you really wanted to but it explains that This is a zero-width space. It's a Unicode character that doesn't have any width, but still is a space It takes up a it is it is a character She goes to explore it within the Windows utility and word just to show showcase the character map And you can find that Unicode key. I think it's two zero zero B or Bravo And you can use it later on and later on in fact if I pull idle back up And I just take this this space key here or if I copy and paste that block that is the zero key space I'll put this in the Google browser up here in the corner and I'll keep pacing I'm holding down control V right now. So I'll select all that and I'll go out on here back to idle and I can highlight all this This just looks like nonsense It looks like there's nothing really there, but it is just that Unicode character the zero-width space So I thought this was super cool because I wanted to showcase this kind of used for evil or used for something else Again, I don't want to I don't want to just kind of rip on on swift on securities content But she explains like hey this could maybe be used nefariously So I want to show you what happened when I was playing in the MITRE CTF MITRE CTF 210 So I'm gonna try and get to the content that we are at right now I'll speed this up a little bit so I can show you because right now on the left hand side I'm looking at the source code on the right I try to just whip out some Python code to be able to get the web page and see if I can view it a Little bit differently because you can see a bunch of zeros here On the left hand side that is the challenge prompt The challenge was titled challenge dot fine 55 just being that index the description and length greater They're equal to 374 so that was kind of a pointer at least to me or the player or the end user was that Yeah, there are 374 zeros here, but it's considered greater than that because There are other things in here There were zero with spaces that I while I was going through this process didn't even realize and even didn't even know So for a while I tried to go through some crazy things with Python requests like to try and download a raw form See if I can get like Unicode characters out of it when I didn't realize that I was already dealing with this stuff in My clipboard like I I had pasted it into idle earlier, and I had the exact same Kind of characters popping up there were like weird Unicode things and spaces in between all the zeros. I want to get to a point in the video where I show you this I'll try and skip around here. This is me trying to download it in the raw form. It just looks like garbage I don't I don't know where my head was at, but you know, that's how it is for a capture flag game Okay, so here. I am in idle just a moment back here I copy this I open it in idle and you can see just then right up in the above right up above there I paste them all in and it's all the zeros with spaces and what looks like pipes here or other random Unicode characters So this is weird, right? I'll slow this down and at that point. I notice. Wow. These are all these random bytes So what is I what I do is I put these into some blind text and I try and Make a distinction as to which are the real zeros and which are the characters that are either that Kind of pipe stick looking like thing or which are that fake zero with character space Let's speed through this because what I start to think is that this is actually a steganography problem Where one of those zero with spaces Must at least maybe the zero with spaces go away, but all of the things that look like pipes are Trying to refer to a one or a zero So maybe the character set that I'm looking at is a zero and a one and maybe it's trying to tell me something in binary. I Thought that would be the hidden message that I would be trying to decipher from this challenge This was in the cryptography section of the MITRE CTF game, but nonetheless, I Started to do it in Python and I just kind of bailed and put it back into ask you out hex So silly me. I realized I didn't get anything. So what I did was I switched the zeros and ones It was going to be the 50% chance whether I got it right Okay, are the ones in the right place or the zeros in the right place If not, I would flip them and the way that I do that is I replace one of the values with a temporary value Just a pipe in this case so I can replace all the ones back to zero and then I can replace all the pipes back to one And I do this quickly here. So now when I paste this in ask you to hex comm I get the flag MITRE CTF Academy MITRE cyber Academy and the flag is watch your clipboard and I thought that was fantastic. So You wouldn't have known that those are zero with characters had you not explored your clipboard Had I looked at them in a unicode analyzer like Swift was saying and in that tweet or at least pasted them an idol I thought it was weird that it had those those strange characters So a cool thing to note wanted to show it to you guys zero with characters they are totally a thing and Make sure to double check whatever is in your clipboard or there may be if you're suspicious about something maybe an idol or a Unicode analyzer so totally keep track of that if you end to have any notion of unicode characters Cool. Thanks for watching guys. I hope you enjoyed this video really simple stuff I really wanted to just kind of showcase it because it was someone similar in the news Seeing on zero daily was kind of neat and I wanted to bring out a show shout out to another individual's content and Still showcase some of my own, but thanks for watching guys. I'll see you in a later video	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZJ1R0kc6bs", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's with a heavy heart that I rise today to offer my condolences and prayers to the family and friends of John D. Bradley, a trailblazer, if there ever was one, that left the lasting legacy on our whole region. John grew up on a family farm in Dover. He was an active citizen in the Chatham-Kent community for his entire life. John served his country proudly during World War II and continued to serve his community when he returned home. He basically built most of Northeast Chatham, projects such as the Thamesley Mall, the Wheels Inn, the development of the Birdland Subdivision, Thames Towers, Union Gas Building, Country Kitchen Restaurant, and the Holiday Inn were all part of his legacy. John never gave up on Chatham. He saw an opportunity where others saw loss. John and his two brothers developed the Wheels Inn out of the old Progressive Welders Factory. That's a long time ago, Speaker, and I might add, I grew up right around that area and I remember it very, very well. In operation for 37 years, the facility was extensively expanded to include the Wheels Fitness and Racket Club, the Wheels Spock, a country spa, the Wheels Bowling Center, and the Wild Zone and Usement Park. While passionate about business, John was perhaps even more passionate about his community. In 1990, he founded the Chatham Community Foundation, which now gives hundreds of thousands of dollars to local charities. He's a strong supporter of Ducks Unlimited following in the footsteps of his father Bruce when it came to wildlife conservation and to show how much he meant to the municipality they named the John D. Bradley Convention Center in his honor. He's proud and honest spirit embodied. He will never be forgotten. He was a man who did all he could to build a community in every sense. Chatham Camp will surely miss one of its favorite sons. Thank you, Speaker, for allowing me to continue with this. I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Member for Windsor to come. Speaker, because of abandon the river, the city of Detroit is actually due north of the city of Windsor. I know it's hard for some folks to picture that. My friend Marty Gervais is Windsor's poet laureate, and here's his poem, Upside Down. It's not a happy face, this shoreline of ours. Maybe it's because we're upside down, looking north instead of south like the rest of the country. Maybe we haven't learned to smile so readily our weakness betrayed in that frown. I heard this first from the nuns and riverside, at the school two blocks south of the river. With my buddies, we'd slip down past the heavy sewer grates and wend our way underground down to the shoreline, soak in ankles, wet shoes and pant legs, and emerge wide-eyed to Detroit's dark, smoke-rising signals that blackened the blue sky. We were a band of boys pretending to be, to come see, or Simon Gertie, or John Wayne, or Gene Autry. The nuns and riverside said we were the upside down people. So we did our crazy cartwheels along the solitary riverbank, saluting the Americans to the north. Speaker, Marty has invited five other poets, Laureates, to a special reading event at Willis-Dead Manor and Windsor on the 12th of November, save the date. I invite all members of the legislature to join us to see the value in my private member's bill to create the position of poet Laureate for Ontario. Thank you. Member Davis, the member from York Southwestern. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to rise in the house today to speak about the Jane Street Hub in my writing of York Southwestern, who celebrated their fifth anniversary just this past week. This project has been funded by the Government of Ontario and the United Way, Toronto, and has now become an integral part of the community. It is a one-stop centre for health and social services, which benefits residents of western Mount Dennis and three-two-eigh neighbourhoods and surrounding areas. As an MPP, it is sometimes hard to see a project from start to finish. It has been my pleasure to be part of the Jane Street Hub project since its initial stages, from the drawings to the development of operations, and now to a flourishing hub where six different community organisations have partnered together. And those include Unison Health and Community Services, Macaulay Child Development Centre, Medanta Community Services, North York Community House, and York Town Child and Family Centre. These non-profit organisations provide a wide range of invaluable services to those in need, and they are all under this one roof for the benefit and the convenience of our community. The help also provides a space available for community meetings, including the use of a kitchen that residents, groups, non-profit organisations, and others utilize. Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to have the Jane Street Hub located in York Southwestern. Thank you. Do you remember statements from Nipissing? Mr. Speaker, communities in Nipissing are continuing to struggle with the problem of nuisance bears. They note there continues to be a large number of human encounters annually, which tie up police resources and personnel costing local taxpayers significant dollars. Municipalities note that MNR is currently assessing the success of the Spring Bear Hunt pilot project, established in eight locations in the north. They also note the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters advises the annual hunt is a successful wildlife management tool that minimizes human encounters and brings $40 million in economic activity to Ontario. City of North Bay and the Township of Chisholm passed resolutions this summer asking that the annual Spring Bear Hunt be reinstated permanently and be allowed to continue during the province's review of the two-year pilot project. I can tell you about my own personal experiences with bears coming onto my property in Corbeel and in fact Patty and I just saw another bear while driving to a rate payers meeting a couple of Fridays ago. To the Minister, I say this, you know that Northerners know what the solution to this problem is and we've always known. It's time to listen. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you. Do you remember the statements from Member for Oklahoma, Manitou? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are heroes amongst us, Mr. Speaker. Hero, Ian Boss, Ian lost his father, excuse me, Ted Boss, after a brave fight with cancer on May 21st, 2015, Ian embarked on a cross-country walk in memory of his father and in honour of the excellent care that his father received. His walk is to raise awareness and of life care and to stimulate the difficult discussions for palliative care societies across Canada. His message is simple, support hospice palliative care in your community. I walked 26 kilometres with this gentleman. We talked about family, dreams, his family, his dreams and the need for proper guardrails across the country. Ian knows what I'm talking about. But this man is walking across Canada, Ian's walk for end of life care. Look it up, that's a hero. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario awarded Minda Moya General Practitioner Dr. Andrew Stadnick with the 2014 Outstanding Physician Award. Over 20,000 doctors in Ontario, only four doctors received the significant award. In a humble hero's reply, he said, I just find it a little awkward when there are so many other doctors across the island and province that are more deserving. Dr. Stadnick, along with superhero psychic Dr. Nick Gies, saved what has now been a thriving hospital in Minda Moya and they have mentored a team of health care professionals who are all heroes in my books. Dr. Stadnick, you are a hero to so many. These heroes must remain anonymous, but like any caped crusader who swoops to save the day, the township of A Saganak has a super local garden hero who donated an entire harvest to the local food bank. A truck and trailer filled with local grown produce is greatly appreciated by the area families in need. A Saganak super local garden hero, whoever you are, thank you. You saved the day. Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today because it's time for all of us to think outside the car and my riding of Burlington is embracing this opportunity. Our Mayor, Rick Goldring, has launched a social media campaign to promote alternative transportation this fall to help facilitate a greener, healthier and less congested Burlington. In my riding, 90% of all trips are made by car. In 2011, 50% of daily trips in Burlington were five kilometers or less. That's slightly higher than the national average of 40% of all trips and it's only a 20 minute bike ride. The City of Burlington's Think Outside the Car Challenge began on September 15th, shortly after students returned to school and will run until October 30th. In fact, the launch event was held at a high school in my riding, M.M. Robinson. Many of the students at M.M. walk or ride their bikes to school and they are led and encouraged by their very enthusiastic teacher, Jeff Shepherd. We know that approximately 40% of urban air pollution is generated by the transportation sector and that obesity is a rising problem in our province. A transit like cycling, walking or public transit reduces air pollution, improves physical health and helps to build a more safe and connected community. As a regular GO train commuter encyclist, I think outside the car because it gives me a chance to see my community from a different perspective. Helps me to stay active and also makes economic sense. Speaker, I'd like to challenge all the members of this House and their constituents to think outside the car and to share their hashtag think outside the car moment on social media. To participate in the challenge, please visit the City of Burlington website or follow the hashtag think outside the car on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. For the members of the member from Latin America and the Latin American community. Thank you, Speaker. Mr. Speaker, referendums have a long history throughout this country and our province. Some of the biggest questions facing our nation have been determined by referring the matter to a referendum, such as the conscription crisis of 1942. The referendum and repeal of prohibition and the Charter Town court. Referendums are a necessary tool that complements our democracy and empower citizens by giving them the opportunity to influence public policies directly. We've also seen referenda used recently in Ontario for both de-amalgamation and proportional representation. But referenda are always at the prerogative of the government, not at the behest of the people. If all governments were responsive and respectful of people, there would never be a need for either democracy or referenda. However, sometimes majority governments attempt to steamroll legislation through and in the process stifle public opinion and influence. This has become all too familiar here in our assembly. The sale of Hydro One is but the most recent example. Today I'll be introducing my private members bill, the Referendum Act, which will allow people of Ontario to trigger a referendum via petition, a mandate in the government to hold a referendum on these important policies. Referenda would be a great step forward in empowering citizens and enhancing our democracy here in Ontario, and I encourage all members to support the Referendum Act. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This past weekend I had the pleasure of helping mark the 25th anniversary of the bread and roses housing cooperative in Kitchener. This is a very unique, not-for-profit mixed income community. It's situated in a heritage building in downtown Kitchener, and it's just down the street from my constituency office. Launched in 1990, the co-op consists of 66 apartments and two adjacent buildings. The heritage building has 21 apartments and the six-story high rise includes the remaining 45. Now what makes this residence very unique is the rent. It's affordable in downtown Kitchener. The people who live there promote collective responsibility and well-being. Everyone pitches in sharing their skills as they govern themselves through collective decision-making and the handling of their finances. There is a special focus on diversity and respect among neighbors, and the residents are also concerned with their impact on the environment as they try to minimize their environmental footprint wherever possible. Mr. Speaker, the story behind the name Bread and Roses is rooted in a 1920s union song sung by textile workers who were rallying support for better working conditions and wages. The line Give Us Bread but Give Us Roses was the inspiration for the founding board. They believe passionately that residents needed affordable housing with a very strong sense of community. I congratulate them on creating such a unique, affordable and healthy place to live and I enjoy having them as neighbors. Thank you. Today I rise to recognize the 17 high school students in the Peel region who recently received a United Achievers Club scholarship. On September the 19th the United Achievers Club of Brampton held their 31st annual scholarship dinner and recognition awards. This annual event recognizes students with Black or Caribbean heritage who have a strong academic record and have been accepted to pursue post-secondary studies at a registered college or university. 31 years ago the United Achievers Club of Brampton presented its first $250 scholarship to a graduating student from Brampton. In the three decades since a total of 334 students have been awarded scholarships totaling nearly $337,000. In addition to academics the students claim a variety of interests and talents as well as strong community involvement. Established in 1980 the United Achievers Club of Brampton also recognizes members and community workers who have made significant contributions to the growth and development of the organization. Mr. Speaker I want to take this opportunity to thank the United Achievers Club of Brampton for the leadership they provide to youth in my community and their 35 years of promoting the culture and achievements of Canadians of Black and Caribbean heritage. I also wish to commend this year's scholarship award recipients on their achievements to date. I am grateful for this recognition you have received and for all you will contribute in the coming years to make our province an even better place to live. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I thank all members for their statements.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZX-gq6LY-w", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

But anyway, all right, good luck. It's a compliment. Lee, what? It's not really a compliment, but we'll knock it down that rabbit hole. See you, Lee. Bye. Take care of yourself. Nine til noon show on the way. But first, it's news with Donal. Good morning. Thank you, Greg. Good morning. The Health Minister is expected to update Senior Minister's letter today on the overcrowding issues facing Irish hospitals. It comes after the Irish Nurses and Human Rights Organization counted 931 people awaiting beds yesterday morning. That's a new record. There were 52 in letter Kenny and 48 in Sligo. That's a Northwest total of 100. Minister Stephen Donnelly says despite calls from the INMO for the reintroduction of a mask mandate, public health advice is unlikely to change. He shares the HSE's view that the crisis hasn't yet peaked. The modelling is difficult in terms of being accurate. However, what I can tell you is the HSE's view was that this is likely to get worse. We are likely to see more pressure. They don't believe that the flu wave has peaked. And so the question is, well, what can we do about that? The health care professionals have said to us all over many years we need more beds and they're right. House prices rose by just over 9% last year in Donegal, according to Daft.ie's latest analysis. The average house price in the county now 197,000 euro compared to a national average of just under 310,000. This time last year the Donegal rise was 14%. Economist Roland Lyons is the author of the Daft.ie report. He says people moving out of the cities during the Covid era created a lot of demand in the regions and in particular in Connacht Ulster. However, he says that's now eased significantly. Earlier in the year prices in Munster were increasing at 14% year-in-year and indeed in Connacht they were almost 20%. Both of those markets now have cooled significantly and they're in line with the national average with increases over the course of the year of about 6% or 7%. What that means is that those Covid increases that we saw, they're over in terms of dramatic increases over the course of 6, 9, 12 months in 2021 and into 2022. All aspects of oil emergency planning could be put on a statutory footing. It's part of a government plan to strengthen the state's capacity to respond to a potential oil emergency. However, they're stressing that's not the situation at present with more. Here's Iman Falvi. Ireland currently has an adequate oil reserve and a disruption to supply is thought unlikely. But the coalition is aware of the impact any disruption would have on households and businesses. This move is part of the commitment to ensuring the risk is prepared for. The government's approach is in keeping with that of other EU member states. Key measures to be introduced in the new legislation include clarity around the powers of the minister and how quickly they can be deployed to control the supply and distribution of fuel in an emergency, putting all aspects of oil emergency planning on a statutory footing and establishing a register of oil suppliers to ensure fast communication to retailers. Wendy with Bright Spells and Scattered Shars today. Some of those showers heavy in top temperatures of 9 to 11 degrees Celsius, fresh to strong and gusty west to southwest winds. It'll be mostly dry early tonight and chilly for a time with temperatures hitting 4 to 7 tonight. Becoming milder toward morning without breaks of rain and drizzle spreading from the south, moderate south to southwest, breezes would increase fresh and gusty later this evening and into the night. And that's Island Radio News. We're back with news again at 10 o'clock. Idel Cashman, liver transplant recipient encourages you to talk about organ donation with your family. People say it's the gift of life and that's almost become a cliche, but it literally is the gift of new life. It's just so important for people to talk about organ donation because it's not something I would have given a second thought to before it became my life. For information, visit hse.ie forward slash organ donation and start talking about organ donation today from the HSE. The county's number one talk show, the 9 till noon show on Island Radio. And now, it's time for the talk of the Northwest, the 9 till noon show with Greg Hughes on Island Radio. Hello, good morning to you. Four minutes past nine, Wednesday the 4th of January 2023.

Sorry on our Facebook page, either of them. Highland Radio Hope or Highland Radio News & Sport or on YouTube, Highland Radio Ireland. Or you can watch directly in your browser on our website. Just click watch live and get involved there. Send us a message, say hello. Right, let's look at what's making the front pages of the newspapers before we make our own headlines. Let's start with the Innish Times. They tell us that the number of people seeking assistance from St. Vincent de Paul in Bunkrana has almost doubled on the same time last year while donations to the organisation in the town have dropped by around 50%. That's quite a swing, isn't it? The voluntary organisation in the town has experienced an uptake in families seeking help since September as families deal with inflation and the rising costs of fuel and electricity with a striking change being the number of people in employment seeking assistance. And that's a trend that's being seen nationally, not just here in the Northwest. The Finvali Voice this morning, Airbnb, the most popular form of property letting in Donegal, faces tough new restrictions in the new year. Property for rent in Donegal, say staff.ie, 73 times more likely to be an Airbnb than a long-term rental of the over 1700 properties for rent in the county last summer. Just 23 were long-term rentals. The remainder were Airbnb, a highly flexible system under which clients rent a property for a few days or weeks under conditions which vary widely from property to property. Now the state is clamping down on what is often seen as a free-for-all system before rules applied to rent pressure zones. But seemingly, according to that article, it's going to be a cross the board. They were finalised in December, I believe. The Donegal Post tells us that eight people lost their lives as a result of road traffic collisions in Donegal last year. They form part of the grim statistic of 155 road fatalities across the Republic in 2023. But for the Donegal families affected, it will remain a pain that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Many others will have to live with life-changing injuries, along with family and friends grieving for lives lost needlessly. Brian O'Donnell, Donegal's road safety officer, said that a visit to any collision, location, an emergency department or coroner's court will bring home the reality of destroyed lives, horrific deaths and grieving families following road traffic death and injury. On to the nationals now, and as you can imagine, the situation in Ireland's hospitals is dominating much of the front pages, and perhaps you've got your own story to tell or your own opinion to share. I invite you to use the numbers I mentioned earlier on. Text or WhatsApp or wait 660, 25,000 or call 07491, 25,000. I've been sent stories privately, of course, on my social media of what people endured over Christmas and into the new year at the local hospital or in trying to access NowDoc or their own GP for that matter. We're going to be speaking about this a little later on in the programme as well, of course. But emergency department consultants are warning more unnecessary deaths will occur in hospitals as patients struggle to access timely care due to overcrowding. It came as Health Minister Stephen Donnelly admitted things were likely to get worse. The number of people waiting on a bed hit a record high yesterday, 931 patients on trolleys. They've been tracking numbers for 20 years. It's never been worse. Experts say this is likely to increase as elective procedures resume after Christmas, while some fear surgeries may be delayed or cancelled as a result of University Hospital Limerick, which had 97 patients waiting on a bed yesterday, said only urgent elective surgeries will go ahead in the coming days. And that elective word in surgeries is almost as if, you know, people are deciding to go in for a surgery, but it can wait. In many cases, they are incredibly important surgeries. Patients have reported spending up to nine days on trolleys and sleeping on floors. One woman who was kicked in the face by a horse told the Irish independence she waited 14 hours for an x-ray. And those stories are just right across the country. There's just no doubt about that. On to the Irish Times. Again, of course, it has overcrowding in hospitals, likely to worsen due to flu, but also they carry the story that the state is facing a shortfall of more than 14,000 beds for refugees before the end of March with government briefing documents starkly warning that the current accommodation system is unsustainable. A lot of hotels want their rooms back as well for one reason or another, which is going to be a problem as people have settled in communities and children have settled into schools. These hotel rooms no longer available. No property to rent in those particular areas. What are they going to do? It was always a short-term plan. And perhaps maybe if they had come up with something more long-term it would have been more sustainable. But papers drawn up last month by the Department of Integration show protected shortfalls in the immediate short-term and warns that a significant acceleration in cross-government efforts will be needed to source more accommodation. Without it they note, it's inevitable that there will be a shortage of available accommodation and internal modelling shows gaps in provision of accommodation emerging. Briefing documents drawn up by Minister of State Joe O'Brien, who's taking up new responsibility in the Department of Integration, warns that the present provision model is also unsustainable as oversight of accommodation at this scale and pace entails many challenges. And not to mention too, we are seeing increases in population, which is putting pressure on various services, and there doesn't seem to be any planning to deal with that either. So... And also too, still being contacted by people who offered second properties for refugees. They haven't even got a callback, which doesn't make much sense to me. The Irish Daily Mail health experts, we must return to masks. I don't know if we're able to have this conversation now without it being a pro-mask anti-mask thing. I think, you know, is there an argument for the return of masks to try and slow down all the spread of all respiratory illness, but then those that are against masks are dead against them? And it feeds into sort of an awful lot more than that, than those that are pro-them. I've started to feel uncomfortable wearing them out in public. Some people are being approached saying, why are you wearing that mask? So I don't know if we can ever come up with some sort of a consensus from a healthcare perspective as a society anymore, because we're so divided on such issues. But health experts, they want the immediate return of mandatory mask-wearing as hospitals buckle under the strain of respiratory viruses. The number of patients on trolleys hit a new record of 931 yesterday, 171 more than the previous highest total of 760 set a fortnight ago. But you heard from Stephen Donnelly there at this stage, they are not going to go down that route. And I suppose some might argue that the lack of sort of interaction, because a lot of people were staying at home or wearing masks has contributed to where we are now in terms of a spike in RSV flu, COVID and what have you. So above my pay scale, I really don't know what the right thing is in that regard. On to the sun now, sales of new electric vehicles soared by 81% last year according to the latest figures. The Society of the Irish Motor Industry said 105,000 odd new cars were registered last year, up slightly on the figure for 2021. 15,678 electric cars were registered in 2022. That's up from 8,600. And so it goes too many numbers in there for me, but suffice to say you add all the electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid, the most popular car at the moment. They're out selling diesel and petrol. More than 350 people have been prosecuted in the last five years for not keeping their dogs under control. This is according to the Irish Daily Mirror. Fina Fallback Bencher, Porgo Sullivan told the Irish Mirror, people with dangerous dogs need to face tougher punishment because they cannot control their animal. Is this something you would agree with? The government has committed to reviewing laws around dangerous dogs in the aftermath of an attack that resulted in a young County Wexford child requiring intensive surgery, and he's pictured heavily scarred on the front, sorry, accompanying this story this morning. Statistics provided to Deputy O'Sullivan by the Court Service show that between January 2017 and October 2022, 363 people were convicted in the District Court for 415 offences related to uncontrolled dogs. However, it also advised that the number could be higher as the prosecutors may not have recorded the crimes under the proper codes on the system. And last but not least, very sad news from the world of sport, the world generally speaking in the Irish Daily Star, friend, star and former top gear host Matt LeBlanc and friend led tributes after the death of American rally driver Ken Block. This guy was just super talented. The Californian who competed in the World Rally Championship and was named Rally American Rookie of the Year in 2005, died in a snowmobile incident in Utah on Monday. He was remembered as a truly talented, sorry, as a true talent and friend taken far too soon following his death at the age of 55. He did compete here in County Donegal as well and the sports team here, Oshin Kelly, would have spoken with him and spent time with him. Has did quite a few others out there and all of them are speaking very highly of him. Sad, sad news, just 55 years of age. Okay, that was a run through some of the stories in the newspapers today.

The chair of the Donegal Joint Policing Committee is Councillor Jerry Monagle, who joins us on the programme. Now, good morning, Jerry. Thanks for taking the time out this morning. Good morning, Greg, and happy year to you and all the staff at Highlands. And same to you and to yours. This is an opportunity, isn't it, really, to lay out the facts for Drew Harris so that he knows what's going on up here. So that excuse can't... I mean, we often hear that senior guard are making their representations, but sometimes they fall on deaf ears in Dublin. This will be an opportunity to put the reality to the top cop, really, effectively. Yeah, we've been trying to get Commissioner Harris to attend the Donegal JPC now for a number of years. And I've met him on a number of occasions through the police authority meetings and expressed the concerns that were talked about at the JPC around personnel and resources, the closure of the guard station, et cetera, et cetera. So, Lucky's finally agreed. He's got the time now in his diary. And we're looking forward to, as he said, to put it to him directly, the concerns and to offer that opportunity to the PPN members and the community of the JPC and also the elected members. Do you have concerns about the future of policing here? I mean, already now pretty much all calls to guard stations are diverted to Galway and are dealt with in Galway. So you ring Milford or letter Kenny. You have a concern in your area now. You put through to a civilian in Galway. And then we have the Donegal Guarded Division being amalgamated with Sligo and Lytrim. It feels, some might feel, that the separation between the force and the public is widening. I'm not saying that is a reality, but do you have concerns in that regard? Yeah, I believe there's a pilot scheme at the minute and Donegal's are taking on that. I have concerns. I see how this sort of central call area is working in relation to Irish Water in the ASB. I see the difficulties we would have and indeed the general public have in describing an area where they live, two people in call centres. And are we really concerned that this will reduce the response times to guard a call out, especially on-going incidents if you're being referred to a call centre and have to... I know they're saying that in immediate emergencies that you'll be redirected to your local guard station. But this is all time it's consuming. And I think it's a very apt time now for the commissioner to come and maybe explain this further and how this, because it's obviously part of his overall policing plan. Yeah, because, I mean, obviously, routinely the public are invited to contact the 24-hour guard stations. You know, with information, vehicles acting suspiciously to have you and, you know, we wouldn't expect everyone in every station to have an intimate knowledge of every town land in their area. But there is some understanding of it and presumably that can build a picture. Now that information is going to be referred to a civilian in Galway. How is that processed? How is that logged? How does that go on the system? How does that feed into the intricacies of where patrols are? We've heard, you know, call the guard a station if you're leaving your home, you know, and we can, you know, drive past now because that all tie in my understanding is pretty much every call that would require a guard or response at any level now will be triaged for one of a better word in Galway. And that works quite successfully with the fire service, my understanding is. But I think policing is slightly different, slightly more nuanced. Yeah, and that would be okay even in a city or large town, large urban area situation, but we're in a very rural area in Donegal and what are also those, Greg, is it removes the personal relationship and the building of that personal relationship between the local community and the members of the Guardship Connor. And that is a retrograde step as far as I would be concerned because I think as long, and the way we've been saying this since Covid and all, but about building the confidence again of the community and the relationships between the community and the Guards, it's quite good and it could get better. And I don't think having a call centre type scenario with people phoneing and getting call centres is going to do that. It's not going to enhance that local relationship between the Guardship Connor and the local community. But them so less easily we'll have the opportunity to raise. Exactly, I kind of have been focusing a little bit on that one, so I want to hear from you what other concerns, and when we do hear regularly from the GRA about building, you know, the Guards are supposed to fight crime but they can't break the speed limit because there's no training there. Inadequate vehicles staffing issues, I mean thankfully it was quiet in letter Kenny over since Stevens Night and New Year's Eve, but my understanding there was four or five Guards here on duty on both nights, so sometimes it can be more down to look than anything else. So run through some of the top concerns you'll be raising with Commissioner Harris. Well, as the top of that list will be Guard of Resources Personnel and the vehicles and the resources needed by the Guard. Also the recruitment of local Guard and, you know, his plan is to get, you know, 303 every 12 weeks. But this doesn't happen and young people don't seem to be taken or looking at the Guard as a serious career path any longer and we need to change that attitude. But we've also got rising instance of drug use road safety issues and the social behaviour. We had what you said was quiet over the Christmas period. I was down to be honest at the might of Garthefts that there was over the last couple of weeks, even here in New York County. So there's obviously a lot of criminal activity. There's also the issue of 97% of the county's border being with the six counties and the problems that that poses. So there's a fair amount for us to discuss with them and a fair amount of issues have been getting raised at our local JPC meetings over this last number of years. So we've asked the JPC members and we've asked them to forward on any concerns, questions that they might have for the commissioner, so that we will give them to them before the meeting, give them time to look at them, understand them and maybe come back with very competent and full responses. And then during the course of his presentation we will allow you then for further, no supplementary questions to be raised on how we in Donegal feel about the new policing model but more importantly about the lack of resources which are clearly is in Donegal and has been for a number of years and how the impact of closing of rural garter stations and the impact that that had on the confidence of the local community. It would be interesting to see if he will understand or does understand or have a comprehension of the sort of unique policing situation there is here. We've got this, as you mentioned so much of the county is bordering the six counties and then of course we're landlocked on the other side as well. Do you know what I mean and on response and all that type of stuff that really needs to be addressed. It will be interesting to see if he gets what is kind of like on this island a unique county to police. Yeah and they explain the whole new policing model of us being amalgamated and with a sleight of only trim Donegal we would like to have a standalone division as it is. We were concerned because it looked like we were losing a superintendent but just recent weeks it's been confirmed that we won't be and we'll be keeping the same number of superintendents. The commissioner is talking to the last police authority meeting about giving more autonomy to local sergeants and inspectors we need to tease that out with them what exactly does that mean but the important thing is Donegal because we will be then at the top end of the country will be linked in with sleight of only trim which are connected to the other divisions down the country so we are going to become very isolated so it's very very important that we don't lose our central base and identity and that we get the necessary resources especially in relation to vehicles to be able to stay in contact with the people but also to fight crime as it rises around whatever part of the county so there's a lot of discussion that probably won't be all addressed on the 16th but at least we'll start the conversation with them and possibly he might come with good news and planning a notice of this he'll be well briefed on what the situation is up here and he'll want presumably to give some nuggets of positivity so we'll have to leave some space for maybe a positive outcome in some areas at least from this meeting and the other thing as a JPC we'd like to get across them is that it's a good work that the JPC is involved in and the partnership with and other agencies here in the county we've had a number of very good initiatives around the cybercrime our Guard of Youth Awards we've had a large number of national youth award winners we have a public order and the social behaviour we're always advocating on behalf of for the CCTV and it's all built in confidence the local text alerts the neighbourhood watch and then we had the property marking machines that we acquired and that was all done through the community and the elected representatives and the Guard of Youth working together identifying issues and problems and putting them in place solutions so we'd like to be telling them about that too and how effective and important joint policing committees are in counties like Donegal Yeah, they aren't there just to slag everything off they're there to proactively work to improve things and it's been shown as you outlined with that extensive list Can you ask the councillor to ask the Guard of Commissioner to put live crime units not something I'm familiar with I'm completely honest with you but maybe one of the JPC members will be raising that issue Yeah, there's a lot of issues to be raised and we'll certainly raise that around that there and if the listener would like to send us some more information in relation to that we'll certainly take it up with them and get a response back to them they can contact me through OK, listen thanks for your time this morning I appreciate it Greg Take care of yourself, that is councillor Gerry McMunnigal he is chair of the Donegal Joint Policing Committee just giving us a preview there of that meeting which takes place with the Guard of Commissioner Drew Harris in Donegal on January 16th and as you would expect we'll have a full run down from that meeting after the fact Hi Greg, just got my first letter Postman since Christmas it's not good news though, it's another rise in the mortgage now 70 euro a month more and they have mica as well no end to it, I mean it's just the injury being the injury being defective concrete block home and the insult being an increase in mortgage interest rates I'll send through some information that those on trackers now are but maybe it's something we should revisit actually if you'd have an interest in that I'll send those on trackers now I've been recommended to fix at this time we had of course Dr Joe talking history on the show yesterday listener says Joe's such a wealth of information a gentleman who looks out for his students so helpful to young teenagers

Furniture Winter Sale Alright we're joined on the programme now by Neil Donahoe Industrial Relations Officer for the North West with the INMO Good morning to you Neil, thanks for taking the call today What are you hearing from your members as it relates to working in an incredibly overstretched and under pressure health system over the last well we could go for years but maybe focus over the last couple of weeks Neil Well the situation is absolutely dire members there in Letter Kenny in particular I met them yesterday they're distraught, they're very concerned about the safety of the public they're really struggling to cope with what's happening at the moment there's a very large attendance in respect of flu COVID or a C and again when you have high levels of infection in the community and people are coming into an overcrowded department that's actually only going to increase there as well within the hospital so they're very concerned about that there's very vulnerable patients sitting on chairs awaiting treatment people waiting an hour for hours and hours and ambulances up to 10-11 hours we're hearing patients being treated in ambulances I mean this is unprecedented the HSE management is there in Letter Kenny this is completely unprecedented they're overwhelmed with what they're trying to cope with at the moment Neil And they are but it must be very difficult to get up in the morning or whatever time of the day you get up for your shift and head into that working environment Neil Absolutely I mean staff are attending there for very long shifts they're not getting breaks they're completely burnt out anyway from the onset of COVID I mean this has been relentless for the last couple of years I mean it has resulted in a lot of difficulties for the HSE in recruiting and retaining staff I know the HSE has put a lot of work into that but for the people who are there day in day out this is wearing them down completely people cannot continue like that forever and we're very concerned about how it's going to impact on the health services into the future but in this very immediate sense we need the HSE international level to come out and do something urgent to result What can be done Neil that might work say for instance locally here in Forslige or another kind of university hospitals what could the HSE do that might alleviate things in the immediate Well I think if we look at I mean we were calling our members were calling for assistance months ago I mean we were having discussions around the Twin Domex that was coming of flow and COVID this was predicted months in advance and the HSE seemed to do nothing for the acute hospitals nothing that's going to impact now and what we're hearing from the HSE nationally is they're telling people just not to attend hospital if you can avoid it the people who are attending hospital are sick the people who are going in through those doors genuinely need care management and staff are looking for efficiencies everywhere but it cannot be just up to them to try and stick to the problem Can I just catch on with the national level to say what they're planning I want to go back on two things you just mentioned there because it's very important and I mentioned this on the program yesterday I don't understand how it seems okay or acceptable and Stephen Donnelly is going in to his cabinet colleagues and I wonder would any of them pull him up on this today to sort of have a meeting with the HSE and come out and sort of go you know what it's going to get worse before it gets better as if there was no warning of this you quite rightly pointed out this was all warned this was we were told this was going to happen and you know I don't understand how it is acceptable in this day and age because to use that old analogy let's pretend this were a private company heads would be rolling left right and centre someone is severely severely dropping the ball here Neil in terms of preparing for what we knew was coming and there seems to be zero accountability and it's the public and your members that are either losing their lives or working in incredibly difficult situations and zero count but it doesn't seem to actually matter to the powers that be no one is held to account no and what matters to our members at the moment and to the patients coming through the doors is that something urgent is done so whatever mistakes have been made the HSE now step up to resolve it and come out with something fairly urgent and drastic because this is something that isn't going to resolve in the immediate sense we don't know when this is going to resolve a lot of people don't feel that we've even hit the peak yet so something urgent has to happen here the staff on the ground must be supported management must be supported absolutely horrendous conditions the patients are expected to deal with need to be resolved and we have this situation where we have this situation where the HSE the health service executive are asking the public not to go to hospitals and we have now doc and GPs saying you know go to your pharmacist first or you know I mean that is a broken health system and again we'd represent members in the community areas and now doc in various areas right across the health services and they're all telling us that they're under resource that they're struggling to manage the levels of work that are coming in and this is resulting in delayed care for people in the public it's resulting in potential adverse outcomes for patients that's not good enough if somebody is attending for an emergency service there in an emergency department waiting for up to 10 hours to get even get in the doors from an and then once you get in the doors you don't even have staff available it is horrendous to not even have a trolley people are sitting on chairs they're not even on trolleys in a lot of circumstances this is an absolute disaster at the moment and the HSE need to do more what could be done in Thatcher Kenny over the next few days or weeks to alleviate the situation as far as you can determine the difficulty here is the failure to plan has really from what we can see it's tied the hands of local management when we've met with them they've told us they're doing everything with them their power to try and manage discharges to try and exploit discharges they're facing challenges and getting beds in the communities there's challenges everywhere we can't continue to just listen to what the problems are we need somebody at a higher level who has control of the resources to say what they're going to do to fix it that's a really important point there because everyone seems to know what the situation is but no one seems to have a plan to actually fix it and you bring it up with the health minister what we've just pumped 30 million euro into Letcher Kenny University Hospital that doesn't cut it anymore we need more than that because you have problems at the hospital you talk about people being delayed in ambulances then that delays ambulances getting to emergencies you know it's it's just a ripple effect absolutely and again it's been said a lot even on the Highland Radio here around the capacity issues in Letcher Kenny Hospital and when is that ever going to resolve is it ever going to see the beds that they do need and it's a longer term goal that's not going to fix things in the immediate sense but why are we waiting years to see it happen but right now at this moment in time the HSE had time to resolve this months ago when they were notified of the concerns and they didn't do anything so we need to see what is the plan now what are they going to do to fix it I mean there's a lot of it's a management heavy company there should be people that you can speak to that will tell you what the plan is well the difficulty is we're not hearing the answers in terms of fixing it the only piece we've seen come out into the media especially is around hospital avoidance use other services, the other services are strained also so that's not realistic and we really have to call the HSE out here yeah and I think you know I think the health minister reiterating what the HSE says there needs to be more than that you know what I mean he is effectively the top of all of this he's not having a go or a witch hunt but I just can't understand how it's acceptable that he walks out to a pack of journalists and says yeah well I was just in with the HSE and they say you know what it's going to get worse before it gets better that's not a solution, that's identifying the problem we know what the problems are you can speak to anyone in any hospital they will tell you anyone who walks through the doors anyone who's trying to use the service anyone who's turning up for work day in day out to try and protect the very vulnerable public that need assistance at the minute and the answers from the people who are at the top and we don't seem to be getting them the I&M all seem to be of the opinion that the return of mandatory mask wearing in crowded settings would it maybe slow it down a little bit as a short firewall what is the thinking behind that call well we've seen how effective masks were during the Covid pandemic when it was out of tights at the moment it's respiratory illnesses again they're causing a lot of the pressures in the hospitals mask wearing would slow the spread of the infections at the very least and try and give the hospital the chance in order to get through the patients they were attending it would help absolutely and again I know a lot of people may not want to go back to mask wearing but this is about protecting the most vulnerable in our society wearing masks could prevent that and finally I presume your members here even for the most part almost unanimously when there is criticism of the health service there's praise for the staff working in that there is an understanding amongst the public I mean the public understand it the nurses, the midwives they are of the public as well but I just don't know how long they can keep going into that kind of a working environment before they say enough is enough before they're off themselves with physical or mental health issues I mean this cannot continue or else we're going to have no one to operate the health service that we're dealing with here nurses and midwives they start out with a tremendous generosity of wanting to do good they go into the profession to help people they go in to work day and night to do good and the difficulty is they are definitely experiencing tremendous amount of stress and burnout I mean that again presented itself in terms of the physical and psychological manifestations we know that sick leave is at an all time high as well they're not immune to viruses that are coming in the door they're going to experience that as well so they're putting themselves at risk always trying to protect the public and we need to see more support for them now Thanks for all your time this morning Neil I appreciate it Take care of yourself that's Neil Donahoe industrial relations officer for the North West with the INMO Mary T. Sweeney's name to representative joins us on the program now good morning to you Mary T Good morning Greg how are you well you have been contacted by I think I've inundated with contacts from people what's this, what is the case of this person I look at it he had contacted me one of her family had gone off the road with the ice and apparently there's been a horrific number of people with ice with slips and falls but from a stranger it was out in a rural area and the good Martin came along saw the car over the hedge and went down and helped the driver get out initially the driver appeared concussed and was bleeding from the nose and ear and phoned an ambulance and the ambulance the service told him that there would be at least a four hour waiting waiting time for an ambulance to get to that area by castle fin direction and the man was horrified and made a phone through got the phone number of the family member and phoned the family to let them know this person had gone off with the ice the ice was correct for it and so he had been asked by the ambulance services to take the person to the hospital and the mother that phoned me went to the hospital and met them but the reality was chaos what they saw in the hospital just before we get to that just before we get to that I mean you know this is someone potentially could have spinal neck concussive injury the ambulance services recommended that a member of the public transport them to the hospital and they were asked what advice might have been previously totally especially with it being down in the bank and they had had a cage at the back there was a cage in the vehicle at the back and the window at the front even though there was a seatbelt on they went from back to front with the embankment so there was definitely a potential for head injury as well and they were absolutely petrified at what outcome was going to happen and this person was sitting still on the chair as whatever hour I got a phone call late last night I think it was half eleven quarter twelve they were still sitting in the chair but they were seeing even worse situations people that had been told they just had a stroke and they're sitting in a chair no beds, no facilities no privacy they heard lots of the medical conditions being discussed in front of them when they sat there this is not acceptable and no money is going to fix this until we get accountability and reform but to deal with the current crisis of the respiratory problem by opening up services like what we have well we have qualified nurses in Lifford and Shenorder and Dunlowe and Cardona open up respiratory clinics where people can get free access to the steroids that they need to treat three times a day to treat the respiratory services my own kids unfortunately I had to use an emulator here with steroids for one of mine with bronchiolitis and more neighbours used to borrow it from the hospital we need to think outside the box here Greg, we need to start opening up service availability for conditions that we know the condition, we know what they need they need either a pulmonary cord transplant they need a steroid an emulator to administer some sort of steroid to help the lungs open up the respiratory nurse clinics around those situations where we have nurses is that it's not something I've dealt with this side of health matters but is that what GPs do or can GPs not be doing that but GPs wouldn't have the time to do it Greg because if there was nurse clinics in a specialist room I only know from my own family experience my eldest boy was premmal was left with bronchiolitis but the HSE knows this, there are the experts they shouldn't need me to tell them this where's all the lateral thinkers in the HSE where's all our leaders or the brain drain of our talent that's gone out of the country we need to keep the people here we need to ask simple questions we need a respiratory infection the doctors know it but they haven't the support in the backup to open up dedicated nurses and clinics let the nurses now allow nurses to do to provide prescriptions for respiratory conditions there's no there is a huge shortage of those nurses as well which contributes to these problems and GP nurses as well I just I struggle to understand how it's acceptable that the Minister for Health again I'm not having a go at him but we are in a crisis here we have done a conversation I just don't understand that he's saying well I've been told what the problems are here they are unfortunately it's going to get worse before they get better that I would expect a plinth saying this is an emergency here these are the measures I'm introducing immediately this is what we're going to do right now the same kind of approach we all saw what happened say for instance at the start of Covid it was all hands on deck there was no money was too much, no resource was too scarce and yet this is just remind us of what he said about this this morning the modelling is difficult in terms of being accurate however what I can tell you is the HSE's view was that this is likely to get worse we are likely to see more pressure they don't believe that the flu wave has peaked and so the question is what can we do about that the healthcare professionals have said to us all over many years we need more beds and they're right so that's the Minister for Health saying we don't know what the modelling is the HSE things say things are going to get worse before they get better then he says well what's the problem and then he says well we need more beds but how does that underline or stress the crisis that the health services and at the moment people are dying I don't need a Minister to tell me what we already know should you know it the INMO could have just told us that I can get any consultant from letter Kenny that will tell us all that we need solutions, fixes we need this to be treated as the national emergency that it is this is exactly what I'm saying and it was nurses and doctors that taught me for quick condition what you want to do especially when there's children involved if they're out of hospital even for our elderly and our vulnerable so we need to think outside the box and we need to say to people like when my 26 year old was born I had a very good GP the late Dr Scali and she had arranged for me to get a nebuliser at home which was fairly unheard of in those days but that saved him going into hospital on a frequent basis and I subsequently leant it out that had children that had really bad respiratory conditions which is probably not approved but they had already got diagnosed medical conditions where they went into hospital to get the same treatment as what we kept here at home I was contacted by someone who contacted out of our doctor service and was told that we're not dealing with respiratory situations at the moment people can't get appointments for this stuff so they end up in the ED as well I know what you're saying but people can't even get some people in some areas can't get to see a GP for these type of things and what happens is but the pharmacist when they have a prescription on file should be allowed to deliver those medicines that are needed nowadays a nebuliser is only 30 pound an alde or needle for 35 years we had Tom Murray on yesterday and I can't remember exact phrase of it but because of the crisis that we're in they want the latitude to be able to give antibiotics not the ones that are written down by the doctor because they're out of stock but a similar antibiotic in their experience they know works and they can't even get the minister to invoke that protocol why would they not? all their pharmacists are now going to be automatically allowed to prescribe from now on coming forward so that's somewhere we need to move also we have prescribing nurses which is very slow and rolling out in Ireland but that's for the long term educational planning of our health service but there's loads of things that we can be doing but there's no will power or knowledge or like there's no appreciation and the management of the HSE to sort this out this is not insurmountable this is something that can be we are providing some of the best healthcare staff for the world the floor corners of the world are coming we've done a goal to Ireland to employ our healthcare trainees doctors, nurses, whatever and yet why can we not provide the best healthcare service here the problem is in the management what's happening here at the moment is the recruitment drive for other parts of the world perhaps not the NHS because they've got their own problems but for some reason we seem to copy their model a model that clearly is broken and not working and is being destroyed people think that maybe the HSE wouldn't allow their prescriptions because of the fear of being sued if something went if something went wrong the reality is this is you covered one of the greatest assets that we had was our step down beds on multiple occasions the people in the streets try to call to the HSE to keep our beds open and increase the step down beds in Lifford and in Sturroder there's no reason with these people when they take an ocean in their house to close down step down beds they are the most important for the vulnerable elderly especially who need those beds at this time especially at this time of the year I just wonder how we're going to be in a year unless someone takes this by the reins where are we going to be in a year two years, three years this situation is speaking to the rep there from the INO Neil it wasn't a very optimistic outlook and if you just indulge me for a second Mary T it's not the important thing obviously is people getting the care when they need it now but there's parents listening to this that are scared stiff that a child might become sick compromise people that are afraid that they might catch something and they're afraid and perhaps they shouldn't be because you will get treated but they're afraid that they might get so sick that they need the health service that's where we're at now people are living in fear they might need to go into the health service because of all what we're talking about here we can't ignore it but there's so much anxiety out there over this as well Mary T this is something I have had a huge issue and you know I've had this out with you on the show about the anxiety and the media and the way it's been driven as a level of anxiety for the last two years that we need to start building confidence back up on people people are genuinely many people are afraid and there should be no need for fear of course they should present in the hospital and I listened to a consultant in the Royal Victoria on the news last night and he was saying that 5% of the people presenting at ANE are genuinely considered to really need to be there they're the really sick people that need immediate care in the Royal Victoria and Belfast so if we were to presume that there's something of a similar nature here why not do what I'm trying to get done with him to set up a GP service clinic in the ANE department I'm not contradicting you but listen, at the end of the day there's a thousand people that have been deemed sick enough that they need a hospital bed and they're waiting on trolleys waiting on trolleys for days on end I understand what you're going through but you need to see an linear line in beds that don't need to be there that need to be at home

at the Highland Radio News Desk The Health Minister will update senior ministers this morning on the overcrowding issues facing Irish hospitals It comes after the Irish nurses' and advice organisation counted 931 people awaiting beds yesterday morning That's a new record There were 52 in Letterkenny and 48 in Slago A north-west total of 100 Neil Donohue is the ILO's on today's 9 till noon show that their members at LUH are distraught and burnt out This is unprecedented even from the HEC management this is completely unprecedented what they're trying to cope with at the moment Staff are attending there for very long shifts they're not getting great they're completely burnt out anyway from the onset of Covid this has been relentless for the last couple of years and it has resulted in a lot of difficulties for the HEC in recruiting and retaining staff I know the HEC have put a lot of work into that but for the people who are there day in day out this is wearing them down completely There are fewer beds in Irish hospitals now than there were in 1981 That's according to emergency medicine Dr Lisa Cunningham who says the system is currently at breaking point she says increased bed capacity is the only answer to this crisis It is definitely the worst that we've ever seen we physically have no space to see patients have less beds now than we had in 1981 In 1981 we had 16,000 acute beds in Ireland we have 11,000 acute beds now which is the same as 2002 this is Department of Health bed capacity the last one was March 21 you can look at all these, these are their own reports House prices rose by just over 9% last year in Donegal according to the latest analysis report published this morning by daft.ie the average house in Donegal is just under 197,000 euro compared to a national average of just under 310,000 this time last year the Donegal rise was 14% economist Roland Lyons is the author of the daft.ie report he says people moving out of the cities during the Covid area created a lot of demand in the regions and in particular in Conox Ulster however he says that's now eased significantly Earlier in the year prices in Munster were increasing at 14% year in year and indeed in Conox they were almost 20% both of those markets were cooled significantly and they're in line with the national average with increases over the course of the year of about 6% or 7% what that means is that those Covid increases that we saw they're over in terms of dramatic increases over the course of 6, 9, 12 months in 2021 and into 2022 All aspects of oil emergency planning could be put on a statutory footing it's part of a government plan to strengthen the state's capacity to respond to a potential oil emergency Arland currently has an adequate oil reserve and a disruption to supply is thought unlikely but the coalition is aware of the impact any disruption would have on households and businesses this move is part of the commitment to ensuring the risk is prepared for the government's approach is in keeping with that of other EU member states key measures to be introduced in the new legislation include clarity around the powers of the minister and how quickly they can

listener we never get any answers or solutions just more and more of the same old same old now it's come home to roost add into the mix we've added almost 70,000 more people into our population a call of this is Greg they won't bring back masks but you're not allowed into a health Christmas Day. There were no delays getting through a and a I know ones that had to go and there were only two or three people sitting there on Christmas Day, they say. I'm not sure what the situation is. I know I don't know now, Doc on Christmas Day, so people still were getting sick. A caller says we need to go back to wearing masks in public places to stop COVID and flu. It's basic, but it's works. Another, hi, I had a lovely walk on the beach in Rathmullen on Saturday last with family, including young grandchildren. Know what destroyed it? Dogs. Why do dog owners think that their dog should have a free run on the beach when there's so many children around? Are all dogs not meant to be kept on leads? And if so, who is meant to monitor the situation? Back to mortgages, the problem with trying to fix your tracker mortgage is if you are with Ulster Bank that's closing and have mica, no other bank would change it, I would say. That is, of course, an ever present problem. Any time we're talking about mortgages and things like that there, the situation is always in house insurance. The situation is always going to be different for those affected by defective concrete products. And that's why we've dedicated so much time over the years to highlight that issue.

All right, Paddy Rooney, the former Assistant General Manager at Nutter Kenney University Hospital joins us now. Paddy, good morning to you. Good morning, Greg, how are we? I appreciate your time as always, and thanks for accepting the invite. I mean, obviously, we've saw record figures in terms of overcrowding yesterday, the highest in 20 years, I think, since these figures have been tracked all logged. But I mean, it'd be very easy to forget for some that this is a historic problem. This is nothing new. I mean, obviously, there's a scale issue here, but these problems have been identified for a long time now. It has. I'm retired now, Greg, five years, and within that time period, I started to your Friday morning gig about the review of the events of the week. And I suppose the very clear thinking of people who are many people who are contributors to that program, and even people to your program outside of that gig have been sort of given a clear impression here that the problems within the hospital were internal and the solutions were internal. Now, I'm not trying to say that things is perfect in the hospital right across the board, but they're not. But every band three and band four hospital in the country is creaking and breaking under the pressure here. And I think it was very generous and very gracious, actually, of now, but don't know who the Irish nurses in midwifery Union rep that was on this morning and he made reference to the fact that actually hospital management needs support in this too, because this seems to be gone beyond being able to manage it and to be able to sustain it. I mean, it's okay if it happened over a couple of days, but it's gone on now over a couple of months. And I have a funny feeling this is not going to settle down anytime soon. Is it as simple as this that I mean, obviously, there is a hiring and recruitment issue. We the amount of beds we have is somewhat static. They claim they've gone up 1000 across a country where we lead perhaps at least five or 6000. That's not going to have an impact. But yet, obviously, very dramatically, our population has increased and is naturally increasing also. Are those the key factors? Do you think? Well, there are calls from a lot of quarters, particularly from the Irish Medical Organization and the Irish Hospital Consultants Association about putting in extra beds. I think Dr. Patter Gilligan, the consultant one in Bowman Hospital in Dublin, said that there's a need for 5000 beds. But additional beds alone, Greg, are going to fix this. Because remember back prior to the 2019 general election, we, you and I and others have a conversation about the famous 19 short stay beds in the hospital, as if that was going to be a panacea for something. And I said at the time that that was going to give the hospital about relief for about six months. And I don't think they even got that out of it. There has to be a lot more than that. I mean, if you remember back, Dr. Ken Mulpeter, a consultant physician, was on your program about maybe it was 11 or 12 weeks ago. And he talked, he expressed his exasperation. I think that's the right pronunciation about what the Department of Health and the HSE were doing about appointing 51 additional consultants in emergency medicine to deal with the overcrowding and the emergency department. Now he knew, I knew everybody else knows now that that there's just a complete waste of money because that's not what the problem are. There has to be a before hospital service. And there are hospitals have to be turned into a 24 seven service because they're not at the moment. Can you explain that after service? Can you explain that in terms of the hospital hospitals on a 24 hour service? Well, hospitals right across the state, they all operate in the same model. And this model of delivery of care was literally set up in the 1950s and 60s. And it hasn't really changed since then about why that I mean that from nine to five Monday to Friday, the hospital is working a solid throttle. All of the consultants are on duty on the ground. All diagnostics is opened inpatient or day case activity, endoscopy, oncology, outpatients and everything is going. But there is a dramatic shift in the tenure of delivery of service within the hospital wouldn't five o'clock comes because all the consultant cover then goes to on call. I accept the fact that some of them are in duty, but remember they can't be in all the time because these men and women have to turn up for duty at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. So the following morning. So some reason to expect them while they're on call to be in the hospital and then to work. They can't work all of the time because that would completely unsay. There's no diagnostics and then MRI shuts down, cardiac investigations shuts down, CT is only available on call basis and patients have to meet a certain criteria before a CT will be done because remember it's consultant radiologists who are going to be doing this, who are going to be on duty the following morning. We can't have it every way here. We either need the people to be working during the day and so we've all of this. We have very little professionals like medicine. And what about the weekend? The same goes for the weekend. It's downtime as well. And in terms of often the problems, there's extra problems at the start of the week. Discharging at weekends. Is that a particular problem? Well, one of the things that's getting no discussion at all, Greg, is about the number of patients that are in hospital up and down the country that don't need to be there. I think Mary T. Sweeney covered it very well before 10 o'clock on your program. I mean delayed discharges have always been a problem. I have no intel or no internal information about the number of delayed discharges in the hospital, but I was going to say about we have to have a pre-hospital, a hospital and a post-hospital service because when I was working in the hospital, we might have, there might be occasions when we had between maybe 30 and 40 patients waiting for a bed in various areas and trolleys throughout the hospital, but there might have been 30 delayed discharges. And I bet you a dollar that up and down the country is a good part of it, seven, eight or 900. And that's what that means now is that these are patients who have been medically discharged by the hospital consultants. They're not under any active treatment in the hospital anymore, but they can't go home because there is no home supports or there is no condolences or no step down or no respite or whatever. And of course, the worrying thing about all of this is that Dermot Monaghan, the CHO1, was quoted, I think, on your program and also on the Jolly Gall Daily platform at the last meeting of the Western Forum that home support services were maxed out in both the funding that they had available at the time and also the problem about getting recruiting staff to carry out this. So this is getting no coverage or no traction at all about the number of people in the hospital. But I mean, Greg, that's completely sinful to have people queued out the door. And remember, there's no elective surgery done in hospitals either, and still have maybe two wards in every hospital up and down the country, follow patients who don't need to be there. And in terms of the throughput, access to GP, access to out-of-hours GP services, I mean, we have a static or falling number of GPs. There's difficulty in accessing them, but we have an explosion in the population. We have an extra minimum of five or six thousand people. I don't know what the exact figure off the top of my head is currently. A lot of decisions are being made that are actually worsening the issue. And I'm not pulling this into whether we should pull about the drawbridge or anything. That's not my motivation here for this conversation. But we're adding to the problem, but we don't seem to be offering any solution. And then we have someone like Stephen Donnelly. Again, I'm not having a go at him. I don't know the person. His clip on the news is he's saying, yeah, we have a problem here, and we need a solution. What's that solution? More beds. But for what you're saying, it's not really more beds. It's how we get... More beds are good. Yeah. But how long before they're filled up? Yes. Like the 27 in... If you go back, yeah, if you have general pictures from about 10 or 12 weeks ago, it would be well worth playing it again because he made the point about, right, so you have all these beds and hospital consultants will fill them. Fair enough, because that's what the demand is there. But, you know, I said in your program before that patients in hospitals are up and then the country fall into three categories. There are people, there are patients that are under active treatment. That's about a third of the patients. There are a third of the patients that are waiting for something. They're waiting for diagnostics. They're waiting for an OT or physio assessment. They're waiting for, it may be an under a consultant surgeon, but they might be waiting for a medical consult. They're waiting for transport. They're waiting for something. Putting extra beds in the system is not going to do anything. All you're going to do, Greg, is just increase the weight. You've got to have additional professionals allied to medicine and diagnostic. That's a huge thing. I mean, in relation to... I said earlier on about the service this country are set up in a way to meet the needs of patients in the 1970s, not in 2023. And I'm sorry to say that primary care falls into the same boat. I know Dr. Dennis McCauley said a few days ago that GPs were burned out and under huge pressure and I'm sure he's right because he's speaking from the inside. But GPs can switch off at one o'clock and they can close down at four o'clock. And we have 85 GPs rounder about working across the spectrum in Donegal from nine to one and from two to half four. But that's probably not going to cut it anymore, Greg, because then we go down to three now dock centres with an individual doctor and a nurse or two in each of those areas. That's not going to wash anymore because the population is increasing. The proportion of the population over 65 years of age is increasing. That's the likes of me and older than me. And I'm afraid that we demand more health service than you and your age court. Dr. Professor Donald O'Shea, the consultant lead on obesity, said that it is now abnormal to come across somebody with a normal BMI overweight and obesity is associated with more morbidity. There is much more expectation out there on behalf of the general public. But the health service is like a 40 foot Arctic truck. It's not twisting around to meet the needs. Okay, so but right. So, Paddy, you've worked with the HSE in management in the hospital. So you've seen it all, you've seen the inside workings of it, right? And you say, you say, and I get it, and I don't doubt for a second that management's hands are tied to a great extent. We've got the likes of Ken Moore, Peter speaking out from within. And I think because of his seniority in his position, he's able to do that. But I have contacts from nurses and others who can't speak publicly, right? We've got the INMO screaming from the rooftops what the problems are. Yet there is no plan or no solution. And even the Health Minister's suggestion today doesn't seem really to tell the full story. So in your view, who do we call out here? Like the HSE, we just call it the HSE if it's one thing, but it's a whole myriad of people work, like what has to happen? How can we get out of this? Because this is only going, this is only going to get worse. I mean, we might get some rest bites when when flu and RSV and stuff dies down. But we've seen the hospital as busy as it's ever been in the summer during the summer, it was busy as some winters during the summer. So who needs to do what? You know, because no one's taking any responsibility here. Yet we're hearing from people like you, people who know what the problem is, is the solutions are there. Well, I've got bad news to agree with them because the if the impression has been getting that hospitals up and down the country are under a spike in pressure, which they are, because of the viral infections doing the rounds at the moment. Remember, there is a whole raft of hospital activity that's been parked here at the moment. So when and if the viral infections ever subside and go away, elective surgery is going to come back with the band. Because I suspect there's no elective surgery to be done in hospitals up and down the country. Can you give us some examples of what elective surgery is? Because I think people might think that's an ingrown toenail or something. And I don't mean that in any way facetiously. So I just want I want to emphasise when we talk about all elective surgeries have been cancelled today, that hasn't happened here. It's in Limerick, for example. What does what does that mean? And what is not happening when that when that announcement is made? Well, that that falls into the various categories of elective surgery, but up at the very top of that, since letter Kenny is licensed by the National Cancer Control Programme to do symptomatic breast surgery. God knows whether that's taking place at the moment. If there's 60 people waiting for a bed, where are they going to accommodate these people? The hospital is also licensed to do colorective surgery. That would be people with bowel cancer, but knee surgery. Then there is less heat stuff that would say, for instance, people that need hip replacements, joint replacements generally due to chronic or to their chronic pain or whatever that all is to be set aside. Then you would have people with chronic coli societies that neither gallbladder or moved and a whole range of stuff like that that goes from serious down to to non serious. But it's been put off. But remember that all of this stuff has been put into a to awaiting this queue that this is going to the never, never as well. And it can't really be to be to be set aside. It can't afford to be the side. But all of that stuff is going to come back with the vengeance, Greg, when the viral infection sets that so we have delays in treatment, having an impact on people's health. We hear warnings from from some that people are going to die as a result of this, those that are presenting to the hospital and trying to get through the hospital for treatment. It's immeasurable then the delays in diagnosis say, for example, example through through lockdowns and then knocking on to the delaying some of this very important elective surgery. This has to have an impact on an awful lot of people's outcomes. You know, and it's not to scare anyone, but we we have to face the reality if that is the reality party. Oh, but you see, Greg, there's a lot of research done on a lot of articles in medical journals, in particular, about patients that have delays in emergency department. And this research has been done in Ireland and England, and a lot of it's been done in the States and elsewhere, but particularly the British Isles of patients that have an immeasurable delay in the emergency department that it has a very negative effect on their it has a very negative effect on their health. You see, slouching care, Greg, was meant to be the solution to all of this, but it's been cannibalized and picked over and elbowed into the side roads because all of the bits that people don't like has been picked out and sort of quietly discarded them. That program now is seven years old, and I think it's three years left of delivery. And the probability is that it's going to run out of of a road and be forgotten about. I think we're 23 years now into this century. And I think we've had seven ministers of health, as my memory serves me right already. So there's no consistency there either. And I would suspect that Stephen Donnelly is waiting for the day that he'll become Minister for Education or something that he can get out of this very. You know, I just think with things like this, and it's stupid for me even to suggest it, but a cross party panel that appoints three people into position for 10 years doesn't matter. I don't care if the Sinn Féin, Phinegal, Phinephol ain't do independent doesn't matter, but a panel that it's de-politicized that they go in there over a 10 year period rotating whatever it needs to be to fix the health service because this people coming in and out is getting us nowhere is. And I don't know if it's a controversial question or not. We need reform and we need change. Are there are some people within the health service at certain grades that are resisting that change and frustrating progress? Well, you see, it's very wrong for me to get the impression that I have all the answers here because what should be done and what can be done are two different things. I mean, the NHS in Northern Ireland is a similar predicament and the NHS from Scotland down to England is probably worse. Of course there are because the health service in every country in Ireland in particular, it's full of vested interests who want to do what their own piece of do. I mean, it's in the interest of hospital consultants to have additional beds because they can get more patients in, which is right. And if they can do more, it allows them to do private practice. It's not such a huge issue in Donegal because a very high percentage of the population have medical care or whatever. But it is an issue, we'll say for instance, as you move to East in the country. There is a lot of issues as well with staff, for instance, because they like to work nine to five Monday to Friday. They don't like to work on the weekends and nights and Saturdays and Sundays and so on and so forth. Everywhere across the board in the health service, there's vested interests. It's not fair for me now just to pick out hospital consultants of the nine to five people. Everywhere you go, there's vested interests for one reason or another. I mean, look at the debate there was back in the autumn about the Stephen Donnelly's plans, which is a very good one, to set up three hubs in the country to do elective surgery only. And there was a whole bruja on your program about the fact that there was no centre in Donegal. Big deal is the answer to that. Is it not better to get your hip replacement done on time or to get your gallbladder removed or whatever you need it done? I think that was the takeaway from that. I think that was the takeaway from that conversation. If I remember it correctly, that look, if we're getting access to it, if we have to travel, we'll solve it. I mean, we've got to get away from that. We can't have a Beaumont hospital in every town in Ireland and stuff. I'm not going to work just, but I have a funny feeling, Greg, that we're not prepared to pay for what we need to do because launch care is going to cost a lot of money. And I'll just give you a small taste of that because now you're under time pressure. You had a little taste of this yourself. Stephen Donnelly, the Minister of Health, was in town here in, was at the end of November or begin in December. And you interviewed him, yes? Briefly. I was on an OB so it wasn't ideal, but yeah. Yeah. And he expressed with great aplomb about the additional 35 million that he had to let a Kenny yes to the hospital. It was never actually teased out what that money was actually going to be for. Now, I have no insight into what that money is for either, but I take it that that was 35 million over and above what the hospital had got the previous year, yes? Well, I suspect, Greg, that that money has been used to keep the hospital just standing still rather than going backwards. There's 2000 staff in the hospital and the range of salary from 30,000 up to about 200,000. And there's two elements of the national wage agreement going to be paid out this year. And that's going to take up a chunk of that. Any staff that have been appointed within the hospital within the previous eight years have got incremental credit due to them. There's going to be a cost in that. The hospital is no different than the other house or institution that has got energy bill. It's got to pay for electricity. It's got to pay for oil. You can imagine what their bill has gone. Everything from the pharmacology bill, that's the medicines, the consumer bills, surgical stores, food, blood, all of that kind of stuff. Do you know much of your 35 million is left? You take all into that and buy you a packet of cigarettes and a box of matches. But Steve, the health minister presented that to us, though, was if that was the government taking the issues of Lerner County University Hospital series and pumping 35 million into it to improve the situation. That was the impression that was given. It was. This is why we need a cross-party panel or something then. Yes, Greg, I am reading this right. If that's what the 35 million is given, what a top of the following year. And you also have to take into account because the hospital has been in surge capacity for more or less constantly. That means there are areas in surgical daycare, in medical daycare that need to be staffed out of hours at nights and weekends that demand additional staff and that demand premium pay. You take all of those things into account. How much do you think of the 35 million is left? Little is the answer. Fascinating insight as always, Paddy. That's why I invited you on. I really appreciate your time. It is actually appreciated. Thank you very much, Paddy. Take care of yourself. That's Paddy Rooney, former assistant general manager at Lerner County University Hospital. Went a bit long on that, but as I say, it pulls the curtain back a little bit and even just maybe exposing the 35 million Euro announcement by Stephen Donnelly, I think, worthwhile in doing so. I sound like I've got it in for Minister Donnelly. I don't. He's the head of the health service and the health service is in an absolute crisis and I find it frustrating that he recognizes that, but is not taking any responsibility for providing solutions. And as I say, it doesn't matter to me what party is in or no party or whatever. For me, with what people are going through, we know on this program, I know personally exactly what people are going through. I've spoken to dozens of people over the last couple of weeks about their experiences and I would like to see a health minister that would get up on the plinth on schedule. Let's have a newsflash and say there's a serious problem in this country and this is what we are going to do to fix it in the short term. But that's not going to happen, you see.

Okay, welcome back. Caller says the Minister for Health is correct. We do need more beds. A bed is basic, essential that a person should expect when they go to hospital. At least then the patients are on the ward and being monitored instead of sitting on a trolley in A&E. More beds and more people on wards will fix the problem of overcrowding in the emergency department at the moment we have the ministers and heads of department contradicting one another and at no plan. Right, okay. Children's hospitals are dealing with an astronomical number of self-harm presentations. Two leading psychiatrists have warned. We're joined on the program by one of those, Dr Mary Cannon, consultant psychiatrist and member of the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland. Dr Cannon, thank you so much for joining us this morning. It's greatly appreciated. Can you give us an extent of the problem? Because words like astronomical aren't thrown around, you know, and I think they're chosen to try and get the message across to say you need to take note of what we're saying here. So can you give us an overview of what the situation is you see in? Well, this has been going on for a number of years now, almost, you know, nearly a decade. And I think it's time we started to take notice of what's happening in terms of, you know, children's mental health and mental health crises. So basically what we've noticed from about 2006 up to 2016 there was a 500% increase, more than 500% increase in the number of children attending mental health, attending children's hospitals, emergency departments with mental health issues. And so that number is continuing to increase. And last year, 1,222 children were seen for mental health reasons in an emergency department of a children's hospital. Now, this was, you know, these emergency departments were never designed for mental health care or for mental health assessments. They're not a suitable, you know, a suitable place for young people to be talking about their private concerns. So something needs to be done, I think, in terms of providing alternative means of young people accessing mental health care in a crisis. Right. And maybe we'll come back to how we care for them. But what has led to this increase? We've never had more awareness, more conversation. Is it possible that some of it's triggering? Like, is that something that needs a completely different set of analysis here? Because as anyone listening who's a parent, you're trying to do your right thing. We're almost treating our children with kid gloves. Maybe that's the wrong thing to do. Maybe the constant exposure to the conversation about mental health in our schools is, you know, when you're, you know, as you get older and your brain's not fully formed, you're trying to work things out. Is it possible that we're inadvertently planting seeds? And I don't mean that, and I'm not meaning that in any way a motive, if you know what I mean. But we've never had more conversation and, you know, support for people who are maybe not very seriously ill. And yet the problem is getting worse. It kind of, I have had this concern myself because I've found myself having to have conversations that I don't think I would have to have if this whole conversation wasn't happening elsewhere as well. Does that make sense? I hope I'm not being clumsy or offensive or anything in that. I mean, it's definitely that's, I've heard that said before. I don't think talking about, one thing we need, talking about mental health doesn't cause mental health problems. I think we need to get that clear. And for years, you know, back in the past, we never used to talk about suicide or suicidal feelings because we thought that wouldn't, you know, spark people to do it. But we know now for sure that asking the question doesn't cause people to commit suicide. But in terms of what's causing this, there's two issues. One is that there seems to be a genuine increase in mental health problems among young people. The other thing is that young people are, and their parents are now feeling the only place they can access crisis care is in the emergency department. So that's the other issue. So, you know, the one issue is what's causing, as you say, the increase. But the other issue is how are we dealing with it? And I suppose the issue of the emergency department attendance is, and it's not just the children's hospital actually, what we're seeing is we're seeing an increase in attendees and tendencies for 16, 17, 18 year olds into the adult emergency departments too. So it's not just combined to the children's hospitals. There seems to be a lack of, I suppose that the child and adolescent mental health services are under pressure. I think we all know that they're understaffed. The staff are under an awful lot of pressure. They just can't get through their waiting lists the way that, you know, and the waiting lists are growing all the time. So in order to access care urgently, people see no other option or GPs may see no other option but to say go to the emergency department. So that needs to be looked at in terms of providing an alternative. To get back to your question about what's the reason for these increases. We don't really know yet, Greg, that's the problem and we need to do more analysis on this. I suppose what we, there seems to be a genuine increase. We did a study of transition year students in North Dublin, Cavan and Monaghan and we surveyed about 4,000 young people in schools. This was October 21, so it's very, very recent data. The children answered a large survey anonymously and we found that the rates of mental illness were much higher than we had ever seen before. So a previous survey before the pandemic back in 2018, about 5% of young people would have fulfilled criteria for mental disorder and now we're seeing rates of up to 30%. So this is huge and more so in girls than boys. So what we have to say is what's been going on over the last few years that could have caused this increase and seems to be again particularly affecting girls. We can speculate about things like substance use, which is increasing in young people and becoming more normalized and thinking about basic alcohol or cannabis use and other drugs. Or social media use is also a new phenomenon that has occurred over that period where we're seeing this large increase. Also academic stress and then of course there's the pandemic effects on top of everything else. We haven't quite been able to unpick what the effects have been on young people. There have been, through the ages, there have been huge challenges. I mean, you know, there's a generation that came through maybe when there was a cold war where they may have thought their death was imminent, you know, world wars. You know, there's been other huge events in history but has it led to sort of this level of illness, mental illness in younger people? You know what I mean? I know like our young girls being routinely bullied on TikTok to the point where thousands of them are harming themselves, are cutting themselves. You know what I mean? Like if we could dig a bit, not us in this conversation now, but us as a society, dig a bit deeper into this. I've had younger people, not my own, but others that would, that feel, they're not feeling good today, but they label it as, you know, anxiety. Or they're not doing very well. You know, they're struggling to do their homework and they're labeling it as ADHD. They're using language I was never familiar with. You know what I mean? I'm not saying that's not the case either, but there's this familiarity with all of that. And I just, then you get a group of them talking together and I wonder they're saying, well, this is what I've got. What have you got? What are you feeling? And I just would be, and it is as a parent, but not that it doesn't really apply to me as much for a wee while yet. I just want to make sure we're doing everything we can not to amplify stuff, to tool them to say, you know, this is how you can feel and this is what it can be. All the options are, it's, it's whatever you want. Do you know what I mean? Well, in order to, to help young people, they have to tell us that they need help. So we need to get young people to talk about how they're feeling. Now, I suppose the problem is when you do that, when you raise awareness and when you destigmatize condition, then you also have to have the services to deal with that when people come out, come out of the rent. And I think we just aren't prepared for this. The services weren't set up this way. We have a range of services such as jigsaw, or spun out, or the crisis text line for dealing with, but they're mainly geared for, as you say, you know, anxiety, milder depression, stress. But when you get into the more serious conditions, then you're talking about specialist care and the child and adolescent mental health teams. And that is seriously underfunded. They're not, they're really just not getting enough of the budget. Our mental health, mental health only takes 6% of the budget. In fact, this dropped during the pandemic to 5%. So it's a tiny proportion of the health budget goes to mental health. But when you think about the number of people coming to GPs with mental health conditions, when you think about the results from that survey I mentioned, we need a lot more money. In this day and age, 5% is rice reed. And WHO itself says 12% should be the minimum. You know, and we have the lowest number of psychiatric beds, the third lowest number in Europe per head of population. So we're not prepared to deal with this increase. And there's no capacity in the system. And, you know, we're losing staff. That's the other issue. And young people, as you mentioned, ending up in adult facilities. I mean, that's, that is just unacceptable also. Well, there's two ways to view that, Greg. One is that there really aren't enough adolescent inpatient beds in the country. And we've been losing them again during the pandemic because it's not possible to staff. So the young people who need care will need to be admitted somewhere. So I know, you know, the adult services get a lot of criticism, but, you know, at least they are in a place of safety at that point. So we need to increase the number of adolescents, specific units and beds as well. Yeah. And we need to stop talking, not you and I, but the power is to be people with influence. We need to stop talking about this. And, you know, we need packages announced. We need to, you know, we need to say, right, this, we're going to, and we've been speaking about physical health with the problems in the hospital. And I'm sorry. It feels very heavy for people listening. It's just an accident of, an accident of scheduling. But the talk needs to be over now. We, you know, we actually need to say, we're not only going to increase it by five to six percent, we're actually going to double it and then add half on. And we're going to match what we need to do, what the WHO suggests we should do. Yeah. And Greg, you know, that's a really good point to make. I think what happens is when people get frustrated, when parents get frustrated, they say, oh, the waiting list are too long. You know, my child's waiting six months for an appointment. But, and then the staff get blamed. The teams get blamed. And the fact that we should be looking out, parents should be joining with the mental health professionals to say, this is not acceptable. We need more funding. So talk to the politicians better. Talk to the policy makers. Don't, you know, it's the same things happening in the emergency department. The frontline staff are often getting the brunt of the anger. It shouldn't be directed to them. It should be directed to, you know, higher up too. So when politicians come around to your doorstep, this should be high on the agenda. Yeah, for sure. Because this is something that affects us all by either directly or one degree of separation, you know, be it the physical or the mental health, both issues that have dominated this hour. Thank you so much for your, yes, go ahead, doctor. No, I just say, in particularly for young people, mental health is the key issue because they're physical, they're actually they're physically healthiest time of life. So, so this is what parents, you know, when, when children are very young, they're worried about their children's physical health. But when they become teenagers or young adults, it's their mental health they worry about. We need, like, we need a dedicated Minister for Children, for example, as well. You know, that's how I think, you know, government's been exercised. Well, we need, I think we need a mental health lead, particularly youth mental health lead. And I think there is movement on that in government at the moment. So there is, I think HSE and Department of Health are aware of these issues, but it's just it's just quite slow. Yeah, all aware, you see, that's the problem. The Health Minister's aware, the HSE is aware, the people that are at the the sharp edge of this is aware, but what we actually want is people that are empowered that make decisions that change things. Yeah, we need to flood money into mental health the way they do in physical health during the pandemic. It's a very good point to finish on. Thank you so much, Doctor. Take care of yourself. Thank you. Dr. Mary Cannon, Consultant Psychiatrist and member of the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland. And again, I'm sorry if the last hour is felt incredibly heavy, it's actually maybe even longer than that because we're talking about some serious injuries, issues. And I I feel it myself. I feel it overwhelming at times all of this stuff. But it's right here and now we can't ignore it. We're just I'm trying to see if we can come up with ways to talk about this that were solution focused. And it's proactive and moving things forward. Right. Let's take a break.

We say good morning now to Donal Kavanaugh. Thanks, Greg. Good morning. The health minister meeting with other senior ministers this morning to brief them on the overcrowding crisis facing Irish hospitals. A short time ago, the I&M all published this morning's trolley watch figures that are Kenny University Hospital 46 people awaiting beds there this morning. 20 of them on trolleys in the emergency department. That's down four on yesterday. Slaggy University Hospital 65 people awaiting beds there this morning. 42 in the emergency department. That's a combined Northwest total between Slaggo and letter Kenny of 111 patients without beds this morning. The industrial relations officer with the I&M all in the Northwest told Greg this morning on today's 9 to 9 show that members at letter Kenny University Hospital are distraught and burnt out. Meanwhile, the emergency medicine doctor Lisa Conningham said today there are fewer beds in Irish hospitals now than there were in 1981. Lisa Conningham says the system is at breaking point and increased bed capacity is the only way to address the crisis. Meanwhile, a former assistant general manager at letter Kenny University Hospital has questioned how much of the extra 35 million euro announced for the hospital at the end of last year will go toward actually improving services and addressing the current crisis. Patti Rooney says Minister Donnelly didn't specify how the money would be spent. He said he believes the money would be almost entirely taken up with funding pay increases and meeting the extra costs in energy, electricity and other utilities. Other news and house prices rose by just over 9% last year in Donegal according to daft.ie. Economist Roland Lyons who wrote the report says people moving out of the cities during the Covid area created a lot of demand in the regions and in particular in Conningham Ulster. However, he says that's now eased significantly. Donegal's rise last year was still 3% above the national average. All aspects of emergency planning in oil that could be put on a statutory footing as part of a government plan to strengthen the state's capacity to respond to a potential oil emergency that issue being discussed today. And Donegal County Council is being urged to construct a pedestrian crossing at MacArthur's Road in Moncrana between the Aldi and Needle stores which are opposite each other. Councillor Jack Murray says there is no safe point for crossing the road. A lot of pedestrians use it. He says it's a safety hazard that needs to be addressed. Back with headlines again at 12 noon.

Eva Hunter, owner of Eva McGill Personal Training, is in studio with us now. Hi Eva. Hi, I agree. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. New Year, new me. Right, so if your New Year's resolution includes wanting to get healthier, decreased body fat, improved fitness and increased confidence while getting sustainable results by learning methods of how to maintain them, we've got advice for you. We do. We were hearing just earlier on, talked about the general population health and BMI was mentioned. Right, and BMI is not always necessarily directly linked to how someone might appear. No, BMI is your body mass index and it's not really always a true reflection of somebody. In basic simple terms, I sort of take that right back to the weighing scale. If somebody's exercising or training, if they're say strength training, it's not really a true reflection of your results in progress as such. Now, if you are somebody who's say excessively overweight, then BMI is for sure a factor and it's something your GP and that'll talk about. But as far as body fat loss goes and things, we really would go more leaning towards like say progress photographs and things and your clothes so that you're not stepping on the weighing scale and getting deflated if that's not the result that you're expecting to see after working really hard for three months. Yeah, so in other words, you know, how much weight you might lose might not necessarily be the true reflection of your progress. Exactly. That's fair. And we can be slave to the scales, can't we? Like we call it the sad step. I say stay off it. It's a tool surely and you can use it. And you keep putting batteries in them. But definitely for for dragging progress, I would definitely aim more towards like take your take your photographs, go with your clothes size and don't go close dress size up, aim to get a dress size down. Use it as one of your sort of like attainable achievable goals for the for the new year. And it's how you feel as well, presumably, you know, about your energy levels, how you might be sleeping. Exactly. That kind of stuff. These are the key indicators really. Because there's so much more to it. Like that's what I really stress towards in the new year is surely like weight loss, particularly around January is on on people's minds. But definitely health, I would say to aim to take better care of yourself and to get healthier. And then everything else follows it. I don't really I really don't like I don't engage with them, but I don't like programs that get people to step up on scales. It's horrendous, it's horrendous, really in this day and age. You know, I think there's there's so many different ways and methods of like, of monitoring your progress, you know, I'm feeling good. I don't think it's really responsible broadcasting. I'm not going to get you to comment on it. Because, you know, you get me in trouble. Yeah, but I don't care. But it's just I don't think it's as I say, no, I don't think it's really actually think it's irresponsible, especially with younger people watching because it's planting the seed again of, you know, your weight being determined by numbers. Which is remarkable because I tell you, well, maybe I'm hanging myself out here, but on a personal level, like I'm as heavy now on the weighing scale as it was as a full term pregnancy in my last baby. Caroline, bring the scales in. She's getting up on the scales, camera too. Just shows you how false the scale can be. Like I'm back at your same factory. Yeah, but you're still getting up on the scale. But I'm getting up. I use it as a tool. Yeah, of course. Yeah. And to prove points and, yeah, I'll catch you. And I agree with you. I've been a bit facetious, but I agree. Anytime's a good time to start, I suppose, trying to get better. When people start things in the new year, I'm not trying to put any businesses, I'm not trying to deter any businesses. But I think, you know, like, people might get the gym membership and not use it. Now, I don't think that's good for gyms, if they don't, if they get a month or three months and don't come back, you want people to sort of have a mindset that they're in there all year round. So I'm not doing a gym of disservice here. But you know, what way do we need to, what space do we need to get into our heads if we want to choose now is the time to make a difference. Even outside of the gym, say if you're somebody who's at home and you're just planning to eat that way a bit better and you want to move a bit more, I have still, everybody across the board, I would say, to set yourself realistic, attainable and then sustainable goals. Like, don't go crazy and pulling out through groups that you love, going on really strict programs for a short space of time. You might lose weight in that space of time, and then you put it on afterwards. You want, like, do a good goal from, say, from this current date. Now, a 12 week is a good aim. And that'll take you nearly through to St Patrick's again. And three weeks after that, takes you to Easter. So they're good goals to aim for. And you can get results in that period of time. Sensible results that you're not being too strict on yourself. So set your reasonable, so if you are completely inactive, maybe if you, if you're able to walk in a kilometer is a target. Walking's fantastic. And walking is a good kind of acutally exercise. Like, people nearly give it a bad rap, but not at all. Like, people forget, the hone and so much about weight loss, they forget about being healthy. Now with us, we push the health aspect first and everything else follows, follows through. Donegall is like fantastic for facilities as well, for beginners, for all, everybody who wants to begin to exercise or even right through to your athlete. But there's so many beginner programs, be it a gym, be it a leisure center, there's walking programs, there's, there's couch to 5Ks, there's so many things in the community. And I don't want to be hopping all over the place, but we will get down to some, some specifics. But you know, even an older person, say, for instance, or not even an older person necessarily, you know, even the most basic of exercise is, is important in terms of retaining balance and what have you, you know, to avoiding falls and stuff, but creative bone density, you know, there's so, so many other benefits to exercise itself. Right. Okay. I'm 55. And I need to lose a bit of weight of severe osteo arthritis. What can you recommend? Can, can't walk in too much pain? Can't walk in pain. And wonder, see the, well, that's severe. No, if you, if you can't walk, like there's pool, yeah, physically walking in the pool because the water would help the density, but also types of exercise like pilates and things are really good sort of stationary on a mat movement and flexibility. But somebody like that might probably need a bit of help too from their GP just with maybe for joint aid medications and things, you know. Yeah, you need to be planning what you can do there, I think with your GP. Yeah, that's great. Because you don't want to exacerbate anything. Yeah. Walk will be like a low intensity extra change. If you can't walk, it's quite severe. Yeah, I get you. This is also a different type of question. It's actually on, it's actually a someone on the phone. Do you have headphones there? Yeah, good stuff. Thank you very much. Sorry about this. We're normally better organised. Tanya, good morning to you. Good morning, Greg and Eva. Now your question for, your question for Eva, Tanya. Hello. Right, we've lost that line. We'll get that back maybe. We'll come back to that in a second. I have issues with putting weight on and off. I'm never able to stabilize it. And I can't keep it regular. I do try to watch what I eat and walk every day. So that's the yo-yo sort of effect, I think. And Joe, that's sort of the typical example of people sort of rework with a lot. Because we really pair things back. And sometimes, and I'm not saying this person is like that, sometimes they go really drastic for a short period of time and they can't sustain it. So it's going back to the real consistency tip that I have with people. And creating the calorie deficit that you can maintain. And calorie deficits can sound quite scary, but that's really simple. It doesn't have to be hard work. Calorie deficit, basically, is consuming less calories than what you currently are for your maintenance weight. So say if you're currently 11 stone, then you're consuming so many calories to maintain that 11 stone. So this is a kind of a general tip. And if that person wanted more depth information, they could contact us. But a real sort of general rhythm. And this will depend too on their physical activity. I think he just said he was just walking. Was he just walking? No, that person was, I don't know, they didn't say anyway. Well, say with just general physical activity, then if you take your current weight, as you said today in pounds, multiply that by 15 and then subtract 500 off that figure. That'll give you a deficit for a calorie deficit from where you're sitting today. And that's not a huge deficit, but it's enough say over your 12 weeks plus to give you sustainable results that you can maintain that you're not falling on and off the wagon, but normally it leaves me. So if you're retaining, if you're, if you're maintaining a certain level of fitness, whatever that might be, the thing that will really vary your weight will be your calorie intake. Yes. It's not hard work. You can't out train a bad diet. It's sometimes people exercise and they can end the frame of mind, you can eat what you want. But you do have to be mindful of that as well. And I find that really helps with everybody, no matter what stage they're at. Because I think you recognized that you recognized a problem for a lot of us is that you see when it starts getting into calorie counting and good foods, bad foods, good sugars, bad sugars, carbs, whether or not you should drink orange juice or whether or not you should blend or do you know what I mean? Like it starts going and for people like me who is inherently lazy, this just becomes the barrier that I need to avoid doing anything. That's it. Trying to break the habits and create and just keep it simple to avoid putting it off anything. I would cut nothing out. Just reduce. You know, keep your balanced plate. Because remember back to the thing you want to be healthy as well as eating your weight. Don't I did actually. I think it did make a difference. I've got smaller plates. Big time. I swear at the smaller plates, you know. Like it's all of a sudden it looks like oh my look at the amount of food in that plate. Yeah, that's true. It's just a little psychological thing. Yeah, it really is. Let's try Tanya again. Thank you. No, it's not. You're doing grand. It's just the phone line. I understand. Tanya, good morning to you. Hi, good morning, Greg and Ethan. Great question, Tanya. Well, over the last year I've lost 14 stone and now I have the issue of kind of loose skin and I was wondering if there's any kind of exercises I should be doing. I'm out obviously doing more now. I do a lot of walking, but I wonder if there's anything I can do to help with the skin situation. Congratulations. First of all on your weight loss. Yeah, but 14 stone in one year is a drastic, drastic, drastic weight loss. So fair play to you, but I don't want to be sort of doom and gloom on it, but there is exercise you can do to target muscle, but I am assuming that timeframe to lose such a drastic amount of weight, would you have a lot of excess skin? Well, no, it's just kind of looser than it was, you know, obviously because there was more fat around. Well, do you know what, you can target, say, for like the core exercises and things. Up in your strength training is fantastic as well. You're walking, which is great. That's a cardiovascular exercise and it'll help you burn excess calories and make you feel good and everything else. But I would focus maybe on creating more lean muscle. So we can do that. Strength training would be probably the one I would head to the most core exercise can help you tone up, but I really want to increase lean muscle to help you there. And in that case, does the lean muscle even lift the skin or does that skin, they say it hardly turns into lean muscle, obviously. No, you just kind of tighten up. Yeah. See, if you create lean muscle, that just helps you burn it. Well, yeah, right down to the tightening of the skin. I would really like to sort of meet that person. Yeah, Tanya, it's one of those because it's a huge amount of weight to loosen. As Eva says, congratulations. It sounds like you need to have a consultation and see what can be targeted there. Yeah, I get you. Yeah. Oh, that'd be a good idea. How do you feel now, Tanya? Oh, amazing. I'm a different person. Okay, that's great. Oh, I mean, you know, I'm only five foot two and I was 27 stone. So you can imagine, you know, and it's just I always used to be the clown and be laughing at myself before anyone would laugh at me. But now it's like true happiness. It's hard to explain. You did actually, Tanya. Listen, thanks so much for that. And we'll see if we can set up a chat between you and Eva. You can lose the headphones now if that's okay. Eva, so right, let's cut back to the basics then. We're gonna we're we're we're safe. For instance, you know, we are working and walking around the place and what have you but we're not doing any exercise as such, right? Maybe we're going up the stairs and you start to feel now at the top of the stairs where I've had to take a breath there. And obviously you're ruling out anything and any other any medical conditions also just about your health, maybe get a little bit older, whatever it might be. I'm not talking about myself. So what how do we begin walking? I would start with a walk if you're somebody is completely set up to hasn't moved or exercising years or start with a walk. And I wouldn't aim or anything even if it's a beginner exercise program in a gym, which there's loads of you could go that route as well. But I wouldn't aim for mindset like don't aim to do something five days a week. Like two to three is plenty to get you going you need the days after for recovery and to be fresh fresh to go again and find something you enjoy. You know, you want to begin up the top of the stairs not feeling out of breath or out of puff, you know, because all that comes back to your health as well. You know, so just to be fit and healthy, start simple and set yourself goals that you can maintain. And at this point, should we also be saying, right, well maybe now's a good time to look at the diet. And without getting at this point, we're only starting right. So we don't want to get too deep into it. What do we need to be trying to cut back on or avoid even? I would simply just cut back on the sweet traits. Don't cut anything out because it's back to that thing that is hard to maintain and keep up. I would keep a balance plate at meal times. And also do you know another good tip is to try and incorporate some protein into every meal. Now that doesn't mean that you have a steak for breakfast, but you can increase your protein through simple things like Greek yogurt, or maybe nut butters and crackers. And what does that do for us? A pair of that with exercise, that helps you create lean muscle. And lean muscle helps you burn more calories. So it really helps aid weight loss. Right, so what proteins then for the morning walk would we try and get into us? Yeah, well, I wouldn't necessarily replace your your carbohydrate breakfast with it, but you could if you were going to replace yours, say your porridge for a day with protein, you could have some things like eggs, scrambled eggs and turkey bacon, you know, it's not it's not really hard work, but it does take planning. And that's another tip I have for everybody is plan your food shop, plan your meetings, plan your exercise and for the week and take off the boxes as you go. But presumably, as an early adopter, that might seem like, oh my word, but presumably gets easier the more you do it becomes part of it's a lifestyle change, isn't it? Big lifestyle change, it really is. And, and I would start really see if you have so many goals for the year for argument's sake, don't aim to tackle them all at the one time. Take one box at a time, you know, even if it's a breakfast, just start between now and the next six weeks of having a breakfast. If you're one of your somebody that misses one, try to get it in. I don't eat breakfast. I turn a clock to you. I sometimes don't eat till two or three o'clock in the afternoon, you know, it's terrible. A family member, but I find if I have breakfast right, I start getting very hungry then about 11 o'clock. Yeah, but you should be. Okay. And then have your, bring a bowl of corn flakes on there. Donal, can you do an extra few headlines on finishing my corn flakes? But that's an excuse I'm coming up with, isn't it? But that I was, I don't want to insult you, but change your mindset. Yeah, it is. It's just I'm making excuses and have it. Yeah. And I say 21 days for a habit to become a lifestyle, just your every day. Give a time. A family member is going to the gym daily along with going for a run. I'm worried about them injuring themselves. Can you train too much really? I think it's the basic question. You can and you can't overtrain, you know, and that's a lot of training. So you'll be hoping that person then would also be up on their calories to sustain their training and keep them healthy and well, you know, you can burn out. You could get injured that that's a lot of training, you know, as well as a run, you know, it's a lot, it's a lot on the body. You could hit a wall at some point. Like it's great while things are going okay, but presumably, you know, even the athletes, professional athletes, you need your downtime recovery time. Yeah, okay. IFA dropped womb. Okay. What exercise should I avoid to stop further damage? I would avoid high impact exercises for sure. I'm assuming that person hopefully is seeing a GP or physiotherapist that can can help along with them. Is that the pelvic floor exercises and that core training? Is it that area? Yeah, it would help, but it depends what house severe that that, you know, sometimes you need more specific help. So what exercise should I avoid? Then actually, to look, sorry, I beg your pardon, I've misread that question. So high impact. Yeah, and really, sort of, again, it depends how severe the drop is, but also, you know, sometimes core exercises could actually exasperate that because you have extra pressure on your on your midsection and down that area. So yeah, I would avoid all high impact, maybe avoid some core exercise until she'd get a wee check with a physiotherapist or her GP. Okay, very good. That's the type of thing you need to do in consultant, in consultation. Yeah, that's quite, that's a quite severe condition. My stomach appears to be as hard as a rock. What exercises can I reduce due to reduce it? Now, I'm not sure if it's sort of outwardly hard as a rock or... Yeah, not sure, actually, with that plit, hired, as in bloated, I wonder, or... Could be, yeah, beer bellies can be quite hard. I don't want to insult that. No, I'm just like, you know, so they... Yeah, I wonder. Text us more information and we'll come back to it. Any tips for how to offload Christmas treats that are left over in the house? Trying to be good, but the quality street's attempting me. I would get them out, get them out of the house, one way or the other, get them out, It's only the crap ones left at the stage, anyway. You know, let's be honest. Yeah, the food banks and things like that, you know, is a good one to go west for the leftovers, you know, the treats. Is there any connection between exercise and fertility for women? Caller says, I'm trying to have a baby and my sister have told me that I shouldn't be working out as hard. Is this a myth or are there any recommended exercise I should be doing? I don't know what the connection between exercise and fertility is. I was actually going to... Before, sorry that you got to the last sentence, I was actually going to recommend that she does participate in exercise just to get her body prepared, you know. If she's going to go through fertility treatment, you want to raise her healthy as well as you can possibly. But presumably too, in terms of your cycles and being able to predict all of that as well, the health that you want. As long as she's not overtraining, you know, because again, and back to that last person you were talking about, overtraining can affect things like that as well, you know, through menstrual cycle and that. So, overtraining I wouldn't recommend, but I would recommend exercising. Are protein shakes a good way to maximise gym results? No, it depends what you're... If you're somebody who really focus on strength training, like a lot of strength training and up on your load, then protein can definitely help you recover after better. But if you're somebody who says general exercise and you don't need the protein shakes, you can get plenty of protein from your meals, you know, I wouldn't replace the meal with a protein shake if you're a general gym goer. The natural product's always going to be better, isn't it? Yeah. What can be created? Not always, well, certainly in this instance. What about clothing? How important is good clothing? You know, you're talking about walking, good shoes, you don't want to end up after two days with a clapped arch or something. Yeah, comfortable clothing's one thing, but I'm a big one for the proper training shoes. You know, I think I've talked to this with the other things before, but if you have our local sports shops and things, they do like a foot analysis. Yes, your gates and all that stuff. The gate, exactly, because you might admire my runners at my years and we'll go and get them, but they're completely the wrong structure for you. If you have, say, if you're somebody who needs a neutral support and you wear a supported trainer, then I can leave you with sore knees, sore backs. Because I wear my shirt shoes a wee bit on the inside, so I would probably need them. You probably need a bit of support. They call it over-pronates. You probably over-pronate, so you need a more structured shoe. But like that, if somebody did need the structure and they wore that trainer, then chances are they'd be left with the ailments and plenty of cushion. If you're somebody who's road walking and are running, then definitely loads of cushion. Because that is, your foot is touching the ground, but it's your ankles, your knees, your hips, your back. That's actually my tip. Right, there was another question. Why do men don't wear leggings? Why? Do they not? Do they not? Well, I've asked these foot runners that would be familiar with they would wear their leggings. Do they? Yeah, yeah, they do. I've just had that conversation recently, women wear leggings. They look so comfortable. Daily. You can throw them on and do whatever you like. And the feathers come. Yeah, I would be sort of the worst starter I think in there on training, but I suppose daily you don't see men in leggings against the way they say, no, don't know why. There can't be. You can start the trend. I don't think with my sparrow legs that would be a very good idea. Right, okay. So it's just trying to get your head in the right space, isn't it, to sort of prepare yourself, not overdo things, take off bite sizes. Speak to a professional like yourself too, I think, because someone like you can set a pathway, because it's the woods from the trees that a lot of people I think struggle from. Like, where do we start? Where do I go? But there's people like you, and the county's blessed with lots of people who are experts in this regard. That will get you a pathway. You don't necessarily have to gain, engage with it for the rest of your life, but you can get people on the right path. Yeah, to get going. Yeah. And yeah, for sure, for sure. There's so many different ways and methods. And the one tip I always say to people as well is that they just remember the seven days in a week. And as you get to Thursday and you haven't moved a muscle, then you still have your Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. You could pick it at least two things. And it could be two walks, you know. It's just, as a mindset, it's a big thing. Don't hone in on the Monday. If I don't do something on the Monday, that's it to the next Monday. You know, it's just been already. Because outside of this, and a lot of this might be how you feel and how you might appear, whatever it is, there is actually very clear guidelines on the level of activity and exercise that really, if you want to maintain your health, and it impacts all manner of things, your heart, your lungs, everything, there's a certain amount that we need to be doing really. You know, this is not an old wives' tale. We should really be doing that. Yeah. And even down to, sorry, so you mentioned earlier, just before I came on, even around mental health, like it's fantastic. I always say sometimes, if you could bottle the benefits of exercise, you'd have a miracle cure for something. Do you know a lot of people go, ah, but it's the amount of people I've spoken to that have felt so much better after it. Oh, I've yet to meet somebody who said, who did not feel better after doing a bit of exercise. Yeah, exactly. At least you can sit down and not feel guilty. Even, and that's just at the most basic level. Yeah, that's it. Now, you seem to have written five pages of stuff. Do you know what? I took my notes with me because I don't know. I was telling your Caroline before I came on, I don't know if I'm suffering from baby brain or like pre-perimenopause, but I was brain fogged. I'm not afraid of my own name this morning, but do you know what everything I have here? Is there anything else that those, the pro that you think we should just have a weak focus? No, I think, you know, I've kind of covered everything that I wanted to mention, sorry about the calorie deficit, like your, no, we've covered sort of, and maybe I'll run through them, like as a top tip, sort of, as I said, a bullet points I had for you, but the first one was sort of to be realistic and to set attainable and sustainable goals. We kind of touched on that to plan ahead. So do your shopping, plan your meetings and all that, create a calorie deficit, drink more water, we touched that. Try your progress. That's again, down to take the photos. How are you feeling your clothes? Try that shirt on that was a little bit tight seat. Does it feel a bit more comfortable? Yeah, definitely. Also a sit down shirt, not just a stand-up shirt. And I would give yourself that 12-week window for progress, pictures, safe air, I would do it at four weeks, eight weeks, and 12 weeks, and 12 weeks, you should really be seeing the change, you know, rather than getting on the weighing scale and being deflated with all that. Do three walks and then get on the scale and you put on half a pound and it could be dependent on what time of the day you want yourself that for going out loud. All right, brilliant. And Guang, two more. Don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon. Consistency, I'm always harping on a big consistency and that's near enough. And in terms, finally, if you're in terms of trends, you know, there seems to sometimes be an explosion of people exercising and getting fit. Are we maintaining that? Is there a lot of people out there still sticking to it? No, I don't know why. I think in recent years, actually, things have changed. It is a lifestyle for a lot of people. Like years ago, no, not stereotypical men or anything. Stop being so afraid to offend people. They might have met around, say, a bar and a full, no, they meet in the steam room in the leisure centres or the gym. Exactly, no, that's a really good observation. We're drinking less now. We are drinking less as a nation. There's no doubt about that. All right, Eva, listen. It's always a pleasure to have you in. Thanks very much for having me again. If people want to chat to you, they can go to Eva McGill Personal Training. Check you out on social medias. I presume you'll call me. Yeah, social medias and a full one as well. Excellent. You can give people a roadmap or what have you. Yeah, we have a few exciting things happening now for this year coming in. So, I mean, personal training, I mean, obviously it depends on people's income and I'm not saying it's very expensive or whatever, but the personal training element of it really can help people come in because you're really keeping on people's backs. Yeah, with our facilities, for example, and like others throughout the county, we have a sort of personal training element to our facility. But then we also have a generic timetable of classes we run and then specific different years things in that coming on. Great, and things are going well for you? Thank God, 2022 is shoulder to the weight, but we're looking forward to this year. No bother to you. Listen, thank you so very much, Eva. I really appreciate it. Appreciate it. That's Eva Hunter, owner of Eva McGill Personal Training and Happy New Year to you too, Eva. Take care.

Okay, First Dates Ireland returns to your screens on Thursday in RT 2 at 9.30. On the 5th, when does it return? Is it Thursday anyway? I'll let you know when it is on. There's a Donegal interest in the first episode. It is Sorsha Little from Donegal Town taking place, taking part in First Dates in RT 2 this Thursday night at 9.30. Sorsha, good morning to you. Thank you for joining us. Greg, how are you? I'm good. You're hoping you can hear me all right? I can hear you fine. I can. Camere, why did you decide to enroll in First Dates Ireland? It came up on my Facebook news feed and I kind of took a mad notion and thought, do you spill? Wouldn't that just be a better crack and a really different way to meet somebody now? You know yourself, Donegal's at a big county but a really small community so everybody knows everybody. So it was kind of a challenge just to meet somebody different. And First Dates is not unique but it's very good in matching people. So your interest is in cars and what have you and presumably they've lined you up with someone who has similar interests. So in other words, you've got something to chat about as soon as you get to sitting down. I'll not give too much away but we did, the conversation definitely did flow. It was a very nice thought. Did you feel you were on a date or on a TV show or a mixture of both? It's very subtle the way they do things. When you're actually on the date you wouldn't really notice kind of the cameras and stuff too much. Beforehand, yeah, it's very directed. You know, walk here, walk there and you might have to walk in a door a couple of times. But when you're actually on the date it is very natural and they do try to make you feel as much at ease as possible. You know, there isn't a camera sitting beside your face watching you the whole time. You know, like they're not noticeable. So you are just kind of sitting there having a conversation with somebody. Do you not be afraid of saying the wrong thing? Absolutely. Can he cut that out please? The instinct to not look at my phone was just terrible. Don't look at it, just keep it down on the table. Yeah, and I don't want to, I mean, like obviously, you know, there's a format with these shows and some people they might try and get someone to cry a little bit talking about preview. Like I never understand everyone sits down and the first thing they seem to start talking about is previous relationships. I'm not sure that's a fantastic way to start a date. Maybe that's normal. I don't know, I haven't dated in a while as such. But like, is there any structure to that or is it all very natural and what you two guys want to talk about and stuff? You're kind of, you're pre-interview, kind of the get to know me apart before your date is quite structured. And you know, you're kind of, you kind of base it off that because, you know, you'll have like mutual, mutual questions that they've asked. So they're kind of fresh in your head where they were very fresh in my head anyways. Because my process in first date was only over a span of two weeks in July. So mine was very short compared to a lot of people. I must have been the very last person to apply. Yeah. So they were very fresh in my head. So kind of, you are encouraged to stay along those questions, but they're not, you know, they don't make you. I know what you're on about, but you kind of, you're led there or known to yourself. And also another thing too, when they sit you down at the end, and I'm not going to ask whether what the answer is. In other words, if you want to see each other again. But like, surely the temptation is at the meal to say, well, what are you going to say? Like, are you going to, you know, because people go and say, yes, I'd love to see you again. And the other one goes naps not for me. I'm sorry. I presume you're told not to talk about that before, before the end of the meal. Yeah, we're just, we're just asked, just don't talk about the process of what you went through today or beforehand. And just, you know, we're like, like to chat to each other after, you know, when it's all over. Right. And what their process was like, but not, we're encouraged just to basically, as if you're really on a date, talk to somebody naturally, ask the questions you want to ask. You know, as well as maybe kind of steering a wee bit towards our interview questions. Right. Well, we're going to have to find out if love is in the air on Thursday. Did you enjoy the experience of it? Would you recommend it? I would. Like the, I felt really looked after by Artie and by their staff. Like, if you, you know, if you were thinking about maybe trying to meet somebody outside of your county, or maybe you might, you might find somebody of the same interest, you know, right beside you. You know, they, they have access to people from all over the country. So maybe, maybe it's, it can, you know, could be successful for everybody. And finally, have you got the television? Right. Well, you can't tell us that. That's why I'm trying to avoid you saying it. And finally, have you got the television book now? So something else you'd like to do? No, I'm not, not at the moment. I work full-time myself. And I do part-time modelling to you. And there's always cares to be fixed. So I'm busy myself at the moment. So I haven't, I haven't thought about anything else. But if the opportunity came, I don't think I'd say no now. Brilliant. Okay. Well, we look, can't wait to see on Thursday. It's season eight, episode one. And Sorsha Little from Donegal Town is meeting up from, with Colum. RTE tell us, by the way, this is not you, that he's a professional auto dealer from Dublin. Accelerates from a standing start with Petrohead and classic car girl Sorsha. I don't know who writes this stuff, but it's fine. Listen, we'll just watch and enjoy it. Thanks very much, Greg. All right. Best of luck. Thanks, Sorsha. Take care of yourself. All right, it's business matters next. Business matters in association with the Faculty of Business at ATU Donegal.

He's in with us now. Good morning, Kieran. Good morning, Greg. How are you getting on? The best in your show. Happy new year. Happy new year. I enjoyed your segment with Ifa there. Aye, yeah. Indeed, she's an inspirational person, whether she provides enough inspiration for me to do anything that remains to be seen. As questionable as it is. It is. No, but you know, listen, I'm going to do something. I'm going to start getting out doing a bit more. Right, you probably ran a marathon over Christmas, did you? No. Snickers, they call them Snickers now. Oh, I'm just on the mend again. All right, okay. Listen, you're too old for all this crack. Thank you. Let's start with some... You're not far ahead. I might even be ahead. Let's start with some news. Content Llama is closing. Yeah, Content Llama, the Donegal-based software company for e-commerce retailers, has decided to close after completing a review of its business. The firm had raised 2.5 million euros from investors in November 2021, but pulled a 15 million euro series B raise after the company struggled to get traction. Okay, we don't know if that's just a start-up situation or maybe an indication of what is to come. We'll have to wait and see. But it's not often we kick off with news like that. Right, prestigious awards for a Donegal Professor Curen. Yes, Professor Declan McColl, originally from Burtonport, has received three prestigious awards from the University of California. Dr McColl is a leading doctor in biomedical sciences in the US and at the end of December he was selected for two Distinguished Service Awards from his department in UCR. He was also presented with an Outstanding Research Achievement Award and the accolade presented by his colleagues recognised his work on chronic inflammatory disease. So well done to Declan. All right, there's no slowdown in the establishment of a brewery. Some exciting news this week. Yeah, a Donegal College Council has granted planning permission for a micro-brewery in Port Nabila. Plans were lodged for the development by Anna McElhaney back in March of last year and the new brewery will be located at McElhaney's garage in the Tau Land of Rockhill. That's a really distinctive building, that one. Yeah, on the left-hand side there, you're at the Port Nabila, yeah. And a total of 19 conditions, Greg, were attached to Donegal College Council's decision. Have you been to a brewery? I know you've done... No, I was at two distilleries. I was in Crawley and I was over in the Steve League. Yeah, because it's an experience, isn't it? There are visitor centres and everyone has them or what have you? Maybe it's a sort of a trend, I said, but it's going to be another visitor attraction and it's going to be another reason for people to come and visit that to the area and stay in the area. Yeah, indeed. And we'll see what comes from it. Right, OK, the Gala Ball, Chamber Gala Ball, took place recently and actually raised quite a lot of money. Yeah, 4,400 euro grade was raised for Cancer Care West at the Little Kenny Chamber of Commerce awards Gala Ball in November. The proceeds were presented to Cancer Care West recently by Little Kenny Chamber CEO Tony Forrester and Little Kenny Chamber President Christine Reynolds. So it was a good night for businesses and it's nice to see a nice amount being raised for the charity. That's why we shop local, isn't it? Yeah, very much. Because that's just a fraction of what local businesses do for the local community. Right, New State Solicitor appointed. Yeah, Little Kenny native Kieran Dillon has been appointed as Donegal's new state solicitor. Kieran succeeds Kieran Liddy, who was appointed as a district court judge at the end of 2022. Kieran Dillon is a partner in the Little Kenny legal firm in Cullin Dillon based on Little Kenny's lower main street and I wish Kieran well a very nice man. All right, car sales are up. Speaking off the record to one or two car dealerships, I think even they may be where we're somewhat surprised at the level of new car sales for January. We're booking a trend here. Yeah, as well as this will go back to last year, 2,534 new carers were registered last year in Donegal. Greg, that's an increase of 5% compared to 2021. And according to the Society of the Aerious Motor Industry, 105,253 new cars registered in Ireland in 2022. And that's a reduction of 0.3% when compared to the previous year. And while petrol and diesel car registrations struggle to reach pre-pandemic levels, electric vehicle registrations have seen exponential growth rising by 355% since 2019. Yeah, no. That's a massive figure. My anecdotal conversations are about January, which aren't reflected in these figures. For some at the very least, it's a good start to the new year. Yeah, I've talked to some myself. Supply is not a huge problem, but as well as they're looking for people to be patient in terms of waiting for the new arrivals, Greg, you know? Yeah, and people, when we talk about electric vehicles, of course, it is the all-electric, it's the electric plugins and the non-plugins as well. You add them up, they're stripping the petrols and the diesels. Another fact that was noted there when I was looking at the figures, more automatic cars now have been purchased for the first time, so something like 56 to 44. So that's the first time. I'm not sure you get stick shift electric vehicles. I think you're right. A lot of them are automatic now, yeah. Yeah. So again, there's a change there as well. Maybe as born out of the way the car is manufactured, but it's something like 54, 46 in terms of automatic. They're just taking over here and they don't trust us. Pardon? The computers are taking over. Well, that means you have to use a foot less when you're driving, Greg. I don't think a lot of people realise that in America, Teslas are fully, if you subscribe to their package, fully self-driving. Right. Fully self-driving. Like, you can input your destination in America and the Tesla car will take you there. It will drive you there. I mean, it's worth it. If anyone's interested in that stuff, check out some of the YouTube videos. This is not something of the future. This is actually happening right now and the amount of hunger for this to be rolled out globally is unbelievable. But the car, quite literally, is driving itself and it's not using sensors or such. It's all done via cameras, which, you know, the future is right now. I mean, obviously, Elon Musk is. That's no surprise that we've probably got to the stage either. Well, they're fully driving. I'm not on about, like, beeping at you when you touch the white line. They're fully driving themselves. Well, watch with interest to see if that develops. I find it astonishing. I knew it was happening, but I didn't know it was happening. So I actually read up on it and watched it happening that these vehicles are, can't keep saying the same thing, but driving themselves. Right. OK. Stay with us because the new podcast is available for you right now. It's the first one on 2023. It's on our website, highlandradio.com.

Highland Radio Weather Updates with Ireland West Airport Discover Edinburgh this summer with Ryanair's three times weekly service, stunning architecture, endless winding streets and an awe inspiring castle. Ireland West Airport, don't just take off, take it easy. OK, the weather before we get into this week's podcast rather windy today with bright spells and scattered showers, some heavy maximum temperatures of 9 to 11 degrees in fresh to strong and gusty west to south west winds. Right, you guessed this week, Kieran. Yes, great, my guess. This week is Paul Kelly, a director with Irish company Hardcore Technologies, which is providing the 3D construction printing technology for a housing development in Lancashire and England. The social housing project will comprise 46 units and a community centre for homeless, army veterans and low income families. It's been backed by Akrington Council with the assistance of the homeless charity Building for Humanity. Paul graduated from the University of Dundee School of Architecture in 2004 and qualified as a Chartered Architect in 2005. Since then, he has held senior positions in a number of architectural practices, leading design teams on the delivery of numerous high-profile projects. Hardcore Technologies is made up of architects, engineers and material scientists, and the company's mission is to provide housing in a more sustainable, cost-effective and efficient mannered using 3D construction printing technology. In this clip, Paul explains the process of 3D construction printing technology. It's very simple, really. At the start, it all felt like a bit of hocus-pocus. It's very advanced technology, however. What it delivers is incredibly straightforward. It simply places concrete in a very precise and efficient manner, where it's a modern technology used to deliver a traditional methodology. If that makes sense, we build as people have been building for a very long time with double-leaf cavity construction, so it's two leaves of concrete, as opposed to a concrete block, it is mass concrete, and we fill that cavity with insulation. Well, that's interesting, and I think a lot of people might be interested in that in this county as well, because, you know, my faith in the concrete block is gone. You know, and I mean, all this is still sourced. It is a concrete product, but providing its manufacture to a high standard, which I'm sure it is over in Akrington. You know, could this be the future? Very much, Greg. It's the first of us kind in Ireland and the UK, so all eyes are going to be on this project in Akrington. It saves on time, it's saved on cost, and it takes the sustainability box very well. So it is the new way of doing things, and as Paul indicated when we talked, it's a breakaway from traditional methods, but there are huge savings to be made. So it's not shuttering, then, as such, is it? No, it's... Listen to the podcast. Well, it's like a bigger version of... A 3D printer, isn't it? So it lays it down... Yeah, it's to the inch or to the millimetre, it's precision personified. Okay, so it's not like shuttering, Paul's the concrete, take the shuttering off. It's laying it, effectively, as it goes. Yeah, and it's really worth checking out, because once you see it, you go, it's so simple, and you go, well, why was this not done before? You know, that was the question, but... The cost comparison, concrete's expensive. But I suppose, myself and as co-directors, I suppose over Covid, I'd give them time and space to sort of take a look outside the box, and I suppose the net result of this is this new developer, this new way of doing things here. And Paul's from Ladder County, so Ladder County might not see originally? Yes, yes indeed. Okay, fascinating stuff. All right, that full podcast, and there is one that's got cross-interest, I think, that full podcast is available for you right now on our website, that's highlandradio.com, or you can get it on Spotify or iTunes as well. And if people want to listen to it on the radio, as many do, Ciaran? Yeah, it goes out on air on Sunday evening, Greg, after the 6 o'clock news. And if anyone would like to get in touch with you, how do they do so? Yeah, usual email, Business Matters, at highlandradio.com. All right, Ciaran, brilliant. As always, we'll chat to you next week. Again, happy new year to you. Happy New Year, Greg, and thank you. Take care of yourself. We'll be back with more on the 9th till noon show after this break.

All right, we have some time now for some of your comments that have been coming in thick and fast throughout the course of the day. And we really do appreciate them. It's a very important part of the program, as you know. So thank you very much for that. So let's have a look at what you've been saying today. Greg, we've become a nanny state. Nobody takes responsibility anymore for their actions. Wains, having wains, have as many as you want. Somebody else will look after them. The state, no consequences for their actions anymore. Throw a house at them, throw money to them, and make more babies. I think our young people are better than that, to be honest with you. I don't really see it as you do, but that's fine. Listen, that's your opinion. I'm not saying your opinion's wrong. I'm just saying my opinion differs. Waiting since October to see my surgeon, not even an appointment yet, and I am in pain. It's going to be a long time. It's going to feel like an even longer time than the calendar would suggest it is. I feel like you have to be at rock bottom to seek help. I know I was going on a downward trend and I tried to intervene early. I went to a dropping clinic to talk to someone and ask for regular sessions afterwards. I was told to try what I was told in the session first, which was breathing and writing a positive sticky note every morning, and then to come back in a few weeks. It was so discouraging. I didn't go back. I said I was struggling with self-harm. In that situation, you could contact somebody else. Do you know what I mean? There's a number of different agencies that can help if that's how you're feeling. And certainly, if you're discouraged by one, don't let that be the end of it. I don't know what age you are or how you're feeling, but there are other organizations. Don't give up, because if you have a bad experience with that, it might feed into your mindset and it might go make you go, well, see, look, I was right. You know, stuff this. Whereas there's loads of other different organizations and people out there that would love to speak to you and give you far more support than it seems that you already got. So please don't be discouraged. Make sure you try something else as well and get back in touch with us if you need any signposting. We can try and do that as much as we can. Nurses should go on strike. Young nurses leaving Glitter County Hospital every week, going to Australia. And you know, when you hear the stories, would you blame them? We don't want them to. Hospital overstaffed, overpaid, all in the wrong areas, believes the listener there. I don't think Greg understands politics if he thinks Health Minister is going to get up on a plinth and admit failures in health. Obviously, in me calling that to happen is exposing my lack of faith in it happening. I'm not that naive. And that's why I talk of some other way of doing it because it's just nonsense. It's just, it's not naivety on my behalf. It's just that's not going to happen, right? He's just going to tell us what the problems are. The government will tell us what the problems are. The opposition will tell us what they're going to do to fix the problems if they get into power. And will we, will be anywhere else after 10 years? Will I still be sitting here having the same conversations? Hi, Greg, as the people of this country very short memories, the COVID was at this highest infection rate when masks were compulsory. Masks don't work. They're nothing to do with safety. Well, masks clearly work. You know, like, I don't want to tie it into the COVID situation. Forget COVID ever existed. But in terms of stopping the spread of infection, forget COVID. Masks clearly do, do work. Now maybe we see Facebook or YouTube videos that suggest they don't. But they, they clearly do work because they trap an awful lot of what comes out of, you know, some math. So if you don't, I don't want to talk about COVID as such in terms of the masks because it's just so, it's so toxic. But I mean, masks are generally accepted to work to stop the spread of infection. But listen again, you have your view, I have mine. I don't want to argue with you. I just disagree with you. And that's fine. I might be wrong and you could be right. I wish to agree with the caller who expressed the mistreatment of our daughter of witness first hand, the terrible treatment of a young worker here. Several attempts to address the issues, nothing was resolved. The system is very much on the side of the perpetrator and the victim continues to be victimized. It is a disgrace. Another what mental health facilities are available 24 seven for children that have attempted suicide. That's an answer. I just don't have to off the top of my head and more on those issues which I will bring to you tomorrow just after we do a run through of the newspapers. But that's where we have to leave it on the program today. My thanks to all of you who listened and watched the show. However you engage, it's very much	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzmbCAM9XJQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCu3Ri8DI1RQLdVtU12uIp1Q	The Future Is Built On InfluxDB		[ "SiliconANGLE Media Inc", "SiliconANGLE", "SiliconANGLE Inc", "theCUBE", "Wikibon", "John Furrier", "Dave Vellante" ]	2022-05-18T17:00:40	2024-02-05T08:42:25	4,050	VZKbcDIYY8k	Time series data is any data that's stamped in time in some way. That could be every second, every minute, every five minutes, every hour, every nanosecond, whatever it might be. And typically that data comes from sources in the physical world, like devices or sensors, temperature gauges, batteries, any device really, or things in the virtual world. Could be software, maybe it's software in the cloud or data in containers or microservices or virtual machines. So all of these items, whether in the physical or virtual world, they're generating a lot of time series data. Now time series data has been around for a long time and there are many examples in our everyday lives. All you got to do is punch up any stock ticker and look at its price over time in graphical form and that's a simple use case that anyone can relate to. And you can build timestamps into a traditional relational database. You just add a column to capture time. And as well, there are examples of log data being dumped into a data store that can be searched and captured and ingested and visualized. Now the problem with the latter example that I just gave you is that you got to hunt and peck and search and extract what you're looking for. And the problem with the former is that traditional general purpose databases, they're designed as sort of a Swiss army knife for any workload. And there are a lot of functions that get in the way and make them inefficient for time series analysis, especially at scale. Like when you think about IoT and edge scale where things are happening super fast, ingestion is coming from many different sources and analysis often needs to be done in real time or near real time. And that's where time series databases come in. They're purpose built and can much more efficiently support ingesting metrics at scale and then comparing data points over time. Time series databases can write and read at significantly higher speeds and deal with far more data than traditional database methods. And they're more cost effective. Instead of throwing processing power at the problem, for example, the underlying architecture and algorithms of time series databases can optimize queries and they can reclaim wasted storage space and reuse it. At scale, time series databases are simply a better fit for the job. Welcome to moving the world with Influx DB made possible by Influx Data. My name is Dave Vellante and I'll be your host today. Influx Data is the company behind Influx DB, the open source time series database. Influx DB is designed specifically to handle time series data, as I just explained. We have an exciting program for you today and we're going to showcase some really interesting use cases. First, we'll kick it off in our Palo Alto studios where my colleague, John Furrier will interview Evan Kaplan who's the CEO of Influx Data. After John and Evan set the table, John's going to sit down with Brian Gilmore. He's the director of IoT and emerging tech at Influx Data. And they're going to dig into where Influx Data is gaining traction and why adoption is occurring and why it's so robust. And they're going to have tons of examples and double click into the technology. And then we bring it back here to our East Coast studios where I get to talk to two practitioners doing amazing things in space with satellites and modern telescopes. These use cases will blow your mind. You don't want to miss it. So thanks for being here today. And with that, let's get started. Take it away, Palo Alto. Okay, today we welcome Evan Kaplan, CEO of Influx Data, the company behind Influx DB. Welcome Evan, thanks for coming on. Hey John, thanks for having me. Great segment here on the Influx DB story. What is the story? Take us through the history, why time series, what's the story? So the history, the history is actually pretty interesting. Paul Dix, my partner in this and our founder, super passionate about developers and developer experience. And he had worked on Wall Street, building a number of time series kind of platform, trading platforms for trading stocks. And from his point of view, it was always what he would call a yak shave, which means you had to do a ton of work just to start doing work, which means you had to write a bunch of extrinsic routines, you had to write a bunch of application handling on existing relational databases in order to come up with something that was optimized for a trading platform or a time series platform. And he just developed this real clear point of view, is this is not how developers should work. And so in 2013, he went through Y Combinator and he built something for, he made his first commit to open source in Influx DB at the end of 2013. And basically, from my point of view, he invented modern time series, which is you start with a purpose-built time series platform to do these kind of workloads and you get all the benefits of having something right out of the box so a developer can be totally productive right away. And how many people in the company, what's the history of his employees and stuff? Yeah, I think we're, I always forget the number, but it's something like 230 or 240 people now. I joined the company in 2016 and I love Paul's vision. And I just had a strong conviction about the relationship between time series and IoT. Because if you think about it, what sensors do is they speak time series, pressure, temperature, volume, humidity, light, they're measuring, they're instrumenting something over time. And so I thought that would be super relevant over the long term. And I've not regretted it. Oh, no. And it's interesting at that time to go back in history, you know, the role of database. It's all relational database, the one database to rule the world. And then as clouds started coming in, you're starting to see more databases, proliferate types of databases. And time series in particular is interesting because real time has become super valuable from an application standpoint. IoT, which speaks time series, means something. It's like time matters. Times, yeah. And sometimes data is not worth it after the time. Sometimes it's worth it. And then you get the data lakes. So you have this whole new evolution. Is this the momentum? What's the momentum? I guess the question is, what's the momentum behind it? You mean what's causing us to grow? Yeah, the time series. Why is time series an important momentum? What's the bottom line? Think about it. You think about it from a broad sort of frame, which is what everybody's trying to do is build increasingly intelligent systems, whether it's a self-driving car or a robotic system that does what you want to do or a self-healing software system. Everybody wants to build increasing intelligent systems. And so in order to build these increasingly intelligent systems, you have to instrument the system well. And you have to instrument it over time better and better. And so you need a tool, a fundamental tool to drive that instrumentation. And that's become clear to everybody that that instrumentation is all based on time. And so what happened, what happened, what happened? What's gonna happen? And so you get to these applications like predictive maintenance or smarter systems. And increasingly you wanna do that stuff not just intelligently, but fast in real time. So millisecond response so that when you're driving a self-driving car and the system realizes that you're about to do something, essentially you wanna be able to act in something that looks like real-time. All systems wanna do that. They wanna be more intelligent and they wanna be more real-time. And so we just happen to, we happen to show up at the right time in the evolution of a market. It's interesting, near real-time isn't good enough when you need real-time. Yeah, it's not. And it's like everybody wants, even when you don't need it, ironically, you want it. It's like having the feature for, you buy a new television, you want that one feature. Even though you're not going to use it, you decide that you're buying criteria. Real-time is a buying criteria for people. So what you're saying then is near real-time is getting closer to real-time as fast as possible. Right. Okay, so talk about the aspect of data because we're hearing a lot of conversations on theCUBE in particular around how people are implementing and actually getting better, so iterating on data. But you have to know when it happened to get, know how to fix it. So this is a big part of what we're seeing with people saying, hey, I want to make my machine learning algorithms better after the fact, I want to learn from the data. How does that, how do you see that evolving? Is that one of the use cases of sensors as people bring data in off the network, getting better with the data, knowing when it happened? Well, for sure, so for sure what you're saying is none of this is non-linear, it's all incremental. And so if you take something, just as an easy example, if you take a self-driving car, what you're doing is you're instrumenting that car to understand where it can perform in the real world in real-time. And if you do that, if you run the loop, which is I instrument it, I watch what happens, oh, that's wrong, oh, I have to correct for that, I correct for that in the software. If you do that four billion times, you get a self-driving car. But every system moves along that evolution. And so you get the dynamic of constantly instrumenting, watching the system behave and do it. And so self-driving cars, one thing, but even in the human genome, if you look at some of our customers, people doing solar arrays, people doing power walls, like all of these systems are getting smarter. Well, let's get into that. What are the top applications? What are you seeing with Influx DB, the time series? What's the sweet spot for the application use case and some customers? Give some examples. So it's pretty easy to understand on one side of the equation, and that's the physical side is. Sensors are getting cheap, obviously, we know that. And the whole physical world is getting instrumented. Your home, your car, the factory floor, your wristwatch, your healthcare, you name it, it's getting instrumented in the physical world. We're watching the physical world in real time. And so there are three or four sweet spots for us, but they're all on that side, they're all about IoT. So they're thinking about consumer IoT, projects like Google's Nest, Tato, particle sensors, even delivery engines like Wrappy, who deliver the Instacart of South America, like anywhere there's a physical location, and that's on the consumer side. And then another exciting space is the industrial side. Factories are changing dramatically over time, increasingly moving away from proprietary equipment to develop or driven systems that run operational, because what has to get smarter when you're building a factory is systems all have to get smarter. And then lastly, a lot in the renewables and sustainability. So a lot, you know, Tesla, Lucid motors, Nikola motors, you know, lots to do with electric cars, solar arrays, windmills arrays. Just anything that's going to get instrumented that where that instrumentation becomes part of what the purpose is. It's interesting the convergence of physical and digital is happening with the data. IoT you mentioned, you know, you think of IoT, look at the use cases there. It was proprietary OT systems, now becoming more IP enabled internet protocol, and now edge compute, getting smaller, faster, cheaper, AI going to the edge. Now you have all kinds of new capabilities that bring that real time and time series opportunity. Are you seeing IoT going to a new level? What was the, what's the IoT? Where's the IoT dots connecting to? Because, you know, as these two cultures merge, operations basically, industrial, factory, car, they got to get smarter. Intelligent edge is a buzzword, but I mean, it has to be more intelligent. Where's the, where's the action in all this? So the action really, really at the core, it's at the developer, right? Because you're looking at these things, it's very hard to get an off the shelf system to do the kinds of physical and software interactions. So the actions really happen at the developer. And so what you're seeing is a movement in the world that maybe you and I grew up in with IT or OT, moving increasingly that developer driven capability. And so all of these IoT systems, they're bespoke. They don't come out of the box. And so the developer, the architect, the CTO, they define, what's my business? What am I trying to do? Am I trying to sequence a human genome and figure out when these genes expressed themselves? Or am I trying to figure out when the next heart rate monitor is going to show up on my Apple Watch? What am I trying to do? What's the system I need to build? And so starting with the developers where all of the good stuff happens here, which is different than it used to be, right? Used to be you'd buy an application or a service or a SaaS thing for, but with this dynamic, with this integration of systems, it's all about bespoke. It's all about building something. So let's get to the developer real quick. Real highlight point here is the data. I mean, I could see a developer saying, okay, I need to have an application for the Edge, IoT Edge or Car. I mean, we're gonna have, I mean, Tesla got applications of the cars right there. I mean, there's the modern application life cycle now. So take us through how does this impacts the developer? Does it impact their CI CD pipeline? Is it cloud native? I mean, where does this all, where does this go to? Well, so first of all you're talking about, there was an internal journey that we had to go through as a company, which I think is fascinating for anybody who's interested. We went from primarily a monolithic software that was open source to building a cloud native platform, which means we had to move from an agile development environment to a CI CD environment. So to degree that you're moving your service, whether it's Tesla monitoring your car and updating your power walls, right? Or whether it's a solar company updating the arrays, right? To degree that that service is cloud, then increasingly we move from an agile development to a CI CD environment, which is shipping code to production every day. And so it's not just the developers, all the infrastructure to support the developers to run that service and that sort of stuff. I think that's also going to happen in a big way. When your customer base that you have known and you see evolving with Influx DB, is it that they're going to be writing more of the application or relying more on others? I mean, obviously there's open source component here. So when you bring in kind of old way, new way, old way was I got a proprietary application platform running all this IOT stuff and I got a write, here's an application that's general purpose. I have some flexibility, somewhat brittle, maybe not a lot of robustness to it, but it does its job. A good way to think about this is what? So yeah, good way to think about this is what's the role of the developer slash architect, CTO, that chain within a large enterprise or company. And so the way to think about it is I started my career in the aerospace industry. And so when you look at what Boeing does to assemble a plane they build very, very few of the parts. Instead what they do is they assemble. They buy the wings, they buy the engines, they assemble, actually they don't buy the wings. It's the one thing, they buy the material for the wings. They build the wings because there's a lot of tech in the wings and they end up being assemblers, smart assemblers of what ends up being a flying airplane which is a pretty big deal even now. And so what happens with software people is they have the ability to pull from the best of the open source world so they would pull a time series capability from us. Then they would assemble that with potentially some ETL logic from somebody else or they'd assemble it with a Kafka interface to be able to stream the data in. And so they become very good integrators and assemblers but they become masters of that bespoke application. And I think that's where it goes because you're not writing native code for everything. So they're more flexible. They have faster time to market because they're assembling. Way faster. They get to still maintain their core competency aka the wings in this case. They become increasingly not just coders but designers and developers. They become broadly builders is what we like to think of it. People who start and build stuff. By the way, this is not different than the people just up the road Google have been doing for years or the tier one Amazon building all their own. Well I think one of the things that's interesting is that this idea of a systems developing a system architecture. I mean systems have consequences when you make changes. So when you have now cloud data center on premise and edge working together, how does that work across the system? You can't have a wing that doesn't work with the other wing kind of thing. That's exactly. But that's where that Boeing or that airplane building analogy comes in. For us, we've really been thoughtful about that because IoT it's critical. So our open source edge has the same API as our cloud native stuff. It has enterprise on-prem edge. So our multiple products have the same API and they have a relationship with each other. They can talk with each other. So the builder builds it once. And so this is where when you start thinking about the components that people have to use to build these services is that you wanna make sure at least that base layer, that database layer that those components talk to each other. We'll have to ask you if I'm the customer I'll put my customer hat on. Okay, hey I'm dealing with a lot. Does that mean you have a P.O. for me? A big check, a blank check. If you can answer this question. Only if the tech. If you get the question right. I've got all this important operations stuff. I've got my factory, I've got my self-driving cars. This isn't like trivial stuff. This is my business. How should I be thinking about time series? Because now I have to make these architectural decisions as you mentioned and it's gonna impact my application development. So huge decision point for your customers. What should I care about the most? What's in it for me? Why is time series important? Yeah, that's a great question. So chances are if you've got a business that was 20 years old or 25 years old you were already thinking about time series. You probably didn't call it that. You built something on Oracle or you built something on IBM's DB2, right? And you made it work within your system, right? And so that's what you started building. So it's already out there. There are probably hundreds of millions of time series applications out there today. But as you start to think about this increasing need for real time and you start to think about increasing intelligence you think about optimizing those systems over time. I hate the word but digital transformation and you start with time series. It's a foundational base layer for any system that you're gonna build. There's no system I can think of where time series shouldn't be the foundational base layer. If you just wanna store your data and just leave it there and then maybe look it up every five years, that's fine. That's not time series. Time series is when you're building a smarter, more intelligent, more real time system. And the developers now know that. And so the more they play a role in building these systems, the more obvious it becomes. And since I have a PO for you and a big check, what's the value to me when I implement this? What's the end state? What's it look like when it's up and running? What's the value proposition for me? What's an end state? So when it's up and running, you're able to handle the queries, the writing of the data, the down sampling of the data, the transforming it in near real time. So the other dependencies that a system that gets for adjusting a solar array or trading energy off of a power wall or some sort of human genome, those systems work better. So time series is foundational. It's not like it's doing every action that's above, but it's foundational to build a really compelling intelligent system. I think that's what developers and architects are seeing now. Bottom line, final word, what's in it for the customer? What's your statement of the customer? What would you say to someone? Looking to do something in time series on edge. Yeah, so it's pretty clear to us that if you're building, if you view yourself as being in the business of building systems, that you want them to be increasingly intelligent, self-healing autonomous, you want them to operate in real time that you start from time series. But I also want to say what's in it for us, influx. What's in it for us is people are doing some amazing stuff. You know, I highlighted some of the energy stuff, some of the human genome, some of the healthcare. It's hard not to be proud or feel like, wow, somehow I've been lucky. I've arrived at the right time and the right place with the right people to be able to deliver on that. That's also exciting on our side of the equation. Yeah, it's critical infrastructure, critical operations. Yeah, yeah. Great stuff. Evan, thanks for coming on, appreciate the segment. All right, in a moment, Brian Gilmore, director of IoT and emerging technology that influx state will join me. You're watching theCUBE, leader in tech coverage. Thanks for watching.

Thank you, John, great to be here. We just spent some time with Evan going through the company and the value proposition within Influx DB. What's the momentum? Where do you see this coming from? What's the value coming out of this? Well, I think we're sort of hitting a point where the technology is like the adoption of it is becoming mainstream. We're seeing it in all sorts of organizations. Everybody from like the most well-funded sort of advanced big technology companies to the smaller academics, the startups. And the managing of that sort of data that emits from that technology is time series and us being able to give them a platform, a tool that's super easy to use, easy to start. And then of course we'll grow with them is has been key to us sort of, you know, riding along with them as they're successful. Evan was mentioning that time series has been on everyone's radar and that's in the OT business for years. Now you go back since 2013, 14, even like five years ago, that convergence of physical and digital coming together, IP enabled edge. Edge has always been kind of hyped up, but why now, why is the edge so hot right now from an adoption standpoint? Is it because it's just evolution, the tech getting better? I think it's twofold. I think that, you know, there was, I would think for some people, everybody was so focused on cloud over the last probably 10 years that they forgot about the compute that was available at the edge. And I think, you know, those, especially in the OT and on the factory floor who weren't able to take full advantage of cloud through their applications, you know, still needed to be able to leverage that compute at the edge. I think the big thing that we're seeing now, which is interesting is that there's like a hybrid nature to all of these applications where there is definitely some data that's generated on the edge. There's definitely done some data that's generated in the cloud. And it's the ability for a developer to sort of like tie those two systems together and work with that data in a very unified, uniform way. That's giving them the opportunity to build solutions that, you know, really deliver value to whatever it is they're trying to do, whether it's, you know, the outer reaches of outer space or whether it's optimizing the factory floor. Yeah, I think one of the things you also mentioned, the genome too, big data's coming to the real world. And I think IoT has been kind of like this thing for OT and some use case. But now with the cloud, all companies have an edge strategy now. So what's the secret sauce? Because now this is hot, hot product for the whole world and not just industrial, but all businesses. What's the secret sauce? Well, I mean, I think part of it is just that the technology is becoming more capable. And that's especially on the hardware side, right? I mean, like technology computers getting smaller and smaller and smaller. And we find that by supporting all the way down to the edge, even to the microcontroller layer with our, you know, our client libraries and then working hard to make our applications, especially the database, as small as possible so that it can be located as close to sort of the point of origin of that data in the edge as possible is fantastic. Now you can take that, you can run that locally, you can do your local decision making, you can use Inflex DB as sort of an input to automation control, the autonomy that people are trying to drive at the edge. But when you link it up with everything that's in the cloud, that's when you get all of the sort of cloud scale capabilities of parallelized AI and machine learning and all of that. What's interesting is the open source success has been something that we've talked about a lot and theCUBE about how people are leveraging that. You guys have users in the enterprise, users at IoT market, but you got developers now. Yeah. Kind of together, brought that up. How do you see that emerging? How do developers engage? What are some of the things you're seeing that developers are really getting into with Inflex DB? Yeah, I mean, I think there are the developers who are building companies, right? And then these are the startups and the folks that we love to work with who are building new services, new products, things like that. And especially on the consumer side of IoT, there's a lot of that, just those developers. But I think we got to pay attention to those enterprise developers as well, right? There are tons of people with the title of engineer in your regular enterprise organizations and they're there for systems integration. They're there for looking at what they would build versus what they would buy. And a lot of them come from a strong open source background and they know the communities, they know the top platforms in those spaces and they're excited to be able to adopt and use to optimize inside the business as compared to just building a brand new one. You know, it's interesting too when Evan and I were talking about open source versus closed OT systems. So how do you support the backwards compatibility of older systems while maintaining dozens of data formats out there, bunch of standards, protocols, new things are emerging, everyone wants to have a control plane, everyone wants to leverage the value of data. How do you guys keep track of it all? What do you guys support? Yeah, well, I mean, I think either through direct connection, like we have a product called Telegraph, it's unbelievable, it's open source, it's an edge agent, you can run it as close to the edges you'd like. It speaks dozens of different protocols in its own right, a couple of which, MQTT, OPCUA are very, very applicable to these IoT use cases. But then we also, because we are sort of not only open source, but open in terms of our ability to collect data, we have a lot of partners who have built really great integrations from their own middleware into InfluxDB. These are companies like Capware and Highbyte who are really experts in those downstream industrial protocols. I mean, that's a business not everybody wants to be in, it requires some very specialized, very hard work and a lot of support. And so by making those connections and building those ecosystems, we get the best of both worlds. The customers can use the platforms they need up to the point where they would be putting into our database. What's some of the customer testimonies that they share with you? Can you share some anecdotal, kind of like, well, that's the best thing I've ever used, it's really changed my business. Or this is a great tech that's helped me in these other areas. What are some of the sound bites you hear from customers when they're successful? Yeah, I mean, I think it ranges. You've got customers who are just finally being able to do the monitoring of assets, sort of at the edge in the field. We have a customer who has these tunnel boring machines that go deep into the earth to drill tunnels for cars and trains and things like that. They are just excited to be able to stick a database onto those tunnel boring machines, send them into the depths of the earth and know that when they come out, all of that telemetry at a very high frequency has been safely stored and then it can just very quickly and instantly connect up to their centralized database. Just having that visibility is brand new to them and that's super important. On the other hand, you have the customers who are way far beyond the monitoring use case where they're actually using the historical records and the time series database to, I think Evan mentioned, forecast things. For predictive maintenance, being able to pull in the telemetry from the machines but then also all of that external enrichment data, the metadata, the temperatures, the pressures, who is operating the machine, those types of things and being able to easily integrate with platforms like Jupyter Notebooks or all of those scientific computing and machine learning libraries to be able to build the models, train the models and then they can send that information back down to Influx TV to apply it and detect those anomalies which are... I think that's going to be an area, I personally think that's a hot area because I think, if you look at AI right now, it's all about training the machine learning algorithms after the fact. So time series becomes hugely important. Because now you're thinking, okay, the data matters, post-time. And then it gets updated, the new time. So it's like constant data cleansing, data iteration, data programming. We're starting to see this new use case emerge in the data field. Yeah, I mean, I think... You agree? Yeah, of course, yeah. The ability to sort of handle those pipelines of data smartly, intelligently, and then to be able to do all of the things you need to do with that data in stream before it hits your sort of central repository. And we make that really easy for customers. Like Telegraph, not only does it have sort of the inputs to connect up to all of those protocols and the ability to capture and connect up to the partner data, but also it has a whole bunch of capabilities around being able to process that data, enrich it, reformat it, route it, do whatever you need. So at that point, you're basically able to... You're playing your data in exactly the way you would want to do it. You're routing it to different destinations. And it's not something that really has been in the realm of possibility until this point. Yeah, and when Evan was on, it's great. He was a CEO, so he sees the big picture with customers. He kind of put the package together and said, hey, we got a system, we got customers. People wanted to leverage our product. What's your PEO? He's selling too, as well. So you have that whole CEO perspective, but he brought up this notion that there's multiple personas involved in kind of the inflex DB system architect. He got developers and users. Can you talk about that reality as customers start to commercialize and operationalize this from a commercial standpoint? You got a relationship to the cloud. The edge is there. The edge is getting super important, but cloud brings a lot of scale to the table. So what is the relationship to the cloud? Can you share your thoughts on edge and its relationship to the cloud? Yeah, I mean, I think edge, you know, edges, you can think of it really as like the local information, right? So it's generally like compartmentalized to a point of like, you know, a single asset or a single factory, a line, whatever. But what people do, they want to be able to make the decisions there at the edge locally, quickly minus the latency of sort of taking that large volume of data, shipping it to the cloud and doing something with it there. So we allow them to do exactly that. Then what they can do is they can actually down sample that data or they can, you know, detect like the really important metrics or the anomalies, and then they can ship that to a central database in the cloud where they can do all sorts of really interesting things with it. Like you can get that centralized view of all of your global assets. You can start to compare asset to asset. And then you can do those things like we talked about, whereas you can do predictive types of analytics or, you know, larger scale anomaly detection. So in this model, you have a lot of commercial operations, industrial equipment, the physical plant, physical business with virtual data cloud, all coming together. What's the future for Influx DB from a tech standpoint? Because you got open. Yep. There's an ecosystem there. Yep. There's customers who want operational reliability. For sure. I mean, so you got organic. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think, you know, again, we got iPhones when everybody's waiting for flying cars, right? So I don't know if we can like absolutely perfectly predict what's coming, but I think there are some givens. And I think those givens are going to be that the world is only going to become more hybrid, right? And then, you know, so we are going to have much more widely distributed, you know, situations where you have data being generated in the cloud, you have data being generated at the edge. And then there's going to be data generated sort of at all points in between, like physical locations as well as things that are very virtual. And I think, you know, we're building some technology right now that's going to allow the concept of a database to be much more fluid and flexible, sort of more aligned with what a file would be like. And so being able to move data to the compute for analysis or move the compute to the data for analysis, those are the types of solutions that we'll be bringing to the customer sort of over the next little bit. But I also think we have to start thinking about like what happens when the edge is actually off the planet, right? I mean, we've got customers, you're going to talk to two of them in the panel who are actually working with data that comes from like outside the earth, like, you know, either in low earth orbit or, you know, all the way sort of on the other side of the universe. And to be able to process data like that and to do so in a way, it's, we got to build the fundamentals for that right now on the factory floor and in the mines and in the tunnels. So that we'll be ready for that one. I think you bring up a good point there because one of the things that's common in the industry right now, people are talking about, this is kind of a new thinking is hyperscale has always been built up, full stack developers, even the old OT world, Evan was pointing out that they built everything, right? And the world's going to more assembly with core competency and IP and also property, being the core of their Apple so faster assembly and building, but also integration. You got all this new stuff happening. And that's to separate out the data complexity from the app. So space, genome, driving cars, throws off massive data. It does. So is Tesla, is the car the same as the data layer? I mean, yeah, it's certainly a point of origin. I think the thing that we want to do is we want to let the developers work on the world changing problems, the things that they're trying to solve, whether it's energy or any of the other health or other challenges that these teams are building against. And we'll worry about that time series data in the underlying data platforms so that they don't have to, right? I mean, I think you talked about it, for them just to be able to adopt the platform, quickly integrate it with their data sources and the other pieces of their applications. It's going to allow them to bring much faster time to market on these products. It's going to allow them to be more iterative. They're going to be able to do more testing and things like that. And ultimately, it'll accelerate the adoption and the creation of technology. You mentioned earlier in our talk about unification of data. How about APIs? Because developers love APIs in the cloud. Unifying APIs, how do you view that? Yeah, I mean, we are APIs. That's the product itself. Like everything, people like to think of it as sort of having this nice front end, but the front end is built on our public APIs. And it allows the developer to build all of those hooks for not only data creation, but then data processing, data analytics, and then sort of data extraction to bring it to other platforms or other applications, microservices, whatever it might be. So, I mean, it is a world of APIs right now. And we bring a very sort of useful set of them for managing the time series data these guys are all challenged with. It's interesting. You and I were talking before we came on camera about how data field is going to have this kind of SRE role that DevOps had, Site Reliability Engines, which managed a bunch of servers. There's so much data out there now. Yeah. Yeah, it's like reining data for sure. And I think that ability to, like one of the best jobs on the planet is going to be to be able to sort of be that data wrangler, to be able to understand what the data sources are, what the data formats are, how to be able to efficiently move that data from point A to point B, to process it correctly. So that the end users of that data aren't doing any of that sort of hard upfront preparation, collections or its work. That's data as code. I mean, data engineering is becoming a new discipline. It for sure. And the democratization is the benefit. Yeah. Everyone, data science get easier. I mean, data science, they want to make it easy, right? Yeah. They want to do the analysis, right? Yeah, I mean, I think it's a really good point. I think like we try to give our users as many ways as there could be possible to get data in and get data out. We sort of think about it as meeting them where they are, right? So like we have the sort of client libraries that allow them to just port to us, directly from the applications and the languages that they're writing, but then they can also pull it out. And at that point, nobody's going to know the users, the end consumers of that data, better than those people who are building those applications. And so they're building these user interfaces, which are making all of that data accessible for, their end users inside their organization. Well, Brian, great segment, great insight. Thanks for sharing all the complexities and IOT that you guys helped take away with APIs and assembly and all the system architectures that are changing. Edge is real, cloud is real. Absolutely. Mainstream enterprises and you got developer attraction too. So congratulations. Yeah, it's great. Any last word you want to share? Give a deal. No, just, I mean, please, if you're going to check out Influx TV, download it, try out the open source, contribute if you can. That's a huge thing. It's part of being the open source community. You know what, definitely just use it. I think once people use it, they try it out, they'll understand very, very quickly. Open source with developers, enterprise and Edge coming together. All together. All together, you're going to hear more about that in the next segment too. All right, thanks for coming on. Okay, when we return, Dave Vellante will lead a panel on Edge and data in Influx DB. You're watching theCUBE, the leader in high tech enterprise coverage. As a startup, we move really fast, we find that Influx DB can move as fast as us. It's just a great group, very collaborative, very interested in manufacturing, and we see a bright future in working with Influx. My name is Aaron Semly, I'm the CTO at Highlight. Highlight's one of the first companies to focus on manufacturing data and apply the concepts of data ops. Treat that as an asset to deliver the IT systems to enable applications like overall equipment effectiveness that can help the factory use better, smarter, faster. Time series data and manufacturing is really important. If you take a piece of equipment, you have a temperature pressure at the moment that you can look at to kind of see the state of what's going on. So without that context and understanding, you can't do what manufacturers ultimately want to do, which is predict the future. Influx DB represents kind of a new way to store time series data with some more advanced technology, and more importantly, more open technologies. The other thing that Influx does really well is once the data is Influx, it's very easy to get out, right? They have a modern REST API and other ways to access the data that would be much more difficult to do integrations with classic historians. iBike can serve to model data, aggregate data on the shop floor from a multitude of sources, whether that be OPC or a server's manufacturing execution systems, ERP, et cetera, and then push that seamlessly into Influx to then be able to run calculations. Manufacturing is changing this industrial 4.0. And what we're seeing is Influx being part of that equation, being used to store data off, unify namespace. We recommend Influx DB all the time to customers that are exploring a new way to share data manufacturing called unified namespace, who have open questions around, how do I share this new data that's coming through my UNS or MQTT broker? How do I store this and be able to query it over time? And we often point to Influx as a solution for that. It's a great brand, it's a great group of people, and it's a great technology. Okay, we're now going to go into the customer panel and we'd like to welcome Angelo Fausti, who's a software engineer at the Vera C Rubin Observatory and Caleb McLaughlin, who's Senior Spacecraft Operations Software Engineer at Loft Orbital. Guys, thanks for joining us. You don't want to miss, folks, this interview. Caleb, let's start with you. You work for an extremely cool company. You're launching satellites into space. I mean, of course, doing that is highly complex and not a cheap endeavor. Tell us about Loft Orbital and what you guys do to attack that problem. Yeah, absolutely. And thanks for having me here, by the way. So Loft Orbital is a company that's a series B startup now who, and our mission basically, is to provide rapid access to space for all kinds of customers. Historically, if you want to fly something in space, do something in space, it's extremely expensive. You need to book a launch, build a bus, hire a team to operate it, have big software teams, and then eventually worry about a bunch, like just a lot of very specialized engineering. And what we're trying to do is change that from a super specialized problem that has an extremely high barrier of access to a infrastructure problem. So that it's almost as simple as deploying a VM in AWS or GCP is getting your programs, your mission deployed on orbit with access to different sensors, cameras, radios, stuff like that. So that's kind of our mission. And just to give a really brief example of the kind of customer that we can serve, there's a really cool company called Totem Labs who is working on building an IoT constellation for Internet of Things, basically being able to get telemetry from all over the world. They're the first company to demonstrate indoor IoT, which means you have this little modem inside a container that you track from anywhere in the world as it's going across the ocean. So there it's really little and they've been able to stay a small startup that's focused on their products, which is that super crazy complicated cool radio while we handle the whole space segment for them, which just before loft was really impossible. So that's our mission is providing space infrastructure as a service. We are kind of groundbreaking in this area and we're serving a huge variety of customers with all kinds of different missions and obviously generating a ton of data in space that we've got to handle. Yeah, so amazing, Caleb, what you guys do. I know you were lured to the skies very early in your career, but how did you kind of land in this business? Yeah, so I guess just a little bit about me. For some people, they don't necessarily know what they want to do like earlier in their life. For me, I was five years old and I knew I want to be in the space industry. So I started in the Air Force but have stayed in the space industry my whole career and been a part of, this is the fifth space startup that I've been a part of actually. So I've kind of started out in satellites, I did spend some time in working in the launch industry on rockets. Then now I'm here back in satellites and honestly, this is the most exciting of the different space startups that I've been a part of. Super interesting. Okay, Angelo, let's talk about the Rubin Observatory. Varicy Rubin, famous woman scientist, Galaxy Guru, you guys, the observatory, you're way up high, you're gonna get a good look at the southern sky. I know COVID slowed you guys down a bit but no doubt you continue to code away on the software. I know you're getting close, you got to be super excited. Give us the update on the observatory and your role. All right, so yeah, Rubin is a state of the art observatory that is in construction on a remote mountain in Chile. And with Rubin, we'll conduct the large survey of space and time. We are going to observe the sky with an eight meter optical telescope and take a thousand pictures every night with a 3.2 gigapixel camera. And you are going to do that for 10 years, which is the duration of the survey. Yeah, amazing project. Now you earned a doctor of philosophy, so you probably spent some time thinking about what's out there. And then you went out to earn a PhD in astronomy and astrophysics. So this is something that you've been working on for the better part of your careers Yeah, that's right, about 15 years. I studied physics in college. Then I got a PhD in astronomy and I worked for about five years in another project, the Dark Energy Survey before joining Rubin in 2015. Yeah, impressive. So it seems like both, you know, your organizations are looking at space from two different angles. One thing you guys both have in common, of course, is software and you both use InfluxDB as part of your data infrastructure. How did you discover InfluxDB, get into it? How do you use the platform? Maybe Caleb, you could start. Yeah, absolutely. So the first company that I extensively used, InfluxDB, and was a launch startup called Astra, and we were in the process of designing our, you know, our first generation rocket there and testing the engines, pumps, everything that goes into a rocket. And when I joined the company, our data story was not very mature. We were collecting a bunch of data and lab view and engineers were taking that over to MATLAB to process it. And at first there, you know, that's the way that a lot of engineers and scientists are used to working. And at first that was like, people weren't entirely sure that that needed to change. But it's something, the nice thing about InfluxDB is that, you know, it's so easy to deploy. So as our software engineering team was able to get it deployed and, you know, up and running very quickly and then quickly also backport all of the data that we collected thus far into Influx. And what was amazing to see and it's kind of the super cool moment with Influx is when we hooked that up to Grafana, Grafana is the visualization platform we use with Influx because it works really well with it. There was like this aha moment of our engineers who are used to this post-process kind of method for dealing with their data where they could just almost instantly easily discover data that they hadn't been able to see before and take the manual processes that they would run after a test and just throw those all in Influx and have live data as tests were coming. And, you know, I saw them implementing like crazy rocket equation type stuff in Influx and it just was totally game changing for how we tested. So, Angelo, I was explaining in my open that, you know, you could add a column in a traditional RDBMS and do time series but with the volume of data that you're talking about and the example that Caleb just gave, you have to have a purpose built time series database. Where did you first learn about Influx DB? Yeah, correct. So I work with the data management team and my first project was the record metrics that measure the performance of our software, the software that we used to process the data. So I started implementing that in a relational database but then I realized that in fact, I was dealing with time series data and I should really use a solution built for that. And then I started looking at time series databases and I found Influx DB. That was back in 2018. The another use for Influx DB that I'm also interested is the visits database. If you think about the observations, we are moving the telescope all the time in pointing to specific directions in the sky and taking pictures every 30 seconds. So that itself is a time series. In every point in that time series, we call that a visit. So we want to record the metadata about those visits in Influx DB. That time series is going to be 10 years long with about 1,000 points every night. It's actually not too much data compared to other problems. It's really just a different time scale. The telescope at the Rubin Observatory is pun intended, I guess, the star of the show. And I believe, I read that it's going to be the first of the next gen telescopes to come online. It's got this massive field of view, like three orders of magnitude times the Hubble's widest camera view, which is amazing. That's like 40 moons in an image, amazingly fast as well. What else can you tell us about the telescope? This telescope, it has to move really fast. And it also has to carry the primary mirror, which is an eight meter piece of glass. It's very heavy. And it has to carry a camera, which has about the size of a small car. And this whole structure weighs about 300 tons. For that to work, the telescope needs to be very compact and stiff. And one thing that's amazing about its design is that the telescope, this 300 ton structure, it sits on a tiny film of oil, which has the diameter of human hair. And that makes an almost zero friction interface. In fact, a few people can move this enormous structure with only their hands. As you said, another aspect that makes this telescope unique is the optical design. It's a wide field telescope. So each image has in diameter the size of about seven full moons. And with that, we can map the entire sky in only three days. And of course, during operations, everything is controlled by software and it's automatic. There's a very complex piece of software called the scheduler, which is responsible for moving the telescope and the camera, which is recording 15 terabytes of data every night. And Angel, all this data lands in InfluxDB, correct? And what are you doing with all that data? Yeah, actually not. So we're using InfluxDB to record engineering data and metadata about the observations, like telemetry events and the commands from the telescope. That's a much smaller data set compared to the images, but it is still challenging because you have some high frequency data that the system needs to keep up. And we need to store this data and have it around for the lifetime of the project. Got it. Thank you. Okay, Caleb, let's bring you back in. Tell us more about if you got these dishwasher-sized satellites you're kind of using a multi-tenant model. I think it's genius, but tell us about the satellites themselves. Yeah, absolutely. So we have in space some satellites already that as you said are dishwasher mini fridge kind of size. And we're working on a bunch more that are a variety of sizes from shoebox to I guess a few times larger than what we have today. And it is, we do shoot to have effectively something like a multi-tenant model where we will buy a bus off the shelf. The bus is what you can kind of think of as the core piece of the satellite, almost like a motherboard or something where it's providing the power. It has the solar panels. It has some radios attached to it. It handles the attitude control, basically steers the spacecraft in orbit. And then we build also in-house what we call our payload hub, which has all any customer payloads attached and our own kind of edge processing sort of capabilities built into it. And so we integrate that, we launch it. And those things, because they're in low earth orbit, they're orbiting the earth every 90 minutes. That's seven kilometers per second, which is several times faster than a speeding bullet. So we've got, we have one of the unique challenges of operating spacecraft in low earth orbit is that generally you can't talk to them all the time. So we're managing these things through very brief windows of time, where we get to talk to them through our ground sites either in Antarctica or in the North Pole region. Talk more about how you use influx DB to make sense of this data from all this tech that you're launching into space. We basically, previously, we started off when I joined the company, storing all of that as Angelo did in a regular relational database. And we found that it was so slow and the size of our data would balloon over the course of a couple of days to the point where we weren't able to even store all of the data that we were getting. So we migrated to influx DB to store our time series telemetry from the spacecraft. So that's things like power level, voltage, currents, counts, whatever metadata we need to monitor about the spacecraft, we now store that in influx DB. And that has, now we can actually easily store the entire volume of data for the mission life so far without having to worry about the size bloating to an unmanageable amount. And we can also seamlessly query large chunks of data. Like if I need to see, for example, as an operator I might wanna see how my battery state of charge is evolving over the course of the year, I can have a plot in an influx that loads that in a fraction of a second for a year's worth of data because it does intelligent, I can intelligently group the data by a sliding time interval. So it's been extremely powerful for us to access the data. And as time has gone on, we've gradually migrated more and more of our operating data into influx. You know, let's talk a little bit about, we throw this term around a lot of data driven, a lot of companies say, oh yes, we're data driven but you guys really are. I mean, you got data at the core. Caleb, what does that mean to you? Yeah, so I think the, and the clearest example of when I saw this be like totally game changing is what I mentioned before at Astro where our engineer's feedback loop went from a lot of kind of slow researching and digging into the data to like an instant instantaneous almost seeing the data, making decisions based on it immediately rather than having to wait for some processing. And that's something that I've also seen echoed in my current role, but to give another practical example, as I said, we have a huge amount of data that comes down every orbit and we need to be able to ingest all of that data almost instantaneously and provide it to the operator in near real time, you know, about a second worth of latency is all that's acceptable for us to react to see what is coming down from the spacecraft. And building that pipeline is challenging from a software engineering standpoint. Our primary language is Python, which isn't necessarily that fast. So what we've done is started, you know in the goal of being data driven is publish metrics on individual, how individual pieces of our data processing pipeline are performing into influx as well. And we do that in production as well as in dev. So we have kind of a production monitoring flow and what that has done is allow us to make intelligent decisions on our software development roadmap, where it makes the most sense for us to focus our development efforts in terms of improving our software efficiency, just because we have that visibility into where the real problems are. It's sometimes we've found ourselves before we started doing this, kind of chasing rabbits that weren't necessarily the real root cause of issues that we were seeing. But now that we're being a bit more data driven there, we are being much more effective in where we're spending our resources in our time, which is especially critical to us as we scale from supporting a couple satellites to supporting many, many satellites at once. Coach, you reduced those dead ends. Maybe Angela, you could talk about what sort of data driven means to you and your teams. I would say that having a real time visibility to the telemetry data and metrics is crucial for us. We need to make sure that the images that we collect with the telescope have good quality and that they are within the specifications to meet our science goals. And so if they are not, we want to know that as soon as possible and then start fixing problems. Caleb, what are your sort of event intervals like? So I would say that as of today on the spacecraft, the level of timing that we deal with probably tops out at about 20 Hertz, 20 measurements per second on things like our gyroscopes. But I think the core point here of the ability to have high precision data is extremely important for these kinds of scientific applications. And I'll give an example from when I worked on the rockets at Astra, there are baseline data rate that we would ingest data during a test is 500 Hertz. So 500 samples per second. And in some cases we would actually need to ingest much higher rate data, even up to like 1.5 kilohertz. So extremely, extremely high precision data there where timing really matters a lot. And I can, one of the really powerful things about inflex is the fact that it can't handle this. That's one of the reasons we chose it because there's times when we're looking at the results of a firing where you're zooming in, I talked earlier about how in my current job we often zoom out to look at a year's worth of data, you're zooming in to where your screen is preoccupied by a tiny fraction of a second. And you need to see the same thing as Angela just said, not just the actual telemetry, which is coming in at a high rate, but the events that are coming out of our controllers. So that can be something like, hey, I opened this valve at exactly this time. And that goes, we wanna have that at, micro or even nanosecond precision so that we know, okay, we saw a spike in chamber pressure at this exact moment. Was that before or after this valve opened? Those kind of, that kind of visibility is critical in these kind of scientific applications and absolutely game-changing to be able to see that in near real time and with a really easy way for engineers to be able to visualize this data themselves without having to wait for us software engineers to go build it for them. Can the scientists do self-serve or do you have to design and build all the analytics and queries for your scientists? I think that's absolutely, from my perspective, that's absolutely one of the best things about Influx and what I've seen be game-changing is that generally I'd say anyone can learn to use Influx and honestly, most of our users might not even know they're using Influx because what the interface that we expose to them is Grafana, which is a generic graphing, open-source graphing library that is very similar to Influx's own chronograph. And what it does is let it provides this almost, it's a very intuitive UI for building your queries. So you choose a measurement and it shows a dropdown of available measurements and then you choose a particular, the particular fields you wanna look at. And again, that's a dropdown. So it's really easy for our users to discover and there's kind of point and click options for doing math aggregations. You can even do like perfect kind of predictions all within Grafana, the Grafana user interface, which is really just a wrapper around the APIs and functionality that Influx provides. Putting data in the hands of those who have the context of domain experts is key. Angela, is it the same situation for you? Is it self-serve? Yeah, correct. As I mentioned before, we have the astronomers making their own dashboards because they know exactly what they need to visualize. Yeah, I mean, it's all about using the right tool for the job. I think for us, when I joined the company, we weren't using Influx DB and we were dealing with serious issues of the database growing to an incredible size extremely quickly and being unable to like even querying short periods of data was taking on the order of seconds, which is just not possible for operations. Guys, this has been really informative. It's pretty exciting to see how the edge is. Mountain tops, low earth orbits, space is the ultimate edge, isn't it? I wonder if you could answer two questions to wrap here. What comes next for you guys and is there something that you're really excited about that you're working on? Caleb, maybe you could go first and then Angela, you can bring us home. Basically, what's next for Loft Orbital is more satellites, a greater push towards infrastructure and really making, our mission is to make space simple for our customers and for everyone and we're scaling the company like crazy now, making that happen. It's extremely exciting time to be in this company and to be in this industry as a whole because there are so many interesting applications out there, so many cool ways of leveraging space that people are taking advantage of and with companies like SpaceX and the now rapidly lowering cost of launch, it's just a really exciting place to be in. We're launching more satellites, we are scaling up for some constellations and our ground system has to be improved to match. So there's a lot of improvements that we're working on to really scale up our control software to be best in class and make it capable of handling such a large workload. You guys hiring? We are absolutely hiring, so we have positions all over the company, so we need software engineers, we need people who do more aerospace specific stuff, so absolutely I'd encourage anyone to check out the Loft Orbital website if this is at all interesting. All right, Hedjula, bring us home. Yeah, so what's next for us is really getting this telescope working and collecting data and when that's happened, it's going to be just a deluge of data coming out of this camera and handling all that data is going to be really challenging. Yeah, I wanna be here for that. I'm looking forward like for next year we have like an important milestone which is our commissioning camera which is a simplified version of the full camera. It's going to be on sky and so yeah, most of the system has to be working by them. Nice. All right guys, with that we're gonna end it. Thank you so much. Really fascinating and thanks to InfluxDB for making this possible. Really groundbreaking stuff, enabling value creation at the edge in the cloud and of course beyond at the space. Really transformational work that you guys are doing so congratulations and really appreciate the broader community. I can't wait to see what comes next from this entire ecosystem.

UCGOLFTD3GSzAgsBtaJlc1lg	PHYS1303 - Lecture 9 - Newton's Laws of Motion	An historical perspective - from Galileo Galilei to Isaac Newton; inertia; frames of reference and their kinds; force as a vector; the laws of motion; some kinds of forces; the character of contact forces; final perspectives from "The Principia"	[ "Southern Methodist University", "SMU", "Physics", "Newton's Laws of Motion", "inertia", "frames of reference", "friction", "tension", "normal force", "gravity", "The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" ]	2018-02-11T04:00:39	2024-02-05T06:35:51	5,512	vz9AXnlz2g8	I'd like to begin this introduction on the lecture on Newton's Laws with a bit of a historical perspective. And I'd like to go back to the year 1638. Now 1638 was the year in which Galileo Galilei was 74 years of age. Galileo is one of the first modern scientists combining mathematical prowess with experimental rigor. He was an engineer. He was an experimental scientist. He was a theoretical scientist. He was all of these things in one. And for better or for worse, he was completely focused in his use of the scientific method to understand the world. Now he wouldn't have called it the scientific method. That's a more modern understanding of the practice of inquiry in the natural world using both prediction and the outcome of experiment to determine the reasons why things are actually happening. But nonetheless Galileo was definitely an adherent to what we think of as modern science. And it got him into a lot of trouble for a variety of very complicated reasons. He was found guilty, deeply suspected of heresy by the Inquisition in Italy. And in 1638 he was in about the fifth year of his house arrest. He would die in 1642 just a few years later, but in 1638 something incredible happened. And that was the publication of one of his most famous scientific works which we would translate roughly as Two New Sciences. So what were the two new sciences that Galileo was talking about in this volume? Well, one in our modern way of discussing these topics would be known as kinematics. So kinematics is the study of motion. We've been engaging in kinematics in this course. We've been looking at position. We've been looking at time. We've been looking at how position changes with time, velocity. We've been looking at how velocity changes with time, acceleration. We have seen objects in motion at a constant velocity and we have considered changes in the state of motion of objects, acceleration. Galileo did what for his time would have been considered extremely careful in detailed experiments to understand motion in the natural world. To understand what for instance might be the natural state of motion of an object. Do objects want to come to rest or do they want to remain in motion as if we're ascribing them some personality? Now we might consider many of those experiments kind of silly, but experiments as simple as this. Carefully timing the motion of objects rolling or sliding down an inclined plane like the one shown here, they can be used to slow the pull of gravity on an object to only sample part of the gravitational force that tends to want to pull objects like this down toward the center of the earth. And using extremely carefully designed instrumentation of his own conception and devising, he was able to make precision measurements the likes of which the world had really never seen before. And in doing so he built a body of data and brought to that data a keen mathematical mind that revealed deep insights into motion, the motion of material bodies in the universe around us. Now the other science that is embodied in two new sciences is the science of materials. Why are materials strong? Why are materials brittle? What do those things mean? Why is aluminum silvery and white? Why is wood darker and more muted, more of a matte, less shiny finish to it? These are deep questions. These are not silly questions. These are questions that actually ultimately bear on the atomic structure of matter, something that Galileo could not even with his keenly developed instrumentation have glimpsed at his time in history. It simply wasn't within his grasp to be able to glimpse the atom as we now understand it. But nonetheless this work was a triumph coming just four years before his death in our understanding of nature. Published outside of Italy to avoid the censors in Italy who otherwise would have prevented people from seeing this work. Now what's sort of fascinating about this period is that Galileo who invented much of his own instrumentation and then used it to do things nobody before him could have done, really embodied the modern scientist. When you invent something you can be the first person to use that something to do a task that nobody's ever done before and that makes discovery possible and people continue to do that today. When you invent a tool you are the first person to use the tool and that's something that for instance engineers in the audience should be keenly aware of. If you make something you own it for at least a little while and you get to make all the discoveries with it. Galileo was one of those kinds of minds. Now in the year of his death which was in January of 1642 another incredible event occurred about half a continent away in England on December 25th much later that year in 1642. A person was born who became in many ways even more famous and in many ways although he stood on the shoulders of the giants that came before him he surpassed those giants in ways that nobody could have imagined with so humble a beginning as being born. This person was Isaac Newton and it is Isaac Newton whose name is affixed to Newton's laws the really foundational laws of mechanics motion and so forth. So let's talk a little bit about Isaac Newton and what he did over the course of his life as a scientist. What is the natural state of motion for an object? If we could ascribe a personality to material objects for a second personify them the way that humans often do to things that they don't understand. What does an object really want to do? This was a question that had consumed many people who thought about the natural world. Let's take a look at a natural object like this very massive weight that I have here. I will set it on the table. If I leave it there, if I don't touch it any further it seems to me that its natural state of motion is to be at rest. What if I begin by moving this object? What if I do this experiment? Give it a gentle nudge. A moment later it comes back to rest and as it settles into that state you might be tempted to draw the following conclusion that objects want to be at rest. Now we do have a problem with that already having looked at relative motion, relativity. We have some sense already that what it means to be at rest is a bit of a subjective notion. After all this metal object is certainly at rest with respect to the table. The table is affixed to the ground and appears to be at rest with respect to that. But the ground is affixed to the earth and the earth that we live on spins. It makes one revolution about every 24 hours. And so certainly this object here much like the table and the surface of the earth is not at rest with respect to the stars which because their motions are so slight to the human eye they might appear to form some kind of fixed background, some absolute stationary frame of reference against which we could measure all motions in the cosmos. But of course we also know that the stars though distant are moving and some of those things we call stars are themselves actually made from hundreds of billions of stars or trillions of stars, their galaxies. So they have their own complicated motions as the stars inside of them move around. The whole universe is in motion. So what does it mean to be at rest? That's a difficult question. The scientists roughly of Galileo's era and before that the natural philosophers what we would now think of as perhaps physicists, they wrestled with that question. And many of them drew the conclusion nonetheless that rest is the natural state of all objects in the universe. I mean after all if I nudge this thing, again I gave it some ability to move but then it settles down and then it comes back to a state of rest again relative to the table. It was Isaac Newton that finally codified what was really going on here. Galileo had some insights. Galileo doing experiments had suggested that the natural state of motion for an object is whatever state it's in absent any external influences. So if an object is moving it will remain moving at constant velocity. If an object is at rest it will remain at rest assuming no influence comes along and moves it. Galileo didn't quite put that on firm mathematical footing. He had some notions. He wrote them down and certainly they were the foundations of thought for what came next. There was Isaac Newton working over the course of his life culminating in 1687 with the publishing of perhaps his greatest scientific work that really figured out that in a sense whether he realized it or not at the time and he certainly did because he denoted them as laws in his writing he uncovered really what are the foundational laws of motion, of mechanics, the science of matter and forces. Let's get into those laws in a bit. But I think it's interesting to note a few historical things. First of all Isaac Newton born in 1642. In 1666 is when most scholars would argue he first made public his development of the calculus. Calculus is something you've learned some of and you've been using in this course. You've learned it in other courses, other venues, you're applying it here. We've looked at calculus from a physics perspective to motivate the need for it and indeed this is what Isaac Newton essentially did as a natural philosopher as what we would now call a physicist. He recognized that there was a need to understand infinitesimal change in something and the influence of that infinitesimal change on other things. And so he developed what we now think of as differential calculus. He wasn't the only one. Gottfried Leibniz also around that same decadal period developed calculus somewhat independently of Newton. And so together Leibniz and Newton are credited with the creation of calculus as a new branch of mathematics. That was in 1666 at least when Newton published or made public his first works on the subject but it was 1687 when Newton published this work which is shortened in English translations to the Principia but in its full English translation would be the mathematical principles of natural philosophy. You can see why it's shortened to the Principia, the principles. This was a work that really brought together mathematics and experimentation culminating in the three laws of motion that we are going to look at now. This is an incredible work and what I think is particularly ironic about how incredible it is is how little of what we would think of as calculus actually appears in this book. This book is an extremely deep dive into geometry which was an extremely highly developed mathematics at the time of Newton. And you can see it on nearly every page as you look through this book. You have diagrams, angles, all kinds of associations between sides and angles and so forth. It's really quite incredible. There is of course calculus in here but not in the form that we would recognize it. So there are discussions of small variations and infinitesimal changes and things like that but really this is a tour de force of geometry and the power of what it can reveal about the natural world. But that is also what makes this a bit of an unapproachable work to a modern audience. It's a slog to work through this book although it's all in there. The foundations of mechanics as a science are all in here. They're not so accessible to a modern audience which gets geometry and calculus given on roughly equal footing and so it's very difficult to look at this when you take introductory physics and you see calculus as such an important thread. In fact many of the things that are laid out in here are ironically much easier in the calculus that Gottfried Leibniz or Isaac Newton had developed. But that's neither here nor there. It stands on its own as an incredible work of science. This really gave voice, codified mathematical voice with rigorous scientific experimentation to back it up, real data to the first laws of nature as we would now understand them, the laws of motion. They still stand today as valid laws of nature in so far as we understand their limitations. Of course we've discovered other laws since then, some far more comprehensive than the ones that Newton laid out in this book which include those laws. Nonetheless this is the foundation of mechanical engineering and in many ways because of some of the other things laid out in this book it's the foundation of other kinds of engineering like electrical engineering. Electrical engineering in part deals with the electric and magnetic forces and their influence on modern electronics, their uses, their challenges in modern electronics. How do you move charge from one place to another and thus carry information from one place to another? This is at the core of what electrical engineers are doing. Mechanical engineers, it's very obvious how they're using mechanics. I'll come back in a little bit at the end of this video to talk just as a teaser about why there are other things in this work that are foundational to other kinds of engineering and certainly all of this is foundational to physics as one of the core sciences that we as humans have developed. With this little introduction in mind, let's take a bit of a dive into each of Newton's laws. We'll begin with some foundational concepts before we move forward into the laws themselves. We'll take a look at the laws and what they say and what they imply. I'll come back at the end and talk a little bit more about the Principia and especially about the way that Isaac Newton closed out this work, not with a statement of absolute certainty about the cosmos based on everything that he had discovered, but rather with a kind of wonderment about what was still yet unknown about the cosmos and how in many ways, despite having gone so far, he failed to achieve many of the things that I think he had ultimately set out to achieve in doing this. But he commented on the implications for future work and future generations and it's those things that I'll come back to at the end as we come to this pivotal lecture in this part of your physics course on Isaac Newton's laws of motion. Let us begin to lay the foundations for a study of what will come to see our Newton's laws of motion, the foundational laws to understand motion in the natural world. The key ideas that we're going to explore in this section of the course are the following. We're going to come to understand that it is forces that are the cause of changes in states of motion and by a state of motion I mean the velocity of an object. We will understand that force is also described as a vector of vector quantity and it obeys as a result of that all the properties of all vectors. And finally we will then dive into an exploration of Sir Isaac Newton's three laws of motion. These are the very first laws of nature that we're going to encounter in this class and everything that we have studied so far has been leading up to this moment. But to begin we need to lay down some foundational concepts that will allow us to dig a little deeper into the laws themselves as we encounter them. And the first concept we're going to look at right now is the concept of inertia. What exactly is inertia? You're going to see that it arises quite a bit in this discussion. And quite simply it is merely the tendency for objects to oppose changes in motion. This is not an unfamiliar experience for all of us. Maybe you've never actually played with a bird feather before but if you think about a very light object something that doesn't feel very heavy in your hand and a feather is a good example of that you can imagine blowing very gently on the feather. And even a light breath will cause it to move in the direction of the breath. It will catch on the wind that you generate in the air around you and it will flutter from your hand. It does not take much force, much of an impulse to move a light object like a feather or a piece of paper or something like that. But if you then compare that to your experience with something that feels far heavier in your hand than for instance a piece of paper or a bird's feather, for instance a bowling ball or a large rock, some kind of big chunk of metal or a very large piece of wood, this is something which if you were to blow on it even as hard as you could and certainly far more than you would need in order to move a feather or a piece of paper it will be very unlikely that you are able to make that same object move for the same or even much more force than was required to move the object that felt lighter in your hand. And so we can simply say that there's some property of objects, we can call it inertia, and it's a property that both the feather and the bowling ball have. The feather has very little of this property, very little inertia, while the bowling ball has very much more inertia. Again this is simply some kind of inherent resistance to changes in the state of motion. So for instance if a feather or a bowling ball begin with zero velocity and you wish to give them the same velocity, say one meter per second, it requires a lot more force to make that change in the heavy object than it does in the light. We can say that the light object is more susceptible to significant changes, even given small forces or actions that we take upon it. As we'll see, there is a law of motion in the three laws which includes a quantity that takes the place, it represents the inertia of an object. This is something that's very well represented in the laws of motion and that's why this concept is introduced right now. Now there's one more thing that we need to take a look at. Before we can embark on an appropriate discussion of forces, we have to understand that when we discuss forces and changes in the state of motion or even just states of motion themselves, we have to understand that there are two major kinds of frames of reference that we can be working in. One of these is an inertial reference frame and there's that word again, inertia, something about a tendency to be resistant to changes in state of motion. An inertial reference frame is simply a frame of reference in which there are no unaccounted for net unbalanced forces and thus no net accelerations. These are frames of reference that can be established to be either at rest or moving with a constant velocity. You're going to see a demonstration of an alternative to this in a moment once we define it. But basically if you are able to say with confidence by doing some kind of modest experiment that there don't seem to be any forces present when there shouldn't be any, then you probably have established that you're working in an inertial frame of reference. Now contrast that with non-inertial reference frames. It's a very nice categorization. These are reference frames in which there are in fact some net unbalanced forces and thus there are accelerations that occur even when you don't think that there should be any. Even when you think I should be able to move an object at a velocity and I have looked around and I don't see any obvious sources of additional force around me in this frame of reference, what does the velocity of the object do versus what do I expect? Well if this is truly an inertial reference frame the velocity of the object should remain constant. There are no forces, thus there are no changes in the state of motion. But in a non-inertial reference frame even when you think you've accounted for all forces and that they should all have canceled each other out, you may still observe that your object nonetheless experiences some kind of change in the state of motion, some kind of acceleration, and that would indicate to you that you're in a non-inertial reference frame. Again, we're going to see an example of this in a moment. It's really quite stunning. The following video is from the Physical Science Study Committee in 1960. And while it may seem a bit dated to you, it captures all of the essential ingredients we've just been talking about. This video had a particular effect on me when I first saw it in college because it really helped me to rethink my understanding of motion. Here we see the two individuals sitting at a table passing a puck on a relatively low resistant surface back and forth between each other. They don't appear to be in motion relative to anything else. Nothing in this picture seems to be moving. And so of course when they push the puck once they let go, it moves at a constant velocity between them until the other one stops it. Now what they're going to do is they're going to change the state of motion of the frame of reference. They're sitting on a cart, the cart can be moved, and the two individuals, the table, and the puck will all begin to move at a constant velocity, and they'll repeat the game of pass-back. And we see that yet again from our perspective in this frame, the puck appears to move at a constant velocity between them. We could say therefore that they must be in an inertial reference frame. Even though they're at motion, they are moving at a constant velocity, and so there appear to be no net accelerations on the puck. Once it's in free motion between the two of them, it maintains its state of motion. It maintains a constant velocity. We're going to see this experiment one more time, but viewed from a vantage point outside of the whole frame so you can see the whole thing in action. And so you can see the cart is moving, and they're passing the puck between them. Now, for this is great for relative motion because we can see that the puck appears to almost stand still from our perspective, but nonetheless, everything's moving with constant velocity once accelerations from their hands stop. Now, let's contrast that with what we're about to see. Here again, we have the table in the puck, and one of the gentlemen pushes on the puck, but instead of moving straight between them, the puck now goes in a circle. Watch. It will execute circular motion, and when something executes circular motion, there's an implied centripetal acceleration. What's going on? Nothing appears to be in motion, and yet the puck is now executing a very strange motion compared to before, whereas before it moved at a constant velocity once the hand let go of it, now it seems to move at a constant speed, but it does so in a circle. I could possibly explain this strange motion. What's going on is that these two individuals are now in a non-inertial reference frame. They're in a frame where there are, in fact, net accelerations, and we can see this from a camera mounted above them. The table on the platform is now spinning. These two individuals are spinning, and the puck is standing relatively still in space when he lets go of it, but it appears from the perspective at the table who's in the non-inertial reference frame that, in fact, the puck is executing circular motion. It's a perspective from this non-inertial reference frame that there is an acceleration and thus an implied net unbalanced force. I certainly wouldn't want to be sitting in this frame. This would be a very uncomfortable and unpleasant experience, but nonetheless it illustrates beautifully this effect of what appears to be an acceleration when you're in a frame that itself is experiencing an acceleration. The object is, in fact, moving at a constant velocity along a straight line from the perspective of someone outside of this frame, but inside of this frame it appeared to be moving in a circle, as if there was some unbalanced and tripital acceleration, something holding it in circular motion. It's really quite a stunning thing, and when you begin to understand frames of reference and what can happen to them, what kinds of motion they can execute, you can begin to see these effects in the world around you, even on Earth. For now, we're going to work with inertial reference frames, and as we'll see, defining a frame as inertial or non-inertial will be really best served by applying one of Newton's laws of motion, but this concept is introduced now ahead of that law of motion so that we might feel more comfortable with this concept once we actually encounter the laws of motion themselves. Another important concept regarding force, that is, actions that can change the state of motion, the velocity of an object is that it is a vector quantity. So I've stated that, but I haven't really demonstrated that, and it's important to demonstrate things in the world so that you can build some confidence that in fact this is a reliable observation of the natural world. So how do we describe those influences that cause the state of motion, that is the velocity of an object, to change? Well, these things we call forces. So we can name them, but how do we describe them? How do we assign a mathematical vocabulary to these things, these forces, so that we might on paper describe them, use them, and most importantly make predictions with them? After all, we are scientists and it's not enough to be able to write down a self-consistent mathematical explanation of something. You have to use it to make predictions and you have to do experiments to test those predictions to see if they are accurate or inaccurate descriptions of the natural world. I think it's useful for us to actually look at forces in action in the wild so that we can see their underlying mathematical character reveal directly to the eye. Let's do a simple experiment with a heavy brick made out of iron. I place it on the table, rest the knuckles of my right hand against it and I exert a push, a force. I'm pushing it along a horizontal axis to the right. So you can write this as a vector. What if I take the knuckles of my left hand and I now push down in the camera view? We see that the brick moves down in the same direction I'm pushing. So this can also be described as a vector in the negative Y direction for instance. I'll reset the brick and I will put the knuckles of both my right hand and my left hand on the brick and I will push in those perpendicular directions. Watch what happens. The brick moves not only in the horizontal or only in the vertical direction but in a combination of both. It's exactly like adding two vectors with components along X and Y. Now from this simple experiment we can see that a force that is directed along say one coordinate axis, one specific direction and a force in a direction perpendicular to that along another coordinate axis, they add up and they add up in exactly the way that you would expect vector quantities to add. The direction of one component and the other component together combine to define the total direction of the final resultant motion. They add up to a force in exactly the same sense that the vectors that we've been playing with in class would in fact add. Thus although this is a simple experiment and by no means a definitive way of establishing this character of forces nonetheless I think you can see that we have revealed that forces themselves much like velocity and acceleration have a vector nature and we shall henceforth describe forces in this way. Now what happens when there's more than one force? Your experience at this point with vector quantities should provide you with something resembling a kind of intuition to the answer. We can describe what we saw in the video a moment ago in that experiment with the large metal brick. In the video we saw the following situation. I first applied a force along one axis. We could call this the x axis and this is how mathematically I might describe this force. I might write down a vector f1 with the vector hat over it and I might set that equal to the strength of that force. This could hide a minus sign here. Maybe I want to put the direction in this number f with the subscript x as well but somehow I have a number describing the magnitude, possibly the sign of this force and I put here the unit vector i hat to indicate that whatever it's sign it's directed along the x axis in some way. And then I separately showed you what it would look like to apply another force in a perpendicular direction to that. We saw what happened to the brick as a result and we might describe that force with a separate symbol f subscript 2 with a vector hat over it and here again I might describe possibly including the sign of this force with a number f subscript y, f y and it's in the j hat direction. It's entirely along the y axis. Well then in the video I showed you what would happen if I pushed simultaneously with f1 vector and f2 vector and we saw that we didn't only get motion along the x axis we didn't only get motion along the y axis we got motion in both directions with different degrees simultaneously and that's exactly how vectors add you would add f1 to f2 and the resulting final vector which cannot really be any further simplified is a total vector with an x component and a y component and thus we get the resulting sum of the two actions acting along a diagonal kind of direction in that coordinate system. And then of course you can immediately generalize this to any two or even more vectors, forces just like adding any other vector so we might have a new f1 and a new f2 vector. They might each have their own x and y components and when we add these together we add the components together with their signs and keep only the ones grouped together that are in the x direction and we do the same exercise grouping only the components in the y direction and if we can actually put in numbers for this then we might get numbers in the i hat plus numbers in the j hat direction and we have our vector describing the total sum of these two forces. It's really nothing new here it's just that we are establishing a definition a mathematical description for something we already felt we already had experience with and that is that if I apply some action on an object I can change its state of motion we call that action a force and we can describe forces as vectors because we can reveal quickly that they have a vector character to them and so finally we arrive now having established a basis on which to digest Newton's laws of motion we arrive finally at the first law and the first law is the mathematical expression of something that Galileo articulated and that Newton codified mathematically establishing this really as a reliable description of nature regardless of what part of nature you are considering and it can be stated in multiple ways it can be stated mathematically it can be stated verbally so let's try verbal first Newton's first law says the following an object at rest will remain at rest and similarly an object that's already in motion will remain at constant velocity unless in either case that object is acted upon by some external force and by an outside force I mean for instance it could be three or four forces whose net effect is an imbalance a non-zero force left on the object so an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains at constant velocity unless acted upon by an outside force now another way of saying this is objects on which the net force is zero maintain their current state of motion they're at rest no net force they stay at rest if they're in motion they will be in motion at a constant velocity no acceleration unless the net force is not zero in which case their state of motion can be changed forces change velocities they change the state of motion of an object so the first law of motion can be written in a mathematical form as shown below and in many ways this is kind of an extension of the vector example I gave you on the previous slide and that is that if we have a whole bunch of forces F1 vector and F2 vector and a bunch of others all the way up to some number N N could be 100 N could be 3 some number N I don't know how many but if I have a vector that represents sum those vectors together assuming they all act on the same object then the that sum can be represented mathematically using the capital Greek letter sigma you put underneath it the beginning of the sum and you put above it the final number in the sum so we have some index that represents each force I can be equal to 1, I can be equal to 2 I can be equal to 3, etc. all the way up to I equals N this symbol compactly represents this much longer sum that I've written out over here and the first law of motion simply states that if the sum of the forces whatever they are acting on an object is equal to 0 there is no net force on the object then you shall find that the acceleration experienced by that object the change in its state of motion the change in its velocity with time is 0 I write it over here as it was presented in Latin from Isaac Newton's mathematical principles of natural philosophy or the Principia I don't translate it here but essentially in Latin what Isaac Newton is telling us is the summary of his investigations and the investigations that came before him is what I've written up here in one English sentence or another now Newton's first law is the law that I referred to earlier as being the one that allows us to establish that we are indeed in an inertial frame of reference it gives us a way of defining inertial reference frames if we're in a frame that we believe is inertial how would we verify that? well, we could take an object and we could briefly accelerate it with a force that we know will cut off at some point we get it up to some velocity we remove the source of that acceleration we stop pushing on the object for instance and we simply do an observational test if the object continues to move now at a constant velocity its speed unchanged its direction unchanged then the sum of all forces on the object must be 0 and if the sum of the forces on an object is 0 then it must be that we are in now in an inertial frame of reference if however we take away our force which should result in the object remaining then in a state of constant velocity and yet we still observe it to accelerate in some way either changing its speed or changing its direction of motion then there must be some net unbalanced acceleration and Newton's first law would tell us that if there's a net unbalanced acceleration we could say that there must be some force causing this but in a non-inertial reference frame what's actually happening is that the frame itself is experiencing an acceleration for observers in the frame who may be unaware of that they see objects moving along strange paths that imply that there's some net unbalanced force and this leads to the concept known as fictitious forces that is if you are in a non-inertial frame you will observe unbalanced accelerations non-zero accelerations and from that you would conclude from Newton's first law that there must be some kind of force that's acting this concept of fictitious forces can seem a little confusing what's really going on is it's the motion of the frame that's causing the acceleration to appear to the observers in the frame but this manifests as if a force were acting in the object as we can see in this clip that I keep showing you and so it is that we can really use Newton's first law not only to define these frames of reference as inertial or non-inertial but to understand the consequences of what it would be like to be in a non-inertial reference frame making observations that would appear to us that there are some forces acting in nature and we would have to account for them in some way to give you an example of this technically the surface of the earth which we look around and we believe to be at rest is in fact a non-inertial reference frame why? well the surface of the earth is a fixed to planet earth which rotates about once every 24 hours and the fact that you are standing on the surface of the earth and that the earth is rotating once every 24 hours means that you have a centripetal acceleration now you can't perceive this easily but for instance if you launch an object up into the sky and it stays up in the air in projectile motion for sufficiently long periods of time you will observe that it doesn't quite follow projectile motion even taking account of air resistance from these kinds of observations you can actually learn that motion with respect to the surface of the earth is actually motion that's occurring in a non-inertial reference frame but on short distances and small time scales the earth's surface is a nearly inertial reference frame it's almost good enough in reality if you have to go to high altitudes or long flight times you will observe these effects these net unbalanced forces that result from accelerations that we can't really perceive over short times and distances and so often we'll approximate experiments done on the surface of the earth as being in an inertial reference frame but buyer beware if you have to go long distances or long flight times over the surface of the earth in fact you do have to compensate for these effects of the earth rotating and as we saw earlier in this video from the 1960s these nice demonstrations of what it would look like for an object to be in a non-inertial reference frame and experience a net unbalanced force or at least be subject to an acceleration that causes an object to look like it's experiencing a net unbalanced force then of course things get more complicated very very careful but for our purposes it's good enough and as long as we consider short distances and short flight times these effects are quite small and we don't have to worry about them too much but if you're tasked for instance with launching an object over a vast distance you do have to be careful with these effects from the fact that the earth is not an inertial reference frame not perfectly so now Newton's second law is a relationship between a vector sum of forces and the change in the state of motion and this will come back to the concept that was introduced earlier and that is inertia we've seen from our little thought experiment with the feather and the bowling ball that even though these two objects can have their states of motion changed one of them requires very little force to change the state of motion and the other one requires a great deal of force to change the state of motion the bowling ball the property that these bodies have one has more than the other is inertia they're both resistant to changes in motion but one of them is less so and Newton's second law codifies this in a mathematical form and it gives us a quantity that we can go out and measure using studies of motion relating accelerations to the forces that cause them and by doing that determining the physical content of inertia so Newton's second law in sort of verbal form can be stated as follows the acceleration of a body acted upon by a net unbalanced force is proportional to the force and the proportionality is given by the mass of the body its inherent tendency to resist changes in its state of motion mass or at least one kind of mass plays the role of inertia and in fact this mass that shows up in Newton's second law of motion has a very special name it's inertial mass it's not an accident of course it is this quantity that we call mass that represents the tendency of a body to resist changes in its state of motion and it's written here mathematically forces labeled one through N and we sum them together as vectors the resulting sum will be equal to the inertial mass whatever that is of the body times its acceleration if we know the acceleration and we know the amount of force that's being applied to the body we can use this equation to solve for inertial mass on the other hand if we have a way of independently measuring inertial mass we can use that and either force and acceleration to determine the other this is a much more general statement about force and acceleration and it naturally includes the consequences of the first law if this sum is zero then acceleration must also be zero and we saw that laid out in the first law of motion it adds this new concept however that is mass or at least this mass as the source of inertia as we'll see later in the course there's another kind of mass that you can define and you can then ask questions like are these the same masses it's an excellent question and we might revisit that later now of course over here I just to impress you I put in the Latin form of law number two as written by Isaac Newton in the Principia but essentially it says exactly what is being set up here although perhaps in translation a much fancier way of saying it than I've said it here nonetheless this is the very famous equation that fits on a t-shirt F equals MA and it is one of the laws of nature it is the law that we have observed over and over again reliably relating forces accelerations and the resistance to the change in state of motion that's observed in bodies in the natural world let me give you a demonstration of inertia I'm going to take this heavy lead brick and I'm going to rest it on top of my hand now my hand is sitting on a sandbag but that's just to make the palm of my hand comfortable for the rest of what's going to happen I rest the lead brick on my hand and I pick up a standard Carpenter's hammer what I'm going to do is I'm going to repeatedly smack the brick with the hammer watch what happens despite hitting this brick with all of my might this thing is made of lead lead is very massive and that means it has a tremendous resistance to changes in state of motion so while the brick feels heavy on my hand it's not comfortable hitting it with the hammer doesn't really do anything I barely feel it it's like having a lead airbag over your hand and as you can see my hand is completely fine it's intact no problems finally we encounter Newton's third law of motion it's the final law in the set of three and it's an interesting one as we'll see later for things like rocketry for instance if you wanted to send something people or perhaps a robot or some other kind of mission equipment from a place like the earth to a place like the moon or Mars or even further Newton's third law gives you the means by which you can make this happen and we'll come back to that concept later but I want to just emphasize the basics of the third law of motion now in language form we might say Newton's third law says the following the force applied by one object on another is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force applied by the second on the first another way of saying this is maybe the more popular way in which this law is depicted for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction the mutual actions of two bodies upon one another are always equal but directed oppositely so for example let's think about you standing on the floor you push on the floor but what Newton's third law tells us is that the floor pushes back on you your net force the magnitude of your force independent of its direction is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by the floor on you but it's oppositely directed how can this be well again think about what we learned from Newton's first and second laws let's take the second law you're standing on a floor you're not moving so you're not walking you're just standing there do you fall through the floor no does the floor push you up into the ceiling cracking your skull no not in a normal functioning room so you are not accelerating your state of motion is not changing nonetheless you're very much pushing on the floor your feet and you might even interpret that sensation in your feet as the floor pushing back on you but you're not accelerating well it must be then that the net acceleration is zero nonetheless there's a push you push on the floor it pushes back on you but if there's no acceleration these forces which are vectors must add up and if they add up they must add to zero the third law is that we see the third law kind of laid out in vector form here the force that you say number one exert on the floor say number two is the same as the force that the floor exerts on you two on one except in the opposite direction and so if you move f21 to the left hand side of this equation you'll see that it's a sum of forces f12 plus f21 add f21 vector to both sides of this equation the left hand side will contain the sum but the right hand side will contain zero because f21 added to negative f21 is zero and so this sum is zero because you're not accelerating you're standing on the floor it's not pushing your head up into the ceiling there is no net vertical acceleration therefore it must be that you push on the floor with the same strength of force but different direction as the floor pushes back on you in a sense is its own observation but is tied up very neatly with the other laws of motion that we've already seen before and you can see how these laws really build on each other as we go forward again just to impress you I put law number three in its Latin form from the Principia over here but essentially it says again in its original form these little translations these different ways of thinking about it say here the third law is really boring because it tells you especially if you're in a situation where nothing is moving at all that all of these forces are balanced on the other hand you have to be careful with this because as we'll see not every situation involves a lack of motion for instance you could be standing on the floor of an elevator and that elevator overall might be lifting you up you are still pushing on the floor of the elevator and the floor of the elevator is still pushing on you but obviously there's a net acceleration in this situation and we'll come back to situations like this and explore them in the consequences of the first, second and third law of motion the first of these is friction now friction is a force that arises from two surfaces that are in contact with one another and slide over each other making contact while they move past think about having some kind of brick or block maybe you've got a rope attached to it you lay the block down on a seemingly flat, smooth surface the block itself is flat and smooth you pull on the block in an attempt to accelerate it up to a constant velocity a la Newton's second law and Newton's first law but you keep being defeated the surfaces rubbing past each other induces a force and that force opposes the motion and that's because surfaces are not perfectly flat and smooth and you can consider the cartoon shown above here where we've got one surface on the top one surface on the bottom we've zoomed way in and looked at the imperfections in those surfaces even seemingly perfectly smooth surfaces nonetheless have imperfections they have what could be pictured when surfaces move over one another the mountains get tangled up in the valleys of the other and vice versa and so you wind up with this kind of slip-stick-slip-stick motion the surfaces are slipping over each other but they lock together as they slide they collide they're bouncing past one another a little bit you can even hear sound when you slide one surface over another and sound means you're wasting energy someplace to inhibit the free motion of the surfaces past one another and as a result you get a resistance in the motion it's against the direction of motion and so you attempt to change the motion up to a constant speed but because friction acts against the direction of the velocity of the object it slows it down and eventually brings it to rest now in general friction can occur anytime two materials move past each other some materials are better than others think about non-stick cookware which is coated in a material called Teflon or the Analon process for making non-stick cookware these are very smooth surfaces you can easily pry even the most badly burned material off that surface nonetheless it's not perfect and you can't get an object to remain in motion forever if it's rubbing across that surface the surface will eventually deplete it of its energy which we'll learn more about later and the motion will stop it always opposes against the direction of motion now this force is denoted many ways for instance I've written it here as a vector F with a subscript F-R-I-C could be friction in the subscript could be a little F with a vector hat over it different books use different notations but the key thing is that it always points in the direction opposite the motion or if you are changing the motion or something it attempts to oppose that change another force that we encounter in the natural world which is really quite important to all of the structures that we build especially things like bridges as depicted on the right is the force of tension this is the force that occurs when for instance you pull on a rope or a cable or a string and the rope and cable so it doesn't for instance go anywhere for instance if it's a fix to a wall on one end and you pull on the cable until it's taut it doesn't go anywhere after that it stops it resists tearing this force of tension is a resistance to tearing or stretching it's a force that's directed in principle along the length of the object that's being yanked on so rope or cable string something like that so it's always a force that is directed along the length of the object that's being pulled or pushed it's often denoted by a symbol like a capital T with a vector hat over it it may be denoted in other ways but this one is fairly common and makes it quite distinctive in calculations and as you can imagine tension is a really crucial force when maintaining a static situation for instance one where you really don't want much or any motion although you know of course it's present in dynamical situations but if we consider the bridge on the right for instance when a bridge is standing there still it's not falling over which is what you want it maintains itself even with large numbers of cars and trucks moving over it that is largely in part due especially on suspension bridges to the tension in the structure and the way that tension distributes the overall load on the bridge across the structure that's not concentrated in any one place and the whole bridge kind of internally shares the load of the weight on it we'll come back to this kind of concept later in practice but I just want to give you a feeling for this now that there's tension in those cables even if you don't see it and because of Newton's third law we have a situation where the cables may be pulling on the tower of the bridge but the tower of the bridge is pulling back on the cable and there's no net acceleration whatsoever in this structure that you want of course bridges move a little they rock, they sway, they bounce up and down if you've ever walked across a long suspension bridge you'll notice the bridge is moving and it can be a very uncomfortable sensation especially for somebody like me who has a fear of heights nonetheless the bridge is mostly not moving especially given the forces and tensions that it's under by having things drive or walk over it so tension is an extremely crucial force in engineering extremely familiar force we've talked about it in class, we've seen it before in these lecture videos but what sets it apart from the forces that I've just been talking about friction for instance or tension is that this is a non-contact force it makes it a very strange thing for instance absolutely no physical contact between two objects is required for this force to exist you don't need air to be between the two objects no material substance can lie between two objects and yet they can experience the force of gravity this makes it extremely distinctive from other kinds of forces friction is explicitly a contact force and tension is also a contact force because if we think about the block and the rope that I just showed you I'm holding the rope on one end the rope is tied to the block on the other end it's making physical contact with the block the tension exists in the rope in between this is definitely a force that owes its origins at the largest scales to contact between two objects but gravity now gravity is a strange beast and it was a beast that vexed Isaac Newton we'll come back to that in a little bit and we're going to explore gravity itself in much more detail later but what you need to know for now is that it is an attractive force between any two bodies possessing mass so if two things have mass, if they have inertia, resistance to changes in motion and we'll come back to that relationship in a bit then it's possible for those two objects to act upon one another via the force of gravity and it can happen even if they are not in physical contact with each other, the moon makes no physical contact with the earth, not even its atmosphere and yet the moon remains bound to the earth as if on a long tether a quarter of a million mile tether stretches out into nearly empty space and holds a massive object in the grip of another massive object it's really quite stunning and it was Isaac Newton ultimately that shed the first light on this mysterious force although it would take many others in the hundreds of years that would follow to really figure this out it's often denoted in mathematics by something like F vector with a subscript G or G-R-A-V these are symbols you might find both in our textbook or in other textbooks and I have to say as I've hinted here that gravity is a much much more rich and detailed phenomenon that I've given it to I can't give it enough of an appreciation at this point in the course but for now this description as an attractive force between any two objects even if they're not in contact will suffice for our needs now related to gravity is the force which we call weight you might mistake weight for mass it's a very common misconception weight is a combination of effects it's the force that you exert on the ground due to the effect that gravity's acceleration has on your mass so you have mass therefore you are acting on the earth and the earth is acting on you Newton's third law the force that you exert on the floor when you make contact with it due to the gravitational attraction of your body to the earth pushes on the ground and the ground pushes back on you and it's this force due to your mass being yanked on by the earth that results in weight now weight is denoted many ways but one common way is a lowercase w with a vector hat over it it is a vector so it is important to note the distinction not only is weight not the same as mass weight is very distinctive from mass because it has direction and magnitude mass has no direction and only magnitude and so we have to relate them to one another and how are they related? we have to take the product of our mass with the acceleration due to gravity g with the vector hat over it that's our old friend 9.81 meters per second squared pointing downward toward the center of the earth now your mass never changes that is unless you lose or gain atoms so of course it's possible to add atoms to your body or take atoms away and that would indeed change your mass but that's the only way you can change your mass your weight however can be changed merely by being exposed to less of a gravitational acceleration so let's look at an example of this on earth I have a mass of 89 kilograms which in imperial units translates to 197 pounds or thereabouts and on earth I exert a weight on the floor of 873 newtons now what the heck is a newton? a newton is the unit of force in meters, kilograms and seconds if we take a look at this equation up here or if we take newtons second law f equals m times acceleration we can immediately get the units of force they are kilograms which is the unit of mass per second squared a kilogram meter per second squared is given a much simpler name a newton one kilogram meter per second squared is one newton and I exert 873 of those on the floor because my mass, 89 kilograms needs to be multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity on my mass which is 9.81 meters per second squared now if I were to go to the moon where the acceleration due to gravity is about one-sixth that of earth owing to the fact that there's a lot less mass in the moon and gravity is a force that is attractive between masses and determined by those masses as we'll see later my weight would actually just be 142 newtons for the same mass I can contain the same number of atoms but if I step on a scale on the moon I wouldn't exert the same force on that scale and as a result the scale would read not in fact my 197 pounds which is how scales on earth would be calibrated to read off in pounds given our gravitational acceleration but something much less if I wanted to be on the moon and have a scale still read 197 pounds I would have to do something called calibrating it I would have to change the way that it relates pounds to my force on the scale taking into account the fact that on the moon the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth that of earth okay so scales make an assumption when you step on a scale an engineering assumption has been built into it that when you exert a force on that scale it should translate that force into something like a weight into your mass using an acceleration of 9.81 meters per second squared that same scale would tell me that I'm only 33 pounds which is kind of amazing so your weight which is a force can be altered by altering your mass but also simply altering the acceleration due to gravity on that mass now the final force that I want to talk about here is known as the normal force it's not per se independent of the ones I've already talked about but it is an important concept in aspects of Newton's third law that is when you exert a force on something it exerts a force back on you now normal here is not used in a judgmental way it's a different terminology it's a mathematical or geometric meaning normal merely means perpendicular in a mathematical or physics context so the normal force is the force exerted by a surface back on an object for instance if I'm standing on the floor I'm pushing on the floor with my weight the floor pushes back on me and the force that it pushes back on me with is what we call the normal force this is a consequence of Newton's third law of motion again this force is exerted in a 90 degree angle to the surface so if the surface is flat and I'm standing on it my weight is pushing down into the floor and the normal force is exerted perpendicular to the surface of the floor into my feet it's always exerted perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact and again normal is a mathematical or geometric term meaning at a right angle perpendicular consider the cartoon shown over here on the right we have not a flat floor but an inclined block an inclined plane that is a surface that is raised at an angle now the block shown here in a lighter blue shade is resting on the plane on the surface of this of this incline and the rule is that the normal force always is directed perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact so if we consider a point of contact right here between the block and the incline then the rule is that because of Newton's third law the block pushes on the incline and the incline pushes back on the block and this force is exerted in a direction perpendicular to the incline the normal force must point up into the block and at exactly a right angle to the inclined plane's surface it's not 90 degrees to the floor on which the incline rests but rather 90 degrees to the surface that the block makes contact with on the incline it's typically denoted by one of a couple of symbols at least a big N or F with a vector hat over it and a subscript N for normal before I close out the formal part of this lecture video I would like to make a little comment on at least some of the forces that I've just described with a focus on friction tension and the normal force it is easy in first semester physics to begin to think that there are an abundance of distinct forces in the universe I certainly believe this when I was first introduced to the study of physics as a young student but the reality is is that all of the forces that we observe in nature really boil down to aspects of so far as we know simply four distinctive fundamental forces you typically do not encounter them this early in an education in physics but nonetheless it's worth peeling away the curtain a little bit and looking behind the scenes to see what's really going on in the universe now in the second semester of this course you will explore a very specific pair of forces and those are electricity and magnetism and since atoms are made from electric charges electrons and protons and atoms bind one to another through the details of electromagnetic interactions not just the kinds of electromagnetic interactions you'll learn in a course at the introductory level but the more advanced interactions and the way you describe them that you would learn in a second, third, or fourth year physics course on quantum physics or quantum mechanics and in fact most of the mechanical forces that we explore in this course with the exception of gravity are ultimately explicable purely as aspects of electromagnetism let's take a look at friction you know most surfaces are irregular and uneven you can picture them as the image that's shown over here this has actually been drawn by generating two what are called fractal images that look like mountain ranges one surface the top gray one is one fractal mountain range and the orange or yellow one on the bottom is another fractal mountain range these geometries are not regular but they are self similar at all scales you can zoom in here you will see that it really looks the same as it did when you were zoomed out this is a pretty good representation of what the irregularities of a surface would look like for instance here is a real image of the surface of glass glass we normally think of as a very smooth material but in fact if you do careful measurements at extremely small distance scales from here to here in the image is just 5 millions of a meter 5 microns you can see that in fact the surface of glass is rich in irregularities there are these very interesting sort of striations that cut through the surface and you can see here these little mountain ranges these are not these mountains as we think of them these are the results of collections of atoms in irregular groupings atoms if you wanted to see them you would have to go down another 100,000 times or so in size to see those here you are seeing large aggregates of silicon and oxygen atoms forming these irregular structures but nonetheless we can see in a simulation of the surface say of two materials or in a real image of the surface of a material like glass that there are these irregularities these irregularities arise from the details of the bonding of atoms they jut up out of a material they create these ridges in the material these lower points and so forth and when two such surfaces pass over each other the electrons and the surface atoms repel each other electrons have a charge like charges repel one another masses attract each other gravitationally if two things with the same electric charge get near each other they push themselves away from one another and this causes the surfaces to not only keep apart and not blend into one another but to bounce over one another to feel a resistance a force against one another this can induce things like sound waves in the material as we will see in an example in a moment this is just atoms compressing and stretching their bonds there's nothing exciting going on here except the details of electricity and magnetism electromagnetism in atoms it is atoms it is the behavior of atoms at their most fundamental levels that create friction when they're aggregated together in large numbers another example is tension pulling on one end of a rope why does the other end of the rope feel anything how does the force get from the contact point at one end to the contact point at the other and the answer is very similar to what we can visualize with atoms pulling on other atoms through their electromagnetic interactions you're just yanking on these bonds between atoms and fundamentally that's just electromagnetism so as long as the force the tension for instance is not sufficient to break atomic bonds if you put in a certain amount of energy you can tear atoms apart from one another and that would be a failure of the material if you can't do that then the rope will remain intact it will simply maybe stretch a little bit and it will push back against the force on each end because the atoms are bonded to one another chemically they don't want to be pulled apart they're in a sort of happy state and they don't want to get further away from each other and so they resist that change and that's what we call tension we can visualize it by zooming in on a representation of DNA the thing that encodes all of our identities in a biological and genetic level it's really just an assemblage of atoms into different molecules four regular molecules that are then assembled together into these long chains with a double helix structure it's really atomic rope it's actually two atomic ropes bonded and twisted around each other and so here we can see an atomic kind of rope and it's easy to see here that it's just atoms acting on other atoms that transmits the tension through this structure yanking gets transmitted up the chain to the atoms on the other end the normal force at this point it's probably in your mind fairly intuitive now what the normal force is you stand on the floor your feet are in the soles of your shoes they are being pulled down toward the center of the earth by gravity therefore you're exerting weight a force on the floor and the floor pushes back on you but what is doing the pushing it's atoms the electrons in the atoms in your feet are repelled by the atoms in the electrons in the floor and you don't pass through the floor which otherwise would be what would happen it's a good thing it allows structures to stand up on the surface of the earth and not get yanked to its liquid molten core the fact that electromagnetism exists allows all of the structure we see around us to be in the first place and so you're prevented from falling through the floor by just the way that atoms behave with one another through the electric and magnetic forces that are the core of their bonds and interactions with one another it's really quite a beautiful synthesis of nature under the hood behind the scenes behind stage here this manifests as different mechanical forces friction tension the normal force but really it's just atoms being atoms and that's what's amazing about this stuff is you can understand so much by understanding the smallest things that make up everything that we see this is why physicists have a real passion for finding the building blocks of nature figuring out the rules that govern their behavior if you extend that up to the largest structures like planets or stars galaxies or galaxy clusters perhaps we can understand everything as it is now as it was near or at the beginning of time and perhaps even into the future you can see why this is such an exciting study of nature let's close the formal part of this lecture by reviewing the key ideas that we have seen we've seen that it is forces that are the cause of changes and states of motion that is if something has a velocity and that velocity is constant at its velocity you must create an acceleration and it is forces that create accelerations we have observed that force is also described as a vector and obeys all the properties of vectors and that's what allows us to make mathematical relationships between forces and accelerations and we've seen those relationships fleshed out as we have begun to explore Sir Isaac Newton's three laws of motions these are the first laws of nature so simple so compact that we have encountered in this class they seem so trivial and yet I promise you you will struggle with them conceptually and you will be better for that struggle because after all if these are some of the reasons why and how everything is in the universe shouldn't it be our job to wrestle with them so that we can come to an understanding of the cosmos as it is as it was and as it will be in the future these are the challenges to the physicist and these are the challenges I extend to you as we begin to apply Newton's laws to the universe around us I promised at the beginning of the lecture video that I would return to Isaac Newton's great work the mathematical principles of natural philosophy to close out this lecture I really want you to understand how deeply pivotal in the history of science the work of Newton was not just building on the fantastic work of people like Galileo before him but setting the stage for so many things that would come come afterward and I think it's worth taking a moment to appreciate at least in this translation of the Principia the closing words of Isaac Newton at the end of his work now what I find as I said earlier particularly fascinating was not the level of certainty that he communicates at the end of this work but rather a sense of incompleteness and that's important because after all if scientists understood everything this would simply stop doing what they're doing and just become applied we would just apply everything we had already learned and the fact that we don't all apply things is a positive sign it means that humans have not yet reached the final frontier of all knowledge we're still pushing the boundaries of what we know but we do not know everything and that of course means tremendous opportunities for all of you to make discoveries going forward one of the things that this book is about in a short while in the course is gravity we've seen how gravity is one of many forces that can be described by Newton's second law for instance but what is gravity really in this book Isaac Newton lays out the mathematical description of gravity as a force he explains that it has to do with the mass content of two bodies and because they possess mass they're able to influence each other without physical contact gravity is this contactless force it's relatively strange when you think about other mechanical forces like tension or friction these are forces that require contact but gravity does not gravity can act through the vacuum of empty space in fact it does the earth pulls on the moon the moon pulls on the earth the moon goes around the earth the sun pulls on the moon these these are just the realities of everyday life whether we take the moment to appreciate them or not Isaac Newton had accomplished a lot but he knew he had not figured out everything and he expresses this beautifully at the end of his work so in this translation it's page 442 of 443 which marks the end of the mathematical principles so let me begin to read here but he threw two I have not been able to discover the cause of gravity from phenomena he says and I frame no hypotheses for whatever is not deduced from the phenomena is to be called an hypothesis and hypotheses whether metaphysical or physical whether of occult qualities or mechanical laws have no place in experimental philosophy let's pause there for a moment what's amazing about this is that Isaac Newton admits right here at the very end I can't tell you why gravity is the things that I can describe it to do I cannot tell you what the cause of gravity is not ultimately it reaches out over a distance with nothing in between to exert an influence between two bodies but he has no idea why and in investigating this phenomenon he has not revealed the reason indeed that would be left to a later generation of scientists one of them very famous Albert Einstein but even Newton recognized the limits of what he had accomplished and I think that's incredible and what's also incredible is how responsible he is here at the end he doesn't speculate wildly he doesn't make up a good story that sounds good to the reader perhaps for fear of having that good story be left in the mind of the reader as if it were truth instead he avoids framing any hypotheses to explain why gravity he can explain how gravity but he doesn't explain why gravity is not a reader with perhaps his own speculations he won't do it continuing on in this philosophy particular propositions are inferred from the phenomena and afterwards rendered by general induction thus it was that the impenetrability the mobility and the impulsive forces of body and the laws of motion and of gravitation were discovered in other words by interrogating natural phenomena by conducting experiments by observing how matter behaves under the influence of forces it is possible to discern the laws that govern those behaviors and that's a powerful thing he says so right here so much has been accomplished by doing this but implicit in this is that the final prize the why of gravity is left undiscovered he goes on and to us it is enough that gravity does really exist and act according to the laws which we have explained and abundantly serves to account for all the motions of the celestial bodies and of our sea these are incredible accomplishments to understand the tides to understand the motion of the moon of the planets of our own planet around the sun all explicable by the embrace of gravity and the law that governs its strength with distance and mass but none of that explains why gravity is and where it comes from and so I think that that is particularly interesting for a scientist to admit at the end of their greatest work I don't know I don't know is a powerful statement because I don't know is the beginning of real learning and being willing to admit that even at the end of a work that's considered foundational in the history of science for so many things is in and of itself quite powerful now here's the final punchline one of the things that he then goes on to talk about in the very last paragraph of the book is the potential for this action at a distance without physical contact to perhaps have explanatory power in other phenomena he gets a little bit spiritual here at the end of the book in the last paragraph but what I find interesting about this is that while he starts invoking the word spirit I think in many ways he's attempting to suggest that if one could understand gravity based on studying the phenomena further and applying the law of gravitation as Newton discovered it maybe it would give us insight into other phenomena which are equally mysterious and unilluminated at the time of Newton so for instance maybe it would help us to understand why light is emitted reflected, refracted, inflected and heats bodies and indeed a revolution in our understanding of that would come in the next century century and a half after this work but that would be left to another generation after Isaac Newton he speculates that perhaps we'll learn more about nerve impulses and the connection between the brain and the body and that's a deep insight because it does turn out that our bodies are electrical in nature and that electric currents have a significant role to play in nerve impulses and thought at the biochemical level he concludes but these are things that cannot be explained in a few words nor are we furnished with that sufficiency of experiments which is required to an accurate determination and demonstration of the laws by which this electric and elastic spirit operates now I don't think that spirit is meant to be taken completely spiritually here but it's interesting of course as a choice of words, he was a man of great faith Isaac Newton but what's fascinating about this is that he's not entirely wrong in the sense that the law of gravity describes a force which acts over a distance and indeed is would be discovered in subsequent work in the next couple of generations the electric force itself also is known to act over distances the magnetic force is also known to act over distances without physical contact and the laws that describe those phenomena would be uncovered and in uncovering those laws the great genius of another scientist named Michael Faraday would come to a new idea that there are fields of force that stretch between the source and the recipient of the force and it's the experiencing of the field of force that allows for this force at a distance to occur we have pictures in our mind mostly because we understand gravity a lot better now about gravity as a great field of force that stretches out for instance from the earth and we're caught up in that field and so we respond to that field this concept of a field of force was one that would be introduced in about the middle of the 1800s and it wouldn't be taken very seriously until it was put on firm mathematical footing in the 1860s by another scientist named James Clerk Maxwell with all of that in place it was then possible to begin to understand what gravity was it was some kind of field of force sourced by mass and felt by mass that allowed for this weird action at a distance this non-physical, non-contact force but it wouldn't be until about 1916 or so that the final piece of the puzzle would be put into place we'll come back to this a little bit when we talk about the law of gravitation and a bit more about what Newton codified in the Principia about gravity but it is absolutely true that if you want to completely understand the modern picture of gravity which is a beautiful synthesis of space and time and energy and matter, the things that physics studies you really have to go beyond the introductory level you need to go to at least third semester physics and ideally beyond that to other coursework in the field it is a deep journey it is mathematically a very dense picture but it is a beautiful cosmos that we live in and to truly understand it you have to be willing to dive somewhat deep into these things some time I hope you enjoyed this lecture on Newton's laws of motion we're going to use this for quite some time in the course and then we're going to build on this foundation into further understanding of different kinds of motion and forces as we get into the next phase of the course	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz9AXnlz2g8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I'm Sonia and I'm here to bring you three quick picks for Game Six of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors. So first and foremost, you can give me Clay Thompson over 3.5 threes. Game Six Clay is alive and well. This man averages over 49% of all threes in Game Six of the NBA Finals. So I see him hitting this number. I think he's going to go berserk. He wants Golden State to win. Why not? And if you'd like a little bit of extra juice, you can go with over 4.5 threes. Now my second pick of the night is Andrew Wiggins over 7.5 rebounds. Listen, with Robert Williams, Al Horford, Draymond Green and Kavan Lumi out there, it doesn't even matter. Andrew Wiggins is the top rebounder of this series. The All-Star is showing us why he deserves not only recognition on the offensive end, but the defensive end as well. This man has hit 10 plus rebounds in the last two games, and I don't see Game Six being any different. So go ahead and give me Wiggins over 7.5 rebounds. Now for my third and final pick, I'm going with Al Horford over 9.5 points. Horford has a trend where he'll go under one game and then bounce back in the next. I love this Game Six for a bounce back spot. Not only are they in TD Garden, but this is a must-win game for the Celtics. They win or they go home. Horford doesn't have a ring. A lot of these guys don't have their first ring, so what better time to snap than in Game Six? So you can tell my picks, you can fade them. Either way, best of luck on Game Six, and let us see some green slips.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZYwG780hc4", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCKyTokYo0nK2OA-az-sDijA	The Risk From Imported Pests		[ "agriculture", "pests", "insects", "imported food", "learning English", "VOA", "captioned videos", "food industry", "VOA Learning English", "Learn American English", "Voice of America", "Speak English" ]	2013-05-15T13:18:18	2024-02-05T06:28:07	188	vz2PPTMfJ7g	From VOA Learning English, this is the Agriculture Report. Agriculture is a big business. More than $1 trillion worth of agricultural products are traded internationally every year. But countries may put their own plants at risk when they import fruits, vegetables, wood and other products. As products are unloaded from ships and planes, some unwelcome visitors may find a new home. The stink bug is one example. This pest eats fruit crops. It is believed to have arrived in the United States from China. Other pests include fruit fly eggs or fungal spores. Some well-known threats include wheat rust, African army worms, cassava bacterial blight and the European grapevine moth. The list goes on. To fight the problem, there are new standards under the International Plant Protection Convention. Craig Fedchok is the coordinator of the treaty. He says the purpose of the convention is to develop standards for the trade of plants and plant products. The convention was first approved in 1952. It is recognized as one of the three bodies that set standards for the World Trade Organization. New standards for pest risk analysis were released at the convention's annual meeting in Rome. These give greater guidance for deciding whether an imported plant might be a threat to cultivated or wild plants. Craig Fedchok says changes were also made to standards for wood packaging material. Wood packaging can carry pests like beetles that can harm native forests. Agricultural pests are believed to cause billions of dollars in damage each year. Finding an estimate is difficult. Countries may not want their trading partners to know the full extent of the problem. For VOA Learning English, I'm Alex Spillareo.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz2PPTMfJ7g", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCu3Ri8DI1RQLdVtU12uIp1Q	Mike Olson - hBase 2012 - theCUBE	Big data is booming, says Cloudera CEO Mike Olson. Hortonworks is "doing great work along with us and many others in driving the Hadoop platform forward," he said in an interview webcast live in the Cube from hBaseCon2012 over at SiliconAngle.tv (see full video below). And one indication of that is the entry of major vendors -- IBM with Big Insights, Oracle with Big Data Plan, and EMC as well. "We're seeing a real focus on big data as a business issue, not merely by wild-eyed visionaries in Silicon Valley, but by some of the biggest, business-focused vendors on the planet. And that's because customers ... recognize they have big data problems, and they need a big data solution." Despite the entry of these big players, the market is growing faster than the competition. CloudEra is seeing growth on every metric -- total size of the clusters its existing customers are running, the pipeline of new business, the size of the investment that customers are making in the infrastructure are all sharply up. "Certainly our last year was tremendous, and we're looking forward to an even bigger 2012." The big data market is moving forward rapidly in technology focus as well. For the first two years that CloudEra was in business, "we were trying to convince people that this platform was important." Today Hadoop is the "anointed winner in the big data platform is space. So the question in big data now is what are you going to do with it? How are you going to get at it? What kinds of applications are going to make it available?" That is where the commercial vendors are working, building those applications on top of Hadoop and hBase. "IBM's Big Insights offering is very powerful, very interesting." Another product Olson cites as particularly interesting is the new version of Informatica PowerCenter/PowerExchange. "It supports Hadoop natively, so you can integrate data from Hadoop with all your other infrastructure."	[ "The Cube", "hBase 2012", "Mike Olson", "Cloudera", "John Furrier", "SiliconANGLE" ]	2012-05-23T08:20:08	2024-02-05T08:44:53	963	vZIg4xY4Q3w	Back to theCUBE. Thank you, John. Good to be here. So, HBase is taking the world by storm. I had a chance to talk with a console plot and there was a co-founder of SAP last week at Sapphire and they introduced Han. I asked him, what are you guys doing with HBase? He kind of didn't really have a clue what was going on at HBase. He says, oh, my guys are on that. But that's really kind of the role here. HBase is quickly emerging in the open source community as the database on top of Hadoop and applications are running, operations are running. So tell the folks out there what HBase is here. You kicked off the conference. This is a technical conference. Explain to the folks what's HBase conference. Well, be glad to do that. In Ahasso's defense, we think that Hadoop, generally, and HBase in particular, really are great compliments to what he's built with HANA and frankly what we've seen in the relational database industry produce in terms of online transaction processing systems four years in a year. So absolutely confirm that there's broad interest in integrating with HBase among the established vendors. You know, we've been big fans of Hadoop for four years since inception of the business. Actually, my co-founders go back earlier than that. They were among the people who created the platform back in the consumer internet. Hadoop always got banged around a little bit though because it didn't provide sort of interactive speed, consistent data delivery. You want fast record storage and retrieval if you're doing big data management. Hadoop is very good at relatively high latency but also very deep analytics on data. Sometimes when you've done that analysis, you just want to fetch the results really quick. HBase makes that possible. It runs on top of Hadoop. So it takes advantage of all the scale out that Hadoop offers, lives on top of HDFS. So data that you put in HBase is available for analysis using the full force of MapReduce. But it's able to deliver records to users really at web speed and it's scaled up to enormous deployments. Facebook in the opening keynote today announced that their entire messaging system runs on top of HBase. Billions of messages per day flow into and out of that system. Absolutely astonishing. I found the Facebook presentation to be quite informative and relevant and quite surprising that they were sharing with the community their best practices and also specific use cases of how they roll out applications on top of HBase. Well, it's one of the unfair advantages that open source projects like Hadoop, like HBase have, the users actually contribute to the platform. So Facebook is not merely a big consumer of the technology but also a pretty significant contributor. The HBase community spans a whole bunch of different organizations. StumbleUpon, Paterra certainly is in there, many, many others. But it's able to be driven forward by the users with the specific problems, like Facebook, who know what their workloads are and what services they need. It's grown very, very quickly. In fact, one of the things I said in my keynote is from a standing start a couple of years ago when we first noticed that HBase was getting adopted by Paterra customers, it's become the way that our largest customers use Hadoop and largest in two senses. The very largest data volumes, typically, centered in HBase these days. And also, the largest investment in the platform. Also, a good signing for a big HBase. Well, you know, we've been playing with HBase with our little data project, SiliconANGLE, and we would not have been able to do the things that we're doing without HBase, but it's absolutely true. Within the AlphaGeek circles, HBase is quickly rising to be that solution. But what you were just saying earlier about Hadoop, so you guys had a different perspective. Hadoop was being adopted by the web-scale companies like Yahoo, and Amar once said on theCUBE, they saw the future and Paterra was then built. It was great for Batch. But with all the interest on real-time business, with analytics being a focus of a lot of the business and big data, Insights is really around real-time. What's your view of how real-time is impacting the Hadoop and Hadoop ecosystem in HBase in particular? Well, you know, you make a good point. I made it glancing late earlier. People have knocked Hadoop a lot because it is this Batchman platform, right? But in fact, that's not a fundamental limitation of the platform. That's just a missing feature. It's a bug, right? And over time, you should expect the community, broadly, to fill in those holes, to make the platform more useful and more considerable. Real-time data delivery, where you need large numbers of people to be able to get access to individual records at interactive or better speeds, absolutely is growing in importance in our installments. Pairing the powerful analytics, the powerful data processing power, with the ability to deliver results to an enormous number of people at WebStone, going to be transformative, I absolutely agree. Let's talk a little bit about Cloudera at the first Hadoop world in New York. You had NTT on, and I know as you've done a business deal since with them in Japan. What's going on with the company right now? Because the market's growing in a very large way right now, not just within the small industry that was once Hadoop. You had Hortonworks came in and there was a little bit of Hortonworks Cloudera, but now the market's growing so big. Talk about the market that you're in and some of the successes you've had over the past year. Well, I'm absolutely glad to hear that and appreciate the chance. You know, when we began Cloudera, we were the only voice in the wilderness. No one else embraced it. Nobody else was talking about the importance of big data to enterprise. Fast forward four years, where we are now. Sure, Hortonworks is active in the market, and I will say doing great work along with us and many others on driving that Hadoop platform forward. There's more investment from venture capitalists and startups like ours. There is more direct participation by the big vendors. So IBM with big insights, Oracle with their big data clients, EMC with their offerings as well. You're seeing a real focus on big data as a business problem, not merely by wild-eyed visionaries and Silicon Valley, but by some of the biggest enterprise companies, some of the biggest business-focused vendors on the planet. And that's because customers are demanding the platform. They recognize that they have big data problems and they need a big data solution. We're seeing growth on every metro. Total size of the clusters that our existing customers are running, pipeline of new deals that are flowing in, even the size of the deployments, the investment that our customers are making in that infrastructure all sharply up into the right. I would say right now that the market is growing much faster than competitive pressure is emerging. Certainly, our last year was tremendous and we're looking forward to an even bigger 2012 on the back of that road. Okay, well, congratulations. It's always been great to watch you guys grow and being the founders of this space in a commercial way and then work with the community to keep that balance of the force, if you will, has been fantastic. Let's talk about Hadoop World this past year. You talked about the big data fund. We're going to have Ping Lee on with Excel. Talk about more about that. But it was a real emphasis of almost a sigh of, not victory, but from your standpoint satisfaction. Like we've gotten to a point now where a platform and applications was the focus. What is the current update from your standpoint on this application focus? I know this is fun with Excel, that's separate, but what's going on in the market relative to applications on top of Hadoop and HBase? Well, it's exactly the right place to be paying attention right now. So for the initial couple of years that we were in business, we were trying to convince people that this platform was important. We talked a lot about features. We talked a lot about scale. We talked a lot about performance. I think that battle's won. Hadoop is the anointed winner in the big data platform space. The question really is, how do you use it? Big data matters, sure. What are you going to do with it? How are you going to get at it? How are you going to look at it? What kind of applications are going to make it available? We're seeing now, not just the big data fund investment that Excel and other DCs are making, but also large companies. I mentioned IBM a little while ago. It's big insights offering, is very powerful, very interesting. I was just last week, pardon me, at Informatica World in Las Vegas, in Las Vegas. Informatica has announced version 9.5 of PowerCenter PowerExchange, support Hadoop natively. So you can integrate data from Hadoop with all of your other infrastructure. That kind of integration, that kind of application support for big data, it makes the platform accessible to users who really never had access to big data before. And I think you're going to see more of that from the established vendors. Certainly you'll see this year, over the course of the summer, but especially at Strata Hadoop World in the fall, you'll see a lot of very exciting companies with new analytic tools launch and show off what they've been working on in the lab. Pretty good stuff. Talk about what's happening here at the HBASE conference, I'll say you guys seeded, invested the Hadoop world now, it's being run by O'Reilly. Again, you're taking the ball in your hands here by creating this technical conference. What's happening here on the ground inside the halls here? So I'll give you a couple of quick anecdotes and then I'll dive into the actual content. When we ran the first Hadoop World in New York City, had about 500 people show up. We decided that HBASE, just this one component of the stack that we distribute now, was getting interesting enough that we wanted to do a conference for it. We budgeted 500 heads. We got space for 500 people sold out weeks ago. We scrambled, we managed to work with the venue here. Add an additional 100 heads instantly sold out. 600 people showed up for what you could think of as a pretty deep, deep technical conference. I bet that we're gonna do this again and I bet that we're gonna see some pretty substantial growth just as we did with Hadoop World. Look, we concentrated not on vendor pitches but on real stories by real users of real use cases. Talking about what they're doing with HBASE, applications that they're running on top of it, they're experience operating the system in production. And for the developers, what we need to do next, what features are missing, what enhancements we ought to make. More than 100 submissions came in. I thought that the program committee did a great job narrowing that down, but even so, we had to add an additional track. There was so much great content. So the one problem with this event is that there's not gonna be kind of a suit all. It's exactly right. It's too much demand. That's great. So the system's exploding everywhere at the interest. The profile, and you have a history in the database market. You sold your last company to Oracle. So you've kind of seen this movie before in the database days. It's kind of different now. What is happening? Because you've got a lot of younger engineers coming in, computer science students. It's not your old school systems guys, although there's a lot of that going on. We talked about this last time we've met, but there's new school of computer science folks coming on into the industry here. What are you seeing as the profile of the makeup of the kinds of computer science and or developers in the space? And is it more software? Is it more DevOps? What's your kind of view on that given your experience? The line between software development and operating systems in production absolutely is blurring. And especially at some of the very biggest companies in the world, DevOps is a legitimate profession now. You'll be a programmer who, by the way, carries a pager, makes the systems run. Not everywhere, but the fact that we are now building software that can be operated by the people who wrote it means that the feedback loop, what features are missing, what do we need to do to make this more manageable, is much, much tighter than before. Systems are getting better faster than they ever had. And it's a good thing because the scale of the problem and the importance of the data analysis, getting your hands, getting your head wrapped around that data is more important than ever before. But I think that feedback loop being so tight, the fact that we're able to work in the open source community, take advantage of the innovative work of the entire planet rather than of a single company, all very, very promising. So a real important question I want to ask you is, do you have a computer science degree? I have two. I got a bachelor's and a master's, Go Bears from the University of California. You can prove that. I can prove that. I have a computer science degree as well. So we just want to get that on the record, make sure that we got the computer science credentials mailed down unlike some other CEOs out there to live in Valley these days. Okay, and real final question about the operating system, which is really a good thread. So with this DevOps movement, with roles like HBase, we have real-time analytics, real operational encoding, is an opportunity for developers and entrepreneurs. We have operating systems, it's complicated, and there's need for abstraction layers. What do you see as areas, if you were going to do a startup or if you want to talk to the entrepreneurs out there, where are the areas to really innovate with some space to be creative and executing? Well, I will say as I have said now for pretty close to a year, building applications that digest, that analyze, that process big data is where the money's going to be for the next five, six years. If you've got a great idea about how to apply machine learning or natural language processing or statistical analyses or other analytical techniques to big data, you're right on this platform through these APIs using HBase and other systems and abstracting them for users. I think you'd be able to make a bunch of money. I absolutely think that data expertise is going to matter and there's this new discipline called data science. It's a blend of programming chops, computer science ability, some knowledge of mathematics and statistics, but also just a deep understanding of the business problems that confront your organization. That's a profession where I think we need great people and where there are some pretty great sellers. Let me on a final question here. I know you got to run, I really appreciate your time. Let's talk about Facebook. Obviously the big IPO, Mark Zuckerberg got married, was actually walking around the block and I saw all the things going on with my kids. You know, one additional accomplishment not many people know about just over the past week and they also went to IPv6. So that's four things that Mark did in a week that were pretty remarkable. I mean, he's hacking Silicon Valley, he's hacking Wall Street, he's hacking the network. But Facebook really is one of those companies. It's a watershed moment. My commentary is a lot like Netscape and since the browser was this watershed moment. But yet it's Google-like in the sense that they have a lot of Google employees. Facebook is here presenting their ops, dev, dev ops and or Hadoop and HBase philosophy with the community. So they're openly sharing that. But what is it about Facebook that people don't understand? Because a lot of people are talking about Facebook, like they don't have a revenue model and we've been saying on theCUBE at Silicon Angle that it really is a data business. Can you share your insight, just your personal perspective on the folks out there and East Coast, maybe New York and trying to cross Facebook's possibilities? Well, you know, one thing I'll say is you look at the S1 filings, in fact, 3.7 billion in revenues, they do have a revenue model. The question I think some investors have asked is, does that revenue justify the valuation they've gotten? That decision's going to be made by pros in the market. I'm not an expert on that stuff. I'll say, I love the company. I use it all the time. I am an avid consumer of social networking services. So I post my updates, I keep in touch with my kids. I let my friends know what's going on. I enjoy being on a Facebook site. But if you're at Facebook, I don't think you think of yourself as a social networking company. I think you think of yourself as a data analysis and data capture company. And listening to Karjik's keynote today, talking in detail about how much information flows through HBase, more than a billion messages a day, billions and billions of operations per day, 250 terabytes of new data a month. Building the infrastructure to make that happen, a remarkable accomplishment. Michael Olson, the CEO of Cloudera. Thanks for coming on theCUBE. Appreciate it. Great to see you. We'll be right back after this break.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZIg4xY4Q3w", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I mean and then you guess why and You can change the the thing to like making I know 100,000 sensors and then you understand okay It's just because of this this and this and we can actually solve the issue by just replacing this factory to like East Coast From West Coast and you can actually make it better and as soon as the data is like it's coming from multiple sources Thousands of millions of sensors you need to analyze it not with humans I mean if you ended like with a woman so reading the printouts From the sensors, it's like not held and that's why you need a machine learning What people name AI but the eye is like is probably for like science fiction cinema and All the rest guys they name it machine learning because they like truck like the tune computers to understand what the fuck is going on To be honest, I don't think it necessarily has I think you know blockchain is still in its somewhat infancy stages and AI for sure is AI still has a lot of room for growth and development And to be honest that you really have to quantify, you know, what is AI first of all? I mean, you know artificial intelligence isn't just necessarily robots going out and doing you know everyday tasks and it can be as simple as the You know Amazon Alexa or it can be as complicated as you know deep-length NLP in natural language processing Of you know news sites in Chinese. We have a company called China scope that I'm friends with the CEO Tom Yo and they do NLP there the first ones to do NLP in China to decipher You know, how can you actually as an at a machine learning deep learning level? How can you read Chinese characters because it's totally different from your English letters? So blockchain is one I guess element of AI, but to be honest, there's still we're still the very very very infancy status to be completely completely honest Yeah, so I probably I'd look at AI and blockchain from from two different angles, so the first one is that Web 2 has led to a series of kind of platform monopolies And because of the sheer data that Facebook or a Google or an Amazon have Or the kind of bats in in Asia They have Data monopoly and therefore they have an AI monopoly and so the current status quo of the world is that we're reliant upon Increasingly fewer organizations for more of our lives And that's only going to get that's only going to increase as we're moving into a world with more autonomous Autonomous vehicles or whatever it may be so That status quo is an existential threat You know if we end up and it's going to be very difficult for us to catch up or for startups or new entrants to catch up With with those AI monopolies now the promise of something like blockchain and distributed ledger technologies in combination with AI means that Firstly we can have a data commons, so we can have Self-sovereign ownership of our own personal data and we can choose how that's used what Organizations can use that data and for what purpose and then We can begin to look at how we can tokenize the ownership of the AI's potentially that derive value on top and so I kind of argue that We need decentralized AI. We need decentralized data markets If we are to kind of move away from this dystopic future that we're kind of currently on the trajectory of So it's kind of fortuitous that this is happening at this time And I always argue that I think if you if you understand all this stuff as web 3 The promise of web 3 is that we can go back to the original vision of web 1 Which was as a commons and internet commons that wasn't monopolized by a handful of global corporations, so so that's kind of The promise when you look at AI more generally and you think about job lot is and this kind of stuff Obviously, there's kind of different different ways of looking at it And it's difficult to say which way it's going to go the reality is that the characteristics of web 3 are Firstly decentralization the second one is automation high degrees of automation and leading to the point of autonomy And obviously DAOs and all that stuff are an example of how far that could go But but ultimately the way that I look at the potential for AI is really to augment What we do is people and so yes, there are going to be There are going to be some jobs that become obsolete and I think Perhaps if you look at the negative end of that scale the kind of whole gig economy has turned jobs into tasks Tasks are much easier to automate And so potentially we're seeing a shift where Jobs are turned to tasks tasks are automated and again one of the worrying trends with a gig economy is that The companies that employ these people well, they don't employ them, right? So they don't have pensions. They don't need pension contributions. They don't insure them So that's kind of a social economic time bomb if you think about large swaths of the population No longer having a safety net For jobs that are currently tasks that ultimately going to be automated if you look at uber Well, it's very clear that they and that their end state is to have driverless taxis So if you're an uber driver, you know, what's the shelf life of this new job that you've got where you've got no pension contributions so I think the these are the cut that that's the threat of the web 2 environment, but again I think that the potential and power for web 3 is that I think the Organizational form or structure that's going to happen with web 3 It's going to be something more akin to a cooperative model. So whereby We have very kind of fluid labor markets very fluid capital markets But people on an ad hoc or on a permanent basis can self-organize And they can lend to one another they can insure one another and they can mutualize assets And that could be mutualizing AI it can be mutualizing fleets of autonomous vehicles, so I think probably the only hope that we've got of Moving away from the trajectory or on of web 2 is coming back to this key point, which is decentralization mutualization of ownership tokenization of the value of that and then the fractionalization of it and the Fractionalization of its key because what that means is that? Anybody anywhere in the world can join this new economic paradigm with you know one penny one cent one euro They can become a stakeholder in it But I do think we now need We need to focus more on creating what I call the people layer in the web 3 stacks at the moment It's all very tech focused. How can we create? Coders law, how can we create totally autonomous organizations that aren't companies? I think we now need to make sure that we build in the people layer in this web 3 stack before it's too late	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZut-IbcoQk", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Alle LibriVox-Aufnahmen sind licenzfrei und in öffentlichem Besitz. Weitere Informationen und Hinweise zur Beteiligung an diesem Projekt gibt es bei LibriVox.org Aus meinem Leben, Dichtung und Wahrheit von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Zweiter Teil, Achtesbuch, Teil 2 Auf zweierlei Weise kann der Geist höchlich erfreut werden durch Anschauung und Begriff. Aber jenes erfordert einen würdigen Gegenstand, der nicht immer bereit und eine verhältnismäßige Bildung, zu der man nicht gerade gelangt ist. Der Begriff hingegen will nur Empfänglichkeit. Er bringt den Inhalt mit und ist selbst das Werkzeug der Bildung. Daher war uns jener Lichtstrahl höchst willkommen, den der vortrefflichste Denker durch düstere Wolken auf uns herab leitete. Man muss jungling sein, um sich zu vergegenwärtigen, welche Wirkung Lessings la Ocoron auf uns ausübte, indem dieses Werk uns aus der Region eines kümmalischen Anschauens in die freien Gefilde des Gedankens hinderes. Das solange missverstandene Utpictura poesis war auf einmal beseitigt. Der Unterschied der Bildenden und Redekünste klar, die Gipfel beider erschienen nun getrennt, wie nah ihre Basen auch zusammenstoßen mochten. Der bildende Künstler sollte sich innerhalb der Grenze des Schönen halten, wenn dem Redenden, der die Bedeutung jeder Art nicht entbeeren kann, auch darüber hinaus zu schweifen, vergönnt wäre. Jener arbeitet für den äußeren Sinn, der nur durch das Schöne befriedigt wird. Dieser für die Einbildungskraft, die sich wohl mit dem hässlichen noch abfinden mag. Wie vor einem Blitz erleuchteten, sich uns alle folgen, dieses herrlichen Gedankens, alle bisherige Anleitende und urteilende Kritik wart, wie ein abgetragener Rock weggeworfen. Wir hielten uns von allem Übel erlöst und glaubten, mit einigem Mitleid auf das sonst so herrliche 16. Jahrhundert herabblicken zu dürfen. Wo man in deutschen Bildwerken und Gedichten das Leben nur unter der Form eines Schellen behangenen Narren, den Tod unter der Unform eines klappenden Geröppes, sowie die notwendigen und zufälligen Übel der Welt unter dem Bilde des frazenhaften Teufels zu vergegenwärtigen Wüste. Am meisten entzückte uns die Schönheit jenes Gedankens, dass die Alten den Tod als den Bruder des Schlafs anerkannt und beide, wie es Menechmen geziemt, zum Verwechseln gleichgebildet. Hier konnten wir nun erst den Triumph des Schönen höchlich feiern und das hässliche jeder Art, da es doch einmal aus der Welt nicht zu vertreiben ist, im Reiche der Kunst nur in den niedrigen Kreis des lächerlichen Verweisen. Die Herrlichkeit solcher Haupt- und Grundbegriffe erscheint nur dem Gemüt, auf welches sie ihre unendliche Wirksamkeit ausüben, erscheint nur der Zeit, in welcher sie ersehnt, im rechten Augenblick hervortreten. Da beschäftigen sich die, welchen mit solcher Nahrung gedient ist, liebevoll ganze Epochen ihres Lebens damit und erfreuen sich eines überschwänglichen Wachstums, in dessen es nicht an Menschen fehlt, die sich auf der Stelle einer solchen Wirkung widersetzen und nicht an andern, die in der Folge an dem hohen Sinne markten und mäkeln. Wie sich aber Begriff und Anschauung wechselweise fordern, so konnte ich diese neuen Gedanken nicht lange verarbeiten, ohne dass ein unendliches Verlangen bei mir entstanden wäre, doch einmal bedeutende Kunstwerke in größerer Masse zu erblicken. Ich entschied mich daher, Dresden ohne Aufenthalt zu besuchen. An der nötigen Barschaft fehlte es mir nicht, aber es waren andere Schwierigkeiten zu überwinden, die ich durch mein gröllenhaftes Wesen noch ohne Not vermehrte, denn ich hielt meinen Vorsatz vor jedermann geheim, weil ich die dochtigen Kunstschätze ganz nach eigener Art zu betrachten wünschte und, wie ich meinte, mich von niemandem wollte irre machen lassen. Außer diesem ward durch noch eine andere Wunderlichkeit eine so einfache Sache verwickelter. Wir haben Angeborene und an erzogene Schwächen und es möchte noch die Frage sein, welche von beiden uns am meisten zu schaffen geben. Sogar nicht mich mit jeder Art von Zuständen bekannt machte und dazu manchen Anlass gegeben hatte, war mir doch von meinem Vater eine äußerste Abneigung gegen alle Gasthöfe eingeflöst worden. Auf seinen Reisen durch Italien, Frankreich und Deutschland hatte sich diese Gesinnung fest bei ihm eingewurzelt. Ob er gleich selten in Bildern sprach und dieselben nur, wenn er sehr heiter war, zu Hilfe rief, so pflegte er doch manchmal zu wiederholen. In dem Tore eines Gasthofs glaube er immer ein großes Spinnengewebe, ausgespannt zu sehen. So künstlich, dass die Insekten zwar hineinwärts, aber selbst die privilägierten Wespen nicht ungerupft herausfliegen könnten. Es schien ihm etwas Erschreckliches dafür, dass man seinen Gewohnheiten und allem, was einem lieb im Leben wäre, entsagte und nach der Weise des Wörts und der Kellner lebte, noch übermäßig bezahlen zu müssen. Er priß die Hospitalität alter Zeiten und so ungern er sonst auch etwas Ungewohntes im Hause durdete, so übte er doch Gastfreundschaft. Besonders an Künstlern und Fruchtuosen wie den Gefahrter Seekarts immer sein Quartier bei uns behielt und Abel, der letzte Musiker, welcher die Gambe mit Glück und Beifall behandelte, wohl aufgenommen und bewichtet wurde. Wie hätte ich mich nun mit solchen Jugend eindrücken, die bisher durch nichts ausgelöscht worden entschließen können, in einer fremden Stadt einen Gasthof zu betreten? Nichts wäre leichter gewesen, als bei guten Freunden ein Quartier zu finden. Hofrat Krebel, Assessor Hermann und andere hatten mir schon oft davon gesprochen. Allein auch diesen sollte mein Reise ein Geheimnis bleiben und ich gerede auf den Wunderlichsten Einfall. Mein Stubennachbar, der fleißige Theolog, dem seine Augen leider immer mehr ablegten, hatte einen verwandten Endresden, einen Schuster, mit dem er von Zeit zu Zeit Briefe wechselte. Dieser Mann war mir wegen seiner Äußerungen schon längst höchst merkwürdig geworden und die Ankunft eines seiner Briefe war von uns immer festlich gefeiert. Die Art, womit er die Klagen seines die Blindheit befürchtenden Fetters erwiderte, war ganz eigen, denn er bemühte sich nicht um Trostgründe, welche immer schwer zu finden sind, aber die heitere Art, womit er sein eigenes, enges, armes, mühseliges Leben betrachtete, der Schacht, den er selbst den üben und unbequemlichkeiten abgewann, die unverwüstliche Überzeugung, dass das Leben an und für sich ein Gut sei, teilte sich demjenigen mit, der den Brief las und versetzte ihn, wenigstens für Augenblicke, in eine gleiche Stimmung. Enthusiastisch, wie ich war, hatte ich diesen Mann öfters verbindlich grüßen lassen, seine glückliche Naturgabe gerühmt und den Wunsch, ihn kennenzulernen geäußert. Dieses alles vorausgesetzt, schien mir nichts natürlicher als ihn aufzusuchen, mich mit ihm zu unterhalten, ja bei ihm zu wohnen und ihn recht genau kennenzulernen. Mein guter Kandidat gab mir nach einigem Widerstreben einen mühsam geschriebenen Brief mit und ich fuhr meine Matrickel in der Tasche mit der gelben Kutsche sehnsuchtsvoll nach Dresden. Ich suchte nach meinem Schuster und fand ihn bald in der Vorstadt. Auf seinem Schemel, besitzend, empfing er mich freundlich und sagte lächelnd, nachdem er den Brief gelesen. Ich sehe hier raus, Junge Haar, dass ihr ein wunderlicher Christ seid. Wie das Meister versetzte ich. Wunderlich ist nicht übel gemeint, fuhr er fracht. Man nennt jemand so, der sich nicht gleich ist und ich nenne sie einen wunderlichen Christen, weil sie sich in einem Stück als den Nachfolger des Haarn bekennen, in dem anderen aber nicht. Auf meine Bitte, mich aufzuklären, sagte er weiter. Es scheint, dass ihrer Absicht ist, eine fröhliche Botschaft, den Armen und Niedrigen zu verkündigen. Das ist schön und diese Nachahmung des Haarn ist löblich. Sie sollten aber dabei bedenken, dass er lieber bei wohlhabenden und reichen Leuten zur Tische saß, wo es gut herging und dass er selbst den Wohlgeruch des Balsams nicht verschmähte, wovon sie wohl bei mir das Gegenteil finden könnten. Dieser lustige Anfang setzte mich gleich in guten Humor und wir neckten einander eine ziemliche Weile herum. Die Frau stand bedenklich, wie sie einen solchen Gast unterbringen und bewirchten solle. Auch hierüber hatte er sehr achtige Einfälle, die sich nicht allein auf die Bibel, sondern auch auf Gott Fritz Kronig bezogen und als wir einig waren, dass ich bleiben solle. So gab ich meinen Beutel, der wirchten zum Aufheben und ersuchte sie, wenn etwas nötig sei, sich daraus zu versehen. Da er es ablehnen wollte und mit einiger Schalkheit zu verstehen gab, dass er nicht so abgebrannt sei, als es aussehen möchte, so entwaffnete ich ihn dadurch, dass ich sagte. Und wenn es auch nur wäre, um das Wasser ein Wein zu verwandeln, so wurde wohl, da heutzutage keine Wunder mehr geschehen, ein solches probates Hausmittel nicht am unrechten Ochte sein. Die Wörthin schien, mein Reden und Handeln weniger seltsam zu finden. Wir hatten uns bald in einander geschickt und brachten einen sehr heiteren Abend zu. Er blieb sich immer gleich, weil alles aus einer Quelle floss. Sein Eigentum war ein tüchtiger Menschenverstand, der auf einem heiteren Gemüt rute und sich in der gleichmäßigen hergebrachten Tätigkeit gefiel. Dass er unablässig arbeitete, war sein erstes und notwendigstes. Dass er allesübrige als zufällig ansah, dies bewahrte sein Behagen. Und ich musste ihn vor vielen andern in die Klasse derjenigen rechnen, welche Praktik er hatte. Und ich wollte ihn vor vielen andern in die Klasse derjenigen rechnen, welche praktische Philosophen bewusstlose Weltweisen genannt wurden. Die Stunde, wo die Galerie eröffnet werden sollte, mit Ungeduld erwartet, erschien. Ich trat in dieses Heiligtum und meine Verwunderung überstieg auf, den ich mir gemacht hatte. Dieser in sich selbst wiederkehrende Saal, in welchem Pracht und Reinlichkeit bei der größten Stelle herrschten, die blendenden Rahmen alle der Zeit noch näher, in der sie verguldet wurden, der gebohnte Fußboden, die mehr von Schauenden, Betretenen als von Arbeitenden benutzten Räume gaben ein Gefühl von Feierlichkeit. Einzig in seiner Art, das umso mehr der Empfindung ähnelte, womit man ein Gotteshaus betritt, als der Schmuck so manches Tempels, der Gegenstand so mancher Anbetung, hier abermals, nur zu heiligen Kunstzwecken aufgestellt erschien. Ich ließ mir die kursorische Demonstration meines Führers gar wohl gefallen, nur erbat ich mir in der äußeren Galerie bleiben zu dürfen. Hier fand ich mich zu meinem Bahagen wirklich zu Hause. Schon hatte ich Werke mehrerer Künstler gesehen, andere kannte ich durch Kopfverstiche, andere dem Namen nach. Ich verheerte es nicht und flöste meinem Führer das Vertrauen ein. Ja, ihn ergätzte das Entzirken, das ich bei Stücken äußerte, wo der Pinsel über die Natur den Sieg davon trug. Denn solche Dinge waren es vorzüglich, die mich an sich zogen, wo die Vergleichung mit der bekannten Natur und der Art der Kunst notwendig erhöhen musste. Als ich bei meinem Schuster wieder eintrat, um das Mittagsmal zu genießen, traurte ich meinen Augen kaum, denn ich glaubte ein Bild von Ostade vor mir zu sehen, so vollkommen, so auf die Galerie hätte hängen dürfen. Stellung der Gegenstände, Licht, Schatten, bräunlicher Tat, magische Haltung, alles, was man in jenen Bildern bewundert, sah ich hier in der Wirklichkeit. Es war das erste Mal, dass ich auf einen so hohen Grad die Gabe gewahr wurde, die ich nachher mit mehrerem Bewusstsein übte, die Natur, nämlich mit den Augen dieses oder jenes Künstlers zu sehen, dessen Werken ich soeben eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet hatte. Diese Fähigkeit hat mir viel Genuss gewährt, die Erde vermehrt der Ausübung eines Talents, das mir die Natur versagt zu haben schien, von Zeit zu Zeit eifrig nachzuhängen. Ich besuchte die Galerie zu allen vergönten Stunden und vorfort mein Entzücken über manche köstliche Werke vorlaut auszusprechen. Ich vereitete dadurch meinen löblichen Vorsatz unbekannt und unbemerkt zu bleiben. Und da sich bisher nur ein Unteraufseher mit mir abgegeben hatte, nahm nun auch der Galerieinspektor Radriedl von mir notiz und machte mich auf gar manches aufmerksam, welches vorzüglich in meiner Sphäre zu liegen schien. Ich fand diesen trefflichen Mann damals ebenso tätig und gefällig, als ich ihn nachher mehrere Jahre hindurch gesehen und wie er sich noch heute erweist. Sein Bild hat sich mir mit jenen Kunstschätzen so in eins verwoben, dass ich beide niemals gesondert erblicke. Ja, sein Andenken hat mich nach Italien begleitet, wo mir seine Gegenwacht in manchen großen und reichen Sammlungen sehr wünschenswert gewesen wäre. Da man auch mit fremden und unbekannten solche Werke nicht stumm und ohne wechselseitige Teilnahme betrachten kann, ihr Anblick viel mehr am ersten geeignet ist, die Gemüter gegeneinander zu eröffnen, so kam ich auch da selbst mit einem jungen Mane ins Gespräch, der sich in Dresden aufzuhalten und einer Legation anzugehören schien. Er lud mich ein, abends in einen Gasthof zu kommen, wo sich eine muntere Gesellschaft versammle und wo man, indem jeder eine mäßige Zäche bezahle, einige ganz vergnügte Stunden zu bringen könne. Ich fand mich ein, ohne die Gesellschaft anzutreffen und der Kellner setzte mich einigermaßen in Verwunderung, als er mir von dem Hahn, der mich bestellt, ein Kompliment ausrichtete, wodurch dieser Entschuldigung, dass er etwas später kommen werde, an mich gelangen ließ. Mit dem Zusatz ich sollte mich an nichts stoßen, was vorgehe, auch werde ich nichts weiter als meine eigene Zäche zu bezahlen haben. Ich wusste nicht, was ich aus diesen Zeiten machen sollte, aber die Spinneweben meines Vaters fielen mir ein und ich fasste mich, um zu erwarten, was da kommen möchte. Die Gesellschaft versammelte sich, mein Bekannter stellte mich vor und ich durfte nicht lange aufmerken, so fand ich, dass es auf Mystifikation eines jungen Menschen hinausgehe, der als ein Neuling sich durch ein vorlautes, anmaßliches Wesen auszeichnete. Ich nahm mich daher gar sehr in Acht, dass man nicht etwa Lust finden möchte, mich zu seinem Gefährten auszusehen. Bei Tische wart jener Absicht jedermann deutlicher, nur nicht ihm. Man zächte immer stärker und als man zuletzt seiner Geliebten zu ehren, gleichfalls ein Wieward angestimmt, so schwur jeder Hoch- und Teuer aus diesen Gläsern nun weiter kein Trunk geschehen. Man warf sie hinter sich und dies war das Signal zu weit größeren Torheiten. Endlich entzog ich mich ganz sachte und der Kellner, indem er mir eine sehr billige Zäche abforderte, ersuchte mich wiederzukommen, da es nicht alle Abende so bunt hergehe. Ich hatte weit in mein Quachtier und es war nah an Mitternacht, als ich es erreichte. Die Türen fand ich unverschlossen, alles war zu betten und eine Lampe erleuchtete den eng häuslichen Zustand, denn mein immer mehr geübtes Auge sogleich das schönste Bild von Schalken erblickte, von dem ich mich nicht losmachen konnte, sodass es mir allen Schlaf vertrieb. Die wenigen Tage meines Aufenthalts in Dresden waren allein der Gemäldegalerie gewidmet. Die Antiken standen noch in den Pavillons des großen Gartens. Ich lehnte ab, sie zu sehen, sowie alles Übrige, was Dresden köstliches enthielt. Nur zu voll von der Überzeugung, dass in und an der Gemäldesammlung selbst mir noch vieles verborgen bleiben müsse. So nahm ich den Wert der italienischen Meister mehr auf Treu und Glauben an, als dass ich mir eine Einsicht in denselben hätte anmaßen können. Was ich nicht als Natur ansehen, an die Stelle der Natur setzen, mit einem bekannten Gegenstand vergleichen konnte, war auf mich nicht wirksam. Der materielle Eindruck ist es, der den Anfang selbst zu jeder höheren Liebhaberei macht. Mit meinem Schuster vertrug ich mich ganz gut. Er war geistreich und manigfaltig genug und wir überboten uns manchmal an neckischen Einfällen. Jedoch ein Mensch, der sich glücklich preist und von anderen verlangt, dass sie das Gleiche tun sollen, versetzt uns in ein Missbehagen. Ja, die Wiederholung solcher Gesinnungen macht uns langeweile. Ich fand mich wohl beschäftigt und erhalten aufgeregt, aber keineswegs glücklich. Und die Schuhe nach seinem Leisten wollten mir nicht passen. Wir schieden jedoch als die besten Freunde und auch meine Wörtin war beim Abschiede nicht unzufrieden mit mir. Und wir dann auch noch kurz vor meiner Abreise etwas sehr Angenehmes begegnen. Durch die Vermittlung jenes jungen Mannes, der sich wieder bei mir in einigen Kredit zu setzen wünschte, warte ich dem Direktor von Hagedorn vorgestellt. Der mir seine Sammlung von großer Güte vorwies und sich an dem Enthusiasmus des jungen Kunstfreundes höchlich ergätzte. Er war, wie es einem Kenner geziehmt, in die Bilder, die er besaß, ganz eigentlich verliebt und fand daher selten an anderen eine Teilnahme, wie er sie wünschte. Besonders machte es ihm Freude, dass mir ein Bild von Swahnewelt ganz übermäßig gefiel, dass ich dasselbe in jedem einzelnen Teile zu preisen und zu erheben nicht müde war. Denn gerade Landschaften, heiteren Himmel, unter welchem ich herangewachsen, wieder erinnerten, die Pflanzenfülle jener Gegenden und was sonst für Gunst ein warmeres Klima den Menschen gewährt, rührten mich in der Nachbildung am meisten, indem sie eine sehnsüchtige Erinnerung in mir aufregten.

Weitere Informationen und Hinweise zur Beteiligung an diesem Projekt gibt es bei LibriVox.org aus meinem Leben. Dichtung und Wahrheit von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. 2.Teil 8.Buch Teil 3 Diese köstlichen Geist und Sinn zur wahren Kunst vorbereitenden Erfahrungen wurden jedoch durch einen der traurigsten Anblicke unterbrochen und gedämpft. Durch den zerstörten und verödeten Zustand, so mancher Straße Dresdons, durch die ich meinen Weg nahm. Die Morrenstraße im Schutt, sowie die Kreuzkirche mit ihrem geborstenen Turm drückten sich mir tief ein und stehe noch wie ein dunkler Fleck in meiner Einbildungskraft. Von der Kuppel der Frauenkirche sah ich diese leidigen Trummer zwischen die schöne städtische Ordnung hineingesät. Darumte mir der Küster die Kunst des Baumeisters welcher Kirche und Kuppel auf einen so unerwünschten Fall schon eingerichtet und bombenfest erbaut hatte. Der gute Sakristan deutete mir als dann zu ihnen nach allen Seiten und sagte bedenklich, lakonisch, das hat der Feind getan. So kehrte ich nun zuletzt, obgleich ungern, nach Leipzig zurück und fand meine Freunde, die solcher Abschweifungen von mir nicht gewohnt waren in großer Verwunderung, beschäftigt mit allerlei Konjekturen, was meine geheimnisvolle Reise wohl habe bedeuten sollen. Wenn ich ihnen darauf meine Geschichte ganz ordentlich erzählte, erklärten sie mir solche für ein Märchen und suchten scharfsinnig hinter das Rätsel zu kommen, dass sie in den verhüllen Mutwillig genug sei. Hätten sie mir aber ins Herz sehen können, so würden sie keinen Mutwillen darin entdeckt haben, denn die Wahrheit jenes alten Worts Zuwachs an Kenntnis ist Zuwachs an Unruhe, hatte mich mit ganzer Gewalt getroffen und je mehr ich mich anstrengte, dasjenige, was ich gesehen, zuordnen und mir zuzueignen, je weniger gelang es mir. Ich musste mir zuletzt ein stilles Nachwirken gefallen lassen. Das gewöhnliche Leben ergriff mich wieder und ich fühlte mich zuletzt ganz behaglich, schaftlicher Umgang, Zunahme an Kenntnissen, die mir gemäß waren und eine gewisse Übung der Hand mich auf eine weniger bedeutende, aber meinen Kräften mehr proportionierte Weise beschäftigten. Eine sehr angenehme und für mich heilsame Verbindung, war die mit dem Breitkopfischen Hause. Barnard Christoph Breitkopf, der eigentliche Stifter der Familie, der als ein armer Buchdruckergesell nach Leipzig gekommen war, lebte noch und bewohnte den goldenen Bären, ein ansehnliches Gebäude und ein Neumarkt mit Gottschät als Hausgenossen. Der Sohn Johann Gottlob Immanuel war auch schon längst verheiratet und Vater mehrerer Kinder. Einen Teil ihres ansehnlichen Vermögens glaubten sie nicht besser anwenden zu können, als indem sie ein großes neues Haus zum silbernen Bären, dem ersten gegenübererrichteten, welches höher und weitläuftiger als das Stammhaus selbst angelegt war. Gerade zu der Zeit des Bauers war ich mit der Familie bekannt. Der älteste Sohn mochte einige Jahre mehr haben als ich. Ein wohlgestalteter junger Mann der Musik ergeben und geübt, sowohl den Flügel als die Violine fertig zu wandeln. Der zweite eine treue gute Seele, gleichfalls musikalisch, belebte nicht weniger als der älteste die Konzerte, die öfters veranstaltet wurden. Sie waren mir beide, sowie auch Eltern und Schwestern gewogen. Ich ging ihnen beim Auf- und Ausbau beim Möblieren und Einziehen zur Hand und begreff dadurch manches, was sich auf ein solches Geschäft bezieht. Auch hatte ich Gelegenheit, die öserischen Lehren angewendet zu sehen. In dem neuen Hause, das ich also entstehen sah, war ich oft zum Besuch. Wir trieben manches gemeinschaftlich und der älteste komponierte einige meiner Lieder, die gedruckt, seinen Namen, aber nicht den meinigen Führten worden sind. Ich habe die besseren ausgezogen und zwischen meine übrigen kleinen Poesien eingeschaltet. Der Vater hatte den Notendruck erfunden oder vervollkommnet. Von einer schönen Bibliothek, die sich meistens auf den Ursprung der Buchdruckerei und ihr Wachstum erlaubte er mir den Gebrauch, wodurch ich mir in diesem Fache einige Kenntnis erwarb. Ingleichen fand ich da selbst gute Kupferwaage, die das Altatum darstellten und setzte meine Studien auch von dieser Seite fort, welche dadurch noch mehr gefördert wurden, als die ansehnliche Schwefelsammlung beim Umziehen in Unordnung geraten war. Ich brachte sie, so gut ich konnte, wieder zur Rechte und war genötigt, dabei mich im Lipport und anderen umzusehen. Einen Arzt, Dr. Reichel, gleichfalls einen Hausgenossen, sortierte ich von Zeit zu Zeit, da ich mich, wo nicht krank, doch unmustern führte und so führten wir zusammen ein stilles, anmutiges Leben. Nun sollte ich in diesem Hause noch eine andere Art von Verbindung eingehen. Es zog nämlich in die Mansade der Kupferstecherstock. Er war aus Nürnberg gebürtig, ein sehr fleißiger und in seinen Arbeiten genauer und ordentlicher Mann. Auch er stach wie Geiser nach öserischen Zeichnungen größere und kleinere Platten, die zu Romanen und Gedichten schwung kamen. Er radierte sehr sauber, sodass die Arbeit aus dem Etzwasser beinahe vollendet herauskam und mit dem Grabstichel, den er sehr gut führte, nur wenig nachzuhelfen blieb. Er machte einen genauen Überschlag, wie lange ihn eine Platte beschäftigen würde und nichts wahrvermögend ihn von seiner Arbeit abzurufen, wenn er nicht sein täglich vorgesetztes Pensum verbracht hatte. So saß er an einem breiten Arbeitstich am großen Giebelfenster in einer sehr ordentlichen und reinlichen Stube, wo ihm Frau und Zweitechter von der ökologischen Gesellschaft leisteten. Von diesen Letzten ist die eine glücklich verheiratet und die andere eine vorzügliche Künstlerin. Sie sind lebenslänglich, meine Freundinnen geblieben. Ich teilte nun meine Zeit zwischen den Oberen und Unteren Stockwerken sehr an den Mann, der bei seinem anhaltenden Fleiße einen herrlichen Humor besaß und die Gutmütigkeit selbst war. Mich reizte die reinliche Technik dieser Kunstart und ich geselte mich zu ihm, um auch etwas dergleichen zu verfachtigen. Ich hatte sich wieder auf die Landschaft gelenkt, die mir bei einsamen Spaziergängen unterhalten. An sich erreichbar und in den Kunstwerken fasslicher erschien, als die menschliche Figur, die mich abschreckte. Ich radierte daher unter seiner Anleitung verschiedene Landschaften und anderen, die obgleich von einer ungeübten Hand verfertigt, doch einigen Effekt machten und gut aufgenommen wurden. Das Grundieren der Platten, das Weißanstreichen derselben, das Radieren selbst und zuletzt das Äzzen gab manigfaltige Beschäftigung. Und ich war bald dahin gelangt, dass ich meinem Meister in manchen Dingen beistehen konnte. Mir fehlte nicht die beim Äzzen nötige Aufmerksamkeit und selten, dass mir etwas misslang. Aber ich hatte nicht vorsicht genug mich gegen die schädlichen Dünste zu verwahren, die sich bei solcher Gelegenheit zu entwickeln pflegen. Und sie mögen wohl zu den übeln beigetragen haben, die mich nachher eine Zeit lang quälten. Zwischen solchen Arbeiten wurde auch manchmal, damit ja alles versucht wurde, in Holz geschnitten. Ich verpflichtete verschiedene kleine Druckerstöcke nach französischen Mustern und manches davon wart brauchbar gefunden. Man lasse mich hier noch einiger Männer gedenken, welche sich in Leipzig aufhielten oder da selbst auf kurze Zeit verwalten. Kreis steuereinnehmerweise seinen besten Jahren heiter, freundlich und zuvorkommend wart von uns geliebt und geschätzt. Zwar wollten wir seine Theaterstücke nicht durchaus für musterhaft gelten lassen, ließen uns aber doch davon hinreißen und seine Opern durch Hillern auf eine leichte Leise belebt, machten uns viel Vergnügen. Schiebler von Hamburg betrat dieselbe Bahn und dessen Lisouard und Dariolet wart von uns gleichfalls begünstigt. Eschenburg, ein schöner junger Mann, nur um weniges älter als wir, zeichnete sich unter den studierenden Rett aus. Zacherie ließ sich einige Wochen bei uns gefallen und speiste durch seinen Bruder eingeleitet mit uns an einem Tische. Wir schätzten es, wie billig für eine Ehre wechselzweise durch ein paar außerordentliche Gerichte reichlicheren und ausgesuchteren Wein unserem Gast zuwillfahren, der als ein großer, wohl gestalteter, behaglicher Mann seine Neigung zu einer guten Tafel nicht verhehlte. Lessing traf zu einer Zeit ein, wo wir, ich weiß nicht was, im Kopf hatten. Es beliebte uns ihm nirgends zu gefallen zu gehen, ja die Ochte, wo er hin kam zu vermeiden. Wahrscheinlich weil wir uns zu gut düngten von Ferne zu stehen und keinen Anspruch machen konnten, in ein näheres Verhältnis mit ihm zu gelangen. Diese augenblickliche Albarnheit, die aber bei einer anmaßlichen und krallenhaften Jugend nichts Seltenes ist, bestrafte sich freilich in der Folge, indem ich diesen so vorzüglichen und von mir aufs höchste geschätzten Mann niemals mit Augen gesehen. Bei allen Bemühungen jedoch, um uns und Altatum bezogen, hatte jeder stets Winkelmann vor Augen, dessen Tüchtigkeit im Vaterlande mit Enthusiasmus anerkannt wurde. Wir lasen fleißig seine Schriften und suchten uns die Umstände bekannt zu machen, unter welchen er die Ersten geschrieben hatte. Wir fanden darin manche Ansichten, die sich von Ösern her zu schreiben schienen, ja sogar Scherz und Kröllen nach seiner Art und ließen nicht nach, bis wir uns einen ungefähren Begriff von der Gelegenheit gemacht hatten, bei welcher diese merkwürdigen und doch mit unter so rätselhaften Schriften entstanden waren. Ob wir es gleich dabei nicht sehr genau nahmen, denn die Jugend will lieber angeregt als unterrichtet sein und es war nicht das letzte Mal, dass ich eine bedeutende Bildungsstufe civilinischen Blättern verdanken sollte. Es war damals in der Literatur eine schöne Zeit, wo vorzüglichen Menschen noch mit Achtung begegnet wurde. Obgleich die klotzischen Händel und Lessings, Kontroversen schon darauf hindeuteten, dass diese Epoche sich bald schließen werde. Denken man genoss einer solchen allgemeinen unangetasteten Verehrung, und man weiß, wie empfindlich er war gegen irgendetwas Öffentliches, das seiner Wohl geführten wurde, nicht gemäß schien. Alle Zeitschriften stimmten zu seinem Ruhme überein. Der Reisenden kamen belehrt und entzückt von ihm zurück und die neuen Ansichten, die er gab, verbreiteten sich über Wissenschaft und Leben. Der Forst von Dessau hatte sich zu einer gleichen Achtung emporgeschwungen. Jung, wohl und edeldenkend Wiesen und sonst recht wünschenswert erwiesen. Winckelmann war im höchsten Grade von ihm entzückt und belegte ihn, wo er seiner gedachte mit den schönsten Beinahmen. Die Anlage eines damals einzigen Parks, der Geschmack zur Baukunst welchen von Erdmannsdorf durch seine Tätigkeit unterstützte, alles Sprachzugunsten eines Forsten, der, indem er durch sein Beispiel den übrigen Vorleuchtete Dienern und Untertanen ein goldenes Zeitalter versprach. Nun vernahmen wir jungen Leute mit Jubel, dass Winckelmann aus Italien zurückkehren, seinen forstlichen Freund besuchen, unterwegs bei Ösern eintreten und also auch in unseren Gesichtskreis kommen würde. Wir machten keinen Anspruch mit ihm zu reden, aber wir hofften ihn zu sehen und weil man in solchen Jahren einen jeden Anlass gern in eine Lustpachtie verwandelt, so hatten wir schon Rött und Fahrt nach Dessau verabredet, wo wir in einer schönen durch Kunst verhaaligten Gegend in einem wohl administrierten und zu gleich äußerlich geschmückten Lande bald da, bald dort aufzupassen dachten, um die über uns soweit erhabenen Männer mit eigenen Augen um herwandeln zu sehen. Öser war selbst ganz exaltiert, wenn er daran nur dachte und wie ein Donnerschlag bei klarem Himmel fiel die Nachricht von Winckelmanns Tode zwischen uns nieder. Ich erinnere mich noch der Stelle, wo ich sie zuerst vernahm. Es war in dem Hofe der Pleißenburg nicht weit von der kleinen Fachte, durch die man zu öser hinauf zu steigen pflegte. Es kam mir ein Mitschüler entgegen, sagte mir, dass öser nicht und die Ursache warum. Dieser ungeheure Vorfall tat eine ungeheure Wirkung. Es war ein allgemeines Jammern und Weglagen und sein frühzeitiger Tod schaffte die Aufmerksamkeit auf den Wert seines Lebens. Ja, vielleicht wäre die Wirkung seiner Tätigkeit, wenn er sie auch bis in ein höheres Alter fachtgesetzt hätte, nicht so groß gewesen, als sie jetzt werden musste, da er, wie mehrere außerordentliche Menschen, auch noch durch ein seltsames und wiederwärtiges Ende vom Schicksal ausgezeichnet worden. Indem ich nun aber Winkelmannsabscheiden grenzenlos beklagte, so dachte ich nicht, dass ich mich bald in dem Falle befinden wurde, für mein eigenes Leben besorgt zu sein. Denn unter allem diesen hatten meine körperlichen Zustände nicht die beste Wendung genommen. Von Hause hatte ich einen gewissen hypochondrischen Zug mitgebracht, der sich in dem neuen, sitzenden und schleichenden Leben eher verstärkte als verschwächte. Der Schmerz auf der Brust, den ich seit dem Auerstädterunfall von Zeit zu Zeit empfand und der nach einem Sturz mit dem Pferde merklich gewachsen war, machte mich missmutig. Durch eine unglückliche Diät verdarb ich mir die Kräfte der Verdauung. Das schwere Maseburger Bier verdüsterte mein Gehirn. Der Kaffee, der mir eine ganz eigene tröste Stimmung gab, besonders mit Milch, nach Tische, Genossen, paralysierte meine Eingeweide und schien ihre Funktionen völlig aufzuheben, sodass ich deshalb große Beängstigungen empfand, ohne jedoch den Entschluss zu einer vernünftigeren Lebensart fassen zu können. Meine Natur, von hin zu der Kräften der Jugend unterstützt, schwankte zwischen den Extremen von ausgelassener Lustigkeit und melancholischem Unbehagel. Ferner war damals die Epoche des Kaltbadens eingetreten, welches unbedingt empfohlen war. Man sollte auf hartem Lager schlafen, nur leicht zugedeckt, wodurch denn alle gewohnte Ausdünstung unterdrückt wurde. Diese und andere Torheiten in Gefolge von missverstandenen Anregungen Russos wurden uns, wie man versprach, der Natur näher führen und uns aus dem Verdabnisse der Sitten retten. Ohne Unterscheidung mit unvernünftigem Wechsel angewendet empfanden mehrere als das Schädliste. Und ich verhetzte meinen glücklichen Organismus dergestalt, dass die darin enthaltenen besonderen Systeme zuletzt in eine Verschwörung und Revolution ausbrechen mussten, um das Ganze zu retten. Eines Nachts wachte ich mit einem heftigen Blutsturz auf und hatte noch so viel Kraft und Besinnung, meinen Stuben nachbar zu wecken. Dr. Reichel wurde gerufen, der mir aufs Freundliste hilfreich war und so schwankte ich mehrere Tage zwischen Leben und Tod. Und selbst die Freude an einer erfolgenden Besserung wurde dadurch vergelt, dass sich bei jener Erruption zugleich eingeschwurzt an der linken Seite des Halses gebildet hatte, den man jetzt erst nach vorübergegangener Gefahr zu bemerken Zeit fand. Genesung ist jedoch immer angenehm und erfreudig, wenn sie auch langsam und kümmerlich von Statten geht. Und da bei mir sich die Natur geholfen, so schien ich auch nunmehr ein anderer Mensch geworden zu sein. Denn ich hatte eine größere Heiterkeit als ich mir lange nicht gekannt hatte. Ich war froh, mein Inneres frei zu fühlen, wenn mich gleich äußerlich ein langwieriges Leiden bedrohte. Was mich aber in dieser Zeit besonders aufrichtete, war zu sehen, wieviel vorzügliche Männer mir unverdient ihre Neigung zugewendet hatten. Unverdient sage ich, denn es war keiner darunter, dem ich nicht durch widerliche Laune beschwerlich gewesen wäre. Keiner, den ich nicht durch krankhaften Widersinn mehr als einmal verletzt. Ja, den ich nicht für meines eigenen Unrechts eine Zeit lang störig gemieden hätte. Dies alles war vergessen. Sie behandelten mich aufs Liebreiste und suchten mich teils auf meinem Zimmer, teils sobald ich es verlassen konnte zu unterhalten und zu zerstreuen. Sie fuhren mit mir aus, bewirchten mich auf ihren Landhäusern und ich schien mich bald zu erholen. Unter diesen Freunden nenne ich wo zu vorderst den damaligen Ratsahn nachherigen Burgemeister von Leipzig, Dr. Hermann. Er war unter denen Tischgenossen, die ich durch Schlosser kennenlernte, derjenige, zu dem sich ein immergleiches und dauerndes Verhältnis bewährte. Man konnte ihn wohl zu den fleißigsten der akademischen Mitburger rechnen. Er besuchte seine Kolleginnen auf das regelmäßigste und sein privat fleiß blieb sich immergleich. Schritt vor Schritt ohne die mindeste Abweichung sah ich ihn den Dr. Grad erreichen. Dann sich zur Assessur emporheben ohne dass ihm hierbei etwas mühsam geschehen, dass er im Mindesten etwas übereilt oder verspätet hätte. Die Sanftheit seines Charakters zog mich an. Seine lehrreiche Unterhaltung hielt mich fest. Ja, ich glaube wirklich, dass ich mich an seinem geregelten Fleiß vorzüglich deswegen erfreute, weil ich mir von einem Verdienst dessen ich mich keineswegs rühmen konnte durch Anerkennung und Hochschätzung wenigstens einen Teil zuzueignen meinte.

Ebenso regelmäßig, als in seinen Geschäften war er in Ausübung seiner Talente und im Genuss seiner Vergnügungen. Er spielte den Flügel mit großer Fertigkeit, zeichnete mit Gefühl nach der Natur und regte mich an, das Gleiche zu tun. Da ich denn in seiner Art auf Graupapier mit schwarzer und weißer Kreide gar manches weidigt der Pleise und manchen lieblichen Winkel dieser stillen Wasser nachzubilden und dabei immer sehnsüchtig meinen Grillen nachzuhängen pflegte. Er wusste mein mitunter komisches Wesen durch heitere Scherze zu erwidern und ich erinnere mich mancher vergnügten Stunde die wir zusammenzubrachten, wenn er mich mit scherzhafter Feierlichkeit zu einem Abendessen unter vier Augen einlut, wo wir mit eigenem Anstand bei angezündeten Wachslichtern einen sogenannten Ratshasen, der ihm als Deputat seiner Stelle in die Küche gelaufen war, verzehrten und mit gar manchen Späßen in bärischens Manier das Essen zu würzen und den Geist des Weines zu erhöhen beliebten. Dass dieser treffliche und noch jetzt in seinem ansehnlichen Amte immer fort wirksame Mann mir bei meinem zwar geahndeten, aber in seiner ganzen Größe nicht vorausgesehenen Übel den treulisten Beistand leistete, mir jede freie Stunde schenkte und durch Erinnerung an frühere Heitigkeiten den trüben Augenblick zu erhellen wusste, erkenne ich noch immer mit dem aufrichtigsten Dank und freue mich, nach so langer Zeit ihn öffentlich abstatten zu können. Außer diesem Wertenfreunde nahm sich Gröning von Bremen besonders meiner an. Ich hatte erst kurz vorher seine Bekanntschaft gemacht und sein Wohlwollen gegen mich wart ich erst bei dem Unfalle gewahr. Ich führte den Wert dieser Gunst um so lebhafter als niemand leicht eine nähere Verbindung mit leidenden Sucht. Er sparten nichts, um mich zu ergätzen mich aus dem Nachsinnen über meinen Zustand herauszuziehen und mir Genesung und Gesundetätigkeit in der nächsten Zeit vorzuzeigen und zu versprechen. Hier war es auch, wo Freund Horne seine Liebe und Aufmerksamkeit und Unterbrochen wirken ließ. Das ganze Breitkopfische Haus die Strömung von Bruce, die stockische Familie, manche andere behandelten mich als einen nahen Verwandten und so wurde mir durch das Wohlwollen so vieler freundlicher Menschen das Gefühl meines Zustandes auf das zarteste Gelindert. Umständlicher muss ich jedoch hier eines Mannes erwähnen den ich erst in dieser Zeit kennenlernte und dessen lehrreicher Umgang mich über die traurige Lage in der ich mich befand der Gestalt verblendete, dass ich sie wirklich vergaß. Es war langer nachheriger Bibliotika in Wolfenbüttel. Vorzüglich gelehrt und unterrichtet freute er sich an meinem Heißhunger nach Kenntnissen der sich nun bei der krankhaften Reizbarkeit völlig fieberhaft ausserte. Er suchte mich durch deutliche Übersichten zu beruhigen und ich bin seinem, obwohl kurzen Umgang sehr viel schuldig geworden, indem er mich auf mancherlei Weise zu leiten verstand und mich aufmerksam machte, wohin ich mich gerade gegenwärtig zu richten hätte. Ich fand mich diesem bedeutenden Manne umso mehr verpflichtet als mein Umgang in einiger Gefahr aussetzte, denn als er nach bärischen die Hofmeisterstelle bei dem jungen Grafen Lindenau erhielt, machte der Vater dem neuen Mentor ausdrücklich zur Bedingung, keinen Umgang mit mir zu pflegen. Neugierig ein so gefährliches Subjekt kennenzulernen, musste er mich mehrmals am dritten Nacht zu sehen. Ich gewann bald seine Neigung und er, kluge als bärisch, holte mich bei nachts Zeit ab. Wir gingen zusammenspazieren und da hielten uns von interessanten Dingen und ich begleitete ihn endlich bis an die Türe seiner Geliebten, denn auch dieser streng scheinende, ernste, wissenschaftliche Mann war nicht frei von den Netzen eines sehr liebenswürdigen Frauenzimmers geblieben. Die deutsche Literatur und mit ihr meine eigenen poetischen Unternehmungen waren mir schon seit einiger Zeit fremd geworden und ich wendete mich wieder, wie es bei einem solchen autodidaktischen Kreiskange zu erfolgen pflegt, gegen die geliebten Alten, die noch immer, wie Ferne, Blaue Berge, deutlich in ihren Umrissen und Massen, aber unkenntlich in ihren Teilen den Horizont meiner geistigen Wünsche begrenzten. Ich machte einen Tausch mit Langer, wobei ich zugleich den Glaucos und Diomedes spielte. Ich überließ ihm ganze Karbe deutscher Dichter und Kritiker und erhielt dagegen eine Ansage riechischer Autoren, deren Benutzung mich selbst bei dem langsamsten Genesen erquicken sollte. Das Vertrauen welches neue Freunde sich einander schenken pflegt, sich stufenweise zu entwickeln. Gemeinsame Beschäftigungen und Liebhabereien sind das erste, worin sich eine wechselseitige Übereinstimmung hervor tut. Sodann pflegt die Mitteilung sich über vergangene und gegenwärtige Leidenschaften, besonders über Liebesabenteuer zu erstrecken. Es ist aber noch ein tieferes, das sich aufschließt, wenn das Verhältnis sich vollenden will. Es sind josen Gesinnungen, die Angelegenheiten des Herzens, die auf das unvergängliche Bezug haben und welche sowohl den Grund einer Freundschaft befestigen als ihren Gipfel zieren. Die christliche Religion schwankte zwischen ihrem eigenen historisch-positiven und einem reinen Deismus, der auf Sittlichkeit gegründet, wiederum die Moral begründen sollte. Die Verschiedenheit der Charaktere und Denkweisen zeigte sich hier in unendlichen Abstufungen, besonders da noch ein Hauptunterschied mit Einwirkte, in dem die Frage entstand, wie viel Anteil die Vernunft, wie viel die Empfindung an solchen Überzeugungen haben könne und durfe. Die lebhaftesten und geistreisten Männer erwiesen sich in diesem Falle als Schmetterlinge, welche ganz uneingedenk ihres Raupenstandes die Puppenhülle wegwarfen, in der sie zu ihrer organischen Vollkommenheit gedient sind. Andere treuer und bescheidner sind, konnte man den Blumen vergleichen, die, ob sie sich gleich zur schönsten Blüte entfalten, sich doch von der Wuchtzel, von dem Motorstammel nicht losreißen, ja viel mehr durch diesen Familien Zusammenhang die gewünschte Frucht erst zur Reife bringen. Von dieser letzteren Art war langer, denn obgleich gelehrter und vorzüglicher Bücherkenner, so mochte er doch der Bibel vor anderen überlieferten Schriften einen besonderen Vorzug gönnen und sie als ein Dokument ansehen, woraus wir allein unseren siddlichen und geistigen Stammbaum da tun könnten. Er gehörte unter diejenigen, denen ein unmittelbares Verhältnis zu dem großen Weltgott nicht in den Sinn will. Ihm war daher eine Vermittelung notwendig, deren Analogon er überall in irdischen und himmlischen Dingen zu finden glaubte. Sein Vortrag, angenehm und konsequent, fand bei einem jungen Menschen leicht gehör, der durch eine verdrissliche Krankheit von irdischen Dingen abgesondert, die Lebhaftigkeit seines Geistes in die himmlischen Zwenden höchst erwünscht fand. Bibelfest, wie ich war, kam es bloß auf den Glauben an, das, was ich menschlicherweise seither geschätzt, nun mehr für göttlich zu erklären, welches mir umso leichter fiel, da ich die erste Bekanntschaft mit diesem Buch als einem göttlichen gemacht hatte. Einem dödenden, zart, ja schwächlich fühlenden war daher das Evangelium Willkommen. Und wenn auch langer bei seinem Glauben zugleich ein sehr verständiger Mann war und fest darauf hielt, dass man die Empfindung nicht solle vorharschen, nicht zur Schwarmerei, solle verleiten lassen, so hätte ich doch nicht recht gewusst, mich ohne Gefühl und Enthusiasmus mit dem neuen Testament zu beschäftigen. Mit solchen Unterhaltungen verbrachten wir manche Zeit und er gewann mich als einen Getreuen und wohlvorbereiteten große Lüten der Gestalt lieb, dass er manche seiner schönen zugedachte Stunde mir aufzuopfern nicht anstand, ja sogar Gefahr lief, verraten und, wie bär ich, von seinem Patronübel angesehen zu werden. Ich erwiderte seine Neigung auf das Dankbarste. Wenn dasjenige, was er für mich tat, zu jeder Zeit wäre schätzenswert gewesen, so musste es mir in meiner gegenwärtigen Lage höchst verehrlich sein. Da nun aber gewöhnlich, wenn unser Seelenkonzent am geistigsten gestimmt ist, die rohen, keichenden Töne des Weltwesens am gewaltigsten und ungestümmsten Einfallen und der in geheim immer fortwaltende Kontrast auf einmal hervortretend nur desto empfindlicher wirkt, so sollte ich auch nicht aus der peripatetischen Schule meines Langers entlassen werden, ohne vorher noch ein für Leipzig wenigstens seltsames Ereignis erlebt zu haben. Einen Tumult nämlich, den die Studierenden erregten und zwar aus folgendem Anlasse. Mit den Stadtsoldaten hatten sich junge Leute vereinigt. Es war nicht ohne Tätlichkeiten abgelaufen. Mehrere Studierende verbanden sich, die zugefügten Beleidigungen zu reschen. Die Soldaten widerstanden hartnäckig und der Vorteil war nicht auf der Seite der sehr unzufriedenen akademischen Bürger. Man war erzählt, es hätten angesehene Personen wegen tapferen Widerstands die ob Siegenden gelobt und belohnt. Und hier durch war nun das jugendliche Ehr- und Rachgefühl mächtig aufgefordert. Man erzählte sich öffentlich, dass den nächsten Abend gehorfen werden sollten und einige Freunde, welche mir die Nachricht brachten, dass es wirklich geschehe, mussten mich hinführen, da Jugend und Menge wohl immer durch Gefahr und Tumult angezogen wird. Es begann wirklich ein seltsames Schauspiel. Die übrigens freie Straße war an der einen Seite von Menschen besetzt, welche ganz ruhig ohne Larm und Bewegung abwachteten, was geschehen solle. Auf der leeren Bahn gingen etwa eindutzend junge Leute einzeln hin und wieder in anscheinender größter Gelassenheit. Sobald sie aber gegen das Bezeichnete Haus kamen, so warfen sie im Vorbeigehen Steine nach den Fenstern und dies zu wiederholten Malen hin und wiederkehrend, solange die Scheiben noch klären wollten. Ebenso ruhig, wie dieses vorging, verlief sich auch endlich alles und die Sache hatte keine weiteren Folgen. Mit einem so gelenden Nachklange akademischer Großtaten fuhr ich im September 1768 von Leipzig ab in dem bequemen Wagen eines Hodoros und in Gesellschaft einiger mir bekannten zuverlässigen Personen. In der Gegend von Auerstedt gedachte ich jenes früheren Unfallz, aber ich konnte nicht ahnden, was viele Jahre nachher mich von dort her mit größerer Gefahr bedrohen wurde. Ebenso wenig als in Grota, wo wir uns das Schloss zeigen ließen, ich in dem großen mit Stuckaturbildern verzierten Saale denken durfte, dass mir an eben der Stelle so viel Gnädiges und Liebes widerfahren sollte. Je mehr ich mich nun meiner Vaterstadt näherte, desto mehr rief ich mir bedenklicherweise zurück, in welchen Zuständen, Aussichten, Hoffnungen ich von Hause weggegangen und es war ein sehr niederschlagendes Gefühl, dass ich nun mehr gleichsam als ein Schiff bruschiger zurückkehrte. Da ich mir jedoch nicht sonderlich viel vorzuwerfen hatte, ziemlich zu beruhigen, in dessen war der Willkommen nicht ohne Bewegung. Die große Lebhaftigkeit meiner Natur durch Krankheit gereizt und erhöht verursachte eine leidenschaftliche Szene. Ich mochte übler aussehen, als ich selbst wusste, keinen Spiegel zur Rat gezogen und wer wird sich denn nicht selbst gewohnt? Genug, man kam stillschweigend überein, mancherlei Mitteilungen erst nach und nach zu bewirken und vor allen Dingen sowohl körperlich als geistig einige Beruhigung eintreten zu lassen. Meine Schwester gesellte sich gleich zu mir und wie vorläufig aus ihren Briefen, so konnte ich nun mehr umständlicher und genauer die Verhältnisse und die Lage der Familie vernehmen. Mein Vater hatte nach meiner Abreise seine ganze didaktische Liebhaberei der Schwester zugewendet und ihr bei einem völlig geschlossenen durch den Frieden gesicherten und selbst von Mietleuten geräumten Hause fast alle Mittel abgeschnitten sich auswärts einigermaßen umzutun und zu erholen. Das französische, italienische, englische musste sie abwechselnd treiben und bearbeiten, wobei er sie einen großen Teil des Tags sich an dem Klavier zu üben nötigte. Das Schreiben durfte auch nicht versäumt werden und ich hatte, wurd schon früher gemerkt, dass er ihre Korrespondenz mit mir dirigierte und seine Lehren durch ihre Feder mir hatte zukommen lassen. Meine Schwester war und blieb ein indefinibles Wesen, das sonderbarste Gemisch von Strenge und Weisheit, von Eigensinn und Nachgebigkeit, welche Eigenschaften bald vereint, bald durch Willen und Neigung vereinzelt wirkten. So hatte sie auf eine Weise, die mir vorstellig erschien, ihre Hachte gegen den Vater gewendet, dem sie nicht verzieh, dass er ihr diese drei Jahre lang so manche unschuldige Freude verhindert oder vergellt und von dessen guten und trefflichen Eigenschaften sie auch ganz und gar keine anerkennen wollte. Sie tat alles, was er befahl oder anordnete, aber auf die unliebliste Weise von der Welt. Sie tat es in hergebrachter Ordnung, aber auch nichts drüber und nichts drunter. Aus Liebe Bequempte sie sich zu nichts, sodass dies eines der ersten Dinge war, über die sich die Mutter in einem geheimen Gespräch mit mir beklagte. Da nun aber meine Schwester so liebebedürftig war, als irgendein menschliches Wesen, so wendete sie nun eine Zeigung ganz auf mich. Ihre Sorge für meine Pflege und Unterhaltung verschlang alle ihre Zeit. Ihre Gespielenen, die von ihr beherrscht wurden, ohne dass sie daran dachte, mussten gleichfalls allerlei aussinnen, um mir gefällig und trostreich zu sein. Als ich mich durch mich zu erheitern und entwickelte sogar einige Keime von passenhaftem Humor, den ich an ihr nie gekannt hatte und der ihr sehr gut ließ. Es entspann sich bald unter uns eine Kotteriesprache, wodurch wir vor allen Menschen reden konnten, die uns verstanden. Und sie bediente sich dieses Rotweltsches öfters mit vieler Keckheit in Gegenwacht der Eltern. Persönlich war mein Vater in ziemlicher Behaglichkeit. Er befand sich wohl, brachte einen großen Teil des Tags mit dem Unterrichtem meiner Schwester zu. Er schrieb an seiner Reisebeschreibung und stimmte seine Laute länger, als er darauf spielte. Er verheierte dabei, so gut er konnte, den Verdruss anstatt eines röstigen, tätigen Sohnes, der nun promovieren und jene vorgeschriebene Lebensbahn durchlaufen sollte, einen Krenkling zu finden, der noch mehr an der Seele als am Körper zu leidenschien. Er verbarg nicht seinen Wunsch, dass man sich mit der Kur expedieren möge. Besonders aber musste man sich mit hypochondrischen Äußerungen in seiner Gegenwacht in Acht nehmen, weil er als dann heftig und bitter werden konnte. Ende von 2. Teil 8.

Elizabeth City, as we always say is one of the most beautiful tools in our 17 university frame. We are so proud of all the new and all that you do. Chancellor Dixon, for you we shall help you. You definitely are the right leader at the right time for this institution, which has accomplished so much in 130 years. People of world leadership, easy as you, has a great future ahead. Welcome to the city of State. Chancellor Dixon and Elizabeth City State makes this campus the great place that it is today. We salute you and your friends. Shout out to all of you at who's in your first day. Elizabeth City State has provided you with and prepared you for the next chapters in your life. And we are enthusiastic and we wait to hear what great things do all that does. So we are asking you all, always to make a minute to DCSU. You have been great student ambassadors and now you have transformed that greatness into our new alumni association members. So make sure you get your names in your own numbers and email addresses because you want you to be those that give back all that Elizabeth State has done for you. So as your part I'm going to ask you to remember these things. Take responsibility for every area in your body. Put your future in your hands. Very good hands. Your own hands. Keep your promises. Cause y'all promise y'all can try to learn not to change your writing. And always do the very best. Finally remember that DCSU is your home model. It has contributed to building the foundation for which you will have the best part of your lives. So as the famous writer Norris Wright once said the future lies on for you like a field of good snow. Be careful how you tread for every step of the show. Or backwards from that other pocket, you may want to come through the hood in a car that makes a lot of noise. We are watching you. We are watching you on your journey. So if you all this is a great day for you to celebrate this epic journey that you're on. All of you, graduates put a bright smile on your faces. Who will show us back looking to make greatness that stands before you. Again I say I promise you guys I'm not too proud of you. I know that my greatest achievement is in my position as a writer. He's family and the most important person that you've ever met. I don't want to stress this though as I'm trying to be patient with this really great achievement. So I'm going to take 30 minutes. Sorry. I got three points by the pastor. He's the one that I'm going to be seeing today. Sorry. But we already were hitting that into the first place on this moment. Saying good-bye. I told myself I was going to do it. What we didn't know is that our lives were going to change. We're going to change. We're going to learn so much about ourselves. Each one of these things are meant to be feeling your degree amidst a world-wide agreement in self-teaching, remote learning all along enhancing your time management, critical thinking, skills and all the solving skills. And since you're all the employers that's wanting you to do it. Yes. You're more than qualified for the job that you are seeking. We've got to talk about past skills. But in that I've learned a whole lot about leadership. When I was advocating to the faculty staff stand for this option I waited to empower the learners. Alright. I want to talk about that. But the question was asked in private conversation. Why do you advocate for some part of the community? Should we be there advocating to be confident in the years of Robert Wood? And I'm thankful for trusting me for the last two years when talking about administrators that even though the university came out of that. I want you all to know once you surpass the expectation that so many of the years placed on you will be from the target, oftentimes the pain of enemies only comes from the outside. Sometimes the game will become a home back yard. It takes courage to be different. It takes courage to be the place that you've ever come. But remember they can take courage to be better graduates. But remember it also takes courage to be successful. Sometimes the result will decrease if it's actually increasing in value for the members of private. There's a saying that goes, good and better vets never let the risk but also never stop from less. Make sure you're striving to make sure that you're good because you're better and you're better because you're best. But last, I want you to know this. If my can promise you they'll always play a role in how you move and breathe in every notion of their heart. If I can promise in you, it's going to be you through and through. It's going to be more and everything you do. If I can promise in you, there's a special glow and something different that will be in you that will make the world better. Thank you. I want to give another hand to our outstanding people from our community who received this morning's award. Two times, the student body president, Mr. President as I call him, Jimmy Chambers. It is okay to shed some tears. This is your day when you earn. Thank you. I'm going to be thankered by a musical selection from the U.S. choir conducted by Jasmine Cooper. I promise I'll be there. Now, home of our speaker, David Perler, a few highlights about this Virginia and chief oatmeal officer of Gohots. His love for cooking inspired him to study culinary arts and hospitality management at the restaurant school at Walnut Hill College. It was his passion for breakfast that led him to create a program that innovated on the Goh icon that referred to as oatmeal in a ball. His conviction that this product could positively impact the lives of so many people motivated him to appear on season 12 of Shark Tank. And his brand of Gohots has become a household favorite, bringing a quick, convenient, best free option to busy gohots. Gohots is now open in over 2,000 retail stores nationwide. Please join me in welcoming our commencement speaker Mr. Nehon Genove. This is so amazing. Chancellor Dixon, Provost Lord, fellow honorees and today's graduates, thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure to be here with you all again. I say it again because some of you may have been, I was here last month for entrepreneurship and I see a few of you students that I connected with in the audience and basically speaking to business majors or any of the other businesses and at the rate we're going on Chancellor Dixon if I'm thinking about that I might be an awful one here. Being here today it's exciting and it's also very vulnerable. It's exciting because I live around here and I'm not too far removed from 10 to 12 years ago I was sitting in these same chairs and speaking to the students last month listening to them talk listening to their ideas I see and I'm hearing their eyes and I'm like yeah that's where it's at because I remember that feeling because I was there and so I'm excited to be able to speak to those experiences and the same as I'm vulnerable because it's one thing to speak about things come up here and speak about things when you're looking back 25 years, 30 years when you're looking very familiar and speaking about your life process but here in the middle of it it just takes different and today I'm still in the middle of a lot of things but and so that's the tension during my time here we spoke about my story and various topics from work ethic to adversity and several other things in between we spoke about topics that I felt reputable for the students that contributed to getting me to where I am today and as I was preparing for today I realized that a lot of the principles that we discussed although we have spoken from a context of business these principles were interchangeable and applicable to life in general I had today's dimensions which I needed to know the unfortunate part is I wrote this speech seven different times before I made this realization so let that be a point of one don't reinvent the wheel if it ain't broken I'll fix it that first one wasn't free so again standing here today is why I love I want you to know it's this beautiful yet messy process which typically always starts with an idea and then it's followed by some action, a step some level of investigation and you never really know what the enter is almost going to be you never really know for sure it's usually just a hunch and you can take some steps and you kind of stumble and figure it out along the way but that's kind of how life is now for instance, you enroll in university and you have no idea what the next four years are going to look like I don't know if they tuition who you are going to be while you are here you have no idea how the endemic will break out and disrupt your norms but regardless of what is going on you keep moving forward as life obstacles and curve balls come you keep moving forward when things are coming great you don't get stagnant you keep moving forward it's a point to actually have this person do but we won't get into that right now and they do a chance to fix it but I was wondering I was wondering how what I was going to answer myself but you took care of that for me so back to this hope note creation that led me to where I am today I was working at this hotel and all they did was ask me to write a breakfast menu and I got to easily pick up and walk around the hotel I was just doing my job and I'll pause here for just one second be faithful over where you are and what we have in our hands right now, today you're given what you are supposed to be doing in this season and it seems to come always that way of finding it I was just doing my job I was working as a chef and they did this menu that I guess can easily pick up and walk around the hotel and I wanted to make more of that on the screen instead of using water and a package that you can use and spices and that's exactly what I did outside of the hotel I launched my little creation at this event and it was crazy over there and as a chef that's your job right to make food that people are going to come into your establishment and expose the taste to it but something called a different discretion person I thought something and that's when I realized I had a shared discretion outside these four walls I had no idea taking this step and starting with what is known today as go-go's would lead me to 20 plus million viewers described by the parents on Sharkton would lead me to speak with students across the country before we go to a brand that is now distributed nationally and soon to be globally and the utmost honor of meeting you all here today this is the power I'm stepping up what step are you nervous or hesitant about taking my goal here today is not to talk about oatmeal and I'm so sorry if I disappointed you my mindset going into this was what advice would I give my 21 year old self or better yet my 1 year old son 10 to 15 years from now what would I tell him and so my goal is to share with you a few points from my career and so far that I believe will help you as you are taking this step until you know I want you to get a glimpse if you work hard if you be patient and humble and push your faith in God it's not just about succeeding or waiting or losing it's about what you are becoming in the process so number one you have to do the work you guys are probably like you didn't start yet mentor would always say to me the proof is in the pudding basically you do the work my dad would always tell me nothing is free in this world if you have to work harder than and if people help you along the way that's great but it starts with you I think somehow that always stuck with me and today I have a better understanding of what you meant he told me how to work hard and to be building it in the early days of building my company I didn't have a ton of resources $100 about like $10,000 that's how tank cash was and so I had to do everything from waiting up at 4am to to make deliveries to then go into my 9 to 5 that's how I mentioned earlier then from 6pm to 1am we worked, that's the kitchen for renting to make my product rinse for me and do it all over again day after day and we've been working with party I was at store sampling I had to do that for 3 years now I stopped and I say I had because waiting up at 4am and just not spending 3 hours was no fun but that's what pursuing the dream looks like you go all in you leave it all on the team the reality is who else is going to do it no one else will work harder when you're dreaming than you will I haven't looked down in my mind that you all stay here day after day you have to have some level of work at it to make it through college class and new stage ideally college classes can be worn but for the red man I already have a dollar bill here on AT I'm not used to this not making a problem Dr. Smith and her staff and her crew, her team Dr. Scott, Dr. K I got to the chance to work with them and be with them last month and their team is amazing I know college work is tough, it's hard it's challenging but the reason why we're working at it is so critical is that it sets you apart it differentiates your community's trust and maturity this is one of the attributes outside of passion that will push you through when things get tough and you don't feel like working or you're losing motivation because we have the duty of responsibility because we say yes I think the question here is how bad do you want to collaborate if you are going after it whether it's a promotion whether you're going to disrupt our airplay for good or maybe you're going to open up businesses across Elizabeth City and invest in the E.C. community walking across this stage today the harder you will have to work what you put in is what you will get out and I know this sounds super simple but it's very important that you cash it because no one after their dreams isn't always sexy and glamorous and they can be ugly in spite of what you see on Instagram and TikTok and even LinkedIn don't get caught up in the highlight rounds I can make a post about how many years you landed a thousand stores and that's a beautiful accomplishment it's great but you don't know what happened behind the scenes to get there there are tears, there are scenes nights but again you have to do what others are not willing to do to get to where you want to be one thing leads to another I'm not making the open person these days or the deliveries these days but trust and believe I'm still hustling and it doesn't stop it's just packaged a little bit differently as you move up point number 2 process takes time you can't rush the process you have to be patient again I remember sitting in chairs like this about 12 years ago I'll never forget one of my first jobs as a sous chef right out of culinary school I was a hard worker I was confident 21 year old but I was 21 so I was probably not good as I should be confident in myself but I was really good at what I did I thought I knew that but I was creative I was smart but that's what we're going to establish it's like the four seasons best to you you learn a lot when you're working with the top talent and you leave it and think that you are the best this particular job out of college brought me in as a sous chef second in the main and I remember working for a boss whom I felt I knew more than him through the minds of anybody and I remember wanting to do things and make changes pretty much make up for his lack he had less culinary experience than me I was teaching him certain things where I should have been the other way around at times he was frustrating because I knew I was supposed to be number one I knew I was going to leave and that boss left me abruptly and so I was under the impression it was my turn I'm naive I ended up being passed up to the number one spot twice they brought in another chef after that and I'm no friend of him which was this hard worker and I don't know why or how but I stayed at the courts I'm explaining all of this now the truth is I was so angry I even tried to leave I was going to take the executive chef role that our sister brought me I interviewed and I thought I had the job my team was already congratulating me as they thought I was ringing again I was passed over I was happy with that so why only to find out later that our CEO walked the promotion and that's for the reason she wouldn't even keep me at the location where she was managing and when I said I was using like what did she think she was but I had to internalize it all and keep my head up like I said out there just keep moving forward and just like that after 2 and a half years of being passed over I finally got the opportunity I always thought so much and it's funny because when you're in a situation it feels like time stands still but once you get out of this situation it's like oh that wasn't that bad anyway I became the executive chef at 23 years old which is no easy feat and I say thank you to that CEO you see those years were some of the most challenging years of my young career that was in 2010 if I didn't learn how to humble myself and be a number 2 I could never be the number 1 that I had today at gaining this fast growing brain seeing those days where I helped me be the man providing what I got and making fancy dishes God knew what he had to store for me in 2022 if I could be trusted and if I could be trusted with someone else's organization I could be trusted I could surely be trusted with my own and now that I look back I don't think my skills were ever in question which is why the CEO might be keeping me there what I failed to realize is I was being pruned and pruning hurts and if it was up to me I was given but even then I stand here being pruned today and so remember I did a movie with Mr. Biongmy and the Banzai trees trimming the edges so that they can grow beautifully and so that they can be presentable that's what was happening to me and can happen to all of you that you allow those days were about the process of who I was becoming these next few years starting today will be about who you are and so some questions for us to all think about you respect and still honor the person that you know more than and still have to report to if I'm unable to serve how can I believe do you quit or have the first sign of adversity or do you stick it out and you don't know the way did I learn from the mistakes I got able to watch my prior bosses make which ultimately led them to create a space for me to learn what not to do when I made it to the top who we are becoming is more important than how much you know what you can't control is how you respond and adversity and a lot of that it just gets a bit more specific if I were to brush the process and let my ego get the best of me I would have learned a lot of lessons in life in the hard way and coincidentally I would have applied as a process of learning to honor the process of character the process of humility a blessing given too soon or before you were ready there was no blessing at all I believe that certain things are going to come from us for a reason either because we are younger or we can't handle it or because we need to push a little harder it's up to you to know the difference but if that statement is so true why are we in a rush why are we anxious to get there where are we going who are we trying to keep up with and most importantly who are you becoming what you meant to say be the person you want to work for be the person you want to work with be the person you would want to hire often times we want something so desperately that we become so jaded and we fail to recognize whatever it is we are building is a process and I would love to stand here and tell you that we made a million dollars in our first year of business but we made 27,000 and it took us four years of process to hit the southern figure mark and there's still so much more work to do but I'm here to tell you that the most beautiful and valuable things in life take time to process takes time you all are valuable so take your time trust the process and you will get there I could probably just stand right there because that was about like 10 points of 1 but I just have one more about who are you and I don't know who I am in every thing you do but God works and give you thanks the reason we are here and we have all the answers ways or not ways we will be there all day if I spend a year and tell you stories about how we spoke to you how you know how I had brought this whole process all the doors is open and closed for you you know what you need what you need and just because it's more close that doesn't mean that you're going to get that home everything I shared with you above was only possible because he was talking with me and probably with my own voice for you too even when I figured it off thinking about the whole thing and I was a people he was people and still is and surrounded me with great people I ain't going to get that job or lash out or get things added after Shark Tank because I know who's the one that's the same thing I know where this lesson comes from your gift and your favorite there's going to be room for you and so while you step in while you take a step into the unknown while you learn to hustle and work hard while you practice humility and patience while you are pursuing your dreams don't forget to make time to pray and so with that God I can ask right now that you have blessed each and every one of these graduates today I pray that today I'll be the beginning of what's to come generational generational and generational success only you know the sacrifices that they have made only you know the sacrifices their families have made to be here today and I ask that you would leave them I ask that you would give them wisdom I ask that you would keep your hand upon them protect them from harm's way close any door that they are not supposed to walk from that you wouldn't make yourself known to them in Jesus mighty name I pray I bless you guys I love you guys congratulations thank you thank you for being here for your presence for entrepreneurship we are coming back for giving us such an inspiring message and we want to present

UCeGkjVqGT-CMEjloRQIjfDA	Describing Forces on Submerged Bodies		null	2020-08-27T19:13:58	2024-02-08T20:36:21	280	VzYsxLRhzpc	In determining the forces acting on a submerged body, we are concerned with two things. First, the magnitude of the resulting hydrostatic force, and two, where that force is acting. The force of the applied fluid pressure is the pressure multiplied by the area of effect, but remember that the pressure changes as a function of height. For example, if we were to consider a very simple case, where, say, a one meter square is holding back a pool of water that perfectly touches the top of that square, you could say the gauge pressure at the top of the fluid is zero. Why am I talking about gauge pressure? Well, because atmospheric pressure in this hypothetical is acting on both sides of the gate. It's the pressure difference that we are concerned about. So the pressure, the gauge pressure, at the top would be zero and would linearly increase with height. The result is a triangle. Therefore, I know the force exerted by this pressure is going to be positioned a third of the way up the square. That's the point at which half the triangle is below my vector and half the triangle is above my vector. Therefore, I could say the fluid pressure is applied at a position two-thirds of a meter below the surface. Note that that is not the center of gravity of the square. The same logic applies to arbitrary shapes at arbitrary positions and arbitrary angles. The pressure increases with depth and we have to integrate to determine where the center of that applied fluid pressure appears. When you integrate the force term multiplied by position with respect to the surface, you end up with a function of the area moment of inertia of the shape. Also, since the face of the body is not necessarily perpendicular to the surface of the fluid, we have to multiply by the sign of the angle between the body and the surface so that our moment of inertia is described in the same reference frame as the pressure's function of depth. To make the math easier, we describe two dimensions, the distance between the centroid of the body and the center of applied hydrostatic force in the x-direction, and the distance between the centroid and the force in the y-direction. In this diagram, the center of applied force, that is abbreviated Cp, is offset from CG and we would describe this distance in the x-direction and this distance in the y-direction. And we would call them yCp and xCp. Therefore, we describe first the magnitude of the force applied by the fluid pressure by taking the specific weight of the fluid multiplied by the height from the fluid surface to the center of gravity of the face multiplied by area. Note that this is just the gauge pressure we know and love because specific weight is density of the fluid multiplied by gravity and then we multiply by height, that's the PAH equation, multiplied by area, so pressure multiplied by area is force, then we calculate the offset position of the center of applied force from the centroid of the shape. Note that the yCp parameter is defined in the up direction, that is towards the fluid's surface. If you get a negative number, that means the center of pressure is below the center of gravity. For example, if we got a yCp value that was positive and an xCp value of zero, that means our center of applied pressure is directly above our center of gravity. What is much more likely to happen, though, is that we will have a negative center of pressure. Therefore, our applied pressure will be below our center of gravity. That's why we have this negative term out front. The positive or negative value of these two terms is important. I think it will make more sense if we try an example.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzYsxLRhzpc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

And I'm Bruce Gulland. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live. Jess Wade is a research scientist at the Imperial College in the United Kingdom. In fact, Wade is a good scientist. But Wade is also a woman. This can make her job a challenge. Sometimes it does not matter how good a scientist she is. That is because the people she works with treat her differently because she is a woman. In a video for the website NowThisNews, she says, As a woman, people expect you to do the day-to-day tasks, or order the food, or get the meeting room, or look after the students, those kind of things. And there is a problem with those jobs falling on women in subjects like science and engineering. These are kind of housekeeping jobs. These jobs will not get you recognized as a scientist. They are not work that will get you a better job. Wade wanted to change this. She did not just want to make her own life better. She wanted to make life better for all women. In this way, she would make life better for all people. Today's spotlight is on Jess Wade's work to recognize women in science. Wade is not the first person to notice that women in science do not get the credit they deserve for their work. She learned about this issue from Alice White. White is a scientific historian. She helped Wade understand the problem by thinking about Wikipedia. Wade explained to NowThis News, Alice told me that of all the people with a page on Wikipedia, only 17% are about women. You could be looking up some kind of new solar material, or you could be looking up a building in Florence, Italy. And the people that you read about will be men. And that frightened me. Wikipedia is the fifth most used website in the world. It is a free collection of human knowledge. The English version gets over 500 million views each month. There are over 300 different language versions of Wikipedia. Websites such as Google, Facebook, YouTube and Amazon use Wikipedia for information. Anyone can write or change Wikipedia. The idea is that lots of people working together on something will be better than a few people. Wade believed she could use Wikipedia to recognize women scientists. So she learned how to create new pages on Wikipedia. She learned how to add to pages that needed more information. She began by writing one new page each day. The first woman Wade wrote about was Professor Kim Cobb. Cobb is a climate scientist who works on coral reefs in the ocean. Professor Cobb did not have a Wikipedia page. So Wade wrote one. Next, Wade wrote a page about Susan Goldberg. Goldberg was the first woman to be editor of National Geographic. Goldberg did not have a Wikipedia page. So Wade wrote one. Then Wade wrote a page for another woman. Then another. Wade told the Guardian, I have done about 270 pages in the past year. I had a target for doing one a day. But sometimes I get too excited and do three. She says that Wikipedia is a great method for representing these women. She continued, Wikipedia is a really great way to involve people in this work. That is because the more you read about these amazing women, the more you get so inspired by their personal stories. Wade has been recognized for her work writing on Wikipedia. She has even won awards. But this is not her goal. Her goal is to make the world a better place for women in science. She speaks to girls at schools about choosing a job in sciences. She buys copies of books about women in science and gives them away. She would love for other people to help her write Wikipedia pages. But more than that, she wants everyone to help in any way they can. She explained to NowThis News, We could all do a better job of celebrating the women and underrepresented groups who are in science and in engineering and technology and in any job where you are in the minority. I think that at every chance we can, we should try and support someone else. And if you have been given a chance, that is so great. But then you have to help someone else at the same time. So what can you do to encourage women in science, technology, engineering or mathematics? One simple way is to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science every year on February 11. This day celebrates women from around the world who work in areas of science or technology. Patricia Espinosa is an executive secretary for the United Nations. She explained the need for a day like this. Amazing women through history have affected the world of science in important and life-giving ways. From the 4th century astronomer Hippartia to Iranian mathematician Marian Mazarkan. There is too you, you of China. She discovered the anti-malarial drug Artemisinin. Yet women do not have enough representation in science and in engineering. This stops everyone from getting a better future for current and future generations. The International Day of Women and Girls in Science should celebrate their achievements, but it should also push all nations and organizations to find ways to open the doors to this large group of talented people. You can also do something every day of the year to recognize women in science. Every person knows girls and women who are or could be good in science. Encourage them to consider a job in science. Name someone for an award. Tell her to speak at a conference. Put her forward for a promotion or better job. We can all do something, even if it is reading Jess Wade's own Wikipedia page. Are you a woman in science? What other ways can people recognize women in science? Tell us what you think. You can leave a comment on our website or email us at radio at radioenglish.net.

UCKULTAeygQyCD_lLmex0eJA	Soil Temperature Part 1: Comparing Conventionally Tilled vs. No Tilled Temperatures Summer 2016	Description: In this video, the USDA-NRCS’s (Brookings, SD) Eric Barsness and SDSU’s Anthony Bly discusses and experiment the NRCS conducted in Vermillion SD on a conventionally tilled and a long-term no-tilled field. Eric buried two temperature probes at 2” and the probes were able to record temperatures every 15 minutes over the entire growing season of 2016. This test is a nice example of how no-till and conventional till fields perform side by side and also show that, while there may be differences in the heat units (or growing degree days) at the beginning of the growing season, by the end of the season each crop received the same number of heat units. USDA is an Equal Opportunity Provider, Employer and Lender.

Here we discussed some data picked up from two fields down in Clay County in the 2016 growing season. I keep hearing all the time that soil temperature has a huge effect on plant growth. And how does residue affect that growth? If you have a lot of residue covering the surface how does that fluctuate? So we started out with a project we bought a bunch of these soil temperature sensors and we basically were looking for a comparison. Two fields, different management and trying to compare how does residue affect soil temperature at the two inch depth and see how that affects crop growth. So we installed these in the field right at planting time. Basically tried to disturb the soil as little as possible. Put these temperature probes in, set them back down. They're set to record once an hour. So we have quite a few data points throughout the whole growing season. So we collected data all through the year last year and right up to harvest. And it was pretty interesting the results that we found. Right, and that's where you and I came in Anthony. We got this overwhelming amount of data and you came up with an idea. Yeah, we talked to growers about the differences in temperature between management systems and they noticed those differences in the field by the differences in the plant growth they see. So you calculated those heat units and I think it shows quite well that by the time the end of the growing season comes around we've accumulated a similar amount of heat in that soil and that's where it comes out. Well, can you explain this part over here Anthony because the blue line here is going to be your no-till. So what is happening early in the season and what's happening in the eye of the farmer? Well, we're coming out of a season there just in May, you know, previous month April where soils are thawing and warming up. And so we see that those residue covered soils, the temperature rising a lot slower. And so we see that depression in the no-till there in the beginning of the season where that bare soil is going to take more heat in. That's just obvious that that's going to happen. And then somewhere around about the end of June that kind of catches up, right? Yeah, that's where that temperature moderation is coming in with the no-till and helping it to catch up. And old professor of mine, Dr. Tom, you achieved the interview. He always mentioned that that no-till will catch up later in that season and it does happen. Well, this discussion reminds me a little bit of what Ralph Holtzworth said to us a while back. You remember that Barrett? Yep, you don't harvest your corn in June. So what's next, Buzz? Well, you will remember that Anthony Bly mentioned temperature moderation in no-till soils. We're going to unpack that a little bit in the next video. See you soon.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz8koC_VEuQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

So we'll find out in a bit. I'm actually going, hold on one second. Going on your channel right now so I can see the live chat. Yeah, we'll be there. Everybody, welcome to Digital Asset News. Take the top stories and cryptocurrency and digital assets. Big amount of bite-sized pieces. So today, let me pop out the chat so everybody can see what the heck I see. Hello, everybody. Oh, no, I got it. Look at this. How does that mean? Perfect. Okay. Let me put this in real quick. Looks like audio is good, video is good. Everybody's good. Is this Rob's wife? Almost. This is almost Rob's wife. Alex Massioli. So. I just bought BitConnect. You know what? Solid play. I mean, for everybody that's out there that's making all these fantastic games, why not BitConnect? BitConnect 2.0. Just kidding. That's all I scan. Good morning from Texas. How you doing? Hello, hello, hello. Fancy shirt. Super fancy, right? I thought it was appropriate with what's going on in the market. So, everybody welcome to show Alex Massioli from the Alex Massioli show and of course, trade the chain. And he is coming on just to give us a little insight into what smart money does because he knows some of those people. Not to say that specifically that Alex is going to give us financial advice, probably a lot of financial opinion because nothing that we talk about here could be construed as financial advice, right, Alex? That is absolutely correct. Right, so let's start off, huh? Let's get going. I love the whole ADA army is in the chat. Go Cardano. You know, man, everybody's got an army these days, right? And if you don't have an army there's something wrong with you, it seems like. But everybody, and it's good to see and sometimes it's not good to see. It's good to see if you're in that army but if you're outside the army and you talk S about that army, whoo, watch out. The army gets it. I excerpt the army's someone goes, hey, let me, I'm gonna allow that. Let's share this. Let me bring up the rights thing, bup, bup, bup. What I wanna talk about today. Hope everybody's Saturday's going well. Yeah, it's always good to be on the weekend. I know, because no one's doing anything. And I just, I was supposed to go play volleyball today. I just didn't really feel like it. So I'll probably. Yeah, Saturday's, that's your volleyball day. Come on, Rob. It's my volleyball drinking day. Really, I really just drink more than I play volleyball these days, it seems like. Everybody looks forward to that Saturday, El Paso evening live stream. Yeah, so I can make the most ridiculous comments and backtrack the next day. Yeah, that's usually how it works out. So today, I wanna just, because there's been some interesting things going on in the market, right? I mean, with everything that happened with Elon Musk and that whole catastrophe, Alex had a great show which talked about how Elon Musk tweets, put the whole cryptocurrency market into the big S show and what's gonna happen next. So check that out, I'll link it at the end if I can. And I just wanna see just where the market is, where potentially it's going. And then maybe what's gonna happen over the next six months and what's the best, the best investment you can actually pick from. Because this is what I get everywhere, God dang, and Alex, you get this too, right? Everywhere you go, hey, what should I invest in? Hey, what should I invest in? Hey, I see you on YouTube. Hey, what do I invest in? I go to this, me and my friend Jordan, we go to this place called B52's in El Paso and it's got great wings, you guys should go there. And one of the ladies comes up and she's like, one of the waitresses, she's like, hey, so how's the crypto thing going? So I got her into crypto. Yeah, it's going pretty good. She's like, so this guy came in and he was telling me about Ethereum and that I should just go all in on Ethereum because it's gonna go up to, she said, oh, is it $30,000 by the end of the year? And I was like, wow, I don't think that's true. But I don't know if you should do that. And then of course my wife's always like, you know, what should I invest in? Just like I'm sure you're a wife. So today, let's demystify some of these things and just talk about where things are at right now and where I think they could potentially be going in the next six months. And which one is like risk to reward ratio? We'll go from there. First of all. You have this formula down pat. Two things that the audience wants, what do I invest in and give me a prediction? If you leave either one of those out, shame on us, right? Shame on us, exactly. And so I'm gonna, here's, so we can't get financial advice. So I'm gonna lump, I'm gonna pretend that the entire audience is Rob three years ago. That's a good one. So I'm just gonna be talking to my former self. And Alex will do the same thing. Cause we can't give anybody advice, but maybe we could talk to our former self and tell that person what to do. But first let's take a look at what happened to them. What the heck happened, Alex? We're two, I thought we were like 2.4 trillion. Now we're at 2.27 and Bitcoin took a dump again. Yeah, I think from what CJ said on the show the other day, that 47 low, where are we at right now? 48,000, 40,000, 40,000, 40,000. Jesus, how many times has CJ been right? And Monty? Yeah, they both said it. I mean, Monty came out 47 and change is the support, so. Shoot, yeah, when I heard it, I'm like, I can see that, but I'm like, you know what, I always do the same thing. That sounds reasonable, but nah. And then of course, every single f in time, it's probably, those guys are like oracles. Did Ryan give any prediction on Ethereum? Hopefully, I know he didn't give any prediction on Ethereum. The overall consensus on our side of the fence is that we're not gonna see 10,000 anytime soon. 5,000's possible this month with a then a retracement of about 30, 35%. That makes sense, let me see here. Let me hold back, did I miss anything? All right, hold on. Okay, and then let's see, everything's in the red, except for, well actually everything's in the red, for the hour, except for Tether, who cares, nobody cares about Tether. Cardano up 16%, Polkadot up five, but Polkadot was up massively. And let's see, what anything else? Matic, have you guys talked about Matic? Layer two solution? Hey, you know when the Matic, click on Matic. First of all, you're gonna see something new. Look at that, there's price over sentiment and then to the left of that, where's this crypto watch is charting. But yeah, I mean, you can see Matic, a lot of Matic people happy. I think so. What is this? Oh, that's cool, you have the sentiment score. Oh yeah, now you get a visual. You slick son of a, yeah, good for you. You know, I gotta tell you, when Trader Chain first came out, it was a good product and you guys made it better. Pretty nice, okay, well that's enough bragging. I didn't say anything. One major speaks for itself, so Matic's doing pretty good. So good job for all your Matic holders. Ave, your boy Stani, but that's 20% but down 10 or 24 hours. 23, who will be token? No, he cares. Kusama, that is the platform for Polkadot, right? I think, correct me in the comment section. Everything else is pretty much down. So the question then is, what happened to Cardano and what happened to Polkadot? Why are these the rare unicorns out there that are pulling up some big numbers and the other ones are falling to the wayside? Well, let's take a look. First of all, let's start with this little article. So the big question is, just like what I showed you, I have so many tabs open today, just like I showed you with a thumbnail. What would I tell my wife? Well, I'll get to that, but let's take a first. Let's take a look at four crypto projects and some of the stories that are going on. So right now, BlackRock Chief Investment Officer, Rick Ryder thinks Bitcoin is durable. So why do we care about BlackRock? Who is BlackRock? We reason we care about BlackRock is because we got a boatload of money as far as assets under management. We're almost looking at nine trillion- Largest in the world. Largest in the world, that's right. And that's with a T, not with a B, that's a T. That's a trillion, trillion dollars. So their big guy, Rick Ryder, BlackRock's Chief Investment Officer and head of the global allocation team says this, I think is durable, which is cute. That's nice, thanks. He says, I think will be part of the investment arena for years to come. And then this was on, I think it's CNBC Squawk, yeah, CNBC Squawk box. And they pretty much just ask him because of the tweet that Elon put out, which was like, hey, Elon's like, hey, I'm not going to, or we are not going to accept Bitcoin. And we can debate that thing all day. Although, before I get onto it, Alex, did you see Pompiliano's answer to, what's her name, Julia Chatterley at CNBC? Yeah, he took the, I guess in early morning slot, throw him in, he explained the whole renewable energy bit and it's broken down the numbers. It's pretty impressive. Yeah, it was pretty impressive. Although, I mean, let's just, some people think, first of all, some people think I'm an idiot, right? Which fair point. Some people will talk trash about anybody. Some people say that Pompiliano's an idiot and some people say he's a genius and everything in between. I personally think he's a pretty smart guy and when he's talking, there was this one question when Chatterley was asking him about, she's like, well, you know, there's other cryptocurrencies that we can use right now that use essentially no mining and absolutely nothing. And the answer he gave was the same answer that I would give when I'm in an interview and I know what to say. I just kind of like screwed around the whole thing and just go, well, you know, this and this and the space rockets and Christopher Columbus and da-da-da. And that's pretty much. And she's like, all right, sure enough. And then, of course, everybody lamp-bastin' but I will say this, you can't know everything because in all honesty, because he and even Chatterley got it wrong because she said, well, we can use Ethereum. And I'm like, no, that's not true because, you know, Ethereum is still a proof of work and tell a year from now. And then she brought up XRP, XRP Army, everybody to rejoice. I know you're out there. And I think she even brought a cordon. I can't remember. And he's just like, just kind of side skirt. He's like, no, no, Bitcoin and energy and things like that. I just thought it was interesting how it was brought about and whatever. All right. He's a reformed maximalist now, I think. You think so? I don't know. I think he's interesting guy. So this is also what he says, writer says. He goes, there's some hurdles to overcome. I think Musk was mentioned one of them. Challenges he currently sees are volatility, regulatory dynamics and fiat currency concerns. But he did say the challenges are real. They will be overcome over time as Bitcoin gets more mature. And he sees Bitcoin as an asset rather than a potential to fix some of the world's current monetary problems. So when I see something like this, I don't know what you think, Alex. When I see something like this, I'm like, this is good because if BlackRock gets into it, it's not just, I mean, it's BlackRock and the people that they talk to and the influence that they have sway over. And when they start talking positively about this, I think it's good for the entire market as Bitcoin comes in. So what do you think? Yeah. First, I just, well, I think when it comes on these large asset managers in these banks, the one thing that they need to do, the more momentum that this gets, and we can pretty much say that Bitcoin is full force momentum, the world knows about it and things like that this year. But one of the things that they can't do is ignore it. So they have to address it no matter what. And right now the momentum is in positive light. So to have the CIO of BlackRock come out and be positive about it, he has to. I mean, at this point, you can't ignore it anymore. Whether the asset burns them in the butt and all of us in the butt at some point is a different story. But I think the demand is largely too far there that they're gonna need to incorporate this into some of their investment products. Yeah, it makes sense, right? So Alex, when you were back at Bequant, Head of Institutional Services and you were talking to all these big institutional players, what was the sentiment then? And then how do you feel the sentiment is now? Is like a total 180 or is it kind of like they were always there doing this thing? Oh, they weren't always there. There was no one there back in the day. And I really do think is whether you like them or you don't like them, Michael Saylor did really take it to the next level on the corporate side with the Bitcoin purchase for his balance sheet. And from there, I mean, I've even shared some of the emails that I've gotten where people are inquiring, how does my business buy Bitcoin for treasury and stuff like that. So I think over the last year, we've actually made leaps and bounds. I would say from this time last year to now has been the biggest move forward in crypto in a long time. Yeah, it's crazy is that to me, I think we're like 40 to 60% through this bull run. And then what's great about it is if you believe in the four year cycles, we got another one right around the corner. So like, I know everybody thinks that they have to get rich today, but that's not how you don't. I mean, let me rephrase that. Let me rephrase that. If you are, let's say you're 95 years old and like you're running out of money, maybe today would be the day that you wanna get rich. But for most people, and I can't speak for you, your goals aren't my goals. You don't have to get rich today and depends on what you wanna do. So- If you're running out of time, you gotta do something now. You gotta do something now. Yeah, you know, put it all in the Shiba Union or whatever else. I'm just kidding. Don't do that. It's crazy. Unless you want to. All right, so that is that part. So I wanna bring out Bitcoin because if for me, like when I tell people what to invest into, look Bitcoin for this cycle, I think the best it can do is maybe a 2x, maybe a 2.5, maybe, I don't know, maybe a three. That's really stretching. I think it can hit 150, but conservatively probably 130 this bull cycle. And then we go from there. So if I'm giving like the safest bet for that waitress that comes to me or that person that comes to me or my wife, I'm like, hey, just put a little bit into Bitcoin and play that around with your risk to reward ratio, whatever you wanna do. So that's the first one. Second one, let me share my screen. So I wanna move on to Cardano and Polkadot because the whole thing was that, you know, we just talked about how much Cardano went up. Man, I remember when I first started buying Cardano in 2018, it was like pennies. It really was pennies. And then of course, as a reminder, if you haven't gotten one of these called the Stonebook, I still have lost 20,000 ADA from my test net deadless wallet because I didn't write the damn pass raise down. So don't do what I do, link in the description, get one of those books and write everything down. I still can't get that 20,000. And if it goes to five bucks, which I think it's going to, then let me do some quick math. It's like $100,000. Okay, so that's a lot of money. I know, I just lost it because I just didn't write the stupid damn pass phrase down. So the question then is what happened? Because I mean, now we're over $2, Polkadot's pumping. And then this article is pretty good, but it's kind of boring. So I just highlight the good stuff. So because of what Elon Musk said, he said, hey, we're trying to go for an alternative, the Bitcoin's energy, just so you know, Polkadot and Cardano. They are a proof of state consensus algorithm right now. Ethereum is moving into that. Do we know when that's going to happen? ETH 2.0? ETH 2.0? Oh no, ETH 2.0 was already supposed to have happened. It's every year it goes on. I mean, last year was just whatever. Yeah, I mean, look, everybody misses goals, right? It's just the fact of life. But hopefully Ethereum can keep theirs, it's all a say. And then the last part was, and this is the all summary with Decrypt. They said, well, possibly the thing that wiped out 10,000 from Bitcoin and put it into these proof of state coins like a Cardano and Polkadot is because of just what Elon Musk said. And of course, the Cardano Foundation puts a nice little tweet out and a little spin to it. But I don't think that's it because there's a lot of other proof of state coins that are still in the slum. So to me personally, this is what I think it is. And I've talked about this a lot. And I'm gonna talk about it a lot more until it actually comes to fruition. So this is the ecosystem. Not all of these are gonna make it. You're gonna get some failures. But remember, for Alonzo, for that to come out in August for smart contracts, these things are gonna hit. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take a look at all of them. And I'm not gonna put it on Digital Asset News channel because this is just for news and for me and Alex to shoot the bull every so often. What I'm gonna do is put it over on Dan Clips and break these projects down. Things like Sunday Swap, which is the DeFi exchange, PolySwap, another one. I'm gonna take a look at CardStarter, which I think is pretty interesting, just the whole launching platform for Cardano. And then the oracles that they have with Charlie 3 instead of using Chainlink and the other ones. So they got something like that. And, which I thought was interesting because Charlie 3, it even has a, you know, it's already listed. So I'm like, I didn't know that was even a possibility. Then I wanna take a look at as far, what was this one? Blockfrost, where they just, to get actual data into Cardano from all these different apps that they can pull through. I wanna take a look at, what was this one? This one was crazy. The Nifty platform for NFTs, where they're using AI and robots and things to create these NFTs and things like that. I was like, that's interesting. But Nifty is actually owned by Gemini. So I don't know how that actually works out into. And then I wanna talk about Cody. And I think I've listened to a couple of different people out there and Cody Pay looks like one of the real deals. So you're pretty much just bypassing everybody. And as far as like a payment system on top of Cardano. And as far as I know, Cardano system is pretty darn cheap so far. So we're not using these incredible, huge-ass gas fees. And that's what I got for that part. So that's in essence this. And then there was, nah, I don't wanna, there's so many things that I need to go over. But I can't go over here. Oh, and then with like Polkadot. First of all, they got things going on. What is this one? Polkadot decoded type of, what is this? Oh, workshop and bringing everybody together. And since it's coming up, made 19th to the 20th. What is that, next week? And then they've actually deployed the first parachain in the Permit Testnet. And that was just on May 14th. So in all honesty, I mean, you just had a time to take a look at, first of all, look at the team, look at what they're doing and look at the advancements that they're making. And I think this makes a lot of sense. Alex, what do you think? Yeah, I mean, a couple of things from there is, one, I got the team from OCAM, which was on that graphical, coming on next week, they're an IDO. And then two is, you know, when you talk about parachains, way back when, when it was just a sprinkle in somebody's eye, I had the CEO and founder of Moonbeam on. And I think we should get him back. Moonbeam is just, it's just hit popularity now with all the parachain stuff out there. So maybe we'll get him and we'll get to have him on your channel, on the Clips channel or something. So people can, you can grill him. I can't grill anybody. I just got to, first, I got to understand what the heck's going on. And then I can grill, but that's... There's so much tech. It's so hard to understand everything that's happening in the ecosystem these days. There's so much good stuff or interesting stuff at least. It's true. That's why I like, I don't want to overwhelm people on this channel. I just want to put it on Dan Clips and just break it down. It's like the simplest possible thing that I can possibly, I can do and then go from there. And hopefully you can drink all that water from a fire hose as much as possible and get it going. All right. Let me, before we move on to Ethereum. Let me take a look what's going on in the chats and let me ask Alex his price predictions. Cause that's what everybody's here for. Price predictions. Okay, Alex. Give me a price prediction for Bitcoin, Cardano and Polkadot and give me a timeframe too. And no pressure. No pressure whatsoever. Yeah. I mean, I'll do two of those three. I won't do Polkadot. I'll do Cardano. I'm not so sure, I'm not quite sure myself with Polkadot. I'm thinking a timeframe is end of the bull run. My bull run timeframe ending is a couple of months before they're there by elses and November going into December. I think Bitcoin has a strong chance to be around 125 to 130 and that's down from my original 150 a month and a half ago. And I think that Cardano has a great chance to be around the $10 range, to maybe even higher by that time. You know what it, you know what the thing is. You shill. You know what the thing is with Cardano. And by the way, I own no ADA. No kidding. So I'm not shilling ADA at all. I own none, but what's so important for Cardano to succeed and get to that level is exactly the graphical that you showed previously, which is up until now, there's been no rush for people to create an ecosystem around it. And now all of a sudden, there's a spark under everybody's butt. People are protesting Ethereum fees. Cardano, it actually, people, you have a whole slew of IDOs on there. So people are gonna build now that they can get launched and maybe things will change. Yeah, maybe things are, and that was the big, and I remember I was on your show and Ryan, Ryan Gorman, he even said, he goes, Rob, what do you like Cardano so much? He goes, anybody building on it? And I was like, well, no, it's not the point, Ryan. I was like, no, no one's doing anything right now. I go, but it's the future. He's like, but no one's building on it. I'm like, yeah, you got a good point. And it was true. And it actually holds true right now. Nobody's really building, building, but they're getting ready to launch a lot of different things. And I think that's what pushes everything up because if we take a look at what happened with Ethereum and their DEXes and all the things they're doing and the NFT platform, look, you can't even have an artist create something really fantastic and then release it without paying it through the nose because of those gas fees. So if you can do that over on Cardano, I mean, heck, why not? And if you're gonna make it super simple with that ERC-20 converter, I can see big things. Do I hold the theorem? Yes, did I sell a theorem? I sold a little bit, but I don't know because it's just, it moves so fast, right? It moves so fast. And these guys, this EIP 1559 could come out and they could solve the gas fees and everybody could get together and sing around a campfire and angels could come down and sing, I don't know. But do I think it's really gonna happen? Who knows? ETH 2.0, is it gonna hit on time? Well, just look at the past and we'll say hopefully. A lot of competition, a lot of competition, Rob. You got Avalanche, you have- Avalanche. BSC, you have Solana projects. These people, and those are by the way already being used and built on. So if ETH 2.0 and Cardano wanna stay in the game, they gotta keep it up. Yeah, they got it. I mean, they're trying. I don't think they're all just gonna sit on the wayside. So I think they're going good. So here's my prediction is as always, I think on the high end for Bitcoin 150, low is probably 110. And I'm gonna probably just agree with here with Alex and hit 130 and I'll be happy with that. And then for Cardano, I had an original price prediction of $3 because I'm super conservative and everybody's like, yeah, I know, well, you know me, I'm not gonna be like, it's going to 30 million tomorrow. I say three and then I did a revision. I thought it could be three to five. So right now with what's going on and what I just saw with all those different projects and once I really dig into them and put them on Dan Clips, I'm gonna say five is a pretty conservative number. And think about this, so five. So like when my wife asked me which I invest in, I tell her the same things all the time. I'm like, well, you know, in all honesty, Bitcoin, if you wanna be safe, Cardano, I think is gonna go up right now. And I told her this at 80 cents, 90 cents. And I've never pretty much wavered. And then I say also poke it out because I think it could be a hedge. Avalanche, perhaps, I don't really, I don't really mention Avalanche even though I think it's a good project. And I still talk about StormX and Voyager. I know people give me a lot of S about that, but I still believe in teams and that's how I see it. So the last thing is Ethereum. What do you think about Ethereum? Should I invest in Ethereum? I don't really have, I don't, because here's a, it's just like Bitcoin. The best they can do is a two X, right? I mean, if you're really, really pushing things. So let's take a look at what could potentially happen as far as upcoming things. And Alex, did I miss anything in the chats? No, I've been looking at them. Everybody's pretty chill right now. Everybody seems to agree with most of what we're saying. So I'm happy about that. Oh, just wait. Just wait till we hit Twitter. You see those two morons? Ah, all right. So I want to introduce you guys to CoinMarketCal. If you're not familiar with this, CoinMarketCalculator. It's kind of slow to look. I think more people know about it, but what you can do is you can take a look at what's happening, what's going to happen. And actually I learned this one from JRNY Crypto. He's the one that I saw it on first. So I'll give him all the credit on this one. And this is, that's kind of weird. One, two, three, four, four, six, six. Sure enough. Okay. Don't want to give that XRP the number five position, huh? Okay. I just like to rile up the XRP army to see what we're doing. So like, you will see here the number of upcoming events and out of 100, which indicates if it's like really good or not really good. And none of this is an index out of 100. So like Ethereum, that's got an upcoming event. What is that event? Let's see. I'm going to guess probably EIP 1559, London hard fork. And of course it doesn't say anybody 2.0. Let me ask you this. I saw on the screen there an NFT marketplace release. Let me ask you where your thoughts are on NFTs right now. I think right now they're kind of unusable. I mean, people can still get them if they want to pay a lot of money, but that really negates a lot of people to get into it, right? That's the, hold on, let me stop this. Wasn't it the whole point of cryptocurrency was to first of all, eliminate the middle man, give unbank ourselves, and then be able to have reduced transaction costs, save money, and everybody could kind of be in a better financial situation. So for NFTs, when I see these things, I'm like, well, this sounds good, but then I'm like, especially for artists and things, but it's so much money unless you're like a Banksy or something like that. Or you put out something that's like tens of thousands of dollars, like crypto punks and things on the such. But as far as, as it is right now, if you have like a starving artist or something like that, they want to do NFTs, you're not doing NFTs. You're just not. That's what I think, it's the exact opposite. And I even talked about this in Twitter. I said, you know, think about it this way. And I am not a big fan of my banks, except for USA, I do like them, they're great. Had it since I was in the military. Right now it is cheaper to send money on a wire transfer, old fashioned ways, and sometimes even faster using Wells Fargo than it is to use Ethereum. But that's sinking. That's not what we're here for. This isn't, I mean, we're not supposed to be on par with the banks or losing to the banks. We should be actually beating the banks. And Ethereum is, that's not how I see it going. So that's just my two cents. Do you know that guy, Gary Vee? Yeah, Gary Venecek. He started a whole NFT thing, you know, and it's launched this whole, I don't know. I feel like there was a cycle of NFT hype and now it's kind of, you know, cooled down. Gary Vee was also the guy that said that audio and speech recognition was gonna take over the world as far as like social media. And he was big on to like Facebook talk or whatever it was. And I was like, yeah, we'll see. And then Gary's one of those guys that tries to get in front of everything. Yes. And sure, you know, if it works, it works. I mean, NFTs can be great in gaming, I think it's gonna be fantastic. But art, like I've always said, there's different levels of art. There's art over at Christie's that you can buy for millions. And there's art that you're gonna get at the back of Walmart. And I think that's where NFTs are going. You're gonna have like some super expensive ones and some ones are just like, oh, look, it's a dog's playing pool. Oh, I don't know, whatever. And that's how it goes. I have that in my living room, no, I'm just joking. That's because you're classy now. Stay classy. So that is essentially it. Let me, whoops, wrong one. Let me break into the comments and then we'll wrap it up. But still price predictions. So if you're late, this is what I tell the whole thumbnail. So someone, no one accuses me of being click baby, even though sometimes what are you gonna do? We talked about the different cryptos that I would recommend to my wife. And as far as like risk to reward, I still say Bitcoin if you wanna be super safe and conservative, but a little bit only in there. And then the next one is, I've been talking about Cardano since it was in Pennies. And I've actually been recommending to my wife since it's been around 80 cents. Now we're at 220. And I tell her, even this morning, she goes, because she's gonna do a sale of some property. And she's like, what do we do with this? And I was like, well, first of all, thanks for asking. Cause that's always nice when I'm involved in this, even though like, you know, she's like, ah, this guy's in moron. But I'm like, you know what? If you're gonna put it into something, put it into Cardano because it's gonna go up. And the reason is because the infrastructure that is gonna come forward. I'm not gonna tell her to do like some crazy Shiba Inu dogecoin type of play because it's too risky. So I'll tell her, I'll tell the people I see in the streets, Cardano, a little bit of polka dot. And then Ethereum, I don't really have much faith into it. The best it can do is a 2X and that's about it. And right now, I mean, even like Cardano, my price prediction was about between $3 and $5, which is super conservative. Alex's price prediction for Cardano was 10 bucks. So that's what I always say. And there's other projects out there that are great. I'm not saying that, I mean, how many cryptos do you own, Alex? Just the top of your head. How many cryptos do I currently have in a portfolio? Yeah, like projects, like two projects, a million projects. No, no, no, no, no, no. Total crypto is eight cryptos in the portfolio right now. Very nice. I've got like, mine keeps growing. Now it's like 40 or something, or 30. I go in and out. I go in and out. Yeah, I've been heavy into avalanche lately. I think this is happening. I think Gavax is a great, is a great speculative project to be in right now. I mean, we discuss it. You discuss everything going on with Ethereum to no end. I know. And the next thing, the next thing I'm gonna get into, similar to these deep dives, is all of these Cardano type of projects that are coming up. I think they're gonna be pretty big, but who knows, only time will tell. And that's my recap. All right, that's it. What else you got, Alex? Any last words of inspiration and wisdom? No parting words. Going, you know, we're halfway through the month, definitely on the short term, looking for what's gonna happen tomorrow evening into Monday, as usual, and then keeping an eye on the open interests for Bitcoin options to kind of try to forecast what's gonna, the month's gonna end up. So that's all we're doing back at headquarters. Yeah. And as a reminder, check out Alex Mascioli's show. He just had two of the bright guys, CJ and Monty from Market Rebellion, and they said that their low was 47,500. That's correct. And when I heard that yesterday, I'm like, they're full of it. And of course, what is it now? 48,000 something hundred. So look out for that level. And that's it. Sony Bo, if you liked the video, found a little value, give it a thumbs up, consider subscribing, and that's it for today. We might hit you up tomorrow, but that's all for this one.

Learning management systems are an integral part of the research continuum. Anything that we can do collectively to make content more accessible and discovery easier will enhance the continuum. Shared tools are an important step towards improvement. There is much value in a streamlined approach that is universal that works towards familiarity, ease, and consistency for our users. One of the many lessons learned during the pandemic is that we haven't done enough with infrastructure and interoperability to ensure stable and consistent access and use of resources. We also learn that when barriers are removed, the content is accessed and used more often and by many more types of users from many more locations globally. This initiative potentially removes barriers and thus improves the research. The more access and discovery exists, the more we all work towards a more equitable and potentially useful environment. We're behind this because for us, Muse, we want to ensure as many teachers and students have quality access. I'm truly grateful as a community we're working towards a goal together versus many disconnected and unique approaches. Beyond the benefits to the user, it's beneficial to the community to approach this in a way that embraces interoperability, which in my opinion is a more responsible way to use resources. We have used plan to ensure compatibility technically and be an advocate for the community to embrace a collective approach. As I mentioned, the lessons from the pandemic earlier, it's clear that we all need to speed up our roadmaps to ensure we are using technology to its capacity to ensure connectivity. I'd encourage educators, platform managers, developers, and content creators to contribute to this conversation. There's a value in critical mass in creating a consistent experience for users. There's also value in aggregating resources, as I think we all share the mission to connect users to content and experience content that supports a fluid research continuum to produce and support ongoing and new research. This project balances practicality and inspiration to create usefulness.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ6mmt5_onI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

We wanted to compute the virtual Euler number of this modular space of stable sheets of rank 2 with general classes C1. But OK. So over this virtual fundamental class of the tangent of the general class in the virtual dimension of the virtual tangent one. And so we had the Mojizuki's formula, which allows us to compute such a thing in terms of Hilbert's Keynes of points. So I will maybe review it. So if E over S times the modular space is a universal sheet, then we can look at classes. And if P of E is a polynomial in classes tau E of alpha k, which is just I push forward to the modular space. Some I've turned class of universal sheet kept with a push forward of a class alpha k, for case in the homology of S. So if I have any polynomial in these, then I can compute this integral of this over the modular space of sheaves in terms of something on Hilbert's Keynes of points. I mean, I will use the, maybe I will not precisely write down the formula, but anyway, we have somehow, we take C1, write it as a sum of two classes. We take the Zyverquitton invariant of the first. And we take the coefficient of S to the 0 of some expression A depending on A1, A2. We have C2 minus A1, A2 is some integer S, where I will not precisely say what this is, but psi. So this thing A1, A2, and S is the sum over all N1 plus N2 adding up to N integral over the product of these Hilbert schemes, points of a suitable expression, which is called psi A1, A2, N1, N2, S, which maybe later I will need to, at some point, to precise form, but maybe not now, anyway, we won't remember. OK, so this, what we, but this was a rather complicated expression, and so it means we can compute, instead of the modelized space of sheaves, we can compute on Hilbert schemes of points, but the price is that the formula becomes more complicated. And, but the point is that we do not know how to directly compute anything on this modelized space of sheaves, so it is an advantage we have at least a space that we understand reasonably well. And so we can try to compute. So if we want to apply this to the virtual Euler number, if you remember the definition of the tangent bundle, here we compute the virtual tangent bundle. This was a certain, essentially, some relative x. So if we, it follows by the Grotten-Dickry-Monroch applied to the projection from S times M to M, that this Cvd of Tm here is indeed, so vd is always the expected dimension, is of the form P of E. As before, it can be expressed in terms of these tau classes. And in the same way, if we look at chi minus y of this modelized space, virtual version, we again find by applying the virtual Euler gives that this is also of the form. So this is also the integral of some P of E over the modelized space. OK, so in both cases, and one can explicitly say, I mean, compute what these things are and express it, we will maybe see a bit more later. So that means, in particular, we can apply Mochizuka's formula to both these situations and also to many more general ones. Now, as I said, this expression is very complicated. So we cannot really directly understand it. So we will try to establish some properties to make it more palatable. And so these are two properties that we want, co-bordism invariance and multiplicativity, which will then allow us to reduce the computation to the case of toric surfaces and apply localization. So we have this thing that we want to compute. So in order to evaluate this expression, we have to compute this expression and then take the coefficient of s to the 0. So the expression is this. So first, if you don't know what to do with something, you put it into a generating function and hope that something emerges. So we make a generating function. So I write, say, z prime of s a1, so generating function, z prime of s, say a1, a2, this variable s and q. This is just the sum over all n bigger equal to 0 of this thing, ns, maybe q to the n, where q is a variable. There's some kind of partition function. And now we want to say something general about this. And the first thing we can say is that it only depends on the intersection numbers which are in this question. So this is the co-bordism invariance. So proposition, there's a polynomial, say, p tilde in all the numbers we have, say, a1 squared. So these are a1 and a2 are classes in the second homologous, or I can consider their intersection numbers. So I just want to look at the numbers a1 squared, a1 a2, a2 squared. And we can have a1 times ks, a2 times ks, and ks squared, and chi of os. So these are all the intersection numbers you can make out of the surface s and natural classes on the surface, and these a1, a2. And then the statement is such that this thing, a, a1, a2, ns, is equal to this polynomial. So I mean, universally there's one polynomial depending only on these, and then this is for all a1, a2, n, and s. So here I should have said, by definition, I write here maybe s to remember that this depends on s, p tilde of a1 squared, a1, a2, and so on, all the things that we have until chi of os. So this is the first thing. So this does not depend in some complicated general way on the geometry of the situation, but only on these intersection numbers. And in what? Well, yeah, I mean, I think there will be some, so if b1 is not equal to 0, I think I have to change the story with the Mojizuki formula a little bit. Also anyway, Mojizuki's formula was under the assumption that b1 is equal to 0, so one would have to first generalize the proof. I don't think there is a very serious problem here with the multiplicativity. I mean, it's something about Hilbert's schemes that's nothing really to do with b1, that you have this fact that it only depends on the numbers in the situation. But you first would have to establish a version of Mojizuki's formula. And I mean, there will be one, but it hasn't been done. And so that's it. And there might be few more terms. No, there could be some kind of something that happens in the picar group of the surface, maybe some intersection numbers, I would have to see. But it will be like this. I think at least for the wall-crossing formula, Munoz had some wall-crossing formula, which also when b1 is bigger than 0. And there are some additional terms in it, which have to do with what happens in the first co-molge of the surface. So maybe it's not just, you don't then just have intersection numbers in the second co-molge, but you also have to see what happens between the first and the third co-molge, and so on. So it's a bit OK. So this is some old, some modification of some old argument that I had with Ellingsoot and Lane. And it's based on some inductive scheme to understanding Hilbert's schemes of points. This is based inductive scheme to compute on Hilbert's schemes of points. We'll just kind of sketch what's going on here. It's based on the following observation. So whatever, it's actually not so difficult, but any proposition, I call it theorem, although it's actually not so difficult. If I take this universal family, so this was this instance variety between points and sub-schemes, such that x lies in the sub-scheme. So we look at this. And we also then, given this, we can also look at another instance variety, namely, we call it SNN plus 1. Some version of it was also related to these Nakajima operators. So this is another instance variety, namely we have a sub-scheme Z and W, where one is in the Hilbert scheme of N points. The other one is in the Hilbert scheme of N plus 1 points. And Z is a sub-scheme of W. And now these are, we have a relation here, namely this thing is the blow-up of, so we are here in the product of S times SN, along the universal sub-scheme. And it is also non-singular. I mean, it's actually not very difficult to prove. Obviously, you can see that if you are outside the universal sub-scheme, if you have a point and a sub-scheme which are disjoint from each other, you can make a sub-scheme of length one more by just adding the point to the sub-scheme. And you find that you can also somehow extend the sub-scheme precisely by going to the blow-up. Now, given this, you can, so this blow-up can be understood reasonably well. You know what the, you can say something about the normal sheaf and so on. So you can understand what happens in this blow-up, also the homology classes. And so therefore, you can make up the following inductive scheme. So we have here our Hilbert scheme of N points. Then we can go to this incidence variety by just kind of in this thing projecting to the second factor, if I call this QN. We can project here to the complementary factor S. And as you know, this was, this thing is the blow-up of S times SN minus 1 along this universal sub-scheme. So we can do the blow-down. And then we can, this was N minus 1. And now we can just leave always factors of S here and do the same to this factor. So we can have here, say, QN minus 1. This goes to S times SN minus 2 N minus 1. And PN minus 2 goes to S2 times SN minus 2. And we go on like this. Here we have S times S, what is it, N minus 2, times S12 maps to SN. I'm not sure I, maybe this is P1 and this is Q2. And so we have this picture. And so we want to somehow compute something on the Hilbert scheme of points. So alpha is a class on this. And we want to integrate it over the Hilbert scheme of points. Then we can pull it back here. Excuse me, the same integral. We can push it down here and we get the same integral. So this is the same. So first we pull it back. So this is S, the map has degree N here. This is the integral for SN minus 1 N of the QN star alpha. And then if I'm integrating over something and over the push forward to something, it's always the same. So this is 1 over N integral over PN minus 1 star QN up a star alpha. And then you can keep doing this. And in the end, you get the integral over just N for product of P1 star Q2 up a star and so on until PN minus 1 lower star QN up a star alpha. And each time you pull back, you get a factor, whatever the number of the Hilbert scheme is. So it's 1 over N factorial times this. So this is how we can compute it. And the point is, so to pull back in this context, it's always something trivial. So it's easy to come. That doesn't do anything. And the push forward is usually difficult because you have to understand the map well. But we understand this blow down well enough so that one can explicitly say what happens to many homology classes after being pushed forward when so one can actually figure out what this thing is. And so then we have just an integral over the Hilbert scheme, over the N for product of some homology classes which we can say of what kind they are. And then you will find it is such a polynomial. So this is this thing. So this is for the Hilbert scheme of points. In our case, well, anyway, we do integrals over Hilbert schemes of points so that some modifications maybe of the argument will be necessary for precisely our setting. But this is how it works in general. So the second nice property. We want one other property. So we get somehow that this thing is some polynomial in all these numbers. We don't know some. This is, in principle, we compute it here. But we kind of just keep track of what terms occur, not what precisely it is. So we have no clue what precisely this polynomial is. It would be very complicated to follow this procedure in detail, and maybe not even very advisable to try. But we can say one more thing which is the multiplicativity. Namely, I had this z prime, which was this generating function of, say, a1, a2, s. So it depended on s. And q, which was this generating function of these, so sum these things with n, q to the n. And so it's kind of, we pull out the constant term, so the coefficient of q to the 0, which one can easily compute. So this would be 2s times to the power chi of s times 2s to the holomorphic Euler characteristic of the line bundle. So I write it additively a1 minus a2 minus a1 times the same somehow the other way around. So these are line bundles. So a1 and a2 are line bundles. So I can take a2 to the, a2 tends a1 to the minus 1. And we take the holomorphic Euler characteristic. And so we get this expression. This is the term which does not depend on q and times something which without the prime now. And this is now power series starting with 1, which I can view as some form of a partition function. It's actually, as we would see, closely related to Nickasov partition function, a certain version of it. And then we have the following multiplicativity result. So there are, so instead of this being just a polynomial in these things for all each coefficient of n, we have that the whole generating function here is a product of power series to these as powers. So there are some power series a1 until a7, because if I'm not mistaken, these were seven numbers, which are power series, which are Laurent series in s and power series in q, with such that we can write this thing as a product over this. So this thing, zs a1, a2, sq, will be equal to a0 to the a1 squared, a1 to the a1 a2, a2 to the a2 squared, a3 to the a1 ks, a4 to the a2 ks. And now it doesn't seem to, so because I start with 0 for unknown reasons, it didn't seem to add up to 7, but if you start. So the canonical class a6 to the ks squared and a7 to the homomorphic Euler cryptos. So we have this description. I can also roughly say what the idea of the proof is. First, we have to remember that this thing here, if we look at this a, this was somehow the sum over n1 plus n2 is equal to n, some integral over product of n1 times n2 of something. Now note that if I take the Hilbert scheme, if I take the union of two surfaces, the disjoint union, and take the Hilbert scheme of points, the sub-scheme splits into one sub-scheme on one and one sub-scheme on the other. So this is just the disjoint union over n1 plus n2 is equal to n of the, OK? So that means that this thing is actually equal to the integral over s union s to the n of the same something, OK? So maybe I write, so let me write s bar equal to s union s. So now instead, obviously, then it also follows that if I take s1 bar, disjoint union s2 bar, this is the same with the bars. So the only thing one has to see, so check that, where is it? Write it anywhere? Yeah. So check that if I take this expression here, a something, so this was psi of something. So if I take psi and restrict it to, so this thing is disjoint union of these things, if I restrict it to such a factor, so here right now this is psi depending on s bar and n. So if I restrict this to s n1, so s bar n1 times s bar n2, then we would like this to be just psi of s bar n1 put back from the first factor times p2 upper star of n2. If this is the case, then it follows that each term in the sum is a product. And if you make the generating function, it becomes a product of the thing. So if you write s as a disjoint union of two surfaces, and I should also say that a1 is a1, 1 on 1 and a1, 2 on the other and the same for a2, if it then splits up like this, then it follows that the whole expression splits up as a product. So it follows then, so if this is true, then it follows that z of s1 union s2 where you have here, so to speak, a1 union a2. So it's a1, a1, 1 union a1, 2, a2, 2 union a2. And then whatever we have, we have sq. That this is just the product of the two factors of each of singular ones. So this is z, s1, a1. So we find that it's a product like this. And now, if I look at the triple, so if I look at these numbers, nobody has forced me that s has to be irreducible. So I can just, so I can use this to, so I can write my given, I can reproduce the numbers here by splitting up s, a1 and 2 into factors like this. And it will follow that it is a product and I can, by some manipulations, write it as a product of the terms where these corresponding numbers are so that one is 1 and all the other ones are 0. And this then will give me this ai and I get a product formula like this. So I said it a bit sketchy, but it is quite simple formula manipulation. And so then from this, so I just say from this result follows formula. So this is this multiplicativity. And so if we have this, then one should notice, well, OK. So in particular, so this generating function is determined by these numbers. So I just, in order to compute it for any surface and any a1 and a2, I only have to compute it for enough examples so that these generating functions are determined. So as we said, this Zs a1, a2, sq depends only on this seven tuple a1 squared, a1, a2, and so on. So in order to determine it for any s, a1, and a2, it is enough we need to determine it for seven examples where such that these corresponding seven tuples are linear independent. So maybe I call this nu s a1, a2 such that the nu s a1, a2 are linearly independent. And notice that I made the assumption that b1 of s is 0 and pg of s should be positive. So rational surfaces are not allowed. But this was for the original question. Now we are just evaluating this integral over the Hilbert scheme. We can take any surface we want. And so in particular, we can just choose examples where s is, for instance, either p2 or p1 times p1. So can choose these such that each time s is equal to p2 or s is equal to p1 times p1. That gives me enough numbers here if I change the line band. And so this is, in particular, s is a toric surface. So a toric surface means s-toric means we have a c-star times c-star action on s, which has a dense orbit and finitely many fixed points. But it may be justified with finitely many fixed points. So p1 to pE. So maybe we can say, but so we want to, now we will want to, in this case, we can compute by equivalent localization. This was already used in some other talks, but as mine is supposed to be slightly more elementary, I will explain it in an elementary way. So if x is a smooth projective variety, so this is actually just a port residue formula, with an action of a torus t equal to c-star to the k with finitely many fixed points, say p1 to pE. Then so if we look at the fixed point, so let p one of them. And so if I have, say, a vector bundle on x, I can, at the fixed point, so an equivalent vector bundle. So let e be a t equivalent vector bundle on x. Then I can, so then if I look at the fiber at the fixed point, the t will act on the fiber linearly. So then the fiber etE of p at p, at this fixed point, is a vector space with linear t action. So it splits, it has a basis of eigenvectors. So we can write ep is equal to the sum i equals 1 to the rank of the bundle of c times vi, where vi is an eigenvector. So if I have t1 to tk in the torus acting on it, this will act by some monomial. t1 to the n1 comma i times tk to the nk comma i, vi, where these nji are integers. So it just multiplies it by the monomial of these elements of c star. And then we can say the weight of this vector vi is w of vi, which is the sum j equals 1 to k of these nji. Epson j for these Epson j's. Epson 1 to Epson k are some variables. So these actually would be coordinates at the le algebra of the torus. But anyway, it's for us, it's just variables. And so then we can define some kind of the equivalent churn class of the fiber. This would be just the sum of the total churn class, the sum of the churn classes. And this will just be the product over all these vi's of the weight, 1 plus the weight of vi. So that is a polynomial in these Epson i's. This actually would be the equivalent churn class of this in equivalent comology. So this is actually, but we can also just do this polynomial. And so then the port residue formula tells us we can compute integrals in churn classes of such equivalent bundles by just computing with these things. So port residue formula, it says that so say we are given some equivalent bundles, e1 to es t equivalent vector bundles on our given x. And we are given any polynomial, so let p of, so I just write c of e1 until c of es, a polynomial in the churn classes of the ai. Then it follows that if we want to evaluate on x, this polynomial, we can do this by summing over the fixed points and looking at the same expression in terms of these equivalent things. So p of c of ct of 1 of p1 pj plus s. So we just evaluate this. This is some polynomial in these Epson i's. We divide by what would be the top churn class, so the dimension of x, of the tangent bundle also equivalently. So this will now be a rational function Epson 1 to Epson s. And for instance, if I just put these equivalent variables all equal to, so this will turn out to be regular in Epson 1 to Epson k. If I put them all equal to 0, then this gives me this expression. OK, so this is the spot residue formula. And so one can apply this to our situation. So we have to see how this works on Hilbert's schemes of points. And maybe for, I mean, OK, this was also used in some form already in other lectures. But I wanted to, maybe it's also useful for those who haven't seen this before. So we take such a smooth projective toric surface. And we have indeed, so that is t equal to c star squared x with fine-term and fixed points, p1. So pE, say. So under the assumption that it's a toric surface, we actually have local coordinates near the fixed point, which are eigenvectors for the actions. So they are coordinates xi, yi at pi for all i, which are eigenvectors. So such that, say, t equal to t1, t2 in tx pi t times, say, xi is equal to, say, t1 to the n1, i, t2 to the n2, i, times, as a bit even more complicated. Let me see. Yeah, why not? No, now I have to see how I get the numbers right. So this maybe uses n1, i. This is m1, i. And then t times yi equal to t1 to the n2, i, times yi. So these are eigenvectors where these are, again, these powers. So we have the weight of xi will be, according to this, n1, i, epsilon1 plus n2, i, epsilon2. And the same here. This was m1, i. And here you have n2, i, epsilon1 plus m2, i, epsilon2. So it's very simple. So we have this action. We find many fixed points. And we can see the action. So now this action will lift to the Hilbert Schemes of points. So action lifts to the Hilbert Schemes of endpoints on s. Namely, you can just say if you have a sub-scheme z, you can just, so if I want t times z, you can just take this as t of z. Because t, after all, it acts on s from s to s is an isomorphism. So if z is a fixed point, then it follows the support of z is a union of fixed points. So it's contained, so is union of fixed points. And so therefore, we can write z equal to z1 until ze, where the zi, so zi, support it at pi. And so that is, zi is given by an ideal in c xi yi, which, or if you want, which has a, which, of finite code I mentioned with support at the origin in this. So, and it should be, and this ideal, i xi. So, and this ideal should also be invariant under the action. So i xi is t invariant. And under our assumption, this can only be possible if it's generated by monomials. So that means we can write i xi as yi to the, say, m0, yi to the m1 times xi, and so on. So yi to the mr, yi to the r, what? Yi to the mrx to the r, and then find the x to the r plus 1. And obviously, these numbers must decrease. So m0, bigger equal to m1, bigger equal to mr. And now the, the sum of these numbers is the length of the sub-scheme zi, or the degree of the sub-scheme zi. So, and on the other hand, the sum of these, the length of the sub-scheme is the, is the number n. So that means that we have a bijection between the fixed points on the Hilbert scheme and tuples of partitions of n, or tuples of partitions, so that the total, the sum of the numbers partitions is n. So we get a bijection fixed points, t fixed points on Sn. And so this would be e tuples partitions of numbers adding up to n. OK, so we can therefore apply. So now in our particular case, we have always a product of two Hilbert schemes. So if we compute, so for us for this thing, a s, a1, a2, n, s, or Sn, I don't remember, maybe ns. We do have the, what we are computing is the integral over something over s union sn of this psi. So in this case, we have to, the bot residue formula will give us a formula, will give a sum over two e tuples of partitions, because we have two copies. OK. And I will maybe congest. And now I cannot really start something new. So the first, so the thing is that the fibers at the fixed points on the Hilbert schemes of all the universal sheets we are considering, so of this tangent bundle of the Hilbert scheme, or this Q of I, a1, I, 1, a1, I, 2, a2, or this taut logical bundle. So the fibers of, so here we have some, in this Q with some extension groups, so and here we have this taut logical bundles. So all can be described in terms of the combinatorics of partitions. We'll maybe explain this a bit next time. So that means we get a combinatorial formula for this expression, this a, and therefore also for this partition function zs. So there's also another thing which I will explain next time. Namely, one also finds there is a, if one looks at the expression, it has a very close relation to the neckers of partition function. And we can, we'll see this next time. I think my time is up. So we see each other. Anyway, thank you very much.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZW-mlHYxZo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC7SbfAPZf8SMvAxp8t51qtQ	Debian event howto	by Alexander "Tolimar" Schmehl At: DebConf7 https://debconf7.debconf.org/ Room: Basement Talk Room Scheduled start: 2007-06-09 00:09:45	[ "debian", "debconf", "debconf7" ]	2017-11-23T13:41:54	2024-04-24T00:14:32	3,307	vZfb_hHBcdo	So if you are clapping by just seeing my slides, why do I need to talk anything? Okay so Here we are As most of you might already know I'm tolima I Have in the past time very very much free time. So I spent a lot of my daily work on organizing various Debian presentations at fairs exhibitions world shows and well Actually, I've been everywhere who wanted to have Debian there. So could I have please the next slide? So why I am now here is Said we have a small problem Debian gets invited to many many events ranging from South Korea to Toronto to some South American events actually, I Countered last year how many invitations the Debian project got and I think it was Around 15 invitations which we needed to Decline thanks just simply because we didn't found a volunteer to take the time and Present Debian at the small event The funny thing is That's just a pity. There are people who want us to appear some even white really beautiful males Dear Debian project. We want you. Please come visit us. We are such nice people and we really want to have you here And well, all we can say is Sorry We tried we didn't find a volunteer perhaps next year That's not nice so but The funny thing is That it's not really Complicated, I mean We have some how-tos you need to write some mails You need to be polite So that would be the small summarize of my talk and well In you know When I got involved in the Debian project The first thing I made was organizing the Debian presentation at the Linux World Expo in Frankfurt It was the first event I organized It is while it was back then one of the two major free software events in Germany and Well, it went pretty well. I didn't fail Also, I didn't had any experience It went well visitors were happy. We got some good feedback Well, so believe me if I say that organizing the booth is easy So at first please the next slide Since I know it's early in the morning and that you might not have got your coffee Well, perhaps we start with a small brainstorming What do you think is needed for a? Good event Okay for the video the answer was coffee Interestingly, we will come we will come to that point later So I think t-shirts are very important because all the people come to the Debian booth and want to buy a t-shirt Could you please stand up? So and but where's the camera here good. He is wearing a t-shirt. It's one of those Oh, that's another one. Okay. He's wearing a Debian t-shirt and I think it's one of the UK style t-shirts you bought so that's Possibly a major important point because on many events people will simply come to the Debian booth to buy some merchandising stuff Oh damn anyone has a keychain one of our keychains Another example is So key chains here where you can put your key or anything else and Show beautiful how you like Debian Just by wearing it That's a major point What is it? They're just talking about merchandising People come to Debian booths because they love Debian and they want to show it They won't do this at any event for example You might get to some business orientated Linux event Where people might be more interested in a nice ties and a cool t-shirt so you We get to that point later. So What did you say Andreas? What was what do you need name tags? Name tags That's another major important point People who go to a booth don't want to talk to an Anonymous representative they want to talk to a real person as Funny as it sounds by wearing a name tag and giving them the chance to you give them the chance to see you as a person not just some Yes, I'm someone who is majorly involved and might know what he's saying by just said you show them your name They will trust you more Sounds funny, but some Psychologists might be explained it better than I but it's That's it. You need a name Um, yeah, it's an Amazon point if I think Yeah, yeah Yeah, I am I stand up. Yeah probably something more attractive that That only volunteers so not only a few geeks around the booth But something nice to show to people and catch their eye or something that's a demo or whatever That's this is what I think makes a good or bad both Don't worry. I will mention your bubble box so Yeah Maybe even more important. You need a code of conduct for those manning the booth You're there to help the people who come and look and not to code and hack Yeah, I think I have a picture of some We will take a look at some Example booths later. So anything else you need good point Well For something completely different what about giving away DVD CDs Might be sound very strange people come to the Debian booth to get a Debian DVD but events where That was forgotten You don't need to have some sponsored pressed DVDs or some special editions with The latest bagpots or something It's cool. If you can organize a shut thing, but Having the possibility to burn Okay, first she's in there but having the possibility to to Burn images on demand It's okay most is often okay so People will come to you to your booth as for CD or DVD They are often satisfied if you tell them wait, please give me five minutes and come back. I will Need to burn it. Of course, you need to have playing CDs and the images ready That's okay That's a nice thing is that The people won't go away for five minutes So they will Stand with you. You can have a nice chat with them It's not a kind of fan forget things. Oh, oh, you have CDs. Oh, thanks. Bye you have the More or less unique possibility to to draw them deeper into the project Perhaps tell them how to report bugs or show them how to use Depth tags or something or point out how Good deviant is internationalized We we we had visitors at booth who didn't know that the installer is available in their own mother tongue you Okay, she and then you Well, I've often seen that people come to a DB and I'm speaking in this camera, you know That that people come to the DB and booth for technical support So it's probably better to have a quiet spot on the side where you can take them And fix their stuff because I've often seen that they come with their laptops or even with fully fledged computers and ask you to fix some minor or major problem and it's Think it's good if if they don't really block the booth itself But you can take them to a nice spot on the side and said well, of course somebody can help you if you'll have a seat here We'll take care of it Which leads us more or less to his point the code of conduct We had events where We had such a small silent area Which we couldn't use for fixing visitors computers because I was sitting DD's hacking I know it's quite unusual to sit somewhere and heck But what it happens, so if you I have my personal assistant to hack for me Or I think, you know, if you have such area it's okay, but you need a strict code of conduct to not sit there and hack I've got a question to the code of conduct We are all volunteers So I think it would be really hard to Tell the people if you like to help us at the boot There's a code of conduct that you have to have to follow. I Think a lot of people say yeah, then I would do not help you and then you do not have enough people to to do the booth Well, we We have a code of conduct to Maintain your packages properly. You need to fix your box and also and it's pretty much the same with volunteers you Have a volunteer who wants to do some job and well, we have a small Minimum criteria which they should fulfill. I Well, I I don't know of any volunteer has been thrown away because we told him to behave a little bit so Okay, now finally you on the CDs We found that charging a minimal fee for them will make it so we can have at least run out During the middle of the second day instead of the first hour it's What's the translation of Anyone knows the translation of the German idiom Beutelraten Backpack wetsk, you know Yeah, it's usually a good idea in What might be problematic is that if you got your CDs or DVDs sponsored by some people and Then again charge money if you give them away What we usually do in Germany to solve that problem is that we Give the CDs away against or against For a donation of at least no sand zero sand So it's it's a So it's some kind of you give me you give me money It's much as much as you want and I give you a CD This was away those Packwets thanks Which will just come take a CD and throw it away later But it's still okay for most of the others of Course is there's a Smallish kid 12 year old You're a deep developer. Could I please have a DVD? Could you sign it for me? Which happens I Don't think it's necessary to charge them any money for the DVD Okay, I think we mentioned pretty much every point and Yeah, if people see that it's a Debian booth, it's a good idea Yeah, so there's a point Mr. Fine mentioned was that it is good to have some posters and flyers Flyers are especially important because your visitors will then Remember that you've been there That they have been there Most probably even what you were talking about which is a major point Another point Which I would like to mention this Said you should try to have at least one Debian developer nearby I know it's ridiculous to say that at the Debian conference but Hands up who is not a Debian developer in this room Okay, okay so As But as you know if you want to join the Debian project you need your GPG Your GPG key signed by at least one developer So there are people who are interested in joining the project Coming to your booth and asking your key to be signed It's their key to be signed. Sorry. I'm a bit confused It's okay to tell them, sorry, I'm not a DD yet But I can sign anyway if you want your key to be signed Wait for an hour, then we'll be Mr. Fine here who is a DD who can sign you? It's even okay if you answer something like I'm sorry We have not a DD here yet, but he will be here Tomorrow at 12 or something like that. Just give them the opportunity to have the key signed. They are really really Not to say pissed off but disappointed if they travel to an event Meet some Debian folks But well, it's for them Nothing more than a nice chat So Anything else left? Okay please okay The answer was have a piece of paper and a pencil you can write down what you tell your visitors I'm impressed I would have things that if I do a talk set Such early in the morning. I need to do anything myself. Okay, so I'm gonna have but it's the next slide So next slide Okay, a Small example of a booze Okay, who can tell me what these guys are doing wrong They're facing away from the crowds Okay, so does one point that is not the point I would like to have mentioned Perhaps you come a bit nearer to the picture and he will recognize it yourself and won't beat my also Roman in the crowd I think the background of the desktop is does not fit to the booth Okay What's hard to see if you are sitting back this is a well more or less naked woman It might work at the booth at a some kind of Porn or woman-related event. I don't think it's a proper thing to do at the free software conference Yeah, but but that's a good example. I didn't notice the people are facing away from the visitors Please it's not the avian It's I don't know what it is. It's not a debian booze If if it had been a dubian booth I guess I would have had a big dubian logo, which is missing so says I See another I think major fault on it on the right side. They have a lot of space for poster But only put a for Small printout on it. So they do not use the space they have and if you're standing maybe two meters from this sign You cannot read it That's not even their own. That's the sign So the organizer of the event put there so they will find their booze So they didn't even print something themselves so Yeah, I I hate it if I see such thing because I consider it just a waste of the resources of the organizers who are Offering the booth for free and the least thing you can do is to try to organize a proper booth What is another arrow that can't really be seen on the picture very well is that what the people were doing is not actually like demoing their system emulation Software but they were playing they were playing a game on the on the left laptop Where you had to answer quiz questions and for every wide question a nice lady would undress herself a bit more They were destructed let's say they generally were distracted by non-booth activities And I think we can agree that people who should stay for Debian booth Should agree in a code of contact to not do such things Please give me this next example. Okay another point Not really another point But what I wanted to say before in the brainstorming section it would be nice if we had some well Debian boost package something like that all of Debian boost live CD which Brings a default booth Layout to the computers we have It's on my to do It's on my to do list for about two years. I think it will be Done within the next ten Okay Here we have That is a Debian booth from last Linux tag Actually, it isn't the picture I was looking for but it's for Best picture of that boost I could find it's not your fault. It's my fault Okay Now image in what we have already said We have some Debian stuff. You can see more or less that this is the Debian booth We have here an empty area where you can talk with people about the problems What do you think happens The first impression is that it is quite it is really not crowded by people so it's not really attracted for people So we should serve some coffee What happened later that day that people showed up that some Debian folks Debian folks woke up and they immediately crowded This part of the booth Put up their notebooks started taking chatting All the stuff you use you usually don't do at an event What you can see is that they tried to put some some stuff on to Show here is Debian I Don't think it is working very well, but actually I don't know how I would have done it any better Because the booth itself didn't have much opportunity for to show your own thing What would probably be nice is if you have here a really big red swill For people to see it And Another thing you could see is You see this kind it's a two-sided kind of booths And what you apparently don't see us that this booth is small as empty So at this Debian booth there was exactly one computer To show Debian stuff and Well This mission was either buzzy And all people didn't know the password or whatever to use it to show some stuff And not not not imagine the situation you are a volunteer For Debian booth You get there you see a visitor who's waiting and apparently has a question and Yeah, there's this computer you could use to answer his questions or to at least help him By showing him the right mailing list to ask or the right I at sea channel And you can't do it because you don't know the fucking password So another point which we should have added previously in the brainstorming is that you Communicate to your volunteers That you make sure that they know how to use the computers What questions could arise? And all the and all that stuff I mean What's generally a good idea is to prepare some kind of FAQs you can expect at the event depending of the kind of event you are going to Stuff like when will edge be released or Well, how does support for the Debian distribution work? And of course the people at the booth Should be able to answer the most common questions And I Think that's pretty much about that example What about having some kind of advocacy when brainstorming Some advocacy of what's really cool is Debian Waves this kind of computer or this That's I think that's part of communicating with your volunteers And of course it's it's a major part of the role of organizing such event to inform yourself of the nature of the event For example, if you go to see bit People might be interested in seeing how Debian runs on the AMD 64 port They might not be that interested in seeing how Debian runs on the HPPA port to give one example, so There was one other. Oh you I Think common problem that that I often see on Debian booths is that The people who are advertising Debian there have been using it for years And when they are asked what's so great about Debian like visitor comes by and says so, okay What's what's about this this OS? They will say the things that they like most about it at the moment like yeah, you know We now have 64 bit support and we have this that and you can compile some things in this that way Because yes Debian also is highly stable It's running on thousands and millions of languages, but it's always been like that So we don't realize that anymore as such a special feature So but to somebody who's who's totally ambient to Debian This is actually what's much more important than say the umpteenth port on whatever other architecture but People aren't aware of it because we've been with Debian for years and it's been doing that for years So for us, it's normal. So maybe it would be good to have a like a list of things To to to mention or to show maybe a poster that people can just read or something Or if you have some kind of Beamer projector What about a nice set of slides Running there in a loop mode showing the most important Information for your visitors Having a poster is nice But you can't You can't react to visitors with a poster if you see that Most of your visitors ask a question which isn't answered on your poster You can well put posted notes on it or something like that I Think it's a better idea to to just change your change your change your slides Okay, last example, please Okay said was the booze at at No, it was in this millennium. I think it was a small booze in in In Yes, no, but it's kind of land such in Deutschland Frankreich and Luxembourg Sorry Okay, this is the Debian booze at an event in Luxembourg It's a nice thing is that we could find many many things to improve here but Forget it several no visitors at that event and so it would have been wasted time to do a proper booze more or less It's just another example of well we we have here You could guess it's Bag of those key change key chains. So we have to attempt to have some merchandising here It could have been well better placed Please there's fancy hardware which didn't work very well at that event Original we had some posters right here, which you can Which you can't see even if the picture was utter because the organizer of that event Asked us to turn them down from the walls Yeah What you can see here is someone with a back to the visitors Not very nice if there had been visitors What you can't see on this picture is that this is an example of an event where no deviant developer was present So we couldn't do much things Christoph back wasn't DD at that time It's an older picture. I think from 2004 one second So doing the event we had the idea to to Well use it to do some buck squashing all that kind of stuff But it was a bit complicated because we had no DD there to sign our packages When I was just start had only been using Debian for a few months I wound up You know, I volunteered to help with the booth and wound up running the booth for and Without any help It's try and get at least two people for the whole day, maybe if there's not it maybe if it's a Lightly attended event like that. You don't need two people the whole day, but the events I've gone to To his absolute minimum Make sure and get your booth set up before the event opens and We would really like to have a nice banner, but it's a money problem in General it shouldn't be a money problem if you Wired a nice mail to our be love DPL Asking them for some money for To print some posters and flyers small banner and that kind of stuff We didn't have any problems with that in the past Yeah, what one final thing I would like to mention Another point you can't see on this pictures So you went took place in the inner suburb of Luxembourg Pretty much away from anything so we were sitting there the whole day waiting for a visitor and Nothing to eat nothing to drink and Well, well we had internet We could have tried to find some pizzeria to order some food something like that But it it sucked say that so If you organize the booth and have your volunteers here the least thing you can do is to take care of them and I've still some time left. I think so at least no one is throwing me out. So I will continue Yeah, take care of your volunteers one point You might need them next year when the event takes place again Point number two You can't expect your volunteers to be nice to Your visitors if they are hungry thirsty and don't have been on the toilet for the last six hours Nothing so so try to organize Something to drink some some Sandwiches bread falls anything just so they have the possibility to Take something to eat hide behind some kind of wall so they won't be seen and eat their stuff In general, it's not looking very nice if there are People many staffing the booth Having or They're Filled with food or if the visitor has come and asked You should try to avoid that so you have Yeah, about the volunteers. I think one of most important point especially in crowded events is to Identify the volunteers to be so that visitors know who is a volunteer and who is not so asking them politely At least to wear a debian t-shirt would be a good idea so that they are immediately identified as the debian people and the volunteers of the of the booth We had such experience in the solution Linux front in France, which is very very crowded with many volunteers But no one knows who is the volunteer? if you can Try to set some kind of standard so for example in one year we had a Big sponsor for the Linux tag so we used part of that money to to Create a common set of polo shirts With all the same logo and all looking the same because the problem you might have said all your volunteers are Boring some kind of debian shirt But all your visitors are wearing them too So you have a point to it, okay Yes, always make sure when you accept an invitation to man a booth that there will be somebody there I Know really I was invited once No, really we got an invitation once to to a to a business oriented Exhibition so I said yes, of course. Well, it was in another city So I didn't really know who was there, but they said well I can go but it was in the same time as they've come So I didn't have anybody to send it. Well, I thought they were we would willing But in the end well having an empty booth is not nice for the organizers. So we never got invited again and it's disappointing for your visitors to because they Well, it happens that people just go to an event because they read that Debian will be there It happens especially if they want some key signing or something like that So ten minutes. Oh, so if a good timing so To summarize up next slide, please Inform yourself about the event What is it kind of it will it be visited by business people or will it be visited by geeks? If it's visited by Geeks, you might want to wear your cool shirt If it's visited by business people You might want to at least wear trousers without holes in it Well sometimes You even want to wear a real Shirt not a t-shirt and maybe even a sack hole and take care of your hair. Okay, so Next point What questions will they ask? will they be more interested in Getting their own software into Debian or will there be mainly users who might have some kind of technical problem with Their preferred desktop environment or something like that It's no problem. It's okay if you don't know the answer What you should be able to is to point them somewhere where they can find the answer So if they are KDE users Or something like that you might want them to the To the user list in their language if they have a problem packaging their software You want to point them to the mentors list even if you don't know how to Start that KDE software or fix that deep edge problems. They have Just a question. I haven't read the the booth how tools but is there some kind of well Frequently asked questions of visitors up. So for instance, what is the best distribution and what is the answer to this question? Yes, I'll show you the URLs later on the second-last slide I think so Yeah, what can you do to answer that questions? So next slide please and As said take care about your volunteers Okay, take care about your volunteers They must be happy to make your visitors happy Yeah, give the next one if you are at a larger event It might be happen that sooner or later your volunteers or even yourself burn out If you get asked the same stupid question 20 or 30 times a day and you need to answer it more or less the same way It's Boring and just Burning out so If you notice that you Or any other volunteer at the Debian booth show signs of being Not as nice as I usually are is giving answers to visitors with a slight tone of being Annoyed You might want to Try to tell them politely to take a small break It it happens it happens even to well professionals like me I hope you saw that I Had quotation marks about the professionals I said and And before you Fuck up with visitors take a break go ten minutes walking around Preferably somewhere far far away from the place where the event takes place Take a walk look a little bit. It's a sunshine problem most probably don't even take your notebook and We'd even private a project or something like that. That's a pretty stupid idea if you want to Clear up your mind So you might need a break So last slide please So We have already written down some how-to's It's a major Debian website even translated in many many languages And something is a wiki which is more up-to-date and Here are the frequently asked questions. I think They might need an update in the meantime because we released edge So That's all as my talk of course we are free to discuss until we are thrown out here Yes, it would be nice if there was a Current flyer that we could just print out I Notice for our event We there was a a flyer that was a little bit out of date and formatted for a Three or a four or whatever the European standard format and so didn't fit on letter-sized paper and we had to Munch it around and it was still quite out of date and Actually this is this Flyer with this with which is made with latte and translated into many languages which is used by I Think many events So there's code of that flyer is somewhere mentioned on the first URL and Well, I think that it is maintained on alias So feel free to help us maintaining it and make it fit on your paper But I think we have the a4 version of this flyer with one side German one side English and we have printed several thousand things and Maybe we should just spend some money the Debian project has to send For example 300 of the flyers to other people that are stuffing a booth in a English speaking country So it's it's I think much nicer because they're really good printed and And nobody has to get the slartish file adjusted Find somebody who prints 20 or 50 things We already have them in a huge amount or can produce them and then we just have to chip them to other events Yeah Yeah, feel free to ask for help for resources for merchandising stuff We have a lot of Stuff flyers t-shirts key chains. I think we have still several thousand key chains available Not here Okay What I forgot to add to my slides is that's a several mailing lists where which you can use to coordinate your event to ask for help and The least thing you should do is to write a mail to events at Debian orc They can help you they can try to advertise your event they can add your Event to our home page so people will know that you are there and all the kind of stuff and And well that they can create contact if you need flyers and he has some We most likely know it So I'd like to give us another recommendation Maybe more work to do but after the event it could be a good idea to write down a small report and Post it to the Debian events dash na or dash EU mailing list It's probably interesting for others to know how it went and what happened at the event Yeah Might be even more interesting if So there's a main organizer from the demons that of the event changes over the years So he can take a look at old reports to Get a feeling about the event What has gone wrong? What could have been done? What could have been done better for that kind of stuff? Yeah It does also help a lot to have a place where you can put some stuff which is easily accessible and Which cannot be seen like from everywhere around because people will bring Bags and a lot of stuff and it just does not look nice if that's lying around somewhere on the booth and Yes, we had that picture of Linux talk and there was actually a lot of place But it could just be accessed through that top. So When there was something standing on it, you could not get there and well, it just sucked Yes Correctly, but there was no other place to put stuff. So Well, the Things that were standing around there were provided by the organizers and so you might talk to them before the event and check what kinds of stuff will be available and Yes, that might help. I Think that's already part in the how-to-three vote That you take care about that I'd like to Advertise a bit further the how-to's on Degebion wiki because What they mainly hold is an extensive list of extensive checklists that are really handy There's checklists there. For example, what you need for a booth They hold all the things that you always need and never bring like adhesive tape or Yeah for you because everybody brings a poster but nobody brings tape that's what usually happens And so there's a list what to bring for the booth There's lists when you try to when you want to write reports on the event like what information should be included in the report Those lists are also separated like what kind of information should go into an official report And what kind of information should go into an intern report to other developers? and then there's also a Draft code of conduct that is loose enough so people don't feel annoyed by it, but it's still well guarantees for us for a minimum minimum amount of Decency So there's there's lots and lots of lists there that you can just print out and take off So they're really handy and I just keep on talking until somebody takes this mic off me No, I have my own Okay, so time's up If you like Just wait to catch me while I'm here. We can talk Further if you have any points left, which I didn't mention yet Or just what the email is it to me or I said to events at DB and org So many thanks for showing up I'm really impressed to see That many people here even early in the morning I'm especially impressed to see you more or less awake many thanks	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZfb_hHBcdo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCLI5I1QwKqQn0Cf4nzdGKeQ	Week 7: Lecture 18D	Week 7: Lecture 18D: Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) for mesoscopic structure	[ "SANS", "Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS)", "Guinier approximation", "Porod’s law" ]	2022-09-02T06:02:23	2024-02-05T06:11:25	1,055	VzBTnSk2tmY	Let me come down to the instruments. I will primarily focus on the instruments that we have at Dhruva. But I will also use examples, some of the extremely interesting and tough experiments that have been done using sands technique. So we have two instruments, sands one if I may call it, sands one and this is sands two. Both of them are Dhruva guide hall and one is based on, I will explain it to you on velocity selector today. Earlier it was a beryllium oxide filter beam. Most importantly for most of the sands experiments because you are doing experiments at a large angle, at a small angle, large distances are involved because you have to collimate the beam very nicely. So the same thing has been used by us for this. So you can see the flight path, but this is not the largest that you can think. For example, if you go to an advanced neutron source, very advanced neutron source where you have got a cold neutron source, you can afford to lose some neutrons. These flights pass a typically 15 to 30 meter round and then a sample comes. Here the samples is an old photograph, falls on a one-dimensional detector, that is one technique. This is another interesting instrument where we don't take it to a large flight path, but what we do actually here, there are two silicon single crystals, very interesting. Silicon single crystals, they have very small mosaic spray. Actually they have got Darwin width, what is known as Darwin width. For a single crystal, the reflected beam is very narrow, very narrow. Few arc seconds, a bright diffracted beam, angle or Q whatever, it's very narrow. This is few arc seconds. Now also it has some mosaic spray if it all. So now if I use two single crystals in parallel beam geometry for at a certain angle, angle should be same. If I rock this crystal, second crystal, keeping that fixed, then the rocking curve actually gives the width of the beam from the first crystal. So you get a very, very narrow beam in intensity. So it's called rocking curve, if you rock it. It's a very narrow beam, which will be a Darwin width ideally of the first crystal, because this is a single crystal, silicon single crystal, which gives me Darwin width. Now after the first crystal, if I put my sample here, it may sample here, then this sample causes small angle neutron scattering of the beam. And then when I rock this one, I watch or I observe the widened beam. So if there is a widening of the beam, I'm just excellent. So now I have got a beam without sample and beam with sample. And now this can measure because this beam is very narrow. It's a rocking curve or it's a rocking curve which captures the Darwin width of the first crystal. This is being a single crystal. So I can see very small Q intensity. Interesting, because when I do a conventional, conventional, conventional small angle neutron diffraction, I have got a very, very narrow beam and I go to a very far place so that the beam spreads out on the detector and I can measure them. And I can measure the small angles at very small angles. This is one technique, most commonly used technique. But the other technique is that using the rocking curve and we are using this rocking curve for one sense machine. So we have got two of these small angle neutron scattering machines. One using the rocking curve principle. One is a common one in which the beam travels through a long path. Then there's a sample after that. This is the detector shielding in which the beam travels. And there's a one meter position sensitive detector or PSD to capture the beam in this case. So this is a schematic from this reference. So we earlier we had this lambda equal to we have a guide which allows the neutron beam to go. So I don't know whether you remember this. We talked about neutron guides. Neutron guides are actually optical fibers for neutrons where neutrons travel through total external reflection over large parts. We have a guide which is 34 meter long and where after 34 meters we have this beam comes from the guide. And there's a cryostat which has got a beryllium oxide filter and quickly tell you what it is. And then there's a detector shielding followed by a one meter long PSD. So why beryllium oxide? This is an interesting thing we did earlier where actually what you used to do that you see if you put a single crystal, a powder crystal in the neutron beam path there are lots of crystallites oriented in all possible direction. And if I can choose de-spacing judiciously we know 2d sin theta is equal to lambda. Now when lambda is larger than the largest de-spacing that part will be transmitted by the crystal, this poly crystal. I said transmission versus energy on lambda. So long lambda will be transmitted but when lambda is less than the largest d then you have some de-spacing to scatter out the beam and you have a cutoff in this region. So beryllium oxide has that cutoff at 5.6 angstrom. If I remember it correct. You see 5.2 angstrom sorry 5.2 angstrom. So now when I put a beryllium oxide poly crystal in the beam then what happens that I have got an android as lambda. Now this is the beryllium which is coming from the reactor this was a lambda. Now if I put the beryllium oxide filter on that then it will cut off the lower side. And what I get actually this cutoff is not so sharp it looks somewhat like this. It is a broadly monochromatic beam which is transmitted when I put the beam through a beryllium oxide polycrystalline filter. So this is a beryllium oxide filter as monochromatic and we get a lambda mean equal to 5.2 angstrom and we can cover we could cover the q range of 0.015 to 0.3 angstrom inverse but this is how the filter this is the transmission cutoff. So here below this all the lambda have been cut off in the transmission beam and this is the tail of the maxillium. So this is what we could get and this is the variation of resolution with q this one has measured and today this instrument has been modified and what we have now actually which is very commonly used in almost all the neutron sources known as a velocity selector. It is a physical velocity selector I had discussed with you earlier when I had discussed monochromatic but let me remind you once again this is a cylindrical material on whose body you have cut down these helical slits. You have cut these helical slits on the body and you rotate it around the axis. So now this helical slit because basically when a neutron is passing through this a neutron in the laboratory frame is moving in a straight line but in this rotating frame of this velocity selector the straight line it becomes a helix of long and if this slots on the body of the velocity selector matches then you have a wavelength and a band. So you have a lambda plus minus delta lambda that is allowed to pass through the velocity selector. The beauty of this technique is that earlier you had a valium oxide filter beam where we could not play with the lambda. Now depending on the velocity not the velocity the rotational speed of the velocity selector I can choose my lambda because the helix for the neutron changes. Now we have got a Maxwellian and depending on the rotation speed omega of this velocity selector I can choose a certain band because different lambda mean and the band because depending on the rotational velocity this helix changes and then the helix gives me which lambda I am choosing so that is what I have mentioned here in my thing. It can be 4 to 10 angstrom and in case of small angle neutron scattering or sands we can do with a large delta lambda by lambda because this I will come to later because my resolution actually is dictated by the delta theta by theta. So today the valium oxide based instrument which I had earlier this is a recent photograph. It has been changed into a using with a velocity selector and the one dimensional detector has been replaced by an area of detector. So at any instant we can collect more data. So I show you the data typical data here you see this central part is the direct beam and this is the scattered beam. So this is the beam which will be used for obtaining various parameters for a sample. So here it is a 0.1 molar C tab. C tab is a surfactant as I was talking to earlier but this comes on the detector channel but now instead of one detector I have got many. So this scattered beam forms a cone and I can arrange the cone on these detectors on these detectors. So it should be centered on this. This is the direct beam and I can collect the data on large number of detectors. So most of the applications are soft matter and nanomaterials and biology in this. So this is the instrument used which I can say one sands one and this is sands two. As I explained to you just now that you have got two silicon 111 monochromators and there is a collimator between the two silicon. And you can see that the second silicon is rocked around the first one and you capture the rocking curve of this one by rocking the second crystal. And this one has been applied and you can see that here 0.003 nanometer inverse. So angstrom inverse it will be 0.03 2.1.7 angstrom inverse 10 times more. The ceramics, cements and metallurgical alloys and precipitates have been used heavily. We call it m sands. Because this one, the other one, this one it can measure typically say 2 nanometers to 10 nanometers. The range of samples that I can use whereas here you can see that typically it can look at 40 nanometers to 1000 nanometers. So they are complementary of each other. One goes from 2 to 10 or 20 other one goes to 42,000 nanometers. And many times the data from both of them have been merged to get a larger cube. So it's a monochromator is a silicon 111 and the same has to be the analyzer. Here the lambda is 3.12 angstrom and here the delta lambda by lambda is extremely small just 1% 0.01. And I must mention to you that in a reactor like Dhruva the flux is this. We don't get disappointed. This is a very very small number compared to if I consider a beam in a synchrotron source or any other advanced neutron source. But with this kind of flux also you can study many interesting problems. So I have just shown you one more example international example is the NIST detector. So it has the same principle only because you have large number of neutrons falling. You can see the pre-sample flight path is just 16 meters. You have got a detector vessel which is further 15 meters. So almost 30 meter length 30 meter sons. And here also you have a velocity detector that gives you the required or desired range of lambda for your experiments. So with this as top I will continue with this in the next lecture.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzBTnSk2tmY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Excited to start the day with a conversation about the startup ecosystem. Yesterday we talked quite a bit about the benefits of thinking as an ecosystem, and I'm quite lucky to have two amazing people here, Link and Dave, very accomplished, very involved in the New Zealand and Wellington startup ecosystems, and excited to get your thoughts and your wisdom from it. And why don't I start by asking some of you guys might know them, and some of you might not, just to tell us about your involvement so far with the startup ecosystem here in New Zealand. Tina Koto, everyone. It's good to see you here. I guess if you don't mind me taking a walk down memory lane, I've kind of got a foot in both camps because I was born in Los Angeles, and I moved out to New Zealand as soon as I was done with university at Berkeley in 1981. And yeah, so I've been living out here for many years, and my first encounter with the startup ecosystem really is when my wife and I, Kate Frickberg, she's just sitting over there, started a business doing a web development company in the early 1990s, and we sort of grew that and eventually sold that company in 2002, and used the proceeds for both philanthropic and investment purposes in various startups. So I've been active mainly as an advisor and investor in startups since 2005, 2006. And yeah, I've really been enjoying watching the whole startup arena grow. The word ecosystem, I think, is slightly deprecated in startup circles, and so I know there's been some context around use of the word ecosystem in the last few days, but an ecosystem is generally something that's fairly mature. It's got balance. It's got organisms that contribute in certain ways, and organisms that contribute in other ways, and everything sort of functions well. I think the startup world is a lot more chaotic than that, though. And so to describe it as an ecosystem is actually giving it more credit for development than it really has. And I think that chaos is something that really drives the energy in the startup world. So I use the word ecosystem all the time, so don't get me wrong, I always sort of question whether or not it really is an ecosystem, or whether it's a chaos system, or not a system at all, just a collection of weird behavior. So anyway, for all of that, I'm a director in a number of startups. Just one of the key things in New Zealand is developing relationships outside of New Zealand, because to try to do a startup in New Zealand that's focused at four million New Zealanders is generally tears before bedtime. We really have to be globally focused in everything we do here, and be globally relevant, otherwise we become irrelevant to the rest of the world, and trying to do something for four million people is just not economic. So I spend a lot of time trying to encourage startups to think globally, to connect with global markets, to connect with global investors, and to generally do stuff that's going to be of amazing value to people everywhere in the world. So I guess that's kind of the long and the short of what I try to do. Hi everyone, so my name's Link, and I'm actually Australian, and it's, I know, one of the only people to come the other way it feels. It actually began in Los Angeles, so before I arrived in New Zealand, one of my first startups, when I was 23, was acquired by Pop.com, which was a DreamWorks company, and that's how I ended up in Hollywood. It was actually one of the biggest failures of Hollywood history, but it actually was a really great experience and got me into America, and it was basically a precursor to YouTube was what they were trying to do, and we were basically providing them the community to do that. And so about four or five years ago, I moved to New Zealand to start a family. I now have a three and a half year old daughter called Phoenix, and the reason, and basically when I arrived here, I really got the startup bug again, and that process led me to Inspiral, and then it also led me to realize that there were some real challenges in building startups in New Zealand, and around the lines of what Dave was saying is that the ecosystem in New Zealand is just really underdeveloped, and it's still in that pioneer phase that was talked about by Gary, and there is a lot of chaos, but in order for it to function well, it seems that there are a number of things missing, and the process over the last year or two has been finding out what those things are and trying to work in the next couple of years of how to fix them. So one of the missing things really that my business partner, Stefan Korn, who is now the Chief Executive of CreativeHQ, the incubator, and I looked at several years ago was a lack of an accelerator, and so a couple of years ago some planning went into starting a startup accelerator here in Wellington, and that came to fruition last year with what we call the Lightning Lab, which was a 12-week program based on the Techstars model, which takes companies from idea through to investment in this 12-week period. The first month of the three-month program is focused on achieving product market fit. The second month is focused on scaling, and the third month is focused on preparing investor presentations and that sort of thing, and so we ran through our first iteration of that in 2013. We're looking at doing the second iteration in 2014. The 2013 cohort, there were nine companies, four of them achieved investment on demo day, over 2.1 million I think was invested into those four companies, and so all four of those companies are still going, and yeah, it's a very exciting sort of model to be working on, and we're looking forward to even better results now that we think we know what we're doing more or less in the second year. We're kind of making it up as we went along to a large degree in the first year, which everyone does, so the second year should be much better. I've got a question. Dave, you talked about how you're encouraging startups to think globally, and I'm curious to hear both your thoughts on how New Zealand can make a global impact. What are some of the opportunities that you see coming up in the next few years for us to incubate different types of solutions that are scalable and make a positive impact in the world? Well, that's an interesting question because I don't think there's, in terms of the startups that we see coming out of New Zealand, sure there are some that are based around primary industries, which are really important, so for example, one of the startups I'm involved with, Expander, is doing anti-counterfeit by attaching custom QR codes to product packaging, which then gets exported to China and Asia. So, I mean, using the New Zealand context, you know, milk products are our biggest export, and so that's one example of how you can apply a technology solution to something that New Zealand is really good at and then export that and then take that same technology solution and apply it in other verticals and other geographies all over the world. So, we can do that with some things that we're good at, but I think, you know, many of the other startups that we see coming out of New Zealand could be coming out of anywhere, and I think New Zealand produces really great computer science graduates. So, you know, we have a strength there. People in New Zealand tend to be very self-reliant. Now, there's this whole number eight wire, sort of ethos. People know what number eight wire is for the Americans here. It's a fencing wire. It's used to make the fences that you see between sheet paddocks, and there's this New Zealand myth that, you know, a very skilled farmer can make anything out of number eight wire. So, for example, you know, there are these stories about, you know, entire cars made out of number eight wire and so on. So, you know, there's this, you know, people are very self-reliant. I actually think that number eight wire mentality is holding New Zealand back because New Zealanders aren't particularly good at scaling things. We're really good at, you know, doing everything ourselves and trying to do everything ourselves, and when we don't know how to do something, we get one of our mates to do it, who we think has some experience in that area, and they may not. Whereas people from larger countries and larger economies tend to say, okay, well, what needs to happen? How do we farm this out to people who actually know that we're doing? How do we scale this? How do we take, you know, this great idea that I started and actually grow beyond that in a much more large-scale way? So I think these are some of the things that we need to work on in New Zealand and perhaps some of the areas in which people, like the people who gathered here today, can help us. So I've just come back from a trip where I was invited to Israel to look at the other ecosystems around the world and to look at how they relate and what we could learn for New Zealand. And one of the things that came out of that was a quote from Brad Fowle, which was, sort of, be the best boulder that you can be. So in this case it's, you know, be the best New Zealand that you can be. And what does that look like for New Zealand? And to answer your question, Yosef, basically it seems to be that really things such as primary industries are an example of that. But there are some others that, for example, Matt talked about yesterday. Around video and the film industry here, it's basically looking at things that have already developed over a number of generations such as the Wellington film industry with Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit and that sort of thing in Avatar. And what that has done has brought a whole lot of expertise into this country that doesn't exist in other locations. So an example of that is John Lemon who arrived here to work for Weta and then left and started Lumio. And it's those sorts of skills that come in through Weta create an opportunity for all sorts of startups to come around that industry even if they don't seem to be related. And another area that's really unique to New Zealand is because of its size means that government is really accessible and that means that you can actually solve a lot of problems on a small scale here in New Zealand that could then scale out to other countries. And so that's already been seen in various startups with Inspiral and in other startups, but it seems to be a really great opportunity to do here in New Zealand. Well, I think that the counter argument to that is that the government in New Zealand is about 40, 45% of GDP and so it tends to be dominant and so it is easy to become over reliant on government as a revenue source in New Zealand and I think that's something that we need to diversify as well. You know, one other really interesting thing about New Zealand is we have, I believe, the second highest rate of immigration in the world. So I think 25% of New Zealanders were actually born in some other country and the only other country with a higher rate of immigration is Australia. And so particularly in Wellington, you know, we have an incredibly diverse population. We complain about the brain drain, but in fact I think it's actually a brain gain because we're getting smart people from all over the rest of the world who want to come here because of the amazing environment we have because of the appropriate scale that we have who want to live here and contribute and use their international connections to help improve the world generally. I mean, one of the things that I found really attractive about Wellington when I moved here in 1982 was the scale and that is an incredibly attractive thing about New Zealand and a real strength that we have because you can walk from one end of Wellington to the other in 15 minutes and in that time you'll probably bump into about 20 people that you know just walking along the street because everybody walks. People don't drive, either they walk or they take the bus and if you don't meet them in the street, you'll meet them on the bus and everybody takes the bus. So, you know, it's a very close-knit community where we have two degrees of separation and if you don't know someone, you'll know someone who knows that person that you want to talk to. And that scale, that appropriate scale where people know each other and you don't want to hurt the people near you because it'll come back to you really quickly. That's actually a strength and I think there's an opportunity there to develop more of a Wellington ink and a New Zealand ink sort of approach to the world where people that we're nominally competing with turn out to be our best allies on the global stage. Question to Link, you're working on a project called Free Range and as I understand it you're trying to create a much more developed technology ecosystem here in New Zealand. Can you talk to us a bit about what that project is and what are some of the key gaps that you're trying to fill through that? So, Free Range came out of Inspiral and it came out of a challenge which was the lack of capital here in New Zealand and it seems to be a similar theme across other isolated ecosystems and so the goal was to create a start-up to cultivate other start-ups and so Free Range started with looking for a capital by inviting international VCs such as Horizons Ventures which is owned by Lee Ka Shing as part of his foundation to New Zealand and basically try and fill that sort of capital gap here locally and over that time it became clear that it wasn't just capital that was missing but it was actually a number of those elements in that ecosystem that were also a lot more pressing than just capital and those come down to a number of issues. Number one is that there is a lack of experience in New Zealand and it's a similar situation to Australia and other ecosystems is that over time it takes a while, it takes a number of generations to build up particular experience in an industry that is really, really specific such as technology and so what ends up happening is that the particular type of brain drain that we're suffering is the ones where companies get acquired or they go to work for another company overseas and that experience is then not shared back into the system and so that the younger generation doesn't really understand what it takes to scale, how much effort it takes and specifically they lack the type of networks that older more experienced entrepreneurs have in a more advanced ecosystem and so I guess the opportunity is around bringing, inviting more serial entrepreneurs, more experienced entrepreneurs into New Zealand but also to develop the younger generation and to really work out ways of encouraging younger entrepreneurs and giving them really great experiences to learn their skills and to develop as well as the other missing area is engineers and so working out how to fill those gaps and is basically one of the main priorities for the next year and that comes from, for example, basically filling it through overseas options as well as local ones so it's working with local universities but also working with international organisations. The really great thing that's happened over the last couple of months has been that Immigration New Zealand has come forward and really decided to sort of get involved and become really quite proactive. They're putting a whole team together for next year and they've really identified this as an area that they'd like to focus on as well which gives me really a real hope for New Zealand and filling some of those gaps. Sir Paul Callahan, his great vision for New Zealand was a place where talent wants to live and I think that's going to be a key part to building up our capacity to actually deliver on some of these great things that we want to do. Dave, you talked about how the start-up ecosystem is more of a chaos than a calm, thriving ecosystem. In that chaos, what are some of the biggest gaps that you identify that are keeping it as chaos that are not helping it develop as we like it to develop? Well, I think access to capital is a key one. There are a lot of start-ups around who would try to do something on $100,000 in New Zealand that they would get $10 million to be doing in California. So you end up with people who very scrappily try to execute on an underfunded plan. So I guess access to capital is one of the key things. Link pointed out access to engineers and very specialized knowledge, I think, that's also a really key element. We're great generalists, but generally don't have the opportunity to specialize in a market of 4 million people, but we're getting there in things like the film industry and things like primary industries. We are able to develop expertise in those areas. But I think that, again, the scale, even though it's a nice scale and a very comfortable scale to live in and work in without... People don't understand what... Local start-ups have a hard time understanding global competition and often they'll build something up and build something up and build something up and then discover that when they finally make that jump overseas that they're at least a dozen competitors out on the international stage. So I think that sort of contributes to some of the chaos as well. And our distance, the fact that it is expensive and time-consuming to hop onto NZ8 whenever you want to do anything in California, actually, it is an impediment. And as wonderful as Skype and Google Hangout are, there's nothing like being there face-to-face with people. And so it's easy to become isolated and then when you get a key piece of information, it causes that chaotic behavior. Something that we're really pushing for next year is to really reduce that tyranny of distance and that can be done, as shown in Australia, through export development grants, specifically aimed at small and early-stage start-ups through basically giving some type of tax credit for travel, which reduces that distance down. You guys talk about talent and the talent Dave mentioned about how we're developing really good engineers, but yet we don't have enough of them and we're not meeting the demand. What are some of the attractiveness of New Zealand and the ecosystem here for not just engineers, but for talented people to come and move out here? Oh, well, there are lots. I mean, it's the same thing for anybody in many cases. The fact that you can live in such a livable city, that you can send your kids to school, that they can walk around and actually walk and bike to school and that you can feel safe wherever you are, that you can live in a community where you know all of your neighbors' names and what they do and all their kids' names. It's living a dream, really, that you just couldn't have in most places in North America where you tell your kids, don't talk to strangers, you buy guns and all the rest of it. We don't have any of that here. Something that's just really so obvious, no one mentions it, is how safe it is here. When growing up in Australia, there were about 14 options to be killed in my front yard. My grandmother almost died just bringing in the washing because she had a white-tailed spider underneath in the sheet and it bit her on the arm. She was in the hospital for months. It just gives you an example that doesn't really even come up here. You don't realize just how safe you are compared to some other places like Australia. Other things which are really interesting. When I arrived in 1982, most of the people my age had not grown up watching television because television didn't arrive in New Zealand until early 1960s. Most people didn't have them until the late 1960s. Most of the people my age did not grow up watching television. Consequently they read books and they talked to each other. I felt in some ways more intelligent on average. There are no statistics to back this up. I felt that they were more intelligent on average than the average people that you deal with in countries where people grew up watching television. I don't know whether or not that's all evened out now or what. I do get the sense that even if you go talk to a petrol station attendant or somebody behind the desk at a dairy or anybody you talk to, generally in New Zealand they have a pretty good understanding of world politics, of current events, of important issues and more than anything Kiwis care. They actually care about what's going on. Not only in New Zealand but in the rest of the world. That really struck me and I think that's a really important aspect that people do care here in a way that they don't in other places. Something about the local market here as well is that yes, start-ups here have to be global from day one but the local market here is used around the world by companies like Facebook to do their first trials. One of the reasons for that is because we are a country of early adopters and we're willing to try things and that's really great when you're starting an early-stage start-up to actually have people willing to give it a go. So the counter argument to that and something that gets me really worked up like is that New Zealand start-ups that use New Zealand as their first market are learning all of the wrong things because they're designing their start-ups for a market of four million people. They take them offshore and all of a sudden they discover that in the rest of the world they need distribution. What's that distribution? In New Zealand, you want to sell something to somebody, pick up the phone, you rang them up and you say, hey, would you like to buy this? And they say yes or no and you generally do a deal with them. It doesn't work like that in the rest of the world where you have distribution to worry about and so New Zealand start-ups that are using New Zealand as a test market are, as I say, often learning really the wrong things and not focusing on the key thing that's going to kill most of them, which is distribution. Which is really highlighting the fact of how important it is to bring in that higher-experience talent to give those sorts of pieces of advice. Bring it in but also to bring it out. So I think there needs to be this bidirectional flow of talent and the more integrated we want to be with the world economy the more we have to be prepared to travel in both directions. So something that they've looked at Israel and one of the things that took them up to the next level was a scheme with America where Israeli start-ups actually spent time in America and it really helped them understand the American market and they say that that was one of the key things that took them up. I want to open it up to questions. If anybody's got questions we'll take about three out of five questions. It's kind of natural for young people to want to have a look at the other side of the world, especially when you are in a foreign market. So my question comes back to the fact that it would be great to be able to have people experience what it's like overseas but then to attract them back because everything you've mentioned suggests to me that it's a great place to raise your children to come back once they've learnt and had that experience and have fun in the bigger overseas metropolitan markets and that's really why we lose our young bright people and we're at a case in point with our son and even though he'd like to come back, he probably won't. Zeroes now started up and might attract them back so perhaps there's a comment there that you'd like to make about that as an example but that's the point that everyone wants to see what the grass is like on the other side of that number eight fence. So that's one of the strengths that New Zealand has is that our young people do go overseas and travel the world widely and every New Zealander when they graduate from university goes off on their OE, their overseas experience and it's just an expected rite of passage that it's something you're going to do in your early 20s. Unfortunately there is going to be some attrition and we're going to lose some of these people permanently to places overseas. I think we'll make that up in people we get back and I'm sorry that they're probably not going to make up for your son. My own son is currently over in Los Angeles. I don't know whether or not he'll ever be back but people do recycle and they do come back and he may not be able to come back now when he's 30 or even when he's 40 maybe when he's 50 he'll decide to come back and recycle that knowledge. So I don't think we can't really hold on to them but I think if we let them go there are over a million New Zealanders overseas so that's a fifth of the population 20% of New Zealand is in the New Zealand diaspora and these people are actually really critical to our integration with the world economy and these are our 1 million ambassadors that we have all over the world so I think that's really important as well and we shouldn't lose sight of that. There was some recent research done and it was found that the average successful start-up founder was 35 and so the fact that young kids are going overseas is actually great and it's just about creating an environment here that this is where they choose to come back to and that the so-called ecosystem is here that it actually supports them coming back and building their start-up here later on. In the business that I'm involved with we actually send a whole lot of New Zealanders and Australians overseas to get work experience thousands of them a year but we actually interview them all and ask them what they'd like to do when they come back to New Zealand and the majority of them didn't actually want to come back to New Zealand and work in large corporate businesses but actually wanted to come back to New Zealand and get involved in small businesses and helping some of their skills and indeed even injecting their capital into those businesses if they wanted to and that was 45% of the Kiwis that lived overseas were of that attitude. I think the main issue for them is actually educating them about what they can do when they get back because the ecosystem is chaotic they don't really have any visibility of what they can do when they come back so they just get sucked into that trap going and working for a big corporate despite the fact that that might not be what they want to do. So... Sure, my question was just surrounding this 1 million Kiwis living abroad and I've definitely seen a lot of stats from the Kia network that speaks of the relative success of that diaspora often leadership in international organizations you see a lot of prominent Kiwis in the US in leadership positions in big companies I'm curious to hear your thoughts on what are some of the things that New Zealand companies or friends of New Zealand can do to take advantage of that community this dispersed but well connected and sort of values align group of people how can New Zealand really tap into that more or do you feel like that's already happening and just maybe share your thoughts on that? I think that one of the things that we've looked into recently is that those overseas New Zealanders represent potentially some of the country's best ambassadors and I think there's an opportunity to really unlock that by allowing them to actually identify people that they'd like to invite to come and live in New Zealand for example so basically formalizing that process and I think there's a real opportunity there Yep, so the Kia network is fairly well defined I think they've always struggled to actualize what they're trying to achieve mainly because people have busy lives and they get off doing whatever it is that they're doing overseas and they come back to New Zealand for the Christmas holidays and hang out with their family and then go back overseas so one initiative that we started came out of an idea last year was a thing that we're calling Worldwide Wellington Week and this is the week leading up to Wellington Anniversary Day where we've got a Facebook page we're going to try to get all the Wellingtonians that we know all over the world to have barbecues in their garages and do other things that are very Wellingtonian to wear black and yellow and celebrate whatever it is their connection to Wellington is so if we can keep these people connected in some way I think that will be really helpful as well Kia ora, I'm Viv Materbourne a couple of things, of course living in New Zealand for women and children isn't safe and I just want to make that point that we kill more of our women and children than any other developed country in the world so let's not romanticize the work that there is to be done in our country and our culture in that way the second thing I want to say is when we're talking about startups I want to really make the distinction between just any old business starting up a business starting up to be another profit taking extractionist company that's about profit making for shareholders and startups that are about changing and disrupting the current power dynamics in the world and finding new ways of redistributing wealth in the broadest possible sense so I guess I'm interested when you're talking about startup to really address this challenge of how do we do more than just grow more rip-off businesses that accumulate wealth in individuals and ignore the common good so I think that's the challenge and that's what I'm really interested to hear how do we grow an ecosystem of that kind of startup so to be fair Viv I think there are very few startup entrepreneurs in New Zealand or anywhere else who go into their startup thinking that the reason that they're going to do this startup is to make a shitload of money and oppress people so I just wanted to get that out of the way I think most people who are doing startups are really passionate about one particular idea that they want to see disrupt the entire way that things are done in that particular area and extract value from that by making it easier for people to do whatever it is that they're already doing in that area so I think it's really good that there are lots of people doing this in all sorts of unexpected ways and they pick really odd things to be passionate about and develop and make a lot more efficient and more interesting and more fun and easier to do and I think that the value that's unleashed by that actually contributes to increasing increasing levels of well-being everywhere so I think it's really important that that kind of stuff keeps on continuing as it is I do think that the question that you ask is a valid one though and that how do we focus people more on addressing issues like inequality in society or poverty or violence or other social issues how do we encourage people to focus on that as well as all of the other things I think the only answer to that is to make sure that we get people passionate about that to the degree that they want to risk everything because that's what you do when you do a startup you basically risk everything in order to achieve that goal so how do we do that I think the interesting thing about New Zealand is that we've all chosen a lot of us have chosen to be here and that the reasons that the types of reasons that we've chosen to be here are exactly that are quite similar in the very reasons that we want to start those sorts of businesses and I think the emergence of Inspiral as an example of that it has really is a really good example for the hope that I have in New Zealand's role in those sorts of startups and I think that you're sort of bringing up let's not sort of paint a rosy picture I think that the other thing that we haven't discussed is that the feedback from international VCs on the New Zealand ecosystem is that there is another issue here and that issue is around not the fact basically the feedback was that startups here have great design the design thinking is amazing for this country and the startups within but what's missing is basically a way of creating something that has as type of protectability and the fact that IP is not protected well means that these startups can't get the sort of capital that they might attract if they did that well and there's this local that seems to be a local trend in the past of let's just get it let's just get something going quickly rather than thinking about how to protect that intellectual property hang on Link who are we designing these startups for are we designing them specifically for investors or are we designing them to change the world and to create value so if you're trying to design something for an investor then definitely you look at IP protectability as being a key a key aspect of something that you want to work at on the other hand there are plenty of other business models I'm a really passionate open source sort of person don't get me wrong I think it's completely possible to have really good business models around stuff that's essentially free and that comes down to how well you can execute so there are lots of different business models but I think in terms of the IP protectability you really have to ask the question who is it that's benefiting from that protectability I guess it's just a balance so if you're too far on the open side that it becomes harder and harder to actually get the scale and to attract the capital to actually grow it so there's a balance and ultimately it's just the feedback is that it's just too far on that side to attract if you're going to try and attract VC funding to do something otherwise you're going to have to look for other sources which we end up doing and start up to like Lumio finding really interesting ways of doing that but it's just harder it is harder one last question Josh over there I'm just curious about next three years if you could wave a magic wand around here what would you like to see change what do you want to see that's not here right now personally I'd like to imagine that we're further down the track of that more complete ecosystem and that there are more I mean Yosef and I talked about this earlier in the year and it was sort of imagining that more people were moving here then more people were moving back we were attracting more experienced serial entrepreneurs that decided to move to New Zealand or even part time to start things here and that there was more of an awareness of entrepreneurship as in the local environment so make no mistake we're as a country and as a start up world we're still bootstrapping and we have to do that one success at a time and there are no shortcuts it's not like I can wave a magic wand I mean as nice as it would be and immediately everything is there the way we want it to be so we have to keep on building our resilience we need to celebrate failure better than we do and give people the the permission and the encouragement to try something really hard to the degree where they might fail because I think Kiwi's probably have less sort of resilience to failure than say people in Silicon Valley for example so keep on encouraging that so I want to see more people trying harder and failing and having those failures be celebrated but at the same time I think recycling the talent that we have well is really really important and that is the key to success in bootstrapping is build more success stories have those people come back and do it again and come back and do it again and encourage others to do it again by recycling their own capital their own expertise so it's a bit hackneyed but if you look at Rod Drury and the way he's built up his career he's the chairman of Zero and the founder of Zero the accounting software firm but if you look at the way he did it he started with a web development firm he built that into another technology company developed that into another technology sold that came back and started Zero so it's that recycling recycling thing which is really good and keep on striving at solving problems that are really really hard that people are passionate about I remember when Rod Drury first started Zero I thought he was trying to solve a problem that was just too hard to solve and yet he's made a huge success of it and took huge amounts of risk and applied huge amounts of his own money and other people's money to make it happen and did it and so good on him so we need more of that recycling effort happening in terms of talent and capital within New Zealand Thank you guys so much for sharing it's really inspiring Dave Link I'm curious, especially for anyone watching this on video, how can we learn more about the projects you guys are involved in and websites and URLs Right, well for me the key ones, I've got my own blog dave.moskovits.co.nz Lightning Lab is lightninglab.co.nz I guess those are the key ones for me freerangefarm.co.nz That's good, so thanks everyone really appreciate the opportunity to be here Thank you both for sharing the many exciting opportunities but also challenge that we face here Just one last comment I want to make is relating to the scale of New Zealand here and the opportunities to make a big impact is something that we have noticed when we moved here and when I moved here about 11 months ago and what's exciting for us is just an opportunity to contribute and help some of the chaos thrive better I don't think we can stop it from being a chaos but we can help it thrive and utilize some of the skills resources and relationships that were built in the Silicon Valley ecosystem to meet some of the needs and investments some of the needs and talent because a lot of the people we've been talking to in meeting are looking for something a bit more meaningful to do and ways to utilize their skills and knowledge and I want to give them an opportunity for them to come here and contribute in the ways they can so we're setting up an entity called KiwiConnect where it's in very early stages and we'll be launching our website quite soon but we'll send you guys a quick note about it when that is out but thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and skills wisdom and hope to continue this conversation and contribute to the thriving of this chaos, thank you	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz1QaPbzlQY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution -

Yes, but not in the embalming room I mean they make it sound like you know, I slept in the crypts with them And I never climbed into a coffin or anything like that that that is so damn ridiculous And besides the dead won't bond to you It's the living you got to worry about Never talk about John Wayne Gacy. His case became big in the 70s. Greg. Don't tell us about the videos you found Yeah, this video is an interview with wrestler who was an FBI profiler in 1992 Gacy was sentenced to death in 1980 and executed in 1994 And so this is not about him trying to get free from something we'll use that as a frame Give me kind of just an overview of the business that you eventually Establish you the construction work. Is this self-time then these the instructions that you eventually the one ever the hell they're ready Give me kind of just an overview of the business that you eventually Establish you the construction work. Is this self-time then these the construction and yeah maintenance work I started doing painting and then I started doing wallpapering and decorating and inside of three years PDM which is painting decorating and maintenance was doing a million dollars a year And that was and I only had four employees and that was the business you were in one at the time of the arrests That's correct PDM in 1974 became a corporation and then I owned PDM contractors corporation I owned PDM plumbing PDM concrete and PDM decorating And then I branched off with another partner into RAF co-construction mm-hmm and From there we were doing strictly drugstores All right mark what do you got? Yeah, so he jumps in on the answer there takes that territory Also a sense of grandiosity there. There's all those Corporations that he's had you know only four employers and he had this version of the company and this version and this version So again a lot of taking of territory fairly grandiose resume there But at the same time Super low a blink rate I would expect when somebody's taking that territory and they're being slightly Aggressive I would say well more than slightly aggressive in this kind of situation I'd expect to expect to see other elements of aggression in his face and yet I see nothing blink rate really low I think all of that kind of speaks for itself and will gradually see more and more of this very flat effect and unemotional Personality as we go through Scott. What are your thoughts? I agree with it completely This is sort of his baseline. We're looking at here. So he's illustrating a lot with his head. That's fairly normal This flat affect is is showing strong here and you're right We're gonna see it throughout the throughout these videos and quite often this is compared to a shallow effect Which is it's not really the same thing. You have the blood affect and you have the Same seems like there's 40 different thousand kinds of them But what we're talking about at this or we talked about that is there's no you don't see much emotion In other words, it's flat or shallow not much there when there should be things now here There shouldn't be a whole lot. We're seeing it's fairly normal normal for this situation But that's what we're seeing here is bleak blink rate is a little bit inconsistent here, which is not odd Especially when you're just getting a baseline, but it does have those long periods of staring which Personal cue that pops up for me to go. Let's watch. Let's think about his personality type. Greg. What do you got? Yeah, so this is a great start. This is a good baseline. You both said it Remember, this is Midwest Midwest has a little bit different affect than Southerners or New Yorkers or any of that So let's use that as part of his baseline and he has that crisp telling with his chin up about all these things He did we're going to see this guy building a profile of control and he's starting right here talking about his life and the control In what he built the other interesting pieces. We always talk about eye movement This is a great study in that he goes to the right for eye recall Most of what he's doing is digital memory meaning he said that a million times So he's gonna go right over here somewhere to pick it up Some of it is visual when he starts talking about wallpaper You see his eyes dart up higher but almost everything is digital just stuff He said over and over and over. I agree with you the blink rate is not a whole lot I don't know if the affect is we'll certainly see really flat affect here I think he's just doing what he does, but I see a certain amount of control here I also think that we're gonna see what pissed off looks like in this guy is very contained when he's not in charge He punctuates by moving his head and he's got about 50-50 eye contact. So it looks pretty good chase. What do you got? Yeah, I agree with you guys. It's kind of what I had my notes here the Baseline to about the nine hour nine o'clock as we're looking at it and then moving up to our kind of two o'clock. I Think this is maybe just one for data recall And I think this two o'clock position is something that you'll see again and again in his baseline for interpersonal relations when he thinks about other people But what we're seeing is almost socially appropriate behavior He's moving away while he's interrupting the person with almost polite and he's covering his mouth to cough Which is a few indicators that I will be looking for how much politeness is present and how many how much manners does this person have? So his pupils are around five millimeters in in diameter right now We're gonna see that change in a little while and in this chest breathing him breathing into his chest Versus the abdomen the chest is more likely to indicate stress is his baseline So we see that in just about every video of them that's out there So his shoulders are moving that means is most likely breathing into his chest Abdominal breathing just as a side note means person's more relaxed feels safer and moves your shoulders a lot less You can give it a shot right now. Give me kind of just an overview of the business that you eventually Establish you the construction work. Is this self-taught than the the construction set you eventually the one ever the hell they're ready Now give me kind of just an overview of the business that you eventually Establish you the construction work. Is this self-taught than the the construction and yeah maintenance work I started doing painting and then I started doing wallpapering and Decorating and inside of three years PDM which is painting decorating and maintenance was doing a million dollars a year and that was and I only had four employees And that was the business you were in at the time of the arrests. That's correct. PDM in 1974 became a corporation and then I owned PDM Contractors Corporation. I owned PDM plumbing PDM concrete and PDM decorating and then I branched off with another partner into RAFCO construction and From there we were doing strictly drug stores To go in one direction at one time the subdivision where the Somerdale house is located is built on a clay field and When it rained the rain would come down from both ends and would flood from from one house to the other The crawl space would fill up with water in 1976 I asked a lamb scaper. I said, what do you do for for that sour odor of clay? And he said spread white line just regular masonry line on the ground He said it'll sweeten up the clay and you won't have that odor. It's sort of like what Charco doesn't filter anything That's why the line was spread in the crawl space. How much the land was spread down there eventually. I Think seven or eight hundred pounds of it Yeah, if you notice there's more concern on his brow now He's starting to talk about something that matters and you'll see a little bit of this brow drawn right here These these muscles will tighten to show some concern and you can see he's done that a fair amount in his life He gives too much detail here He's making a rational reason and we always say that people slow down their illustrators when they are Making up something they're not telling the truth But really good liars are going to use their hands and the guy who was hidden 29 bodies has lied a few times about something So this is a practice story all the stuff about water running in he's overly illustrative with his hands shows that concern in his brow His eyes narrow his eyes narrowed down as he gets to this point. We're gonna see he doesn't show outright anger But there's places in here where you can see anger in him as he goes through here and all the things he's saying Maybe true. I did ask a guy about how do you do it with a smell and he told me lime Well, he wasn't talking about because of water. He's talking about dead bodies under under the basement We'd still be all the same stories So he may be using real facts to cover up something like I always say When I had lunch with Barry Menkow, he said Fraud is the skin of the truth stuff with lies. So think of that watch him too He's drawing pulling taffy pulling turning his head and keeping his eyes locked and drawing you to him That wasn't in his baseline. So it tells me something's up. Scott. What do you got? All right, when he says built on a clay field clay shows what some people gonna think is a micro expression of contempt or disdain It's not it's because his mouth doesn't work there on those is his right side So he's overcompensating for that. I don't know if he's had a stroke or a brain injury or what's going on My thoughts gonna go to brain injury, you know, well, but we'll go along with that a little bit later on So the structure of his answer has four succinct parts And each part is a brick by brick build of the reasons why he didn't do that or couldn't have done it When he starts bringing in the part about the about the clay and that shallow affect is the part that makes this thing sound Even more analytical. It makes him sound like he's really He'd like his vernacular is often what he usually the way he usually talks because it's a little bit off from what He was talking in the video we use as his baseline Which was obviously his baseball a baseline quite often you'll see in these situations the eyebrows will go up and in Greg's thing request for approval We don't see that very much here and it's something like this. It should be there But it's not we see the brief little shots of it every now and then throughout these videos, but here it's not there Chase, what do you got? Yeah, I fully agree with you guys on this there's something wrong with a little piece of this and I'll dig deeper into this But linguistically he's using the word Somerdale house instead of my house or the house So that he gives it an official title something moved away from him He's comfortable using body narration here with the rain flooding the neighborhood he's using his body to talk about all this he's illustrating that and Then he says that's why the lime was in the crawl space and right here. We have a postural retreat Which is when he kind of lean back away from the interviewer They have lip compression and we have a chin boss movement all on that's why the line was in the space And then it goes to how much lime again, and he's right back to genuine stuff There's genuine eye movement recall at his baseline He gives an estimated number of people who are lying are more likely to give a smaller range or to show a little more doubt And then there's nodding right after the number he nods his head So I think there's truth deception and then truth here, which is just a little Ham sandwich of deception mark. What do you think? Yeah? So I think he wasn't expecting the quantity Question because we do get a shift in his baseline about when he normally tells a story He's he's kind of overly helpful. It's full of almost kind of bureaucratic analysis of Of the topography the geography of it We don't really need any of that but he gets into that and then his eyes shift when he's asked the the quantity question He gives an uh, which we haven't had from him before He's usually very controlled around the way he delivers There's some lip retraction there a vocal click blink rate goes up and and I think those nods are nods for Approval I just I'm not suggesting is he's lying just like you chase But I think it's it's a good baseline for when he hasn't rehearsed the story on on this Could be genuine Information but not anything he was thinking of getting now. I think on that's why the line was spread in the crawl space As well as what you saw that chase I think I see delight now I'm not saying juper's delight that would be something very different But slow down those frames are there and just see whether you can see some kind of of of glint of Delight or joy. It's very very subtle But it's interesting because I wonder what that delight is Is about if I've read that right, what is that delight about? Is it not fellow, isn't he to go in one direction at one time? The subdivision where the Somerdale house is located is built on a clay field and When it rained the rain would come down from both ends and would flood from from one house to the other the crawl space would fill up with water in 1976 I asked a lamp scaper. I said, what do you do for? For that sour odor of clay that he said spread white line just regular masonry line on the ground He said it'll sweeten up the clay and you won't have that odor. It's sort of like what Charcot doesn't filter anything That's why the line was spread in the crawl space. How much the line was spread down there eventually. I Think seven or eight hundred pounds of it John how about Tim McCoy the last one of the five that you say you have personal knowledge of Tim McCoy Even though he's the last one. He's the first one. He's the first one actually right the first of the 33 Tim Tim McCoy was it was the first one and Tim McCoy's name wasn't put on him until 1988 Prior to that he was known as unknown number nine and he was buried by me in the crawl space That's the only knowledge that I have of it. What was the circumstances of that? He was killed in the house in self-defense and who killed him then I Saved him. Yeah, and it was a man an issue of self-defense. What why was he in the process of assaulting you or what? He was coming at me with a knife. I just took the knife away and twist it in his hand and That that's what killed him So at that point you yourself did bury him then in the crawl space, right? And if you if you notice he's under concrete Did you bury any of the others in the crawl space? No, I had nothing I had no knowledge of yeah Well, why is it that yours? Your first one is there and then you know 20 some Others are buried down there as well Did somebody know that you had done this with the first one that giving them an idea more than likely when drinking and getting high with the Other share admitting it to them So you feel others and followed your suit and in using this as a burial ground Without a doubt Chase, what do you got right off the bat? He was buried by me in the crawl space This is distancing language if I did something I would say I buried him in the crawl space And then it goes to that's the only knowledge that I have of it It it's a strange worse word usage here, but then there's also a head tilt Which is unusual for his baseline. I think he is likely to do this during his deceptive statements There's an immediate withdrawal of his head kind of pulls back away from the interviewer and the eyes dart to Emotional recall right away when he's saying this and There's a contempt micro expression right at that moment right at that exact moment You'll see contempt there what I think is a contempt micro expression Scott may bury me under the floor boards for saying that Then there's a swallow and fading facts all in the exact same thing And when he's talking about he was killed in the house not I killed him There's more distancing language another head tilt. There's lip retraction. There's chin boss movement, which is grief or shame And then it continues on with this distancing language. That's what killed him and I'm sure you guys will get the other ones here I don't want to take it up everything But why is it that the first one is there and some 20 others? You know the interviewer goes through this question There's a postural retreat and the hand disappears below the table and what I think is genital protection, which is a fear behavior And I think there's a possibility that the story is actually true I think there's a possibility that that person was in his house unwillingly and maybe he tried to escape and maybe did come after him with a knife which Would still help his little self-defense story or maybe he tried to escape and he called it self-defense But he never talks about how that person got into his house He just says he came at me with a knife if someone breaks in your house will say some dude kicked him my door and started demanding to Where's the jewelry? Where's the money? No, he just came up with a knife So I think maybe there was an attempted escape with that one before he learned some of his Psychopath lessons great. What do you think? Yeah, this one is probably the one I'm gonna be longest-winded on because I have three pages and now It's this is probably the worst of the entire thing. He starts off like you said everything is passive Everything is passive if you look he starts off with some kind of lip compression at the very beginning of it Something is up there. Don't know which questions started it It's interesting that when wrestler asked him about all 33 He doesn't protest it at all. He lets it slide by if I killed two people and was really really adamant I killed two people I'd say didn't kill 33 I killed two but he doesn't he just lets it pass What we're gonna see here is a pattern of a guy who has gotten so odd that Everything's okay and normal and he can talk about it kind of casually if tomorrow chase you decide you're gonna start drinking cooking oil in a month Cooking oil drinking would be normal and you'd talk to people about it's wonderful. It tastes like this This guy killed 29 people 29 and buried them in his basement Most of them some of me buried under his driveway and could even tell you exactly how they were lying the story if you go watch these Interviews is fantastic. I mean, it's a horrible story, but it's a fantastic bunch of police work He says was killed passive was buried any distances and uses passive in that case was buried by me That's the only knowledge I have of it. I got the same thing disdain shows when he does that's the only knowledge I have of it. I think in some case He's disappointed in that he didn't get away with it or something something showing because there's disdain and then their shame So whatever was there? He was killed in the house in self-defense in this one I think I see anger I see lip withdrawal But I also see a narrowing of the mouth and a lower whites of his eyes show That's anger that upper lid is down and a lower lid is lower That's anger and when you see that in somebody who is not in control imagine what it would be if they weren't controls away Look at this guy Then that chin boss shows up again. There's another lip compression There's just a bunch of complex emotions flooding his face that we haven't seen to here He says I stabbed him his lips rise just a bit and then he stopped If you stop the video right there mark back to your amusement if you stop the video right there and pause it There's pleasure in his face. You can see amusement when he was asked Questions about self-defense his eyes went down right and then he didn't move his eyes at all when he was shaking his head He was locked on this guy's eyes and pulling his eyes around his head as he moved I Took it away. I'll leave that one long You get when he says I took it away and I spun it around him and stabbed him get a chin shut in defiance and then He sounds like it's an ordinary shooting weekend. Well, yeah, I buried him under concrete Well, obviously anybody I killed I buried under concrete. So the rest of those guys are not mine I'm not sloppy. I'm a controlled guy. I build things for a living I got the stuff. I'll leave it there because there's just so much in that one passage that I could go on probably another 10 minutes Mark, what do you got? Yeah, I agree. It's all very controlled. You know, if you look it's in the manual This is how I did it if you care to look so it's incredibly bureaucratic there he is with that almost kind of telephone directory size. I don't know manual Dictionary of Murder essentially Lots of numbers he comes up with lots of numbers. So it really is, you know an accountancy of What went on at the same time? I agree kind of lets the 30 the 30 odd people slide when it's put forward But what's odd for me is he doesn't own up to it. He does let it slide through I'm still confused at this point as why he's denying The murder of some of these people. I don't quite get that other than he's really odd He's really odd and he's decided that he's gonna own up to some and deny some my guess is is that changes Over that you probably get them in another interview and he's now owning up to some and denying some others I'm guessing it could change on a on a weekly monthly yearly basis for him as to what how he's gonna perform in these Situations that the main thing for me is that we do see some fleeting emotions Around his face of of anger delight. I would agree Greg around the killing Well, we don't see his fear or sorrow and and again that classifies him within a Psychology for sure if I talked about harming somebody Certainly killing you would probably see some elements of fear or or sorrow around that because You know, I have a socially primed brain part of my brain knows that's kind of wrong to do that that stuff You couldn't know you might kind of shouldn't it's wrong. I Would pretty much guarantee he doesn't have the same feelings around around that Scott. What do you think? All right, we'll start with chase chase I agree with you where the severity softening language was he was buried by me not I buried him He's he's moved himself away from that I'm gonna have a problem with with most everybody here on the part where he shows disdain or contempt Because after he says that's the knowledge. That's all the knowledge. I have that's the only knowledge I have of it and it looks like contempt, but it's not it's regret But it's modified by the pro paralysis of the right side of his mouth now The clinical psychopath has no feelings of remorse or getter sadness or whatever This behavior is seen when you see someone who has damage to the amygdala Where they've been in a car wreck been hitting head with a shovel been hit by a car those kind of things Something's happened this guy where that's happened because his behavior like mark was saying is odd You keep saying he's not got he's odd because he has damage to his amygdala. I bet a thousand I get all of it all my chips go on that now when that happens That's when you see this odd behavior because they're right next to being normal They're right next to be nor but you see this dramatic drop off from normality to just the freakiest stuff You can possibly imagine which is what he comes with what he does is what he gets into we're seeing lip compression Right and left here now what appears to be lip lip compression after he said killed in self-defense is anger You got the you nailed that Greg. Oh, of course you would I don't mean to be I'm not complimenting you Good job Greg But so yeah, so this but that's normal lip compression at that point For that and again that goes back to the psychopath was damaged who has damaged to the amygdala not a classic psychopath Now the severity softening the language on I just took the knife away and twisted it in his hand And that's what killed him doesn't say for the second time where he could I stabbed him What if he took it away from and it was in his he said I took it away from and it was in his hand So we've got two things there that just don't that doesn't work You can't take it away from and have it in his hand and twist it and him be dead So he stabbed me with that so there's a lot going on there But I think what we're looking at here is somebody who's got damaged to the amygdala, but it's not it's not the in the nature versus nurture Fight over our psychopaths born or are they created this one what's created? I don't know when But he was created John how about Tim McCoy the last one of the five that you say you have personal knowledge of Tim McCoy even though he's the last one he's the first one he's the first one actually right the first of the 33 Tim Tim McCoy was was the first one and Tim McCoy's name wasn't put on him until 1988 Prior to that he was known as unknown number nine and he was buried by me in the crawl space That's the only knowledge that I have of it. What was the circumstances of that? He was killed in the house In self-defense and who killed him then I Saved him. Yeah, and it was a man an issue of self-defense. What why was he in the process of assaulting you or what? He was coming at me with a knife. I just took the knife away and twist it in his hand and That's what killed him So at that point you yourself did bury him then in the crawl space, right? And if you if you notice he's under concrete Did you bury any of the others in the crawl space? No, I had nothing I had no knowledge of yeah Well, why is it that yours your first one is there and then you know 20 some Others are buried down there as well Did somebody know that you had done this with the first one that giving them an idea more than likely when drinking and getting High with the others share admitting it to them So you feel others and followed your suit and in using this as a burial ground Without a doubt And you took him where? Out on the I-55 bridge and that's where How was he then taken from the car and placed into the into the river? Just opened up the trunk and up man. Okay. There was no there was no big special deal Yeah, I couldn't get down in the crawl space that easy and then I had a bum back to begin with you Gotta crawl on your belly to move around in the crawl space There is no way that I could have done any of the digging down there. I Had enough trouble just getting down there. Greg. What do you got? I'm gonna be real short of this one This is a normal guy talking if you're not paying attention you think okay This is normal guy talking except for what he's talking about again. This has become so normal to him He thought yeah, I had a quarter cooking oil this morning with my cereal. That's what's going on This guy's gotten so freakin weird and so Criminal that it's just normal for him to talk about this stuff. Look at his dominant eye We always say your dominant eye is what you shoot with and it's where you do most of your data intake Look at that dominant eye shrinking. He's pissed at this guy And if you can see you can't see it in his face You can see starting to get a little hostile You see his face starting to wrench around a little and then the thing that you're gonna pay attention to from here On out is when he's feeling that kind of anger or hostility his eyes dart down into his right boom I think what you're doing is you're tapping into the anger some emotion you're tapping into but we're seeing that reflection Mark, what do you got? Yeah, so again, I think he says the eye 94 then there for the for the bridge again, it's it's bureaucratic It's it's numbers. It's it's things not feelings Zero feeling on on on the bridge there. I mean, why would you have a feeling? It's the eye 94 bridge it's it's a thing but then when we get to crawling on your belly and In order to dig holes to bury people which he says he didn't he couldn't possibly have done again, it's it's It's bureaucratic in the way that he's going through it Blink rate is maybe a touch higher on that and then he breaks that with a little bit of laughter will see a lot more laughter Later on I think that's that's gonna be seen as an indicator of He's being dishonest and he breaks the tension that's building up around that that dishonesty with some laughter I think we see it here I'm not quite sure I agree with him having seen a few details of this I don't quite see how you dig holes underneath there But you know, this is clearly somebody who could do anything he likes So I'm I don't think it's beyond him to dig You know 30 centimeter holes that deep holes or whatever it was underneath in a very thin space I think where there's a will There's a there's a way and I think he's got the will and he's got the way around that chase. What do you think? Yeah, right away the interviewer asked you took him where and then we see the exact thing from the first video that we looked at with The baseline we see the nine and a clock for data and then two o'clock for what I In my opinion labeled some kind of interpersonal recall or visual recall And he's saying there's no way I could have done the digging and This is the exact opposite of his normal eye movement He goes to three o'clock when he usually goes to nine And there's a non contraction which is also outside of his baseline There's no way I could have instead of could have he contracts everything that he possibly can in his normal speech And this crawl space is actually pretty damn big If you look at any of the police photos of this crawl space, which I do not recommend that you do but It's it's pretty big. There's some people that are almost standing all the way up down there and Him denying the crimes because of the size of the crawl space is like an English prince denying a crime because of a lack of an ability to sweat Just doesn't mean that is never that would never happen. That's bizarre. Yeah But in in reality, we're missing denial We are missing a full denial in this entire thing every denial is soft and couched And the denial is about getting in the crawl space in the denial is never about I did not kill those people There's no strong confident denial. There's not even a partially confident denial Scott. We go. All right, so far the most eyebrow movement We've seen throughout this is here we see more than anywhere else up to this point but he's using short on point senses and This but this is where like Greg always says I go I go deeper in here because something just not right about this About what he's talking about there. Something just sounds odd in there I'm not sure quite what it is But it sounds like something these you need more ask more questions around that is me is blink rates really low And that's you see that quite often somebody who's lying to you the reason being their brain What's to keep an eye on you to make sure you believe them? So everybody always says we always talked about this when somebody lies to you had the biggest myth is how they broke Eye contact so I know they like they were lying. Nope quite often. They know you think that so they won't do it number two And number one their brain wants to keep an eye on you to make sure you believe them So when they start adding qualifiers if you pause after you're after they give you the first answer And they start adding qualifiers to that There are more reasons to why that what they're saying is true Then they'll they'll be able to watch you and keep an eye on you at the same time So as cadence is a lot faster here is voice tones a little bit higher is a little bit louder However at the end there where he says There's no way I could have done the digging down there We hear fading facts where he says down there now keep in mind this guy had a construction company So if you think for one second he didn't know he's talking about his use concrete and a construction company Greg be able to tell you each run one of those you have You know that concrete, you know how to use it You know how to dig a hole and put somebody in it and use concrete to fill it up I think I think this guy is just slowly, but surely he's telling us everything without telling us everything And you took it where? Out on the I-55 bridge and that's where How was he then taken from the car and placed into the into the river? Just open up the trunk and that man Okay, there was no there was no big special deal Yeah, I couldn't get down in the crawl space that easy and then I had a bum back to begin with You got a crawl on your belly to move around in the crawl space There is no way that I could have done any of the digging down there. I Had enough trouble just getting down there Now when the when the search warrants were affected in your case They did they did find an awful lot in the crawl space of your home. Did they not well? Yeah, I had offered to sell them the house because I thought there was nothing down in the crawl space Yeah, I had never had any qualms about I'm going down in the crawl space Well, how many bodies were located on the property and where to my understanding there was a total of 29 bodies or 28 bodies were found on the property 26 27 of them under the house and the rest One was under the driveway one was on the garage. So that makes total of 29. Okay, Mark. What do you got? It's a really simple this one a lots of concern there lots of nodding of the head lots of trying to be helpful and Trying to be very helpful again with the mathematics here again. See how he's very much into categories of things Humbering things and not into any of the feelings that might happen around people Again super low blink rate as well. He's an odd chap. That's all I got Chase. What do you think? Yeah? He shifts to internal dialogue during the question with his eyes, which is kind of down here or down here And the eyes move down in that direction for internal dialogue When we are rehearsing something or planning something so he's planning his answer as the question is being completed Before it's completed Then we see lip-licking Both are preparation for presentation. I just call them both of that. So this lip-licking is kind of a hygienic gesture that Subconsciously a lot of what we talked about is we don't ever mention it We don't mention it often enough, but these are unconscious behaviors that a person's not thinking about So just making the person look a little bit better licking the lip suggesting the hair picking imaginary lens Those are all semi hygienic gestures, but when he says I offered to sell him the house It's a difference between I didn't know there were bodies and I thought there was nothing I didn't know there were any bodies in the house or I thought there was nothing down to there There's a big difference between those two phrases and when he finally mentions the bodies There's a progressive head tilt back to his his base his deception baseline progressive head tilt There's a contempt. I think still facial expression contempt at 29 And I think there's genuine recall to the Locations of the bodies we see the eyes move to when he's thinking about where all these bodies were laid out Granted if he was innocent and he'd been through I don't know 700 hours of going through court and trial prep and all this stuff He'd probably still do genuine recall to the bottom locations of the body. So I just will I will say that Greg what do you got? Yeah, this guy's getting pissed. What I see here is he wants to interject but he's going I Don't see he's very controlled because he knows he has no control in the situation people who ex Exercises kind of control over other people strangle them to death and that kind of thing They have they're not going to be as open about their aggression with average people And especially sitting across from an FBI agent, but I think I see frustration I see him wanting to say something and defend himself There's a narrowing of his eyes Just as that blink rate increases and I see disgust or disdain or contempt or something You can't tell for sure. I mean he's got kind of a weird sideways thing But there's withdrawing of his lips back mark. You would call it a bitter taste. There's withdrawing of his lips back at 29 I think it's more about How he's perceived is what we're seeing here They're likely signs at his loss of control of the situation and this guy is pushing him around and I you see that lip Licking is a way of controlling frustration to me It's controlling emotion that downright eye movement is is emotion again and this guy I would just about bet you is really hot-headed to deal with and you know when they were doing their drugs or whatever We know that he was violent clearly when you can kill 33 people because they're talking about 29 buried on the property, but 33 people killed and there's some math Associated with he was Pogo the Clown for 33 flavors ice cream place when they asked me says that's kind of ironic That kind of thing. So it's it's a really interesting twisted story Scott. What do you got? All right His cadence his cadence and toner still up He's still he still sounds excited, but I agree with the Greg He's trying to hold back that anger at this point and he gives it a reason to it Gives reasoning to how he had no no knowledge of what happened or no knowledge of that. This isn't unusual but it's just kind of off and off right here and that's that's That's where I think more questions should be asked. I think right there if you were this isn't interrogation He's just talking to the guy just interviewing him But that's where you jump in and start asking more questions and almost start pushing him around to get that stuff out of The structure of that answer that's a red flag, but again not interrogation just an interview So the end isn't as an expression of contempt. That's where it stops there a lot of people gonna think Ah, there's a lot more there, but it's lip compression under stress and it's it looks like I said it looks like contempt It's not contempt So you still got that problem the right side of his mouth And I think that's a lot of what we're seeing with that because he tries to over overreact when he's We're overconfident when he's saying the vowel a where's with a unit it seems like he's overdoing it there But I think at the end there we see that lip compression due to stress. I know it in this case I think he got hit in the head with something. Oh, wait, you did say that didn't you chase you got here What what happened to is what do you get hit with a swing? It was a swing When he was 10 or 11, he suffered a traumatic brain injury in MTB. I'm mild Now when the when the search warrants were affected in your case, they did they did find an awful lot in the crawl space of your home Did they not well? Yeah, I had offered to sell them the house because I thought there was nothing down in the crawl space Yeah, I had never had any qualms about I'm going down in the crawl space Well, how many bodies were located on the property and where to my understanding? There was a total of 29 bodies or 28 bodies were found on the property 26 27 of them under the house and the rest One was under the driveway one was under the garage. So that makes total of 29. Okay John the media has has called you a homosexual killer. What is your position on homosexuality? I have nothing against it I'm I'm an outspoken liberal. I don't care for the Labeling I don't care for any labeling for that fact. Do you claim homosexuality? No, I would definitely not be homosexual I have nothing against what they do and I I don't deny that I Engaged in sex with males, but that I'm bisexual. They're bisexual, right? I my preference is women and I've been married enough times and have children and I See nothing wrong with it Chase want to go first? Sure So he grew up with tremendous shame around his sexuality and he grew up in an extremely abusive household physically abusive psychologically abusive and When the words homosexual killer come out, you'll see lip-persing and you'll see contempt and right after this You'll see perfect unilateral facial movement, which to me in my opinion would indicate that there's perfect bilateral Facial movement here in both sides of the face. But when he said when the interviewer says do you claim homosexuality? He's saying he doesn't like labels But then he calls himself an outspoken liberal, which is a label But right at this part where he's talking about do you claim homosexuality? We see an eyebrow flash We see emotional eye accessing down as the emotional part of his visual field We have vocal hesitancy, which is uncharacteristic for him. We have word repetition, which is uncharacteristic for him We have distancing language when he said would not be and there's more another right towards the end of this response There's a micro emotional accessing where his eyes just dart down to that really quick And I think at the moment we see bisexual, I think we see a contempt facial expression And when he says I see nothing wrong with it, we see the classic single shoulder shrug Which is uncharacteristic for him and suggests that a person Disagrees with what they're saying or lacks confidence in in something that they're saying there. That's all I got there mark What do you got? Yeah, I agree so the logic that he has there of often saying he's he's not a and a at the same time is Is what I might call a frustrated logic if you try and follow his pattern there. It's just frustrating You get frustrated with it. You go. How are you saying this and not this at the same time? How are you? How are you saying that there are No categories at all and then using categories. I think it's Emblematic of the internal frustration that he has he has a huge frustration with how others and himself Categorizing his sexuality that I would chance my arm is where the violence comes from and it's coming out in this Bizarre logic that he has will see it later on as well where he does an a and not a category at the same time You can't have both, but he can he does have both He does try and have both at the same time and my guess is he has to manipulate the world around him in all kinds of ways by potentially putting on all kinds of costumes in order to make these things fit and when Because essentially what what we have here when when you say I don't like categories at all There are no categories essentially you get a breakdown of society you get Antisocial behaviors because they're just are no categorical rules Anymore as long as you've got built up around that kind of personality some things to keep it in place Some moderators because they might might not have their own great Moderators, but if they're still maybe in a marriage and they've still got friends or society around them enough They'll probably the society around them will moderate them enough but when those fall away you could get that surge of frustration born out in anger and violence and Potentially a succession of murders along the way, which is I think what we get here Anyway, Greg, what do you got on this one? Yeah, so we know his point of shame Whether should be ashamed or not He's this is something he's ashamed of because if he were not he would not be trying at all Turns to avoid it and that's exactly what we see here the first real blink rate increase We've really seen his blink rate goes through the roof on this and his head is moving a hell of a lot more than it did in the past Videos he doesn't complete sentences. He starts editing it as he speaks When he's asked are you a homosexual killer? There's a quick eye contact staring dead down the camera to see how that got perceived that That one comment and then you see him moving differently his head's more glitchy He does downright and when he says I would definitely downright We associate with emotion chase you brought up the emotional accessing piece when he looks down into his right We associate that with emotional eye accessing and then he does distancing language I would definitely not be homosexual and then he said I don't deny that Internal voice down to his left as he thinks about how to say this in the least damaging fashion There's a long pause and then he goes I engaged in sex with male Forget all the rest. This tells you that killing. He's okay with talking about killing But homosexuality. He's not willing to say he's a homosexual because he also likes sex with women That's as good as he can get to get away from the thing that he's most ashamed or hurt by and mark Probably I'm not the psychologist on this I bet he's been studied like a like a lab rat and then know what his you know It's fracture points and all those things work But I got Scott, what do you got? Yeah, it looks y'all have covered everything. I'm gonna go back over all that stuff I don't think he's a hide-and-hold lot here. He is some things and he separates himself Distances distances himself from homosexuality That's all he got. That's and that's basically a nutshell. Everybody said there John the media has has called you a homosexual killer. What is your position on homosexuality? I have nothing against you I'm I'm an outspoken liberal. I don't care for the Labeling I don't care for any labeling for that fact. I mean, do you claim homosexuality? No, I would Definitely not be homosexual. I Have nothing against what they do and I I don't deny that I Engaged in sex with males, but that I'm bisexual. They're bisexual, right? My preference is women and I've been married enough times and have children and I see nothing wrong with it The clowning was relaxation for me. I enjoyed entertaining kids like some people are you know, they They unwind in different ways either they're going out drinking or that I could put on clown makeup and I was relaxed And I enjoyed doing it. I was Twice it was only twice a month that I did Yeah, this was not using for a lure to draw kids to you is no we would visit different hospitals and Entertain the children there and we didn't entertain them with handcuffs or anything like that All we used was balloon animals and small toys and stuff like that But we also did parades and in the summertime like on 4th of July I used to be in four parades in one day I've always told people when I got in the clown makeup. I regressed in the childhood It was fun being a clown because you could you could be yourself or just let yourself go and act a fool You could be slapstick and funny and have a good time. That's why I always enjoyed clowning Clowning has taken a bad name Because of what they've used in my case All right, I've gone last in the last four so I go first on this one. His voice tone cadence cadence are relaxed and smooth It's a little bit fast, but I think that's because clowning excites him because one of things he really likes They're apparently the thing that really got him relaxed or got him mellowed out See stress mouth when he's interrupted by that by the guy talking to him in the middle of that discussion About one of his favorite things and it's it's a little bit more than a hint of anger as he as we see the lip compression there But just before lips compress that's when we see though that we see the both lips tightening and just a hint up here Going up showing anger Then he compares using handcuffs. He's talking about little children and going to entertain kids But he uses handcuffs juxtaposed against balloons That's it. That's that's odd. It goes back to that shallow affect we talked about earlier Whereas it's he sees no it doesn't bother him to be talking about handcuffs and things he used to murder people with or in those events and balloons and children at the same time That's all I got Chase what do you got? You never heard of the old handcuffs in the hospital with kids routine. Yeah, it's a classic, but nobody remembers it. Nobody remembers that When when the interviewer says are you gonna lure are you doing this to lure kids to you his adapting? increases to use Greg and Scott's word where he's starting to adjust papers on the table with both hands and we also see some Chin boss movement here where this muscle comes up grief or shame is what we see with that And when he says different hospitals we're trying to land at different hospitals He shifts to using team pronouns team focused He says we went around to different hospitals and we did this this is softening and Socializing the visits because there's a team at play here. It's not just me other people did this But then when he talked about for parades in one day, he shifts back to the self-pronouns and This shift can sometimes indicate where shame is hiding or where guilt is felt most Somebody goes into a team pronoun like a lots of people did this so it's widely accepted That's where you see hidden shame or hidden guilt And when he was talking about regressing in childhood He says I always tell people This is a phrase people use when they're unwilling to say it now and They have to quote some kind of past behavior Then we see an eyebrow flash to the interviewer, which is a request for approval. It's the biggest one yet I think his hands get more animated here And I think there's actual enjoyment on the face for dressing up and clown and making people happy I do think he derived some enjoyment from that And he's saying clowning is taking a bad name This is a perfect example of last-minute shift to internal dialogue to process what to say Right before he says clowning or clown is taking a bad name and then he's talking about how his case affected it It definitely did. I think Stephen King wrote a book off of this potentially And this is the internal dialogue shift that you'll see a micro shift down and to his right Or I'm sorry to to your right And as a fun fact To wrap up my little thing here his last meal in prison was Kentucky fried chicken and a pound of strawberries Greg what do you got? Yeah, I'm not gonna cover a lot because you covered a lot of it that great big request for approval You can't miss when he's doing that the one where he does right eye access And remember every time he was recalling something about his construction company He's looking over here whether it's wrote digital memory or something auditory I'm sure he found some really tough visual cue and it went up here when he's talking about those handcuffs His eyes went to the right that makes me a little concerned Whether it's with children or some other way that that came up in his mind The other one I would say is this I love dogs. I got a pack of dogs at all times Dogs roll in dead animals. You know how they do that so they don't smell like a predator and they can sneak up on things people who do really grandiose behaviors like I met Rosalind Carter. I'm doing this. I'm doing I'm always Looking behind the curtains on those guys just to say wait a minute not saying all people that do that Are bad guys But it's a really easy way to hide if you roll around and stuff and you look like and smell like other people Then they trust you I'm careful with that and when I see that clowning got a bad name You're dead on chase and watch that Internal dialogue is trying to think of something positive To say to come out of this mess because there's nothing positive. He can say about what he did That's the whole truth and all that good stuff that he did is now been taken down He probably did do good things for kids At the same time he's murdering teenage boys. It's just the way it goes Mark what do you got? Yeah, I think there may well be an element there greg of hidden in plain sight And we've seen that with others who are serial offenders Um that that immersing yourself in an entertainment role And especially around charity is a great way to deflect and distract from what's really going on Of course, I'm talking about savel that we may touch on at some point um So, uh, yeah, I agree with you as well greg. There's that look to the side on and we didn't entertain them with handcuffs or anything like that Look to the side and I see delight As well, you're right chase it could be delight for and a general delight about the enjoyment of of being a clown I think his enjoyment is probably about the release of playing a role the enjoyment of that release as he says, you know You can you can be a fool without penalty My guess is is there was a penalty for being a fool back when he was the kid This is a chance for him to be a fool in front of society and there is no penalty his dad is not gonna You know hit him around being stupid So there's freedom and and release and of course the costume helps him Transgress the usual social rules remember in the circus the clowns are the things that come out of the circus ring They get right in the audience with their buckets of water and slop and glitter and and the lions and the really dangerous things there They stay within that within that uh that circle So clowns are always known for transgressing the usual social rules and ultimately This is what he he does he transgresses the usual social rules of what you might What you might do with your sexual energy repressed sexual energy if you have no boundaries on it anymore And it turns into the the monstrous lineup of murders that he commits I would imagine That he potentially used other manipulative roles other roles Around these murders not necessarily a clown, but but other role play in order to manipulate people um into situations where they would they would accept as being Normal something that isn't normal that is antisocial or something antisocial about to happen I'm not quite sure how he how he got people into positions where I mean to murder 30 other people You gotta have a system you gotta have a You know you gotta have some kind of system my guess is there was some kind of role play that went on there As well and being a clown would be a great way to practice that Great way to see you know if I dress up in this costume if I do these kind of things How am I accepted? How can I do things that aren't normally acceptable in general society? The clowning was relaxation for me. I enjoyed entertaining kids like some people are you know they They unwind in different ways either either were going out drinking or that I could put on clown makeup and I was relaxed And I enjoyed doing it. I it was uh Twice it was only twice a month that I did. Yeah, this was not used in for allure to to draw kids to you is No, we would visit different hospitals And entertain the children there and we didn't entertain them with handcuffs or anything like that All we used was uh balloon animals and small toys and stuff like that But we also did parades and in the summertime like on 4th of july I used to be in Four parades in one day. I've always told people when when I got in the clown makeup I regressed in the childhood. It was fun being a clown because you could You you could be yourself or just let yourself go and act a fool You could be slapstick and funny and have a good time. That's why I always enjoyed clowning Clowning has taken a bad name I Because of what they've used in my case Uh, just to just want to highlight uh on uh John zik, you know, they want they want to make such an issue over john zik And his disappearance. I think he was killed for his car personally And you and your personal knowledge of this of the zik uh case then is uh is my personal knowledge of the zik cases is that I had come home And zik and rossi were at the house. I had a few drinks I went to bed when I woke up the the next morning rossi was sleeping on the couch and zik was dead on the floor I went about my own business and he was gone Later on and where did he go? Where did he end up? I assumed he ended up in the crawl space Did you see him being transported down there? No wasn't present didn't do the didn't do the transporting But when he was dead, he was dead on the floor. He was dead on the floor. Yes And did you have conversation with anybody about that? No In other words, I uh, I just kept my mouth shut because I didn't want to get involved My idea was to just stay out of it. All right, greg what do you got? Yeah, this is a creepy creepy one not like the restaurant But when he talks about the guy starts off with kind of some lip movement. He's agitated He stutters and stammers a bit one of the more interesting things that we see in this video is hiding time without ever verbal bridging It is a beautiful hiding time. I went to bed I got up the body was there never said He said he went to bed. He never said there were any fighting or anything else He never said that he didn't kill him. He simply said when I got up the body was on the floor And then that is a beautiful case of hiding time just a way to avoid it when he says If you watch him he's eye blocking in the middle of that and then when he says I went about my business Watch that request for approval. We didn't see it earlier, but we certainly see it now and scott. I'm gonna steal one of yours He does the chicken movement in his head and his eyes staying locked the whole time his eyes don't leave it all He's doing the romance or he's eye locking trying to make sure the guy's paying attention to the things he wants him to And watch it's one of the more odd things here that request for approval goes in and then he says Um, did you see his blink rate goes through the roof? And He his blink rate also flashes pretty hard when he says I didn't want to be involved. I'll never mind the guy's in your basement You thought he's in your basement Okay, mark you can come to my house to kill somebody just clean up police. Exactly. Put him down in the basement Everybody knows that you'll go about your business Everybody knows that this is another good example of feeding the wrong wolf to use all those analogies People use about the good wolf and the bad wolf and which one you feed this guy has been feeding the wrong wolf It's clear. Let's taste what you got Uh, so this is one of the rare times we actually see full question repetition When we asked him about personal knowledge of the zik case, he does a full question repetition And when he's saying the zik was dead on the floor He tries to socialize this awkward situation using facial and in head movements like you were talking about kreg Then this is a total lack of normal baseline narration with hands. There's it's gone And then he's just went about his day You know, just like anybody else would after they just step over a dead body on their floor And there's a lot of hesitancy here. He's not known for hesitancy. So we're seeing a lot of deviation from baseline Nobody's saying I went about business and he was gone. There's vocal hesitancy there Hiding time or missing time. Whatever you want to call it is Pretty good. And there's a large eyebrow flash like great. You were talking about A small shift to internal dialogue, which I won't really dig into but here's the crux of this Here's the most important thing to take away from this This is a normal part of his story Because it's normal for him if there was a body and he didn't kill it. He wouldn't care I don't think it would have emotionally affected him and I think he believes just like everybody else We tend to think other people are just like us and that's one of our biggest mistakes when we interrogate people When we influence other people we automatically assume Everybody's like me, you know, like That's why some some guys get their wives like chain saws for their for a christmas gift or something like that I want to give them what I want to get As a quick footnote, he was diagnosed by multiple psychologists with antisocial personality disorder And there's a lot more on that to come in the next video Scott, what do you got? All right Once give me see this shallow affect displayed as he talks about waking up and finding a body in the living room Doesn't bother him doesn't seem to bother him. He talks about it like it was something normal For example, if he talks about like I walked in and this one guy sleep on the couch And there's a bunch of dirty clothes there in the floor bunch very laundry. That's like nothing to him He's not showing the emotions you should show or you would expect one to show in this if it really did happen Um, and they experienced that we're not seeing any of that at all not even a little bit Um The again this goes back to my theory of the of the difference in a clinical psychopath and the one who has Amygdala damage or or damage to the limbic system somehow He he doesn't something and the difference in in the clinical psychopath They may attempt to show some kind of of emotion during this because they know they should they've been watching other people They don't understand what emotions are so over the years they watch and they mimic them He's not even mimicking here. So I think there's not that part of his brain. That's why I don't think he's the Born this way. I think some happened to him because he doesn't even try to mimic that He doesn't try to to pretend it's normal or or Not normal. He doesn't have the the facial expressions that show and that came in and this guy was dead on the Nothing, he shows no emotion. What's over? What's whoever in there in that? So for me in this situation, there's no rational thinking or thinking that a rational person would do When those emotions should be shown, we're not we're not seeing those. I don't think he thinks that way All right, what do you got? All right Yeah, so social behavior social behavior and and there's been some nights You know where you you go to bed and you get up the next morning You go downstairs and you're kind of climbing over bodies And you know you check to see that you know people are okay And then yeah, you go back your business you go off to work and you kind of hope they'll have been gone by Lunchtime and their hangovers have disappeared. You know you kind of hope In his particular case You know if it were me and I'm climbing over bodies and one of them's dead Like that would be the point where you then do not go about your business, you know It's all gone pear shaped clearly and and you know, there's a whole bunch of ramifications But the usual social responsibility is if somebody's dead You have to deal with all of that all of that stuff for him. Yes. It's odd, isn't it? Had a drink went to bed dead people dead person went about my business That is antisocial. It's not the norm for a social society. Now what really for me Pins this one down and I always dislike seeing this is bureaucratic behavior We've had it in the numbers We've had it in the way that he organizes things and now you see him shuffling the papers Now you see it's like the end of the news report Shuffling shuffling the paper. These are just papers. These are just, you know, lists of numbers and and things Things that died things that I buried Yeah, very bureaucratic behavior again a great example of this is not somebody you put in charge of countries You don't let them be put in charge of anything where they're in charge of large amounts of human life It's not going to go well. Not going to go well at all shuffling those papers massive red flag for me Just just want to highlight uh and John zik, you know, they want they want to make such an issue over john zik And his disappearance. I think he was killed for his car personally And your in your personal knowledge of this of the zik uh case then is uh is my personal knowledge of the zik cases is that I had come home And zik and rossi were at the house. I had a few drinks I went to bed when I woke up the the next morning rossi was sleeping on the couch and zik was dead on the floor I went about my own business and he was gone Later on and where did he go? Where did he end up? I assumed he ended up in the crawl space Did you see him being transported down there? No wasn't present didn't do the didn't do the transporting But when he was dead he was dead on the floor He was dead on the floor. Yes Did you have a conversation with anybody about that? No In other words, I uh, I just kept my mouth shut because I didn't want to get involved My idea was just just stay out of it I was 19 when I ran away and that was in In 80 not 80 60 61 I went to las vegas for three months Took off took my car and left. Yeah, I worked for palm mortuary Being the night man picking up bodies at the hospitals and stuff for them. I worked as a night man only I did they have nothing to do with the bodies all this talk that I slept with the dead ones or Had sex with dead bodies that there is no truth to any of that He didn't live in the mortuary. I lived in the mortuary. Yes, but not in the embalming room I mean they make it sound like you know, I slept in the crypts with them And I never climbed into a coffin or anything like that. That that is so damn ridiculous It you know, it's the same thing the contention is that I slept all night with robert peace If you want to say slept in the same house with a dead body. Okay fine. I'll buy that but in the same room. No And besides the dead won't bond to you It's the living you got to worry about All right, greg what do you got? I'm gonna just have a few there's this is a heyday This is one of the creepiest things we're gonna see ever ever ever and all the things we watch and we've seen some doozies There's more right I accessing is he's recalling facts even though he's saying and denying When he's talking about having sex with dead bodies and that kind of stuff He's nervous smile shows up and it's out of baseline. You think well, that's pretty creepy until he outright laughs And a lot of people will do a nervous laugh To push away to distance away from things. They don't realize they're doing it It's just all out nervous laughter and he has no idea how creepy that is because he continues to dig a hole He says Well, you know, I might have slept in the house with a dead body but not in the room with a dead body Well, I don't think the whole contention that you were sleeping with the body How do you think you do with the fact he's dead in your house? I think there's more more connotation here than we're hearing And then here again is one of those what we feed we become this guy has fought for so long It's normal to do the kind of goofy stuff. He's done the horrific stuff He's done that it's become normal and Every day for him I think he shows disappointment that we can go back and look at the rest It's disdain or something in his lower face when he screws up the date That disappoints him. We're back to a control Personality and that disappoints him and we can go back and look at the rest of those And then the only time I see a request for approval is when he's saying the contention is I slept in the house with this guy or in the bed with this guy Okay, I may have slept in the house, but I didn't do the other And then he says that the dead are not the dangerous ones the living are And we certainly know that by talking to him. I'll leave it at that and say scott. What do you got? Back to the big head illustrations and he sounds like a child when he's talking about the Accusations of sleeping with dead bodies. That's I mean The smiles the laughter in the eye contact While he's discussing this are what nightmare movie characters are made out of This is this you see this one on those horrible movies where where you see just And what they do is juxtapose that normal Behavior against just creep factor 10 and that's what we're seeing here Then to jump from one sentence like you were saying Greg to where he's using human stuff for the first time we actually see it to to uh To an explanation. This is the first time we actually see Concern on an expression of concern where his focus is that And uh, the these behaviors just don't go together not not at all except in a horror movie That's all I tell you to see him chase. What do you got? I honestly believe that his denial about sleeping with him is truthful But none of the other stuff is In in in many cases an interrogator might make a false claim that's unrelated to the crime to get a baseline of truthful denial behavior So I may be talking to somebody's charged with $10,000 of theft and I may talk about human trafficking On to that to get what a truthful denial it should look like out of that person While he was working at this mortuary several staff members reported that he did have an what they call the unusual fascination with the bodies No one uh suggests that it was of a sexual nature but I think Gacy is a quintessential example of dr. Pinkas's formula theory where He has all these things these there's three things that make a perfect psychopath or that make a quintessential psychopath And this is abuse mental illness and brain injury and that according to dr. Pinkas It's p i n k us. I'll put a link in the description right below us here They make a serial killer And his bizarre behavior was never really explained but after his execution on request by Dr. Morrison His brain was examined. They found no trace of abnormalities whatsoever. So he does have psychological and physical abuse mental illness an early childhood brain injury And as a bonus to add on to that he had something called klinefelter syndrome And klinefelter syndrome is also called 47 x x y which is there's an x x y when it should be an x y on the 47 chromosome long story you can look it up if you want But even after testing this having this syndrome makes you more prone to more serious crimes And this is even after adjusting for socioeconomic variables like education father figures cohabitation all that kind of stuff That makes people more likely for sexual abuse arson murder etc And the klinefelter syndrome is something that that was confirmed. He did have so he had the perfect storm of all three of Those things plus a genetic predisposition to violence and psychopathy Mark, what do you got? Yeah, so I would say he knows that he's going into the most Antisocial behavior when he starts telling the story about the the mortuary And I think I detect that from his laughter because he protests too much He's laughing so far out of his usual baseline here that that From my point of view, I would say he's utterly trying to distract from what we know Look most people have come across killing other people murder It's it's but interfering with dead bodies That's quite an extreme Also, the the human body when dead has almost zero power And so what a great way to exert Power over something with no power now. He also has a confounded and frustrating logic around this He says nothing to do with the bodies But before that he said picking up the bodies and stuff for them Well, if picking if it's if it's about nothing to do with the bodies and that is not a Picking up the bodies is a so you can't have both at the same time. It's just logically Impossible. He's confounded in the logic. He's frustrated by that. I worked only as the night As the the night man. I worked as the night man only So that would suggest that If there's interference with bodies, that's got to be done by a day person clearly, you know If I if I was only there at night was only there at night So I kind of interfered with them. Well, no, you're more likely to have had less people around to see you I grant you chase that that maybe others didn't see him Having any kind of sexual relationship with with with bodies because they weren't there at night when he was the only person there And just like Savile We get we get a whole bunch of Possibility there of of how can you have the most power? Over another human being well interfering with them when they're dead It's a huge power play and therefore it's antisocial because we know that you know For human being has lived the life. They're at the least power when they're dead And so they need protecting around that because people would take advantage of that And so we have all kinds of social lessons around how you deal with dead people What you do with dead people and what you don't do with dead people. He's breaking the rules That's antisocial personality disorder. Absolutely confounding those rules. Yeah, that's all I got on that one He's an odd guy. I'll give him that He's very odd. I was 19 when I ran away and that was in in 80 not 80 60 61 I went to los vegas for three months took off took my car and left. Yeah, I worked for palm mortuary Being the night man picking up bodies at the hospitals and stuff for them. I worked as a night man only I did they have nothing to do with the bodies all this talk that I slept with the dead ones or Had sex with dead bodies that there is no truth to any of that He didn't live in the mortuary. I lived in the mortuary. Yes, but not in the embalming room I mean they make it sound like you know, I slept in the crypts with them And I never climbed into a coffin or anything like that that that is so damn ridiculous It you know, it's the same thing the contention is that I slept all night with robert peace If you want to say I slept in the same house with a dead body. Okay fine. I'll buy that but in the same room No And besides The dead won't bother you It's the living you got to worry about I I have a lot of things that I've forgotten that I can't remember For instance, I can go back to my childhood and stuff and I still remember that but yet you can I can go into the 70s And there are a lot of things I can't remember the same thing with the victims I've looked at all of I don't know if you notice here We've got pictures of every one of the victims here and believe it or not for the last 12 years I've studied these photos of the victims and There is no We have a shot of all of the victims together here And When you look over the photos, I have no recollection of any of never met them And we've gone over this more than once. They're just names and faces And when you when you look at them Uh The thing of it is we took it a step further. We went into their backgrounds I wanted to know where they were at what schools they attended who they hung out with And what kind of activities they were into and that's what we dug up on each one of the victims But still there is no association None of them never worked for me none of them They never went to any places that I ever hung around because I didn't hang around that many places unless you're involved in politics Or are you if you were involved in clowning then I might have ran into you But there's no way I could have run into any of them All right, greg what do you got? I'm not going to cover a whole lot. I'm just going to tell you this is among the creepiest things I've ever seen This is a trophy case for this guy. That's the reason he is Hands all over he's golem and this is the precious. That's all this is This guy's got his hands all over this when he's flipping to show you his trophies Look at his face. Just pay attention to this guy change in his cadence. Look, I don't know any of these I'm going to tell you why I don't know them and then he flips to them Well, come on. These are murdered children. Most of them somewhere adults I think but murdered children He's flipping to it with glee. There's no look. This is a sad thing. There's none of that This is a trophy for him And then he's got this brow up as he says unless you're in politics or clowning. I wouldn't know them That's request for approval These are victims And he never says one time I did not kill any of these people. He said I know them their faces and names That's one of the sickest things I've seen in this entire thing chase what you got He starts with his memory loss statement and rolls right into the photos Just citing that he has no memory of meeting them. So he says I have memory loss Let me just put that out there and then talk about some more memory loss I think it's interesting that he marks the page and continues to flip while he talks the page is marked by his ring finger So it's like the page is marked with a finger And then he's looking through the book and finally decides to flip to that. It's marked the whole time. He hasn't marked I don't know why that is if you do Let me know in the in the comments. I'm going to read them In court Gacy's defense argued for this serious mental impairment after these APD diagnoses were received from all these psychologists and the court didn't really buy the story about impulse behavior Citing and I quote if gacy had 33 irresistible impulses Just how was it that he dug the graves in advance? Which which they which they prove And going back just to give you one more interesting fact about this and mark you were talking about this earlier In his vehicle, they found a radio and a police a magnetic police siren And figured out that he regularly posed as a police officer Which would almost just knowing how human beings respond to perceived authority He would almost have carte blanche to get anybody He wanted to get a into handcuffs or b to get into the car and take him where he wanted to take him That's all you got Scott All right, I agree with you guys and greg you're right this Search for victim information is a form of trophy exhibition That that that's all it is sometimes a serial killer will take As what they call a trophy when they take a finger they'll take hair They'll take photos or a piece of clothes, you know clothing something like that And that's their trophy and it triggers the memory of the horror they brought on this person or whatever they get from it the Excitement from it. And so that's why I'll take those things And the rest is just an excuse He used the excuse for saying I didn't know these people. I can prove it. I looked at him I don't know who any of these people are how I never came in contact with any of them Goes to your thing chase if he or yeah, if he was pulling people or mark who said the siren thing was that you mark Okay, if he was doing that Yeah, of course, he'd never see he'd have no reason to be to be connected with him before and I mean that that's crazy so That's the only thing he would bring that up. I think In the first place is for to show he had nothing to do with him, but I think it's trophy exhibition. That's that's all it is Mark where you got Yeah, believe it or not. He says and yeah, this is something from ripples believe it or not This is madden to the swords quality kind of horror. We've got here One thing that I find quite strange is we've been over this more than once we've been it I'm still don't understand who the we is. I can't work out whether he's socializing this Whether he does have some partner involved or people involved in making this this book that he's that he's got there Or there's some other Persona there alongside him. I'm not sure Um, they're just names and faces when you look at them They're just names and faces when you look at them. So back to that bureaucratic piece We took it a step further. He says and because I wanted to know so he's kind of saying I've investigated me better than anybody else and found me innocent Uh of of most all of these apart from the ones that I'm not innocent of it still confounds me As to why he wants to distance himself from some but not all of these Crimes I can't work out What is plan is around that? It seems to me from what I've heard there can be no sentence reduction. There can be no appeal You know other than it is a it is a classic of antisocial Personality disorder that that they can downplay and upplay things in bizarre manners and and twist and turn Those number one to to be manipulative and two because that's the way they see the world That day because they're not conforming to our usual sociological norms So it could be it could be that Um, yeah, that's all I got on this one. He's uh, he's about as strange as we've ever Had I I have a lot of things that I've forgotten that I can't remember For instance, I can go back to my childhood and stuff and I still remember that but yet you can I can go into the 70s And there are a lot of things I can't remember the same thing with the victims I've looked at all of I don't know if you notice here We got pictures of every one of the victims here and believe it or not for the last 12 years I've studied these photos of these victims and There is no uh We have a shot of all of the victims together here And uh, when you look over to the photos, I have no recollection of any of never met them And we've gone over this more than once they're just names and faces And when you when you look at them, uh The thing of it is we took it a step further we went into their backgrounds I wanted to know where they were at what schools they attended who they hung out with And what kind of activities they were into and that's what we dug up on each one of the victims But still there is no association None of them never worked for me none of them They never went to any places that I ever hung around because I didn't hang around that many places unless you're involved in politics Or are you if you're involved in clowning then I might have ran any But there's no way I could have run into any of them. All right. Well, let's throw around the room and Very quickly 30 seconds or less tell what we think about this case Or this guy and uh, we'll wrap it up mark. What do you got? Yeah, I I would say There's a lot of calm around stuff But then just go to that moment where he just starts laughing Around the interference with uh with in the mortuary That's quite a big differential I only point that out because those are the kind of big Differentials that we're often looking for to go. Well, what's that about? Why be so calm here around dead people? And then why be laughing at these dead people over here? What's going on there? So great differential there chase Yeah, I agree. I think this this whole thing was just a It's an example of a perfect storm Of everything coming together that could possibly manufacture a psychopath all happening As it as it possibly could and he becomes a horror movie level psychopath in fact, they do make movies about him and That's that's really what we're seeing here and I think This he had a dissociative capacity that was present So anybody most people that are have any kind of abuse and childhood become good at dissociating and removing themselves from events And I think him just having that little bit of capacity Made him use that as a defense in trial, but it was absolutely in my opinion Not the case. There was no dissociation. There was some alter ego. He named jack I think that was responsible for some of these crimes, which is not the case But he used his capacity for dissociation as a defense. Great Yeah, mark to your point when you say you wonder why he's doing this I think because he needs to be admired for something and even if that is something horrific He needs to be admired. That's the reason he's willing to say I've done these but not these I didn't sleep with dead people. I'm not a homosexual the things that he's drawn a line in his mind matter He separates himself from and if you want evidence, he needs admiration Met Rosalind Carter was tied up in politics was tightly tied to the polish festival drove that This I think the clown thing was more about admiration than the other piece So when I see that and I see the control pieces. Yeah, whatever made him a psychopath Thank god, they're not many of them like him because we know 33 people died as a result of him And he's gone out of lethal injection But what a horrific story and you can see how calmly he talked about it Just like I said with a cooking oil story. That's what he's doing and he rolled around in Something so he would look and smell like normal people and be able to pick up his victims He says and some of it is verifiably not true. He didn't know any of these people There's one of the guys who was working room who came up missing which is what started all this thing So, you know, he casual he's comfortable lying and arbitrarily altering the truth to fit him Just so he can be admired scott. What do you got? Yeah, I think this is a great example in my opinion of The psychopath the differences in a psychopath being born and one being creative how be creative How he's been creative and I think it's it's a the whole thing You're right. It makes great movies. It makes a fantastic movie and it's it's all set up It's got the clown stuff the things that scare us as a kid Even though it's supposed to make as happy as a kid as adult clown scares to death So I think it's a great example of The juxtaposing the the created one by the one that's born that way Uh, in my opinion So, all right fellas, I think this is a good one and we'll see you next time	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzoy54gMitc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Our next speaker is Steve Maeda Steve Maeda is not only a personal friend. He is the longest running independent speaker in 21 convention history Second only to myself and actually speaking at the event. He's spoken now at 11 events at a 13. It was fucking awesome He is also the founder of the heroes dinner, which you guys enjoyed last night Which is now a highlight of the 21 convention since 2008 He's the founder of the sexual life and the speech is giving you today on addiction It's something that he's worked on and thought about for years. He's spoken to me about it for at least two three years now He's very passionate about it. He has some very unconventional views on it. I'm excited to finally hear them Please help me welcome Steve Maeda at the stage Thank you. All right Thank you so much. It's always an honor to speak here and Every time I speak I try and start off with you know What this is all about and what this is about in all the speeches that I give and choose to give are about men Moving into personal excellence so you can be your best self, but it's also Would be kind of naive for me to not thank my family and start off with a love for them as well Maria's in the back. Our kids are at home Sam a stay bond and then also Zephan and Kai love you guys even when I'm not with you and also this is about Addiction so if it's something that you're struggling with or you know wondering about that's what we're gonna talk about and it's really Serving that purpose so sex drugs and porn addiction and modern culture We're gonna be talking about all that today and there's a couple reasons for it You know, we hear a lot about it with men and with You know our journeys and there's a lot of misinformation about it and the reason why I was asking Anthony about presenting The on the speech years and years ago was because I'd watched so many different TED talks and I'd hear different Coaches and therapists talk about this stuff and it really rubbed me the wrong way partially because I'm an addict and here we have the fancy little definition of what an addict is but Doesn't really describe me that well, I mean I fit within those things, but to be more specific Drug addicts, you know, I've been an addict since I was 14 years old. All right. I have overdosed multiple times I've been revived. I've lived the life of what that means, which is pretty bad and Man, I mean like I know what it's like to just Have my life completely absorbed by that and live on the animal level of what that means Or of what that where that takes you and we'll get into a little bit of that also sexual addiction and I believe addiction is one whole thing that just takes hold at different parts of your life and I've Had that too. I've had it ruin my relationships I've had it ruin my friendships and I've made my life in an obsession and compulsion to find pleasure outside of myself Whatever that might be whether it's putting a pharmaceutical in my body heroin in my body alcohol in my body or finding sex in some sort of way to feel different and In this speech though what I want to look at is addiction is two different things This is what's going to make it a little bit unique Hopefully a lot of things make you unique, but the first thing is is that addiction is a natural phenomenon And so me coming from a place where you know, it's like hey, man You know, I am a drug addict and I forgot to say that it is one of my most proud things It's literally been what has made everything work And since I've been speaking at the 21 convention and been a coach and all these things for the past ten years that Foundation of addiction was was a huge thing for me But I also want to talk about the disease or the disorder and there's a lot of different terminology speculation there I use the term disease, but there's a bunch of neuroscientists that are kind of like moving around that term I don't really care about that, you know I think a lot of the stuff they're saying is right and I just kind of well throughout the term disease every once in a while and also what's super important about this is that Myself coming from a recovery vein that means I had a problem with addiction and have worked with it and hopefully have Managed it and all these different things and know the life of that. There's also the Medical community talking about it. There's also the scientific community talking about it There's also the public talking about it and the interesting thing is is all seem to be divided There's a little bit right and a little bit wrong about each and every single one of those communities and it confuses everybody about it So I choose to for this speech use the definition of addiction is a lifestyle That is built on the obsession and compulsion of finding something outside of yourself to make you feel better That's what I got in and that's what we're going to talk about whether that's the phenomenon the natural phenomenon or the disease and disorder So sex drugs and porn This is the reason one of the reasons why I wanted to give this speech and was so passionate about giving it and man I I would get so fired up and I would email Anthony or call him and I'm like man I got to give a speech about addiction He's like well, maybe you know and I just kept bugging him and bugging him and bugging him and I'd see this I say everything you know about addiction is wrong and this guy says some stuff and some of it might be right But in my opinion a total misinterpretation and not have anything to do with my story of being somebody who put heroin into My body hoping that I die multiple times and even passing out and being revived that I just needed a hug or hearing that Vietnam veterans Which these are these are true things But once again as we were hearing multiple times in this convention stats that are misinterpreted And I feel have a propaganda nature to them your brain on porn the Whatever this one is which is what is it the? the great porn experiment right and all these different things See before these things were popular about porn or the theories of addiction and all this sort of stuff as Ted talks I had already worked through a lot of this stuff and me being a sex addict. In fact, I'll tell you this It sucked and I looked at the pickup community. There's nobody Everybody was talking about their sexual behavior and activity wasn't talking about the pain their reality They weren't talking about what it was like when you felt the empty feeling of having sex and having sex with multiple women Over and over and over again to the point where it goes two three years And you think you hate having sex and then all of a sudden you actually connect with somebody and you you feel an emotion And you go my god, I did love it, but wait a minute. This is confusing. What is this? And you don't hear people talking about it You're the side effect and the frustration of you've got to be alpha and you've got to you know do these things and One there's a polarization. There's good sexual behavior. There's bad sexual behavior We're only going to do the good kind and there was such a gray line in between that and actually who I sought out and Help with sex addiction was all porn people and I'd bring that up all the time and when I'd hear dating coaches say porn is evil I'd be like man. They were the only people that helped me and you didn't You you were you were full of shit. You were lying and buying your own Kool-Aid Anyway, let's go with this stat another reason why I'm giving this speech one out of four one out of four of my clients I've been a coach for ten years. So people that come to the sexual life Have a problem with sexual dysfunction and they equate it to porn or the use of pornography But here's what's even worse if you take that to guys who are under the age of 27. So 26 and down It's eight out of ten. That's fucking crazy, right eight out of ten guys that come to me say look I Have a problem and or actually it's more like this like hey, so what's your program about and I'm like so I Have this thing where like I have sex and it's really hard and I'm like no man. Come on So it's like premature ejaculation You can't get an erection or you know, there's a pornography thing going you watch like this is your brain on porn and and this is this big deal Right. Yeah, but it's a super unique individualized thing, but it's eight out of ten And so when they come to our groups and we have this huge community everybody's like oh, man Awesome, they're like no no you don't understand. We're like no we totally understand And so it's very easy when you see that eight out of ten I mean that's for real and now that's my company. I have a company that focuses on sex And it may get a different sort of client, but that's a lot man That's a lot and so it's very easy to go Addiction or porn addiction is ruining your life porn addiction is an epidemic amongst young men it's destroying young men sex lives and causing Huge spreads of sexual dysfunction the neurological pathways in your brain are being rewritten It's this impossible thing that's coming about you make you hate women It'll make you hate yourself and it's very very easy to draw those conclusions from that It seems like a no-brainer, right, but again that wasn't my experiment or experience so I want to do an experiment and And I remember when when this happened now, it's very clear to me But I was like no this is this is bullshit because when I was having problems and I would watch pornography for 11 hours straight a day and I would go and have sex with a bunch of different chicks and feel nothing I was just nuts. It was in and I was in that mode, right? I was like, you know what I want to do. I Want to create a group of guys Okay, so this is the first time we did it and I want to create a group of guys And these guys are gonna be either recovering drug addicts. They're gonna be recovering sex addicts Or they're gonna be brand-new. They're gonna have no sexual experience experience Right, and we're gonna form a group and we're gonna agree to masturbating to porn for a certain amount of time every single day Okay, and so my average I committed to two hours a day I was gonna masturbate to in and I loved it because at the time I wasn't watching a lot of porn Right I had in the past, but I was like, oh man I'm gonna revisit this all my old all my old buddies online who don't know me, right and let's see Let's see what Laila stars up to I haven't seen her in a while and But the thing is is that every week we'd meet two to three times and sometimes more and we talk about it Now here's how we talk about it because you can't just talk about it. Just say yeah, I watched this and da da da We we were guys that were already in recovery So we had a little bit of a taste of what this was about, right? And we had no judgment if there was anything illegal It was not our place in the group to report it. Okay. This was about openness You know, we weren't the social police or anything So we weren't there to judge that and we were gonna be totally honest about all of our experiences now since then there was a little bit There's a few caveats to this if you were causing harm you just couldn't do the group So if you were actually inflicting harm on other people couldn't happen But if you had desires or pursued things but didn't take the action that were illegal or causing harm That was that was fine and we had to have that openness and then as it later went on We We basically we said like look if you're in the midst of a porn or sex addiction You're gonna chill out. You're just gonna join the group You're not gonna make any commitment to watching porn But you're gonna chill out and you're gonna get to know the guys and learn to be open, right? And so what were the results, right? What would you think would happen? All right, the same qualities of erectile dysfunction sexual performance problems hatred towards women distance from your partner Sexual dissatisfaction. We're all fleeting and they were quickly resolved if they even happened And so this would happen to me. I would not want to have sex. I'd be like well I'm not gonna fuck my chicken. I'm gonna jerk off the porn but but the thing was I had a group to talk about it and the Because we were so honest about it. It was like well, you know, sometimes I feel this it wasn't a big deal We took a lot of that that You know power away from it. All right And so the interesting thing was is because there was less shame wrapped around sex In fact, there was none right if we had shame we talked about it because some of us would have it We needed to talk about it, you know masturbation and a variety of sexual behaviors that that the people desired Including their ways of masturbating or ways are watching porn Man, they didn't carry that same weight The individual started to be proud of their sex lives and be okay with it And actually I wouldn't even say be proud of it. Maybe that was the first stage But ultimately see that it was normal Whatever they were doing even if they were into some crazy stuff There was a result of their sexual trauma in the past or whatever it was because we deal with sex addicts It's it's a it's a pretty interesting thing that they now saw that as normal Like well, I get off of this and this might be absurd to the general public, but man This is what I like so we actually watched more porn let ourselves get totally carried away with it But we took away the shame and repression Okay, so we took away the you're bad for this. This is a bad behavior and of the repression We took away the I can't do this. There was no longer a black and white You could do whatever you wanted and you could express it So if I'm going like I have a sex drive But I'm gonna halt it and not watch porn so I could be an authentic man or whatever thing You're gonna tell yourself you will not succeed in that you have to force that and Repression causes things to break and they may not break in the ways that you think they do All right, so in order for this to be true There had to be a fundamental problem with all the different stuff people were saying about addiction About porn and how it affected you All right, so the interesting thing about this group is it's been repeated over and over and over and over again and it's been repeated for seven years non-stop and In those seven years we realized that this isn't a quick fix There's nothing sexy about it It takes time and it will take hard work and if you do have a problem You're gonna have to unlearn it in a little bit and it is a process, right? But give yourself six nine months of sitting in our groups You'll get a lot better where you didn't get better before so this group is TSL online But more importantly then TSL online you should check this out the sexual life comm slash addiction There you can download the slides for this, but also you can look at a video Which is on the 21 convention website called everything you know about porn and masturbation is wrong You should check that out where this go the porn stuff goes more into detail Also, there's other resources that if you're struggling with addiction We'll get into the other ones that you can check those out you can also contact me and join some of our free online groups where we talk about this stuff and There we go, so let's go back to this one out of four eight at eight out of ten How can you beat that? What's up with that? Well check this out one out of four or that eight out of ten? That's under twenty six or twenty seven They were all clients who sought help with somebody else before us most likely a dating coach and a therapist All right. There's nothing wrong with therapy. Therapy is awesome. I encourage it But I'm sharing this speech to give you some awareness on what you got to look for right and they all felt unresolved with their issues around porn sex and it turned into a desperation that nothing could work that Nothing that they were doing because they did everything and the interesting stuff is is if you follow a lot of the stuff that people talk About on reddit or different dating coaches or different therapists It'll take a while for it not to work and that collapse will happen a month or six months down the road maybe a couple weeks and This is this is the most interesting thing about this I Don't know a person who has got who's sought sexual therapy help and prescribe this sort of plan that has actually come out Sexually healthy. I've never met some I've met people on it and then like six months later They're like off looking for hookers in the worst part of town because they hate themselves or they think there's something equated to that I mean it's progressive. It's crazy, right? And so why why does this not work? Well proposed solution man It does not work. What is the general proposed solution? There's all sorts of different ones, but it is to not watch porn to not masturbate to learn to respect women because there must be a problem with you and your viewpoint on women that you learn from porn and rape culture and all the sort of stuff and This is another thing that my friend he got you went to a sexual therapist He's like porn was the problem Steve the neural pathways that we said Steve the neural pathways man She's the neural pathways. It was like I was like a rat in a cage. It was crazy And you know, there's some truth to that but then He said look I got to go on 20 dates before I touch a girl And I have to start rewiring how I rethink about women. He really tried this dude Nobody's gonna make that work, but what he said was he's like dude was totally successful because when I had sex I was able his problem was he wasn't able to orgasm or get an erection Which is a very common thing and he said I was able to do that it was like instant It was amazing. I was like, but you hadn't masturbated or ejaculated in 30 days, right? And so your body then takes over and it forces you to do it and then maybe Four or five more sexual encounters down the road maybe 10 maybe 20 the emotional things haven't been worked out, right? And there's still that shame. It's still that if you let that bad thought creep in Man, you're fucked. All right It produced shame and guilt around sexual behavior. So you couldn't do one thing, but you could do another All right, your way of thinking was wrong and it was also based on a lot of propaganda more than reality All right and propaganda when it comes to porn and masturbation is nothing new In fact, this is something that's covered in that webinar, which is on the 21 convention site But masturbation we've heard things like you go to hell. You're gonna go blind I mean, I mean this is crazy like if you masturbate as a kid 30 years ago 200 years ago You are fucked for your eternal for the rest of you can perceive life So maybe you live for 30 years or 40 years or maybe 60 years. That's your break That's when you get it good after that fuck you, you know, you and the devil are hanging out Makes you blind you get hairy palms you go sterile porn when porn came about and so porn You know pictures things like that but when it came out on film in the 30s behind the green door All sort of stuff. There's all this shit that came out. It's gonna make you a drug addict I remember when Jeffrey Dahmer got caught where there was a slide that I was gonna put an image on here But the image was too small and it said this is your brain on drugs and it showed the egg And this is your brain on porn and it showed Ted Bundy and this was stuff that my mom actually told me You know, she found pornography in my room like when I was whatever age 10 or 11 or I was drawing naked pictures And she said Jeffrey Dahmer did that and that was one of the true signs that made him a sociopath Now there's no more sociopaths. It's only psychopath, but whatever I can keep up with this stuff But in order to understand the pornography Propaganda you got to understand this amazing propaganda the war on drugs now the war on drugs What did it tell us drugs kill drugs kill people? That's clear drug traffickers are some evil evil dudes They kill people and drugs are the whores of addiction are real things. These are all very true You know, how could you argue with that? How could you man? I mean for me being in recovery I know somebody once a month that I have been friends with that has been that has died that dies I mean it fucking sucks, right and drug traffickers are bad people. You guys all saw Narcos. They're terrible, right? How can all this be wrong and so 40 plus years later? We realize there's a little bit more to the war on drugs Okay, you know drugs were a political tool. Nixon was having some troubles. He needed to regain some popularity It was a distraction. It was for-profit There was for self a grandization whenever people wanted to be noticed you could always bring up drugs You know was always an easy sell and the thing is is that it actually created all these problems with our prison system it created created all these problems socially for us and It caused the need for traffickers to take harsher measures. So it created more violence, right? And you know just made more hysteria around drugs. So this is the the partnership for a drug-free America All right, never in the history of the world has there been a drug-free society in fact Because of that you will always have a war on drugs You will always have an enemy and it's estimated but in the history of the world there has always been Something about point five percent of the population to three percent of the population that has a problem with drugs Okay, in these that's a small percentage, but still very very relevant one percent is a lot Right, but so you'll know somebody that's affected by this But think about this. Do you want a drug-free society if you had to have a drug-free society? What would that mean? You would have massive massive social oppression in order to get there and Perhaps the search for drugs and the search for looking and finding those different ways of thinking and feeling That's always been a part to what you know was the bedrock of our culture no matter what culture you had to think beyond So the war on drugs actually did nothing to help people who were addicted to drugs It had nothing to prevent drug addiction It did nothing to help find the causes of addiction But what it did was it polarized it and made it a war all right and that caused a lot of problems So it told us the drugs were a national and world emergency Also when they never really were okay, so here's the truth the truth about drug addiction And these are studies that are actually cited from Carl Hart's book high price which Interesting good guys one of the good guys, but I'd like to talk to him more and again That's what this for because I'd like to build more of a dialogue between guys who are scientists making progressive information About the you know what's going on with the brain and drugs and with people in recovery and with people who are Therapists and people who are into the medical definition of it But 80 to 90% of people who use drugs like crack cocaine crystal meth heroin oxycontin alcohol Marijuana do not get addicted to them. That's crazy and how this is actually worded It should be worded better is that if you use them regularly You will not get addicted that wasn't my story That wasn't my story in any way shape or form and me saying that knowing that these things You know mainly things like heroin or oxycontin or crack or meth killed so many of my friends man Me saying that was a big jump But that is the truth The truth about porn check this out over 80 over 90 percent of Young men will get caught up in a long-term excessive uses of masturbation That is going to happen. That is not unique That is not something which makes you different or screwed up or whatever and actually after several months or years You grow out of it. Okay, but you will sit in that tension of being carried away with it for a while 90% of Men will experience one or more sexual dysfunctions in their life including premature ejaculation inability to get an erection sustained an erection You know sexual anxiety before and after sex, but all these big things well happen, right? And they're different for everybody, you know and in different situations elicit them All right, those who experience these problems long-term and those who experience these problems and They seem to grow bigger and they do go on for years and they're not stopping Are all a specific group of people and if you're one of these people, that's fine All right, there's nothing wrong with you because of that You just have to take a different route and this was actually for me, right? You know, I am one of the one percenters. It's usually a good thing in this case But it's still a good thing just wasn't at the time But you had sexual trauma. You had heavy cultural or social oppression wrapping around sex and your viewpoints on sex and relationships All right, so that means the more shame and repression that you had Man Like you would be more likely to get carried away with this stuff. All right, so porn addiction is ruining your life Porn is an epidemic amongst young men. It's destroying your sex lives. It makes you hate women It makes you hate yourself. There's all these terrible things, right? They're rewires or neuro pathways yet you've tried everything you did it all But the interesting thing is the poor results don't come till six months down the road two months down the road or whatever It is and you read all about all this science all these authorities speaking on it What would that mean if it doesn't work for you? That means more shame And I can't tell you how many guys come to TSL the sexual life saying this didn't work There's a guy at the last 21 convention. He said man, I got carried away with this. I'm so glad I'm a part of your groups Because I went to a therapist and again not all therapists are bad But they're just not aware of what it is to actually be a sex addict and this guy wasn't a sex addict But they told him he wasn't it just it made him nuts. He couldn't do it He couldn't keep up with the pace of or lack of pace of not masturbating not watching porn every time he did it He felt terrible. There was no answer. So despite the general message about addiction It is almost always used as a tool to propagate something to self promote You know to use is a political tool But it does nothing for people that are having a problem with addiction Think about that and that's why it would piss me off every time I'd see those TED talks those fucking assholes I mean they could be great guys did not speak to me did not speak to me They did not speak to my friend who when she had 15 years clean and I had a year would show up at a restaurant I was broke as fuck and she'd give me her free meals Then later on when I had six or seven years relapse and she put a fucking gun to her head and her ex-husband's backyard It didn't speak to that You know, it didn't speak to all of my friends that did that shit man. It's so it's just crazy, right? You know, but but what were they speaking to a bunch of people who had sit to me sit with me at a dinner table Conversation or to think that they were all intellectual telling me that oh, well, you know rats in a cage You know the interesting statistic about that which it actually shows a great thing rat city, right? We've all heard about it put the rats in a place where they can hang out and play and you know, they don't kill themselves doing heroin or Cocaine, but you put them in a cage. They do it to the point of death Well, what do human beings do and actually human beings do it less than the rats because the rats still ten percent of them were addicted to drugs or kept doing it Human beings 1% 1% 3% right put human beings in a cage What do they do look at jails and drug use it's hard to tell to stay clean in in jail So another thing that we hear about is neuroscience and this is actually a really really cool part This was the thing I was most excited about talking about because we always hear about the neuroscience And we've heard a couple speakers talk about it, but we really break it down here now when you are in the phenomenon of addiction So remember we said we're going to talk about the natural phenomenon and then the disease and disorder of addiction and there are two really different things All right, so the natural phenomenon to addiction what happens is your brain lights up I love hearing that too, but it doesn't just light up. It works in this crazy complex way We're just going to isolate four areas of it here. You got to kind of be aware of it but these things light up not in just this one-set way and these ways that are just Amazing and totally diverse and crazy and it's awesome But we're going to look at the amygdala which actually stimulates emotions So anytime you get a surge of feeling something that's the amygdala and then it happens so fast the rest of the brain tries to interpret it This is the striatum which does a whole bunch of stuff But what we're talking about it here is that it pumps dopamine it regulates how much of that feeds all of this We're also going to talk about the accumbens which the accumbens is that thing which says right now do it now when you get tunnel vision When you can't stop thinking about one thing you're going to think or you're activating this little guy there And then the orbital frontal cortex. This is awesome This is what makes human beings human sock was talking about it Nick was talking about it But this whole area and this is just the orbital frontal cortex is in the brain for strategy makes you think This is the difference between us and pretty much any other animal because mammals all have this reptiles don't But a rabbit or a rat or a mouse can get by with an accumbens go now and an amygdala But a human being has this other thing where we can think strategize way the differences between Think about what's going to affect us in the future and so on right so much of the point where if we lived in a Cold environment we could build a house so much to the point when we talk to somebody We may have social urges to talk to them But we could think and weigh the scale of that and then have personality and conversation all these different things And so what we're going to talk about is how these things interact with each other when we're going through The natural phenomenon of addiction, so we're going to talk about these three things the trigger The high and the void All right now Let's move on to the trigger So the trigger is that thing which that thought or that action that? Stimulates that obsessive thinking and we've all been there We've all been here with so many different things, but the first thing that happens You know so maybe we're watching porn or maybe you're a drug addict and and you you see somebody on the street Or my friend was just telling me the other day was like man I was driving to work and I was at a red light and it was like man This light is taking a little bit longer than normal and then all of a sudden something about the amygdala goes boom boom boom go You know neuro pathways are a little bit exercise and all that sort of stuff We could talk about that a little bit later and then all of a sudden stride I'm boom dopamine starts to get a physical change in his mouth It starts to water or maybe you're watching pornography or you're sitting in front of the computer like me and you're typing stuff And you're going crazy and your brain's just nuts nuts nuts like wire and moving moving moving moving kind of like you're in a cage And then all of a sudden you're like well wait a minute Oh fuck man, I should watch some porn Jesus Christ And then all of a sudden my hands start to shake my heart beats a little bit faster my mouth salivates I start to smell different things I get a physical change happening all drug addicts talk about this physical change What's you get this awareness of when you're going to you know man? I'm gonna I'm gonna get loaded man It's before we put the drug in the body or anything like that And then there's a meaty scene an obsession and this is really cool right so the accumbens then comes into play And it's like no now now you can't think about anything else perhaps if I'm in front of the computer I'm already tunneled vision there, but now it's like well wait a minute. No, I got to do it I got to know I got to work. I got to get this done man. I've I'm under a deadline But fuck dude if I just fucking god man, and this is this is the other part I start to strategize right and that's where this The prefrontal cortex comes in but the orbital frontal cortex more specifically starts going you know what I can do this No, this is me. No, there's nothing wrong with this There's nothing absolutely wrong with this and and I'm gonna do it and perhaps You know Maria's calling me from downstairs, and then I just don't even think about it I just say I'm busy. I got to work on this. I got to finish this right that's the strategy coming around I don't want to lie to her But when all these things are happening these things happen and they're normal and they're natural And so we're moving through this and then we get ritualistic I sit there and I'm in front of my computer and I move things to the side of my chair back because I don't like to sit in A certain way when I'm jerking off and I want to see the certain screen in this way and all these things are happening Right these all the stuff that happens from coming from our groups because we talked about this a lot or perhaps I'm setting up to load up a needle. I get the right spoon. I light it in the same way I get it hot in the same way, and I start to move in this ritual I can only use the same tourniquet if I'm in a trap house or whatever And that's a house where a bunch of people do drugs and sell drugs out of is that I'm gonna be in a certain area I'm gonna go in my room. I'm gonna most likely end up in the smallest corner of the house You know wanting more and then at that point I haven't even gotten involved in the action yet But I'm powerless towards it And so the secession of things happen right where the brain gets hyper stimulated and starts to move within enough with within itself and You know all of a sudden we've got to do it You know we're powerless towards it or we're totally in it and we want to do it It would just make sense to do it Right, it's the right thing. We're not weighing the scales of morality We're not thinking about what our therapist said and the problem is we see a therapist once a week And we don't have a group to go to or maybe twice a week And so then we start to get high the addictive behavior takes place when the addictive behavior takes place This is awesome. We get height and focus man from the point where I'm going through the trigger and I'm watching porn Or to the point where I watch porn Totally different person totally different human being why why? Man different thing the amygdala says something else. It's like holy shit Look at that man remember last time and the chick with the tits and da da da da and all of a sudden I started drinking off I get into a sexual state. I need intensity man. I need diversity I wasn't even thinking about some crazy whatever it is interracial stuff or animals or whatever shit you're into But all of a sudden this makes sense. No, I'm gonna do it And this was an interesting thing because as many of you guys know my first girlfriend I had sex with like five times. I walked across the street at a gas station She got kidnapped and gang raped by a bunch of people and all of a sudden four or five years later I'm watching rape porn and I'm one of those guys and I and I'm like I would never want that would never right now I'd be like no, I do not think that's good, but all of a sudden. I'm like god this is amazing Oh my god, I'm just like those guys this has to be I can't talk to anybody about this It's got to be a secret immediate desire for more. I need more. I started. I need to collect things I need to start I have scarcity coming through why because all these things are going like hey Dopa means coming dope means coming if you don't sustain your erection If you don't sustain your high if you're running out of cocaine if you're running out of heroin fuck I got to use this but I got to start calling my dealers to get more or whatever or one of the shitty things which happens if you Just happened to me that you guys may not be able to relate with but you buy some heroin and it's China white But it turns out to be cocaine you put it in your body like oh fuck man now. I'm all high if I'm wired I'm gonna stay up. I'm gonna stay up and I'm gonna wait till 9 a.m. So my dealers dealers awake and I'm gonna call them and then I'm gonna trade this out I'm gonna sell somebody and then then I'm gonna get the heroin right Guess what happens you just stay up all night doing the cocaine and then you're out and you're like fuck It's just terrible thing But you have that scarcity in building and strategy and all this stuff is tunnel visioned in because the accumbens is going crazy And the orbital frontal cortex is is in this tunnel vision But it's going like no we need to do this and this is gonna happen and it's gonna happen in these ways And all all sorts of stuff is gonna happen and we're gonna tell this person this story and it's amazing I don't know if you guys have ever talked to a drug addict, but they're like no no look You can you can call and check with my sister. She's got it down This is not a big deal and just just leave like I need the money now And it's it's not for anything that you think it is but it's totally cool or one of my favorite scenes from drugstore Cowboys The guy has a no shirt on and like boxers and a trench coat and he just shows up the door And he's like yeah, man, so we got to do this It's great great. I start I start hoarding I start I start hiding different things Especially if I'm watching porn I'm going like no man. I want to watch this again. This is mine This is gonna be mine right now and that's actually part of this ego part man That orbital frontal cortex that does so much for us naturally. We're going no I own this man I'm gonna save this, you know, I have a relationship with it. This is something that's happening yet Even though I'm not looking at the outcome and this is an interesting thing about compulsion studies is that when I look at the outcome And I'm in a compulsive state. I don't care about the outcome. I care about it getting done So it doesn't actually have purpose or meaning in a motion with me But it has a ritual of having to be able to finish the job much like if you see a brake light on a car You pump your brakes, right? You know, you I'm sorry you react to that But you start doing that with your life and all these complex things and then the best part is is the ritualistic end Anytime I got fucking high man. I didn't care necessarily where I was I wanted to be in a corner, but I wanted to pass out in a certain way and at first Maybe that had some sort of benefit. This is a real thing man Like I'm still comfortable sleeping in these positions to this day and it's years and years later, right of where I Would pass out to make sure that I wasn't gonna choke on my puke I would pass out in a certain way where it felt the feeling that I was kind of attached to and all these things meant something But the same thing with pornography. I was gonna strategize how I was gonna come how I was gonna end this all And I wished I could have held on to it longer But if I'm gonna go if I'm gonna go it's going to happen in this way Very very very important to look at now this part is the interesting part the void And this is what really is going to make the difference The void happens as soon as we're done All this calms down all this chills out all this orbital frontal cortex area into the prefrontal cortex Starts to be active again, and it's like what the fuck and the reality of it is is this is so overwhelming Possibly because it's an earlier part of the brain possibly because of trauma possibly because of just the situation is so intense that This can't interact All right, and so we heard about that too in some of the previous speeches So that orbital frontal cortex goes what the fuck or the prefrontal cortex is like what is going on? Holy shit. I'm late for work. Oh, man. Fuck this thing happened Jesus Christ And all of a sudden there's this this empty feeling that gets interpreted by shame a lot Why because we're alone. All right, and and then we start to have regret and we go man I told why was I doing that fuck? Why did I do that again? I can't believe it. I said I wasn't gonna do this and And I know I got carried away and it's just it's crazy. It's like a drug It's horrible and I started to get disgusted with myself I started to get depressed and this is the point where we sweared off forever where we go I am never going to do this again, but we forget We forget that just two minutes before this that was not in our mind And that's very important because we often think this is the story of addiction When this is really the story of a natural path of addiction okay, so Right here. We have the natural phenomenon of addiction. We just went through that experience and I know a ton of you guys have felt it and Been through those whether it was through a drug or whether it was through porn or You were at a rally or you were at a church event or you were in a flow state Or you just wrote something it made total sense. You were feeling that high. Here's the difference The social event socially acceptable The high of writing something socially acceptable, but I'll feel the void with that because the next day when I can't write the same I'm like no man. I got to do more. I got to do more. Oh fuck. I can't do it Oh, geez and all this like depression and shame comes into play because I can't perform like I did the day before when I created something like really awesome, right? You know or let's say we go through a sporting event now This happens all the time to me and jujitsu But socially acceptable. There's no reason so when I feel the void when my brain calms down We're all chill and there's other factors in there But the voids there if you experience this if you experience this natural phenomenon That does not make you an addict and all the propaganda says it makes you an addict Right? So that's a very common thing our brains were made to do that our brains were made to feel that Okay, and if we talk about it with each other like I said in the experiment Even with guys who've gone into full-blown addiction and sex addiction is crazy and when you talk about sex addiction I'm not talking about jerking off to porn. That's a part of it I'm talking about prostitution yourself prostitution yourself for a place to stay you're going in and compromising your sexuality in extreme ways So that you can get what you need or even feel good just because it's a novelty or something new You know, I don't see a lot of young men doing that I see a lot of young men doing this natural phenomenon when they talk about it a lot of it gets relaxed So what the fuck man? What's up with this 1%? What the fuck happened to me? You know, why did this happen? Why did this happen when you know, it was like I was that guy I smoked pot and I drank with my buddies, you know, and then a couple years down the road I'm fucking Odean in my parents house and they're waking me up and not figuring out what the fuck's happening and calling Ambulances all sort of shit and I'm getting my stomach pumped and I'm in a coma for six days And I end up in a rehab and what happens when I make it three years clean Then I turn 20 and I'm like, you know what I really wasn't that bad because I wasn't that bad, you know I mean, I was only fucking 17 years old. How much shit do you actually have and? Start drinking again start doing whatever drugs and slowly but surely creeps up and all it gets it gets nuts, man And man, let me tell you let me tell I used to go to So I'm a 12-step recovery guy But there's plenty of different ways to get clean and I used to go to these meetings and these guys used to say Like you asshole, I spilled on my time more than you drink and I'd be like, okay I sure proved those fucking assholes wrong man Jesus Christ by the time I was 28 a bunch of my in fact in my last speech that I gave at the 21 convention all my pictures from 2003 2004 even 2005 with all my old band members and friends that were in Dallas Fort Worth I couldn't use them because I didn't want to have pictures of my dead friends up there You know that we were just all fucked up. It was it was awesome. It was great, man There's so many good stories about it, but all of this You know this this thing about addiction where it moves into a disease or a disorder And like I said some people have a problem that disease word and I'm fine with that as long as we can talk about it more You know, I actually agree on the neuroscience guys that the good guys break it down and talk about it Just being a disorder But when your life revolves around that right when your life is they getting and using and finding ways and means to Get more and you are obsessed with it, okay? In order to get this we have to understand the void There's way more to it than this but this is a short speech because it all ties in so what happens when I get done This is Sam done jerking off done jerking off. Usually I'm alone, right and all of a sudden my brain calms down Nothing's there and responsibility comes back and I go fuck man Jesus Christ the first thing I feel is shame I go shit dude. I did this again God man because masturbation is this thing I've been doing since I was nine or ten or whatever age I was and it never felt good I always try to control it and I can't and I'm alone Right. I'm isolated and I start to feel guilty and these things happen and you know what well I could jerk off again or maybe I could wait tomorrow or maybe this is a repetitive thing and I did it You know once again, and it's like fuck man. This is a pattern and all of a sudden It's like God dude. There's consequences You know maybe my girlfriend left me or maybe I ended up in jail or maybe I had to jerk off in a Bathroom like George Michael or something like that or whatever it was I just wanted to take things to whatever level and I got a consequence now man a cop busted me And I have a sex offender status and I start to build this belief. This is me I have tried everything in the world. This is me. This is who I am man There's a side of me that isn't that isn't this which I go out in public and I shake people's hands And then there's a side of me that is this and Jesus Christ man like fuck if they only knew I would be fucked if they only knew They'd be disgusted with who I was and I'm disgusted with who I am But I can put on this face and feel good about myself for a little bit We're gonna polarize ourselves here so we can function through life and then it becomes the norm You know man I'll tell you this man when you get using this the best part about drug addiction if you are a drug addict and you Don't die you have one of the best gifts because you cannot fake this with porn with eating with gambling I'd even say a little bit with alcohol You can fake this shit. You get a DWI you embarrass yourself in front of friends No, man You cannot blur that line if you are doing drugs you become the norm. This no longer is a high There's no longer something to where you're going like oh man, I'm gonna you know for five minutes I'm gonna just have my way or for two hours. I'm just gonna disappear and feel nothing. It's great This now becomes a point where you're alienated from people Your friends your lifestyle everything revolves around that and instead of getting high you're maintaining how many times have you guys been there where you jerk off to porn and It doesn't work anymore and for me I jerk off 10 11 times and I couldn't come like literally I like you I say this joke jokingly all the time But foam would be at my dick There was no ejaculation there was somewhat of an orgasm but it meant nothing and how many times have I been there where in This is one of the most fucked up things because you're hating yourself You're getting high you're holed up in your fucking bathroom, and you're doing whatever drug and it does nothing to you Nothing you put dope in your body, and you don't even feel normal. You're still in pain You're still sick, and you feel nothing That's maintenance and when you get there When you get there, and it sustains that's no longer a void. That's a way of life And when it's a way of life that is when you are an addict and that to me is the disease Or the disorder of what you say with addiction all right, that's when we cross that line and Man it's interesting what gets us there You know some of the things that they say like people's amygdalas are a little bit more receptive when we have Trauma in our youth when we had You know some sort of abuse when we felt different when we felt alienated in fact There's all these social studies, and of course social studies can get reinterpreted and misinterpreted and used in all these screwed up ways but people that commit suicide Generally have a feeling where they don't have a vision of their future where they don't have a Backbone does they feel alone? You know they feel Separate you know the everything you know about addiction is wrong the Ted talk He's like give an Attica hug how many hugs I got I got a lot But where I needed that hug was perhaps way back in my youth and what I really fucking needed was I needed a way to Stop but then get hugs from people who actually understood me and wanted to listen to me and not some yuppie motherfucker at a Conversation saying oh, yeah, yeah, that's great. You know I read this thing and it's amazing You know they put these rats and it's like I get what you're going with it cool Yeah, and so just to just to put this in here This this slide I I don't really know how to talk about and we'll see where I go with it But you know obviously this means my buddy Matt. It's my buddy Robert It's my buddy Haseeb seeps kind of a famous guy Google me. He's probably pissed off I put him in here, but this was part of our JKD group. We worked with that achin who's a Guy who's spoken here, and it was awesome man. We beat the shit out of each other That's what we did all the time. This was in August 2013, and we were we were gonna train that day and that day this guy Fucking split my face open man I have this huge like gosh, and I should have put the picture in there, and I remember I was like no Let's keep I got all mad at him. I was like what the fuck did you do man? He's like man. I just I'm sorry I just did what we were doing, but you know you get punched the face and laid out You're like you get mad about it like as if it was their fault when you do this And you know this guy got his eardrum ruptured and his spleen ruptured that day We were like Ed actually was like you guys are being pussies, and we just took it way too far Robert somehow doesn't end up hurt, but I mean we beat the hell out of him and Haseeb neither It was just me and Matt were the two dumbasses, but me and Matt both drug addicts right and to share the story a little bit more how this all worked was Matt and I were training partners and martial arts for many years and It turned out that he was in recovery as a kid, and then he never told me this He was always like you're in that like recovery thing, and they talk about God And I'm like dude no and he was an atheist, and I'm pretty close to that too I was like no no, you know it doesn't work that way or whatever We talk about it if you want and one day he gave me a call he said man I'll can you take me to rehab like I'm dying like it like this is too crazy, and I took him to read I picked him up I took him to get all the things that you need to get into rehab you had to take a tuberculosis test Which he had he also had hep C and he was an IV user and you never would have thought that I mean look at this motherfucker This guy's healthy as shit right if he was all strung out on cocaine and one thing that he would do was he did the weirdest thing And I never got this, but this is the ritual. Okay. This does not make sense This is the dumbest thing, but it does not make sense. I can't believe it, but drug addicts do stupid shit, right? He would go and buy a crack and put it in like a little bottle of Lemon juice and then the baking soda and all the other shit separates the cocaine And then he would stick a syringe in and suck it up You don't have to cook cocaine when you're doing it and he shoot it up He also had the most impressive Track marks that I had seen it was crazy And he was one of those guys that would shoot up shoot up shoot up shoot up shoot up to the point We'd get these abscesses and these massive infections and he actually got they took him in to get his arm amputated And they saved it But then his other arms all fucked up and his legs and all this other shit He was just like a through-and-through user man and Matt an awesome guy Man one of one of my closest friends many of you guys met chants reminds me a lot of Matt We always talk shit say all these like crazy PTSD stories Matt had typical story heavy abuse as a kid all the sort of stuff and just could never get it right and He was clean about three months here We beat the shit out of each other. He got prescribed an opiate, you know Which is which if you need an opiate you should take an opiate because then you're gonna end up in too much pain You can't control it and then you have to break and take something and then that kicks off the whole addiction thing in any way What happened was is we were hanging out one Saturday night And I was with Maria and I was with him and I had to get home to Maria And it was like 1 a.m. And we wanted to pick up chicks He had this girlfriend and they were breaking up and he's early and recovering I'm like, let's talk to these girls. So we talked to these girls and they're like all about him He was good-looking guy and he was like, no, I can't I can't I can't can't do it I'm gonna go home and the funny thing is the other guys He went to rehab with one was sick and the other one broke his foot that day And he'd have this support system of where he called people so I get home It's 1 a.m. And the phone rings and he's like dude and I was a sponsor and he says dude Steve I need help I said man, sorry like you you gotta you gotta call some other people man I'm with Maria and Maria's there and she's saying, you know, it's 1 a.m. I miss 1 a.m. You know, and I Said look call me in the morning do all the stuff you got to do but hit up those other people They're all probably hanging out at Epoch, which is like an all night coffee shop in Austin and He texts me Monday that was on Saturday and he said man. I got to talk to you I call him up and he said I didn't make it All right, and I'm like, okay. It's cool. Well, let's let's fucking hang out cool Man pick me up dude my daughter, you know, like I'm gonna die dude. I'm gonna die I can't tell you how many times I'm doing cocaine and if I do cocaine my heart's gonna explode It's it's too out of control like I'm gonna die. Please help me show up to Matt's house Matt. What's up? Knock on Matt's door nothing nothing nothing nothing. He's like, oh man text me. Sorry my dad came to get me Da-da-da. It's all good. Da-da-da and leave, you know, I know what's going on here, man Here just take my credit card take my credit card and hide it from me That's a horrible position to be in by the way, and he calls me up the next dude There's an emergency, you know call my sister or call my family. They'll tell you what's going on and all this sort of stuff, right and You know Eventually I just said look I'm gonna give you back your fucking credit card Do what you got to do but check yourself back into rehab get that physical separation from it and He called me on a Friday. I was teaching a workshop And I just gotten back into teaching workshops because I took a break like a lot of guys do and he says dude come and help me Leave my workshop and it was just about start actually 11 a.m. Go to help them doesn't answer Then doesn't answer doesn't answer says his brother's coming to pick him up I go back go on my workshop at 2 p.m. That day I get a call from his ex-girlfriend who tells me Matt is dead and I called up Ed and I said Matt is dead And he's like fucking a that dumb motherfucker and that took 11 days For him to relapse and kill himself on that shit and I bring up that story That's a common story, but we were really good friends and like I said, I know somebody that dies all the time and And it sucks every time it does but this one really really rocked me because we were close and we beat the shit out We heard each other man We cried and pained together and I knew his whole family and what he walked away from man was it was a huge thing And we all do that and it fucking sucks man And so when I hear different people talking about addiction and they don't include a story like this man It's crazy and here's one of the counters to it, which is which is really important is that There's a lot of things unsuccessful about recovery You know, I'm a member of a 12-step organization. I love it changed my life There's a lot of good things that those things can do, but there's also some things that they could learn from the neuroscience There's also a lot of things that they could learn from people who are really looking at this stuff and I wish that bridge built All right, but there's one thing off all the disease word or there's one thing off Like they get something wrong with the rat city or Carl Hart didn't an experiment which hey man I'd like to hear more about but where he gave people crack cocaine a Pharmaceutical grade and they could either do another hit after they had done a hit in a lab or next week They could get ten bucks and they all chose or overwhelmingly they chose the ten bucks So he's like well people aren't powerless over drugs He asked any drug addict and I think his point wasn't that like oh, yeah, drugs are simple or easy It was it was more that there's a difference that we need to look at But that difference and I'll tell you right now from people knowing crackheads Is you want to do crack where you can do crack? I don't want to fucking do it with some nurse giving it to me and all these people Analyzing me and all this other shit that makes you feel uncomfortable And so you know I think about this stuff because addiction is such a beautiful thing in my life Like you know Matt left behind a big family He left behind a lot of people and so many other people that did that and man my life was fucking hell My life was fucking hell and when I talk about them perhaps we could talk about it privately I remember at the 21 convention in 2012 in Melbourne I kind of pissed off because some guy was bitching about his horrible life with you know having some problems And I was like man, you know what it's like for year after year to fucking put a drug in your body and go I hope I end up dead. I don't really want to take the action to kill myself But I don't give a shit you know the beliefs that deal with that You know if you had those things if you woken up with your pants down and blood all over you And you don't know what the fuck happened to you, you know have you been in a situation where Man you you get the shit kicked out of you and you're left and you end up naked on a road In those beliefs that happen over and over again doesn't just happen once And that's your life and you're telling me that you had it so bad as a kid fuck you man I called my buddy from Melbourne. He goes Steve these guys just don't understand But that was my life and there was a lot to it and it was fucking hell But it was one of the most beautiful things in the world because it gave me the rich perspective of Being able to have things so I have things today and those of you may know I came in here This is two hours of sleep. I have this amazing woman who sometimes is really bitchy to me and really aggressive and I got these awesome kids that sometimes pick their nose and cry all night and Last night when my wife came in here. She was breastfeeding her kid She's trying to wean them off and he's he's in Texas and we're in Miami and she had the anxiety and flip out and man That sucked I was up all night with her and that sucked and anytime I did get any sleep I had nightmares about how she was ruining my life and my speech and all this stuff And that's easy thing for me to be mad about and get mad about but man That's part of being alive and that's part of a cool thing about being alive Not because I got something not because I had a shitty past Not because I weigh the scale in my head But because I had a shitty past and I had all my freedom taken away I know how to make a choice and live with a choice and not enough people live with a fucking choice today And I forget that a lot of times You know, we're all crazy, but we're not all crazy on the same day, and that's why we meet up, right? So there's no excuse. You know my buddy was sharing the other night and he said I've done some horrible things, man I've done some things that would land me in prison for the rest of my life, and I know that life I've done some shame flacks And I would think about this with Matt because Matt had a horrible childhood You know we talked about that, but he had a truly he was forced to kill his own dog and drink its blood And he was raped over and over again Yeah, like and I thought he was lying after he died asked his dad and his brother about it, and they were like no, that's true But he had this excuse man. He had this is excuse That said that kept him from freedom that kept him from feeling good And I'm not talking about feeling good and having things like I said before I'm talking about Whether he was in jail whether he was in whether he had mental problems because of this whether he had some physical Disabilities which he did because of his drug use He could still have his freedom and you could work for it and that's where I came from and that's the story of addiction If you do make it there is that you can have it and it's hard, but you can have it you can totally fucking have it And if you don't think you can man Let me let me that's what this is for you know let me help you so here's an interesting thing guys We talked about neuroplasticity a little bit Here's an awesome thing if you have a problem with porn if you have a problem with drugs The brain rebuilds itself scans with addicts who are in recovery for a while Developed new strategies and this this part of the brain actually became bigger and more developed So that orbital frontal cortex prefrontal cortex to deal with stress To deal with having peace and sustaining those things now I know a lot of addicts and we got a lot of anxiety So they still got a lot of problems, but there were more things built our brains changed I haven't had my brain scanned. I don't really want to but our brains changed To deal with these things better. That's awesome. That's amazing And here's an interesting thing about our brains changing what changed them most and this is one of the things about addiction in in my porn Experiment which was so true Was that when we were in the state of our addiction they changed we heard some guys talking about what's the equivalent of? Cognitive behavioral therapy here, which is effective and good But that's when you write stuff down you analyze and you make decisions from it If you're not doing that when you're in the act of trauma or the high or the trigger It'll take a much longer time that you'll still get there It'll take a much longer time, but here's the beautiful thing if I go I can watch porn You know, I can do these different things or perhaps I'm using drugs and I haven't totally crossed that threshold I won't do them now, but you know, that's just today. Maybe I might do them later But if I can go you know what? Alright, I'm feeling this. This doesn't make me a piece of shit. I'm getting carried away I'm in the natural phenomenon of addiction and I'm gonna lose power to stuff or the natural phenomenon of obsession And I can calm down and I know I'm gonna pop out of it My wife is upset last night and she is in panic like I had never seen ever It was crazy This is gonna pass You don't need to react and I react a lot and if I react I go okay I can fix this I can learn how to be responsible with my life. That's cool I want to put this up here because a lot of people talk about neuroscience, but Carl Hart said You know, we see all these images of the brain and we think all this stuff What does that tell us about human behavior? Nothing Science is far far away from understanding what happens to the brain in addiction But we're continuing to try and I do applaud that man That's an awesome awesome thing But when people start quoting neuroscience and all this sort of stuff man take them You know, you got to get the behavioral side of it too. So the solution check this out if you're a guy That you know is entered into that form of that phenomenon of addiction you've felt the high you've felt the void all those things But you haven't really crossed over man join a group join a men's group go to the sexual life comm slash addiction You can join our men's group. It's amazing. Some of you guys are on it the Austin men's development group We talk about this stuff There's tons of guys who are recovering sex addicts recovering dirt drug addicts on there There's people that are talking about dating and health and fitness. It's amazing You will have an openness and an honesty. The other thing too is is that you're going to Actually, you'll have opportunities to show up on our calls and all these different things and you'll get to see it If you take the therapeutic option, all right, this is good. It's not bad But going to therapy once or twice a week isn't the same as interacting with peers throughout that time Okay, and if you are somebody who has entered into a complete chemical dependency or true sexual addiction You need to one want to change you need to have the desire to stop and number two You need a physical separation from your drug But if you polarize it you will fuck yourself if you say porn is bad if you say drugs are bad and you sustain that you Will break It's the worst place to be and at some point you got to love it. I love drugs I love being a drug addict. It's one of the best things of my life But you need that physical separation at first that could be a rehab that could be friends That could be and I've gotten clean in all sorts of different ways because I've relapsed a ton of times You need to support community that could be a 12-step community that could be a group I could be whatever it is, but you need peers who have more experience than you have the same as you and who are new Because you don't see growth in yourself Which I know what we're all looking for you see growth and other people and you're like man. I was that guy I've come somewhere and You need self-work down the road You know just getting clean or just stopping is not enough You need to work on yourself you have to and that's what has happened to me I think that's one of the biggest criticism about 12-step guys be in because the nature of it Which I appreciate is that all you have to do is be clean and I appreciate that I don't want to change that about it Well steps are good awesome stuff But I found so much from discovering stuff about myself and working on myself in other areas in any case I need to say it. We're out of time Email me Steve at the sexual life or go to the sexual life comm slash addiction and you can find out how to contact me I'll answer everything and if you have questions for me. We'll answer them afterwards Just one last thing if you're an addict any addict any addict Okay, you can stop using you can lose the desire and you can find a new way of life And if that's the only thing you remember Man walk away with that Thanks	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZFUsmUzB7I", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I'm Sanjay Gupta. I welcome you on Sanjay Gupta Tech School. So in this video, I'm going to demonstrate how you can set current value of pick list in flow without duplicates. So let me explain the scenario first. So let's say this is the opportunity record and I want to query this opportunity record in the flow and in flow, whatever is the current value of this stays pick list. I want to set it as default in the flow, right? So I have created this flow. So I'm going to explain this step by step how you can achieve this. So first of all, I'm going to query the opportunity. So here this is the condition ID should be equals to record ID. So this flow will be executed for a particular opportunity. So that record ID will be available in record ID variable. Then I'm going to query opportunity stage, name and close date. So these are the variables which are created in flow. Op stage, op name and op date, right? And if I go to this opportunity details, so here I have created three components. First is name, second stage and third is date. So if I click on name, so here you can see default value is opportunity name. So whatever opportunity name will be populated on the record that will be available here. Then for date, I used opportunity date as default value. So that will be automatically populated here. Now coming on to the stage pick list component. So here I have used two things, two choices, stage name and current stage. So let me explain these two things, what is stage name and what is current stage. So this stage name is a pick pick list choice set. So whenever we want to show the pick list values in flow, we use this pick list choice set. So this is the API name, objective opportunity and data type is pick list and field is stage name. So whatever values in this stage name field will be available that will be stored inside this variable that is stage underscore name. And I have used it in this component. So that stage name will be displaying all the values that are available in stage name pick list of opportunity. Now to show current value as well. So I created current stage choice. So current stage choice is here. So you need to create a choice variable in which you need to use label as opportunity stage that we query and its value will be opportunity state. So this is the current value that we acquired from the record. So that is the choice. So I have used both while creating this stage pick list component. So these are the, these are all choices and this is the current choice or current stage. And here you can see default value is current stage. So whatever current pick list value will be on that record that will be the default value. So I'm clicking on done and I'm saving this popping this record ID and I am debugging this. So here you will see duplicate values will be available. So after this, I will tell you how you can remove that duplicate. So if I go here, so you can see it is showing a stage as negotiation and review. So this, this is correct as of now, but if we see it carefully, so this value is available twice. So from all the pick list values, one option is available and second one is to current value. So now we need to remove one value from this stage pick list because we cannot use multiple options here. So to do that, you need to remove this stage name so you don't need to use pick list choice set instead you need to use record choice set. So I'm going to click on this. So I created stage underscore pick list underscore choices as the name for this record choice set object I selected pick list values and value info. Then conditions are entity practice ID equals opportunity dot stage name. So you need to put the pick list API on which record it is available. Sorry, on which object it is available. So object then dot then pick list API and the value which you want to ignore. So for that value does not equal opportunity stage. So this is the current value that we want to skip. So basically it will query all the pick list of stays and it will ignore this current stage value and it will show values in ascending order and choice label will be label data type text and value and whenever we select a particular value that will be stored in selected states variable. So this selected state selected states variable can be used further so that we can do any other operation. So this way you need to create this record choice set so that you can remove the duplicates. Now, again, I'm opening the screen. And here in this pick list component, I need to remove this. And I need to add this record choice set which is stage pick list choices. And I'm clicking on that. Clicking on save. And now if I click on debug. If I put that API name and click on run. So here you can see this negotiation and review is coming once and it is not repeating. So this way I have removed the duplicate entry of that stays pick list value. Now, if you want to use this further. So for that, you need to use this decision. This default selected if you have selected the current value that was available already available on the record. So the selected states variable will be null. Right. So if it is null, it means you have not changed a pick list value you are using the current value as it is. So in that case, if default is selected, then you need to assign that opportunity stage into selected states. So this week, where it from the record, and this is this variable is available in the flow. So the default value will be stored in this variable, and then we can use it. So I am using another screen so that I can show the value of this selected stage. So if you have selected a particular stage other than the value that was populated on the record, so that will be the default outcome so that will be displayed automatically. So here if I leave it as it is, so here you can see it is the value. And if I select any other value, so that will be displayed here. So with this decision and assignment. So finally the selected, finally the selected stage variable is having the selected value, whether it is default or it is the new value. So you can use this variable further if you have any other steps in this flow. So this way I hope you understood how we can use this current value as the default value in flow and along with that, how can we use other pick list values as well. And how we can remove the duplicates. So this is all about this. So if you want to watch more flow related videos so you can go to description of this video where you will find various links related to Salesforce videos that along with that flow builder videos are also available so you can follow them. I hope you understood whatever explained in this video. Thank you for watching this video.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzU5VIqUUI8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

And when you see any one of these red flags on a stock, it means that you have to size down. So some of the red flags on a stock include low float, include day one, include SSR, and include easy to borrow. If any stock has any of these four red flags, as is sure, you must size down. And if any of these stocks have more than one red flag at the same time, whether it be easy to borrow and SSR, it's probably a good idea to avoid that stock. So today on IC, I had a big red flag. It was easy to borrow. So what I told myself or what I told the members in the rooms do not go over 30% size on this stock. So we have a rule in MIC that says if the stock is above VWAP, you cannot use more than 30% of your stock.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzTzqz4PGOU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Today we're in my favorite car of all time at 2015 Mercedes-Benz AMG GTS, 370 kilowatts, 400 Newton meters of torque. Those numbers propel this car from 0 to 100 in 3.2 seconds flat. This is a two-seater coupé. Now the old AMGs are known for biting the hand that feeds them so to say those cars would punish you if you didn't know what you're doing and this car is nothing like that. Those numbers might be intimidating but driving this car could fool you into thinking you're driving a coupé, driving a cruiser until you switch this dial into sport or race mode. The exhaust note livens up, the handling tightens up and you know immediately you are driving nothing other than a super car. Guys we're going to show you around this car. We're going to show you some of the coolest features, some of the nicest buttons and what it's like to drive this car in traffic as well as what it's like to let it open on the open road. But I wouldn't be here and we wouldn't be looking at this car if it wasn't thanks to the people in Dominique especially from the guys at Prestige Mox. This place is the home to the finest cars in South Africa. If you're looking, your friends are looking, your family is looking, if anybody's looking to treat themselves not only to super cars but any single car of your dreams, the guys at Prestige Mox have got it all. So give them a shout, they'll happily organise you a test drive. By right now we are heading to Bryanstead, we're going to show you one of the newest and most exclusive developers in Bryanstead. It's a beautiful home and we're going to be taking you there in the most beautiful car. So let's go. Let me talk a little bit more about this car and the first thing you'll notice as you step into it is your central bridge. The eyes drawn there and there's a whole bunch of buttons and dials. The first one that I want to mention is probably the most important that that is your drive mode selector and on that drive mode selector you've got five different options. The first being individual and that is a drive mode that you can customize to your liking. Maybe you'd like your handling to be on sport, your suspension to be on comfort and your throttle response to be on race. You can set that up and save it right there so it's always immediately selectable. We've then got comfort which is self-explanatory and that's the mode I'm driving in right now. You've got sport and sport plus but the final mode is race and what that does is it tightens up everything. It lets the exhaust loose and it gives you a little bit more freedom to let this car go and race mode is a very, very special mode to be in. It's not a mode I'm going to try out on the road but it's definitely a mode if you purchase this car you should give just a little bit of attention to you because I don't think you're going to be disappointed. Just below that you've got your engine start stop button. You've got the ability to turn your traction control off. Then you've got the button that tightens up your suspension to a setting you like. On the left hand side we've got my favorite button and that is the exhaust button so pressing that button opens up the exhaust flap and lets this V8 bi-turbo really growl. AMG cars are known for how good the exhaust note is and that button steps it up a notch. Above that you've got your auto stop start. Then you've got your button that puts the car into manual mode if you'd like to control it with your flappy paddle gearbox behind the steering wheel and this is an Alcantara lined steering wheel with your center line just in case you do want to take this out on the track and then last but not least you've got your button controlling your radio. You've got your white lined two-tone leather interior. The seats are all leather with that white interior cream should I say. It really is quite a nice color inside this car. You've got your Burmeister sound system leather wrap dash. All of your park control, your park distance control, there's no way you're going to be bumping into anything within this car. Then you've got dual zone climate control which is really nice if you're going to take this car out on a cruise. But that does sum it up for the inside. It's a comfortable quiet luxurious place to be for what is all intents and purposes a super car. There's nothing about driving this that feels like you can't do it on a day-to-day basis. We've got a Lamborghini Gallardo passing us right now which is awesome. But now let's talk about the exterior. So the exterior you have got absolutely enormous brakes. I think these brakes are about the size of a normal Polo's wheel. Then you've got the styling. This styling leaves nothing to the imagination. You know you're driving a Fosco and anybody that sees you knows you're driving a Fosco. You've got your rear wing that deploys at a certain speed, I believe is 120. You've got your front LEDs and you have got yourself this beautiful white AMG GTS. There's nothing about this that I wouldn't like about parking into my garage every single day. And guys in the comments let me know is this your dream car as well? And if it is give us a thumbs up. Give us a hot. But here we are right outside our home of the day located in Brynston. So we're going to park this baby. We're going to jump out and we're going to show you what it's like living in this new development right here in the heart of Brynston. The Mercedes Benz. We've jumped out of it and we're walking in to what you'll now know as Skyward. This is one of the latest developments in Brynston and this unit is a three bedroom, three and a half bedroom type A unit. There are three different unit types available in Skyward. Type A, B and C. The type A is going for $3,945,000. But you can buy into Skyward starting from $2,840,000. And here we are. We've just walked through the entrance wall. You can see the staircase behind me on the left. Glass railings there. Because this is a development what's so important to note is you can spec these units out to your liking. You can choose what floors you like, what concrete you like, what tile backings, splash guards, features walls, all of it. We're going to be showing you some of the cooler stuff in this apartment. But here we are right here in the lounge area. Plenty of space for whatever kind of lounge set up you'd like. And also a lot of space here. Right now you can see we've got a kitchen table in here. This could easily fit four people. Again, probably easily six. I love the space in the unit. I love the light. And I definitely love the way they've done the marble in the kitchen. Take a look at this marble frontier. We've got smeg. Burner there. You've got access to your garden. You've also got that chef's sink. As I've mentioned, recess into that beautiful marble. Some shelving is done, window access into the garden, and plenty of cupboard space both above the counter as well as below the counter. You've got your drawers there with soft clothes mechanisms as well as plenty of space in the pantry for your dishwasher and your washing machine. All plumbed, easy to put in, easy to take out. When I walked in, I told you, because this is a development, there's so much you can customize. So let's talk about some of the things that have been customized in this house here. This down lighting, customizable. You get to choose what kind of down lighting you like. The gloss railings on the stairwell, customizable. You get to choose what gloss railings you like. And then we've got bulkhead ceilings above us with recessed LED lighting. Again, you can choose whether you want it or don't want it. Another really, really cool feature within this whole house is every single window and sliding door you see is double-pane imported Italian, which means not only is it very, very high quality, but it keeps the cool in during the summer and the heat in during the winter, which is going to save you a lot on your electricity bill. But come over here, we've got a perfect little scullery here. Now, as you've noticed, on the right inside, you've got a chef's sink recessed into the marble. But here, away from crying eyes, we've got your double din sink with very, very fancy taps. Take a look at this. A small push gets you your cold water, but if you push it a little bit harder, that gives you your hot water. And the fourth process behind that is to save you electricity on not wasting hot water when you're just opening your tap, preferably with some cold water. And then rounding off your kitchen, you've got space here for your double door fridge surrounded by even more cupboard space just in case you need it. Now, this is what's going to round off the downstairs area. Right over here, you've got access to your garage, I'm going to be showing you that in a moment. And downstairs, this is where you find your half bathroom. And something to note about this half bathroom is just how large it is. So often these are just cramped into a corner, but this one's got plenty of space, plenty of light because of the window above the bathroom. Your hidden cistern with all of your flashing mechanisms integrated into the wall, recessed LED lighting behind the mirror and a floating sink. That half bathroom is one of the most beautifully equipped I've seen. But let's take it upstairs and show you what else this three bedroom, three and a half bathroom unit has got in store for you. And trust me, that's a lot. Coming up the stairs, your eyes automatically drawn to this feature wall here. And this just isn't any feature wall. This is a concrete feature wall that you can expect to your taste. And just below it, you've got a frosted glass window, letting in a lot of natural light. So coming up the stairs, you find yourself on the top level. And this right here is a pajama lounge. Now both this pajama lounge as well as the first bedroom, which you guys are currently standing in, looking at me have access to an outside balcony. Again, all the windows here are double glazed, keeping you warm during the winter and nice and cool during the summer. So let's go into the first bedroom and see what it looks like. So yeah, we are within the first bedroom. And this bedroom easily fits a double bed. You've got cupboard space all the way on the right hand side and a built in desk, just in case you want to do any work on the left hand side. But take a look at this bathroom. Behind me, it's partitioned by this sliding frosted glass door. And the flooring in this bathroom is incredible. This is what Zotos calls quartz carpet flooring. And you can spec this within your own household. And even as one customer has done within the garage, you've got two color taps. And now the color taps are repeated throughout all the bathrooms, as well as the kitchen area. You've then got your floating vanity with your mirror mount there, as well as a standalone bathtub. And this is an extra length standalone bathtub. You can easily take one of the best so except the same thing that is repeated throughout the house is your floating toilet with hidden system. And then right here, walk in shower framed with glass, looking extra beautiful. Now before we go anywhere, let's take a look at that balcony. The sliding glass door, a Lumill glass door that is a brand name with these glass doors, leading out into your balcony. The balcony is again framed with those glass balustrades, and you've got a view of the downstairs area that balcony wraps around from the bedroom into your pajama lounge. So I've shown you the first bedroom, but there's two more located upstairs that I think you're going to be very interested in. This one right here would make a perfect guest bedroom, another office area, or even a kids' bedroom. You've got space here enough for a single bed, a double could probably squeeze in here. You've got plenty of cupboard space, and then you've got another one of those double-pane, imported Italian windows that open outwards, leading in a lot of light, a lot of air. But as soon as it's closed, it shuts off all noise outside. Because this is a development, there's a lot of construction going on, and you can't hear a single thing which is testament to the quality of those windows. Now over here, plenty of cupboard space. You can spec how you'd like these cupboards to look. I love the customizability of a development and what you get to do within a year through Zotos. You've got another one of those sliding, frosted glass doors partitioning the inbuilt bathroom from the rest of the room. And in that bathroom, again, the incredible quartz carpet, a floating vanity. You've got your mirror right there, as well as a walk-in shower and your toilet system. And now, and now, and now it's time for the creme de la creme, the main bedroom. And it's got some really cool features that we've never seen before. So come along. And here we are. As soon as you walk into the master suite, you find yourself in a walk-in closet. What is a master suite on the home shopper show without a walk-in closet? Plenty of closet space behind me. As well as a skylight built in, letting in some light in here, making it seem a lot more airy, a lot more fresh. And here we are within the master bathroom. Look above me. Now this is a real skylight, a real opening. I love it. It's domed. It looks so cool. It makes this bathroom seem so, so fancy, specifically for the price point we're coming in. We've got another one of those floating tubs, the beautiful quartz carpet. I actually can't get enough of this. I love it. Guys, in the comments, tell me, you feel the same way? Or am I just crazy? Double vanity with your cola taps, imported taps. And then you've got your mirror right here with some LED lighting going down. They're making it just a little bit more unique. You've got a walk-in shower with beautiful marble. This beautiful marble all over this bathroom. I actually love how it is, bulkhead ceilings. Your toilet is partitioned off with some more frosted glass and a heater towel rack right over here, giving you that extra bit of luxury. But follow me because we haven't even shown you the real creme or this creme de la creme. So coming out of the walk-in closet, you'll find yourself within the main suite. Now this main suite is plenty of space around you, mainly because of the walk-in closet, removing that cupboard space from where you'd be sleeping and into that walk-in closet. So I love just how spacious it is. We've got pendant lights that can be specced to your taste right here in the corner, all done for you. And then one of the coolest features is just behind these aluminum sliding doors. So you'll slide that open and now you see you've got some balcony access. You can do the same right over here and you can pull it this way. So you can choose how you'd like it open. But for you people that like your area to be as dark as possible when you sleep, you want no traces of lights. Not only do you have roll-down blinds built in above all of the windows, but you also have these shutters that you can close on both sides and then close this door and that blocks out all of the light as well as the heat. So on those really, really hot summer South African days, you'd close easier and you'll have such a nice cool master suite. I love that they've thought of this. But down there, just below me, as you can see, we've got a garden, we've got a pool area that's also really interesting. So I'm going to go show you that. But before we go, let me show you the double garage. That double garage currently is specced out as a place for Zotos to sit down potential customers and show them the different offerings and the different specs. So take a look at the video as we scroll through this double garage. Take a look at some of the specs offering, pause when you need to, and if you want any more information, contact Zotos. They'll happily take you to Skyward, schedule a viewing in this exact apartment and show you how much there is to love about this. But right now, let's go downstairs and let's show you what the garden looks like. And here we are downstairs in the garden area. This patio is a built in bright with some space underneath for any bright implements you want. And yeah, the garden is and I love it. It's just enough for a plunge pool. You've got beautiful marble tile backing. Again, I can't mention this enough. Everything can be specced to your liking and every single unit within Skyward comes as very own inverter as well as solar and electric eases. So power is never a worry. But guys, thank you so much for joining us on another episode of the Home Shopper Show. Thank you for myself, Chad. And if you'd like to inquire for Skyward, contact Brian at Zotos Property Group. He'll happily schedule a viewing for you. So from the team, from myself, from everybody at Private Property, we're going to see you next time. We love you and goodbye.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZLj-Mdir-o", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It's The Wing Chun Kid here. We're going to show you the top nine exercises that Bruce Lee did to develop his chest and back muscles. You see them in the movies with the huge back muscles? All right, well, this is the exercises he did to get those. Here we go. Dumbbell Press Lie back on a flat bench so that your shoulders are pressed firmly on it. Bring the dumbbells to the chest, then press it overhead to arm's length, ensuring that they're kept fairly high up over the chest, and not allowed to come too far towards the abdomen when lowered. Take a deep breath as you lower the dumbbells to the chest, and exhale as the press to arm's length is completed. Reps 8 to 12. Note can be done with barbell or dumbbells. Lies Lie back on a flat bench, holding a pair of dumbbells at arm's length over your chest. Draw your feet up close to the buttocks by bending your knees. Keeping a slight bend in the elbows, slowly lower the dumbbells until a mild stretch is felt across the pectorals. From this position, lift the weights back up to the starting position by moving them in a wide arc to the top. The movement is performed as if you were hugging a big tree. Using the strength of pectoral contraction alone, don't turn the movement into a pressing exercise. Reps 8 to 12. Bent Arm Pullover Lie back on a flat bench and take hold of a barbell or two dumbbells. The bar is held at straight arm's length over the chest, with a slight bend in the elbows. From this position, the arms are lowered overhead, keeping the elbows bent slightly until a full stretch is felt in the armpit muscle. At this point, the bar is returned to the starting position over the chest. It's recommended that you inhale as the bar is lowered to the full stretch position and exhale as it is raised over the chest. Reps 6 to 12. Note, can be done with a barbell or one or two dumbbells. Single Arm Dumbbell Row Place a moderately weighted dumbbell on the floor next to a flat bench. Grasping the weight in your left hand, place your right hand on the bench to brace your torso in a position parallel with the floor. Place your right foot forward and left foot to the rear. Straighten your arm and raise the dumbbell one or two inches from the floor. Keeping your elbow back, slowly pull the dumbbell upward until its inner plates touch the side of your torso. In this position, rotate your left shoulder upward and then return the dumbbell slowly to the starting position. Reps 8 to 12 per side. Note, can also be done with a kettlebell. Incline Press Lie back on the incline bench and take a shoulder-width grip on the barbell. Extend your arms fully, thereby lifting the barbell from its supports. Pause briefly in this fully extended position to ensure proper balance. Once balance has been obtained, slowly and deliberately lower the barbell to your upper chest. Pause briefly in this position and then press it back to the starting position. Reps 8 to 12. Note, can be done with barbell or dumbbells. Decline Press Remove the barbell at arm's length from the supports and hold it above the chest until you achieve a feeling of control and balance. Then, slowly lower the barbell to the lower chest. A brief pause is observed before the barbell is pressed back smoothly to the starting position. Reps 6 to 12. Note, a special bench that declines is needed for this exercise. Can be done with barbell or dumbbells. Punching with weights. Place your right or left foot forward or adopt any stance you're comfortable with. Holding weights in each hand, punch repeatedly. Reps 50 to 100. Hyper extension. Lie face down on the floor. Place your arms ahead of you and your legs straight behind you. Lift your hands and chest off the ground while lifting your legs off the ground at the same time. Keep your legs straight. Reps 8 to 12. Diff leg dead lift. Take a firm overhand grip on two dumbbells. Then raise the dumbbells until it is hanging in front of the thighs. Keeping the arms and legs straight, bend forward until the barbell almost touches the floor. Return to the erect position without pausing, bringing the shoulders well back. Inhale as the weight is raised. Exhale as it is lowered. Reps 8 to 12. Note, use light weights to avoid back injury. Can also be done with barbell.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzjJ8lVrfa8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC2RbTnQ9sr6r1FgbFKf-fOA	Bemidji Girls Tennis Relying On Experience For Success		[ "Lakeland Public Television", "LPTV", "PBS", "Bemidji", "Minnesota", "MN" ]	2017-08-19T04:39:14	2024-02-05T16:25:04	143	VzP4BB9Idn0	Well, first practice was this past Monday. First invite just a week later. That's the turnaround in life of a Midget Girls tennis player. But with experience at the top of their lineup, they're ready to ace the season. Experience, the strength of any successful team in downfall of others. For Lumberjacks in 2017, though, they're just glad to have it. We have some really good veteran leadership this year. So as a coach, that kind of makes it easy because they help take that role of getting the new players and getting the younger players kind of in tune to what we do and how we do things. Especially early on in the season, playing four of five days next week with the opener on Monday. We do have a lot of girls that played last year in sections or some that came and watched. So I think that all help. And with the girls that didn't, they will still have all of us to rely on. And their goal, it's crystal clear. Push harder and advance further in sections. Last year, we lost to Brainerd in one of the early rounds. And so this year our goal is to make it farther in section and get to the section finals. It was rough losing last year and it was hard on all of us. So this year we're really determined to get back out there and go farther. One player that will help with that, senior number one singles Abby Kilm, the first girls section title winner in program history and a two-time state consolation champion that has boosted her confidence. Getting the experience to be down there and knowing like what you're gonna expect. And I mean, the players down there are really good players. So being able to play against them, it just helped your game. She's such a great player and it's nice to just play with her. And she's very consistent hitter and so it's great to play against her. When it all comes down to it in the end, tennis, it's a game of making shots and the Jacks, they're ready to serve it up. I think we've been tough but we lost four, three to Brainerd last year in the playoffs. The year before we lost four, three to Thief River and those are matches that a shot here, a shot there can make a big difference and this year we have to come up with those shots and we think we can. So their first invite is already on Monday, 9 a.m., the Pine City Invitational.

Это обзор рынка компании TecMill, и сам я, Артур Изятулин. С каждым новый порцию данных по американской экономике инвесторам приходится свыкаться с мыслью, что после тримфального второго квартала новые победы будут даваться сложнее. По вчерашним данным заказы на средства производства не включают авиационной продукции, это показатель, хоть его важность здесь показана как низкая, но в свете заинтересованность инвесторов о том, как развиваются планы компании по инвестиции в основные средства, показатель остается важным. Как видите, он у нас снизился в область 0,5%, хотя прогноз был положительный, таким образом, он обрывает положительный тренд четырех прочаствующих месяцев. Перетомление производства сектора изотарифов вновь привело к неприятному разрыву между экспортом и импортом, это было отражено вот этот показатель по торговому балансу. Как видите, торговый дефицит США снова у нас увеличился по сравнению с прошлым месяцем, и это говорит о том, что оба этих показателя, как и по капитальным важениям, так и по торговому дефициту, они у нас сделают свои вклады в ВП, которые будут отрицательны, поэтому сейчас начинаются уже пересмотры. Прогноза по саупопному выпуску на третье квартал в сторону понижения. Темпы роста, экономического роста в США, остаются комфортными, пока что как для ФРС, так и для фондовых инвесторов, но горизонт оптимизма стремительно сужается. В рядах инвесторов, вроде как, должно расти беспокойство, растущий на грузской компании из-за удорожения кредита, с одной стороны, с высшением показателя цена акции на прибыль с другой, особенно на фоне слабых перспектив роста. Обычно, когда показатели цена акции на прибыль у нас низкие, то акция считается недооцененной, и нужно покупать, и наоборот. ФРС подняла ставку в среду в третий раз в этом году, и представил у нас график менее чем немного ФРС, то есть DOTPLOT, а с более стременным кодом, если мы посмотрим на то, как изменяется медианный прогноз, то видно, что по сравнению с июльским уседанием, например, для декабрьского решения процентной ставки уже 12 чиновников, считать, что ставку можно повысить до уровня 2, 375 против всего лишь 7 чиновников, которые высказали за это в июле. Также вот и по этим показателям можно посмотреть, что все больше чиновников всклоняется в пользу того, что ставка должна расти более высокими темпами, поэтому можно считать, что этот график DOTPLOT у нас в сентябре еще с более стременным уклоном. Но ФРС-ПАУ предупредил, что не стоит ориентировать сейчас на обрагнозы ФРС, как и по ВВП, так и по инфляции, включая также то, как чиновники видят тректоры повышения ставки, так как они справедливы исключительно для текущего положения, то есть на основе текущих данных. Как я уже сказал, заказы на средства производства у нас снизились, в частности, основной вклад был внесен за счет снижения спроса на электронику и транспортные средства. В июле у нас этот показатель рост, в годовом выражении он прибыл 7,5%, учитывая, что оптимизм американских фирм сейчас находится на многолетних максимах, часть стимулированной науговой реформы, снижение показателей, но, скорее всего, окажется временным, по крайней мере, это текущая оценка данных, которые вышли в области. Но неприятно сады, конечно же, у нас остается от этого замедления. Заказы на товары длительного пользования со стороны потребителей показатель у нас вырос на 4,5% в августе, как видите, произошло это благодаря росту доходов населения и хорошей динамики зарплат. Торговый дефицит, как я уже сказал, вырос, конечно же, вклад внесли снижение отгрузок, снижение экспорта еды и кормов, а также напитков. Также данные, вероятно, отражают возврат отгрузок соевых бабов в Китай, которые увеличились в переведении новых тарифов. Продажи промышленных изделий и автомобилей за рубеж также снизились в прошлом месяце, что было компенсировано ростом экспорта потребительских товаров. Что касается импортатон, в прошлом месяце вырос на 0,7%, отражая попытки, скорее всего, ретейлеров, нарастить товар на материальные запасы перед усилением торговой напряженности и также отражает общий рост потребления в США. Создать положительные впечатления в американской экономике вчера помешали данные по рынку недвижимости США. Это один и секторок, который является одним из тормозящих для экономики США. Он у нас демонстрирует замедление. Вчера показатель контрактов на недвижимость снизился на 1,8%. Это было месячное изменение. В годом выражении он также продолжил снижаться. Это показательно является лидирующим и говорит о том, как изменятся показатели продажи домов в следующем месяце. В июле в области наметилась слабость спроса на жилье, что отразилось на ценах на недвижимость. Если посмотреть индекс цен, то видно, что в этом году у нас рос незначительный темп. Помимо сравнения с прошлым годом, здесь наметился четкий тренд к снижению, начиная с мая этого года. Застройки отреагировали незамедлительно. Здесь можно видеть затраты. На строительство они снижаются в этом году. Здесь они даже достигали отрицательных значений. Это еще один показатель, который ответит в пользу замедления темпов роста рынка недвижимости. Что касается самого показателя контрактов на существующие жилье, он у нас с начала этого года находится в отрицательной территории. То есть говорит о том, что будущие показатели по продажам жилья, они у нас будут устойчиво снижаться. А чем это говорить? Но прежде всего это неуверенность будущих доходов у потребителей США, а также тяжесть кредитных условий, по мнению ипотечных заемщиков. С другой стороны, это эффективно сдерживает развитие надувания пузыря на рынке недвижимости, что обычно характерно для экономики фазер расширения. Что касается прогнозов ПВП от официальных органов, если во втором кварт или снижение торгового дефицита у нас добавило 1,2%. ПВП, то растущий дефицит сейчас, как вот у нас данные показывают за август, они должны отрицательно сказаться на совокупном выпуске за третье кварто. Поэтому Федеральный Резервный Банк Атланты, когда у нас выпускает прогноза, ему пришлось все резать прогноз по ПВП с 4,4% до 3,8%, это для третьего квартова. На заседании ФРС в среду регулятор повысил прогноз в ПВП с 2,8% до 3,1% для 2018 года. Основными драйверами, естественно, стали нового реформа и здоровые темпы роста, оплаты, труда. Что интересно, вот тарифы, если считать, что их действия будут как-то отсрочно проявиться чуть позже, то возможно оно как бы по идее должны проявить себя, отразиться на прогнозах ВП на следующий год. Но не тут-то был прогноз ФРС по ВП за следующий год, он у нас увеличился до уровня 2,5%, прошлый прогноз у нас был 2,4%, то есть напряженность во внешней торговой, по мнению ФРС, практически не затрагивает сейчас перспектива экономики. Долгосрочный уровень роста в ВП составляет всего 1,8%, это очередной камень в огород в сторону Трампа, который надеялась увеличить продуктивность и рост американской экономики за счет налоговой реформы. Содерживание инфляции через повышение ставок, которые сейчас ФРС проводит, возможно не позволят американским фирмам переносить давление со стороны роста, со стороны издержи, точнее, и зарплат на конечные цены. Значит, справедливость на текущей рыночной оценке компаний может вызывать нам в сомнении, так как прибыли компании ограничены, а издержки они не могут. Издержки будут расти, если считать, что на рынке трудно наблюдается дефицит рабочей силы, и если предполагать, что цены нефть будут продолжать расти, то это, конечно, будет оказывать давление на американские компании. И поэтому в следующем году, возможно, сейчас начнется пересмотр прогнозов по прибылью, а это значит, что цены акций американской компании начнут, возможно, очень постепенно откатываться. Пау в своих комментариях обратил, наконец, внимание, даже обратил вовремя свое внимание на перекупление на фондовом рынке, однако сделает так крайне осторожно в свою речь. Он в среду отметил, что цены по некоторым активам приблизились к верхним границам исторических максимумов, намекая, что дальнейшее продолжение реалии может всерьез обеспокоить регулятора. Пау постарался выглядеть максимально нейтральным на наседание, однако изменение в формулировках ФРС в заявлении, то есть в соответствии с бычами ожиданиями рынка недодолго обеспечит доллар, бычьим имплесом. Сегодня можно заметить, что доллар у нас утопает по всем фронтам, индекс доллар у нас вырос на 0,22%, но на мой взгляд, это продолжится недолго, так как в экономические данные постепенно крадываются слабость то здесь, то там, и поэтому, учитывая прогноз по пересмотру ВВП в сторону понижения, замедления рынка недвижимости все-таки, если рассматривать миропару евро-доллар у нас должно сформироваться некоторое дно на уровне 1,1550, 1,15, с которым будут формироваться основы для разворота пары наверх. На сегодня на все, спасибо за ваше внимание, увидимся сами в понятельник.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzd99WPEpLs", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Vielen Dank für die Einladung. Ich würde gerne heute ein bisschen was zum Thema Urban Air Mobility erzählen, was wir darunter verstehen und vor allem, wo wir auch im Markt stehen gerade in dieser ganzen Diskussion. Es gibt sehr viele Player, die sich gerade auf diesem Markt tummeln, unterschiedlichste Lösungen auch vorweisen. Und ich wollte das Thema mal von verschiedenen Perspektiven ein bisschen challenging und sagen, wie sieht eigentlich das Spannungsfeld aus, was muss man sich darunter vorstellen und was ist eigentlich noch zu tun, um das wirklich zu realisieren. Wenn man sich unsere Innenstädte anschaut, dann sieht man, dass wir dann ziemlich großes logistisches Problem haben vom Verkehrsaufkommen her. Und wenn man jetzt umdenkt und das Ganze durch Elektromobilität ersetzt, heißt es nicht unbedingt, dass man das Problem löst. Auch wenn man gefühlt vielleicht ein bisschen nachhaltiger wird, was die Abgase in den Städten angeht. Es ist allerdings schwierig. Also, wie könnte man das lösen und sind jetzt Air Taxis und Cargo Droh und tatsächlich eine nachhaltige Lösung für dieses Problem? Jetzt ist die Idee ja nicht ganz neu. Und gerade sind wir auch in einem sehr disruptiven Zeitalter, in der sich die Technologie extrem schnell bewegt und extrem großen Einfluss auf unser tägliches Leben hat. Und jetzt sind wir eben zum ersten Mal an diesem Punkt angekommen, wo wir sagen können, von einem technischen Standpunkt wäre das ganze Thema Urban Air Mobility, also Lieferdrohung wie auch Air Taxis realisierbar. Wie nachhaltig das Ganze ist, kommen wir gleich noch dazu. Die Vision ist auch sehr schön. Man fliegt dem Stau davon, man hat einen individuellen A nach Beverkehr, ohne großes Umsteigen, ohne großen Stau, ohne große Verzögerungen. Die Vision ist schön und sehr viele stürzen sich gerade auf diese Vision. Jetzt ist diese Vision aber auch nicht unbedingt sehr neu. Das gab es schon vor 57 Jahren, hat man schon davon geträumt, genau diese Infrastruktur, dieser Fessel zu entfliehen. So, wo stehen wir denn jetzt heute, 57 Jahre später? Wir stehen genau hier. Das heißt also auf dem Punkt des höchsten Hypes, was das Thema Air Mobility angeht, man traut die Technologie jetzt das meiste zu, was man so eine Technologie noch zutrauen kann. Es gibt sehr starke Investitionen in diesen Bereich hinein. Man hat ganz fantastische Modelle dahinter wie das von Uber mit Ride Sharing. Es gibt sehr viele Anbieter. Wir haben mittlerweile über 130 verschiedene Hersteller, Konzeptstudien gesammelt dazu, die dieses Problem angehen wollen. Warum zeige ich hier so nur Air Taxis? Es geht natürlich auch um Logistik, kleinere Logistik. Das Thema Air Taxi ist das Schwierigere von beiden, weil es hier tatsächlich nicht nur um den Transport von Waren geht, sondern eben um den Transport von Personen. Und da bewegen wir uns in einem zulassungsrechtlichen Spannungsfeld. Das ist sehr schwierig. Es sind sehr viele neue Technologien, die alle noch nicht zertifiziert sind. Und dieses dicke Brett muss erst mal durchbohrt werden, um dieses ganze Thema wirklich anstoßen zu können und nachhaltig betreiben zu können. So, jetzt habe ich schon so oft nachhaltig gesagt. Für wen ist das eigentlich nachhaltig? Oder wie nachhaltig ist das eigentlich im Vergleich? Nimmt man jetzt mal ein normales Auto von heute, nimmt man ein Luxus-Sportwagen und so ein EV-Toll oder Air Taxi, dann sehen wir, obwohl diese Air Taxis deutlich günstiger sind, rein sie sich doch eigentlich eher in diese Reihe der Geräte ein, die nur so den oberen 10.000 zur Verfügung stehen und nicht unbedingt der breiten Masse. Also lösen Sie dann auch ein Massenproblem oder lösen Sie nur ein Problem von wenigen Individuen? Und da, ich habe es gerade schon angesprochen, hat Uber einen Ansatz gewagt zu sagen, hey, lasst uns doch mal solche Hubs bauen, lass uns mal versuchen, diesen Drohnenverkehr zu demokratisieren und hat einen Aufruf gestartet, verschiedene Konzepte dazu zu entwickeln, wie hier eben auch ein Hub, der diesen Verkehr abwickeln soll und um den Verkehr auf der Straße wirklich nachhaltig zu entlasten, braucht es allerdings unfassbar viele Flugbewegungen in der Luft und das hieße eben eine Rate von 3,6 Starts und Landungen pro Stunde. Alle 3,6 Sekunden Verzeihung. Da fragt man sich auch wieder, wie nachhaltig ist das? Wie sieht das aus, wenn ich neben so einem Hub wohne? Wie laut ist das? Wie sehr eingeschränkt ist meine Sicht durch diese rumschwirrenden Geräte? Findet das denn überhaupt genügend sozialer Akzeptanz? Und das bringt wiederum uns zurück auf das Thema auch Lieferdrohne. Wie sozial akzeptiert ist das eigentlich, wenn vielleicht nur ein paar wenige mit solchen Geräten rumfliegen oder wenn diese Geräte vielleicht doch eher in größeren Sinn stiften. Wenn man zum Beispiel so eine Art fliegende Intensivstation hat, die halt deutlich günstiger ist als ein Rettungssubschrauber heute und relativ einfach Menschenleben retten könnte, indem sie halt jemanden relativ schnell in ein Krankenhaus bringen kann. Jetzt hatten wir solche Konzepte, finde ich, ganz großartig. Die würden, wie gesagt, auf eine sehr hohe Akzeptanz stoßen. Noch sind es eben Konzepte, Kommunen, Städte. Haben die das Geld, solche Dienste weiterzuentwickeln, aufzubauen, zu betreiben? Das ist eben das große Fragezeichen. Für die Intralogistik ist es natürlich auch denkbar, das ist jetzt also eine große Kago-Drohne sozusagen. Da gibt es auch ein Konzept aus Hamburg. Wie man solche Geräte in der Intralogistik nutzen könnte, hat halt ein riesen Vorteil, dass man in der Regel auf seinem eigenen Gelände hin und her fliegt, keine große Belästigung nach außen abstrahlt. Aber ist das wirklich nachhaltig? Ist das wirklich die Lösung für die Probleme? Schauen wir uns mal ein ähnliches Mobilitätskonzept an. Gerade in Hamburg auch sehr kontrovers diskutiert. Wie nachhaltig sind eigentlich diese Geräte, die jetzt in dem Falle in der Mikromobilität auf den letzten Metern helfen sollen? Macht das wirklich Sinn oder ist das eine riesige Ressourcenverschwendung, wenn so ein Gerät im Durchschnitt drei Monate hält und danach weggeschmissen wird? Schaut man sich jetzt mal an, wo eigentlich der Treibstoff für diese Geräte herkommt. Dann sind wir zum Beispiel hier in der Atacama-Wüste oder noch deprimierender in den Kobalt-Mien in Afrika. Dort wird auch dieser Rohstoff abgebaut. Es ist eine seltene Erde, die gibt es halt nicht wie Sand am Meer, sondern eben nur wie Lithium in der Wüste. Und das muss eben auch aus dem Boden herausgebracht werden und das mit Frischwasser, weil es ein Salz ist. Das heißt, man bringt an den einen der trockensten Orte der Welt extrem viel Trinkwasser, um dieses Lithium zu gewinnen. 21 Millionen Liter Wasser jeden Tag. Die Grundwasserspiegel sinken dort immer weiter. Die Bevölkerung trocknet buchstäblich aus, nur für die Gewinnung von diesem Salz. Das heißt also, man muss mehrere Sachen in Betracht ziehen, um einen nachhaltigen Ansatz wirklich zu entwickeln. Welche Aspekte sind all diese ekoeffizienten, socioökonomischen und socio-environmental Aspekte erfüllt? Dann ist es quasi ein nachhaltiger Ansatz. Womit, was heißt das jetzt konkret für uns? Gucken wir jetzt in die Urban Air Mobility. Gibt es also vier große Themen, an denen quasi noch weiter geforscht, entwickelt werden muss aber auch ein offenes Ohr der Städte der Gemeinden braucht, um solche Sachen mit auf den Weg zu bringen. Wenn sich eins von diesen vier Sachen nicht weiterentwickelt, dann bleibt das ganze System stehen. Technology and certification, ich habe es vorhin schon angesprochen. Die Technologie ist jetzt gerade an dem Punkt, wo es gerade so möglich ist. Wir sind noch lange nicht bei den Flugzeiten, die es braucht, um auch längere Distanzen zu überbrücken. Die Infrastruktur muss gebaut werden. Man braucht Start- und Landeplätze. Das können heute normal Haley Ports sein. Das könnten aber auch, wie hier im Bild abgebildet, Bereiche sein, auf einem Gebäude obendrauf. Airspace integration, wie machen wir das? Wenn es tatsächlich um extrem viele Flugbewegungen jeden Tag gibt, ist das noch eine Sache, die mit dem heutigen Air Traffic Management zu lösen ist oder brauchst du da wiederum einen automatisierten Ansatz? Und natürlich die soziale Akzeptanz, ich habe es schon angesprochen. Geht es hier um den Luxus einiger wenigen oder geht es um eine Lösung für die breite Masse? Und das soll eigentlich meine Quintessenz sein und damit würde ich auch gerne die Diskussion starten wollen. Ihre Gedanken dazu mal abfragen und weiterentwickeln. Wo sehen Sie die größten Stolpersteine? Wo sehen Sie das größte Entwicklungspotenzial? Wie kann man hier weiter aufbauen und wirklich Lösungswege erarbeiten, um die Sache auch wirklich zu nutzen können? Denn ich denke, es sind wirklich wertvolle Sachen. Das ist eine sehr große Aufgabe, um dann auch auf dem, was man geschafft hat, weiter aufzubauen. Damit würde ich jetzt gerne in die Diskussion starten. Ich hoffe, der Vortrag war so weit informativ und vielleicht können wir das ja noch ein bisschen weiter ausbauen. Vielen Dank.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz9WGiUPQss", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I'm Jolaine Lovejoy, and I am an open source attorney, worked in various companies, and also on quite a few community projects, including the Software Package Data Exchange, also known as SPDX, and the Open Chain Project, two things I have been involved with a long time and recently as well. So what does it mean to be a lawyer with the open source community? Well, I think most lawyers in this space have a lot of background in intellectual property law, in particular copyright, as well as broader knowledge about software and licensing aspects of software as the foundational knowledge. And then everything in open source licensing builds upon that. It's usually a lot of working with developers and engineers, which I always enjoy. And understanding the community, I think, is also a really, really important thing, because you can't just look at the legal risks in a pure way you might in some other legal areas. You really need to know the bigger context and how the community works in that background. So Linaro is doing lots of open, everything is open source. So there's laws with that and stuff? Well, yeah, open source is open source. Open source licenses enable the collaboration that we see in open source space. So you have a copyright license that gives back all those rights that enables you to share and modify and redistribute the code. So understanding that and how that interplays with other open source licenses or even proprietary licenses and making sure that all works together, as well as there also can be aspects of setting up open source projects in terms of governance and that structure. And kind of like setting up a small business, but with a lot of different rules. So there's a lot of different things. So does I mean all these guys and women around here have to think about it all the time? Because it's interesting, Linaro, I've been doing videos for a few years and there's all these companies that contribute assignees and then contribute money and they hire people to work on free open source software. Right. And it just kind of works out? Yes, there's a few more layers than that in order to make it work out, which can range from the agreements that those companies have with Linaro in terms of the assignees, the engineers that work on the code and then is also just the way Linaro is structured and then the licenses for the projects. But I don't think that the engineers are thinking about the open source licenses all the time or at least I would hope not because that wouldn't be a good use of their time. So what would be the collaboration? How do you fit in and work with them or with companies? As a lawyer? I mean, I think it can range from what you would traditionally think a lawyer does in terms of assessing risk and keeping the company within the bounds of the law whatever part of the law that is, helping identify the more specific aspects of engaging in the open source community where that interplay is with the law. And then it can be not just sort of strictly legal, if you will, in terms of understanding that, how that there's sort of more legal questions or the licensing questions that intersect with the actual how stuff gets done and how the community operates. So are there lots of things happening in terms of the law around open source? The law itself, I think, usually changes quite slowly. But there's always new things happening. And so it depends on what you mean by what's happening in the law. There's always kind of litigation and lawsuit activities. One thing you might think of that can change things. You also may just see people coming out with new licenses or new ways to license things and whether or not. Or even sometimes we see new open source licenses. So there's changes in that and maybe changes in how projects are structured that we can cut across some touch upon legal aspects. And so there's like new precedents happening, right? Some new cases that get resolved and the precedents become law, kind of, right? Sometimes, yeah. I mean, that's a rather slow, like I said, it's a rather slow process. And there's so many different countries. So the EU is different from the Brexit in the UK and is different from the US. We've sort of globally agreed upon some common foundational rules, if you will, and especially when it comes to copyright. There are variations from each jurisdiction, but there's also some commonalities that we can rely on as well. Even China? Even China to some extent, yeah. So in your keynote, was there some other things that you were talking about that you can mention? Like it was mostly explaining all that you just said? So now my keynote was more about how lawyers and developers can sort of get along better and work together. So I just sort of had a collection of advice or lessons learned, if you will, from being in this space for a while on how we can be more efficient how we work together. Because lawyers and engineers do have to work together more. I think open source kind of forces that more direct interaction. And sometimes that's sort of challenging for people. And so just trying to kind of share some of my insights of both sides of the coin as well as just how organizations also engage with open source and sort of some of the bigger responsibilities we have on maintaining those sort of social norms that create open source collaboration. I can imagine a lot of these people that work in open source have some kind of fundamental philosophy, life philosophy, that is a little bit anti-copyright and all that stuff. That's why they work in free software a little bit. They are kind of anti-establishment a little bit. Right. Yeah, maybe. You could say that for some people, I think. But that's sort of inside. I think the irony is that, as I said before, open source licenses are built on copyright law. So that's what helps enable that structure around creating collaboration. So for someone to be sort of anti-intellectual property law, it sort of doesn't almost fit with the reality of what's happening now. I mean, I think there's other aspects of law that people may have issues with. But the standard of open source licenses is definitely taking the legal construct and then using it in order to create that sharing. That might be why there is some friction sometimes, right? Between those open source developers and the lawyers, maybe? Because they think, ah, I don't need this or something like that. Well, I don't. I have lots of theories of why there's friction. I think generally people just kind of don't like lawyers. And when lawyers are involved, they think it's a bad thing or it's a scary thing. And that was kind of some of the point of my talk is not looking at it that way, basically. Looking at it from the perspective of how do we sort of help each other and how do we work better together instead of seeing it as a necessary friction, which I don't think there needs to be. Is there a lot of licensing going on from the open source community is trying to adopt technologies that are proprietary to some companies and trying to convince them that they should bring those things over to the open source? Maybe there's some money involved or transactions or contracts. And maybe suddenly they go and say, hey, can we please have this over here in the open source? And then there's discussions going on. I don't. Those kind of conversations, if someone is going to take something proprietary and make it open source is probably a decision up to that company. So you're not going to usually see that. Some companies do that. Some companies make that decision on their own. They say, oh, you know what? This isn't this technology. It'd be more useful if it's more freely available. Like that value exceeds the value of whatever money they may be making off of it. So you see that sometimes happening. But it's usually, you know, that's usually an internal business decision. And then you just see it once it happens. And here at the Narrow Connect, you're going to have some meetings with some of the open source developers. So what are you planning to do? I am only here until tomorrow. So I've been just chatting with people and enjoying my time here and then enjoying Vancouver. And then I head home. Where's that? Boulder, Colorado. All right. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzUXGr456cI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I mean, if Biden is a socialist, so is everybody in American politics today. And Josh Hawley is just as much a socialist as Biden is. And certainly Trump was arguably even more socialist than Biden. So they're all socialist in a sense that they're all, they're all statists. But you see, this is the problem. I just, let's draw a line for a second. Words have meaning. Words have meaning. And it doesn't help when we make the meaning of those words ambiguous. It actually makes communication more difficult. So people call Democrats communists. Well, some of them at the very, very far left are. But communism means something. It means the dictatorship of the proletariat. It means the dictatorship. It means subjugating all of us to the whim of a leader. It probably means the murder of hundreds of thousands, if not more people. Because you need to cleanse in order to do communism properly. It means a real commitment to egalitarianism. And it has all theory associated with it in terms of how government it means. It means immediately the nationalization of all private property, all land, all productive property will be nationalized. That's what communism means. You nationalize everything, everything. I don't think there's anybody. I mean, there's some people. But there are very, very few people affiliated with the Democratic Party who are communists in that sense. I know communists who really want to nationalize all property. Keel says Biden will increase taxes to 40%. Whose taxes? The very wealthy? How much they pay now? Anybody know how much the very wealthy pay now? I mean, very wealthy means over 250,000 if you're an individual and I think it's 400,000 or something like that as a couple. What is the top marginal tax rate today in America? No, on a federal level, not on a state level. Federal level, purely federal level. What is it? Because 40% sounds scary. But if you realize that right now it's 37. something, then he wants to increase by an additional 2%, 3%? Okay. Is that making him a communist or socialist? No, it's more than 34. It's 37. And under Obama, what was it? Under Bush and Obama. I think under Obama it was 39. And if you include Social Security in Medicare, Medicare is 2.7%. So 37% plus 2.7, you're already at 40%. So today the top marginal tax rate is already over 40%. Biden will not tax capital gains at 40%. I am willing to bet anything you want on the fact that Biden will not increase capital gains taxes to 40%. And the reason is simple. I mean, who vote, who are the funders of Biden? Who are the funders of the Democratic Party? It's, you know, Wall Street. A lot of trust fund babies who live off of capital gains. Silicon Valley. I mean, they're not going to tolerate, they're not going to tolerate a massive tax increase. Not Biden will torpedo his own economy. There's no question, but he'll torpedo it not by raising taxes, he'll torpedo it by spending government money with no end. But even there, I think that some Democrats will bulk and it'll be very difficult to pass that in the Senate even to get 50 votes in the Senate for massive spending and massive tax cuts. It's just, it's not going to happen. There's not going to be that much done. The far left, yeah, I mean, there are people in the far left that nationalize the media. There are people in the far left that you can categorize as communists just as there are people in the far right that you can categorize as Nazis. But they have no real influence. So they're not communists. Now, are they socialists? Well, some of them are. But even the ones who call themselves socialists, are they really socialists? Now first, if Denmark is an example of socialism, then that's not socialism. If what they want is to turn American to Denmark in some ways we'd be better off, in some ways worse off, but in some ways better off. Socialism means something. Socialism is a system by which the means of production are owned by the state. There is no socialist government today, even in Europe. Never mind the Democrats in the United States. Very few Democratic senators want to literally own the means of production. Indeed, what everybody is is not a socialist. What everybody is in Washington D.C. almost everybody is a kind of a fascist. They all want to keep the means of production in supposedly private hands, but they want to regulate it and control it. They want the state to run it. That's what Trump wanted. That's what Obama wanted. I mean, Obamacare is that. You have insurance companies. You have private doctors. You have private hospitals. But not really. They're all doing the government's bidding. They're all controlled by the government. And in that sense, all of that is fascism more than anything else. Yes, some in the Democratic Party want single-payer healthcare. But the U.K. has single-payer healthcare. It's terrible, by the way. But they're not socialists. I mean, even the Conservative Party in England advocates for single-payer. So let's use words accurately. And I think the better way to call all of these people is statists. Some of them are drifting towards socialism or drifting towards fascism. And yes, I know all of these are forms of statism and there's a sense in which socialism is a word that captures all of them. But I think you lose the essence when you lump them all together and call them all socialism. When people hear socialism, I think owning them means a production. Nobody is advocating for that. Even Biden's not advocating for nationalizing industry in the United States. So they're all statists. And when it comes to economics, they're all fascists. That's what they are. And that's what's going to continue. And that's where we are. The next four years are going to be tough because I think the economy, there's no such thing really as democratic socialism and even democratic socialism. I'll give you an example of a real democratic socialism. I think it was 1980, maybe 81. You can correct me. I don't remember the exact date. Mitterrand. You remember Mitterrand was elected president of France. And Mitterrand was a democratic socialist. A real one. So what did he do? What was the first thing that Mitterrand did as a democratic socialist? He nationalized the banks. I mean literally. He nationalized the banks. He took the banks and made them state run and found. Now that's what a democratic socialist is. He's a socialist who was elected democratically but he still does what a socialist does which is nationalize. Now it turned out very badly for Mitterrand. He was going against the tide of history. This is the 1980s. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were overseeing economies that were booming and France sunk like a rock. The nationalization of the banking industry was a complete and utter disaster. Complete and utter disaster. And he had to privatize the banks. And he landed up being a president that drifted towards embracing the private sector because that's the only way he could survive and that's the only way he could compete. So democratic socialism is the... Socialists get elected democratically. But in most western countries they don't survive. They haven't survived. Sweden, Norway, Denmark are not socialist. Whether you call them social democracy or democratic socialism doesn't matter. They're not socialist. They're statists. They redistribute a lot of wealth but they also allow for private enterprise, private property and they regulate less than the United States. Wearing this no wonder it's super hot. Yes, Mitterrand was 1981 to 1995. Thank you. And he was almost kicked out very early on because the nationalization of banks went so badly. But he won re-election because he shifted. And he privatized and he moved towards more market-oriented solutions. I'm not trying to convince you that more Nazis than all communists funny that I never said any of that. All I said was that the fall left has their communists and the fall right has their Nazis. I didn't make any implication in terms of numbers. I don't know what the numbers are. I don't know what the numbers are. I think there are a lot of wackos on the fall right even if we don't want to call them Nazis. There are kinds of forms of fascists and unthinking fascists on the fall right that I think are, you know, significant numbers. You know, who are not Nazis but there's also not that many actual communists. I actually think the real problem on the left is not communism. The real problem on the left, I've said this many, many times, is nihilism. I think most of the fall left is nihilists. It's not that they're trying to establish a dictatorship of the parliament. It's they're just trying to establish chaos, destruction for the sake of chaos and destruction. They're trying to tear everything down for the sake of tearing everything down. I think we're in for bad economic times that the Biden administration will try to solve by printing more money. I would not be surprised at all if the next four years we see stagflation, a stagnant economy with real inflation. And I mean here inflation by price inflation. We've already got inflation in terms of inflating the money supply. I really think that we are, as an economy, we're going to struggle to create jobs. We're going to struggle to get people, you know, to get people to be successful in the middle class. But that's where we are today. And that's what we're heading towards. We're heading towards greater strife, greater problems, greater challenges. And, you know, Biden claims unity is the answer, but unity is not the answer. You're not going to unite the left and the right, Angela Wright, but wackos on the far left have cultural power. I know that. Why is this, why are you saying this as if I don't understand it, as if this is some new revelation you're going to make? I know, I know that wackos on the left have cultural power. Wackos on the right have cultural power as well. You saw that in 78 million people voting for Trump. You saw that in January 6th. You see that everywhere. You see, you know, wackos of the right influence in the culture, not through the cultural institutions of universities and things like that, but through other mechanisms. Culture is not just what comes down in the universities, otherwise we'd all be nihilists and communists now. We're not. But the far left has far more cultural power. There's no question about that. Nobody's questioning that. I've attacked their various ideologies over and over and over again over the last 20 years as a public figure. And I will continue to do so. They're nuts. They're crazy. I mean, nuts is too generous because they're evil. Their ideology is evil. They're manifestations of evil. It's all evil stuff. That doesn't change the fact that they are evil bad people on the right. Now, I know you want all the focus to be on the left. You're not going to get that from me. You're going to get me pointing out bad stuff wherever it happens to be, attacking policies and philosophies and ideologies that are bad wherever they happen to be on your fictitious political map of left and right. Evil is evil is evil. Bad stuff is bad stuff is bad stuff. I don't care where it comes from. It needs to be called out. What we need today, what I called a new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist brought.

UC_JWK9m_tt68oZTX7GWxWnQ	Katarina Radovic "Until Death Do Us Part" / Exhibition	Katarina Radovic "Until Death Do Us Part" / Weddings in Europe	[ "Katarina", "Radovic", "Until Death Do Us Part", "Weddings", "in", "Europe" ]	2011-06-26T23:56:21	2024-04-18T17:42:02	289	VZbEyeSdEYo	My name is Katarina Radovic, I'm a freelance photographer since 2006 when I graduated in Belgrade Academy of Arts. And at the moment we are standing in the cultural centre of Belgrade Gallery Art Get, where I can show you my second solo exhibition that is taking place in this gallery. The exhibition is called Until Death Do Us Part, weddings in Europe 2009, 2010. And the work has been going on for this exhibition since January 2009, and it's still ongoing because I'm planning to do a book, a monograph on a subject. The initial idea is about the wedding ceremony and the wedding day and what it implies altogether. I looked for couples which are cross-cultural, or for couples that are immigrants in some countries of Europe from a different continent, for example. It is interesting to see how some traditional customs appear to be shared between two different cultures in a way that one culture makes a concession for another, and I have some cases, I photograph some cases where, for example, something completely new happens out of an old custom. For example, a Vietnamese wedding dress in a white colour, which is a non-usual thing in Vietnam, but in Europe it becomes normal because European wedding dresses are always white. One of the most extravagant weddings was actually here in Serbia, and it's a Roma wedding in a village near Belgrade, which lasted, of course, three days minimum, and the couple arrived in a helicopter and everything was organised for 1,000 and something guests in a big tent with air conditioner and the red carpet and everything. But I must say the funny thing was that it was all done a little bit clumsily because the helicopter landed in a wrong field and then the bride had to fight with her high heels and some irregular ground and it was funny because the husband didn't really help her a lot with her dress. For me the best atmosphere at the wedding was actually in two gay weddings that I photographed. Quite by chance it was a gay wedding. In the first case it was a wedding between two girls in Amsterdam. One was Scottish, the other American, and the atmosphere was really great. One of them was a cabaret dancer and I must say that the weddings at last a bit short, not the whole day and whole night, then they can be a bit more effective and a bit more amusing and you really feel like staying there until the end not to yawn until the next morning and hope to go home. But in that way I think that Amsterdam wedding was one of the best and also because in this environment where I live it's not yet common to have... I mean, of course, they're not recognised gay marriages but for me it was a new thing to witness and also it was really good to see how nobody had anything against. No member of the family or any person present had anything against but on the other hand they were really so happy, so I was happy too.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZbEyeSdEYo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

The Suphalak Cat is an extremely rare breed of cats with a typical solid brown to copper-colored coat that found its origin in Thailand almost 3 centuries ago. Often confused with the Havana Brown and the ebony-colored Burmese cats, these cats are a natural breed of pure Thai origin, and the breed standards do not allow out-crosses with other non-Thai cats. When they are in the sun, their coat typically emits an almost reddish cast. Though in normal light, they look more towards the darker chocolate side. The color of their whiskers is also brown, and the nose leather is of rosy-brown color. The paw pads are light brown, having a pink tone, while their eyes are a bright yellow to golden in color. Here are some of the interesting facts about the Suphalak Cat, which will give you some further insight into its characteristics and temperament. 1. Suphalak Cat's History. The Suphalak cats were mentioned in pictorial and written descriptions for the first time in the ‘Tamra Maew’, which is supposed to have originated in the Ayutthaya Kingdom. These books discuss different breeds of the heritage cats from Thailand like the Suphalak, the Korat, and the blue-eyed, seal point Siamese cat named Wichienmaat. Among these the most well-known being the Korat that has established its popularity around the world, and also bred in Thailand for the purpose of preservation. Translated as ‘The Cat-Book Poems’, these are a collection of ancient manuscripts a dozen of which are preserved in Thailand’s National Library, while the rest are in the British Library and National Library of Australia. In all these manuscripts, the name Suphalak has appeared time and again referring to the ‘magnificent’ characteristics of the feline. So is the name ‘Thong Daeng’ in the older Tamra Maew manuscripts, describing it as “copper-colored”. One of these poems compares the rarity of these cats with that of gold. The cat has been described to have been having a solid-colored coat, while elsewhere in the scripts, their complexion has been depicted to be like ‘ripe copper’, which, most probably refers to heated copper that takes more to the reddish side. However, the English translation of these poems has not been completely clear. While still in other parts of these texts, the color of their coat has been defined as simply solid red, with the color of their eyes being like ‘thuptim’, which translates to ruby or pomegranate that ‘sparks’ and ‘shines’ like rays. Though a cat with crimson eyes is not very common, however, the translation can be more accurate upon studying the pomegranates that are found locally in Thailand are studied. These fruits have a skin that is flavescent to golden yellow. This might offer a clearer alternative interpretation of the color of the eyes that are found in the suphalaks today. On 7th April, 17 67, with the end of the Burmese Siamese war, the Siamese front lost the battle and all the royal treasures were stolen, along with the Buddha images made of gold. Their members of the royal household, along with the noblemen, were taken captive. When the king of Burma read about a brown cat named Suphalak in the Tamra Maew, he could learn that, these cats are ‘rare as gold’ and anyone who would possess these lucky cats would become rich. He ordered his men to bring all these cats to Burma. Till date, this legend takes round amidst the Thai people as a humorous explanation of the reason as to why the process of development of the Suphalaks has been so slow, and they are still so uncommon. 2. Suphalak Cat's Appearance. The Suphalak's coat color should be a rich and even shade of warm brown throughout the body. The coat color is ideally more of a red-brown rather than a black-brown and does not show tabby markings. The Tamra Maew refers to this color as "thong daeng", or the color of copper. Breeders in Thailand today often compare the coat color to the pulp of the tamarind fruit pod, a common ingredient used in Thai cuisine. The overall body and head type should be consistent with the native population of domestic cats found in Thailand. The body is medium-sized, muscular, and semi-foreign in type. The head type is described as a modified wedge, medium width, and moderate length. Neither the body nor head type should be extreme in any way. The whiskers should be brown, complementing the coat color while the nose leather is a rosy-brown color. The paw pads should be light brown with a pink tone.

These books discuss different breeds of the heritage cats from Thailand like the Suphala, the Korot, and the Blue-eyed, Seal Point Siamese cat named Wichunmon. Among these the most well-known being the Korot that has established its popularity around the world, and also bred in Thailand for the purpose of preservation. Translated as the cat book poems, these are a collection of ancient manuscripts a dozen of which are preserved in Thailand's National Library, while the rest are in the British Library and National Library of Australia. In all these manuscripts, the name Suphala has appeared time and again referring to the magnificent characteristics of the feline. So is the name thong dying in the older Tamer Mayu manuscripts, describing it as copper colored. One of these poems compares the rarity of these cats with that of gold. The cat has been described to have been having a solid colored coat, while elsewhere in the scripts, their complexion has been depicted to be like ripe copper, which, most probably refers to heated copper that takes more to the reddish side. However, the English translation of these poems has not been completely clear. While still in other parts of these texts, the color of their coat has been defined as simply solid red, with the color of their eyes being light-feptum, which translates to ruby or pomegranate that sparks and shines like rays. Though a cat with crimson eyes is not very common, however, the translation can be more accurate upon studying the pomegranates that are found locally in Thailand are studied. These fruits have a skin that is flay-vescent to golden yellow. This might offer a clearer alternative interpretation of the color of the eyes that are found in the Suphalax today. On 7 April, 1767, with the end of the Burmese-Siamese War, the Siamese Front lost the battle and all the royal treasures were stolen, along with the Buddha images made of gold. Their members of the royal household, along with the noblemen, were taken captive. When the king of Burma read about a brown cat named Suphalak in the Tamra Mayu, he could learn that, these cats are rare as gold and anyone who would possess these lucky cats would become rich. He ordered his men to bring all these cats to Burma. Till date, this legend takes round amidst the Thai people as a humorous explanation of the reason as to why the process of development of the Suphalax has been so slow, and they are still so uncommon. 2. Suphalax cat's appearance The Suphalax coat color should be a rich and even shade of warm brown throughout the body. The coat color is ideally more of a red-brown rather than a black-brown and does not show tabby markings. The Tamra Mayu refers to this color as thong dyeing, or the color of copper. Breeders in Thailand today often compare the coat color to the pulp of the Tamran fruit pod, a common ingredient used in Thai cuisine. The overall body and head type should be consistent with the native population of domestic cats found in Thailand. The body is medium-sized, muscular, and semi-foreign in type. The head type is described as a modified wedge, medium width, and moderate length. Neither the body nor head type should be extreme in any way. The whiskers should be brown, complementing the coat color while the nose leather is a rosy brown color. The paw pads should be light brown with a pink tone. The eye color is a bright yellow or gold color, described in the Tamra Mayu as shining and sprinkling sun rays. Hello. This video is sponsored by Beemix Pets.

Sub-Halak Cats Temperament and Personality The Sub-Halak cats are an active, interactive, and assertive breed of cats that cherish the company of people. Being said so, it is needless to explain how dearly they are fond of their owners and family members. Being affectionate themselves, they expect the same love that they give to you. So, all that they hate is being left alone or ignored. They are playful and zealous, and need a little bit of your time and attention, especially when it comes to an interactive play session. So it is a good decision to provide these active felines with cat toys, and a separate enclosure, dedicatedly meant for them to explore around during their moments of adventure. This breed is intelligent, and would understand immediately what you want to say or express. Their prompt intelligence and communicative abilities often take on more to the dog's side. 4. Taking Care of Sub-Halak Cats The beauties in Copper do not require extensive grooming, except for brushing their coats from time to time, maybe a couple of times every week. This is primarily because of helping them get rid of dead hairs, stay clean, and maintain the shimmering luster of their elegant coat. However, like most other cats, they constantly keep cleaning themselves whenever they find themselves dirty. Because this is a newly developed breed, the Sub-Halak Cats have no known breed-specific health issues at present. Although, genetic diseases that are common to almost all other domestic breeds of cats cannot be ruled out. 5. Sub-Halak Cats Training General cat training is recommended. Being intelligent and communicative, they would pick up commands and tricks easily. Teach them the basic home etiquette, and all the rules of your household that you expect your felid to know. 6. Sub-Halak Cats Diet There are no dietary plans that are specific to this particular breed. Only a general cat diet and normal cat food are enough to keep it healthy. 7. Sub-Halak's Breed Development Throughout the past several decades, many breeders in Thailand have bred thong-dying cats with dark points and considered them to be Suphalaks. They were entered into cat shows in Thailand and exhibited as Suphalaks. Noted authors such as Martin Clutterbuck assumed this was the case. As a result, there was much confusion, especially among Burmese breeders who mistakenly insisted that Suphalaks were a solid sable-colored Burmese cat of Thai origin. Experienced Thai breeder Kamun Priyaka Pukaboo disagreed with these breeders because the ancient poems describe a cat with a whole-body copper appearance and that would mean even the skin needed to be reddish in color and not dark or black like a sable-colored Burmese cat. Using one proper Suphalak mail, he tried to resurrect this lost breed of cat with the ideal features, but without success. This has been attributed to two major problems, the first being that the Suphalak is so rare that breeders have had great difficulty finding them. Genetically, the Suphalak is a chocolate self, expressing two recessive alleleys for the brown color B and the dominant C allele giving the Suphalak a solid brown color. For two recessive alleleys to randomly combine without human intervention, and a Thai temple or on the street is rare. Secondly, the solid copper chocolate Suphalak was so scarce that few people had ever seen one and even if they did, they would not know that there was anything special about it, so there was no concerted effort to preserve these cats and they never entered a breeding program until recently.

I really so let me just say a few things about us Don't you love Ruby? Don't you love having this conference? but Like I've been away kind of for a year I had some life things get in the way so I have not actually been to a conference in over a year and There's something so wonderful like you you get off the plane you get on the airport And you look around and you're like those people are nerds Like you can tell right you can tell on that taxi cab line like maybe we should get them in our cab And then you get in the lobby and it's like like I can have any kind of conversation I'm with anybody without boring anybody Here that it's totally gonna happen And so I know that it costs money to come but the money and pay for it You know that it doesn't really pay for everything and and I feel like the sponsors have been sufficiently thanked You should probably go to all the booths and thank them But there's one thing that I've heard said over and over again from this stage Which is I don't know maybe someone like Marty will model it for me. Will you stand up, Marty? Now how many times have you been told that if you have a problem that you should seek out someone in a blue shirt and Some of you may have done that, but I think there's another thing we need to do for all the people in the blue shirts So I'm gonna give you one assignment after you leave here before you leave today Go out on the hall and find someone in one of these shirts and shake their hand and thank them It's a lot of work and most of those people you don't know their names So ask them their name and shake their hand and tell them how much you appreciate all the work They've done to make this happen All right, so there we go. I'm sorry. My key notes always make me laugh So I hate to be the one to bring this to your attention but I fear that you are unhappy and I think that most of your unhappiness is an outgrowth of dealing with other people And I have two reasons for thinking this one is that you know I wrote I wrote code from probably a longer period of time than most of your lives And now I travel and I teach so I dip in and out of shops like programming shops 10 or 12 times a year And so I see unhappiness on the ground all kinds of unhappiness in different places So I see it. That's one reason I believe that you're unhappy But it's but I also believe that you're unhappy because there's a study about it I Came out this summer For people some of whose names I cannot pronounce so I won't even try this is they describe it as being on the distribution and causes of programmer unhappiness and so here's what they did they Harvested half a million email addresses from GitHub And then they randomly selected 33,000 people and of those they sent out surveys and they ended up getting 1,300 some responses They corresponded back and forth with those people and they ended up identifying 219 specific kinds of ways to be unhappy All right, and so they took those 219 unhappiness codes and they sent them back to this group of people and had them rank Which ones caused them unhappiness and they got back a total of 2200 some references to codes now of course and That's like 10 10 average right 10 votes per average for some kind of unhappiness But of course it turns out the distribution is not that even Here are the top 10 causes of programmer unhappiness Being stuck. I don't know I find that kind of weird because I sort of think that's fun, but What do I know all right time? Bad code underperforming colleagues. I thought that was super interesting I wondered if they're called their underperforming colleague got this survey if they would say this like is it a circular firing squad kind of thing Feelings of inadequacy boring things unexplained broken code so it goes on and on So I found this was super interesting and you notice they categorize some things as internal and some as external I Am not all that interested in the internal things. I'm gonna I agree that they're important But they're not about this talk. All right, so I'm gonna get rid of them And this I I just don't buy that feeling bored is external So I'm because I'm up here and I have this in my hand. I'm just gonna get rid of that, too And so now we're left with these six right this accounts for a 500 Like this is a large proportion of the reason that we report for being unhappy And if you look at these six things you can really decide I believe that the root cause of all these things is other people That's what we're saying other people can be so annoying Like you probably know how to fix all those things right you have an idea But it's other people that keep making mistakes that cause and paint that causes paint to roll down hill to you If only they would behave the way you want them to behave Everything would be better and so if despite your best efforts You've been unable to get people to behave the way you want them to behave this is obviously a problem of persuasion and Now it's the time for me to confess that I have degree in psychology and this is something from which one never recovers It is really shaped how I think about the world and so when I see groups of humans who are unhappy Because they can't come to an agreement. I see it as a problem of persuasion and this makes me sad This shouldn't happen because it turns out that humans are absolutely hardwired to be persuadable Like in the early days of human evolution the world is scary and dark and when and groups of humans that could Bind together and collaborate live to reproduce. This is how evolution works right we are products of the process that selected us for cooperation and when people can't get along there's some There's a fundamental systemic failure in our interactions There's lots and lots of research about this There's lots of data about the ways in which we're persuadable and I'm gonna take you through a couple of different points of view about how persuasion works Here's one perspective. This guy's named Sildini, I think I'm not Italian Robert Sildini. He wrote this book the psychology of persuasion persuasion It has sold three million copies. I have a book and it will never sell three million copies This is all this is a lot of books right so he goes through in this book He goes through a bunch of research about persuasion and he ends up grouping kinds of persuasion into six categories And so he has a he develops a framework to talk about persuasion And I'm gonna go through those categories tell you what they are The first one the first rule about persuasion is the rule of reciprocity and here's what the rule says it says that If I give you something or help you in any way Then you are if I attempt to help you if I attempt to do you a favor you are obligated to take it And you are obligated to reciprocate And you are obligated to reciprocate I can ask you for something back even before you volunteer it And I can ask you for something back that is bigger than what I gave you That's what the rule says It's it's interesting. This is a rule that saddles humans with a future obligation and The evolutionary basis of this is I can give something away without losing it I can give you food or shelter or space at my fire Knowing that it doesn't really actually go away for me And so you can you can really see how the rest of pop the reciprocity rule would make it so that we groups of humans could survive Because it's so hard-wired into since extremely easy to exploit. Does anybody know who these guys are? Yeah, you're too young. It's really scary. They're high Christian is yeah And so back in the 80s notice what they have in those baskets. They're giving away flowers and here's how they have a Hesitant I hesitate to use the word scam. They have a thing. They have a fundraising opportunity and this is how it works They gave you a flower and then they ask you for donation and It really exploits the reciprocity rule right nobody wants the flower Like you know like in the 80s all the airports in America were full of these people And they would you would like sneak around through the main like lobby trying to avoid making eye contact with a higher Christian Because it would give you that flower. It was really hard to turn it down and once you took it It was really hard to refuse to give them a donation that it's an illustration of how powerful this rules People so if you could not avoid being having a flower forced on you people just throw them away around the next corner And it turns out they actually there would be someone on the Christian team whose job was to go take the discarded flowers out of Trash cans and bring them back for recycling like they totally understood that they were abusing this rule and it really Offended people so much so that the reason you don't see this anymore is in 1992 the Port Authority of New York City Brought a case that went all the way to Supreme Court that banned Soliciting like this in public spaces in America We hated that we don't want to be used in this way because this rule is important to us and we don't want to see it violated Okay, that's rule number one rule number two is consistency It turns out we have a strong built-in desire to continue to appear consistent to things statements. We've made earlier One way you see this exploited is that you know that thing parents here know it You know that thing we're in November December on Saturday mornings this time of year There are ads on the Saturday morning cartoons for the cool new toy and Your child begs you for that toy and you promise that you will bring it to them for Christmas And then you find that it is unavailable in any store Right, and so you eventually break down and you buy them something else and then mysteriously after the holidays The ads reappear and now and now the toys are in the stores and your child says your child sees the ads And they say but can you get me the whatever it is and you say well? I got you Christmas and they say but you promised All right toy makers do this on purpose because they're trying to spread their Sales cycle out for the whole year and this is the way they can make you buy in December And then they can make you buy again in January It's deliberate the fact that those toys are unavailable in December. I know it's kind of it's kind of makes me grumpy Sorry, I should have switched slides All right, so the third rule is about social proof We had a social proof example the other day when the firearm went off right social proof says if I don't know What to do in time especially in times of uncertainty. I will do what others do Like I know the social proof rule. I was standing with a group of people in the hallway, and I'm like let's go Right, it's hard to make that action. I use this rule all the time I'm a I'm a cyclist and it is common to be on a long ride and that is absent of facilities shall we say and Then you're in the woods. That's what's happening. All right, and it doesn't matter how rural the road is as soon as you get off your bike and go off in the woods cars start going by and And if you have a your friends your set of colorfully dressed cyclists They're standing by the road like all the cars go by and they look at those cyclists and then We if there's a possibility that you offend sensibilities at this point, right? And so we have developed a street a scheme a strategy like I can absolutely control the gaze of passers-by And here's what you do and you just tell your friends when car when a car comes to fixed at least stare in the opposite direction And you can watch it cars come up all the heads in the cars turns of the cyclist and then they all turn and look in the direction of their gaze Totally works right social proof So rule number four is about authority there's two kinds of authority really there's this there's a The kind of authority that's exhibited by people in uniforms, right? This is the obey me kind of authority judges cops teachers We they have a role in society and we agree that we will be persuaded by the things They say because of their role there's also another kind of authority, which is called expert authority We use that a lot here right like I learned TDD because some expert told me I ought to and believe me My initial experience was not good. I went from being a super well feeling as if I was a super competent programmer to being absolutely Accomplishing zero from one day to the next because of my attempts to do TDD But I persevered because I thought that the expert was right All right, it's it's a way to shortcut decision-making about things that we don't know enough about and That can be super handy, but it can also go badly wrong you can imagine The second to the last rule It's about liking We if the people like you they're more likely to do what you want Now I know that you're probably having a big duh Right now, but but think about that like Liking is so biologically hardwired into us that we never really examine what it's about It's amazingly powerful. Right. Why do we like people? What purpose does liking serve? We tend to like people who are similar to us and we tend to like people who've we've had positive interactions with in the past You know that feeling so Liking is linked. Okay, so liking is linked to trust and it's about trusting that they'll reciprocate So there's this binding of community that goes with liking You know that this explains why it feels so creepy if someone is over friendly Right, have you ever had that feeling? It's like I didn't know we were this good or friends There's a there's a feeling you're suspicious of people who are overly friendly for no reason because you you understand implicitly that you're Being bound in an obligation that you might not want to fulfill and so liking is so hardwired into us that we rarely examine it But it's an it's interesting to ask why does liking exist like what is the origin of this phenomena and Finally the last general category for caldini is something called scarcity We tend to value things more if we feel like there's few of them, right? This is why Amazon tells you there's tells you there's only seven left All right, the value of things go up when there are fewer of them and this this explains some really curious phenomena You know, it is not your imagination that they go more slowly when you're waiting on that parking place You're right and the people who are leaving like if you're waiting if someone's backing out of a place and you park your car and wait What happens is The the space becomes more valuable because you also want it and the drivers who are leaving that space Report that they are hustling that they are moving more quickly because you're waiting But if you measure it, they are actually going more slowly The only way you can make them go even slower still is to blow your horn That because what it does is it signifies how valuable you find that space the more value you place on it And if they can see it the more reluctant they are to let it go That's the principle scarcity and so there you go. That's all of Cildini These six properties I they feel In many ways they feel like triumphs of human nature to me like they feel like very positive things and yet Cildini describes them in this book as weapons of influence Now I'm gonna brief digression. I am really careful about how many keynote effects I use Because it feels like you could get bored with it, but did you notice how well Andy did yesterday morning? He's every he's that wall falling over thing a Million times and I never hated him for it. So I'm just gonna I'm just gonna play that again So I got So This book truly is about weaponizing these things and I have to tell you I hated it it really offended me I'm gonna read you two quotes from the first chapter He's talking about these things as weapons of influence their strength is in the nearly mechanical process by which the power within these weapons Can be activated and the consequent exploit ability of this power by anyone who knows how to trigger them That's great. Here's another quote the graded their great advantage is not only that they work But also that they are virtually undetectable All right. Yeah, okay. We don't you don't you love that? So these things are hardwired right? Stimulously to the response if you know if you're aware of these rules you can absolutely use them to your advantage This book is about selling people things And it's also true that if you don't understand these rules You should you should probably not be allowed to go buy a car by yourself Like don't go in the car lot right because they all know and so I really appreciate these qualities of humans And I hate the idea that we're gonna Syrup-ticiously in a non-transparent way try to exploit them to manipulate other people and so despite the fact that the research is Completely valid. I hate this point of view. So I'm looking for another one and I found this from the days of black and white This is It's Dale Carnegie. You bet. He wrote this book how to win friends and influence people And I'm just gonna run you it's the book is in four sections. I had never read it like we're all aware of it Right probably everybody in here's heard of it. I had never read it It comes in four sections each section is ends with a list of the principles covered in that section So I'm just gonna show you the sections and let the principles run and chat underneath it All right, so the first section is how to make people like you Notice it liking like this his book is opinion, right? It's personal experience But notice how closely these map into the things that we just talked about with seal deli this the first one is about liking There's six things in this category. This is what you have to do. I can promise you if he did those things to me I would like you That would totally work right? Here's the next category. It's about handling people. It's got three things in it All right, and then now this is the longest one. There's 12 things in this category This is how to win people over so this goes more directly to persuade ability at some point about here I started feeling inadequate and it's like, oh, no Imagine the world if we all behave like that Throw down a challenge is it's about that consistency, right? It turns out if you describe people if you say you're a civic-minded kind of person Perhaps she'll help me get out the vote Pete. You hang that label on people. They'll live up to it. That's what that's about So one last one be leader. There's nine things in this category. Why you read these? I want you to think about what would work be like if your bosses did this You have clearly seen this face new haircut and all and when I talked to Sarah about this talk I told her I was reading a Carnegie and then I'd never read it and she offered me a one-line synopsis a plot synopsis I cliff notes of Carnegie and this is what she said. I think there's a lot of truth in that There's a lot of truth in that there's there's actually the Carnegie people would say one more thing about the point of view of All the things in his book think about every one of those things was not about the other person It's about you like Carnegie is about changing the way you behave. His theory is that if you change your behavior You can change the behavior of others It's very definitely about you And so this make people like you handle them respectively win them over and be a leader So if you want and if you want people to be persuaded to your point of view You can do that by changing your own behavior And I have to say that I like that a lot better than the other point of view, right? And so here we are we have these things or unhappy. I'm sure you forgot that but we are and it's because of other people We hate that and then we have these two sort of broad sort of frameworks That we can use to persuade people You can use the you can weaponize you can weaponize influence like sealed up sealed in he tells you and it would probably work Or you can use the the the internally focused things of Carnegie and that would probably work too But at this point There's a question. We haven't asked yet, and it's now time to break it up to bring it up. What if It is possible Everything that we've talked about so far is assuming that you're right That the best thing to do would be if they behave the way you want them to behave All right, and now I think we have to look really hard at that assumption that you're right How do I know that? You should be doing TDD. How can I prove that is better if you make small objects? How can I say that my style guide is better than yours like we don't have any facts? And I like to think that facts are facts still even in the modern world and that we are persuadable by facts But we don't have them very much of what we do what we think about writing software boils down to opinion and so And the arguments I see when I go out in the world the arguments are about not Ends they're not about what we should try to achieve. They're about how to achieve it All right, and so we're having these big fights like either one of two things is true The people that you disagree with are evil and their intent is to destroy your application That's one thing right or they have the same lofty goals as you and they've chosen different means And so it's possible that we are more like than we are different But you would never know it from my point of view when I got on the road You would never know it based on the viciousness of the disagreements Now I think that we do share common goals I do not think the people that disagree with us are evil and I I I think that not only because I believe in your good intentions I do but I also know what motivates you And if you understood their motivations you would be better equipped to forge agreements So why is it that we do the things we do and how can we motivate people to do work? And it turns out this is a problem that's tractable to research to in 2010 a guy named Daniel Pink published this book He did a bunch of research at MIT What he what he did was he had people play puzzles and memorize word lists and shoot balls through hoops all kinds of tasks And he was any incentivized performance with the money Right, so if you did a if you did a little bit of good You get a little bit of money if you did kind of a medium kind of good You get a medium money if you did really good you'd get a lot of money kind of like work is supposed to work All right, it was that thing And here's what he found as long as the task was purely mechanical if you do this then that happens stuff The money actually did work higher mountain money Created higher incentives, which gave led to better performance But as soon as the task became at all creative when whenever there was any kind of cognitive component to the task higher rewards led to worse performance And and this is not one of those you know modern sociological studies that has not been replicated This has been replicated all over all kinds of different people like this is a fact It turns out for simple straightforward if you do this that happens to ask money incentives work great But if you need conceptual creative thinking that those kind of motivations don't work It's it's not that money isn't a motivator money is But you just have to pay people enough to get money off the table Like as soon as you pay them enough so that money is not an issue other things are more far more important about motivation So pink found three things. There are three things that operate to motivate us The first one is a desire for autonomy We want to control our own lives the second one is a Drive to mastery We want to get better at things and the third one Is a desire for purpose and we want our lives to have meaning For those of you aren't who have never done this She may not recognize that that young man is out on a very early on a cold morning on the roof of a house That's being built by Habitat for Humanity in Dallas He's building someone a house purpose We want to do something we want to work for something bigger than ourselves We crave control of our lives We yearn to get better of things and we hunger for work that has meaning These are the things that motivate us and they they perfectly explain open-source software. This is why we do it So if we can agree that these are the motivations we share with everybody that all motivations are as honorable as our own Then conflicts between us must be due to differences about strategy about how to reach our common lofty goals If we desire the same ends but have simply chosen different means the real insufficiency may be one of understanding and Maybe instead of persuading them to do things our way we'd be better served if we got better at collaboration We need to improve our ability not only to influence but to be influenced and that leads me to teamwork teams Studies show groups innovate faster. They innovate more quickly people are happier. They achieve better results They report higher job satisfaction But of course teams involve people and people are the cause of much of our unhappiness So and but it I'm convinced that persuading all those people to do things our way is not the solution to this problem So instead of asking how can we be more persuasive? We should perhaps be asking how can we make better teams and Google asks this question Back in 2012 Google has a lot of teams and they have a lot of data and they're good at it And they really wanted to know they want to be able to predict and make good teams and so they embarked upon a thing They called project Aristotle They looked at Everything look at all their teams they ranked their efficiency and they measured everything and they could not figure it out They could find no pattern that would allow them to predict The outcome the efficiency of a team based on the individual qualities of the team's members They looked at personality they knew things that did not matter right personality types don't matter whether the people are all the Same don't matter whether they socialize after work doesn't matter they looked at everything nine ways from Sunday And they could find no pattern in the data and so while they're struggling this problem They started looking at they came across the idea that a group could have an identity That was different than the identity of the individuals in the group and so and that led them down a path to some research where people were People were looking other research was looking at this idea They had they had someone had come up with a notion that perhaps groups have an intelligence and IQ factor Like individuals have and then the IQ of the group is Separate different than the IQ of any individual in the group that something happens in groups so that they form an identity And when Google started looking at groups along this dimension, they eventually figured it out They eventually isolated the quality that they could use to predict which team was going to be high performing The fundamental thing that distinguishes good teams from dysfunctional ones is how teammates treat one another It's all there is to it. There's two basic behaviors that fold into this one is The members of a team speak roughly in the same proportion Of course, they were psychologists, so they called this Equality and distribution of conversational turn-taking And this doesn't mean that in every meeting everybody speaks the same amount It just means like over a course of the day I have a quote as long as everyone got a chance to talk the team did well But if only one person or a small group spoke all the time collective intelligence declined So that's one predictor of whether teams are gonna do well the next one Is a thing they call average social sensitivity which in all this means this is another fancy psychological way of saying that members of the team could infer how other teammates felt with Non-verbal cues they could look at the expression on your face or they could see your body language And they would know what you were feeling and so these two qualities conversational turn-taking and average social sensitivity are really part of These are two traits that are part of a lot larger bundle and psychologists call it psychological safety This is a group culture where members have a shared belief that their team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking It gives you a sense of confidence that the team won't embarrass or punish you for speaking up It describes a climate where trust and respect Let people be comfortable being themselves Now it this is not the only norm that's important right psychological safety is not the only thing teams need like a culture of Accountability and clear goals they need other stuff like that But this is the quality Google's data indicates that psychological safety is the most critical element in making a successful team This is what makes teams work and making your team safe starts with you You can set the tone of the next conversation that you have Words matter Words about the past are often about blame and you should probably avoid them Words about the future about solutions. They're about corrective action. They're about what goes next When you're faced with conflict, it's okay to have strong opinions, but they should be weakly held You should have an identity but keep it small don't bind yourself in the straight jacket of consistency with your past If you think back on Carnegie's suggestions, they're all open-hearted and forward-looking, right? They're the kinds of things that would make psychological safety if only we could do them and you have to wonder why we don't What is it that prevents us from? Sincerely trying to make them like us from winning them over from being a leader Why do we fail to trust their intentions believe in their motivations and make a safe place? Consider this if you were in the middle of a heated argument and one of your teammates accused you of being purple You would probably say well Tell me more about that You wouldn't have a strong reaction to that because you are not secretly afraid that you're purple You are not your code. You are not your past You are not your parents and you are not responsible for everything and I think if you pop the why can't we come to an agreement stack all the way to the bottom when you look deep in The well what you come to is fear I Know this because I'm afraid and I think that you are too But I also know something else right fear is just the background noise of the human condition We all have it. It doesn't really matter. We can't escape it, but it needn't define us It doesn't matter because despite it alongside it and within it. You are also good enough I feel the need to repeat that I Stand here and I see you and I know that you are good enough hear me Put that burden down Your past does not need to dictate your future I know that I will concede that some situations are some saying that they cannot be fixed And I'm not urging you to stay in them right the height of sanity there is to leave You get to go if it can't be fixed but in situations where the problem is miscommunication rather than pathology The most efficient way to change everyone's future is by taking a deep breath and changing yourself If you want to achieve your purpose learn these tools of persuasion and use the power of persuasion to make your team more psychologically safe We are hardwired to work together a good team is always better than any single Individual and to build the best team. You must reach inside and find a way to be your best self I've got that I have stickers if you want stickers Thank you	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzWLGMtXflg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

So these are products that are backed by the Google Trends information. I'm going to show you this for each and every product as we go through so you can see indeed that these are products that more and more people are coming into the market for. More and more people are currently looking to buy them and probably because it's well I say probably but obviously because we're coming up to Black Friday and we're coming up to Christmas time people are looking for gifts to buy their friends and family. So all of these products ideas at least in my mind make great products to jump on top of get a store built around and launch in time for the Black Friday sales as a way of testing the product is going to work so you can continue to sell it for the Christmas period. So that being said let's jump straight into product number one. Product number one is this foot massager tool. Before I go any further I want to show you that I do somewhat know what I'm talking about when it comes to massage items products whether it's neck massages foot massages that sort of thing people buy them as gifts it's just a fact you might even have seen it before in your own family somebody get your mom somebody get whoever it may be some sort of massage thing it's just I don't know why it's just one of those things people tend to buy for friends and loved ones. So this one is no different the kind of uniqueness to this product is the EMS part of it so it's a different technology and what's really good about it is you can as this video plays you can kind of line your feet up and choose where you want the massage to happen and different parts of your feet are linked to different parts of your body so perhaps if you have a sore back or sore arm or sore shoulder then this diagram on the mat will direct you to where you need to be massaging or using a technology in order to release the pain in that area. If you're wondering what platform I'm using this is called sell the trend we can see there's been kind of like a slow and steady increase in order numbers since sort of a middle of the year which is a great sign it's quite a cheap product only $7.41 recommended selling price is $23 which leaves a fairly tight margin of $14, $15. However coming into Q4 then I think you could probably get away with slightly tighter margins because your conversion rate should be higher as long as you do everything right of course you have a really good store really good ad creative and you put it in front of the right people then I truly do believe that your profit margins will be better and your conversion rate will be better if we flick through then the last few years kind of like for the search term a foot massager we can see October November December spikes massively in popularity during these months so history in theory should repeat itself and this year should be no different let's move on to product number two then we've got a lot to get through we have this sonic smile so basically it's a sonic dental floss tool again before you think what the hell nobody buys these things let's jump on to the water flosser search term which is essentially what this is and we can see this is a relatively new technology like since 2019 it was pretty much non-existent but again this is the sort of thing that people love to buy as gifts I myself have actually received one of these as a gift perhaps it's kind of like one of those gifts that maybe I don't know people obviously want to take care of their teeth for the right reasons and it's just again one of those things toothbrushes as well electric toothbrushes another really really kind of common and popular gift it's the sort of thing that you don't want to spend your own money on but you know it's important and you would like one so you would ask a family or friend to get you one instead the other thing as well is that 4.4 million dollars should not go without being noticed and without being mentioned it's obviously a technology it's obviously a tool that people are interested in order numbers aren't the be all and end all on aliexpress because obviously the majority of their business goes direct to the consumer it's not dropshipping orders but it's a proof of concept if people are ordering this through aliexpress then there's obviously a demand for the product so again if you can do everything correctly really nice looking brand perhaps a private labeled product really nice you you see your ad creative i see absolutely no reason why you couldn't make this work for yourself coming into black friday weekend and of course the christmas period let's move swiftly into product number three then is this shower head so i'm just going to play this video so you can see the different features and functions of it so it has that kind of like rubber bristle so you can use it as kind of like a scrubby motion and i think where this would be absolutely perfect is not only just to pretty much everybody who has a shower that's a pretty cool feature as well that you can pop it off and use it's kind of like a jet but i believe this would make a great shower head for anybody who wants to wash their dog as well so you could do your own research into this perhaps speak to the supplier see if you could get an attachment for an outdoor hose there is a company that you should go and check out if you're interested in this product called pup jet they are seven figure business selling an outdoor attachment for your water hose and it's basically a jet like a car foam jet that you use to wash your dog with and this is brilliant because it has the bristles so you can use that to like get all the mud in that off your dog and it has obviously all the different functions and features to then clean your dog down has the jet function that it's a pretty cool product plus there is that other shower head which has kind of died off now but again that was a proven seven figure product it's the one you may have seen it with all the i think they were copper balls that the water would be filtered through to create not only like a really powerful shower head but also i'm not sure i think like ionized the water or it had some kind of claim to the health benefit that it was making but it was a seven figure product and it was a shower head so i don't see why this one can't replicate that same sort of level of success just to kind of prove it as well we can see that more and more people are like customizing their own shower heads or changing their shower heads for whatever reason maybe more and more people are getting showers but the numbers don't lie i really like to kind of back up my product choices with numbers and if the numbers are there then they cannot they're very black and white and can't be argued with and as we can see since 2004 it's just been an increase and slow and steady which is great because it's not a volatile market it's just going to continue to grow in popularity which is the kind of business that everybody wants to be invested in we have product number four very self-explanatory i'm not going to spend too much time on this i think it's a really nice touch it's obviously the time of year families getting together they're cooking they want to involve their kids i see like nowadays there's a lot of separation between parents and kids when it comes to doing things together because everybody's really busy christmas is the perfect time an excuse because nobody has anything to do but spend time with each other um typically cooking would be left to the adults so having these kind of christmas aprons that you can be matching with your kids can help encourage them get involved in christmas dinner i think it's just really a perfect impulse purchase making it the perfect product to be advertising on social media platforms and as we can see as well more and more people look for aprons as we come into the q4 period because it's typically when people cook more as well and whether and whether isn't as nice and people tend to stay in and cook rather than go out in the cold and rain so um in my opinion definitely a product to consider there's lots and lots as well of other christmas product ideas that you could build an entire Shopify store around before we move on to the next product just 20 seconds of your time if you're enjoying the video so far then i really think you will enjoy this this is a pdf completely free 100 free instant download it's 127 trending product ideas for 2023 and into 2024 product ideas that are essentially working right now it's split across 12 months so whether you pick it up now three months time six months time you will basically have the next 12 months supply of products all ready to go in one handy pdf for free there's no like upsell on the next page or no dodgy stuff like that i mean you put your name in put your email address in and the pdf will be in your inbox within 30 seconds so if that sounds good to you make sure you grab a copy of that it's the top link in the description down below let's jump into one of my favorite products then because i actually have a pair of these not these exact ones but a branded equivalent so the ones i have are called aftershocks these work based on the same technology what i really like about them is number one is their super versatile so like they're like impossible to break number two is their waterproof so you can wear them for swimming as well and excuse me number three is they work on bone conduction so this is actually really poor video but basically what they do is rather than go in your earbuds they go unlike the bony part of your ear so and it uses the vibration so it's when it's the base on them is really crap for that reason but uses the vibrations to i don't i don't know the technology but it doesn't cover your ear um canal so when you're running when you're cycling whatever it is you can still hear pretty much what's going on around you so if you are on busy roads that sort of thing um they're really good for having that kind of like awareness of what you're surrounding so doing a brilliant brilliant product like i said one that i use every week myself again the sales don't lie at 1.8 million dollars and if we actually jump on to the search volumes as well again it's a popular gift idea for the q4 period meaning not only is it getting more and more popular it solves a real kind of pain point for anybody exercising it's going to be a great product into the January period as well typically when more and more people vow to lose weight and start exercising more so one of the better ones i would say in this video for sure and if it's something that you're interested in perhaps you exercise yourself definitely worth a product a product worth sorry ordering yourself and creating some content and building a business and brand around moving on to the next products then and we can see consistent increase in orders over time 77 000 in sales dog beds are pretty much like a win-win this time of year um you need to go with one though that has some sort of usp to it this one being it's obviously a big poor which is obviously matching to the type of animal that uses it um so it's not just your regular dog bed it does have that kind of added cuteness effect to it i suppose um and if we actually jump on to google trends information we can see again as we come into the winter period it's a time of year where more and more people are buying dog beds move on to the next products we have these headlamps now the reason i wanted to feature these is i know they're pretty generic products but there's a genuine use case for these especially this time of year and there's so many different use cases as well so as somebody who stupidly has recently signed up to a triathlon um i have quite a busy lifestyle as well so it's inevitable this time of year i end up cycling and running in the dark and i don't want to carry a torch i don't want anything that's too heavy and annoying um and going to get in the way of what my focus is to complete the run or the cycle whatever it is so any kind of really sleek compact high-tech headlamp that is going to keep you safe be able to mean you can see where you're going um and it's going to allow people to exercise in the dark safely there's a like i said there's a genuine use case for that product and there's tons and tons of other products as well which fit this same niche of keeping people safe while set outdoors so it could be whilst you're hiking running cycling and commuting in one way or form you could be fishing camping whatever it is you're doing there's so many different applications to this it gives you so many different ideas of bringing it to market and marketing angles and again it's pretty self explanatory coming into the q4 things this makes another really popular gift and it's not just the sort of product that's only going to sell well up until christmas it's going to sell well into the new year as well as long as the nights are long um then this is a product and people are commuting people exercising before or after work um then this sort of products that is always going to sell in my opinion moving on to the next one then a portable mini self-propelled electric bike pump 3.7 million sales um is not to be ignored i should have got one with a video but basically it's like you charge it up it's rechargeable so lithium battery so super powerful um it lasts a long time and again it's just perfect it's a nice little gift it's not a cheap product as well um it's quite a compact and luxurious and expensive and heavy and well put together item um that feels quite expensive it's also like a nice price point as well and anybody you know who's into cycling it would make a really really nice gift and obviously because it has that kind of specific application when it comes to targeting on your social media platforms in your marketing there's a clear kind of target market that you can go after if we jump onto the google trends as well we can see that it kind of spikes or peaks sorry um in april may time and we're actually kind of towards the very bottom end but at this bottom end is when it starts coming back up again so this is the product to kind of get ready for now and it's going to be a great great seller over the course of the next six months moving on to this one of the finer products not the finer one just yet um before you leave the video thinking this is a cheap crappy product it is but coming into q4 it's the sort of cheap crappy product that people would buy friends or family members who have cats but don't really know what to get them it doesn't have to be this exact product it just just cat toys in general it's more of a niche recommendation than a specific product however i do believe there is a market for this um exact products and when it comes to advertising as well like content is super super easy because people love to watch animals having a nice time being stupid being silly and naturally they want to see their own animals do that same thing so that would beg the question in their minds where can i can i get this same toy so that i can have this same experience if we jump onto google trends as well we can see again it's the sort of time where more and more people are looking for cat toys as gift ideas people buy their own pets christmas gifts as well i said that like people who are crazy do that i do that for my dog i buy my dog christmas gifts even though he has no idea it's any different to any other day so it is the time of year where people are looking for these cheap silly products that aren't going to break the bank um but it's enough for them to open and have a bit of fun with on the special day and like i just mentioned people are looking for gift ideas for their dogs for the cats and they're also looking for gift ideas for their dogs so here's another just kind of stupid silly product idea um that they can watch their dog open they can set up um i just have a bit of fun and include the dog on the special day having fun and being silly that sort of thing it's a cheap product as well so it's not one that people are going to be worried about spending too much money they obviously don't want to spend too much on their dogs um definitely fits that kind of impulse buy range and i can confirm the kind of increase in demand very similar to cat toys as we can see october november december with a massive spike or peak i should say i'm in popularity in the December months that was it for the product ideas i think there was 10 plus different ideas there i hope you enjoyed the video before you leave if you've stayed with me this far then i have a gift for you and only you because you stayed this far so most people leave my videos after two or three minutes those are the people who jump from shiny thing to shiny thing and they're not serious about this business people who watch my videos all the way through i like to think are serious about this business about starting a real dropshipping business that is actually going to provide them with a life-changing income for the foreseeable if that is you and that is your goal then i have something that i want to show you so what i want you to do is below this video so i'll use this exist in one as an example come down into the video description and click this more button at the bottom here you'll see this so this is a secret link i've called it and if you click that link it's

UC3lp1Pk33sziERUwvmiNBqQ	EE210x S417 Poles and Zeroes of a Rational Laplace Transforms	This video has been released by Studio IIT Bombay under Creative Commons license.	[ "EE210", "EE210x", "EE210.2x", "Signals and Systems", "IIT Bombay", "IITB", "IITBombayX", "Professor Vikram Gadre", "MOOC Course", "Rational Laplace Transform" ]	2022-08-25T06:44:56	2024-03-04T14:15:52	842	VzCDatI9-lo	A warm welcome to the 17th session in the fourth module of signals and systems. In the previous session, we had looked at both rational and irrational systems and we again re-emphasized why rationality was an important virtue in the Laplace transform. Now we would like to understand more about rational systems and we have given a hint of what we would do towards the end of the previous session. Let us now do that. So let us consider as I said in general rational Laplace transform. So we have a numerator series and a denominator series. Now we will first make a simplification. We shall first reduce these to polynomials in S. So we will take an example. Suppose we have something like S inverse plus 2 S plus 1 divided by S to the power minus 2 plus S to the power minus 1 plus some constant, let us say 3 plus 2 S. We shall write this as S to the power minus 2 taken common from the denominator and S to the power minus 1 taken common from the numerator and then multiply by S. So we have 1 plus 2 S squared plus S divided by again multiply by S squared in the denominator. And now of course when you have powers of S like this you can adjust them either in the numerator or denominator. This will be S squared by S. Now this is indeed of the form a polynomial in S divided by a polynomial in S. So numerator polynomial divided by denominator polynomial. To be complete let us write down these two polynomials. The numerator polynomial is going to be S squared plus 2 S to the power 4 plus S cubed and the denominator polynomial is going to be S plus S squared plus 3 S cubed plus 2 S to the power 4 simple. Now let us look at what happens when we put each of these equal to 0. So let us put the denominator polynomial equal to 0 first. We get a set of roots for example in the example that we just discussed a few minutes ago. We are talking about this polynomial and we are saying put it equal to 0. So what would we have there? You would have S plus S squared plus 3 S cubed plus 2 S to the power 4 is equal to 0. So of course either S is 0 or the rest of it. Now of course we can in principle solve this. The question is what happens to this rational Laplace transform at these points where the denominator tends to 0? Of course when the denominator tends to 0 the entire function has an infinite magnitude. Let us sketch that situation. So remember this Laplace transform is a function of S. So you could think of it as lying upon the S plane. You have built something on the S plane. Let us look at the S plane as the base on which you construct the magnitude of this function. I am drawing a 3 dimensional or pseudo 3 dimensional plot now. So this is the S plane what you see here. This is the imaginary part of S and the real part of S. And on the vertical so to speak you are going to plot the magnitude of the Laplace transform. Now the magnitude will occur only on one side. It is always non-negative. So that is why I am saying that you could think of this whole structure as lying upon an S plane. You could think of the S plane as the base on which you are putting something because you do not have anything on the other side. In fact I would go to the extent of saying you can think of the magnitude as a function of S being a tent on the S plane. So the magnitude is like a tent on the S plane. And let us assume you have some place where the denominator goes to 0. Suppose it lies here. What would happen to this tent at that place? The tent would rise infinitely towards the sky at that place. You know you have a tent all over. Let me draw that tent notionally in blue everywhere else. And at that point the tent would seem to rise infinitely into the sky at this place. In contrast wherever you have a point where the numerator is equal to 0. Suppose there is a point here where the numerator is equal to 0. What would happen to the tent at that place? Let us show it notionally in blue again. The tent would seem to come and get held at that point. The tent would touch the ground at that point. So you see what I mean? There are places where the numerator is 0 where the tent touches the ground. It is as if you know you put a nail there to hold the tent. And there are places where the denominator is 0 and the tent is actually rising towards the sky there as if held up by a long stick you know to hold the tent up you need to do two things. You need to plug the tent down by nails or by something hard at certain places. And you need to hold the tent up with poles with long sticks. So that is what these are all about. These are the poles which hold up the tent. And these the places where the denominator or rather the numerator is 0 are the 0s which pin down the tent. So it is poles and 0s together which make a rational system function. If I know the poles and the 0s I know almost everything about the rational system function except for one little thing. Let me hint at what is still left with an example. So if we knew that such a tent or rather that such a rational system function or rational Laplace transform it has 1 0 at s equal to minus 1 and 2 poles 1 at s equal to minus 3 and 1 at s equal to minus 5. What is the Laplace transform? Laplace transform would take the form where we know up to this point s plus 1 all this is fine. What we do not know here is whether it is multiplied by a constant. So now you can again think of it in terms of the tent. You know where the tent is held up by poles and where the tent has been plugged to the ground with the 0s. What you do not know is how high the tent is in between. You can scale the tent up. You know you can plug it at the same places and you can hold it up at the same places. But then you can scale the tent up and down even with those poles and 0 locations. That scaling factor is not determinable by the poles and 0s. But otherwise the rational Laplace transform is completely characterized by its poles and 0s. Well that scaling factor would only scale everything by a constant. But what we will now see is that the poles and 0s are sufficient for us to obtain the inverse Laplace transform notionally. Notionally means except to within a constant. Once you later know the constant you can of course take care of it by multiplying by that constant. So we will now talk about inverting. Inverting a rational Laplace transform. Very simple. In fact you have done it before. You just need to put down the steps. Identify the poles, distinct poles. Make a partial fraction expansion. Now before you make a partial, now here I need to put in one more caveat, one more point that has to be considered. Before you make this partial fraction expansion you must ensure that the numerator degree is less than the denominator degree, less than. If it is equal to or greater you need to take a few terms common few terms outside. So if you have n of s, let us first write down the ratio of polynomialness. So the Laplace transform can be written numerator polynomial in s. Let us call it n of s divided by denominator polynomial in s. Let us call it ds. Now of course just to review ds equal to 0 gives the poles and ns equal to 0 gives the zeros. And it is this that we have identified for this keeping in mind possible repetitions. So when I say distinct poles point number 3, each distinct pole will now give a set of terms of the form some constant. Let us call it k 0 or you can even say k l divided by s plus alpha to the power l. So you know for example, if you have a pole at s equal to minus 2 and the pole occurs 3 times, then you would have 3 such terms k 1 divided by s plus 2 plus k 2 divided by s plus 2 the squared and plus k 3 divided by s plus 2 cubed. Now each of these terms can be inverted as per the region of convergence. What I mean by that is look at whether the region of convergence is to the right of that pole or to the left of that pole. If it is to the right of the pole, give it the corresponding right sided expression, right sided time domain function, time domain signal. And if it is to the left, give it the corresponding left sided expansion, left sided time domain signal. And of course, you know how to give the time domain signal, you can use it by successfully differentiating the Laplace transform 1 by s plus alpha. So we have dealt with this before, we know how to deal with terms like this. So everything fine except as I emphasized all this works provided the numerator degree is less than the denominator degree. Let me now come to that problem. Note that the numerator degree needs to be less than the denominator degree for this to be valid. If not you have n s by d s first do a long division. So you know n s long divided by d s and carry out the long division and bring a remainder and a quotient. The quotient is in s, let us call it q of s and the remainder is in s again r of s. That means you can write down n s by d s is q s plus r s by d s. Here degree r s is strictly less than the degree of d s and this is a polynomial in s. Now we have created a new problem, how do we invert this polynomial in s? The rest of it is okay. We will have to answer this question in the next session. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzCDatI9-lo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Yes, sir. How do you properly print out your full name? Ola Sukami, but then, you know, when you put the accent, if you hear my mom say it, it's Ola Sukami. Ola Sukami. Close enough. Nice, huh? Is there a significance to your first name? Oh, yeah. It means my wealth is coming. So my brother is my wealth is here and mine is my wealth is coming. What's your brother do? He's a medical student. Wow. Where does he go to school? UTSA. Okay. San Antonio. Okay, in San Antonio. So you moved from Nigeria to the United States when you were eight? Yes, sir. What did you think when you moved here? Can you remember? Man, coming here was a land of opportunities. My mom wanted us to have a better life here. So, you know, we came and shoo, I ain't getting back yet. Did you speak English at that point? Yeah, our primary language is English, but we have, our second name is Yoruba. So I'm Yoruba, and so my mom at home, she speaks Yoruba and English to us. Okay, so that was advantageous. You didn't have to necessarily learn the language. Learn English all over Vietnam. The Nigerian people who immigrate to the United States often end up in the Houston area. Why is that? Because Houston is like second Nigeria, man. It's like, it's hot, the traffic is crazy, and it's just, that's where everybody migrates, and it's an affordable place to live, you know. But it really is welcoming in that way, in that there are people who could help you assimilate very quickly, and it seems like people do really well once they go from Nigeria to the Houston area. Oh, yeah, for sure. Like I said, Houston is the second Nigeria, and you know, a lot of people move there and, you know, they have a great time. All right, now you weren't a football player to start with. No, I was not. How did you get involved in football? So when I got here, you know, I was a soccer player. I played, well, football in Nigeria, soccer. So I played soccer, came here, got to eat and got fat, you know, got a little chunky. I couldn't move like that no more. So my high school coaches, like, came up to my mom, or they was calling my mom trying to get me to play. She wasn't having none of that, and it was academics first, academics first, academics first. My uncle would eventually convince her to let me play, went out there, started playing and, you know, fell in love with it ever since. Okay, so what's a, what's a traditional meal you can throw at us for somebody who is of your bit to say? Man, I'm a big fan of Jaluf rice and beans. I crush that whenever I got to eat. So whenever I got to put weight on, Jaluf rice, beans, chicken, rice and stew, fufu, eba. I'm like all of them. But I got to lay off some of them just because like they put a lot of weight on me. All right, so you'd obviously laid off of them when you went after Russell Wilson at the end of the Seattle game. Because man, you look quick. Was that the best moment of your career so far? Oh man, for sure. That was my very first career sack during the regular season. Man, it felt great. Just a blessing to be out on the field and, you know, help the team win. What has it been like for you to live here in Nashville and for Titans fans to really come to know who you are? I mean, very quickly you have become a name player since moving here. Bet y'all ain't never seen me like you in Cowboy. I'll let you. Oh man, it's like I said, it's been amazing, man. I ain't gonna lie to you when I first was thinking about Nashville. I didn't think, you know, I would be in the position that I am here today. They created the opportunity for me. I came out here, you know, I did what I had to do. And, you know, it's love. Just getting a lot of love from the fans. And it's just different for me, man. I'm enjoying every part of it. Y'all already know. I don't ever got to say it. It's game day. Come on. So what's your goal for the rest of the season? Hey man, just keep stacking the wins. Keep improving every day and just, you know, keep getting better. What's the key to being a good pass rusher? What are you learning about that that's making a difference? After the finish. After the finish. Because Bayville says it every day, our day. After the finish.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZcZUshctP4", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Determine what type and kind of radical process is taking place. So what are we doing here? We have a radical, and we're making a different radical. So what type of reaction is that? That's a propagation step. And then, of course, if we do the, just like Billy was saying, we can further categorize that as a particular type of propagation step, which is the hydrogen abstraction. So let's just draw the mechanism of the hydrogen abstraction just to emphasize what's going on. I want to draw more, but it's all written out there. So this is a type of propagation, like we said, hydrogen. So there are the four different types of propagation steps, so addition to a 5-on hydrogen abstraction, halogen abstraction, or elimination that they want you to do, that I want you to do. Any questions on this one? Again, how do I know it's a propagation? Because we've got one radical here, go to one radical. So this is stuff we talked about a week ago or so.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ48BnnwCZ4", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Yes, you heard that correctly I said shrinking which is very likely going to push certain species towards extinction Scientists in British Columbia attribute the death of approximately one billion title creatures to a climate induced heat wave Ocean acidification and marine heat waves are killing off coral reefs at alarming rates And just last week the Gulf of Mexico was on fire As a result of an underwater pipeline bursting climate change is Destroying our planet and yes, it is anthropogenic it is being accelerated by human activity And just a hundred global corporations account for the overwhelming majority of greenhouse gas emissions And I really want to put this into perspective for people This is our only home Earth is the only habitable planet that human beings have access to we're not going to be able to terraform mars fast enough to save ourselves We're not going to terraform venus Before we terraform earth We're not going to be able to find a different planet in some distant solar system This is what we have if we lose this planet We lose everything It's over for humanity and a lot of other species So the time to act is long overdue But yet as all of the evidence is right in front of us as we see the impact of climate change in our own lives now You have fossil fuel funded ideologues on the right who are actually claiming you know what all of this that we're seeing It's not that big of a deal. In fact global warming is good actually because it saves lives This is what denis prager right wing propagandist said with a straight face on his radio show And um, let's take a look and see what he has to say because he actually does maintain that climate change global warming specifically is good Hey, denis great great observations your question. Are they serious? Um about tiny houses or men and the women's room or degrowth or depopulation I had a conversation with a guy this weekend an atheist who believes the world is overpopulated And I asked him that same question. Are you serious? Are you sincere? What is your level of commitment because if you're committed to degrowth and depopulation You need to off yourself to show me that you're truly committed and he laughed at me They just want everyone else to live by these standards and they themselves will fly in jet planes live in large houses and reproduce While their centralized command and control by intellectuals Continues to be a failure. Well, that's al gore. You've just described al gore with his And a lot of these leading environmentalists Flying in private jets using far more energy than anybody else. I happen not to care If there's one one piece I'd like you to read From the year 2021 it's Bjorn Lomborg's piece that just came out In the la times amazingly. No no usa today amazingly and how So many fewer people are dying because of climate than ever before Because the the great killer is cold not heat So global warming has actually been saving lives But the left doesn't care about saving lives They care about disrupting civilization Because of the deep boredom in their soul That comes from the religionless Lives that they were raised with That's what it is Give me purpose I was raised with none I'm sorry, but who listens to this? Dennis Prager nearly put himself to sleep with this dry partisan drivel And he's saying things just nonchalantly that are deeply deeply destructive. He's getting his viewers to think Oh, well this global warming thing I keep hearing about actually. It's good So understand how conservatives keep moving the goalpost at first they say climate change isn't real Then they say it's real, but you know, it's uh, it's not man-made then they say yeah, it's real and it's probably man-made But you know what it's good There's a reason why they keep moving the goalpost. It's because they're wrong and what we saw there Was not an argument All republicans Do is they try to what about is a everything right or they try to hypocrisy burn People who are actually concerned with climate change or real issues I mean listen to what the caller said he said he talked to an atheist who was concerned with overpopulation And he said that the atheist wasn't actually serious about overpopulation because he hadn't killed himself Is this someone who we're supposed to take seriously Dennis Prager didn't point out how idiotic that was no because Dennis Prager thinks that that's actually a really persuasive way to argue What's this you care about climate change? Oh, well, I see that you drive a car. I see that you ride in airplanes Gotcha, you participate in society. Therefore you can't critique society Again, it's not like individual decision-making is what's going to change Anything with regretted climate change when just a small handful of corporations are the ones who are driving this phenomenon But still the way that republicans think about this and and speak about this is incredibly incredibly dangerous and irresponsible And it's not because Dennis Prager actually believes that global warming is good because he would be a stupid person to believe that He is funded by the fossil fuel industry. Therefore his views have been corrupted By the fossil fuel industry If you accept millions of dollars from fossil fuel oligarchs and oil barons Then yeah, that might have a little bit of an influence on your opinions as it relates to climate change And then he adds in The left doesn't care about saving lives the person who thinks global warming is good says this The left doesn't care about saving lives. They care about disrupting society Because of the deep boredom in their soul and notice the irony here He talks about the boredom that the left feels as he's like almost asleep as he describes How global warming is good. What a fucking idiot And he claims that the reason why we're bored and we have boredom in our souls is because we live Religionless lives that we're raised with and to advocate for climate change and to want to basically disrupt society Is our way of getting some sense of purpose Okay Well The same is true for you except substitute disrupting society with getting money because You're literally parroting the talking points of people who fund your program So does the money give you purpose? I mean, I don't know what it is I don't need to actually address motives to me. That's a non sequitur here The issue is that global warming is not good. Actually global warming is going to kill everyone But old fucks like danis prager He's not going to be around to see the worst of what climate change has to offer His grandchildren will if he has any all of the children who he's trying to indoctrinate Now well, and they'll realize once it's probably too late that everything that he's saying is a lie But this is deeply harmful To say that this destructive thing that we're desperately fighting against to save the species and many species not just humans is good Is so beyond the pale that nobody should take this lunatic seriously You can tell he doesn't even take himself seriously because he almost put himself to sleep there I did I did I did recovery mode my brain I did Recovery mode my brain I did	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZZUZi7O398", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

V tem videu smo vse tega pravda izgleda, kako je zelo prečo izgleda ebay in kako je izgleda, pomeča, ne zelo se počevati, ki so nekaj dobro izgleda. Zelo, da smo vse zelo zelo izgleda, ki so nekaj dobro izgleda, kako se nekaj dobro izgleda, connecting accounts to extend our business to grow to have more products, more energetic and to have the opportunity to duplicate our account and get more sales on this way. But how do do it right, how do do it without getting suspended or without fall on a wrong account, this is what I will show you in this video, I am your opposing and I'm only what's se for the DS. Zdaj je v tem, da je to, da se praviti, veliko je jaz, ki je veliko zelo, in ne, da je to, da se neče, ki je veliko zelo, kot ne bo, kot se neče, da se neče, ki je veliko zelo, kot ne bo. Zelo, da se je več v poživati, da se da neče, v srečnici, da me ne može vstakliti, se neče, da se neče, This is actually the most important thing and the thing which is the hardest to check if the other guy is really a trustful or not. The second thing which I want to check is the feedbacks. The feedbacks of the account. This is something very very basic but I still want to cover it on this video. I will check if the account has more than 99% of positive feedbacks. It's not critical if it's not 100% of positive kraj v pozitivnih posledkovoj. Soboj ga bi uvajde govreveno� zbojje tudi, ne kako pa beseš posledko in naredimo tudi, je tudi bi pa tukaj prezokno posledko, bo na 99 % in na 98 % jaz hodn�� posledko, je se selj, a ne bo posledko 100 %. Sve možemo posledko posledko, v bojeg tudi v pravdu zato, ki pa kaj bolj dobro v povedli, so boj svisno v terzpetoviti tudi in zelo bi zašlo, in zato si se zrste in skupanje, da je bilo zrste, in kako pa zrste posledljilo za toga zrstapitka. Zdaj pa se bilo da so zrste in bila, in se začel 58 gradi, bo zrste se začel dogožel, bo stabil ni zrstapitka. Not only for current situations we will also check what is the next evaluation of ebay, we can see it on the seller dashboard, what went on and what is the percentage of the defects and the returns right now. So then we know that the account will not go to below standard on the next month. Thing number 4, I will go to cases and the returns right now and I will check how the seller ker, iz raznega, veliko zvala, veliko kase in veliko zvratenje, kaj je odprinit za vrstvenosti, ne bi ste vseh, ker je to veliko boh. To je vseh, da je izgleda. Vseh, da se pričeš, da se reveni raznega. na začionku, ker to priče, n занelo ide tako dolg Without any work in nobo in to priče zvanja nazegri delati razlog. Cos pa tukaj zame videli, da tega revenih toga so veliko fina. Tih malo po ved noro je tudi nazegra, enables nekaz v povedenih razloga, ne razgreda od razloga nazegra, bilber nešto tu zvidno, da ležite je vstonetne odglede... If someone put the account on a vacation, this is not very good for us. We prefer to buy account which works for a long period of time never use this account. If this situation is not good you need to decrease the price a bit and ask the seller for discount for this account. in doesn't want to pay much for account like this, so you can request a discount. So actually accounts like this, it's still possible to buy them but you should get a discount for accounts that didn't work in the last period of time. The thing number, I think we are now on seven. So we want to check that this account didn't have any connected other accounts. In celo tako ne bili že bolo zelo pošli zame navjenje in ještje. Tako ki se splal, da so bili neko zelo pošli in naslij na vsega izgah. Vse izgah nezalšajo vse, ki brimo zelo pošli. Se ne bo, da ne zaživajo, da celo zelo na vse drugim zelo pošli. Peto dropsim, ki se bilo malo ono, in izgledaj se na akumulati, da se bilo poživati. Vrste vsem vse, da poživam, da bilo početniki izgledaj početniki, da ne sem bilo in nekaj uvrženih akumulati. Vse, da imem mu početniki izgledaj početniki, da je vse zelo vrstvar, da sem bilo način, da ne sem bilo početniki. that the pipeline also didn't have, just as the seller about it. Usually when you check the flow thing which I said the seller is trustful, so they will tell the truth. I hope that you like this video. I really wish you good luck with purchasing more and more accounts, because in the beginning it's harder, but then it becomes easier and easier and then you can just grow and grow and grow like other clients which we have that have more than 100 accounts ...or zelo šeždje šeljga account.

Qiang was mentored by Yung-Hsiang Lu, professor of electrical and computer engineering. Qiang headed a team of undergraduate researchers who created a competition for participants to design a drone system to actively track several ground robots in a major city. Prof. Lu said that it was an "inspiring experience" as a mentor to learn from first-time undergraduate researchers, and that Qiang grew in leadership and communication skills during the project.

I joined this undergraduate research project by registering for the vertically integrated project course. There are multiple professors including Dr. Lu along with other graduate students as mentors for our research project. They usually provide us with access to the online resources like existing work or papers and also talk to us personally to give us their personal experiences and help us solve the team management problems. Advising first time undergraduate students has many benefits. First they look at things differently also they come out very different ideas how to solve problems. For Hongjiao I think over the last year he has demonstrated exceptional leadership skills communication skills and really look at things from a very different angle. In fact I suggested a solution and a few weeks later he told me I was wrong and my solution didn't really work so that was a very inspiring experience learning from first time undergraduate researchers. I would definitely recommend students to do an undergraduate research project because it's so different from classic classroom settings and more of like internship experiences you get the chance to work on practical problems earlier than others in the academic setting. This undergraduate research project helps me find my interest in autonomous vehicles and motivates me to further study in this area in my future master degree.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz9LzJlKXUI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC4-n8uLQ4Xtmgw_OHx2GJFA	EMI Challenges to EMI Implementation #1	Topics: Challenges to EMI Implementation This video will discuss common challenges that come with teaching a course in English. It was produced at Ohio University for the English as a Medium of Instruction online course. This course is part of the AE E-Teacher Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered by FHI 360.	null	2020-04-27T20:18:06	2024-02-05T16:27:06	328	vzeoS-dd66Q	Welcome to our video lecture on challenges to EMI implementation. While many professors and students think EMI has many benefits, they also have concerns. And one main concern is the costs that are associated with implementation. EMI is expensive. Should the money be used for different initiative? Another concern is how EMI affects local language. Will students be able to learn academically in their native language once they become so proficient in English? Will they lose their language and start to prefer English instead? The main costs for EMI instruction come from increased costs from professors teaching these courses, in terms of per course increases, and also additional time to prepare for the courses, and increased costs for materials and textbooks. EMI lecturers also wonder how much of the native language they can use in an EMI class. And this is an important point. We don't want students to stop developing in their native language. We want them to become bilingual and highly proficient in both languages. So remember that EMI can include the native language, and that it is recommended to create a multilingual, not a monolingual classroom, when teaching in EMI. In this course, we will explore different ways to help support students as they learn in English, but continue to utilize their native language as well. A third point can be both a challenge and a strength. This is that EMI is very flexible and situation specific. In other words, EMI can be implemented in different ways in different courses, with different instructors and with different students. This is a strength because the flexibility of EMI allows for more opportunities for success for your students. But it can also be challenging since there is no one right way to teach an EMI course, and it can be hard to make decisions, given the large number of options. For that reason, this course will outline basic principles that lead to EMI course success. And you as a course developer or instructor can create the types of courses that best fit your teaching situation. Another thing to discuss is some of the challenges to EMI implementation. Stop the video and think to yourself, what do you think some major challenges are? Write down at least five challenges. Then play the video again and see how your list compares with mine. Okay, I'm going to discuss ten challenges. One big one is in who is teaching the EMI courses. Lectures need to possess both content knowledge and knowledge on how to support students as they learn English. This includes how to clarify meaning and enhance comprehension in English. But for many instructors, the biggest challenge isn't the English itself, but rather getting used to the new teaching style and methods that need to be used with the EMI courses. As instructors, you can have strong English but still not be successful in an EMI course because the teaching method is not interesting for students and can be hard for them to understand. Another instructor might not have perfect English, but is very successful in their EMI course because they use interactive and student-centered teaching methods. So the EMI instructor is the first consideration in our challenges. Another challenge is that students are often not sufficiently prepared. They may have diverse English proficiency levels with some not having sufficient English to study content and others having a very high English, even maybe higher proficiency than the instructor. Students also might not know how to learn in another language, or they might be shy about speaking English in class. They may not have the critical thinking and communication skills for EMI courses. It can be hard to help students stay motivated in these circumstances. A third challenge is that effective material strategies and assessment tools need to be found or created. This means it takes time for the lecturer to collect or make all of these materials, or if an international quality English textbook is used, these can be expensive for either the students or the university, or the level of the English in the textbook may be too high for EMI students. A fourth challenge is that it can be harder for students to have to learn the content in a non-native language, particularly concepts that require deep learning. This also takes considerably more of the students' time. Many students in EMI courses have to go home after the class and look up the topics and teach themselves often in their native language. Related to this is the fifth challenge, which is assessment in EMI. Some lecturers are concerned that students fail not because they don't understand the content, but because they don't understand the English.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzeoS-dd66Q", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Ye would be dupes and victims, and ye are. Is it enough? Or must I, while a thrill lives in your sapient bosoms, cheat you still? TAMASMUR, LALA RUK, THE VAILD PROPHET OF CORISON The fire, the canoe, and the spring, near which dear Slayer commenced his retreat, would have stood in the angles of a triangle of tolerably equal sides. The distance from the fire to the boat was a little less than the distance from the fire to the spring, while the distance from the spring to the boat was about equal to that between the two points first named. This, however, was in straight lines a means of escape to which the fugitives could not resort. They were obliged to have recourse to a detour in order to get the cover of the bushes, and to follow the curvature of the beach. Under these disadvantages, then, the hunter commenced his retreat. Disadvantages that he felt to be so much the greater from his knowledge of the habits of all Indians, who rarely fail in cases of sudden alarms, more especially when in the midst of cover, immediately to throw out flankers with a view to meet their foes at all points, and if possible to churn their rear. That some such course was now adopted he believed from the tramp of feet, which not only came up the ascent as related, but were also heard under the first impulse diverging not only towards the hill in the rear, but towards the extremity of the point, in a direction opposite to that he was about to take himself. Promptitude consequently became a matter of the last importance, as the parties might meet on the strand before the fugitive could reach the canoe. Notwithstanding the pressing nature of the emergency, dear Slayer hesitated a single instant ere he plunged into the bushes that lined the shore. His feelings had been awakened by the whole scene, and a sternness of purpose had come over him to which he was ordinarily a stranger. Four dark figures loomed on the ridge, drawn against the brightness of the fire, and an enemy might have been sacrificed at a glance. The Indians had paused to gaze into the gloom in search of the screeching hag, and with many a man less given to reflection than the hunter, the death of one of them would have been certain. Luckily he was more prudent. Although the rifle dropped a little towards the foremost of his pursuers, he did not aim or fire, but disappeared in the cover. To gain the beach and to follow it round to the place where Chingachuk was already in the canoe with hisst, anxiously waiting his appearance, occupied but a moment. Laying his rifle in the bottom of the canoe, dear Slayer stooped to give the latter a vigorous shove from the shore when a powerful Indian leaped through the bushes, a lighting like a panther on his back. Everything was now suspended by a hair, a false step ruining all. With a generosity that would have rendered a Roman illustrious throughout all time, but which in the career of one so simple and humble would have been forever lost to the world but for this unpretending legend. Dear Slayer threw all his force into a desperate effort, shoved the canoe off with a power that set it a hundred feet from the shore, as it might be in an instant, and fell forward into the lake himself, face downward, his assailant necessarily following him. Although the water was deep within a few yards of the beach, it was not more than breast high as close in as the spot where the two combatants fell. Still, this was quite sufficient to destroy one who had sunk under the great disadvantages in which Dear Slayer was placed. His hands were free, however, and the savage was compelled to relinquish his hug, to keep his own face above the surface. For half a minute there was a desperate struggle like the floundering of an alligator that has just seized some powerful prey, and then both stood erect, grasping each other's arms in order to prevent the use of the deadly knife in the darkness. What might have been the issue of this severe personal struggle cannot be known, for half a dozen savages came leaping into the water to the aid of their friend, and Dear Slayer yielded himself a prisoner with a dignity that was as remarkable as his self-devotion. To quit the lake and lead their new captive to the fire occupied the Indians but another minute. So much engaged were they all with the struggle and its consequences, that the canoe was unseen, though it still lay so near the shore as to render every syllable that was uttered perfectly intelligible to the Delaware and his betrothed. And the whole party left the spot, some continuing the pursuit after his along the beach, though most proceeded to the light. Here, Dear Slayer's antagonist so far recovered his breath and his recollection, for he had been throttled nearly to strangulation as to relate the manner in which the girl had got off. It was now too late to assail the other fugitives, for no sooner was his friend led into the bushes than the Delaware placed his paddle into the water, and the light canoe glided noiselessly away, holding its course towards the center of the lake until safe from shot, after which it sought the ark. When Dear Slayer reached the fire, he found himself surrounded by no less than eight grim savages, among whom was his old acquaintance Rivenoak. As soon as the latter caught a glimpse of the captive's countenance, he spoke apart to his companions, and a low but general exclamation of pleasure and surprise escaped them. They knew that the conqueror of their late friend, he who had fallen on the opposite side of the lake, was in their hands, and subject to their mercy or vengeance. There was no little admiration mingled in the ferocious looks that were thrown on the prisoner. An admiration that was as much excited by his present composure as by his past deeds. This scene may be said to have been the commencement of the great and terrible reputation that Dear Slayer, or Hawkeye, as he was afterwards called, enjoyed among all the tribes of New York and Canada. A reputation that was certainly more limited in its territorial and numerical extent than those which are possessed in civilized life, but which was compensated for what it wanted in these particulars, perhaps, by its greater justice and the total absence of mystification and management. The arms of Dear Slayer were not pinioned, and he was left the free use of his hands, his knife having been first removed. The only precaution that was taken to secure his person was untiring watchfulness, and a strong rope of bark that passed from ankle to ankle, not so much to prevent his walking as to place an obstacle in the way of his attempting to escape by any sudden leap. Even this extra provision against flight was not made until the captive had been brought to the light, and his character ascertained. It was, in fact, a compliment to his prowess, and he felt proud of the distinction. That he might be bound when the warriors slept, he thought probable, but to be bound in the moment of capture showed that he was already, and thus early, attaining a name. While the young Indians were fastening the rope, he wondered if Chingachuk would have been treated in the same manner, had he too fallen into the hands of the enemy. Nor did the reputation of the young paleface rest altogether on his success in the previous combat, or in his discriminating and cool manner of managing the late negotiation, for it had received a great accession by the occurrences of the night. Ignorant of the movements of the ark, and of the accident that had brought their fire into view, the Iroquois attributed the discovery of their new camp to the vigilance of so shrewd a foe. The manner in which he ventured upon the point, the abstraction or escape of his, and most of all the self-devotion of the prisoner, united to the readiness with which he had sent the canoe adrift, were so many important links in the chain of facts on which his growing fame was founded. Many of these circumstances had been seen, some had been explained, and all were understood. While this admiration and these honors were so unreservedly bestowed on dear Slayer, he did not escape some of the penalties of his situation. He was permitted to seat himself on the end of a log near the fire in order to dry his clothes, his late adversary remaining opposite, now holding articles of his own scanty vestments to the heat, and now feeling his throat, on which the marks of his enemy's fingers were still quite visible. The rest of the warriors consulted together near at hand, all those who had been out having returned to report that no signs of any other prowlers near the camp were to be found. In this state of things, the old woman, whose name was Shebear, in plain English, approached Dear Slayer, with her fists clenched and her eyes flashing fire. Hitherto she had been occupied with screaming, an employment at which she had played her part with no small degree of success. But having succeeded in effectually alarming all within reach of a pair of lungs that had been strengthened by long practice, she next turned her attention to the injuries her own person had sustained in the struggle. These were a no-manner material, though they were of a nature to arouse all the fury of a woman who had long ceased to attract by means of the gentler qualities, and who was much disposed to revenge the hardships she had so long endured as the neglected wife and mother of savages, on all who came within her power. If Dear Slayer had not permanently injured her, he had temporarily caused her to suffer, and she was not a person to overlook a wrong of this nature, on account of its motive. Skunk of the pale faces commenced this exasperated and semi-poetic fury, shaking her fist under the nose of the impassable hunter. You are not even a woman. Your friends, the Delaware's, are only women, and you are their sheep. Your own people will not own you, and no tribe of red men would have you in their wigwams. You skulk among pedicoded warriors. You slay our brave friend who has left us? No, his great soul scorned to fight you, and left his body rather than have the shame of slaying you. But the blood that you spilt when the spirit was not looking on has not sunk into the ground. It must be buried in your groans. What music do I hear? Those are not the wailings of a red man. No red warrior groans so much like a hog. They come from a pale-faced throat, a Yankee's bosom, and sound as pleasant as girls singing. Dog, skunk, woodchuck, mink, hedgehog, pig, toad, spider, Yankee! Here the old woman, having expended her breath and exhausted her epithets, was feigned to pause a moment. Though both her fists were shaken in the prisoner's face, and the whole of her wrinkled countenance was filled with fierce resentment. Dear Slayer looked upon these impotent attempts to arouse him as indifferently as a gentleman in our own state of society regards the vituperative terms of a blaggard, the one-party feeling that the tongue of an old woman could never injure a warrior, and the other knowing that mendacity and vulgarity can only permanently affect those who resort to their use. But he was spared any further attack at present by the interposition of Riven oak, who shoved aside the hag, bidding her quit the spot, and prepared to take his seat at the side of his prisoner. The old woman withdrew, but the hunter well understood that he was to be the subject of all her means of annoyance, if not a positive injury, so long as he remained in the power of his enemies, for nothing rankles so deeply as the consciousness that an attempt to irritate has been met by contempt, a feeling that is usually the most passive of any that is harbored in the human breast. Riven oak quietly took the seat we have mentioned, and after a short pause he commenced a dialogue which we translate as usual for the benefit of those readers who have not studied the North American languages. My pale-faced friend is very welcome, said the Indian with a familiar nod, and a smile so covert that it required all dear slayer's vigilance to detect, and not a little of his philosophy to detect unmoved. He is welcome. The Hurons keep a hot fire to dry the white man's clothes by. I thank you Huron, or Mingo, as I most like to call you, return the other. I thank you for the welcome, and I thank you for the fire. Each is good in its way, and the last is very good, when one has been in a spring as cold as the glimmer glass. Even Huron warmth may be pleasant, at such a time, to a man with a Delaware heart. The pale-face, but my brother has a name, so great a warrior would not have lived without a name? Mingo, said the hunter, a little of the weakness of human nature exhibiting itself in the glance of his eye, and the color on his cheek. Mingo, your brave called me Hawkeye, I suppose on account of a quick and certain aim, when he was lying with his head in my lap before his spirit started for the happy hunting grounds. It is a good name. The hawk is sure of his blow. Hawkeye is not a woman. Why does he live with the Delaware's? I understand you, Mingo, but we look on all that as a circumvention of some of your subtle devils, and deny the charge. Providence placed me among the Delaware's young, and, baiting what Christian usages demand of my color and gifts, I hope to live and die in their tribe. Still I do not mean to throw away altogether my native rights, and shall strive to do a pale face's duty in Redskin society. Good. A Huron is a Redskin as well as a Delaware. Hawkeye is more of a Huron than of a woman. I suppose you know, Mingo, your own meaning. If you don't, I make no question to his well known to Satan. But if you wish to get anything out of me, speak plainer, for bargains cannot be made blindfolded, or tongue-tied. Good. Hawkeye has not a forked tongue, and he likes to say what he thinks. He is an acquaintance of the muskrat. This was the name by which all the Indians designated hotter. And has lived in his wigwam. But he is not a friend. He wants no scalps like a miserable Indian, but fights like a stout-hearted pale face. The muskrat is neither white nor red. Neither a beast nor a fish. He is a water snake, sometimes in the spring and sometimes on the land. He looks for scalps like an outcast. Hawkeye can go back and tell him how he has outwitted the Hurons, how he has escaped. And when his eyes are in a fog when he can't see as far as from his cabin to the shore, then Hawkeye can open the door for the Hurons. And how would the plunder be divided, why Hawkeye will carry away the most, and the Hurons will take what he may choose to leave behind him. The scalps can go to Canada, for a pale face has no satisfaction in them. Well, well, Ribbon Oak. For so I hear him term you, this is plain English enough, though spoken in Iroquois. I understand all you mean now, and must say it outdevels even mingo-devel-tree. No doubt would be easy enough to go back and tell the muskrat that I had got away from you, and gained some credit too by the X-Blight. Good. That is what I want the pale face to do. Yes, yes. That's plain enough. I know what you want me to do without more words. When inside the house and eating the muskrat's bread and laughing and talking with his pretty darters, I might put his eyes into so thick a fog that he couldn't even see the door much less the land. Good. Hawkeye should have been born a Huron. His blood is not more than half white. There you're out, Huron. Yes, there you're as much out as if you mistook a wolf for a catamount. I'm white in blood, heart, nature, and gifts, though a little red skin in felons and habits. But when old Hutter's eyes are well befogged and his pretty darters perhaps in a deep sleep, and hurry, Harry, the great pine as you Indians term him, is dreaming of anything but mischief, and all suppose Hawkeye is acting as a faithful sentinel. All I have to do is set a torch somewhere in sight for a signal, open the door, and let in the Hurons, to knock them all on the head. Surely my brother is mistaken. He cannot be white. He is worthy to be a great chief among the Hurons. That is true enough, I dares to say, if he could do all this. Now, Hawkeye, Huron, and for once hear a few honest words from the mouth of a plain man. I am Christian born, and them that come of such a stock, and that listen to the words that were spoken to their fathers, and will be spoken to their children, until arth and all it holds perishes, can be and are lawful. But circumventions, and deceit, and treachery among friends, are fit only for the pale-faced devils. I know that there are white men enough to give you this wrong idea of our nature. But such be untrue to their blood and gifts, and ought to be, if they are not, outcasts and vagabonds. No upright pale-face could do what you wish, and to be as plain with you as I wish to be, in my judgment no upright Delaware either. With a mingo it may be different. The Huron listened to this rebuke with obvious disgust. But he had his ends in view, and was too wily to lose all chance of effecting them by a precipitate of owl of resentment. Going to smile he seemed to listen eagerly, and he then pondered on what he had heard. Does Hawkeye love the muskrat he abruptly demanded, or does he love his daughters? Neither, mingo, old Tom is not a man to gain my love, and as for the daughters they are comely enough to gain the liking of any young man. But there is reason again any very great love for either, had he is a good soul, but nature has laid a heavy hand on her mind, poor thing. And the Wild Rose, exclaimed the Huron, for the fame of Judith's beauty had spread among those who could travel the wilderness as well as the highway by means of old eagles' nests, rocks and riven trees, known to them by report and tradition, as well as among the white borderers. And the Wild Rose, is she not sweet enough to be put in the bosom of my brother? Dear Slayer had far too much of the innate gentleman to insinuate ought against the fair fame of who, by nature and position, was so helpless, and as he did not choose to utter and untruth he preferred being silent. The Huron mistook the motive and supposed the disappointed affection lay at the bottom of his reserve. Still bent on corrupting or bribing his captive, in order to obtain the possession of the treasures with which his imagination filled the castle, he persevered in his attack. Hawkeye is talking with a friend, he continued. He knows that Rivenoke is a man of his word, for they have traded together, and trade opens the soul. My friend has come here on account of a little string held by a girl that can pull the whole body of the sternest warrior? You are nearer the truth now Huron than you've been before, since we began to talk. This is true, but one end of that string was not fast to my heart, nor did the Wild Rose hold the other. This is wonderful. Does my brother love in his head and not in his heart? And can the feeble mind pull so hard against so stout a warrior? There it is again, sometimes right and sometimes wrong. The string you mean is fast to the heart of a great Delaware, one of Mohican stock, in fact, living among the Delaware since the dispersion of his own people, and of the family of Unkas, Chingachuk by name, or great serpent. He has come here, led by the string, and I follow to rather come afore, for I got here first, pulled by nothing stronger than friendship, which is strong enough for such as are not niggardly of their feelings, and are willing to live a little for their fellow creatures, as well as for themselves. But a string has two ends, one is fast to the mind of a Mohican, and the other? Why the other was here close to the fire half an hour since? Watawa held it in her hand, if she didn't hold it to her heart. I understand what you mean, my brother, returned the Indian gravely for the first time catching a direct clue to the adventures of the evening. The great serpent, being strongest, pulled the hardest, and hissed was forced to leave us. I don't think there was much pulling about it, answered the other, laughing, always in a silent manner with as much heartiness as if he were not a captive, and in danger of torture or death. I don't think there was much pulling about it. No, I don't. Lord help you, Huron. He likes the gal, and the gal likes him, and it surpassed Huron circumventions to keep the two people apart, where there was so strong a feeling to bring them together. And Hawkeye and Chingochuk came into our camp on this errand only? That's a question that'll answer itself, mingle. Yes, if a question could talk it would answer itself, to your perfect satisfaction. For what else should we come? And yet it isn't exactly so neither, for we didn't come into your camp at all, but only as far as that pine there that you see on the other side of the ridge, where we stood watching your movements, and conduct, as long as we liked. When we were ready the serpent gave his signal, and then all went just as it should, down to the moment when Yonder Vagabond leaped upon my back. Sarton, we come for that, and for no other purpose, and we got what we come for. There's no use in pretending otherwise. Hist is off with a man who's the next thing to her husband, and come what will to me, that's one good thing determined. What sign or signal told the young maiden that her lover was an eye? asked the Huron with more curiosity than it was usual for him to betray. And seemed to enjoy the success of the exploit, with as much glee as if he had not been its victim. Your squirrels are great Gatabots, Mingo, he cried, still laughing. Yes, they're certainly great Gatabots. When other folks' squirrels are at home and asleep, yarn keep in motion among the trees, and cheer up and sing in a way that even a Delaware gal can understand their music. Well, there's four-legged squirrels, and there's two-legged squirrels. And give me the last, when there's a good tight string between two hearts. If one brings him together, Tether tells when to pull hardest. The Huron looked vexed, though he succeeded in suppressing any violent exhibition of resentment. He now quoted his prisoner, and joining the rest of the warriors, he communicated the substance of what he had learned. As in his own case, admiration was mingled with anger at the boldness and success of their enemies. Three or four of them ascended the little eclivity and gazed at the tree where it was understood the adventurers had posted themselves, and one even descended to it and examined for footprints around its roots in order to make sure that the statement was true. The result confirmed the story of the captive, and they all returned to the fire with increased wonder and respect. The messenger who had arrived with some communication from the party above, while the two adventurers were watching the camp, was now dispatched with some answer, and doubtless bore with him the intelligence of all that had happened. Down to this moment the young Indian who had been seen walking in company with HIST, and another female, had made no advances to any communication with Deerslayer. He had held himself aloof from his friends, even, passing near the bevy of younger women who were clustering together, apart as usual, and conversed in low tones on the subject of the escape of their late companion. Perhaps it would be true to say that these last were pleased as well as vexed at what had just occurred. Their female sympathies were with the lovers, while their pride was bound up in the success of their own tribe. It is possible, too, that the superior personal advantages of HIST rendered her dangerous to some of the younger part of the group, and they were not sorry to find she was no longer in the way of their own ascendancy. On the whole, however, the better feeling was most prevalent. For neither the wild condition in which they lived, the clannish prejudices of tribes nor their hard fortunes as Indian women, could entirely conquer the inextinguishable leaning of their sex to the affections. One of the girls even laughed at the disconsolate look of the swain who might fancy himself deserted, a circumstance that seemed suddenly to arouse his energies, and induce him to move towards the log on which the prisoner was still seated, drying his clothes. This is Catamount, said the Indian, striking his hand, boastfully on his naked breast, as he uttered the words in a manner to show how much weight he expected them to carry. This is Hawkeye quietly returned, dear slayer, adopting the name by which he knew he would be known in future, among all the tribes of the Iroquois. My sight is keen. Is my brother's leap long? From here to the Delaware villages. Hawkeye has stolen my wife. He must bring her back, or his scalp will hang on a pole and dry in my wigwam. Hawkeye has stolen nothing hereon. He doesn't come of a thieving breed, nor has he thieving gifts. Your wife, as you call Watawa, will never be the wife of any red skin of the Canada's. Her mind is in the cabin of a Delaware, and her body has gone to find it. The Catamount is active, I know, but its legs can't keep pace with a woman's wishes. The serpent of the Delaware's is a dog. He is a poor bull trout that keeps in the water. He is afraid to stand on the hard earth, like a brave Indian. Well, well, Huron, that's pretty impudent, considering it's not an hour since the serpent stood within a hundred feet of you, and would have tried the toughness of your skin with a rifle bullet, when I pointed you out to him, hadn't I laid the weight of a little judgment on his hand? You may take in timorsome gals and the settlements, with your Catamount wine, but the ears of a man can tell truth from untruth. Hist laughs at him. She sees he is lame, and a poor hunter, and has never been on a war-path. She will take a man for a husband, and not a fish. How do you know that, Catamount? How do you know that, returned dear Slayer, laughing? She has gone into the lake you see, and maybe she prefers a trout to a mongrel cat, as for war-paths, neither the serpent nor I have much experience we are ready to own. But if you don't call this one, you must tarm it what the gals and the settlements tarm it, the high road to matrimony. Take my advice, Catamount, and search for a wife among the Huron women. You'll never get one with a willing mind from among the Delaware's. Catamount's hand felt for his tomahawk, and when the fingers reached the handle they worked convulsively as if their owner hesitated between policy and resentment. At this critical moment Rivenoak approached, and by a gesture of authority induced the young man to retire, assuming his former position himself on the log at the side of dear Slayer. Here he continued silent for a little time, maintaining the grave reserve of an Indian chief. Hawkeye is right, the Iroquois at length began. His sight is so strong that he can see truth in a dark night, and our eyes have been blinded. He is an owl, darkness hiding nothing from him. He ought not to strike his friends. He is right. I am glad you think so, Mingo, returned the other. For a traitor in my judgment is worse than a coward. I care as little for the muskrat as one pale face ought to care for another, but I care too much for him to ambush him in the way you wished. In short, according to my IDs, any circumventions, except open war circumventions, again both law and what we whites call gospel, too. My pale face brother is right. He is no Indian to forget his manatee and his color. The Hurons know that they have a great warrior for their prisoner, and they will treat him as one. If he is to be tortured, his torments shall be such as no common man can bear. If he is to be treated as a friend, it will be the friendship of chiefs. As the Huron uttered this extraordinary assurance of consideration, his eye furtively glanced at the countenance of his listener, in order to discover how he stood the compliment, though his gravity and apparent sincerity would have prevented any man but one practiced in artifices from detecting his motives. Dear Slayer belonged to the class of the unsuspicious, and acquainted with the Indian notions of what constitutes respect, in matters connected with the treatment of captives, he felt his blood chill at the announcement, even while he maintained an aspect so steeled that his quick-sighted enemy could discover in it no signs of weakness. God has put me in your hands, Huron, the captive at length answered, and I suppose you will act your will on me. I shall not boast of what I can do under torment, for I've never been tried, and no man can say till he has been. But I'll do my endeavors not to disgrace the people among whom I got my training. However, I wish you now to bear witness that I am altogether of white blood, in a natural way of white gifts, too. So, should I be overcome and forget myself, I hope you'll lay the fault where it properly belongs, and in no manner put it on the Delaware's, or their allies and friends the Mohicans. We're all created with more or less weakness, and I'm afeared it's a palefaces to give in under great bodily torment when a red skin will sing his songs and boast of his deeds in the very teeth of his foes. We shall see. Hawkeye has a good countenance, and he is tough. But why should he be tormented when the Hurons love him? He is not born their enemy, and the death of one warrior will not cast a cloud between them forever. So much the better, Huron, so much the better. Still, I don't wish to owe anything to a mistake about each other's meaning. It is so much the better that you bear no malice for the loss of a warrior who fell in war, and yet it is untrue that there is no enmity. Lawful enmity, I mean. A tweeness. So far as I have red skin feelings at all, I've Delaware feelings, and I leave you to judge for yourself how far they are likely to be friendly to the mingos. Dear Slayer ceased for a sort of specter stood before him that put a stop to his words, and indeed caused him for a moment to doubt the fidelity of his boasted vision. Hetty Hutter was standing at the side of the fire as quietly as if she belonged to the tribe. As the hunter and the Indian sat watching the emotions that were betrayed in each other's countenance, the girl had approached unnoticed, doubtless ascending from the beach on the southern side of the point, or that next to the spot where the ark had anchored, and had advanced to the fire with the fearlessness that belonged to her simplicity, and which was certainly justified by the treatment formally received from the Indians. As soon as Rivenoch perceived the girl, she was recognized, and calling to two or three of the younger warriors, the chief sent them out to reconnoiter, lest her appearance should be the forerunner of another attack. He then motioned to Hetty to draw near. I hope your visit is a sign that the serpent and his star in safety, Hetty, said Dear Slayer, as soon as the girl had complied with the Huron's request. I don't think you'd come ashore again on the errand that brought you here afore. Judith told me to come this time, Dear Slayer. Hetty implied, she paddled me ashore herself in a canoe as soon as the serpent had shown her hisst and told his story. How handsome hisst is tonight, Dear Slayer, and how much happier she looks than when she was with the Huron's. That's nature, gal. Yes, that may be set down as human nature. She's with her betrothed, and no longer fears a mingo husband. In my judgment, Judith herself would lose most of her beauty if she thought she was to bestow it all on a mingo. Advent is a great fortifier of good looks, and I'll warrant you hisst is contented enough. Now she is out of the hands of these miscreants, and with her chosen warrior. Did you say that Judith told you to come ashore? Why should your sister do that? She bid me to come to see you, and to try and persuade the savages to take more elephants to let you off. But I've brought the Bible with me. That will do more than all the elephants in Father's chest. And your father, good little Hetty, and hurry, did they know of your armed? Not they. Both are asleep, and Judith and the serpent thought at best they should not be woke, lest they might want to come again after scalps, when hisst had told them how few warriors and how many women and children there were in the camp. Judith would give me no peace till I had come ashore to see what had happened to you. Well, that's remarkable as concerns Judith. Why should she feel so much uncertainty about me? Ah! I see how it is now. Yes. I see into the whole matter now. You must understand, Hetty, that your sister is uneasy lest Harry March should wake and come blundering here into the hands of the enemy again under some idea that, being a travelling comrade, he ought to help me in this matter. Hurry is a blunderer, I will allow, but I don't think he'd risk as much for my sake, as he would for his own. Judith don't care for hurry, though hurry cares for her, replied Hetty innocently, but quite positively. I've heard you say as much as that of four, yes. I've heard that from you a four, gal, and yet it isn't true. One don't live in a tribe not to see something of the way in which liking works in a woman's heart. Though no way given to marrying myself, I've been a looker on among the Delaware's, and this is a matter in which pale face and red-skinned gifts are all as one as the same. When the feeling begins, the young woman is thoughtful and has no eyes or ears unless for the warrior that has taken her fancy. Then follows melancholy and sighing and such sort of actions, after which especially if matters don't come to plain discourse, she often flies round to backbiting and fault-finding, blaming the youth for the very things she likes best in him. Some young creatures are forward in this way of showing their love, and I'm of opinion Judith is one of them. Now I've heard her as much as deny that hurry was good-looking, and the young woman who could do that must be far gone indeed. The young woman who liked hurry would own that he is handsome. I think hurry very handsome, dear Slayer, and I'm sure everybody must think so, that has eyes. Judith don't like Harry March, and that's the reason she finds fault with him. Well, well, my good little Hattie, have it your own way. If we should talk from now till winter, each would think as at present, and there's no use in words. I must believe that Judith is much wrapped up in Harry, and that sooner or later she'll have him, and this too all the more from the manner in which she abuses him. And I dare to say you think just the contrary, but mind what I now tell you, Gal, and pretend not to know it. Lead this being who was so obtuse on a point on which men are usually quick enough to make discoveries, and so acute in matters that would baffle the observation of much the greater portion of mankind. I see how it is with them vagabonds. Rivenoch has left us, you see, and is talking yonder with his young men, and though too far to be heard, I can see what he is telling them. Their orders is to watch your movements, and to find where the canoe is to meet you, to take you back to the ark, and then to seize all and what they can. I'm sorry Judith sent you, for I suppose she wants you to go back again. All that settled, dear Slayer, return the girl in a low, confidential, and meaning manner. And you may trust me to outwit the best Indian of them all. I know I am feeble-minded. But I've got some sense, and you'll see how I use it in getting back, when my errand is done. As me, poor girl, I'm afeard all that's easier said than done. There are venomous set of reptiles, and their pisons none the milder, for the loss of hisst. Well, I'm glad the serpent was the one to get off with the gal, for now they'll be too happy at least, whereas had he fallen into the hands of the mingos, there'd been too miserable, and another far from feeling as a man likes to feel. Now you put me in mind of a part of my errand that I had almost forgotten, dear Slayer. Judith told me to ask you what you thought the herons would do with you, if you couldn't be bought off, and what she had best do to serve you. Yes, this was the most important part of the errand, what she had best do in order to serve you. That's as you think, Hetty. But it's no matter. Young women are apt to lay most stress on what most touches their feelings, but no matter. Have it your own way, so you be but careful not to let the vagabonds get the mastery of a canoe. When you get back to the ark, tell them to keep close, and to keep moving too, most especially at night. Many hours can't go by without the troops on the river hearing of this party, and then your friends may look for relief. Tis but a day's march from the nearest garrison, and true soldiers will never lie idle with the foe in their neighborhood. This is my advice, and you may say to your father and hurry that scalp hunting will be a poor business now, as the mingles are up and awake, and nothing can save them, till the troops come, except keeping a good belt of water between them and the savages. What shall I tell Judith about you, dear Slayer? I know she will send me back again if I don't bring her the truth about you. Then tell her the truth. I see no reason Judith Hutter shouldn't hear the truth about me, as well as a lie. I'm a captive in Indian hands, and Providence only knows what will come of it. I'm a key-hetti, dropping his voice and speaking still more confidentially. You are a little weak-minded, it must be allowed. But you know something of Indians. Here I am in their hands after having slain one of their stoutest warriors, and they'd been endeavoring to work upon me through fear of consequences to betray your father and all in the ark. I understand the blackards, as well as if they'd told it all out plainly with their tongues. They hold up avarice for me, on one side, and fear on the other, and think honesty will give way between them both, but let your father and hurry know, to his all useless, as for the serpent he knows it already. But what shall I tell Judith? She will certainly send me back if I don't satisfy her mind. Well, tell Judith the same. No doubt the savages will try the torments to make me give in, and to revenge the loss of their warrior, but I must hold out again natural weakness in the best manner I can. You may tell Judith to feel no concern in my account. It will come hard, I know, seeing that a white man's gifts don't run to boasting and singing under torment, for he generally feels smallest when he suffers most. But you may tell her not to have any concern. I think I shall make out to stand it, and she may rely on this, let me give in as much as I may, and prove completely that I am white by wailings and howlings and even tears, yet I'll never fall so far as to betray my friends. When it gets to burning holes in the flesh with heated ramrods, and to hacking the body, and tearing the hair out by the roots, nature may get the upper hand so far as groans and complaints are concerned. But there the triumph of the vagabonds will end. Nothing short of God's abandoning him to the devils can make an honest man untrue to his color and duty. Had he listened with great attention, and her mild but speaking countenance manifested a strong sympathy in the anticipated agony of the supposititious sufferer. At first she seemed at a loss how to act. Then, taking a hand of dear slayers, she affectionately recommended to him to borrow her Bible and to read it while the savages were inflicting their torments. When the other honestly admitted that it exceeded his power to read, she even volunteered to remain with him and to perform this holy office in person. The offer was gently declined, and Riv and Oak being about to join them, dear slayer requested the girl to leave him, first enjoining her again to tell those in the ark to have full confidence in his fidelity. Had he now walked away, and approached the group of females with as much confidence and self-position as if she were a native of the tribe, on the other hand the Huron resumed his seat by the side of his prisoner, the one continuing to ask questions with all the wily ingenuity of a practiced Indian counselor, and the other baffling him by the very means that are known to be the most efficacious in defeating the finesse of the more pretending diplomacy of civilization, or by confining his answers to the truth, and the truth only.

THE DEAR SLAYER BY JAMES FANIMOR COOPER CHAPTER XVIII THUS DIED SHE, NEVER MORE ON HER SHALL SORROW LIGHT, OR SHAME. SHE WAS NOT MADE THROUGH YEARS OR MOONS THE INNER WEIGHT TO BEAR, WHICH COLDER HEARTS ENDURET TILL THEY ARE LAID BY AGE IN EARTH. HER DAYS AND PLEASURE WERE BRIEF BUT DELIGHTFUL, SUCH AS HAD NOT STAYED LONG WITH HER DESTINY. BUT SHE SLEEPS WELL BY THE SEASHORE, WHEREON SHE LOVED TO DWELL. Byron, Don Juan, IV, 71 The young men who had been sent out to reconnoitre on the sudden appearance of Hattie soon returned to report their want of success in making any discovery. One of them had even been along the beach as far as the spot opposite to the Ark, but the darkness had completely concealed that vessel from his notice. Others had examined in different directions, and everywhere the stillness of night was added to the silence and solitude of the woods. It was consequently believed that the girl had come alone, as on her former visit, and on some similar errand. The Iroquois were ignorant that the Ark had left the castle, and there were movements projected if not in the course of actual execution by this time, which also greatly added to the sense of security. A watch was set, therefore, and all but the sentinels disposed themselves to sleep. Sufficient care was had to the safekeeping of the captive, without inflicting on him any unnecessary suffering. And as for Hattie, she was permitted to find a place among the Indian girls in the best manner she could. She did not find the friendly offices of Histe, though her character not only bestowed impunity from pain and captivity, but it procured for her a consideration and an attention that placed her on the score of comfort, quite on a level with the wild but gentle beings around her. She was supplied with a skin, and made her own bed on a pile of boughs, a little apart from the huts. Here she was soon in a profound sleep, like all around her. There were now thirteen men in the party, and three kept watch at a time. One remained in shadow, not far from the fire, however. His duty was to guard the captive, to take care that the fire neither blazed up so as to illuminate the spot, nor yet became holy extinguished, and to keep an eye generally on the state of the camp. Another passed from one beach to the other, crossing the base of the point, while the third kept moving slowly around the strand on its outer extremity, to prevent a repetition of the surprise that had already taken place that night. This arrangement was far from being usual among savages, who ordinarily rely more on the secrecy of their movements than on vigilance of this nature, but it had been called for by the peculiarity of the circumstances in which the Hurons were now placed. Their position was known to their foes, and it could not easily be changed at an hour which demanded rest. Perhaps, too, they placed most of their confidence on the knowledge of what they believed to be passing higher up the lake, and which it was thought would fully occupy the whole of the palefaces who were at liberty with their solitary Indian ally. It was also probable Rivenok was aware that, in holding his captive, he had in his own hands the most dangerous of all his enemies. The precision with which those accustomed to watchfulness or lives of disturbed rest sleep is not the least of the phenomena of our mysterious being. The head is no sooner on the pillow than consciousness is lost, and yet, at a necessary hour, the mind appears to arouse the body as promptly as if it had stood sentinel the while over it. There can be no doubt that they who are thus roused awake by the influence of thought over matter, though the mode in which this influence is exercised must remain hidden from our curiosity until it shall be explained, should that hour ever arrive by the entire enlightenment of the soul on the subject of all human mysteries. Thus it was with Hetty Hutter. Feeble as the immaterial portion of her existence was thought to be, it was sufficiently active to cause her to open her eyes at midnight. At that hour she awoke, and, leaving her bed of skin and bowels, she walked innocently and openly to the embers of the fire, stirring the latter as the coolness of the night in the woods, in connection with an exceedingly unsophisticated bed, had a little chilled her. As the flame shot up, it lighted the swarthy countenance of the Huron on watch, whose dark eyes glistened under its light like the balls of the panther that is pursued to his den with burning brands. But Hetty felt no fear, and she approached the spot where the Indians stood. Her movements were so natural, and so perfectly devoid of any of the stealthiness of cunning or deception, that he imagined she had merely arisen on account of the coolness of the night. A common occurrence in a bibwak. And the one of all others, perhaps the least likely to excite suspicion. Hetty spoke to him, but he understood no English. She then gazed near a minute at the sleeping captive, and moved slowly away in a sad and melancholy manner. The girl took no pains to conceal her movements. Any ingenious expedient of this nature quite likely exceeded her powers. Still, her step was habitually light and scarcely audible. As she took the direction of the extremity of the point, or the place where she had landed in the first adventure, and where HIST had embarked, the sentinel saw her light form gradually disappear in the gloom without uneasiness or changing his own position. He knew that others were on the lookout, and he did not believe that one who had twice come into the camp voluntarily, and had already left it openly, would take refuge in flight. In short, the conduct of the girl excited no more attention than that of any person of feeble intellect would excite in civilized society, while her person met with more consideration and respect. Hetty certainly had no very distinct notions of the localities, but she found her way to the beach, which she reached on the same side of the point as that on which the camp had been made, by following the margin of the water taking a northern direction she soon encountered the Indian who paced the strand as sentinel. This was a young warrior, and when he heard her light tread coming along the gravel he approached swiftly, though with anything but menace in his manner. The darkness was so intense that it was not easy to discover forms within the shadows of the woods at the distance of twenty feet, and quite impossible to distinguish persons until near enough to touch them. The young Huron manifested disappointment when he found whom he had met, for truth to say he was expecting his favorite, who had promised to relieve the ennui of a midnight watch with her presence. This man was also ignorant of English, but he was at no loss to understand why the girl should be up at that hour. Such things were usual in an Indian village and camp, where sleep is as irregular as the meals. Then poor Hetty's known in facility, as in most things connected with the savages, stood her friend on this occasion. Vexed at his disappointment, and impatient of the presence of one he thought an intruder, the young warrior signed for the girl to move forward, holding the direction of the beach. Hetty complied, but as she walked away she spoke aloud in English in her usual soft tones, which the stillness of the night made audible at some little distance. If you took me for a Huron girl, warrior, she said, I don't wonder you are so little pleased. I am Hetty Hutter, Thomas Hutter's daughter, and have never met any man at night for a mother always said it was wrong, and modest young women should never do it. Modest young women of the pale faces, I mean, for customs are different in different parts of the world, I know. No, no, I'm Hetty Hutter, and wouldn't meet even Harry, though he should fall down on his knees and ask me. Mother said it was wrong. By the time Hetty had said this she reached the place where the canoes had come ashore, and owing to the curvature of the land in the bushes would have been completely hid from the sight of the sentinel, had it been broad day. But another footstep had caught the lover's ear, and he was already nearly beyond the sound of the girl's silvery voice. Still Hetty, bent only on her own thoughts and purposes, continued to speak, though the gentleness of her tones prevented the sounds from penetrating far into the woods. On the water they were more widely diffused. Here I am, Judith, she added, and there is no one near me. The Huron on watch has gone to meet his sweetheart, who is an Indian girl, you know, and never had a Christian mother to tell her how wrong it is to meet a man at night. Hetty's voice was hushed by a hiss that came from the water, and then she caught a dim view of the canoe which approached, noiselessly, and soon grated on the shingle with its bow. The moment the weight of Hetty was felt in the light-craft, the canoe withdrew, stern foremost, as if possessed of life and volition, until it was a hundred yards from the shore. Then it turned and, making a wide sweep, as much to prolong the passage as to get beyond the sound of voices, it held its way towards the ark. For several minutes nothing was uttered. But believing herself to be in a favorable position to confer with her sister, Judith, who alone sat in the stern, managing the canoe with a skill little short of that of a man, began a discourse which she had been burning to commence ever since they had quitted the point. Here we are, safe, Hetty, she said, and may talk without the fear of being overheard. You must speak low, however, for sounds are heard far on the water in a still night. I was so close to the point some of the time while you were on it that I have heard the voices of the warriors, and I heard your shoes on the gravel of the beach even before you spoke. I don't believe, Judith, the Hurons know I have left them. Quite likely they do not, for a lover makes a poor sentry, unless it be to watch for his sweetheart. But tell me, Hetty, did you see and speak with dear Slayer? Oh, yes. There he was seated near the fire with his legs tied, though they left his arms free to move them as he pleased. Well, what did he tell you, child? Speak quick, I am dying to know what message he sent me. What did he tell me? Why, what do you think, Judith? He told me that he couldn't read. Only think of that. A white man, and not know how to read his Bible even. He never could have had a mother, sister. Never mind that, Hetty. All men can't read, though mother knew so much and taught us so much, father knows very little about books, and he can barely read the Bible, you know. Oh, I never thought fathers could read much, but mothers ought all to read, else how can they teach their children? Depend on it, Judith. Dear Slayer could never have had a mother, else he would know how to read. Did you tell him I sent you ashore, Hetty, and how much concern I feel for his misfortune? Ask the other, impatiently. I believe I did, Judith, but you know I am feeble-minded, and I may have forgotten. I did tell him you brought me ashore, and he told me a great deal that I was to say to you, which I remember well, for it made my blood run cold to hear him. He told me to say that his friends, I suppose you are one of them, sister? How can you torment me, thus Hetty? Certainly I am one of the truest friends he has on earth. Torment you? Yes, now I remember all about it. I am glad you used that word, Judith, for it brings it all back to my mind. Well, he said he might be tormented by the savages, but he would try to bear it as becomes a Christian white man, and that no one need be afeard. Why does Dearslayer call it afeard when mother always taught us to say afraid? Never mind, dear Hetty, never mind that now, cried the other, almost gasping for breath. Did Dearslayer really tell you that he thought the savages will put him to the torture? Recollect now well, Hetty, for this is a most awful and serious thing. Yes, he did, and I remember it by your speaking about my tormenting you. Oh, I felt very sorry for him, and Dearslayer took all so quietly and without noise. Dearslayer is not as handsome as Harry, Judith, but he is more quiet. He's worth a million hurries. Yes, he's worth all the young men who ever came upon the lake put together, said Judith, with an energy and positiveness that caused her sister to wonder. He is true. There is no lie about Dearslayer. You Hetty may not know what a merit it is in a man to have truth. But when you get—no, I hope you will never know it. Why should one like you ever be made to learn the hard lesson to distrust and hate? Judith bowed her face, dark as it was, and unseen she must have been by any eye but that of omniscience, between her hands and groaned. This sudden paroxysm of feeling, however, lasted but for a moment, and she continued more calmly, still speaking frankly to her sister, whose intelligence and whose discretion in anything that related to herself she did not in the least distrust. Her voice, however, was low and husky instead of having its former clearness and animation. It is a hard thing to fear truth, Hetty, she said, and yet do I more dread Dearslayer's truth than any enemy. One cannot tamper with such truth, so much honesty, such obstinate uprightness. But we are not altogether unequal, sister, Dearslayer and I. He is not altogether my superior. It was not usual for Judith so far to demean herself as to appeal to Hetty's judgment, nor did she often address her by the title of sister, a distinction that is commonly given by the junior to the senior, even where there is perfect equality in all other respects. As trifling departures from habitual deportment often are strike the imagination than more important changes, Hetty perceived the circumstances and wondered at them in her own simple way. Her ambition was a little quickened, and the answer was as much out of the usual course of things as the question, the poor girl attempting to refine beyond her strength. Superior Judith, she repeated with pride, In what can Dearslayer be your superior? Are you not mother's child? And does he know how to read and wasn't mother before any woman in all this part of the world? I should think so far from supposing himself your superior, he would hardly believe himself mine. You are handsome, and he is ugly. No, not ugly, Hetty, interrupted Judith, only plain, but his honest face has a look in it that is far better than beauty. In my eyes Dearslayer is handsomer than Harry Harry. Judith Hutter, you frighten me, hurry is the handsomest mortal in the world, even handsomer than you are yourself, because a man's good looks, you know, are always better than a woman's good looks. This little innocent touch of natural taste did not please the elder sister at the moment, and she did not scruple to betray it. Hetty, you now speak foolishly, and had better say no more on this subject, she answered. Hurry is not the handsomest mortal in the world by many. And there are officers in the garrisons, Judith stammered at the words, there are officers in the garrisons nearest far comlier than he. But why do you think me the equal of Dearslayer, speak of that? For I do not like to hear you show so much admiration of a man like Harry, who has neither feelings, manners, nor conscience. You are too good for him, and he ought to be told it at once. I, Judith, how you forget? Why, I am not beautiful, and am feeble-minded. You are good, Hetty, and that is more than can be said of Harry March. He may have a face and a body, but he has no heart. But enough of this for the present tell me what raises me to an equality with Dearslayer. You think of you asking me this, Judith. He can't read, and you can. He don't know how to talk, but speaks worse than Harry even. For, sister, Harry doesn't always pronounce his words right. Did you ever notice that? Certainly, he is as coarse in speech as in everything else, but I fear you flatter me, Hetty, when you think I can be justly called the equal of a man like Dearslayer. It is true, I have been better taught, in one sense and more comely, and perhaps might look higher. But then his truth, his truth, makes a fearful difference between us. Well, I will talk no more of this, and we will be think us of the means of getting him out of the hands of the Hurons. We have father's chest in the Ark, Hetty, and might try the temptation of more elephants, though I fear such bobbles will not buy the liberty of a man like Dearslayer. I am afraid father and hurry will not be as willing to ransom Dearslayer as Dearslayer was to ransom them. Why not, Judith? Harry and Dearslayer are friends, and friends should always help one another. Alas, poor Hetty! You little no mankind! Seeming friends are often more to be dreaded than open enemies, particularly by females. But you'll have to land in the morning and try again what can be done for Dearslayer. Tortured he shall not be, while Judith thought her lips, and can find means to prevent it. The conversation now grew desultory, and was drawn out until the elder sister had extracted from the younger every fact that the female faculties of the latter permitted her to retain, and to communicate. When Judith was satisfied, though she could never be said to be satisfied, whose feelings seemed to be so interwoven with all that related to the subject as to have excited a nearly inappeasable curiosity. But when Judith could think of no more questions to ask without resorting to repetition, the canoe was paddled towards the scow. The intense darkness of the night, and the deep shadows which the hills and forests cast upon the water, rendered it difficult to find the vessel anchored as it had been as close to the shore as a regard for safety rendered prudent. Judith was expert in the management of a bark canoe, the likeness of which demanded skill rather than strength. And she forced her own little vessel swiftly over the water the moment she had entered her conference with Hattie, and had come to the determination to return. Still no ark was seen. Several times the sisters fancied they saw it looming up in the obscurity like a low black rock, but on each occasion it was found to be either an optical illusion or some swell of the foliage on the shore. After a search that lasted half an hour, the girls were forced to the unwelcome conviction that the ark had departed. Most young women would have felt the awkwardness of their situation, in a physical sense, under the circumstances in which the sisters were left, more than any apprehensions of a different nature. Not so with Judith, however, and even Hattie felt more concern about the motives that might have influenced her father in hurry than any fears for her own safety. It cannot be, Hattie, said Judith, when a thorough search had satisfied them both that no ark was to be found. It cannot be that the Indians have rafted or swum off and surprised our friends as they slept. I don't believe that Hiss and Chingoch Cook would sleep until they had told each other all they had to say after so long a separation. Do you, sister? Perhaps not, child. There was much to keep them awake, but one Indian may have been surprised even when not asleep, especially as his thoughts may have been on other things. Still, we should have heard a noise, for in a night like this an oath of hurry Harrys would have echoed in the eastern hills like a clap of thunder. Hurry is sinful and thoughtless about his words, Judith, Hattie meekly and sorrowfully answered. No, no, tis impossible the ark could be taken, and I not hear the noise. It is not an hour since I left it, and the whole time I have been attentive to the smallest sound, and yet it is not easy to believe a father would willingly abandon his children. Perhaps father has thought us in our cabin asleep, Judith, and has moved away to go home. You know we often move the ark in the night. This is true, Hattie, and it must be as you suppose. There is a little more like southern air than there was, and they have gone up the lake. Judith stopped, for as the last word was on her tongue the scene was suddenly lighted, though only for a single instant by a flash. The crack of a rifle succeeded, and then followed the roll of the echo along the eastern mountains. Almost at the same moment a piercing female cry arose in the air in a prolonged shriek. The awful stillness that succeeded was, if possible, more appalling than the fierce and sudden interruption of the deep silence of midnight. Resolute as she was both by nature and habit, Judith scarce breathed, while poor Hattie hid her face and trembled. "'That was a woman's cry, Hattie,' said the former solemnly, and it was a cry of anguish. If the ark is moved from this spot it can only have gone north of this air. And the gun and the shriek came from the point. Can anything have befallen hissed? Let us go and see, Judith. She may want our assistance, for besides herself there are none but men in the ark.' It was not a moment for hesitation, and ere Judith had ceased speaking her paddle was in the water. The distance to the point in a direct line was not great, and the impulses under which the girls worked were too exciting to allow them to waste the precious moments in useless precautions. They paddled incautiously for them, but the same excitement kept others from noting their movements. Presently a glare of light caught the eye of Judith through an opening in the bushes, and, steering by it, she so directed the canoes to keep it visible while she got as near the land as was either prudent or necessary. The scene that was now presented to the observation of the girls was within the woods, on the side of the declivity so often mentioned, and in plain view from the boat. Here all in the camp were collected, some six or eight carrying torches of fat pine which cast a strong but funerial light and all beneath the arches of the forest. With her back supported against a tree, and sustained on one side by the young sentinel whose remissness had suffered had he to escape, but the female whose expected visit had produced his delinquency. By the glare of the torch that was held near her face it was evident that she was in the agonies of death, while the blood that trickled from her bared bosom betrayed the nature of the injury she had received. The pungent, peculiar smell of gunpowder, too, was still quite perceptible in the heavy damp night air. There could be no question that she had been shot. Both understood it all at a glance. The streak of light had appeared on the water a short distance from the point, and either the rifle had been discharged from a canoe hovering near the land, or it had been fired from the ark in passing. An incautious exclamation, or laugh, may have produced the assault, for it was barely possible that the aim had been assisted by any other agent than sound. As to the effect, that was soon still more apparent. The head of the victim dropping, and the body sinking in death. Then all the tortures but one were extinguished, a measure of prudence, and the melancholy train that bore the body to the camp was just to be distinguished by the glimmering light that remained. Judith sighed heavily and shuddered, as her paddle again dipped, and the canoe moved cautiously around the point. A sight had afflicted her senses, and now haunted her imagination, that was still harder to be borne than even the untimely fate and passing agony of the deceased girl. She had seen, under the strong glare of all the torches, the erect form of deer slayer standing with commiseration, and as she thought was shame depicted on his countenance near the dying female. He betrayed neither fear nor backwardness himself, but it was apparent by the glances cast at him by the warriors that fierce passions were struggling in their bosoms. All this seemed to be unheated by the captive, but it remained impressed on the memory of Judith throughout the night. No canoe was met hovering near the point. A stillness and darkness as complete as if the silence of the forest had never been disturbed, or the sun had never shown on that retired region now rained on the point, and on the gloomy water, the slumbering woods, and even the murky sky. No more could be done therefore than to seek a place of safety, and this was only to be found in the center of the lake. Paddling in silence to that spot, the canoe was suffered to drift northerly, while the girls sought such repose as their situation of feelings would permit. CHAPTER XIX Stand to your arms and guard the door, all's lost unless that fearful bell be silenced soon. The officer hath missed his path, or purpose, or met some unforeseen and hideous obstacle. And, Salmo, would thy company proceed straight to the tower? The rest remain with me. MARINO FALIERO IV. II. 230-235 The conjecture of Judith Hutter, concerning the manner in which the Indian girl had met her death, was accurate in the main. After sleeping several hours her father in March awoke. This occurred a few minutes after she had left the ark to go in quest of her sister, and when, of course, Chingochuk, and his betrothed, were on board. From the Delaware the old man learned the position of the camp, and the recent events, as well as the absence of his daughters. The latter gave him no concern, for he relied greatly on the sagacity of the elder, and the known impunity with which the younger passed among the savages. Long familiarity with danger, too, had blunted his sensibilities, nor did he seem much to regret the captivity of dear Slayer, for while he knew how material his aid might be in a defense, the difference in their views on the morality of the woods had not left much sympathy between them. He would have rejoiced to know the position of the camp before it had been alarmed by the escape of HIST, but it would be too hazardous now to venture to land, and he reluctantly relinquished for the night the ruthless designs that cupidity and revenge had excited him to entertain. In this mood Hutter took a seat in the head of the scow, where he was quickly joined by hurry, leaving the serpent and HIST in quiet possession of the other extremity of the vessel. Dear Slayer has shown himself a boy in going among the savages at this hour and letting himself fall into their hands like a deer that tumbles into a pit, growl the old man perceiving as usual the moat in his neighbor's eyes while he overlooked the beam in his own. If he is left to pay for his stupidity with his own flesh he can blame no one but himself. That's the way of the world, old Tom returned hurry. Every man must meet his own debts and answer for his own sins. I'm amazed, however, that a lad as skillful and watchful as Dear Slayer should have been caught in such a trap. Didn't he know any better than to go prowling about a Huron camp at midnight, with no place to retreat to but a lake? Or did he think himself a buck that by taking to the water could throw off the scent and swim himself out of difficulty? I had a better opinion of the boy's judgment I'll own, but we must overlook a little ignorance in a raw hand. I say, Master Hutter, do you happen to know what has become of the gals? I see no signs of Judith or Hetty, though I've been through the Ark and looked into all its living creatures. Hutter briefly explained the manner in which his daughters had taken to the canoe as it had been related by the Delaware as well as the return of Judith after landing her sister and her second departure. This comes of a smooth tongue, floating Tom exclaimed hurry, grating his teeth in pure resentment. This comes of a smooth tongue and a silly gals inclinations, and you had best look into the matter. You and I were both prisoners. Hurry, could we call that circumstance now. You and I were both prisoners, and yet Judith never stirred an inch to do us any service. She is bewitched with this length-looking Dear Slayer, and he, and she, and you and all of us, had best look into it. I am not a man to put up with such a wrong quietly, and I say all the parties had best look to it. Let's up-catch, old fellow, and move nearer this pint and see how matters are getting on. Hutter had no objections to this movement, and the Ark was got underway in the usual manner, care being taken to make no noise. The wind was passing northward, and the sail soon swept the scow so far up the lake as to render the dark outlines of the trees that clothed the point dimly visible. Floating Tom steered, and he sailed along as near the land as the depth of the water and the overhanging branches would allow. It was impossible to distinguish anything that stood within the shadows of the shore, but the forms of the sail and of the hut were discerned by the young sentinel on the beach, who has already been mentioned. In the moment of sudden surprise, a deep Indian exclamation escaped him. In that spirit of recklessness and ferocity that formed the essence of Hari's character, this man dropped his rifle and fired. The ball was sped by accident or by that overruling providence which decides the fates of all, and the girl fell. Then followed the scene with the torches which has just been described. At the precise moment when Hari committed this act of unthinking cruelty, the canoe of Judith was within a hundred feet of the spot from which the ark had so lately moved. Her own course has been described, and it has now become our office to follow that of her father and his companions. The shriek announced the effects of the random shot of march, and it also proclaimed that the victim was a woman. Hari himself was startled at these unlooked-for consequences, and for a moment he was sorely disturbed by conflicting sensations. At first he laughed in reckless and rude-minded exultation, and then conscience that monitor planted in our hearts by God, and which receives its more general growth from the training bestowed in the tillage of childhood, shot a pang to his heart. For a minute the mind of this creature equally of civilization and of barbarism was a sort of chaos as to feeling, not knowing what to think of its own act. And then the obstinacy and pride of one of his habits interposed to assert their usual ascendancy. He struck the butt of his rifle on the bottom of the scow with a species of defiance, and began to whistle a low air with an affectation of indifference. All this time the ark was in motion, and it was already opening the bay above the point, and was consequently quitting the land. Hari's companions did not view his conduct with the same indulgence as that with which he appeared disposed to regard it himself. Hatter growled out his dissatisfaction for the act led to no advantage, while it threatened to render the warfare more vindictive than ever, and nonsensure motiveless departures from the right more severely than the mercenary and unprincipled. Still he commanded himself, the captivity of dear slayer rendering the arm of the offender of double consequence to him at that moment. Shingochuk arose, and for a single instant the ancient animosity of tribes was forgotten, in a feeling of color. But he recollected himself in season to prevent any of the fierce consequences that, for a passing moment, he certainly meditated. Not so with hisst. Rushing through the hut, or cabin, the girl stood at the side of Hari almost as soon as his rifle touched the bottom of the scow, and with a fearlessness that did credit to her heart, she poured out her reproaches with the generous warmth of a woman. What for you shoot? she said. What hereon gal do that you kill him? What you think manner to say? What you think manner to feel? What Iroquois do? No get honor, no get camp, no get prisoner, no get battle, no get scalp, no get nothing at all. Blood come after blood. How you feel your wife killed? Who pity you when tear come for mutter or sister? You big as great pine, hereon gal, little slender birch. Why you fall on her and crush her? You tink hereon forget it? No. Red skin never forget. Never forget friend, never forget enemy. Red man manner to and that. Why you so wicked great pale face? Hari had never been so daunted as by this close and warm attack of the Indian girl. It is true that she had a powerful ally in his conscience, and while she spoke earnestly it was in tones so feminine as to deprive him of any pretext for unmanly anger. The softness of her voice added to the weight of her remonstrance, by lending to the latter an air of purity and truth. Like most vulgar-minded men, he had only regarded the Indians through the medium of their coarser and fiercer characteristics. It had never struck him that the affections are human, that even high principles, modified by habits and prejudices, but not the less elevated within their circle, can exist in the savage state, and that the warrior who is most ruthless in the field can submit to the softest and gentlest influences in the moments of domestic quiet. In a word it was the habit of his mind to regard all Indians as being only a slight degree removed from the wild beasts that roamed the woods, and to feel disposed to treat them accordingly whenever interest or caprice supplied a motive or an impulse. Still, though daunted by these reproaches the handsome barbarian could hardly be said to be penitent, he was too much rebuked by conscience to suffer an outbreak of temper to escape him. And perhaps he felt that he had already committed an act that might justly bring his manhood in question. Instead of resenting or answering the simple but natural appeal of hisst, he walked away, like one who disdained entering into a controversy with a woman. In the meanwhile the ark swept onward, and by the time the scene with the torches was enacting beneath the trees, it had reached the open lake, floating tom causing it to shear further from the land with a sort of instinctive dread of retaliation. An hour now passed in gloomy silence, no one appearing disposed to break it. Hist had retired to her pallet, and Chingochuk lay sleeping in the forward part of the scow. Hotter and hurry alone remained awake. The former at the steering oar, while the latter brooded over his own conduct, with the stubbornness of one little given to a confession of his errors, and the secret godings of the worm that never dies. This was at the moment when Judith and Hattie reached the center of the lake, and had lain down to endeavor to sleep in their drifting canoe. The night was calm, though so much obscured by clouds. The season was not one of storms, and those which did occur in the month of June on that embedded water, though frequently violent, were always of short continuance. Nevertheless, there was the usual current of heavy damp night air, which passing over the summits of the trees scarcely appeared to descend as low as the surface of the glassy lake, but kept moving a short distance above it, saturated with the humidity that constantly arose from the woods, and apparently never proceeding far in any one direction. The currents were influenced by the formation of the hills, as a matter of course, a circumstance that rendered even fresh breezes baffling, and which reduced the feebler efforts of the night air to be a sort of capricious and fickle sighings of the woods. Several times the head of the ark pointed east, and once it was actually turned towards the south again, but on the whole it worked its way north, hotter making always a fair wind, if wind it could be called, his principal motive appearing to keep in motion in order to defeat any treacherous design of his enemies. He now felt some little concern about his daughters, and perhaps as much about the canoe, but on the whole this uncertainty did not much disturb him, as he had the reliance already mentioned on the intelligence of Judith. It was the season of the shortest nights, and it was not long before the deep obscurity which precedes the day began to yield to the returning light. If any earthly scene could be presented to the senses of man that might soothe his passions and temper his ferocity, it was that which grew upon the eyes of hudder and hurry as the hours advanced. Changing night to morning. There were the usual soft tints of the sky in which neither the gloom of darkness nor the brilliancy of the sun prevails, and under which objects appear more unearthly, and we might add holy, than at any other portion of the twenty-four hours. The beautiful and soothing calm of eventide has been extolled by a thousand poets, and yet it does not bring with it the far-reaching and sublime thoughts of the half-hour that precedes the rising of a summer sun. In the one case the panorama is gradually hid from the sight, while in the other its objects start out from the unfolding picture, first dim and misty, then marked in, in solemn background. Next seen in the witchery of an increasing, a thing as different as possible from the decreasing twilight and finally mellow, distinct and luminous as the rays of the great center of light diffuse themselves in the atmosphere. The hymns of birds, too, have no moral counterpart in the retreat to the roost or the flight to the nest, and these invariably accompany the advent of the great day, until the appearance of the sun itself bathes in deep joy the land and sea. All this, however, hutter and hurry witnessed without experiencing any of that calm delight which the spectacle is want to bring, when the thoughts are just and the aspirations pure. They not only witnessed it, but they witnessed it under circumstances that had a tendency to increase its power and to heighten its charms. Only one solitary object became visible in the returning light that had received its form or uses from human taste or human desires, which has often deformed as beautify a landscape. This was the castle. All the rest being native and fresh from the hand of God. That singular residence, too, was in keeping with the natural objects of the view, starting out from the gloom, quaint, picturesque and ornamental. Nevertheless the whole was lost on the observers, who knew no feeling of poetry, had lost their sense of natural devotion in lives of obdurate and narrow selfishness, and had little other sympathy with nature than that which originated with her lowest wants. As soon as the light was sufficiently strong to allow of a distinct view of the lake, and more particularly of its shores, Goddard turned the head of the ark directly towards the castle, with the avowed intention of taking possession, for the day at least, as the place most favourable for meeting his daughters and for carrying on his operations against the Indians. By this time Chingachuk was up, and HIST was heard stirring among the furniture of the kitchen. The place for which they steered was distant only a mile, and the air was sufficiently favourable to permit it to be reached by means of the sale. At this moment too, to render the appearances generally auspicious, the canoe of Judith was seen floating northward in the broadest part of the lake, having actually passed the scow in the darkness in obedience to no other power than that of the elements. Hutter got his glass, and took a long and anxious survey to ascertain if his daughters were in the light-craft or not, and a slight exclamation like that of joy escaped him as he caught a glimpse of what he rightly conceived to be a part of Judith's dress above the top of the canoe. At the next instant the girl arose and was seen gazing about her, like one assuring herself of her situation. A minute later, had he was seen on her knees in the other end of the canoe, repeating the prayers that had been taught her in childhood by a misguided but repentant mother. As Hutter laid down the glass, still drawn to its focus, the serpent raised it to his eye and turned it towards the canoe. It was the first time he had ever used such an instrument, and his stunder stood by his, ah, the expression of his face, and his entire mien, that something wonderful had excited his admiration. It is well known that the American Indians, more particularly those of superior characters and stations, singularly maintained their self-possession and stoicism in the midst of the flood of marbles that present themselves in their occasional visits through the abodes of civilization. And Chinguchuk had imbibed enough of this impassibility to suppress any very undignified manifestation of surprise. With his, however, no such law was binding, and when her lover managed to bring the glass in a line with the canoe and her eye was applied to the smaller end, the girl started back in alarm. Then she clapped her hands with delight and a laugh, the usual attendant of untutored admiration followed. A few minutes suffice to enable this quick-witted girl to manage the instrument for herself, and she directed it at every prominent object that struck her fancy. Finding a rest in one of the windows she and the Delaware first surveyed the lake, then the shores, the hills, and finally the castle attracted their attention. After a long steady gaze at the latter, Hist took away her eye and spoke to her lover in a low earnest manner. Chinguchuk immediately placed his eye to the glass, and his look even exceeded that of his betrothed in length and intensity. Again they spoke together, confidentially, appearing to compare opinions after which the glass was laid aside, and the young warrior quitted the cabin to join hudder and hurry. The ark was slowly but steadily advancing, and the castle was materially within half a mile when Chinguchuk joined the two white men in the stern of the scow. His manner was calm, but it was evident to the others, who were familiar with the habits of the Indians, that he had something to communicate. Hurry was generally prompt to speak, and, according to custom, he took the lead on this occasion. Out with it, Redskin, he cried in his usual rough manner, Have you discovered a chipmunk in a tree, or is there a salmon trout swimming under the bottom of the scow? You find what a pale face can do in the way of eyes now, Serpent, and mustn't wonder that they can see the land of the Indians from afar off. No good to go to castle, put in Chinguchuk with emphasis. The moment the other gave him an opportunity of speaking. Here on there. The devil he is. If this should turn out to be true, floating Tom, a pretty trap we were about to pull down on our heads. Here on there. Well, this may be so. But no signs can I see anything near or about the old hut, but logs, water, and bark, baiting two or three windows and one door. Hutter called for the glass, and took a careful survey of the spot, before he ventured an opinion at all. Then he somewhat cavalierly expressed his dissent from that given by the Indian. You've got this glass wrong and foremost, Delaware, continued hurry. Neither the old man nor I can see any trail in the lake. No trail. Water make no trail, said Hist, eagerly. Stop boat. No go to near. Here on there. Aye, that's it. Stick to the same tale, and more people will believe you. I hope, Sarpent, that you and your gal will agree in telling the same story after marriage, as well as you do now. Here on there. Whereabouts is he to be seen in the padlock, or the chains, or the logs? There isn't a jail in the colony that has a more lock-up look about it than old Tom's Chiente, and I know something about jails from experience. No see Moccasin, said Hist, impatiently. Why no look, and see him. Give me the glass, Harry, interrupted Hutter, and lower the sail. It is seldom that an Indian woman meddles, and when she does there's generally a cause for it. There is truly a Moccasin floating against one of the piles, and it may or may not be a sign that the castle has an escaped visitors in our absence. Moccasins are no rarities, however, for I wear them myself, and dear Slayer wear them, and you wear them March, and for that matter so does Hattie. Quite as often as she wears shoes, though I never yet saw Judith trust her pretty foot in a Moccasin. Harry had lowered the sail, and by this time the ark was within two hundred yards of the castle, setting in nearer and nearer each moment, but at a rate too slow to excite any uneasiness. Each now took the glass in turn, and the castle and everything near it was subjected to a scrutiny still more rigid than ever. There the Moccasin lay, beyond a question, floating so lightly and preserving its form so well that it was scarcely wet. It had caught by a piece of the rough bark of one of the piles on the exterior of the water palisade that formed the dock already mentioned, which circumstance alone prevented it from drifting away before the air. There were many modes, however, of accounting for the presence of the Moccasin, without supposing it to have been dropped by an enemy. It might have fallen from the platform even while Hutter was in possession of the place, and drifted to the spot where it was now seen, remaining unnoticed until detected by the acute vision of HIST. It might have drifted from a distance up or down the lake and accidentally become attached to the pile or palisade. It might have been thrown from a window and alighted in that particular place, or it might certainly have fallen from a scout or an assailant during the past night who was obliged to abandon it to the lake in the deep obscurity which then prevailed. All these conjectures passed from Hutter to hurry, the former appearing disposed to regard the omen as a little sinister, while the latter treated it with his usual reckless disdain. As for the Indian, he was of opinion that the Moccasin should be viewed as one would regard a trail in the woods which might or might not, equally, prove to be threatening. HIST, however, had something available to propose. She declared her readiness to take a canoe to proceed to the palisade and bring away the Moccasin, when its ornaments would show whether it came from the Canada's or not. Both the white men were disposed to accept this offer, but the Delaware interfered to prevent the risk. If such a service was to be undertaken it best became a warrior to expose himself in its execution, and he gave his refusal to let his betrothed proceed, much in the quiet but brief manner in which an Indian husband issues his commands. Well then, Delaware, go yourself if you're so tender of your squaw, put in the unceremonious hurry. That Moccasin must be had, or floating time will keep off here at arm's length till the hearth cools in his cabin. It's but a little deerskin after all, and cut this away or that away it's not a scarecrow to frighten true hunters from their game. What say you, serpent? Shall you or I canoe it? Let red men go. Better eyes than pale face. No hereon trick better, too. That I'll gain say to the hour of my death. A white man's eyes and a white man's nose, and for that matter his sight and ears are all better than an Indian's when fairly tried. Time and again have I put that to the proof, and what is proved is certain. Still I suppose the poorest vagabond going, whether Delaware or hereon, can find his way to yonder hot and back again. And so, serpent, use your paddle and welcome. Chingochkoek was already in the canoe, and he dipped the implement the other named into the water, just as hurry's limbertongues ceased. Watawa saw the departure of her warrior on this occasion with the submissive silence of an Indian girl, but with most of the misgivings and apprehensions of her sex. Throughout the whole of the past night, and down to the moment when they used the glass together in the hut, Chingochkoek had manifested as much manly tenderness towards his betrothed as one of the most refined sentiment could have shown under similar circumstances. But now every sign of weakness was lost in an appearance of stern resolution. Although hissed, timidly endeavored to catch his eye as the canoe left the side of the ark, the pride of a warrior would not permit him to meet her fond and anxious looks. The canoe departed and not a wandering glance rewarded her solicitude. Nor were the Delaware's care and gravity misplaced, under the impressions with which he proceeded on this enterprise. If the enemy had really gained possession of the building, he was obliged to put himself under the very muzzles of their rifles, as it were, and this too without the protection of any of that cover which forms so essential an ally in Indian warfare. It is scarcely possible to conceive of a service more dangerous, and had the serpent been fortified by the experience of ten more years, or had his friend the deerslayer been present, it would never have been attempted. The advantage is in no degree compensating for the risk. But the pride of an Indian chief was acted on by the rivalry of color, and it is not unlikely that the presence of the very creature from whom his ideas of manhood prevented his receiving a single glance, overflowing as he was with the love she so well merited, had no small influence on his determination. Chingoch Kuk paddled steadily towards the palisades, keeping his eyes on the different loops of the building. Each instant he expected to see the muzzle of a rifle protruded, or to hear its sharp crack. But he succeeded in reaching the piles in safety. Here he was, in a measure protected, having the heads of the palisades between him and the hut, and the chances of any attempt on his life while thus covered, were greatly diminished. The canoe had reached the piles with its head inclining northward, and at a short distance from the moccasin. Instead of turning to pick up the latter, the Delaware slowly made the circuit of the whole building, deliberately examining every object that should betray the presence of enemies, or the commission of violence. Not a single sign could he discover, however, to confirm the suspicions that had been awakened. The stillness of desertion pervaded the building. Not a fastening was displaced. Not a window had been broken. The door looked as secure as at the hour when it was closed by hotter. And even the gate of the dock had all the customary fastenings. In short, the most wary and jealous eye could detect no other evidence of the visit of enemies than that which was connected with the appearance of the floating moccasin. The Delaware was now greatly at a loss how to proceed. At one moment, as he came round in front of the castle, he was on the point of stepping up on the platform and of applying his eye to one of the loops, with a view of taking a direct personal inspection of the state of things within. But he hesitated. Though of little experience in such matters himself, he had heard so much of Indian artifices, through traditions, had listened with such breathless interest to the narration of the escapes of the elder warriors, and, in short, was so well schooled in the theory of his calling, that it was almost as impossible for him to make any gross blunder on such an occasion, as it was for a well-grounded scholar who had commenced correctly to fail in solving his problem in mathematics. Relinquishing the momentary intention to land, the chief slowly pursued his course round the palisades. As he approached the moccasin, having now nearly completed the circuit of the building, he threw the ominous article into the canoe by a dexterous and almost imperceptible movement of his paddle. He was now ready to depart, but retreat was even more dangerous than the approach as the eye could no longer be riveted on the loops. If there was really any one in the castle, the motive of the Delaware in reconnoitering must be understood, and it was the wisest way, however perilous it might be, to retire with an air of confidence, as if all distrust were terminated by the examination. Such, accordingly, was the course adopted by the Indian, who paddled deliberately away, taking the direction of the Ark, suffering no nervous impulse to quicken the emotions of his arms, or to induce him to turn even a furtive glance behind him. No tender wife reared in the refinements of the highest civilization ever met a husband on his return from the field, with more of sensibility in her countenance than his discovered, as she saw the great serpent of the Delaware's step unharmed into the Ark. Still she repressed her emotion, though the joy that sparkled in her dark eyes, and the smile that lighted her pretty mouth, spoke a language that her betrothed could understand. Well, Sarpent, cried hurry, always the first to speak, what news from the muskrats? Did they shew their teeth, as you surrounded their dwelling? I know like him, sententiously returned the Delaware too still, so still can see silence. That's downright engine, as if anything could make less noise than nothing. If you've no better reason than this to give, old Tom had better hoist his sail, and go and get his breakfast under his own roof. What has become of the moccasin? Here, returned Chingoch Cook, holding up his prize for the general inspection. The moccasin was examined, and hissed confidently pronounced it to be Huron, by the manner in which the porcupine's quills were arranged on its front. Hotter and the Delaware too were decidedly of the same opinion. Admitting all this, however, it did not necessarily follow that its owners were in the castle. The moccasin might have drifted from a distance, or it might have fallen from the foot of some scout who had quitted the place when his errand was accomplished. In short, it explained nothing, while it awakened so much distrust. Under the circumstances, hotter and hurry were not meant to be long deterred from proceeding by proofs as slight as that of the moccasin. They hoisted the sail again, and the ark was soon in motion heading towards the castle. The wind or air continued light, and the movement was sufficiently slow to allow of a deliberate survey of the building as the scow approached. The same death-like silence reigned, and it was difficult to fancy that anything possessing animal life could be in or around the place. Unlike the serpent, whose imagination had acted through his traditions until he was ready to perceive an artificial in a natural stillness, the others saw nothing to apprehend in a tranquillity that, in truth, merely denoted the repose of inanimate objects. The accessories of the scene too were soothing and calm rather than exciting. The day had not yet advanced so far as to bring the sun above the horizon, but the heavens, the atmosphere, and the woods and lake were all seen under that softened light which immediately precedes his appearance, and which perhaps is the most witching period of the four and twenty hours. It is the moment when everything is distinct, even the atmosphere seeming to possess a liquid lucidity, the hues appearing gray and softened, with the outlines of objects defined, and the perspective just as moral truths that are presented in their simplicity without the meretricious aids of ornament or glitter. In a word, it is the moment when the senses seem to recover their powers in the simplest and most accurate forms, like the mind emerging from the obscurity of doubts into the tranquillity and peace of demonstration. Most of the influence that such a scene is apt to produce on those who are properly constituted in a moral sense was lost on hudder and hurry, but both the Delaware's, though too much accustomed to witness the loveliness of morning tide to stop to analyze their feelings, were equally sensible of the beauties of the hour, though it was probably in a way unknown to themselves. It disposed the young warrior to peace, and never had he felt less longings for the glory of the combat than when he joined hissed in the cabin, the instant the scow rubbed against the side of the platform. From the indulgence of such gentle emotions, however, he was aroused by a rude summons from hurry, who called on him to come forth and help to take in the sail and to secure the ark. Chingeshguk obeyed, and by the time he had reached the head of the scow, hurry was on the platform, stamping his feet, like one glad to touch what, by comparison, might be called terra firma, and proclaiming his indifference to the whole Huron tribe in his customary noisy dogmatical manner. Hutter had hauled a canoe up to the head of the scow, and was already about to undo the fastenings of the gate, in order to enter within the dock. March had no other motive in landing than a senseless bravado, and having shaken the door in a manner to put its solidity to the proof, he joined Hutter in the canoe, and began to aid him in opening the gate. The reader will remember that this mode of entrance was rendered necessary by the manner in which the owner of this singular residence habitually secured it, whenever it was left empty, more particularly at moments when danger was apprehended. Hutter had placed a line in the Delaware's hand on entering the canoe, intimating that the other was to fasten the ark to the platform and to lower the sail. Instead of following these directions, however, Chingeshguk left the sail standing and throwing the bite of the rope over the head of a pile, he permitted the ark to drift round till it lay against the defenses, in a position where it could be entered only by means of a boat or by passing along the summits of the palisades, the latter being an exploit that required some command of the feet, and which was not to be attempted in the face of a resolute enemy. In consequence of this change in the position of the skull, which was effective before Hutter had succeeded in opening the gate of his dock, the ark and the castle lay, as sailors would express it, yard arm and yard arm, kept asunder some ten or twelve feet by means of the piles. As the skull pressed close against the latter, their tops formed a species of breastwork that rose to the height of a man's head, covering in a certain degree the parts of the skull that were not protected by the cabin. The Delaware surveyed this arrangement with great satisfaction, and as the canoe of Hutter passed through the gate into the dock, he thought that he might defend his position against any garrison in the castle, for sufficient time, could he but have had the helping arm of his friend Dear Slayer, as it was he felt comparatively secure, and no longer suffered the keen apprehensions he had lately experienced in behalf of HIST. A single shove sent the canoe from the gate to the trap beneath the castle. Here Hutter found all fast, neither padlock nor chain nor bar having been molested. The key was produced, the locks removed, the chain loosened, and the trap pushed upward. Hurry now thrust his head in at the opening. The arms followed, and the colossal legs rose without any apparent effort. At the next instant his heavy foot was heard stamping in the passage above, that which separated the chambers of the father and the daughters, and into which the trap opened. He then gave a shout of triumph. Come on, old Tom! The reckless woodsman called out from within the building. Here's your tenement, safe and sound, eye, and as empty as a nut that has passed half an hour in the paws of a squirrel. The Delaware brags of being able to see silence. Let him come here, and he may feel it in the bargain. Any silence where you are, hurry, Harry, returned Hutter, thrusting his head in at the hole as he uttered the last word, which instantly caused his voice to sound smothered to those without. Any silence where you are ought to be both seen and felt for it's unlike any other silence. Come come, old fellow, hoist yourself up, and we'll open doors and windows and let in the fresh air to brighten up matters. Few words in troublesome times make men the best friends. Your Dr. Judith is what I call a misbehaving young woman, and the hold of the whole family on me is so much weakened by her late conduct, that it wouldn't take a speech as long as the ten commandments to send me off to the river, leaving you in your traps, your ark, and your children, your manservants, and your maidservants, your oxen, and your asses to fight this battle with the Iroquois by yourselves. Open that window, floating Tom, and I'll blunder through and do the same job to the front door. A moment of silence succeeded, and a noise like that produced by the fall of a heavy body followed. A deep execution from hurry succeeded, and then the whole interior of the building seemed alive. The noises that now so suddenly, and we may add so unexpectedly even to the Delaware, broke the stillness within, could not be mistaken. They resembled those that would be produced by a struggle between tigers and a cage. Once or twice the indian yell was given, but it seemed smothered, and as if it proceeded from exhausted or compressed throats, and in a single instance a deep and another shockingly revolting execution came from the throat of hurry. It appeared as if bodies were constantly thrown upon the floor with violence, as often rising to renew the struggle. Chingichuk felt greatly at a loss what to do. He had all the arms in the ark, hotter and hurry having proceeded without their rifles, but there was no means of using them, or passing them to the hands of their owners. The combatants were literally caged, rendering it almost as impossible under the circumstances to get out as to get into the building. Then there was hissed to embarrass his movements and to cripple his efforts. With a view to relieve himself from this disadvantage he told the girl to take the remaining canoe and to join Hutter's daughters, who were incautiously but deliberately approaching in order to save herself and to warn the others of their danger. But the girl positively and firmly refused to comply. At that moment no human power short of an exercise of superior physical force could have induced her to quit the ark. The exigency of the moment did not admit a delay, and the Delaware seeing no possibility of serving his friends cut the line, and by a strong shove forced the scowl some twenty feet clear of the piles. Here he took the sweeps and succeeding in getting a short distance to windward, if any direction could be thus termed in so light an air, but neither the time nor his skill at the oars allowed the distance to be great. When he ceased rowing the ark might have been a hundred yards from the platform, and half that distance to the southward of it, the sail being lowered. Judith and Hetty had now discovered that something was wrong, and were stationary a thousand feet farther north. All this while the furious struggle continued within the house. In scenes like these events thicken and less time than they can be related. From the moment when the first fall was heard within the building to that when the Delaware ceased his awkward attempts to row, it might have been three or four minutes, but it had evidently served to weaken the combatants. The oaths and execrations of hurry were no longer heard, and even the struggles had lost some of their force and fury. Nevertheless they still continued with unabated perseverance. At this instant the door flew open and the fight was transferred to the platform, the light and the open air. A Huron had undone the fastenings of the door, and three or four of his tribe rushed after him upon the narrow space as if glad to escape from some terrible scene within. The body of another followed pitched headlong through the door with terrific violence, then march appeared. Raging like a lion at bay, and for an instant freed from his numerous enemies, Hutter was already a captive and bound. There was now a pause in the struggle which resembled a lull in a tempest. The necessity of breathing was common to all, and the combatants stood watching each other, like mastiffs that had been driven from their holds and are waiting for a favorable opportunity of renewing them. We shall profit by this pause to relate the manner in which the Indians had obtained possession of the castle, and this the more willingly because it may be necessary to explain to the reader why a conflict which had been so close and fierce should have also been so comparatively bloodless. Ribbon Oak and his companion, particularly the latter who would appear to be a subordinate and occupied solely with his raft, had made the closest observations in their visits to the castle. Even the boy had brought away minute and valuable information. By these means the Hurons obtained a general idea of the manner in which the place was constructed and secured, as well as of details that enabled them to act intelligently in the dark. Notwithstanding the care that Hutter had taken to drop the ark on the east side of the building when he was in the act of transferring the furniture from the former to the latter, he had been watched in a way to render the precaution useless. Scouts were on the lookout on the eastern as well as on the western shore of the lake, and the whole proceeding had been noted. As soon as it was dark, rafts like that already described approach from both shores to Reconoiter, and the ark had passed within fifty feet of one of them without its being discovered. The men had held lying at their length on the logs, so as to blend themselves and their slow-moving machine with the water. When these two sets of adventurers drew near the castle, they encountered each other, and after communicating their respective observations, they unhesitatingly approached the building. As had been expected, it was found empty. The rafts were immediately sent for a reinforcement to the shore, and two of the savages remained to profit by their situation. These men succeeded in getting on the roof and by removing some of the bark in entering what might be termed the garret. Here they were found by their companions. Hatchets now opened a hole through the squared logs of the upper floor, through which no less than eight of the most athletic of the Indians dropped into the rooms beneath. Here they were left, well supplied with arms and provisions, either to stand a siege or to make a sortie, as the case might require. The night was passed in sleep as as usual with Indians in a state of inactivity. The returning day brought them a view of the approach of the ark through the loops, the only manner in which light and air were now admitted, the windows being closed most effectually with plank, rudely fashioned to fifth. As soon as it was ascertained that the two white men were about to enter by the trap, the chief who directed the proceedings of the Hurons took his measures accordingly. He removed all the arms from his own people, even to the knives, in distrust of savage ferocity when awakened by personal injuries, and he hid them where they could not be found without a search. Ropes of bark were then prepared, and taking their stations in the three different rooms, they all waited for the signal to fall upon their intended captives. As soon as the party had entered the building, men without, replaced the bark of the roof, removed every sign of their visit with care, and then departed for the shore. It was one of these who had dropped his moccasin, which he had not been able to find again in the dark. Had the death of the girl been known, it is probable that nothing could have saved the lives of Hurry and Hutter. But that event occurred after the ambush was laid, and at a distance of several miles from the encampment near the castle. Such were the means that had been employed to produce the state of things we shall continue to describe.

What was the preparation like for you before you'd ring that phone? Fantastic question. It's the first time I've been asked that question. I had a pad by my computer and phone, and I would write the name of the person that I was saying I was, who I was impersonating. I would write their title. I would have already done a ton of research on the company. What was going on with the company that day, last week, the next week, stock price up, down, big conference coming up, had they announced a deal, did the CEO just resign? I would do hours of research, sometimes days of research, because sometimes we would only get one chance, if I'm calling the COO of the firm and expecting him to believe that I'm the head of the office in Germany. This is Gerhardt calling from his office in Frankfurt. He has a European Union regulators here and they need some information from the states. So I would be doing some accent, because all of these firms are global now. They have offices in Tokyo and Frankfurt and Paris and London and Dublin. So you could do an Irish accent, you could do a German. And so all of a sudden, this executive in the states goes, oh my gosh, it's Ian Blumblum, the head of the Dublin. Oh, hey Ian, and he may know that person, probably does, but not well enough generally that he's gonna call you out and say, wait a second, this isn't you. But again, I would do research on the voices. Even back in the day, now you can hear people giving, most executives have done some sort of speaking, right? But even you could call and just get their voicemail. And I'd listen, this is Gerhardt, I'm not here right now, but he leaves the message and I will call you back and I would hear his accent. I go, oh, I can do that accent. Again, I'd practice it a little bit. And so now I have the voice down, even if someone recognized it slightly. So there was a lot of research involved and I did an event recently with Valerie Plame, who was the CIA agent, who was outed by the Bush administration in 2003. In the event I said to her, Valerie, you're the most famous CIA agent ever outed by their own government. She said, Robert, I'm the only CIA agent ever outed by their own government, which was really disturbing. But she was very funny. She said two things, which I found amazing. One, she agreed with me that women, with my boss that hired me, that women made better spies. And the other thing was she said that the CIA agents also did a tremendous amount of research. Anytime an operative was sent out into the field, there was so much research, so much planning, because obviously you have an operative go out in the field and one thing goes wrong and the whole thing is blown, right? So when I was telling her about how much research we would do before we would even pick up the phone to make one phone call, it made a lot of sense to her.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZbSvsus0Ts", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

The results showed that afla, zn, don, and fum were found in 33%, 45%, 59%, and 64% of samples, respectively. Additionally, 81% of all samples tested positive for at least one mycotoxin. This study also revealed regional differences in mycotoxin levels, with higher levels of afla and don detected in samples from North America compared to those from Europe or Asia.

UCXB8fM4VyQubRu3UVGhd3wA	ECB Forum on Banking Supervision - Highlights - 4 November 2015	The first ECB Forum on Banking Supervision took place on 4 November 2015 in Frankfurt am Main, marking the one-year anniversary of ECB Banking Supervision.	[ "ECB", "European Central Bank", "National Central Banks", "EZB", "press conference", "monetary policy", "stability", "Euro zone", "euro area", "Euro System", "finance", "financial", "bank", "banking", "Draghi", "Global Financial System (Literature Subject)", "Finance (Industry)" ]	2015-12-04T16:24:29	2024-02-05T16:37:28	423	VZxVhhuH6_M	In the early years of the euro, we lived under the illusion that we had established a full-fledged monetary union. There can, however, only be a single money if there is a single banking system. The amount of progress made in such a short period of time is definitely impressive. And I believe we have taken a giant leap towards ensuring consistent supervision in the euro area. I am very pleased to be here to wish Daniela and her team a happy birthday and to congratulate them on all the work that they've done in getting Europe's single supervisor off the ground in record time. So much so that it's easy to forget that it was only a year ago that they took over their responsibility and the supervision of some 6,000 banks. And I think that the transition of supervisory tasks from the national authorities has been remarkably smooth. And today the SSM feels so much part of the furniture that it is impossible now to imagine life without it. I have collected a large number of important points and I want to mention them telegraphically because I don't think they should be lost before reaching out to the speakers and to the audience. Institutional complexity and legal complexity. This is a daily problem as we move on and we apply the rules to concrete cases to have a reliable, transparent, easy-to-administer framework in particular to distinguish the national legal responsibilities and prerogatives from the European ones. We have some overarching rules when there is a clear conflict European law prevails and we have the transposition laws that we have to apply but in a number of concrete cases we need a better roadmap to understand where and how one prevails, the other prevails or the two interact. I'd like to ask a last round of questions to everybody and I will start the sentence and I would like you to end the sentence. So... It depends on what you say. So we start with Anna. If I could make one change at the SSM, I would. That is a very loaded question. That's why I chose it. Yes. But I'd say not just one, no, no. Is there one thing that you really would like to change? No, I mean, I think the one thing that would be... And then they've done this already so I think it's yes but no. I mean, I think is that we continue to get clarity. I think Europe has been slower than the US and the UK and other markets in implementing the changes post-crisis. So it's not the SSM itself. It's been incredibly fast, actually, if we think as we're hearing this morning they've done an amazing job in a very short time period but the issue is that we're coming from behind. And I do think a level playing field is critical and I refer not just between banks and non-banks but between regions. And I think that we are at the level of the US and we are playing all according to the same rules as soon as possible is very important. So I think... You end the sentence. Thank you. Larry Brainard. In December, the Federal Reserve will... Okay, that was difficult. To which I'll constance you. If I have to choose between price stability and financial stability, I'd choose... Well, as ECB we have no choice but to choose price stability, of course. It's our mandate. It's our primary mandate. It's very clear. We have a hierarchical mandate and it's very clear. Martin Helbig. The next big financial crisis will be caused by... Undercapitalization of banks. When global interest rates go up, financial markets will go up. That was good. Banking regulation and supervision and there are few exceptions in this room by and large haven't attracted attention before the 2008 crisis in our profession, unfortunately. It should be science-based and if economists don't do their job, it's going to be hard to make it science-based. And conversely, economists must learn from practitioners and they must invest more in empirical work. It has been a fair amount lately on calibrating capital adequacy ratio and equity coverage ratio, but we need to make more progress. We need to make more progress in our conceptual framework. And I think this form will be a very important step. We should recognize that banks are utilities. You have to keep the big ones going because they provide a utility service to society as a whole. Now that undoubtedly means that because you've got to keep the thing going that you have to supervise them fairly very strongly. And I very much in favor of your and Annette's argument that as utilities they need to have a great deal more equity capital. It's a day of celebration for us today but I think nevertheless we should step back with this, you know, one year celebration and look on the major challenges we have in the SSM. I joined those, calling for an end to the development phase, going, turning to an implementation phase of the regulatory reform. And in this context it will be key that we do not only implement the new rules and standards diligently, it will be even more important to actually use the newly acquired supervisory instruments in a consistent and in a risk-orientated manner.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZxVhhuH6_M", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
